Sora glared up at the five men above him. It wasn't too long ago when they were in a situation like this- sans himself being comatose. He glared at Master Xehanort- the ringleader of such a evil circus "So, you're the one who's causing all this."
"Indeed, child." He said, obviously bored. Sora thought about what to say before he resumed "I find it quite amusing that you believe you can stop me."
Sora laughed mockingly "Well I think it's amusing how you think curiosity is an excuse for an apocalypse!" He became caught up in a rare burst of anger "You don't even care for anyone-"
"T-that's not true!"
The room settled into uncomfortable silence, everyone's eyes now on the youngest of the Darknesses. Xehanort the Younger bit his lip a moment, then said in his usual composed tone with slight hesitancy "I care... about you."
Sora's harsh glare melted into a warm smile and he began blushing a little "Well, yeah, I know YOU do..."
Riku, behind Sora and ready for a fight, suddenly seemed to falter. Roxas, who was right next to Riku, did a double take. Kairi and Ventus- bringing up the rear and side by side -had no skill to hide their shock, their jaws loose and hanging.
Riku was the first to recover "Sora..." he suddenly connected the dots, and his voice growled "Sora, about that new little boyfriend of yours you mentioned awhile ago..." Sora suddenly looked afraid and worried as Riku asked "Who is he?"
Sora turned back, shrugging and stuttering and his face becoming red and apologetic "I-I was.. I was gonna tell you guys... I was! Honest!"
Everyone's heads whipped up as the rest of this group of Organization XIII began laughing mockingly. Well, except for Saïx and Master Xehanort, who remained as stony faced as always.
"Oh wow, the tyke thinks he 'loves' somebody! That's rich!" Xigbar slapped his knees He leaned forward, his grin sickening "Man, and it's one of the goody-two-shoes, too!" he grinned at Young Xehanort "Not even a smart one! I thought you'd go for Ms. Short-skirt over there!"
"Hey!" Sora barked at him. No one insulted Kairi or his recently acquired boyfriend.
Young Xehanort sank into his throne a little, his already dark skin tone deepening around his cheeks.
Saïx's comment was curt, but even more scathing "How pathetic."
Xemnas merely shook his head, his chuckling seeming to have no end as he gently moved a hand to cover his mocking grin.
Young Xehanort shrank away from his elder self's glare, leaning against the very back of his seat now
Sora called up to him "Hey! Don't listen to them!" He held up his hand "I'm here! I'm here and I care about you, too!"
Riku grabbed Sora's hand and pulled it away "Have you forgotten who he IS?!"
Sora tore his hand away from Riku "You need to be a little more open minded-"
"But Sora, isn't he kinda.. you know... bad?" Kairi said, mostly too confused and lost to contribute much more. Ventus seemed angry, but mostly just... disappointed "Sora, have you forgotten about what I've told you about Xehanort?!"
"I haven't forgotten." Sora replied, his head far more even "And that was the old guy sitting up there." although he was starting to get irritated by the laughter and mocking of Young Xehanort. He looked at everyone's shocked and betrayed expressions, wishing that the truth didn't come out quite like that.
"I thought you knew better than that!" Roxas snapped at him. Sora wasn't hurt much by previous comments, but Roxas seemed a lot more stinging than the rest. Roxas marched up and jabbed his finger into his heart "You KNOW that THIS will lead you astray sometimes and yet you still blindly follow it!" he grabbed Sora's necklace when he began shying away with tears in his eyes "For all you know he's just lying to you and leading you on."
"Hands off, Nobody." Roxas was suddenly knocked away.
Sora noticed the laughter had faded and turned to see that Young Xehanort had been Roxas's assailant. He tenderly held Sora's shoulder "Are you alright?" Sora nodded, a little embarrassed "He was just mad, that's all..." He then added harsher "There wasn't any need for that!"
"He was hurting you." Young Xehanort replied with a warning glare at the others. They replied with a glare of their own, although it was slightly confused.
Young Xehanort grabbed Sora's hand, and then announced to the whole room "If none of you can believe that, if no one here can accept that, then I'm taking us both away." Sora was about to object when he continued "We shall be neutral party until this whole matter can be resolved without the need of a war, and that you all gain a little more thought about what we've been doing."
Sora felt Xehanort's hand on his shoulder tighten, heard the clamor of alarm, and even reached his hand to his friends with his mouth gaping open to yell in alarm or a last goodbye, but soon he was whisked away by the darkness.
