Our Life chapter 6

Unexpected Life.

Leon sat on the hotel bed, waiting for Cloud to finish up in the shower. He was about to fall asleep when Clouds mobile started to ring, Leon looked from the phone to the bathroom door. Cloud didn't seem have heard it and he knew Cloud deserved some peace after the first day of the meet. Cloud and Leons mother had the usual polite greeting which turned sour when his father had come over, ruining the almost bearable tense atmosphere. His parents weren't against his relationship with Cloud, it was worse, they were disappointed he hadn't jumped at the chance to marry that nice girl from their neighbouring pack. What really had made the day was the news that the mutt Xenmas had been rounding up other mutts into his 'organisation', it caused worry throughout the other packs. Xenmas wasn't to be taken lightly. Leon groaned and picked up the phone, Demyxs name was in the caller ID box. Leon felt apprehensive about answering it. They couldn't have gotten in trouble already, well seeing that it was three teenage boys left to their own devices for 5 days he'd been expecting a call a little later on, not the same day they had left.

He answered the phone. "Demyx, what happened?"

"Hehe, why do you sound so resigned, its not as if we blew up the house or something." Demyx sounded nervous.

"What's happened?" He repeated.

Demyx giggled nervously, "Don't get mad but eh," there was slight pause then Demyx said, "SoraaccidentallytransformedtaschoolandRikusawthenlaterRikupissedofRoxasandhetriedtoeatRikubutwemanagedtocalmRoxdownandnowRikuandAxelknowwharweare!"

If Leon had not been a werewolf he would have closed his eyes pinched the bridge of his nose and said 'pardon?' but seeing as he was he heard and understood every word. He sighed and pinched the bridge of his nose.

"You're mad aren't you?"

"No." Answered Leon.

"You are, you always go calm and collected when you're mad, it's scarier than dad." Demyx sounded worn out.

"Is Roxas ok?"

Demyx paused then carried on, "Yeah he's ok, and he's been a bit quiet though, probably remembering what happened."

Leon ran his hand through his hair, sighing again. "How did Zexion's friend react?"

"Surprisingly well, first thing Axel asked was if a play bone would be a good Christmas present." Demyx laughed and despite himself Leon chuckled.

"So they wont tell?"

"No I made them make a blood promise not to tell, though I think Riku is still a bit freaked out." Demyx said. Cloud walked out the bathroom with a serious look on his face, he motioned for Leon to hand him the phone. "You dad wants to speak to you." Leon heard Demyx squeak slightly. He passed over the phone. Cloud spoke, "Demyx" he said simply. Leon could hear the scared apologies and promises they never ment this to happen and please don't hurt him cause it was all Sora and Roxas's fault, he heard a shout of traitor that sounded like Roxas. Throughout the babble Cloud stood saying nothing, when Demyx had finished speaking Cloud spoke again, "I'm not mad, a little annoyed but we'll talk when Leon and I return, I'll need to speak to Riku and Axel alone too when we get back."

Demyx said "Ok."

Cloud sighed and tousled his wet hair, "Don't make any more of a mess that's been made and we can sort it out, I'll phone in a few days to check up on you guys ok?"

"Ok dad."

"Give my love to Roxas and Sora, and good night Demyx."

"Sure thing, G'night Dad."

Cloud snapped his phone shut, threw it on the bedside table and sat down next to Leon, resting his head on his partners shoulder.

"Kids." He said.

Leon rubbed Clouds arm and kissed his temple, "Don't worry, they're teenagers and we've all made mistakes, it's how we learn."

Cloud nodded his head slightly; he turned his head to kiss Leon. Leon chuckled, he stood up and pulled his t-shirt off and padded over to the bathroom, "I wont be long." He closed the door, leaving Cloud sitting on the bed with a small smile on his face, why were the unexpected things in life the things he knew to expect?

Demyx had snapped his phone shut and mere seconds later barely dodged a roundhouse kick to the head from Roxas, he preceded to run away giggling madly as the twins chased him around the back yard, shouting insults and threats of mutilation. Zexion, Axel and Riku watched from the decking, seated quite comfortably. Riku spoke first, "So how long have you known about them?" The question was directed at Zexion, "About a year, I met Demyx at school through Sora, he wouldn't leave me alone kept trying to make conversation."

"Ah his first mistake." Chuckled Axel. Zexion kicked his shin. He carried on ignoring Axel moaning in pain next to him.

"Well he wormed his way into my life by beating Seifer to a bloody pulp after he had dumped one of my books in a puddle, sort of just started to hang around with him more, his moods are infectious, I had been coming round here for a few months, I knew all his family and resident 'pets'." He smiled slightly. "Then one day I was invited round for dinner, by that time me and Demyx were in the beginning of our relationship, I was here early and I heard Demyx arguing with Cloud, Cloud was saying he needed to break this fling off before his family got hurt, Demyx panicked, next thing I knew I could hear ripping sounds and Nocturne came racing out the house."

Axel cocked his head to the side, "Would I be right in guessing Nocturne is Demyxs wer name?"

Zexion nodded, "Yes, well he came running out the house and barrelled straight into me, knocked me over, I remember sitting absolutely still, Nocturne seemed to recognise me and next thing I knew I had a crying dog lying on me. Talk about confused, you wouldn't believe the shock I felt when I watched this huge dog turn back into Demyx, who was still crying on my lap," He was interrupted by a cheerful voice, "Quite naked wasn't I, I remember your face going all red, would have been funny if my entire family wasn't standing watching the scene, course dad took Zexion aside whilst I was getting dressed and gave him the you must never tell anyone this secret speech." Demyx had sat down next to Zexion with bruises beginning to show up on his arms and a shiner on his cheek, Zexion rolled his eyes and held Demyxs hand.

Axel whistled, "So that's what you ment when you said circumstances changed, wow." He grinned at Roxas, waggling his eyebrows, Roxas scowled at him then cocked his head to the side listening for something, "Pizzas here" he stated. Sure enough a minute later they heard the door bell ring and they watched as Sora tore off round the side of the house, he came back 5 minutes later holding 6 pizza boxes in hand and passed out the orders. They all sat comfortably eating until Sora asked, "So Dem, what did dad say when you explained everything?"

Demyx swallowed the pizza he had been chewing, "He seemed pretty calm about the whole thing, which is kinda scary, he said not to get into any more trouble and he'll be phoning back in a few days, could've gone worse."

Roxas sighed, "But you forget Dem, dad always seems calm when he's real pissed, he goes quieter that Leon."

Riku spoke up next, "So when they get back me and Axel will get the keep the secret speech yeah?"

Sora and Roxas looked at each other, Axel noticed the worry in their exchange.

"What's with the scared look?" He asked.

"Well, there are very few humans who know about us and eh any who do have to be represented to the pack council, they accepted Zexion cause they could tell he was no danger, it all depends if they accept you guys too, we'll know when they get back, since they're there they'll probably present the case to the council." Sora finished his speech and carried on eating his pizza, his expression weary. Zexion looked to Demyx.

"I didn't know that happened, what have been done if they hadn't accepted me?"

The three brothers looked at each other, wary of what to say, Roxas spoke, "Well its really rare they don't trust a human, cause its rare any find out but, if they don't trust you then they'll have to wipe your memories and if that doesn't work they em get rid of you."

Axel and Riku looked at each other, Riku hesitated, "Wipe our memories, how?"

"Don't know, only council members know how, it works depending on how strong your mind is I guess, last resort is to make you disappear, they don't like having to do that, makes too much trouble." Demyx answered, "But you guys will be fine, Dad and Leon wont let them do that, its just wrong to hurt a pack brother that way, the pain hurts us all in he end."

Axel looked at Demyx, "Through the weird mind link you have going on?"

Demyx nodded.

They continued to eat, changing the subject and within minutes they were all laughing and smiling at whatever stupid thing Demyx had said.

A tall figure stood in the trees watching a house in the distance, his enhanced hearing picking up the conversation and he could smell the greasy pizza, he wrinkled his nose in disgust. There were only three out of the family of eight and three humans, disgusting creatures. Lucky for him his primary target was home he'd have to wait for the second one to resurface, he growled as a second figure walked up behind him and stopped just short of standing next to him,

"Is he there?" The first figure asked.

"Yes."

"And the girl?"

"Missing, though according the Xaldins information away with an aunt, heat season."

The first Figure nodded, "Good, we'll wait for her to return, easier to recruit them together at once, they'd be on guard if one went missing first."

"Do we need the girl?" the second figure asked.

"She has an ability of sight I've never seen, she would be very useful to us."

The second figure nodded, he hesitated the spoke, "The pack council is wary, do you think they know?"

"They know what I'm capable of, but they don't know what I'm doing, I would like it to stay that way, inform Xigbar to stop drawing attention, he'll ruin the plan."

"Yes sir, and Vexen has made a break through with one of his experiments."

The first figure turned slightly, "Which one."

"The serum to force a wer to change back to human form forcibly, he has also made a sister serum to force them to change to wer form."

The first figure smirk evilly, "Good, good, what of our gambling friend?"

"He's threatening us again, wants out of his cage." The second figure bared his teeth slightly, "His escape attempts are getting bolder, shouldn't we erase him soon?"

"No," the first figure said sharply, "He has information none of us have, we need him alive."

"Yes sir."

"We'll be returning to base tonight, we can't do much else here for now, tell Lexeaus to keep tabs on the Strife residence and tell him to report back when the girl has returned home."

"Yes sir."

The second figure disappeared into the forest behind him, leaving the first man to stare at the house,

"We'll see whose stronger Sephiroth, we'll see how strong you are soon enough." The man disappeared into the trees; a soft breeze blew across the fields. In the distance the six people out side the house stood and walked through to open French doors. The surrounding fields were silent and still.

Demyx, Sora and Roxas had gone out for a late night run while the three humans slept, Zexion was sharing Demyxs room whilst Axel and Riku where on the sofa bed in the living room.

Roxas lay on the grass in the field, enjoying the feel of the breeze through his fur and the quiet night. Until Demyx leapt on him and a wrestling match ensued, they could hear Sora snicker some where behind them.

-Feel like chasing him for a while.- Demyx said, jerking his head in Soras direction. Roxas gave a wolfish grin and said –Hell yeah!-

The leapt up and bolted towards Sora whose eyes grew large, he quickly ran in the opposite direction. The two blondes chased their brunette brother for a good forty five minutes before he gave up and fell to the ground panting heavily, -Fine, you guys win, I'm wiped,- he got up and stared at his brothers, -I'm going to bed, ok?-

Roxas rolled his eyes, -Aw Sora, your no fun!-

Sora snorted and loped off towards the house.

-I'm gonna turn in too Rox, you staying out or coming in?- Demyx nuzzled his brothers ear, Roxas growled and sped off further out into the field, -I'm going to stay out a little longer.-

-Ok, just don't complain when you're too tired tomorrow!-

Demyx heard Roxas bark in the distance and loped after Sora in the direction of the house.

Roxas felt the links of his brother's minds mute as they changed back and Roxas was as left, head to himself as he ran laps in the field. He ran for a further half an hour the decided to return to the house. As he vaulted the fence he saw Axel sitting on the decking, smoking. Roxas growled lightly as the smoke was blown in his direction, he shook his great head and snorted. He glared at Axel as the boy stubbed out his cigarette on a pizza box.

"Sorry Rox, just needed to calm down after everything today." He smiled at the great wolf/dog that was standing next to him; Roxas head butted his shoulder in a reprimanding way.

"Don't worry I'm cutting down." Axel laughed quietly. Roxas made a noise in his throat. Axel reached forward and scratched the fur under Roxas's jaw, even now he could see slight purpling of the skin under the blonde fur, he smirked. Pity wer were fast healers, the hickeys had begun to die down half an hour after he put them there. Roxas growled happily, he wouldn't admit it but he loved the way Axel's fingers felt against his skin. He whined slightly as the fingers stilled on his neck, he looked at Axel who was smiling softly at him. Axel could have sworn he saw the wolfs muzzle go pink.

"After Sora came back Riku went upstairs to join him, so unless you want to share a room with the love birds your down here with me kid." Axel grinned, Roxas rolled his eyes, he groaned, how was he supposed to get his clothes,

Axel answered this thought, "Sora came down a little while ago and left you some clothes." Roxas moved towards the doors to the living room then stopped, he looked over his shoulder at Axel,

"Don't worry I wont peek." Axel teased him. Roxas gave a short threatening growl and disappeared into the house. Axel sat in his boxers and t-shirt on the decking waiting for Roxas to tell him it was all clear, he studied the stars for a bit then heard a voice from the house.

"You can come in now, it's gonna get chilly out here soon." Axel turned to see a topless Roxas in only a pair of cotton sweat pants leaning on the doorframe he tried not to drool. He stood up and walked to Roxas who never broke eye contact with the taller boy. When Axel was directly in front of him he brought a hand up and ran his fingers through the blonde hair on the back of Roxas's head and leaned down, bringing his lips to Roxas's.

He felt Roxas lean up and wrap his arms round his shoulders and in turn Axel put an arm round Roxas's waist bringing them closer. The kiss itself started out slow and gentle then Axel swiped his tongue over the other boys bottom lip, Roxas opened his mouth in reaction, but moaned quietly as Axel took his bottom lip between his teeth and nibbled and sucked gently, he kissed the bottom lip the thrust his tongue in Roxas's mouth, seeking out the other tongue he rubbed his own over it sensually. He groaned when Roxas copied the motion, they battled for dominance for a while, a fight which Axel won. They parted slowly and Axel pressed his forehead to Roxas's, he grinned as he looked into the cerulean orbs. Roxas pulled away and walked, over to the sofa bed and climbed in under the covers, Axel followed suit. When he lay down he rolled over to face Roxas who was flat on his back staring at the ceiling. Axel's hand ran over the smooth expanse of slightly tanned chest, he drew shapes on it lazily before playing with one of the pink nubs. Roxas's breath hitched, he turned to Axel, rolling over onto his side, stopping Axel's motions. He growled playfully, Roxas rolled his eyes.

"Is that all you think about?" He asked.

Axel tapped a finger to his lips feigning thought, "Could be." He grinned at the blonde boy. Roxas sighed. He scooted over and leaned his head on Axel's chest.

"Talk about one track mind, there are other things more important than that Axel."

Axel pouted as he wrapped his arms around Roxas,

"Not when your around Rox, its quite hard to think about anything else when you're around."

Roxas punched the red heads chest lightly, "Shut up idiot." He didn't know whether to take it as a compliment or not. "Your so annoying." He snuggled against the red heads chest and sighed, he could feel sleep taking over his brain.

"You don't seem to mind me right now."

"Its cause your being quiet righ now." He felt Roxas yawn and he chuckled. He jumped when he felt cold toes pressed against his calf. He stayed still as Roxas went limp in his arms as sleep took the blonde boy, Axel could feel himself beginning to fall asleep too, he curled round Roxas a bit more and closed his eyes, he felt small breaths tickle his chest as Roxas snored quietly, 'Today' Axel thought, "had been a loooong day, but it had had it's high lights."
