A.N. Sorry this chapter is a bit late. I got caught up at school. And for those wondering, no, the entire Organization won't be making an appearance, just a few members.

Warning: This chapter contains implied torture, violence, and vampire sex.

Pairings: Ultimately Akuroku, Soriku, Zemyx (thanks to Dualism), Marxene (Marluxia and Larxene courtesy of ShadowAili) and Marluxia and Namine.

Disclaimer: I do not own Kingdom Hearts, Kindgdom Hearts 2 or anything associated. They all belong to Square Enix. As does Final Fantasy.

Axel strode through the halls of the residence of one of his fellow vampires. Though the redhead owned his own house, he hated to be alone and so generally slept at the houses of his allies, except when he had a new toy to play with, or when he wanted to break the routine with an older one. He never tired of surprising them in the middle of an escape attempt. It made following torment so much more enjoyable.

Lost in thought, Axel didn't notice the noise echoing down the hallway, and so stepped into the library and was quite surprised to find a blond with blue-green eyes writhing on the floor under a slate-haired vampire, both of them panting and breathing heavily.

Studiously averting his eyes from the naked lovers, Axel walked over to the opposite side of the library, ignoring the grunting and moaning behind him. Picking a book from the shelf, he turned around and headed back across the room, again ignoring the two males entwined on the floor. As he left the room a smirk slowly spread across his face.

"By the way, Demyx, Zexion," he laughed, voice echoing through the white hallway, "If you'd like to maintain your privacy I would advise locking the door next time. That wasn't something I particularly needed to see."

Chuckling at the chaos behind him as they realized that he'd seen them, Axel headed down the corridor, back towards his room. Hopefully the book he'd chosen could explain enough about humans that he could pull off this trick, because if it succeeded it would make his new prey a lot easier to catch.

Deciding to surprise his current plaything, he stepped into one of the few shadows in the house, dissolving and then reforming miles away in his own house. Walking over to the locked door of his captives room, he began to slowly walk through the cast-iron door, fingering a knife hidden in his sleeve. If he listened hard enough, he could almost hear the gore-caked metal calling out for more blood.

Smirking, Axel emerged into the dark room, snapping his fingers and calling a flame into life.

"Why hello Seifer," he called, the obvious terror of the blond lying on the floor filling him with a sadistic pleasure. Pulling out the knife, his smile widened as he watched his captive squirm. "It's been a while hasn't it?"

Roxas walked out of his science class, flinching as the movements pulled on the large shallow cut down the side of his torso, last nights reminder of his fathers displeasure. Pushing his way through the crowd of students, he headed off to find his best friend, and half-brother, Sora.

Out of the building, in the school gardens, he was surprised to see the normally shy Namine, a girl in his Art class, talking animatedly to an older man with hair that seemed to be a subdued pink.

As Roxas hurried off to find Sora, and Namine left to find her friends, the pink-haired man smiled and looked on as Roxas vanished into the crowd.

"So," he smirked, "That was Axel's new pet."

Chuckling softly he walked over to one of the ornamental cherry trees in the courtyard and, standing in the shade, snapped his fingers. For a moment he was obscured by a hail of pink flowers, and when they cleared, he was gone.

As Roxas began looking around the gardens, a brown blur shot out of nowhere and crashed into his chest. As Roxas tried to hold in a gasp of pain, his half-brother, Sora, smiled at him from the death-grip the brunette had on his chest.

"Hi Rox," Sora said loudly, "How was your day? We just had English and Riku got in trouble, because Mr. Strife was quizzing us on the novel we're studying, and Riku's been busy with sport, and he didn't have time to read it, and so he got in trouble."

As Sora continued to ramble on Roxas stood there in shock, with no idea how Sora was able to talk so much without fainting from lack of air. Despite the fact his hyper brother did this to him almost every day, Roxas had never gotten used to it.

As his death-grip crushed the air out of his brothers lungs, Sora babbled on until, he finally noticed Roxas's lack of response and immediately demanded, worriedly,

"What's wrong Rox? Are you sick? Oh my god you're sick, quickly, someone call the ambulance!" Hugging Roxas tighter, Sora looked like he was about to cry, and his bottom lip began to quiver.

"Sora," a voice said, "Perhaps he's having breathing problems?"

As Sora turned to look quizzically at the silver-haired teen who had spoken, Riku sighed and elaborated.

"You know, because you're choking him. And you're ranting. And generally the amount of thought required to understand your rants puts people in comas."

Slowly, comprehension dawned across Sora's face and he immediately let go of Roxas and started apologising as Riku sighed wearily. Just another average day dealing with the hyper brunette.

Smirking Axel looked down at Seifer, the burns and cuts all over his tanned skin only making him more beautiful in the vampire's eyes.

Stretching out an arm and draping it around the blond, Axel began to laugh as a hiss of pain told him that he'd found one of the injuries he'd already caused.

"So," he said, as he dragged a long fingernail down Seifer's chest, leaving a crimson trail of blood behind, "It seems that soon you will be joined by a new toy of mine."

His smirk widening as the blond flinched in shock, Axel pulled Seifer closer.

"And to answer the question I'm sure you're thinking," the vampire chuckled, "yes, he will be joining in with my little games. The only question is whether you will learn from me and join in playing with him until he's broken beyond repair," and a trace of the stubbornness that Axel had beaten out of the blond returned to his face, "Or become a…tool, if you will, an aid to teaching him to inflict pain. It's your choice."

As he felt his captives heartbeat begin to race, the vampire began to laugh, tightening his grip as the blond started trying to escape. Grabbing Seifer's dirty-blond hair, Axel pulled his head up, forcing his captive to look him in the face.

"You'd better decide quickly though," the vampire warned Seifer, "Because if you haven't made up your mind before he arrives, which will likely be within a week, then I'll be making the choice for you. In his favour."

His captive spat in his face, and snarled,

"I'd rather die!"

At Seifer's defiance, a cruel gleam began to shine in Axel's cat-like eyes.

"As you wish," he murmured.

Then, he reached out, grabbed the top of his captive's head and twisted.

A loud pop echoed through the silent house.

He smirked.

"Goodbye," he murmured, "Seifer."

Well, I'm sure that ending was surprising. Thank you to all those that have reviewed, and all those that have read this, and those who have faved this. The response to this has been way beyond what I expected and I just want to say again, thank you. From the bottom of my heart.

The next chapter might not be out for a while, as I have an entry to a competition (first prize worth nearly $500) to finish.

Next Chapter: Sora gets told about Axel, Demyx is properly introduced and Sephiroth gets a brief cameo.
