Jeez 2 Months Umm Imma Sorry :( However I Hope You Like This Chapter.
Riku couldn't get over the amount of people who had came in order to try and get Sora away from these monsters. He smiled to himself as he watched everyone making, what looked like final preparations. He saw Kairi standing in the corner beside Roxas, Namine and Hayner but before he could go and see her, he noticed someone in the background whom he hadn't seen in years.
"Riku, you ready for this. You know me or Cloud aren't....." Squall's sentence was interrupted when someone stormed up to him and Riku and slapped the younger vampire in the face. Squall looked in horror to see Sora's older sister and his former classmate Selphie glaring at his little brother.
"Sel, that was uncalled for. Hi Squall, missed me?" Squall ignored Irvine's comment and tried to stop the staring war that was going on between Selphine and Riku.
"This is your fault. All of this is your fault because you couldn't protect him and now look what's happened to him." Squall ended up standing in between the two but he stood so he was facing Selphie. Zell and Irvine could see the look of fury on Squall's face but then again Selphie had just slapped his little brother in the face. Squall was ready to start shouting at Selphie before Rikku bounced over to them and looked at her big brother's watcher before looking at Riku.
"Its time to go in" Squall growled and walked away from Selphie with Squall at his side.
"You okay?" Squall looked down at Riku who just looked as if he was going to explode. He walked up to Rikku, Roxas, Kairi and Namine who where waiting to go in.
"I'm fine" Rikku looked around and stuck her hand up in the air.
"Lets go" Everyone started to advance into the cave and Squall watched as his little brother disappeared from view. Squall looked around to see everyone going backwards to a point about half a mile away where they agreed they would stay until they came out. Squall sighed and damned himself for being so attached to his little brother.
Flashback
"You've not left the side of the cot for 3 days, Squall" Squall looked up at his 'father' who was smirking down at him. Three days ago, Sephiroth brought his biological son him away from his pathetic human mother. Squall loved Riku from the moment he saw him and wanted to protect him from everything in the world. The fragile little thing was only a month old and Squall alreday knew that he was a vampire. The unbelievably pale and cold skin told him that.
"Sorry" Squall whispered. Sephiroth let out a small laugh and watched as Squall went to pick Riku up. The brunette was like a mother to Riku in the way he was acting. Suddenly the door went and Sephiroth silver haired vampire turned away and went down stairs to answer it. Squall looked down at the baby in his arms and smiled. It was his little brother, someone that he would love and protect for the rest of his life. Squall heard someone ascending up the stairs but their was three people instead of just one. Squall began to feel threatened and clutched Riku tighter. At the door was Sephiroth with a raven haired male and a blond male. Squall started to bare his teeth at the intruders who look shocked by the behavior.
"This is Squall. He was dying when I found him. I couldn't leave him, Zack. The child is my real son, Riku" Squall's eyes widened. This was Zack, the man that had left Sephiroth 100 years ago. Squall continued to snarl and backed up until he was in a corner. "Squall, no one is going to hurt Riku. You can relax" This seemed to calm the brunette. Squall sighed and looked down at the child in his arms again. He wonder if he'd always be like this with Riku. Probably
End Flashback.
Squall ran a shaky hand through his hair as he arrived at the meeting point. He was still the same as he was 16 years ago.
If living in a cave was supposed to stop people from being scared of insect, it didn't seem to work like that for Rikku. Everytime she saw a creepy crawly she started to shriek in terror and she lived in a cave herself. Kairi, Riku, Roxas and Namine just kept walking in order to find Sora. Rikku was only with them because she knew he way around these caves and they did not. Half of the people that came were outside in order to watch in case anything happened. Riku hadn't said anything the entire time that they had been in the cave but no one could blame him. All he wanted was to get Sora and leave but the chance of this going smoothly weren't good.
"Rikku can you shut the hell up for a moment because if you want werewolves trying to eat you, that's fine but I want to get Sora and then I want to run so shut it" The blond siren sighed. 45 minutes of trekking around a cave was taking its toll on the vampire.
"This is it" Rikku pressed her hand against the wall that was in front of her. Riku pushed passed Kairi, Namine and Roxas so that he was directly at the wall. He started to kick the wall and after only a few strikes, cracks were starting to appear in the wall until it finally shattered. Riku almost ran into the room to see Sora sitting on his knees with his clothes hanging off of him. He was sitting in front of a crystal that seemed to be growing out of the wall.
"Oh my god. Someone is in there?" Kairi gasped. Sora seemed to respond to Kairi's voice as he turned around and looked at them closely. Namine looked at Sora's face and gasped. She his her face in Roxas's shoulder because she refused to believe that boy in front of her was Sora. His skin was so pale, his usually bright blue eyes looked so dull and lifeless and he looked a lot thinner in just one week. Sora tried to stand up but he fell backwards however lucky for him, Riku managed to rushed around and caught him.
"I'm so sorry, Sora" Riku whispered into his ear. The sliver haired vampire wrapped his arms around his best friend as he turned around.
"They don't seem to be moving" Zack whined in Sephiroth's ear. The raven haired vampire was starting to get restless as was everyone around them. Cloud and Squall were too worried about their little brother to think about anything else. Vaan was in the same state while Zell and Hayner seemed to have no worries about Rikku. As for Kairi, who knew if Marluxia knew that his little sister was going into a cave which she might not return alive from. Selphie was being held back by Irvine to stop her from running and trying to find her little brother on her own. Zack sighed and stood up, he looked down at Sephiroth and smiled. "I'm going in. Cloud, Squall fancy going on a trip?" Zack grinned as Cloud and Squall walked up to him. Sephiroth stood up and place a small kiss to Zack's lips before the small of the two started to walk off.
"All of you, be careful" Zack raised his hand up as he walked away from Sephiroth with Cloud and Squall following at the back of him.
"Naturally" Zack wandered into the caves and started to follow the scent of everyone else that wasn't a werewolf. Cloud and Squall felt physically sick as the overwhelmed stench in the caves. Being in the presence of Sora or maybe Tidus outside was okay but this was absolutely disgusting.
"If I could eat I would be spewing my guts out, right about now" Cloud smirked as did Zack as they continued to follow the scent of Riku and the others. It didn't take long for Zack and the others to find them because the trail had alreday been made. The first thing Zack saw was Sora shouting at Riku about something.
"I'm not leaving her" Zack raised his eyebrows at the quarreling two and was about ask who 'her' was but then his eyes caught sight of the large crystal that seemed to be growing out of the wall. Zack's eyes widened in an instant.
"Move back all of you" Everyone just looked at Zack before listening to him. The moment everyone was out of the way, Zack took his sword and slashed across the crystal which caused it to completely shatter into a thousand different parts. The body that was inside gracefully fell into Zack's arms who turned around and looked at everyone. "Rikku, Roxas, Namine and Kairi. Go back as fast as you can because I have a feeling that this is going to get nasty. GO" Although Zack was usually the type not to get serious and all, he was known to be pretty serious when he wanted to be. The three girl and Roxas ran out of the chamber while Zack, Squall, Cloud and Riku with Sora's body started to leave the chamber as quick as possible but it was a little hard when both Zack and Riku were holding people up.
" Ugh, my head is killing me" Zack looked down at the woman in his arms. "Oh my lord. Zack" The sounded happy to see Zack so she obviously knew him. Cloud and Squall were about as clueless as Riku was. Sora was in Riku's arms whimpering softly as he slid in and out of sleep. "How is my son. Zack, please tell me he is alright?" Zack grinned like an idiot as usual.
"He's fine. He's actually outside the cave" Zack stopped for a moment and listened closely for a moment before he place the woman on the ground and looked back at Cloud. "Cloud, take Sora from Riku and get out of here." Zack turned back to the woman who was standing in front of him. "Go, go with Cloud" She nodded and as soon as Sora was in Cloud's arms, they were on their way.
Roxas, Namine, Kairi and Rikku sighed as they came out of the cave and started to run the half-a-mile it was to get to where everyone was gathered. Once they reached the place, Namine ran over into Vaan's arms while Roxas just casually walked over to them. Rikku walked over to Yuna, Paine, Zell and Seifer. Hayner was sitting on a tree looking down at his big sister. Sephiroth stood up and walked over to Kairi who was pacing around nervously
"Well?" The redhead looked up at Sephiroth who's concern was visible in his eyes.
"Zack told us four to head back after he came in and they took Sora. However there was this crystal in the chamber where Sora was. A woman was trapped inside the crystal and Zack seemed to recognize her so he shattered the crystal and broke her out. I didn't know who she was but she seemed really young and she was very pretty" Sephiroth looked at her and raised his eyebrows. However the look of desperation in Sephiroth's eyes just seemed to worsen. Everything raced through Sephiroth's mind. The first thing that came back to him was the memory of him first meeting
Flashback
Sephiroth sighed to himself as he walked through the dark forest surrounding his manor. His mother and father were too busy discussing their plans to move away from the island to notice that Sephiroth was still alone. He was almost 150 years old which was still young in vampire terms but he didn't have a mate. As every day went passed, the silver haired vampire became weaker and it would be like this until he either found a mate or he dies. Suddenly Sephiroth heard shouting and screaming and he started to walk closer to the noise. However before he even reached the noise, a mid-height teenager came running towards him and clung to his arm.
"Please, pretend you know me. Please I beg of you" Sephiroth looked down at the shaking teenager that clung to his arm. Green eyes widened in shock as he came face to face with the most beautiful creature he had ever met. He had spiky black hair and the most beautiful blue eyes he had ever seen. He was about to ask the beautiful male why he had to pretend to know him when three large men came out of the trees. Sephiroth looked back down at the teen who started to whimper.
"Oh look little boy Fair has a lover. How disgusting" Sephiroth raised an eyebrow at the men as they started to walk forward. "Move aside, we have some business to attend to" One of the men went to punch Sephiroth but he missed and Sephiroth got a chance to grab his neck and break it with ease. The other two men looked at him in horror before screaming and running off. The boy that had hid behind him was currently backing away from him. He was looking at the body that was on the ground.
"Y-you k-k-killed him" The boy looked up at him in horror. Sephiroth shrugged and turned away from the boy and started to walk away. "What are you?" This made stop in his tracks. Sephiroth turned around to look at the boy who still had a terror struck look on his face. "Are you even human?" The vampire sighed and looked at the boy.
"No, kid. No I'm not." Sephiroth watched as the boy's face paled.
"Are you...a...vampire" Sephiroth's eyes widened as the boy lowered his head. Sephiroth walked over to the boy and looked down at him. He was a good few inches taller than the raven haired boy even if he was cowering at the side.
"What's your name, kid" The boy looked up at Sephiroth in confusion but answered the question anyways.
"Zack Fair and I'm not a kid. I'm 18" Sephiroth chuckled at the small spark of defiance in the teenager's eyes but is disappeared and was replaced with terror. "Are you going to kill me" Zack whispered. Sephiroth looked at him and raised an eyebrow.
"If I was, I wouldn't have asked your name and I would have killed you when I killed him. I broke his neck so none of his blood was spilled. I didn't want to frighten you. " Zack looked up in amazement at Sephiroth.
"So you are a vampire?" Sephiroth nodded his head and the boy looked amazed. Sephiroth sighed before turning away from the teenager and walking away. The silver haired vampire ignored the gasp that came from the teen as he walked away. "Will I ever see you again?" Sephiroth turned around in shock to look at the man. No -no not man- he was still just a child in Sephiroth's eyes. He was merely just a little boy.
"You wish to see me again?" Zack raised his eyebrows and gave Sephiroth a look that said 'are you seriously that stupid'. Sephiroth held back the urge to laugh at the face that the boy was pulling.
"Well I'm assuming yes since I asked if I would see you again" This time Sephiroth let out a chuckle which Zack seemed surprised about.
"Yes. If you wish to see me again I shall happily meet you somewhere after sundown but allow me a question. Why?" Zack seemed to ponder this for a moment before answering.
"When I was growing up, my dad was always away because he's in the army but my mother didn't want me hearing any of the horror stories about the wars that he went to so she told me legends of vampires and werewolves. I loved them because my mother was such a great story teller and she still told me about them when I was 15 years old" Zack smiled but it was quickly wiped off of his face. "But then she died, just before my 16th birthday. After that my dad quit the army even through I told him not to. My dad is only 38 because he was 20 when I was born so I have a pretty young dad. Anyways I better go or he'll kill me. So would you meet me here tomorrow night" Sephiroth was going over what Zack had told him in his head as he looked at the teenager.
"I shall meet you here tomorrow when the sun goes down" Sephiroth smirked at the boy before he turned to walk off.
"Wait. You never told me your name" Sephiroth turned his head to look back at Zack.
"Sephiroth" The silver haired vampire walked off leaving the teenager in the forest by himself.
End Flashback
Sephiroth was brought out of his reminiscing period by a loud shriek. Sephiroth turned to see Cloud walking in with Sora's body safely in his arms. Sephiroth walked up to his adopted son with the intention of finding out where Zack, Squall and Riku where but his whole body froze when he saw a woman following close to Cloud. His life seemed to flash before his eyes before he actually managed to say something.
"M-mother" The woman turned around to look at Sephiroth before she ran over to him and embraced her only child. "I thought you were dead. Father and I spent years think you were dead" Selphie ran over to Cloud and lifted her little brother out of the blond's hold. Cloud watched as Sephiroth was embraced by his mother and turned to patiently wait on the rest of them.
"Zack found me but he stayed inside with this sliver haired little boy and a brunette boy" Sephiroth smirked a little but it was wiped off his face when he saw Zack stumbling towards them with his hand covering his face. Sephiroth could smell the blood that was dripping from his face. Sephiroth walked over to his mate and look at his with despair in his eyes.
"Sephiroth, S-squall and Riku are still in the cave. Seph, you have to get them out" Zack removed his hand from his face and everyone gasped in horror as the blood dripped down from Zack's eye and down his cheek. Cloud gasped and ran towards the entrance in fear that Squall and his little brother were seriously injured. Sephiroth watched as his adopted son ran off in search of Squall and Riku. Sephiroth turned around and looked at everyone else.
"Go. We shall deal with the rest of this. Kairi, I may need you" Sephiroth turned to follow Cloud with his mother and Kairi when Sora ran over to Kairi.
"I wanna go. I'm not leave if Riku's hurt. I'm not, I'm not, I'm not" Sora clung to the back of Kairi's jumpers. Selphie stood forward and looked at her little brother.
"Sora, you can't go" Sora just smiled at Selphie.
"I'm okay but Riku might but hurt and its my fault" Before Selphie could even try to stop Sora, he had disappeared back into the forest. Sora stood as close to Kairi as he possibly could. The close they got to the entrance to the cave, the more Sora could hear some strange noises. Soon those noises turned into sobs. Someone was in the forest crying, but who?. By the time Sora and everyone else arrived at the entrance of the cave, the sobbing and the person who was actually sobbing were in full view.
"Squall?" Cloud ran up to Squall who was leaning over a body.
No. It wasn't just anybody. It was Riku's body that Squall was leaning over. Cloud had tried to get close to Squall but the brunette just turned and snarled at Cloud as if he didn't know who he was. Squall's eyes were like Riku's from that time when he was drinking Kairi's blood. Sephiroth stepped forward and place his hand on Squall's shoulder.
"No one is going to hurt Riku, Squall. The only one that will hurt him is you if you continue to act like this. We've been over this before" It was just like last time when Zack and Cloud came to back-well Zack came back Cloud didn't- to Sephiroth. Squall wouldn't let any of the two near Riku at all. The brunette slowly shuffled away from the body that rested on the floor. Kairi and Sora quickly rushed to Riku's side. Zack wanted to be sick at the blood that covered Riku's body. Due to everyone -every vampire- being so close to Riku, it was impossible to find the scent of his blood attractive due to the parent bond he has with Zack and Sephiroth and the brotherly bond he has with Squall and Cloud. Although he had never seen Lucrencia before, due to her being a direct relative of his, Riku's blood did not effect her either. Sephiroth dropped to his knees and lifted Riku up slightly so that his torso was resting on Sephiroth's knee and his head was being cradled by his father's hands. "Riku?" Sora and Kairi had never seen Sephiroth being so compassionate before.
"Ngnnn.....ughh.....S-Sora" Riku whispered. Everyone could here the agony in Riku's voice as Sora shuffled up so that he was right at Riku's side. Riku could just see Sora and the vampire seemed rather relived. "G-glad y-y-your okay. Just don't s-start crying....." Riku let out a loud sigh as his eyes slid shut.
"Riku, Riku wake up" Sora whined and looked at Riku's calm face. He couldn' be...no Sora refused to believe that Riku was dead. He was a vampire. Vampires didn't die. The teen started to scream but it wasn't going to bring Riku back.
NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO. Riku Dead ? -Sobs-
Anyways I Have Realized Two Things. Werewolves Like Ripping Holes In People's Stomachs And Most Of The People In This Story Suffer From Over Protective Sibling Syndrome. Yes Lucrencia Crescent Is Sephiroth Biological Mother In FFVII NOT Jenova.
