Chapter Six

Sora seemed more relaxed then before. He had a small smile on his face. Riku turned around and looked at Sephiroth. He frowned when he saw how shaken up he looked. "Who was that?"

"I can't say anything…I have to go…I have to go check on other patients…." Sephiroth stumbled out of the room and Riku actually looked worried.

"I have never seen him like that before…" Riku said then looked down when a hand took his. He relaxed and held onto the hand gently. "What do we do now?"

"Wait for him to wake up I guess. Not too much we can do." Roxas sighed then looked up at Axel.

"I'm worried that things aren't going to go well for us…I'm scared…I don't want everything to have to rely on Sora. He's been through so much already…"

"We have to have faith in him. We have to just take this a day at a time." Sora's eyes slowly opened as he listened to their words. He didn't have a clue as to what they were talking about. His forehead felt hot for osme reason. Slowly he moved his hand to his forehead and touched where the black haired man had kissed him.

"How are you feeling now Sora?" Riku asked as he looked down at Sora.

"My head isn't hurting as bad as it did earlier…" Riku nodded then smiled.

"That's good to hear. Now I guess I should let you know that you'll be staying at my house with Roxas."

"I don't want to incontinence you," Sora said as he sat up. "I can figure something out." Riku quickly shook his head.

"No no. I don't mind it. And you are not going to inconvenience us. This was all our idea. Cloud will even agree this is for the best."

"Where is my Uncle? Did he leave?"

"Yeah. He got into a fight with my father and left. He seemed really upset so my dad sent him home before he could take it out on us. We don't deserve it. That's for sure." Sora nodded then slowly went to stand up. "Where are you going?"

"I want to take a walk. I'm tired of just sitting there. Maybe take a walk in the near by garden…"

"Sora how about you just stay in here for a little while longer?"

"No Roxas. I'm completely fine. I want to take a walk."

"Sora…"

"Enough!" Sora yelled as his hands balled up into fists. "Everyone keeps babying me! I want to take a break! I want to take a walk! Leave me the fuck alone!" Sora ran out of the room before anyone could say anything else. Sora didn't stop running until he was outside on the side of the building. He took a deep breath before sliding down against the building. He felt like he was suffocating. He needed to be alone. He pulled his legs to his chest then held them tight as he sniffled. "They should worry more about themselves…I hate this…"

"What are you doing?" a soft voice asked and he immediately looked up. He blinked when he saw the ghostly Aqua bending down over him.

"Aqua…" he said then sniffled again.

"Don't cry Sora," she said softly then sat down next to him. "I know this is hard but you have to do this. Its always so hard for you in the beginning. Letting other people take care of you instead of just taking care of them. Sora nodded then hid his face in his knees. "Come on Sora…"

"I just need some time alone…"

"Sora…" Cloud said softly as he walked over to the boy. Sora looked up and saw that Aqua was no where to be found. "What's wrong Sora…"

"Leave me alone…" Sora said as he turned his head away from him. Cloud said nothing as he sat down next to him. It was a couple of minutes of uncomfortable silence before Sora broke it. "What do you want from me…?"

"Nothing. I just want to take care of you," he said softly looking over at the brunette but found he was talking without looking at him.

"I don't want you too. I can take care of myself…"

"Yes. And you have done such a great job taking care of Roxas all these years. You've helped him grow into a boy that doesn't have to worry about where the next punch is coming from or when is the next time he will be beat. You have done such a good job but now it is time to let go. You are only a teenager. How about you act like one for once. Let the adults worry about where your going to stay. Or what is going to happen with your parents. You will stay with us Sora. You don't have to worry anymore."

"I can't stop though," Sora said before he started crying again. "I do worry. I…I can't…." he trailed off as he felt arms wrap around him. Cloud held him tight and gently rubbed his back as he let the young boy vent his frustration.

"You are a strong boy Sora. But use that strength for something else. Use it to protect yourself." Sora nodded slightly as he slowly calmed down.

"Thanks…" Sora said softly as he pulled away from the hug. He blinked when he was pulled back.

"Any time Sora. I've missed you both so much."

"Well you don't have to miss me anymore. I'm right here." Sora laughed softly then pulled away. This time he wasn't pulled back.

"I'm going to go talk to Sephiroth and see about getting the move to his house. You can come in when you're ready." Sora nodded as Cloud stood up. Cloud took one more look at Sora before turning the corner and heading in. Sora sat there quietly looking up at the sky. He blinked when he felt something in the back of his mind. He looked around feeling he was being watched but found no one. He stood up then turned and walked towards the building.

When Sora walked in Roxas looked up with a worried look. Sora shrugged slightly then sat down on the bed as Cloud and Sephiroth walked into the room. Cloud smiled at him and he gave a small smile back. "Okay looks like things are ready to get going," Sephiroth said then sighed looking between Sora and Roxas. "Since both of you are under age I had Cloud take care of checking you two out. I am of no relation so it would be suspicious for me to. Now I have a care on it's way to pick the both of you up so get changed out of the hospital clothes and into your clothes. We had them washed. Cloud handed both the boy's clothes and Sora shook his head before switching clothes with Roxas. They were all men in there so Sora and Roxas didn't have any problems getting changed in there with everyone still talking. Though Sora didn't look at anyone as soon as his shirt was off. He had scars from the surgery and all the abuse he had gotten. The scars weren't healing up as fast as his bones did. Neither did the scratches. Sora took a deep breath then sat down on his bed.

"You will be brought to my house and training will begin not long after. There will be someone with you every day Sora and Roxas you will have a few trainers too. You will both have to let us know if you remember anything from your past. And you both will once a week have to talk to a therapist." Sora rolled his eyes.

"This is stupid…"

"You say that now but things are going to be moving quickly for you. No both of you." Cloud said as he shook his head. "And Sora….if you see Aqua again. Tell her I say hi…"

"Sure…" Cloud smiled lightly then nodded at Sephiroth.

"Lets get going then," he said then lead them out of the room. Everyone followed out of the room then out of the building. A black car was waiting for them outside. Sora climbed in first then Riku, Roxas and Axel.

"Aren't you coming?" Sora asked when neither of the adults got in.

"We drove here so we are going to drive back with our cars. I rather like my car not to stay here all night," Sephiroth said mildly annoyed. Cloud nodded, agreeing with Sephiroth. "Once you get to the house Riku give them a tour and give them one of the guest rooms by your room. I don't think any of the maids are around there. And they just recently cleaned that section." Riku nodded then Sephiroth closed the door. Sora leaned against the door and stared at the window as the driver started driving. His mind was wondering to the conversation with Aqua. Sora was so deep in thought he didn't hear Roxas trying to talk to him. He turned his head towards Roxas when he tapped Sora's shoulder.

"Are you okay Sora?" Roxas asked and Sora nodded.

"Yeah. What's up?"

"I was just making sure you were okay." They started talking about random topics as the drive went on. Sora contributed in the conversation a bit but mostly listened, rather liked listening instead of talking. Soon the car was pulling into a long drive way. Once they reached the mansion Sora climbed out and stared at it.

"It's huge….Your house is huge!" Sora said as he pointed at it. "This is amazing. Your house is amazing!" Riku laughed as Sora ran up the stairs then smiled down at Riku. Riku followed Sora up the stairs then lead everyone into the house. They were met by four different maids.

"Welcome home master Riku," one of them said as all four of them bowed. Riku waved them off and they walked away.

"Come on guys. I'll show you to the hall with the rooms. There are three rooms by my room that aren't being used like my father said. So you guys can pick one out. Sound good?" Everyone nodded then followed Riku up the stairs.

Cloud pulled up the drive way and smiled when he saw Sora and the others walking around in the garden. Sora was walking a head of the two and seemed to be paying more attention to the flowers then he was the conversation everyone was having. Cloud climbed out of the car and walked over.

Sora was over by the fountain and was playing in it while the other three were talking about going to school. Sora didn't want to go to school. Sora sat down at the fountain then laid his head down. He waved to the other three then pointed at Sora. Sora's eyes were closed and his hand dangled into the water. Riku walked over then gently laid his hand on Sora's shoulder.

"Sora?" he asked quietly as he bent down. Sora mumbled something softly and Riku smiled. "You just fall asleep where ever you want don't you?"

"Everyone picked rooms already?" Everyone nodded. "Good. Now then I guess I should talk to you all about what is going to happen the next couple of days." Riku sat down then gently shifted Sora so he was sitting in his lap. Sora relaxed as he snuggled into Riku's chest. Riku smiled as Axel and Roxas sat on the fountain edge. Cloud just leaned against the fence that was there. "We have to get into a routine. There are a lot of people that will be coming in and out of the house every day. Its hard to think about now but there will be battles. And people are going to get hurt. So training that's going to start tomorrow is fighting. You're going to learn how to fight and defend yourself. And you'll learn how to bandage someone up. We heal fast but you can still bleed out if you don't take care of it."

"Got it we'll be play fighting," Axel said as he shook his head.

"I'm being serious Axel. You could die if you're not careful," Cloud said as he crossed his arms. "Don't joke around…people have died already…"

"Okay. I get it," Axel said then took Roxas's hand. Roxas was glaring at him. "I wont joke around…"

"You will get weapons specifically made for you. Axel will fight with chakrams. Roxas if memory serves you were best at duel wielding swords, and Sora and Riku fought well together and both had a single sword. Sora relied on magic a lot too."

"Cloud," Sephiroth said as he walked over. "Don't give them all the answers. They will choose their weapons tomorrow. And what ever they feel comfortable with is what they will choose." Cloud sighed then smirked when he saw Sephiroth give Riku a surprised look. "Didn't think you were that close."

"Shut up!" Riku spat sitting forward a bit. Sora's eyes slowly opened as he sat up and slowly looked around. "Sorry Sora." Sora blushed when he realized he was in Riku's lap. He scrambled to his feet then held his hands behind his head.

"So what are we talking about?" Sora asked acting like he use to.

"We are talking about-"

"Dinner we are going to have tonight," Roxas interrupted then smiled.

"Oh? What is for dinner?"

"You'll have to see and find out. Head back in guys. And if your tired Sora please find a bed to sleep in. My son might be comfortable but I think you'll be more comfortable in a bed." Everyone started laughing as Sora's face turned bright red. As everyone walked in Sora hung back a bit and was enjoying the walk back. It was nice out and he didn't really want to go back in. Riku noticed then slowed till he was standing next to Sora.

"Do you want to go to my favorite spot?" Riku asked quietly as he watched everyone walking. Cloud and Sephiroth were talking quietly to each other and Roxas and Axel were going on about a video game that they wanted to go out and get. Sora blinked then smiled as he nodded. Riku took his hand then both slipped away. Sephiroth watched as the two walked away.

"Stop being a worry wort Sephy," Cloud said as he shook his head. "You know how close they are. Don't get between them."

"Shut up Cloud," Sephiroth grumbled as he crossed his arms. "It's hard to see them together…its always hard…" Cloud sighed then nodded slightly.

Riku lead Sora to a small patch of trees then down a hidden path. Once they stopped walking they were in the middle of a small opening in the forest. It was heavily wooded. The grass was filled with small white flowers. Sora's face lit up as he looked around at the amazing sight before him. "It's beautiful isn't it?"

"It is," Sora said softly then smiled as he sat in the flowers. "They're beautiful." Riku sat down next to Sora and watched him play with the flowers. He made a flower crown then held it up to Riku. Riku smiled as he bent his head down and Sora put it on top of his head.

"Thank you Sora. You're amazing," Riku said making Sora blush. "You mean a lot to me Sora…"

"Yeah…? Well you're an important friend to me Riku," Sora said softly and Riku shook his head. Riku brought his hand up and lightly touched Sora's cheek. His thumb brushing back and forth slowly.

"Not as a friend Sora. You're much more important then just a friend," he said softly then leaned forward and kissed Sora. Sora's face went even redder as his eyes went wide before closing. He hesitantly kissed back. Riku led the kiss knowing Sora didn't even have a clue on how to kiss. Riku pulled back slightly then leaned his forehead against Sora's. "I want to always be in your life and you in mine. No matter what." Sora's eyes slid open as he took a shaky breath.

"Riku…"

"Yes?"

"I…I care about you too…I never want to not be with you…You make me feel amazing when I'm around you. Always relaxed and I always feel safe." Riku smiled then wrapped his arms around Sora, pulling Sora close as he connected their lips again. Riku held Sora firmly in his lap as the kiss continued. Sora gasped as he pulled back from the kiss. "R-Riku…" Sora could feel Riku getting hard and wasn't sure where to go from here.

"Do you want me to stop?"

"I-I'm not sure…" Sora trailed off as Riku lightly kissed his neck. Sora shivered as he licked his lips that seemed to be going dry with every passing second.

"Well tell me at any point in time that you want me to stop and I will." Riku kissed down Sora's neck as his hands slid up the back of Sora's shirt. He lightly ran his hands over Sora's back before pulling at the shirt a bit. When Sora didn't protest he slid it over Sora's head and threw the shirt next to them. He placed a small kiss in the middle of Sora's chest and Sora hugged his head. Riku smiled as he did his hardest to take his time with this. He didn't want to scare Sora.

Once Sora let go he slid his own shirt off and let Sora stare at him for a bit before having Sora kneel. He smiled then slowly unbuttoned Sora's pants. He slid them down and smiled at the childish boxers Sora was wearing. He worked his pants off, so they were only in boxers, then pulled Sora down for a kiss. Sora jumped slightly and moaned when he felt Riku's hand on his cock. It felt good. Much different then when his step mother did it. Thoughts of her touching him slowly started flooding his mind.

"Feels good doesn't it? I bet you don't even mastur-," Riku started then frowned when Sora pushed away suddenly.

"I don't...I don't think I can do this…" Sora said lightly as he pulled his knees to his chest.

"Sora? Whats wrong?" To say Riku was upset they suddenly stop was and understatement and he wanted to find out the problem so they would continue. He was hard and needed to be satisfied. He had waited a very long time for this.

"I don't think I can do this…" Sora said again this time taking a shaky breath.

"You said that already Sora. What's wrong?"

"I don't want to tell you…it's something I haven't even told Roxas about…" Not that was a bit surprising. Sora told Roxas everything. Even about the abuse. He never said how bad it was but Roxas knew. Riku lightly put his hand on top of Sora's head then ruffled his hair.

"You can tell me Sora. There is nothing you can say that will push me away. I love you." Sora looked up surprised. Sure Riku had hinted at it but didn't say it. Love was a very strong word and he said it first. "Don't look surprised. I pretty much said it before Sora. Weren't you listening?"

"Y-yeah I was but…you really mean it…? No matter what I tell you? You would still love me?"

"Nothing you can say will change my mind Sora. Even if you told me you poisoned my meal and this would be the last hour we had together. We would be doing something far different if you did tell me that but that's besides the point. Now what is it?"

"Sex…it makes me uncomfortable…well…because…my step mom…she…" Sora trailed off at the end hoping he didn't have to say it. "I-I was able to go with you because it felt so different but…it's hard…memories came flying back and…" Sora didn't finish his sentence or look like he was going to continue talking. Riku was furious. Hate was coming off of him in waves. When Riku didn't say anything Sora jumped to conclusions and went to gather his clothes. He squeeked when arms wrapped around him from the side. There was a deep heavey pain in his heart that was growing every second that he was being held.

"I got you now," Riku said softly as he held Sora close to his chest. "I'll never let that happen to you again. I wont force you to do this Sora. I got a head of my self. I'm so sorry." The heavy pain slowly disappeared and was replaced with relief and lightness. Like a deep dark secret was relieved and no body was hurt because of it. Sora was trying his hardest to hold back the tears. He was so thankful. So relieved that he wouldn't lose Riku. "This doesn't change anything. I still want to be with you. And I want that kind of relationship. But only when you are ready."

"R-really…even though you're not my first…" Sora cried softly as he wrapped his arms around Riku and clung to him like he was just about to disappear.

"That doesn't matter to me Sora. That's ridiculous to even think that would matter to me." Sora shook his head.

"You can't understand what it's been like. They ingrained so many things into my mind I don't know what's real or not. If I told anyone they disappeared. I had a really good friend and they disappeared. His entire family disappeared…" Sora was shaking as the tears streamed down his cheeks. "I don't know what to believe anymore. I don't know if anything I know is real…I don't…"

"Shh," Riku said as he pulled Sora into his lap. "Lets calm you down a bit. You're getting too worked up again. Let go of everything Sora because from now on you are going to live. You are going to live a way that is for you. Not as if you are walking on egg shells or worrying about how to protect Roxas. After the training we go through it is us that will want to protect you. You are a great person Sora. And you have done many good things in your past lives. You don't deserve anything that has happened to you." Riku was rocking back and forth as he ran his hand through Sora's hair. Soon Sora's sobs turned into just sniffles as he listened to Riku.

"Y-you have your memories from our past lives?" Sora asked as Riku wiped away Sora's tears.

"Not as many memories as I do feelings. My love for you is stronger then anything I've felt before. I have a feeling of dread every time we part ways. And as the years gone by it went from an annoying feeling to a panicked feeling." Sora smiled and wrapped his arms around Riku again.

"I love you too," Sora said lightly.

"And that's all I need." Riku grabbed Sora's shirt then slid it over Sora's head. Sora looked like he wanted to say something but stopped himself, as if he was debating on saying something. "No Sora. This is something I rushed into. We'll take it slow." Riku smiled at the relieved looked on Sora's face. He leaned down and kissed him softly then helped Sora get his shirt on. Riku grabbed his shirt then pulled on his pants as Sora put his on. Riku laid down in the middle of the flowers and Sora laid down next to him.

"This is a nice place. This can be our place." Sora said as he looked at Riku. Riku nodded then rolled on his side. Sora rolled on his side, facing Riku, then moved closer to him. "Can we stay…like this for a little while?"

"Yeah," Riku said as he draped an arm around Sora. He knew Sora was tired. He smiled happily as he watched Sora fall asleep. Sora rolled onto his back and stretched slightly before settling down. "I will protect you Sora…" Riku shrugged then laid his head down. He snuggled into Sora for the first time in forever and just drifted off with a smile on his face.

Sora blinked as he looked around. He was wrapped up in a thick blanket. He looked down and blushed when he realized he was naked. He held the blanket close to his body as he heard a small giggle. He looked down and relaxed slightly when he saw Riku laying down next to him. Riku stretched then yawned as he slid an arm around Sora's waist. "Good morning Riku," Sora said then leaned down and kissed Riku. Riku mumbled a love you to Sora then snuggled into the blankets. "Its time to wake up." Sora was watching him and Riku cuddle. It was weird but felt like it was something he already did. And he did a lot.

That's right. I always woke up first Sora thought with a smile. And I always had to wake the lazy bum up.

"Where is she?" Sora asked then heard a small giggle again. "Where is my baby girl hiding?" Riku laughed then lifted his head.

"Where is our precious little girl?" Riku said then laughed as a young brunette girl jumped on the bed.

"Here!" she squealed then jumped into Sora's opened arms. "I'm right here!" Sora held her close then cuddled her.

"What are you doing up so early? I thought since you didn't have lessons you would sleep into today."

"I don't want to dad," she said then pouted. "I thought you and papa would hang out with me! I wanna hang out!"

"Okay," Sora said then lifted her up. "Lets go to the park." She squealed then ran out of the room. Sora smiled watching her leave then climbed on top of Riku. "And here I thought we would get a quicky before she woke up." Riku moaned softly and shifted slightly so his hard cock pressed up against Sora. Sora shivered then smirked.

"Can't we? Just let me in just for a bit." Sora laughed then turned to the door when he heard her running up the hall.

"I don't think we can," he said climbing off Riku and off the bed taking the top sheet with him.

"Dad! Papa! Common!" she pouted then jumped up and down.

Cloud watched the two resting from the tree lines. He looked to his side and saw a black haired man standing against a tree. Cloud nodded and he nodded back. He blinked when he saw Sephiroth come up next to the black haired man. "Guess you came to look for them too? Good to see you again Vincent. It's been a while."

"Yes. You too Cloud," he said then looked over at Sephiroth. "I'll be training him soon right?" Sephiroth nodded then looked at Cloud. Cloud shook his head then turned and walked away.

"Yes. You will. But right now I have a place that requires your naked body and there is a place I would like to fuck." Sephiroth smirked as Vincent leaned closer to Sephiroth.

"I think I can arrange something."

Tada! End of Chapter! Hope you enjoyed! :D Who could this little girl be?! Super exciting! Read and Review! :D
