Chapter nine-into the past
"Sora," Riku said as he gently shook the teen. "Sir it's time to get up." Sora slowly opened his eyes then looked up at Riku. Riku was dressed as a servent. "Come on Sir. It's time to get ready for the day."
"Riku…it's too early…" Sora said then tried to pull the blankets up over himself. Riku grinned before leaning over Sora then kissed the top of Sora's head. Sora blushed then pulled his blanket down. "Riku!"
"You're too cute when you blush," he said then tilted his head. "Happy birthday." Sora looked away before looking back at Riku.
"W-where is my birthday kiss?" Sora asked slowly then smiled. Riku leaned down then kissed Sora softly on the lips.
"Oooh! Sorry to interrupt," a silver haired boy said as he turned around. "I'll come back later."
"Really? Now you have to come in Zexion?" Riku asked as he got up and shook his head at his older brother's antics.
"My virgin eyes can't handle seeing things like that," he said then dramatically put his arm over his head.
"I'm the king of the world if you're a virgin!" Sora sat up then sighed softly.
"Prince you're required in the throne room. Your uncle is wondering why you are not up yet. I was told to come get you."
"I'm up. Tell him I'll be there shortly," Sora said then threw his legs over the bed. He got up then walked towards the bathroom. "I'm going to bathe first then I'll be down. It is my birthday so I slept in."
"Yes sir," Zexion said as he bowed then left.
"He always has to bug us doesn't he…?" Sora said then walked into the bathroom. Riku followed him in with a smile.
"Lets get you squeaky clean," Riku said as he tested the water he filled up earlier. "Remember when I first became your servent?"
"Yeah. You were cute back then." Sora smiled as he sat down on the edge of the tub. "I…wanted to make you my…best friend the moment I saw you. I begged my Uncle to let you be my personal servant."
"I remember when he said no you had a temper tantrum. It was the cutest thing I'd ever seen since I was brought into the castle. I'm glad that my family was left here. This has been much easier then our last masters."
Riku slowly dripped water down Sora's body then smiled as he slowly started soaping up his body. Sora relaxed as he felt Riku's hands over his body. Slowly Riku's hands got lower and lover as he leaned closer to Sora. Sora blushed as he looked up.
"Happy birthday," Riku whispered into his ear. He lightly licked it before he grinned. "Want your birthday present early?" Sora took a shaky breath then nodded. Riku's hands slowly slid down to Sora's hardening cock. Sora moaned as Riku's hands explored his lower region. He came around the front then slowly leaned down and took his cock in his mouth. He sucked lightly as Sora's head went back.
"R-Riku…I-I…" Sora was too embarrassed to say anything His hands traveled into Riku's hair and gripped it as Riku sucked and licked at his cock. His head slowly started moving up and down. Sora moaned louder as he pushed on Riku's head. "I-it feels really good…" It wasn't long before Sora came into Riku's mouth. Riku licked his lips as he lifted his head. Sora stared at him for a bit before he blushed.
"You are really tasty," Riku said then got up and rinsed Sora off. "Now lets get you down to the king before he gets annoyed with me for taking so long with you." Sora nodded slowly then looked up.
"Is this the end of my present or will there be more?" Sora asked hesitantly.
"You'll find out later tonight." Riku said then winked. He grabbed a towel then toweled Sora dry. He walked out and got clothes for Sora as Sora walked into his room. He got Sora dressed then went down to the throne room.
"You took your time Sora." Cloud said as he crossed his arms.
"Sorry Sire. I wanted to bathe before I came down. And I didn't want to rush. I hope you can forgive me."
"Yes, yes. Now your brother will be coming back from the neighboring country today with their prince. They seemed to have gotten close the past few months. I want to see if maybe we can get an alliance with them tonight. I want you to be on your best behavior. And I expect you to make sure of that Riku," Cloud said sternly.
"Yes Sire," Riku said as he bowed low. He kept his gaze down as he straitened up.
"Now go and practice your magic. I heard you have been skipping out. I want you to get better Sora. If you want to take over the throne when you're older and it not be your brother get your skills up."
"Yes Uncle…" Sora said then started walking out of the room.
"Sire it's time for lunch," Leon said as he bowed.
"Thank you Leon," Cloud said then got up. "I hope it's something good." Cloud grinned as Leon blushed.
"I hope it's to your liking," Leon said as Sora watched the two. Sora had the feeling the relationship they had was the reason that Cloud didn't have any woman and didn't have any kids.
"Sora?" Riku asked when he didn't see the brunette behind him. Sora quickly caught up then smiled. "What are you smiling about? And what took you so long?"
"Just watching," was all Sora said then started walking faster. He made it to the practice room then smiled as he started stretching. He figured he would work on some fire and a bit of water today. Just in case he set something on fire again. He was taught to work with opposites because if something bad happened he could put it out or melt it.
Sora smiled as he slowly formed a fire ball between his hands and started throwing it up and catching it. He jumped when he felt a ball of water hit him and at the same time put his weak fire ball out. He turned and glared at Demyx. Demyx was wearing a sleeveless shirt and shorts. He wasn't wearing any shoes and he rarely wore any. Sora huffed then formed a water ball in his hand this time. He used the water that was on him so that way he was now dry. He threw it and hit Demyx on his side. His eyes narrowed.
"This means war then," he said before forming four balls above his head. The balls slowly shifted to music notes. "And you know that I will win."
An hour later Sora was panting and soaking wet. He lost the fight but he didn't loose it without getting Demyx a few times. He wasn't nearly as wet as Sora was. Sora collapsed on the ground and just tried to catch his breath. "You win…this time. I'll get you…next time."
"You say that every time. But you did get me two more times then last. I'm proud you are getting better little one."
"I will take that as a complement," Sora said then smiled. He blinked when a towel was thrown over his head. He sat up then wiped his face before looking up at Riku. "Hi Riku," Sora said with a bright smile. "I got Demyx a few times!"
"I saw. His legs looked really wet."
"That's where I hit him the most," Sora said as he scratched at the back of his head. "I have to work at throwing I guess too."
"All you have to do is aim higher," Riku said then held out his hand. Sora took it and with Riku's help, Sora stood up.
"Ha ha Riku. Ha ha." Sora rolled his eyes then looked at the door when it opened.
"You are here," A blue haired woman said as she walked in.
"Aqua!" Sora squealed as he ran over to her. He jumped up and down as he grabbed her arms. "I can't believe you're here! I thought you weren't going to be here for our birthday!"
"You think we'd miss it?" A black spicky haired man said as he smiled.
"Zack!" Sora jumped into the tall man's arms.
"It's nice to see you too Sora," Zack said hugging him tight. Sora pulled back then giggled when his hair was ruffled. "How is the magic training? And how about your sword training? Did you get a weapon yet?"
"Magic I'm getting better. Not the greatest but I'm making progress. Sword training is much better then magic. I can land a few hits on Terra. Though I am usually the one getting healed up after the fights. I think I cut his arm pretty badly last time. So it's hard for me to keep fighting him…and I got a weapon. It's called a Keyblade. I'm not the only though. I heard Roxas got one. And a few others. They're all different and have different affects then all the rest. Mine isn't all that good but there isn't all that much known about it." Zack nodded as he listened.
"You shouldn't worry about hurting him. He's a tough cookie. And plus as long as you don't cut his head off he can be healed. Even if you do he can be resurrected but he won't be too happy. Or able to fight for a few days."
"Got it. Don't cut Terra's head off…" Sora said then sighed.
"You shouldn't scare him!" Aqua said then punched him. Zack huffed as he rubbed his arm.
"You don't have to hit me! I didn't deserve that!"
"You did!"
"Guys," Sora whined as he waved his arms out in front of him in their direction. "Don't fight! You just got here!"
"Sorry," Aqua said then knelt down and held up a keychain with a star on it. "I wanted to give you something. It ties us all together." She gave him a necklace. It was a thin silver chain that had a silver small crown on it. Along the chain were star shaped items in a light blue, green, orange and yellow. Blue ties you to me. Green ties you to Ventus and Vanitas. Orange ties you to Riku and Terra and yellow is tied to Kairi and Naminé. They're called Wayfinders. They're good luck charms. Everyone has similar ones to the one that you have but they are a bit bigger." Sora's eyes widened as he stared at the beautiful necklace.
"This is beautiful…" Sora said as he turned around so she could help put it on for him. He lightly ran his fingers over each one before looking up at her and smiling. "This is the best!" He gave her a tight hug before letting go and showing Riku.
"It is," Riku said then smiled at Aqua and Zack. He bowed slightly. "It's good to see you guys again. I am also surprised that I didn't hear that you were coming. You said you weren't going to be able to make it."
"Our plans cleared up and we were able to make it."
"I will let the maids know so they can make rooms up for you two."
"Don't worry. We wont be here that long," she said softly with an unknown look in her eyes. She smiled then put her hand on Zack's shoulder. "We just wanted to give you your gifts now. I wanted to talk to Sora alone if it was okay with the both of you?" Riku nodded then Zack did.
"I will be in the kitchen when you need me," Riku said as he walked towards the door. "I need to make sure that everything is going smoothly in there. I want the food to be perfect. We have a lot of people coming tonight." Sora waved before Riku left.
"I can't stay?" Zack said with a frown.
"Not for this part. Once I'm done I'll call to you," she said then kissed his cheek. "Go."
"Fine…" Zack said before leaving the room.
"Lets sit down," she said then sat in the middle of the room. She crossed her legs then smiled as he sat down and crossed his legs in front of himself.
"Are you going to tell me something bad?" he asked hesitantly.
"What makes you think that Sora?" she asked softly.
"I've been having these weird thoughts lately. Like is any of this for real or not?" he said as he looked up.
"Have you? That makes sense. Things are starting to align now and will soon start moving in a way I wish didn't have to happen…"
"Aqua…you're scaring me."
"I'm sorry."
"It's like…A scattered dream that's like a far off memory. A far off memory that's like a scattered dream. I wan to line the pieces up. Yours and mine."
"Sora…"
"I've been hearing that a lot. A voice similar to mine. Saying it over and over again. And I can't help but want to help him. Sometimes I even hear him asking for help." Aqua nodded then reached out and took his hands in hers.
"I want you to meditate. I'm going to go through this with you this time. I'm going to put, a lack of better words, a block on you. When everything is said done and things get reset again, there will be two words that will unlock your memory. We'll have this conversation may of times. And I'll be able to see you again." She took a deep breath then smiled sadly. "You're a strong Sora. And your always going through things I wish you didn't have to…"
"Aqua…" He gripped her hands and gave her a gentle smile. "Aqua you're a great friend and an even better teacher. I will always remember you. But please don't do anything stupid. I'd hate to lose any one I consider part of my family." Tears slid down her cheeks as she smiled.
"You're such a great person Sora. L-lets do this before Zack gets anxious. Go into a deep meditative state. Like you're going to look for some answer deep inside yourself or you're going to see your magic levels."
Sora nodded as his eyes slowly closed as his head tilted down. He was so use to going to check his magic he slid inside himself and went strait down to his magic. He felt someone enter his mind and slide right down next to him. It was a faint blue ball. It whirled around him before leading him higher up to what looked like a large gate. Sora tilted his head as he touched the door. A bright light shined through the crack of the door and he removed his hand touching the door so that he could cover his face. He backed up a bit before the ball went over and lightly touched it. He blinked as two words formed on the doors. One on each side of the opening. 'Kingdom Hearts…' He thought then blinked again as he felt himself slowly coming out.
As soon as he was out he felt really heavy. He fell back and immediately grabbed his head when he hit his head hard against the ground. He rolled around the floor gripping at his head. "Ow! Ow! Ow!"
"Are you okay Sora?" Aqua asked as she helped him sit up. "How are you feeling?"
"Heavy…my heart feels heavy." As he talked Sora's hand went up to his chest. He looked down at his hand.
"Okay," she said then lightly put her hand on his. "It's understandable. I put the block on your heart. So that when it comes the time, the people you need will already be around you but you wont know it. Your heart has something in it that others will want to use and abuse the power. This seal or block will prevent people in the future that want to cause you harm from finding you. It will also make you forget. You'll understand later on what I mean. But what I helped you do will protect you longer then I can." She leaned forward then kissed his chest, where his heart would be. "I love you Sora. As if you were my son."
"I love you too Aqua," Sora said then wrapped his arms around her neck and hugged her tight. They sat in silence for a while before Zack quietly walked in and sat next to them.
"Hi," he said with a grin then laughed when Sora jumped. "Everything go okay?"
"Yes. It's done. We should get ready for the part don't you think?" Zack frowned but nodded. He opened his arms and Sora climbed into his lap.
"I don't want you to. Why not train with me for a little while before you go? Pwease?" Sora gave this puppy dog look that was irresistible. Aqua sighed but nodded.
"But only for an hour. I know how you like to drag it out. And your magic is pretty low after the battle you had wit Demyx. So don't rely too much on that but don't ignore it either."
"Yeah, yeah," Sora said as he quickly got up and got his keyblade. It was simple silver blade with a yellow handle with guards on either side protecting his hand from getting hit. He held it with two hands as he stood at the ready for Zacks attack. Zack grined as he unsheathed his simple blade. He stood there for a few seconds before he charged him. He aimed high as he slashed at Sora. Sora blocked the hit before he waited for the second hit that was aimed for his chest. Sora blocked a few hits before he went on the offensive. He went for his arms and legs.
Each attempted was blocked. Both seemed evenly matched. Sora growled. "Stop taking it easy on me! Fight me!" he yelled before Sora was knocked back into the wall.
"The same could be said about you Sora. Fight me." Zack was calm. Sora grumbled as he climbed to his feet before lunging at Zack. The sound of metal hitting metal was heard as the battle went on. Sora threw a few balls of water around and each time missing Zack. Zack rolled his eyes at his attempts. Sora threw one ice spell before he grinned. He jumped back and waited. He panted then smiled at Zack. Zack raised an eye brow before tring to defend another attack from Sora. He was pushed back. He gasped when his foot slipped on some ice. He fell to the ground and went to roll up but was stopped by a blade to the neck.
"Check mate."
"You got me," Zack said as he released his weapon and held up his hands in defeat. "I guess I don't have to train you anymore. I have nothing left to teach Sora." Sora released his Keyblade then held his hand out to Zack. He helped Zack stand up then tilted his head.
"I think there are things that you can still teach me," Sora said then turned to Aqua. Aqua walked over to him then held out a small pill.
"Take it," she said then handed him a glass of water. "I told you not to use magic too much."
"I'm fine," he tried but she shoved it at him.
"It will not give you much back but enough that once you walk out of this room you wont collapse. I don't want to have to explain to your Uncle why you come to you can't come to your own party because you collapsed and need a few hours to recover. I would not hear the end of it because I am suppose to be the magic teacher. I'm even above Demyx."
"Really," Sora said before he took the small pill. He drank the water then tilted his head. "Does that mean…"
"Yes. I am his master." Sora nodded and smiled. After taking it he felt better. He didn't even realize how drained he was.
"Thanks Aqua. And thanks Zack! I had a really good time." He smiled then laughed as he was pushed out of the room.
"Go find Riku. Go enjoy the rest of your birthday with him," Zack said then winked.
"W-wait! Wh-What?! How?"
"I'm not blind," Zack said with a grin.
"I told him," Aqua said then laughed when Zack glared and huffed. "I know because I know you. And I can see that look in your eye every time I see you looking at Riku. It's similar to the look your father gave your mother whenever she was around. She didn't have to be looking at him. It was always there."
"What look?" Sora asked as he tiled his head.
"Love." Sora blushed then smiled.
"Yeah, you're right. I love him." Sora's smile made both, Aqua and Zack smile as they watched him.
