Riku closed the door behind him and was faced with an extremely pissed off Xemnas and a giggling Aqua. He looked at Xemnas dismissively then turned to Aqua and smiled. "What are you giggling about?"
"Thank you so much?"
He looked at her quizzically, "For what?"
"That sight was just priceless. And holy shit is Terra hung like a frickin horse!"
"Sorry I didn't notice, but I'll take your word for it." He responded with a chuckle. "Well I'll see ya around beautiful, later dickhead."
"Fuck you asshole." Xemnas snapped back.
"In your dreams Honey." He retorted as he walked out the door.
Aqua looked at Xemnas, "Okay what the hell do we do now? I sure as hell ain't walkin' in on them." She put her hands up in a, "I'm out of it" gesture.
"Well we can sit out here until they decide to come out or we can just knock on the door. If they're back at it they'll tell us to go away." He shrugged his shoulders and knocked on the door.
"Yeah come on in." a gruff answer from Ventus but he sounded fine so he opened the door and walked in with Aqua following close behind. "I take it we aren't sparring?" he asked with a grin.
Grinning back, which was definitely a good sign, Ventus answered, "Fuck you, we got some plans to make anyway."
Xemnas lifted his brow, "What's up?"
"We are going to move on the bastard twins tomorrow, I'm not waiting until they train, I want this done. Oh and for fun we are hitting a third person, that's going to be a special treat I'm thinking of giving to Terra." He let out a chuckle that made Aqua shudder it sounded so evil.
"Oh this sounds fun, do tell." The big man said with enthusiasm.
Xemnas sat on the overstuffed couch that just several minutes ago Ventus imagined bending Terra over and his cock twitched at the memory. Damn he was looking forward to going home.
Terra hung up the phone, "Okay that was the last call everyone should be here within 20 minutes. There will be eight of us. Think that's enough? I've got Marluxia, Lexaeus, Larxene, and Saix all on board."
"Yeah I think that's all we need. I don't want too many people involved in this anyway."
"Agreed," Terra said, sitting on the couch arm by Ventus, much closer than he ever had before; but not in the least bit concerned that he was overstepping his boundaries. Finally he could act the way he wanted to, show Ven and anyone else how he felt and not have to worry about how people reacted to it. When Ven placed his hand on his thigh he couldn't stop the grin. Yes, it's about fucking time! "So do you already have an idea of what you want to go down?
"Yeah I have a pretty good idea, but I want some input from you three before the rest get here. So this is my basic plan."
For the next 10 minutes the four discussed and fine tuned the plan. By the time the others arrived all the final decisions were made and the plans ready to set in motion. Thirty minutes after they arrived they were leaving with their assignments handed out.
"Okay Aqua and Xemnas you two meet here at about noon tomorrow and the four of us will leave from here to meet up with Marly, Lex, Larxy and Saix. I am going to enjoy this so much. Alright go, see ya tomorrow." It was an order not a request so the two left immediately.
As soon as the door closed Ven turned around and advanced on Terra who was sitting on the couch; without missing a beat he straddled the larger man and crushed their mouths together. Like the couple, their kiss was a meshing of passion and violence. Ventus had hold of Terra's hair and rocked his hips to grind their arousals into each other.
Terra groaned into Ven's mouth as he ran his hands up and down the smaller mans back finally settling them on his hips. He grabbed those hips firmly and pulled that strong body tightly to his own the increased friction made them moan.
"Why don't we take this back to my house, I have lube so you can finish what you started." Ventus suggested in a husky voice.
Terra kissed him once more and said, "Let's go I've waited long enough to be with you."
Riku flipped open his phone and hit speed dial as he walked to his car.
"Hey slick what's up?" Came the voice of the calls recipient.
"Hi Red, listen we need to meet. I think the twins are in trouble."
"Ventus." Was his friend's immediate response.
"Yeah how'd you know?"
"Call it instinct." the other man replied.
"Yeah he is a real head case when it comes to them and I don't think I can stop him on my own. You got some time tomorrow?"
"Of course, can you be at the Coffee Shop at 11:00?" Red asked.
"Yeah I don't have classes until after 4:00 so that works." Riku responded relieved, if anyone could help keep Sora and Roxas safe it was this man.
"Great I'll meet you then. Hey Riku, how bad is it?"
"Pretty bad my friend, pretty bad." he replied solemnly.
"Fuck!"
"Yeah I know, we need to act fast. See you tomorrow. Oh hey, how'd it go today?"
"Perfect, I couldn't have done it without you man."
"My pleasure, you deserve happiness?" Riku said sincerely.
"Aw thanks, I knew I stayed friends with you for a reason."
"Yeah, yeah." He had a brief thought that this was a very good friend he was talking to. He recalled thinking earlier that he never formed any loving friendships. It suddenly occurred to him that he had been friends with Red since junior high school. He would watch his back in any situation and he knew he would do the same for him. "Well I'll be damned"
"You'll be damned for what, your insatiable need to piss people off? I don't think so. It's pretty entertaining when you think about it," his friend interjected.
Riku hadn't realized he had said that out loud but it was obviously loud enough for Red to hear it. "Huh? Oh nothing, just a bit of an enlightening moment, I'll see ya tomorrow Red."
"Yep, later."
As Riku drove home he tried to come up with ways to stop Ventus' need for blood but with no success. Every idea he thought of he shot down just as fast knowing Ven would never go for any of them. He still couldn't understand why the guy blamed the twins for his life. But whatever the reason something had to be done. He'd fallen hard for Sora and would do anything within his power to protect him. He pulled in the back entrance since the party was still in full swing and went in the back way up to his rooms. He took the stairs to his rooms two at a time as he walked into his rooms he glanced at the clock it was 10:15 his aunt would still be up. He was about to hit the send button when he realized that the people he needed to talk to were here and the party. His aunt and her friend would still be here but he really did not want to go back downstairs.
"I know, I'll call James and have him bring them up here." He spoke to the empty room. Normally he didn't like calling on the staff to do his bidding but he did not want to rejoin that freak show going on in the great room so he would make an exception this time. He pressed the button for the intercom, "James?"
"You have need of me sir?"
Sighing he answered, "James how many times do I have to explain that it is not necessary for you to call me sir? Riku is fine."
"Yes sir, my apologies sir. I will try to remember that sir...erm...Riku, sir."
Shaking his head Riku replied, "Good try dude, keep working on that. Okay so what I need from you is to bring my Aunt Paine and her friend Corinthia to my rooms, would you do that for me?"
"Certainly s…Riku, straight away sir," James sighed at his slip.
Hearing his frustration Riku decided to help him out, "Tell you what, why don't we start with you just adding my name when you address me. Would that be easier for you to start?"
"Yes," he could hear the relief in the man's word and smiled. "Thank you sir, damn."
"Just get the women for me please James," Riku laughed.
"Going sir, damn it!" He disconnected.
Chuckling Riku walked over to the bar and grabbed a bottle of water out of the mini fridge to drink while he waited for the women. He wanted to call Sora but didn't see the point in calling until after he'd spoken to Corintha. As he waited his mind drifted back to the brunette and how wonderful it felt to have him in his arms kissing those soft, warm lips. His body stirred at the memory.
There was a light knock on the door bringing him back to the present. With a little smile on his face he walked to the door to let his guests in.
"Hi Riku honey, how are you doing?" His Aunt Paine asked as she gave him a tight hug and a kiss on the cheek.
"I'm doing good Aunt Paine, how're you?" He asked easily returning the hug. His aunt was one of the only people he let touch him affectionately, only one who's affection he believed. Sora had been added to that list now and the thought made him smile.
"Fabulous really, so why is my favorite nephew requesting an audience with me?"
"Could be I just missed you." He suggested with a grin.
"Ha, yeah right now out with it. I was having a good time flirting with a very rich, very available man." she chided.
"Why do you need a rich man? You have enough money for five lifetimes."
"Because my dear nephew, a rich man doesn't need my money,"
"Ah, that is true." He looked over to the other women to greet her. "Hi Corintha, it's good to see you again, how have you been?"
"I've been good it's nice to see you too. I must admit though I am a little confused as to why you wanted to see me."
"I just have a few questions to ask you about someone I think is a mutual acquaintance."
"Okay, who would that be?"
"Jager, Jager Strife."
"My brother-in-law? What do you need to know about him?" The look in her eyes made Riku take notice. Something was definitely up.
"He has two sons right?"
"Yes, they're twins. What's this about Riku? Do you know something about who's been harassing them?"
"No not yet but I'm trying." He lied, he needed to know what was going on with Jager first. "What does he do for a living?"
"I'm not sure, I just know he travels a lot. Charlotte's always talking about how much she misses him. Sometimes he's gone for over a week. I appreciate you helping but you should know that they haven't said that it's still happening."
"That doesn't mean they stopped having problems. It just means that they may be trying to handle it themselves." Riku suggested.
"So do you think it has something to do with Jager's work associations?" Corintha asked her eyes wide.
"I honestly don't know what to think." Truth, he just left out what he was unsure about a technicality yes but not quite a lie. "Did they have a big wedding?"
"No, Justice of the Peace in Vegas; what does that have to do with anything?"
Riku had a feeling he knew what was going on now and had lost any respect for Jager when he realized what he must be doing. "Shit!" He whispered under his breath.
"What, what's wrong, what did you figure out?" Corintha asked desperately.
"Nothing, I have no ideas and I am just frustrated is all." Again, not a complete lie technically. "Thank you for taking time out of the party to come and talk to me. I really appreciate it."
"That's it? That's all you're going to ask?" His aunt interjected.
"Yeah, it's all I can think to ask. Sorry for taking you away from the party and all." He offered an apologetic smile.
"Oh don't worry about it, you hardly kept us for very long, besides I enjoyed seeing you." Paine assured him with a hug good bye.
"Yes it was no bother. To tell you the truth I was getting a little bored anyway. You helped break the monotony of the society showcase." Corintha said as she rubbed his arm in lieu of a hug.
"So you agree with me that it's all a boring show of who's got the bigger checkbook and contact list then?" Riku asked smiling.
"Oh yeah definitely but unfortunately I have to be here for my husband as a show of support you know, wifely duty and all." She answered on her way out the door. "Oh and Riku if you have any more questions you are welcome to call me anytime."
"Thank you I appreciate that Corintha, thanks again for coming up here I hope you enjoy the rest of the party. You too Aunt Paine." He added.
"Oh believe me dear I intend to and unlike you two I actually enjoy these social gatherings. The gossip alone makes them worth it." His Aunt Paine said with a mischievous smile. "Come Corintha I have a man to catch." Corintha laughed as she followed his Aunt down the stairs.
He closed the door and locked it. He thought of calling Sora again but decided to take a shower and get ready for bed first. It was now nearly 11:00 and he wanted to call before Sora went to sleep for the night. He rushed through his shower and nightly routine and didn't even bother to put clothes on, since he was just going to sleep anyway, besides he preferred to sleep in the nude. He grabbed a bottle of water out of the fridge and his phone off the bar then went to his bedroom. Finally he would get to talk to Sora again. He turned the T.V. on flipped through the channels until he found something mindless put the volume on low then made the call he had been thinking about for the last three hours. He couldn't help but smile when Sora answered before the first ring finished.
"Hi." Sora greeted him with that single word but it felt as if a warm blanket of love and passion had engulfed him.
That one word made him tingle from head to toe. His emotional and physical response was all consuming and he was not afraid of it because for once in his life it felt safe and true. No this feeling he embraced and he snuggled into the warmth that felt like home. "Hi yourself, sexy."
Sora blushed at Riku's words. "I was starting to think you wouldn't call it's getting so late, but I am really glad you did. Is it stupid that I miss you so soon?" Oh my god I can't believe you just said that, stupid, stupid, stupid. He's probably going to hang up and never call you again! He closed his eyes waiting for the reaction. When the sound was an erotic sigh he went still.
"No it's not stupid, I missed you too. I can't tell you how many times I picked up the phone to call you but stopped because I didn't want us to be interrupted. So how did your soufflé turn out?" Riku settled into his pillows as he spoke.
Sora could hear the rustling of cloth that he assumed was bed sheets and his body stirred at the image. "It turned out really good. Me and Roxas ate all but two of them," he giggled. "I saved one for my teacher and one for my Mom, she's coming back tomorrow. She's been at my Grams for a couple days but Dad said Gram is doing better so Mom's coming home." He was rambling he knew it but he would try anything to distract himself from what the thought of Riku lying in bed was doing to him.
Riku lay on his bed and smiled as he listened to Sora ramble on. Thinking about how he could listen to him talk for the rest of his life and be very happy. "What was wrong with your Gram?"
Wow he actually paid attention, "She had surgery on her wrist. She fell and broke it in a couple places. Dad said she is doing much better than they expected so my Gramps can handle taking care of her alone. That's why Mom's coming home tomorrow." He heard the rustle of sheets again and whimpered a little at his body's reaction.
"Is something wrong?" Riku asked when he heard a whimper from Sora.
"No, no I, um, well it's just that, are you in bed?" he blurted out.
Riku chuckled, "I am, I also happen to be naked." He grinned and the sudden intake of air he heard Sora take.
"Oh, oh, I, I see," he groaned, "Did you have to tell me that? Now I am picturing you on your bed naked and damn it I, well I am not handling it well." He admitted as he blushed again. "It's just I keep thinking about being with you today and how it felt, and how gorgeous and sexy you are and I can't stop the reaction. I feel like I'm fourteen again."
"I have a confession to make." He said as he grinned knowing what this would do to his adorable Sora. "I am getting hard just hearing your voice. It's taking all of my control keep my hand from my cock. That's how much you affect me."
Sora let out a breath he didn't realize he was holding and with it came a groan. "You're trying to turn me on aren't you?"
"Yes of course I am," he laughed and the sound went straight to Sora's abdomen and down through his groin making his already twitching cock form into full erection. "How's is it that the sound of your laugh can affect me like this? What is with that?" he was truly baffled by the phenomenon.
"Affect you how? Do you have a hard on Sora?"
Even the way he said his name excited him, it came out like and erotic whisper that made Sora think of long nights of making love with candles as their only light and silk sheets under their heated bodies. "Yes." He whispered.
"I have a suggestion for relieving our excitement. You want to know what it is?"
"I know how to relieve my 'excitement' as you put it." Sora laughed; the sound a little strained.
"Oh but I think you might enjoy my way more." Riku responded.
"Okay I'll bite. What's your way?"
"Have you ever had phone sex?"
"No."
The surprise in Sora's voice was all Riku needed to continue. "So you've never tried it?"
"Um, no."
"You Want to?" Riku asked in a lower, huskier voice.
"I, well, um what, I mean how do we, what do we do exactly?"
"Basically I tell how I want to touch you and you follow what I say and I do the same for you. It's like you're the one whose hands are on me even though you can't be here with me."
"Oh I s-see, o-okay sure I'll try it, but I would rather have it really be you," he answered laughing nervously.
Smiling, "Same here sweetheart believe me but this is the next best thing?" Riku answered.
Axel looked at the time 10:45 just enough time to get his and Riku's drinks, find a quiet corner table and check his emails. As he set his phone down Riku walked in the shop and spied him, he nodded when Axel showed him the drink he already bought for him. He noted the solemn look on Riku's face as he made his way to their table.
"Good god Slick did someone just kill your dog?" Axel asked as his friend sat down. "You look like hell."
"Well thanks, I have an excuse though. I was up half the night trying to come up with a way to get Ventus to leave them alone. I just don't see any way to get him to agree to it."
"Yeah he is quite a bastard when he gets his hate on." Axel commented as he took a sip of his coffee.
"Isn't that the truth, of course he is a bastard in general so it's par for the course really." Riku mused.
"He wasn't always such a bastard Riku, you know that as well as I do."
"No my friend, I don't, he has always been a dick to me. I can't recall one good memory with Ventus, not one. He was mean as a kid and never changed. The only time he ever showed an inkling of kindness was around you and that was only miniscule."
"It's sad, I always thought he would change. I really hoped he could but he just doesn't want to you know. He's perfectly fine with being hated or feared by everyone around him." Axel shook his head slowly, "I don't understand why anyone would want to live that way."
"I have never understood that myself, I think I figured out why he hates them though." Riku offered.
"Really what do you think it is?" Axel leaned forward.
"I met Sora's and Roxas' dad last night."
"Oh really? Roxas goes on about him saying what a great dad he is and how they have a really close family and that his mom and dad really love each other and seeing them taught him to not take love for granted."
"Wow you two got into some deep conversation didn't you?" Riku grinned at how Axel's eyes darkened at the thought of him and Roxas.
"Well when I couldn't pry his hands from the center cage because he was so scared I had to do something to distract him. I was flying the balloon which meant my first choice of hot monkey sex was out, so I chose to sit and talk with him. You know get to know each other. It turned out to be a great decision" he grinned widely. "We had a great time and really learned a lot about one another."
"Why was he that scared did you almost crash?"
"Well it turns out he's phobic when it comes to heights." He said as he shrugged his shoulders.
"You took him up in a hot air balloon when he is afraid of heights? Smooth ace." Riku chuckled.
"Well how the hell was I supposed to know that? I thought everyone loved hot air balloons. It doesn't matter any way because everything turned out good, great as a matter of fact."
"Yeah you said that, several times now." Riku laughed, "It's great to see you happy again. You deserve it more than anyone I know."
"There you go being all nice again," narrowing his eyes, "What's gotten into you? Not saying you're a jerk but you aren't usually one to say the niceties like this. What's up with you?" Axel asked with suspicion.
"Nothing's up with me. Can't I just say something nice about my best friend?" Riku answered with a grin. Truth was since he met Sora he realized what people in his life brought him happiness and this cocky, down to earth red head was at the top of the list. A very short list but he did have a list which was something else he never realized.
"What is with that grin? It's kinda scary really. I am telling you that you are acting different."
"Well honestly, I think its Sora. He makes me happy. Gives me hope that there really is still good people in the world. Since I've spent time with him I've begun to realize that there are people in my life that I care about. I used to think I had no one that I cared about or that cared about me." He shrugged his shoulders.
"And now you've realized that you do?" Axel raised eyebrow. Geez Riku what the fuck did your parents do to you that you didn't recognize people care about you?"
"You have met my parents right?"
"Yeah, stupid question. Okay so any way why do you think Ventus hates the twins?"
"Like I said I met their dad last night, not that I needed to be introduced since I have known him all my life." Riku added.
"Wait, what? What do you mean you've known him all your life?" Axel studied Riku's face with his brows pulled together.
"I mean he is also Ven's father." Riku answered flatly.
"What the hell are you talking about? I thought they were Ven's cousins or some shit? That's what he always told me any way. What the fuck is going on?" Confusion and anger warred on Axel's face.
"I think that Jager Strife a.k.a. Jager Stryker has been keeping two families for years and Ventus found out. Roxas and Sora still have no idea about it."
"No way!"
"Yeah the bastard, and now Ventus knows about what he did and for some reason is blaming the twins. Hence the hard on to hurt them; although I can't figure what purpose that would serve unless he just wants to hurt his dad."
"Holy shit! Did you tell Sora yet?"
"No I just figured this out last night when I talked to their aunt. I didn't want to say anything until I was absolutely sure. Even now I don't know how the hell I am supposed to tell him that his father is a bigamist." The anxiety was apparent in his voice.
"Holy Shit!"
"That's not really helpful Red. Though I guess I already had my holy shit moment but snap out of it quick I need your help." He pointed out wryly. "Hey I know, you can tell Roxas! Then I won't have to tell Sora, yeah that's perfect!" Smiling as if he'd just won the lottery he took a sip of his coffee.
"Oh no! No way am I gonna be the one to tell that news! Have you forgotten I have a bombshell of my own to drop that leaves my future with Roxas in question already?"
"Oh yeah I guess that's enough of a heart stopper. Shit! Fine I'll tell them. Or would you consider us telling them together?" He looked at Axel pleading for him to say yes.
"Well hell, how am I supposed to say no when you look at me like that! Alright when do you want to tell them? At least if they know who and why they will have a better chance of defending themselves. That reminds me I wanted to talk to you about training them outside of their classes. I think we should train them together for a better, faster program. What do you think?"
"Yeah that's a great idea why don't we talk to them about it when we tell them that their dad that they love and adore is really an asshole, lying, cheating bastard." His eyes turn to cold smoke green in anger. "That should take their minds off of the fact that the life they have always known has just been blown to bits." he shakes his head looking at his coffee "Fucking bastard," he mumbled.
"Easy Slick we'll figure something out and hopefully with it coming from us the blow will be softened a little. I think we should do this today though. The sooner they know the safer they will be. We have to make them understand that Ven is a serious threat." Axel suggested.
"I agree. I'm supposed to meet Sora three o'clock. Will you be able to meet us around that time?"
"I have to wait for Roxas to call me. He said it would be in the afternoon sometime. I can try calling him." his phone rang at that moment and a wicked sexy grin grew across his face when he checked the caller ID.
Riku raised an eyebrow, "Gee wonder if that could be Roxas now?"
Axel kindly flipped him the bird, "Hey gorgeous. Done with school?"
Roxas was glowing at the greeting he received and took a minute to gather his thoughts. "Um, yeah, Sora and I are going to go get some lunch. We should be about 2 hours or so I thought maybe we could meet up after that. Um that is if you want to I mean."
"Of course I want to. Have you not figured out that I am crazy about you?" He grinned wider as he pictured the expression on his loves face.
"I…you…we…ugh!" Roxas moaned in frustration.
Laughing low and sexy. "Sora and Riku are supposed to meet about three. How about we meet up with them and discuss your personal training program?" Axel suggested. "I promise no teasing."
"Yeah right, you shouldn't make promises you can't keep." Roxas replied smiling. "How do you know they are meeting?"
"I've known Riku for a long time we are good friends, in fact I am currently have coffee with him. We are comparing exactly how much of the two of you is identical." he smirked again knowing what's coming. He just enjoyed messing with him too much to pass this one up.
"You what? Oh please tell me you're joking!"
"Okay, I'm joking."
"Axel." Roxas said with a warning tone in his voice.
"Roxas." he was holding back his laughter but just barely.
"Axel you aren't, are you?" he whined.
"No Sweety I am not discussing your anatomy with Riku." chuckling he added, "You're so easy."
"Shit I can't wait until I figure this part of you out. You drive me crazy!"
"As you do me sexy."
"That's not what I meant! Not that you don't that way too, cuz you do but…well…oh you know what I mean! Okay why don't Sora and I plan on meeting you and Riku back at our house about 3 o'clock then. Will that work for the two of you?" Roxas asked.
Axel covers the phone, "He says 3 o'clock at their place."
Riku nods his approval and took a big gulp of his drink thinking about what they are going to have to tell them. He pulled out his own phone and dialed Sora.
Picking up on the first ring Sora answered with his beautiful sweet voice a very happy, "Hi you."
Riku couldn't help but smile and realized he must look like Axel and laughed. "Hi sexy, what's happening?"
"I'm going to lunch with Roxas but you know that since you're there with Axel."
"I know I was just jealous cuz he was getting to hear Roxas' voice but I wasn't hearing yours." Riku explained.
"Really, truly?" Sora asked dumbfounded.
"Yep. I'm looking forward to seeing you this afternoon."
"Me too! I know it seems silly but I miss you."
Riku can see the pout in his head and his cock twitches at the need to suck on that jutting lip. "It's not silly cuz I miss you too and I am not a silly person." Smiling wickedly he thinks about everything he will do to Sora the next time they are alone together.
Axel's call ended, he sat quietly watching his friend talk to the twin brother of the love of his life and grinned as he imagined future holidays. Riku caught him watching and narrowed his eyes at him. A wasted gesture considering he was still smiling when he did it, Axel just laughed.
"Okay, Love I'll see you in a few hours and Sora, be careful please."
"I will. Don't worry, this guys been doing this for months and he hasn't done anymore than a few bruises and bumps we'll be fine. See you soon." he waited for Riku to say goodbye before he hung up.
Riku placed the phone in his pocket and looked at Axel who still had that stupid grin on his face. "What?"
"Did I say anything?" Axel replied with feigned innocence.
"You don't have to. Your face says it all." Riku answered.
"You got it bad, my friend, real bad." he chuckled at the silver haired man he called Slick due to his flirting habits. He could make men and women alike melt. His hair wasn't the only silver thing he had, his tongue was silver as well and he knew how to use it. To see him like this over someone was very amusing.
"Oh and you don't?" Riku said then ran his fingers through his hair only serving to make it look better.
"Never said I didn't, Roxas is amazing and I am totally lost to him. I am a happier, better man because of it too. It doesn't bother me to admit that. You however do not like to admit your feelings very often so I am sure you're holding back."
"That's the thing, I'm not, not with Sora and not with you. It's like he has open an emotional door that I never realized was closed and it's scaring the hell out of me. Feelings scare me, I didn't ever feel about my other boyfriends the way I feel about Sora and it's only been two days!" He explains with frustrated confusion.
"Take it easy Riku you're in love, that's what you feel." He shrugs his shoulders as if it's no big deal. But to Riku it was a big deal. He had survived on blocking all emotion and now, now they were all over the place and he felt like a fish out of water. It thrilled and frightened him at the same time.
"Axel, we have to protect them, we can't let anything happen to them." The look of panic and desperation has Axel sitting forward looking into Riku's troubled eyes.
"We will, we'll do everything possible to keep them safe okay, but first we need to tell them what they are up against. Plus we're going to be around them from now on and we know what the bastard is capable of so we will protect them with all that we have within our power to use."
"Yeah I know, I know, I just can't shake this feeling I have that something bad is going to happen." He shuddered and grabbed his cup to have something to do.
Axel's concern increased Riku's feelings were rarely flukes. It was unnerving how every time he said something bad or good was going to happen it did. He suddenly felt an urgency to get to Roxas and Sora. "Hey Riku?"
He looked up from his mangled cup, "Yeah?"
"What do you think about going to find the twins now?" He met his friend's eyes and read the same unease that he was sure was in his own.
"That my friend is the best idea you have ever had. Let's go I know the restaurant they are going to." Riku was up and out the door before Axel had his keys out of his pocket. "He looked at the keys in Axel's hand, "Oh no, we are not taking your death mobile!"
"What do you mean, death mobile? That is a beautiful car!" Axel said in protest as he admired his sleek red Lamborghini.
"Beautiful yes, safe, I don't think so. Especially with you behind the wheel, we take mine." He walked toward his equally beautiful Mustang Cobra. "I'm the better driver of the two of us and you know it."
"Fine." Axel flipped open his phone, "Hey Mike can you get the Lamborghini picked up for me? Yeah it's at The Coffee Shop. Yes I know you think that's a stupid name for a coffee shop. Okay within the hour I don't want her sitting here too long. Yep, thanks."
Riku just shook his head. Axel looked at him. "What?"
"It doesn't bother you to send him out to fetch your car?" Riku asked.
Axel looked at him with a confused expression. "No, why should it? That's what I pay him for, and I pay him very well I might add. He has never complained to me and until he does I won't worry about it." he shrugged his shoulders. Then he was suddenly smashed up against his window and seconds later being cut by the seat belt that was preventing him from ending up in Riku's lap. "Would you slow down Slick, we can't help them if we're dead!"
"We just need to get there now Red." The look on Riku's face made Axel's heart hammer into his chest. He knew there was something wrong it was there in Riku's face, in his glazed eyes.
"Fuck!" Axel's heart was racing as they turned the corner. "How much farther?"
"About two miles," Riku answered in a strained voice.
Axel's phone rang, he looked at the caller ID, it was Roxas.
"I don't understand why my car wouldn't start. I haven't had any problems with it at all." Roxas was saying as he and Sora drove to the restaurant.
"I told you I'll look at it when we get back to the house. Riku said he and Axel want to talk to us about something so we can talk outside while I'm looking at your car. Riku knows a lot about cars too so if I miss it maybe he will see the problem." Sora was saying as they turned the corner into the lot he liked to park in because there were never any cars in it, therefore, nobody to dent his baby. So what if they had to walk a block to the restaurants and stores of the downtown district. The hike was worth it to keep his car safe.
"Isn't there a better chance of the car getting stolen in this lot? It so secluded you'd think people would just wait for people like you to leave their cars here for them." Roxas mused aloud while Sora parked the car.
"I have been parking here for almost a year and never had a problem. I would appreciate you not jinxing it on me." Their bantering distracted them from the danger around them.
Roxas was the first to notice they were not alone in the lot and the person he spotted was a familiar face. "Shit!" He said under his breath.
"What?" Sora asked a confused look on his face.
When Roxas nodded toward the first threat Sora blanched. When two more joined the first Roxas knew this was not the same as the other times they were harassed. There was something different about their postures, the looks in their eyes; no, this was not going to be good.
"Well, well, look who we have here, if it isn't the pretty Stryker twins." Xemnas said with every bit of the menace that showed on his face.
"Sora just get back in the car." Obeying his brother Sora turned to get in the car but something struck his legs and he buckled to the ground.
"Shit Sora," Roxas ran over to his brother to find a set of nun-chucks a few feet away. He looked up to see Saix with a grin on his face.
"I don't believe we said you could leave." He picked up the weapon working it through his arms with the grace of well trained warrior. This was obviously his weapon of choice.
"What the fuck is wrong with you people? We have never done a thing to any of you." Roxas helps Sora to his feet. "Can you stand?"
"Yeah I think so. Roxas?" He looked at Roxas with such terror in his eyes that it broke Roxas' heart.
Of the two, Sora was the lover and Roxas the fighter, but against three well trained martial arts fighters Roxas didn't hold out much hope. He slowly reached into his pocket, and pushed the call button twice on his phone. Axel was the last person he called. He hoped to god that he would get to them in time. Until then he would just have to do his best to hold their attackers off. His mouth was good for that. And if his mouth failed, he didn't know much in the way of attack moves but Axel did go through a lot of defense moves with him so maybe he could by enough time for the Calvary to arrive.
Sora moved to his side trying to stand upright on his obviously injured legs. "Stand behind me Sora." Roxas ordered.
"I am not going to let you deal with these assholes alone." he answered vehemently.
"You know this is all sweet and everything seeing how much you two love each other. Well actually no it's not its fucking annoying and I think I've had enough." Saix spoke as he moved closer.
Without warning Saix flung the nun-chuck out; he struck Roxas in the jaw the force knocking him unconscious. He fell to the ground in a heap hitting his head on the concrete as he landed.
Sora yelled out, "Roxas!" Concerned for his brother Sora turned his back on the three people there for the sole purpose of hurting them. While he was kneeling to check on his brother he was grabbed from behind by his hair and flung against his car. The force of the blow against his back forcing the air from his lungs, he slid down to the ground in a daze. Saix approached with a smile on his face that promised nothing happy. Sora couldn't help but think this could be the last day of his life. He knew one thing though; he would not go without a fight. Grabbing the door handle he pulled himself up.
"Oh goody we have a fighter. That will make this even more fun. Is he dead?" he nodded in Roxas' direction. Sora wanted to look but knew better then to take his eyes off this man again. He was forced to wait for the response from Aqua who had gone to check.
"Fuck! Sora just yelled out Roxas' name hurry the fuck up Riku!" Axel bit out furiously.
"Where does the GPS show them at?"
"They are one block East of the restaurant."
Riku screeched to a halt at a red light. Almost hitting an old lady crossing the street who proceeded to creatively cuss at him and beat his car with her purse before moving on. The light changed and Riku tore off like a bat out of hell.
"Nope, not dead but what are we going to do with him? It's not like we can beat an unconscious man." Aqua asked Xemnas.
"Why not?" Saix threw in.
"I think by the time we are done with Sora Roxas will be awake and ready to try his hand at us."
"Fuck you!" Sora gritted out.
"Oh don't tempt me pretty boy because believe me if I have time I will, unconscious or not doesn't matter to me." Saix threatened as he moved closer.
Sora was trapped by the car. It protected his back but also left him no escape. He had nowhere to go he was forced to wait until these maniacs made the first move hoping it will open an escape route and give him more maneuver room. He feigned a move Saix attacked striking Sora in the side with his nun-chucks. The crack of his ribs was audible but he ddin't buckle over, he couldn't show weakness. The pain made is eyes water but he showed no other signs, no indication the blow did damage.
He turned to his conspirators, "Either of you want a piece of him?"
"You seem to be having fun but Saix hurry the fuck up before someone comes." Xemnas ordered as he looked toward the lot entrance.
Roxas moaned.
"Keep an eye on him Aqua." Xemnas warned her.
While Saix was distracted Sora used the one kick he learned in class. He held his ribs as he snapped out a front kick into Saix's knee. The big man went down and Sora ran past him, unfortunately he was faster and managed to get Soras ankle and pull him down on the side with the broken ribs. The force of the impact caused white stars to form behind his eyes. He tried scrambling away kicking with his other foot getting Saix's shoulder, jaw, and hand.
"Ah, you fucking, little shit!"
Sora was almost free of his grip just a few more strikes.
"Oh for fuck's sake Saix I said finish it." Xemnas walked up and kicked Sora in the back. The pain shot up and down his spine shooting out to all four limbs like electric shocks. He tried moving but he couldn't and as he lay there defenseless Xemnas began kicking him. Each strike sending nauseating pain through his body it was as if each blow took out another organ. He felt the blood trickle out of his mouth as Xemnas rolled him and kicked him in the stomach. He could feel every tear in his flesh as it happened. Without the ability to guard his body every blow hit its target and every target was a vital organ. Sora knew he was going to die and all he could think of was how he would never feel the love of his brother, and parents again. How he would never have the chance to experience the love that he and Riku shared. Blow after blow tear after tear the pain faded he assumed he was in shock now; he heard the screeching of tires before the final blow he received to his head and then there was nothing.
"Call 911!" Axel yelled to Riku as he jumped out of the car before it was even stopped.
Riku's heart pounded against his ribs as he called 911. He quickly rattled off the location, told the operator there was two injured and unconscious. He could barely choke out the words seeing his beautiful Sora lying lifeless on the ground. He watched as Axel did serious damage to Saix while fending off Xemnas, then took a moment to look at the man he loved, it was long enough for him to spot the blood leaking out of the corner of his mouth and he snapped. He headed for Xemnas as he pulled out of the shock of seeing Sora in a motionless heap. The only emotion he felt right now was rage, murderous rage and Xemnas was his target.
The first thing Axel spotted was Roxas on the ground and Aqua standing over him. She looked like she was protecting his body so he went for Saix and Xemnas first. Then he saw Sora, his body twisted at odd angles, he looked like he was in really bad shape. Axel couldn't tell if he was breathing or not but he had to get rid of the immediate threat first. Evaluating the two he decided Xemnas was the more dangerous and headed for him but Saix charged him first. He spun out of the first attack and countered quickly with and front snap kick, three solar plexus punch combo that made Saix gasp for air. Xemnas came at him with his normal bull in a china shop style and Axel gracefully dodged his attack. Xemans recovered quickly and landed a round house kick to Axel's side. Axel countered with a spinning back kick to Saix's low back that made his legs give out on him sending him to the ground face first. He turned to take care of Xemnas only to see Riku launch himself at the man. Axel then turned and kicked Saix three more times, once in the kidney, stomach, and spleen. Satisfied he wasn't getting up he went to help Riku.
"Oh yeah bring it on you bastard!" Xemnas got in his fighting stance.
Riku never stopped. He ran at Xemnas, and launched himself into the air as he attacked. The ever predictable idiot misread Riku's body language and blocked for a flying front kick. Riku spun at the last moment into a spinning back kick, his heel connected the side of Xemnas' unprotected jaw, his head jerked violently to the left, blood flew from his mouth and he went down hard. Riku followed his body kicking him in the kidneys since he had his ribs protected with his body in the fetal position. Grabbing him by the hair he jerked his head back, Xemnas' jaw was cocked at a funny angle which meant speaking would not be possible. "Did Sora get the chance to protect himself like this, you fucking lowlife scum? I should fucking kill you now!" He noticed Xemnas look behind him. "Aqua don't make me fuck up your beautiful face." He said venomously never turning around.
"Hey I never agreed with this any way I just want to get him in the car." She nods toward Xemnas then looked over at Saix. "I guess him too."
"Now why the hell would I let you do that? They need to pay for this." He asked as he got up and began walking towards Sora; his heart broke as he approached his still form. The sirens could be heard in the distance, Riku prayed they are not too late.
"You'll do that because your dad is not going to let them be charged with anything and you know it. If they get arrested and your dad has to clean up the mess he will take it out on you." Aqua's concern was sincere.
"Fine, get them out of here." He knelt down beside the man he loved, he was breathing but they were shallow breaths, he was cold to the touch. He didn't dare move him though the urge to scoop him in his arms and hold him was strong he used every ounce of will power he had not to.
As Aqua helped Xemnas to his feet Riku looked up at them. "And Aqua, tell Ventus this is not over. He will pay for what he's done." The promise in his words left no doubt that whatever the outcome of today Ventus just stepped over the line. He would not go unchecked this time.
Axel went over to Roxas who was lying on the ground moaning just regaining consciousness. Dropping to his knees with relief, a quick once over showed no apparent broken bones. "Hey gorgeous how're you feeling?"
Looking up at Axel his eyes still a little out of focus, "Axel you came." A weak smile appeared on his face then terror. "Oh god, Sora, where is Sora? He tried to jump up but as soon as he sat up he saw black spots and almost passed out again. Gripping Axel's arm tight he tried again to stand.
He gently held Roxas down, "Whoa Roxas, you need to stay where you are the ambulance is almost here. Riku is seeing to Sora, he's alive but he's pretty beat up and he's unconscious."
He struggled against Axel's restraining hands with what little strength he had left trying to get up. "I need to see him Axel. I need to see Sora for myself please let me up, please." Tears began falling from his panicked blue eyes and Axle's heart broke seeing the pain in them.
"How about a compromise, I'll carry you to him okay?"
"Okay please just, I need to be near him, hurry please." He pleaded.
Axel gently scooped Roxas in his arms and brought him to his brother as the ambulance pulled into the lot. "Here you go sweetness," he set him next to his brother's motionless body.
Roxas took one look at his brother and what little color he had drained from his face. His tears became steady streams down his face. "Sora!" He reached to pull him onto this lap but was stopped by Riku and Axel.
Axel wrapped his arms tightly around Roxas, "You can't move him Roxas. We don't know what types of injuries he has."
"Oh my God Sora no, no you have to be okay Sora! I can't lose you, not you, God not sweet Sora, you're part of me, Axel he has to be okay, he has to be!" Sobbing uncontrollably he looked at Riku noticing him for the first time and the sight made shivers run up his spine.
"Riku, they will pay. We will make sure of that but you need to pull it together for Sora. He needs positive energy to pull through." Axel cooed to his friend attempting to calm the fury he knew Riku was capable of when pushed too far.
Riku slowly looked up from Sora to Axel, he was on his haunches, his hands fisted in tight balls on his thighs. His body was trembling from the flood of emotions he is trying to hold in. His eyes a stormy green, the color before a tornado was about to hit. In a low voice his emotional struggle apparent in the strained words he began, "He hasn't moved, he's barely breathing Red. He's barely breathing. My love is lying broken because that fucking psycho. I want him to hurt, I don't want him dead. With death there is no suffering."
The paramedics reached them. "Please move sir I need to get to him. How long has he been unconscious?" The EMT looked at all three for the answer.
"We're not sure. He was unconscious when we got here about ten minutes ago." Axel offered.
"What happened to him, how did he get knocked out?" The EMT asked to no one in particular.
"He was kicked in the head. I think that may have been what knocked him out." Axel glanced at both Riku and Roxas and caught their horrified expressions. "It happened just as we pulled up. He didn't move to block the blow so I'm not sure if he was already out or if there was something else wrong."
"Oh my god Sora," Roxas wailed helplessly staring at his beloved brother as the EMT's brought the board to transport him to the gurney. Then put the brace around his neck to stabilize his head and neck, and carefully rolled him onto the board for transport. "Is he going to be alright?"
"I don't know but right now we have to get him to the hospital he has internal injuries and we don't know how bad he's bleeding. He's in shock and he has been unconscious for better then 15 minutes, we need to go now." the EMT patiently explained.
"Um he was out too when we got here." indicating Roxas.
"Why didn't any of you say anything? And why are you sitting up? Come on, get in the ambulance with us we will check you out on the way to the hospital."
Axel picked him up again and carried him to the ambulance. "Do you know where Sora's keys are honey?"
Sobbing quietly now he leaned over and pulled them out of Sora's left pocket right where he always put them. He said he did that because he always carried things with his right hand and he could grab his keys easily if they were in his left pocket. Roxas smiled at the memory of the conversation. He handed them to Axel, "You'll come to the hospital right?"
"Of course! I dare anyone to try to stop me." He smiled his I love you forever smile and kissed Roxas slow and sweet lips to lips. "I'll be right behind you."
"Okay, see you soon." Roxas said as the EMT closed the door.
Axel turned around and saw Riku standing in the middle of the lot staring after the ambulance. He looked like a warrior ready to begin the battle of his life and Axel supposed reality wasn't far from that. It seemed that somehow Sora had become his best friend's life just as Roxas had become his. He walked toward him trying to decide what to say. The short time that he had seen Roxas lying on the ground he had lost control. If Roxas hadn't moaned he would have not stopped attacking until everyone was dead, of that he was sure. So how could he tell Riku to calm down, or to relax? The thought would be comical if the situation wasn't so horrific. "Hey ready to go to the hospital?"
"It looked bad Axel. He looked so bad. Did you see how pale he looked? He was cold when I touched him. So cold, he never moved, never opened his eyes. God what if he never does again? What if those beautiful bright sparkling eyes never sparkle again? He didn't speak for a few moments he just stared at the spot where Sora had bled onto the pavement. "They need to pay for this Axel, Ventus, Xemnas, Saix, Aqua, they all need to pay." His eyes were back to storm green. "Not death though I want them to suffer. I want to ruin them."
"We will but right now we need to get to the hospital." This seemed to snap him out of his shock. His eyes came back to their normal aqua, he was seeing Axel finally. Relief flooded Axels mind he needed Riku sane if they were going to get through this. Encouraged he nudged Riku further. "So I guess I'll drive Sora's car then."
"No! I'll drive his car. Give me the keys."
"So you trust me with your baby?" Axel asked surprised.
"Sora is the only thing that matters and I don't want anything to happen to his car. So I'll sacrifice mine." Riku said as he grabbed the keys from Axel.
"Hey! I think you just insulted my driving."
"One should never be insulted by the truth." Riku shoots back with a little grin before getting into Sora's car.
Grumbling to himself, "Well at least he smiled a little, seriously there is nothing wrong with my driving. I have a Lamborghini; I know how to drive fast cars." He gets into the driver seat and heads for the lot exit. He reached for his phone as he pulled out of the lot and heard a horn. He slammed on the brakes he looked up to see a car inches from his. "Damn it anyway!" He made it to the hospital without further incident.
Axel walked into the emergency care waiting room to find Riku pacing and Roxas standing against the wall with his head leaning back his eyes closed tears streaming from their corners as they disappeared into his hair. He had an ugly bruise on his jaw from where he was struck but nothing else. Axel was so grateful for that fact he felt guilty for it considering the condition Sora was in. "Roxas?"
Roxas' eyes flew open and he flung his body off the wall and into Axel's arms and promptly began sobbing. Axel picked him up and walked to the couch, sat down setting Roxas on his lap. Roxas immediately wrapped his body around Axel's. He couldn't help the tear that fell from his eye. His heart was breaking for his sweet Roxas and there was nothing he could do right now to help him. So he sat there with him on his lap and let him cry himself out. Finally after what must have been thirty minutes his sobs subsided to whimpers.
"I should have protected him. He needed me to protect him and I failed. Oh god Axel if he dies it will be my fault it's already my fault he's here at all." Roxas' tears returned, streaming down his face again.
"Shh, shh, it's not your fault Roxas." He rocked him in his arms. "You were up against well trained fighters. You can't blame yourself for not being able to beat them."
He shook his head. "I didn't even get a chance to fight. Saix knocked me out with the first hit. I failed him, Sora is not a fighter I have always protected him and now when it really counted I couldn't."
"You're blaming yourself for something you had no control over." Axel spoke quietly. "Did you call your parents?
"Oh my god I didn't call my parents! I have to call them!" His crying became sobbing again. "I have to tell them that I let their son be hurt that I didn't protect him when he needed it."
"I'll call them." A cold flat voice said from the other side of the room.
"Riku, are you okay?" Axel asked. Hearing his voice made him look at his friend and take notice of his body language. He was pacing like a lion trapped in a cage ready to attack the first body that came near him.
He stopped pacing and looked at Axel. He looked as if he was on the edge of his sanity. As if one wrong word would set him off. His emotions were so contained he was trembling from the strain of it. Axel was torn between two people he loved, Roxas needed his comfort and Riku needed his strength and calm but both needed him.
"Riku?"
"What." calm, cold, dead, terrifying.
"I asked if you were okay." Axel repeated calmly.
"Oh yeah I'm just fucking fine Red. The man I love more than life itself is laying unconscious in a hospital because I waited too long to tell him what I knew. I fucked up and now Sora and his brother are paying for it. See this is why I don't fucking let myself care about people. I always fuck it up and they leave." He answered in the dead voice. "And why the fuck haven't they come out to tell us what is going on with him?" He said raising his voice, the lion was getting agitated, it wanted out of its cage.
Axel whispered to Roxas, "I need to see to him Honey he's in a bad way. Do you mind?"
Roxas must have sensed it because he was looking at Riku with apprehension. "No its okay, I'll call my Mom and Dad he sniffled."
"Thank you" He set Roxas on the couch and went over to Riku.
As he approached the tension in Riku's stance rose. "I said I was fine. Don't expect to make me feel better by sitting me on your lap and having you coo at me." He said with seething anger, fear, hatred, regret he couldn't tell there were so many emotions it was like he was having an eternal war and couldn't stop the chaos. Axel could literally see it in his eyes. Without stopping or saying a word he walked up to him and wrapped his arms around his friend. Riku stiffened at first then tried to get free but Axel held firm. Riku melted in his arms and began to silently cry into Axel's shoulder. They sank to the floor where Axel held his strong, virile, always in control, best friend as he sobbed on his shoulder.
Roxas hung up the phone and walked over to the two men on the floor. He did what his instinct told him to do. He sank to his knees, wrapped his arm around Riku and crawled onto Axel's lap. The three of them stayed on the floor like that Roxas and Riku crying both out of unfounded guilt and broken hearts and Axel's heart breaking for both of them. That is where they were when the doctor finally came in to tell them Sora's condition.
"Mr. Stryker?" the doctor asked tentatively.
Roxas jumped up and walked over to the doctor. "Yes that's me. How is my brother?"
Just then Mr. and Mrs. Stryker arrived. "How is he Doctor, how is my son?" Charlotte Stryker
"Well he's a fighter but I'm afraid it's not as good of news as we had hoped for." The Doctor started to say and Roxas' heart broke into a million pieces.
AN: Okay so I don't really like to leave cliffys but if I didn't this would have been a 14000 word chapter O.O. So a cliffy it is.
