EIGHT: Breathe again
_________________________

"Let's have a taste
of your nice little ass here, shall we?"
Sora only closed his
eyes, feeling all hope lost now. He was going to get gang-raped and no one
would hear nor come and save him from this cruel fate.
Four zippers slid open,
one by one and his heart stopped its frantic beating, seized with a nauseating
fear, his eyes flying open in shock.
Axel then bent over
again and pressed his lips against Sora's left ear, his voice low and barely
holding back his growing excitement. "I'll make you forget about that guy
you were looking for, rest assure. And if you co-operate, you might even like
it�" He chuckled in his ear, his hand crawling back around Sora's waist
and pressing against his lower belly, lifting his hips to allow him better
access.
Sora whimpered weakly
and closed his eyes, his body feeling completely limp, his only option bracing
himself for what was to come.
Two gunshots suddenly
went off in the silence of the frigid night.
"Shit!" The
redhead cursed underneath his breath, letting go of his prey and looking in
bewilderment in the direction of the heard shots.
Sora gasped in fright,
his eyes tightly shut once more. What was next? Some crazy guy with a gun,
shooting bullets all around them?
"Oh fuck, it's the
old man!" One of the other three whispered in an agitated voice, fumbling
with his pants while trying to run at the same time.
Sora's heart was racing
at 200 km an hour; his eyes wide open again at the sounds of nearing footsteps
and the recreant retreat of the four rapists.
"Next time I'll
make sure to blow your head off, you sick bastard!"
Sora was trembling now.
Not because of the cold, but because his body didn't seem to be able to take
the next overdose of fear. He felt his knees give out on his body as he tried
to push himself up against the car with his hands that were now free.
Another pair of cold
hands caught him before his body hit the snowy ground and instinctively, he
tried to wriggle away from them, whimpering cowardly not able to bear the
feeling of foreign hands on his body anymore.
"Hey! Hey kid! I
won't hurt you!" A gruff voice softly spoke to him, holding his hands
captive in one of his while taking off the gag keeping him from talking.
Sora only whimpered
now, tired of this, tired of people keeping him captive, not wanting to let him
go. "Please no... Let me go� Please�" He sobbed softly, shaking his
head desperately.
He was barely aware of
a warm coat that came to cover his still naked body parts and of those same
pair of cold hands lifting him up, carrying him back into the bar.
_________________________

"We're closed,
please come back tomor� Dad!" Roxas came from behind the bar with a
worried gaze as he saw his father walk inside the bar with a young man in his
arms that he recognised as the brunette that left just 5 minutes ago.
"What happened?" He questioned as Sora was put on a chair, his face
wet from tears. He was also trembling uncontrollably as he sat there with his
eyes closed.
"Roxas, go get a
warm blanket." The older man said, attending to Sora's state of shock.
Roxas nodded and hurriedly
disappeared behind the door at the back of the bar.
"Now kid,"
Roxas' father softly spoke towards Sora, avoiding any physical contact with the
brunette seen as it only seemed to upset him further. "What's your
name?"
Sora didn't answer and
shook his head, his tears continuously flowing down his cheeks. In his mind, he
couldn't shake the horrible feeling of those creeping hands all over his body.
Roxas came back with a
green woollen blanket and handed it over to his father, his eyes resting on
Sora with growing worry. "Dad, what happened? He left the bar only 5
minutes ago."
"What happened was
that you once again didn't listen to me, Roxas! You let that scum of
ex-boyfriend of yours into the bar, when I specifically asked you not to."
The older man calmly yet angrily spoke, putting the blanket over Sora's
shoulders.
"Dad, I�"
"We'll discuss the
matter later."
Roxas sighed in remorse
and nodded, looking at Sora with pained eyes. "Did he�?"
"No, he didn't. I
got there just in time." His father answered, smiling a little as he saw
Sora calm down a little. "Makes me wonder why a young boy like him was
doing wandering so far away from town."
Sora sighed, feeling
like he could trust these people, his fear subsiding little by little. He gave
the blonde man talking to him a small thankful smile, but didn't trust his
voice enough to speak. His eyes then met with the young man he had spoken to
before and could see the guilt he felt for what had nearly happened outside.
"His name is Sora,
dad." Roxas whispered, getting his father's attention. "He and his
boyfriend have been looking for each other all night and he came in just then
minutes after his boyfriend left."
His father glanced at
him questioningly.
"Don't ask; it's a
long story." Roxas said, giving Sora a small comforting smile.
"I need to find
him." Sora almost inaudibly whispered, already taking off the blanket from
his shoulders so he could stand.
Roxas' father shook his
head sternly and held him down by holding back his left hand. "What you
need is a good night of sleep after what almost happened to you out there.
Where do you live?"
Sora sat back down on
his chair, his fatigue coming through now that his fear had gone. He sighed in
realisation that he would have to spend another night without Riku by his side
and tried to fight back the upcoming tears again. "Snow Lake Hill."
He whispered, closing his eyes.
"Hn. I know the
man who owns that place." The blonde man said, sitting back in his chair,
eying Sora questioningly and lighting up a cigarette. "Sephiroth
Makoto."
Sora frowned slightly,
wondering how this man knew that the chalet on Snow Lake Hill was property of
the Makoto brothers.
"Who is he?"
Roxas wondered.
The other man huffed.
"He's only the most loaded son of a bitch in town right now. I'm surprised
he didn't tell me he was back." He then laughed and stood up, taking out
his portable out of the leather jacket he wore. "The bastard." He
pressed in a speed-dial and held the device against his right ear. "I'll
ask if he can come and pick you up, he's an old friend of mine, he knows the
place."
As he walked over to
the back of the bar to make the phone call, Roxas sat himself on the seat his
father had previously sat on. "Feel a little better?" He asked the
brunette with a soft smile.
Sora averted his eyes
before closing them. "I've felt better�"
Roxas nodded in
understanding and sighed. "I'm sorry for what happened to you out
there."
Sora looked at him for
a few moments, not knowing what to say to him exactly. Roxas wasn't really to
blame for what his ex-boyfriend did, right? He shouldn't be beating himself up
over something he didn't cause. "I'm just grateful your dad was there
before those guys had their way with me�" He took a breath and closed his
eyes again.
"Mm." Roxas
nodded again, slightly feeling more at ease now, though he still couldn't shake
the feeling that it somehow was his fault.
"There, it's done
kiddo. He's coming to pick you up." Roxas' father said, walking back into
the room. "It looks like you caused quite a commotion with your little
disappearing act."
"Thank you, sir.
For everything. "Sora softly said, bending his head in gratitude.
"Just call me Cid,
kid. Besides, it was the least I could do to keep that low-life from attacking
you." Cid replied, crossing his arms over his chest. "That Axel has
taken it too far this time�"
Sora nodded, his eyes
turning to Roxas still sitting on the chair next to him. There was a silent
sadness and hidden pain in the eyes he had directed to the floor. It was
obvious that Roxas still had feelings for Axel. Yet that wasn't a reason to
forgive what the guy did. "Ok, thank you Cid."
"It's alright, my
boy." He gruffly spoke, taking another drag from his cigarette. "But
just out of curiosity, what's your relation to Makoto anyways?"
"Riku, his brother
is� was my boyfriend. We were spending our winter holidays here." Sora
whispered, trying to ignore the sting he felt in heart because of the use of
the past tense in his words.
"Oh�" Cid
nodded. "I see." He didn't need a sketched out picture of what
happened between him and his boyfriend and now he understood better what had
driven him outside at this late hour. "Sometimes, the best way to find
back what has been lost is to just wait for it to come back again."
He gave Sora a
comforting smile and the brunette could feel a surge of hope inside of him,
making him return the smile. Someone had told him something similar a couple of
days ago and it had proven itself to be true�

Maybe everything wasn't lost just yet.

_________________________

All lights in the chalet
were out by the time Sephiroth's silver Mercedes drove up the driveway and came
to a stop in front of the house.
Sora got out of the
car, but couldn't seem to be able to take another step.
Cloud and Sephiroth had
come to get him, Cloud had driven his own car back to the chalet and Sora had
taken the passenger seat in Sephiroth's.
While Cloud had gone
straight back to the chalet, Sephiroth had taken Sora to the nearest police
office to file a complaint against those who had assaulted him. It had been emotionally
hard on him to bring up all of these events again, especially after it only
happened a few hours back, but Sora had wanted it to be done and over with. He
had only wanted to get back into his bed and forget it ever happened. Forget
that the last two days ever happened.
Yet there he stood,
looking at his feet, unable to take another step. He had told himself that he
wouldn't let his mind take him to what he was thinking now. And yet, there he
was, thinking it.
It was all Riku's
fault.
No matter how much he
didn't want to think of him that way, he just couldn't. It was his fault that
he had been such a wreck because he broke up with him; it was his fault that he
had left the house in the middle of the night to go look for him. It was his
fault he went into that bar, his fault he almost�
"Let's get inside,
Sora." Sephiroth's gentle voice spoke to him before he heard the door of
the driver's seat fall shut and the car beeping twice as the alarm got enabled.
He hadn't told
Sephiroth or Cloud anything, he hadn't even said a word to them the whole time.
His desire to see Riku had now melted like snow before the sun, the feelings of
hope he had had for their reconciliation now almost gone. The mere thought of
Riku right now just made his stomach turn over.
As soon as Sephiroth
closed the door of the house behind them as they walked in, a lamp in the
lounge room got lit up and they both saw Riku walk up to them in the welcoming
hall.
"Baby you're
alright?" He asked, embracing Sora tightly. "I was so worried about
you!" He whispered against his right cheek, his voice thick from the tears
of relief he was holding back.
Sora didn't say
anything, nor did he return the embrace, his eyes emotionlessly fixed on the
lamp in the living room behind Riku. Even though he could feel his body warm
against his, all he could think about was the frigid cold of his own body and
about keeping himself from gagging at the nauseating stench of alcohol
emanating from Riku. So all he had needed was a drink to figure out that he
actually hadn't wanted to break up with him? He had probably thought that Sora
would be crying in bed all day long, hadn't he? Of course, poor, over-emotional
Sora would just wait for him, like some kind of loyal dog, like he always did.
Sora slowly dragged his
eyes away from the lamp to look at Riku as he let go of him and without saying
anything, he simply turned and walked up the stairs.

Sora was now heaving
over the toilet, his tears of deception and pain flowing down the long his
cheeks, his hands trembling as he wiped his mouth off with the back of his
right one. Breathing heavily as he simply sat there for a few moments, feeling
shaky all over and weak, he then flushed the toiled and pulled himself up by
the sink, his legs refusing to support his weight.
The reflection of his
face in the mirror looked pale and exhausted, but he couldn't think of sleep
right now, he wanted to scrub off those hands that had crawled all over his
body, groped and touched places only the one he loved had ever seen, taking
away the aspect of intimacy and replacing it by a shame so ardent it was barely
manageable. Each time he closed his eyes he could still hear their voices and
feel the angst creeping up his spine.
He forced himself to
stop thinking about it and took a deep breath, looking at himself in the mirror
while wiping away the tears that had almost dried up on his cheeks. He was
safe, back at the chalet and soon he would take the train back to DC and pack
his stuff so he could stay at his mother's place on Destiny Island for a couple
of days. He didn't want to face Riku anymore, he couldn't handle it right now
and didn't think he ever would again
Closing footsteps
sounded in the room next to his and he turned his head to the door he had left
open.
"Are you
alright?" Riku whispered, walking inside the bathroom, his face set on
worry.
"Peachy."
Sora whispered back faking a brief smile before taking his sweater off. He was
just fine, he just broke up with the only person he had ever loved, spent half
of the night searching for him in the cold and barely escaped from being
gang-raped. Of course he was alright.
Just peachy.
Sora took off his boots
and socks without glancing at Riku still standing there. "Would you mind
getting out? You don't get to see anymore."
"Oh." Riku
said softly, slightly taken aback, turning around. "Sure." The pain
from before was still there in Sora's voice and he couldn't blame him, he
understood. He had a lot of wrongs to set right.
With his forehead he
rested against the closed door of the bathroom, the sound of water splashing
against the tiles playing behind it, keeping him from what he held dearest in
the entire world. Barely 2 meters separated them, and yet it seemed like half
the world was standing in between.
He knew that deep
inside, Sora needed him in there, but that he had lost all privileges when he
ended their relationship. Being graced by his presence was one of those he lost
as well and it made him want him back all the more. He wanted another chance,
he needed another chance.
He just couldn't let
Sora go like this.
_________________________

Sora opened the door of
the bathroom and stepped out fully dressed in a clean outfit, ignoring Riku
sitting at the end of the king-size bed.
"Sora, we need to
talk." Riku spoke gently, watching as Sora took out his travelling bag
from the bottom of their closet and laid it on his side of the bed.
"I thought we were
all talked out?" Sora indifferently said, now walking to the dresser at
the other side of the room and opening the top drawer to take out his underwear.
"No we
aren't." Riku whispered, standing now. "I made a big mistake. I can't
let you go."
Sora only smirked and
walked back to the bed with a pile of underwear in his arms. "Jeez Riku,
you almost sound like you mean it." He mockingly said, dropping the
clothes in the bag and turning to the closet again.
"I do mean it! I'm
being dead-serious!" Riku spoke pleadingly, moving to stand in between the
bed and Sora. "I love you, please don't go."
The brunette sighed and
closed his eyes, letting go of the pair of pants he had wanted to grab off a
shelf. "Riku, the entire day I've hoped for you to return to me, tell me
that you love me like you just did. But you know what?" He whispered and
turned to face him with an angry stare. "Maybe it's time I woke up from
this dream I was forcing myself to dream, maybe it all just doesn't matter
anymore to me!"
He walked back into the
bathroom to take the stuff he still had in there.
Riku shook his head in
disbelieve, not understanding Sora anymore. "How can you say that?"
He whispered, following him into the bathroom. "What about everything
we've been through? It all matters to me, you know? It does matter!"
Sora didn't answer but
just walked passed him again, dropping the stuff he had retrieved from the
bathroom in his bag and taking out the rest of his clothes and his beige
leather trench coat from the closet.
"Sora
please," Riku whispered, standing behind him when he had dropped his
clothes in the bag as well and zipped it closed. "You matter too
much to me. I had lost sight of that because I was afraid of losing you in the
first place." He placed his hands on Sora's shoulders as he saw him sigh
and bend his head. "I thought that I wouldn't be able to give you what you
needed anymore. I just� chickened out� I� I'm sorry."
Sora closed his eyes
and let go of the bag now, turning around to face Riku, shaking his head.
"Don't give me that shit about how much I matter to you. If I did, you
wouldn't have broken up with me in the first place!"
Riku closed his eyes
and sighed. "I know� But that's why I want to try again and don't fuck
this up this time." He looked at Sora, wanting him to feel the sincerity
of his words. "I want to be that Riku again, the one you fell in love with...
the one that used to make you happy."
Sora turned his head
away and crossed his arms over his chest, scoffing. "Do you think this is
some kind of a game? Some kind of twisted play?" He asked, looking at him
again and chuckling coldly.
Riku frowned and
started to shake his head at the vicious words coming from him, seeing the
seething anger in those ocean blue orbs that once only shone brightly with
happiness and love. "Sora�" He started, trying to find a little spark
of those emotions in his eyes.
Sora pointed at him
accusingly, a sneer of utter disgust on his face. "You break up
with me and expect me to take you back? Just like that?
Because you're sorry?!" The tone of his voice was slightly rising with
each word as he spoke, his anger because of what Riku did to him and because of
what nearly happened coming to the surface. There was no way he would go
through the pain of a shattered heart and an emotional abuse again.
"You've played me for a fool before, but this time I'm not taking the
bait." He whispered, staring him dead in the eye and shaking his head.
"I'm taking the next train home. I'm going back to DI." He looked at
him one last time before turning, putting his trench coat over the his white
turtle neck sweater and grabbing his bag from the bed.
"What?!" Riku
softly said, the shock of the news taking his voice away. He could barely
believe what he had just heard. "But Sora�"
"We're
through." Was all Sora calmly said, shaking his head in a definite manner.
"You've made yourself clear the first time, there's nothing else we need
to discuss."
He walked out of the
door and exited, leaving Riku on his own in the room.
_________________________

After Sora�s footsteps reached the last step at the
bottom of the stairs, silence engulfed the house. Riku was shocked.
What the hell just
happened? What the HELL just happened?!
He simply stood there, still unable to grasp what was
going on, this was absolutely not what he had planned to happen. He had wanted
them to be happy again, for them to be able to be together again. Wasn�t this
the right way to do it? Riku then proceeded to sit on his bed, feeling his
heart being taken over by a feeling of pain and emptiness.
This wasn�t right� What
could he possibly have done wrong�?
He began to stare at the ceiling, recollecting his
thoughts, contemplating what he could do� Sora was leaving him� That was when
that fact truly sunk in. He had really fucked up this time, he had broken up
with Sora with intentions to not harm him and separate himself from him� And
yet that was exactly what he had done.
No! He couldn't let this
happen!
But what could he do?
Nothing.
Riku sighed, temporarily breaking the silence that had
filled the room.
The door then suddenly creaked open and without a
thought, he sat up and looked at the door. �Babe?� he asked with eagerness and
enthusiasm in his voice, but soon his expression turned into one of disgust. �Oh,
it�s just you��
�Yes. Me.� Sephiroth�s cool voice replied, almost
sounding bored.
�What do you want?� Riku asked him abruptly, not
feeling in the mood to deal with his brother as well as what had just happened
between Sora and him.
�I�ve come to offer my services. Seen as you obviously
need it.� The older man stated, taking a few steps closer to Riku.
Riku then scoffed and crossed him arms around his
chest, �Your �services� are not required. Now get out.�
Sephiroth didn't move as he stood there in front of
him with an unreadable expression on his face. �Wasn't that Sora I saw walking
out of here with his baggage?� He then crossed his arms over his chest and gave
Riku a stern look. �Did he tell you what almost happened tonight?� Sephiroth said.
�Do you know what he had to go through?�
Riku frowned and looked up at his brother. "What
do you mean?" He had this sinking feeling in his stomach all of a sudden.
"Trust me, Riku." Sephiroth softly spoke,
taking Riku's coat that was lying beside him on the bed. "You don't want
to let Sora walk out of your door again. He needs you right now, more than you
know." He held out Riku's coat while looking at his watch. "He may
not be too far yet, but we need to go right now."
Riku grabbed his coat out of his brother's hand and
stood, taking a step away from him. "I'm not going anywhere with you. Tell
me first what happened to Sora!"
Taking out a piece of folded paper out of the right
hand pocket of his coat, Sephiroth then handed it to him reluctantly.
"It's the copy of the complaint Sora filed tonight against those who
assaulted him."
"Sora got assaulted?!" Riku exclaimed,
taking the paper out of Sephiroth's hand. He let his eyes scan over the words
Sora had written down and he could feel his eyes water up. By the time he had
finished it, he was holding his right hand over his mouth in utter shock.
"Oh my god�! Sora�"
"Let's go." Sephiroth said, walking to the
door.
Riku nodded, following his brother out of the room.
_________________________

Christmas songs were echoing through the speakers in
the large station hall, the atmosphere far from merry from Sora's perspective
on a bench right in front of the timetable. The clock on top of it read 5.47 am, the
first train scheduled for DC leaving at 6.08 am. He still had a good twenty
minutes to kill and so he patiently sat on the bench yawning tiredly, his eyes
closed. He bent over and passed with his hands over his face, trying to get
himself to stay awake when something flashed brightly in the corner of his left
eye. He turned his head and saw the silver bracelet he wore on his left wrist.
It had been a gift from Riku from when they had just gotten together.
He had been wearing it for so long now, never had he
taken it off since Riku first put it on. He studied it silently; wondering what
would've got happened if he and Riku hadn't gotten together. Where would they
be at now?
Riku would've probably gotten himself a girlfriend by
now.
Despite the situation and now that his initial anger
was gone, Sora could feel a small smile coming up his face at that thought,
because he knew, deep inside, that things wouldn't have got gone that way. Riku
had always been there, right from the start, right from when they met, their
friendship had grown from then on and simply turned into something more. They
hadn't pushed it, it just happened. And right after they had shared the heat of
their hidden lusts, they immediately knew.
It had been love. All along.
Even now, despite the fact that he was ready to leave,
he still felt it. He didn't want to go, but some things, he knew, weren't meant
to be. If it didn't work, there simply wasn't any use forcing it.
Love between 2 people wasn't supposed to become a one
way track with time�
He sighed and looked up to check the clock. There was
still 15 minutes left before his train was to leave.
Sora stood and decided to go to the restrooms at the
other side of the station's main hall, rolling his travel bag behind him as he
went.
His footsteps echoed through the abandoned hall, the
station nearly deserted at such an early hour.
Washing his hands in one of the sinks in front of the
large mirror now, his mind went wandering towards Riku again and the things he
had said earlier. Even if they were all true, he just did not feel ready to
give his heart to him again. He needed time and then, maybe he would� they
could try again, but not now.
He splashed some water on his face and his heart froze
as he looked at his reflection in the mirror.
That malicious face, red hair and the strange
diamond-shaped tattoos on his cheekbones�
Axel was standing right behind him.
In an instinct he made a move for the door, but a
strong hand held him back by his throat, pulling him against a strong chest.
Sora opened his mouth to scream, but he had barely
made a sound when he felt a knife being held against his throat again.
"Shh� just be quiet, pretty." Axel
whispered, looking at the both of them in the mirror. "I've finally found
you. Aren't you happy to see me?"
Sora fought back against him, kicking with his legs,
desperately trying to get free. He didn't need to relive the nightmare again.
With a grunt and a gasp from Sora, Axel pushed him
with his back against a wall, smirking as he saw him hitting the back his head
hard against the white tiles of the wall.
Sora opened his eyes again, his vision a little blurry
from the hit he had gotten to his head. Tears ran the long his cheeks as he
realised that he couldn't escape from what was coming to him this time.
And it didn't look like Axel was going to let him go
after he was done with him.
"Why are you crying, pretty? We didn't even begin
anything." The redhead spoke with a malicious grin, sliding the blade down
the coat Sora was wearing and skilfully cutting off the buttons and through the
knot in its belt.
Sora didn't dear to move, but he couldn't control the
trembling of his body. He closed his eyes as he felt a cold hand tugging at the
button of his pants. Why was this happening again? Why him?
"Sorry for the interruption earlier, I can
guarantee you that it won't happen again." Axel's lips were brushing
against Sora's left cheek, making him whimper at the shivers that run down his
spine. He tried to blink away his tears, wanting his heart to calm down a
little so he could maybe think of a way out of this, and not trying to think of
all the thoughts of panic that were screaming in his head.
"Please�" He mumbled, underneath the hand
covering his mouth. "Please don't�"
The redhead gave him a smirk before his hand disappeared
into Sora's boxers, making Sora sob in desperation. He then laughed at that
reaction, pressing a wet kiss on Sora's left cheek. "Please what? 'Don't
fuck me?'" He whispered, mimicking Sora's frightened voice. He laughed
again before groaning when he pressed himself closer to the brunette's groin.
"I would think that a whore like you who's about to get a special
treatment from 4 guys would be more enthusiastic�"
W-what?
Sora's breath chocked in his throat as he saw the door
open itself, as if on cue, and the three other gang member strolling into the
restroom.
"We made sure no one will come in here and
disturb us�" A blonde haired guy spoke as he approached and started to
unbutton his jean with a hungry eye on the now downright panicking Sora.
"Then let's get this party started." Axel
chuckled towards Sora before grabbing him by his collar and throwing him on the
floor in front of his friends.
Sora landed on his back and in the second he tried to
crawl away from them, they closed in on him, blocking any escape route.
"You guys are sick�"
They all laughed, the sound like rumbling thunder,
nearly paralyzing him with another dose of fear.
Then, without any warning, one of them took his feet
and held them up, making him slide over the floor kicking and screaming in
fright. "No!"
"Hey, someone shut him up!" The one holding
his feet said, now tossing one of Sora's ankle boots somewhere behind him.
A pair of hands grabbed his wrists and with some
struggle, managed to pin them far above his head. Then it was Axel's face that
appeared in front of Sora's before a large strip of duct tape came to cover his
mouth.
He couldn't move and no one would hear him call for
help.
_________________________

With his heart beating anxiously in his chest, Riku
got out of Sephiroth's car and ran towards the eastern entrance of Crystle's
Central Station.
He was all the more determined to have his Sora back
now that he understood why he had acted the way he did earlier. This time he
wanted to have a fair chance at explaining his feelings.
The main hall was abandoned as both of them entered
it, the large timetable indicating that the next train for DC was to leave
within 10 minutes on platform 7.
"I'll go check on platform 7." Sephiroth
said, running off in the said direction.
Riku looked around again; his mind wondering where
could've gone because he had seen their dark blue, mini SUV parked right in
front of the station.
It was in that precise moment that he heard something
shattering in the distance. He turned his head to the sound and found himself
looking at the men's lavatory. He frowned and started to walk in that direction
before breaking into a run when he heard a distinctive voice calling out for
help from behind the door.
It was a voice he knew very well and it sounded
frightened.
It was Sora.
And he was in danger.
_________________________

The mirror had shattered into a million pieces after
one of the men had tried to hit him with one of his own shoes. Sora now
struggled to get away from the pair of hands that had flown to his throat
again, pressing up against the wall; his feet desperately kicking as the tips
of his shoeless feet were trying to touch the ground.
"Let me go�!" Sora whimpered, holding on to
the hands closing around his throat, taking away his air.
"Stupid bitch! That hurt!" Axel hollered in
Sora's left ear, a slight bruise starting to form on his right cheek. He then
turned to look at one of his friends who was holding on to his crotch. It was
the same guy that had held Sora's legs earlier. "You alright,
Seifer?"
The blonde only whimpered and sat himself down on the
floor, still holding on to his crotch with a beet red face.
"Worthless piece of shit!" Axel whispered,
looking at Sora again who was slowly suffocating in his grip. He then let go of
him and slapped him in his face, making the brunette fall against the wash
table, tasting blood in his mouth.
Sora then got pulled by his hair and the sharp side of
a blade was pressed against his exposed throat, drawing blood.
"I should just finish you off right now, what do
you think?" Axel angrily whispered in one of his ears, pressing the blade
closer to Sora, red drops of blood rolling down his throat.
"Please, no�" Sora pleadingly whimpered,
closing his eyes, knowing this would be it.
The door behind them then suddenly flew open.
"Get your fucking paws off of him!"
Axel turned around, still holding Sora close to him,
wanting to face the one disturbing him so impolitely. "And who the fuck
are you?"
Riku took a step forwards but stopped when one of the
other guys came to stand right in front of him with a sneer on his face.
"Riku!" Sora sobbed, shaking his head. The
odds on this one weren't good. Riku had no chance to win, no matter how agile
and strong he was. It was going to be an unfair fight.
Another guy stepped behind Riku and Riku ducked,
escaping the blade that had been ready to strike him and gave him a blow to his
stomach with his right elbow before turning and delivering another blow with
his left elbow to the guy standing in front of him and an uppercut to the guy
who had tried to knife him.
Axel fastened his grip on Sora's throat as Riku now
turned to him, making the brunette give a pained and terrified sob. "Take
another step and I'll slice him open."
Riku halted; his eyes on Sora's crying ones, unsure of
what to do. "You're a fucking coward, you know that?" He disdainfully
said.
Axel only smirked, his green eyes rolling towards a
point behind Riku.
Sora gasped, but it was too late. "Riku, behind
you!"
Before Riku could begin to turn around, he got held
captive by his arms so he couldn't offer much resistance when the one Axel
called by the name of Seifer stood and punched him hard in his stomach.
"No!" Sora cried out, wanting to run to him,
but feeling the knife cutting in his skin reminding him of his captive state.
"Please stop!" He whimpered, closing his eyes at the hits Riku
received on his abdomen and face.
Riku fell to the floor when they let go of him,
breathing heavily, his lower lip bleeding and right jaw bruised.
"Riku�!" Sora fought against Axel's grip,
seeing the one that had held Riku captive now bending over and taking a knife
out of one of his pockets. "You bastards! Stop it!"
"Shhh�" Axel mockingly whispered in Sora's
left ear, brushing a few of his brown locks out of his wet face. "It'll be
quick and maybe he won't even feel the pain�"
"Riku get up please!" Sora sobbed, shaking
his head as he couldn't do anything else than watch how Riku got pulled by his
hair and how the knife went around his neck�
The door opened again, this time letting Sephiroth in.
He only needed one glance to understand what was going
on and a minute later, Axel was the only one of his gang still standing. All
others were either moaning in pain or trying to crawl towards the door.
"Let him go, Axel." Sephiroth coolly spoke.
"Don't make me waste my energy on you."
Axel gritted his teeth now, realising that there was
not going to be an easy escape. "I'll kill him. You just take another step
and I'll slice his throat." He approached the knife to Sora's Adam's
apple. Sora whimpered again.
"No you won't." Sephiroth calmly said,
taking a step closer. "Let him go." He sternly repeated. "Let
him go and you can walk out of here without getting your ass kicked like your
cowering friends over there."
The redhead scoffed. "You think I'm afraid of
you?"
"Just let him go and walk out of here."
Sephiroth once again said.
Riku groaned as he woke from his unconscious state,
opening his eyes and seeing his brother standing in front of him, talking to
the redhead who still held Sora captive. He pushed himself up by his hands and
moved his right leg so he could start to stand, wincing at the sore muscles in
his abdomen and in his left arm. Riku finally managed to stand and locked eyes
with Sora who, even though was being held captive, still found it in his heart
to smile in relief at him. He could feel the pain and the angst in those large
depths of blue, yet he knew the brunette long enough to know that even when
taken over by fear, he wouldn't let that stop him to get free.
And right now, that was the exact type of
determination Riku read in Sora's eyes.
Taking advantage of Axel's inattention to him, Sora
hit him in his stomach with his right elbow, pushing the right arm away from
his face and running into Riku's awaiting arms.
"You little bitch!" The redhead managed to
whimper out in pain, doubling over and holding on to his stomach.
"Walk out, Axel. It's over." Sephiroth
calmly spoke.
Axel only gave him a glare before limping away from
the trio, making sure to cast a dirty smile Sora's way while passing.
Sora only buried his face in the crook of Riku's left
shoulder and closed his eyes.
"You're just going to let him go?!" Riku
unbelievingly asked, still holding Sora protectively against him.
"Don't worry." Sephiroth spoke, turning
around and facing the young couple with a small smile. "They should be
getting a warm welcome from a very special committee right about now." He
chuckled slightly and Riku smiled back.
Sephiroth then turned to Sora. "Are you alright?
Sora nodded and smiled. "Yes, thank you."
"Great stunt you pulled." Sephiroth winked
at him before walking past them and exiting to go talk to the police outside.
Riku now let go of Sora and they simply stared at each
other for a few seconds. Riku then bit his lower lip, insecure of what to say
next. "I think you missed your train�"
Sora smiled at him and bit his lower lip. "There'll
be other ones�" He whispered softly, cupping Riku's face in his right
hand, wiping the little blood that had smeared itself out on one corner of his
mouth. Sora then looked up into Riku's disappointed face. "But I can't go
back home anymore because you had to go and get yourself beaten up. Now I have
to stay and take care of you."
Riku chuckled and brushed a few strands out of Sora's
face, his expression softening when Sora closed his eyes at his touch and one
tear rolled out of his right eye. "Sora, I love you�"
"I know." Sora whispered, taking hold of
Riku's hand, pressing a kiss in its centre. "I know and I love you
too." He opened his eyes and looked up at him.
A few tears escaped from Riku's eyes as well and he
bit his lower lip to prevent himself from sobbing at the immense feeling of
relief that washed over him.
Sora chuckled, sniffling as Riku approached him,
letting their lips meeting each other in a deep, loving kiss.
_________________________

I have a poll for you guys out there; I need to make
out which couple should have a kitchen-sex scene in the next chapter.
-Riku & Sora: if they have this scene, it'll be
the second one for that chapter, meaning that they'll have two sex scenes.
-Leon & Cloud: if they have this scene, it'll be
sweet and tender lovemaking, reinforcing the feelings of Cloud's guilt and
making him confess what he did behind Leon's back.
-Sephiroth & Cloud: if they have this scene, it'll
only be to reinforce the feelings of Cloud's guilt and pushing him to make a
choice between Sephiroth and Leon.

�Kairi has an announcement to make, wonder how
everyone will react?
�Do you think we have seen the last of Axel?

Vote & Review to find all of these things out.

To be continued�
