Of Fairytales and Blood Bonds

[Reno]

The wolf was lost, gone. His mind felt like it had been disconnected again but this time it was slower to reconnect. It king mickey found out about this he'd be stabbed. If Bryna and sirocco found out about this he's be shoot. if Sora and roxas found out about this he'd be slaughtered. It Riku and Axel found out about this... he'd probably just be embaressed.

But all he really saw right now was the Shee below him, body begging for him to touch him and finish off this beatiful torturous game.

Terra's eyes flashed at the other's words and he broke away from his sucking to nuzzle the other, purring softly in his ear. "But it'll feel so good." He brushed his lips agaisnt the trembling adam's apple, sucking down softly when he found the pulse point, feeling it fluttering rapidly.

His other hand joined his first, but this one tugged down the blonde's baggy pants and boxers just enough for the other's member to be freed. His fingers wrapped around it and started to stroke. His thumb fingered with the slit, trying to catch some precome. He strangly... really wanted to taste it.


While stealing the scrolls Roxas had to keep himself from laughing as his hands piled up with them. He had to hand it to Axel, he might be an imp but he was one very creative one. Besdies according to the trouble-making red-head 'stealing the normal way is getingt booooring. We need to spice it up some!'

But as it was, the job was done.

Roxas at current was watching the very itneresting twists and turns of the ink flying in the air, a dance like nothing he'd ever seen before. But could anyone really blame his fascination? One year ago, stuff like this was all a dream, but thanks to Axel magic and mystery and wodnerment like this was almost an everyday occurence... and somehow it still hadn't got boring.

He was surprised at how at peace the blonde appeared. If there was one thing he could seem to connect himself with to the insane gypsy was... that music was the element of peace. Singing may have been nerve-wracking for him, but it was also one hell of a stress reliever and a creative outlet during hard times. His brothers told him he soemtimes even 'hid' behind his lyrics - letting no emotion touch him at all while it spilled out onto the pages. But... he had never looked so at ease as demyx did right then and there.

That ease was quickly wiped away when a booth suddenly went aflame. Even Roxas jumped, but the echoing cries and screams of fear, including Demyx's were easily heard over his yelp of surprise.

The spell had broken and the dye had spilled to the floor, coating it in a rainbow of colors. The blonde was just staring at the fire, eyes wide and terror all over his face. Too scared to move.

Roxas frowned, then slowly glanced towards the angry-looking red-head which was slowly turning to a satisfied smirk and his supicion grew to certainty. "Axel!" He snapped chastisedly at the imp. "Why'd you do that?!?"


"Hmm?" He hummed back. "Oh it's okay Riku, they're just things. I don't need them to be happy. I can always replace em when i got back home. Besides... I sorta had a feeling sometime during this trip I'd lose em so I always carried the important stuff on me." He looked at himself, touching the hilt of his sword, then the necklace. "Sword and necklace." He then patted the pocket of his pants. "Picture of my family." Then he opened up his coat, where he had slipped in a ltitle book. "My logbook." then he poked Riku's cheek. "And you! See everything important is here. course mom would say I shoulda thrown a sweater and a toothbrush in my back pocket too but I don't think that woulda been comfortable."

He laughed softly, taking Riku's hand and tugging him forward. "Come on let's explore our new home!" He didn;t seem sad at all that he lost the ship, but this was pirate world. Ships like they were built, also got lost. Besides if that ship really was the girl's father's then she had all rights too it.

This one was smaller and sleeker then the last ship surprisingly. Which amde it a little more convenient. He and Riku hadnlt needed all that space before and it had been mroe troublesome then anything taking care of it all. And even if it wasn't that rgeat well... he and Riku could steal a new one.

[Rikugurl]

Ven continued to shake as he laid on the wooden floor. Sex education started at he age of sixteen on Akbar. Luckily, they didn't have such viruses as aids and other diseases. The only thing the Akbartians needed condoms for was for pregnancy... but it was very important. It wasn't the school's job to teach kids about the birds and the bees either. That was the parent's job.

Well... they didn't exactly have parents to teach them now.

Ven... had no idea what was going on.
His toes automatically curled as he panted, his eyes becoming wide as he heard his guardian purr in his ear. It..... did feel good.
"Ah....ahh!" His body trembled more as he felt the cool air of the house run over and... "N-no...!" He blushed more as the man started to stroke the pulsing member.
Blue eyes looked over the brown hair that was engulfing his neck. He panted as he saw something.... odd. His... member looked different! The head was now exposed... and dripping with something...


Axel watched, seeing the blonde scared to death. An impish grin ran over his face but suddenly his mouth opened as Roxas started to yell at him. His eyes became sad and he frowned. "But... but.... I...." He sighed and snapped his fingers, the fire suddenly going out and smoke bellowed out of it.
He snapped his fingers once more and he disappeared in a cloud of red smoke.

The red smoke burst out behind the gypsy and Axel put his hands on his hips. "What are you trying to do!?" When he caught Demyx's attention, he frowned. "My master is the best musician in this palace town! You got that!? Stop trying to show off!"


Riku tilted his head as he heard the upbeat voice of the brunette. He should of figured as much. He blushed as Sora poked his cheek. "I see you're not so hard to please." He smiled but yelped as his hand was taken and he was pulled around. He wasn't familiar with this ship... so it was best Sora brought him around. They went into the belly of the ship and looked around. From Sora's description, it was pretty bare. It seemed the lass only bought it to get the other ship back. Maybe that ship really was her father's or something.

Riku felt around and grinned. "Well, the good news is... there's a lot of food here... and it's pretty fresh."

[Reno]

A second hand lifted, gathering up a little of the precome. Terra unburied his head from the blonde's neck, bringing his hand close and sticking the fingers in his mouth. He drank the little bit of liquid down, humming appreciatively. Yeah it tasted real good. His eyes got a shade darker as he licked his lips, his hand still pumping the member in his hand leisurely.

Stormy blue eyes looked down at the other before he grinned, lifting himself up and sidled down inbetween the other's legs. He licked at the tip taking another taste before he closed his lips around the member and sucked.


Demyx blinked confusedly when the fire just... poofed out of existence, but gave a yelp when suddenly someone very angry was right behind him, giving him whatfor. The little gypsy looked back at the other, eyes wide with terror. Wait... did that mean he wasn't allowed to...

"B-But..."

He frowned suddenly, then stood up, not looking too happy. "L-Listen you!" He said, pointing his finger out towards Axel right at his nose but thankfully he was smart enough not to actually touch him. He could however feel the ehat rediating off him, like an oven really. He would have looked brave if his arm wasn;t shaking. But at least his eyes looked determined. "I promised to play ajd that's what i'm doing. but you... y-you aren't gonna tell me NOT to. Y-Ya hear? Music's my life! And if i get cursed for that then... I figure it's worth it!"

Roxas sat down on the roof, legs swinging over the edge as he watched the blonde stick up for himself. It seemed he had a ltitle spunk somewhere in him. Roxas smirked. What will Axel do now?


Sora smiled looking around. "Yeah we can probably stay on the sea for a ltitle longer." He responded. they had the improtant things. ammo, food and water. "Then again I don;t really have any clothes..." He thought about that and an idea his him making him chuckle. "Then again I could be walking around naked and you'd never know." He teased to Riku.

The brunette yawmed a bit, strectching out his arms. "So, you can't dance?" He asked curiously, already slipping back into their previous conversation as if they hadn't just lost their ship and all their things. Sora would lead a fairly simple life it appeared. He wouldn't need much to be happy. Whoever caught him was gonna save a fortune.

[Rikugurl]

Loud panting and bright red cheeks looked up at Terra as the dark, stormy eyes looked down at him. He gasped as he saw the grin and swallowed. What.... what was he going to do.

When Terra moved down, the boy's cheeks grew more red. "Ah! N-no.... Terra.... s-st-stop!" He moaned as his legs were shifted and the man sat between them. More of his bottoms were pulled off and a tongue swiped over, making the boy arch his back. He closed his eyes tightly, tear starting to run down the side of his face as he covered his mouth with both hands.

Shee semen actually did have some power to it. It was Shee DNA after all. It wasn't even close to the power in their blood... but it would be enough for someone searching for power.


Axel blinked as the other pointed his finger... AT HIS FACE. NO ONE POINTED THERE FINGER AT HIS FACE.
He growled as his green eyes narrowed, fire crackling in them.
"How dare you!" Black nails curled to make a fist and suddenly, a ring of fire wrapped around him.

The fire burned wildly as it covered the redhead, the crackling raging out.
As sudden as the flames came... they dispersed.
However, the imp's looks... had changed dramatically.

He no longer wore a shirt, his bare chest exposed. Now long black horns that came from his forehead cured upwards towards the sky as larger black wings flapped behind him. He no longer wore pants either... but instead, red fur covered his lower half as if he was a faun. Black hoofs dug into the sand as the skinny devil tail remand. His black nails were now longer and sharper, green eyes more exotic than before.

"There will be one week until the concert and you cannot play for the public before then. Understand... or do you have something ELSE to say?"


Riku blinked but couldn't help but chucking about the naked comment. That was true... but it still made the silverette blush. "Aye... then you'd really be... free sailing." He laughed and shook his head before looking around with his hands again.

He stopped and looked towards Sora's voice.
That was... quick.
"No, I cannot."

[Reno]

The wolf ignored the Shee's pleas, taking in as much of the other;s member as he could. Nothing was going to be able to stop him now. He had found what he wanted. He sucked down hard, bobbing his head up and down, drinking in the precome greedily as it came. He massaged his tongue up and down the dark vein, feeling it pulsing with blood.

The blonde was still young and inexperienced. It wouldn;t be long now. He idly ran his hand up and down the part of the shaft he couldn't take in, using his other arm to keep the blonde's hips down so he wouldn't choke. Terra was inexperienced as well after all this would be his first sexual encounter. But instinctively he knew what to do.


Demyx yelped jumping back, tripping over his own shoes and landed on his ass in the middle of the ink puddles, his clothes getting stained. He looked on in terror as the other changed to something more frightening. Then the minute Axel started yelling at him he burised his head in his hands, shaking all over and sobbing in fear. "Uh-huh." Was all he said his voice choked up.

Roxas was watching quietly from atop the roof, his eyes widened some. He's never seen... this side of Axel before. Possessive and mean and terrifying. He didn't really like this side of him. He acted more like a bully picking on the weaker kids... just like the taller bigger kids always did to him, Ven and sora cause they were smaller then normal. He knew how low the other blonde was feeling right now. And once he saw Demyx crying he decided enough was enough.

The blonde Shee stood, growling a bit, and jumped FROM the roof. He landed expertly on the curtain-like top of a booth and rolled over, landing on the ground in a crouch. He threw the scrolld onto the ground uncaringly and marched right over, standing between the strange gypsy and the furious imp. "Axel the imp fucking COOL it." He snapped, crossing his arms and straightening his shoulders as if trying to appear taller. His foot tapped in the ground, making little splashes of ink dance upwards. "Stop acting like a jackass or I'm calling the whole damn THING off you got it?"


Sora grinned. "Good!" He reached over taking Riku;s hand again and without warning pulled him back onto the deck. "then I'm gonna teach you how!!" He pulled the silverette up in front of him and ignored the other;s immediate protests. "okay I'll lead." He said with a chuckle. "Our hands here are clasped and held up abput this high." He said, clasping Riku's right hand in his left and lifting them to about chest level. "then your hand goes here." He took Riku;s left hand and placed it on his shoulder. "and mine goes here." Sora's right hand creeped around to the other;s back. "And this is called a closed position." He said cheerfully. "Usually used in the waltz. it's a three-step dance." He giggled. "So move your right leg back a step."

[Rikugurl]

Ven's eyes started to flutter as he pushed his hands over his mouth more, moaning through them loudly. His body continued to shake, not use to... this feeling. Every touch was becoming too much and sweat started to press down his skin and hair. Goosebumps lined everything that was exposed, making him shake more.

However, the moment Terra started to run the veins that his mouth was missing, the boy's watering eyes snapped open. His hands leg go as he gasped and panted heavily.
"Terra! P-please! S-stop it! I'm go.. I..." He felt warm starting to overload and shook more.
"I---!!" It felt like he was going to pee!!!


Axel frowned as he saw Demyx fall over and started to cry. Well... he--- he pointed his finger at him.
He placed his hands over his hips and nodded to himself... but the minute Roxas was in view, his eyes changed drastically... like a dog who was getting into trouble. He bit his lip as Roxas started to yell at him and a puff of smoke covered him, changing him back to the way he once looked.

He knelt to the ground and bowed to the Shee, his eyes hurt and felt like whimpering. Roxas was mad at him...
"I.... I'm sorry Rox...."


Riku blinked as he was pulled up the stairs, trying hard not to trip.
When they got to the deck, he fumbled over a bit but Sora caught him and held him up. When the other grabbed his hand, his mouth gapped. "Ut.... Sora! N-not here!" The Shee completely ignored him. He yelped as he was directed places... without being able to do so himself.

He was suddenly led into a set and almost fell over again but caught himself. He chuckled soft and shook his head. "You're being silly, lad..."

[Reno]

Terra heard the other and knew he was close.d even if Ven didn't understand it he did. And if he knew one thing at THIS point... you did not stop.

He rasied his head until only the head of the member was in his mouth running one hand sensually up and down the wetted flesh. He stuck his tongue into the slit, setting off the sensitive nerves. that should be it.


Roxas just scoffed, looking unappeased. Behind him he could still hear Demyx sniffling and crying away, still scared of them... and if he was scared of them their would be no heart or magic to his playing. He'd be...

"Don't say it to me, say it to him." He ordered. "I'm not going to have you acting like a bully just cause he's a subordinate." He knew they had sort of corerced Demyx into this whole thing but that didn;t give the red-head any reason to treat him like elss then what he was. He desereved the same treatment anyone got - just cause he was a gypsy didn't mean he was bad.

At least, Roxas and his strong heart believed in that deeply. It was something Sora taught him actually... but the thing he didn;t hold to easily that his elder brother did was forgiveness or letting go og grudes. Sora forgave people who hurt him pretty badly very easily. Roxas thought it was the stupidest thing ever and didn't trust those people for shit.


Sora laughed. "aye who will see us... the birds?" He teased and he lead riku slowly through the steps, telling him were to stpe and which legs to move. They did a simple box step, the move the most basic and simple of them all.

He grinned at the other;s next words. "Aye... but that's okay. It's just us. We can be whatever we want to be. Now lets try it again." He practiced the first move with Riku a few times chuckling when the other fumbled some making sure to hold him tight. Soon though the other seemed to become a ltitle more certain, their steps more natural and flowing.

And then they slowed down and Sora taught him another move that had them breaking away from each other, hands still clasped as they did what he liked to call a 'backwards' box step. They came back together within three steps and Sora grinned. "See it's not hard! Just put a little feeling in it."

[Rikugurl]

Ven saw Terra slowly pull away and calmed down a bit... but he REALLY needed to get to the bathroom! He was about to jump up when he realized... Terra wasn't going anywhere. His body continued to shake as he slowly laid on the floor again, his back arching quickly and his eyes widening as he felt something at his meatus.

"AAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHNNN!!!!"

All he could see was white as he released. It was a feeling that he had never felt before... and it only lasted a second. His body laid on the floor, shuddering as he panted.
The white liquid coated the inside of Terra's mouth... and the power it held seemed into the cheek tissue slowly.


Axel frowned as he looked away slightly. He felt like a little kid again. But... maybe if he apologized... Roxas would give him a gift! Or.... most likely not.
"I'msorry..." He mumbled but Roxas still crossed his arms, shooting him an angry look.

Axel swallowed and sighed, pushing his hand into the dye that had fallen. He slowly stood and walked to the blonde who was still sniffling.
"I'm sorry... Demyx." He slowly reached out his hand that had the ink on it. As long as his hands were wet... he wouldn't burned what he touched...


Riku couldn't help but smile as he moved and fumbled a bit... but after awhile, he really go the hang of it. He frowned and tilted his head as the next move came. He had no idea how... odd it was to dance... and now even odder that he was blind.

He couldn't help but laugh softly as he started to get better at it, flowing well with the young Shee. He closed his eyes... and enjoyed the feeling... of moving together.

[Reno]

Terra's eyelids grew heavy as the seed coated his mouth and he swallowed it hard. He lapped up any that fell like a good wolf and slowly released Ven and sat up. his eyes had grown very dark with the pleasure of it all a smile spread over is face. "Mmmm..."

He leaned down, nuzzling the Shee's thigh but his mind was slowly coming back to him as if Ven's coming back down from his sexual high helped that issue.

Terra blinked, then blinked again and sat up, eyes wide. He looked at the blonde still panting on the floor, dried tears on the other's cheeks. Oh. Shit.

"V-Ven..." the wolf stuttered. WHAT just happened?


Roxas looked down at the other silently as the other tried to half-ass his apology - too quiet and quick to even be heard. He growled a little, giving the other one hell of a glare. Of course that wasn't good enough!

Demyx looked up at Axel fearfully as the hand was held out to him. He gave a panicked glance towards Roxas and the smaller blonde gave an encouraged nod. He looked back towards Axel and slowly took his hand, letting the other help him up.

"Okay better but NOW we have to get new dyes too." Roxas said exasperatedly.

Demyx opened then closed his mouth just looking away. He could fix it. He had the power to lift and seperate them from the ground. But why tell them that?


Sora looked up at Riku, smiling happily as the look of content that spread over the other's face. He was enjoying it!! The brunette smiled appeased.

"Alright, now a twirl." He went through the motion slowly, dropping his free hand, coaxing Riku to do the same. He lfited their clasped hands high as he guided him through the simple turn. "Really easy you just go one, two three! there that was perfect!" He praised with a smile. "You're a real fast learner Riku."

Why did he ask Riku to dance? He himself wasn't sure. think of it as a late birthday gift. When it came to dancing some Akbarians loved it, others hated it and their weren't many inbetweens. He and Roxas were part of the crew who loved it. Ven was part of the one that hated it. He wasn't sure about his parents though.

"Hey... Riku?" The brunette murmured softly as they fell back into the simple patterns of dancing, Sora throwing in little twirls here and there. "What is it about the light of a person's heart you don't believe in?" He asked suddenly. He needed to know of he was ever going to help the silverette. "I mean... why don't you trust in it? Did.... did someone hurt you?"

[Rikugurl]

Ven's body slowly started to stop convulsing, bit continued to shake. His breathing quieted down but he still breathed uneasily. His body felt heavy... and he didn't think it was even possible to move.
His member went lips between his legs as his blush slowly faded.

He let out a moan, but it wasn't for pleasure or happiness. He winced as he heard the other shudder his name and quickly hid his face behind his gloves. "D-don't look at me." His voice choked as he turned away. The bat wings on his back were all crumbled and mangled as the teen got into a fetal position.


Axel sighed and pulled his hand away, rubbing the colors on the side of his white pants. Like he cared. He rolled his eyes and looked away from the blonde. Stupid gypsies...
He blinked as Roxas started to talk. Nodding, he sighed again. "Yea, alright. Mr. Show off here should pay for em... but let's see if we can steal 'em first!"


Riku continued to smile contently as they continued to dance. His laughter was childish and happy as they twirled around and smiled more as Sora seemed to become happy. Riku was a fast learner... he always had been... and now that he was blind... it was a necessity to survive.

He stopped though as Sora asked him the question, his smile fading quickly. He looked down, their hands still together as he thought. Slowly he shook his head. ".......no." He sighed. "My father.... he left my mom when I was born. All I could see was her pain when I was a child... no matter how hard she smiled... She was loving and all... but she hid away from the world. It was just me and her... no one else. When I got older... everyone said I needed to get out and see life. But... I always... I always knew people had the potential of hurting another... like my dad did to my mom."

His shoulders slouched as he looked away. "I didn't want to give people a chance. I was safer... in the dark. No one can hurt you... if they can't see you."

[Reno]

First day as a human in almost five years and already he screwed it up. First day of them finally sort of getting along and now that was destroyed again.

Terra was surprised about how low he felt right about now. Damn it did he have absolutely NO self-control?! Get a taste and he had to... had to...

"fuck..." The wolf whispered, shaking all over. What kind of guardian was he? What kind of PERSON was he? ... Oh right he wasn't even technically that. "Ven...." He whispered again, tentatively reaching out for him. His fingers touched lightly on the boy's arm, scared in a way of how he was going to react.


Demyx just looked away as the imp suggested he should pay. Ha, with WHAT? Gypsies stole almost as much as imps. The only money he made was... sewed into his clothes and even then it wasn't much.

Roxas just rolled his eyes, shaking his head. "come on." he ordered both of them walking from the marketplace. In effect it forced both to follow. Great he had to deal with Axel's impish jealousy and Demyx's whiny nature. This whole home away from home was suddenly looking very unappealing.

He wanted to go home for the first time in monthes.


Sora listened to the other's story quietly, then he reached up, flicking a lock of silver hair behind the other's ear. "Yeah... they can't... but also no one can make you heal if you stay there." He pointed out. "People hurt others yeah... sometimes unintentionally, sometimes on purpose. And no one is unguilty of that not you not me... not anyone. It happens... but there's a whole good side to life and to people you aren't seeing. And a whole good side to this... that you can't see either."

He unclasped there hands but instead reached up, embracing the other. "Your mother might not have your dad anymore... but she had something else. Something... better. She has you. And thanks to you she kept going on with life even if it hurt when she rememebred things. Because now she had someone to make new memories with."

[Rikugurl]

Shocked eyes looked out at the fireplace, tears starting to steam down his cheeks again. He wanted to pull up his pants... but... he was just... too stunned about... everything. His body shook as he tried to stop his panting but flinched as Terra touched his arm.

He sniffed and slowly looked back, his eyes watering. His blue eyes caught Terra's and bit his lip. How... could his guardian...?
He looked away slightly, his blonde spikes covering most of his face from Terra.
"Could you..... kiss me again?"


Axel blinked and reached out for Roxas but sighed. Stupid gypsies... ruining the day. God damn them, god damn them, god damn th-- He slowly followed the blonde in defeat and looked at the sand, kicking it up. How could a boy like this control him so much?
Well... He was an imp... and imps follow those who they are assigned to. They also do everything they can for their master... for something in return.

That wasn't happening.
He'd... make it up somehow...


Riku blinked slightly was he felt his hair being pulled behind his ears gently. A small smile ran over his features as Sora started to explain. This... Shee did have a lot of power... and it wasn't all in his blood either.

He frowned though as their hands broke but arms wrapped around him. His lips parted a bit as the boy continued.
Those words...
"Soran..." He spoke softly as he slowly... leaned down... and their lips were so close...

When the boat suddenly rocked violently. The silverette toppled over but quickly found a rope and grabbed on, holding Sora protectively in his arms.

"SURRENDER YOUR SHIP, PIRATES!!"
Pirate...?
"Sora! Is there a Jolly Rodger flying on this ship!?"

[Reno]

Terra's blue eyes went wide as saucers. He opened and closed his mouth spundlessly for a few seconds, stunned himself. He bit his lip. "A-Are you sure that's... what you want?"

The blue eyes looked at him through blonde spikes, shaded and hard to read. But no sounds of protest were forthcoming...

"... okay." Terra whispered softly, uncertain. He moved over the other and reached out, moving the other's bangs away to reveal his face. He looked at him quietly before dipping down, their lips meeting softly.


Roxas crossed his arms, a little tense but he'd get over it in a couple of hours. He was still pretty tempermental when it came to certain thing. Well he WAS a sixteen year old teen.

A thought came to him and he smirked. Axel wanted to be a jackass then he'd do what the red-head hated most. He'd ignore him. "Demyx, come here."

The blonde gypsy, last in line between them all and wishing the floor would swallow him, jumped and without a second thought hurried past Axel and to Roxas' side. "Uh huh?"

"How old are you?" The blonde asked curiously.

"Uh... seventeen." He answered.

Roxas blinked in surprise and smiled a little easier, glancing towards the blonde. He was real young. "That display you did... how did you do it?"

The blonde blinked. "You mean the thing with the ink?" when the other nodded he scratched the back of his head. "I dunno I mean this is going to sound really weird but I've always been able to do that... as long as I'm playing music."

"Why didn't you ask your parents?"

The blonde shrugged, scratching the back of his head. "I... don't know who or where they are."


Sora's eyes lidded as they other came closer, a strange feeling making his stomach twist. What was Riku doing...? His eyes were just falling shut when the ship suddenly rocked and Sora gave a cry of panic, stumbling.

Thank to Riku he didn't fall, but he clenched onto the other's shoulders to keep his balance as the boat continued to move. "Sora! Is there a Jolly Rodger flying on this ship!?"

"Huh?" Sora asked back, before curiously looking up towards the ast and there, bright as day and black as poison was the cutomary skull and crossbones, announcing to the world who they were.

"Uhhhhh.... oops?"

[Rikugurl]

Ven continued to look away until Terra spoke. He stayed quiet... not even sure if he was sure. However, Terra slowly leaned down and pulled his blonde hair away. The blue eyes caught the other's and swallowed. Slowly their lips joined again and the kiss was soft.

Ven slowly sat up, his claws reaching up to the back of Terra's head. They curled around the brown hair as the kiss continued. After a minute or so, the blonde pulled away and managed to pull his boxers and pants up. A sigh admitted as he sat back down on the floor and looked down.
It... didn't make him feel any better....


It was a few hours later, ink now in their possession along with the scrolls. It now seemed that this Demyx guy was going to be LIVING with them for the week. How. Awesome.

Axel blinked as he heard Roxas's voice... but scowled as he called for Demyx. He knew what was going on.... he was being IGNORED. HE HATED BEING IGNORED. His fist clenched as he trudged after the blonde. Demyx walked ahead of him... it took A LOT for Axel not to trip him as he passed.

As they started to talk, it went in one ear and out the other. He watched the people walk around and the other sights of the bazaar. He blinked though when he heard Demyx state that he was seventeen. Only a year older than Roxas. He growled again under his tongue. He was closer to Roxas's age...


"Shit..." Riku frowned as another cannon blasted towards them. They must of been close to a port... and though they were going to invade.
"Sora... stay close!" The slowly started to walk off blindly, looking for the pole that held the flag... but it was too late.

Another cannon fired and hit the side of the ship... and water rushed into the cabin. Riku felt the jerk and frowned.
"ABANDON SHIP!"
He cried as another cannon came flying over.

He grabbed onto Sora tightly and fell backwards into the water below. He hit the water hard and was pushed down into it. He quickly let go of Sora and ripped off his heavy jacket before grabbing Sora again, pulling him to the surface. He gasped as he broke free, keeping the Shee close. "Are you ok?"

[Reno]

Terra pulled away moments later and sighed looking at the look upon the other;s face. It wasn;t any happier...

He looked away as the other straightened his clothes, murmuring softly, "I'm sorry."


Roxas smirked a bit as he heard the growls and slightly louder steps of the red-head behind him. Oh he knew how to push his buttons alright.

He kinda felt bad though, using Demyx as a scapegoat sort of just to piss Axel off. It was kind like dating a guy to get your old boyfriend furious sort of thing.

... that was NOT a good comparison.

"Does it bother you?" Roxas asked suddenly.

"Huh? oh. no not at all!" He said with a smile. "Cause Gypsies are all family to each other so I have a REALLY big one."


Sora barely had time to comprehend things as it happened. All he heard was the blasts of the cannons, the whistling of heavy objects flying through air, riku;s yells and the rocking off the ship.

He didn't really think about it as the other suddenly pulled him close and OVER the ship. Sora gave a yelp. Well there went their second ship.

They smacked into the water hard, and Sora had the foresight to take a deep breath before hitting it. Once they surface, Sora could help but laugh, adrenline rushing through him in the most exhilerating of ways. "Yeah I'm fine! Come on we gotta get to shore!"

He had no idea that when Riku had pulled him over a shard of wood had scratched across his leg a thin line of blood trailing from it... and dispersing in the water.

A Golden eye snapped open and the black-sleeked anaimal rasied itself from the cold stone floor of the casstle ground. He had it. His nails clicked across the ground quickly, heavy pawprints being made in the dusty floors.

It was a leopord-like creature, it's whole body sleek yet powerful, blotches of lighter brown colors making the spots in his already black as night fur. At first glance he wasn't much, but at a second glance he was something extrodinary. Their was a deep scar running over the left eye, sealing it shut, the origins of such a wound unknown. From it's mouth, two large fangs came down like a saber-tooth tiger's, but they were much thinner and smaller. And all his paws, though normal at first glance, actually had a claw behind each similar to a demon's foot or a griffin's back claw.

The large leopord walked down the hall, creatures made of darkness that had made this place their home parted the way for him. They knew better then to try and mess with him.

The leopord slipped inside another room though the cracked open doors, coming into what appeared to be a throne room. And sitting at the back of the room was just the man he wanted to see. The leopord apporached without fear, sitting down and bowing his head respectively. "I have found the scent of a Shee."



"Because you live-" Roxas sung softly, the chords of a sitar coloring the small room. The blonde trailed off, shaking his head. "No it sounds too-"

"Depressing?" The blonde beside him helpfully intervened.

"Yeah! it needs to be more-"

"Upbeat?"

"Yeah!!"

"How about this..." Demyx curled his fingers running, running his fingers along the same chrods but in a different key. the musioc became much more lighthearted and tingly.

"YEAH!" Roxas said, grinning. "thats perfect keep with that!"

"Alright." Demyx said with a big smile, writing down the chords of the music on the sheet. "Okay next verse?"

"Yeah. Lets start over and see how it sounds and go from there."

"'Kay."

It had only been two days and in those two days the two blondes found they had a LOT in common. Both had parents they didn't know, both where in strange worlds they hadn't previously been on, both had strange powers they didn't know how to deal with, both were something other then humans and, most important, they both loved and understood music.

The process of this push and pull type of music was when Roxas sang his song in the melody he wanted it to sound like and then allowed Demyx to be creative with the harmony as long as it seemed to match with the feeling he was trying to convey. Demyx was finding it rather easy to discover what Roxas wanted though per verse, what emotion he needed or what level of sound he wanted. It only ever took a little 'no' to have the other moving in another direction.

They would still need other muscians to back them up but for now they were just writing the sitar accompaniment. An instrument Roxas was quickly falling in love with.

And he and Demyx? To Axel's horror they were becoming best friends. Roxas couldn;t help it though. for the first time in his life he had someone who understood music on the level he did. sure Axel enjoyed his singing and lvoed to lsiten to it but he didn't... seem to grasp it like he and Demyx did. As an art form... and an expression of feeling and something so intune with their souls it was like their whole life was one big music sheet.


Two days had passed and without much of a choice they two pirates had slipped into the port town they had been forced onto, wet as dogs and cold as winter itself. thanks to their long swim though both had gotten cleanrer then they had been in monthes. The dirt had all but washed away in the stinging salt water.

Sora lifted up his logbook, thankfully dry now. Some of the words had ran from the hours of being wet and soggy but for the most part they were okay.

His picture however... well he had lost it in the water. That out of everything had gotten him a little down even if he tried not to show it to Riku... just like he wasn't telling Riku about the scabbing cut on his leg. He didnt think their was any harm in it. the blood had been washed away and cleaned by the salt water so it shouldn't be a problem right?


Terra watched from the hilltop quietly, his head in hs paws. his gold eyes danced after the blonde as he played with his meancing little friends Locke, Shock and Barrel. He didn't particularily like the three - especally after they had tried to kidnap the easter bunny. He liked the easter bunny... he looked like a snack.

The wolf yawned. Yes, he was back to being a wolf. the blue moon lasted only one day. Ven had been shocked about him turning back and without much of a choice Terra finally let the story spill. About his curse that his. the whole wonderful story about his father and the goddess and... all of it. He wasn;t sure if the blonde had even been listening though. He had a tendency to let words fly over his head.... most of the time. It was no wodner he sucked at school, he had no sense of focus.

Yet after that night two days ago... Their friendship had been very... odd. Uncomfortable. Terra just made sure to keep as much disance as he could with the blonde unless he called for him. It was like he was once again hiding in the shadows of the woods on akbar just watching the Shee live his life. It felt like he was all the way back to square one yet... past square five at the same time. He had moved backwards yet had moved so FAR forward... that it had twisted their relationship almost to an unrecognizble point.

He had no one but himself to blame for that though. It was scary to thik how just that one little drop of blood... caused all this. What would of happened... if it had been MORE?
