The Chasers: Darkness' Fold

[Reno]

Vi barked worriedly, watching her other master take to the stairs as well. She whimpered , laying out on the floor and just waited.

When Riku reached the top steps he found Sora laying out onto bed, his fingers curled under his pillow, spikes smooshed udnerneath him. His blue eyes were staring blankly at the wall ahead of him.

It seemed he attempted to get p[artially undressed beside his shoes had been flung about the room - one by the night stand another next to the bathroom door. The belt he had been wearing had been tugged off and was on the bed bed, half of it hanging off the edge. His shir was unbuttoned yet it hadn;t been taken off.

Dad tried to hit me... Somehow he couldn't get his mind to wrap around this thought. Akbars were peaceful people - never in his life had he ever been hit by one of his parents, not even for doing something bad. He was never pjhysically disciplined by her parents...

And now his dad wanted to hit him for something his heart believed was completely right. But more so then that... were the words. He'd heard them time and time again - but this time they were spoken with true malice.

He felt lower then dirt right now. Even when he saw Riku's frame in the doorway he made no indication to him.

Even Sora's optimism had it's limits.

And without their knowledge, wisps of invisible darkness seemed to spread into the room, curling tantilizingly along Riku's skin - and another stretching out to graze across Sora's arm. Marking them. The room dropped a few degrees.


Roxas looked up at Axel for a moment - and instead of getting mad he grinned widely. "Glad you see it my way!" He was obviously trying to be cute to get out of trouble.

Axel was not amused.

Roxas shifted uncomfortably then sighed. He lowered the list, looking ashamed and angry. "Fine I'll go back." He grumbled, turning on his heels and practically stomped from the room.

And that's when he felt it. A sharp pain in his heart that wasn't his own. He paused to a stop, his brows furrowing in confusion. It... felt dark. He glanced back into the room, seeing that Axel looked completely fine. The pain spread like poison, overing every inch of his body and making it hard to breathe.

...who?

He slowly looked forward, his eyes dancing towards the flames of the fire watching it shift and dance in the fireplace. It was as if he had jumped into it, because his skin started to heat up uncomfortably, sweat collecting at his brow and his breath quickened to try and cool his body off quicker. His vision darkened.

In his mind's eye... he could see a small world slowly being consumed in darkness - a little heartless stood in the middle of it all.

"Axel!?" He cried in panic, not sure what was happening to him. He seemed to sway on his feet - then he collasped.

In his ears he heard something shattering like fine glass and his eyes squeezed closed, tears slipping down his face as he tried to escape the pain.

[Rikugurl]

Riku walked to the door frame, looking in and frowned. His eyes grew sympathetic as he saw his lover on the bed. His concern consumed him, not noting the Darkness that swirled around him. If he was in tune with his Darkness like he was for most of his life, he would of noticed the burn on his arm. It was not able to be seen by those who see Light...

He walked in slowly and closed the door.
A horrible pain kept pulsing in his heart, unable to be beaten down.
He sat on the bed and slowly ran his hand through the brunette hair.
"Sora.... don't listen to him." He said softly as he leaned closer. "It doesn't matter what anyone says... as long as we're happy... and everyone else. It didn't bother you too much in school... don't let it bother you now. Sure he's your dad... but that's what makes it a bit better. Just because... he's angry and doesn't believe in the things we do.... he still loves you... and that's what matters."

He brushed the back of his hand over Sora's cheek and smiled. "I called Ven and asked him to come over... maybe he can talk some sense into you father."


Axel continued to look at him with a dull look. He blinked though when Roxas turned and stopped off. "H-hey! I'll come with yo---" He stopped the minute Roxas did. He blinked and tilted his head, wondering what the blonde was thinking.

That was when he heard it.
"Axel!?"
His green eyes widened as he heard his name cried... and Roxas fell. "ROXAS!" He shot over, quickly grabbing Roxas before he could hit the ground. He sat down and looked down at his husband, fear running through him.

Xio blinked and yipped, hearing the panic, and rushed over to see Roxas in Axel's arms.
"DADDY!?" The little boy cried and rushed over as well. He gripped onto his dad's shirt and started to shake him. Axel quickly pulled the boy away. "No, no! Please don't do that!"
Roxel blinked, tears coming into his eyes.
Xio quickly pulled him over and nuzzled him.

Axel started to panic as he brushed the tears away.
Usually when Roxas got hurt or ill, he could feel it. But this immense pain didn't touch him...
"Roxas.... baby.... what's wrong?"


A door slid open and two men walked in. A black hoodie was thrown in the trash as boxers and pajama pants were tossed in the laundry shoot. It looked like he'd have to do laundry for the week.
He was about to go to the shower with the other when he stopped, noting a flash coming from his cell phone.

He looked back at the brunette and grinned. "I'll be in in a second, get your sewing kit out huh?"
He walked over to his side of the bed, not caring about the blood running down his chest as he picked up his phone. He snapped it opened and saw that he had 1 new voice message.

He put the phone to his ear and started to listen to it.
As he did... he felt a chill run down spine. Not because he was butt naked... but... something dark.
The place where his heart was seemed to swell... but the life of it was being sucked away.

Something was wrong.
Terribly wrong....

The phone dropped to the floor as Ven rushed out of the room and up the stairs to where they just were.
His bare feet stepped on the blood that was all over the Pilot Lounge floor and leaned over the commands.
He quickly started typing the coordinates to Destiny and the ship gave a groan as it stopped and slowly started to turn around.

[Reno]

Sora's eyes looked towards Riku as his lover began to speak.

Ven? He wondered what his hot-tempered blonde friend was going to do once he and dad did have their little 'talk'. He had a feeling it would not turn out well.

He was quiet, letting Riku's words roll over in his mind as he reached up, fingers curling into the silverette's shirt and he tugged him down. He moved his head so their lips brushed. "Ri..."

The other's hair pooled around Sora's face and coated the pillow like liquid silver. The brunette smiled ever so faintly up at him, trying to be strong.


Roxas didn't really feel the boy's shakes, but he did hear his cries. Instinctively he wanted to get up and hug the boy, telling him everything was alright. But right now that was an impossibilty.

"Roxas.... baby.... what's wrong?"

Axel's voice sounded strange. Some of the words were faint, others nice and clear - like they were inside a TV and someone was messing with the antennes to get good reception.

Roxas looked up at the other's worried green eyes. In the back of his mind he remembered that A) six boxes of ice cream was on the floor in the kitchen and was going to melt pretty soon and B) the freezer door was still open.

Ice sounded really nice right now.

His fingers twitched, raising his hand to brush up against Axel's cheek clumsily. Roxas' skin was clammy and way, way too hot to be normal. His arm suddenly fell, landing against his body limply as the blonde's vision darkened once more.

But this time he was pretty sure he was falling unconcious. "Ax..." He breathed, unable to utter another wave of pain struck him again. The blonde hissed, eyes screwing shut as his whole body tensed up.

Then sudden he was limp in the red-head's arms and his eyes didn't open again. The only thing that reassured he was alive was the quick yet even breathes escaping his mouth.


Terra laughed at the other's words and nodded, walking towards the bathroom and slipping inside. Heh, who said sewing was only a girly thing?

The brunette crouched down, opening the doors of the cabinet and looking within. He was just reaching for the 'kit' as Ven so articulately put it, when suddenly he felt a shot of panic rush through him. He heard Ven rush from the other room. "Ven?" He asked, getting too his feet, completely baffled. he walked from the bathroom just as the ship suddenly changed course. "Whoa!" He stumbled a little, unprepared for it and caught himself against the wall.

He frowned before rushing from the room - finding Ven at the controls and looking rather unhappy. Heh, it was a good thing no one was around - they were both quite naked.

"Ven... what's wrong?" He asked, a bit put off because he didn;t really FEEL much from the other, yet the look on his face spoke of something deeper. Why wasn;t the paopu working...?

[Rikugurl]

Riku smiled softly as he felt the lips on him, slowly pressing them together. His hand reached down, into Sora's opened shirt. Fingers glided over his ribs and down the side of his body. "I love you Sora..." He whispered before he snuck his tongue between Sora's lips softly, bring him into a passionate kiss.

His body slowly moved over the brunette, continuing to run his hand over the soft skin.


Axel's eyes continued to look down in panic. He gasped as he felt the hand on his cheek, feeling how hot it was. What... what was going on?
When Roxas collapsed, he quickly pulled the younger up and looked down at Xio. "Get that ice cream in the fridge and close the door."
He quickly rushed up the stairs and turned the corner.

Xio yipped and rushed to the fridge. He picked up the boxes one by one with his large paws and placed them in the freezer the best he could. Luckily, most moombas stood on two feet.
As he was doing his chore, he could hear a sudden cry from the hallway.

Roxel was in tears.
The moomba whimpered and started to throw the boxes in and slammed the door. Axel would have to watch out when he opened it again.
He rushed to the boy and licked his face, tasting the saltiness of it all.
"WHAT HAPPEN TO DADDY!?" The boy cried and plopped on the floor, more tears falling down his cheek.

Upstairs, Roxas was laid down in the large bed and the redhead rushed to the bathroom. He grimaced at the sound of Roxel crying and hopped Xio could help. He grabbed a wash cloth and drenched it with cold water before rushing back and laying it on his lover's forehead.
To his shock... it steamed.

He quickly undressed the blonde, only loosely throwing the sheets over half his body to cover his privates.
"Roxas..."


The whirling of computers filled the room as a brunette sat in a chair. He was reading a book on weaponry when he suddenly stopped. There was a horrid tug on his heart.
He closed his book and looked around.
What... He blinked as he heard the computer ask a question... a question about a feeling he was having...

"Ah..." A woman with a long braid stood up from checking her flowers. She looked up at the ceiling, a dreaded look in her eyes.
It was the same feeling she had before Zack died...
Her heart tugged and she swallowed.
What could this mean?

At a shop, a man stopped dead as he was about to put some medicine away. His heart felt a tug and frowned. He'd have to look this up right away...

Far off, a mouse blinked as she stopped in the middle of the stairs.
"Gwarsh, are you ok, my queen?"
The little mouse reach up and put her hand over her heart. "My... something isn't quite right."
Goofy blinked then gasped, putting his own hand over his heart. "Gee, I feel it too."

Dale nuzzled up to his brother as they got ready to sleep... but his eyes suddenly shot open. "Hey! You feel that!?"

A red head frowned as she felt something in her sleep, making her curl up more.
A while haired woman held her chest, the small children around her asking what was wrong.
A black haired teen frowned as he felt a tug at his heart. What did this mean? He headed out from his house to see if Zieg was ok...

Far away, a redhead stopped in his tracks, his EMR dropping to the ground.
"Reno?" A black haired man inquired, looking at the man's face pale.

Far, far off, a flying ship was glazed with the shine of the morning sun. Tall rabbit ears folded suddenly as a tug pulled at her heart. She leaned over the counter and winced.
"Mama?" A little girl inquired as she looked over from the table.
"Fran darling... what's the matter?"
"It's.... Sora...."


Ven's legs felt a bit shaky. He wasn't sure if it was the lose of blood... or something else. He blinked as he heard Terra's voice and looked back.
"Something... bad is going to happen soon..."

[Reno]

Sora groaned softly as their tongues danced together, feeling the hands running soothingly over his body. His arms came up, sneaking between Riku's wandering hands and slipped his hands under the other's shirt, feeling up the other;s chest. He broke away from the kiss gasping. "Love you too." He answered, his index figners flicking across the other's nipples teasingly.


"Nnngh..." Roxas groaned softly, his blonde hair beginning to darken with sweat, slowly becoming unaware of everything going on around him. His skin started to get warmer...

You are the one who will stabilize the universe.

"I don't understand..." Roxas whispered looking up at the water that surronded him, bubbles escaping his mouth - but he didn;t need to breathe. Nothing was under him but the black depths of the sea. Above him he could see the light making the water appear blue. Everything around him was grey.

The oddest thing was he was not falling. He was hovering...

And he could hear crying.

Rest. All will become clear soon.

'Roxas...'

The blonde tilted his head towards the voice that seemed to come out of nowhere. "...Axel..." What was happening to him?

Rest.

"My family needs me!" He snapped.

You are the one that needs.

"No. You're wrong." The blonde stretched out his arms and kicked out his feet. He swum towards the light - but it felt like he had just walked on the sun. "Nnngh..."

His whole body was wracked with a burning sensation that made him paralyzed. His body started to slip from the light and into the darkness, the wisps of it curling around his body like a vice.

He opened his mouth-

"AAAAH!" Roxas screamed out his body arching from the bed before falling back to it, shaking all over. A thin stream of tears was squeezed out of his body as he jerked around on the bed.

Roxas struggled fiercely, kicking away from the depths of the darkness, struggling without sight as he swum upwards, finding that area in the water that had been mildly okay.

He panted, floating back in that area between the light and dark - the bleak greyness surronding him. "I-I think I'll stay here."


The rag in the blondes hand seemed frozen in place, the large buster sword gleaming - almost like new. He didn't want it to rust. His fingers curled tightly around the hilt and he grimanced. This feeling... it felt like when knew he was losing his best friend.

The black-haired martial artist kicked at the padded target in front of her, breathing in and out slowly. She might be older but that was no reason not to stay in shape. She jabbed her fist forward, about to hit her 'target' when the punch fell short, trembling barely inches away from the padded pole.
"No..." Soemthing felt like it was becoming lost.

The ninja dropped the water basin she had been bringing to Aerith, and placed her hand against the wall to steady herself. She looked down at the water as it spread out across the floor, mimicing the odd feeling in her heart.

The pilot froze in his work on the gummi ship and he sat up, oil covering his clothes. He frowned. "Need a smoke..." He reached up, grabbing something wedged between his googles and stuck a cigarette in his mouth, lightning it quickly. "Fuck."

Seifer paused on the walk towards the sandlot, his little girl following after him. He looked up towards the sky, as if looking for rain.
"Daddy...?" Lucina asked, tugging on his opant leg. Her eyes were full of sadness. "Daddy did something happen?"
"I... am not sure."

The blue-haired keyblader looked towards the sunset without actually seeing it. She could invision a black spot in all that beauty - she could invision it spreading across the sky, turning it completely black. Tsuami pulsed within her, crying out. Something... something horrible was coming.

Tidus slipped through the door, hearing the worrying noises of a baby crying, and looked into the living room, seeing Tensai all upset. His wife and daughter both looked a bit troubled as well. He walked over, frowning deeply. "What's happening...?" He wasn't sure what he was asking.

The president stared out the window at his desolute town, the sight much sadder then it ever had been before. He reached up to flick away some hair from his eyes.
"Sir...?" He heard the blonde female ask questionably behind her. "Are you alright?"
"Fine." He lied. He reached for his cell phone, speed-dialing Reno.

Hands slipped on the sitar, creating a crashing note that hurt even the player's resilent ears. He curled his fingers around the instument, bowing his head, and suddenly he played his fingers across the string, the sound sad to match the feeling suddenly overcoming him.

Donald looked up suddenly, glancing towards the mouse beside him who had also frozen. "Your majesty... do you...?"
Mickey rasied his hand to his heart, his eyes melancholy. "Come Donald we have to start preparing for the worst."
Donald turned his head down, suddenly wishing he could go visit an old friend...

Daisy's fingers paused from doing up her bow, glancing around the room suspiciously. She slowly turned and walekd towards the throne room. she had to speak with Minnie right away.

Chip's eyes had opened as well, his whiskers twitching. "Yeah." He answered Dale's call, unsure of what to do about it.

A purple haired woman watched the lightning carve across the sky, hearing the roar of the dragon. Her eyes darkened hearing the thunder crash.
A green haired man froze in his playing, the flute slipping from his fingers. He looked towards the sky, seeing Freybrand flying safe and sound. So this feeling...
A man brushed away some of his muddy hair, the golden locks covered by the dirt and he glanced down at the clay vase he had been making. It had collasped.

A tinkle rang out and the boy flying beside her glanced over. "Yeah Tink... I feel it too."

Jack Sparrow looked out towards the stormy sea. "Gonna be a rough one mates." He took another swig of his rum.

Sally paused in her sewing looking up towards the moon in the sky, seeing it was full as ever. so why did it no longer apepar so brillant?

The prince of the forest paused atop a rock, before he slowly bowed his head, antlers tapping the rock.

A lioness stepped out of her den standing atop Pride rock. Beside her, a brown lion walked over. both of them shared a look before roaring towards the sky.

Invidia whined, rushing up the stairs quickly and paused at the doorway. It was closed. She scratched at it a few times and went ignored. She whimpered, laying down slowly as her ears rpessed against her head. She didn;t leave - even when the smell of testosterone met her.


Terra was silent for a moment, before he placed a hand against his heart, feeling something as well. Almost like... like he was losing something. Quicksand thrummed in warning. The wolf inside of him growled.
His eyes flashed before he walked over to the blonde, wrapping a steadying arm around his waist. "Whatever it is... we'll fight it off. We're in this together."

[Rikugurl]

Riku smiled, his eyes slowly becoming dark.

Above them, black clouds started to form as the night came quickly. They wiped up, small shade of purple mixing with them.

He leaned down again, licking his lover's lips before gaining access one more time. It had been... awhile.
He wanted to make this night special... His hands continued to wonder, moving the shirt away to expose Sora's chest more.

The pain in his heart... still didn't leave him.


"AAAAH!"
Axel's eyes widened as he saw his husband scream out. "ROXAS!" Oh god... did he do this? Was the scolding about ice cream too much!? No... there was something wrong. His heart... it seemed to sink. "Roxas...." He leaned down, wiping the tears from Roxas's face.

He wanted to do something... to know what was wrong. Something... ANYTHING! He clenched his teeth but remembered what Sora had said that day.
..........Sora.........

Roxel sniffled as Xio continued to lick him. "My hawrt huwats." The sniffed again as he looked down. Xio could only whimper.


Mako eyes looked up at the sky. There was an imbalance. "Tch..." He snickered, a black feather falling to the ground.

Aerith blinked as she heard something drop and rushed from the room. "Ut... Yuffie... are you ok?" She frowned as she walked over, placing her hand on her friend's shoulder. "Do you feel it too?"

The moogle by Leon's side flew under the desk, as if hiding.

Olette smiled as she looked up, seeing the old dart board. She had taken her son to The Usual Spot. Her face twisted though, a pain in her heart. She looked back, seeing Gunnar holding his chest. His mako eyes were reacting...

Fuu frowned as she watched the sunset. It had been a wonderful day... but what was all this negativity coming from. She glanced at her newly claimed wife. She... wasn't looking so happy either...

Kairi looked back at Tidus when he came in, her eyes sad. Seeing that she was the princess of hearts... she was feeling a lot of pain. She looked down at the boy who continued to cry, no matter what she tried to do to cheer him up. "Something... bad is coming..."
Namine groaned as she held her chest. "I'm going to go lay down..." She got up and slowly went upstairs to her room.

The redhead felt a hand on his shoulder, looking back to see his partner. He nodded at the bald man's silence and picked up his EMR again... though the pain still in his heart. He heard a ringing, reaching down into his jacket pocket and pulling out a cellphone. It was Rufus...
Tseng looked at him curiously as he answered. "Yo."
They still hadn't figured out their secret...

Saix's eyes sadden as he watched the shades of the moon change. His broken leg seemed to bother him more tonight. He looked back, seeing Demyx... wondering if his heart hurt as well.

"Oh my..." Minnie shook her head as she walked up the stairs from the Cornerstone room and blinked as she saw Daisy walking towards her. They met half way and Minnie reached out, taking the duck's wing. "Come, we must talk to the king."

A skeleton walked over to the doll, looking out at the moon as well. He frowned, rubbing the side of his face. A sudden sadness ran over him suddenly. "What's this?"


Transcendent Oath was at the tip of Ven's fingers, making the twitch. He flinched a bit as he felt Terra's hands around his bare skin and looked up at the Land keyblader.
His blue eyes were no longer happy... but sad and glass-like.

"I don't like how we're headed back... to Destiny."
He whispered softly, just enough for Terra to hear.

He turned, pulling Terra with him and headed back down the stairs. There was little they could do. Seifer and the kids weren't here to put the ship into overdrive.
All they could do was wait till they got there.
He headed back to their room and to the bathroom, getting ready for that shower.

[Reno]

Sora smiled at the lick, willingly opening his mouth for the other, groaning softly at the other's passion. His eyes slid shut.

How was it... Riku could always make things better for him? So easily... he usually knew the right words - and when he didn't he always knew the right touches that made him feel special and precious and loved...

How... he noticed his heart still hurt. It felt like it was being slowly stretched out... and the keyblade in him trilled softly. It sounded dull, their communication link surprisingly weak - and Sora hardly felt it.

He disregarded what he did.

He had told Fuujin to learn to live for the moment - and that;s what he was doing. He didn't know what could happen the next week, or the next day or the next hour - a split second was all that was needed to teist a situation to something horrible.

So he lived like every moment was his last - not hesitating to give anything a try and not embaressed to wear his emotions on his sleeve or be himself.

And this... this was part of who he was. Riku was half of his whole world. He would never... ever love anyone else so completely devotedly like he did for Riku.

And he never hesitated to show that love. He wasn't going to start now - no matter what his heart was feeling.

His broke the kiss, giving the other a brillant smile as he tugged Riku's shirt up patiently, helping the other manuver out of it before throwing it to the side. He shrugged out of his own shirt, letting it pool behind him.

He ran his fingers over the other's taunt stomach, wrapping his arms around the others waist to bring their hips close together.


'Roxas...'

The blonde looked up in the bleak grayness reaching out some and shutting his eyes as if he was reaching out and touching the other. "I'm gonna be okay Axel..." He whispered, trying to connect with his husband's heart. Was trying to reassure him.

What... what was happening to him though? Why was he here? He hadn't been here since his Awakening. He couldn't Awaken TWICE in a lifetime.

...Could he?

The blonde decided to take the voice's advice... and slowly he 'laid' down in the water. Above him, the light swirled with power - under him he felt a great and terrible force of darkness. Straying to either and imbalancing himself... could be fatal.

Should of been fatal. If not for...

Axel.

The blonde on the bed seemed to relax some, but his breath was still labored, his skin still warm and tremors still working their way through his body. Something was happening to him... something was changing inside him. And unfortunetly there was nothing anyone could do to stop it.


Yuffie looked up at the other woman, her eyes sad as she nodded. "Yeah... I did."

Aqua looked at Fuujin, and reached out, taking the other woman's hand. She squeezed it lightly. "No matter what..." she whispered softly, "we'll always be at each other's side." She wasn't sure what was out there waiting for them next but.. she wasn't going to let it win.

Tidus looked from his wife to his daughter his eyes concerned. but he could feel it too. He twitched indecisively, then walked over towards the fireplace, rasiing his hand to the sword mounted there. He brushed his hand across the reflecting metal. It was time to resharpen it.

Tensai sniffled in his aunt's arms, big fat tears still rolling down his cheeks. He didn't quite understand the feelings coursing through him, but it reminded him of that terrifying time of being all alone on the big water. He didn't ever want that to happen to him again.

Rufus' eyes brightened a little just hearing the other's voice, but his tone was all business like. "Something's happening." He stated. "We might need to start preparing for the worst."

Demyx sighed leaning his sitar up against the wall. he no longer had the heart to play it. He wandered over to Saix, sitting beside him, minding the broken leg. He was silent as he wrapped his arms around the other, uncertain why he suddenly felt the need for close contact.

Daisy was quiet as she nodded, letting minnie lead her along. Mickey and Donald both however had no trouble finding them either, and like them, they appeared deeply troubled. "Something terrible is going to happen...isn't it?" Daisy spoke up softly.
The mouse king's shoulders slumped and he nodded. "I'm afraid so. The darkness... it feels like it has changed."

The doll stood next to the skelton, placing a hand against his bony arm, frowning softly but she said nothing.


Terra was silent at the other's words. He couldn't help but agree to the setiment. He didn't want to go back either. Something unforgivable was awaiting them there.

He let the other tug him away, both of them sidestepping the blood, easily making their way to the bathroom. The Atterian remembered to grab the needle and stitching as Ven turned on the water with his good hand - and once the water was warm enough both got in and under the spray. the blood was a bright red for the first minute as it cleaned off of both of them.

Terra stepped close, brushing his lips across the other's shoulder as he carefully started to stitch up the wound.

No matter what he said that night however, he couldn't get a smile on the blonde's face. Of course he didn't really feel like smiling either. Once their shower was done and they were dried and dressed Terra left Ven to get into bed on his own as he went to go and clean the pilot's lounge.

After mopping the area and coming back he found the blonde waiting for him - unable to sleep. He hoped today would not be one of the blonde's insomniac nights. He really, really hated those.

The wolf crawled into bed, circling his arms around the other's waist and brought him close. "Goodnight Ven."

[Rikugurl]

Riku leaned closer, his silver hair falling over Sora's face more as the kiss continued. The pain in his heart grew more and more distant... but it didn't leave. What he really cared about was to make Sora happy. He gave a soft moan at their tongues tangled around each other.

Little did Riku or Sora know... was that the pain in their heart was also reaching everyone else that they knew.
Something horrible was going to happen... and the beginning... was right above them.

Hard breathing came from the living room as an old man gripped to his heart. His hand shook... as if out of fear.
He thought he was having a heart attack... but what was really happening was his heart knew that he would be losing something he loved soon.

Tears ran down a woman's cheek as she laid down in bed. Her body was all curled up as she held her heart.
Riku...

Riku grinned as he let the brunette pull off his shirt. As their hips pressed together, he pressed down harder, moving his hips in a circular motion. He leaned down, shoulder blades poking up through the silver hair he had left, and invited his tongue in once more. Moaning inside, his hands ran down the other's bare torso. His fingers ran under the jeans, rubbing Sora's pelvic bone sensually.


"I'm gonna be okay Axel..."
Axel blinked, hearing a voice in his own inner world that was themed on fire. Of course.
His body and heart calmed... though the horrible pain was still apparent.

He saw his lover's body relax... though still full of fever. He ran the back of his hand over Roxas' cheek, leaning down and kissing the wet lips. "I love you Roxas..." A whisper was pressed on the blonde's lips before the redhead pulled away.
He stood, looking down at Roxas before leaving and going down stairs.

He looked down at Roxel and smiled, slowly picking him up.
"Daddad ok?"
"Yea... Daddad is ok." Axel kissed the boy's cheek before bringing him to the kitchen. He took a tissue and wiped the boy's tears away. "So, what do you want for dinner?"
"Ice cweam?"
Axel chuckled softly. "Alright... but just this once."


Aerith looked down and shook her head. "Someone... someone is going to die." She looked up, looking at her friend. "But who?"
She... didn't want to lose someone again. She had visited Leon, Cloud and the others today... and all seemed like they were in good health and no problems...

Reno growled, making the other's around tense. "I was just getting use to the idea of NOT preparing for the worst." He gave a lazy sigh but nodded. "We'll swing by boss." He hung up and looked at Tseng. "What?"
"How comes Boss doesn't call me anymore?" He cocked his head.
"Because you have a weird thing in the middle of your forehead, yo."

Minnie covered her mouth as her husband spoke. She and Daisy shared a horrid glance then looked back at Mickey.
"Gwarsh, whatcha mean by change?"
The tall dog behind them asked.


Ven's body relaxed under the warm water, it padded away all the sweat and blood. He shivered as he felt lips on him... but only a small smile arose. His blue eyes just watched the water go down the drain as Terra sew him up. The skin around the area had gotten use to the feel of the needle by now.

Something always bad happens before a wedding...

When they were finished cleaning each other, they dried up and went back to their bedroom. He pulled on a pair of boxers and nodded as Terra said to relax... he'd clean up the mess.
Relax... yea.... right...

He walked to the bed and picked up his cellphone that he dropped, placing it back on the nightstand. He got under the covers and curled up... but sleep didn't come.
He droned out, still feeling that tug in his body.

He looked back, seeing that picture of the Holani family. Big smiles... even from Riku.
Why were they missing...?
He blinked, hearing the door slid open and seeing Terra walk in. He shifted in bed as Terra climbed in, his warm easing him a bit. An arm wrapped around the other's neck as he nuzzled the brunette. "Night."

[Reno]

Sora breathed out slowly, groaning as Riku moved his hips down harder. "Oh Ri..." Their lips met again in a passionate kiss and Sora groaned louder as he felt hands worming their way under his jeans. He reached up, tangling his hands in the silverette's hair.

Above them the lights flickered.

Sora took notice of it and broke away from the kiss, panting a little to catch his breath. "Riku."


A woman, her hair graying with age, felt tears coming to her eyes. The wrinkles from previous loss seemed to grow deeper. There was a sharp pain in her heart - the same feeling she had had for years after losing her second-born son.
Except now... now this feeling seemed to be... coming from her first.
"Sora..." She whispered looking out the window. A storm was brewing out there. Lightning crashed down, and the electricty flickered.


"Love you too Ax..." Roxas whispered back smiling slightly. His eyes slid shut. The red-head could take care of Roxel and Xio and Maxie for a little while...


Yuffie just shook her head at the other's words. She... didn;t know either.

Mickey frowned shutting his eyes. "It's moving." He whispered. "Someone's controlling it again. A lot of it..."
Donald's feathers ruffled. "What do we do your majesty?"
"We need to send the word to the other worlds to be on high alert." Mickey said.

[Rikugurl]

Riku moaned again as he continued to rub his hands lower. His eyes were closed... and due to the Darkness, he took no notice until Sora pulled away.
He looked down at the other but blinked, looking up at the lights as they flickered. The sound of thunder was in the background and he smiled, pulling his long hair behind his ear.

"It's just a storm. No worries."
Riku had been through MANY storms. He was a little worried about Tensaid though... he never liked the storms. He hoped Kairi, Tidus and Namine were managing the little boy.


Flashes of purple lighting struck down onto the world, hitting the mountains and water.
The wind blew hard through the islands and mainland, the trees bending as they were pushed.
Paopu fruit were snapped off the trees and sent flying into the ocean.

[Reno]

The lights flickered again and Sora pouted a bit. He knew the lights were a few minutes away from completely shutting off. In storms like this the electricity was never stable - and once it was off it was off for the night until the elctricians got back to work in the morning. But tonight... more then any other night he wanted to be able to SEE Riku...

"Yeah but..." He thought for a few moments, then smiled as an idea struck him. He carefully pulled Riku's hands from his pants, grinning. "Wait right here. I'll be back in just a sec." He gave the other a placating kiss on the lips before hopping from the bed and hurrying from the room - nearly tripping on Invidia on the way out.

The carbuncle barked, jumping up and hurrying after her master as he rushed down the stairs. She sat down in the kitchen, tilting her head and watching his odd behavoir.

"Why do we keep them so far away?" He grumbled, opening up a drawer as the lights flickered again. He reached in, grabbing a whole mess of sticks with metal plates on the bottom and a box of something that rattled. Then, as if another thought hit him he opened up the fridge and sntached out a bowl of something sweet smelling even though it had a lid on it. She heard the brunette grumble, "I knew you'd do that Riku."

He topped the sticks and small box atop the bowl, then he seemed to pause. He hurried into the living room, pumcncing over her, and snatching up something that had a chain rattling in the middle of it and had fluffy loops at the end. It had been sitting on the mantle where he had left them the other day.

"Daddy? what are these?" Tensai asked, holding up the fluffy looped things.
Sora blanched and took them quickly. "Uh, uh nothing important Ten! They're just uh... Riku's! Yeah Riku's!" He threw them on the mantle, hiding them behind a picture frame.
"Come on Sora we;re gonna be late!" Riku called. "Don;t you need to bake a cake?!"
"Yeah!" Sora called, snatching up his son.

Her master laughed evilly, sticking them in his back pocket as the lights flickered again. As he passed her, he leant down to give her a pet. "Now you don;t say a word Vi."

The carbuncle purred, watching him colelct his things and walk back up the stairs. She hurried after, loyally sitting back outside the door once more. No matter how much contact she wanted with her two masters right now NOTHING would convince her to stay inside with them while they... conceieved.

Just as Sora reached the door, the lights gave out shrouding both in complete darkness. "Heh, knew that would happen." The faint flicks of lightning barely iilluminated the room - and there was no moon due to the clouds.

Sora walked over to the nightstand, setting the bowl down then snatched up one of the candles he had brought placing it atop the nightstand. With a whoosh he lit a match then the candle. He quickly gathered up the other candles setting a few on their dresser and stop a few of the boxes they had in the room. It illuminated the room in a warm orange glow and he turned towards Riku, walking back over. "Okay, now this is perfect." He whispered, grinning micheviously as he suddenly pounced the the silverette, tackling him down onto the bed.

His hands wandered all over the contours of the silverette's chest, and leant down, latching his lips around the hollow of Riku's neck and started to suck.

[Rikugurl]

Riku continued to kiss the other, his hands wondering lower. He blinked though as Sora pulled away. "H-hey. Wha---" He grew a dull face as Sora rushed out of the room, hearing a yip and some ungraceful footing.

He looked up, watching the light flicker and the lightning crash outside. Odd.... it was a perfectly clear day today.
He frowned as he looked down at his hand, feeling it tingle. The same sort of tickle he feels moments before Twilight Requiem appears.
His eyes grew dark and he thought.

That night... it had stormed.
The night both boys Awakened. The day was clear too...
His keyblade only calls when trouble is afoot....

Before he could think more about the situation, the door was opened once more and the lights went out. He looked around, the crashing of lightning brought some light into the room.
A flick of fire made him look over, seeing Sora light candles. He smiled softly, happy that Sora seemed to feel better.

The warm glow of the candles made him smile more. It had been a long time since they used candle light.
"You knoooooooooooo!" He was suddenly pounced on and fell on his back on the bed. He raised an eyebrow but suddenly moaned loudly as he felt the other suck on his neck. His pale fingers reached into brunette hair, tugging it softly. "Sora..."

[Reno]

"Mmmm..." Sora moaned against the others neck as he felt the fingers tugging. He straddled the other, rubbing their pelvises together.

He pulled away from the other's neck, seeing the dark mark of a growing hickey and he grinned, brushing their lips together teasingly, before his expression grew mischevious as he dipped his head, hot breath making silver hair flutter... and latched his lips around an earring decorated ear. He fluttered his tongue across the many rings, sucking softly.

[Rikugurl]

His fingers wrapped around the hairs as he shifted his head so Sora could get more of his neck. His cheeks started to redden as he felt Sora's pelvic grind down on his. Instinctively, his hips moved with the other. "Mmmmmmna...."

When Sora pulled away, he smile softly as their lips met... but blinked when nothing came of it. He looked over, feeling hot breath blow his silver hair away from an ear and...

His eyes widened, feeling the tongue go down his earrings. They shifted in his ear, making the sensation go down his spine.
Well... that was set in stone now. He felt blood flow and gripped onto the back of Sora's neck, drawing him closer. "Ahn...Sora..."

[Reno]

Sora smirked, feeling Riku's body tensing a little and thrust his hips down against the other's again, groaning softly. The vibrations of his tongue went against the other's ear as well.

He felt the hands at his neck and suddenly squirmed out of them, letting go of Riku's ear and kissed at his collarbone. He looked up at Riku, eyes glowing and he suddenly reached up curling a hand around Riku's wrist, pinning it down.

abruptly, he grabbed the handcuffs in his back pocket the ring of the chain Riku's only warning before his wrist was caught in one ring, the second snapping closed around one of the poles of the headboard.

Fast as lightning he snapped up his belt still hanging off the side of the bed, and while Riku was still disoriented grabbed his other hand, and bound it with the belt against the opposite pole of the headboard.

Sora grinned leaning back on Riku's lap to admire his handiwork. It's been awhile since they had used the handcuffs too.
