A:N/ okay here's another chapter which is not for the faint hearted, I hope my crappy writting doesn't bother you too much. reviews are more than welcome. Song is by evanescence-feild of Innocence. I don't own KH never will, or anything from the FinalFantasy francise. Don't sue me.

Riku was having a sleepless night, tossing and turning groaning as the voices of the others repeated through his head. He had met with their superior officer who sat there the whole time expecting Riku to spill his guts as if he was overcome by guilt. Riku had waited until the superior knew he wouldn't answer unless asked, the questions began. Riku felt as if he was in a firing line. The questions done all said and answered he was allowed to go back to his 'free' time. But not before the lead nobody swung his chair around,

"Be careful Riku. You've been alone for far too long."

"Sir?"

"Be sure, that what you take into the palm of your hands wants to be there in the first place."

"I know what I want. Sir."

"Oh and what is that?"

Riku for once didn't answer straight away, the leader looked at him peering over his fingers, interlaced beneath his chin.

"I want an end."

The superior smirked, his blonde hair rustled against the light breeze that came through the window.

Riku rolled over the walls a dull grey colour brought to life by the moon shining through his window. He was snapped out of his overtired ramblings when he heard a thumping noise. Slipping a white shirt over his head and adjusting his grey tracksuit pants, he walked down the wooden stairs. The lights were on, but nobody was sitting on the lounge, or in the kitchen as he later discovered. Everyone was at one part or another in this abandoned military base. The military had long gone, democracy held little power where the gangs were concerned. Seeping through the cracks and tearing down old walls, the gangs made their own rules and were slowly taking hold of whatever they wanted.

A small part of the somebodies believed that the gangs existed to hinder each other. Others believed that they were going to bring an end to everything that happened after the demise of SOLDIER, and the rest. They hoped that it would be over soon. SOLDIER the last main military force that kept the city running without criminals and what not. SOLDIER, the very essence if not threads that their society ran on. SOLDIER, the breakdown of their cities existence. SOLDIER, the false advertising that had eminent murder labelled on almost every citizen. SOLDIER the cause of genocide, their pain and the start of their 'new beginning'. Riku scoffed at the thought, it wasn't the start of a new beginning but rather the preface to the road of their abolition.

The banging continued on, Riku halted. He knew where the sound was coming from. Turning towards the darkened hallway he walked past the various posters of recruitment on the walls. Stopping near the open port, of which the military used to hold ammunitions and what not, he turned to the metal handle embedded in the floor. The basement of the port, which was used to shelter civilians, hide precious artillery and torture unsuspecting victims. Riku mentally shuddered remembering the sight of the 'hatch' when he had first come upon it. Having not cleaned it since the military's last subject blood stained the walls, the smell of rotting flesh hung in the air. That was Riku's only mental image for three nights as he was initiated into the Nobodies by spending his first three days down there. Alone and without any contact from the outside world, the cracks of light from the barred window were his only console.

Luckily for the boy, the hatch had been cleaned after Riku's stay no one recently had been in there so it should be clean. A prison of the mind and soul where impending thoughts of doom could consume your body, make you sick, make you shiver and make you sweat. It wasn't a very happy place albeit however hygienic.

I still remember the world
From the eyes of a child
Slowly those feelings
Were clouded by what I know now

Riku walked towards the hatch, the banging getting louder.

Where has my heart gone
An uneven trade for the real world
Oh I... I want to go back to
Believing in everything and knowing nothing at all

His fingers hesitated as his body felt the cold of metal.

I still remember the sun
always warm on my back
Somehow it seems colder now

He was still somewhat terrified of the square room, he shook his head and slid open the door. It made a loud bang as it collided with the other side, the noise echoing through the port. The banging halted for a second, and that's when Riku heard the whimpers and a muffled sob. The banging's started again. There were two sets of breath in their, one even and fast the other badly shaking hardly alive at all. Riku jumped into the hole without a moment's hesitation, he was not prepared for the sight before him. There was the boy pushed up against the wall his back bleeding and naked from the waist down, his assailant knife pushed into the side of the boy, eyes gleaming with lust. Pants unzipped. The man's long hair and amber eyes made him appear to be animal like. The boy whimpered and looked to Riku, pleading for help.

The other man turned his head and looked at Riku a greedy sneer falling along his lips as he began thrusting again, the boy cried out Riku's name for help. Before Riku could stop himself he had wrenched the man off the other boy who slunk to the floor, and began to deliver some well deserved punches. The man still smiling laughed, and coughed up blood as he apologised to his senior.

"Fuck! Saix, why the fuck would you do that." Riku was only met with a sinister, hacked laugh.

"My superior told me too."

"He did what?" Riku shook his head, the superior wouldn't he couldn't of. He wasn't that type of leader.

"The heartless will be interested to know of your…significant other."

Riku wasted no time in knocking the bastard out cold. He sat there panting heavily when he remembered the boy. Walking over the boy flinched as Riku came close. He crouched down and looked to the face of the boy whose hair was sticking to the blood on his lips and forehead. Riku reached forward to lift away the hair, when the boy pushed his hand away. Riku, lowered his hand the boy obviously did not trust him. Looking to the hatch door he stood up, only after seeing the boy release another wave of tears.

"Take him to the hatch."

"Boss?"

"Now!" Riku didn't look at the boy as Luxord took him downstairs.

The kid probably thought he was the one who had set Saix upon him; he did lock him up in this hell hole after all, that was bad enough. Riku crouched back to the boy sitting next to him against the wall. "I never intended for this to happen"

The boy sniffled next to him. "He came on his own, whatever instructions his 'superior' gave him… they weren't from me."

Riku turned his head to the boy, who looked up and met his eyes,

Where has my heart gone
Trapped in the eyes of a stranger
Oh I... I want to go back to
Believing in everything

Riku turned over and offered his hand, "You should get cleaned up."

"Why so you can just throw me back down here again!" Riku's hand flinched as the boy yelled. He had trained his face not to give away anything, yet some parts of his body covered for his lack of emotional expression. Something in the boys broken voice made him want to reach over and hold him, but he knew he couldn't do that.

Where has my heart gone
An uneven trade for the real world
Oh I... I want to go back to
Believing in everything
Oh, Where

"It was a mistake for me to put you in here in the first place. You wont be staying here anymore, I above all people should have never forced this upon anyone, no matter how cocky or smart they were being to my colleagues." Riku's attempt at humour did not seem to make the boy relax any further. "You can stay…with me tonight. I doubt I'll be getting any sleep anyway, I'll make sure you are safe."

"You! Make me safe." The boy scoffed.

"I can leave you here, would you prefer that?" Riku had become tired of the boy's untrusting nature, it was understandable sure, but he hadn't had any sleep. God he was tired. Then again most probably was the boy.

The boy flinched. Riku did nothing but stand up and stretch his hands over his head; he quickly lowered them as he felt cold air hit the flesh of his stomach that was showing. Riku looked down to the boy, to his surprise was staring at him. Quite intently.

"Look I ap-"

"What do you mean by 'with you'?" Riku was caught of guard as the raised his head and stared at Saix still lying unconscious on the floor.

Riku paused, what did he mean? "You will be in my charge; anyone lays a finger on you they deal with me. Does that meet your standards?"

The boy shivered and tried to maintain the glare he was giving Riku. "Where? I mean where will I b-be staying?" Riku hid the smile that was threatening to show, the boy hadn't quite covered the shivering.

"Like I said, with me."

The boy tried to stand up but winced and struggled to get off the floor. Riku went down to carry the boy but was met by slap on his hand. He reached again, the same outcome. Riku grew frustrated the boy was hitting his hands very hard; he stoped the boy with one swift movement. Ceasing both his hands in his own. The boy stopped frightened, Riku stared into his eyes making the boy know he was tired of games. Said boy looked the other way as Riku leaned down to slip an arm under his back, pausing the boy still did not look at him, which gave Riku a go ahead to put him other arm underneath the boys legs. Now the boy turned towards him, blue eyes intoxicating his mind, making it hard to think straight. With an exhale of breath Riku lifted the smaller boy off the ground. One of the hands belonging to the boy entwined its fist into Riku's shirt, he was scared and in pain. Upon entering his room, Riku quickly took the boy into the bathroom adjacent his bedroom. His room had belonged to the old colonels and used to house three of four grown men, with one large shower and two faucets he wondered how they managed. The light flickered on, the white of the bathroom and its tile illuminated by the halogen.

Riku laid the boy on the bench that was situated in the middle of the room. It was used as a place to keep things needed for after or before the showering, toiletries, clothes, sometimes ammunition. Riku walked over the cabinet and pulled out some bandages and disinfectant, he turned on the shower and walked back to the boy. Riku sat him up, with a few hisses of protest from the boy, to look at his back. Said boy slumped forward, rolling to his side.

"I can't, I can't it hurts." Riku looked down his back and the sight of the man with his zipper undone reared into view. He nodded and decided that he should get the boy into the shower as quickly s possible. The boy faltered as Riku went to take his shirt.

"Don't worry; I haven't got any interest in you. I don't want you staying in my room drenched with blood. This shirt is covered in blood, can you see my problem."

The boy nodded and Riku slid the shirt tentatively over his head. Now was not a time for Riku to pause and take in his situation, there in front of him was a badly injured boy, correction naked boy, who was in his care. 'Fuck' was the only way to voice it. The boy looked questioningly at Riku who shook his head and muttered that his back was pretty badly done. Picking up the boy again he put him in the shower, the boy shivered and Riku sat there watching the water encompass him. Riku had become wet in the process but didn't care as he saw all of the boys dried blood wash away down the drain. He'll become clean again, eventually.
