Me: So many stories.

Mims: Don't care, write.

Cautai: I want cookies.

Me: So do I, you're a bad influence.

Mims: Don't ignore me, write the damn story!

Me: Someone's a little testy. Yeah well, I'm sorry for the delay, I just have so much work to do right now. I've got this, Therapy, Akuroku in Wonderland, Tales of Insomnia, and now Cautai's going on about To Be almost none stop. My brain is kind of on fanfiction overload right now. Plus I have to get the extended version of Axel likes it when done…

Mims: Stop staring at YouTube

Me: Huh? Oh, I'm watching YouTube yaoi AMVs right now. My entire Kingdom Hearts playlist is basically yaoi in some form or another…I'm getting really off topic. Right, so Corrupted. Check out the end note for my Corrupted contest, anyone could win and I'm sure you want the prize.

Suna's assasin: I hope you got my update for DA, if not, here it is.

Ilovecats86 Yeah, Axel doesn't really care for Sora all that much. He just sees Sora as something getting in his way while trying to get at Roxas. I hope that my dead older brother explanation was enough, because you're not getting any more about the whole Roxy thing. If not then just tell me and I'll try to incorporate it in again and if I can't then I'll send you a PM explaining it. Roxas sure is emo, but that's just his character in this story. Oh my god, I had the best image of Sora running up to Roxas and just licking him on the side of the face! Then when Rox goes 'What the hell Sora?!' Sora just goes, 'I needed to lick an emo, that girl told me I'd die if I didn't.' And there would be me snickering in the background…with a camera…yeah. Maybe Sora knew that Axel and Riku could hear and maybe he didn't, I'm not telling yet. Sora never can cook can he? I think it has to do with his short attention span that makes people think he can't. Though I know that's not a good reason because I have the attention span of a fly and I got an A in every culinary class I ever took and went to culinary school.

Freaky-Wierd-Chick22: Thank you so much, it means a lot that you liked it considering that I felt it left too much open to be the full chapter. I love Zexion in this one, he's not the emo bastard that I try to portray him as in Therapy and I get to show my Zexy love. I hate that in the game he gets owned by Repliku and that his power is a freaking book, so I gave him real strength here. He shows up again a few times and of course Axel is now a little more 'respectful' towards him, but you just have to wait and see what happens exactly. You find out in the (checks what is already written) first paragraph who the silver haired pirate is. I honestly think that's how he looked, though how I first announced it to the world was a little funny. Something about him raping Riku…You'll see what I mean when you read who it is. And if you don't I can tell you that story at a later point. And oh my god, Love Bites is freaking awesome!!!! The last chapter, it was just so good it put me to shame.

Glomping Kawaii: You may be right, or are you? Only I know what they really are! Mwahahaha! I'll be a little more sane now. Great pen name by the way.

Kibaftw: You need to steal your laptop back and secretly go on IM, I miss the perversion. Geometry doesn't matter anyway, you never use it. Axel does get owned doesn't he? I love Zexy; he shouldn't fight with a freaking book. When it got to the Zexion Repliku fight in the game I was screaming at the screen, 'He has a fucking book! He's too hot to have a freaking book! A card duel?! This isn't Yu-gi-oh!' True story. He needs to own someone after that. –eye twitches slightly- Not that a book isn't a good weapon, you can hit people with them and they're heavy, but come on! -takes a deep breath- I'm okay now. And that's the exact reason why Demyx turned him, at least in my mind.

hizeme-neko: Thank you so much, I updated, finally. I was listening to that song for part of the chapter! I listen to this mix I made of Xandria, HIM, Linkin Park, Breaking Benjamin, and Nightwish while writing this.

XxVampirexchanxX: I'm so sorry for the delay, I just got hung up on all my other stories. I literally have three chapters of Tales of Insomnia half finished at the moment. Thank you so much for saying you love it and I hope this continues the streak.

Me: So much to do. –looks at all my other stories-

Mims: Well get this one out of the way so you can move onto them.

Me: Also I made another AMV!!! It's called 'Axel and Roxas are Promiscuous' and is my first attempt at lip syncing, so please check it out and tell me what you think.

Disclaimer: I am a poor college student, not a billionaire owner of Kingdom Hearts rights.

Warning: Stalking, again, Roxas being an emo bitch, I guess you could call it Sora bashing if you wanted, um…I think that's it.

Recommended listening: Xandria (Black and Silver), HIM (Vampire Heart), Linkin Park (Valentines Day)

(Roxas' POV)

I stared at the man before me, completely dumbstruck. I couldn't believe he was here, though I probably should have if I thought about it, the Shoran are in most positions of power after all. "Uncle Xenohart," I say knowing full well that I sound like an idiot. That's when I felt it, their eyes were on us. "It was so nice of you to let us in when father transferred," I continued.

For a moment Xenohart looks confused, then his golden eyes (I have no idea if that's his real color, can't find a picture) flicked towards the window. "Yes of course," he finally said, ""I couldn't well deny your entrance and expect my little brother to still speak to me."

Sora just looked between the two of us, his eyes confused. Looking over at him I tried to make eye contact, but he just wouldn't seem to meet my eyes. Looking back at Xenohart I said, "I'm sure father appreciates it very much."

Sora suddenly made an 'oh' noise and both Xenohart and I looked over at him. His eyes were wide as realization dawned on him. Again I tried to make eye contact, desperate to tell him to act normal, but he wouldn't look at me. Instead he did the stupidest thing he could have, HE LOOKED OUT THE WINDOW!

XxXxXxXxXxXxXxXxXxXxXxXxXxXxXxXxXx

(Axel's POV)

Grabbing Riku by the arm I pulled him to the ground behind a bush, the brunet brat had almost seen us! We had listened to the little conversation from what I thought was a safe location, but that brat had looked right at us. If he had seen us we were screwed. Well, probably not, but it would make things more difficult than they had to be.

"Is something the matter Sora?" I heard Roxas say.

"I thought I saw someone out there," the brunet answered.

"Students shouldn't be out at this time," the silver haired man, Xenohart, said, "I'll have security go check it out."

"It's probably someone just skipping Uncle Xenohart," Roxas said.

"Most likely, we've had a few instances with that lately," there was a slight pause, "Ms. Fair, would you please tell security that there are possible students skipping class somewhere outside my office?"

"Of course Headmaster, I'll do that right away," a woman's voice said.

"Cloak us," I hissed at Riku, "Now." There was no way that I was going to miss out on the perfect opportunity to watch my pet just because security showed up. Still, it would be problematic to have to kill them. I felt the shadow enveloping us more than saw it, and felt confident enough to release Riku's arm. The silver haired Balkan stood and glanced at me before looking back at the window. I didn't like the look I saw in his eyes when I released him, something wasn't right there. It wasn't his normal 'I hate you Axel' look, or even his 'you dumb ass' look. No, it was something more akin to worry. Why would he be worried about me? He doesn't think I'm slipping does he? No, that can't be it. Sure Zexion got the upper hand on me for a second, but I'm not slipping. I'm just cautious that's all. Standing beside the silverette, I cast a wary glance at him before turning my own attention to the office once again.

"So that's your schedules," Xenohart was saying.

"Um, uncle Xenohart?" Sora looked from the piece of paper in his hands back to the silver haired man.

"Yes Sora," he sounded slightly tired, though I suppose it was to be expected, I hadn't had to deal with the brat for more than a few minutes myself and that had mentally exhausted me.

"Why are our schedules so different," the brunet asked, "I thought we would have a lot of the same classes."

"Well Sora," Xenohart sighed, "Roxas is a grade above you."

Wait, that doesn't make sense, they're twins. Shouldn't they be in the same grade then? "Why'd you have to go and skip a grade?" the brunet huffed.

"Because," Roxas shrugged slightly. Of course my toy would be a grade above the brat, he really is just better.

"Angst master."

"Oh come on Sora," Roxas scowled, "You can't seriously be calling me that all day."

"Can too," Sora muttered, but it was so low that I doubt Roxas was able to hear him. I think I might just have to kill the brat for that, Roxas obviously didn't like it so he would have to pay.

"Boys," Xenohart said warningly, "Do I have to call your father about this?"

"No sir," the twins said in unison.

"Good, now get to class."

The twins stood and headed out the door just as a slight rustling sound came from a little ways down the building. Apparently security had finally shown up, not that they could see us. Riku and I simply walked right past them as we followed the two humans' progress. It was easy enough to follow them; there were plenty of windows at HBA. The twins got to one of the main hallways and looked down at the paper in their hands.

"I guess we have to split up here," Roxas said softly.

"I don't like this Rox," the brunet brat whined, "I don't know if I can do the whole school thing without you."

"You'll be fine, I'm sure Kairi and Namine are in the same class as you. Just wait for one of them to show up and hang with them."

"I don't know," the brat bit his lip and actually had the nerve to pout at my pet.

"Sora," Roxas sighed, "There's nothing I can do, we were assigned different classes. We have the same lunch and free period, we can meet up then. Don't worry, it's not like anyone is going to eat you."

"Oh my god!" Sora squeaked, "They'll eat me?!" Wow, just wow, I had no idea that he was that stupid.

"No, no they won't eat you," Roxas pinched his nose slightly, "Sora, just go to class, you'll make friends right away, you always do. Trust me on this one, you'll be fine."

"But Rox," Sora started to pout again and I almost broke through the damn window to strangle him.

"No Sora," Roxas said firmly, "Go to your class."

"Fine," the brat whined.

They headed down separate hallways and I glanced at Riku. "How exactly is this supposed to work?" I asked.

"Well," Riku looked thoughtfully at the window, "It's not like we can really split up without risking being noticed. But I'm not following Roxas, so if we want to continue watching them for now we're going to follow Sora."

"I'm not following Sora," I say, more than a little insulted at the suggestion that I follow that brat around, "We're following Roxas."

"I'm not cloaking you to follow Roxas," Riku had the audacity to snort at me.

"And what would be so damn funny," I growled.

"You think I'm going to follow after your little blond just because you're older. I'm not wasting my time on him. If you want to follow him then you're on your own."

"You little," I had to get a hold of myself before I did something I would regret. I had to remind myself of my duty, that killing my little brother would probably go against it. After taking several deep breaths I looked back at the silver haired Balkan. "If neither of us can get what we want," I said slowly, barely holding onto my control, "Then neither of us should get anything. They said they have the same lunch, we can wait until then and observe them for a while. And they have the same free period, so we can watch that. Until then we can just get some sleep and rest." I didn't much like that option, it wouldn't do to have Roxas snatched up by some whore while I was away, but I didn't really see any other option.

It seemed that Riku was just as unenthusiastic about that particular plan, but he nodded anyway. "We don't know when they have lunch and their free period," he said slowly, "We need to figure that out so we can come back."

"Hm," I tapped my chin slightly, "It would probably be easiest to simply look at one of their schedules. The brat would be easier to get it from, he probably wouldn't notice his things being disturbed."

"Are you calling my pet a brat?!" Riku's aqua eyes flashed dangerously.

"No, I'm calling the brat a brat, you're the one calling it a pet," I shrug knowing full well that I'm pushing my luck, "Come on, we need to go after him to get that schedule."

Not waiting for Riku to say anything I simply grabbed his arm and dragged him towards a door. I made a point of ignoring the grumbling that was coming from the silverette, it didn't matter and I didn't particularly care. "Do you find it odd that they're related to the principle?" Riku suddenly asked.

"What?" I raised an eyebrow at him as we made our way down a deserted hallway, "Why do you bring that up?"

"Well, it just seems kind of odd to me is all," the silver haired Balkan shrugged.

"Not really, it explains why they were able to get in here. I mean HBA is a really hard school to get into after all."

"But it seems like it's more than that somehow," Riku stopped suddenly and frowned at the wall opposite us.

"It's not that big a surprise to me actually," I pause to look back at him, "Think about it. They have a really big house, a nice car, nice clothes, the whole nine yards. It all adds up to that they're rich, so why wouldn't they have family ties?"

"I don't know," Riku started walking again, "I just don't like it is all."

I chose to ignore him after that, it's not like the twins could really do anything to us anyway. Plus I was too busy trying to track the brat down to actually care what he was saying. I've got a pretty good nose for a Balkan, better than most in fact, so I could make out the brat's scent in the hallways. I was kind of annoyed that I was able to tell his smell apart from all the rest. It's not like I'm Zexion for crying out loud! That freak has the nose of a Lycan. I shouldn't be so damn hyper aware of everyone's scent. Finally I came to where the smell was the strongest and peering through the window on the door I saw the brat sitting at one of the desks in the classroom. "How are we going to get in without being noticed?" the thought hadn't occurred before we arrived.

"Um…" Riku frowned slightly.

"Come on Nammy," a voice whined behind us. Turning I found that infuriating redheaded slut that had attacked my Roxas in front of the school walking towards us, the blond girl at her heels. "We need to hurry up."

"Calm down Kairi," the blond shook her head slightly, "It's not like when we arrive is going to make a difference."

"But I want to see if Sora and Roxas are in our class," she actually stomped her foot slightly at that.

"Rox won't be in our class," the blond sighed, "He skipped a grade, remember?"

"Oh, right, well we could have ended up with Sora. Oh wouldn't that be fun?! I hope I get to sit next to him, we always have the best conversations."

"This is why only Roxas skipped a grade," I heard the blond sigh as she shook her head.

I watch the pair approach with a slight scowl, they are obviously close to the twins, closer than me at least. They know Roxas better than me and that makes my blood boil. I have to fight the urge to light them up for my own amusement as I stand to the side to allow them to open the door. Ducking in behind them, Riku and I make our way to Sora's desk and I start looking over the myriad of papers that are already in front of him. My eyes stray back to the girls at the front of the room who are introducing themselves to the teacher. I'm going to have to kill them, that much is clear. Roxas probably finds some kind of comfort in their presence and to take that away will help to break him quicker. I think I'll do it in front of him, force him to watch their slow deaths. I won't let them go quickly, not like my last toy. I'll make it last hours, maybe days. If I can make him think that by giving in will ease their suffering it will all be worth it. If he thinks it's his fault, that doing whatever I say will cause those around him to be spared, that will make him mine for all eternity. Wait, did I honestly just think of having him forever? Why would I do that? He's just a pet, a toy, not something to cherish. I must be falling off my game, I need to take him and get it out of my system.

I feel Riku nudge me and looked back to the desk. The silverette was pointing at a piece of paper lying on the floor. Bending down I saw it was the brat's schedule. Sending a quick smirk up at Riku I scanned the paper for the brat's lunch and free periods. Lunch at 12:00 and free time at 1:30. Glancing up at the clock on the wall I saw it was only 8:15, plenty of time to make Riku pay for refusing to follow my pet. Waving a hand at Riku to follow I made my way to the door and simply threw it open before walking out. A gasp went up at our departure, but I honestly didn't care, I had my information no need to be so damn secretive any more. I heard Riku snickering slightly at my actions, but I honestly didn't care, not like it was going to change anything.

We made our way out of the school silently and without any kind of interference, not that I really expected any with Riku cloaking us. The damn silverette may annoy me to no end, but he is good at what he does. At the exit to the school I saw the security still looking around for possible students and couldn't help but to light a small fire next to one of their shoes. It was worth missing out on watching my pet to see the fat old man jumping around as he got burned. Riku didn't seem to share my amusement, but I didn't really give a shit what the bastard thought at that point. Silently we made our way back to the house and once inside I had to stop, something was off. Glancing over at Riku I saw that he had narrowed eyes and was staring intently into the living room. Following his line of vision I stiffened. There stood the last being that I wanted to see, if only for great distaste of him.

"Hello Demyx," I snarled, "What do we owe this pleasure to."

"Oh nothing much," Demyx chirped as he made his way towards us. If there is one thing about Demyx that pisses me off, and there are actually many, it's that he is far too happy all the time. Right now he had his usual goofy smile on and I had to remind myself that attacking him was a bad idea, water puts out fires after all. "So Axel," the mullet haired blonde's eyes suddenly took on a hint of mirth, "I heard that Zexy kicked your ass last night."

"If that's why you're here then I'm going to have to ask you to leave," I snarled, not even trying to hide my distaste any longer.

"Oh, don't be so mean," Demyx pouted, second reason I hate him, "I didn't come to rub it in your nose or anything. I'm actually here because Zexy didn't want to talk to you but had information for you."

"Really?" I said sarcastically.

"Ignore Axel," Riku sighed, "He's just grumpy because he doesn't have his toy yet."

"Ug," Demyx made a face at me, "I don't know how you can take toys, you don't know where they've been. What you need is a mate, like I have Zexy."

"Demyx," I growled.

"Axel," Riku murmured warningly, "Demyx, what was the information?"

"Hm? Oh right! So Zexy said to tell you that he found out there's more than one pair of Shoran in town. And there was something else," Demyx tapped his chin with one finger and stared off into space, "Oh well, can't be that important if I don't remember it."

Maybe I should make a list of all the things that Demyx does that pisses me off and give it to him so he can avoid doing them, one of us will live longer that way. "Demyx," I said slowly, "Try to remember what the other thing was."

"Why?" Demyx seemed to be honestly asking me.

"Because," I barely kept a reign on my rage that had built up by this point, "It could be important."

"Um," Demyx stared off into space once again as if the answer would be there, "It was…OH! I remember!" Thank you space, you have finally done something for me. "You're the targets."

It took a moment for me to realize that my jaw was hanging open. "HOW DID YOU FORGET THAT?!" I screamed at him.

"Um," Demyx took a step back his eyes wide, "It slipped my mind."

"Demyx," Riku sighed, "You're an idiot. I think you should leave before Axel tries to kill you."

"Okay," Demyx had returned to happy mode and practically skipped out of the house.

After a moment I spoke, "We're in deep shit now."

"Yeah," Riku nodded, "Shoran don't just give up."

"We need to get out of town as soon as we take the twins."

"What?!" Riku turned to me, indignation written across his face, "Are you stupid? We can't take them now, the Shoran will only be spurred on. Plus we don't know for sure that they're not Shoran."

"If they were Shoran we'd have been attacked by now," I waved his concern away, "Especially if we were their targets. They have already talked to us, if they meant to kill us then we would have been attacked as soon as our backs were turned."

"No, there were witnesses."

"Not this morning, we were all alone at that meeting. And there was last night, they would have sensed us there and killed us as soon as the barrier went off. They're not the Shoran, I can confidently say that much. As for the Shoran being spurred on by their disappearance, well we just have to take them and move to another location right away. It would be best to switch towns completely, but I don't know how necessary that is."

"You are an idiot, we're doomed," Riku threw his hands up and turned away from me.

"Do you want to just leave your pet behind?" I asked cautiously.

Riku turned back to me and scowled, I had won this argument. "We need to do it soon," he said softly.

"I agree with that much, but we probably won't have the chance today. They're still in school and there's not much we can do while they're there, too many witnesses and it would definitely get to the Shoran. Maybe tonight," I said thoughtfully.

"You're forgetting something important," Riku sighed, "That barrier will protect them."

"Fine," I snap, "Then tomorrow on their way to school. We swoop in and knock them out before we take them. Then we head to another location in order to avoid the Shoran."

"That could work," Riku said slowly.

"Get some rest," I sighed, "I'll look into finding another location and wake you when it's time for the toys lunch."

"Alright," Riku said and headed down the hallway to his bedroom.

XxXxXxXxXxXxXxXxXxXxXxXxXxXxXxXxXx

(Roxas' POV)

I felt them leaving the premises, which kind of surprised me to be perfectly honest. I had thought for sure that they would split up to watch us, that was their pattern. I couldn't help but to frown at my desk rather than pay attention to the Calculus lecture that was happening, not like I needed to pay attention any way as I already knew it. The Balkans had gone outside their past behavioral pattern, but why? All my research had shown that when the redheaded one found a new toy he became obsessive to the point that he was willing to show himself to the general public. That's how we had tracked them down after all. Why the sudden caution? Could it be because of the silver haired one? We didn't have much data on him after all, it could be that he doesn't have a set pattern. No, that's not it. He may not take toys that often, but his pattern was clear as day. He would always be cautious, but he never technically left his victim's side until he was done with them. We probably needed to make our move soon, they had to be either suspicious or bored to break out of their normal routine.

Turning my eyes back to the board I didn't really see the rest of the lecture, nor did I notice any of my other classes. I wasn't particularly concerned about passing them, I had already technically graduated after all. After this mission I probably wouldn't ever have to deal with school again, it was just for pretences. Finally it was time for lunch, I needed to confer with Sora about all this. Walking through the halls I kept my eyes straight ahead, pointedly ignoring all the girls who attempted to speak with me. I didn't have time to be involved with any of them, plus the Council would be angry if I got a civilian killed. Finally coming to the cafeteria I immediately spotted Sora, Kairi, and Namine. Waving slightly I made my way to them while sending out my senses. I knew that the Balkans knew about Sora and I sharing a lunch period, surely they were here somewhere. Yes, there they were, just on the edge of the crowd.

"Hey guys," I said as I reached the group.

"Hey Rox," Sora chirped, "I have got to tell you about my day so far, it's been awesome!"

Rolling my eyes I nodded and turned my attention to the slop that was being served as lunch. "Ewe," I wrinkled my nose as the smell hit me, "I am not eating that."

"But Rox," Sora frowned, "You didn't bring a lunch."

"Yeah, but that's nasty."

"You guys can share with us," Namine said softly, "Let's go outside to eat, it's really crowded in here."

"Nammy," Kairi whined, "I don't want to go outside, I want to meet people."

"It's okay Namine," I said smiling slightly, "You and Kairi can stay in here, I think I'll just go sit outside, I'm not really hungry."

"If you're sure," Namine said slowly.

I simply smiled and flicked my eyes in the direction of the two Balkans while lifting my ring finger slightly and making a quick circular motion, Shoran sign for target. "Come on Rox," Sora whined and grabbed my arm, "I have so much to tell you."

"Alright," I laughed slightly, "You don't have to pull me."

Slowly we made our way out of the crowded cafeteria to the courtyard. There were a few students scattered around the area, but overall it was fairly clear of potential casualties. I had no idea what the Balkans were going to do, they hadn't followed any of my predictions after all, and it wouldn't do to have them suddenly attack and risk human lives in the process. But we were undisturbed as we made our way to an open area and sat under a tree.

"I have to tell you about my math class," Sora said happily, "The weirdest thing happened."

"Really?" a voice asked above us.

Looking up, I managed to get the appropriate look of shock on my face upon seeing the two Balkans standing there. "Um," I said dumbly, "What are you doing here?"

"Oh not much," Axel said with a slight smile and sat next to me on the ground, "Just wandering by and saw you two, thought we'd come over."

"Is that allowed?" Sora frowned slightly, "You don't go here do you?"

"No we don't," Riku said as he sat next to Sora, "But I don't think it's against the rules either, no one stopped us after all."

"Okay," Sora chirped, reverting to his 'I'm just naïve' act. It was only an act, I've seen the real him. Sure he can be kind of airheaded at times, but he's smarter than most people and very observant for the most part. He's just good at the innocent act so he uses it a lot.

"So," I said into the silence that followed, "Was there something we could help you with?"

I definitely did not like the look that passed over Axel's face, it was just so perverted that I was fairly certain he was going to try to molest me right there. "Well," he said slowly, "We were actually wondering if you two wanted to do something tonight."

"Oh, I'm sorry," I said looking away slightly in what I hoped was a coy way, "But we kind of already have plans with some friends."

XxXxXxXxXxXxXxXxXxXxXxXxXxXxXxXxXx

(Axel's POV)

How could they already have plans with friends?! They just got into town for crying out loud. "Oh, that's fine," Riku said with a smile that I had never actually seen on his face before, "It's good that you're already making friends."

"Actually we've known them for a while," Sora piped up, "You met them the other day, Kairi and Namine."

So they're going out with the whores. "How do you know them?" I asked cautiously.

"We met them at a twin convention our parents made us go to," Roxas said softly, his sapphire eyes flicking to me for a moment, a slight smile on his lips.

"Oh, so they're twins as well?" that didn't bode well.

"Yeah, it's normally just identical twins that go to the conventions, but there are some fraternal as well and we tend to always gravitate to one another."

"I see," I said slowly, "So, are you dating them."

Roxas actually choked on his own breath and Sora thumped him on the back while giggling insanely. "We're not dating them, that would be creepy," the brat said cheerfully as Roxas tried to get his breath back.

"Creepy?" Riku asked, seeming to be truly interested in this one.

"Yeah, we're both gay," Sora said happily and I think my nonexistent heart skipped a beat, "It would be weird to date a girl."

"Sora," Roxas hissed, "You can stop hitting my back."

"Oh, sorry, didn't notice you could breath."

"I hope that doesn't put you guys off," Roxas said looking up at me with, dare I say it, hope, "I know a lot of people don't like to associate with gay people."

"Oh no," I waved my hand in dismissal, "That doesn't bother us in the least, after all," I smiled flirtatiously, "We're gay too."

"Really?!" Sora leaned forward then smiled at Riku, "That is so cool."

Riku just smiled down at the brat. I have to admit, it did make things a little less complicated. At the very least my pet would likely experience some pleasure later on. I realized that I was smiling down at Roxas with the same elated expression that Riku was wearing, but I wasn't about to stop. Roxas started to turn pink, his eyes dropping from my own to wander the courtyard. His sapphire orbs flicked back to me and upon seeing that I was still looking at him turned a brighter shade of red and stared at his hands. It was undeniably cute to watch, he honestly seemed bashful. I'd have to break him of that habit; he would be staring at me with total adoration and hunger by the time I was done with him. His eyes flicked back up to me and I sent him my most suggestive expression and his blush deepened yet again.

Sora started to snicker, "Hey Rox, can you get any redder?"

"Shut up Sora," he muttered under his breath.

"Oh come on Rox," I said slinging an arm around his shoulder, "Not like we're doing anything yet."

"Yet?" he squeaked.

Sora burst out laughing at that. "Oh my god Rox!" he pointed and clutched his side, "You should see your face!"

Roxas threw my arm off and grabbed the brat around the neck before proceeding to mess his hair up even more. I couldn't help but to burst out laughing at that, the look on the brat's face was priceless, not to mention the look of absolute horror on Riku's. Roxas released his twin and sat back with a satisfied smirk. "So do you two have anything to eat?" I said through my chuckles.

"Oh," Roxas seemed to have remembered I was there and turned to me, "No, the school food is nasty and we didn't bring anything."

"You are so getting your toothpaste switched on you," Sora growled as he tried to straighten his hair back out.

"Yeah, yeah," Roxas waved a hand in dismissal, "Fish paste right?"

Sora just glared, though from him it wasn't a very scary look. Riku started to fuss over him and began to help fix his spikes; it honestly reminded me of an overprotective mother fixing their child's appearance. "So," I drew the groups attention back to me, "Want to go somewhere to get something to eat?"

"We can't leave school grounds," Roxas actually looked shocked, "We'd get in so much trouble. The headmaster is our uncle, he'd definitely notice if we suddenly vanished on our first day."

"Oh come on," I nudged my blond slightly; "We'll have you back before anyone notices."

"We can't," Roxas said a little more firmly.

"But Rox," Sora seemed to have started to pay attention to the conversation at last and turned his eyes away from Riku, "We won't get anything to eat otherwise."

The blond sighed slightly, "Well, we do have a free period at the end of the day. We can probably hang out with you guys for a bit before we meet up with Kairi and Namine tonight."

"Great," I slung my arm back around the blond, "When should we come to get you two?"

"We get out at 1:30," the brat chirped.

"We'll wait outside the gate for you guys," Riku smiled affectionately at the brat.

Roxas looked like he was about to say something when a bell rang out. "Oh crap," he frowned, "We need to get going. We'll see you two later."

Riku and I watched as the twins ran off back to the school. Roxas' ass swayed just so nicely, I had to resist the urge to simply run up behind him and grab it. "Someone's being awfully nice," Riku smirked slightly at me.

"At least I'm not fussing over my pet's hair like some kind of mother hen," I glared at him.

The silverette simply shrugged and stood up. "Hey," he said dismissively, "I got to touch him didn't I?"

"Yeah, but I got to put my arm around mine," I sneered receiving a scowl in response, "Cloak us, we'll just hang around until they come back out."

An hour later we were right by the gate, just as promised, but there were no twins in sight. "You don't think they forgot do you?" Riku frowned slightly.

"No," I shook my head in response, "They seemed far too excited to forget."

Just then our pets came into view, both scowling slightly. That look didn't suit my pet at all, he shouldn't ever have a sour look on his face, he's too angelic. They came up to us and Roxas' eyes flicked between Riku and I, though I wasn't at all pleased that Riku was getting any of my pet's attention, while Sora's eyes stayed fixed to the ground. "Um," Roxas said, suddenly seeming doubtful, "We're really sorry, but something came up and we have to go home right away."

"What?" I was more than a little stunned, "Why?"

"That's really none of your business," Roxas said shortly, "Come on Sora."

"Sorry," Sora smiled weakly at us, "But it's really important that we go."

Riku and I watched as our pets hurried off down the street and out of view. "What just happened here?" I asked the silver haired Balkan.

"I think we just got blown off," Riku said uncertainly.

Creature Tutorial! (Ooh, ah)

I am such a dork for putting that in. (Shakes head in defeat)

Balkans

As previously stated we are going into Balkan society and sense of duty. Balkan society is fairly complicated. It has a semi aristocratic ordering to it with pure bloods at the top and rank is recognized by strength. However, strength is more important than lineage or blood purity in Balkan society. As seen in the previous chapter Zexion totally owned Axel without even breaking a sweat, this makes him higher up than Axel even though Axel is a pure blood. Balkan society doesn't have a specific governing body; it's more of a follow the strong guy mentality.

Despite not having a specific governing body Balkans have a very strong sense of duty. They are extremely loyal to their own kind, even if they do not particularly like their own. They will take it as a duty to follow the orders of those that are stronger than them and follow those orders to the death because of it. One thing that is unique to pure bloods is the duty of family. Because they are born they have family, those that are turned don't consider any other creature family unless they have children themselves. The older Balkan in a family is quite literally stuck protecting the younger members for as long as is needed. In order to get out of this duty the younger Balkan needs to expressly say that they do not want protection any more. Even if a Balkan is released from that duty they must protect their family if need should arise and could be called back to it at any time.

Shoran

This chapter we discuss the Shoran Council. The council is the Shoran ruling body. It consists of both men and women of varying ages and backgrounds. Only the younger twin is on the council as it is the general rule that the younger is more competent and just all around more powerful. Council members inherit their position from their parents. All Shorans follow the Council's wishes without question. The Council will set up assignments according to mostly its agenda, but it also assigns targets in order to protect humans. In general Shorans have become known as Vampire and Werewolf killers because of this practice, but in truth the Council only assigns such missions when it is in their own best interest.

The Council has power that extends far beyond only Shoran society. They have their hands in most world politics and the general economy. The Council is recognized by most of the world's governments, but it is an unofficial recognition. The official view is that Shoran do not exist and neither do Balkans or Lycans.

Next chapter we look at Shoran and Balkan powers as well as Lycans in general. If you have specific question please don't hesitate to ask, I might leave something out without ever realizing it and don't want to leave people in the dark.

Me: Another chapter is done, and it only took forever and kept me up till…god damn it it's nearly 3:00 in the morning!

Mims: Not enough creepiness.

Cautai: Why am I even here for this story?

Me: I'm not putting more creepy stuff in this chapter Mims, and Cautai, I'm not entirely sure why you're still hanging around for this story, you don't get to inspire anything after all.

Cautai: I hate you so much right now.

Me: You might get something after this contest, depends. Right, so I'm having a Corrupted contest, because I like contests. I'll bold it so people read it.

Introducing kelle611's Corrupted contest!!! I'm not holding Corrupted hostage like I am Therapy, I'm not that mean. So here's the contest, guess Roxas and Sora's father. First person to correctly guess who their dad is gets an oneshot of their choosing. That means you get to tell me what you want written and I will do it, no straying from your wishes. I'm not giving any hints as to who the dad is other than his twin is Xenohart. Like I said only the first person to get it right gets an oneshot. I will send the oneshot to the winner and then it is their choice of whether or not I even post it. Meaning if you win you have the choice to keep it to yourself for all eternity. Only rule if you keep it is that you can't post it under your name; that is what we call plagiarism and is illegal. Here's the rules.

1) Only one entry per person!

2) Only one character guess per person!

3) Any male character not previously mentioned is fair game, but mentioned characters cannot be the father.

4) Please don't put down female characters as the father (I'm looking at you Kiba, admit it, you would).

5) The answer is not their father, dad, daddy, etc., so don't even put it down.

6) The character must be seen in the Kingdom Hearts series.

7) Needs to be human! No Tigger or Winnie the Pooh, that's just creepy and I don't do inter species.

Breaking these rules results in disqualification and even if you got it right I won't even look at your entry. So if it was Axel, which it can't be, and you said Axel and Zexion (who it also can't be) , you would be disqualified because you put down two characters and because you used previously mentioned characters.

Me: So there's the contest.

Cautai: Please pick me to inspire it!

Me: That's up to the winner. I suspect someone will figure it out fairly quickly, so enter right away. And if you don't enter, then just review! I love reviews, they make my day.
