Are you sure that's a dog? *HidanLuver*

"You've said that already." Cayden stated when Ryota yet again said that he hated him. He followed Ryota to the cage and closed and locked it behind him. "I'm fully aware that this is animal cruelty, but why are you even acting like there is a chance I would care. You really are the biggest idiot I have ever met." He explained. Kuja smirked and laughed lightly looking at them for a moment and away from the documentary which was about over now. "Now shut up, I might let you out again later. Maybe I'll even let you go swimming." He said with a smile sitting back down next to Kuja. The feminine man knew what that meant right off the bat and giggled slightly at the thought of the sight.

Ryota muttered angrily under his breath a trail of curses once the cage was locked, hunching his back and resting his elbows on his knees, and his head on his hands. "Well I was hoping you might maybe find a soft spot for locking up a child" he muttered a bit louder before dropping down and muttering curses again. He stopped his muttering when he was told to shut up, and he brightened up a bit. He was hoping he'd actually be let out later, so he was planning on staying as quiet as possible now. He raised an eyebrow at the swimming part, not sure weather to believe him or not. Knowing Cayden, it was probably a bad thing, so he wasn't sure weather to be happy about that or not.

Cayden smirked, "I don't have a soft spot for anything, I was born cruel and grew up around cruel people. I'm not going to have a soft spot." At least he was pretty sure that he didn't, but he hadn't encountered anything he just couldn't hurt. All of his friends were cruel vicious people as well, so if he didn't stay as tough as he was he would get beaten. Some of his friends could pull off the nicer act but Cayden wasn't one of them. "And since when are you a kid. If I can consider you a 'kid' then Kuja's one to. No I'm pretty sure you're an adult." He said his smirk never faltering.

Ryota sighed angrily, leaning his head back. "Oh come on. I grew up around cruel people and I have soft spots" he retorted, rolling his eyes. he wasn't too sure what his soft spots were, but he was sure they were there. "Okay well maybe I'm not a kid, but compared to you I am" he added a muttered "Old fart" onto the end of that, hoping that Cayden didn't hear, but he wasn't sure how quiet he was capable of being. All he knew was that Cayden's logic was bullshit, as far as he was concerned.

Cayden laughed a little and shook his head, "I should beat you for that one. If you wanna call me an 'old fart' shouldn't you at least look younger then me?" He shook his head, "And I have no soft spots. I've learned to adapt to stand all of my friends nasty habits." He paused as he thought, "For example Kuja and Weiss...and your weird habit of kidnapping and torturing children. Isn't yours a grudge against your brother or something?" Cayden asked looking at Kuja who shrugged, "Well yeah, but it's gotten addicting." Cayden sighed and looked back at Ryota, "So you have soft spots...? For what? And obviously the guys you hung around aren't nearly as bad as the guys I hang around. For example. Sephiroth, he tried to destroy the Planet because of a grudge against the company that killed and abused his mother...or something like that. He almost succeeded twice..." he explained with a slight frown. But he wiped it off his face as he looked back at Ryota.

Ryota shot him a glare and sighed in irritation. He did look older than Cayden, which was the sad part. When he started listing off things that were wrong with his friends he raised an eyebrow. How do you get addicted to kidnapping anad torturing children? "Well probably. . . I havn't exactly figured out what they are yet. Well. . . I know some pretty messed up people too. Zetsu's a cannibal. . . Hidan's an immortal Jashinist and sacrificed people to his god using some long ass bloody ritual. . . Itachi murdered his entire clan other than his little brother. . . Sasori turned himself into a human puppet and when he kills people he sometimes makes them into puppets as well. And there are more" he stated, stretching his arms up. Maybe the Akatsuki wasn't as severe as Cayden's friends, but some of them had pretty damn creepy habits.

Cayden smirked as he explained the insane people he knew. "Alright...so I'm not sure about the cannibal...but Hidan would have a soft spot for his god. Itachi for his little brother. Sasori it would seen then isn't really human and therefore wouldn't have any human like emotions because how would you turn yourself into a puppet...he must have mental problems." Cayden took a deep breath before he started on some of his friends, "Kuja here abandoned his family and has an ever lasting grudge on his brother. I've told you about Sephiroth. Nero and Weiss have killed hundreds of people on the idea of summoning a beast that would bring about the worlds end. Kefka is very literally insane and is bent on gather power and will literally stop at nothing. And there are more. All of them have one soft spot, am I right Kuja?" he said looking at his friend. Kuja smirked and nodded, "Yeah ourselves...we all love ourselves and could never do harm to ourselves, I mean the fact that something DID happen to Sephiroth is the reason he's mad at the world." The feminine man explained. Cayden nodded, "Right," he turned back to Ryota, "The same applies for me, and it simply makes us more powerful and cruel."

Ryota concidered these, shrugging. It made sense, although he wasn't sure if he'd go as far as say Hidan had a soft spot for his god. He would do anything for the will of Jashin, but he wouldn't describe it as a soft spot. Itachi, yeah. Sasori. . . well they all probably had mental problems in some form or another. He listened to what he had to say about his friends, raising an eyebrow. "Wow. . . self centered much" he said with a light snort, shaking his head. "We tried to take over the world. . . it didn't exactly work. . . but we got pretty far in the plan" he said, thinking about it. That had been before he was born, and he had no idea what the whole point of Akatsuki was anymore, but it was probably something strange. "Most of the people I live with were just freaks. . . most more so than I am" he held up his hands, and the tongues lolled out of the mouths, grinning stupidly.

Kuja laughed slightly, the most narcissistic of them all, his love for himself going much farther then just being self centered, the one thing he might love a bit more then himself being Cayden. "Yeah obviously it didn't work if I've never heard about it." Cayden said with a frown, though he hadn't heard of much. He had been locked up in a cage for most of his life, how was he supposed to know what was going on outside his glass confinement. Cayden said and did nothing when he said that everyone he lived with were freaks, he didn't think that wasn't true. Kuja though put on a rather disgusted face at the tongues on the blonds hands. "You haven't met Kefka." Cayden said. Kuja visible shuddered and curled up grabbing onto his knees, "He is CREEPY!" the feminine man said shaking his head.

"Well it was pretty damn close" he said with a shrug. Ryota ran a hand through his knotted hair, sighing slightly. What he would give for a brush right now. "Hmm. . . is he really that bad?" he asked, raising an eyebrow. He figured that if Kuja had that much of a reaction, he must be. "I mean. . . I lived with a shark-man, a plant-man, three immortals, some dude with an eye-disease, a human puppet, some old dude with these weird tendrilly-thingies. . . those are the creepiest" he laughed slightly. It sounded worse said out loud. . . they weren't as creepy when you'd been living with them forever.

Kuja blinked a couple times as he thought about them in comparison to Kefka, "Kefka's way worse, and surprisingly not on your list. He's a demented, insane, creepy, scary CLOWN." He said. Cayden looked at Kuja and blinked though he agreed he thought maybe Kuja was over reacting a little. Cayden was always pretty sure that Kuja had something against Kefka, it was probably the fact they both theater crazy or maybe it was just was Kuja's scared of clowns or something. Cayden had never bothered to ask.

Ryota was silent for a minute, not too sure what to think of that. "Umm. . . a clown?" he repeated uncertainly. He got the 'demented, insane, creepy, scary' part, but he wasn't too sure about the last thing. "He actually looks like a clown? Why?" he asked, not sure why anybody would exactly want to look like a clown, but whatever. "What do you have against clowns anyways?" he asked, grinning slightly. The way Kuja said it, it made it sound like he was scared of clowns or something.

Kuja frowned, "Yes a clown, I don't know WHY he does it, he just does, and it suits his stupid personality. Which, have I mention, is incredibly creepy and fucked up." He said shaking his head and frowning, "I don't have anything against clowns in general. Just Kefka. I don't like him, that's all there is to say about it." he said shaking his head a bit more violently his hair getting messed up. Cayden was curious. He probably did have a reason and he wanted to figure it out. He leaned towards him and put a hand on his knee smiling slyly. "Come on, you can tell me can't you?" He said in a deep voice. Kuja looked at him his eyes wide as a blush creeped onto his face. Cayden prepared himself to be pounced on but it didn't come. Kuja pushed him away, "No I especially can't tell you!" he exclaimed before getting up and running away up the stairs until Cayden heard a door slam. He blinked a couple times from where he was now sprawled out on the couch, "Um...so I'm guessing he got raped or something." he said to Ryota though he looked where Kuja had run off.

Ryota raised an eyebrow, confused, but he didn't push it any farther. "Umm. . . alright then. That's. . . interesting. . . " he said slowly. From the reaction from that, he figured some kind of grudge or something. His eye twitched slightly when Cayden tried to get it out of him, and he turned his head away, not exactly wanting to see where this went, until Kuja jumped up. He looked up, raising an eyebrow again. At what Cayden said he didn't know weather to laugh or to be creeped out. He settled with both of them. He started snickering, trying to hold it back. "That's really, really creepy" he said before actually bursting into laughter, forgetting the earlier threats from Cayden and Sephiroth both for him to shut up.

Cayden laughed slightly, but it really was creepy. When Ryota really started to laugh though he frowned, "You've already pissed off Sephiroth once this morning...Kuja just ran into his room and now you're going to give him a headache I'd shut the fuck up if I were." Cayden's own headache had subsided and he could see why Ryota would want to laugh so he himself wasn't all that pissed off by it, he just didn't want the blond to bother Sephiroth. He was surprised Sephiroth wasn't up all of a sudden. What the hell did Kuja do to him? He was curious but didn't do anything.

Ryota bit back his laughter when Cayden spoke, just snickering a little. "He can't go around trying to rape people if he's been raped. That's just stupid and makes no sense" he said, shaking his head, but still snickering. He had to find it amusing, just because he tried to rape him. Seemed like karma, even though he was raped before this, but whatever. It was close enough. He knew he was going to piss off Sephiroth if he was too loud, so he managed to keep it down mostly, controlling even his snickering now.

"I guess he can...I guess it's kinda how he gets his revenge on Kefka...or maybe Kefka didn't rape him and they just had sex...no matter what it has something to do with sex if Kuja refuses to tell me." He said with a shrug. He was silent for maybe a second before there was a loud thud from upstairs in Sephiroth's room and a very loud groan of pain. Cayden stared at the ceiling and blinked a couple times, "What the hell...I knew Kuja was in there...but what is he doing to Sephiroth to get him so pissed off?" Cayden asked more to himself running a hand through his silver bangs.

Ryota rolled his eyes when he was contradicted. He turned sideways so his back was right in the corner, and his legs stretched across and up into the other corner, the only way that they could be straightened. "That makes no sense at all" he sighed, shaking his head. He didn't know if it made sense to Cayden, but it made no sense at all to him. He looked up at the ceiling at the thump and groan, raising an eyebrow. "Umm. . . I have a feeling I don't want to know" he said, looking out the window instead.

Cayden thought for a moment. "I don't want to risk dying...so you go up and check for me." He said taking out the materia to open the cage again. I'll escort you to the stairs. He said as he got up off the couch and walked over to the cage unlocking it and opening he door. "Just...don't make it to obvious that you're there...alright?" he asked with a smirk still pretty curious, he didn't hear anything anymore...but Sephiroth was probably beating up Kuja.

Ryota wasn't really listening to what he said, just looking a the materia as it was taken out. "All right" he said cheerfully, getting up and stepping out of the cage before stopping, the smile falling off his face. "Wait. . . what!?" he asked, letting the words sink in. "There's no way I'm going up there!" he argued, crossing his arms stubbornly and shaking his head, taking a step back, which caused his back to bump into the cage. He didn't exactly want to be out of the cage now that he knew the reason why.

Cayden frowned when Ryota started to tell him that he wasn't going to do it. "Yes you are going up there. It's not like anythings going to happen to you and chances are Kuja's in pretty rough shape...I'm sure you'd love to see that." Cayden said pulling his hair back and twirling it again because it was everywhere again. He leaned on his left leg and gave Ryota a look that said 'I'm not going to take no for an answer anyway.'

Ryota concidered it for a moment, not too sure weather to resist more and get beaten up, then die, or to just go and die. "You're lying. . . they're gonna eat me if they figure out I'm there" he said stubbornly, shaking his head again. Sure, he had done surveilance work before on dangerous people. . . maybe not this dangerous, but dangerous none the less. And he had come out alive, and they were none the wiser. . . but he still didn't think this was a good idea. He didn't care about the look Cayden gave him. he wasn;t going volentarily. . . unless he was bribed. . . other than that, he would have to be forced.

Cayden sighed, "Then don't let them find you..." he paused for a moment figuring Ryota wanted something if he was being told to do this. "I'll let you have an entire meal and you can sleep in one of the guest rooms tonight if you go do it." Cayden said as a bribe running a hand through his hair and looking down at the floor slightly ashamed of himself for having to actually give his pet something like that in return for stuff that he should have just done anyway because he told him. "Now go." he said pointing down the hall.

Ryota rolled his eyes. . . that much was obvious. He wouldn't plan on getting himself caught. He brightened instantly at what Cayden proposed, but cautiously look at him, wanting to make sure he wasn't lying. "You promise? Seriously?" he asked, starting to walk towards the stairs anyways. He could just as easily return to his cage if the answer was no, although he doubted Cayden would say 'no' even if he was lying. That would just be stupid.

When Ryota left the cage Cayden closed and locked it so there was no turning back as he started to follow the blond towards the stairs, "Well...we'll see how well you do on this little mission first." He said with a smirk. It wasn't a no, but there was still a chance that Ryota got nothing and really Cayden didn't expect him to do to well so he probably wouldn't be getting anything anyway. He walked Ryota to the stairs and motioned him to go up. "Now hurry up." He planned on guarding the stairs so the blonde couldn't make a run for it, but in case he was stupid enough to try and jump out a window Cayden started using his power in a very selective manner increasing the gravity only outside of the upstairs windows...he was glad he knew his own property well enough to do this.
