A.N: I'm sorry for the delay. Yesterday, I had loads of problems getting on-line. Well more like staying on-line so in the end I gave up, after much pouting and swearing in disgust at the computer and BT. This might be the last chapter for a little while, no more than a week I hope, as I am going to be rather busy. If there is still no update by this time next week, feel free to leave reviews threatening me with virtual bodily harm if I don't get my butt in gear!

Chapter eight: What The Darkness Concealed.

Xander watched as Riddick gave a tense nod to his question, before raising his hands in the air. He felt his shoulder's slump; once again he was a liability to someone. Johns had Riddick remove his shades to make him less of a threat in the bright light and still keeping the gun levelled at Xander had them back at the crash site and securely chained to the ship. Only Imam had protested when Johns claimed that Xander was too dangerous to them left free. Johns had worked on their fear of Riddick and mentioned that it was probably Xander that had freed him before, that together with Zeke's mysterious death and Xander had soon found himself cuffed by his good arm alongside Riddick. They both sat in silence, listening to the conversation outside. Johns was insisting that they'd murdered Zeke, Imam remained sceptical, Paris agreed with Johns and the others were not sure what to believe. After a while the discussion petered out without being resolved and they could hear someone walking into the ship, Xander looked up, disinterestedly, it was Fry. She completely ignored him and addressed Riddick,

"So where's the body?" Riddick remained head hanging and unresponsive, "Do you want to tell me about the sounds?" He continued to ignore her, Xander shifted and went to answer but a low warning growl from Riddick, too low for Human ears to hear, silenced him. "Look you told us you'd heard something." Silence, "That's fine. You don't want to talk to me, that's your choice, but just so you know..." She turned and made to leave, "there's a debate as to whether we should leave you here to die. Both of you." She shot a pointed glance at Xander and started to stalk off angrily.

"You mean the whispers?" Xander shivered at the huskiness of Riddick's voice. Fry stopped, turning and walking back towards them slowly, nervously.

"What whispers?" she said quietly edging closer, Riddick shot a smirk at Xander, before blanking his expression again.

"The ones telling me to go for the sweet spot...just to the left of the spine...forth lumbar down...the abdominal aorta. It's a metallic taste, human blood. Copperish. If you cut it with peppermint schnapps, it goes away..." Fry shot him an angry look; finally realising he was messing with her.

"Do you want to shock me with the truth now?"

"All you people are so scared of me... and now my boy." Riddick said lowly, almost as if talking to himself, "Most days, I'd take that as a compliment. But it ain't us you gotta worry about now."

"Show me your eyes Riddick." She said softly, Xander began to growl under his breath, as Riddick had been talking her scent had changed from one of fear to a growing interest, sexual interest. Xander knew Riddick was sexy but he was his, not hers. He wanted to spring at her in defence of his territory; the only things currently stopping him from doing so, were the complete disinterest he could scent from Riddick and the cuff around his wrist.

"You'd have to come a lot closer for that."

'Grrr! She'd better not!' thought Xander, glaring at her and growling; louder now clearly audible in the silence. Fry ignored Xander's threat and stepped forward a little.

"Closer." She cast a nervous glance at the chains holding Riddick in place and scrubbed her now sweaty palms down the front of her trousers. Xander was no longer growling... he was snarling. Fry paid him no mind, all her attention was riveted on the man before her. When she was within five feet of him Riddick sprang into motion, leaping forward until he was halted by his chains. He was stopped less than a foot away from her and opened his eyes. They glowed silver in the darkness. Cold and emotionless, panting with fear she nodded and stepped back a pace. Xander stopped snarling in satisfaction, there was no arousal from her now...only fear. His and Riddick's heads snapped to one side startling her again.

"Where the hell can I get eyes like that?" It was Jack; 'he' was staring at Riddick with fascination, 'Great!' thought Xander, 'More competition.' Riddick smirked at 'him', taking the opportunity to further unnerve the off-balanced Fry.

"You gotta kill a few people."

"Okay, I can do it." Riddick laughed slightly and turned his head back to Fry

"Then you gotta get sent to a slam...where they tell you you'll never see daylight again. You dig up a doctor...and you pay him twenty menthol kools, to do a surgical shine job on your eyeballs..." Riddick trailed off, Jack was grinning as 'he' half asked, half stated,

"So you can see who's sneaking up on you in the dark?" Riddick turned and gave Jack a pleased grin,

"Exactly."

"Leave!" Fry yelled, before repeating it in a calmer tone, "Leave." Jack glared at her, before grabbing up 'his' things and stomping out. Riddick turned back to Fry.

"Cute Kid." He said still grinning, that was it for Xander he collapsed where he sat and howled with laughter. After Xander had calmed down Riddick started to talk again.

"Did I kill a few people?" He said evenly, as he backed away from her and sat down again next to Xander, "Sure. Did I kill Zeke?" He paused letting the tension rise, "No. You got the wrong killer. Neither of us touched him."

"He's not in the hole. We looked." Fry stated flatly, Riddick just settled back relaxing as much as he could whilst chained.

"Look deeper." He closed his eyes shutting her out. She paused staring at him as though trying to judge how much she could trust him, before whirling around and retreating.

They both sat quietly, after Fry left, listening to the groups plans to enter the cave where Zeke died. They had briefly discussed sending Riddick or Xander down but it was decided that they couldn't be trusted to tell the truth about what they saw. In the end it was decided that Fry would go, wearing a rope to allow the other's to keep track of her and pull her out if she ran into trouble. Once they'd all left Riddick's eyes snapped open and he turned to face Xander, smiling at him.

"This should be entertaining. Can you still hear them? They'll have proof we weren't lying soon. They'll let you loose then."

"What about you?"

"If I know Johns as well as I think, he'll free me if he thinks I can help him survive. Empty promises, then he'll chain me, when he thinks it's safe. He'll want me alive, I'm worth double alive."

"So what will you do?"

"Play along. For a while. Keep you safe."

"Riddick? Did you catch Jack's scent?" At his nod Xander continued, "You know the demon? He said that we had to ensure the girl survives. I think he meant Jack. No one else fits."

"Why?"

"He never said. Just said it was important. There was a little more to the wi... well you know, to that. In one of my dreams I was dancing, did you have the same one?" Riddick nodded again, "Well it's an image from a game that recently came out in my dimension. About Summoner's and their Guardians... I kinda mentioned the dreams in the W word. I wanted to be a Summoner and with you as my Guardian and go through a Pilgrimage..." Xander took a deep breath before babbling out the rest, "AndIthinkthatoncewesaveJackwe'llendupinanotherdimension,onaplanetcalledSpira!" After a few minutes while Riddick worked through the babble in silence, he shrugged, not particularly bothered at the revelation.

"Not much keeping me here. I go where you go."

"So you're not mad at me?"

Riddick went to answer but suddenly stopped, holding up a hand to keep Xander quiet. Xander listened hard, trying to see what had caught Riddick's attention, after a little while he could hear it too. Fry, she was screaming, yelling something he couldn't quite make out he thought it was something about "inside" it was too muffled. He thought Riddick could hear her though he shot him an inquisitive look,

"She's terrified yelling 'I'm here. Please help me I'm inside' the others haven't caught it yet, though. I can hear her heartbeat. Pounding." Riddick began to jerk his chains mimicking what he had heard. Getting faster, building, until Xander felt his own heart racing in sympathy. Suddenly Riddick stopped; in the silence Xander could hear the other's voices again all of them including Fry's. They'd got her out in time from the sounds of things and from that last shout of Fry's; they were starting to believe him about what had happened to Zeke. There were sudden frantic shrieks for help then they went quiet again. Riddick turned to him and grinned, "Told you they'd learn the truth." Xander just stuck his tongue out at him.
Xander watched Johns as he swaggered up to Riddick smirking; at least until Riddick spoke,

"Finally found something worse than me, huh?"

"So here's the deal. You work without chains, without bit and without shivs. You do what I say, When I say it."

Riddick snorted, "For what? The honour of going back to some asshole of a cell? Fuck you."

Johns shrugged, "Truth is I'm tired of chasing you. The way I see it you could have died in the crash." Xander could actually smell the lie. He knew Riddick could too.

"My recomendation? Do me. Don't take the chance that I'll get shiv-happy on your wanna-be ass." Xander tensed in fear what was Riddick doing, he moved uneasily, "Ghost me, mother-fucker. That's what I'd do to you."

"Oh? I don't think I need to do that..." He trailed off and looked pointedly at Xander when he continued, "Do I?" Riddick tensed at the threat in Johns' voice. Johns moved rapidly and drew his gun pointing it at the chains holding him and firing, freeing him, before he spoke,

"I want you to remember this moment, the way it could have gone and didn't." He smirked and held out Riddick's shades. In one move that Xander could barely see Riddick lunged forward and grabbed the gun from Johns aiming it at him, his whole body tense with anger at the threat to his mate. Xander watched silently, his instincts were telling him that if he interfered he'd weaken Riddick's position, well that and the fact he was quite enjoying the look of fear on Johns' face.

"Take it easy." Johns said softly, nervous at the rage Riddick was displaying.

"Fuck you!" Riddick cocked the gun; Johns quickly raised his hands,

"Do we have a deal?"

"I want you to remember this moment." Riddick said mocking Johns' earlier words, he was in control of his rage now, "The keys..." he inclined his head towards Xander, "give me them." Johns nodded and slowly unhooked them from his belt, tossing them towards Riddick, without altering the aim of the gun Riddick shot out his free hand and caught them. "Now back off." He watched as Johns did so, once he was far enough away that he could easily respond to any hostile move Johns could make before it would have a chance to reach them, Riddick lowered the gun, emptying it of shells before tossing it at Johns feet. Then as if to dismiss Johns as any sort of threat, he turned his back on him, bending and unlocking Xander's cuff, before standing and gently pulling him to his feet. Johns bent and grabbed his gun before tossing Riddick's shades at him and turning rapidly left, annoyed at loosing that round... but satisfied he'd got what he wanted.

Riddick stood in front of Xander, looking at him, admiring that he was his, Xander could feel himself start to blush at the desire he could see in the other mans eyes. Riddick moved slowly raising a hand to grasp his boy's jaw, "Beautiful." he murmured, huskily, causing Xander to shiver. Slowly the larger man bent forward and brushed his lips over the others, keeping the kiss light, he knew they wouldn't be left alone for long and he... they couldn't afford being found in a vulnerable position. He deepened the kiss slightly, unable to resist the chance to taste his boy again, before reluctantly pulling back.

"Come on, let's go join the sheep. They're movin' out, looks like we've been invited. Stay close to me Xander, I want you in sight." He finished seriously, with a commanding growl laced through his words. Xander nodded and gave a low whine of submission, he would; there was no way he'd disobey Riddick when he used that tone, it was pure alpha male. He wondered briefly, if he was having an easier time accepting the more... animalistic parts of his new form, due to his previous possession by the Hyena. He certainly had no problems interpreting Riddick's various growls, nor any problem with how to respond to them. Riddick satisfied he'd gained Xander's compliance to his demand, led him out to join the others, pausing only briefly, to put his shades on before stepping into the harsh light.
