A idea I've had for a while. Reviews are welcome, flames will be used to
roast the scumbags Ansem, Gol, and Pegasus. A joint effort between my
muses, but mostly... Me, actually.
Honorary Mention goes to Ozric 750 from Runescape community for Takeo's name! Thanks! (When I first came up with this, I was stuck calling him Yami.)

*********************
~~~~~ We are in the library at the Hallow Bastion.
Leon climbed the bookshelf quickly. In the three years since the heartless had disappeared, he had come up here to think often. He sat for a while, museing over life, the universe, and everything, in no particular order. For a while he thought of Sora (the kid with the keyblade) and his sweetheart, Kairi. And he thought for a moment of the heartless. ::No, that's behind us now. They're gone.:: And he thought of how Yuffie had gotten MORE hyper, if possible, and how now she could beat him about half the time.
A flash of red and shining grey catches his half-closed eyes. He turns his head quickly, but only catches a glimpse of the figure under the brilliant hair before it darts around the corner.
::Curious.::
No one in the castle has silver hair. Let alone silver streaked with dark red.
***
~~~ We are in a small, dark room. There are four figures in the shadows, difficult to make out.
The second largest figure speaks first. His hair is brown streaked with silver. His light green eyes burn with anger, masking worry. His name is Takeo.
"Neko, how could you let him see you? After all these years, why is it now that one of us is sighted?"
The girl Neko looks down, ashamed. The noteable silver and red hair Leon saw falls across her lavender eyes. Something seems strange about her ears.
"I'm sorry, Takeo, but... I was curious. I still am. He's been here for so long, and hasn't proved himself evil, or even mean, yet."
The smallest and youngest person in the room, Anzu, pipes up in Neko's defense. We can barely see her deep blue eyes, half obscured by the ruddy chestnut hair shading her face.
"Takeo, leave her alone. He only saw her for a moment."
Oni, the oldest, glares at her, his hair and eyes both reddish- for the moment. He seems to be wearing a short black cape.
"Anzu, have you forgotten Ansem? We're not safe out there. We will never be safe." His hair sets back to its normal tri-color, though his eyes retain a slight scarlet hue.
Takeo frowns. His eyes seem to flash yellow. "Oni, don't say that."
Oni frowns back. His hair turns solid silver, and his eyes turn orange- like Ansem. "Takeo, is this natural?" He changes again. Anzu shuffles uneasily, and something behind her seems to stir. Oni continues, ignoring her. "Or this? We are FREAKS. Me more than you three, maybe, but still. And people are afraid of freaks. Hidden is the only way we are safe."
Anzu speaks out quaveringly. "But, Oni, how much would they do? None of us is older then ten. We're just KIDS."

As I said, reviews are welcome. Like? No like? FORSHADOWING! Many hints of conflicts ahead!
Ember: That's because you've outlined ahead. The fight scene with Neko and Takeo vs. Oni needs work, BTB.
SSH! They don't know about that yet! (shifty eyes)
