Title gleaned from FFX-2, focused on characters from FFVII and FFVIII, set in KH world(s). Because I can. XD

I know this type of story has been done before, but I don't think I've found one this way. It'll be multi-chaptered, but not very long because I suck at the plot. (And I really don't want to hear any character bashing in reviews, plzkthx. *heart*)

Chapter 1


Just past eleven on a cold, blustery night, the front door to Cloud and Leon's home opened, and a rain-soaked figure moved silently into the warmth of the living room, slowly shutting the door behind him.

"Leon?" Cloud stood suddenly, dropping his book in favor of the blanket draped over the back of the couch. He strode over to the dripping man and threw it around his shoulders. "What happened? Are you okay?"

Leon wouldn't meet his gaze, staring somewhat blankly at his chest.

The blond grunted at the lack of response and pulled him closer, rubbing his back through the thick wool to warm him up and frowning even more as Leon just stood there stiffly. He stepped back. "Leon? What's going on?" he asked firmly.

"She..."

Cloud furrowed his brow, tilting Leon's chin up to force him to meet his gaze. The brunet's eyes were glassy.

"She's back."
