Alright! so I decided I would take a crack at writing this! Seeing as it popped into my head and refuses to go away! So without further ado! Here is it!
Note: this is AU AND a mix between mid-evil and futuristic. so there will be some new technology, modern technology, and older technology.
Disclaimer: I don't own Kingdom hearts... nor do I own any of the Final Fantasy characters. I only bought the games... oh! and Sileas is a creation of my own!
Side note: YAY for LEONXCLOUD!!!!
Cloud looked up from where he'd been cleaning his sword. He'd heard a crash from somewhere above him and frowned. His house was normally silent save for the small noises of the young girl living with him. He sighed and stood.
"Sileas?" He called, walking through the halls towards the stairs. When no answer came he burst into a run up the flight of stairs and into the library where the noise had come from.
"Sileas!?" He stopped, sighing in relief only as his gaze came to rest upon the fifteen year old. There she sat, amidst a pile of book, searching for her sun glasses as her clouded, milky white eyes gazed unseeingly out at the world. Her layered rust colored hair fell down her back, the white braid falling along side her right eye.
Walking over, Cloud helped her up and straightened her black jacket, covering her black tank top and white shirt below that. Her jeans were covered in dust, but she could clean that on her own. He picked up her sunglasses and handed them to the blind child.
"Here... You alright?" Sileas grinned widely at him.
"Yup! Thanks! Sorry about the mess..." she trailed off. Cloud allowed another sigh. He could never be mad at her, worried, yes, but never mad. After showing up, alone and abandoned, nearly five months before, Cloud had been elected to take care of her. Cloud was what most would call a regular warrior, mercenary would be more of a correct term. He lived in the capital of the kingdom, fighting whenever he was needed.
One day Sileas had just shown up, bleeding and hungry. Aerith, the local healer, did what she could, but even then she could not keep the teen with her. Tifa refused, seeing as she had no room left in her orphanage and Barrette wasn't making her job any easier. Cid was never around to take her in, seeing as he was always trying to get his planes to work. And there was no way the king would take her in. Yuffie was a no go as was Vincent, the man was always disappearing for long periods of time and he was an even worse conversationalist than Cloud. So to the shock of most the townsfolk, cloud volunteered to adopt her.
After a bout a month of her living with him, Cloud had noticed that she was pretty good with a staff when some of the local kids had been picking on her due to her origins and her obvious blindness. So after purchasing some sunglasses for her, he taught her what he could in staff fighting.
Sileas, as it was obvious, was not from cloud's kingdom. Her copper colored skin attracted people's curiosity or envy, making her life so much more complicated. Her eyes, if they weren't clouded over and silvery white, would have been a brilliant gold, making her look like a goddess. But to Cloud, she was perfect. Yes, in only a matter of five months, he'd already slipped into father mode. They'd become a close knit family of two and they were comfortable like that. But Sileas did have complaints about having only one parent. She'd often go on about how Cloud needed to find himself a girl, or at least a guy that would settle down with him and every time Cloud just shook his head and tuned her out.
"Sileas... what were you doing up here?" Cloud finally managed to say, not quite sure as to why she was in the library.
"Well... I heard something in here and I decided to check it out. And me being me! Forgot that this was the only room I hadn't memorized. So instead of dragging my fingers along the wall like I normally do, I stepped out into the center of the room and tripped on something. What I tripped on I still have no clue. But anyway! So I tripped and I landed on the bookcase which caused this entire flood of books to come down on me! It was so cool!" She squeaked out. That's when the groan of plain caught his attention. Looking down at the pile of books, Cloud noticed a few shifting as if some one else had been in their path. Glancing around, he noted a window was open and the cool breeze was blowing through and into the room. Grabbing a nearby dagger from the fireplace, he uncovered the intruder and held the dagger to his throat. Stormy grey eyes glared back at Cloud through brown bangs. He was definitely not from around here.
"A spy..." was all he needed to say for Sileas to immediately snap her mouth shut and go quiet.
I know it's short but that was only the intro for the three main... well two of the main and a snippet of the third. Hopefully you know who it is! I plan on making these nexgt chapters longer. I was rushed on time today... SAD!!!! so please! Review!
