Final Fantasy character not from KH is appearing!

I will make these notes up here whenever that's the case.

Lily-Thanks! And I would but I don't have anyone that likes the same fanfics that I do(fandom-wise) so there's not really anyone to read it before I post it.


"Squall Leonhart! You're an idiot!"

"Yes…I know…" Leon groaned as he tried to watch television but a certain someone that keeps calling him an 'idiot' was purposely blocking his view,

"You're just plain stupid!"

"Yes, yes, I've heard you call me names for the past 10 minutes, we all got it," Leon stated with a sigh and tried to watch the football game that was on. He's really not that into sports but he'll do ANYTHING to distract him from this scolding he's getting and keep him sane until it was over.

"Squall! Almost the entire neighborhood was calling the cops because they heard a lion! It's things like this that's going to get us exposed!"

"Ugh…I know, Rinoa, but my son was about to become the next meal to a vampire! What do you want me to do? And why aren't you yelling at Kairi, she transformed too!" Leon argued but Rinoa only placed a hand on her hips,

"Kairi was adopted!"

"So? Her parents know!"

"That's not the point! And she's only a teenager!"

"So? You still need to tell her how dangerous that was!"

"And I will! But you're more thick-skulled than she is!"

"Oh I am not…"

"Are so! I should know! I was part of your pride!"

"Yeah, yeah…"

"Squall!" Rinoa was appalled at Leon's current attitude.

"What?" he barked back.

A knock against the wall and a throat being cleared made the two look over at Cloud who stood by the living room's entrance with a tray in one hand,

"Sorry to interrupt but I thought this would be a good time for a break," he said and walked over to put the drinks down.

"Yes, thank you, Cloud!" said Rinoa with a smile and walked over to seat herself beside Leon on the couch to pick up her cup.

"Tea? Cloud you know I hate tea!" Leon lifted his cup as if telling Cloud to get him something else.

"Then get something else yourself. Rinoa is a guest and this is her favorite," Cloud stated and Leon sighed in defeat,

"Rinoa! You're a frickin lioness! How can you drink this stuff?"

"Unlike you, I learn to adapt. And Cloud, have I ever told you that you're my favorite human?" Rinoa asked and took Leon's tea cup when he offered her his.

"Um…I think so," Cloud replied and Leon rolled his eyes,

"What about Kairi's parents?" Leon challenged,

"They're very nice too! And I love them! But they're not married to you!"

"You are so cold to me now," Leon muttered as he shook his head.

"…So um, what's going on, Rinoa? Is there something I should be worried about?" Cloud asked in concern for Sora.

"Well, there's going to be some trouble covering up for Leon but so long as nothing was seen, we should be okay. Leon's roar did scare the neighbors, as well as people about to pass by, into hiding so I'm pretty sure no one saw anything."

"And what about the vampire?"

"I'm sorry to say that I have no control over what the vampires do. They do have to kill to eat," Rinoa pointed out with a sigh.

"Oh…"

Rinoa wished she could lie for Cloud regarding the vampires, as she hated to see her favorite human sad.

"Don't worry, Cloud. I'm sure Sora will be fine!" said Rinoa with a reassuring smile.


Roxas stumbled through the castle in his yesterday's clothes until he reached the stacks of barrel in the kitchen. Living there for so long he could literally get there walking blind. He pulled out his mug and got himself some blood from the barrel. It was the daytime and he should be sleeping but he couldn't get Sora out of his head.

"Roxas! You're up!"

After drinking down half, he groaned turned around,

"What do you want, Demyx?" he asked tiredly before quickly drinking the rest, "Mm, its positive blood today."

"Zexion is coming back!"

"…I know," he replied bluntly. THIS is why Demyx was up? To wait for Zexion?

"Aren't you happy?" Demyx nearly demanded.

"Well I really like him so I'm glad but…he was only gone for two weeks."

"That's a long time!"

"Not when you've been alive for a couple hundred years…" Roxas rolled his eyes and poured himself another round of blood.

"Well I still missed Zexy!"

"Well you were the one that bit him in the first place…" Roxas muttered to himself.

"So anyway: I'm bored. Want to go out today and go shopping?"

"Well I don't really…" Roxas stopped himself before reconsidering, "Actually…yeah I'll go with you."

"Awesome! Thanks! I need your fashion advice to impress Zexion!"

"Yeah, yeah, alright…"

"Cool! Let's go after noon when we've eaten!"

"Sure…"

With that, Demyx skipped off and Roxas shook his head before finishing his second cup and headed back towards the sink to wash it.

Demyx was right about eating lunch before going. If he ever saw Sora again on an empty stomach, he'd go after him without thought. But he did want to see Sora again, that's why he agreed to go with Demyx. It's the weekend and teenagers often go to the mall. Of course the boy could be traumatized and stay home but it's still worth a shot.

Sora was a half-breed. It intrigued him. He's been alive for around a couple hundred years and never came across one. Or perhaps he did but never knew. For all that time he almost thought they were myths. After all, who would fall for a human? They're weak, die earlier than any other creature, stupid, and just over all: ew. They were food and nothing else. Kind of like when humans eat chicken or burgers. That's how Roxas sees humans.

But what does that make Sora then? A tofu food?

Roxas shook his head. Now he was just thinking like Demyx.

"You're wasting our water…"

Looking over his shoulder he saw Zexion staring blankly at him. The young man was still wearing his black travel cloak that covered his body completely. Roxas assumed he either just got back or he was back already but was hiding from Demyx and couldn't change.

"Oh, right, sorry," Roxas shut the water off and placed his cup in the rack, "Nice to see you back, Zexion."

"Hn, I only wished I could've stayed away longer…two weeks is too short," said Zexion with a sigh.

"I know," said Roxas and walked up to him. The two stared briefly at each other before heading out of the kitchen and into the living room where they sat on the couch together.

"Here, while away I saw these novels. You might like them," Zexion handed Roxas a sheet of paper with titles on them.

"Thanks, and I reorganized your bookshelf for you like you asked," Roxas pointed behind before he stuffed the paper into his pants,

"Thanks…" he murmured and leaned back to rest.

"Zexion, can I ask you something?"

"Don't you always have a question when you hold that expression?" Zexion asked as he closed his eyes. Roxas only rolled his; he'll never know how Zexion reads him so well.

"There are such things as half-breeds right? How rare are they?"

"Half-breeds huh? We're talking half-human and half-something else right?" Zexion questioned without opening his eyes or moving.

"Yeah that."

"Well that's hard to say. Half-breeds can go through their whole life without ever being found out what they truly are. I'm sorry to say that I can't give you a good number."

"Well…why does it happen? I mean…who would fall for a human?"

"You'd be surprised."

"…How? Give me an example!"

Zexion opened his eyes and sat up, giving the blonde a look.

"You've been alive much longer than I have, but you never heard of that incident roughly 15 to 20 years ago?"

"What incident? I was living in England 15-20 years ago!" Roxas countered, "It was my 50 year vacation, you know I got back just 5 years ago."

"…And no one mentioned it to you? It should've spread to England."

"I was on vacation," Roxas emphasized, "And I don't know, Axel might've said something but he and I don't really care about 'news' and stuff like that since they die real fast anyway."

Zexion only shook his head disappointedly,

"The big 'news' is related to us vampires. Tell me right now who the current Head Vampire on the Council is," Zexion challenged and Roxas only paused to stare at the ceiling in hopes he'll get an answer.

"Isn't it Sephiroth? Oh wait…"

"No, he's dead," Zexion cut in, "Vincent Valentine took his place when he died."

"Oh yeah, I remember now! I definitely heard about him dying," Roxas nodded at the reminder.

"Yes, but do you know why?"

"Suicide right?"

"Yes, and do you know what caused it?"

"Of course not, it's not my business."

"Sephiroth fell in love with a human."

"What? You're kidding!" Roxas gapped, "A Head Vampire fell in love with a human? The guy was like…a couple millennium years old!" Roxas wasn't sure how old Sephiroth actually was and thus wasn't sure if he exaggerated that or not and it's not like he knew enough history to know if that's even possible.

"Yes…and I have no idea how you didn't hear this. Even now, vampires are still talking about it. Although not as much in the open anymore. The werewolves mock us for it."

"Oh that reminds me: Are werecats rare?"

"Werecats? In these areas, you could say that. They mostly live in places like Africa," Zexion answered.

"Oh, okay…well about Sephiroth…why? He's one of the oldest vampires in history but…he fell for a human? They're FOOD!"

"I don't know," Zexion shrugged, "But that's what happened. Why are you asking these things anyway?"

"Uh…" Roxas wasn't even sure why himself, "Well I ran into a half-breed on Halloween…" he replied and repositioned himself on the couch as he started thinking of Sora again.

"Oh? Did you kill it?"

"No," he shook his head, "I was sucking his blood until he…let out a cry. Like a very loud cat cry. Then I was attacked by a lion that was apparently the father! Now that I think about it, that cat cry sounded like a lion cub's. I ran away before the lion could bite my head off. Not only that, there was a lynx there too."

"Ah, you were outnumbered AND overpowered. As strong as you are, Roxas, you did make the right choice. Lions are probably the strongest werecats out there. And the fact that this one had a reason to fight, he probably would rip your head off if given the chance."

"Great…but Zexion I don't get it. I find nothing appealing about humans. But that half-breed…he had a family: That lion and the human I saw…" Roxas can't shake that thought out of his head, "I mean…he's a half-breed! He doesn't belong with humans or werecats; his very existence is…is…"

"Wrong? An abomination? Nothing? Non-existent?" Zexion listed for Roxas who couldn't finish his sentence.

"Y-Yeah…I just don't get it! How does he live like that?"

"Well you said so yourself that he had a family so I assume he's perfectly happy with that."

"…Yeah but…" Roxas couldn't take it anymore, "I gotta see him again. I gotta talk to him!" Roxas jumped from the couch and headed to his room.

"Good luck on not getting eaten!" Zexion called after him, referring to the lion.

"Thanks! I'll be careful!"

The thought didn't bug Roxas much earlier. He just knew he wanted to see Sora again. He was curious, very curious in Sora's existence. But now that he's talked it out with Zexion, he wasn't just curious, he was frustrated from not understanding. It wasn't just Sora he wanted to talk to, he wanted to talk to the boy's whole family. Did that household really hold a loving family? A human, a werecat, and a half and half son? Lions like meat right? How the hell can that lion live with a human without trying to eat it? How is that human not afraid of his lover when that said-lover can overpower him in basically everything?


Sora was beyond happy that the weekend was right after Halloween. He knew he couldn't go to school with a bite mark on his neck unless he hid with a turtleneck or wore a scarf, which is why he's in this mall to begin with. The boy was also extremely happy that he's friends with other creatures like Kairi. Of course, Kairi probably could've gone to school if it wasn't the weekend. Sora was envious how other creatures can heal faster than he can.

But without Kairi, he wouldn't dare step out of his house without his parents. Of course, this was also due to the fact he knew vampires wouldn't attack in proud daylight AND in a crowded place like the mall.

"Kairi, I have enough scarves now!" Sora whined as Kairi slipped blue scarf on him to see how it would look.

"Look I know you hate clothes shopping but I thought while we're here, we should get you some new clothes!"

"I don't wanna!" he whined again but it was no use. He still got dragged through the mall by his friend for at least an hour now.

Kairi made it up to him by buying him lunch when they took a break at the food court.

Sora chowed down on his now-second slice of pizza while Kairi ate her fried rice and chicken. It took a few moments for Sora to notice that Kairi started poking her food and wasn't giving Sora the attention since the boy was telling her a story about what candy he got and she was just staring at her food.

"Kairi? What's wrong?"

"N-Nothing, I just felt something."

"Oh…there are other creatures here too huh?" Sora questioned while Kairi only nodded and took a bite from her plate. Sora was about to take another bite from his cheese pizza if he didn't spot a certain-blonde-haired pale vampire standing over by that pretzel place located behind Kairi.

"Holy crap it's him!" Sora nearly shrieked for all to hear but managed to keep it heard between himself and Kairi. Well sort of…with heightened senses, Roxas turned his body upon hearing that familiar voice and caught Sora pointing at him.

"Well…I guess I have better luck than I thought," Roxas said out loud before he nudged Demyx next to him, who was buying pretzel for whatever reason Roxas didn't want to know since they can't eat…he did assume it had something to do with Zexion.

"I'll meet you back at the castle; I got some business to do."

"Okay! Thanks for the help!" Demyx waved him off and Roxas started his walk towards them.

"He's coming over here!" Kairi nearly exclaimed in surprise when she turned to see and Sora put his head down to stare at the food and away from Roxas's prying eyes.

"He's actually wearing the same clothes from yesterday! With the exception of the shirt I guess since I practically ripped apart his last one…but jeez! Are vampires that dirty?" Kairi criticized,

"Well they're technically a walking corpse so in a way, they're as dirty as it gets…" Sora pointed out,

"Funny how clean they look…oh, he was clothes shopping," Kairi commented since Roxas was holding a shopping bag from a clothing store.

Sora found himself looking up but regretted it. With every step Roxas made only made Sora's heart beat faster.

"Oh my Shinra, kill me now! Oh wait, I shouldn't say that…" Sora looked away again and took in a few deep breaths. Kairi reached a hand over Sora's to comfort him a bit but Sora couldn't stop thinking of the possibility of getting his blood sucked again! Or worse! He's going to get killed! His heart pounded against his chest as he heard steps approaching. The rest of the mall was blocked out of his mind. He can practically sense Roxas even though he knew it was really his fear for him talking. The steps stopped, and Sora can practically feel that cold skin touching against him again and those fangs in his neck. He unconsciously threw his hand to his neck and kept it there.

"I bring no harm…I just wish to speak with Sora," Roxas stated in a firm but non-threatening voice. Sora was taking in fast breaths at this point and swallowed when he heard that voice again this close to him. Out of the corner of his eye, he could see that same black jacket and he could feel Roxas staring him down but he refused to look up at him.

"…Please," Roxas added when all he got was a glare from a lynx and a silent-about-to-break-down-Sora. But not one to turn down manners, Sora found himself slowly looking up and he once again met eyes with the blonde but being at a closer distance, he almost felt entranced by those blue eyes that looked so deep. Sora quickly snapped himself out of it before he fell deeper into those depths, remembering that Roxas is a vampire which are known for the ability to seduce and entrance people.

Taking in a breath, he looked up at Roxas again, but prepared, and the two stared at each other for who knows how long…


So I realized I probably answered some questions but added more questions haha.

Please read and review!
