A/N: This chapters is definitely tinged by Dissidia. Whenever I write Sephiroth, I actually hear him speaking with his Japanese voice. I love his American voice, but the Japanese has a whole different quality to it. Intelligent. Aristocratic. A true Demi-God. It also helps you can play him with just his leather pants on. Yummy-yum. Kweh? All this time, I've been writing Sephiroth's eyes as blue. *looks through shiny postcard book* Sigh. They're green. Aren't they. My bad. Hey! This means the cubs will have eyes like Laguna! Score! Vincent Valentine and Zack Fair come from Final Fantasy 7. In my stories, Vincent is Sephiroth's father and Riku's grandfather forever.

Addendum A/N: Sex scene's in the next chapter. Promise. In fact, it's the whole chapter. I'm pacing myself with this mini-series. I think it's for the better.

Magna Storm - Part II

XXX

Same night in Radiant Garden…

Leon jogged past the Bailey, down the Great Maw, on his way to The Dark Depths. The path lit by magical fire torches set up by Merlin, for night-time patrols.

Spying his intended quarry, the Lion halted with a gasp of awe.

Bathed in the ever constant glow of surrounding torches, Sephiroth performed katas with an unconscious grace, born of years of practice. For once, he had removed the trademark leather coat, shoulder, and stomach guards, leaving the tightly muscled chest bare, allowing his wings to spread out to their full ebony-tinged glory.

Leon's rapt attention would be brought back, to the task at hand, by the brittle tone radiating throughout Sephiroth's smooth voice.

"Cursed monster, indeed. I believe Hojo plagued me, with enhanced hearing, for the sole reason of hearing my father copulate with the coarse yokel."

Lion's glare in full effect, Leon stepped forward, quick to defend his adoptive father. "From what I understand, your father loves Cid deeply. Could you please stop making fun of him? He's done everything he can to welcome both you, and Riku, into our family. While Riku's been grateful, you've been nothing, but condescending and downright mean."

Masamune dissipating, Sephiroth stood up straight, hands on slim hips, with head tilted in thought. "How delightful to hear the Lion defending his Pride. Overhearing your conversation, with the Captain, I feared I would be met by the Mayor of Radiant Garden. Although, if you do wish to talk me into staying, I believe you should be more agreeable with your delivery."

Leon frowned. Eyebrows furrowed, with consternation. "Cloud told me SOLDIERS believed in truth and honor above all things. I don't find any honor in spying on a person's private conversations."

With a light chuckle, Sephiroth crossed his arms across his chest. "Strife has always had an idealized view of what being a SOLDIER actually entails. It did not help his first, and only mate, happened to be my best friend, Zackary Fair. While Zackary epitomized the best in humanity, his ideals did not help him to be a SOLDIER at all."

"As for my conduct, well, my father was once a Turk, of the highest standing. I am merely following my true nature. By the by, could you tell me where my son is?"

Lowering Lionheart, from his shoulder, a confused Leon took a step forward. "You know full well where Riku is. He followed Sora to Destiny Islands. Even if he wasn't there, you can speak to him through the Darkness."

Taking his own step towards an unsuspecting Leon, Sephiroth's smirk became more pronounced. "Ah, yes. Destiny Islands. Far away, from me, and my father, who needs his support more than ever. Can you explain to my why my only son had to travel so far to retrieve his wandering mate… again."

Deep in thought, Leon's grip on Lionheart loosened. His vision veering away from Sephiroth's unblinking eyes, down to the ground. "Mate? Sora told me he and Riku decided to stay best friends. Nothing more. My little brother felt confused with Riku's confession. He said Riku wouldn't let him breathe and think things through. Sora said he wished to go back to Destiny Islands to visit Kairi. I agreed, thinking it was best, for now."

Leon's blue-grey gaze directed itself back, to view Sephiroth's face. "They're barely out of their teens. Riku shouldn't have pushed Sora so hard. He's still dealing with the mental integration with Roxas. All my brother wants is rest. Once you informed Riku, of the Mako's ability to change a male, so he could bear children, Riku hounded Sora day-and-night. Can you blame me for sending my little brother to where he could feel safe?"

Leon halted the condemnation, with a yelp. When he faced a snarling Sephiroth, wings fully unfurled, due to his fury.

With a disdainful flick of the wrist, Sephiroth smacked Lionheart out of Leon's grasp, embedding the sword, deep, into the canyon side. The other hand closed tight around Leon's neck, close to crushing it, with the enhanced grip.

Ignoring Leon's fruitless clawing, and tugging, Sephiroth brought the Lion's wide-eyed face close, so there would be no misunderstanding between them. "You interfered in my son's happiness and emotional well-being. Because of your misguided and prudish advice, my boy has lived a week of almost constant pain, due to being removed from his natural mate. Even though my father suffers greatly, he begged me not to punish you."

Releasing Leon's throat, Sephiroth glared down at Leon, who had fallen to his knees, clutching his neck.

Nostrils flaring, Sephiroth inhaled the surrounding air. Senses catching something unexpected, he swiftly bent down to one knee. Large hand coming around to grasp Leon's surprising erection, straining through leather pants.

Attempting to gain his breath back, an embarrassed Leon grabbed hold of Sephiroth's wrist, with both hands. "What the-! Let go!"

Sephiroth's grip loosened. However, instead of releasing the member, he used the palm of his hand to lightly knead and encourage the blood flow.

Sephiroth's feline eyes, no longer glinted with anger, but amusement and rising lust. "I see the Lion takes after his little brother more than believed. Pain, with a sense of danger, makes the blood run hot. Tell me, Little One. Do you still wish to 'negotiate' with me? Do you still want me to stay here in Radiant Garden? Do not lie to me of civic duties and security responsibilities. The falsehoods of a statesman, spilling from such a pretty mouth, angers me in a way you would not find to your liking."

Realizing he would not be released, without a true answer, Leon let go of Sephiroth's wrist, and covered his red face with both hands. "Yes. I don't know what you think you'll find by traveling to the other Worlds. From what Vincent, and Cloud, told me, you've already traveled through all the Worlds, Light and Dark. If you didn't find what you were looking for before; what makes you think you'll find it now? At least, please tell me what you're searching for. Perhaps I could help you find it."

Removing his hand, from Leon's crotch, a lightly smiling Sephiroth carefully moved Leon's hands away from the blushing face. Once he viewed Leon's tear-filled gaze, his smile became even wider. "I think you already have, Pretty Lion. Ever since my reunion with my son and father, Riku has been pestering me to have a family of my own. For some odd reason, he wishes to be plagued by a multitude of siblings."

Freeing Leon's shaking hands, Sephiroth rested a forearm on his upraised knee. "After much thought, and conversations with my father, I have decided to travel, hoping to find a strong mate to bear my children. Having talked with my father before, about leaving, I had no idea he would react so. His mind can be so choosy with its memories sometimes."

Since Sephiroth released his arms, Leon had scrunched himself into a tight ball, resting his chin on top of bent knees. Blue-grey eyes peered over to meet Sephiroth's glowing Mako green. "Strong mate? What does strength have to do with it?"

Reaching over, Sephiroth gently moved a lock of Leon's bangs to the side. With delight, he noticed, when Leon unconsciously leaned into the touch. "The Mako, in my bodily fluids, is a highly concentrated mixture. Only Strife and Riku come close to my natural Mako levels. I need to find a mate strong enough to withstand the potential poisoning. From what I ascertained, reading the Destiny Islands' hospital files, Riku's birth mother barely survived giving birth to Riku. She knew the Mako was poisoning her to death, but she refused to kill my son, even though he had been forced on her by Hojo. A woman, whom I will never know, but shall be eternally grateful to."

With a swift twist of the body, Sephiroth sat himself right next to Leon. Noting the Lion's subtle shivering, he pretended the cold night air to be the cause.

Wrapping long arms around a surprised Leon's upper body, Sephiroth held him close. His enhancements ensuring he would never feel the cold, although he sat nude to the waist. "Having also read the medical reports, Riku feared for Sora's future well-being. However, Merlin reassured my son, before he left, Sora would be fine if he bore Riku's children. Since Sora is the Keyblader, the Light inside of him is powerful enough to negate any side-effects the Mako would produce."

Hoping he didn't seem too forward, but yearning for Sephiroth's heady warmth, Leon took a chance, resting his head against Sephiroth's waiting shoulder. "Mako poisoning. Never thought about that. I can see why you feel you would have to travel, to find a suitable mate. Someone who's Light shines almost as strong as Sora's. Except for Aerith, I don't know of anyone else. Except for King Mickey, and from what he's told me, he doesn't swing that way."

Leon received the response he had been hoping for, when he heard Sephiroth's deep chuckle. "While I have always been inclined towards males, King Mickey would be pushing things a tad too far."

Turning his head, Sephiroth buried his nose in Leon's long locks, inhaling the rich scent. "You well know there is someone else right here, in Radiant Garden, who's inner Light shines almost as bright as Sora's, and I do not speak of the rocket scientist married to my father. Tell me, Pretty Lion. Why do you constantly try to shield your Light away? If released, the aura from your soul would be blinding."

Blush returning quickly to his cheeks, Leon hid his face against Sephiroth's neck. "Sis, I mean Aerith, taught me how to shield myself, when I first landed in Traverse Town. I always wondered why people were drawn to me, even when I tried to hide. It's horrible, when you're a mercenary, attempting to do an undercover mission." "

"Aerith said my Light was the reason why. Unless I'm giving orders, I hate being the center of attention. When I shield, I seem to be able to blend in better. Never seemed to work with you, though. You always find me, wherever I am, like Riku with Sora."

Drawing the Lion out of hiding, Sephiroth cupped Leon's face with both hands. Blazing Mako green searched hesitant eyes of stormy blue-grey. "If you wish me to stay in Radiant Garden, you know what your answer must be. However, I must warn you. I am not a gentle lover, nor an understanding one. The furious Beast you have seen, embodied in Strife, is nothing compared to mine. To be able to carry my child, the shields must come down. Desiring eyes shall follow you, wherever you go. I acknowledge this, but my Beast will not. During these times, you shall have to temper my Darkness-induced jealousy and rage, with your Light."

Frightened gaze lowering, Leon ran shaking hands up-and-down Sephiroth's rock-like forearms. Even now, he could feel Sephiroth barely keeping his Darkness in check. "Stay with me, Sephiroth. Be my husband and father of my children. The eyes of others do not matter, as long as yours do not wander from mine. My Light shall temper your Darkness. I promise you."

Slowly standing up, Sephiroth bent down, picking Leon up, like a child.

With a small sigh of relief, feeling the constant weight of responsibility finally falling away, Leon wrapped his arms around Sephiroth's neck, and rested a weary head against his solid chest. "All these years, I've been waiting for someone to watch my back. Thank you, Husband."

Placing a light kiss to the top of his new Mate's forehead, Sephiroth sent a heartfelt "Good Night" to his excited grown-up son, all the way in Destiny Islands, through the Darkness.

Reaffirming the firm hold around Leon's slumbering body, Sephiroth wrapped his vast wings around them both. "So be it."

The pair disappeared from the Dark Depths, leaving an eddy of black feathers behind.
