Dark Secret

Chapter 7: Practice

Roxas looked inside his closet to find his black suitcase containing two keyblades Oblivion and Oathkeeper. He touched each keyblade tenderly before putting the keyblades back in suitcase. He and Cloud left the house got onto Fenir and drove to town square to practice struggling. Roxas looked out the window watching scenery go by him.

"Cloud, do try go easy on Leon you know how you get carried away." Roxas told him.

Cloud looked at Roxas and nodded his head.

"I promise I won't hurt him... badly." Cloud said causing Roxas to laugh at this.

They turned the corner to find themselves in the town square where there was teen strugglers everywhere practicing. Cloud and Roxas parked the motorcycle and got off when Sora rushed over to them excitedly.

"Roxas! Cloud!" Sora screamed as he greeted them animatedly.

"Hey Sora." The blonde brothers said in unison.

"Come on, over here." Sora said, pulling them to the far end of square where everyone else was waiting for them.

"Sora where did you..." Leon started but stopped once he saw Roxas and Leon behind his little brother.

"You made it." Hayner aid as he approached Roxas.

"Yeah I said I would be here." Roxas said as he walked away with Hayner to go train leaving Cloud and Leon alone with Sora.

"I'm going to hang out with Riku, I will see you later." Sora said as he ran towards Riku who was sitting next to Kairi drinking smoothies.

"So you play struggle a lot?" Cloud asked Leon trying to start a conversation.

"Not really I have yet to play since I was a teenager." Leon admitted to Cloud.

"I never actually played struggle before." Cloud said.

Leon looked at Cloud surprised.

"Do you even know the rules?" Leon squeaked out staring at Cloud.

"Yeah I know the rules I wouldn't go into this thing blindly." Cloud said, giving Leon a smile causing Leon cheeks to turn red.

They continued on idle chitchat until Sora came running towards them.

"The square is about to close so your fight has to begin now or never." Sora said to them.

They exchanged looks before looking back at Sora and nodded their heads as they walked towards a closet arena where they each grab a struggle bat. Without wasting no time at all they took a fighting position facing each other in a fight stance. Everyone surrounded them as Cloud lunged forward taking the first swing which Leon easily block. They jumped apart from each other, glancing at each other before they both ran towards swinging at each. They began to hit each other back and forth.

Cloud dodges one of Leon's blows by ducking and tried to kick Leon's fight but he jumped un the air and tried to hit Cloud with his struggle bat. Cloud quickly trolled over an evasive manuever and steady his bat trying to hut Leon.

"Time!" Hayner yelled and they both stood and looked at Hayner to see who had won.

"It's a tie." Hayner told them.

Cloud and Leon looked at each satisfied. They all got back together and went home for day.


Vincent sighed as he looked at his sleeping people in his red corevet. 'He knew Cloud's house had enough and pale for them but the people would start to get suspicious.' He thought as he drove back into Twilight Town.
