my eyes snapped open and were met by the clear blue sky of my homeland, destiny island, i sat up sharply, taking in my surroundings, the sea was slow and gently against the beach, the breeze was soft against my skin, the colours were bold though, bolder than ive ever seen them, even with my fallen side out, i looked to my left to see saix, still asleep, he was wearing black jeans and a long black hooded coat, with a little silver chain hanging from the neck, i turned to my right to see my dad in the exact same outfit, only he still had his neck and wrist shackles on, i looked myself over, and i too was in the long black coat, with my shackles on
"why am i in this?" i wondered to myself, i shrugged and decided to wake them 2 up, i shook saix first he gave a small groan so i decided to shake my dad, his eyes opened slowly, the moment his eyes opened his face seemed to change and become more fierce, his blue eyes, were still that but now the red glow was so much more noticable, like sephiroths really, it was a odd contrast in colours, he yawned and i noticed that in his mouth were small fangs, i turned to saix, his eyes were the same, but he didnt have fangs, i ran my tounge over my teeth and my usually small fangs felt longer slightly, so my eyes would be the same
"are we home?" i heard my dad say, i turned to him and he was sat up like me
"yeah we are" i smiled, my dad nodded
"hmm what a wierd outfit?" saix muttered
"yeah and have you seen our eyes?" i asked, saix shook his head, i looked him straight in the eyes, and he nodded
"more red than usual" saix concluded
"hmmm i wonder what exactly happened then?" my dad wondered
"i could answer that for you" i smooth, dark voice chuckled, us 3 stood up and turned to see sephiroth stood a few feet from us, his long silver hair blew in the wind slightly, his blue eyes held the same red glow as ours now, he wore a that long black jacket with the silver arm pads on, the belts over his muscled chest and black jeans with black boots, his silver sword was attached to his waist, he still looked quiet hot
"hello sephiroth" i greeted calmly, sephiroth smiled, showing some fangs
"its nice to see you all awake, ive been stood here for about 5 minutes" sephiroth chuckled
"sorry for keeping you waiting then" saix said calmly
"no problem, im here to answer your questions and explain a few things" sephiroth smiled
"were listening" my dad said calmly, sephiroth nodded
"well i noticed you all noticed the change in you eye colour correct?" sephiroth asked, we all nodded "well as you know fallen are from hell, and because you three have been there, the fallen inside you have powered up to there maximum, so the red in your eyes is now more dominent like mine and they will stay like that til the day you die" sephiroth explained with a smiled, my dad and saix were nodding
"ok i understand that" i smiled, sephiroth smiled back
"very good, now ill also tell you that i will not kill you early, youll die of your own accord" sephiroth smiled, we all nodded
"thats good" saix smiled
"hmm" my dad muttered
"is somthing bothering you alex?" sephiroth asked curiously
"just thinking is all" my dad muttered, sephiroth nodded
"also you should probably know that the arch namine can destroy you, but as youve been to hell your all a great deal stronger, alex and sora espically" sephiroth smiled
"why us more?" i asked
"because you both also have demonics, and the top ones at that, they too powered up down in hell, so your power has increased further, alexs magic is now at 30, whereas you sora are now at 36, saix is at 31" sephiroth explained, wow i have really strong magic now
"hmm i understand" my dad smiled, sephiroth nodded
"any other question?" sephiroth asked
"can we tell anyone were alive?" i asked, sephiroths smiled turned soft
"yes you can, as we speak your body so has vanished and your family is going nuts over it" sephiroth explained softly, i nodded
"ok thankyou" i smiled, sephiroth nodded
"so ill be off, oh and if you need me all you should do i use this" sephiroth smiled before infront of me, saix and my dad, appeared a necklace, it looked to be silver, the same silver of sephiroths sword, hanging from it were both those wierd symbols (heartless & nobody), we all held out our hands and the chains fell into them, they were light like my shackles "the chain is made of the same material as your shackles and my sword, so they wont break" sephiroth smiled before vanishing into a ball of darkness, i undid the clasp of my chain and placed it around my neck, saix and my dad were doin the same
"that was intresting" saix chuckled
"tell me about it" my dad laughed, i smiled
"oh and one more thing sora" a voice said from somewhere, i knew it was sephiroth, but he didnt appear
"and that is?" i asked
"tell clous i said hi" sephiroth said happily, when he said clouds name though i could swear i could hear his voice thicken with lust, my jaw dropped
"what!" i asked, but i got no answer, i scratched the back of my head "how does sephiroth know cloud?" i wondered
"want to go ask?" saix asked, i felt my stomach tighten
"i dont know if i can face them" i whispered as my head lowered
"course you can sora" my dad said calmly
"i dont know dad" i muttered, my stomach tightened more, i turned my fallen of and sat down in the sand, drawing my knees up to my chest and wrapping my arms around them
"whats bothering you?" saix asked softly, he and my dad crouched beside me
"i dont know what they will think of me, i mean if riku was disgusted at me, what will my actual family think?" i asked, my eyes staying locked with the waves infront of me, i heard them both sigh
"im sure they would forget that if you stood infront of them" saix suggested, its true, im sure they would, but once that blows over, then the questions begin
"i suppose" i muttered, i flattened my legs infront of me, and placed my arms straight behind me and put my weight on them, i felt like flying
"so what we gonna do?" my dad asked, i smiled and stood up
"i dont know about you 2 but im havein a fly" i smiled, i turned my fallen on without even trying and my wings appeared behind me, i flapped them and took of, i flew straight over saix and my dad, who had there wings out, i stayed above them and waited for them
"race ya sora" saix challenged, as he flew infront of me
"where to?" i asked confidently, crosseing my arms, my wings keeping me in the air
"how about to the small island over there?" saix pointed, i followed his hand and saw that in the distance was a small island, covered in trees and rockery
"ok to the island and back" i smirked, saix was beside me
"3 2 1 go!" my dad yelled, the moment the word 'go' was said, i set of, flapping my wings at maximum speed and strength, saix was right behind me and the island was in view, i pushed more power into my wings, and sure enough i gained more speed, i reached the island before saix, i touched one of the trees and grabbed the star shaped fruit of the tree, i placed my feet on the tree, and pushed with all my force, giving me a speed and power boost, i blew past saix, who was laughing, i flew back to my dad, and stopped at his side
"I WIN UH HUH UH HUH UH HUH!" i chanted, til saix was beside me
"so you did, but once your wings are as old as mine then we shall see" saix chuckled
"im not going to get ancient just yet saix" i chuckled, saix eyebrows shot up
"you can tell your alexs" saix laughed, me and my dad did too, we flew to the beach again, i still had my paopu fruit in my hands, i bit into it, it was extremely sweet but not enough to make me feel sick, i finsihed my snack in a matter of minutes
"so what now?" i asked, saix and my dad shrugged, i did want to see my family, but i was scared, i felt somthing change within me and suddenly i had the confidence to do it, i stood up "lets go" i said calmly, saix and my dad chuckled and nodded, before standing beside me, i pulled a hair tie out my pocket and tied my hair up tightly
"why the change of heart?" saix asked, i shrugged
"suddenly feel confident to do it" i smiled, my dad and saix laughed "what?" i asked
"it seems you now have everything the fallen had to give" my dad smiled
"what do you mean?" i asked
"the fallen gives you fierce indpendance and total confidence, and as you already know it maxes your other senses" saix explained, i smiled
"cool" i chuckled
"so how we gonna do this?" saix asked
"well we need everyone as i dont wanna tell the stroy too many times, so i say we go to the house, hoods up saying we know somthing about me, get them to meet in the woods by the large tree then reveal" i suggested, saix and my dad shared a quick look before nodding
"lets get this done then" saix smiled before pulling his hood up, it shadowed his whole face, showing nothing, my dad did the same, and then i pulled my hood up over my head, and my face was plunged into darkness, but i still could see
"lets go" i smiled, and we teleported outside my house, i gulped and banged on the door 3 times, i stepped back and let my dad talk, i heard the door unlocked before being opened, i locked my mouth shut to black my gasp, riku had answered the door, his silver hair was tied in a messy ponytail, he had small bags under his eyes and looked like a mess
"who are you?" riku asked as he leaned against the door frame
"in time" saix said calmly
"ok so what exactly do you want?" riku asked, sounding annoyed
"with have some infomation sora you may like to know" my dad said calmly, the moment my name was said, i noticed how rikus body locked, his ears flattened to his head and his eyes saddened
"what is this infomation?" riku asked quietly
"meet us by soras tree in the woods, all the family and we explaine to you all" i said calmly, making my voice a little deeper to make sure he didnt know it was me, rikus eyes saddened further
"ok fine" riku sighed before shutting the door, we all teleported to the tree, i collapsed against it
"was that riku?" my dad asked
"yes" i said calmly, my dad nodded, we still kept our hoods up
"he seems a mess" saix muttered
"i bet most of them are" i sighed as i stood again, leaning against the tree, i heard movement coming our way "here they come" i sighed, i stood in the middle, saix to my left, my dad to my right, the first through the woods was kairi, she looked a mess, her hair wasnt brushed and she had no makeup on, the next was riku, then axel and roxas, axels hair had lost its spiky-ness, roxas looked terrible, he had huge bags under his eyes and looked pale as a ghost, cloud and leon were next, they looked no better than roxas, and finally was my mom, her ears were limp agaisnt her head, he tail was wrapped around her stomach, she looked the worse, it made me want to cry to see all my loved ones like this, i took a deep shaky breath
"thankyou for your time, we understand its not easy" saix said calmly, everyone nodded
"so what is this infomation?" i heard leon ask, he was holding cloud round the waist, almost like if he didnt cloud would fall, it was the same with axel and roxas
"well im sure youll be happy to here it" saix said happily
"we hope so, as this best not be some sick joke" axel growled, his eyes furious
"i assure you this is no joke, its not even close to that" my dad explained, axels eyes remained furious, everyone else was sad and curious
"we then tell us please" my mother said calmly, her voice shaky, i felt more and more ill the more i stood here, i gulped, i felt like i was going to be sick
"well first of all i assume everyone knows what happened over the last few day?" saix asked
"yes riku and namine informed us" riku muttered
"and do you mind about what sora did?" saix asked
"of course not" cloud hissed, everyone held the same looked of fury in there eyes, even riku who i thought hated it, i saw saix nod
"well im sure that will pease sora to hear that" saix said happily, my confidence had returned knowing they didnt mind, i nodded, and so did my dad
"what do you mean will?" roxas asked
"well so is here with us now" saix said happily, everyone eyes widened
"dont joke around" kairi spat, i stepped forward
"he not" i said calmly, i liefted my hand to my hood and pulled it over my head "im am here" i smiled "and for that matter so are 2 others" i smiled, i turned to saix, who walked to my side, taking his own hood down, revealinghimself to everyone, i turned to my dad and he walked to my side, taking his own hood down "see no joke" i smiled, everyone was just in a state of shock, then the next thing i know is kairi, my mom and cloud have fainted, my dad had rushed over to my mom, saix behind him, leaving me to answer the question on my own
"how?" roxas asked, i turned to roxas and smiled softly
"lets just say i bargined our way out of hell" i smiled, axel was still blank faced, leon was trying to wake cloud up, and riku looked like he was about to pounce me
"wait hell?" leon asked
"yeah hell as in lava, torture, the devil, all that" i smiled, leon blinked a few times before turning his attention back to cloud, axel and roxas looked at eachother, and riku was gently shaking his head
"so what exactly was the bargin?" axel asked
"well basically when me, saix and my dad die we have to work for him" i explained calmly, leons head whipped around to me, roxas, axel and rikus eyes widened
"you have to work for the devil?" leon asked, shock and horror in his voice
"yep, me and my dad are incharge of the demonics and saix is incharge of the human hybrid torturers" i explained, leon blinked and became pale faced, and tunred back to cloud, axel and roxas were just black faced and riku was horrified, my eyes caught kairi sit up, her eyes wide, she stood up and ran at me, crushing me into a hug, i hugged her back
"we thought we lost you sora" she whispered
"you were the one who yelled my name werent you?" i asked, kairi pulled out the hug
"i was, i saw the whole fight, but i was too scared to do anything" kairi whispered, bowing her head in shame, i tilted it back up
"kairi no worries, in all fairness what could you do?" i asked, she smiled slightly
"i guess" she sighed, i patted her shoulder
"dont worry bout it kairi, its in the past now, so its all sorted" i smiled happily, she nodded and went to my dad and saix, who were still trying to wake my mom up, leon was working on cloud, who refused to wake, i slowly walked over to axel and roxas, once i was close enough roxas lept at me and hugged me tightly
"why didnt you tell us?" roxas asked, his voice breaking, i sighed and hugged him tighter
"i didnt want you to get hurt" i sighed, i pulled out the hug and roxas nearly fell to the floor, but i caught him "what the hell roxas?" i asked
"he hasnt been eating since you died" axel explained, helping roxas stand back up
"and how long ago was that?" i asked, dreading the answer
"about a week" axel sighed, i turned to roxas
"im getting some food in you" i growled, roxas chuckled, and nodded, i turned back to axel
"thanks for caring for him" i smiled, axel nodded
"no worries but next time you decided to die give me a warning" axel growled, i chuckled and hugged him, i felt him tighten for a moment before relaxing and hugging me back
"ill try" i smiled and i pulled out "now get some food in him please" i asked, axel nodded and with that him and roxas teleported home, i sighed and looked at leon and cloud, i bent down
"hows he been?" i asked
"no better than roxas" leon sighed "im glad your home" leon smiled
"i am too" i smiled, i placed my finger on his temples and woke him up, clouds eyes snapped open and locked with mine, i yelped when he crushed me to his chest
"you god damn baka" cloud sighed, hugging me tighter, it did hurt but i think it fair that cloud can hug me as hard as he wants
"i could say the same to you not eating" i growled, clouds grip relaxed and i sat up beside him, he sat up too
"i know but i just didnt feel like it" cloud sighed, i nodded
"cloud do you know someone called sephiroth?" i asked, cloud and leons eyes widened, oh dear this sint going to be good
