This was a toughy. I had to get a lot resolved (or at least started to be resolved). I know this chap isn't nearly as funny but I hope it's at least humorous. Next will be the final fall out and closing. I think there's gonna be an epiloge but I'm not too sure.
As always, PLEASE review. This mean's you. You know who I'm talking about, lurkers.
"What!? No, it can't be." Yuffie frowned.
"No, Riku. No." Sora suddenly stood and whirled on Sephiroth. Two Keyblades appeared in his hands and he began stalking the tall man. "You. Will. Die."
Sephiroth actually looked concerned. The Keyblade master's expression was dead serious and darkness swirled around him in twisting ribbons. He continued his slow march.
"Sora, wait!" Kairi tried to stop him but he shrugged her off.
"One of you do something!" She stomped a foot.
"Like what?" Yuffie retorted. "He's kicked every one of our butts including Sephiroth."
Zexion sighed. A dictionary appeared in his hands and he flipped a few pages. Demyx glanced over his shoulder. "Whatcha looking for?"
He shushed him with a raised hand. "Aerith, do you have a Phoenix Down?"
"Yes."
"Use it on Riku." He flicked some hair. Then in a voice that commanded attention, he barked out. "Sora!"
Demyx looked at him with dreamy eyes. "That voice is so sexy."
Zexion rolled his eyes up before returning them to Sora. The boy had frozen at his name. "Kiss Riku as Aerith administers the Phoenix Down to ensure that it is Riku who is reborn."
The brunette nodded, glaring again at Sephiroth. "You're still dead."
He turned and ran over to Riku's lifeless body, Keyblades disappearing. Aerith had darted over and knelt on the opposite side. "It will be a minute before I can use this."
"Just hurry."
"But-" Axel was flustered. He gave Zexion a pained look. "This defeats the whole-"
"Patience, Axel. In the end we'll all get what we're after."
"Oooh, we will?" Demyx draped his arms over the smaller Nobodies shoulders.
"Well, most of us will." He amended removing the offending objects from his person. "I suggest as this little event unfolds, Leon take this opportunity to repair Cloud."
All heads turned toward Leon, who was suddenly very uncomfortable. "What are you talking about?"
"Where do you think the idea for that story came from?"
"Wait!" Yuffie's jaw dropped. "Leon is in love with Cloud?"
"He at least wants to screw his brains out." Axel smirked.
Cloud stared at Leon. Suddenly his eyes were very clear. "Are they, are they right, Leon?"
Leon studied the floor for a very long time.
"Leo, look at me."
Eventually he did and when their eyes met, Cloud's shoulders straightened and he was totally alert. He shook his head a bit to finish clearing it. Then he glanced down. "Where'd the baby come from?"
Aerith drew her attention from the other side of the room with a smile. It was about time something happened with those two. "Okay, Riku, let's take care of you. Ready, Sora?"
"Let's do it." He bit his lip before slowly bending down and lightly pressing his lips to Riku's. They were so cold and unresponsive he wanted to draw back but he didn't. Zexion said this was what he needed to do. He wasn't sure why he believed the Nobody but he did.
Warmth flowed through him and he was suddenly thrown back as Riku sat up sputtering and gasping. A wild eyed look graced his face as he frantically cast those eyes around him in confusion. Finally, they settled upon Sora, who was crying again.
"Sora…"
"Oh, gods, Riku!" The brunette threw his arms around the silver haired boy returned from the dead. "I love you. Don't ever leave me again!"
"I won't." Riku promised.
Sora pulled back a little and began kissing Riku intensely. They fell back together in a pile of limbs. Aerith quickly moved away, not wanting any part of that action.
"Well, looks like you're getting that porn." Yuffie watched the two closely. "Damn. I didn't think Sora had it in him."
"He doesn't!" Axel protested. "See what he just did? That's something Roxas likes to do!"
No one noticed Kairi standing off to the side in absolute shock. Something dark crossed her face. "I'm… I'm not seeing this."
Axel turned toward her, an evil smirk taking his face. "Look at those two going at it without a single thought about you. It's like you don't even exist to them anymore. Weren't you the one Sora was supposed to be with forever?"
She numbly nodded.
"You should do something about this."
Meanwhile, Cloud was still studying the child in his arms, now looking a bit uneasy. "Uh, you know I'm really not so good with kids."
"You've been doing good so far." Aerith assured him.
"Yeah, well. Here." He quickly handed the boy off to her. Baby Shin squirmed and began fussing. It wasn't long until the wailing started.
"Shut that kid up right now, Centra or so help me I will kill you again." Sephiroth threatened. He had no idea what was going on around here nor how the hell he'd been drawn into the insanity so easily and he was pissed.
She handed the baby back to Cloud and it immediately quieted. "See? He likes you."
"Must be because you're quiet." Leon commented.
Cloud locked gazes with the slightly younger man. "Then he'll probably like you too."
"Maybe."
Yuffie awed them. "See? You're the perfect little family!"
Both men gave her withering looks. Cloud shook his head a little as Leon muttered, "Whatever."
"So where does the, infant come from?"" Sephiroth narrowed his eyes at Shin. "It's not mine because the eyes are wrong."
"Vexen made him." Zexion answered. "Xemnas was going to use it as a new body however you stopped that by dispersing his consciousness."
Leon frowned, lightly touching the tiny face. "That's… horrible."
"The child has no true consciousness. It only behaves as it's been conditioned to."
Again all attention was drawn to the other side as Kairi let out an almost inhumane shriek. "You get the hell away from my Sora!"
She managed to bodily tear Sora away from Riku. Then she began pummeling Riku's chest. "He's my boyfriend, you hear me! Mine! You can't take him from me!"
"Kairi, what are you talking about?" Sora yanked her away from Riku. "We were never going out."
"But- but, you promised we'd be together everyday." She teared up, lower lip trembling.
"Well, yeah, I did but I didn't mean it like that." Sora rubbed the back of his head.
"I hate you!" She screamed, slapping him. "I want you to die!"
Sora stared at her. Pain etched his face. "You don't mean that, Kairi. You're just upset-"
"Yes I do. Both you and Riku can go to hell!" She raced toward the door but Aerith and Yuffie intercepted her.
Axel sighed, summoning his chakrams. "Looks like I have to do this the hard way." Flames encircled him. "Nothing personal, Sora but you have to die."
"Axel, stop!" The voice that left Sora's mouth wasn't his. "This has gone on way to long."
"But, Roxy-"
"No." Sora shook his head downward in a mannor that wasn't his. "We'll be together again someday but not like this."
Suddenly he glared at the other two Nobodies in the room. "And the two of you should be ashamed of yourselves."
Both Zexion and Demyx studied their feet.
"Just, freakin' get together already and make screwing your new hobby or whatever." He paused. "Oh, and I want the video."
They glanced at each other before nodding agreement.
"Good." Sora walked up to Axel, who had turned his eyes away. He cupped the red head's chin. "Behave."
Axel half-grinned. It was terribly sad. "Yes, Master."
Getting on tip-toes, Sora, or Roxas or whoever he was at the moment, kissed Axel deeply. He pulled away and walked back to Riku, shaking his head a little as if to clear it. When he spoke again it was Sora's own voice. "He has got to stop doing that."
Yuffie looked between Axel and Sora. "I have no idea what the deal is but Axel so doesn't seem the uke."
Demyx held out a hand and Zexion slapped ten munny into it. The musican sing-songed. "I so called that one."
