DISCLAIMER: Ok, you know what?  I'm so pissed off and tired, so this is going to be short: I don't own KH; I don't own any Avril Lavigne songs, such as "Naked", the one I use in this chapter.

Videl: Warrior Princess: Hey everyone…I decided that for my friend's sake, since she wants to put this fic on her website, that I would go ahead and finish this…  I'm still really upset about Chris' death, and now, to add to my grief, my sister's old classmate Sean, who I was also friends with, died too on Wednesday.  I didn't find out 'til Sunday though, because my mom saw how upset Chris' death made me and didn't want me to kill myself or something like that.  So now, I'm twice as upset, because he was just a little kid, and he didn't deserve to die such a painful death (he died from a very bad seizure), and I couldn't go to either of their funerals.  ::sighs::  Sorry about all of this.  I'm going to write though…something as a dedication to both of them…  On to happier things, I want you guys to meet my friend from the UK, Joby!  ::claps as Joby walks in::

Majin Android 121: ::walks in, smiling and waving::  Thank you!  Thank you! 

Audience:…

Majin Android 121: ::sighs:: Ok, let's all laugh at the Brit.

Videl: Warrior Princess: Aww, poor Joby!  ::puts her hand on Joby's shoulder::  I'm still your friend mate!

Majin Android 121: ::smiles again:: True enough.  So uh, where's Gohan?

Videl: Warrior Princess: Gohan couldn't make it to this chapter, he's most likely asleep from all the studying he did for his exams.

The Author: Hey!  Don't forget about me!  ::runs in carrying a Coke and some candy::

Videl: Warrior Princess: Lol, as if I could!  Anyway, this is the conclusion.

The Author: O.O  WHAT???  NO!!!!!!!!

Majin Android 121: What's wrong with him?

Videl: Warrior Princess: He's just mad, because this is the last chapter to this fic.  Why?  I don't know.  He was the one saying that I was obsessed with this couple, and that I should be working on other things besides this.

The Author: ::stops screaming and looks to V:WP::  Oh, that reminds me, did you finish your English paper?

Videl: Warrior Princess: Yes actually, I finished it Wednesday night.  I gave it to my mom to print out on Thursday, but…

The Author and Majin Android 121: But?…

Videl: Warrior Princess: I forgot to turn it in to her on Friday…

The Author and Majin Android 121: ::anime fault::

Videl: Warrior Princess: ::shrugs::  I found out that day that it was optional, so it doesn't count against me.  Now, anyway, back to the fic.  Despite the title of the song, this chapter isn't a lemon, there's no hentai in it.

Majin Android 121: ::snaps fingers:: Damnit…

Videl: Warrior Princess: Yuck!  You horny baka!  ::hits Joby on the head with notebook that holds her fic::

Majin Android 121: Ow… Can I help it?  I am a guy after all…

Videl: Warrior Princess: Aaron's a guy, and he's not horny!

The Author: ::grins and waves::

Videl: Warrior Princess: Now, on with the fic!  Enjoy and review please!

Majin Android 121: ::rubs head:: And please give me some aspirin…

I'm With You

Chapter Three: "Naked"

Leon opened the door and gasped in shock almost when he saw Yuffie laying on the bed crying; the sight almost broke his heart.  He didn't care what the rest of the world thought, he was tired of playing Mr. Tough, and he was tired of having to hide his feelings to Yuffie.  "Yuffie?" he asked.

~I wake up in the morning

Put on my face

The one that's going to get me

Through another day

Doesn't really matter

What I feel inside

Cause life is like a game sometimes~

Yuffie turned around and stared at him shock and fearful.  He was still as captivating as he was the first day she met him.  She ignored the drying tears on her cheeks and whispered his name softly.  He nodded and walked to her side and sat down on the bed next to her as she sat up.  "Leon?" she repeated.

"Yuffie…are you alright?" he gently asked, touching her hand.  This shocked her a little; this was so out of character for him, but at the moment, she didn't pay it any mind.  Had it been anyone else, she would've lied and said yes, but she just couldn't lie to him.  She shook her head, and he opened his arms to let her hug him.  Here, they didn't need to keep their guards up; they could be free.

~Then you came around me

The walls just disappear

Nothing to surround me

Keep me from my fears

I'm unprotected

See how I've opened up

You've made me trust~

He held her for a couple of minutes, neither of them saying a word.  Yuffie clutched at his white shirt, her head rested against his chest with her eyes shut tight to keep away the tears that were threatening to form in them.  "It's ok…" he murmured softly.  "It's ok Yuffie…"  She weakly hit his chest once, angry, sad, and tired all at the same time.

"Damnit…I still love you Leon…" she whispered.  He continued to hold her and nodded.

"I know…I know Yuffie…I love you too…" he muttered in his deep voice so low that barely anyone could hear.

~Cause I've never felt like this before

I'm naked around you

Does it show?

You see right through me

And I can't hide

I'm naked around you

And it feels so right~

"Wh… What?" she gasped.  She pulled away and looked at him.  No way… There was no way she heard what she thought she heard…right?  Leon, the stoic warrior against the Heartless, just said that he loved her??!  This had to be a dream…this just had to be… 

He gulped, although she couldn't see it.  Now, come on, he'd said it once, he could say it again.  Hell, it wasn't that hard now.  Why was he so afraid?  He knew the answer to that; she was so different from anyone else he had ever met, and she had become so special to him that he never wanted to lose her.  "I love you, Yuffie…" 

~I'm tryin' to remember

Why I was afraid

To be myself

And let the covers fall away

Guess I never had someone like you

To help me, to help me fit in my skin~

"Oh Leon!" Yuffie cried, and threw her arms around him.  He blinked in shock and slowly returned the embrace. 

"You're not mad at me?" he asked.

"Mad?  Why did you think I would be mad at you?"

"Yuffie… I've treated you so rotten…how could you still love someone like that?"

"Well, it's true that you've not been the nicest guy to me, but…"  Leon moved a couple of her dark bangs out of her chocolate-colored eyes and looked into them.  "I've just never met someone like you, someone so focused, so strong, so…  I don't know.  You were just so different, and you made me feel something I thought would never me possible for me to feel… I just love you."

~I've never felt like this before

I'm naked around you

Does it show?

You see right through me

And I can't hide

I'm naked around you

And it feels so right~

He held her close and stroked her hair.  "Yuffie…I'm so sorry for the way I treated you…  Can you ever forgive me?" he whispered.  She nodded.

"Yes, yes I forgive you Squall, oops!  I mean-" she began, but he cut her off with a chuckle.

"It's ok… I don't mind you calling me Squall.  But only when it's us."  She nodded again and had to almost bite her tongue to keep from laughing.

"Ok…Squall."  He smirked.

"At least you stopped crying now."  She looked up at him.

"Don't you ever tell anyone about that!  I mean it!"  He smirked and nodded.

"Alright.  I won't." 

~I'm naked

Does it show?~

She snuggled back up in his arms, and he leaned back against the bed, resting his head on the headrest.  "Leon?" she finally asked after awhile.

"Hm?"

"Does this mean we've hooked up?"  He opened his eyes and looked down at her with his left eyebrow cocked.

"What?"  She looked up at him, and they gazed into each other's eyes, getting lost in them.  "Yeah, if that's what you want."  She bit her lip.

"Well, I don't want it unless you do."  She was bearing her soul to him, as he did her, but could they get over their fears?  What did they have to lose?  They both loved each other, and they both knew each other and were free around each other.

~I'm naked around

Does it show?

I'm so naked around you

And I can't hide

You're gonna

You're gonna see right through~

"I want to make you happy Yuffie… And I want to keep you safe," he answered, and she smiled and hugged him again.

"That's a yes then!" she chimed, and he smiled faintly at her and went back to stroking her soft hair. 

"Yuffie?"

"Hm?"  He gently lifted her face up as he was bending his down.  "What is it Squall?" 

And he didn't need words for his answer.  You usually hear how kisses seem like the person is trying to eat the other person's face or how they try to shove their tongue down their throat or that it's too forceful/passionate to be enjoyed.  This wasn't one of those.  It was sweet, simple, and gentle.  His soft lips barely caressed hers to let her easily escaped if that wasn't what she wanted, but it was, and she returned the favor, timidly at first, but then with a little more pressure.  She wrapped her arms around his neck in order to lift herself up closer to his lips, and he held her to keep her from falling backwards.  Slowly, they left the other's lips and stared lovingly into each other's eyes, gazing unto their souls.

"I'll never leave you.  Thank you for accepting me."  She smiled back at him, and she didn't know whether to scream for joy or cry.  She only hugged him again as he rested his head on the headrest again.

"Thank you for seeing me," she whispered.

~You're gonna see right through

I'm so naked around you~

Aerith came into the room a little later to go check up on Yuffie since the young ninja seemed upset earlier.  She opened the door to the Green Room that was connected to her room, and she let out a slight gasp at what she saw.

Leon and Yuffie were cuddled up together, sleeping on the bed.  On both on their faces, there were smiles as though they were both now in a peaceful dream that they would live forever.

She smiled at her two slumbering friends, and just as silently as she came in, she stepped back and closed the door quietly, so not to wake them.  "Sweet dreams you love birds," she murmured inaudibly before the door was fully shut.

~And I can't hide

You're gonna see right through baby~

The End

SPECIAL AUTHOR'S NOTE:  Ok, ok, yes, it's the end.  Hope you all enjoyed it while it last.  And now, I just like to take this time to thank two reviewers: Snowri Leonhart and Silver Hope.

Snowri Leonhart-  Well, here was the Leon/Yuffie fic I promised.  It ended up being longer than I originally had planned for it.  But the more, the better sometimes, huh?  I'm really glad you enjoyed it, and thanks for being a great author and friend!

Silver Hope- Thank you for your kind words.  I'm still mourning their deaths, but I'm moving on the best I can.  And I hope your pain ends as well; it wasn't silly for you to write that in the review.  Sometimes, it's best that we tell others about those kind of things in order to move on.

THANKS TO YOU BOTH!!
