I've been really down in the dumps lately, so this chapter is a little delayed, and half-heartedly done. Also, I have to prepare for school and that sort of stuff. Again, go back to the first chapter for notes. XD Also remember that I switched it over to Cloud's point-of-view. So please don't get confused. Also, in this chapter, I don't own Kingdom Hearts, Square and Disney (hiss) do. ^_^ That gave some things away.

Honestly, I have no idea how I ended up on the back of Sephiroth's motorcycle, riding off to who knows where.

"Um. Should I change my clothes?"
"No, it's fine, besides, you don't HAVE any other clothes. That's why we're going in the first place."
"Oh. Right. You really sure I can just go out, swords, wings, cape and all?"
"Oh yeah. Well, where we're headed, they won't mind at all. Just ignore people while we're on the way there."
"…sure."
-----------------
Why am I worried? I was not comforted by the description of our destination at all. While we sped past various cars, I felt all of them staring at us, and I a good number of whistles. I tightened my grip on Sephiroth.
"We're here." Sephiroth said, parking his motorcycle. I got off, and looked at it. 'Cosplay Ideas & Stuff'. I didn't like the sound of it. "I don-" I started, but before I could protest, I was being dragged inside. We were greeted by the cashier, who Sephiroth said was also the son of the owner, and another boy sitting on the glass corner. The cashier had silver hair, reminding me of the one next to me, but was obviously younger. He wore an odd trench coat that mixed black, blue and white together. I wondered how he survived, since it was summer. The boy on the counter was happily chatting away to him. He had spikey brown hair, which I noticed resembled mine oddly. He was dressed in complete black. A black zipper jacket, and a pair of black shorts. His legs, had fishnet leggings, and very heavy looking black platform boots, which were both black of course. Let's just say that those two didn't comfort me.
"Yo, Seph!" the younger clone of Sephiroth called. Sephiroth gave an acknowledging nod, and turned to me. "Okay, here, you should be able to just look around and get whatever. They won't bother you." he said. I looked around. Leather, silk, satin, ribbons, belts, fake wings. I turned back. Sephiroth was gone. I blinked, and looked around. Guess he has other stuff to do. I slowly walked through the aisles. I picked a random outfit off the rack. A red dress of sorts. It was cut down the middle, with only occasional straps for modesty. The dress itself was in several layers, with different shades of red. There was matching arm warmers, and ribbons wrapping themselves randomly. I put it back. I walked elsewhere.
This area, was mostly props. Swords, magic wands, scepters, plush toys of who knows what. I continued on my trek. Another clothing area. I picked something randomly yet again. An amazingly fluffy white dress, with pale blue roses flecking the lace. I put it back. "Need help?" a voice said. I turned slightly. The brown-haired boy talking to the other one earlier was there, smiling. "I can help you find something in specific, or help you find a precise area or aisle." he said. "Oh." was all I could manage. "I'm Sora." the boy said, grinning, extending a hand. I shook his hand with the non-clawed hand. "Cloud." I said. He beamed at me. "So, anyone you looking for?" he asked. For a moment, I thought. "Where's the men's section?" I asked. Sora blinked. "This IS the men's section." he said. This time I couldn't even manage an 'oh'. The boy laughed a little. "Sorry, I know, there's no signs to tell you where the heck are you. I keep telling Riku to put up signs, but he keeps forgetting, I think he's doing it on purpose." he said. "Well, do you have a preference?" he asked. I have him a questioning look. "Oh! I mean for clothes." he clarified. I had never actually thought about it. "Um. Eh. I mainly like blue clothes." I said, hoping it wasn't too vague for the chocolate haired boy. Sora went back a couple steps, and looked me over. I felt a little awkward, having a little kid's vision go up and down your body. Then his blue eyes brightened, and he gave a little jump. "I have an idea. Come on!" he said a little too cheerfully, and he grabbed my hand, running, I was forced to run with him.
"Here!" the young boy next to me said, thrusting a pair of clothes at me. I didn't get a good look at it, other than it was obviously blue, and had a mix of leather, silk, and other stuff. I gave him a questioning look. "Go on, the dressing rooms right here. He said, pushing me gently towards one of the stalls. "Bu-" I started, but he had already had me in there, and closed the curtain. It was quiet. I sighed, I placed the clothes on a nearby chair. I unbuttoned the cape, letting it fall. "So, you know Sephy eh?" Sora said through the door. "Sorta." I said. "How do you guys know him?" I asked. "He's a regular customer." Sora said. Hearing that made me a little…nauseous. I continued undressing. Then I heard Sora laughing. "What?" I asked. "You like Sephy huh?" he said, amused. I stopped untying my belt. "W-what?" I asked the giggling child. "Oh, it wasn't that hard to see. The way you were looking at him, and the way you got sorta red around him. It had that atmosphere. If you try hard enough, it's really easy to see." he said. I said nothing. "Then, what about you and the silver haired one?" I asked. "Riku? Oh, we've been together for some while now. But nobody knows other than Sephy, some close friends, and now you." he said. Well, that confirmed it, there was something going with those two. Especially the way Sora said Riku's name, it was sort of wistful, and very dreamy. It was a little cute. But just how old were they? "I'm fourteen. Riku's a year older." Sora said. "Eh?" I asked, confused. "I bet you were wondering how old we were. Most people wonder that." he said. The kid definitely wasn't joking about this. I finally folded my shirt, and picked up the outfit.
Well, it was blue, for sure. Other than that, I didn't know how to describe it. Regardless, I put it on. The pale, indigo, leather turtleneck, was sleeveless, okay. There was little rings on the inside of the jacket, and they were bothering me slightly. I picked up the pair of dark blue shorts, which were amazingly…undersized. [1] I slid into them…or attempted. They were insanely tight, and the fact that it was leather didn't help. Eventually, I got them on, but I decided that I was NOT going to put on the belt, so I just let it just hand there. Then, I noticed the leather straps hanging from the shorts. I picked it up, and noticed the hook on it. Well, that explains the rings on the inside of my shirt. I hooked on the straps, feeling a bit more comfortable. Now here is where it got complicated. There was a variety of stuff left over. The boots looked simple enough, but I pushed that aside for later. Most of the stuff was belts, and the only question was, where do they go? "Um…" I began. "Need help?" Sora said, a few steps ahead of me. "Yeah." I said. Sora pushed curtain aside. Sora picked something up form the pile of the unknown. "Hold out your arm." he instructed. I did so. He slid on a midnight azure silk sleeve on, which went up to my forearm. He folded the top part of it, and tightened the small black belt at my wrist. He grabbed another sleeve, and slid it on my other arm. This one only went up to my elbow, but had a belt at the top, and a belt at my wrist. Sora tightened both. Then he picked up a solitary belt, and tied it above one of the sleeves. "Okay!" he said, cheerfully. "That just leaves the boots." I turned around. I sat on the chair (hanging the other outfit on the door) and put them on. Thankfully, shoes were shoes, and were normal (minus the fact that they were an electric blue and came up to my thighs).
"Done?" Sora asked, who had turned around, so I wouldn't feel uncomfortable. "Uh-huh." I said. He turned around, and looked me over. Sora grinned. "Wow! You look GREAT. I didn't think that it would work, but it turned out pretty darn good! And the blue really brings out your eyes!" Sora said ecstatically, hugging me in his antics. "Come on, let's go!" he said, pulling me out of the stall (I barely managed to grab my other clothes).
"Hey, Riku, he's done changing!" Sora called in the direction of the counter. The silver haired one turned around. "Man, Sora. I don't know how you manage to do it every time. He looks good." Riku said, with a lazy smile. Sora blushed, and grinned. "Yeah, he does." a voice said right next to me. I abruptly turned my head, and saw Sephiroth smiling at me. My brain promptly forgot all means of communication. The rest happened like I was watching a movie. Sephiroth went up and paid for the outfit I was currently still wearing. Sora ran, leapt over the counter, and jump hugged Riku. Riku attempted to take Sephiroth's money, while trying to ignore Sora's very public displays of affection.
"Shall we go?" I looked up. "Um, can I change back first?" I asked, feeling horribly embarrassed, being dressed up in such a thing in front of Sephiroth. "Why? You look fine." he said. I was at a loss for words, trying to process what he had just said. "O…oh." I managed. I felt comforted by the comment. "And besides, you won't get as many stares when we drive back." he said. I got more stares.
=============================================================
[1] - I had originally given Cloud a dress, but there's just TOO many fanfic where Cloud wears a dress. .
I know, I know. Sora and Riku. I couldn't help it! I was dying to add them in there, and I needed someone to be helpers in the store. And besides, they're just so darn cute together. XD And I wanted Sora to dress in black leather. Yum. XP Again, feedback and constructive criticism is appreciated.
