Chapter 6: Explanations

Sora's Pov

I stare up at the night sky that is overlooking Tranverse Town. I whimper softly as a tear rolls down my cheek. "Riku." I say softly as I sink down to the floor of the balcony. "Where are you? I'm so confused...I need you here to help me." I look up at the night sky, "If what Leon said was true...was you telling me that you loved me all just a desire of mine?" I pull my knees to my chest and rest my head on them, closing my eyes. I think back to the day that we were separated. "You promised me that you wouldn't leave me!" I yell at the night sky, as tears continue to fall down my face. "Riku..." I mumble as I curl up into the fetal position, I sob to myself as my eyes grow heavy. Against my will I fall asleep, lying on the floor of the balcony.

Leon's Pov

I cringe as I hear him yell at the sky. I'm leaning against the balcony door, apparently Sora doesn't see me because he doesn't say anything.

"What is he yelling about?" Donald asks as he walks over to me.

I sigh and turn to the duck, "He's upset about not knowing where his friend is."

"Then why doesn't he just go find him?" Goofy says, with his annoying laugh following.

I cringe again and walk over to my bed, sitting down. "It's not that simple. He's to upset right now to even consider talking about what his duty of being the keybarer, much less be able to comprehend it."

"Oh well, he just needs to get over it!" Donald says in a angry voice.

I throw a pillow at him.

"What was that for!" he yells as he gets back to his feet.

I turn to him, "If you say that he just needs to get over it...then you've never lost someone close to you before."

Silence fill the room, I don't know for how long though.

"Ah...I ah...Leon?"

I look up to see Sora standing in the doorway.

"You okay? You're...crying."

I gasp slightly and reach for me cheek, sure enough there are wet spots where tears have fallen.

"Leon?" I hear him ask again as he sits down next to me.

I abruptly get to my feet and walk across the room. "I'm fine." I mutter, "You room is though that door." I say as I point towards the blue door. "You need to get some sleep. We have a long day ahead of us tomorrow."

"Okay then. Good night." I hear him say in a concerned voice, as him, Donald, and Goofy go into the other room.

I sigh and lean my head against the wall, "Damnit. I told myself I wouldn't think about him anymore!" I fell tears fall down my cheeks again. I just let them come, cause I know that no matter what I do I'll never stop crying for him.

The Next Morning -
Sora's Pov

I lay in my bed staring at the canopy above me.

"Sora?" I hear Kairi ask. "You awake?"

I roll over to see her standing in the doorway to my room. "Yeah." I mutter, "I'll be in there in a moment."

"Okay." I hear her say cheerfully, and the door close behind her.

I stare at the closed door, "I better get up..." I say to my self, "After all I can't sleep forever can I?" I throw the covers off and get to my feet, grabbing my clothes and getting dressed.

Normal Pov

Sora walks out of his room to find Kairi, Donald, Goofy, Yuffie, and Leon sitting at the dining room table.

"Morning! Sleepy head!" Kairi yells as she motions for Sora to sit next to her, which he does.

"Sorry, everybody." Sora says sheepish grin on his face.

"Ah. Don't worry about it Sora. After all Leon just got up to." Yuffie says with smirk as she elbows Leon in the arm.

Leon pauses from putting the spoon into his mouth, "Yes. And I would have sleep longer if somebody hadn't woken me up!"

"It's not my fought you were sleeping right by the balcony door!" Yuffie yells, she pauses. "By the way, why were you sleeping leaning against the door?"

Leon sits his spoon down on the table, staring down into his plate of eggs and bacon. "I thought I saw a heartless on the balcony and so I decided to sleep against door." he then stands up from the table. "I'm going for a walk." he mutters as he leaves.

"Huh? What's his problem?" Kairi asks looking around the table. Yuffie shrugs slightly, Donald and Goofy quickly burry their selves back in their breakfast, and Sora stares after Leon.

"Sora?" Kairi asks as she nudges her friends arm.

Sora pulls away from her and stands from the table. "Excuse me." he says softly as he walks out of the door and into the main hallway of the hotel.

Kairi stares after him, "What's with them!"

"I wouldn't worry about them, at least Leon, he's always been kinda of a loner." Yuffie says, "I don't know about Sora though."

"Well, Sora's never been a loner!" Kairi practically yells as she jumps up and follows Sora.

Yuffie shakes her head as the door slams behind the red haired girl, "Oh well, I guess that means it's just me, Donald, and Goofy going shopping."

Donald and Goofy both stare at Yuffie in horror.

Sora's Pov

I follow Leon towards the outskirts of Tranverse Town, but hide behind a tree as he stops and stares off a cliff towards the horizon. (What's he doing?)

"I'm sorry..." I hear him say softly as he sits down and pulls his knees to his chest, leaning his head onto them. He stares off into the distance for who knows how long before speaking again, " Sora you can stop hiding behind the tree now."

I stiffen and slowly walks out from behind the tree and sit down next to him.

"Hey, Leon." I say with a smile. "I didn't know you were here."

Leon chuckles, "It's ok, I wanted you to follow me."

"Oh. GreWhat!" I yell as I turn to him wide eyed.

"Don't you have something to ask me about?"

I cock my head to the side, "About what?"

"About what the hell is going on? What's the keyblade? What are the heartless? Just for a few."

"Oh. Ok then will you please answer those questions?"

Leon smiles and turns to me, "Of course." he pauses and looks around before continuing, "Ok for the first one I don't have an answer. The keyblade is the ultimate weapon against the heartless...they want the keyblade but yet they also fear it." he pauses and turns back to the horizon, " And the heartless are those without hearts."

I stare at the ground processing all of this, "Those without hearts?"

Leon nods, "Yeah. Either the heartless take a persons heart and they become a heartless or a person gives into the darkness"

I gasp and I feel my heart beat speed up.

"Sora?"

I rest me head in my hands, "It's nothing..." I pause, "What do you mean by 'give into the darkness'?"

Leon stares at me with worry before sighing softly, "They openly give themselves and their hearts to the darkness."

"I still don't get it."

Leon chuckles, "Oh well" he stops as twenty shadows appear in front of us.

Me and Leon both jump to our feet as we draw our blades.

I get in a ready stance to swing but something keeps me from going through with the move.

"Sora!" I hear Leon yell followed by the swish of a blade. "What are you waiting for!"

I try and open my mouth to speak but can't.

/Yes. What indeed/

A voice asks me.

(Huh? Who are you?)

/Does that really matter/

(Yes it does!) I yell back at the disembodied voice.

/Really? Well we shall meet again./ the voice pauses/You might want to move./

I gasp and shake my head as a shadow lunges for me, I dodge and swing my blade, destroying it.

"About time! What the hell were you doing! Mediating!" Leon yells at me as he stomps over.

I glance at him with worried eyes, he stops and stares at me.

"What?"

The keyblade falls from my head and vanishes, I close my eyes tight.

After a few moments I feel a hand on my shoulder, "Sora?" Leon asks.

"I don't know what happened...he started talking to me!"

"He? He who?"

I open my eyes and stare at the ground, "I don't know..." tears begin to fall down my face.

After a what seems like hours I feel a hand brushing against my cheek, wiping the tears away. I look up to see Leon staring down at me with a sad expression in his eyes.

"It's okay. There's nothing to worry about."

I swallow hard as he leans down closer to my face.

"Um...Leon?"

He gasps, blinks, then pulls away from me, turning in the other direction.

"I um..."

"I'm sorry. You just remind me of him." Leon says in a sad tone, his face a tad red.

I step towards him, "Him who?"

Leon turns to me and opens in mouth to speak.

"So this is where you two have been all day!"

Me and Leon turn to see Yuffie, Kairi, and a very exhausted looking Donald and Goofy.

"Well...um..." I begin but am cut off by Leon.

"Yes. I told Sora about the keyblade and the heartless." he says in a emotionless tone, as he looks up at the ninja. "Then we were attacked by heartless."

"What? Why didn't you send up a flare!" Yuffie yells as she drops her shopping bags and stomps over to me and Leon.

"Cause there wasn't that many of them." Leon replies, ignoring Yuffie's glare. "Now head back to the hotel and pack your things."

"Why!" Kairi asks in a worried tone.

Leon glances at Donald and Goofy, "Can you guys have the gummi ship ready by tonight?" he says, ignoring Kairi's question.

Goofy nods, "Sure can!" him and Donald leave th area.

"What are you planning Leon?" Yuffie asks eyeing in suspiciously.

Leon sighs, "Nothing, it's just time we head out."

Yuffie grumbles as Kairi picks up the dropped bags and begins to pull Yuffie back in the direction of the hotel.

Once their gone I turn to him, "Where are we going?"

Leon turns to me, smirking. "To save the universe."

EH: Okay! I'm stopping there...it's eleven P.M. by the clock on my computer...I need to go to sleep! Well anyway...

Ryu: Who was talking to Sora?

EH: Right! Good Ryu. Who was it? You won't find out for a long time! ((evil grin)). And who does Leon keep saying he's sorry to? Hmm.
To all you Riku fans, I'm sorry for Riku not being in this chapter but I promise that the next chapter will be all about him! Or mostly at least. But really Riku is my fave character from KH! ((drools over picture of Riku)). Now, um...I'm tired and need to go to sleep...Read and Review...((Falls asleep while in computer chair)).

Ryu: ((shakes head)) Yes please R&R. Until next me meet! Good night!
