Katana-kun: Warnings: Disclaimer: Issues
YAOI! Male/Male relationships, don't like what are you doing reading this?
Flames will do you no good, I'm a stubborn person... I need fuel for my fire.
I will write this, despite if anyone reads this or not...
I don't care about reviews, but they are always welcome, good and bad.
I don't own Kingdom Hearts. I don't WANT to own Kingdom Hearts, too many people after my life 00.
Heart's Way is a Sora/ Sepiroth fic. OOC to be expected. OC is in here (I reluctantly added them...)
This is not for Riku lovers (which excludes the whole female population...)
Fanfiction is not for professional writers, so if bad spelling and/or grammar gets on your nerves, then you may want to hit the back button...
Risa: "K-kun would like me to thank you all for the wonderful reviews… He wrote this for me to type out to you… Unfortunately, he was called to a business meeting (BLOODY VOULTURES!) and was unable to type it himself… But he wrote it out! Chuckles evily. He also told me that I could change one thing in this story, as long as it doesn't alter anything… Does changing a name alter anything?"
Reviews: Katana-kun bows politely Thank you all for reviewing… If your name doesn't show up and you reviewed please inform me. How do you guys like this update?
Raye-Raye: Thank you very much. We all do what we can…
animegirl: I'm glad you love it.
TenshiGirl: Thank you for choosing this one.
Brit: You are not stupid, just momentarily confused. The people are original characters. Usually, I to enjoy the RikuxSora parings, but I wanted to try something "outside of the box…" I tried to send you the lemon but the e-mail was returned…

Kupo: How do you like this update? Thank you.
Garagun: I need your e-mail address…
Sepiroth awoke to find himself face to face with spiky chestnut brown locks. He slowly disentangled himself from his heavily slumbering love, trying not to wake Sora. Once untangled and standing, he took a quick look at Sora's adorable face and wanted to crawl back into bed and lie there all day, but he knew he couldn't. He sighed and silently dressed.
He decided he needed something to wake him up and coffee would do very nicely. He left the hotel and headed toward the nearest café.
He opened the small glass door and saw Riku, Li, and Leon sitting at one table together. Li and Leon waved him over while Riku just glared. He quickly joined them to spite Riku.
Leon was enjoying the scathing looks that Riku was sending Sepiroth and Li snorted softly. He knew to stay out of matters of the heart well enough.
"What's wrong with you brat?" Sepiroth asked Riku coldly. Riku growled. Riku turned to face Sepiroth. "Leave Sora alone," he demanded. Sepiroth glared at Riku in turn. "And if I refuse?" he asked. He could of sworn that Riku's normal sea green eyes flashed gold. "Then I'll tear you apart piece by bloody piece!" Riku yelled.
Li looked up from his expresso. Some people just didn't know when to be quiet. Li growled and that caught their attention. "Some of us are trying to enjoy a quiet morning," he trailed off. Leon nodded his head in agreement to Li. "Yeah, and you two are not helping to keep it peaceful," Leon finished.
Sepiroth sighed. All he wanted was a coffee. Speaking of which, a waiter came around to take his order. "Just a coffee… Something strong…" he said and the waiter nodded.
Meanwhile
Sora yawned and stretched. He reached out to the space beside him to find Sepiroth, but found it empty. "Hunh?" he asked himself. "Oh. He must be out and about…"
"Sora, are you up yet?" a melodic female voice asked him from his door. "Yeah, Clarin, I'm up. Come in…" he said. She entered with a frown on her delicate features. "Sora, I'm afraid I haven't told you the whole truth…" she started. Sora blinked. "Sit please…" he asked and she complied by sitting on the edge of the red canopied bed.
"Where do I start?" she wondered. Sora smiled. "Why don't we start at the beginning?" he said helpfully. Clarin nodded. "Of course."
"First of all, please understand that not all darkness is evil. Not all "monsters" are filled with malice and the lust to kill," she started. Sora nodded in understanding.
"In the beginning, The Lady or as she was known, Riena, created a world out of dead stars. The world was gorgeous! There were oceans as clear as the sky! Desserts and oasis were very few. Forests and jungles were lush with greenery and life. Fairies, Imps, wood Elves! Any thing that you could only imagine called it home! Vierace was a home to those whom had lost hope… So many…"
"There were 3 men above the rest that stood out amongst Vierace. Jaded, Li, and Katan. They were the Lady's sons. All loved her and obeyed her with out question."
"I went to Vierace when I was only 6 years with my older brother, Kora. Our world had been torn apart by war and it was no longer safe to stay there. I remember what happened like it was yesterday… I was so upset that I had run away from the group and the next thing I knew I was in two warm, loving, and gentle arms. The Lady was holding me as if I were her own child. She had long blood red hair and beautiful blue eyes, like yours. She had a small nose and pale pink lips, her skin was as pale as snow, but as warm as spring. What really caught my attention was her warm smile. It was gentle and sweet."
"I had fallen asleep in the Lady's arms and awoke the next day, only to find myself in a huge bed. As it turned out, we had been adopted by The Lady. When Kora and I asked to train in the arts of war as not to be weak, we were expecting her to outright refuse. She had just frowned a little, but agreed. 'If that is truly what you desire and if it will make you happy then I allow it…'."
"Kora and I were trained by separate masters. I was trained by Li while Kora was trained by Katan. As the years flew by, I fell in love with Li as Kora fell in love with Katan. After 6 years, we married. Kora and Katan had married 4 years before us… Jaded, Li's twin brother, had married a young man named Amethyst. Before we knew it, 2 years had passed by."
"About 3 weeks after the news that Amethyst had given birth to a boy, a dark traveler wearing a cloak showed up. He brought with him an army of Heartless… Thus our world was overrun. The Lady had given birth to a small child, but couldn't let him stay. She sent him to a small island far, far away to protect him. No one knows what happened to him…
"Li and I escaped with a ship Li had been tinkering with… I don't know about the others, but I can only hope that they made it off world O.K. Unfortunately, the Lady stayed behind to defend her planet, we didn't know until she missed her meeting with us at Halloween Town… That was 18 years ago…" she finished solemnly.
Sora was shocked. 'Wow…' he thought… "WAIT! 18 years ago? How old are you!" he asked aloud, blushing when he realized that he had asked an impolite question. Clarin only giggled. "I'm 328 in demon years, but I'm 36 now… I was 16 when I married Li and he was only 19 then," she said fondly. "Sounds like a beautiful fairytale…" he said dreamily. She smiled. "It wasn't a fairytale. It was reality for us…"
Sora smiled again. "You and Li seem so happy together…" he said. She smiled. "We do have arguments, but we love each other so… It took me 6 years to get him to say he loved me!" She said.
Sephiroth finished his coffee and paid for it. 'Sora should be up by now…' he thought. He bid good bye to his current company and stood. "Wait. I'll come with you," Li said. They walked out of the café. "I don't trust you," Sepiroth said bluntly. Li just nodded. "As it should be," he said calmly. Sephiroth nodded, accepting this response. "That child… Riku. Do you know who his parents are?" Li asked. Sepiroth shook his head. "He and Sora were orphans…" Sepiroth said carefully. Li's jade eyes darkened then brightened. 'So… That's where they went…' he thought. Ah… Irony. Thy name is Sora.
Clarin felt Li's familiar energy approach their location. "They're back," she informed Sora. Sora nodded, not questioning how Clarin knew.
Li knew that, by now, his wife knew they were back. Sepiroth smirked at the thought of getting Sora alone. Li smirked at the thought of pinning his wife to the bed…
(Risa: It's scary how they think alike. Li and Seph: Glares at her Risa: EEP!)
Riku frowned, his emerald eyes darkened into a jade green. 'Li seems so familiar to me… As if I've seen him before… But WHERE!' Riku wondered.
END. For now.
Risa: I changed Gereck to Katan… I don't like the name Gereck… Well he did say I could change one thing… LOL! I hope you all enjoy this installment… Katana's gonna throttle me when he gets back.
