Chapter Six: Back Again

When Cloud woke up from his sleep, he noticed that he was alone in the bed. Outside the wind kept howling but there was no rain or thunder anymore. Cloud sat up and stretched with a yawn, looking around. His eyes landed on the clock and he was surprised to see that it was almost noon. He stood up and headed downstairs, still wearing the clothes he'd slept in.

When he entered the living room, Cloud couldn't help but smile. Leon and Riku were playing a video game and Sora was watching happily. He'd kept pointing out secrets to Leon and giving him advice, but no matter what he said, Riku was still winning. The game ended and Riku smirked at Leon cockily.

"That makes it three to zero," Riku mocked. "Even Sora's better then you at this."

"How did you beat me?" Leon demanded. "No one ever beats me at that game."

"Well, not everyone can be as good as me," Riku stated concededly.

"Shut it," the older teen snapped.

"Can we have breakfast now?" Sora asked.

"Fine…" Leon grumbled and got up, the two others following him.

They walked into the kitchen and Cloud couldn't help but smiled. Leon must've wanted to let him sleep in so he'd entertained the kids with something quiet. It must've been a major blow to his pride to lose to a four year old at his favorite PS2 game.

Cloud followed them into the kitchen and said good morning.

"More like good afternoon," Leon grumbled. "Why is there no food in this house?"

"'Cause Sora ate it all?" Cloud suggested, amused.

"I did not!" Sora exclaimed and little Riku snickered at him.

"I meant the other Sora," Cloud elaborated and the two looked at him confused.

"What other Sora?" Sora and Riku asked.

"Never mind," Cloud smiled. "What about cereal?"

"They inhaled the last of it this morning," Leon sighed as pulled out a box that read Hamburger Helper on the front. "Check to see if there's any hamburger in the freezer."

Cloud did so and was happy to find some hidden behind a bag of ice.

"Hamburger," he said, holding it up. "Do you even know how to cook this?"

"…"

"…Move, I'll do it," Cloud sighed.


Breakfast/lunch was actually pretty good. Cloud was pleased to discover that he wasn't a half-bad if he followed the direction exactly. He had called his mother a couple of times, when Leon and the kids where in the living room, to ask for help on how to do somethin. His mom had been amused to no end and walked him thought how to defrost and cook hamburger.

Riku and Sora had devoured the food and complimented Cloud politely. The blonde was very proud of himself and blushed at their praise. Leon couldn't help think that he looked very cute like that. He almost blushed as he thought about their shared kiss, but managed to keep it under control and unnoticed. To distract himself, the brunette tuned into the conversation Cloud was having with the little kids.

"So how often are you two by yourselves?" Cloud asked.

Riku shrugged, "Lots, but our neighbor, Mrs. Reyna, comes and keeps an eye on us when she can."

"She's very nice," Sora added. "But she doesn't approve of our parents."

Leon discreetly raised an eyebrow but said nothing.

"She says they're too irresponsible," Riku continued. "And if we had anywhere else to go she would turn them in for child neglect."

"She's gonna report you?" Cloud asked, incredulous.

"No, Mrs. Reyna doesn't like orphanages or foster homes so she doesn't say anything," Riku explained. "But she does come to check on us lots and even lets us spend the night when nobodies home."

"That's terrible," Cloud muttered. "How can parents just take off on their kids?"

"Momma and Papa still love us," Sora pointed out. "They're just not read to be parents. They're still kids themselves."

"How old are they?"

"Momma's twenty, Papa's twenty-two." Sora began.

"And mommy's nineteen and daddy just turned twenty-two a little while ago," Riku finished.

"They had to be Kairi and Wakka's age when they had you then." Leon frowned. "Still, that's no excuse for abandoning you."

"They didn't abandon us," Riku snapped. "They always come back."

"Calm down," Cloud soothed. "We didn't mean anything by it. Why don't you two go play, but stay inside, it's too cold out and is supposed to rain again."

The little boys got up and stalked off without a word. They stomped upstairs and slammed the door shut. Cloud flinched and Leon sighed.

"The potion's wearing off," Leon muttered. "They're starting to talk like their teenage selves again."

"It's only been what, two days? It must not have been a very strong potion," Cloud mused.

"Whatever," Leon grumbled, "I'll just be glad when this is all over."

Cloud nodded slightly and an awkward silence fell between them. Both were suddenly reminded of the kiss they shared last nigh and made sure not to make eye contact with each other. Just as the silence was becoming too much, footsteps bounded down the stairs.

"Cloud, Leon!" Riku flew into the kitchen, looking terrified.

"What is it?" Cloud asked, getting up as Riku snatched his hand.

"Sora! Sora fell down and now he won't get up!" Riku cried. Leon quickly stood and headed upstairs; Cloud picked up Riku and followed.

They found Sora lying on his bedroom floor, shivering. Leon gently turned the boy over and held him in his lap.

"He has a fever," Leon said, holding his hand against his own forehead and Sora's. "Get a blanket, he's freezing."

Cloud snatched a heavy comforter off Sora's bed and handed it to Leon, who wrapped it tightly around Sora.

"Go check the house for some medicine," Leon ordered.

He stood with Sora in his arms and headed downstairs after Cloud. Riku followed next to him silently, worried about his best friend and angry that he couldn't do anything to help. Cloud came back a few minutes later empty handed; he couldn't find anything but the thermometer that was in the first aid kit, for some odd reason.

Leon took Sora's temperature and frowned unhappily when it read 102 degrees (Fahrenheit).

"We should take him to the doctor," Leon shook his head. "He needs medicine."

"All right, but how do we get there? It's practically a hurricane out so we can't walk and we don't have any money left."

Phone," Leon ordered and held his hand out. "Cloud handed him the phone without question and watched as Leon shifted Sora a little so he could dial the number. He put the receiver to his ear and waited a second before speaking.

"Anthony, it's Leon," he stated calmly. "I need a lift, now."

There was a brief silence when Cloud figured the other person was talking.

"1212 Key Lane," Leon answered.

There was another pause.

"Make it five," he ordered and hung up.

"Anthony's is going to give you a lift to the doctors, I'll stay here with Riku," Leon explained.

"No! I want to go with Sora!" Riku yelled.

"No, Anthony's got a motorcycle and we can't all go," Leon explained. "Cloud, you're better at this type of thing then me, so you take him."

"I don't know," Cloud muttered. "You seem to be doing pretty well to me."

"What?"

"Nothing," Cloud kneeled down to Riku. "Don't worry, Riku. I promise Sora will be fine." Riku sniffed but didn't object further. A few minutes later PERSON arrived and knocked on the door. Leon got handed Sora to Cloud and let him.

"This is stupid," Anthony complained when Leon opened the door. "It's a bloody hurricane out there and you want a lift? Where to, anyway?"

Leon gestured to Cloud, who was putting on his and Sora's jacket. "Take them to the nearest hospital and don't you dare breathe a word about this to anyone."

Anthony looked at him in surprise before nodding his head. "Come on then, let's go." He led the way outside into the roaring wind.

"Bye-bye, Sor-Sor," Riku whispered sadly as he watched them leave. Leon closed the door and sighed.


It had been three hours and they still hadn't heard from Cloud abut how Sora was doing. Leon was sprawled out on the couch, staring at the ceiling moodily. Riku was sitting on the floor staring at the TV but not really watching the movie that was on it. Leon had tried distracting him, but it didn't work so well.

Riku growled quietly and shut the annoying movie off. Leon raised an eyebrow but said nothing as the four year old crawled onto his chest and laid his head down. He mumbled something and hugged the older boy close.

"What's up?" Leon muttered, his voice sounding sleepy.

"Want Sora," the little boy whined.

"We'll hear from them soon," Leon soothed. It felt weird trying to reassure someone that everything was going to be ok. Normally Leon would just tell them to shut up and wait, but ever since this fiasco had started he'd been acting strange.

First, he actually agreed to baby-sit Sora and Riku, he completely ignored the fact that this was mostly his fault in the first place. Then he'd actually been amused and showed it as he watched Sora and Riku interact with each other, not to mention all the strange thoughts he'd been having about Cloud. And to add to that he'd actually kissed Cloud! Leon was still trying to figure out what that was all about.

The brunette also had the strong suspicion that Riku and Sora had something to do with that gay porn that had suddenly appeared on the TV. He'd been protective of not only Sora and Riku, but Cloud as well when they'd gone out. Yelling at the rude shopkeeper and getting up in the clown-like woman's face when her son had hurt Sora. He was just acting so strange and no matter what he said to himself, Leon couldn't help but like the change. But only a little bit.

The phone rang and Leon sat up quickly, almost knocking Riku down, who was half asleep on his chest. Leon moved the little boy, who rubbed his eyes tiredly, and grabbed the phone quickly.

"Hello?" He winced at how desperate his voice sounded.

"Leon? This is Ansem," his science teacher stated coolly.

"Oh, what's up?" Leon tried to hide his disappointment that it wasn't Cloud.

"I've managed to come up with an antidote. Get Riku and Sora to the school now," the man ordered.

"I can't," Leon said. "Cloud had to take Sora to the hospital, he got really sick and I'm stuck here with Riku and no way to get anywhere."

"WHAT!" Ansem screamed so loud that Leon almost dropped the phone. "YOU IDIOT! You can't let them give Sora any type of medicine! We have no idea how it would react with the potion in his system! What's meant to help him could end up killing him!"

Leon blinked, for once, he was actually speechless.

"Leon! Leon are you there! Damn it you stupid brat! Answer me NOW!"

"Hold on," Leon muttered. "There's another call beeping in."

"WHAT! Then let it beep! Don't put me on---" He was cut off as Leon changed lines.

"Hello?"

"Leon? It's Cloud."

Leon sighed in actual relief. "Oh good, Cloud, you can't give Sora any medicine."

"What, why not?"

"Because Ansem's on the other line and said that there's no way to tell how the medicine will react with the potion in Sora's system and could end up hurting him instead of helping."

"Really, well now I'm suddenly glad that the doctor hasn't shown up yet," Cloud muttered. Leon could just see him running a hand through his blonde spikes.

"Hasn't shown up? You've been gone for three hours."

"There were a lot of accidents because of the weather and things here are really busy," Cloud explained. "What did Ansem want?"

"He's found an antidote," Leon muttered. "We have to get to the school."

"All right," Cloud answered. "I'll get Anthony to bring me back there and then we'll head to the school. The weather's clamed down enough for us to be able to walk."

"All right, I'll tell Ansem then," Leon replied. "See ya."

"Bye." Cloud hung up and Leon switched lines again.

"We'll be there in about an hour," Leon stated without bothering to explain.

"Fine, whatever," Ansem snapped. "Ungrateful bastard teenagers…" Ansem grumbled as he hung up the phone and Leon smirked. He hung the phone up and plopped back onto the couch where Riku immediately climbed on him again.

"Sor-Sor?" The little boy asked cutely.

"Will be fine," Leon answered. "They're on their way back now."

Leon couldn't resist the small smiled that appeared on his face when Riku's eye lit up at the news. They fell silent again, listening to the howling wind outside. It wasn't as bad as before, but it would be stupid to go walking around out there.

"Leon?" Riku whispered from his chest.

"Hmm?"

"Do you like Cloud?"

"…What d'ya mean?"

"You kissed him," Riku pointed.

"You two put that movie in, didn't you?"

"Uh-huh," Riku mumbled. "It's what mommy and daddy watch when they get into fights or mommy's being stubborn."

Leon frowned in annoyance. "Don't do that again."

"K," Riku muttered. "But you like him, right?"

"It's not as simple as that," Leon sighed. Why was he talking about this with a little kid?

"Why not?"

"Well…'cause," Leon stumbled for the right words. "You don't do that type of thing with boys."

"Why not?"

"It's just the way things are," Leon muttered.

"Says who?"

"Society, I guess."

Riku was quiet before he asked his next question. "What's society?"

"It's everyone," Leon answered, "All the people that live around the world."

"And they all say kissing boys is bad?"

"It's only bad if you're a boy as well," Leon explained.

"Why do they get to choose?"

"Choose what?"

"Who gets to kiss who," Riku elaborated. "I thought that we got to pick who we kiss."

Leon smiled sadly. "We should get to pick, shouldn't we? But unfortunately things don't work that way."

"Well I say they should," Riku decided and sat up on Leon's chest.

"You said everyone's a member of society, right?"

"Right…"

"And that includes me and Sora, and you and Cloud, right?"

"Right…"

"Then we say that you can kiss whoever you want!" Riku declared firmly. "As part of society I say you can give kisses to anyone."

Leon couldn't help but smile. Yes, this whole ordeal had changed him a lot, and possibly for the better. It was hard to believe it had only been two and half days since Sora and Riku were turned into kids. The weekend hadn't even finished yet.

"Maybe you're right," Leon admitted.

"Of course I'm right," Riku glared at him. "I'm always right."

"Sure kid," Leon rolled his eyes and playfully pushed Riku away.


When Cloud and Sora showed up, Cloud was carrying the sleeping boy in his arms and had to reassure a nearly hysterical Riku that he was just asleep and not dead. Leon grabbed an oversized jacket and forced Riku into while grabbing his own. He picked up Riku and covered his head with the hood of the jacket.

"Wait," Cloud exclaimed. "Clothes."

"Right," Leon muttered and headed to get teenage clothes for when they turned back. He came back a minute later with the folded clothes and picked up Riku again.

"Let's go," he ordered.

They stepped outside into the roaring wind and headed to the school. It took a little longer then usual to get there it, but they eventually arrived at the school. The front doors were unlocked so the group just walked in and went straight to the science lab. Ansem was already there waiting and looking terrible. His normally perfect hair and prefect clothes were messed up and it looked like he hadn't slept in awhile.

"What the hell took you idiots so long?" He snapped. "Never mind, I don't care. Set them on the table."

Leon put Riku on the desk before Ansem and Cloud put Sora next to him, but didn't let go since the brunette was still sleeping. Ansem looked over Sora for a minute before grabbing some papers and checking things over.

"All right," he began. "Let's give the antidote to Riku first."

"Fine," Cloud sighed.

Riku looked wide eyed between them all. "Give me what?" He demanded.

"This," Ansem held up a small vile of reddish liquid and grabbed Riku's chin. "Drink." He ordered and forced the potion down his mouth. Riku coughed and spluttered.

"Geez Ansem," Cloud exclaimed, patting Riku's back gently. "You could've just asked, he would have taken it on his own."

Ansem ignored him as he watched Riku with interest, writing everything down. Riku blinked once, then twice, and it looked as though he were drunk. This was backed up when he hiccupped and blinked again.

Then, just as abruptly as the first time, Riku's body began to grow. The baby clothes he was wearing ripped as he slowly re-grew into a teenager. When he was fully back to normal, Riku shook his head and looked around in confusion.

"What the hell is going?" He demanded.

"Riku? Are you all right? Do you remember anything?" Cloud asked.

Riku placed a hand on his head. "I…I don't know. I feel like…a little kid or something." He looked at them and noticed Sora for the first time, who was still sound asleep. "What the hell!" He jumped off the desk and the others looked away quickly, except for Ansem who stared in obvious attraction.

Riku blinked and looked down to see that he was naked. "Damn it, where are my clothes?" He demanded, not even bothering to cover himself up.

Riku was very proud of his gorgeous body with rock hard abs and a very nice package. But that still didn't mean he wanted to stand around naked while his perverted science teacher stared at him lustfully.

"Here," Leon handed him his clothes quickly, a light blush covering his cheeks. Riku raised an eyebrow; since when did Leon blush?

"Thanks," Riku took the clothes and got dressed. "So, anybody going to explain things to me?" He asked once he was dressed.

"You have no memory of the past couple days?" Ansem demanded.

"Not really…" Riku thought about. "Though, I think I had this crazy dream that Sora and I were kids again and Leon and Cloud had to take care of us."

"Uh…that wasn't a dream, Riku," Cloud offered. Riku looked at him with a raised eyebrow.

"Right," he drawled, "Because people get turned into kids on a daily basis."

"Not really," Leon muttered sarcastically, "Just you and Sora." He pointed at the three year old Sora who was just starting to wake up.

"Holy shit," Riku exclaimed. "Sora!"

He watched, amazed, as Sora sat up and yawned, stretching his little arms. The child blinked his eyes and looked around confusedly.

"What?" He asked, cocking his head cutely to the side. "Where's Ri-Ri?"

"Oh my gosh," Riku breathed. "It wasn't a dream. No one but Sora ever called me that." Sora looked up at his teenage friend confused.

"Riku? Big Riku," the little boy's eyes widened.

"Change him back," Riku ordered, glaring at Ansem. Ansem shrugged and pulled out another red vile. Riku snatched it and gently held it to Sora who drank it without question.

A minute later, a teenage Sora sat on the table in place of the little boy. He looked around confused, much the same way Riku had.

"Guys…what's going on?" He frowned.

Riku grabbed his clothes and held them to a now very embarrassed Sora. Sora quickly took them and put them on, blushing like mad. He missed the equally lustful look Ansem gave him as he changed, but no one else did. They all glared at the disturbing man, who ignored them.

"Ok," Sora began, once his clothes were on. "What is going on?"

"We were turned into babies for the last three days and Cloud and Leon took care of us," Riku explained nonchalant.

"Oh…" Sora paused for a minute. "Cloud and Leon took care of us? And we're still alive?"

"Hey!" Cloud and Leon yelled while Riku burst out laughing.

"Now that I think about it," he went on. "I do sorta remember something like that. It feels like a dream, though."

"Apparently it was real," Riku shrugged. "This is weird."

"So can you guys remember everything?" Cloud asked.

"Na, just bits and pieces and they're all scrambled," Riku shook his head. "I remember more feelings and impressions then what actually happened."

"Ya," Sora agreed. "But I do remember being forced into a bath." He shivered. "I hate baths."

"Well," Ansem interrupted them. "We're technically not supposed to be here. So…get out. If either of you…I don't know, dies, call me. Otherwise, all for of you will have detention for a week when vacation ends. Now get out!" He shouted the last part and the four teenagers left quickly.


A/N: Yay! The baby was born! And Sora and Riku were turned back into teens in this chapter! I'm happy! Though, I am confused because at the moment my profile page won't update. It's stayed the same for about two weeks ago; I even updated two of my fics but it doesn't show that my profile. It's weird and more then a little annoying.

REVIEWS

A lot of people had the same question: What did Sora mean when he said that Angels could hurt him?"

Answer: I'm sorry if I mislead anyone, it really didn't mean anything. Sora was just acting like a three year old by being stubborn and disagreeing with whatever anyone said. There was no deeper meaning behind it…sorry.

First Question from Reina-183: Why do Sora's parents have gay porn?

Answer: They're perverted, nothing big.

Comment to Les Scribbles: For answer, see above comment.

Um, I also have a question for anyone that cares. I've started another fic for the same reason I started this one, just as a release. It's an AU KH/DNAngel crossover and very perverted. The pairings are Sora/Riku, Satoshi/Daisuke and just about everyone with everyone. Anyways, when I finish this, I want to post that one. What does anyone think? Should I or not?

Next Chapter: Sora and Riku decide to play matchmakers with Cloud and Leon. Title: I.O.U. at the Movies.
