Watch out!

Leon awoke today, much like he did the day before. Only this time, Gir was not looking directly at his face, but instead was curled up at the end of the bed. Yuffie's face was snuggled up against his shoulder, and the best part was, he didn't fall out of bed this time.

Carefully getting put of bed without waking Yuffie or Gir he went to take his shower.

Upon getting out of the shower and entering the kitchen, Yuffie was awake and Gir was watching him expectedly. "Mornin'" Gir squealed and jumped onto his shoulder. "Hello Gir." It purred at the attention.

Yuffie giggled. "Squally, Sora's coming today. We were going to go meet him in the Market. You coming?"

"Of course. Gir, you coming too?" Leon asked. He figured that if Gir was really harmless, and had no intention of hurting him, he may as well get used to the little Heartless. It purred louder. Yuffie smiled. "What time is he getting here?"

"He didn't say, but we're gonna met up in a few. Get your coffee, Sora doesn't need to see you looking like a zombie." Yuffie laughed at the thought of Leon being a big green monster, walking around and dragging his foot. Leon smiled knowing exactly what she was thinking.

Yuffie, Leon, and Gir ( who trailed behind Leon) met up with Aerith and Cid just outside the entrance to the Market.

"'Bout time you got here." Cid complained. "I see that fucking little thing is still stalking you."

"He's not a little thing! His name is Gir!" Leon protested. Cid and Aerith shared a glance before turning back to the couple.

"So, anyway. Ready to see Sora?" Aerith asked, watching Leon pet the Heartless's head like a cat.

"You bet!" Yuffie said, pulling Leon up and wrapping herself around his waist. The four of them casually marched into the Market.

"Sora, who are these friends of your anyway?" Riku asked, after disembarking from the Gummi Ship with Donald and Goofy.

"Don't worry, you'll like them. Yuffie is a little hyper, Aerith is a little OVER PROTECTIVE, Cid is rude sometimes, and Leon is like a brick wall." Sora explained naming the friends on his fingers.

"Leon a brick wall?" Riku questioned.

"Well Riku, Sora means that Leon can just randomly, daze off or completely ignore people when he wants too." Goofy explained.

"Oh. Hey Sora, when was the last time you saw them?"

"Hmmm, well actually, its been a few months, we've been busy fighting the Heartless and looking for you." Sora laughed nervously.

"Hey, Sora, there's Leon and the gang now!" Donald announced pointing at the small group approaching them.

"Hey! Leon over here!" Sora shouted waving his arm in the air. Yuffie squealed, pulled away from Leon, and ran up to Sora and his group.

"SORA!" Yuffie gave that much of a warning before she hugged Sora.

"Yuffie! Get off Sora." Leon pouted.

Yuffie giggled. "Aww, is Squally jealous?" Leon, turned away. Aerith and Cid came up to the group.

"Oh, guys, I'd like you to meet Riku." Sora said waving a hand in Riku's direction.

"Hello, I'm Aerith" Aerith greeted him.

"Hey," Riku waved.

"Leon! Behind you!" Donald shouted, just as Goofy jumped and flying tackled Leon to the ground.

"What the hell! Goofy you have 5 seconds to get the hell off me before I take your head!" Leon growled. Goofy jumped up.

"Stand back, Leon. Your disarmed, I'll take care of this Heartless!" Sora said summoning his key blade.

"NUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUU" Leon shouted.

"What?" Donald asked. "it's a Heartless."

Leon ran over to Gir, kneeled on the ground, and snuggled Gir's face. "You cant hurt him!"

Sora, Riku, Donald, and Goofy were dumbstruck. Leon….hugging…a…Heartless? It was weird enough to hug a Heartless, but Leon? He was the most cold hearted person Sora had ever met.

"Uh, Is that the Leon you were talking about?" Riku asked still unable to look away from Leon. Sora nodded. "He doesn't seem to be a brick wall." Sora shook his head.

"Oh Leon!" Yuffie smiled. She kissed Leon on the cheek. This again caused Sora to stare. "I told you, you have a soft spot for cute things!" Yuffie said poking herself in the cheek and sticking out her tongue. Leon smiled, as he stood back up. Bringing Gir with him.

"Sora, This is my pet, Gir!" Leon said holding the Heartless out in front to him.

"Uh…" Sora still had nothing to say.

"You see Sora. This little Heartless followed Yuffie and Leon home one day after training, and they've had it ever since." Aerith explained.

"And, it doesn't attack him?" Goofy asked.

"No, we were confused about that too. But the Heatless seems to has a thing for Leon and apparently Leon likes it too." Cid said.

"Right," Riku begun "Hey Leon, can I hold it?" Leon pondered for a moment.

"Ok, but its name is Gir! Not 'it' got that?" Riku nodded as Leon handed Gir to him. Riku petted the little Heartless and it begun to purr. He had never held a Shadow before. Its skin was kind of like leather, except softer, and its claws were retracted into its hands and feet, like a cat.

"Wow. Leon that's so cool!" Sora said petting Gir. Leon smirked.

Yea well. Gir is mine and Yuffie's you cant have him!" He said reclaiming Gir from Riku.

Donald and Goofy looked confused, and decided to start up a conversation with Cid and Aerith. Maybe Leon was just going crazy. Absolutely nothing to worry about. He will be back to his old, mean, cold-hearted self in no time. Or so they hoped. Happy Leon was kind of creepy…

A/N--Yes, Leon was very much OOC this Chapter. But its kind of hard not to have him like that. And yes…sometimes a happy Squall can be scary…Anyway. Thanks to those who reviewed. I think I'll only have about 8 maybe 10 chapters maybe less i dont know….but that's only if I can come up with ideas or if people continue to give me some ideas.
