Sorry for the uber long update.

It was...blurry. He heard voices...but couldn't make them out.

"Sora, You're awake! What in the world happened!"

It sounded like that skeleton guy. But all Leon could remember was walking through the gates to Halloween town with Cloud and then he had blacked-out after that. And now...he didn't know.

"I don't know...I just remember walking into Halloween town,"

It was Sora, and he sounded just as confused as Leon felt.

"Me too," It was Riku, Leon knew that much, "I just remember walking in, then everything went black," Riku said, then Leon finally go the willpower to open his eyes. He'd heard everyone else, but not the one he actually WANTED to hear. He was worried more about Cloud then anything else. He didn't know what happened while he was blacked-out, but he knew it was something horrible.

Jack was standing there, his hands outstretched to Sora. Sora was clinging to Riku and Leon didn't see anything of his favorite blonde.

"Where's Cloud?" Leon asked, standing up shakily and looking around. Jack gave him a look,

"You guys don't remember?" Jack asked, then his face showed shock, even though he was still a skeleton, "I could have sworn strange man with the long silver hair came in and told me that Cloud was going with him. He told me no to worry,"

Leon felt his world turn on axis. He couldn't feel anything, and it was like his whole world was blind. He...he suddenly had flashes of what happened when he was blacked-out. The shock of them suddenly coming made him sit down and put his hand to his head. He even saw that Riku and Sora were sitting down as well.

---

I never knew I could hate my own brother

---

Sora winced and covered his eyes. That part of what happened came to him with full force.

---

Pervert, I've heard enough, I thought I knew you Cloud

---

Riku felt that scene flash in his mind over and over. He couldn't believe it. He would never say those things to someone he loved as a brother!

---

Is this some sort of punishment for me being so rude to you lately? I don't know...and...Talk to me later, I don't want to see you right now.

---

Leon wanted to cry. He actually wanted to cry. What had he done?

"Skeleton, please tell me this is a joke," He murmured, although he knew that he wouldn't get an answer he liked, "Please tell me that we blacked-out at the gates and you just brought us here...please tell me that Cloud is going to burst through the door over there saying he had to go to the bathroom,"

The skeleton shook his head and put his fingers to his chin, "You guys were pretty harsh, I could hear you in here,"

Leon winced. That damn pile of bones wasn't helping! He could hear the stain in Cloud's voice, he could see the loss in his eyes, he could hear the heart of the kindest person alive breaking. He...he hurt him...again.

Sora was crying, and Leon was afraid that even Riku was. He knew that HE was. He could feel the pain in Cloud.

"We have to help him," Leon said, then looked up, a determined look in his eyes, "we have to go find Cloud,"

Sora looked up at Leon, then nodded. He stood up, and Riku stood with him. Riku was still holding onto Sora, and Sora was clutching the back of Riku's shirt. They both nodded determinedly.

"But, do you guys know where he is?" Jack asked, looking at all of them. Leon looked at the skeleton, then shook his head, looking down.

"I think I might know someone who knows where this man is," Jack said, putting his hand in his fist, "Yes, he just might,"

"Who?" Leon exclaimed, but didn't notice that both Sora and Riku yelled it too.

"His name is Saix," (AN: The dude in KH 2 with the huge broadsword, blueish-silver hair, that kinda spikes and falls to the middle of his back) "He resides in a place called Twilight Town, he lives with a delivery service called 'Organization 13'. It's a rather famous delivery service. But Saix used to work for that man, he might know,"

Leon nodded, then looked at Jack, "How do you know all this?"

"I used to travel myself when I was alive," Jack said, a small smile on his face, "I met that man, he was only fourteen when I met him, he'd be over thirty now, but he was working for him then. I remember his name, but I don't remember the other's,"

"Ansem," Leon growled, then walked toward the door, throwing it open and not even waiting for Sora nor Riku, he was going to get the fastest ticket to Twilight Town, wether he knew where Organization thirteen was or not.

Cloud stood there. He was just...standing there. They were in a completely white and blank room, his and Ansem. He was in his normal cloths again, his sleeveless turtle-neck and navy blue baggy pants. He was even wearing his black shoes, but he didn't notice. He was a complete black figure, and he couldn't actually see the actual colors of his cloths, nor his skin. He was a heartless, as Ansem called him. He had no heart, well...a small one. He still had one, just it wasn't working right now. He was a complete black figure, with glowing yellow eyes. But he had clear white tears running from his eyes. And they wouldn't stop. They couldn't.

"O, dear Cloud, don't cry," Ansem said in a mocking tone, "They hate you, there's nothing more,"

Cloud didn't move as Ansem came and kissed him, he was unfazed. He just stayed there as Ansem continued to put his hands on his hips. Ansem seemed to be enjoying himself.

"Your friends don't like you anymore," Ansem said, putting his mouth right next to Cloud's ear, "They wish you never were,"

Cloud just stood there, the tears that were forever falling from his face splattering on the ground. He was lost in his own world, and he didn't even know what was going on in the real one. All he could feel in his mind was pain. He could see the hatred on their faces. He knew that his heart was torn up into a million pieces like a difficult jigsaw puzzle. A very hard, and terrorizing jigsaw puzzle.

Cloud felt Ansem pull at him, and Cloud was propelled forward, having Ansem nearly drag him. He saw Ansem stop near a large computer screen, and he pressed something. On the screen made Cloud's heart cry out. It was Leon, Sora, and Riku on a train.

"See, they already left," Ansem said, turning to Cloud and putting his arm around the blonde's waist, "You shouldn't cry, you're better with me,"

Cloud didn't move, and Ansem kissed him again. Ansem's hand was on the back of Cloud's head, running through his now pitch black hair. Cloud just stood there, in his own world.

---

Leon nearly ran off the train and toward the town. A guy on the train had told them the directions to the delivery service, because it was popular.

Leon heard footsteps behind him and knew it was Sora and Riku. That only pushed him to run faster. The delivery place was close, and that made Leon feel hopeful.

He was there within minutes and burst through the door and ran to the counter, where a blonde with weird cropped hair was typing away at a computer. Leon nearly ran up and the man took one ear off of his headphones and looked at him, "Hello, I'm Demyx, how may I be helping you?"

"Is Saix here?" Leon asked, then saw that the man was typing something into it the minute he said it.

"Do you have an appointment?" Demyx asked, then scrolled down.

Leon shook his head, "No, but I really need to see him,"

"I'm sorry, but you may not see Mr. Saix without an appointment," Demyx sighed, then picked up a clipboard and pen, handing them to Leon, "If you write down your name, number, and address on the form here, we'll see to you as soon as possible,"

Leon nearly slammed his hand on the clipboard and looked at the blonde, "please, I need to see him for a second! Only a second!"

"I'm sorry sir, but Mr. Saix is in a meeting." Demyx said, then looked Leon in the eye, "And we'll get back to you as soon as possible if you fill out the necessary requirements,"

Leon groaned, then looked at the door slightly beyond Demyx. He knew it lead to the office of Saix, and he really needed to get there. He caught Demyx's attention and pointed, "Look! A flying vampire rabbit!"

Demyx sprung out of his chair and looked to where Leon was pointing. Leon took off towards the door and through it. Demyx just barely caught this and picked up his phone, pressing a button, "security! We've got a trespasser!"

Leon ran like a bat out of hell and saw that at the end of the hall was a door with the name 'Saix' printed in metal letters on it. He ran faster and burst through it, and immediately knew who Saix was in the whole conference. There were about thirty people, and Saix was standing talking to them all.

"Saix! Please! I need to talk to you!" Leon yelled, walking around all the people sitting at the table. He was suddenly grabbed from behind and he looked to see five tall men in black cloaks. He looked toward Saix and struggled, "Please! I need to talk to you! It's about Ansem!"

The annoyed expression on the man's face changed to one of panic, and he snapped his fingers, "This meeting is adjourned until tomorrow, and let that man go,"

The men looked at Saix with a puzzled look, then let Leon go, mumbling something about not getting paid enough for wild goose chases.

Before Leon knew what was happening, he was alone in the room, with the man that he knew was Saix. He walked up to the man who was sitting at the head of the table, his head in his hand, looking like an overworked old man. He sighed and looked up at Leon, then gestured lazily to the seat nearest to him, "Have a seat, I fear that this is going to need an explanation,"

"No, I just need to know where he is," Leon said, actually sitting and leaning forward, "can you tell me that? All I need to know is where Ansem is!"

Saix sighed, then looked up at Leon with mildly concerned eyes, "Why would a person like you want to know where that man is?"

Leon hesitated for a moment, then dipped his head, "He took something very important to me,"

"Cloud, right?" Saix said, and when Leon's head shot up in surprise, Saix sighed and put his hand back in his palm, "I was fearing I was wrong. When I worked for Ansem, his brother was gloating about having met this angel of a man. Beautiful, smart, funny, and...completely not interested in Solstice. Solstice, being the man that he is, continued to pursue Cloud. But, I presume you know this since Cloud seems to be so close to you,"

Leon nodded, then just stared in wonder.

"Well, you're not going to be able to get where he is by train," Saix said with a long and drawn out sigh, "You'll need my help. This Cloud must be in real trouble, because Ansem's able to control the darkness, if I'm correct. It has been such a long time,"

"Please," Leon leaned forward, his eyes desperate, "Just tell me where he is,"

Saix looked up at Leon, then felt guilty, "He's in the World That Never Was," He stood abruptly and walked toward the door, "We'll leave for there immediately, I'll be coming with you. Come, do you have anyone else with you?"

Leon stood in a stupor for a moment, then nearly ran to the door, "Yes, my brother and Cloud's brother,"

"The more the better," Saix said, then started walking toward the door, "Alright, do they have weapons and do they know how to use them? Do you?"

"Yes," Leon answered truthfully. He, Riku, and Sora had been taught by Cloud how to correctly use their weapons. Cloud even knew how to use the keyblades and gunblade. They practiced with Cloud, and they now knew how to use them quite well.

"Which? Only spare few work on Ansem," Saix said, then stopped abruptly and turned toward a door, bringing out a ring of keys from his pocket and unlocking it. A section in the door slid open directly in Saix's eye level, and a small square popped out. It was completely blue, and Saix leaned toward it. A bright red laser-scanner scanned Saix's eye, then something slid out of just the right of the door handle. Saix pressed some buttons on the pad, then it slid back in, but the thing next to the door didn't close. Saix put his palm flat against it, and there was a bright light.

A Rectal scanner, a code, AND a DNA scanner?

"So much security," Leon mumbled, and Saix opened the door, looking at him.

"I don't want anyone getting in here,"

He walked in the door and right there was...what looked like a door. Just a normal door. But right next to the door was a huge broadsword. (I REALLY can't explain what that broadsword looks like, so...umm...If you've played KH 2, you'll know. Otherwise...imagine a large sword with a star like thing at the end.)

Saix walked up and grabbed the handle of the sword and turned toward Leon, "go grab whoever you need,"

Leon nodded and ran to where Riku and Sora were waiting. Leon reached into his pocket and pulled something out that looked like a small remote. He pressed a button on it and his gunblade materialized in front of him. He grabbed it and started running toward the doors. (AN: the reason I have the gunblade materializing thing, is because I kind a forgot to put in the story that Leon had his sword with him, so he has this special materializer thing. Just like Cloud.)

He saw Sora and Riku waiting, and he saw that they were just standing there, ready to pounce on anything, "come on guys! We gotta go! Grab your keyblades!"

Leon started turning around an running before he even got an answer, then he heard footsteps running behind him. He ran back into the room and saw that Saix was opening the door. Saix turned and looked at them, "good, let's go,"

Leon walked after him and it turned out that the door led right to a flight of stairs running strait down. He saw Saix jogging down them, and he didn't have any hesitation to do so as well.

When he reached the bottom, what he saw nearly made HIM faint. There was...a train! He saw Saix boarding it, and he walked forward, question on his face.

"Private train way," Saix said, then gestured for them to come, "don't ask questions,"

---

Ansem pushed his hands up Cloud's shirt, touching rough abs and a tight stomach. He knew now what Solstice and Sephiroth were after, and he was glad that he had it instead of them. He smirked to himself and continued to kiss Cloud's neck.

"I know what you're doing,"

Ansem stopped and looked back at the computer. It just spoke, didn't it? It couldn't have been Cloud, because the man wasn't speaking, and it was too far away to be Cloud.

"I know what you're doing,"

Ansem growled and let go of the blonde, walking over to the computer and typing something in. He glared at in and then tried talking back, "What?"

"I said, I know what you're doing," It returned, and it sounded angry, "I know you have Cloud,"

At first, Ansem thought for a moment that it might be the souls of his brother's coming back to haunt him, but that couldn't be it.

"I know where you are," the robotic voice echoed again, "I know what you're doing,"

Ansem slammed on the computer, then growled at it, "Who are you!"

"And old acquaintance," it said, then his voice sounded angry again, "I know what you're doing,"

Ansem glared at it again. But the computer didn't speak again. He growled and walked back to Cloud, pushing past him and walking to the door a few feet behind him, "stay here, don't you dare move,"

---

Saix smirked happily to himself and snapped his phone closed. Did Ansem already forget that Saix knew how to hack into his computer and speak through the speakers. All he needed was a computer and a cell phone. And those he had.

Saix smirked again, placing the laptop next to him and phone down as well, "we spooked him, he won't be on his guard anymore,"

Saix sighed to himself, sitting in a train full of people he didn't know just wasn't fun!

Hope the pic works. And thanks for reading this chapter. There might be one more chapter. Or two more chapters. I dunno.
