Kingdom Hearts

A Sorceress

"So where to now Sora?" questioned Goofy as he and Donald took their seats in the gummi ship the trio had just finished helping Hercules in Olympus. Up front the young man knows as Sora with his arms crossed, a look of concentration decorating his face seemly unaware of his dog like friend speaking to him. With a sigh, Donald spoke out, his voice raising in octave.

"Sora!" the shout seemed to work as the boy visibly jumped in his seat his arms failing out and eyes snapping open after a moment, he seems to realize his situation and a sheepish smile cover his voice as his hand found the back of his scalp and began rubbing.

"Sorry guys I was lost in thought what's up?' his tone was noticeably quieter than either of his companion were used to however neither wishing to press the matter on Donald gestured to Goofy to pick up. "I was just wondering where we were headed next got any ideas" the young boy's head shook as his hands found the controls to their ship. "Not a clue but you know what Master Yin Sid said" immediately goofy reply came in his usual form of is unique laugh as he answered Sora question "Let Your Heart Be your guiding key" the reply seemed to cheer the young boy up slightly as he shot forth slamming the ship control forward a big smile took form on his face. "Right So let's Go!'' Sora declaration send forth a chorus of cheers throughout the cockpit as the trio launched forward, their ship diving straight into the newest gate that opened before them.

Radiant Garden

Squall "Leon" Leonhart was in a word frustrated between the reconstructions and governing issues that kept cropping up: he barely had a moment to himself, much less time for dates. Yet the one before insisted that he could take a day off to relax. He found it laughable that she thought it was that easy to break away from everything.

"Yuffie How many times do I have to tell you I do not have time for a date."

Without, a word the young girl matched up him slamming her small hands on to the desk scattering papers and sending him the best glare should muster to little effect the girls small frame and puffed cheek were as from as intimidating as one could get in the man opinion. Prompting him to smirk at her as his eyes locked with her and a small stare down began. Outmatched it was not long before Yuffie broke a loud humph filling the silent.

"Fine, then if you won't listen to me, I guess I will have to get her instead" without another word the young ninja turned and began her trek away from the scarred man. Taking a few moments to enjoy his victory, Leon turned his attention back to the papers before him. A few moments passed as the man went over the conversation the two of them just had stopping at the abrupt end where Yuffie mentions her. Moment later the man mind finally connected the dots and his long legs shot out as he quickly left his desk behind his mind racing as he darted down the hall of the old castle.

Arriving at the courtyard, the man's eyes continued to dart around looking for any sign of the ninja whereabouts. However, his search was quickly interrupted as a bright light crossed the sky above reflecting the light back at him forcing him to cover his eyes as it drew closer and closer forcing him to completely block out his sight as he turned away.

Crash!

The loud noise ranged throughout the courtyard as Leon found to recover his sight. A familiar voice reached his ears as the sound of rustling bodies accompanied it.

"Looks like when landed guys" finally regaining his sight Leon turned to the sourced seeing the familiar design of the highwind its colorful features striking quite a contrast between the olden gray of the courtyard. Stepping out was none other than the young man who had to help him quite a lot. Letting a small smile crossed his face, Leon made his way over to the poorly parked ship as the familiar group of three stepped out.

"Sora What brings you here" his question immediately caught the attention of the trio as all three jumped in surprised as Sora quickly jogged up to him. "Leon!"

…..

After sharing greeting with his old friend, the trio of world travelers followed the scarred man into the way from the castle, taking some time to catch up and question him on how his restoration had been going. The group made their way out and down towards the town, taking in some familiar sights and greeting those they passed. Sora remarked as the three stopped at the old fountain.

"This place sure has grown even more than when we were last here there are more people and the atmosphere has changed you guys really worked hard Leon," taking his usual stance against the wall Leon replied to Sora remark.

"Yeah, well, it wasn't easy, but we did it so what are you doing her anyway Sora shouldn't you be out traveling or getting stronger. "sheepishly Sora hand scratched the back of his head as he offered Leon a small. "That's sort of why you were here to see some things happened and now the three of us are traveling to get our strength back and the gummi ship brough us here". At Sora's explanation, Leon raised an eyebrow, not sure what was going on. Pushing himself off the wall, he made his way closer to Sora before gently clamping his hand on his shoulder. "Not sure what's going on but if you need a hand, just let me know after all I still owe you one." Immediately Sora mood seemed to brighter as the younger male excitedly thanked the older man. "Really Thanks Leon, you're the best". At the compliment Leon quickly retracted his hand not sure how to handle him yet however any further conversation was quickly broken as a voice interrupted the group.

"Squall!' as the voice filled the air Leon demeanor completely changed quickly jumped away from Sora his head snapped forward to look at the source their standing at the top of the stairs was a young woman maybe a year younger than Leon her black hair flowing behind her with her brown eyes staring at him in a fury. As the girl in a blue duster caught the wind and her hands found her hips. Besides him, he heard Sora's voice filled with confusion, "Squall? Who's that?" the boy glanced at Donald and Goofy hoping they might have an answer however both shared his confusion. Hesitantly Leon addressed the women, his voice a bit shaken at her sudden appearance.

"Rinoa…" ignoring his attempt at speech the female began marching forward quickly coming to a stop and planting herself right in the man's front, her finger darting out to jab his chest.

"Don't Rinoa me what's this Yuffie told me about you not being able to make our date tonight huh" with every word they left her mouth Rinoa finger further pressed into the man chase her eyes staring furiously into his thou if one look closely they could see a hint of sadness in them. Squall inwardly cursed the ninja name as he continued to start into the women's eyes as she pressed herself against him. Moments passed as the man kept silent, his eyes never leaving the women's until her voice spoke out again.

"Well Squall?" she asked with a pointed glare that caused Leon to cringe as he gently pushed her away to holding her at arm's length as he awkwardly spoke. "Rinoa… It's a misunderstanding Yuffie wanted to plan a date for us and well its Yuffie so there no way I was letting her plan anything so." At his explanation Rinoa feature relaxed ever so slightly and her glare softened, "Is that true? So, we are still going to the festively then?" immediately Leon nodded, "We are it was a promise, right?" At his response Rinoa completely relaxes and a moment later she threw her arms around the man who awkwardly returned the embrace. However, the moment did not last long as Sora finally spoke up from behind them.

"Leon What is Going on. Whose is this?"

Removing himself from Rinoa Leon turned around to address them the three of them wearing varying expressions of confusion. Taking a step forward, the girl's hands found her hips as an annoyed frown crossed her face before her voice blared out.

"His name is Squall, and I am his fiancé Rinoa Heartilly nice to meet you."

At her declaration, a loud series of cries filled the courtyard.

"What!"

….

Sora an aspiring keyblade welder and protector of the light was flabbergasted unable to believe his ears Leon moody and antisocial was engaged and to this girl no less it was unbelievable it not something he ever would have expected to learn upon his travel across the worlds stuck in shock and having a hard time processing this the young man could not stop himself as he tried to address the source of this confusion.

"Leon is that true."

His question was meant with the usual silence from his stoic friend however the moment his eyes tried to meet his friend the man looked away never not daring to respond but the brunette could not help the but notice the sight of the gunblade welder flushed cheeks. That was all Sora needed to see as his voiced recovery and before he even noticed the young man began shouting.

"HOLY COW! IT'S TRUE!"

Sora shouted echoed across the area drawing the attention of every merchant around, all of them taking a moment to observe the commotion as passerby's stopped and also tried to discover the source of what was going on. Sora's voice continuing to rise as he turned to address his two companions who were in similar states.

"Donald Goofy Leon getting married, we got to tell everyone!"

His voice reached the ears of everyone around and not a moment later murmurs arose, all talking about the latest bit of gossip they just learned. Squall for his part was growing increases aggravated as the keyblade welder continued shout drawing even more attention to their little group. With flushed cheeks the silent man marched over to the loud-mouthed boy swooping him up in a not so gentle headlock clamped his hand around his mouth and horridly pulled him along towards the steps. As he issued one command to the group.

"Were leaving come on "

Unable to argue the first followed as the embarrass man drag Sora away Donald and Goofy taking obvious care to stifle themselves else, they receive the same treatment their excited friend was receiving as he continued his muffled babbles all the while the lone women seemed to try her absolute best to resist breaking down in laughter as she watched her soon to be husband awkwardly drag the boy away.
