Chapter Six

Reunion of the Dark Beings...

"Yohooooooooooooo! Gerara! You up yet?"

Yuffie skipped in the room, smiling like always. She stopped when she saw Gera, sitting up in his boxers, pulling off his bandages.
"Hey! Don't pull those off.... yet....?"

He stopped, seeing all of his wounds completely healed! Gera turned to her, chuckling.

"Gerara? I've never been called THAT before!"

Yuffie just stared in shock... Leon walked in behind her.

"Well, it looks like you healed well. Here."

He tossed a robe at Gera. He stood up and slipped it on... and saw two things that didn't match him...

"IT'S FREAKING PINK!"

Leon chuckled.

"Sorry, it's the only one we have, and Cid is stingy when it comes to his items."

"IT EVEN HAS FLOWERS ON IT!!!"

Yuffie had to place her hands on her knees to stop herself from falling on the ground laughing at the sight of him. Gera sighed, groaning from what he was wearing... and he had to wear it in public!

Leon motioned to him, heading to the door.

"Well, let's go. The sooner we get there, the sooner you can get out of those... such pretty robes..."

Gera hung his head, hating this. He quickly followed Leon out of the Hotel room...

*****************************************************

They walked into the shop in the 1st District. There, behind the counter, was Cid. He was placing a new long tooth pick in his mouth as he turned to them.

"Yo, Leon... who's the Gender Bender?"

Gera's eyes twitched.

"Can I shoot him?"

Yuffie shook her head, smiling wide.

"No, you can't."

"Slice him?"

"No."

Kick him?"

"No."

"Punch him?"

Yuffie giggled, she couldn't help it while Leon placed a hand over his mouth, hiding a smile.

"No, Gera. You cannot hurt him in anyway."

"Damn..."

Cid chuckled, motioning to the clothing area.

"Well, choose from anything here. Be sure to pay!"

Gera shook his head, walking into the clothing area. He searched through the clothing... nothing he saw he liked. And the ones he DID like were either too small or too big!

Of freaking course...

As he continued to search, Yuffie came beside him.

"Sooooooooooooooooo? How's it going?"

Gera held up a nice, completely black shirt... yet it was big enough on him to be a night gown. Yuffie began to laugh.

"Well, then-"

Gera's head turning suddenly made her stop. He heard something... a familiar voice...

"No way..."

He walked past the clothing isle, Yuffie following as quickly as she could. They stopped at the accessory shop... the God of Darkness himself was shopping, the Moogle eyeing him cautiously.

"Hmmm... fake."

Jet placed it back, shaking his head. He turned and saw Yuffie and Gera... a small grin formed on his face, chuckling.

"Hey...Gabbi..."

Yuffie gawked at Jet, her eyes wide.

"Completely black skin... completely white eyes... no pupils... looks like his body is made of darkness... is THIS the God of Darkness you told me about, Jet!?"

Gera nodded, his own eyes wide... he hadn't seen Jet in two years...

"Jet.. you're o.k!"

Jet nodded, picking up another item.

"Yep. I told you, it's not so easy to kill a god... though it's good to see you well, even if you're in-"

"I swear to God, say anything else about this..."

Gera raised a fist at him. Jet chuckled, putting the item back down.

"Well, it's good I found you. I can help you get out of those... clothes, I guess..."

Yuffie tried to hold back her giggles. Jet was NOTHING like she was expecting. Gera sighed.

"Alright... well, I'll really like that."

Jet walked over to him, then clapped his hands. He placed his right hand on Gera's shoulder... the robes changed, along with new clothes forming under them; he now were clothes that were completely black. He had cotton jeans on, and boots that were smilier to the Organization's. The coat was also like the Organization's, but its collar was a bit taller, and it was open with a long chain across the chest, the one that formed there before. Under the coat was a plain black shirt. The last thing were gloves, which fit perfectly on his hands.

He took a look at himself infront of a mirror that was beside them.

"Wow.... thank you, Jet."

Jet nodded, his hands behind his back.

"No thanks needed... those clothes should also hide your powers from... well.... HIM...."

He looked away, remembering how he failed at protecting Gera's home... twice...

Gera closed his eyes, nodding.

"Still... thank you..."

Yuffie looked from Jet,. then to Gera... there was a connection between them... she didn't know what it was, but she could tell...

"Anyway! I'm off. Gotta find that guy and get some payback!"

He gave a smile, snapping his fingers. A dark portal appeared beside them.

"Well... see ya around, Gabbi!"

He dashed into the portal, laughing, just when Gera threw the mirror at him...

He sighed, shaking his head as he watched the portal disappear.

"Well... at least I got some clothes."

He turned to Yuffie, and saw that she was holding back her laughter. He raised an eyebrow, then sighed.

"Go ahead... let it out..."

She just waved her hand, starting to skip over back to Cid on the other side of the store. Gera watched her skip, then followed her.

"Well! Looks like ya got yerself some duds. Hey, wait. I don' remember havin' those-"

Gera fixed his coat, smirking.

"'Cause you never did, Cid."

He turned to Leon and Yuffie.

"Hey... again, thank you both for helping me. I would stay... but I have some personal things to attend to. You know, find Sora and our other friends."

Yuffie was silent, looking at him.

And Mella... man, why are all of the good men are taken...?

She sighed. Gera tilted his head at her, but she just waved at him a bit.

"Well, alright. You be safe, alright? Aerith and I don't want to see you in bandages again in a LONG time!"

He chuckled, crossing his arms.

"Yeah, let's hope for that."

Leon took this chance to reach in to his pocket, and held out something to him.

"Here... I found this a few years ago. I was planning on selling it for some munny for potions, but I think it will be better in your hands."

Gera had a confused look on his face, but accepted the item... it was a trinket with a chain attached to the top of it. It had two angel wings attached to a circle, which had a cross on it. The left wing was pure white while the right was completely black. He looked at it, the nodded.

"Thank you, Leon..."

He placed it in his pocket, thinking that it would make a very good good-luck charm. He looked up toward Leon, Yuffie, and Cid.

"Thank you all... I... I want to stay here for another day, then head out to look for Sora myself. I think that it would be best if two Keyblade wielders teamed up. While, today, I want to search the Town myself. Knowing Sora, he probably missed a few things while he was here."

He chuckled, remembering the knot which Sora made for the raft. Leon closed his eyes, then spoke.

"That would be best. The Heartless are always active."

"Oh! About the Heartless..."

Gera scratched the back of his head awkwardly.

"Do you mind if we talked about them when I get back? I haven't gotten any real facts about them yet."

Leon nodded again. Gera uncrossed his arms.

"Well... see ya later!"

With that, he dashed out of the door, bent his legs, and flew straight into the air. All three of them stared in shock. Yuffie stuttered out a few words...

"H-h-he can fly!?"

Gera closed his eyes, letting the wind go through his hair as he slowly flew toward the 2nd District.

"Are you sure that was a wise idea, telling that girl everything?"

He opened his eyes. He was now used to the Voice suddenly talking.

"Yeah, I'm sure..."

"But... why? You have never told anyone the full story before, not even Sora, Riku, and Kairi."

He chuckled, tilting his body to the left, heading toward the square in the middle of the District.

"Because... something about that girl... something about her I really trust."

He landed on his feet. He looked around, and sensed no Heartless around.

"Did... did Sora clear this place out?

As if it was a responce, he heard a scream... he turned around and had something fall ontop of him, knocking him down on his back.

"Wh-wha!?"

He looked down... and saw that it was Yuffie!

"Y-Yuffie! What are you doing here!?"

"W-well..."

She poked her fingers together nervously, blushing, not getting off him.

"I... just wanted to help..."

Gera blushed a bit, looking down at her.

"Umm... thanks... now, could you get off of me, please? I can't get up unless you do..."

"Oh!"

She got off him quickly, blushing a bit more. He stood up, dusting himself off.

"Well, let's go. I perfer to search the Town before the Heartless appear... c'mon."

He motion to her, starting to walk down the square, Yuffie skipping again to catch up. He then stopped when he was close to the bell tower. He started to shake... Yuffie bent over and looked up at him.

"Gerara? Are you o.k?"

Gera slowly looked up, gulping... up where the bell was kept was none other then Talon, sitting off the edge with his legs crossed. He looked down apon them both, his face having a huge smile on it... almost demonic... full of blood lust in it....
