Chapter 5 – Radiant Garden

Sora placed the Highwind down in the bailey backway where none of Cid's computers could catch him cause he wanted to surprise all of them. He and the others got out and started walking to Merlin's house when Sora stopped and saw a cloud forming above the old castle. 'That does not look good.' he thought as he ran after the others. 'That is not good at all.'

Leon and Cloud were currently trying hard not to strangle Yuffie and Tifa. "Squall how come you and Cloud are on the computer when we have Tron doing everything?" Yuffie whined.

"It's Leon."

"Squall, You and Strife are boring...Come on Yuffie let's go and see what Vincent is doing."

"It's Leon/Cloud!"

Leon rubbed his temples in annoyance as Yuffie kept bouncing around saying "Squall! Squall! Squall!"

"Yuffie please go with Tifa while we try to save this data for Sora." Leon said.

"SORA!"

Leon groaned. "Yes Yuffie, Sora." he mumbled. He suddenly felt small arms wrap around his waist and heard a soft chuckle from the blonde next to him.

"SORA!" Yuffie said again smiling. Leon glanced down at the hands and saw black and gold fingerless gloves clasped together. The hands released him and he turned around. There stood Sora with his goofy grin. Behind him were three boys one with a shade light of brown hair, one with red and one with silver.

"Hey Leon, Tifa, Yuffie and Cloud. Meet my friends this is Roxas,Axel and Riku." Sora said.

"Sora still in top form." Yuffie said hugging Sora tight. When she released him he placed his hands behind his head.

"Of course. Did you expect less of me?" Sora asked. Roxas stood next to him and Yuffie gasped.

"Sora you and Roxas could be twins!" she said.

"Well of course he is my nobody." Sora said.

Leon frowned. "As in a heartless Sora?" he asked. Sora looked at Roxas and Axel.

"Not exactly Leon. Roxas and Axel were part of Organizaqtion XIII but Axel helped me out and Roxas sort of faded back into me. I was turned into a heartless for Roxas to appear." he said. Leon and Cloud looked at Sora wide eyed (at least wide-eyed for them).

"How did the Keyblade master turn into a heartless?" Leon asked. Sora shyly looked over at Riku, who glanced down and clentched his fists together.

"I turned myself into a heartless with the reverse keyblade to save Kairi and the others. Riku saw it all happen." He said.

"No, Sora...I made you turn yourself into a heartless or at least Ansem did. I didn't just watch." Riku said.

"Riku." Sora said softly.

"It's true Sora. I let Ansem control me and put you and Kairi in danger which caused you to...nevermind." he said as he walked out.

"No one can be turned into a heartless unless there is darkness in their heart. Even the keyblade master has darkness." Roxas said as his eyes followed Riku out the door.

"I'll go get him Sora." Axel said as he left through the door. Sora sighed and turned back to face Leon and Cloud.

"So Sora what brings you out here?" Cloud asked. Sora looked over at him.

"Um... well the King has been getting signals that heartless have appeared around here lately and well...I noticed when we left the bailey there was this dark cloud forming around the castle. " Sora said. Leon turned back to the computer monitor and saw that some of the security system database had disappeared causing breaches around the castle.

"Well it seems we will be getting some action after all Cloud." Leon said.

"I'll go get Axel and Riku." Sora said as he ran out the door. Roxas watched as Sora disappeared out the door.

"So your Sora's nobody huh?" Cloud asked. Roxas turned back to face Leon and Cloud. He nodded.

"We're not all like him Cloud." Roxas said.

"Oh, Then how come Sora's eyes sort of lost their spark...I can tell that his smile is somewhat forced." Cloud said. Roxas sighed.

"It's because he believes he no longer belongs on Destiny Islands. When he and Riku returned to the islands nothing was the same. Sora's mom never returned and well Sora feels like...its no longer home. Riku is the same way." Roxas said.

" Where does he feel like he belongs?" Leon asked.

"I may a connection to his heart but even that I'm not sure." Roxas said shaking his head.

Leon and Cloud were thinking the same thing. Is this what is to become of the Keyblade Master. To feel like they no longer belonged in their home world. To have their heart connected to everyone else and yet feel so alone. Leon took Cloud's hand and squeezed. Cloud glanced over at Leon and nodded. Roxas saw the small exchange.

"So you two are together?" He asked. Leon glared and Cloud crossed his arms. "Hey it doesn't matter to me or Sora. I just...Good for you." he added as he walked out and waited for Sora to get closer to him with Axel and a somewhat relaxed Riku.

"We'll ask them later when this battle is over." Cloud said. Leon nodded.

"You do realize Roxas is going to stay to." he said. Cloud shrugged and looked at Leon.

"As long as he doesn't act like HIM I don't care. Sora helped me. It's the least I can do." Cloud said before walking out the door and stood behind Sora.

Leon sighed and walked out to. 'We have to save our home first before we ask them to stay. A place for Sora and Riku to...'he thought then stopped.

'Belong'
