One more after this. I hope it's still enjoyable.
Please review.
Kadaj walked determinedly ahead of his brothers. Since he seemed to know where he wanted to go, the other two simply followed him. Of course, they usually did just trail after him.
Sephiroth, Riku and Sora kept themselves back a bit. It was way too much to hope that no one would realize they were with the other three. The physical resemblance was waay too strong. At least Sora could deny any relation.
"Hey, Seph?"
The man grimaced. "I have told you repeatedly to refrain from calling me that. Next time, I will make sure you do not forget."
"Ok." Sora clearly wasn't threatened. "So, when Kadaj, Yazoo, and Loz were made, why were they made so… childish?"
"I do not know." He sighed. "I admit they were not one of my brighter ideas. Had I known Riku existed, they would not."
"Thanks, I think." Riku flicked his eyes toward Sephiroth. "Though you would have probably found me rather uncooperative."
"You think?" Sephiroth sounded mildly amused. "Xehanort found you rather easy to manipulate and you weren't even related."
The glare Riku shot at him made Sora cringe. Before he could lash out and likely cause a scene, Sora grabbed his arm. "We probably shouldn't let them get too far ahead."
The pair jogged ahead, now between the triplets and their creator. Riku was muttering darkly. "Stupid bastard. I really hate him."
"Then why do you keep visiting?"
"I don't know. Compulsion I guess." Riku glanced over his shoulder. Sephiroth was calmly walking behind them looking like the commanding presence he truly was. "He really isn't that bad."
"Yeah." Sora had to reluctantly agree. After nearly being killed by the man twice, he still couldn't believe he was now… well, spending time with the guy.
"Here's where the fun begins." Riku watched ahead.
Kadaj had marched up to the door of a small house and in a show of manners, rapped politely on it. The other two had fanned out to flank him. They waited patiently.
The door opened, revealing a medium build, blonde man who upon seeing his visitors tried slamming the door. Kadaj held out a hand and prevented the door from closing. "Hello, Big Brother."
"What do you want?" Cloud folded his arms in irritation.
"Where's Mother?" Loz asked.
"Oh for the love of Shiva we're not doing this again."
"We know Mother is here." Yazoo practically whispered.
Cloud looked out and saw Riku and Sora. He narrowed his eyes at them. "Why are they here?"
"Uh, hi, Cloud." Sora waved a little.
"Hello, Cloud." Sephiroth's deep, smooth voice came from behind him.
The blonde stared at Sephiroth for a long moment. "I thought we declared a truce."
"We did." Sephiroth lightly smiled. "I'm simply taking the boys out to play."
Cloud was about to retort angrily when a crashing sound was heard from inside the house. He took a step back, eyes fixed on Sephiroth. "So help me if that was something of Leon's…"
Loz suddenly reappeared in the doorway. "She's not here."
"Then you aren't looking hard enough." Sephiroth explained.
"Sephiroth." Cloud spoke with an edge in his voice.
"Perhaps the three of you should look outside."
"Okay." Loz turned. "Brother says to look outside."
Another crunching noise.
Cloud's shoulders slumped. "Why me?"
