A/N: This was supposed to be a rainy day one-shot. It has now given birth to two side-stories. I reread the first chapter and decided to add Leon and Cloud's POV to complete this story. I'm pretty sure this is it for this part. I recently reviewed the Sephiroth scenes in Crisis Core, just to remind myself what a pre-Jenova possessed Sephiroth was like. I had THOUGHT I was writing him as too menacing, manipulative, and downright hardcore badass. Holy Yevon! I think I made him too tame. My poor Squally! Originally updated 11/13/08. Revised 2/17/09.

Chapter 2 - Lion's Pride

XXX

Sephiroth was taking Leon for the fifth time that night. He was sitting upright on the bed with Leon positioned on top of his lap.

At this point, Leon's exhausted body was being moved by Sephiroth, up-and-down his erection, like a doll's. Each thrust hitting Leon's already bruised prostate, sending unwanted shocks of pleasure to Leon's rapidly dimming consciousness.

Leon would be thankful, if being unconscious would halt Sephiroth's never-ending sexual advances, but he knew better. "Aah! Nah! Ah! Ah! Ah! Sephiroth! Uh! Please! Ah! Let-Ha! Me-Un! touch! Oh! PLEASE!

Sephiroth granted his mate's wish, in his own way. He lowered one powerful hand to Leon's crying erection and wrung his orgasm out with one brutal twist.

Leon's spasming body almost lifted completely off Sephiroth's penis as he screamed his fulfillment to the whole castle.

Sephiroth swiftly rammed Leon's convulsing hips back onto his erection and, with a low groan, permitted his body to release his collected sperm into Leon's already overflowing bowels.

Leon hunched forward, resting his upper body on his clenching hands, gasping for breath, as his anal muscles milked Sephiroth of everything he had.

Once Leon's body had sucked him dry, Sephiroth slowly lifted Leon's limp body off his penis and laid him on his side. He then petted Leon's body, like one would a frightened kitten, so it would calm to his touch.

"Please. Please I-I need to rest. Just a little while. I'm too full. It hurts. Oh, please. I can't take this anymore." Leon never thought he would ever hear himself beg like he was doing right now. He was Leon, once Squall Leonhart, former SEED Commander, and Leader of the Warriors of Light. At least he was.

Leon covered his face in shame. He was now the chosen Consort of Sephiroth, Supreme Leader of the Forces of Darkness. He rubbed his tearing eyes.

Seifer would have laughed his ass off seeing his predicament; if Sephiroth hadn't stuck him, like a pig on a stick, back in Twilight Town. Poor Seifer didn't even know what he had done wrong. Leon had accidentally spoke of him in his sleep.

Sephiroth had hunted him down and killed him the very next day.

Leon's affections were to be for Sephiroth and their Radiant Garden family alone.

Thank the Gods, Sora had kept Selphie's location secret.

Leon felt Sephiroth's large hand continue it's petting of his back and bruised hip. He sighed and concentrated on relaxing. There was nothing else to be done. Escape was futile. His husband being an enhanced Superhuman with god-like powers.

Leon, at 5'8", had never truly felt small before, even when fighting Seifer.

But when he was taken by his 7' tall husband, he always felt weak and miniscule.

To prove his point of superiority, before Leon was taken for the first time, Sephiroth had given Leon back his Gunblade, brought him down to the Dark Depths, and let him fight Sephiroth alone, with all the techniques and magic that Leon knew.

Sephiroth did not even give Leon the dignity of a semblance of a true fight. All he did was dodge Leon's blows and let the Darkness absorb the thrown magic. To add insult to injury, for the last strike, he actually let Leon stab him completely through the chest.

By then, Leon was crying tears of frustration and rage.

Sephiroth, with Lionheart still embedded completely through his body, laughingly enclosed Leon in an embrace of steel and licked his sweet tears away. He then placed a sobbing Leon slightly away from his body and drew Lionheart out himself.

Leon watched in dismay as the gaping hole in Sephiroth's chest rapidly healed to its previous perfection. He was then brought back to their bedroom, where Sephiroth brutally took Leon's anal virginity and his freedom along with it.

Leon curled into himself, rubbing his lower stomach. If it had only been his anal virginity, he would have chalked it up to extreme bad luck, and found a way to kill himself. But the Darkness, wishing to keep its Leader happy, granted Sephiroth the only other thing he had asked for, after his best friend, Zack, was returned.

Sephiroth wished for a family with Leon.

Seven months ago, the Darkness had made the wish a reality.

Leon, with Sephiroth holding his screaming, fighting body immobile, had felt the Darkness change his body internally to add the female reproductive organs necessary for Sephiroth's future children. The female entrance being formed last.

Six months later, Sephiroth took that virginity as well.

Leon was now one month pregnant with their first child. The head physician, at his last examination, had given them the news that it would be a boy.

Leon possessively covered his stomach. A boy. He'll call him Laguna.

Sephiroth did not care what Leon named their children, just as long as he always kept himself and the baby inside of him healthy. He did not have to worry about that.

Ever since Leon had helped Matron in the Orphanage with the many babies and toddlers, he had always loved babies. But with the life of a mercenary, Leon had decided to live free and single. Well, the Gods had laughed in his face at that decision.

Leon folded his arms completely around his midsection and hummed a little to his baby boy. No. He would never take the easy way out now.

They may now live in a universe ruled by Darkness, but his babies would be raised under his Light. There was nothing Sephiroth could or would do about that.

Once his pregnancy had been confirmed, Leon had explicitly requested Sephiroth, after a sating round of sex, that all the child rearing would be done under his leadership, since he had the most experience.

Sephiroth stared at him with his strange feline eyes for the longest time, and with a slight smile, before slowly nodding his acquiescence. He stated, in his low, commanding voice, that he had already informed Zack and Sora of this, which they were ecstatically grateful for, since they knew nothing about the raising of children.

Leon rewarded Sephiroth by not fighting him when he attempted to take him again and they had sex until the morning sun came up through the castle windows.

Leon allowed himself a little internal smile. He did not know why, but Sephiroth was completely obsessed with him.

Sephiroth ruled the Worlds with an iron hand, but all Leon had to do was just show him a little warmth and affection, and Sephiroth would give him whatever he wanted.

Leon grimaced. He never thought he would have to use his past mercenary training in such a distasteful manner.

But for this baby, and the future ones to come, Leon's pride and dignity was a small price to pay.

If only Leon had not gone down to his favorite spot to train in the Bailey, that one fateful day, just a year or so ago. He would have died along with the other non-chosen Warriors of Light, in the Final Battle of Radiant Garden, but he would have died free.

Unbeknownst to him, Sephiroth, Cloud, and a newly-returned Zack were doing secret reconnaissance for Radiant Garden's weak spots.

Cloud, of course, had a passing acquaintance with Leon before he had turned, for Zack's sake, to the side of the Darkness.

Sephiroth had never seen Leon before, due to the fact, that Leon had been holed up in Ansem's secret Computer Room most of the time, when he had harassed Cloud, in the past.

It was Zack, curious a puppy as ever, who had brought Leon to Sephiroth's attention with one sharp jab to his best friend Sephiroth's side. "Hey, Seph? Sephy-Seph! Getta look at the pretty!"

"Zackary, remember your SOLDIER training. Be still and be silent."

"Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. But Seph! She's so pretty. Oh! She has a little scar between her eyebrows, but it makes her even prettier, I'm thinking! Whatta you think, Seph?"

"Zackary, I have no desire to gawk at weak females while I am on a mission. By the Gods! This always happens with you! Strife! Control your mate while I actually attempt to accomplish what we are here to do."

Zack stuck his lower lip out and kicked the ground. "Seph? Bein' killed a coupla times didn't change you at all. You're still an asshole."

"An asshole I may be, but I will complete this job in spite of your antics. Strife!"

Cloud came up and hugged a moping Zack, who rested his cheek against the top of Cloud's head. "Cloud, Seph's being a stick-in-the-mud jerk!"

"Zack, we knew this already. Time hasn't changed him. Besides, that pretty girl you were referring to? She's a guy."

Zack's forehead crinkled. He straightened up and scratched the back of his head. He disengaged himself from his love's ever-grasping embrace and went back to look at the pretty who was still swinging away with his/her sword. "Shucks, thought she was kinda flat. Got a nice ass, though. Hey, Seph! Look at the pretty man's ass!"

Sephiroth huffed and turned to his best friend. Yes, he reminded himself, his best friend, whom he loved very much. "If I do not wish to look at weak females; what would make you think I would wish to look at a male's behind?"

Zack's confused look once again appeared on his face. "'Cause it's pert and pretty."

Sephiroth's hands clenched into fists. Only Zack could make him lose his composure so. Only Zack. "Fine! If it will halt your incessant jabs, I shall gaze at 'the pretty man's ass.'"

Zack grinned and rewarded his fuming best friend with a glomp; which he speedily shoved himself out of. "Okay! Looky-looky!"

Sephiroth, as gracefully as he could, with a jumping puppy bouncing next to him, turned to the direction Zack was excitedly pointing to and looked. He looked. His head tilted slightly. He moved a trifle forward. He looked some more. He breathed in a little and then sighed. He then folded his arms across his chest, looked down and mumbled into his chest. "Yes, Zackary. I concur. It is very pretty."

Zackary hunkered down so he could see his friend's face. "You've gotta be kiddin' me! Seph, you like him!"

Sephiroth sharply turned his face away from Zack's delighted countenance. "Zackary. Just because I found his posterior pleasing to my eye, it does not mean I like him."

"Naw. I know you, Seph. You love him." Zack moved his head again to get Sephiroth's attention. "Yep. Love at first sight. You're already planning the weddin' and babies too. Right?"

Sephiroth completely turned away from Zack then, presenting him with a stiff back. "Come on, Seph! I can't be the only baby-maker! It'll be lonely, and you know what happens when I get lonely!"

"Yes, Zachary. I and all of Shinra knew what would happen when you got lonely. It was why the Turks never let you near their wing again."

Zack shrugged. "Hey, can I help it if they couldn't take a joke?"

Zack suddenly had an epiphany which had to have been sent by the Darkness. Since his brain, in its natural state, would never have connected A to B. "Hey Cloud! Leon doesn't know ya turned yet. Right?"

Cloud reservedly shook his head no. Bad things always happened to him in the past when Zack got that look in his eye.

"Go down there and spar with him! Show Seph what he's missing; if he don't hook up with the Pretty and make with the babies! Potential superior genetics and all that crap that Hojo used to spout about!"

Cloud sighed and looked over to Sephiroth's stiff back.

If he did this, Cloud knew he was going to damn Leon to a life of absolute submission and constant child-rearing. But Cloud had always liked Leon, he didn't want him to die in the upcoming battle.

Besides, Cloud gazed over at the much-beloved goof he was mated to. Zack was going to need all the help he could get with their babies.

Leon had informed Cloud before about growing up in the Orphanage and helping the Matron with the babies.

Leon, with his natural leadership qualities, would make sure that the children's wing would run smoothly.

Cloud told himself it was for the greater good as he tromped down past his crowing mate and the secretly excited General to a still, oblivious Leon.

"Hey, Leon!"

Leon halted his practice to look at a strangely nervous Cloud. "Long time no see, Strife. Tell me where you crashed back down, so I can get the pothole filled before Cid falls in it again."

They both actually grinned to each other at that memory.

No, Cloud thought to himself. He'd make sure Leon wouldn't die. He would show Sephiroth the best of Leon, so his life would be saved. "Leon. I actually want to spar today. Are you willing?"

Leon's face lit up at the prospect. Cloud never wanted to spar. He thought he would never get the chance.

Sephiroth released a deep breath. Oh, how beautiful their babies will be.

Zack, seeing his best friend's expression, gave a little victory dance behind him.

Leon frowned for a minute and his body shuddered a little. "You feel like we're being watched?"

Cloud quickly shook his head and got into his battle stance to get Leon's attention. "I already checked the surrounding area. There aren't any Heartless around, so we can spar as much as we want."

Leon's happy smile transformed the pretty into breathtaking.

Sephiroth's searching gaze never left Leon's face through the whole sparring session.

If Leon had any chance of escape from Sephiroth before, it was now long gone.

When the Final Battle of Radiant Garden commenced, it was Cloud, himself, who fought and captured Leon.

Sephiroth had become more and more obsessed with the Lion as the weeks before the battle progressed. It took all of Zack's wrangling to keep the General from kidnapping Leon in the night.

Both Zack and Cloud believed Leon had the right to go out fighting.

Sephiroth called them both romantic fools. He informed them that Leon would submit, in any case, and that they were only delaying the inevitable.

Sephiroth informed Cloud that he, and only he, was allowed to fight and touch his future mate. Anyone else would die.

Sephiroth didn't care who's side they were on. It helped that Leon didn't learn of Cloud's betrayal until they actually met across the battlefield.

Cloud felt awful when he saw Leon's crestfallen gaze. He regained his focus though when he reminded himself that he would actually be saving Leon's life with this act.

Cloud hit Leon with his old Limit Break, Cross-Slash, because it would only paralyze him and not kill him outright, as the other Limit Breaks would have.

Leon's paralyzed body fell to the ground. At least it would have, but Sephiroth materialized out of thin air and caught his limp, bloody body in his strong arms.

Leon gazed up into Sephiroth's cat-like eyes and quickly became terrified at the future he saw written in them. "Oh Shiva! Cloud! Kill me! Gods! Gods! Don't let him have me! Please! Let me die! I don't want this! Let me die!"

Sephiroth's head shot up and he snarled at a saddened Cloud.

Cloud didn't move a muscle. He just watched as Sephiroth picked up a still shrieking Leon, gently kissed his forehead, while inhaling his scent, and flew away.

I'm saving his life. Cloud told himself, as he walked in a daze towards the Gummi ship they had stowed Zack on. He's alive. He'll have babies. He always wanted babies. I did the right thing.

Right?

When Cloud came to the Gummi Ship, he looked up to the one he loved. The one whom he had betrayed everything for.

Zack came down from the open hatch and enveloped his now-sobbing Chocobo in his arms.

Sephiroth and Cloud had lied to Zack about almost everything when he had been returned from the Darkness. It was the only way to keep the plan going and ensure that Zack wouldn't be taken away from them again.

When the time came, Cloud would beg Leon's forgiveness. He just hoped that Zack would never find out why.
