Chapter 8

The wheel keeps turning

Roxas and Axel in China

"Alight!" Axel shouted cutting down a Nightwalker with a toss of his chakrams. Roxas did a dash and quick slash throw all the Raiders charging at him. The Raiders stopped as soon as the blur of black and white passed them. As Roxas stood form his crouching position the Heartless burst black blood as it faded. 1

"Alright let's move" Axel walking into the cave as Roxas ran next to him.

Lust in the mountain cave

Lust walked to the scroll that Redd had showed her inside of her mirror. A group of Neo Shadows stood at her side. "Go and strengthen the guard." Lust said to the Neo Shadows. Bowing they crawled into the shadows.

Lust reached out to the scroll. When her fingers grazed against the paper she was encased in a gray sphere. "What the?" Lust said staring at the shadow before her. Why do you need my blade? The Aeon asked starring at Lust.

"To help me rule the universe" Lust said starring at the Aeon. The scepter appeared in her hands and she hurled the weapon at the Aeon.

Yojimbo unsheathed his sword and slashed the oncoming weapon in half. "You are supposed to be bound" Lust said glaring at Yojimbo as he stood. A dog came to stand at his side.

Prove your strength to me and defeat me in battle. Only then will I lend you my blade. Yojimbo stood still as a statue. The gray sphere that once covered them dissipated in to the air. "Fine, I could use a good fight." Lust extended her nails. Daigoro jump at lust as she came at Yojimbo in a blur. Lust twisted around as Daigoro was about to bite her head off and sent him flying behind her, along with a few slashes from her nail.

Yojimbo stood as if nothing had happened to his pet. Lust smiled wickedly as she was about to stab the Aeon through the chest. Yojimbo moved to the left then right then ducked. He avoided everyone of Lust attempts to attack his form.

Lust snarled from anger, that Yojimbo had not even moved his blade. The Aeon raised two fingers in front of his face as Lust momentarily stopped her assault. Yojimbo moved the hand that was at his face into his kimono and with drew with three knives. Before Lust could stop the knives, they were already in her forehead and chest.

You have proven to be weak and do not deserve my blade. Yojimbo started to walk away to the entrance with Daigoro beside him, but stopped when he heard Lust stand. I am so glad that this will be an interesting fight, Yojimbo said turning.

"I promise that this will be a quick fight and you will be under her majesties control," Lust said as her body pushed the knives out of her.

"Now where were we" Lust said extending her nails once more. 1

Axel and Roxas at cave entrance

"DIE ALREADY!" Axel shouted throwing his chakrams at the last Neo Shadow's neck. "Come!" Roxas called out to Axel from the now cleared path.

As the pair entered the cave they saw Lust slashing and meeting every one of Yojimbo's swords strokes.

"Ready?" Roxas asked Keyblades in hand and Axel with his Chakrams. "Yup"

Lust and Yojimbo were too engulfed in their battle to see Axel and Roxas charge in. We have some more guests Yojimbo said turning to face Axel and Roxas.

"You get Yojimbo and I'll get Lust" Axel Whispered to Roxas. "Right" Roxas dashed in a blur, speeding past Lust and to Yojimbo. Lust thought Roxas was coming for her and turned when she felt him pass her. Then turned to see Axel's Chakrams coming for her head. Lust moved to the side to just have the blade graze her neck. "Hm? So I get to have you uh?" Lust said starring at Axel with dull interest.

"I guess so" Axel said calling his Chakram back with his heart. Lust charged at Axel, her finger nails extended into claws and slashed at him. If Axel hadn't had great speed he would be minus a head. Axel stabbed at Lust with his Chakram, but she jumped and landed behind him. Lust hit Axel in the back of the head has soon has she landed knocking him off balance. Axel took the opportunity and stabbed Lust through the 'heart' as he faked being pushed over.

"You think that's all it takes to kill me?" Lust said has Axel removed the circular blade from her chest. "Nope but I just wanted to take a look at that stone you call a 'heart'" Axel said looking at the wound he had made and watched the stone beat a red glow and the skin close. 'How the hell does he know' Lust thought jumping back.

"I saw Loz die and watched as that 'heart' was destroyed" Axel said in a matter of fact tone. Lust just narrowed her eyes and sent her nails at his chest. Axel moved his Chakram to stop the nails before they could impale him, Lust used her other hand to send a part of her deadly nails flying at Axels head.

The ex-member of organization 13 was use to fighting Larxene when she would pin him down and send sharp objects to his head. Axel blew out a fire spell melting the nails, he used the remaining fire to melt Lust's nails that were pinning him down. Lust pulled away before the fire could reach her body.

"Don't like fire hun?" Axel said torching his Chakrams again. "Don't forget little boy that when you play with fire you get HURT!" Lust said running under one of Axel's Chakrams as it zoomed for her neck.

Lust arrived at Axel's unguarded chest and slashed up his chest with a wicked smile as blood poured onto her nails. Axel was about to send the other Chakram but stopped when he used his mind to move the other one right behind Lust.

The thrown Chakram blazed on fire again and whirled to Lust's back as Axel sent the other chakram at the same time.

Lust stopped the Chakram in front of her, catching it between her pointer and middle nails. Axel thought he had her until her hear the sound of metal and nail. Lust had moved her hand to stop the one behind her back in the same way.

"Try harder boy" Lust said smirking at the surprised look on Axel's face. Axel then got serious and smile wickedly. "Have it your way" Axel said snapping his fingers. The chakrams became to in take fire and the burst a wave of fire burning Lust to a crispy corpse.

Roxas was to busy fighting Yojimbo to notice what Axel was doing. Yojimbo sent his knives at Roxas, just to have them sent to the wall with a spin of Oblivion. You are strong and worthy Yojimbo said running towards Roxas. Roxas was able to stop most of Yojimbo's high speed cuts but was forced back as the last blow was too strong.

Roxas healed himself and sent Oblivion spinning, Yojimbo slashed the Keyblade away embedding it in the cave wall. Roxas took Yojimbo's moment of lowered defense to rush at the Aeons chest when Daigoro ran his body into his, sending him to the wall where Oblivion was imbedded.

"You cheat" Roxas said standing with both keyblades in hand now. I will do what ever it takes to win. This is why many want me as their guard. Yojimbo said looking at Roxas with those blue eyes. Roxas ran forward again but was ready for Daigoro and did a spin as the animal tried to body slam him again.

He sent the animal to the wall where he was and dashed to Yojimbo. Yojimbo slashed his blade diagonally sending a wave of quick slashes and cut at Roxas. Roxas used a reflect spell and continued without stopping. He ran under Yojimbo's sword swing and ran his Keyblades at the side of Yojimbo's neck.

You have proven worthy to have my blade but not my loyalty. Yojimbo said as Roxas lowered his weapon. Roxas was about to ask before Yojimbo stopped him. Release your weapons. You must trust me t in order for me to trust you. Yojimbo said pointing two of his fingers in front of his face. A black hole opened at Yojimbo's feet a, long sword flew out of the hole

Axel was able to keep burning Lust to a crisp corpse until he stopped to look at Roxas and Yojimbo. Yojimbo had a long sword in his a hand and ready to attack when Roxas kneeled down. Lust healed her body and called the scepter that Redd had given her.

"By order of the Queen!" Lust shouted throwing the scepter at Yojimbo. Before the Aeon could move Daigoro ran in front of it and catched the scepter and shattered it with his teeth.

Lust used all her nails and impaled Axel in the chest and stomach. Pulling out of Axel she shadow shifted knowing that she was to late to get Yojimbo as he cut Roxas across the chest.

Roxas felt the sword cut him in two then he felt the warm spring breeze. "Wha?" Roxas said looking at the Aeon. You have my loyalty. Yojimbo said returning to a scroll and floating to Roxas.

Axel had healed himself with a potion and walked over to Roxas. "So we have him?" Axel asked as he walked to Roxas. "Yup!" Roxas cheered. "Okay where to next?" Axel asked as they headed to the gummi ship. "We have to see how the others are then we'll start from there." Roxas said as he sent a message to Sora and the others.

Riku and Sora in Atlantic

Riku hated to see how so many of Sora's 'friends' depended on him like he was the only one who could and they would just sit and have him do all the hard work. It made him sick.

Granted some of his friends were strong and smart enough to take things in their own hands and help him. Any way, Riku had the end of a shark in this fish world, and Sora had a sexy dolphin ass. 'Salmon sounds real good or maybe crab' Riku thought eyeing Sebastian as he and Ariel were talking with Sora about the Heartless problem.

Sora turned his head to ask Riku if he thought there plan to get into the cave with all the Heartless guards would work. He stopped after saying his husbands name seeing the distant look in his eyes. Then the others were all looking at him.

"Riku?" Sora asked swimming over to him. He took Riku's hand and gave it a little squeeze. "Hmm…what?" The silver haired man looked at every one looking at him. "What?" Riku asked again irritated. Sora just smiled and gave a little giggle

"Are you alright and did you think are plan for getting in the cave would work." Sora said looking at Riku with a small smile. "I think it will work" Riku leaned over to kiss Sora's ear.

"I was just thinking how hard it must be to hide an erection down here" Riku whispered before giving it a lick and pulling back, making Sora blush crimson. "I'm fine now" Riku said smiling at everyone as if nothing had happened.

"Le-Lets get moving." Sora said recovering his pride. Ariel looked at Sora with a knowing smile and gave a small giggle, while Donald slapped his forehead and Goofy tried to stop laughing, Flounder and Sebastian just looked confused.

The Underwater Cave

'Mistress the key and half-breed are coming' a Screwdiver Heartless said to a woman in her black strapped dress and gloves. Sloth smiled and looked up to the entrance.

"Good, send some Aquatanks in first and then the Seaneos to hold them off for as long as possible. When the Seaneos fall inform me at once. " Sloth said in her strict voice. Sending the Heartless on it's merry way, she turned to look at the crystal shard from the trident that was the key to showing the keyhole, destroyed yes, but reconstructed.

"Now come out and play Shiva"

Sora and Riku plus others

"Okay here they come" Sora shouted summoning the keyblade. Riku did the same as the Aquatanks came charging full speed. Sora twirled and easily cut through the Heartless. Riku fired a set of dark firagas at the other Aquatanks before they even reached them.

Ariel and the others were able to take care of the Seaneos that were coming underneath Riku and Sora. Unknown to Riku a Screwdiver was waiting for him.

The Heartless jumped out behind Riku and hurled it's harpoon as hard as it could. The spear was moving at blur Riku turned to just see the weapon before it cut a deep wound in his arm. The Screwdiver was close behind and slashed at Riku who was momentarily caught of guard.

Riku was able to stop the worst of the assault and cut the Heartless' head off. Sora turned just in time to see the Heartless get beheaded, he saw the blood and moved at a blur to Riku's side. "Cure" Sora half shouted as he reached Riku.

The torn skin was sewn together as the green light covered him. "Idiot save your magic" Riku said in his usual 'angry' voice when Sora would stop everything for him. Sora just smiled knowing that it was a small thank you.

"Come on we have to move now" Sora said racing up ahead, Riku close behind.

Sloth

A spear made of ice came zooming at her. Sloth liquefied her body before she was impaled on the burning ice. You are made of water and I am ice. This will be fun. Shiva said to sloth sending a blizzard spell at her.

Sloth moved out of the combustion of air and ice where she once stood. "You know I can easily cut through all over your ice with a single stroke." Sloth said as Shiva sent another spear of ice at her. Sloth turned her arm to water and slashed the spear down the middle.

Shiva raised her hand to the side of her face and sent in down in a fluid motion. Sloth was to in gulfed in the question of what Shiva was to doing to see a large block of ice and drop. The Nobody noticed the ice at the last minute, and was crushed under it. There was a bone crushing sound as the ice fell.

'Blood' poured out of the ice. Shiva was not fooled by the thought that Sloth was dead. Shiva waited as the ice block was cut down and Sloth reformed herself. Would you mind working a little hard to get yourself together, Shiva said in a dull voice. Sloth sneered and sent her tentacles at Shiva who only stood still as the water tentacles neared. Shiva inhaled and then exhaled a cold wind freezing the tentacles before they could stab her. She placed her two fingers to her lips as Sloth detached herself form the frozen tentacles.

Shiva spun around and sent a wave of ice and wind at Sloth freezing her body instantly. Shiva ran her hands over her body to stop above her head. A white light bloomed at the pale of her hand. She sent the beam of light over the ice, making it grow and attack the frozen body of Sloth as they sharpened and impaled the body.

When the light died Shiva raised her hand to the iced Sloth before her. She snapped her fingers and the ice and Sloth shattered, leaving a red heart shaped stone. Shiva looked at the 'heart' with wonder. It pulsated a red wave of energy and the ice that was once Sloth melted and reformed her body.

"Is that all you got" Sloth said as if nothing had even happened to her. Just getting cooled down. Shiva said moving her arms and body to an invisible melody that only she could hear.

Sora and Riku plus others

Sora swam up to the cave entrance to see that the water was frozen on the outside. "Donald, we need to change back to our normal selves as soon as we enter and back when Shiva is pure." Sora said to the duck octopus. "Right" Donald said readying Save the Queen to cast his spell. "Aerial stay out here and let us take care of things" Sora said staring at his friend. She nodded not objecting.

Sora and Riku swam through the light sheet of ice first.

Sloth fighting Shiva

Shiva sent spears of ice with each foot movement, ice spheres each time she moved her hand. Sloth cut every spear she could, she made a water wall for each Ice sphere knowing that when they touched her they would spread freezing the water.

Shiva keep dancing, moving her body to that invisible music. As Sloth moved passed all her attacks by liquefying her enter body she made an ice swords. Shiva slashed and kicked sending Sloth seething with pain each time the ice touched her skin that was not water.

The pair stopped when they felt others. Shiva jumped back with grace and beauty as she looked a Sora and Riku fallowed by Donald and Goofy. I seem to very popular today. Shiva said continuing her dance.

"Donald, Goofy take care of Sloth with me" Riku said running at woman. Sora heard music as he ran at Shiva. 'A sitar, a darbuka and a flute 2.' Sora thought trying to name all the instruments he heard.

Sora notice the ice in the cave was shining at the beats. Shiva sent her spear and spheres at Sora she danced to the sound that only she and a heart of light could hear. Sora was able to cut all the ice out of his was. Shiva then moved her body to that of a plant swaying to the wind.

The ice started to fall from the air and tiny ice needles came from the walls. Sora was able to melt all the on coming attacks with a fire spell. Shiva changed the music with a kiss to her finger tips.

Sloth knocked out Donald and Goofy first knowing that they are good assets to her opponent. Riku moved at blinding speed and stabbed Sloth in the back. Sloth was able to liquefy her body stopping any damage.

Riku did lighting spell when Sloth had a portion of her body liquefied. The electricity stabbed Sloth as if every fiber was being stabbed with every knife made. Sloth melted into a puddle Riku was waiting though for the attack.

Sloth sent a water wave at him catching him off guard. Sloth reformed the upper half over her body only. She sent two tentacles out of her puddle and held Riku's arm down. She used her arms to encase his head in water trying to drown him.

Sora knew that stopping her attacks would not help him. As Shiva came closer with her ice swords in hand she started to dance to the fast music that she had made for herself and tried knocking Sora's defenses down while still dropping ice on him from all sides. Sora started to listen to the sound of the music and started to dance to it.

He closed his eyes and just moved to it. Shiva saw this and continued her dance to see if he really was hearing the music. Sora's heart moved his body to the tune and felt the ice move past him. When his heart told him to attack he moved to attack as the song ended. When he opened his eyes he saw Ultima at Shiva's heart ready to attack.

I will help you. Shiva said to Sora with a smile on her blue lips. "But how? And why I didn't even say anything." Sora said to the Aeon. I can read your heart when you danced, only hearts of light could hear that music. She said with that smile. "Thank you" Sora said and turned to see Riku in Sloth's water drowning.

"Riku!" Sora shouted. Shiva sent an ice spear at the solid part of Sloth's body. Sloth was to busy to notice the spear, when the ice hit her she let out a scream of pain and lost her focus and Riku jumped back as her body changed to ice. Riku did a heal spell on Donald and Goofy.

"Thank you" Sora said turning to Shiva. She just smiled and turned to her trident and floated to Sora. Donald changed them as the ice melted to water at a rapid pace. When Sloth had recovered she shadow shifted away.

Destiny Island

Holding the slim, gleaming weapon behind her back, Tira stands in the shadows and she waits for the best moment to attack the child.

"Dancer, Sorcerer" Tira says into the darkness before her. Nobodies appeared before her in a shimmer of white and black. 'Yes' they said bowing. "Dancer send your squad in and a few of the local Heartless to take care of the pests outside." Tira said gesturing to all of Sora's and Riku's island friends and Yuffie standing guard.

"While Sorcerer takes his squad and stops the three witches" Tira said turning to of the shift. "Just save the Tifa for me." Tira shouted opening the shift and jumping through.

When a shadow portal appeared before the guards they ready themselves. Yuffie grabbed her super shuriken and shouted to Tifa as their warning. Aerith grabbed Akemi and ran up to Sora and Riku's bedroom, with Kairi and Namine behind. The three set their magic to work with Akemi sleeping in his parent's bed.

"GO!" Tira shouted to the sky as Dancers, Sorcerer and Heartless crawled and fell out of the dark openings they made. "Stand your ground!" Yuffie said to Selphie, Wakka, and Tidus and a few of the locals that wanted to help with protecting the child.

The Dancers moved in for the kill of some of the locals first. Kicking their bladed shoes and dancing in the blood of their victims. The few Sky Raiders fallowed the Sorcerers in side the house as they summoned their cubes to break down the windows and floated in.

As Yuffie, fallowed by Tidus and Wakka ran into the on coming Heartless with the first wave, Selphie stayed to helps the second defense. The trio cut, hit and slashed all the Heartless that came near them. Tira was skipping in all the blood and death of the men and Heartless alike. A man came running at her from the side.

Tira faced him, striking out with her Vibrato Flutter overture. The first horizontal blow sang as one of the spikes of her weapon scraped against the edge of his shacking blade, but when she twirled the hoop on her wrist, this series of strikes hit home, shredding the man's abdomen. Tira shrieked with pleasure as blood spurted from his wounds, spattering her face and body. The man fell to the ground, screaming in agony. He was still alive, but he would pose no threat. Leaving the Shadows to have his heart and she continued her skip to find Tifa.

Tira found the woman as she was kicking and punching the Dancers that had surrounded her. She watched as Tifa finished of each of her Nobodies, and continued on her merry way.

Tifa saw Tira skipping towards her and readied herself for the psychopath to come and play.

Tira switched from her playful skipping into an Agrement, kicking the young woman down. Tifa was tougher than she appeared to be, she recovered quickly, and swept her feet from under her. Grasping one of the raised, stylized skulls on the inside of her weapon, Tira drove the spiked part into the ground and back-flipped over it, away from her opponent.

"Ah did little Tifa fall" Tira said her he childish manner. "Is the little baby sad about losing last time?" Tifa said smirking at the rage that showed on Tira's face.

Tifa seized what seemed like an opportunity and attacked. Tifa dashed forward in a blur of black, to fast for Tira to track, she uppercutted Tira and followed the body in the air. Tira was in a silent shock, as Tifa appeared beside her at lighting speed and down kicked her to the earth below. As Tifa landed next to the hole where Tira's body laid she flipped back to make sure to keep her distance. The Nobodies and Heartless avoided the battle as best they could while fighting the others.

Tira slowly stood out of her rubble, her wounds already healed. "My turn" Tira said dashing forward. Tira slashed at Tifa's legs but was to slow. Tifa jumped over Tira and tried giving Tira a roundhouse kick to the head, but the casual way that Aiselne Drossel hung from Tira's hand was misleading.

She immediately whipped it upward into a guard that deflected her blows and reached through the opening in the middle. Grabbing his shoulder, she performed her Death Spindle, shoving Tifa hard, to throw off her balance and turning her hip, then hitting Tifa with a horizontal blow as she twisted back to face front.

"Bye!" she snarled. Tira had flipped the Drossel the other way around, so that the duller side of the spikes would not hit her. Tifa's back was slashed open and she was force across the ground as the ring blade made contact with her skin.

"Is the little girl gonna cry" Tira said staring at Tifa as she tried to push her self of the ground. Tifa just stood and gave Tira a smirk, "You hit like a girl you damn slut" Tifa said watching her words affect the woman. "You really want to die don't you!?" Tira snarled at Tifa. Tira lifts her hands, which are suddenly wreathed in purple. The energy travels through her body.

Holding the ringblade she moved in a blur towards Tifa. Tifa tries another round house kick at her, but Tira ducks and deals him a blow to his legs with a low swoop, but Tifa jumps over the kick and uppercutted Tira with her feet. As Tifa's feet touches the ground she moves again and gives Tira several blows to the chest and a kick that sent her flying hitting all the Nobodies and Heartless that where behind her.

Tira stabbed downward, piercing all the Heartless and Nobodies that were under her feet. The black and white blood that poured out was slowly sucked into her Aiselne Drossel. Tira screams, with rage as the 'blood' was absorbed. She move to Tifa's back and stabbed downward again, but at Tifa's feet.

Tifa isn't there anymore, though. She has rolled backward as she felt Tira move with the Darkness in her. Tira extended an arm toward her. The Aiselne Drossel whirls on her wrist, fast, and strikes Tifa with as many slashes as she could get with the woman blocking her attacks with her bear arms. Tifa stumbled back and Tira is following, yelling, "I'll make sure to grant you your death!"

Drossel ignites with black and purple as she swings it back, snarling, "Hurry up...and die!" Then she spins in place, slamming her ringblade into her opponent's torso. Tifa is ready though and snuck herself a potion as Tira was running towards her. Tifa waited to find the beat a kicked Tira in the stomach and sends her backward, and slams into the wall of a nearby building.

The Aiselne Drossel flew outwards spinning after Tifa who was easily able to nock the ringblade away with a punch underneath. The ringblade was in bedded in the ground. "Aww, you will die" Tira shouted running at Tifa. Tifa's plan had worked Tira's anger got the better of her and she was able to avoid all the punches and kicks. When she saw the saw the opening she did an upper kick and did several blows all over Tira's body.

When she was about to do the final blow she heard the Drossel spinning after her from behind. She jump backwards and watched as the ringblade impaled its master in stead of her. Tira gave a grunt as the weapon was imbedded in her chest. "Did the little girl have an ascendant" Tifa said in her best impression of Tira's childish voice.

Tira's body pushed the blade out and healed its wound. Tira slow stood with the ringblade in hand. 'Master we must leave' a Neo Shadow said to Tira as the Sorcerers were thrown out of the window of Riku and Sora's house. The Heartless and Dancers were all but gone. "But I am so close" Tira snarled as Tifa turned her head to look at the Sorcerers fall out of the house and faded. Tira dashed forward and grabbed Tifa by the neck and hurled her in the air and sent her still darkness induced ring blade after her and followed behind.

Tifa felt stupid to let her guard down. Tira's ringblade slashed up her spine and Tira kicked her at the throat to the ground below. She felt numb, the potion healed a small portion of her wounds on the outside but even a less on the inside. Tifa closed her eyes in pain as the well coming rest came at her.

Tira fell to the ground and the ringblade in hand. She slowly walked to wards Tifa if not for the giant kunai that came after her. Tira arm was all but sliced of as the blade met her skin. Tira gave a grunt of pain, and turned to face all the remaining town people along with Yuffie and crew behind her.

"You want some" Yuffie yelled at Tira. Tira was about say yes when she felt the calling of her master. 'Not now' Tira thought as she shadow shifted away.

Redd's Domicile

Tira shouted walking up to the cloaked figure. Xemnas looked at her with those yellow eyes. "I have another assignment for you" Xemnas said with no care. Tira just sat and listened to the plan that her master had made.

Radiant Garden

To say the least Leon found it quick funny when Cloud ran for his Sword and to the Front door to murder anyone that was there. When the blonde returned he was carrying a box. With holes and a kitten in it. "Was that what you found?" Leon asked trying his best to not laugh at Cloud who was in his boxers and with a murderous look.

"Hm" Cloud said looking at the kitten that almost looked like it was smiling at his naked lion. "Can we kill it and have it for dinner?" Cloud asked as the kitten hissed at him as he picked it out of the box like a slab of meat.

Leon pulled the kitten out and placed it in the box. "Screw the cat, but screw me" Leon said kicking the cat out of the bedroom with the box. Just as Cloud was about to have his lion, his rang. "UGH why me!" Cloud shouted grabbing his phone.

Leon sat and listened to Cloud talk on the phone. From what he could tell it was Yuffie. Cloud closed his phone and started to get dressed. "Aerith and the others want to bring Akemi here" Cloud said in his cold tone.

"I am sorry Leon" Cloud said with a disappointed look in his eyes. "It's okay go and help them, just happy anniversary." Leon said kissing Cloud. Cloud gave him a smile and slowly walked out to meet the others at Cid's shop.

Leon walked out and picked up the box with the kitten inside. The lid was back on. 'I don't remember putting that on.' Leon thought opening the box. When Leon looked inside to manly arms of the Cat grabbed Leon by the throat. Before the box hit the floor, the Cat was in is full form.

"Cloud!" Leon shouted as loud as he could, before the Cat grabbed him again.

Cloud was about to get on his bike before he heard Leon. Cloud pulled out his buster sword and ran to their bedroom, to Leon being dragged into a dark portal. "Leon!" Cloud shouted as he was about to touch Leon's out stretched hand when it disappeared in the darkness.

Redd's Domicile

The Cat knocked Leon out as they travailed through the darkness. He dragged him a long like a dead mouse he caught. When he entered his Queen's thrown room he saw a wall of black roses waiting for his catch of the day.

Cloud

"Damn it!" Cloud said hitting the floor. "Why did it that bitch want him. How…how did they get him?" Cloud said slowly crying. 'CAT' Cloud thought turning to look at the empty box. "Damn you" Cloud said stabbing the box. 'It's my fault' was Cloud's last thought before he went into a guilt induced state.

Redd's Domicile

Redd walked to the man bound tightly by her black roses. Leon starred blankly into space as the rose's sharp teeth poisoned his mind, body and heart with lies and fears, curtsey to Redd's imagination.

"What do you think the rose's are showing him?" Redd asked the Cat as she looked at the blank and dead face with an evil smirk. "Something to do with Cloud" the Cat said unsure of the answer. "ALL of his fears and his pain" Redd said as the Cat gave a crescent moon smile.

"Hmm… I am getting bored of waiting for Xemnas to take care of the others punishment." Redd sighed. "Why go and join the party and try your experiment?" the Cat said playing with a ball of yarn he had. "Hmm?" Redd stared questionably at her partner. "What was that Nobodies of yours, Rosso. You can see if you can change." The Cat said stopping his play with the yarn and stared at Redd.

Redd had remember when she was the best at the heart and the darkness. Xemnas was a fool, she was able to have all the powers of the darkness and not give up her heart so to say. She has the power of a Heartless or a Nobody. She would just have to change to have her Nobody Rosso to have that power. She would still be the same just have a different body.

"You can have some of your own fun and get Akemi" the Cat continued as he picked up his ball of yarn again. "I do believe you are right, my love" Redd or rather Rosso said. A woman of the same height and age, she had her red eyes but shorter and sleeked back and curved hair that fell to just above her shoulders. Her cloths change to silver metal and her gloves to pointed claws. Her stomach was exposed and her scepter had changed to a dual bladed weapon with a gun barrel in the middle.

"And I think my puppet is ready" Rosso said turning to Leon.

Leon's heart

Leon stood in a vase plan full of mirrors and darkness. He turned to look at his reflection. The reflection smiled at Leon's depressed. The mirror Leon walked out, but the real Leon seemed unfazed.

"Where am I and where is Cloud." Leon said glaring at his reflection. 'Ahh yes where is dear Cloud' it said. 'He is most likely in the arms of his beloved Sephiroth or maybe Tifa' the mirror Leon said with a dark smile.

"What are you talking about?" Leon said with shock on his face. "Cloud has me he wou-" but he stopped as an image of the blonde smiling with a real smile with anyone but him.

'Ah, you see, why would Cloud want you?' it asked 'You are weak and frail, a waist of his time. He can have someone better. Sephiroth, he would be protected and give himself to him. Tifa, he would have a reason to protect her because she could give him a family. You know how much Cloud wanted to have children' the reflection finished with a bigger smile than before.

As the mirror spoke images of Cloud being truly happy with them came to his mind. "But he choose me" Leon spoke brokenly. 'Probably wanted a good fuck and found out that the only way you would do it is if he said that he 'loves' you. He would leave you in a heart beat and you know it.' The mirror Leon said. Leon just stood there as the ground ate him alive.

Rosso and the Cat

"It has been so long sense I had a good blood bath." Rosso said putting her blades ob her back. "Now that they moved Akemi to Cloud's, Leon will be a great asset." Rosso said. "Why don't you try some of your Cards?" the Cat asked referring to the combination of Heartless and Nobody that Redd had made in her test.

The combination of the two creatures resulted in Redd making a creature shaped to be a card but not Heartless or Nobody.

"Two only" Rosso said as the Cards appeared at her side. Rosso snapped her fingers making the Roses release Leon from their grasp. "Your majesty" Leon said kneeling down with the blank look in his eyes.

Cloud and Leon's home

Over in the Radiant Garden, Cid was glued to his computer making sure the security systems were updated to find any sense signs of darkness, Aerith was taking care of Akemi and watching the infant sleep, and Yuffie was in Ansem's secret study, taking over Leon's job as Cloud thought of it, trying to once again find information that could help Sora and Riku. While Tifa was taking care of things on Destiny Islands.

Cloud was still sulking thinking that it was his fault Leon was taken. Cloud stayed at home and waited for the darkness to come. He smelt the filth of darkness, it poured in waves from outside his house.

Cloud grabbed his buster blade and ran outside to watch the shadows open.

Women walked out of the shadow with two Heartless, or were they Nobodies guards at her side. They were the shape of playing cards but had the build of a Nobody and a Heartless symbol on them 3. A Nobody symbol laid on her stomach, but glowed an eerie red instead of the pale white.

Cloud's first thought upon seeing her was that she was awfully… red. Her hair, eyes, down to the cape that trailed behind her were all stained the color of blood. "And you are?" Cloud snarled between his teeth.

"Rosso, Rosso the Crimson." She said with a smile on those blood red lips, informing Cloud of exactly who he was fighting. Rosso paused, quirking her head in the direction of the man standing next behind her, a sadistic grin spreading across her face.

"Ah, and you know Leon." She turned so Cloud could see the blank eyes that were once full of love and life. "Ah and we have another guest." Rosso said looking at the figure that was besides Cloud. "Aerith, so glad you were kind enough to show up. Why don't you come down here so I can practice my disemboweling?" she asked, her eyes flickering to the glass window that led to a bedroom in Cloud's house. Cloud noticed for the first time that she had a strange accent to her voice; her words coming out clipped and sharp as a sword. 4

"Or am I to let Leon use you as a warm up?" she continued, her gaze flickering back towards Cloud. He made no reply, only snarled at her words. "Give him back" Cloud said pulling out his buster sword. "Oh, you would fight your own love. Hm, how delightful it will be to see that sword through Leon's stomach and his beautiful blood-" "SHUT THE HELL UP" Cloud shouted at the image that Rosso had placed in his head.

"I'll kill you if dared hurt him, you damn bitch!" Cloud shouted watching the way Rosso narrowed her eyes and let out a cat-like hiss.

"See if you can, boy!" She growled back, raising her hands to show her metal gauntlets that ended in sharp nails that resembled talons. "I think I can sharpen my claws before Leon can have you," she growled. "Go and take care of Aerith" She shouted at Leon. Leon jumped over them with ability's that were not his own.

She moved in a flash of red, so quickly that the unprepared Cloud couldn't keep up with her movements. The next thing he knew the two card creatures were laying in a pool of their own blood, throats slashed open by her nails.

"Ahh… much better," she said, lifting her blood stained hands to look satisfyingly at their crimson tips. Lifting one hand to her lips, her tongue darted out to taste the red liquid that rolled down the metal gloves.

"Nothing gets my blood flowing like the sight of that of others' on my hands," she said, stepping past the two bodies that lay strewn on the floor. Cloud merely glared, watching the sadistic she-devil make her way closer to him and thinking how the creatures could have red blood like humans.

"So do you have a name, little boy? I might grant you the pleasure of living long enough for me to carve it on your chest," she said, eyeing Cloud's torso like a piece of meat. Redd or Rosso decided to play to stupid card and make them think that she was some else, other than Redd in her Nobody form.

"Cloud," he answered, with a questing look in his eyes. This can't be the one that killed Loz and stole Anima. Cloud tried to remember the name Axel had said. Redd, Redd was her name not Rosso. 5

"Cloud, is it? Well Cloud, let me see how pretty your blood is!" She cried launching forward in an attack so fast a normal eye wouldn't be able to see it.

Only, Cloud didn't have normal eyes due to the small darkness that was still in him. Rosso had ruined her advantage of surprise by her earlier display of speed. Cloud was expecting the sudden and unannounced display, and faster then even Rosso could move his sword snapped out, stopping one end Rosso's double bladed weapon before she could land her attack.

Rosso let out a smirk spread across her face, obviously expecting to be stopped so quickly and efficiently. Letting out an animalistic purr she darted across the enclosure to put some distance between herself and her opponent.

"Red really isn't my color, don't you agree?" He said dashing forward and slashing at the ground were she once stood. Smiling he watched the infuriated Rosso had to keep moving just to be barely grazed by the huge weapon. When Cloud stopped his assault for a moment he waited, patiently for her to make her attack. Wanting Rosso to learn the hard way that you don't fuck around with his stuff and least of all HIS Leon.

She struck, leaping across the enclosure with another battle cry, slashing at the air, intent on killing the figure under her. Cloud moved but not fast enough, one end of her blades was able to cut him but not deeply. As Cloud was regaining his composure form dashing out of Rosso's attack. She pulled her weapon out of the ground and fired a round of bullets at him a Cloud moved to dodge them. Watching as she vainly fired her bullets again and again and again. Cloud moved in dodging or hitting every bullet out of his way he made to end this fight. Rosso was expecting every move and met Cloud's every swing with her own.

Letting out a now familiar cry Rosso struck, she was 'surprised' when Cloud used her momentum to flip her onto the back as she was flung to the floor.

Flipping to her feet, she did a high kick to Cloud's head, hitting him clear across the street. Rosso jumped up again, and speed towards Cloud who was half way through the building. She was expecting his quick come back to save him by moving under her blade as she made to impale his head. He did, ducking under it and rushing forward, shoving her body with the side of sword, to slam her into the other building. His movements were slower however, and she was able to brace herself for the impact.

Rosso grinned as she pulled her self out of the building, motioning for Cloud to try again, which he willingly did, using all his strength and speed, anything and everything he had.


AN)

1 the one thing that I enjoy about Lust is that she has the easiest weapon but its hell to come up with good fight scenes when that the ONLY thing she has.

2 they are the instruments used for belly dancers.

3 I kinda like how I added the card soldiers kinda gives Redd that classic 'queen of hearts' picture.

4 I could find another way to describe a Russian accent

5 I thought it was a funny oxymoron. Rosso means red in Italian. And she has the best voice actress in English Mary Elizabeth McGlynn
