(Sorry for the wait everyone, I'm a college student and it was finals time. You know how it is, and if you don't, hopefully you will someday.)

My head rested against the door, and I closed my eyes. I inhaled through my nose, and exhaled through my mouth. My body began to relax, and my heart slowed as well. But I was a little shaken when I heard three loud thumps on my door.

"Sai! Sai, open the door it's me, Lea!"

I stood up to open the door, but he opened it himself. Closing it behind him, I stepped back to allow him personal space.

"What happened? Are you alright?" He actually looked concerned. How could he pull this off? Familiarity?

"I'm fine now," I replied, sitting on my bed. He came and sat next to me.

"What happened?" I paused, but remembered that Lea and I always shared everything with each other. What harm could telling him bring?

"I failed my mission today," I said. Lea looked at me like I'd just said the dumbest thing he'd ever heard.

"Sai, I know you're a crazy perfectionist and all, but messing up a mission isn't the end of the world!" He was a little annoyed now.

"You don't understand. I was supposed to learn my attribute today, and I panicked and failed. It doesn't help that it was in front of Zexion either."

"What? You like him or something?" Lea asked.

"Not a chance. But, it's one more thing he can hold over my head. Anyway, he sent me into this dream state to find it, and it hurt. I felt like I was going to die," I said, looking away.

"That's weird. When Lexaeus taught me my attribute, he put me in a life or death situation, and it just sort of happened. Next thing I knew, I was sneezing fire," Lea said, scratching the back of his head. "What happened in the dream?"

"I ended up in some random forest. There were wolves, everywhere! They were surrounding me! I managed to run away, and I made it to this cliff, but they followed me, and then all I could feel was pain," I said. Lea looked at me, and then stared at the floor. "I'm going to have to try again tomorrow, but I don't want to. I just can't. It'd be easier if you were there," I said, looking back at him now.

Lea smirked and looked up at me. "Maybe I can be. I've finished all of my training, and I don't have an upcoming mission yet. Let's ask Zexion if I can come with you tomorrow!"

"He's going to think I'm weak," I said, standing up now.

"You are weak," He said, now standing to. He pushed me, and I pushed him back, but he grabbed my shoulders. We fell on my bed together, and he jabbed at my sides, tickling me. I barked at him to stop, trying not to laugh, but he kept going. I managed to grab his hands to keep him from torturing me any further. "See, I told you."

"I could totally take you," I said.

"I'd just set you on fire," He said, smirking.

"What, with your sneezing?" I asked, mocking him.

"No, with my sex appeal," he replied, winking at me. I rolled over immediately, to hide my face…and my arousal. He laughed, and stood up. I could feel him tug at my sheets from under my body, and then he left them at the foot of my bed. He unzipped out of his uniform, and left it there on the ground. I looked at him, standing there in his boxers.

"What do you think you're doing?" I asked, trying very hard not to look down.

"Getting ready for bed," he said, going through my drawers. He pulled out his pair of pajama bottoms that he left in my room when we were still…human. He put them on, and hopped onto my bed.

"And when did this become a sleep over? Your room is down the hall," I said, in a matter-of-fact tone. When we were human, we had hearts to guide us, and keep us in check. Now that I was just a corpse, nothing really kept me from waking up with my legs intertwined with his…

"I don't feel like walking that far. Deal with it," he said, laying down on one of my pillows. I rolled my eyes and stood up, going to my drawer. I took out a t-shirt and my pajama bottoms, and went into the bathroom. Once I was fully changed, I came back outside and sat on my bed. I turned out my light and pulled the sheets over myself. I laid on my side, facing away from Lea, and positioned myself as far away as possible.

"Night Sai."

"Night," I said, closing my eyes. I was slightly afraid to sleep; afraid to dream again, after what happened with Zexion. But, with Lea's added body heat, my bed was so warm and comfortable, that after about fifteen minutes, I was fast asleep. The trouble didn't come until the next morning.

I awoke a little too comfortably. When I finally stirred, I opened my eyes, to find them staring at flesh. It was Lea's neck. Somehow, Lea managed to snake his arms around me, keeping me pulled into him. One of my hands was against his chest, the other around his neck. His lips were in the perfect position to kiss my forehead. And that's when I realized…

I had a log's worth of morning wood.

I jumped up and pushed Lea out of my bed, hard.

"Hunh? What? What happened?" Lea asked, looking around frantically.

"Get out," I said.

"What? Sai what's wrong?"

"It's morning, and I'm late for training. I need to hurry up and get ready, and you do to, so we can ask Zexion if you can come along."

"Oh…yeah…right," he said, rubbing his eyes and getting off of the ground. He walked to the door, and exited toward his own room. I fell back on to my own pillow out of exhaustion. Sometimes Lea could be a real piece of work. Once I regained my since of composure, I got ready for the day, dressed and cleaned. I walked down to the kitchen to make coffee, but someone already made some. So I fixed myself a cup and went into the grey area to wait. Zexion showed up not long after.

"Axel asked if he could attend your training session today."

"Is that alright?" Zexion's face seemed slightly annoyed.

"Why does it matter that he's there?"

"Aww, don't tell me you're jealous?" I liked Zexion really, but soon he'd realize just how sarcastic I could be.

"Not even close. But, it's odd that the two of you have any sense of feeling toward each other. Oh well, I guess it's just a habit," Zexion said, now making a portal.

"Does that mean Le- I mean, Axel is coming?" I asked.

"It makes me no difference. However, I have no intention of waiting for him," Zexion responded, stepping through his portal. Lea came running out of his room, zipping up his cloak. I rolled my eyes at how goofy he looked. He probably went to Zexion's room in his pajamas. Lea could be a complete zombie in the morning.

I stepped through the portal, ending up back at Hollow Bastion. Zexion led us back to the clearing we were at yesterday. My fist clenched and I waited for him to start.

"Are you ready for this?" Zexion, summoned his book, and I nodded. He started saying things, and the world around me changed entirely. I was back in the same forest and everything looked and felt exactly the same. The only difference was that this time Lea was with me.

"What are we supposed to do?" Lea asked.

"I'm not sure. Last time, I was surrounded by wolves."

"There's one there!" Lea said, pointing.

A slate grey wolf came down from behind a series of trees. It walked toward me, very quickly, but also very calm. This wolf had no intention to harm me. On the contrary, it came up to me, and licked at my shoes. Lea laughed, and came up to pet the wolf. It licked at Lea's hand, and then pounced on him, and started licking his face.

"Looks like you got yourself a new girlfriend," I said.

"Hey! Hey-stop stop!" Lea said. The wolf just sat up on his stomach. Lea propped himself up on his elbows. "Hey, I just noticed something."

"What's that?" I asked, coming over.

"This wolf's eyes…they're the same shade of yellow that your own are." I never realized Lea paid attention to my eyes. If we were still alive, I'd probably be blushing. Suddenly I loved my new body that much more.

"I'm sure it's normal," I said. My ears twitched at the sound of shifting leaves. The entire pack of wolves from yesterday descended upon us. I braced myself for a fight, but they walked right by me, all flanking Lea. Then, they all came up, licking him, nuzzling him, and prancing around him. It was the strangest thing I'd ever seen.

One of them came over to me, and I looked into her eyes. Lea was right; it was like looking into a glass or a window…

Or a mirror.

I cocked my head to the side, and she did the same. I took a step back, an she paced backward. I opened my mouth, and she did to. I suddenly realized what was going on. Not only did I know that my attribute was wolves, but I now knew where we were. The forest was my mind, the wolves my thoughts, (strangely enough smothering Lea) and the moon, my source of power.

"ZEXION LET US OUT!" I yelled. Lea looked at me as if something went wrong. Suddenly, I was back in Hollow Bastion.

"Do you know what your attribute is?"

"Yes, but I won't be able to show you." I said.

"Then you have failed again."

"No Zexion. I can't show you here."

"Why not?"

"Because I can't feel the moon."

Zexion looked at me curiously. Lea stood up from the ground, a little worried. No doubt he was thinking of my "allergy." Only, it wasn't an allergy anymore. The moon was my strength, and my source of power.

"Fine, then we will reconvene tonight," Zexion said. I nodded, and summoned a portal back to the castle. One by one, we walked in, arriving at the grey area. The superior stood there, along with Xaldin, discussing something.

"Zexion," The superior said, greeting him; Xaldin just walked away.

"Hello my lord," Zexion said.

"Hello Axel, Saix," Xemnas greeted us as well.

"Heya," Lea said. I wanted to elbow him. He clearly didn't know how scary this man could be.

"Good afternoon," I said.

"Have you discovered Saix's attribute yet?"

"It will happen tonight, my lord," Zexion said.

"I hope so." Xemnas said, gazing at me, before turning, and floating away. His grace astounded me every time. But now, I was afraid. What would happen to me if I was wrong? What would happen to Lea?
