Me: once again, I thank u readers 4 the wonderful reviews u sent me! And now, u get the next chapter of the story. Enjoy!

Disclaimer: if I owned Kingdom Hearts, not only would there b more Final fantasy characters and yaoi, but I wouldn't b writing this fic. Think about that 4 a second.

"At least you guys moved here before Halloween," Riku stated, tossing a pebble into the ocean, watching it skip a few times before it sunk into the water. "Trust me. Halloween is awesome. We should find you guys something to wear."

"We got costumes," Sora defended. It was just him and Riku sitting on the beach shore, trying to skip pebbles on the water. Riku was the only one to be able to pull it off so far, but Sora wasn't one to give up.

"Oh really? Well, I would just love to see these costumes of yours."

"What would you dress up as?"

Riku blinked at Sora before laughing loudly. Sora glared slightly, huffing as he crossed his arms over his chest. He didn't know that what he said was funny, and he didn't get how it could even be funny in the slightest. "Sorry, Sora," Riku said when his laughing calmed down. "But creatures if the night don't dress up during Halloween. We go walking around looking like our real selves. Werewolves just show a few features like fangs, tails, claws, sometimes they make their ears visible, and they grow some hair over their bodies. That just the werewolves that have been one for a really long time. Over two or three centuries sounds more like it. If they are younger then that, then they change all the way. The younger ones don't have as much control over their transformation as the older ones do."

"So you just grow your fangs, make your ears pointy, change your eyes a bit, and get some claws?" Sora asked, blinking a bit.

"Something like that," Riku chuckled. "To tell the truth, the form of mine that you have seen before was just me showing very few of my vampire features. On Halloween, you'll see them all."

"Cool!" the brunet chirped, jumping to his feet. "I can't wait until Halloween! Hey, what exactly do vampires and werewolves do for Halloween?"

"On All Hollow's Eve, we just all meet up somewhere with other night creatures and have one hell of a party."

"Wait a minute. If the werewolves are gonna be there, are you sure it's a good idea to go?"

"Werewolves and vampires have a small truce during Halloween. As soon as the night is over, we start our fights again." Riku stood up to his feet, stretching his arms behind his back. "Come on. Let's go see this costume of yours."

"No," Sora said in a sly tone. "I don't want you to see it…yet."

"Aw, why not?" Riku asked in a fake whine. "Come on, Sora. I want to see it."

"Not yet. You'll see it on Halloween."

"I'm asking Roxas if he can find it and show me then," Riku stated with a smirk as he crossed his arms over his chest.

"I'll tell him not to," Sora fought back with a smirk of his own. "Roxas would do a favor for me if I give him a good enough reason."

"And keeping it a surprise from me is a good enough reason?"

"Yep!"

"You know what?"

"What?"

"I'm starting to think you don't have a costume."

Sora blinked a bit before he gave the silver-haired vampire a small glare. "I do so!"

"Prove it then," Riku slyly said, leaning in a little closer to the brunet. "Show me your costume."

"I'm not falling for that," Sora bluntly stated, crossing his arms over his chest as he turned his head another direction. "Cloud tries that stuff all the time. I'm not falling for it. Try all you want, but I'm not falling for that."

"Sora."

"What?"

"Look at me straight in the eyes."

"Axel warned me about that. No."

"Damn red-head," Riku growled a little. "I'm going to murder him."

"Have fun!" Sora chirped before he turned and walked away. "It's getting a little late. I better head home."

The vampire blinked a bit, watching the brunet's retreating figure before a smirk found its way to his lips. He jogged to catch up to the human teen, walking next to Sora's side with his hands in his pockets. "Hey, Sora?" Sora looked at him. "Do you like sunsets?"

"Never really seen one," Sora replied with a shrug. "Traverse Town is 'Home of the Endless Night', so seeing a sunset isn't an everyday thing. Why?"

Riku's smirk grew a little before he grabbed Sora's hand in his. "Time you saw one," was all he said before he took Sora a different direction. Next thing that brunet knew, both he and the silver-haired vampire were standing on top of a hill. It had a large empty spot in the middle of it, meaning that people come here often, with a ring of grass around the sandy spot. There was some railing along the edge of the hill, most likely there to make sure no one fell onto the train tracks that were below the hill. "This is Sunset Hill," Riku stated. "Ever want to see a sunset, come here. Trust me. The sunset is awesome when you see it from here." Sora blinked a bit before looking off into the distance, staring at the sun sinking down to hide in the horizon. "Watch," Riku said before all shades of pinks, purples, blue, and other colors painted the sky.

Further away from the sun, there were small twinkles of light. The stars have already appeared. The colors from the setting sun seemed to have been reaching out to the stars, wanting to cast more light upon the small specks of white in the darkening sky. "Whoa," Sora breathed. He had never really seen a sunset, so it never really occurred to him how the looked. He didn't think that it would look something like this.

"I honestly didn't expect for you to be gaping like a fish," Riku laughed out, seeing Sora's expression.

"Well sorry for never seeing a sunset like this before. Remember, I used to live in the town known as The Home of the Endless Night. Don't see the sun very much."

"Then how come you and your brothers aren't as pale as me, Leon, Axel, and Sephiroth?"

"Might be because you guys are vampires and mom and dad sometimes managed to get some work off, so we went to beaches. Destiny Island most of the time. White sandy beaches and the surrounding forest. Tons of fun. I actually managed to lose Cloud and Roxas in the woods once or twice. Or I thought I did before they jumped out of a tree I was under and tackled me into the ground." Riku chuckled at that. "You think it's funny? You try walking around with an aching back."

"Did when I was human," Riku replied, rubbing the back of his head. "Only Kadaj didn't jump out of a tree and onto me. He just tackled me into the ground. Maniac. Sephiroth was the one always pulling him off. Then Kadaj attached himself to Sephiroth!" Sora burst out laughing at that. "That was when he was normal hyper. Then he goes into town, manages to get something sweet, then come home and causes hell."

"At least he didn't blow anything up," Sora laughed out.

"Huh? What made you think something like that? Yazoo was the one always making sure that Kadaj didn't blow anything up. He tried, and actually succeeded once. Then Sephiroth gets pissed off because the thing Kadaj blew up belong to him. Let's just say that when we saw Sephiroth later on during that day, he was smiling. SMILING!!!! He doesn't smile! He smirks, not smiles! When we asked where Kadaj was, he just said 'hanging around'. Then Yazoo found him tied to the ceiling."

"He was tied to the ceiling?"

"Yep. Sephy got him up there somehow."

"Sephy?"

"Something Kadaj always called Sephiroth."

"You ever call him that?"

"I knew better then to call him that whenever he was around. Kadaj did it just to get on Sephy's nerves. Funny as hell watching Kadaj run away from Sephiroth when he got his sword out." Riku sighed a bit, lowering his head enough for the shadows of his bangs to cover his turquoise eyes. "Come on. Better get back home." Sora nodded his head before Riku started to walk away, the brunet following after him.

With Sephiroth

"We should at least let them know that you're not on Xemnas's side, Vincent," Sephiroth stated, looking over at the shadowed figure in the corner of the dark room. "Just so Riku and the others don't attack you if they see you."

"If they choose to attack me, they are being foolish," Vincent voiced his opinion.

"In case you forgot, Vincent, but those three are the most powerful vampires in Twilight Town. If provoked enough, they could kill Xemnas without batting an eyelash. They don't know how strong they are because their true abilities haven't been completely unleashed. They are just as strong as you, Vincent."

"I highly doubt that."

"Provoke them, then. See for yourself. For them, when their real powers are unleashed, they black out and don't remember a thing that happens."

"Then are you sure it is safe for them to be around humans that they care for?"

Sephiroth sighed, rubbing the bridge of his nose. "Those three are not easily provoked," he pointed out. "But with those humans, I think that provoking them will be the easiest task anyone can pull off. And I also believe that those humans might change something for all three of them."

"And what would that be?" Vincent asked, staring into Sephiroth's yellow-green orbs with his blood red ones.

"The same thing you changed about me, Vincent," Sephiroth replied with a smirk. "Do you remember what that was?"

"We vampires have no hearts, no beating ones anyway," Vincent stated. "But I remember you telling me something about yours."

"Do you remember what it was I said?"

"Hard to forget with it running through my mind every single day of every single week."

"At least you don't forget it."

Back with Riku and Sora

"Roxas!" Sora yelled out, chasing his blond twin. "Give it back!" He and Riku had only been back in the house for ten minutes before Roxas stole one of Sora's prized possessions- his silver crown necklace that their father had given him. Roxas had a silver necklace as well, but it was a four-pointed star instead of a crown. Cloud had one, but Leon had it now since the older blond gave it to him- his silver cross that had a lion's head on top of it.

"Never!!" Roxas playfully shouted back.

"So they do this all the time?" Axel asked, looking over at the oldest sibling, who just nodded a bit with a sigh. "Wow, they sure are fun," the red-headed vampire added with a smirk on his lips.

"Roxas!" Sora yelled out again. "Give it back or I'll take your star!"

"If you can catch me!" Roxas replied, running around the couch that Riku and Axel were sitting on.

"When I do, you're going to wish that I didn't!!"

"Empty threats!!"

Leon, who was starting to get a headache, grabbed the back of Roxas's shirt before placing his other hand on Sora's forehead, stopping the brunet's advancement. "Leon!" Axel whined. "You have to spoil all the fun!"

"I was getting annoyed," Leon bluntly said, not having much trouble holding back a struggling Sora and keeping his grip on Roxas's shirt. He gave the back of Roxas's shirt a hard tug, forcing the blond teen to fall back and land on his butt. Leon let go of the brunet when Sora stopped struggling, but soon regretted it when the brunet twin dived onto the blond one. Leon sighed loudly before leaning back against the wall next to the chair that Cloud was laying on. The blonde's head was laying on one of the armrest as his legs hung off the other side.

Cloud, not only sensing the tension emitting from Leon, but also seeing the annoyed glare that the brunet was giving the twins, decided to step in and separate the two. "Hey! Small fries!" Cloud called out to his twin brothers, who stopped what they were doing just to glare at their older brother for calling them small fries. "Knock it off, okay? Roxas, just give him back the necklace. And Sora, next time he runs off with it, just grab the damn baseball bat in the closet under the stairs. Stop giving me that look, Roxas. You kind of deserve it for running off with Sora's necklace."

"Yay!" Sora cheered as soon as his necklace was back in his hands. "Cloud loves me more!"

"Says who?" Cloud asked, raising an eyebrow as he tilted his head to the side to look at his brunet brother. "Just because I said that doesn't mean I won't take Roxas's side if you run off with his things. I'm just getting annoyed, and so is Leon. Just because you two don't pay attention, doesn't mean that I don't."

"What's he talking about?" Sora asked, acting completely clueless.

"I don't know," Roxas replied, acting just as clueless before both saw the glare that Cloud was giving them. Then they just burst out laughing.

"Hey, Sora," Riku called out, making the twins stop laughing. "I would suggest running right now."

"Why?" Sora asked, blinking a bit.

"Because we're vampires and can read minds," Axel replied for the silver-haired vampire next to him. It took a few second before both the twins got it. They stole a glance at their brother, who was looking REALLY annoyed before they both ran from the room with Cloud after them.

"These humans are defiantly strange," Riku muttered.

"But fun all the same!" Axel pointed out.

"Don't they make you feel a little weird though?" Riku asked the red-head. No point asking Leon since he was annoyed and when Leon was annoyed, he wouldn't answer anything people asked him.

"Weird how?"

"We haven't had heartbeats in centuries," Riku pointed out. "But when I'm with Sora, it's like my heart is beating again."

"Kind of the same way it is when I'm with Roxas," Axel stated. "What about you, Leon?"

Leon sent a small glance over to the red-head before looking at the doorway that Cloud had come back though with a grin on his face. "If you two want to find Roxas and Sora, I suggest looking up in the tree in the backyard," Cloud said as he laid back down on the chair near the brunet vampire. Riku and Axel sent a glance at each other before they went outside to figure out what Cloud did to the twins.

"What did you do?" Leon asked, raising an eyebrow as he looked down at the human.

Cloud leaned his head back a bit, the smirk still on his lips. "I found rope outside and tied them to one of the lower branches of the tree."

Leon just gave the blond a blank stare before speaking. "Axel and Riku were right for once. You and your brothers are strange humans, but fun all the same."

"Glad you think that, Leon," Cloud said with a small smirk.

Me: ok, ending the chapter in 5…4…3…2…1…REVIEW!!!!!!!!
