A-D: YO! Apologies for the late update (was planning to do it like two weeks ago but got SWAMPED with stuff D: ) and…well… Whatever you think that the thing/person/whozamawutsit is…. It probably isn't. I got no reviews or messages about what I should make it so…. IT SHALL BE….something. Typing this all up as fast as I can now. SO. Without further ado…. THE DISCLAIMER.

Disclaimer: I OWN NOTHING BUT THE WORDS ON THIS LITTLE BIT OF THE INTERET….scratch that, my computer owns those… KH is not mine, FF is not mine, and neither is Nintendo, or Sega, or anything else that pops into this fanfic.

"Well well well." the vampires froze. Who was that? And how had they snuck up on them like that!? " ''welcome to my web' said the spider to the fly.' " Axel winced and had to comment.

"Man that is so cliché!" He turned and sent a fireball toward the speaker, who happened to not be there. "What?!"

"Axel, let's just keep our guard up and run like bats outta hell, no pun intended." Riku called, starting after Leon and Sephiroth who were both carrying a very weak newly found to be alive brother of Riku. The fire controlling vampire did so and really put the proverbial pedal to the metal.

"You do realize that if anything follows us. they will be screwed too?" He panted, almost just remembering the fact. "Just sayin'."

Riku nearly died at that thought. See Sora get hurt?! No… "We'll just need to be three times as careful as we usually are." He responded. Axel blinked.

"So that's….ugh.. I hate math. Squall a little help here?" The brunette glared over.

"Oh I'll help you Axel. I'll help you on a one way ticket to-"

"Stop fighting and run faster!" Sephiroth was taking none of their bull crap. The bickering ones shut their mouths and hurried along even faster than they'd been going. It was HARD to keep up with Sephiroth!

"Soraaaaaa." Roxas was not happy. He'd been woken up several times by his restless brother, and this time it was not looking good. "How in the world did you get the cake on the ROOF!?"

The pair was outside their house, looking up at the roof where a cake, one Cloud had been saving, rested nicely and fairly safe. How the cake had gotten up there, that was something that was to be asked and needing an answer. That's what the blonde twin was expecting.

"Well…ya see I was playing with this slingshot I found-"

"Where did you find a SLINGSHOT?!" So many questions! The brunette just grinned sheepishly. Roxas sighed. "Just….just help me get the cake down. If Cloud finds out you were in the kitchen he'd kill you." They both got ready to work some skin-saving tricks. Though they had no idea they were being watched.

From the house next door, the tall figure of Vincent stood near the window. He was stuck making sure that nothing happened in case something went wrong on either end. He loathed it, but then again…. Well…that was a story for another time.

It didn't take long for the cake to be saved, and in an impressive amount of time (for humans at least.) It was rather interesting how they ran inside so happy. But not interesting enough to hold the pure vampire's attention. He'd left the house, so silent that not even the a ninja would be able to measure up, and headed toward the one place that he would probably be needed, and fairly soon it might end up.

"OK! OK WE GET IT YOU ARE PISSED OFF!" Axel tried to move even faster due to the fact that, he'd taken a wrong turn and crashed right into one they were scared of finding. Saïx. The most rabid, strong, and mad of the whole enemy complex.

Sephiroth was far out ahead and searching for the best way out. Leon was doing his best to support Kadaj's limp form, but was starting to fail in that as it was hard to run fast as hell and adjust dead weight all at once. Riku was working on summoning his power over shadows and, surprisingly, made a difference. A ball of dark flame-like substance hit the raging vampire behind them, making him stop and shout in rage.

"OHHHHHH! TEN POINTS!" Axel cheered, sending his own fireballs over. Each hit, or seemed to hit. It was hard to tell with the cloud of shadow growing and their eyes being turned away from the whole scene.

"HERE!" yes! Sephiroth had found an exit! There was a mute sigh of relief as they hurried to the one open window in the whole place. With all their running, you'd figure they were in a castle or something, but it was nothing but the mansion that they hated so much.

Each, one by one, left the window once at it. The ground seemed almost too good to be true when they touched down, but each knew. They'd done the near impossible. They'd gotten out, and now they had to get home without being found by the werewolves. Great.

"Sora…Sora. Wake up." Cloud shook the boy. How'd his youngest brother end up on the couch? More importantly, why was he trying to eat a Nintendo controller? "Sora!"

"THE SQUARE ROOT OF PIE IS A LEMON!" The youngest woke with a start and blinked. Woa… what happened? "Wha- Oh! Hi there Cloud!" He grinned at his older brother. "Whassup?"

"It's time to get up is what." He frowned and motioned to the stairs. "Get your butt ready or you don't get to eat breakfast today." Sora blinked.

"But….just my butt?! What about the rest of me?" That caused the oldest to sigh.

"You know what I mean Sora. Now get moving, Roxas is already up, dressed, and outside."

Well there was his motovation! Outside meant air and sun! Air and sun meant….uh….living? No…that's not what he was getting at. Riku! He'd see Riku again! "WOOOO HOOO!" He ran up the stairs with his happy pants on.

"Ugh…sleep….bed….please?" Axel stumbled around the living room. He was so tired from all the running, staying up, hunting, being scared of Saïx, and nearly dieing via werewolf encounter. Good thing Vincent had found them at the just right time! That was lucky, even by Sephiroth's standards. Speaking of tall, long-haired, and oldest brother. He was making sure Yazoo and Kadaj had good resting places for the day, as they were probably still tired from doing absolutely nothing.

"Axel you know we can't rest until it's safe." Riku yawned. He was tired, but he'd wait until someone told him it was fine….someone that wasn't Axel. Leon would do, but then again he was busy checking the whole house for something or other that he wouldn't tell them about.

Sephiroth came out, looking like he was just starting to get drowsy. Axel looked like he was going to pass out on the TV. It wasn't too much of a contrast, but then again, Riku knew what had transpired to make it happen. "Well?"

The man smirked, only a little though. "They're going to be fine. Everyone can rest. I'm going to stay up a while longer." He sat on the couch and promptly began to channel surf as an overjoyed red head sprinted upstairs to the room he was so longing to be in. Riku smiled a little and went up to his own room…to find the bed was occupied by Kadaj. Yazoo was on the futon slash couch slash spare bed slash lounging device. Both were sleeping soundly and looking like they needed it.

Well crap. "Ugh…" He yawned and turned around. Leon would let him crash in his room. It wasn't like it was weird for that to happen at random, like when Axel sets something off in Riku's room making him stay for a month in Leon's company while both plot to get the pyro back. Revenge wasn't there this time, but sleep was.

"Yo, Leon, can I crash in here?" He asked, poking his head into the mentioned brunette's room. It was fairly nice, neat, and well themed. Sure did have an odd thing for lion decorations though.

"Sure. Axel again?" The response was fairly blunt.

"Nope…Kadaj and Yazoo are in there." That would explain it all. Leon shrugged and motioned for Riku to set up as he needed to. It was a sort of routine for them when one had to stay in the other's room. Now all they had to deal with was…. Damn near everything else on their list of 'Crap To Attempt To Avoid."
