The Warning
………………………………………
Demyx huffed as he vanished his clones. He'd had graduated and been giving his assignment. He still needed to train to keep in shape though and what a shape did he have! Not that he was bragging, but he was pretty cute, and he did not feel useless. He still needed to be given his full memories. He only knew about an organization, but the images were blurry and the names bypassed him. He knew his and his job, but besides that, they were still holding them back. He wanted to know already, but he trusted them to be doing the right thing.
"Calm down!"
"Calm down?! I'm dead! What do you mean calm down??! I don't remember where I came from! Who I was!!"
Demyx frowned as he stood up straight, and looked out the door.
"Look, you have to calm down and we'll explain every thing to you."
"NO!!! I want explanations! NOW!!"
"Fudge! He burned me!"
"Get Back here!"
Demyx gasped when all of the sudden the door opened and intense heat spread through the arena. It was like a forest fire on a windy, windy, windy day, getting the fire to spread through the area in a matter of seconds. Demyx saw that the new person was surrounded by flames and unconsciously brought a ton of water on top of the figure, immediately extinguishing the fire.
The figure began spluttering, looking up and glaring at Demyx.
"Stop!" Quistis voice ran out through the gym. Demyx looked at the guy. He had long, spiked, red hair that seemed to defy the law of gravity. He had sparkling emerald eyes and small tattoos under his eyes, that kind of looked like tear drops yet those marks sped his heart up. Not physically, but what he believed to be his heart, that pulsing and energy storage they had, yeah, that was pulsing faster than usual. Demyx walked over to the growling red head.
"Demyx! Don't touch him!" Quistis and Rinoa began running towards them. The red head just hissed at him, backing away.
"Are you hurt? I'm sorry, I saw you on fire…." Demyx trailed off when he touched the red head's arm. A sudden pain surged through his body and into his mind. There were two gasps as the red head also grabbed his head. Memories flashed through both of them. Demyx. Axel. Organization 13. Xenmas. Roxas. Keyblade. Saix. Zexion. Every one. Demyx hissed and looked up into shocked emerald eyes.
"Axel?"
"Demyx?"
"I told you not to touch him." Quistis snarled, going over and glaring at him Her normal passive ocean blue eyes were now a dark, stormy blue. Demyx flinched.
"Hey, lay off him." Axel snapped, getting out of his stupor.
"You! You have training to do! Since you are so eager, might as well get you started. Demyx, your assignment, now! You two are not allowed to see each other until training is over for Axel." Quistis hissed.
"Who are you to tell us what to do?" Axel snarled, wanting to talk to someone he knew and get answers.
"Don't Axel. Every thing will be explained later, I promise."
"What happened to the cloak." Axel motioned to Demyx's clothes. Demyx looked down and smiled. He wore a tight, sleeveless shirt with white leather pants and white leather gloves. Yes, leather and more leather! He rather liked the leather though, it was nice. He understood why Leon wore it so much, which was good, it made him feel closer to his charge, even though Leon never wanted to see him again.
"Well, after you get your assignment, your clothes will change as well. I have to go." Demyx grinned, grabbed his white coat and vanished to Axel's shock.
……………………………….
"What's wrong Axel?" Demyx frowned.
Axel snarled and threw his black gloves against the wall. His black trench-coat swirled around him. Demyx felt his eyes wonder down, to the nice tight, black shirt and leather pants.
'Bad Demyx, focus, focus.'
"What's got you all worked up now?" Demyx asked.
"That ass!" Demyx just looked at Axel confused. 'What ass? Whose ass?' Demyx thought, fighting hard to keep eyes trained on Axel's hair.
"He called me red porcupine!" Axel huffed. Quistis and Rinoa tried to stifle their giggles.
"He was just kidding." Demyx tried to pacify him. This was not the first time it had happened, it seemed like every day, the two would get on each other's throats.
"How can you tell? Every thing he says is in a serious mood!" Axel snapped.
"Well, the more you get to know him the better you'll understand him." Demyx placed a hand on Axel's arm, using his powers to sooth Axel.
"You got the light one, I got the darkness. I do not think it is fair…" Axel muttered.
"You two have been together for two months, I've been with Leon for nine now. It gets better." Demyx consoled him, hand still on Axel's arm.
"Well, how about we leave you two alone, by yourselves so you two can talk." Quistis smirked, eyes twinkling with mirth.
"No need, I need to go check up on some people. Makes me a messenger boy." Axel just shook his head, before turning on his heels and walking off. Demyx sighed, looking forlornly at the retreating form of the red head.
"Don't worry Demyx. We've seen him check out your white, leather clad butt." Quistis grinned. Demyx blushed and glared at her.
"Aww, our Demyx is growing up and in love!" Rinoa teased, wagging her finger at him.
"Whatever." Demyx mumbled. Quistis and Rinoa looked at each other before bursting out, laughing. All of the sudden, Demyx hissed, feeling a certain pain. His eyes widened, before immediately disappearing.
…………………………………………………
Leon groaned as he stood up. He had fallen asleep again, but thankfully no dream. He looked around and noticed that Demyx had gone off. His lips twitched, a ghost of a smile on his lips. He threw the blankets off and stood up. It was nice, having these moments of solitude.
He looked out the window and sighed. Some times, this whole rebuilding Radiant Garden was just too tiring. The sun was not even out, but it was worth it. He missed the old days. Leon sighed, melancholically, but he pushed those thoughts away, this was not the time. He grabbed his jacket and grabbed his boots, putting them on, on his way out.
"Good morning Leon!" Aerith chirped. Leon grunted, running a hand through his hair, trying to smooth it down, even though it always looked the same.
"Morning." Leon passed by her and grabbed an apple.
"You are not staying for breakfast?" Aerith frowned, worriedly.
"Not hungry." Leon shrugged.
"Leon! Look at you! Almost skin and bones! You rarely eat!" Aerith admonished him.
"I eat." Leon came close to pouting. Besides Demyx, the only other person who he would show emotions to, or come close to, was Aerith. She was a strong and stubborn women, but she was not pushy like the other people, and she actually understood about his space and not to bug him too much…unless it was about his health…like right now….
"Look, just promise me you'll make it to dinner, lunch I can understand but dinner you better be here." Aerith scowled at him, hands on her hips.
"Promise." Leon smirked, grabbing another apple and heading out. Aerith just sighed and shook her head. She and Leon had an understanding. He saw her as an older sister and she saw him as a younger brother, always in the need of help after loosing all those he loved. He also sometimes wanted to kill her and wished he could be her at times. He never said that out loud of course, and he tried very much to push those thoughts away, but at times, when HE would smile at her, so tenderly, he would want nothing to do with Aerith……..
……
Leon sighed as he munched on the apple, pushing the promise in the back of his mind, knowing that he wouldn't forget a promise. He never did. Not even to him.
He stopped for a moment and looked up at the sky, as the navy blue became tinged with reds, pinks, oranges and light blues. Leon let a small play on his lips, for that moment, every thing was right in the world. Shaking his head after a few minutes, he made his way to the Crystal Fissure. He wanted to shine his gunblade and he found out that those crystals were strong enough to do it. That is why he woke up a bit earlier than usual; he needed to sharpen his gunblade before heading off and helping with the castle. Also, it was very calming and relaxing, and he really needed to think about some things, especially with those dreams. He'd been having them for nine months. He knew it was a message, but he was not about to kneel down and be driven into another journey and into a destiny he did not want. Fate his ass! He wanted no part in the upcoming battle, he would help, but he would be no prophecy child, it was just not him. Demyx did not seem to understand that. He did have to give credit to Demyx, he was trying. He wasn't so bad after you got to meet him, and this was good, because he was sure he would see Demyx until he reached, he hoped, his ninety's…..which was good, because he knew he was not lonely when the time came for every one to go on their separate ways. He would have someone there, who would be there when his heart got broken, completely. That was something he did not want to think about at that moment….Never actually….
……..
"You know, I never understood the point of the wolves." Axel drawled as he appeared, lounging on the blond's bed. Acting like if he owned the place, but that was just Axel's way….of annoying Cloud.
"Of course you wouldn't. I thought you were out, doing what ever it is you do when you are not here." Cloud glared at him. Seriously, the whole red hair, it reminded Cloud of a demon. Besides that evil twinkle and mischievous smirk did not help any. Axel also seemed to not know the meaning of leave, get out, shut up, go to hell, I hate you, and other spiteful words.
"I missed you too. Now, I searched over and I found him, but I believe he knew I was there." Axel shrugged, clearly enjoying annoying the poor blond.
"Oh really?" Cloud looked at Axel, expectantly.
"You know, Leon has the lion and you have the wolf, why is that? Is Leon all feline? Graceful and stuff? Because no offense, but canines?" Axel shrugged, avoiding the subject on purpose to annoy Cloud.
"Because we love animals and yes, he is graceful. He does the whole feline stretch. Now what happened?" Cloud snapped, not bothering to think, he just responded..
"I did not think you paid so much attention to Leon? What are you hiding?" Axel smirked.
"We spar, of course I noticed." Cloud hissed, his cheeks flushing, arms tensing, ready to strangle the angel.
"Are you sure? Not thinking of cheating on your girlfriend with that hot piece of—"
"Axel! Tell me, what happened! Now!" Cloud snarled, cutting him off as his last shred of patience flew out his window.
"So I found him. Silver hair all billowing in the wind and stuff. I was just watching, when he began speaking." Axel stopped to make it more dramatic.
"He said, and I quote, 'Tell him, that he is wasting his time. Much more bigger things are coming. I am not here for him. This time, I am going lion hunting, since he has become too boring. Don't ask how I know, I just know.' He then began laughing manically and I left." Axel shrugged, like talking to half angels was the most normal thing, which if he thought about it, it was since Cloud was a half angel, wasn't he?
"Can you repeat that for me, again?" Cloud frowned, clearly trying to decipher what it was that Sephiroth meant.
"Tell him, that he is wasting his time. Much more bigger things are coming. I am not here for him. This time, I am going lion hunting, since he has become too boring. Don't ask how I know, I just know. Laugh maniacally." Axel repeated, this time a bit slower. He frowned, before bolting out of the bed as it finally hit him. .
"Fudge! He is lion hunting!" Axel hissed. Cloud was way ahead of him, grabbing his sword and rushing to the living room.
"It's past lunch, Cloud. You barely woke up?" Aerith shook her head.
"Where is Leon?" Cloud hissed, making his way to the door, opening with so much force he almost broke it out of its hinges.
"Umm, he went out about dawn." Aerith said, worry shining in her eyes.
"Damn! I'll be back." Cloud ran out, Axel flying next to him as they ran towards the Dark Depths. His red wings seemed to resemble fire flickering with the air as Axel rushed on.
……………………………………………………
Leon whirled around, steel clashing with steel.
"Well, well, well, it seems the kitty does have a bite." Sephiroth smirked, his hair bellowing, as Axel put it, behind him with the wind. His emerald eyes held a glow, a secret.
"What do you want Sephiroth? I'm not Cloud." Leon snapped, pushing Sephiroth away. He wanted nothing to do with Sephiroth and Cloud's games. May be just Cloud's…no wait! He did not just think that!
He was not even sure what was the deal with Sephiroth, and he really did not want to know. He just wanted to be left alone. Sephiroth just laughed and flew back, eyes gleaming dangerously.
"I know. I'm actually here for you. I've decided that lions are a lot more fun." Sephiroth grinned maliciously, eyes running down Leon's body.
"What do you want with me?" Leon snapped, Lionheart up, ready for any attacks Sephiroth threw at him. He knew he was in no condition for fighting, especially someone as strong and powerful as Sephiroth. If Cloud could not do it and he'd been training and fighting against Sephiroth since the beginning of time, Leon would definitely not be able to defeat him.
"Just some fun." Sephiroth said in an innocent voice, before rushing towards Leon, swords clashing once again. Sephiroth smirked, flying back before rushing at Leon once again too fast for Leon to block, sending him flying and hitting the wall, head hitting the wall with a sickening smack. Leon hissed and stood up, he was sure he had broken some bones with that hit, but since his body was strained and full of adrenaline, he did not feel any pain. Not to mention that his vision had become a bit blurry, and the whole fact that he'd not been having enough rest was not helping matters much. Sephiroth smirked and rushed at Leon, but Leon was ready this time. He sent a stream of fireballs before jumping out of the way. Sephiroth flew back, looking amused.
"Well, it seems the kitty can hold his own."
"Leon!" Demyx appeared right next to him, worried written all over his face.
"Well, well. We have another one, a different one." Sephiroth looked over at Demyx, noting the color he was wearing.
"You can see me? How?" Demyx asked, shocked, before immediately going into a defensive stance, unsure of what to expect from him.
"I derived from Cloud, I may not be the darkness but I have some of him." Sephiroth shrugged, but the malicious grin never left his face. Leon was quiet sure by now, that Sephiroth was born with that grin and he would never be able to take it off.
"What do you want?" Demyx snapped, feeling like he was missing something. He could feel some energy, some familiar vibe, but he was unsure where it was coming from, since Sephiroth was also radiating a type of vibe.
"Don't worry, I'm not here to kill your precious charge." Sephiroth sneered, lowering himself until his boots touched the ground. He enjoyed floating in the air, it gave an advantage, but this was not the time for a fight, he had important business to take care of.
"I came to inform you that you don't have much time." Sephiroth brought his sword down, before it vanished into thin air. Arms then folded in front of a very, well formed chest.
"Evil is coming, at the most you may have a day or two. You need to get ready." Sephiroth warned, glaring at Leon and Demyx, making sure they new the gravity of the situation.
"Why are you telling us this?" Leon asked, not relaxing one bit. He did not trust Sephiroth, he had no reason to.
"I may be darkness, and a bit evil but I need light in the world. I cannot do anything about it, because as the prophecy says, the light bearer is the only one that can defeat this evil. You my lion, I need alive. Be warned, its coming." Sephiroth hissed, before looking up. He frowned as the sound of footsteps reached them. Demyx could sense two vibes making their way over, Axel and Cloud.
"Your boyfriend is coming, kitty. Time for me to take my leave." Sephiroth smirked, before jumping up and away.
Leon frowned, glaring at the back of Sephiroth, gingerly bringing his blade down.
"I'm sorry! I shouldn't have been gone for so long!" Demyx turned to look at Leon, eyes tearing.
"I'm fine Demyx." Leon sighed, leaning back onto the wall, dropping his Lionheart to the ground. His body feeling the pain and exhaustion, now that Sephiroth was gone.
"Leon!"
"Demyx!"
Leon and Demyx looked up. There stood a breathless Cloud and Axel. Cloud rushed over to Leon and looked him over. His breath came in short puffs as he tried to slow his heart down. He couldn't help but think the worst as he ran to the Dark Depths. Now, that he saw Leon there, all in one peace, he let himself relax a bit. Leon was fine….
"Are you alright? Did you fight Sephiroth? What happened?" Cloud frowned, eyes looking around for the silver haired fiend. Cloud was confused as to why Sephiroth would go against Leon…unless….he knew something….but no one knew…only Aerith….not even Cloud was sure about it….
"Demyx! Did he see you? Do you know why? You better not have fought him!" Axel hissed, grabbing hold of Demyx's chin, turning his face to see if he was hurt. Demyx couldn't help the blush spreading on his cheeks. Leon looked over and raised an eyebrow. Cloud looked over as well and frowned, just seeing Axel, fretting over something. Cloud frowned and looked at Leon looking at Axel. The only explanation Cloud had, was that Leon could see Axel….if Leon could see Axel, it meant one thing….
"You can see him?" Cloud frowned. Leon snapped out of it and hesitated. Cloud noticed this, though, and his eyes narrowed.
"See who?" Leon played dumb, acting like he had no idea what Cloud was talking about and acting like he was not faced by Cloud's concern. He bent down and retrieved Lionheart from the floor, trying to focus on something that was not pain and that was not about how close Cloud was. He stood back up, noticing Cloud was looking at him, critically.
"You can see him!" Cloud hissed, blocking Leon's view of Axel. Axel and Demyx just looked at the two, knowing grins on their faces. Leon glared at him and pushed by him.
"I have no idea what you are talking about. Let's go, we have dinner to go to and I promised Aerith I'll be there." Leon huffed, tightening his hold on Lionheart as he walked off. He winced in pain, but he did not stop or falter, he did not want to be seen as weak, especially not in front of Cloud. Not that he cared what that chocobo head thought of him. He did not care, Cloud did not care, Leon did not care, simple as that.
"You do look a bit thinner than usual." Demyx frowned, poking at Leon's ribs.
"Shut up, Demyx." Leon hissed under his breath. Cloud just huffed and followed Leon. Cloud was not sure, but at times he would catch glimpses of light blue wings. He shook his head and let it slide.
