After Leon and Cloud had made it inside the house, Demyx and Axel vanished. They had other things to take care of, besides, Cloud and Leon were safe inside the house, for now at least.
"What happened Demyx?" Axel folded his arms in front of his chest as he waited for Demyx to tell him. His green eyes followed Demyx, back and forth as he paced.
"Sephiroth, came to warn us." Demyx sighed, hands wringing the gloves.
"Oh?" Axel frowned, a bit confused.
"He said that IT is coming. The Evil will begin to spread soon. He said we have a day or two at the most." Demyx shuddered at the thought. He looked up at Axel, fear shining in his eyes.
"We can't trust him, can we?" Axel walked up to him, placing his hands on Demyx's shoulders. Axel did not want to believe Sephiroth, but he knew that Sephiroth was telling the truth, it was obvious that he knew too much.
"We have news." Quistis ran up to them, her hair was down, cascading down her shoulders. Her eyes were full with worry, mouth set in a line.
"So do we." Demyx grimaced, stepping back and away from Axel.
"The Evil, it's coming. Sooner then what we expected." Quistis said anxiously, clenching her hair clip tightly in her hands.
"We know." Axel growled, feeling himself get annoyed and angry at the fact that things never went as they should.
"How?" Quistis looked at them.
"Sephiroth, Cloud's other half. He can see us." Demyx explained.
"Well, they have a bond, it is understandable." Quistis nodded.
"Cloud doesn't even believe in the prophecy!" Axel snapped, tugging frantically at his hair. Demyx took hold of his hand and stopped him.
"Leon doesn't want to be in it. He doesn't want any part of it." Demyx sighed, sadly, looking back at Quistis.
"I don't want to push Squall or Cloud……but it won't be long before every one is thrown into a war. A war that they have to be prepared." Quistis hissed, eyes looking down to the floor. She was not sure of what to do any more. Every one looked to her to lead them, and tell them what to do next. She couldn't be focusing on just one person right now, but she could not help it, though…she could not help thinking of him….
"Quistis?" Demyx placed a hand on Quistis' shoulder. He could sense something was troubling her, and causing her pain, but she was too strict to let it out and talk about it.
"The worlds, all of them will be in trouble. Not every one will just stand still and let it happen." Quistis muttered, an image of blond hair with emerald eyes and scar adorning the face, flashed through her mind.
"I need to tell the others. You two should go back. Be careful." Quistis muttered, stepping back and rushing off.
"Love. It plagues her." Demyx muttered, looking at her retreating back. He knew what she was going through. He probably could bet that Leon felt the same way she was right now, when every thing was going down hill and he had to make a choice. Demyx could not bear to be a leader, he knew he couldn't.
"She's afraid for someone." Axel nodded. He was afraid for someone as well, he glanced at Demyx.
"She isn't the only one plagued by love." Demyx looked at Axel, smiling sadly.
"What?" Axel frowned, feeling like he had just missed something there. Demyx shook his head and sighed, looking away from Axel.
"What's wrong? Demyx?" Axel frowned, taking hold of Demyx's arm trying to get him to look at him.
"Nothing." Demyx tried to get him off, tugging at his arm frantically.
"I can sense it, Demyx. What is it?" Axel pleaded.
"Look, I'm just worried, alright? I need to go back to my charge." Demyx wrenched free and vanished. Axel sighed and vanished after him. He'd let it slide for now, but later, he'll get Demyx to talk.
………………………………………………..
Leon was unsure of what to do about what Sephiroth said. He needed to warn every one, but by doing so, he would have to reveal and accept who he was. Was he ready for that? Did he have a choice?
"Leon, you promised you would eat." Aerith said, staring at the still full plate in worry.
"I don't have much of an appetite." Leon sighed, playing with his food, moving it from on side to the other. He knew he should eat, but he wasn't hungry any more.
"You only ate two apples the whole day." Aerith scowled. Every one turned to look at Leon at that. Demyx and Axel appeared at that moment as well. Leon groaned, knowing full well he was going to get hell from every one. Except Cloud of course, because he was too good to care about anyone that was not Aerith, Leon thought bitterly.
"You do look a bit gauntly." Yuffie looked at Leon. Leon huffed and brought a spoonful of food into his mouth. Might as well humor them, since he did not want to get into a fight with them right now. Besides, his side was hurting and his head was throbbing. He knew he needed to get a check up, but he had enough with being fret over not eating, which was not his fault. Besides, he'd gone through worst before, and he had been at an younger age!
"You need to eat more." Tifa advised, not liking the way the skin hanged of Leon's frame.
"Fine! I'm skinny! I get it! I'll eat better!" Leon snarled, stuffing another spoonful into his mouth.
"We are just worried about you." Tifa scowled, getting annoyed at Leon. She was just worried about him.
"Thank you, but I'm fine." Leon snapped, knowing she was just worried but he was not in the mood in the moment. Tifa just glared at him but went back to eating.
"Leon….we need to talk." Demyx whispered. Leon sighed and stood up, picking his plate up.
"I'm going to my room." Leon muttered, turning around and heading of to his room. Cloud followed Leon out of the room with his eyes. Leon needed to be checked, he had fought with Sephiroth and he became more worried now, that Aerith had mentioned Leon's eating habits. He looked over at Aerith who was looking at Leon's empty chair, sadly. She looked up and smiled at Cloud, before resuming her eating.
"Cloud, get a move on. I need to talk to you. Now." Axel hissed, already moving to Cloud's room. Cloud grumbled and just stood up, leaving without a word.
………………………………………
"Leon, we need to prepare. You heard Sephiroth." Demyx started, reaching over and poking Leon's ribs, making Leon hiss and flinch in pain.
"He could be lying." Leon muttered, batting Demyx's hand away and sitting on his bed. Demyx followed and poked him in the head.
"He could, but are you willing to take that chance?"
"Besides, he was telling the truth. Our time has been caught short." Demyx frowned as Leon let out another hiss, trying to get away from Demyx, but he just held on to Leon's head and began probing it, ignoring Leon's cursing and threats.
"What you want me to do?" Leon snapped, finally pushing Demyx away from him.
"Tell everyone! Stop hiding!" Demyx huffed, putting his hands on his hips.
"I am not hiding!" Leon snapped, grabbing onto his sides in pain.
"You are scare, I know you are. So am I! But my job is to guide and protect you." Demyx sighed, kneeling down and placing his hands on Leon's side. A soft glow emerged from his hands, healing Leon's ribs.
"They won't believe me." Leon sighed. "Even if I did tell them."
"Cloud, you have Cloud. He can vouch, he'll belief….I hope." Demyx muttered, getting up and touching Leon's head.
"The one, the one that was fretting over you. He is Cloud's guardian angel?" Leon frowned, looking at Demyx with a hint of curiosity. Demyx nodded as he began to heal Leon's head injury.
"Yes, his name is Axel." Demyx flushed a bit, but fought it down.
"You like him." Leon stated, not asked, stated. He knew Demyx enough to be able to tell when those light blue eyes glimmered with joy. Every time he saw Axel, Demyx would brighten.
"A little bit. That is not the point, we are not discussing my love life, or lack there of. Evil is spreading quickly, too quickly." Demyx changed the subject. He did not bring Cloud up, because he knew the Leon did not want to think about it right at the moment, especially because he knew that Leon figured who Cloud was by now.
"Something has to be done. They have to be prepared. The other worlds, like Sora's." Demyx said that name because he knew it would get Leon to react if nothing else would. Leon cared for the keyblade master, like a little brother and would try his best to protect him.
"You are right, if it is true, we can all be in trouble. Sora needs to be warned." Leon ran a hand through his hair, in a nervous gesture. He was unsure of what to do next, because his whole life he'd been trying to put it all behind him, now he was bringing it all back at one time. Not only that, but he was Cloud's light….that made his heart flutter.
………………………………………………
"What do you want Axel?" Cloud scowled, still a bit worried about Leon.
"Look, you have to get over yourself. Danger is coming." Axel glared at Cloud, worried about Demyx.
"I have no idea what you are talking about." Cloud hissed, turning around, making his way over to the door.
"Of course you don't, you've never notice that birthmark, have you?" Axel drawled, walking over to Cloud and touching his left shoulder blade.
"I have no idea what you are talking about." Cloud tensed up, and his hands formed tight fists. Axel knew that Cloud was lying, but he had no time for Cloud's denial.
"Yes you do. You don't want to admit, because you are scare. You are being a little girl, and avoiding your destiny." Axel cooed mockingly, wanting to shake Cloud until he snapped out of it.
"Shut up, Axel!" Cloud turned and snarled at Axel, getting angry.
"Ohhh, scary. Now, things are going to get ugly, real soon." Axel informed Cloud.
"Look, I want nothing to do with whatever is coming!!" He snapped, turning around and placing his hand on the doorknob.
"What about Leon? Are you going to let him fight by himself?" Axel asked softly. Cloud froze, whirling around and looking at Axel, searchingly.
"He can see you. He lied." Cloud stated, eyes immediately softening.
"Yeah….he is scared Cloud, and afraid of what will happen to him. If you deny who you are, you are denying Leon, and putting him at risk. Do you want that?" Axel felt bad for using Leon, but he had to make Cloud understand. He had to make sure Cloud would finally accept his fate…for Demyx's sake.
"I can't…I can't help him….I'm not strong enough…" Cloud muttered, shoulders slumping. He couldn't help anyone before, how he could he now? That is why he kept away from Leon, because he was not worthy of him. Cloud was a screw up, he could not defeat Sephiroth, and he could not help those he loved before. What if he messed up now and Leon left him, forever?
Axel sighed and ran a hand through his hair. What was it with people being low on self-esteem? Leon. Cloud. Demyx. Roxas. Sora. Him. Was it a new trend?
"Look, the past is that the past. Got it memorized?"
Cloud glanced up at Axel.
"It is not fair when you use Leon." Cloud sighed, shaking his head. Axel smirked, realizing that he had just gotten the big, cold, jerk, stupid Cloud to agree with him! He would have danced his happy dance if he had not a reputation to up hold.
………………………………………………….
Normally, the island was bright, full of light. Not now…not now….the only light left was that of the moon and the stars. All other light was gone. Every house was cold and empty.
"Riku!!" Sora cried out, frantically as he ran down the street. He looked around wildly, trying to find anyone.
"Where are you?!" Sora began running down another street, frantically. His keyblade was held tightly in his hand, ready for anything.
"Sora!" A voice called out.
"Kairi!" Sora ran towards the direction of where the voice was coming from.
"Sora!" Kairi ran over to him, wrapping her arms around him as her body shook in fright. She was scared; this was like nothing she had experienced before.
"Are you okay?" Sora looked down at her. She smiled weakly and nodded, stepping back.
"I can't find Riku." She muttered, desperately. Her eyes began tearing, fearing the worst.
"I know, me either." Sora whispered, biting his lip, not wanting to believe Riku was gone as well.
"Sora! Kairi!" Kairi and Sora looked at each other, grins on their faces before whirling around.
"RIKU!!" they called out, running over to where he was. Jumping and hugging him tightly.
"We were so scared!" Kairi babbled, burying her head on his chest.
"I'm fine. We need to get going, though." Riku looked around, scanning for a way out. He had no idea what was going on, but they needed to get out.
"Do you know what is going on?" Sora asked, worriedly. His whole family had began acting all spiteful. Every one in town had become mean and revengeful. The sky had darkened and no one noticed. The sun did not come out any more, and the more time passed, the dimmer the moon became. Soon all light would disappear.
"Yes, we need to go to Radiant Garden. We need to warn them of this." Kairi spoke up.
"Come on! We need to go!" Riku hissed, noticing shadows getting up.
"Heartless?!" Kairi panicked, stepping back.
"No, those are not heartless. No idea what they are." Sora muttered, keyblade up. He pushed Riku and Kairi back.
"To the island, we need to go. There is a portal there." Sora muttered, motioning them to get a move on. They took off, running as fast as they could.
………………………………………………….
"Hmm, do you think they believed me?"
"Yes."
"Why so sure?"
"Because I know them, you idiot."
"I love it when you talk dirty."
"The world may come to an end, and that is all you can think of?"
"Why? What better things to do then? If the world is about to end?"
"How about trying to save said world?"
"But there are heroes that are meant to do that."
"Yes, and now we'll be two of them."
"This means we are heading back to have another chat?"
"Yes, they have taken Destiny Island. Sora and then will be making their way to Radiant Garden."
"This speed won't last, though. They are just going fast trying to take us by surprise and finish it quickly. Once they realize it is not that easy, things will slow down."
"Yes, oh wise General. We have to make sure then, they realize it is not that easy. Won't we?"
"You are the scientist."
"Let's go."
"Fine, but I better be getting something for being a hero."
"You will."
"Then what are we waiting for?"
……………………………………………………………….
"Fudge! They are gaining on us!" Sora hissed, feeling his lungs begin to burn.
"Look, I can see the portal." Kairi pointed to the mass of darkness.
"Hurry!" Riku pulled at them, as he kept on running . His chest fell like it was going to explode. There was a burning sensation in his lungs and his legs were weakening. He could not stop, though. Stop could mean dead, and he was not willing to die so young. They'd manage to make it through the Kingdom Hearts, they could make it through this one.
"I can't!" Kairi wheezed, feeling her legs give out on her.
"Yes! You can!" Sora took hold of her hand and helped Riku run.
"Hurry!" a voice called out from the portal.
"Sora? What is going?!" Sora turned and noticed Selphie. Selphie was running towards them from the other direction. He noticed there was a blanket of darkness behind her.
"Selphie! Hurry!!" Sora called out, offering his hand out to her. Selphie rushed over to them.
"This world does not have much longer before it is consumed by the darkness!" the voice called out to them. Selphie reached them, latching on to Sora's hand.
"Who are you?!" Riku called out, a bit breathlessly as they came closer to the portal. The voice sounded familiar, and he was unsure why. He couldn't figure out where he'd heard that voice before.
"I'm trying to help, now come." He extended his hand to them. They had no choice but to follow. Riku jumped forward, taking his hand. The man pulled them in before the darkness could reach them. The portal vanished from Destiny Island, as the whole island became dark with no light whatsoever.

Leon gasped, feeling a sudden pain.

Cloud shuddered, feeling a sudden rush.

this whole light and darkness reminds me of Yugioh…..oh well, Cloud is weird, I know…but he is weird….Leon, is of course, the caring person….but defensive….he is the light, he can't help but be nice…just like Cloud can't help but be a frking jerk! Anyways, I'm still a bit pissed off that Cloud does not try and help the restoration committee in KH, since when you ask him he is all like, I don't live here so I don't care…poof! Anyways! Luv ya and comment!
