Disclaimer: Don't own, wish I did, but I don't!

Notes: Nothing big in this one, just a bit more on the Axel and Demyx relationship, as well as more into Leon and Cloud's oh so developing relationship!

…………………………..

The Truth

……………………………

Leon gasped, feeling like something had stung him.

"Leon?" Demyx placed a hand on Leon's arm, having felt a sensation.

"A world….a world has been lost." Leon muttered. He could feel his heart clench painfully. He couldn't think straight, and for a few seconds he caught a glimpse of sparkling blue water, palm trees, sand and a paupau fruit…..

"What do you mean?" Demyx frowned, steering Leon over to the bed, helping him seat down and calm down.

"I can feel the light disappearing. It was as if part of me was being ripped away." Leon explained. His hands were shaking and he tried hard to think on the images and place them into an answer, but he couldn't think straight.

………………………..

Cloud couldn't keep back a shudder.

"What happened?" Axel frowned, sitting up, having also felt something.

"I had a sudden rush of energy." Cloud muttered, looking down at his hands. His eyes widened as he noticed the wisps of darkness surrounding his hands. He felt energized, nothing big, but he wasn't tired any more. He felt good actually.

"It's starting." Axel muttered, looking at the wisps of darkness.

…………………………

Quistis stopped and looked around. She felt it. She couldn't help but hug her arms.

"Quistis, did you feel that?" Rinoa appeared right next to her, looking at Quistis with worried eyes. Rinoa was unsure of what was going to happen. The darkness that was taking over was making it hard for her to use her sorcery. Quistis was also finding it hard to use her Blue magic.

"A world has been lost!" Zell appeared next, light blue eyes wide with panic. He knew it was going to happen, but it was different when it was actually taking place.

"We need to do something. It will spread to other worlds." Irvine appeared next to Zell, green eyes focused on Quistis. She was their leader at the moment. She was the oldest and since they were younger she had always known what to do.

Quistis sighed and tugged on her hair. She wasn't sure of what to do. They needed to advise and tell the other worlds. Showing themselves would be against the rules, but she couldn't just stand and watch the worlds be taken over. She couldn't just stand by and watch him die….not him….

"We need to tell them. We need to go around and warn people." Quistis stated firmly. It was her decision. She was worried and doubting herself, but she had to make a choice fast, and at least the y would be helping.

"Okay, then. To the worlds it is!" Zell grinned.

"We have to be careful, this evil can dangerous to us as well." Rinoa looked at them, warningly. They all nodded, for they all felt the drain in their powers.

"Don't worry, Rin. We need to protect our charges." Irvine nodded at them. They all looked at each other and smiled.

"I guess we will once again go out and fight." Quistis sighed.

"I just hope my baby is safe." Irvine shrugged.

"I hope we don't get all our energy sapped." Rinoa sighed.

"Well, we won't know unless we go out!" Zell smirked.

"Meet back here." Quistis barked out, before vanishing. Every one else vanished along with her.

………………………….

"We made it just in time." Hiss.

"Are you alright? Let me see your hand?" leather clad hands reached over.

"I'm fine."

"No, you are not. You really think you can lie to me?"

"Sephiroth, I'm fine." Golden eyes glanced up, glaring into turquoise eyes.

"Sure, and I'm the sugar fairy." Sephiroth sneered.

"Look, we need to take them to the others." Xehanort motioned over to the teenagers.

"Haven't we helped enough?" Sephiroth sneered.

"A world has just been taken over. The evil is worst than darkness if it can injure me like this just by gracing the skin. The light won't stand much of a chance." Xehanort glared at Sephiroth, daring him to refuse again. Sephiroth growled, but walked over and picked up the two boys. Xehanort smirked and picked up the girls. They both took of towards the Restoration Committee Headquarters.

Aerith sighed as she sipped some tea. Yuffie was humming while trying to fix a tower out of cards. They were waiting for Tifa to get home. It was pretty dark already. Leon and Cloud were still in their rooms. She was getting worried about those two. They liked each other, but they just did nothing about it. Cloud was his cold self, and did not change no matter how much Aerith tried to get him to talk to Leon. Leon on the other hand was being reclusive and instead of being cold he avoided Cloud.

"Jeezh! It is cold out there!" Tifa shuddered, closing the door behind her.

"You get the stuff?" Aerith stood up and grabbed the bag full of groceries.

"Yes, I got all the stuff." Tifa grinned, rubbing her arms now that she was not caring the groceries no more.

"Good! I want cake!" Yuffie grinned, looking up at them. Aerith laughed and shook her head. Suddenly, she got this feeling, this bad feeling. She frowned and looked up. Something was wrong, but she could not pinpoint what.

"Have you two, felt this feeling?" Aerith asked them, before going over to the refrigerator and putting the groceries away. She was a bit hesitant, afraid she was being paranoid.

"What feeling?" Tifa frowned, sharing a look with Yuffie. She felt something, but she was hoping it was nothing.

"Like something is wrong. Like something is going on but you don't know what it is?" Aerith turned to look at them, worriedly.

"Well, sometimes, I feel a bit anxious. Like something is coming." Tifa just shrugged, trying to act like it was nothing.

"Yes, I've gotten a feeling like something big is going to happen. I just never paid much attention." Yuffie looked at Aerith, quizzically. She did not like talking about that, serious stuff was not her forte.

"Do you think something bad is going to happen? Like heartless?"

"I don't know. I just have this bad feeling." Aerith sighed.

All of a sudden, a knock broke them out of their thoughts. Tifa frowned and opened the door. She couldn't stifle a gasp when she saw Sora, Riku, Selphie, and Kairi lying there.

Yuffie looked over, eyes widening before jumping up and rushing over to them.

"Leon! Cloud!" Tifa called out, for Cid was at the marketplace still. Aerith rushed over, hand covering her mouth and stifling her gasp.

Leon flinched but stood up and made his way out. His eyes immediately locked on the unconscious bodies.

"Sora!" Leon rushed over to them and kneeling next to Sora, checking for a pulse. He pushed back the dizzy feeling, focusing on Sora.

"What's going on?" Cloud came out of the room.

"Come, we need to get them inside and lay them to rest." Aerith whispered, afraid of waking them or was she afraid that they would not wake up. Leon nodded, taking Sora into his arms. Tifa took Kairi and Cloud took Riku up. Aerith smiled and helped take Selphie to a room.

"They have no wounds." Leon came out of his room after laying Sora down. Cloud grunted coming out of his room, having just placed Riku down. Leon was not sure what was going on, but he guessed the world taken was Sora's. Cloud glanced at Leon, noticing the worried look he would get before when Sora would take a long time coming back to Radiant Garden.

"Well, how did they get here?" Tifa frowned, coming out of the room she shared with the girls, followed by Aerith.

"Yes, someone must have brought them here." Aerith pointed out.

"We won't know until they wake up." Yuffie walked over to them, hands in her pockets.

"Hey, I'm…What's with the long faces?" Every one turned to look at Cid as he walked in.

…………………………………………………………………………….

Demyx was pacing in his room. Leon was in the house, so he was safe. He had felt a bit anxious leaving him, but he needed to find out what was going on. Except, he came here to find no one around. He was not sure where every one was at! He needed to talk to them and tell them about the lost world!! He also needed to go and find out what he needed to do and how was Leon suppose to help out? What did they mean about sacrifice? Would Leon be fine? Would Cloud be okay? What about the world's that had been taken over? Would they come back to normal in the end? He had so many questions but not enough time to research them!

"Demy?" Axel's voice broke him from his thoughts. Axel was standing there, on the door way, looking at him.

"No one is here!" Demyx hissed, hands shaking. He was scared, annoyed, angry, confused! He was so unsure of what he needed to do, of what he should be doing. He did not want to make a mistake.

"Demy, come on. You have to calm down." Axel walked over and held Demyx's hands, trying to keep them from shaking. He was also worried, but he could not let Demyx see that.

"How can I calm down?! A world has already been taken over!" Demyx snapped, pulling away from Axel.

"But we can't help out if we start freaking out, so calm down." Axel wrapped his arms around Demyx's shoulders and pulled him to his chest.

"I know…it's just….what can we do?" Demyx closed his eyes and leaned against Axel. It felt nice, to be held by him. He felt safe and secure, but he knew that it wouldn't last.

"Cloud, has began to accept, after taking out the Leon card." Axel sighed, running his hands down Demyx's back, soothingly.

"Leon is willing to tell every one and take things into the open. I just don't know when." Demyx sighed as well, melting into the embrace.

"Well, well. Number 8 and Number 9 all cuddled up. I always knew there was something between you two." A smooth voice broke in. Axel whirled, pulling Demyx behind him and a fireball in his hands. It was a reflex he had not lost since his nobody days.

"Xenmas?" he gasped. Demyx's eyes widened. They had pondered the idea that the others could be around as well, but they had never seen signs of them. Before long, they decided that they were probably the only ones.

"No, not Xenmas. The name is Xehanort." Xehanort's golden eyes twinkled.

"What? How?" Axel looked at him, dumbfounded. He was still unsure on how he, himself, got there.

"Well, I was the last to die, so you haven't seen me around because they did not want the same thing that happened with you two happen with me. The rest are too busy going around worlds and warning them." Xehanort shrugged, not really caring much about them.

"What do you want?" Axel frowned, arms still wrapped protectively around Demyx.

"Destiny Island has been taken. This evil can easily harm us." Xehanort frowned, looking down at his right arm. He stretched it, before racing it up and showing his bandages.

"As long as it's a small grace, you'll be able to heal. If you get caught, though, you may vanish forever." Xehanort warned them, before turning around.

"You will be needed soon, down below. Explanations will be needed. It will probably speed up the believing process if you two are there." Xehanort began walking away.

"Wait!" Demyx called out, running after him.

"Hmm?" Xehanort just stopped, but did not turn to look at him.

"What do you know of what's going on?"

"This being is trying to finish things with one blow, which is why everything is moving faster then at first thought. If every one survives the first wave, things will slow down….a bit…." Xehanort then walked off.

"If he is here, then the others should be around as well, right?" Demyx asked as Axel walked up to stand next to him.

"May be, we'll see them someday later on." Axel shrugged.

"If, there is a later on." Demyx sighed. Things just got better and better. There was no telling what would happen next. He never thought he would be seeing his superior ever again, but there he was, alive….well, he was an angel….not exactly alive….

………………………………………………………….

Leon sighed as he turned to his side. He groaned, pulling his pillow on top of his head, trying to muffle Cid's snoring. Who decided that Cid would get the sofa any who? Something about him being forty something and having a weak back. Leon snorted at that. Please, Cid acted like he was twenty most of the time, he only acted old when it was convenient. Ouch! Leon pulled the pillow from his face and turned his head to glare at the offending object that had poked him. He couldn't help but blush as he realized it was Cloud. They had moved the coffee table aside, so Leon and Cloud shared the floor. Cloud looked so peaceful. He looked like an angel, with his blond locks falling on his face. He has a soft smile on his lips, unlike when he was awake with a frown all the time, or a scowl, or he was saying some derogative stuff to him escalating into a big huge fight.

May be Leon was falling for the melancholic blond. Sure, may be he had already fallen for the blond. He was a jerk, a cold hearted jerk that made Leon look like the sugar plump fairy, but he was handsome and he had his moments. Of course, Leon knew he did not make things easier with the whole fighting and snapping and just plain out avoiding Cloud, but its not like Cloud would ever see him as boy friend material…or just as friend material actually.

Leon flinched as he felt pain once again. He glared at Cloud and he could almost swear that Cloud was doing it on purpose. Leon sighed and shook his head. Apparently, the floor was too small for Cloud. Cloud was pressed up close to Leon, and Leon was already pinned up to the sofa and had no more space to move. Cloud just kept on inching forward and his elbows would hit Leon when he moved. Leon glared at the offending blond, but he didn't want to wake him up. Leon reached over and straightened Cloud's arm, slowly. Cloud was still sleeping peacefully. Leon placed Cloud's arm down, before resting his head on said arm. He laid still for a few minutes, but Cloud did not wake up. Leon sighed in relief, allowing his eyes to close as sleep finally took over lulled by Cloud's warmth.

………………………………………………………….

Sora groaned, turning to his side, burrowing his head on the soft pillow….pillow?!

Sora bolted up from the bed and looked around. How did he get there? Where was he? It wasn't until he noticed the gunblade resting against the wall, that he realized where he was. There was only one person who had that blade. Leon! Sora grinned, but then frowned because it still did not answer how did he get there? Sora looked over at the door as he heard footsteps. The door opened to reveal silver hair falling over green eyes.

"Riku!" Sora grinned, before putting his hands on top of his mouth, remembering to keep his voice down.

"There you are. I figured we were here after seeing all the wolves in Cloud's room." Riku grinned, walking over to seat on the bed.

"The girls?" Sora asked.

"They are still sleeping." Riku sighed, laying back and staring up at the ceiling.

"Riku, how did we get here?" Sora frowned, not remembering at all.

"I've been thinking about it….I don't know…..I remember the guy in black….and his voice….and I think…."

"What is it, Riku?" Sora frowned, believing he was not going to like the answer.

"It sounded like Ansem….Xenmas…..Xehanort….whatever he goes by…." Sora gasped at that.

"But he is dead!" Sora frowned, eyes looking around the room apprehensively.

"I know….but who else has that voice?" Riku sighed.

"I don't know…….I don't know…." Sora muttered.

……………………………………………………….

"You think we should wake them before every one else comes down and sees them?"

"Nah, it will be funner to have every one see them."

"You are mean." Demyx shook his head, arm laced around Axel's. Axel shrugged, but the smirk never left his face. He was leaning on the wall, hands stuck in his pant pockets. He was still a bit mad at Cloud, and well, he could not pass a good opportunity to cause him hell. Demyx on the other hand cared about Leon and did not want to embarrass him, but he did agree that sometimes Leon needed to relax, so he just lean on Axel's shoulder and looked on.

"Here they come." Axel grinned as the sound of giggling and footsteps reached their ears.

"How you two sleep?" Aerith asked Kairi and Selphie. Kairi had changed into a red skirt with a pink top that Aerith had let her borrow. Selphie was on the other hand wearing yellow shorts with a yellow top that Yuffie had let her borrow. Obviously, one could who resembled who there. Yuffie and Selphie hit it off and Kairi of course, talked to Aerith more, the whole princess deal.

"Fine, just fine." Kairi grinned as they made their way down the stairs.

"When you guys find the house?" Kairi asked curiously.

"Oh, Leon found it. We all pitched in and bought it. It's close to the market place." Tifa grinned as they walked down to the living room, immediately stopping in their tracks. Cid was sleeping, of course, on the couch. The big tattoo that said Vincent was no surprise to any of them, may be Selphie, but what was surprising, were the two boys on the floor.

Leon's head was resting on the crook of Cloud's neck. Cloud's arm was wrapped around Leon's waist. They were sleeping, peacefully. They both soft smiles playing on their lips.

"You think we should wake them?" Yuffie giggled, taking out her camera and snapping pictures. Tifa took out her cell phone and snapped some pictures as well. She could send them to Cloud, she bet he would love her for it.

More steps were heard as Sora and Riku made their way down. Sora was wearing blue pants with a blue shirt, having taken the liberty of going through Leon's wardrobe. Riku on the other hand was wearing all black, since Cloud did not have much variety in color.

"What's going on?" Sora frowned, but was immediately shushed by the girls. They pointed to the floor.

"I did not know they were going out!" Riku muttered, shocked at seeing Leon and Cloud so intimate, especially Cloud. Leon was always fretting over Sora, so it was normal to see him all human but Cloud? He was the human glacier, just he would never say that to Cloud because he valued his life too much.

"Yeah, Leon never told me. I thought he would of told me." Sora pouted.

"Would you guys stop the talking?" Cid slurred, sitting up a bit groggily. Every body just kept still, looking at Leon and Cloud who had yet to wake up. Cid frowned and raised an eyebrow, before looking down. He rolled his eyes, before stretching his arms and neck.

"Leon! Cloud! Stop your cuddling and wake your asses up!" Cid snapped. Every gasped, shocked that Cid would disturb such peaceful picture.

"Go to hell." Cloud grumbled, eyes opening up to glare at Cid. He was way to comfortable, and it had been so long since he'd slept so peacefully.

"You wish." Cid sneered, reaching over and grabbing his shirt.

"It is a bit too early to be awake! I do not want to deal with world wide destruction right now." Leon groaned, nuzzling into Cloud's chest, unaware of what he was doing. Cloud was smirking smugly, arm tightening around Leon's waist.

"Are you two wearing pants?" Yuffie piped up.

"What?!" Leon sat up immediately and looked around, before looking down. He looked down into Cloud's eyes and immediately froze. His face became bright red as he snapped out of it and immediately stood up. This answered Yuffie, because he was wearing pants, not his normal leather but pants nonetheless. Cloud sat up and glared at Yuffie who ruined everything.

"Come on Cloud, every one is already awake." Leon muttered, beginning to fold his blankets, not looking at Cloud, afraid of what it was he would see.

"I hate mornings. It's barely what, noon?" Cloud sighed, standing up as well, picking the blankets up. He grabbed them and just rolled them up.

"Don't just pick them up. Fold them." Leon snapped at Cloud, taking them from him.

"Fold them?" Cloud looked at Leon like he was crazy.

"Yes, we don't have a lot of space to just shove blankets into place. Especially now with four extra people!" Leon huffed, taking the blankets and putting them away.

"Now that we are all awake. We need to tell you guys something…." Sora walked over and sat down on the sofa.

"The person who brought us here…." Riku hesitated and looked at Sora.

"It was Ansem….Xenmas….Xehanort….whatever he goes by this time.…"
