Leon silently started down a freshly made path that headed straight down to the old battlefield. It had been created so that they had quicker access to the open area in the case of an emergency. What emergency were they anticipating? A person being down there alone and being overwhelmed with Heartless. Sora looked down at the path as he followed Leon, feeling a bit cautious. He sensed an unerving amount of darkness in the air, and he knew it didn't come from his own deep thoughts. But Leon still didn't have his gunblade, so maybe he was worrying over nothing. "Leon, do the Heartless still gather here?" he asked, making his voice sound light and casual. Leon made it to the bottom of the path first and kept walking, only briefly looking over his shoulder when he answered Sora's question. "Yes," he said simply. He kept walking forward, leading Sora to the center of the large area.
"Still with me, Sora?" Leon called over his shoulder, the two of them having just entered the Bailey. It was unusual for Sora to be this quiet. Normally, he was joking around and getting those around him to laugh with him. Today, though, things felt much more serious. "Yeah," Sora said, nodding even though Leon couldn't see him. After that very short conversation, they walked in silence again. A few minutes later, they came to the cliff overlooking the empty battlefield were Sora had fought a thousand Heartless.

Still, Sora couldn't help but be distracted away from the world he had grown to miss. A lot was wrong...his memories, for exampe. He had acquired false memories and untrue feelings at Castle Oblivion. It was hard to separate them from reality; almost impossible. And he couldn't just let things be sitting around like that. He needed to sort out his thoughts before they moved on. But he couldn't ask his friends to make that kind of sacrifice for him. They had already put their lives on the line for these memories he got. He was already in their debt, and he couldn't bring himself to ask them for any more favors. This part of his journey was all about him, not involving them much at all.
Okie dokie. =) Oh, you remember than one-shot I told you about the other day? I published it on fanfiction. x3
Sora followed Leon out of the home, shutting the door behind him. Hollow Bastion was strangely quiet as they headed in the direction of the Bailey. Leon didn't have his weapon out, so Sora silently guessed that the Heartless were taken care of in this world. If that were the case, then he was happy for his friends. They deserved a time of peace so they could rebuild their home world. Leon walked a few steps in front of Sora, not bothering to turn back and see if Sora was alright. It may have seemed like he was being rough on the kid, but Sora wasn't a regular kid. He was the Keyblade wielder, destined to save the worlds. And to do that, he had to stop following childish impulses and grow up. Leon appointed himself to help Sora do just that.
Break- Three Days Grace
Ah, I see. xD Can't wait to see what you're thinkin!
Leon crosses his arms across his chest, staring at Sora silently. that kid was acting a bit panicky, which was unlike him. He rose to his feet, starting over toward the door. "C'mon," he said, motioning to the door with his head. Sora looked up at Leon, wondering what he had in mind. But Sora had no reason to ask questions; they were probably going to find Roxas and Riku, wherever they were. He took the movements slowly, having a bit of trouble getting out of his dream-like fog. He turned his feet off the side of his bed, looking down and then releasing a breath. Could he even stand...? "Gotta get back up on your feet sometime, Kid," Leon said, recalling that Sora hated it when he was called anything but his real name. But he needed him to pull himself together; he was the Keyblade Master. And he had a job to do. Sora gave Leon a faint glare, but the look dissolved in a matter of seconds. He couldn't afford to have any of his friends angry with him; he needed them now more than ever. He sighed and set his hands on the bed beside him as he pushed himself up onto his feet, successfully standing without assistance. Leon nodded slightly and then opened the door, heading outside. He heard Sora's footsteps behind him and he wore a small smile. It was time for Sora to get back in the game.
Not Alone- Linkin Park
He can act up if you want; I figured we'd just go by the past events and then have him sent home because of all that. But if you want to add...
"You passed out in Castle Oblivion," Leon said casually, his voice laid back. "Riku and Roxas brought you here." He leaned forward, arms on the table as he watched Sora from his spot. The brunet didn't appear to be too well, but that was to be expected after being unconscious for the past two days. "Riku...and Roxas..." Sora said, furrowing his brows at the thought of them. He winced and brought a hand to his head, having a splitting headache. Despite that, he tried to get a better understanding of the situation. "When'd that happen?" "Two days ago," Leon responded, speaking facts. He had never been one to use ten words when one would do, and that hadn't changed even with Sora. He may have spoken more often and less monotonously with Sora, but old habits died hard. Sora's eyes widened, the teen gripping his head more tightly. "Two days?!" he repeated, shocked. But it hardly felt as if he were unconscious at all! He had seen the last memory of the Castle, and then...and then everything just went black. And he had found himself waking up here in Hollow Bastion. Unbelievable. But completely true, unlike everything else I've learned recently.
Riku and Roxas eventually show up and want to go help Sora, but Leon and Yuffie keep them back. They all watch the fight to the end, and Sora...
Sora furrowed his brows and rolled onto his back, opening his eyes as he set his hands firmly on the bed beside him. He sat himself up, eyes widening beyond their normal width when he inspected the area around him. Huh? I'm in Hollow Bastion. He winced and brought a hand to his head, feeling as if he were in a daze. What...? "I see you're awake." Sora turned his head at the voice, seeing a familiar friend sitting at the table across the room. "Leon?" he said, the question already being spoken in his tone of voice. What am I doing here?
Let's see if I can remember. xD Riku and Roxas are out, either fighting Heartless or checking out Ansem's computer. Sora wakes up and Leon takes...
Two Days Later Sora groaned, rolling over on the soft bed that belonged to none other than Merlin the Magician. Unknown to him, Riku and Roxas had managed to make it out of the Castle with minimal fighting and somehow, Riku had come with the idea to take him to Hollow Bastion. He must have remembered that Sora had many intelligent friends here. After he had passed out in Castle Oblivion, his friends were worried. But he hadn't woken up since then, so that was another thing that he didn't know. One thing that he did know, though, was that his memories concerning the Castle were now complete. And he was wishing he hadn't gone at all, for it had put him and his friends through a lot of pain.
Neh, I think those two should be good enough.
Sora heard the voice, though it was dim in his head. Somebody was calling out to him, but he couldn't respond. His eyebrows returned to their normal positions as the pain faded out of his senses, as well as everything else he sensed, the brunet fading out of consciousness.
Somehow, I pictured her too. xD
