The Sun and Moon
Chapter one
3rd Person POV
Long ago there were two kingdoms
Long ago there were two kingdoms. These kingdoms were profoundly linked, although no person knew this. The kingdom of Sun was under attack, even though they didn't know until it was far too late…
--
They could here the thundering sound of horse hooves' on the path headed toward the Sun kingdom. The twins ran into the middle of the path, clasping hands tight as they cried. They were covered in dirt, soot, and blood. Tears streaked down their faces. The horses came around the bend. The leader of the group pulled the reigns on the horse and held his hand up, to halt the rest of the group.
"Please, please, help us!" The twins cried in unison. The knight climbed down from his horse.
"Young princes of the Sun Kingdom, where are your guardians?" He asked.
"Beyond the path! Please do not take us back!" They cried together. The knight, who was tall with shoulder length brown hair, he also had a scar diagonal across his face.
"When did this happen?" The knight asked.
"Before the sun rose! We woke to screams and the servants came and took us out the back! They snuck us away before going back!" The blonde cried. The small brunette did not speak, he only sobbed with his brother.
"Cloud, please come forward!" The knight called behind him. Another knight came forward, this one had blonde spiky hair, like the little brunettes.
"Yes, my lord?" Cloud asked.
"Please take Prince Sora and Prince Roxas to the Moon kingdom! You will be escorted by 4 other guards. The rest of you will come with me." The brunette informed. Cloud came forward and picked up the Princes, one to each hip. He walked back to his horse setting the two small children on the saddle before climbing on himself. Then they galloped back to the neighboring kingdom.
"Everyone else please come with me!" The brunette said. They made their way to the Sun kingdom. When they arrived it was horrifying. They stayed on their horses as they looked for any survivors.
"Sir Leon!" Someone yelled to the brunette, identifying him to us as Leon. Leon made his way over to the knight that had called his name.
"What is it?" He asked. The other pointed. Leon turned his eyes to a horrid site. There on two spears were heads the King and Queen of the Sun kingdom. Below them was a note scrawled out in big intricate letters. Leon climbed down from his horse and walked over to it and ripped the note off of the spear. What he read made his eyes widen.
"Sir? What's the matter?" The other knight asked.
"We need to get back to the Moon kingdom immediately!" He yelled, letting the paper drop from his hands. The paper asked to anyone who read it, "Where are the Princes? Why are they not dead?"
--
Cloud rode as fast as possible back to the kingdom of the moon. The two boys on his horse cling to each other for dear life. Upon arrival in the kingdom, Cloud hopped off his horse and grabbed the Princes. He quickly went inside the castle.
"Sir Cloud, the King did not expect you back from the sun kingdom so quickly." Another knight said. Cloud walked past the knight and into the throne room. The blonde prince clutching Cloud's left hand, and the brunette prince grasping his brother's hand. The King looked up with a look of shock on his face as Cloud came forward.
"Why are you back so early Sir Cloud?" The King asked.
"You majesty," Cloud paused to bow, "The Sun kingdom has been attacked."
"…What?" The King asked.
"Yes, I was not among to troops who visited the battlefield," Cloud said, "although, the Princes caught us on our way there." It was just then that Cloud realized the presence of the young Prince, by his father's side.
"Riku, take Prince Sora, and Prince Roxas up to your room, and have one of the servants help clean them up. Then why don't you all play together, I'm sure Axel would be delighted to have new play mates!" The King said, faking happiness. The Prince, Riku, stepped forward and took Roxas' hand.
"Let's go play!" He smiled happily. After their departure the King returned his attention to Cloud.
"When did it happen?" He asked.
"Prince Roxas says before the break of dawn. He says that the servants snuck them into the woods before going back to the castle." Cloud replied. Leon slammed through the doors.
"My Lord, The King and Queen's heads' were found on the stake at the ruins! A note was left. The attacker is looking for the princes. We must get guards on them immediately!" Leon pleaded.
"Their heads... How did the princes escape?" The king asked.
"With the servants help, the servants went back and were killed. There were absolutely no survivors. They were slaughtered, and burned." Leon replied.
"Who would be as brutal in the attack as to kill every maid, child, and elder?" The King asked.
"We do not know."
"Daddy?" Riku questioned from behind Cloud and Leon. Their heads all whipped around to see a young Riku staring at them all with questioning eyes.
"Riku, I thought I told you to go upstairs with your friends." The king said.
"I did, but the servants took them away to get them clean." Riku said walking up to his father.
"Well, Prince Riku, perhaps you should check and see if they are ready to play." Cloud said holding out his hand. Cloud loved children and helped to take care of Riku with all he had. Cloud lead Riku away to the staircase. As soon as they were out of sight the King sighed.
"The Princes of the Sun Kingdom will obviously stay here under our protection. Have them each assigned two guards." The King answered.
"Yes your majesty." Leon said with a bow before leaving. The King sighed again and stood up, going to the stairs his son had taken. He climbed them slowly, in thought about the current situation. Upon reaching the nursery room the King spotted Riku, Axel, and Roxas, but no Sora.
"Where is Sora?" The King asked. The maids turned and bowed.
"After his bath he would not let go of Sir Cloud, so they went down to the kitchen to get a snack." One maid replied.
"Thank you for watching them Aerith." The King said.
"Dad! Roxas won't play right!" Axel said running up to his Father.
"What are you playing?" The King asked, looking at the cards.
"Go Fish." Riku replied.
"Where's Sora?" Roxas asked looking up at the King.
"He went with Sir Cloud, to get snacks for you." Aerith told Roxas, smiling her kind smile.
--
"What should we take back to them, Prince Sora?" Cloud asked in a happy voice as the child looked at the different snacks. Sora was perched on Cloud's hip, laying his head on Cloud's shoulder he started to suck his thumb. Sora slowly ran his fingers over Cloud's silken shirt as if it were a blanket. "Sora?" Cloud said bouncing the child slightly.
"Apples…" Sora replied sleepily. He then yawned and continued sucking his thumb. Cloud grabbed several apples and made his way to the stairs. Ascending the stairs slowly trying not to awaken the sleeping prince on his shoulder. On his way up Leon saw him.
"Cloud," Leon said, earning him a good shushing from said person, "What are you doing with Prince Sora?" Leon whispered.
"He won't let me put him down, and when he does, he won't let go of my hand." Cloud explained. Leon chuckled.
"You look good with a child on your hip though." Leon said, kissing Cloud lightly on the lips.
"I have to go up to the nursery; I'm going to see if he will let me go while he's asleep." Cloud said smiling.
"I'll join you." Leon chuckled. They walked the remaining stairs to the Nursery floor. They walked to the room, and Roxas' head whipped around to look at them. Then he jumped off the floor and ran towards Cloud. He held his arms up to Cloud.
Cloud sighed he set the apples down and crouched down to pick up Roxas. Aerith giggled from where she watched the knight. Leon was smirking at him as Cloud stood back up and started walking toward one of the rooms.
"That's my room!" Axel yelled.
"Prince Axel, quiet please, Prince Sora is sleeping." Aerith chided.
"Yeah, but they're going into my room!" Axel whined. Aerith gave Axel a stern look that said 'Not one more word'. Axel huffed and crossed his arms, pouting at losing his room.
Cloud laid Roxas down with no problems, then when he tried to lay Sora down the little Prince whimpered and clutched onto him.
"Don't leave!" Sora cried, cerulean eyes snapping open and glassing over with tears. Cloud sighed and leaned back up still holding Sora.
"Sleep Sora, go back to sleep." Cloud soothed.
"You won't leave will you?!" Sora asked frantically, eyes the color of the ocean searching Cloud's face.
"No, I'll be right here when you wake up." Cloud said moving Sora so that he was cradled in his arms against his chest. Sora once again closed his eyes and started sucking his thumb. Cloud left the room and walked over to Leon.
"Couldn't lay him down?" Leon asked. Cloud shook his head. "Well, he did lose both of his parents this morning, and the last time he saw them was before he went to bed. Maybe he's a little traumatized?" Leon hypothesized.
"Could be, but it looks like I'll be the one looking after him." Cloud replied, sighing.
"Like I said, you look good with a child on your hip." Leon said smirking and lightly kissing Cloud.
"I'm going to our room." Cloud said. Leon nodded.
"I'll tell the King what's going on." Leon replied back. Cloud turned and headed down the stairs, little did he know that he had a little spy. Riku swiftly but silently followed Cloud down the hallway and to Cloud and Leon's room. Cloud opened the door slowly, trying not to jostle the young boy in his arms. He walked into the room and turning around to close the door he saw Riku.
"Riku! What are you doing out of the nursery?" Cloud asked.
"Isn't Sora going to sleep in my bed?" Riku asked curious.
"No, he isn't, he's going to sleep with me and Leon instead." Cloud told him.
"Oh… Then why is Roxas sleeping in Axel's bed?" Riku questioned.
"Riku, I don't want you teasing Sora; he won't stay with you because he's afraid." Cloud commanded.
"Who would tease him? He's an angel; he came from heaven to bless us with his presence." Riku smiled at Cloud. Cloud was befuddled by this.
"Why would you say that Riku?" Cloud asked.
"He's so pretty, and he has the most beautiful eyes. He looks the angel in my book." Riku said proudly, smiling one of the biggest smiles, Cloud had ever seen.
"Prince Riku, you should probably return to you room." Cloud said.
"Alright, but will Sora come back soon?" He asked. Cloud nodded.
--
"Prince Sora will not leave Cloud's side." Leon informed the King. "He won't even let Cloud set him down."
The King nodded, "I can see that he has become attached to Cloud. You and Cloud will look after him until he will live in the nursery." The King commanded, Leon nodded.
"What about Cloud's duties, Sir?" He asked.
"He may be relieved of them, until he wishes to return." The King sighed.
"Thank You Lord Sephiroth, it is very kind of you." Leon replied.
"Where is Roxas going to stay?" Leon questioned.
"Most likely with Sora. I will have some builders in there today to adjoin your two bedrooms." Sephiroth said.
"Certainly sir." Leon said, "What of the wedding arrangements?"
"They will go as planned. They must, for they are still of royal blood even if their kingdom is gone. They will marry on my sons 18th birthdays." King Sephiroth said.
"Should Cloud and I explain these arrangements to Sora and Roxas?" Leon asked.
"Yes, I would believe you should. They may not understand now, but in time they will." Sephiroth said.
"Of course your majesty." Leon said as he bowed and walked out of the throne room.
--
"Cloud!" Roxas exclaimed as he was brought into the room by Aerith. They were followed by a group of men with hammers and things. Cloud looked confused as his eyes landed on Aerith.
"Has Leon not told you?" She asked. Cloud shook his head. "Roxas and Sora's room will be conjoined to yours. You will be taking care of them since Sora won't leave you." She explained with a smile.
"Oh, well—" Cloud was cut short by pounding of hammers on the wall, and the boy in his arms stirred. Cloud rose quickly and took Sora out of the room as construction started. Sora's blue eyes opened to see Cloud and he looked relieved.
"Cloud, where's Roxas?" Sora asked.
"He's in my room Sora. Would you like to play with him?" Cloud asked.
"No! 'Cause if you put me down, you'll leave me! You'll be gone like Mommy and Daddy!" He screamed, tears building in Sora's extremely blue eyes.
"Shhh… Sora I won't leave you okay?"
"Promise?" Sora asked skeptically.
"Promise." Cloud Replied. Slowly Cloud put Sora down, but then a particularly loud bang from Cloud's room scared Sora. He screamed and started crying. He latched onto Cloud's legs until Cloud sighed and picked him up. Riku showed up moments later and was confused at what he saw.
"Why are you crying angel?" Riku asked. Sora lifted his head from Cloud's shoulder, sniffling slightly. "Angels are not supposed to cry."
Sora's expression was a surprised one. Riku smiled a warm, inviting smile at Sora. The Sora's small face cracked into a wide grin, stunning Cloud.
This was Sora's first smile since he had arrived at the castle. Cloud smiled at Riku then at Sora. "Sora this is Prince Riku." Cloud said as Sora looked up to him.
"Can we play together?" Sora asked and Cloud nodded. Slowly he lowered Sora to the floor. Riku walked up to Sora and grabbed his hand.
"Let's go look at my books!" He said walking toward the nursery, and pulling Sora after him. Cloud sighed and went back into his room to check on Roxas. Roxas was watching the men work at tearing down the wall.
"Roxas, don't you want to play with Axel?" Cloud asked.
"No, he's being mean to me! He won't let me look at his books, or play with his games." Roxas replied. Cloud looked surprised to hear how bizarre Axel was acting.
Cloud held his hand out to Roxas, "Well, lets go talk to him." Cloud said as they began walking to the nursery. When they reached the stair they could hear sobs and someone murmuring something. When they reached the floor the nursery was on they saw Sora with his knees to his chest. He was sobbing and shaking violently. Riku was trying, in vain, to soothe him.
Riku looked up to see Cloud and Roxas approaching. "Look Sora! There's Cloud! He's fine and Roxas is fine too." Riku said, this made Sora's little spiked head snap up.
Cloud stopped in front of him and Sora reached up to Cloud curling and uncurling his fingers. "Up!" He said. Cloud stooped to pick up Sora. Sora sobbed on Cloud's shoulder. Roxas grabbed onto Cloud's hand and they walked back to their room. Leon was in the hallway outside their room.
"What's wrong with Sora?" He asked as they fully came down the stairs.
"Sora went upstairs with Prince Riku to look at his books. He must've thought I was following, but I wasn't and he found out. Thus he started crying." Cloud explained.
Leon smirked, "Mommy was missed." He said mockingly.
"Oh hush up you…" Cloud said as they neared their room. It was almost silent in the room.
"Awww… Are they done building?" Roxas asked disappointedly. Upon entering the room though they saw the men were just cleaning up the debris.
"Why are they putting a hole in your wall Cloud?" Roxas asked curiously.
"Well, you and Sora are going to be staying in the room next door. I am going to be your caretaker." Cloud explained to the
"Why?" Roxas asked.
"Umm…" Cloud mumbled, "You parents went away on a trip for awhile."
Leon stared at Cloud flabbergasted. Cloud was smiling at Roxas who looked at him skeptically before going, "Okay!" in a happy tone and bouncing over to the bed. He laid down and closed his eyes.
Cloud went over to the bed to set Sora down to sleep but Sora clung to him like a magnet. "Don't leave me." He whimpered before slowly slipping back into unconsciousness. Cloud sighed before starting to lay down with the little boy next to him. The boy snuggled up close to him. Leon sniggered at the way the boy basically controlled Cloud. Cloud leaned up some and playfully glared at his lover.
"Mommy…" Sora whimpered, gripping Cloud closer. Leon started laughing hard as Cloud blushed at what Sora had called him.
--The Next Day…--
Sora awoke to see Cloud on one side and Roxas and Leon on the other side. He slowly picked up his head, looking at his surroundings before getting up and crawling to the end of the bed. He hopped down and trotted quickly to the door before opening it silently, and exiting swiftly. He closed the door behind him and walked until he found the stairs that lead up to the nursery. He climbed them quickly and silently. He reached the floor and walked to the nursery door. Upon entering he tried to decide which room was Riku's. He played a game of eenie-meenie-miney-moe (A/N: is that how you spell it?), before entering the right one.
Sora opened the door and pulled it shut before looking around at his dark surroundings. He spotted the bed and went over to it. He climbed up onto it and laid next to the sleeping occupant. The occupant stirred before their eyes fluttered open. He rubbed them before slowly sitting up.
"Sora?" Riku whispered. Sora just laid in the bed next to him, "Sora, are you okay?" Riku asked. Sora just snuggled closer to Riku, wrapping his arms around Riku's waist. Riku smiled down at Sora gently moving one of his hands to pet his hair.
"You're my angel…" Riku whispered as Sora fell back into a peaceful sleep, Riku soon accompanying him.
--
Cloud woke slowly, looking at the other occupants of the bed. He stared, slowly counting and recounting the occupants in the bed. Shock set in quickly as he realized that one was missing.
"Leon! Leon, wake up!" Cloud said shaking his husband. Leon opened grey orbs to softly glare at Cloud.
"What do you need Cloud?" Leon asked groggily.
"Sora is gone!" Cloud said. Leon sat up quickly looking around for the chocolate haired child. His eyes rested on Roxas.
"It couldn't have been the people looking for them, because Roxas is still here." Leon said, calming slightly. They hopped up and threw on some slacks. Then Cloud picked up Roxas and they went to look for Sora.
"Have you seen Sora?" Cloud asked the servants. They shook their heads.
Cloud went to search the throne room, while Leon went to search the nursery. He opened the door and it hit the wall with a loud bang. The Sound roused Aerith, and Axel.
"Have either of you seen Sora?" He asked.
"No, we've both been asleep." Aerith said.
"May I check with Prince Riku?" Leon asked. Aerith nodded and Leon approached the door. When he opened it he looked towards the bed and relief washed thorough him. There on the bed was Riku, asleep, with his hand on Sora's head, and Sora, asleep also, with his arms wrapped around Riku's waist and head in his lap. "Oh, Sora…" He let out a sigh of relief. Sora's eyes slowly opened to reveal his sapphire orbs.
"Leon…?" He asked rubbing his eyes slightly.
"Sora, you gave us such a fright!" Leon said, picking his up out of Riku's arms. Sora smiled at him.
"I'm sorry, please don't be mad!" Sora said, and as Leon looked at that cute, smiling face his anger was lost. If you could look into that face and still be mad you were a magician. After all he looked so much like an angel.
