46. Twilight Town

"I had another dream. I think Kairi's in trouble!" You burst into Leon's open doorway the next morning still wearing your pajamas.

Leon was sitting at his desk, apparently organizing his notes, when you interrupted. He turned towards you with eyebrows raised in surprise. "What do you mean?"

"What's going on?" Cloud walked down the hall with most of a piece of bacon in his hand. He swallowed the rest of it as he walked up to you.

You glanced over at the blond. "I had a dream that the Organization is going after Kairi- well," you interrupted yourself thoughtfully, "it was just one of them and I recognized him. He showed up on Destiny Islands and he was trying to get Kairi to go with him, but Pluto showed up and led her away, which was weird because he also used one of those dark portals."

"You dreamed this?" Cloud looked lost. "You recognized him?"

You took a deep breath before launching into a short yet rambling explanation of the dreams you had been having, hands moving excitedly as you spoke. After you caught Cloud up, you continued, "And this time I saw the red-haired one. He was alone- there were other, smaller nobodies there with him- but he said his name is Axel." You glanced between Cloud and Leon.

Cloud had completely forgotten about his bacon as his hand fell down to his side. "So you're- what? Having visions from the universe in your sleep?"

You shrugged. "Sure, if that's what you want to call them."

Leon had been taking notes. He looked up and asked, "Do you know where Pluto took Kairi?"

You shook your head. "There was a space- just empty blue space- that they were in before they went through another portal. Someone else in an Organization cloak was there, very briefly before they went through the second portal, but their energy was different than Axel's. I don't know what they were doing. Maybe they were the one that opened the portals? It didn't feel like they were... bad."

"What about Axel?" Leon asked, looking down at his notes. "It doesn't exactly seem like he'd want to switch sides."

"...No," you relented after a melancholy pause. "But, maybe I just need to talk to him," you said, regaining some hope.

"What!?" Cloud let out next to you. "No way! Not happening."

Surprised, you turned to Cloud. He was looking at you indignantly.

"This guy just tried to go after your friend and you want to talk to him?" Cloud continued.

"Well... yeah," you said. "I think that's what the universe is telling me."

Cloud moved to run a hand through his hair in frustration, stopped, saw the bacon in his hand, then ate the rest of it angrily, eyes narrowed at you.

Not sure what to say to his aggressive breakfast devouring, you turned to Leon. "I know it seems a little crazy, but there's so much the universe doesn't show me, it has to know what it's doing more than we do."

Leon had one arm across his chest holding his other elbow, while that hand held his chin thoughtfully. He looked at you as if trying to see into your head. Brow still furrowed, he told you, "I think you're right."

Cloud let out a huff.

Leon's eyebrow rose at Cloud's response, but he continued, "You've survived your encounters with the Organization so far, I'm sure you can do it again, but we still need to be careful." He sighed and set his notes on his desk. "Before we worry about that, though, we have to figure out where Kairi is."

You pursed your lips thoughtfully, then suggested, "Maybe Sora would know? He gets weird dreams, too."

Leon nodded once, then told you, "Go give them a call. It's worth a shot."
