8. A days work.

___

The day after the party, the group dropped Leo of at the Yen Sid's tower, before they themselves left again, they needed to explore the world of darkness as Kairi seems to not have awoken yet.

Leo relayed all of Ienzo's prior information. Unfortunately, Yen Sid didn't seem to have the answers yet, towards this problem himself either.

However Leo didn't mind as much, and asked if he could learn some magic, and also how to use his Keyblade better.

Master Yen Sid used to be a great Keyblade wielder himself in the past.

Yen Sid smiled slightly and gathered an continuous amount of Heartless in the other room for him to fight with, to his heart content..

Leo while he kept fighting, slowly started feeling another energy grow inside of him.

It felt vague at first but it was there..

___

In the end Leo had a lot of fun!

He used different kinds of ways to defeat the Shadows, and also showed Yen Sid some moves he can use with Chakra by his request.

Master Yen Sid then gave Leo a book on basic elemental magic spells for him to learn on his own.

Afterwards he send Leo back to the Land of Departure..

___

So for the next two weeks Leo trained against everyone, when they had the time.

When on his own Leo slowly mastered all the basic spells from Yen Sid's book, he wondered why Sora never did this.. Then he remembered, that Sora wasn't really the.. Studious type.

He used a special way to train..

The cheat called Shadow Clones, he didn't know for sure it would work, but luckily it did.

Terra, Ventus, Roxes and Axel all called him a cheat.. He also found out that he is compatible with all elements even with his Chakra.. The others then also taught him to open up a portal by himself.

This was what Leo loved to learn the most.

All this time he hadn't heard from Master Yen Sid yet, but he kept himself distracted so it wasn't really a big problem for now.

___

It's currently still in the early morning and Leo was still fast asleep, suddenly he started frowning, he suddenly opened up his eyes in shock..

"Damn, what a nightmare.." Leo sighed slightly.

He has been having some nightmares from time to time, all back of the days when he was still back in his own world, the accident with his girlfriend and that eternity in the Darkness had a lasting effect on him..

*Sigh* 'I feel kinda home sick..' Being here it feels amazing, but Leo has a lot of unfinished business.

Itachi's memories made him learn a whole lot about this subject and the emotions behind them..

Leo now knew that it was better not too leave things unfinished.. If at all possible..

He got up, and started doing some exercises to get his mind off the nightmare, he then decided for a change of pace and went to visit Twilight Town for the day.

He also remembered to leave a note just in case, he didn't want too worry the others if they returned while he was away.

___

"WOW! So this is Twilight Town, huh? It's quite a beautiful town. But, hmm, what should i do?" Leo wondered as he started looking around.

After walking around awhile, Leo found the local bulletin board, 'Hmm, maybe a small job to help someone..' Leo smiled, it sounded quite interesting.

He looked through all the job listings and suddenly Leo noticed something.

==================

Notice: Looking for a band/singer in order to promote our new merchandise shop!

Pay is negotiable! We'll also provide your group with a set of customized merchandise each per person!

Interested parties please visit our store at xxxxxxx street.

==================

Leo nodded while thinking carefully, he thought it could be quite a fun experience.

He asked a person for directions and got moving.

From the moment he walked inside the store all girls eyes landed on him, Leo nodded politely at them and quickly asked for the manager.

___

"Oh, my? Aren't you just adorable!" A 'uniquely' dressed man said, as he saw Leo his eyes shined with anticipation.

Leo's mouth twitched slightly, "Ah, um, thank you.. My name is Leo. I saw on a bulletin board earlier, i saw that there was a request for a band and or singer, i wonder if it's still available?" He asked politely.

The managers eyes went wide, "YOU'RE HERE FOR THE GIG DEARIE?! But, where are your other members?" He inquired.

Leo nodded, "Yes, i'm currently here alone at the moment, me and my 'brothers' are on vacation here in Twilight Town. We didn't have anything planned for today, so i came on my own, in order too ask about it first.." Leo lied.

He can play mostly anything himself, he is just going to use a Shadow Clones to make up for his band members.

The manager nodded with a smile, "The job is actually still available.. But, are you perhaps able to give me a preview?" he asked carefully.

Leo nodded with a grin, "That's fine i'm the vocalist.."

____

Leo then started singing the lyrics of Simple and Clean of the first Kingdom Hearts game that he knew.

__________________________

"When, you, walk away!

You, don't, hear, me say.. please..

Oh baby, don't go!

Simple and clean, is the way, that you're making me feel, tonight!

It's hard to let it go..

You're giving me! Too many things..

Lately! You're all I need! and more,

You smiled at me.. and said-

__________________________

Everyone listened with a smile and the girls around were blushing slightly, as they all watched him sing.

The Manager felt excited as he kept listening, a goldmine just walked into his store..

________________________

Hold me..

What-ever lies beyond this morning..

Is a little later on!

Regardless of warnings, the future doesn't scare me at all!

Nothing's like before!

_________________________

Leo took a deep breath and looked at the manager who looked extremely happy.

"That was wonderful! I would definitely want you too promote this store! Leo dear! Can you and your group perhaps go this afternoon?" The manager asked in anticipation.

Leo nodded, "That's perfectly fine.. Though we also need the instruments, as we didn't bring any on our trip.." He asked unsure.

He wondered if the manager had some instruments lying around.

The manager nodded in confirmation.

He then told Leo he had already prepared mostly everything beforehand.

As for the payment, he offered Leo's group five thousand Munny, but Leo declined and said three thousand was more than enough and to just have him make some extra sets of any merchandise the manager could make, he wanted to give all his friends a gift and some extras for himself.

The manager accepted gratefully, because this would benefit him more in the end, if more people wore the merchandise the better.

Leo just gave a random group name for his band of four brothers, before they agreed on a good time.

The manager quickly acted and told his employees to quickly go out and hand out pamphlets.

Leo quickly left after letting the manager take some of his measurements.

He just told him all his brothers were around the same size as himself.

He could actually feel the predatory gaze of the manager follow his back, as he 'walked' away quickly..

___________________

Leo ate something at the same restaurant Sora had worked in during the Kingdom Hearts three game, the food was pretty awesome. However Leo unfortunately didn't get the chance to meet with the Twilight Trio, nor was he able to see little Chef unfortunately..

___

Leo after exploring some more places he knew about, after he had finished eating.

Looking at the time, Leo saw it was starting to get near the meet-up time for his performance job.

So Leo quickly found himself a secluded alleyway and used Shadow Clone Jutsu too create three clones, he then made them change the colors of their hair, eyes and clothing..

"Let's GO!" Leo shouted, """YEAH!!!""" His clones shouted in unison..
