Chapter 5: Family.

"Riku!" Kadaj called his younger brother; this was something he had to see. Soon enough the silver haired teen was by his side.

"Riku! Look!" Sora cried showing Riku picture, he didn't question why he was even there in the first place.

Riku gasped at the sight of his brothers. Sure it had been eleven years, but he still recognized them. Kadaj wore an odd smile on his face; it was a mixture of joy and sorrow.

Leon came up the stairs seemingly lonely. "What is it?" He asked. Seeing the picture everyone was staring at he frowned.

"How do you know them?" Riku asked passing the photo to Leon. "My brothers I mean"

"The silver haired three?" Leon asked raising an eyebrow.

"You think?" Kadaj snapped, how many people are born with silver hair and aqua eyes? Leon shot a glare in his direction. Shit, Leon could see him! No, he couldn't, could he? It would be bad if he could.

"Yes" Riku answered quietly, this might be he only chance at finding his family.

Leon cleared his throat just because it seemed to fit. "Well, Reno introduced them to everyone. He's the one with the red hair, next to Yazoo." He explained pointing out the guy he was talking about. "If you don't mind me asking, what happened?"

"Well," Riku took in a deep breath, he wasn't really sure he wanted to share. Losing your family is the most fun topic to discuss.

"You don't have to," Leon said quickly. "I shouldn't have asked."

"No I-"

"You can see me can't you" Kadaj cut off Riku. Once again Leon looked to him. Riku looked over to Sora who seemed confused.

"Sora, go check on Kairi for me." The sixteen-year-old ordered. He didn't wait for an answer either; instead he pushed him towards the stairs. Sora tried to ask why but Riku just ignored him "Sora just go!"

After a bit of arguing Sora left and Riku was left with his brother and Leon.

"So, can you see him? My brother, Kadaj." Riku asked after a moment of silence.

Leon looked him in the eye before answering. "Yes" he admitted.

"Why didn't you tell us?" Kadaj asked curiously. It didn't make sense to him, the guy wanted help, right?

"I could tell the others didn't notice you, Kadaj. You only seemed to acknowledge Riku." Leon explained. "Didn't know if you wanted them to know."

"We… didn't" The spirit replied. "But, that's not the point. I can't seem to find in trace of a ghost, seems to only be active at night. If you don't mind, I think it would be best if we were to stay the night" He suggested.

Leon nodded "I have two guest rooms..." He began.

"Sora can stay on the coach" Riku volunteered his friend with out even asking the poor sucker.

Once again Leon nodded. Riku was headed down stairs to tell the others. This left Leon and Kadaj alone.

"Do you really want to know?" Kadaj asked suddenly. Leon seemed to be confused by the question so he explained. "Do you want to know why our brothers left?" Leon slowly nodded seemingly unsure.
