Disclaimer: As we all know, I don't own Kingdom Hearts or its characters. We all know if any fan did, things could very well be different.
So, I actually wrote another fic. This one is completely finished and I'll just upload chapters in a timely manner/as I see fit/whenever I remember. And I do apologize if there are any errors and inconsistencies; I don't have a partner to read through and I do it all myself. Please bear with me.
And without further ado!
When Sora was four years old, he met the couple that would become his parents. He spent the first years of his life in orphanages, people treating him as though he were too weird or even ill, those running the places even questioning in admitting him to a hospital. Then one day, Xemnas and Saïx Lune walked in, hoping to perhaps begin the process of adopting a child.
Xemnas and Saïx tried time and time again for nearly three years, but no one would let them adopt. It wasn't because their home wasn't suitable, it was large and made safe because of their intentions of raising children. It wasn't due to work, Saïx worked from home as a writer and Xemnas was a well known and well respected surgeon. It wasn't because they had a record, only Saïx had a juvenile record, but in his defense, he was being bullied and got fed up after years of abuse, and it was only two punches to one bully's face; the bully's parents were uptight and defended their son despite the evidence. They were a happy couple, married for nearly six years at the time they met Sora. The only reason they were turned down constantly was because they were a homosexual couple.
Saïx had a feeling, though, that the day they passed a children's home in Radiant Garden, it was their day to succeed… their day to meet the child who would be theirs to raise and love. It was a week after Sora was transferred yet again. Three orphanages on Destiny Island, one in Twilight town, Two in Traverse town, and finally now in Radiant Garden.
Sora wasn't a problem child, or at least he didn't think so. It wasn't his fault strange things happened around him or that he saw things that scared him. This was why he was shifted around. "We should admit him to a hospital" was always thrown around, but no one bothered; they just shoved him off to the next place, pretty much telling them he was their problem. The only one who tried was Aerith, a woman who worked at the home in Radiant Garden.
Then they met. Sora got to meet Saïx and Xemnas and they hit it off well. That was when Saïx asked a strange thing.
"Now, don't go looking, but… you can see the lady in the doorway, can't you?" Saïx inquired.
"Yeah, the one with the braid around her neck..." Sora nodded, getting shy.
"I see her, too. I have the same gift as you, Sora." Saïx pointed out. "You know… if things go well, I think I can help you so it's not as scary. Even if we can't bring you into our family, I can volunteer here to help out."
"You… see what I see?" Sora asked.
"In a sense, yes." Saïx nodded. "Sometimes we'll see different things, sometimes the same. My older sister taught me that."
"I wanna learn… it's scary. I dun want it to be scary no more..." Sora mumbled. He crawled over and sat on Saïx's lap. "I wanna have a family, too."
"As do we. And we think you'll be the most perfect addition to our family." Saïx assured.
"What do you say, Sora? If we're approved… do you want to be our child?" Xemnas asked. "Even if we're not approved… we can fight for you. Fight because you have the right to be in a loving family."
"I'd like that." Sora nodded.
Aerith smiled as she watched them. And she helped them fight, vouching for them that they were indeed the ideal family for Sora. And after a year of being his foster parents, they fully adopted. And Sora became Sora Lune.
"Jeez, does this bitch ever stop talking? I swear, she's older than the crypt keeper. I had her when I was in school. It's a wonder her dentures haven't fallen out yet."
Sora didn't really want to say he was haunted, he felt that haunted was more negative, but dammit, he really wished this ghost would stop hanging around him and talking so much.
"Worse yet, I think your parents had her, too. You know what, she's living proof that dinosaurs walked the earth."
Sora made a choked sound. "Yes, Mr. Lune?" the teacher asked.
"Um… may I go get a drink of water?" Sora asked, trying to clear his throat.
"Class is almost over, take your backpack with you." the teacher stated.
"Thank you, ma'am." He put his stuff in his bag and left the classroom, going down the hall and getting some water from the fountain. He was glad he wasn't seen as a problem child at school; if he asked to leave class early, if he had a reason, teachers saw no issue.
"Oh, nice save, Sora." the ghost said, leaning against the wall by the fountain. "Good thing you don't have Mademoiselle Bitch-tits for a teacher, she'd give you a detention for making a sound."
"I'm glad she got sacked before I got into high school; I like my French class." Sora said before getting a drink. "And Marluxia, can you please stop making commentary in class? It's very disruptive."
"It's so lonely, though, you're the only one who sees me." Marluxia complained as the bell rang. "I have to entertain myself somehow."
"Well not by insulting my teachers." Sora whispered, trying to go unnoticed but sighing when he was giggled at as students passed him. Yup. The school's fluffiest haired freak. Sora, AKA Ghost Boy. Just because Sora saw ghosts and others didn't did NOT give them the right to make fun of him… but he long since gave up and did his best. At least he had one friend who was okay with it, even amazed by such a thing and eager to learn.
Zexion Frost, the son of Dr. Vexen E. Frost. Like Sora, Zexion was adopted, but Zexion didn't spend a day in the system; his parents legally had Vexen as his godfather should anything happen to them, so the moment he was orphaned, Vexen adopted him. Vexen was a bright man and worked with Sora's daddy, Xemnas, at the hospital. He was logical and practical, but also the sort to look into the unknown for the sake of learning. The world is vast and full of many unknown things; the sooner we dismiss them, the sooner we become a race of no intelligence. We must step forth to understand these anomalies, even if we cannot see them. After all, we cannot see the wind around us, but we know it still exists. What an admirable and professional way to approach the subject of "ghosts", or "energy anomalies" as Vexen liked to call them. And that way of thinking was what Zexion adopted from his father.
"Marluxia's here?" Zexion asked, walking up to Sora.
"Yeah. And still talkative." Sora responded.
"Can't blame me; I went nearly a decade with no one seeing me… then you show up? It feels good to talk to someone who can hear me." Marluxia pointed out.
"Yeah, yeah, fine, I'm actually used to people thinking I'm a freak, but please, don't let other spirits get the idea that I see and hear you guys." Sora said, not even trying to hide it now, looking at nothing and talking to nothing, at least in the eyes of others. The only one he knew who could see these was Saïx; everyone just saw a boy seeming to talk to himself. "Because honestly? I don't need to be overwhelmed. Remember last year?"
"Yeah… hospitalized for a severe panic attack. I'll do my best." Marluxia sighed. "I do like having someone to talk to, though."
"Then cross over to the light." Sora said, walking through the hall with Zexion, ignoring people making comments about him.
"Overrated." Marluxia scoffed.
"Necessary for your well-being." Sora pointed out.
"Give it up, Sor," Zexion chuckled, "that's just how he is."
"Why me?" Sora whined. "Why couldn't I just be gifted with vocal talent? Why must I suffer like this with spirits?"
"Well, at least you have singing added to your resume." Zexion pointed out.
"Yeah, well, singing isn't going to keep the spirits away." Sora stated. "Anyway, let's just go to the cafeteria… thank the school board for allowing free periods to some students who don't need to fill in classes."
"A sophomore and already with a free period; we typically don't get that until senior year." Zexion chuckled.
"And that's coming from the junior." Sora snickered.
"Lucky bastards… we had no such thing as free period when I was a student." Marluxia pointed out. "Anyway, my dear little Sora, I'm going to go cause problems for the boys; the boys this period love trying to peep in on the girls in the locker room." He ghosted a kiss on Sora's cheek.
"Get them good with poltergeist activity." Sora said, smiling and watching as the pink haired ghost phased away.
"Bullies?" Zexion asked.
"Peeping toms." Sora clarified.
"Oh, this will be good." Zexion chuckled a little mischievously.
Heyo, lovelies!
Well, here we are! The start of another fic! Now, I do have all the chapters written and ready to upload, but that doesn't mean you can't do reviews, give me your opinions, or even say what you hope happens and such.
Now, I'm not gonna make you give a certain amount of reviews before the next chapter; I wrote this fic, and whether or not you want it, I'm uploading the chapters.
