Chapter 1: Departures

Sora

I turned eighteen this past month and I decided to get my own place, my very own bachelor pad. Well it's not just my place and it's not really a bachelor pad for me. I'm rooming with my best friend Riku, and it is a bachelor pad for him, but I'm a taken man. I have the most amazing girlfriend, her name is Kairi and I doubt that I will ever find anyone more perfect for me.

My parents opposed the idea of me leaving, but I really don't care. Not that I'm cold and mean, but they're not my real parents anyway and they're part the reason my brother and I are separated.

My real parents died when I was about four and my brother, Roxas, was about three. We were put into an orphanage for a couple months but then we were moved into separate foster homes. My foster parents only wanted to take one foster child and Roxas' foster parents only wanted a blond foster child. So we were separated, which was total bullshit, because what type of people would separate two brothers who had just lost their parents.

Roxas and I still talk and visit each other, and now that I'm eighteen we decided to petition, so that I could take legal guardianship over him. We were lucky because the judge sympathized with our history and the judge decided that since Roxas was going to be a legal adult in a year that it was okay.

Roxas is going to be moving in with Riku and me in about a week, once he gets out of school. It'll be great to have him back.

Roxas

"Roxas, come downstairs" my foster mom, Kathy, called.

I paused the song playing on my ipod and put it in my bag, before making my way downstairs.

"Do you need something?" I asked to her.

"Yes," she said, "I need us to talk about you moving away. I think you need to rethink this decision before it's too late."

"What are you talking about." I responded. I glanced away from her with a sigh. "Look I know you don't want me to leave and all, but your not my mother Kathy and I really would rather live with my brother."

Before Kathy could respond, we heard a car horn beep from outside the house. I looked out the screen door too see a silver van parked at the curb. I let out a big smile as I walked out to the van.

Kairi waved to me as she stepped out of the van. "Hey," I said as I gave her a hug and lifted her into the air, "How are you?"

"I'm fine as always." she giggled when I picked her up.

"Looking very fine," I commented.

"Stop trying to flirt with me," she said then she stuck her tongue out at me, "Your still a minor."

"But you're the one who's acting childish," I replied. "Let me go get my stuff from upstairs, then we can head out."

We were taking some of my things to Sora and Riku's condo, which is about 2 hours away, because I'll be moving there in a week. Kairi had offered to help transport my things because she is the only one who has a car big enough, thanks to her mayor father, to move all my stuff.

"No problem," Kairi said, "We'll help you bring everything down."

"We'll..." I questioned

"My cousin and I," she pointed to a blond girl sitting in the passenger seat of her van. She waved to the girl urging her to come out to where we standing. "Roxas this is my cousin Naminé. Naminé this is Roxas. Naminé is staying with me and my father. The two of you will be going to Destiny High together next year."

"Hey," I said as I looked her up and down. She just smiled and made a slight wave and I guessed she was the quiet type.

"Come with me," I said to her as I ushered away from the house, "Since you're such abeautiful girl, I'll show you a good time in Twilight Town, my treat, while Kairi handles the work here." I gave her one of my best smiles and slipped my arm around her shoulders, and I also swore I heard Kairi complain about my laziness.

I like for people to remember and so I always make a point to have an interesting first impression, especially if it's a pretty girl.

I loved the look of surprise that jumped onto her face, followed by the imminent strawberry blush that lit up her face. "Umm.. y-you can't b-be serious?" She questioned.

"Naah I'm just joking with you. How else does a guy get to hear that beautiful voice of yours."

"Stop messing with the girl." Kairi joked with me, "First you flirt with me, then you flirt with her. Don't nobody want you, Roxas, just give it up."

"I can't help myself. Your cousin is just too cute." I said as I winked at Naminé. The blush on her cheeks went from strawberry to cherry.

"Ok ok, lets get a move on," Kairi called as she walked towards the house, " We've got lots to load and places to go."

This weekend is gonna be fun!

"I'm leaving!" I told my mother, as I gathered most of my things from my room.

"Look," my mother sighed, "I'm sorry your father and I didn't tell you about this sooner. We had both decided to wait until you turned 18 and you don't know how hard it was for me to keep that vow after your father died. Please don't leave, your all I have left. Come sit down and relax. We can talk about this."

"NO!" I startled my mother, "Just tell me their names,' I asked as a carried my bags to the trunk of my Cadillac.

I got into the driver's seat and started the car, then I looked up to my mother and gave her my most pleading gaze that she always gave into.

"Their names are…"
