Prologue : A Guide and an Auction (Rewritten)

Sora's POV

If there's one thing I liked about school, it was my friends. They were the people that made me laugh when I was bored, that brought a smile to my face when I was depressed, they were the people that made living worthwhile. To me, making a new friend was like winning the lottery.

That's why I agreed when Principal Aerith asked me to 'take care' of the new student, Riku Yoshida. (Just a random name I picked out from a list) She said that since I was the new kid not too long ago I'd be able to relate to him more than other students and that I probably wouldn't be as judging.

So, the next morning I went to school twenty minutes earlier than usual to wait for him. I heard that he was one of those top students. You know the stereotype; all A's, lots of friends and athletic too.

I stood outside by the doors leaning on the wall, waiting… and waiting… and waiting. Finally, half an hour later, I saw a black Limo pull up in front of the school entrance. I straightened, dusted myself off and ran my hands along my spiky hair, making sure that there were no loose ends.

The limo door opened and out came a tall, muscular, silver haired boy. I moaned internally; why was he hot? This was not part of the plan! God! If this train of thought continued then…

Putting my thoughts aside, I walked up asked, "Hi, are you Riku?"

"Yes," he answered giving me a strange sort of stare, like he was sizing me up.

"I'm Sora Harada, your guide to the school," I told him.

"Guide?" he asked.

"Yup, I'll be showing you your classes, introducing you to everyone and telling you everything you need to know. Is that okay with you?"

"Yes."

"Do you ever say more than one word?"

"Yes," he answered with an amused smirk.

I smirked right back. So maybe he wasn't like the rest. "Follow me, the bell's about to ring," I said. He nodded. I walked to the door and opened it for him. I just hoped he didn't think of me as some butler. He passed by, allowing me better view of his body; and – to say the least – I was impressed. He had a great figure, very masculine yet he moved with confidence and grace. I couldn't help but stare; taking in every detail.

"What are you looking at?" he asked with a smirk.

That definitely snapped me out of my trance. "Nothing," I stammered, "I haven't been getting much sleep lately. Sorry, I probably just zoned out."

"You don't look that tired." He replied still smirking.

"Whatever." I muttered. I walked past him, silently commanding him to follow me to homeroom.

He may have had a nice body but he certainly didn't have a nice personality. But that didn't bother me, I was always getting these crushes; but getting to know the people usually killed them completely.

Riku's POV

"Class, this is the new student, Riku Yoshida." The teacher announced. "Now Riku, would you like to tell us about yourself?"

"Actually, I'd rather not."

"Oh, well okay" he said, giving me the eye. "Why don't you sit there?" He pointed at an empty seat by the window, right next to Sora. Without saying a word I walked to my seat and I sat down.

"Hey!" Someone said, "I'm Selphie." I looked behind me and saw a cute redhead batting her eyelashes at me. I smiled at her and winked. She suddenly blushed, sighed and looked away. I rolled my eyes at the typical behavior. Scanning the people in the classroom, the words 'easy prey' came to mind.

"Well, well, well." It was Sora. I turned my smile to him.

"Nice to see you too." I winked at him. He smiled uncertainly. That was strange, normally whenever I smiled or winked or even looked at someone they were totally smitten. No matter what gender they were. I shrugged it off and assumed that he was strong willed.

"So what is this? The 6th girl you've flirted with so far?" he said with disdain and I thought I heard a hint of something else. Was it jealousy?

"Are you jealous?" I asked with my signature smirk.

"And that would be the 4th boy." he muttered. Again, he resisted. Why does he insist on breaking my record of biggest heartbreaker in town?

One month later

Sora's POV

"Bastard," I muttered. I was in class, watching Riku flirting with yet another girl and boy. The teacher wasn't even looking. This wouldn't vex me if he wasn't flirting with both at the same time.

"Sora, are you listening?" Yuffie asked? Yuffie was my best friend, well; one of my best friends along with Kairi and Tidus. "When are you going to ask him out?"

"H-huh?" I stuttered. "What are you talking about?"

"Just give up! You know you like him." She was rolling her eyes. That was Yuffie she never held back, she always said what she thought even if it was a bit annoying.

"Yuffie, you've got a screw loose." I told her.

"It's not like you haven't got a few unscrewed gears yourself." She snapped. I turned around and found her giving me her deadly glare. Yuffie could be scary when she was mad. In fact, she beat the whole class in dodge ball, she beat most of the boys by sending it to their crown jewels.

"I did – past tense – like him before I realized what a jerk he was. AKA the 3 minutes in from when he got to school to when we went in on the first day," I whispered. She was right I did like Riku, when I first met him, he looked so hot. But then I realized what a pig he was and that was before he started flirting with every human in sight! He was still a bit hot though… but that was beside the point.

"Are you sure about that?" she said as she ran off.

Riku's POV

The bell signifying the end of class rang so I packed up my stuff and headed for the door, until I noticed Sora, who tripped and dropped all of his books. I walked over to him and decided to help him out. "Hey handsome," I said.

He looked up and rolled his eyes, "Buzz off."

I smirked, "Playing hard to get, huh?"

"You're kidding right? Why would anyone need to play hard to for you; when you're the world's biggest slut," he said as he tried to walk away. I blocked his way and moved closer to him. He backed away and into the wall looking scared and carrying the cutest pout. I was about to make a move but thought better of it. Sora was different than the rest, the direct approach wouldn't work.

"Hmm, you look cute when you pout, Sora." I told him as I moved out of his way. He ran off – clutching his books and keeping his down. I watched him walk off, scheming and plotting to get him as my own.

Little did I know that my big break was so very close.

Sora's POV

'I wonder what his plan is' I mused as I was taking notes in history class.

"Hey Sora! So have you decided if you're volunteering for the Valentine's Day auction?" my friend Kairi asked. I sighed. She'd been pestering me all week about the male sale as she sometimes called it.

"No." I told her simply.

"Come on!" she whined, "You'll get to serve a cute girl."

"Oh, really? What if someone like Ursula buys me?" I pointed at a chubby girl wearing a black and purple dress, that was full of small cartoon octopus prints.

"That'll never happen! In fact, I know a few cute girls who would love to buy you."

I raised my eyebrows. "Really," I asked; now interested.

"Yeah."

"Who," I asked her. And in 2 minutes she came up with 50 names. "Wow! I didn't think anyone would be interested."

"Are you kidding? That was only the shortened version of the list."

"So, the money goes to the school's music department?" I asked. She nodded. "Fine, I'll do it."

"Yes," Kairi squealed. She was a bit excitable.

Riku's POV

It was lunch time and I was sitting at my usual table when someone walked up behind me and pulled me out of my seat! I found myself facing Yuffie, the same girl who was encouraging Sora to be with me. "We need to talk," she whispered.

And with that she walked away, motioning with her finger for me to follow her. She took me to an empty hallway were he math classes were. (Naturally no one was there) "So what was it you wanted to talk about?"

"I want you to buy Sora at the auction," she said.

"What!" I exclaimed. She wanted me to buy Sora? I thought he hated this kind of thing.

"I heard him say he was going to be in the auction and well, I figure you two would be good together."

I just viewed him as a challenge. I guess I sort of liked him but I only wanted a bit of fun with the second cutest guy in town – I wasn't planning on us being u couple. Right?

"But he hates me!"

"No, he just doesn't like you," she informed me. "He could actually love you if you are willing to do what needs to be done."

"What do I need to do?"

"You need to control yourself. Sora's very delicate," she said.

"Oh."

"Anyway, be at the auction tonight with a lot of cash, apparently a lot of people want to buy him. By the way, if you hurt him I'll castrate you." Without warning she turned around and ran off; leaving me standing alone in the hallway; my mind still trying to understand what had just happened.

Sora's POV

"Next up is Sora Harada," Principal Aerith announced.

I sighed and stepped onto the platform. "Okay, let's started the bidding at $100, anybody? Okay! How about $105? Hmm? $110? Yes!"

I tuned out after that. I looked around the crowd and spotted Yuffie with a big smirk on her face. I narrowed my eyes at her, wondering if what she was up to when a loud voice snapped me out of it; "Sold to number 52 For $250!"

$250? I didn't think anyone would bid that much on me! I stepped off the platform and went behind the stage curtains and waited to meet my buyer. I waited for a few minutes when a familiar voice said, "Hello slave."

I turned around, filled with dread. It was Riku.
