After Death

Disclaimer: I do not own Kingdom Hearts; if I did I'd force everyone to start working on Kingdom Hearts 3 faster! But that's not going to happen is it…? *sigh* on with the story.

Chapter 1 – Just a Normal Day

It was just another ordinary day for Sora Hikari. He got up and got ready for school, went to his brother's room and forced him to wake up and went downstairs for breakfast.

"See you when you get home!" Aerith Hikari, Sora's mother smiled as she waved goodbye to her sons. (Leon, Roxas, Sora, and Ventus.)

Sora turned slightly and waved to his mother, a small smile planted on his lips. He would see her when school finished, right? He didn't know, but he hoped he would. Somehow he had a bad feeling about today though…

Yawning, Roxas Hikari looked out the window as his idiotic, pyromaniac best friend continued to throw notes at his head.

Finally getting annoyed by Axel he turned to shout at him to stop, but Axel was saved by the bell. Roxas glared at the red head as he grinned sheepishly.

Roxas stood up, grabbed his bag, and walked out the door. "Aww, come on! Don't give me the cold shoulder just cause of that!" Axel exclaimed from behind him, obviously chuckling. "You've had a lot worse than that from me."

Roxas rolled his eyes. "Whatever."

Axel smirked and ran up to Roxas, hugging him from his waist and kissing his cheek, sloppily I may add.

Roxas blushed a deep red that matched Axel's red hair. "S-s-stop it!"

"Aww, admit it Roxy! You like it."

"Quit harassing my brother..."

Axel looked behind him to see a sighing Sora. "Oh, hey Sora!"

Riku rolled his eyes from behind Sora. "Get a room."

Roxas blushed deeper and pushed Axel away from him. He coughed, trying to get rid of his blush.

"L-let's just get to lunch." He sighed.

Axel chuckled and nodded, deciding he had received enough embarrassment for now.

Once at the lunch room Sora and co. went to sit with the rest of their friends; which consisted of Ventus, Vanitas, Aqua, Terra, Kairi, Namine, Xion, Olette, Hayner, Pence and Selphie.

"Say, what would you guys do if there were a zombie apocalypse?" Selphie suddenly asked.

"Huh? Where'd that come from? Are you going crazy, never mind you already are crazy…" Hayner muttered.

"Hey, what's that supposed to mean?!" but everyone ignored Selphie, since this was normal.

"Hehe, I'd grab my hatchet and begin smashing their heads in." Vanitas smirked. They all stared at him.

"What, wouldn't you?"

"I guess I would." Riku shrugged.

"I'd do the same, but then I'd run for my freaking life." Sora said dramatically.

"I'd go into my basement and hide forever." Namine shuddered. Her sisters – Xion and Kairi - nodded in agreement.

"What happens when you run out of food and water?" Axel asked, leaning on his arm.

"Um, er… I guess I will just have to somehow make food appear out of nowhere." Namine grinned sheepishly.

"I'd take my Roxy and we'd run away together!" Axel cheered stupidly.

Roxas rolled his eyes and looked away, hiding his blush.

"What about you Riku, would you take Sor-Sor and run away with him?" Axel asked teasingly.

Riku rolled his eyes, already used to having Axel tease Sora and himself.

"Well of course, he's my best friend; I certainly wouldn't leave him behind." He sighed.

Axel puffed out his cheeks. "Hmph…"

Sora opened his mouth to say something, by the expression on his face he looked completely disgusted and shocked, however he was interrupted when the bell rang.

Sora stood up slowly, his face still as pale as snow; maybe paler.

Riku watched him worriedly. "Hey Sora, you okay?" he asked as the other stood up and got ready to leave. Sora shook his head.

"I s-saw… someone… eating Mr. Takisha's arm off…" he said quietly, his voice very shaky.

"Wh-what? Sora, quit messing around and tell me the truth." Riku said in a scolding tone.

"I'm fucking serious, Riku! I wouldn't lie about that!" Sora exclaimed, his voice still shaky.

Sora's outburst cause everyone to look their way, but their attention was soon caught by a scream; a loud, high pitched scream coming from the middle of the lunchroom.

Right there, a crippled and dirty looking man – who looked an awful lot like Mr. Takisha – was chewing a girl's wrist right off her arm.

Everyone there watched in horror. Some girls looked like they were about to throw up and some boys looked like they were going to faint.

"Holy shit…" Roxas muttered under his breath, breaking the pregnant silence in the lunchroom.

Loud screams and shouts suddenly started to burst out from the crowd. People began rushing out of the lunchroom, none of them waiting for the other, some even pushing people on the ground to escape.

Sora watched in shock, not moving. "Come on Sora, let's get out of here!" Riku exclaimed trying to pull the brunette away. Sora blinked and looked at Riku, a sudden burst of determination shining in his eyes.

"Yeah!" he nodded and began his way out of the lunchroom, Riku following.

Once they were out of the lunchroom Sora and Riku began their run out of the school. Sora suddenly stopped in his tracks. "What's wrong?" Riku asked, looking towards Sora.

"W-where's Roxas?" Sora asked with a sense of worry in his voice.

"I'm sure he's fine, now let's go." Riku said, trying to pull Sora away, but failing miserably.

"No way, not until I know he's okay!" Sora exclaimed. Riku sighed and rubbed his temples.

"Axel is with him, along with the others. I'm sure they're all fine. They can take care of themselves, we'll find them later now please let's go!"

Sora was about to protest again, but he saw the pleading expression in Riku's face.

He sighed and nodded. Riku smiled ever so slightly and began pulling Sora along again.

Hopefully they would find the others, Riku really didn't want Sora to worry.

He was in love with him after all.
