Mehh... Here goes my first Fanfic. Well...sorta.
------------------------
The town called Twilight is small, I had to admitt. Not many things happend around here where people wouldn't find out. I'm not sure where this place was located, nor what lies one the outside of it's ongoing roads. All I know is that Twilight Town had something deep and dark about. And I'm not talking about that wierd little corner-store I pass by every day after school, I'm talking about something much, much, more secret-y.
"Hey...Hey kid! You gonna wake up er what?! HEY!!" Thump. The next thing I knew I was on the hard wood floor, a foot nudgeing me, checking if I was alive. "X..Xigbarr...I'm sleepy... N..not...not right now..." I yawned and stretched, curling up on the floor, trying to sleep. But this only ticked off the other man even more, he actually pulled me to my feet and pushed me to the bathroom. "Xiggy...Nuuhhh..." He reached of the many cabinets which held his guns. "OKAY OKAY!! I'M UP!!" I whined as I shooed Xigbar away.
My body seemed to do a wierd limp-drag thing as I tried to make it to the sink, kicking the door close as I use the sink to support my wieght. Water...yay. I laughed mentally as I turned on the faucet, practically embracing the cool liquid.
Here's a fact, I. Love. Water. Infact, the only reason I want to leave Twilight town is to go to a beach. There's a train that takes numerous kids to the Beaches, infact, the time it takes to get to the beach isn't all that long. You could walk if you had a morning to spend.
But the problem is, I didn't have a morning. Instead, I had curiousity. Okay, before you get all worked up, here's the thing, I love my curiousity! I mean, other than the fact I've searched almost every part of Twilight Town, I think I'll eventually find that Dark, hidden secret I've always wanted. Eh, who am I kidding, I'm stuck in twilight town because it's the only 'home' I can relate to.
Before I could get into the "Who am I" Feeling, a voice came from the other side of the bathroom door; "Hey love, breakfast, hurry up before you drown yourself." It was Luxord. The british car-fanatic. Seriously, the guy could play go-fish like a pro!! Okay, that's the only game I know how to play, sadly. But I love his card houses, thier like... Wow. Other than that, the only thing I love more is his Pancakes!
"Comming Mom!!" I hollered to Luxy, who seemed to roll his eyes. I loved calling him that. He's a "Childhood friend" Of Xiggy. I MEAN SERIOUSLY!!! I could just TELL that there's a relationship between the Gunner and the Card-er... It's so obvious that it's annoying, since all Xiggy does is deny it
Xigbar was 21, amazingly, even if he DOES look 50 or 60 with his raven black hair with streeks of Grey tied back in a pony-tail. The thing that catches alot of people's eyes are his eye patched right eye and the scar on his left cheek. Then again, if you get into finer detail, you'd see his pointy ears and topaz golden eyes. Of course, this 'tough look' also came with a funny surfer accent. I swear, the guy is like a ninja-pirate-gunner-surfer! Xigbar wore decent clothes for anyone in Twilight Town. A shirt, pants, and all. Now and then a hat or extra accessory.
Luxord was also 21, but he was 3 months younger than Xiggy, not to mension had 2 piercings on the left ear and 3 on the right, planuim blond hair and a mustache-beardy-thing. He was very... Pirate-y. Most likely where Xiggy got the eye patch. For some reason, I've noticed that Mom liked to wear things with dice, aces, clubs, or anything else that had to do with gambling. Especially as patches on his leather jackets. Luxord, other than having a skill for gambling, was also a gentleman. No...a very, VERY, gentle man. He pulls out chairs, bows, smiles, and is pretty much a very polite pirate I guess. Oh, and I love his accent. It makes me crack up every time he talks. Ello, mate! Crickey! No wait... the last part wasn't british. But luxy is!
I, on the other hand, was 17, with my blue-ish green eyes and a dirty blonde mullet-mowak. Personally, I was very proud of my hair style! I mean, compared to Axel from next door, my hair was considered normal. Well, Axel was my friend for 6 years now notto mention he was a crazy pyro maniac, but as for family, Xiggy and Luxy are the only ones I have. I've known them ever since I came to this town, which was practically when I was born. Well, at least, I think it was... The truth is, I have no memory of anything but this town, nor my parents, or anything else that happend before I was 10. That's right, I only have memories of 7 years of my life, then again 'I can't even remember if I tied my shoes or not' as Xigbar says.
I came down the stairs of the apartment-like building, the smell of pancakes and juice pulling me to the table. I sat next on a random chair at the 3-seated table. Luxord sat across from me, poking and chewing at his pancake as Xigbar sat next to him, sipping coffee before eyeing me with his un-patched eye. He stared at me as I ate my breakfast, but I didn't mind until Luxord joined in also.
"What...?" I asked after I fnished my last pancake. Luxord raised an eyebrow then cleared his throat, "Sure you're going to school, Demyx." he said. "Well...Duhh!!" Xigbar smirked and chuckled, "Pfft, as if. Aye, Kid, look in the mirror. Your hair is down 'n you're wearing pjs." And, as I expected, Xiggy was right. I didn't comb or gell my hair yet, and I was still in pajamas. Oh, and did I mention that school was going to start in 15 minutes? And I still had to walk to school. Sigh. This is greatt...
"O-Oops!!" I muttered as I raced back up the stairs, pulling off my button-up fish-printed shirt as I stumbled over my blue pajama pants. Personally, I liked the over sized white shirt with fishies, Xiggy got it for me. Well, more like gave it to be out of his closet. As for the pajama pants, they were on sale at one of the street stores. But the problem wasn't the shirt, or the pants, it was the fact that there was a certain Pyro that was leaning on the doorway.
"Heyy Dem dem."
"Can't talk. Wait. Pants..." I stuttered hestitantly as I pulled up rough jeans with a torn left knee and right shin. I added a small chain to one of the pockets leading up to the belt strap I had on.
Axel just leaned at the doorway, regular flaming red hair spiked back, with upside down black triangles under his eyes. Tatoos maybe? I wasn't sure either.
A hooded tight black shirt over his this figure, the right arm sleeve had a sewn on patch of flames. the opposite arm was littered with a few random bracelts and a slightly torn wrist band over his slim wrist. To compliment his stlye, he had on simple pants which curved to his waist down the form of his legs, getting slightly baggy as they reached his ankles. As for his shoes, nothing to special, just black laced shoes with doodled flames of red.
He sighed and threw a shirt at me. It was a collared loose blue shirt, pink buttons and a small pink guitar on the bottom right side hem. I stared at it for a while. Since...when did I have this... But thier was no time to think. I pulled it up over my head and put on a yellow and green checkered wrist band and a chain necklace. Nothing special.
I somewhat jumped to the bathroom, wetting my hands and gelling my hair into my mohawk-hullet stlye. Mull-hawk? Moha-llet? No clue.
"BYE MOM!! BYE XIGGY!!" I hollered as me and Axel rushed down the stairs. My shoulder bag was thrown at me by Xigbar, he smirked and gave a small wave. Before I forgot, I swung my Sitar over my right shoulder, pulling the hungry Pyro along. Luxord was at the door, holding it open.
No time to say bye, so I just raised my hand as I passed by Luxy, Axel was chewing on a pancake he managed to steal on our way out.
We had 10 minutes to get to school, and it usually took 15 minutes or so to walk to school. So running would work, right?
"So how did you get into the house anyways? Especially my room." I pointed out with a grin as we ran across streets and over sidewalks.
"Window." He said in a small pant, smirking as we ran down the narrow alley we used as a shortcut.
Axel was in alot of shape, infact, he was more of a fighter than almost anyone I know (maybe not Xiggy...But he uses guns, doesn't count!) Not to mention he was reccomended to the school's Track and Cross Country many times. But he was usually kicked out for starting a fight, then running away from the scene of the crime. Which made running for him easier than it would be for any other people.
But me and Axel ran at almost the same speed, I guess Imma bit faster. I'm on the swim team. Well...sorta. I just like swimming in the pool. So I guess sometimes when I'm swimming, the swim team would out of no where start to practice around me. Other than swimming, my natural instinct is to...well... RUN!! RUN AWAY!!
(owo)
We would see the school in a distance. CeltricBay High school was an all boys public school with AerlyusMoon high school right next to it, which was an All girls high school. The two schools faced eached other and looked very similar, the outside, at least. They even shared the same courtyard.
Axel and I finally made it to the school gates. 20 seconds to spare, we ran down the courtyard and into the main building, passing swiftly through the halls. 10 seconds.
Riinnngggg. Axel and I burst into our first class, panting as we looked over to the teacher. The teacher stared at us, he sighed and shook his head.
"you must be in your seats before the bell rings." He said, emphasysing the 'Before'.
"Y-yeah..." I stuttered.
Axel just huffed and shrugged, sitting down in our usual seats.
No one was surprised to see us late, nor to see that we burst in at the same time. Axel and I, at school, were known as Steam. There was also Marluxia, Roxas and Sora in our 'group', but Axel and I were known the most. Pretty much cause there's a hot-headed pyro maniac on the loose with a water obbsessed music player. But people say we compliment our attitudes...Cause like... They say Axel is intimidating while I'm to sweet to resist. But we're both equal idiots.
Our seats were arranged in rows, Axel sat next to me, the flower-girl (boy...) Marluxia was behind me, and Sora was infront of me. For Axel, A Blue-haired Sailor Moon,AKA Saix sat behind him and Sora's twin, Roxas was infront of him.
Sure, we all spoke to each other, and we all got along just fine. Okay, maybe not Saix. He can get a bit...Beasty sometimes. Everyone figured he was teacher obbssed. Our teacher, Xemnas, seemed to not mind the attention. Who do we call him Xemnas? Eh, well, he doesn't like Mister I guess. Nor does he like... Xemmy, Xen-mas, or stuff like that...Other than the people inside it, Class was regularly normal. Our small Group was also found in the center seats of the room, drawing attention with our misbehaving.
Riinnnggg...I flinched at the sudden sound of the bell. 55 minutes already... I thought as I glanced at the clock. Wow! Time sure does move fast, right? But not as fast as Axel, who was out of the room milliseconds before the bell ended. Great, now I had to catch up to him, but the good news is, we had PE next.
The main reason why me and Axey ran for our lives was because we didn't want to be late. Alright, before that sentence ruins Axel's 'Bad Boy Reputation,' here's the reason...
"AXEL! DEMYX! You both are late. Congradulations," The teacher said with a smirk, "Go get dressed into your PE uniforms... You both have an extra 2 laps to run in addition to the warm up mile." Axel and I sighed, walking to the locker rooms. We wouldn't have been late if Axel haden't tripped over Roxas, pulling me down with him. "Oh, and one more thing," Me and Axel turned to the teacher, "You both still have to get under 10 minutes."
"Hey teach!! I thought the time limit was 11!!" Axel huffed, crosing his arms as he glared at the instructor.
"Oh, I know. But unless you want to fail, I'll have you two running at 10."
"Heh, like we care..." Axel murmered, turning to walk away.
"Oh? Do I hear a 9 minute mile?"
"Yeah yeah, we're going!!" I swear, Axel could have a big mouth at times. It's not that me and Axel can't run 9 mintue miles, infact, we can go faster than 6. But the thing is, we just love to slack off. Unless it means Detention, then we have to deal with Larxene...The freakin man woman. Everyone figured she carried a tazer around, threatening all the kids in Detention.
Oh, and the PE teacher? He's Mister something something. We all can't pronounce his name so we call him Xaldin. He's buff and... thick. Like a hard, inflated, chunky, side-burned, dread-locked, balloon. Something like that. I personally would rather have the other teacher, Lexaeus, for Physical Education. But since Axel and I skipped it for 2 years, we were suck with it for Junior and Senior year...which is right now.
We walked out of the locker rooms, I was wearing shorts and the tee shirt the school provided. Axel, on the other hand, was wearing sweats and a random shirt.
After roll was called, we ran the mile. That was nothing exciting. We got around 8 or 9 minutes, tied.
I knew one fact, I'm deffinately looking forward to home.
