My High School Days
"Nii-san?"
"Hm?"
Marluxia Hayashi looked at one of his two younger brothers. He could sense that both of his brothers--Roxas and Sora--were nervous about starting their first day at Kingdom High. Marluxia was a bit nervous as well.
Roxas is a bit shy, but can open up to a person once he knows them well enough. He loves to learn new things. He looks down on himself most of the time, but he's working on it with the help of Sora. One of his favorite hobbies is playing the piano. Roxas is the youngest of them, being born two minutes after Sora.
Sora is almost the exact opposite of Roxas. He's very outgoing, yet when it comes to learning, he gets veeeeeery lazy. One of his main hobbies, when he's not outside, is sleeping. He's the optimist of the bunch. Sora's the middle child and he has the excuse that he was born two minutes after Roxas to order him around. But he seldom uses that excuse.
Marluxia prefers to be alone most of the time, but can be a little like Sora. He cares very much about his brothers and will do anything for them. He has interests in gardening and martial arts, but he just absolutely loves to draw. Although he has talent in art, he doubts that his drawings are good to a very high degree. Marluxia, as you can guess, is the eldest of the group, being a good year older than Roxas and Sora.
The three had just moved in from the Destiny Islands. They had lived a simple life there, but times were getting hard and they had to move. Their parents are almost always out so Marluxia was left the task of caring for his siblings.
The eldest of the bunch was placed in 11th grade. Roxas was placed in 11th grade also because his entrance exams showed that his intelligence levels were high, leaving Sora stuck with the 10th graders. There was much complaining about that around the house for a day.
So here they were, standing at the front of their new school and right now, their tension meters were very high.
"What is it Roxas?"
"Well, do you think we're gonna do well on our first day? I mean...you think we can make friends?"
"Don't worry, Roxy, everything's gonna be A-okay!" Sora said, slinging an arm around his shoulders
"Sora's right. I'm sure that we'll be fine." Marluxia assured, "And you know what?"
"What?" the two asked
"Remember Cloud?"
"He moved right?" Roxas asked
"Yep," he replied, "but he moved here, to Traverse Town and is also attending Kingdom High."
"Awesome! Lucky us!" the brunette cheered. Roxas smiled
"Well, let's go, shall we?"
The trio went inside the school. Its halls were huge! Someone can easily get lost. They headed off to the principal's office, but then got a bit lost. It wasn't until a nice student told them the way to the main office. As they entered the room, the secretary looked up from her work.
"Are you three new?"
"Yes ma'am."
She got up from her desk and went into a room. About a minute later, a man stepped out of the room. He had long, silver hair, tanned skin and reddish eyes.
"You three are the Hayashi's, if I am not mistaken?"
"Yes, sir, we are." Marluxia replied, "My name is Marluxia."
"Sora!"
"Roxas, sir."
"Welcome to Kingdom High." he greeted, "I am Xemnas, the principal here."
"It's a pleasure to meet you, sir." the three said simultaneously. Xemnas gestured the boys to follow him. Walking through the halls, he showed them where things were. The school was divided into four wings--one for each grade. There was one common lunch hall (which amazed Sora because it was so huge), one gymnasium and one auditorium. After showing them around, they went back to the East Wing where the 10th graders are.
Stopping at a room, he looked at Sora, gave him his schedule and told him, "This will be your homeroom. Your teacher will be sure to have one of your peers to guide you to your classes."
While he was explaining, the three looked at Sora's schedule. He had history first period. Nodding, the brunette followed Principal Xemnas inside while Marluxia and Roxas stayed out in the hall.
"I hope I'm not interrupting anything." Xemnas said, walking into the classroom with Sora.
"Oh no, Principal Xemnas, not at all." the teacher replied. He was a tall man that also had long silver hair (longer than Xemnas') and green eyes.
"Well, Mr. Sephiroth, I have your new arrival." he said, motioning to Sora. The brunette stepped forward as Xemnas left, headed of to the South Wing with his elder brothers.
"Alright, class. This is your new classmate, Sora Hayashi." he stated, "I want you all to make him feel welcome these next few days, understood?"
"Yes Mr. Sephiroth." the class answered in bored unison
"Sora, have a seat next to Tidus." he pointed at a seat next to the blonde boy in the third row. Sora went over and sat down. Once he did, the silver-haired teacher went back to the board and talked about the geography of a place called Radiant Garden.
---------
"Well, here are your schedules." Xemnas said, handing the two the little white sheet of paper. Apparently, Marluxia and Roxas had the same homeroom teacher, "As I said with Sora, your teacher will be sure to have one of your classmates guide you to your classes."
The three entered. The Hayashi boys looked around the classroom. There were tables of four people all around. Of course, their first class was technology. Roxas spotted something and lightly nudged the eldest child with his elbow. The light brown-haired man looked at the direction where the dirty-blonde haired boy slightly jerked his head, and saw a familiar blonde head, grinning at them.
"Mr. Highwind, your new students are here."
"Good, good. You can leave now, Principal Xemnas; I'm sure you have plenty of work you need to do." Cid stated
"Alright." And out the room he went
"Okay, boys. Introduce yourselves to the class."
"Marluxia Hayashi."
"Roxas Hayashi."
"Alrighty. Now, anyone of you kids wanna guide these two?"
The blonde's hand shot up instantaneously, "I will, Mr. Highwind!"
"Hm? Well, this is a surprise, Strife..."
"What did you expect? He's Cloud; the guy's chuck full of surprises..." Roxas muttered to himself. The elder Hayashi gave a slight nod of agreement
"Okay, I'll let you accompany them to their classes." Cid then turned to the two newbies, "You two sit over there by Cloud and Leon."
He pointed to the fourth table to the right. Cloud was sitting there, of course, along with a brown-haired boy who was supposedly "Leon." The two went over right away and sat down. Mr. Highwind told the class that they'll have a free period today. He thought that this time'll give Marluxia and Roxas to adjust. Also, it'll give him some time to read a few "books."
"Yo, welcome to the school. Haven't seen you two in a while." Cloud greeted
"Yeah, it's been quite some time since we last saw you." Roxas agreed
"Before I forget, Leon, these are two of my friends that I told you about." he told the boy next to him, "Guys, this is Squall Leonheart. He prefers to be called Leon, though." he leaned in closer to the two and quickly added, "No seriously, call him Leon or else he'll seriously kick your ass."
"It's nice to meet you Leon."
"Likewise."
"So Mars, what happened to the pink in your hair?" the blondie asked, trying not to snicker
Marluxia glared at him. Back in Destiny Islands, Cloud would joke about the eldest's hair by calling him "Pinky" or "Flower Head." But as he saw, the pink that was once there was gone.
"Simple, I took it out." he replied
"Aw, now I have to think of different names to annoy you with..." the blue-eyed teen said, mock sulking
"Hey Cloud!"
"Hm?" The four looked at the table in front of them. There was a boy with spiky red hair, green eyes with small marks underneath. Next to him was another boy with what seems like a mullet/mohawk combination. Next to that one was yet another boy with blue hair that was covering his right eye. What an interesting bunch, Marluxia thought.
"Know the new kids?" the mullet head asked
"Yeah, they're my friends from where I used to live." he replied
"Oh, y'mean the one you call Roxy and Marly?"
Twitch
The blonde gulped as the light brown-haired teen's head slowly turned to him. The group of three and Leon wore slightly confused faces. Cloud never acted like this before...
"You've been calling me "Marly" again?" he asked through gritted teeth, "May I ask if you recall what happened last time?"
Oh, he definitely remembered the last time he called him "Marly" in his face. His anger consisted of kick-ass martial arts pummeling along with a thorn bush. To be frank, it did not end well. But Sora told him afterwards that he was lucky that Marluxia didn't bring out the scythe. And as nicknames go, Marluxia only has one and can it can only be used by two--and only two--people.
"Unfortunately, yes...And I'm quite sure that you can find something to substitute for the thorn bush..."
By that time, the three boys from the table had 'What the hell' looks on their faces.
"Er, Marluxia, Roxas, these are my other friends." Cloud referred, trying to deperately change the subject
"Yo, the name's Axel. Got it memorized?" the redhead introduced
"I'm Demyx. Nice to meet'cha!" mullet boy greeted cheerfully
"My name's Zexion." the bluenette stated
"Pleasure to meet you three." Roxas and Marluxia said in unison
Meanwhile...
"Alright, now everyone go into your regular groups." Sephiroth instructed, "Sora, you'll be joining that group over there by the corner."
He pointed to a cluster of two girls and two guys, one of them being Tidus. There was also a silver haired boy, a brunette and a red-haired girl. Going over to them he said, "Hi!"
"Hey Sora! I'm Selphie!"
"My name's Tidus, as you already know."
"I'm Kairi."
"Riku."
"Nice to meet you guys." he said
"Same here. Now let's get started before Mr. Sephiroth gets into PMS mode." the blonde teen suggested
"I heard that, Tidus." Sephiroth said from his desk, not looking up from his work, "And for that, you just earned yourself five minutes afterschool."
"Dammit!"
"Make that ten."
"Ugh!" the blonde hit his head on the desk he was sitting in. The group laughed at Tidus' predicament.
---------
Before you knew it, lunch time had arrived! Roxas and Marluxia entered the lunch hall, followed by Cloud, Leon, Axel, Demyx and Zexion. The seven students got a table and sat down, putting their backpacks and books on the surface.
"Okay! Time to get some food!" Cloud exclaimed
"You guys go, I'm not hungry." the eldest Hayashi child stated
"You going anorexic on us now Marluxia?"
"Shut up, Spikey."
Cloud stuck his tongue out at him playfully before going up to the lunch line with the others. The eldest child took out his textbooks and started on homework.
"Mari-nii-san!"
His head turned to the direction the voice came from. Coming his way was Sora, waving his hand.
"Sora!" he exclaimed, "How was it?"
"Good! I made friends!"
"Already? Well, I wouldn't be surprised."
"Yeah! I made..." he started to count his new friends. There was Tidus, Kairi, Selphie, that wierd guy with the accent--was his name Wakka?--and Riku, "I made 5 friends!"
"That's great." Marluxia chuckled. He sounds like a grade schooler who just met new friends. It's pretty funny.
"What about you, Mari-nii-san? Did you and Roxas make any friends?"
"Well, we lucked out. Cloud was in our homeroom."
"Lucky bastard."
"Heya munchkin!" They looked over to see Cloud, Roxas and the others headed there way, carrying lunch trays full of food.
"Shut up, Cloud, or do you want a repeat of the thorn bush thing?" he asked
"Okay, okay...Geez, what is up with this family and hurting me with thorn bushes?" he asked no one in particular, sitting down
"Well, it was pretty funny how Nii-san just threw you in and kept on pummeling you back in it when you tried to get away." Roxas admitted
"Yeah, and remember, you're lucky he didn't bring out the scythe!" Sora happily added
"...Scythe?" Leon, Axel, Demyx and Zexion gave Marluxia wierd looks. The eldest just shrugged it off. Cloud introduced Sora to the others.
Once they were all acquainted with each other, the three siblings took a look at each other's schedules.
"Hm...Looks like we have the same gym period as well..." Roxas stated
"Lemme see!" Cloud exclaimed, craning over their heads, "Hey, cool, that's our gym period, too!"
"Awesome!"
"Speaking of which, isn't that class next period?"
"Mm-hm."
"Okay, so we all have gym and lunch together. Cool." Sora stated, looking around the lunch hall. A lone silver head immediately caught his eye, "Ah!"
Cloud looked at the direction Sora's eyes were and saw a lone silver head on a table not too far away from theirs, "Hey Leon, ain't that your cousin, Riku?"
"Eh? Oh, yeah, that's him." The other brunette replied, watching Sora go over to where Riku was
"Riku?" Sora called
"Huh? Oh, hi Sora." the boy greeted
"Why're ya all alone?" the boy asked. Riku noted that the tone he used sounded like when a five year old asks what their older sibling is doing.
"...Because I feel like it."
"That's not a good reason." the middle child stated, taking a seat next to him. Geez, does he take me for an idiot?
From a distance, Marluxia watched his little brother converse with the boy. He mentally laughed before turning back to face the others. He wasn't really paying much attention, but it seemed that Axel and Cloud were having a heated discussion on some sort of ridiculous subject (Really, Cloud can just bring up the most random topics, and get even the sanest people to actually argue with him about them). Roxas was watching the two in their wrangle, Demyx was inputting occasional comments here and there, all the while listening to the music player he snuck in, Zexion was reading, telling them how immature and stupid they're acting, arguing about such trivial things and Leon was just trying to block out the whole thing from his head.
The no-longer-pink-haired teen shook his head and continued on his homework.
Later, the bell rang and the students went to their next classes. For our particular group of boys, it was the dreaded physical education.
When they got changed, they came into the gymnasium. It was a big room. There were two basketball hoops on each end of the room. Three ropes were up on the ceiling, but the youngest Hayashi child noticed a latch on one end, to detach those ends. There was also a bar on one corner, for pull-up exercises.
They sat on the floor, waiting for the coach to come in and tell them what they will be doing for the period. A tall, lanky man came into the gymnasium. He wore a sweatshirt, sweatpants, a pair of sneakers and a whistle around his neck. Doesn't really seem like the type of person to teach a gym class, the boys noted. He quickly took attendance and then told them what they were going to do. The newbies were expecting something big, like a 100-meter run or something, but the activity he gave the class was fairly simple.
The task?
Jailball
The Hayashi boys, Cloud's group and a few other students were on one team, while Sora's new friends, and a few other people that the blonde Strife knew were on another.
"Cloud, y'think that Sora, Roxy and Mars'll be able to handle this game?" Axel asked, trying to be as quiet as he could. He wouldn't want the scythe-wielder to hear the nickname he made up for him after hearing what he did to Cloud
"Huh? What're you talkin' about?"
"I mean, look." he said, jerking his thumb in the direction of the opposing team, "Larxene, Siax, Xigbar and Xaldin are there. You know that they're really competitive, especially the Sadist Duo."
"Ah, don't worry about it. They'll do just fine."
The coach blew the whistle and threw the six balls up in the air, starting the match. A blonde-haired girl grabbed one ball and threw it hard at one of the other people. A guy with long blue hair copied the same action.
"Shit! Larxene and Siax have the balls!"
The two balls ricocheted off the students, hitting other students, three of them being Cloud, Axel and Demyx.
"Crap. Without those three, we're doomed." Zexion stated. Marluxia looked at his new emo-ish friend and smirked. He quickly ran over to his two younger brothers, dodging the flying balls, and whispered something in their ears. The two smiled.
"Cloud!" Roxas shouted to the other side of the room, where their team's jail was, "Code: Delta 9!"
The blonde's ears perked up and gave a thumbs-up to show a confirmation. Axel and Demyx were, on the other hand, very confused. Sora caught one of the balls, wound his arm up and threw the soft sphere at the other side of the room. Cloud caught it with ease, releasing him from jail. He went back to their side of the room, leaving the ball on their opponent's side.
"Delta 9, right?" he asked, just to make sure
"Yep!"
"Alrighty then..."
TBC
Holy crap! I made Marluxia, Roxas and Sora siblings! I made Sephiroth and Cid as teachers! Okay, this is my first Kingdom Hearts multi-chapter fic. Feedback is appreciated, but don't be too harsh with flamers! On the bottom are translations.
Nii-san: Big brother. Can also be used as a suffix, which is why Sora addressed him as "Mari-nii-san"
I just scanned through the chapter. If there are any other explanations, feel free to ask them in a review and I will reply you the answer. Hopefully, you will stick with me and Fortexine throughout the story. That's all. Thank you
