Chapter 1

Twilight Town

Even by its name you could tell that there was something wondrous about it. From the trains that ran everyday to the different markets that ran through the town. Ether it may be the giant clock tower that over see's the town or maybe the crack in the wall that leads to the old abandon mansion in the back. There was something radiant about this town. In this close knit community there was nothing that someone else didn't know, when a student would try and skip school and was caught word would reach the parent one way or another. So it was common knowledge for the teenagers of Twilight Town to just get through the day of school instead of facing the wrath of their parents.

That is unless you were Roxas Strife, who was an exception to the rule.

When Roxas was no more than 5 years old he lost his parents in a tragic incident, he was then shifted relative to relative until they could no longer care for him. It was then decided that he would be sent to an orphanage until a well being family could adopt him and give him the care that he needed. Roxas had spent 2 years at the orphanage and became accustomed to meeting and greeting different families. Whenever he was close to finally being adopted and leaving that place, there was always complication that would end up with his adaption being cancelled. Even though he had made plenty of friends at the orphanage, Roxas still hoped that someone would come along and take him to a real home but after a while he started to doubt that he would ever leave that place. It wasn't for a few more months that Roxas got a surprise that changed his whole life.

And here he is about to turn 18 and enjoying the life of luxury, or is he?

(Roxas POV)

The mansion was bustling with maids and servant's going left and right trying to prepare for the upcoming event, Roxas was in his room and could hear all the commotion down stairs.

"Is all this really necessary" he thought; sure he was happy that his father was putting in the effort to celebrate his coming of age, but there was a limit.

Roxas got up from his chair and looked out the window.

The sun was still high in the sky and he could just barely make out Twilight Town. His father was Cloud Strife, one of the top entrepreneurs of his generation. He was the proprietor from ore mines to those little things that you put on the tip of the shoelaces. Roxas still couldn't believe that a man as powerful as him would just waltz in and pick someone like Roxas.

"I still remember that day so clearly" he thought and smiled to himself.

It had been a couple of months since Roxas had last talked to a family and he was starting to give up hope of ever being adopted. The younger kids were playing around as he was staring out the window. It was raining that day and the pitter patter sound of the rain was somewhat soothing. He heard the door opening but ignored it. He heard Ms. Wilson gasp and saw a couple of the kid's scurried to the corner to see what was going on. He continued to ignore the commotion until his name was called.

"Roxas" he looked at and saw that she was smiling "There's someone here to see you"

A man of about 30 years old walked in and he was wearing a brown trench coat. His blond/brown hair was somewhat wet and covered his eyes but Roxas could still tell that they looked kind.

Roxas started to walk toward the man but stopped halfway. He learned that he had to be cautious around new people because of all of the rumors from the older kids who came back and talked about their new parents hitting on them. The man chuckled and bent down to Roxas level and smiled.

"Hey there" he said in a kind voice "My name is Cloud, what's yours?

"Ro-Roxas" he strutted; Cloud patted him on the head "Roxas huh, that's a nice name" Cloud stood up and nodded to Ms. Wilson who started clapping and had a huge grin on her face. Roxas looked back and forth between the two adults trying to figure out what they were doing.

"Roxas, Mr. Cloud as agreed to adopt you" she said

Roxas eyes widened was it was finally happening, was he finally going to go to a real home?

"Yeah, do want to become part of my family?" he asked

Roxas couldn't answer; he was to stricken by the news to say anything. So he did the only thing at the time that he could.

He cried.

And he continued to cry as Cloud picked him up and placed him over his shoulder. Roxas clinged on to Cloud's back like his life depended on it and didn't want to let go no matter what.

*End FlashBlack*

"That was over 10 years ago" Roxas thought; since then Roxas was raised on the greener side of the grass. He was home-schooled by the finest teachers and treated to the finest events. He even got to meet Cloud's wife Tifa and found out that she was more than overjoyed to have him join the family. It wasn't until a couple of years later that Roxas found out that Tifa and Cloud had problems conceiving a child of their own and that's when they turned to adoption, when Roxas found this out he took it upon himself to act as best as he could as their real child. He was happy that he was able to become part of their family and had even gotten use to having maids take care of all his needs. But Roxas missed the companionship of people his own age. He had only been outside the mansion walls when his father went into town for business meetings and he was able to tag along. But even then there weren't kids his age to talk to. Not to say that Roxas didn't have friends, he was able to meet other kids from well do families but all they really cared about was how much money their families made or the new business deals that they were getting.

The only real friend that he could think of was Sora. Even though Sora didn't come from a wealthy family he was still the one person that Roxas could trust with anything. He had once met Sora by accident when he wondered from the orphanage one day, and even to this day there were considered the best of friends, they were even called brothers a couple of time.

"I wonder what Sora's doing right now" Roxas thought to himself; there was a knock at the door

"Come in" Roxas said without turning around

The door suddenly swung upon and two figures fell in. Roxas sighed

"Look what you did now" one voiced quaked

"Gawrsh, I'm sorry" said the other

Roxas turned around "Donald, Goofy what do you need?"

Both figures stood up and saluted to him

"Mr. Cloud , said to report to his office as soon as possible" said Donald

"Yeah ah-hyuck, he said it's important" said Goofy

Roxas thought about it for a minute "Ok, tell him I'll be there in a minute"

"Aye sir!" they both saluted and ran to the door only to get stuck

Roxas chuckled "Those two" he continued to look out the window "What could my father possibly want" he thought.

The was a crashing sound outside and a maid screamed

"I better go before they cause anymore damage" Roxas continued to make his way to his father's study. Not knowing what was in store for him.

What do you think so far?
