Disclamer: I don't own Kingdom Hearts or any of their characters.

I blinked sleepily at my surroundings and yawned. Looking around I saw people getting out of their seats and gathering near the exit.

Crap! I must've slept through the flight attendants announcement of arrival. I quickly grabbed my backpack - the only thing I had taken with me on the plane - and wobbled through the exit and on the little plane stairs that some workers had pushed to the planes door. That's when I saw it for the first time - The United States of America in all of their star-spangled, freedom obsessed glory. I would've gaped at the sight in front of me had I not been just woken up. Therefore I only saw blurred out shapes that I assumed were buildings and a sun that definitely shouldn't be that bright. My camera lay forgotten in my backpack therefore I took no first-view pictures that I usually did as soon as the new place came into my vision. I stumbled down the stairs and for the first time in around six hours I felt solid ground under my feet.

I stalked over to where you're supposed to get your luggage and from there on everything went by like a blur. The usual check-ups they do at airports, getting the rest of my things, the tantalizing large shiny clock hanging suspended from the airports ceiling and a swarm of strange people looking at me with big eyes and laughing as they pass me by while I was waiting for the guy who was supposed to be here and bring me to my new school. What had they never seen a foreigner?

After about twenty minutes I gave up on waiting for my escort and decided to go to the place myself. Only when I had left the airport and opened a map I had with me I realized why everyone inside had been giving me looks. In a reflection of some electronics shop I saw that I still had the flight attendant distributed sleeping ,mask pushed up on my forehead. I flushed red with embarrassment, practically ripping it off and stuffing it in my backpack. As I did this I noticed my camera case lay innocently on top of some other stuff I had stuffed there and I cursed my forgetfulness.

Almost immediately I set down my suitcases and snapped a few pictures of some random things surrounding me. The airport, a guy passing by on roller-skates, some birds that were really friendly and not afraid of humans at all and one of the three streets that surrounded me. After getting the proof that I had safely arrived aka. my first taken pics of the states I turned back to my map. Sora will have to do with these. He always demands to see pictures of the first things that anyone sees when they go to new places.

I pinpointed my location and sighed. The airport was ways away from where I had to go and judging by my blurry eyesight (I'm really not a morning person) it will be a long walk there. Mentally cursing the time zones I started to walk, dragging my two suitcases with me.

Radiant High school was the official name of the educational facility where my oldest brother Cloud had sent me off to. It was supposed to help me socialize and make new friends, or how Vanitas kindly put it "Get out of the house and learn to have a conversation that lasts longer than five seconds.". His words, not mine. Yawning I looked at my reflection in some random window again.

My eyes were a little poofy from trying to not fall asleep while walking and squinty from the bright sunlight. My blonde hair was messed up and sticking out in every direction. My stature was hunched due to my luggage and to top it all off my aura seemed to be that of a very pissed off guy. I sighed and continued to move forward.

-Sure, have the youngest most introvert member of the family go abroad to a different school. It'll be good for him.- I mumbled to myself, cursing Cloud and all of his good intentions. This sucked.

After about an hour which felt like an eternity later I found myself completely exhausted and ready to kill anyone who as much as looked at me the wrong way. Finally I had managed to find Radiant High and dragged myself to the principal's office, where I was told to wait a few minutes, because that prick was out for lunch. I slumped down on a chair in the waiting room and let sleep claim me. If it was lunchtime here it was somewhere around 12 to 1 p.m. which means it's 2 to 3 a.m. back home in Japan.

I was awoken by loud screeching noises that I later discovered were actually pleading screams, but since I had had a nightmare my brains only picked up that much. Just as I had properly opened my eyes the door to the waiting room slammed open and two figures entered.

One of them no doubt was the principal and the other looked like a student. Radiant high principal wasn't very radiant to say the least. He was tall (but then again everyone here looks like a titan to me) and looked old but not the stereotypical principal old. He was light skinned and his hair was really long and pale blonde. Like platinum but with a little more color. He had a well trimmed beard and strangely colored eyes. He was wearing a long black robe of some sorts with a long dark red cape and various accessories. His voice was stern and deep as he talked to the other guy. Speaking of which the other one was also fairly tall (not as tall as the principal though) and had short dirty blond hair styled in an odd mullet like way. He had several individual bangs falling over his face and big innocent looking cyan eyes. Though that might be because he was pleading about something rather loudly. He sported a loose jacket and some band t-shirt topped off with slightly ripped black jeans and sneakers. Yup he was the kind of guy who'd get in trouble.

My observation was interrupted when the tallest of the two - the principal - spoke to me.

- Roxas Strife? -

I nodded.

- Come into my office both of you. - He practically ordered while the other guy looked ready to dig a hole in the floor.

I followed him inside and after waiting for the other blonde to walk in shut the door. The principal sat down behind his desk and urged us to sit down as well, motioning at the chair in front of him. The annoying blonde beat me to it as he slumped in the open chair and grinned ear to ear. I concluded that he must be suffering from some serious mood swings as I took a nearby chair and dragged it over to the principals desk and inwardly smirked in victory as I saw him glaring disapprovingly at the PMSing teen.

-Now then- he began as I sat down -Let's start with introductions shall we? I am the principal of Radiant high school Ansem the Wise. I make sure things stay in order here and if you ever encounter any problems come talk to me or the guidance counselor alright? - Even though the words he said were supposed to be friendly his tone made them sound forced and cold. Nonetheless I nodded deciding I will NOT let a principal intimidate me. He turned to the other guy in the room and if his voice had sounded a little unwelcome before now it felt like a glacier.

-This- he even took the time to gesture the other's way - here is Demyx. He is one of the students of Radiant high school and he was the one appointed to pick you up from the airport.- As he said this I felt rage starting to bubble up in my chest. Oh, so It was because of this asshole that I had had to wait in the airport and then proceed to walk here ON MY OWN! Dragging not only my luggage but also my tired body that totally wasn't accustomed to time zones yet. When the principal lets us go I am so going to give him a piece of my mind and make sure he never ever makes this mistake again.

I snapped out of my inner rage fit as I heard the principal address the other guy now known as Demyx.

-And do you have any reason for not showing yourself to take our new transfer student to the school?-

If I hadn't been raging and promising myself to kill the guy I would've almost felt sorry for him. His posture, already pretty hunched, sank down in the chair even deeper and he looked like he was about to bawl as he half whimpered in a quiet voice.

-I-I-I f-forgot... -

Ok forget any pity or compassion I had in my heart previously. This guy deserved to burn on a steak doused in gasoline and surrounded by twenty god damn killer hounds.

The principal excused the poor bastard before I could rip him apart right then and there and from there on I had to sign a bjillion papers and got all the info on my dorm, my classes and other stuff like that.

Then I went to my newly appointed dorm room and settled in, unpacking and sending an e-mail to my family. I figured it's no use trying to call them at 5 p.m. which roughly translates to 7 a.m. I knew that Cloud enjoyed all the sleep he can get. Then I changed and let my body catch up to precious, lost sleep.

A.N. Yay my first Kingdom Hearts fanfic :) Poor Roxy away from home and in the beasts belly that is high school.
