"Fuck!"

"Axel Kasaiko," Zexion rapped on the red head's door, scowling. "You watch your mouth, got it?"

Axel grumbled under his breath, throwing something at the door. "Why is Kairi in my room!?"

The much younger red head pouted, hands crossed on her chest. "I had a nightmare."

Axel sighed, running a hand through his hair. "Kairi, then wake me up, okay? Don't sneak into my room and sleep on the floor. You scared the shit out of me."

"Axel!"

"Not now, Zex!"

Kairi continued to pout until Axel got sick of her sitting there and picked her up (by the back of her red shirt) and "gently" threw her out. Zexion glared at him, arms crossed.

"Are you quite finished? We have to get going if we're ever going to get your and Riku's supplies."

Axel groaned. "Why do we have to go? We don't remember anything about school."

Demyx poked his head out from the kitchen, smiling brightly. "Someone woke up on the wrong side of the bed this morning."

They both glared at him; neither were morning persons. Riku walked out from his room, sliver hair messy and thrown into a pony-tail, raising an eyebrow at the two in the hall. He then looked down at Kairi, who waved. Sighing, he decided he didn't care enough to ask.

"When are we leaving, Zex?"

Zexion checked his watch. "As soon as you guys get ready. I can't believe we waited until the day before school to get this crap."

Axel rolled his eyes. "I would've been ready if someone hadn't snuck into my room."

Axel Kasaiko, as you might remember, had suffered from Multiple Personality Disorder, which recently been changed to D.I.D. Dissociative(?) Identity Disorder. After being 'cured', and the death of his Dad, he was sent to live with foster parents until the trial of his brother Reno. But the Fosters turned out to be, well, not the greatest parents and he was moved to Zexion and Demyx.

Riku had been there as well, and they had adopted Kairi. The twelve year old had been orphaned by an Earthquake. She had a small level of Anxiety Disorder, but it would be gone before she hit fifteen. Oddly enough, she looked up to both of her 'brothers', though had a habit of copying everything Axel did.

Zexion still was a Therapist, though he had new patients. He still talked with Axel now and then, but mostly it wasn't needed. He seemed to have control on the other personalities, though sometimes they'd show up when he was feeling particularly angry or sad.

"So..." Zexion looked at them both as they got into Zexion's car. "High School."

Axel scuffed. "I already know I'm going to hate it."

"You can't say that until you've gone." the lilac haired man scolded lightly. "Kairi loves school."

"Zex, she's twelve." Riku shot, a bit angry that Axel had beaten him to the front seat. "And she's gone her whole life. She's used to it all."

"And she has friends." the red head muttered.

Zexion glanced over at him. "It won't be so bad, Axel. The Principle's going to do everything he can to get you three into the same classes."

Riku snorted. "I see enough of Axel as it is."

The red head glared back at him, even though he knew the other was teasing. "Don't make me cut your hair."

"Remember," Zexion grounded out as Axel and Riku gathered their things for High School. "If I get called about fighting," He glared at Riku. "Or burning," He then turned it to Axel. "You two will be locked into your rooms the rest of your High School career. Got it?"

"Memorized." Axel grumbled, getting out.

Oblivion High School was a big school, where more...smarter and or richer (but mostly richer) students went. After taking a test (since neither had been in school in years) they were moved here. Both had substantial knowledge and high marks on their tests. Oblivion practically begged them to join, trying to get rid of the image of rich kids only.

"Zex said they all know about our...condition?" Axel asked, not bothering by people staring.

Riku nodded. "But only the teachers. These brats are starting because we're weird."

"Find by me."

They stood out more than they thought they would. Axel's crimson-red hair and tall stature, and even Riku's silver hair, stuck out like a sore thumb. That, and they hadn't gotten their uniforms yet. The uniform consisted of a white button up, a light blue plaid tie, with matching long pants. Girl were the same, only a blue plaid mini-skirt. Namine had complained (on paper) that the skirts were way too small.

"You must be Axel and Riku." the secretary, Yuffie, greeted warmly. "It's nice to meet you."

Riku gave a nod. "Are we getting our things here?"

"Yep." She had them walk with her into another room. "You can change in here. Zexion called in for your measurements. Once you're done, I'll give you your schedules." With another smile, she left.

They both changed in silence. Axel sighed, as he did his tie. High School...and Roxas had promised that they'd do this together. But Roxas was hundreds of miles away. At least he had Riku and Namine. That was better than being alone.

"Nervous?" Riku asked softly once they were done.

Axel gave a small smile. "A little."

"Don't be." the other said easily. "If anything happens, I'll beat the shit out of them. Okay?"

The red head chuckled. "Thanks, Riku. But I'm more worried about what happens when I beat the shit out of someone."

"Let's see..." Riku looked over their schedules, both exactly the same. "Um...Xemnas for Math...Lexaeus for Science, then Lunch, Grainsborough for Art...Wait, what's Aeris doing here?"

"She said that her and Leon were going to be teaching." Axel replied. "Things have been slow lately and there's no need for them."

"O...kay. So, Aeris for Art, Leon in History...That'll be fun. And then Seminar with Saix."

"Sounds okay." Axel muttered. "And Namine's in all of our classes."

"She said that Xemnas was pretty weird though." the silver haired teen said.

'Dear Axel,

'I'm glad to hear that you're okay. I did hear what Reno did, though I'm not really surprised. Me, I'm living on a Chocobo Ranch. Yeah, you read right. Chocobos. They're okay, but pretty energetic. And Tifa's friend that we're staying with, Zack Fair, is really annoying. He doesn't seem to ever be unhappy or anything, kinda like Sora. Only less likeable. I tolerate him though, because he looks like you...Only with black hair and blue eyes.

'When I come back, I want to meet Stitches. She sounds pretty cute. Maybe I'll name one of the Chocobos after you. That'd be interesting. And I heard about Riku from Sora. He's excited to get together with him when we get back.

'...Don't worry about me getting attached, okay? I love you. Besides, there's nothing to get attached to. Except Chocobos. They are pretty cute, but not that cute. Promise.

'I'll always write back as soon as I can. Love you.

'Roxas'
