This is my attempt at writing fan fiction again after leaving it for several years. So I'll really appreciate suggestions, no flames though.
All Final Fantasy characters will be in their ORIGINAL APPEARANCE, though they'll all be the same age, because I need them to be in the same class. For example, Leon and Cloud will look like their original selves in Final Fantasy VII and VIII, but they'll both be seventeen.
THIS WILL HAVE YAOI! So if you're homophobic, DO NOT READ!
So far, pairings include Riku and Sora (obviously), Leon and Cloud (It's my favourite pairing), and mention of Sephiroth-Cloud with Seifer-Leon. More likely then not other pairings will get it, SeiferZell anyone?
The day was pleasant, and it was quiet. Destiny High's large garden was beautiful in its full glory of flowers and sakura petals. In the centre of said garden were five large sakura trees, arranged in a circle over a small platform. They surrounded a statue of five angels, one on top of the other, flying upwards to the sky.
Two boys leaned on their backs to the trees opposite of the other. Both were students of the school, but aside from their blond hair the sakura blossoms covered their faces from any passersby. As they faced opposite directions in their temporally silence, one might assume they didn't know the other was there. This assumption was discarded, though, when the taller blond spoke.
"Our Keyblade Master is coming."
The shorter blond drew in a deep breath, but neither of the boys turned around. Both boys remained leaning on their own sakura tree, till the shorter boy spoke out "I guessed it should be time, I've been sensing Sephiroth's displeasure."
"That is good news for us, if he's displeased; it means the other Keyblade Master hasn't been found yet." The taller blond watched as a butterfly fluttered around in front of him, dancing with the falling sakura petals. He could not help but smile.
"Can you feel it?"
"Feel what?"
"The pieces being drawn to Destiny High, the battle to start in the setting of a school that will begin and end everything here."

"So…..what's your younger cousin like?" Selphie asked cheerfully, bouncing on her feet.
"……"
"Like, does he like sports, or reading? Does he have brown hair and gray eyes like you? Does he like to have fun? What's his favourite food? How old is he?"
"….."
"Oh come on Leon! Tell us!"
"…..No" Leon deadpanned. Selphie opened her mouth, only to have Irvine rest a hand on her shoulder.
"The flight's arrived already; he should be here anytime soon. Then you can get your questions answered." Irvine gave Leon a smile, but whatever response the brunette planned to give him was interrupted by a bundle of energy and spiky brown hair pouncing at him.
"Leon!" A voice cheerfully called out. Irvine watched as Leon actually stumbled back, though he managed to collect himself quickly. He peered at the person that was holding him, before asking "Sora?"
"Yea!" The smaller boy grinned happily up at him. He was an adorable boy, with bright blue eyes and spiky brown hair that just seemed to defy gravity. Leon was reminded of a classmate of his, who also had blue eyes and spiky hair, except his was blond. He blinked, he was thinking too much about Cloud Strife lately, and viciously squashed that thought.
"….and we'll take the bus." Irvine's words brought him back to reality. Irvine and Selphie apparently had already introduced themselves, as Sora seemed to be talking to them casually already. Then again, Sora was cheerful, Selphie was hyper, and Irvine was a charmer. They'll get along easily, but Leon felt they'll soon be the cause of his headaches. Sighing to himself, he helped Sora with the luggage and they soon left for the bus.
He failed to notice that as his shadow moved, a shadow remained on the same spot. Two glowing yellow eyes followed the four going out of the airport, before retreating back into the shadows.

Leon watched Sora and Selphie, sitting across from him, as they shared snacks between them, laughing and talking. Irvine was sitting beside him, seemingly dozing off. Aside from them, only a few people remained on the bus. Most of the people had been dropped off already, but Destiny High happened to require the furthest and therefore, last bus stop.
Destiny High was actually a boarding school, and definitely one of the best. It was situated on an island not too far off the continent, accessible only by boat or its bridge. Made famous for its beautiful large gardens, it also held appeal for its high academic teachings and encouraged kids into a friendly, competitive environment. To also encourage student independence, the student council was made up of only the best students, and it was given power to run and control school affairs. Leon was currently Student Council President.
Before he could brood about what a waste of time it was, he noticed the absence of cheerful chatter. Looking up, he noticed that Selphie and Sora were now silent; Sora was looking around the bus slowly, as if looking for something. Irvine noticed it quickly "Sora? What's wrong?"
"Do you feel…strangely cold?" He asked. Irvine shook his head, but before he could say anything, Selphie screamed.
"Irvine! Move!"
The sudden shock had Leon and Irvine obeying her quickly, and they both dived off their chairs not a second too late as black shadow spikes suddenly shot up to where they had been sitting just a while ago. The spikes reared up, twisted to face the four of them, and yellow eyes glowed maliciously.
"What is that!" Irvine yelled, but sudden screams distracted them from answering. All over the bus, similar black creatures were forming, shooting up from the shadows as black spikes with glowing yellow eyes. One of the spikes shot up through the driver's legs, stabbing him. With a yell of pain, the driver was distracted, and the bus started spinning back and forth.
Out of control.
Sora stumbled, grabbed hold of a pole, only to recoil back when one of the creatures made an attempt to attack him. Before the creature could do anything more, Leon brought a bag crashing down on what he assumed was its head. Selphie tried to do the same, but the bus jerked at its side again, causing her to just smash the creature out the window. There was a loud crash, followed by a shower of broken glass raining down on her, and she quickly brought up her hands to protect her head. The loud noises were causing a strange roaring in her ears, and she wasn't happy. Once the glass stopped falling, she sprang to her feet, only to shout "Sora!"
Sora turned around to see three of the creatures pouncing towards him. His eyes widened as he brought his hands up, only to hear the whizzing of bullets, and suddenly the three creatures dropped in front to him.
From the window that Selphie broke earlier a figure jumped in. The tight leather revealed her as a woman, wearing a helmet to cover her face and hair. She landed beside Sora and immediately shouted "down!" Barely waiting for the response she held up a pistol in each hand and started firing at the black creatures. She was an accurate sharpshooter, but the creatures required three shots before falling. Frequently the girl jumped, dodged, and practically flew around the interior of the bus firing at the monsters, despite the bus' skidding and jerking.
Almost as quickly as the creatures appeared, they were all gone. In their place were several items, which the girl collected instantly, then she turned to the four of them, standing still despite everything, her identity still masked.
"Students of Destiny High, I presume?" She demanded. Leon, Selphie, and Irvine frowned, finding the voice familiar, but unable to place it. She continued "what the hell were you all thinking? Whatever you did before boarding this bus, you shouldn't have done it, because it's obviously attracted the Heartless' attention!"
"Hey!" Sora exclaimed. "They did nothing wrong! All they did was pick me up from the airport!" The girl whirled around to face him, and he could feel the unseen eyes glaring at him, but he glared back. The girl then shook her head.
"I don't recognize you, kid. Accordingly, you shouldn't have gotten those monsters, the Heartless, attention. Yet you have, so I can only say this: Destiny High isn't safe for you, especially this year. Go to where you come from, for if you go, you'll die." The girl then turned and smashed through another window. Rather then fall down like they expected, the bus occupants were shocked to see bat wings spread out from behind the girl's back. In a few flaps, the girl was flying up to the air, a silhouette in the full moon.
There was only a second of silence before Irvine swore "Just what is going on!" Leon turn to them, about to say something, when there was an extremely loud screech, a crash, and suddenly, the bus was no longer jerking everywhere, but moving slowing forward.
"Erm, guys?" Selphie spoke nervously "you might want to look outside." On the other hand, Irvine decided that no, he didn't want to look, but he couldn't help it. What he saw finally stunned him to silence, for the bus was no longer on the road. It had apparently crashed off the cliff.
It was sailing over thin air.
Without warning the bus suddenly plunged downwards, straight into the water. The screaming started again, but this time it was even fewer, as by now most of the bus occupants were unconscious due to the Heartless attack. Surrounded by the screaming, Sora looked at his hands, and just as they finally crashed into the water, a brilliant flash of light lit up and shot straight into the air. Nobody noticed.

"Namine" The voice woke the girl from her sleep. She sat up gracefully from her bed of white silk, and pushed aside the rather translucent curtains. A boy her age, with blond hair and blue eyes, stood at the other side. "Paine has returned. She states that indeed, the bus you told her to follow was attacked by Heartless. She disposed of them and left, just as ordered. Unfortunately, the bus crashed into the sea as soon as she was gone, and she wasn't able to stop it."
"You mean they're all dead?" She asked, a slight touch of panic in her voice.
"No, Paine reports that there was a brilliant column of light that appeared from where the bus fell. When she investigated, the bus and all its occupants are gone. Unfortunately, she cannot find them. However, the incident has caught her attention, and she demands to know more information." Namine shook her head.
"She knows I won't tell her anything, because I cannot trust mercenaries, especially since they could be hired by AVALANCHE and SOLDIER. In the meantime, send Axel and Demyx out to locate the bus occupants, and report to me when they have found them. I need to erase the memories of the civilians so this wouldn't get out until the Keyblade Masters are ready."
"What of the students?"
"We'll let them keep the memory, it might be better if they have them. Besides, I do not believe they will talk about it, it is too unbelievable."
"As you wish," the blond boy turned and talked away. Namine dropped the curtain again, and wrapped herself in her white sanctuary. Closing her eyes, she spoke into the air.
"One of the Keyblade Masters has arrived, but he has not yet awakened. I do not know where the other Keyblade Master, but if one is here; the other will no doubt follow, if he isn't already here waiting. I only know that they have not awaken yet, nor has the eight planets been represented. Cid, you are a fool, gathering all of them to one school. It will soon become a battlefield, with your own students turning against you if necessary. Several SeeDs and Turks have already infiltrated the student body, all in preparation for this event. This is going to explode in your face, and even you must know that."
Is it just me or does it sounds too much like a certain anime show? No, I wasn't aiming for it, but I guess after re-watching it again I got influenced. Any readers out there recognize what anime I'm talking about?
Review and give me suggestions!
