A/N: Woohoo! First KH fic! This has been in my head for a while now, and I just couldn't resist.
WARNING: THIS FIC CONTAINS SEVERAL MALE/MALE RELATIONSHIPS. IF THIS BOTHERS YOU IN ANY WAY, DON'T READ!
Pairings (eventual): Riku/Sora, Axel/Roxas, Rufus/Reno, Leon/Cloud, Zexion/Demyx, Sai'x/Marluxia, and any others that decide to pop up.
Disclaimer: Don't own any of the KH or Final Fantasy characters, but I do own Shade and any non-Square characters in this fic, unless stated otherwise. There is also a bit of Cloud/Reno at the beginning.
Note: There will be no lemons in this fic cuz I don't have the guts to write 'em. However, if one of you writes a good one and would like it to be in this fic, I have no problems adding it in.
If the school system seems odd, I'm basing it off of my high school in California, namely West Hills High School. There, we attended the same classes the whole school year, but we attended six classes a day, and each class was 55 minutes. The required classes were English, History, Math, and then either Chem, Bio, or Physics, with the remaining two classes as electives (Art, Drama, etc...). There were also Period 0 and Period 7 classes, extra classes that could be taken before or after school, respectively.
And just so you know the grade levels:
Cloud, Loz, Yazoo, Leon, Marluxia, Sai'x Grade Twelve
Reno, Axel, Shade, Rude, Elena, Rufus, Demyx, Zexion, Roxas, Sora, Riku, Kadaj Grade Eleven
Kairi, Namine, Olette, Hayner, Pence Grade Ten
Also, the teachers:
Vincent: Biology
Ansem: History
Vexen: Chemistry
Tseng: English
Xemnas: Math
Reeve: Physics
Cid: Phys Ed/ Shop Class
Aerith: Art/ Cosmetology
Quistis: Drama/ Comm Tech
Lucrecia: School Nurse (not really a teacher, though she does help Vince with Bio)
Hehehe. You'll also be surprised when you find out who Riku and Leon's father is.
Now, on to the show.
--------------Chapter One
"Guys, come on! We're gonna be late for the first day of class!" Marluxia's frustrated yell drifted through the open window on the second floor, and he could hear muttered curses from inside. Without further warning, the front door burst open and three identical redheads came running out, the last one slamming and locking the door. The pink haired teen shook his head in annoyance from where he waited by the car.
His younger brothers were triplets, and some of the biggest trouble makers that Traverse Town had ever known. Reno, the firstborn of the three, openly flirted with everything that moved and was part of a small gang called the Turks, whose job included watching over Rufus Shinra, the Principal's son. Marluxia had a feeling that Reno had a thing for Rufus, but the redhead denied it. The red tattoos under his eyes were something he got on a dare, and though he protested at the time he had come to like the result. At the moment he was wearing worn-out blue jeans and a black button up shirt with the top three buttons left open. Smirking, he hopped into the car.
Axel, the middle of the three, was almost exactly like Reno, though he was a little toned down and didn't drink as much as his older triplet. He didn't smoke like him either, though Axel was a notorious pyro. The black diamond tattoos under his eyes were a result of the same dare that Reno got his from, though he had willingly went along. He was sporting a black hoodie with flame patterns on the sleeves and a pair of black jeans with thick leather boots. His wild hair flowed past his shoulders, unbound.
The youngest of the three was Shade. With the same flaming hair and jade green eyes as his brothers, he was generally better behaved. But he shared the same sarcastic streak as the others, and could be just as scary when angered. The blood red tattoo over his left eye was actually done before his other triplets, and was the spark for the dare that resulted in theirs. He was wearing skin tight black leather pants, a dark red leather vest, and fingerless black gloves that went to just above his elbows. He also wore a black collar around his neck studded with red gems, with a long chain hanging down from the back, ending almost at his feet. At the end of the chain was a thick metal pendant with a rose engraved in it.
As Axel and Shade hopped in after Reno, with Shade taking the front passenger seat, Marluxia silently wished that the three of them would keep the trouble to a minimum this year...Or at least wait until tomorrow to start the pranks.

The incessant beeping of the alarm clock was what woke Cloud. He sat up slowly and blinked, wondering why he was getting up so early. Then it hit him. School!
Crap, he thought. He ran to get dressed, in his typical blue vest and black cargos, and ran downstairs, only to find that his other siblings were waiting.
Larxene, their mother, was excitedly fixing Namine's hair, while Demyx, and the twins Sora and Roxas were getting the typical 'First Day Speech' from their father, Luxord. (I know, you're all thinking WTF!)
As Cloud came into the room, all eyes turned to him and he chuckled nervously.
Yup, he thought. Typical morning in the Strife Household.

As the black hummer pulled into the student drop off lane, a blue van cut him off and the brunette behind the wheel slammed on the brakes and honked the horn. He was a little surprised to see that the blond woman in front flip him off. The sliding door on the van opened and five students, all but one of which were blond, hurried out of the van, with the blond woman smiling encouragingly to the only girl of the group. Then the van was off.
In a huff, the brunette got out of the car and walked around to the passenger side, opening the huge door. He was nearly trampled as the three silver haired teenagers came flying from the middle row and took off running, mischievous looks on their faces. His nephews could be such a pain.
He heard a sniffle next to him and turned to the man that had previously been sitting in the front passenger seat. Ah, yes. His brother, Sephiroth. The slightly shorter silver haired man fought back tears as he watched his three sons running to meet up with their friends.
"They sniff grow up so fast, don't they?" Seph sniffled again. The brunette rolled his eyes, as the hummer's two other occupant's exited the vehicle. Ah, his pride and joy, his own two sons. The oldest, Squall, or Leon as he liked to be called, was a brunette just like his father, with a scar running diagonally across the bridge of his nose, the result of a fight back in their old home town. The younger, however, had silver hair like his uncle, Sephiroth. He also had the same eerie aqua eyes that his uncle and father both shared.
Riku looked at his uncle strangely. "Dad, is Uncle Seph always like this?"
His father replied back with a simple "Yes."
Riku nodded, then he and Leon headed for the Principal's office. This was their first time in a new school, where most of the other students had already been here for previous years.
Hearing Sephiroth sniffle again, the brunette turned and smacked his younger brother in the back of the head. "Stop that. You're a grown man, for God's sake."
Seph pouted. "But two of my boys are graduating this year." His brother rolled his eyes as he hopped back into the driver's seat. "So is Squall, but you don't see me bawling about it."
Sephiroth glared at his brother as he got back in and closed the door. "You can be such an ASS, Genesis."
Genesis smirked and drove on.

Sora sat down at his desk with a sigh. It had been a great summer, but now it was over, and it was time to get going with schoolwork again. Bleh, he thought. This sucks.
He looked around to see if any of his friends were in the class. Roxas, his twin, was there, and the blond looked just as down as him. That was, until three red heads walked in. Roxas perked up when he saw Axel. The two had been close friends since the Strifes had moved here eight years ago. Sora suspected something else might be going on, when he saw Axel's wide grin and Roxas's blush, but then dismissed that thought. Cloud was the gay son in the family, and their father would flip if he found out another son was gay.
Speaking of Cloud, the older blond's boyfriend, Reno, sat down at the desk in front of Sora. The brunette narrowed his eyes. Reno liked to mess around with the people around him during class, and Sora really didn't want to get in trouble on his first day. Then he noticed something.
On Reno's upper right arm, almost completely covered by the black sleeve of his shirt, was a deep purple bruise. He wasn't sure, but it seemed to be in the shape of a hand print. As Reno turned to look his way, Sora quickly averted his eyes, and ended up meeting the emerald gaze of Shade, the third Tarshil triplet. Sora was about to say something, but Shade shook his head with an expression that said it was best to leave it alone. Maybe he could ask Cloud later.
Once more looking around, Sora also noticed Zexion Valentine sitting in the front. Figures, he thought. The kid is a book worm, and to top that, his father is the teacher.
As if on cue, the door opened again, and Mr. Valentine walked into the classroom, headed towards the large whiteboard at the front of the class.
"As some of you may know, my name is Mr. Vincent Valentine, and I will be your Biology teacher for the school year. To start things off, this year you will be learning-"
He was cut off as the door slammed open. All of the students turned to look at the door, and Sora's eyes widened. The person in the door had silvery white hair and amazing aqua eyes that almost seemed to glow. The brunettes cheeks reddened when he realized he was checking out a guy, and wondered just how many of the males in their family happened to like guys.
The silver haired boy looked sheepishly at the teacher after he had caught his breath. "Sorry about that. It took me forever to find the right room."
Vincent closed his red eyes with a sigh as he ran a hand through his short black hair (a la Turks). "It's quite all right. Well, since you must be new to the area, since you are the only person here who hasn't been to this school before, how about you introduce yourself to the class."
Thirty faces turned to the front of the class, eager for new blood. The silver haired teen's sheepish grin returned. "My name is Riku Leonhart, and I've just moved here recently from Hollow Bastion."
Vincent nodded. "Why don't you take a seat. It seems the only free desk is next to Sora over there."
Sora looked to his left and realized that was indeed true. As Riku took a seat next to him, the aqua eyed boy turned to Sora. "Hey."
The brunette replied with a nervous "H-hey" of his own.
Mr. Valentine then cleared his throat and the class turned it's attention to him again. "As I was saying, this year you will be learning..."
As the teacher went on, Sora sank into his seat. Another year of mind numbing torture at Kismet High. Yippee.
