Chapter 1
"Roxas this man speaks nonsense," a man with red bandages covering his whole head except for one eye and his mouth said in a slightly commanding tone.
"Roxas don't let him deceive you," a boy in his late teens with fiery red hair and piercing green eyes stated.
"Roxas," the man with the bandages said calmly, yet his tone was still commanding.
"Roxas," the teen called desperately. The two people continued saying "Roxas" continuously, their voices blending together and eventually faded into another voice. "Roxas, oi Rox get up bro, we're gonna be late," a voice said unhappily. After a few minutes a boy about fifteen with spiky golden brown hair sat up in his bed and stretched yawning as he did so. "'Bout time, I was about to get a bucket of ice water and dump it on you," a boy also about fifteen with long spiky dark brown hair stated.
At the mention of ice water the boy with lighter hair glared at the other boy and snarled, "Try it Sora and see what happens."
"Whoa ototo chill," Sora said, "I was joking Roxas."
"Ototo my ass, you're only older then me by a couple of minutes," Roxas growled, but his eyes held laughter.
"Three to be exact," Sora stated.
"Whatever, don't be so technical, it's completely against your character," Roxas said as he laughed and got out of his bed.
"Well anyway get ready for school mom will flip if we're late on our first day," Sora replied and left the room. Roxas quickly got dressed for school and left his room. He met Sora downstairs and together the two of them ate a quick breakfast. When they were done they grabbed their things and left for school. "Oi Roxas?" Sora said after a while.
"Hai?" Roxas asked in response.
"Riku and I were thinking about trying out for our school's soccer team, you think we should go for it?"
"Sure why not, I think you two would be awesome considering you guys are some of the bests soccer players I've ever known."
"You serious Roxas?"
"Totally and I'll support you guys every step of the way."
"Awesome thanks bro!"
"No prob Sora."
"So you going for music again?"
"You bet," Roxas said cheerfully.
"I thought you would since you love it so much," Sora replied with a smile.
"Oi Sora, Roxas wait up!" a voice called and they both turned to see a boy about sixteen with silver hair running up, followed by three others.
"Hey Riku, ohayo!" Sora called as the four people joined them, a slight blush on his face.
"Ohayo Sora, how's it going Roxas," the boy with silver hair said and smiled.
"Pretty good and you?" Roxas replied.
"Could be better, course it could always be better," Riku stated and there was a flash of sadness in his eyes, followed by slight anger, before they returned to their normal cerulean blue.
"Sorry man," Roxas said as he nodded his head in understanding.
"Nah it's fine Rox, I'll live," Riku said with a small smile.
"Yeah totally ignore us Rox, thanks a ton," a blond boy about seventeen said.
"Whoops sorry Demyx, my bad," Roxas replied and grinned as he turned to face the blond.
"No big dude," the blond stated and punched Roxas lightly on the arm.
"Okay Dem," Roxas laughed. Demyx laughed too and grinned. "Hey Zexion," Roxas greeted a boy about the same age as Demyx with silverish-blue hair.
"Hey Roxas," the boy responded and then fell silent.
"Aw Zexy cheer up, you're no fun when you're in a bad mood," Demyx whined and hugged Zexion.
"Get off Demyx," Zexion growled.
"No," Demyx said, "Not until you cheer up, course I could always make you." Demyx's eyes gleamed mischievously and Zexion blushed as Demyx kissed his neck. "Ugh really Dem, we already know you two are together, but do you really have to announce it to the world, I mean seriously get a room or somethin,'" Riku groaned as he began to massage his temples.
"That's not a half bad idea," Demyx stated and Zexion's blush deepened.
"We have school Dem, screw your boyfriend later," a new voice chimed in.
"Aw you guys are sooooo boring, c'mon Zexy let's go," Demyx replied as he released Zexion and the two of them walked off, hand in hand.
"Jeez, I swear those two, good grief," the voice that had spoken moments before said.
"No kidding, sheesh," Riku agreed as he put his hands in his pockets. "Oh hey Sora, Roxas, this is a new friend of mine, he just moved here this pass summer, he lives next door to me," Riku said as he gestured to the person next to him and put his hand back in his pocket.
"Name's Axel, got it memorized?" the person said and grinned as Sora and Roxas turned to him. Roxas froze when he saw the person who had just introduced himself; he was tall and lean with fiery red hair and piercing green eyes. He looked to be about eighteen and he had two purple teardrop-shaped tattoos on his face, one under each eye. Roxas started at him stunned, that voice, that hair color, those eyes, why did they all seem familiar, where had he seen them before? "Yo Roxas don't be rude," Sora's voice broke Roxas' trance as Sora waved his hand in front of Roxas' face.
"Oh right, sumimasen, you just look extremely familiar, at any rate I'm Roxas, dozo yoroshiku Axel," Roxas said and smiled.
"I look familiar, huh?" Axel replied.
"Hai, but it's nothing," Roxas stated.
"If you say so," Axel responded, but his eyes were questioning.
"Well anyway, I'm Sora, Roxas and I are twins, welcome to Destiny Island Axel," Sora said as he turned back to Axel.
"Arigato Sora," Axel replied.
"Well now that introductions are over we best be heading to school or we'll be late," Riku said.
"Good idea Riku," Sora replied and the four of them took off.
After a while they came to a large two storey building and saw Demyx and Zexion talking with two other girls. "Hey guys!" one of the two girls called and waved at the four of them. The boys joined the small group and Sora hugged the girl who had called them. "Ohayo Kairi," Sora greeted the girl with a smile.
"Hey Sora, ohayo Roxas," the girl said as Sora released her and she brushed some of her reddish-brown hair behind her ear.
"Ohayo Kairi, hello Namine," Roxas replied and smiled at the other girl.
"Hello Roxas," the girl said with a gentle smile and started playing with a strand of her pale blond hair nervously.
"Namine you nervous 'bout school starting again?" Roxas asked.
"Yeah a little," Namine answered and laughed lightly.
"Everything will be fine cuz," Kairi stated with a gentle smile and gave Namine a reassuring hug. Namine smiled in silent thanks and stopped messing with her hair.
"Oh beautiful, bitch alert," Demyx said and everyone turned to see another girl about Demyx's age with golden blond hair walking toward them. "Shit it's Larxene, run for it," Demyx stated as the girl joined them.
"I heard that Demyx, I'd watch it if I were you," the girl replied, "So I suggest you keep you're mouth shut."
"Ooh scary and why should I," Demyx said and crossed his arms.
"'Cause your voice is annoying," Larxene replied rudely.
"Ooh harsh Larx," Demyx whined.
"That's what you get baka," Larxene stated.
"All right you two that's enough," Riku said.
"Yeah, yeah whatever," Larxene replied.
"Anyway meet the new addition to our group, this is Axel, he's my neighbor, Axel this is Kairi, Namine, and Larxene," Riku said.
"Hey nice to meet'cha," Axel replied and grinned.
"Hey Axel," Kairi greeted.
"Hello," Namine said.
"Yo," Larxene replied.
"Hello students, I hate to interrupt your little get together, but you have five minutes to get to your first class, so I suggest you leave now," a deep voice said and everyone turned to see a very angry man with black hair standing behind them.
"Ah, p…Professor Xaldin, s…sorry sir we were just leaving," Roxas replied, "Have a good day." At that they all split up and went to their classes. "Who was that?" Axel asked as he, Riku, Sora, and Roxas all left.
"The strictest history teacher in the history of history teachers," Riku answered.
"No kidding and I have him for my third class, ugh," Roxas said.
"Same here," Sora replied with a frown.
"Ooh that sucks," Riku stated.
"Tell me 'bout it," both Sora and Roxas groaned.
"Well I gotta split, see you at lunch guys," Riku said and left.
"Same here, see you," Axel replied and left as well. Sora and Roxas waved bye to the two of them and took off for their next class, which thankfully they shared.
They entered the classroom and sat in two desks in the back. "So when you gonna tell him?" Roxas asked.
"Huh?" Sora answered.
"Really Sora, it's obvious you have a crush on Riku, you've had it for like three years," Roxas said.
"Oh that, I don't know, I doubt he returns my feelings, so probably never," Sora replied and blushed. Roxas sighed and shook his head. "What?" Sora asked, confused.
"Nothing," Roxas answered, "It's not for me to tell bro."
"Awww Roxas, tell me," Sora whined and Roxas shook his head. Sora huffed as he crossed his arms and fell into a pout. Roxas laughed and a moment later the teacher walked into the room. He wrote something on the board and turned. "Welcome to English two, I am Professor Luxord," the man said as he crossed his arms. "This year English is not going to be easy and I expect the best from all of you, is that clear?" Luxord replied and the whole class nodded. "Good, now that that's out of the way, today we are going to be going over the class rules and regulations, now pay attention and take notes because there will be a test on them Friday," Luxord stated and turned to the board.
Later that day Roxas was walking with Sora to their next classes, talking. "Okay so far our English teacher is okay, our Chemistry teacher is a complete psychopath, and our History teacher is strict and a total asshole," Roxas said.
"Yeah pretty much, dude Professor Vexen freaks me out man," Sora replied and shuddered.
"Yeah he is kinda freaky," Roxas laughed.
"Kinda freaky?" Sora said.
"Okay really freaky," Roxas replied, "Well I gotta split, music class is right here, see you at lunch." Sora waved bye as he walked off and Roxas entered his classroom. "Yo Roxas sit with us," a voice called and Roxas spotted Demyx and Zexion. Roxas joined his friends and grinned. "So how has the day been going for you so far?" Demyx asked.
"Pretty good minus the fact that my Chemistry teacher's psycho and my history teacher is an ass," Roxas answered.
"Just guessing, but Vexen and Xaldin," Demyx said.
"Yeah," Roxas replied.
"Beautiful, talk about lame," Demyx stated.
"No kidding man," Roxas agreed.
"Move over pal," a voice said and Roxas turned to see Larxene standing behind him. He glared at her, but moved over a seat and let her sit down. Then the four of them started discussing their teachers and what they did over the summer while they waited for their instructor to show up. "Hey this seat taken?" a voice asked and Roxas turned to see Axel standing behind him, pointing to the chair next to him.
"Nah you can sit there Axel," Roxas said and smiled.
"Thanks man," Axel replied with a grin and sat down.
"Wonder what Old Xig's got planned for this year," Demyx said.
"Who knows with that man," Zexion replied.
"Who's Old Xig?" Axel asked.
"He's our music instructor, he's real laid back, but he's also kinda an asshole. His actual name is Xigbar, but all his students call him Old Xig," Roxas answered and a man in his thirties with black hair with gray streaks in it entered the classroom. "Speak of the devil," Demyx stated as the man laid a guitar case on the desk in the front of the room.
"All right you losers, welcome back to music class, as you all know I am your instructor Xigbar and since most of you already know the rules for this class because you've had me before, for those who are new the rules are simple: pay attention, don't interrupt when someone is talking or playing, and don't ever try to leave this class with out permission, other then that this class is pretty laid back, you can do whatever you want whenever you want as long as it's dealing with music, and also remember to always give it your best and you'll pass with flying color, any questions?" the man said as he turned to face the class and everyone was silent. "None, good saves me the time and the effort, no that that's all over and done with I want you to break up into groups of five and decide on three songs for you to play at our up coming concert, hop to it," Xigbar replied as he sat down and the classroom filled with voices.
After a while the class ended and Xigbar stood up. "All right you are to practice your scales tonight, see you tomorrow," Xigbar stated and everyone left.
"You have lunch right now right?" Demyx asked.
"Yeah," Roxas answered.
"All right see you later then," Demyx said and left with Larxene and Zexion.
"So you're into music huh Axel?" Roxas asked as he and Axel headed to the cafeteria.
"Yeah, I play guitar and sing, I also write songs," Axel answered.
"Same here, maybe we can practice together sometime," Roxas said with a smile.
"That sounds good to me," Axel replied with a grin as they entered the cafeteria and met up with Sora and Riku.
Later that day school ended and the group of friends started to walk home. They all went their separate ways and soon Roxas and Sora were left alone. "So Roxas how was music?" Sora asked.
"Pretty good actually, Old Xig is the same old same, that and Axel has music with Demyx, Zexion, Larxene, and I," Roxas answered happily.
"Really cool," Sora said with a smile.
"Yeah it is, he apparently plays guitar too," Roxas replied.
"That's neat," Sora said, "You two should play together sometime."
"That's what I said," Roxas replied and grinned.
"So what do you think about Axel bro?" Sora asked.
"He's pretty cool, I think we'll be great friends," Roxas responded.
"That all?" Sora questioned.
"Yeah, wait what are you trying to get at Sora?" Roxas answered.
"Oh nothing," Sora said and smirked.
"Oi Sora I know that look, what are you trying to do?" Roxas stated, "Not cool bro, so not cool." Sora laughed and ran ahead. Roxas huffed, irritated, and followed his brother.
