Chapter 2

Terra walked to the living room, sat down on the couch, and turned on the TV. After channel surfing for a few minutes and after seeing a commercial for the annual Struggle tournament that was held every year a week before school started, Terra turned it back off. Terra wasn't much for TV. He decided to go upstairs.

Upstairs there was an ordinary hallway. On the left was a bathroom. The door was open slightly. Inside was a normal white toilet and shower. Across was a beautiful marble counter with a big mirror. Terra looked into the mirror at his own reflection. Nothing much changed since he was a child, except now his hair was grown out. The sides went down past his face. In the middle his hair went back at an angle which ended with more spikes towards the back. His eyes were a bright blue, similar to Aqua's except hers were more gentle looking. Terra was also built. Spending long hours sparring Ven and Hayner gave his body a nice firm build. The occasional push-ups seemed to help too. Terra didn't stand out much aside from his clothes that is. Not many people,in fact no one he knew wore clothes like him. His attire consisted of a black/grey short sleeve T-shirt. Two red bands went over it forming a cross from his shoulders to his waist. Below that he had a black belt tied around his wast keeping his large hakama pants up. His pants were like normal pants except at the bottom where they shot outwards making them baggy yet comfortable and easy to move in. Terra walked back out into the hall.

Next to the bathroom was his mother's room. After she died, he only went in there to smell the scent his mother always carried. Which was almost everyday. He opened the door, inside he got the scent of flowers. His mother loved flowers. She even had her own garden at one point. He looked around at the empty room. Years of dust collected on the dresser and night stand. Terra sat down next to the bed and stared out the window. Kids were happily playing in the streets and in their yards now that school was out everyone was enjoying themselves. Terra got up and headed for his room which was across from the bathroom and his mother's room.

Inside his room was a computer desk with a PC and a table lamp on top. Terra hardly used his computer, but he or Aqua when she visited, often sat in the chair. Next to his desk was his bed. Nothing special about it. It was comfortable though, and big enough for two. When they were little, Aqua and Terra used to sleep together in it. Of course that was before hormones existed. Aqua's mother would probably have a fit if they tried that now. Sunlight poured in from the window next to his bed. The window was open so all the breeze and outside noises came through. There wasn't much else except a closet at the opposite end of the room and a Blitz Ball poster hanging on the wall. His Struggle bat was lying against the door. One year Ven decided to enter the Struggle tournament only to lose 1st place to Seifer. Seifer made fun of him for a week after that. Seifer only won because he fought dirty. Pretending to be hurt then smacking a concerned off guard Ven in the head. Terra finally challenged him to a fight, and after beating him silly and running away with Rajin and Fuujin he stopped bugging Ven. The guy was a creep. Terra decided to spend a couple hours relaxing.

Terra heard a knock at the door. Throwing his now empty soda can away, he ran down stairs to get the door.

"Hi Terra!" Aqua said happily.

"Oh hey Aqua, whats up?"

"Hayner and the others went to the beach earlier and now the four of us are going out to grab some Sea-salt ice cream, do you wanna join us?" she asked

"Sure that'd be great." said Terra happy to have something to do with his friends.

They left Terra's house at around five and went to go meet the guys at the train station. "So what are you gonna do now that schools out?" Aqua asked.

"Haven't really thought about it much, what about you?" Terra asked as they were getting closer to the station.

"Well, we should hang out more now that we have free time." They walked past some elderly couple who were enjoying the quiet and a man taking out his garbage. "We could go to the beach and watch movies or go out for pizza and ice cream."

"Yeah sounds like fun." Terra said.

They spent the rest of the walk planning out their vacation and talking about school and random things. It was then that Terra noticed him. Far to the left on top of a building was a man in a black and white coat. It was hard to tell from far away, but it looked like the coat went down to the man's ankles above black, knee high boots. His pants were also black. On his shoulders were two black shoulder guards. He wore White gloves to hide his hands. Above on his chin, was a grey goatee. The only hair on his bald head besides his equally grey eyebrows. But what struck out most to Terra wasn't his goatee or smirk he had. It was his eyes, his cold yellow eyes.

"What's wrong Terra?" Aqua asked worried and confused at Terra who suddenly stopped walking.

Terra looked back at her. "Look over there that-" Terra's eyes widened.

Aqua looked to where Terra was facing. "I don't see anything. What are you looking at?"

Terra sighed. "It's nothing. Never mind I think my eyes are seeing things." Though Terra wasn't fooling himself much. They continued on their way to the station.

They finally made it to the station. The station overlooked a large balcony. From it you could see most of Twilight Town and the plains past the town. Hayner and the gang were waiting patiently when Aqua and Terra showed up.

"Hey you two!" yelled an excited Olette. Which they in turn greeted back.

After they got their ice cream and after Aqua had to pay for a guilty Terra who forgot to bring money, they decided to take the long way back. Hayner, Pence, and Olette were talking about their day while Aqua and Terra were listening from behind them. Terra was only half listening. He couldn't stop thinking about that man.

"What was with that guy, and why was he looking at me? I've never seen him before, have I? What was with those eyes too? They were freaky." Terra thought.

Aqua seemed to notice. " Why are you so quiet all of a sudden?"

Terra looked up from his melting ice cream. "Aqua, remember before the train station?"

"You mean when you stopped?" Aqua asked.

"Yeah. I saw a man on top of the roof. He was looking at me with these...yellow eyes, but when you looked he vanished!" Terra exclaimed.

"Really? Why was a man on top of the roof looking at you?" Aqua asked confused.

"I'm not sure. I never met him before." Terra said. " He was strange. He wore a giant coat and was bald with a goatee."

"I've never seen a man like that before. Terra are you sure-"

"Yes! Of course I'm sure. I wouldn't make it up!"

"OK. Just asking. Maybe you'll meet him again."

"I don't think i want to." Terra replied

Later that night while Terra was trying to fall asleep, There was a knock at the door.

Terra looked at the clock. 1:44 AM. "Who would visit at this hour?" Terra thought. "Maybe Aqua needs someone to comfort her after a nightmare." Terra joked to himself.

Terra got downstairs to hear more knocking. "Yeah just a sec, I'm coming." Terra said through a yawn.

Terra got to the door and turned the knob. "Nice night, don't you agree Terra?" It was the man from before. His grin couldn't hide the true intention his eyes showed. Before Terra could react, the man lifted his hand and a second later a blast of air hit Terra in the stomach sending Terra flying into his kitchen table. Terra coughed as the yellowed-eyed man walked calmly towards him.

"Terra it's time you started learning about your destiny." he laughed.

"My destiny?" Terra sat up. "What the hell are you saying old man?"

"Oh?" a surprised look in his eyes. "You mean you don't know?" he mocked.

Terra had no idea what this guy's problem was, but he didn't feel like sticking around to find out. He ran past him, who didn't really try to stop Terra either." Why did he let me go?" Terra wondered.

Terra didn't think about it for too long. As he ran upstairs into his room, he grabbed his Struggle bat and jumped out his window. It was the second floor so as Terra landed he rolled at the last second to safely land on the sidewalk below (which he did several times when he was younger).

He ran down the night was calm save for a cat who got spooked by Terra and ran off knocking down some trash cans. The full moon was out and Terra would of admired it if he weren't in this situation. He was running for a good three minutes and there was no sign of yellow eyes anywhere. Maybe the old man couldn't keep up. That was good.

Terra reached a intersection and standing under the street light was Yellow eyes. "Wow Terra, that wasn't very nice running away like that, don't worry though i locked up before I left." he said with an evil grin.
