File 02: Tsuki High School » Volume 1

You know, the first four chapters is a full on introduction of the story and its characters for it to settle in. Mainly in this chapter, you will see Kairi and Yuffie on their first day of high school, well, Kairi's very first day. More KH characters are going to be introduced in this and later on.

Also, each chapter gets longer as it goes on and it's no longer like Amazing Agent Luna. The dialogue and some scenes from the manga appear in this chapter.

Genre: Adventure/Romance

An alarm clock roared in Kairi's room and she slammed her hand on it a little violently, slowly rolling around her bed. It was her very first day of school, and she didn't know what to do. She got up from her bed, rubbing her eyes and fighting back sleep. Her room was simple. Her bed was nestled in the corner of the wall. A window streamed the gentle morning sunlight onto a plain but beautiful cherry wood desk and the computer that sat upon it. Right after that was her closet, which also had the secret passageway to Yuffie's and her HQ for their Kingdom Hearts paraphernalia. And lastly there was TV in front of her bed, and beside that were a Playstation 3 and Wii. She thought she found it odd there was already a couple of gaming consoles in her room.

Kairi looked at her desk. Beside the computer, there was a yellow post-it note and two sets of clothes neatly folded. She picked up the note, which read: Here are the uniforms you're going to wear when you attend Tsuki High. The one on the left is what you'll wear for the first semester. The one on the right is for wear second semester. It's the whole winter and spring thing. Love, Mom.

She took a look at the winter uniform. It sported a white polo with a dark navy vest covering it, a plaid skirt the color of a cloudless summer sky that went down to her mid-thigh, a pair of socks the same color as the vest that nearly met her knees. The spring wear was no different apart from the absence of the vest. Yuffie stormed in her room, already clad in her uniform and carrying her messenger bag.

"I like these uniforms!" she declared. "I can see they improved and ditched the sailor outfit." Yuffie then noticed that Kairi was still in her pajamas, her uniform and brown penny loafers on her desk. "Why aren't you dressed?"

"I just got up," Kairi answered. "Plus, it's only seven o' eight. School doesn't start till nine."

"Oh," Yuffie said. "But isn't there only one school here in Tsuki City?"

"Yes there is, and it's a good ways from here," a man's voice interrupted, and Cloud stepped in. "And might takes a while to get there, so I suggest we should leave soon. But first is breakfast."

"Where is my mom?" Kairi asked.

"She's making French toast and bacon," Cloud called over his shoulders as he went downstairs.

"Well I better get ready," Kairi continued, shoving Yuffie out of her room.

"Hey! We're best friends!" Yuffie protested, standing outside the doorway.

"Yeah, but there comes a time when I need privacy." Kairi then slammed the door directly in Yuffie's face.

"Well, I'm going to eat your French toast and bacon!" Yuffie teased. "See ya!" Her quick, light footsteps pitter-pattered away.

"Oh no you don't, Yuffie!" Kairi protested loudly, rushing to put on her clothes.

~ Secret Agent Kairi ~

"Our plans have been foiled due to the infiltration of the building!" A man yelled at a group of people. They all sat around a circular table, the shadows of the room cloaking their faces from view. "That agency, Kingdom Hearts, had managed to get hold of the data that had our plans!"

"Why don't we think of a new plan?" another man suggested mildly.

"Impossible!" the man replied vehemently. "That would take weeks or maybe months to plan!" The man, who seemed to be the leader, began to get up stalk his way around the others. "We will still live by our villain group name... but Kingdom Hearts doesn't know our cover name. They don't even know how we look like."

"And what about the girl? She seems more of a threat," a female pointed out.

"The girl is a sign of trouble, but we know nothing about her other than the fact she works for Kingdom Hearts. Find out next time our girl shows up," the leader demanded.

"Yes, sir!" they all said in almost forced synchronization

The "family" arrived at Tsuki High School. For being the only school in the entire city, the school was huge inside and out. There were many teenagers in the area already wearing the same uniforms as Kairi, but she noticed that the boys were all wearing black gakurans. Some had theirs open just showing a white shirt seeing it would seem it could get hot since you're wearing black.

The five-story-high building was shaped like an upside down U. Right behind the school was the gym that held a basketball court with the PE lockers and showers. To the right of that was a soccer field with the track field surrounding it and a swimming pool. South of that pool was a "relax zone", a park where the students could hang out, and to the left of the main building was the parking lot. A beautiful marble fountain with sparkling water lay beside the school. All in all, it's a very large place to fit all the students of Tsuki High.

"We'll be meeting with the principal," Aerith told Kairi and Yuffie just before she departed with Cloud into the building. Kairi was having a nervous breakdown. All her nerve and excitement disappeared in an instant, leaving worry like a snake in its death throes in her stomach. She was scared.

"Maybe tomorrow will do," Kairi murmured, attempting to walk away. Yuffie snagged her by the shoulders and spun her around. Their eyes, blue and green, met.

"Now just hold up! We're doing this together! School starts in thirty minutes. We didn't stay almost an hour in traffic for this," Yuffie reprimanded her fiercely. "Now you're going to walk proud! Say it!"

"I'm going to walk proud," Kairi said weakly, not meaning it.

"I can't hear you!" Yuffie said.

"I'm going to walk proud!"

"You're not gonna let anybody bring you down!"

"I'm not gonna let anybody bring me down!"

"That's right! Now let's walk together!"

Kairi and Yuffie strode side by side through the entrance. They just kept passing by the various students, not giving of damn what would happen. Kairi was suddenly confident, her hands steady and eyes clear and bright. But all it took was one little trip in front of everybody to suck all the self-esteem right out of her. There was an assortment of laughs and chuckles, and Kairi's face reddened. Yuffie helped her up.

"Let's just get into the building already," Yuffie chirped, dragging Kairi with her. The two "sisters" entered the building. There were already lockers in front of them. Each locker was on top of another, which meant people could get into each other's way.

"We should find the office," Kairi suggested.

"Yeah, lets," Yuffie agreed. They went past the lockers and into the hallway that had left and right corridors branching off it. The office was right by the stairs. The two walked inside to see the staff already working.

"Excuse me," Yuffie said in an official tone, going up to the woman in front.

"Yes?" the woman said, peering at the two girls with glasses-rimmed eyes. There were lines around her face that made her look more aged than she should.

"We're the new students here," Yuffie answered.

"Ah yes, Kairi and Yuffie Strife," the woman said, sliding off through a door to fetch their things.

"Kairi and Yuffie Strife?" Kairi wondered quietly. Why did she have Strife in her name when it was usually Gainsborough? Sure, Cloud was pretending to be their father, but surely that didn't make her a Strife?

"I want to thank the two of you for coming," Rinoa Heartily, the cheerful-sounding, outspoken principal, stated, nodding gratefully toward Cloud and Aerith. "Here in Tsuki High School, we try our best for the adults to get involved here. Now tell me about your daughters, Mr. and Mrs. Strife."

"Excuse me, Ms. Heartily, I would like it if you called me Ms. Gainsborough," Aerith told her. She always wanted to be called that. Even when she got married, she still kept her maiden name.

"But you two are married, right?" Rinoa asked, raising her eyebrows dubiously and sounding a little surprised.

"Of course we are," Cloud confirmed, putting his arm around Aerith. "We are very happily married."

"Okay then, what's a family if there isn't love in it?" Rinoa agreed with a smile on her face. "We also try to know about any situations taking place at home so we can give each student a different experience here in Tsuki."

"That's great," Cloud replied.

"Now tell me about yourselves and your daughters," Rinoa requested.

"My wife and I work for the Japanese government. We have home schooled Kairi up until now. Yuffie left at the end of middle school, but we wanted to bring her back," Cloud explained. It wasn't a lie, exactly.

"I must tell you though, Kairi has never socialized with people her age," Aerith added. "She may have her sister, but that's about it. My husband and I thought she needed more friends."

"Don't worry about it then," Rinoa replied brightly. "Tsuki High is one of the greatest schools here in Japan. Some of the students here are children to big companies and well-known scientists and such. It's no different that everybody has to fit in. It's how high school works."

Yuffie's eyelids slowly started to droop. Her teacher and the classroom blurred before her. She was already falling asleep in class, and it was only homeroom. The real classes didn't even start yet, and her teacher was boring as hell. There was no excitement or anything fun in the class. "Oh, just shut up with that prison warden voice!" Yuffie complained loudly, dropping her head on her desk with a thud.

~ Secret Agent Kairi ~

"Class, we have a new student this year," friendly Ms. Shimizu declared, Kairi's homeroom teacher. "This is Kairi Strife. It's her first day of school, so please socialize with her, or you'll having a saying with me."

Everybody's eyes were all on Kairi. She was getting nervous with all the stares, and her stomach began to flutter. Suddenly that bacon and French toast seemed to turn to ash. "Now why don't you take an empty seat so we can get class started."

Kairi spotted an empty seat in the front row beside a girl with short brown hair. She was heading for the seat when the brown-haired girl dropped her bag in the empty seat. "Whoops!" the girl said in a snobby voice. "This seat is taken. Guess you'll have to find another one." Kairi didn't respond. She didn't know how to act for something like this.

"Psst." Kairi looked behind her. A longhaired brunette girl with friendly green eyes was gesturing to a seat just behind her own. "You can have a seat over here." Kairi smiled and headed over, settling down in the desk.

"Thank you," Kairi said.

"No problem," the girl replied. "My name is Olette. This here is-" Olette looked at a blond guy, who lay snoring softly in a seat just in front of her, then smacked the back of his head to wake him up. "Roxas!"

"Hey!" the guy complained, rubbing the back of his head ruefully. "That hurt."

"You'll get over it," Olette said briskly, turning back her attention to Kairi. "I'm sorry, this is Roxas, and I'm sure he would love to introduce himself.

"Would I?" Roxas asked dazedly. Olette glared at him. "I mean, of course," he said a little quickly. "Name's Roxas."

"Nice to meet you, Roxas." Kairi dipped her head to him. "I must say you have such gravity defying hair."

"That's so true," Olette laughed.

"Yes, and that is because I have such great hair," Roxas retorted with a superior air, running his hand over his hair sublimely. Kairi and Olette both giggled.

"Roxas," their homeroom teacher called out. "Stop talking about your hair, and let's get to class. We only have ten minutes."

"Yes, Ms. Shimizu," Roxas said, shooting an annoyed glance at the girls as if he blamed them for getting him in trouble.

"Now then," their teacher went on breezily, taking a seat. "Have you guys played Wii Music? Isn't is so awesome?" Kairi looked at her in surprise. She seemed to be one of those cool teachers that have fun with the students. Her classmates were all chatting.

"Um, what is going on?" Kairi asked.

"Ms. Shimizu is a cool English teacher. She is awesome, funny, and sometimes random," Roxas answered. "Like when she was invited for a friend's wedding, she made us have a quiz because of it."

"And when after she came from the wedding," Olette added, "she said: fools rush in. We all eyed her."

"What's up with that girl that dropped her bag?" Kairi asked.

"That's Selphie Tilmitt, the top social girl," Olette growled, wrinkling her nose as if there was something repulsive beneath it. "She's really snobby, and she kind of rules the school. Every time a new student comes in, especially a girl, she feels that her reputation is jeopardized. Implying that she feels that you are a threat."

"Me?" Kairi said in surprise.

"Yeah. You are better than her," Olette said vehemently.

The bell rang a high octave that made Kairi's spine stiffen and her ears ache.

"Well, I guess that's it." Olette stood, grabbing her binder and bag. "Seeing as our homeroom class has all the same classes except the two electives, the three of us have PE next..."

A whistle blew with an earsplitting intensity. "All right, you weaklings!" the tall, bulky, black-headed teacher yelled. "Give me five laps around the track!" In PE, the girls wore light blue high shorts and a plain white shirt. The boys were clad the same except their shirts were light blue, almost the same color as their shorts.

The students groaned at their task and started to trot halfheartedly. Kairi was among the only ones that didn't complain and sprinted off in front of everyone's eyes.

"Whoa!" Selphie gasped, her eyes surprised and angry. "Who does she think she is? Marion Jones?"

"I guess our friend can run," Roxas commented to Olette with eyebrows raised.

Kairi had her five laps run in a little under five minutes. The coach seemed to miss this fact. "Why aren't you running, Ms. Strife?" he interrogated her with hard eyes.

"I'm done, sir. That was nothing," Kairi told him. She wasn't sweating and didn't look winded or tired. It was like she didn't even do the run.

"That's odd; usually all my students finish in about twice that time. Well, whatever, I'll let it go," he murmured, looking back at his clipboard.

It was finally lunch, so all the students were making their way into the cafeteria. The cafeteria took up a huge portion of the first floor. For a big student body, a big cafeteria is needed. Once their lunch is fetched, some students just hung around outside the school or at the relaxing area/park.

Kairi, Olette, and Roxas manage to find a table in the cafeteria. "So how is your first day going?" Olette asked Kairi.

"It's going fine. Our homeroom is basically in my history, math, science, and English classes," Kairi answered.

"People adjust quickly to this school," Olette informed her, breaking apart her chopsticks for her ramen. Roxas was snacking on onigiri, or rice balls. Kairi started on a bento. She looked around the area to see students eating, waiting in line, and such. Then something caught her eye. It was a boy that looked almost just like Roxas.

She knew it wasn't Roxas, because Roxas was beside her, and this guy had chestnut brown spiky hair. Almost as spiky as Cloud's. She was just staring at him as he walked on by. Could he be Roxas's twin brother or something?

"Hello, Kairi?" Olette said, waving her hand in front of Kairi's face. "Earth to Kairi?" She snapped her fingers. The noise jolted Kairi out of her reverie. Olette came close to her and looked at the direction she had been looking earlier.

"Ah, I see you've got an eye out for Roxas's brother, Sora," she commented.

"Sora who?" Kairi asked cluelessly.

"Sora Hikaru," Roxas answered her. "My brother. He is the school's team captain of both the soccer team and swim team. He still manages to get better grades than me. He's the sports person, and I'm the musician per-"

"Kairi! Thank God I found you!" A familiar voice cried out, and Yuffie was suddenly there, shoving Roxas aside like a rag doll and taking his seat. "So much for my senior year being awesome. My teachers suck."

"Who is this?" Roxas said, looking like an insulted puppy. "And why did she have to push me out of my seat?"

"I'm sorry Roxas. This is my fri- I mean, my sister, Yuffie," Kairi introduced the dark-haired girl. She almost said Yuffie was her friend. She technically was, but Yuffie was posing as her sister.

"Nice to meet Kairi's sister," Olette chirped, shaking Yuffie's hand.

"And so am I to meet my little sis's new fond friends. You all are…"

"Olette."

"Roxas."

"And who is this guy I'm hearing about?" Yuffie asked with a mischievous glint in her dark eyes.

"Yuffie, no," Kairi pleaded.

"His name is Sora, and he's over there in the waiting line," Olette responded, tilting her head toward the line.

"He actually he looks cute for you Kairi," Yuffie teased, craning her head to look at the spiky-haired guy better.

"Will you guys stop it?" Kairi begged as her face flushed. Roxas watched in amusement. He knew Kairi was having a thing for his brother.

"Thanks to Agent Kairi, we foiled Organization XIII's plans of their illegal experiments on plants and for using them as weapons," Leon, whose face was displayed on the large screen in Aerith and Cloud's Headquarters, told them.

"Do you know what they were planning to do?" Aerith asked.

"We're not sure of their motive, but at least we stopped whatever it was before it was too late," Leon answered.

"Any leads on what they look like or anything about their identities?" Cloud questioned.

"No, we haven't, but we'll notify you as soon as possible." Leon then disappeared from the big computer screen, leaving it blank and gunmetal gray.

"I wonder what they were planning to do with those bio weapons," Aerith wondered aloud.

"Who knows?" Cloud shrugged, getting up from his seat. "They were probably going to use them to take over Japan or something."

"That sounds so cliché for evil villains," Aerith pointed out, looking up at him.

"And that's what they always want. World domination. Doesn't every villain want that?"

Aerith giggled. "You make me laugh Cloud," she admitted, facing the computer again.

Cloud went up the steps, and then he paused. "I have to pick up Kairi and Yuffie now. You coming?" he called over his shoulder. Aerith turned around again.

"I'll meet up."

"Okay."

"Organization XIII, what are they planning...?" Aerith pondered to herself.

School was over, and Kairi had survived her very first day of high school, which she thought was going to terrible. But she made two good friends that were actually her age. She felt excited all of sudden of her first day and sort of knew of what to do. One thing for sure was to stay away from Selphie.

"Isn't high school wonderful, Kairi?" Yuffie chirped as the two girls walked from the building.

"It sure is Yuffie. I never thought it would be like this."

"I can't believe you already have your first crush!" squeaked Yuffie happily.

Kairi tipped her head to one side. "What?" Kairi actually didn't know what a crush was.

"A crush."

"You mean I have to crush that guy I saw in the cafeteria?" Kairi asked in confusion. "Is he undercover or something?"

Yuffie looked at her "sister" oddly. "Sweet naïve Kairi," she purred, patting Kairi on the shoulder. "He's not an undercover agent."

"Then what is a crush?" Kairi persisted.

"A crush is when a someone likes another person. In this case, you like Sora," Yuffie answered.

"I don't like him. I don't even know him other than the fact he's Roxas's twin brother," Kairi defended herself hotly.

"That's a start. You can have Roxas tell you about him.." Then the two stopped at the front gate where Cloud had finally pulled in front of them.

"Cloud is here. Getting in now," Kairi muttered evasively. Yuffie rolled her eyes and got in. Kairi was blind to see how much she liked Sora, but since she didn't know anything about love, who could blame her?

There you have it. I know there are more KH characters and they will make an appearance. Just in the upcoming chapters. I hope you guys enjoyed reading this.

Thanks for reading!
