Sora struggled himself from the men in black. His eyes began to droop slowly and the last thing he saw was Riku, lowering the car window

- - -

The three men in black dragged Sora somewhere. It was too dark to see but regardless, they placed him in some kind of lukewarm water. The brunette opened his eyes a little and hears a few voices.

"It's wearing off..."

"Should we apply..."

"Where am I?" Sora asked softly but his eyes began to droop once again as he fell asleep.

"Let's begin." someone said and all hands were shadowed on his body.

- - -

Meanwhile at school, all the students were at the classroom gathering around the table where Sora always sits. All of them were wondering why he hasn't came yet.

"The black-tagged boy isn't here?" a male student asked.

"Maybe he's already 'taken care of'." another student replied.

"He should quit while he's at it besides he should not mess with Riku." a girl student said and the entire class laughed. Kairi on the other hand just stare at the empty seat.

- - -

Everything went blurry in Sora's eyesight until he was able to see clearly. He was sitting on a chair trying to focus. Finally, his eyesight became clear. To his surprise, he was not in school and second, he was not wearing his school uniform. Instead, he was wearing black leather shoes, long white pants, a pair of Cosmic Arts bracelets on each side of his wrists, a black undershirt and to cover it up, a long black trenchcoat. The brunette wondered where all this came from until he saw Riku from behind the mirror. He turned his head around, anger was coursing through his mind.

"What is this?" Sora growled in anger now that he realized his location: The Tasogare Mansion.

"Withdraw!" Riku replied.

"Eh?" Sora questioned at him.

"One hundred million munny." Riku said, bluntly.

"What!!" Sora roared in anger.

"You declared war so here's my proposal: The hair and spa treatments is thirty million, the shoes cost twenty million, the pants cost ten million, Trenchcoat and undershirt cost thirty million and the rest of the accessories cost ten million as well. With these, it's a grand total of one hundred million munny. I'll even lend these things for you." Riku said as he stare at the brunette. Sora stood silent for a while then anger coursed through his mind again.

"Are you pushing me to a debt on purpose?" the brunette shouted angrily.

"Well, like I said before, you declared war so withdraw one hundred million munny." Riku smirked while Sora stared at him.

"Smile." Riku said in a forceful tone but the brunette didn't move nor budge an inch.

"I said smile." the silverete repeated again.

"How can I smile when you force me into such things! You're pathetic!," Sora shouted angrily and he slapped Riku on the cheek very, very hard. "You think money is everything...that money can solve your problem then I don't want it."

Sora left the room where Riku was and wondered around the place trying to find his school uniform. He opened one door and looked around. His eyes fell on a picture of a tall girl with beautiful long blond hair and blue eyes. Sora stared in awe then shook his head hard as he left the room. He walked further and opened another room but unfortunately, it was a room with billiards. He walked further again and opened another door. This time, it was a magnificent dining hall.

"This dining hall is nothing compared to the royal palace." Sora smirked to himself and left the room. He found a stairs and started going down. He kept looking for his school uniform when suddenly the doors opened. Several bodyguards came in and in the center was a man with long silver hair wearing a business suit. His green eyes met with Sora who stare as well then left. Sora snapped out of his thoughts. He has to find his school uniform.

"Excuse me, um...excuse me...can you help me?" Sora asked as he tries to get the man's attention but the two bodyguards grabbed him and shoved him. Fortunately, they found his school uniform and let him wear it but still they shoved him outside.

"Hey! Let me go!" Sora said as he struggled and threw him out of the mansion. They even threw his school bag as well. He picked it up and stare at the mansion.

"Maybe I shouldn't mess with them." Sora sighed as he looked at the mansion one last time and left. At the window, Riku stared outside as the brunette left. He began to walk out to the door and was met with his father face-to-face. Neither of them moved an inch then one of the bodyguards informed him about the important meeting then left.

Sora was already late from school so he went to his locker to get his books for class when cockroaches came out from his locker. But if you look a little closer, there were only fakes. Sora fumed with anger as he proceed to go to his classroom. When he arrived, students were gossiping, obviously about him.

"You know, he should really quit school." one girl said.

"Yeah!!" another girl added.

"He should not underestimate Riku." said a girl with long black hair.

"Oh really? If I quit school, I would not have a care in the world so shut up you fucking pricks!" Sora growled at them though not anger and the student stopped talking. Classes have started and the brunette sighed in relief even though it was only a little.

- - -

Sora went to the cafeteria hall when he heard laughter. He came and saw the window was vandalized. It says: Fucking slut and Bitch!!. Obviously, it was meant for him. Three girls giggled and all the student laughed.

"Oh my, I know it's a lie but I can't help it." one girl said in a mocking tone and the brunette was furiously angry that he left the cafeteria without eating anything. Fuming angrily, Sora went to the fire escape and screamed at the top of his lungs.

"Unbelieavable!! That fucking bastard, how dare he!!" he shouted angrily. "He thinks he's the emperor of this school. Geez, my life is already ruined twelve years ago. I'm still single and this happens!!"

"Single, huh." said a voice. Sora turned around and saw Zexion reading a magazine. It has a picture of a man with mullet hair.

"Ummm, sorry." Sora said apologetically.

"Like I said before, I know you have some problems," Zexion said, staring at the brunette. "By the way, do you know the time difference between Twilight Town and Hollow Bastion.

"Eh?" Sora questioned at him.

Little did they know that on the other side of the building, three girls saw the two of them. Apparently, they think the two of them were together.

"I can't believe he's with Zexion Xainen!!" one girl said with envy and the other two agreed.

- - -

Sora was now at the accessory shop wiping the display case and dicussing the events for the day with Roxas. Despite the hard time he's been through, he was able to get back on his own feet. After cleaning, he took out his favorite snack: Chocolate donut with coconut shavings on top and a book about the time difference of the countries outside Twilight Town. Roxas wondered what he was doing but Sora didn't want to talk about it.

"Let's see...oh it's five hours!" Sora said as he ate.

"What are you doing?" Roxas asked.

"Nothing!" Sora replied as he finished his snack and closed the book.

- - -

"Freeze!" Sora chanted as the entire ground was covered in ice. A heartless came near the Haunted Mansion and the brunette just froze it. He slashed it with his keyblade and immediately it died. His cellphone suddenly rang and Sora took it out from his pocket.

"Hello?... What? Heartless in the bank's computer... Where? Infinity Bank at Market Street, alright!"

He pocketed his cellphone and left the place. Wearing the black coat, he ran to the destined place. Cloud was already there waiting for him.

"What's the status of the computer?" Sora asked. The spiky blonde guardian led him to the room with computer and apparently, robotic heartless known as Magnum Loaders, Erazer, and Terminator. Most probably, they were spreading the virus so Sora aimed his Keyblade at the monitor and let himself in. Being in cyberspace is pretty neat but when it comes to viruses it was pretty hard actually unless you're a computer geek. Sora walked around and wondered where the heartless could be. Staring into an empty space, it looked like that there's nothing wrong until something fell. At the last minute, Sora jumped out of the way and saw the specified target. Magnum Loaders are the large machine like ones, Erazers are the tiny one and Terminator looked like a small version of a mini motorcycle. They began to fight but it was difficult that even frontal attacks didn't work. The Magnum Loaders continued the attack by piercing Sora and got hit. He stood back at his feet and slid down below then slash it at the back. The Heartless showed no mercy but Sora destroyed them all and stabbed it finally eliminating the enemy.

Next morning, Sora was on his usual day, attending classes as usual. Time passed by real quickly when the bell rang. Everyone just ate their lunches and just like two years ago, Sora sat alone until Kairi showed up feeling regret.

"I'm sorry for avoiding you." Kairi said, bowing her head apologetically.

"It's alright," Sora said. "At least, you're not in trouble."

"Why don't we walk home together. It's the least I can do." Kairi smiled and the brunette nodded.

Evening has fallen as the two friends walked along the street talking and chatting about themselves. Kairi stopped for a moment and Sora noticed something was wrong.

"Kairi, what's up?" Sora asked.

"S4." she replied and the brunette turned his head around. True to what Kairi said, it's someone from S4: Zexion.

"Wait right here!" Sora said as he ran towards him. Zexion noticed his presense and sighed.

"You again?" Zexion said in a bored tone.

"Um, about the time difference between Twilight Town and Hollow Bastion. It's five hours. " Sora said.

"Five hours, huh." Zexion said when he stared at the brunette.

"Um, what is it?" Sora asked, feeling embrassed. Zexion kept staring at him and at the same time he went a little closer then he wiped a part of Sora's mouth.

"You have something white near your cheek." Zexion replied. Sora realized that it was from the snack he ate yesterday and didn't bother to check his face. He wiped it off his mouth then Zexion stared at the poster that was displayed on the wall.

"Hmmm, that person...I know him. His name is Demyx Nocturne. He's supposed to be the heir of the Nocturne Company but he turned it down and decided to be a singer." Sora said then sighed. "One of the reasons I came to Twilight High is because of him. He used to attend this school and changed his destiny. I wanted to become a famous artist specifically a writer because I have a very active imagination since I was a kid (not just a heir to the throne) and changed destiny as well."

"A writer, huh." Zexion said, smiling.

"... I gotta go. See you!" Sora said as he ran towards Kairi and the two of them rushed themselves to go home. Little did they know that there was a black car and lowering the car window, it was Riku.

- - -

Another day has arrived, Sora knew it would be another bad day. He took deep breaths and began walking through the corridor expecting nasty blows. To his surprise, one male student greeted him as if nothing happened. Okay, this is weird but regardless, he went to the locker's room to get his stuff. Slowly, he opened the door expecting scary would come out but nothing happened so he took what he need and closed it. Passing by was Kairi and the two of them stared at each other.

"You know it's okay that we can talk to each other outside the school and also through our cellphones. I don't think they would go that far to wired our phones but in school, you better avoid me or stay away from me, okay." Sora said and Kairi nodded. Both of them went to their separate ways when the redhead opened her locker. To her dismay, there was a black note from S4. A male student saw it and yelled her name. Sora was shocked.

The entire student body dragged her to the cafeteria hall and at the center were the S4 without Zexion on it. All of them threw blackboard erasers at her as Sora makes his way through the crowd. He tries telling them to stop but none of them listened or heard him. They poured water on her and one of the students was about to throw a bottle of soy sauce at Kairi when Sora took a broom and strike it back.

"Leave her alone! She has nothing to do with this!" he yelled angrily. All the students stopped except one male student who was about to throw another bottle of soy sauce. Sora strike it back again and the bottle was sent flying. Unfortunately, part of the soy sauce stained Riku's white shoes.

"Riku, are you--." His sentence was cut short when the silverete punched that student. He walked towards the two of them and stared coldly.

"You want to stop this, right? If so, lick it off and I'll call off the game!" Riku said. All the students began to chant 'Lick it off'. Sora stared at Kairi who was humiliated then he mustered up his courage and kneeled down. The chanting became louder as Sora gulped. He knew that this is the only way for them to stop messing up with her. As he was about to do the deed, the doors burst open and Zexion came. Everyone stared at him and immediately the chanting died.

"You're wrong." Zexion said.

"Eh?" Sora questioned himself.

"The time difference between Twilight Town and Hollow Bastion is four hours because October is Daylight Savings Time." Zexion said.

"Oh, sorry." Sora said apologetically.

"Let's go." Riku said and all four of them left the cafeteria hall.

- - -

At lunch time, Sora didn't see Kairi anymore. Guess she couldn't handle the humiliation she felt. He also feel bad for her but at least, Zexion came to stop this madness. While he was eating his lunch, three girls came to his table, looking pleased and haughty.

"Wow, you're incredible, Sora!" one girl at the middle said.

"Huh?" Sora wondered what is she talking about.

"You know, when you stood up on Riku. We couldn't stand his obnoxious attitude. Good thing Zexion was here to stop it." the girl on the right said.

"Come on, you miss the spot." the third girl said. Sora was a bit surprised that two janitors were cleaning the vandalism on the cafeteria windows.

"Well now that's that. We invited you to Demyx's Welcoming Party tonight." the girl in the middle said. "The venue is at Zexion's Mansion. See you there."

Little did they know, Sora used the power of the Keyblade to scan their hearts. To his interpretation, they were planning something to him which is not a surprise. Whatever it is didn't matter, he will face it and besides, there's no way he would turn the invite now would he? Obviously, not.

- - -

"WHAT!! You're invited to Zexion's place!!" Roxas screamed with excitement as they did their part time job. It was already sunset.

"Um... yeah." Sora said though he didn't sound too excited.

"What are you going to wear?" Roxas asked eagerly.

"... Don't know." Sora replied as he was preparing to close the store.

"Well, it's been a long time you've hang out with the rich guys. Just like when you're really--" Roxas' sentence was cut short when Sora shut his mouth.

"Rox, what did I tell you about you-know-what?!" the brunette scowled at him.

"Okay, okay but seriously, they should know the real 'you'. That you're actually nice." Roxas said as the two of them finished their time in the store.

- - -

Night has fallen and the brunette arrived at Zexion's mansion wearing black t-shirt, blue jeans and black shoes. He opened the door slowly and most unfortunately for him, all the rich people are wearing formal attire.

"Sora, there you are and why are you wearing that." one girl said and all the people whispered and stare at him.

Putting that aside, Sora went to the poolside sitting down and drinking water. Everyone is enjoying the party when the S4 came and there was another person beside them. He has short yellow mullet hair, light blue eyes and wearing a blue tuxedo. All of them went down to interact with the others. Sora knew that person: Demyx Nocturne. Seeing Zexion with him makes him feel glad for those two as if they were meant for each other. He was about to amuse himslef when the same three girls from school came.

"Do us a favor and stay away from Zexion Xainen. He already has a boyfriend." the girl on the right said as she picked the glass of water and poured it on Sora's clothing. Everyone saw it and laughed. Riku saw it as well but he did nothing.

"You sluts...I knew you would humiliate me." Sora said in his mind and tempted yet again to use his Fire magic to burn them to ashes. He was used to bullying before but not this kind though. Before he could do anything else, Zexion came with a handkerchief in hand. The three girls were surprised at this.

"Are you alright?" Zexion asked. Sora stared at him and in an instant he calmed down, took the handkercheif and tried to wipe himself. While he was doing that, Demyx came to see what's going on. Seeing this, he decided to have some fun and a bit of payback for Sora's sake.

"I like to thank you for throwing this welcoming party for me." Demyx said to the three girls.

"Why, you're welcome, Demyx!" the girl in the middle said, smiling when all of a sudden, the blonde took a water hose, turned it on and using the water's powerful force, it pushed the three girls to the swimming pool. All three of them were shocked. Everyone laughed at them instead of Sora and Demyx took him away from the crowd leaving Zexion to enjoy what he did.

- - -

Sora and Demyx were in the guest room trying to find suitable clothing for the brunette to change his wet clothing. While Demyx is taking out several shelves, Sora sat down and wait.

"Um, thanks." he said shyly.

"Oh no thanks is necessary, Sora." Demyx said, taking out some formal clothing.

"How do you know my name?" he asked.

"Zexy told me all about it." Demyx replied as he picked one for him. "Here try this!"

The clothing in question was a combination of white and blue formal attire. Sora wore it immediately and Demyx gushed at him.

"Ooooooohhhhh!! You're so cute in that clothing. It really matches your eyes. In fact, you can have it!" Demyx said excitedly.

"Um, are you sure?" Sora asked as Demyx picked a pair of white leather shoes studded with silver metal circles.

"Sure and while you're at it. Wear these! From now on, everytime you go to a party, wear these shoes okay." Demyx said. Sora thanked him even though he didn't need any of this.

Few minutes tick by and finally, Sora and Demyx went downstairs to greet everyone. Zexion smiled at the brunette and the others stared in awe.

"You look great!" he commented.

"Thanks!" Sora smiled. Riku couldn't believe it. He smiled at Zexion. Come to think of it, he remembers when he told Sora to 'smile' but the brunette got angry for forcing him such things. In other words, he was a bit jealous though he doesn't know why for himself.

"What do you think you're doing?" Riku asked coldly as he shoved Zexion. The silver-short haired teen didn't reply. "I'm the one who sent the black not to him."

Sora knew what would happen next so he tries to stop Riku from doing this nonsense when he and Riku tripped. Everyone gasped in shock.

"It's about time but I never thought it would be like this." Kuja chuckled and so did Kadaj. At the floor, Sora and Riku 'kissed' and both of them were apparently in shock.

spiritfire: So what do you think?? Kinda early for this but I think it's necessary

Yuen: Wahahaha, this is amusing

Yaru: Um...it is a bit sudden in my book

spiritfire: If you think I made a weird pairing here(Zexion x Sora), I didn't. Don't worry it won't last long...I only did that for a little push on Riku's part. After all, love works in mysterious ways or so to say.

Yuen: I'm sure the readers would guess that

spiritfire: Anyway, this will contend you guys because I'm taking a day off on October 14 until November 3 because of two reasons: It's my semestral break and I need to rest. Second, I'm halfway finishing drafting for the next chapter so you guys have to wait for next month.

Yaru: Yeah, she deserves it after she's been through

Yuen: Got that right!

spiritfire: Okay, so you guys know what to do...R&R
