Who are we now? Chapter 2

Kairi sighed as she unpacked her things. They arrived in Shinra Island much faster for comfort and now they were settling in. Shinra Island was nothing and Radiant Garden is two completely different areas. Well for one thing Shinra is very high tech, much like a city, nosy and polluted.

Radiant Garden, however, is quiet, peaceful and pollution free. Kairi sure missed the fresh air of flowers. Aside from the features, the house they were currently residing in was much bigger than in Radiant Garden. It was basically like a condo, but the redhead missed her old house. Aerith walked in her daughter's room and smiled while holding a box. "Ugh, I have more things?"

"Nope, it's you're uniform for school, which you start in a week."

Kairi stared at her mom with a blank face. "Seriously? I just got here!" Aerith smirked, which was a bit unlike her, "Let's just say you're father and I think fast. Now, come downstairs there are some people I want you to see." The redhead sighed and gave a nod. Just before her mom walked out the door, Kairi turned around and made a motion with her hand.

A phone landed right in her palm and she smirked. "Laziness at it's best." With that said, Kairi walked down stairs and into the dining room. She was greeted with the sight of two redheads, a tan skinned bald man and blonde guy with blue eyes. "Oh there's my favorite niece!" Kairi placed a hand on her forehead, "Oh no." she muttered.

Kairi felt strong arms lift her and up and twirl around. "Reno put me down!" she giggled. Said man Reno, did as told and playfully glared at her, "Hey that's Uncle Reno, get it right." Kairi rolled her eyes and smiled at the bald man, "You're name is Rude right?"

He gave a nod and the teenager smiled, "Good I am very forgetful."

The other redhead snorted, "Ain't that right, since you forgot to say hi to us." Kairi huffed and went to hug him. "Sorry Axel, and hello Rufus nice to see you two again." She broke apart and frowned, "I thought you were in Twilight Town." Axel rubbed the back of his head. "Eh change of plans."

"Looks like all were missing is Lea," Zack said with a chuckle.

"Oh yeah speaking of the little knucklehead, how is he?" Axel asked. Kairi looked down with a glint of sadness. "Oh, he's um, he's fine." Reno glared at his younger brother lightly shoved him, "Look what you did you made her cry!"

"What? She's perfectly fine!"

Kairi watched the two of them bicker with amusement as she laughed. Rufus rubbed his forehead and glanced at the two brothers, "Why I associate with them? I have no idea." Rude gave a nod and shook his head in a shameful gesture. Zack stood by his daughter and sighed, "Wow Kairi, you can make two grown men argue, I'm amazed."

The redhead chuckled, "Never knew I had it in me." she then walked over to the two brothers and tried to get in between them. "Hey you guys knock it off!" After many failed attempts Kairi noticed a water hose in the kitchen. Glancing around to see if anyone was looking, she played innocent and moved her hand. The hose began to lift and water sprayed all over the two.

"What the-," Axel was cut off by more water.

Kairi dropped to the floor and laughed. She knew how much Axel hated water and how Reno didn't like feeling wet. Both brothers glared at her and she again played innocent. "Aw come on, how could it have been me if I'm all the way over here?"

After the water incident, Reno, Rude, and Rufus left the house while Axel stayed awhile. The two redheads were currently in Kairi's room playing the new Call of Duty. "So, how's you're gang going?" she asked quietly in risk of her parents listening. Axel sighed as he stared at the screen. "I guess its going fine."

"Is that why you moved here?"

Axel was apart of a gang called Organization XII, it's not like they were bad or anything, actually Kairi didn't know what they did; Axel would never tell her saying its 'for her protection.' It used to be Organization XIII until a member died. The gang traveled from place to place, Twilight Town being its main headquarters. "Yeah, that's why."

"Hmm, okay, I would ask more but it's none of my business."

Axel looked down at his controller with a thoughtful expression. Kairi paused the game and looked at him, "Are you okay?" The redhead snapped out of his thoughts and gave a nod. "I'm fine don't worry about it." It was silent before Axel smirked, "You didn't hold the hose did you?" Kairi deviously smiled, the redhead knew her ability after he caught her doing it one time. "That's for me to know and you to find out Ax,"

Sora sighed as he watched the trees of Destiny Islands blur pass. He was sure gonna miss this place. Sora, Riku, and their parents were currently on a Ferry to Shinra Island, the only way to get there. The brunette bit his lip and placed a hand under his chin. "Yesterday all my troubles seem so far away," he sang. "Now it looks as though they're here to stay. Oh, I believe in yesterday,"

"Suddenly I'm not half the man I used to be-,"

He was cut off when Riku sat across from him at a table. Their parents were talking at their own table. "Sora, you're not even close to being a man and will you stop singing?" Sora put his head on the wood and groaned, "But Riiiikuuuu, I'm hooomeee sick!" The silver headed teen rolled his eyes and kicked his friend lightly in the shin, "We've only been on the Ferry for an hour, that's not too long and we'll be off in ten minutes, now get a hold of yourself."

Sora sat up and stared at his friend, "I know you're all stoic and what not but for a person to leave his home forever you seem pretty fine with this." Riku rolled his eyes and looked out the window. "Trust me, I'm not." The brunette looked at the waves overlapping each other and sighed; "I sure would want to play with the water right now," referring to his ability.

"I bet you would."

"Anything to get away from this ferry." Sora said. Rinoa arrived at their table and took their bags out of the compartment above. "Come on guys, it's time to get off." The two teens didn't realize the ferry stop. Grabbing their bags, both families exited the boat. Sora gaped at everything; Shinra was HUGE! Everything was hi-tech…basically like a city!

"Wow…" he whispered.

Riku grabbed his arm and pulled him away from the dock. "Come along," The walk to their house was pretty long. Riku's house was a condo and only a couple of blocks away from Sora's. "See ya tomorrow!" Riku called out entering his home. The brunette waved and then turned around to continue walking.

Sora and his parents stopped in front of a beige condo. Sort of like Riku's but shorter. "Well, here we are." Squall muttered opening the door. The spiky haired brunette walked in and took a glance around. To say the least, it was large. The living room with a balcony of the city. From there was the kitchen, and then down the hall were bedrooms, a lot of space.

The brunette immediately went to his room and threw his bags on his bed. It seems as though his parents had their furniture delivered. Sora began to unpack his clothes sighing occasionally, until he glanced out the window. It was dark and the lights illuminated the island-like-city. Across him was another condo and he can make out the shape of a girl with red hair. It was difficult to see facial features since there was a tree separating them. It seems like she was not alone when a male with red hair sat next to her. Brother maybe? Sora shrugged and continued to unpack.

Namine sighed and sat down on her bed. She had already arrived yesterday and in her opinion she didn't really enjoy Shinra. It felt really crowded and too noticeable to stretch out her wings. The blonde lay on her bed and sighed, her parents; Stella Nox Fleuret and Noctis Lucis Caelum went to explore more of the city, leaving her to the house.

The blonde opened her window and looked out. The lights were bright and the horns were honking loudly, something she was not used to compared to Twilight Town. A faint whistling tune echoed throughout the air and Namine's eyebrows furrowed. She slowly stepped out onto the ledge and felt the cool air sting her skin.

With a quick glance around, white angel wings unfolded from her back. Taking a deep breath, Namine jumped from the ledge and shot up straight into the air in the direction of where she heard the whistle. Her wings flapped every once in a while as her hair blew behind her head. If someone were to look from a distance, they would see a girl in white, almost resembling an angel.

Namine came to a halt at a balcony and grinned when she noticed Xion opening her window. The blonde flew right inside and landed on the gray carpet. "Hey Namine! I'm glad you came!"

"Hello Xion, what's up?"

"Well, Roxas and I were a bit bored, so…" It was then that Namine noticed that Roxas was staring at her. Blushing, the blonde gently folded her wings and looked down. "Hmm? Oh, sorry! You don't have to hide them Namine, their just…really pretty. I never saw a person with wings." Roxas rambled, blushing and scratching the back of his head. Xion giggled, "How ya liking Shinra Nami?"

Taken aback by the sudden nickname, the blonde smiled. "Oh, um, it's a bit too crowded and loud." The black haired girl nodded. "I agree, well it's easy for me to blend in, literally." She said referring to her ability. Roxas rolled his eyes, "Don't bluff. It's harder for Namine and I. With her wings and all, I can barely control my illusions."

"Well you're getting better!" Xion argued.

Namine bit her lip, "Well, aside from the crowdedness, don't you think it's a bit creepy?" Roxas raised an eyebrow. "Define creepy?"

"Uh, like a dark aura around or something. Maybe it's just me."

Xion shrugged, "It's probably homesickness. I mean we arrived yesterday and school starts in about three or four days-," The blonde haired girl frowned. "School? I was never aware of this!" Roxas sighed, "Apparently it was last minute, like coming here was. Most likely we'll be attending the same school."

"It'll be hard hiding these." Namine muttered adjusting her wings a bit to feel more comfortable.

"Well, as long as were careful, what do we have to worry about?" Xion asked with a smile. "I just wouldn't want to be called a freak or a mutant." Roxas glanced at Namine and smirked, "Doubtful aren't we?" The blonde haired girl playfully glared, which broke out into a grin. "Whatever."
