Talk about quick updates ;D


A household can make or break a child. Even if you are trying to help, be careful what you say because one wrong word can forever crush their dreams, spirits and trust in others.


Warning: Cloud it's not like I could adopt either of them.. I'm doing my best with what I can so don't kill me.


"Axel! You idiot!" Roxas growled, walking as fast as his short legs would carry him.

"I'm sorry, Roxas. I didn't mean to!" Axel panted, having issues keeping up with him, much to everyone's surprise.

"Didn't mean to my ass! I told you I couldn't get another detention. I told you not to touch the damn bunsen burner, but nooooo, you just had to light our desks on fire. Can't you last one week without burning something to ashes?" He shouted, picking up speed.

"Look I'm sorry, I'll make it up to you I swear. I'll tell Maleficent it was my fault." Axel replied, his tone raising as he got flustered. It wasn't often that the two seriously fought and when one got mad it tended to get ugly. Luckily, that wasn't often.. except for now.

"Ya, right. You and I both know that boys aren't allowed anywhere near that damn school. I'd probably get in more trouble for you coming on to the property." Roxas sighed. "I'm not mad at you.. I'm just sick of this place."

"Sorry dude.. I'd totally take you in if it weren't for.. you know.. Maleficent.." Axel muttere in apology.

"I know.. anyway, you turn around here before you get murdered by Catholic school girls." Roxas chuckled slightly before taking off in a light sprint.


"Riku, I swear to all things holy and cute I'm going to kill you with cake and icing." Sora growled half-heartedly. He knew it wasn't Riku's fault but that didn't change the fact that he was going to get in trouble.

"Mmm.. death by icing." Riku chuckled slightly rolling his eyes.

"Not funny bastard." Sora's eyes narrowed and Riku stopped laughing. Sora never swore. Ever.

"Look, I'm sorry. It was an accident I swear." Riku frowned.

"Ya, I know.. damn Seifer set you up but you still got me a detention and I'm still gonna be late.. Cid is going to kill me." Sora sighed.

"Just tell him Seifer did it." Riku suggested.

"That's been used so many times now it's as useful as saying 'my dog ate my homework' to a teacher." Sora muttered.

"But that's because he's always causing you problems." Riku pointed out, huffing slightly.

"Ya, well. Cid's only suggestion is hitting him over the head with a wrench. You can tell he doesn't believe me any more. I hate it here.." Sora pouted. "Take me home with you?"

"You know I would if I could, Sora. But I think that my brothers would tear you to little chibi sized pieces and I can't sew well enough to fix you." Riku laughed.

"Meany.. anyway.. you should turn around now.. If I show up anywhere near the house with out a female I'd better be alone. Apparently I've been setting Cid's "gaydar" off.. great." Sora laughed half-heartedly before taking off in a sprint in an attempt to make up for lost time.


"ROXAS!" A voice similar to nails on a chalkboard shouted as Roxas was shutting the door. Freezing in his tracks he slowly turned to face the glower of his guardian, Maleficent.

She had originally been the head of the orphanage he was staying at but after a while she ended up shutting it down, sending all of the males off to a new orphanage run by Snow white. Oh how Roxas wished he coul have been sent with them, but no, Maleficent hated him so he ended up getting adopted by the wretched woman just in time to see her turn the orphanage into a girls catholic school. In other words, he spent the majority of his child hood in skirts surrounded by girls who appeared to hate him. Not exactly the way he had wanted to grow up.

He was pretty much alone here with the exception of Xion and Larxene. Larxene was his roomate, as Maleficent figured only he would survive being around such a personality 24/7. That's how she ended up joining the Organization. Xion on the other hand was pretty much the only person to really talk to around here and she helped him keep on top of his studies so Maleficent wouldn't 'accidently' drown him in his sleep.

"Yes..?" Roxas asked, wincing slightly as Larxene gave an apologetic frown from behind her. At least the blond had tried to cover for him this time.

"It's your majesty.. or your highness." Maleficent snapped. "Where have you been?"

"Your highness, but why?"

"Don't you play coy with me you insufferable child. Do you know how much I've done for you! Given you food and a roof over your head and how do you repay me? You run off with your friends and get detentions!"

"I'm sorry.. your majesty.. it won't happen again." Roxas forced out, trying not to lash out at the woman. Two more years and he'd be free.

"You better be, brat. Go up to your room and finish your room before I sick my girls on you." She threatened and Roxas shuddered. The only other time before he had been stuck with the girls from Hollow Bastion almost ended in his sex change.

"I'll watch over him, ma'am." Larxene peeked out with a small, fake, innocent smile.

"Alright.. if you can handle him. Thank you Larxene." Maleficent smiled slightly before stalking off.

"Teacher's pet much?" Roxas muttered.

"Shut it shrimpy, I just got you out of another shit hole. Let me guess, Axel set something on fire?" Larxene scoffed dragging the poor blond into their room. It was almost odd to walk in because it looked like a room for one person with two beds. The poster's of different punk and hard-core bands crossed over the almost invisible line that separated the room into. Had it not been for the mirroring furniture you wouldn't see the difference at all. But despite Larxene's constant nagging, she cared a lot for her friends, including Roxas.

"Well thanks.. I just can't wait to get out of this hell hole."

"Want me to kidnap you next year when I get out?"

"As much as I'd like to accept your offer, something tells me that it would never work."

"Aw well, don't say I never offered."

"I'll keep that in mind." Roxas chuckled slightly, pulling out his homework, ignoring Larxene's snort as she left the room to do god knows what.


"Sora, pass me the monkey-wrench." A man called out from underneath a big old monster truck when he heard the front bell ring. You see, the house Sora and Cid called home wasn't exactly normal. The entire bottom half was a garage and workshop where anyone in town with mechanical issues would go. Upstairs was a rather small apartment where they slept, showered and occasionally ate.

"Here." Sora mumbled tossing it to him and watching as Cid caught it with an odd reflex Sora never really understood. Cars weren't really his things but he managed to keep Cid happy by conversing about them and trains now and again.

"So, why were you late?" Cid asked, tinkering with something for a moment before wheeling himself out from underneath the vehicle.

"I got detention."

"As long is it wasn't with that Riku kid, we're fine."

"Uh.. no, I uh.. forgot to hand in my homework because I was trying to figure out a way to make an air powered engine." Sora ad-libbed after a short pause.

"Good, in which case would you mind going to the hardware store?" Cid asked, trying to wipe the grease from his hands onto his jumpsuit.

"Sure, do you have a list for me?" Sora asked, eager to leave. As nice as Cid was to him it never really felt like home. If anything Cid felt like an oddly placed Uncle.

"Yup, it's on the welding mask."

"Alright." Sora grinned, waved and quickly made his way back out the door only to run back into Riku.

"Hey?"

"Riku! If he sees me anywhere near you I'm screwed. I just told him I got in detention for not doing my homework!" Sora said shifting his eyes back into the garage in distress.

"Sora, I'm here to pick up my car, but if you're that upset about what he thinks you're more than welcome to come stay with me for a bit, my mom loves you."

"Ya huh, and then he'll be going on about how we're having sex. How does that even work anyway. I don't have a vagina damn it!" Sora groaned burrying his head into his hands.

"Sora.. for one.. you don't need a vagina to have sex. Secondly, just tell him I'm straight." Riku bit back a chuckle.

"Fine.. but then can you drive me to the hardware store? I have a gigantic list of things to pick up."

"Sure sure, but I'm not explaining anything if that's what your thinking. Google it if your curious but I'm not going there."

"Meany."
