I hope you all liked the last chapter! I finally got the inspiration I needed to work on this story!

~Fated~
~Sora~
Sora blinked open his eyes as he heard the first chirps from the birds about a new day. He sat up on his fluffy bed with blue silk sheets and cotton blankets. He got out of the nice bed and walked over to his dresser, still a bit sleepy. He walked over to his oak armoire and pulled some basic clothing out of it. He took them with him into the bath and placed them on the table as he got into the bath.
He felt weird taking a bath when the other servants didn't have to take one every day, but his master wanted him to. He never disobeyed Lord Xehanort or his sons and for that he seemed to be treated kinder then the other servants. He had his own bedroom, with a comfortable bed and his own private bath.
Sure his room wasn't one of the nicest; it only had a bed and his dresser and was still on a lower floor but compare to how he grew up. It was nicer than his old room. Lord Xehanort had him moved when he began to reach the age of 12 and he began to take lessons for his job as their servant.
Sora quickly finished bathing so he wouldn't be late for his daily morning meeting with Lord Xehanort. He dried himself off thoroughly and dressed in the cotton white shirt that flowed down his body and the black dress pants he had. He left the bathroom and slipped on his slipper-like shoes and before exiting his room he noticed his breakfast sat on the table.
He rarely ate with anyone else, only having dinner with his lord when he requested it and if he didn't he ate with his family. The breakfast was simple mixed fruit and bread, he never had anything potentially fattening. After he finished eating he stood and exited his room.
He made his way quickly, but calmly, to the dining room and opened the door quietly. He walked in and closed the door behind him and walked slowly to the table. Lord Xehanort sat at the head of the table, which was empty except for him. That meant his two sons had already departed from the manor. Sora took his place next to his lord's chair as he waited to be acknowledged.
Xehanort ate his elegant breakfast quietly and did not look up despite knowing Sora stood behind him. After he finished Selphie, the cooks daughter, came up and cleared away the plates. Sora stood quietly, awaiting his lord's instructions. His lord rose and turned to Sora, eyes looking over his body inquisitively. Xehanort nodded approvingly and wrapped his arm around Sora's shoulder to lead him out of the room.
They moved to Xehanort's office where the lord took his seat and Sora stood close by. Sora watched his lord patiently awaiting his instructions for the day. Xehanort turned to him and once again just looked over his body with a smirk. Sora felt slightly uncomfortable but did not look away from his lord.
"Well Sora, since you have no lessons today I truly have nothing for you, Unfortunatly..."
"My lord?"
"…As much as I wouldn't mind our normal time spent in my office, I am going to be leaving shortly for a meeting."
"Of course, my lord."
"Xemnas and Ansem are out as well, so that means you'll be all alone. Would you be able to handle that?" Xehanort asked with a hint of lust in his voice.
"I shall try sir."
"I so hate to leave you by yourself…"
"Your work is more important than me, my lord."
"Nothing could be more important then you," Xehanort's eyes moved over his body again.
"As you wish my lord."
Xehanort and Sora remained quiet for a while with Xehanort just watching Sora. Sora was getting pretty used to all the staring that had been going on since he turned 12, he was now 14. He had only a few months till he turned 15, the legal age in their country.
"My lord?" Sora spoke up, pulling Xehanort out of his staring.
"What is it?"
"May I go to the market today? I was hoping to maybe buy something."
Xehanort contemplated his request, "I suppose. I see no problem with that. What do you want to get?"
"Maybe some new accessories or clothing patterns for my dances."
Xehanort smirked, "Of course then, we can't deny you anything that will add to your beauty."
"Thank you, my lord," Sora bowed his head.
"In fact I will drop you off in the market on my way to my meeting."
"You don't have to trouble yourself with that."
"I want to make sure you get there safely, that and I'd hate it if someone got any ideas. Now go get your cloak."
Sora nodded as he got that Xehanort meant if he dropped him off then people would know Sora belonged to him. Sora left the office to go to his room and grabbed his brown cloak and he tied it at his neck. He then made his way quickly to the entrance of the mansion where Xehanort waited.
They both left the house and climbed into the carriage which started to make its way to the market. Sora sat next to Xehanort, his lord's arm wrapped around his shoulder holding him close. Sora looked out the window bored as the ride continued.
~Xion~
Xion moved down the stairs of her family's little house in the hidden gypsy city. She grabbed a piece of toast and a fried egg and ate it quickly. She looked up as her father entered with her older brothers.
"Xion do your really have to go to the city again?" Zack asked.
"It brings money to the table, so yeah."
"Don't worry, we'll be with her," Ventus reassured their father.
"I know…just be careful."
"We will," Roxas promised.
Zack nodded reluctantly and Xion and her brothers left the house. They made their way quickly through the small city and into one of the underground tunnels that led into the city. Each wore normal gypsy attire and a cloak around their necks.
As they traveled through the tunnel it began to grow darker, though they no longer needed lights to traverse through the tunnels. They stopped as they noticed a light ahead of them and began to approach carefully. Xion smiled as she noticed her best friend, Riku, waiting for them.
Her friend had silver hair that came past his shoulders and he had sea-green eyes. He smiled as he saw them approach and began to dim the light of his candle. Together they began to silently make their way through the rubble. Once they reached the entrance that came out in a graveyard.
They began to make their way through the graveyard towards the city, their hoods now pulled up around their face. Xion was in the middle of all the boys, with Riku and Vanitas taking the lead.
"Where are Kairi and Namine? They normally would have joined us by now?" She asked of the gypsy chief's daughters.
"They left earlier this morning to get a good spot at the market," Riku stated.
"I see. Are we going to meet up with them in the market then?"
"Yeah," Riku said.
They continued to make their way through the now paved streets of the city, ignoring the citizens of the city. They could see the brightly colored tents and streamers of the market ahead of them. They moved through the streets swiftly and carefully, trying not to bring too much attention to themselves especially from the guards.
~End ch. 3~
I hope you all liked the chapter. Sorry I haven't updated in a while. I got busy with my school and observations as well as work. But finals are over and my work is settling down a bit. I plan to try and update on my days off from work.
Poll! (Yes already!)
Should Young Xehanort (Xehanort before birth by sleep also antagonist in dream drop distance) make an appearance as one of Xehanort's sons?
Reviewer's corner:
. .3000: Xehanort's a great villain that's for sure.
Kiku Honda of Japan: He is not gonna be a guard…he'll act as Sora's though I believe.
Animesaki: No it wasn't enough.
