Twilight of the Two Moons
Chapter 4: Learning the ropes
Roxas and Sora went to all their morning classes and found out that the school was just like any other, but the teachers there were all former heroes or hero descendants. Roxas enjoyed himself in Hero History when Hayner began to mimic the instructor Mr. Highwind, but also known as Cid. The instructors weren't too particular about students calling them by their first names, although some insisted on this. While Hayner was mimicking the older man, Cid himself was trying not to pick a book and chuck it at the kid, but failed to restrain himself from doing so during the last 10 minutes of class.
Sora, who was taking Geometry class, had found out Aerith was also a teacher at the school as well. The class went by rather painlessly even though Sora absolutely sucked at math.
After third period, it was time for lunch. Roxas followed Hayner to the cafeteria when an arm reached out and took his shoulder. Roxas quickly turned around and saw the redhead from the other day. Surprised that the guy would even go near him after running off from Cloud, Roxas said, "Uh…hi, Axel right?"
A smile spread on the redhead's face, reminding Roxas of his brother's smile. Before Roxas could think further, he was pulled into a hug by Axel and the older boy faked sniffling. "Roxie, I knew you wouldn't forget me. It was horrible that I can't come see you because of that other blonde guy, but I'm glad you remembered me," Axel said who was being honest but still making a joke out of this.
Roxas soon snapped out of his daze as he heard Axel call him Roxie. The younger blonde frowned and tried to push the older boy off. When that didn't work Roxas drew his arm back as far as he could and slammed his fist into the redhead's stomach. The punch didn't pack enough power to really hurt Axel, but it did have enough to make the redhead let go of him. Axel backed up a little and looked at Roxas.
"Ow! You know, that hurt. Why don't you kiss it to make it feel better Roxie," Axel says rubbing the area where the punch landed. Roxas rolled his eyes and retorted, "Look Axel, I'm not sure what mental problem you have, but my brother made it clear yesterday don't come around or back, or you'll be hacked in half by his sword, or do you have some kind of death wish?"
Axel grinned again at Roxas, but this time bent over close the petite blonde and whispered in his ear. "You're right about your brother hacking me in two, but I'd risk it if I could get to know you better." As the elder pulled back he breathed on Roxas' ear. Axel's actions and words sent a shiver and warm feeling throughout Roxas' body but he quickly turned and headed inside the cafeteria.
Axel smiled at his handy work, but as soon as he turned around, he paled a pit. No more than twenty feet away stood Cloud Strife talking with Vincent Valentine. The redhead surveyed the area and noticed the only place he could really hide was in the cafeteria, so he followed behind Roxas and got in line praying that the older blonde hadn't seen him.
Fortune seemed to smile on Axel, since Cloud had just walked out of the Shiva building. Cloud was headed to lunch after a long morning of teaching the students how to handle their swords. The position that Cloud had taken up was the assistant Swordsmanship class. Students who were able to summon weaponry that was anything like a sword had to have this class to graduate. Cloud wouldn't have a class after lunch so he decided to grab lunch from the cafeteria but was stopped when Vincent saw him.
Vincent was normally the most mysterious of the teachers at the school. The man wore a crimson headband and a matching tattered cloak. Emerging over the headband was unruly bangs of midnight black hair. The mysterious man only spoke when he had something important to say to his fellow employees, or he was in his classroom teaching. He was the instructor of those who had long range weaponry, such as bows, guns, and throwing knives. However, in actuality, he was the head of that class. He worked along his fellow teachers Xigbar, also known by the Freeshooter, andLarxene, once known to be the Savage Nymph. The two other teachers were once part of a group of heroes known as the Organization. It was headed by Xemnas at one point but after many of the comrades turned to the darkness, the group disbanded. Larxene was a tall blonde with her hair normally slicked with two bangs sticking up in the front like a pair of antennas. Xigbar was the oldest member of the Organization, and due to many battles he faced before hand, he a large scar adorning the left side of his jaw that reached up the his eye and an eye patch covering his right eye. Gray streaks of hair form two straight lines in the man's perfectly black hair.
Vincent was speaking with Cloud about an event that would be happening later in the day. While Cloud wasn't pleased about the event, he still had no choice but to allow it to happen.
Cloud started walking back to the cafeteria. He took several deep breathes to calm himself down. Many of the students took a look at Cloud and immediately wanted to find out who the delicious looking blonde was. As he made his way through the crowd of hormonal teenagers, Cloud spotted a patch of deep brown hair he would recognize anywhere. The elder Strife raised him arm into the air and closed his eyes. A moment later, a large sword materialized into his raised arm. He took the handle and brought it down. "Move." With that one icy cold word, every student that surrounded him ran off. Many students heard rumors about sword users who wielded great swords were not known for being patient.
Once free of the gaggle of fan boys, Cloud made his way over to the table where he recognized the brunette spiky head. Upon walking up to the table, the laughter and talking seemed to stop. Sora and Roxas looked at each other, confuse, as Hayner, Tidus, their new friends Pence, Demyx, and Zexion all stared behind them like 'deer caught in the headlight' look. The twins turned around and nearly jumped out of their seats seeing their older brother. "Cloud! What are you doing here?" Sora said jumping from his seat.
Cloud gave a soft chuckle and shook his head. "So you're not happy to see me Sora? Hey Roxas," Cloud said putting his hand on Roxas' shoulder.
Roxas gave a sheepish smile to his friends and spoke softly, "Uh….guys this is my oldest brother Cloud. And before you start, yeah Sora and I are Strifes, but please don't make anything out of it."
Demyx, a dirty-blond kid with his odd mullet-styled hair, was the first to recover and said excitedly, "You guys are Cloud's younger brothers! That is so cool! I wish I had another older."
Zexion, the quiet steel-blue haired kid, looked at Demyx and shook his head with a smirk placed on his face. "Luckily your parents were kind enough to only have one child. We'd be doomed if there was an older version of you."
This seemed to draw everyone's attention back to normal as they all started laughing. Demyx pouted at Zexion's comment, and folded his arms across his chest. Pence stopped laughing for a moment and placed his hand on Demy's, Demyx nickname, shoulder.
"Demy, you know Zexy was joking. No need to get bent out of shape about it," said the chubby brunette. As Cloud watched, he smiled seeing that Sora and Roxas had made a good group of friends.
The older Strife cleared his throat and wished everyone a goodbye and went to get his lunch.
Once Cloud was clear Tidus looked at Sora and asked, "Whoa, dude, why didn't you tell us you had a famous brother? Do you know how much respect we could get with that kinda lineage backing us up?"
Sora looked at Tidus with a sad smile and honestly replied, "To be honest, me and Roxas would prefer if you guys don't tell anyone. We want to make friends and work hard for what we have. When we lived on the Destiny Islands a lot of people wanted to hang around us because of our family name. Yeh, it sounds great but it kinda makes for a hollow existence."
Tidus looked at his new friend and smiled, "Okay I got you; we won't tell anyone and just to let you know we like you guys for who you are, not just your name."
Sora lifted his head and little and smiled, while Roxas searched the rag tag team of boys' eye looking for an untruthful glance.
Hayner folded his arms across his chest and closed his eyes. He smirked towards the twins and said, "Speak for yourself, I like Sora for that hot ass he's got." For a moment everyone was silent until they broke out into laughter. Even though Hayner was serious, he knew everyone would think he was joking.
When lunch ended, everyone went to their separate classes. Hayner and Demyx headed for English while Roxas and Zexion headed for their study hall period. Tidus had Alchemy this period, and lastly Sora had music.
As the brunette approached the door to the music room, he wondered why a school of heroes would need a music class. He reached for the door knob, and turned it to reveal a beautiful pale woman. Her skin was smooth and looked silky soft. She had deep blue eyes and maroon-red hair. Sora swallowed thickly and walked into the room, with his head held down. The teacher looked at the blushing blonde and smiled at his cute fiddling. "Hello there, I'm not sure I've met you before," the teacher said as she walked up to Sora.
By now Sora was sitting in a seat in the middle of the class. He looked up and noticed that the pretty teacher was wearing a pink dress that stopped just about a quarter of the way down her thigh. Sora blushed again for looking at his teacher like that. "Um, I'm new to the school, Ms. Ukita," Sora stuttered looking back down again.
Shaking her head, Ms. Ukita looked at Sora and replied, "Kairi."
Sora looked up confused as he said, "What?"
With a sigh Ms. Ukita replied, "Kairi, that's my name. I don't like being called by my last name. Most of the teachers here are like that."
Sora nodded his head as he saw students start filing into the classroom. Once everyone situated themselves, Kairi started off the class by telling everyone about the new student. She asked him to come up front and introduce himself, as well as sing a song he liked. Sora's blush had now returned five times worse than it had before being asked to sing in front of the class. Sora didn't really believe he had a good singing voice even though Roxas and Cloud would tell him that he did. They were his brothers; if he had a decent voice they would say that.
Taking several deep breathes, the young blonde walked to the front of the classroom and turned to face the music, so to speak. After a short introduction, Sora looked out and saw a few of the boys watching him like a hawk eyeing his next meal. Sora became even more nervous under their stares and held his head down.
Kairi noticed this and called to Sora, "Hey Sora, why don't you close your eyes. Just imagine you're at home singing in the shower." She smiled at the young brunette believing he could do it.
Sora looked at the teacher and took her advice. As he closed his eyes he started to forget he was in a classroom and imagined being at home in his room. After smiling he began to sign the first song that came to mind. "1000 Words" by Sweetbox had become one of Sora's favorite songs, so he knew the lyrics and the song was easy for him. As he began to sing, he started off soft and light, but as he continued his voice built for the very strong and powerful emotion that the song was based on. Before anyone knew, the young brunette was singing and bringing down the house. Everyone in the room, even Kairi, were blown away by not only how good the boy sang, but the power he put behind the song. After a few minutes Sora ended his song, and was brought back to reality by the sound of applause and wolf whistles. Sora opened his eyes and sheepishly put his hand behind his head and smiled as everyone clapped for him. Once Sora took his seat, Kairi smiled and said that it was going to be a pleasure to have Sora in her class this year.
Now that Sora brought himself out as a wonderful singer, Kairi went on to explain to the class that it was a rare gift for heroes to actually have a siren's voice. When the class gave her a confused glance, she smiled and went on with her explanation.
"As most of you know, heroes have a unique ability, normally manifested in being able to summon a weapon. However, for some heroes, it's different; they have another ability, such as the Siren's voice. If you remember in Greek mythology, the sirens were creatures that lured sailors to their doom by the beauty of their singing. For a hero it's a little different. Their singing can hypnotize other heroes, and other creature to do as they please. Heroes with the ability normally don't use their powers because they have learned to fear of becoming corrupted by this power. That is the purpose of this class, to teach you all how to resist this power and the songs as well, and you will learn, for you see, I'm a songstress, that's the true classification for heroes with the siren's voice."
Many of the students paled at the description of the songstress, while others seemed to be ready for the challenge.
After a grueling first day in Music, Sora headed for the locker room to get ready for his last class of the day. Sora was thankful for this, but deep down he felt as if something was coming. After changing, Sora stepped into the gym where he noticed the two teachers for the class. The first teacher he saw was a short blonde. 'Okay what is it with blondes at this school? I've seen about 63 blondes already today, and the weird part is that all of them have natural blonde hair,' Sora thought as he looked at the male teacher. Another outstanding fact about this blonde was that he had a large black tattoo running along the left side of his face. His hair was mostly laid back, while some stood up in the front.
The other teacher was a short Asian woman. Sora walked up and sat down in the bleacher with a few of the other students who were seated already. The Asian woman, who turned to face the class, had short black hair that formed around her face perfectly. She smiled at the class and pumped her arm in the air as she said, "Good afternoon everyone! I know everyone's not here yet but I'm going to tell you all that we're having a few of the upper classmen in here today." The perky raven smiled as she looked back at her counterpart.
The blonde looked up and smiled as he followed her up, "Yeh, today you guys get a special treat. We're having a demo of the Heart fighting style, and for those who don't know, the Heart fighting style was developed by Prof Ansem himself. Trust me, this isn't an easy martial art to master, but if you get into it, taking down an enemy will be a piece of cake. Oh and my name is Zell Dincht and this young perky raven is Yuffie Kisaragi. Both of us have mastered at least 8 different fighting styles and we are capable of dealing a lot of damage." Zell sounded proud as he announced his and Yuffie's martial art history.
After a moment or so, more and more students started filing into the gym in their gym uniforms. Sora and Roxas were also included in those numbers. In their backpacks, Cloud must have packed them up for them. Yes it's true, Cloud was a great big brother, but the twins hated when he did things like this. It made it seem like Cloud didn't trust them enough to look out for themselves.
Once the bell sounded, marking the beginning of class, Yuffie started telling the students again about the demo and reintroduced Zell and herself. "Now with no further ado, I present to you the Flurry of Dancing Flames, Axel Ukita, and the Wings of Silver Bird, Riku Minamori!" Many of the students began to whisper about the two students who were supposed to be giving them the demo.
When Roxas and Sora looked at Pence, the chubby brunette explained why everyone was in such an up roar. "Well Axel and Riku are two of most powerful kids in the school. Axel's got power over fire itself, along with his weapons, a pair of Chakrams. Riku has power over darkness, not the evil kind, just over shadows and stuff, but what makes him so dangerous is his sword; it's call Way to the Dawn. They got the nicknames from their abilities. These two are supposed to have mastered the Heart style of fighting their sophomore year." As Pence finished, the doors to the locker room opened up. Everyone's head looked towards the door to reveal a familiar head of flaming red hair.
Roxas and Sora were shocked to see that the Axel they met in the office the other day was the same Axel that was supposed to have mastered the Hearts fighting style. Behind him was a head of unfamiliar silver hair. The new guy was about as tall as Axel, and his hair reached down his back. Sora watched the two students move with cat-like grace to the center of the gym. The two juniors looked at the group of freshman. "Alright kiddies what you're about to see is a powerful martial style and if you study hard enough you might make a decent match for Riku or me one day," the proud redhead said turning back to Riku.
The silver-haired boy turned to face his opponent and went into the defensive stance of the Heart style. Axel smirked as he took the offensive stance. The two waited for about ten seconds before Axel started out. He went for Riku's left leg, but was stopped when Riku's right fist came at Axel's face. The redhead jumped back and took his stance once more. Riku smirked as his friend went for him. Everyone watched in absolute amazement; Riku and Axel were going at it like their lives depended on it.
Sora and Roxas were more interested in the movements of their body than the fight itself. Sora thought it was like watching a dance, and he felt his heart race as he watched Riku move in for an upper cut. Axel was able to dodge the attack and came back with a round-house kick.
Roxas was more interested in Axel's cat-like grace. Even though it seemed the two guys were pretty much evenly matched, Roxas knew Riku was more of a powerhouse with a terrifying defense, while Axel of the swift attacker. His hit may not cause as much damage at first, but after getting several hits, the damage would add up in a short amount of time.
The two combatants were 15 minutes into their match when Axel throws a sloppy punch. Riku took advantage of Axel's sloppy attack. He gets under the redhead's guard, and placed a foot behind Axel's lead leg. With a simple push, Axel landed on his backside with Riku smirking above him. While Axel was down, Yuffie blows her whistle and tells the two juniors that they're done.
Axel gets back on his feet and says in a hushed tone, "Bastard if I hadn't lost my focus I would've had you." Riku shakes his head and asks, "So what had you distracted?"
Axel, who is facing away from the group of freshman says, "Take a look in the group of new guys, the blonde sitting to the brunette with spikes. They're twins, and I got my eyes set on the blonde. For the last few minutes I could tell the kid was really watching me and I wanted to glance at him."
Riku looked over to where Axel had described and noticed the blonde. 'Hm he is pretty cute,' Riku thought, until he looked at the brunette. Riku's heart nearly jumped out of his chest. The brunette sitting next to the blonde was drop-dead gorgeous. Deep brown hair that spiked in every direction, dazzling ocean blue eyes, the remains of baby fat hung on the boy's cheeks, only adding to the boy's beauty. Riku could feel himself being drawn to the boy, but he stopped himself and looked at Axel.
Axel smirked as he knew he had probably fallen for the brunette. "However there's one problem. They're related to Cloud Strife in some way. The guy nearly took my head off when I flirted with them a lil'." Riku nearly palmed himself knowing that Cloud was very protective to those who held a special place in his heart, and Axel had only made things harder to get the cute brunette by pissing the elder blonde off early. Riku looked back at the crowd and got a very devious idea.
"Hey Yuffie is it okay if we have a lil' exhibition match with two of the students that may know a little," the sliver-haired devil asked. Yuffie thought about it for a moment before saying it was fine. Riku looked back at the crowd of freshmen, mostly Sora and said, "Is there anyone of you newbies got the guts to take me and Axel on?" Almost everyone on the bleachers were ready to run when Riku asked, but Sora was never one to play dead.
"Yeh me and my brother will," Sora shouted standing up. "I will," Roxas said looking at his brother like as if he had just grown a second head. "Yeh Rox, I'm not gonna let him scare me just to show he's better. We can do it Rox, me and you," Sora said trying to reach the warrior's pride within Roxas. It seemed to work as Roxas got up and walked to the bottom of the bleachers.
"Fine Sora, but you're taking on the silver-haired kid. The redheaded idiot is mine."
Sora smiled as he ran after his brother. Tidus watched his two friends walk to take on two of the best hand-to-hand fighters in the school. 'Wow those two are either very brave, or really stupid,' Tidus thought as he watched Sora and Roxas warm up.
Hayner silent licked his lips as he watched Sora stretch his delicious-looking thighs, but he knew his mind shouldn't be in the gutter at the moment.
Once the two younger fighters were properly stretched, Sora looked at his brother and asked, "Do we take them separate or together?"
Roxas glanced at Sora then back at the smirking redhead. "Separate, I wanna take Axel on by myself." Sora nodded at his brother before taking a deep breath. Looking at Riku, Sora smiled and waited.
Roxas however went straight in for the kill. As the blonde came swiftly towards him, Axel dodged to oncoming punch with a side step. Roxas frown and started again. It took Roxas nearly five strikes before he landed a solid hit, but it had its desired effect. The blow forced Axel back suddenly, but what shocked the redhead was the power behind Roxas' punch. At first, the punch seemed to be like a light tap, but soon afterward it felt as if someone hit him with a ton of bricks. He looked at the blonde and saw him smirk. 'Okay, no way am I letting Roxie get away with that,' the determined redhead thought as he got his head in the game.
Moving in, Axel sent several swift kicks and punches at Roxas, but a few of them were blocked by the blonde, and to Axel's disappointment the ones that were blocked were the more devastating of his attacks. 'Okay that was way too fast. I'm not sure if I can block his next set but I ain't given in just yet,' the stubborn blonde cried out in his mind.
While the redhead was still close, Roxas sent a kick at Axel left leg to try and slow him down, but the redhead dodged it with a second to spare. Not missing a beat, Axel sent another flurry of attacks at Roxas. The young blonde took several again, but dodged the last set of five hits Axel threw. Roxas then got out of the redhead's reach and came back in with a flurry of his own. Axel dodged the first four of Roxas' six count attack. Again, Axel couldn't figure out where the power behind Roxas' attack was coming from, but he truly felt it. The last two attacks hit Axel's right side and left shoulder, both were throbbing with a pain he couldn't explain.
"Yo Roxie, so where does all this power come from? With your girlish frame, I figured a hit from you wouldn't hurt," Axel said dodging another strike getting behind the young blonde. Not thinking about his words, he noticed Roxas' figure shake, but all he could feel was pure hatred pouring off the blonde.
Without another word, Roxas seemed to vanish from sight. Axel was caught off guard by this and looked around waiting for the blonde, but when he noticed Roxas from behind, it was too late. Roxas' face carried all his anger, as well as the kick that connected to Axel's left leg. Pain shoot through Axel's entire body from that one hit and he instantly regretting talking about the younger boy's figure. As a mental note, he wrote to never bring it up unless he had a death wish.
Pushing the pain away for now, Axel moved in and launched a fierce attack of his own. This time, every hit made their mark and forced the young blonde back.
While Roxas fought the devious redhead, Sora was having a time with Riku. When Riku realized Sora wasn't going to attack first, the silver-headed male went straight in. However Sora dodged the attack and began to circle around Riku. Riku watched Sora and noticed his movement was swift but very graceful. He went to strike again, but it was countered and thrown aside. As Sora continued to circle Riku, the silver-head boy decided to get out. He swiftly moved into the opposite direction Sora was moving and was now waiting for Sora.
Figuring that since Riku was now outside of his attack reach, Sora smiled as he went in. With a quick punch at Riku's midsection, Sora was able to get in close on Riku. Riku blocked the punch and sent one of his own in return, but Sora deflected the attack again and swiftly moved forward. Moving his forward leg behind Riku's, Sora used his weight to off-balance Riku's, causing the older male to fall on his back. Swiftly trying to finish him off, Sora went to pin him with his foot, but the older boy dodged and was on his feet quickly. Cursing himself for falling for the ploy, Riku went at him with renewed energy. Sora was able to dodge most of the onslaught, but a few hit him and taught him that Riku was a powerhouse.
Taking his knowledge, Sora backed off and began to circle Riku again. Figuring that his circular movements were the key to Sora's attack patterns, Riku came in again for another hard strike, but this time the short brunette caught him off guard. Once the boy deflected the attack once more, Riku was met with a swift kick to the side. Sora smirked as his attack made direct contact with the older boy. Clutching his side for a moment, Riku felt a slight throbbing in his side. He knew it wouldn't affect his fighting, but knowing that the little brunette was able to hit him pleased him. He smirked and looked at Sora and called, "I guess you really can't judge a book by its cover, huh kid?"
Sora smiled and replied, "Yeh I know. So you gonna talk or you gonna fight?" Shaking his head at the kid, Riku went back into his offensive stance and went at Sora. This time, Riku sent a kick at Sora's legs and followed up with a punch. His attacks were successful as the kick distracted Sora long enough for the punch to land its mark.
Sora cringed at the power that Riku used to hit him and took a few steps back, glaring at the older boy; Sora dropped his arms and took a deep breath, as his arms dropped, then swiftly brought them back up. However they were in a different position than before. Riku watched Sora carefully and was surprised when Sora came in close. Riku never got a chance to defend as Sora's right arm took hold of his own right arm. Sora, who was now along Riku's side, brought his left arm across the two connected right arms, and with blazing speed brought it up along the two arms to try and connect with Riku's face.
Riku was able to catch Sora's arm just in time, but received a kick to the midsection. Riku grunted from the sudden attack and quickly used his superior strength and flipped the brunette over his shoulder and onto his back. As he went to step on Sora's chest, the brunette rolled away and got back to his feet.
Heaving from attacking a circling older boy, Sora looked over at Roxas and saw he was in the same position he was in. Not taking his eyes off Riku, Sora called out to his brother, "So you tired?"
Roxas let a long sigh as he replied, "Yeh I think we should attack together now."
Sora beamed as his brother said what he was hoping he'd say. The twins quickly sprinted to the other, while Axel and Riku did the same. Once they were together again, they smiled at their opponents and stood up straight. Taking relaxing breaths, the twins went back to back in the same attack stance. Axel and Riku watched from a defensive stance, but neither was ready when the twins took off running at full speed.
Once they were in range for their first strike, Roxas and Sora did a spinning kick to the sides of their opponents. As usual the two juniors were able to block the attack and block the follow up punch that was shadowed by the kick. However, they missed the kick that came right behind the punch. Staggering backwards, Riku and Axel were soon caught off-guard again. The twins had just landed from the surprise kick and were already going in for another attack. This time it started off with a punch, followed by another kick. However the third strike was another punch. The third strike made contact much to the pleasure of the twins. Backing off once more, the twins took off again, but this time they jumped into the air and went for a heel kick. This time, Riku and Axel were very much prepared for the twins and caught them by their legs, and wanting to be struck again by their normal three strike technique, they tossed the twins away and went in with a punch to the midsection ending the match for the twins.
Yuffie, Zell, and the rest of the class had watched the match in absolute silence, but as it ended, Yuffie announced, "And with the end of this match, Riku and Axel win, but not without a valiant effort from Roxas and Sora Strife!"
Zell was walking over to the boys and asked them if they were okay. Sora smiled and said, "Yeh I'm okay, my pride's more beaten up than I am though." Roxas agreed with his brother, but what surprised them was that Riku and Axel helped them up and congratulated them.
"You two actually gave me and pretty boy a really decent match, but that thing you two did at the end was weirdly cool! How long did it take you guys to develop that," Axel asked curiously.
Once on his feet again, Sora looked at his opponent for the first time. Sora swallowed thick as he looked the older boy up and down and noticed how handsome he actually was. Silver strands of hair clumped together from sweat, seafoam green eyes watched the little brunette, which sent a shiver down Sora's spine, and a smooth pale chest rose and fell glistening from the sweat that rolled down it. From there, Sora forced himself to look away not wanting to be caught, so he answered Axel's question.
"Well we haven't really mastered that last thing we did yet. We kinda started developing it once we both became proficient in our second martial art. After that it was a process of taking things we learned from each martial art and put them together," the brunette said as a blush crossed his face from looking at the silver haired boy's body.
Riku smirk as he caught Sora's blush, but before he could speak, a yell stopped them all in their tracks. "Hey you two stop flirting with my students and hit the showers so you can get to ready to go!"
The snickering of their classmates could be heard all over the gym, and caused both Roxas and Sora to blush from head to toe.
Riku sighed and looked at Sora again. He smiled and said before leaving, "I had a lot of fun today, how about I take you out to lunch tomorrow since it's a weekend?" Sora was still blushing and quickly nodded yes. Riku's smile didn't falter as he said, "Great! Meet me by the fountain in the front of the school around noon and we'll head out together." With that said, Riku headed towards the locker room beaming in happiness that he'd gotten a date with the brunette.
Axel sighed and looked at Roxas, and said, "Sorry about making you mad during the match. I have a condition that makes me run off at the mouth."
Roxas rolled his eyes, but placed a small smile on his face and replied, "If you want me to forgive you, then take me out tomorrow. I don't know my way around the city yet so you can make it up by showing me around."
Axel's eyes nearly grew to the size of dinner plates as he listened to the blonde. He then gave Roxas a hug and began to spin around. "Don't worry Roxie I'll show you around! Trust me, no one knows this town like I do," Axel said once he put the blonde back on solid ground. He beamed and told him to meet him by the fountain by the school's entrance at noon and he'd be there.
As everything stopped spinning, Roxas began to blush at the fact he's asked the redhead on a date. Now there was only one thing standing in the way of him and Sora going out tomorrow, and his name was Cloud Strife.
TBC …
Okay so how was that everyone? Did you like it? Did you hate it? Tell me I'm getting really nervous about this. It's my first KH story and I want to know what everyone thinks. Well TTFN…
