~Maybe…~
Sora sighed as he rested his head on the cafeteria table. His brothers and friends all sent him a worried look as they saw his action. He felt Riku wrap an arm around his waist as Aqua pat his head. Sora looked up with his chin on the table as he glanced at them all tiredly before sighing again.
"What's wrong?" Ventus asked worried.
"I'm just thinking of tonight…" Sora mumbled.
"What is tonight?" Xion asked confused.
"Oh! Is this about that dinner or something you and your brothers are going to?" Aqua asked Terra.
"Yes, you are attending as well; I'm guessing our uncles are going." Terra told her.
"Yes and they're making me attend as well." Sora answered.
"Well even if you lived with us still you'd be going because you'd get to see father." Demyx stated.
"Aqua is going?" Sora asked Terra.
"Yes we are allowed to bring dates." Terra explained.
"Riku?" Sora asked as he turned to look at Riku.
"Sorry but no." Riku said.
"Why not?" Sora asked.
"Because I do not wish to go." Riku stated in a way that said the conversation was over.
"Alright…" Sora agreed grudgingly.
Sora looked at Riku who was now staring down at his plate annoyed. Sora sighed as he turned and finished his food despite not being very hungry. He was dreading that night due to the party but he was hoping to see his father for the first time.
Later that night
Sora sighed as he looked around the ballroom bored. He was wearing a dark blue tux with a white dress shirt and Vanitas matched except his tux was a dark red. He followed his uncles around as they talked with various people until Vanitas and him were dismissed and allowed to do what they wanted.
As he followed Vanitas around figuring it was the best choice he saw his brothers arrive together. They were all wearing black tuxes except in different designs the ones that caught his interest were their dates. Xemnas, Zexion, Leon, and Axel all wore black tuxes that matched their partners. Larxene wore a dark yellow and black form fitting dress, while Aqua wore a semi-form fitting dark blue dress, Aerith wore a pale pink dress that had the straps on her upper arms, and lastly Xion wore a short upper thigh black loose dress.
He smiled and left Vanitas who glared in the direction he was going. His brothers smiled as they approached them. He was given hugs from the older brothers and he was happy to be with them again. He began to talk with Marluxia and the others excitedly when he felt Saix freeze slightly. He turned to see Vanitas standing behind him not looking happy.
"What is it Vanitas?" Sora asked.
"Our uncles don't want us to be around them." Vanitas stated.
"Hey they're our brothers we should spend time together." Sora replied.
"They are no brothers of mine." Vanitas stated as he turned to wait for Sora.
"Well I want to talk with them." Sora stated.
"Well to damn bad." Vanitas snarled as he grabbed Sora's arm viciously and pulled him away.
"Hey…" Xion began.
"He is a jerk…" Zack muttered.
Sora sighed as he was finally released on the other side of the room. He glared at Vanitas and went to yell at him when he stopped. He saw a familiar face enter the ballroom and he smiled as he walked over to the person. Long silver hair was tied in a ponytail as he stood at the door bored.
"Sephiroth!" Sora greeted.
"Sora? What are you doing here?" Sephiroth asked slightly surprised.
"My family are big business tycoons. What about you?" Sora asked.
"My family own a few businesses as well, my parents own restaurants but I came here for my father. My uncle is going to be representing the more well known businesses." Sephiroth explained.
"Why were you working at the bar then?" Sora asked.
"My mother didn't approve of me not earning what I'm given so I was made to get a job." Sephiroth explained.
"Oh…okay." Sora agreed.
"Ahh in fact you can meet my cousins." Sephiroth stated as he looked behind Sora.
"You're cousins?" Sora asked.
"Yes one is close to your age." Sephiroth explained as he nodded over Sora's shoulder.
Sora turned to see Riku walking in their direction with three other silver haired boys and a blonde haired boy. Their eyes widened in shock as they met. Riku and the other three came to stand next to Sephiroth and Riku looked uncomfortable, he wore a very dark, almost black, purple tux.
"Riku?" Sora asked confused.
"This is why I couldn't be your date…I was already coming with my family." Riku explained.
"You never told you're family was…" Sora began.
"Rich? Of course not." Riku chuckled.
"Ahh…so?" Sora said nodding to the four other boys.
"Oh! The shoulder length haired one is Kadaj, the spiked haired one is Loz, the near Sephiroth clone is Yazoo and the blonde is my younger brother Hope. The other three are my older brothers." Riku introduced.
"Nice to meet you so you're Riku's boyfriend?" Kadaj asked.
"Yes…" Sora replied.
"How do you know Sephiroth?" Hope asked.
"I met him when I ran away a while ago." Sora answered.
Vanitas glanced over there with a glare but his looks softened slightly as one caught his interest. Their eyes met but Vanitas looked away hurriedly.
"So who is your father?" Sora asked.
"Setzer over there." Yazoo said pointing him out.
"Oh right…" Sora said but stopped when he saw Saix and his uncles speaking with a man.
The man was tall and he had brown hair a darker shade then Sora's and Terra's. It was shaggy looking and came past his shoulders. He had blue eyes like Sora and his siblings, minus Vanitas. He wore a white dress shirt and a black tux like most of the men were wearing.
Sora froze as His uncles nodded in his and Vanitas' direction. The man turned to look at the two of them before nodding and walking over. Sora glanced at Vanitas who looked shocked as well once he saw the man approaching. Their uncles did not look pleased as the man walked towards them but their uncles and brothers followed.
"Sora?" The man asked him.
"Yes?" Sora asked.
"It's good to finally see you again my son." The man greeted.
"Dad?" Sora asked.
"Yes. I am sorry that I couldn't see you but I've been so busy with work all the time. I've finally gotten a chance to see you though!" His father said as he hugged Sora.
"Rygdea…now is not the time." Xehanort stated coolly.
"Nonsense this is my son. I haven't been paying attention to him. I also haven't paid attention to Vanitas." Rygdea said hugging Vanitas as well.
"Father? You didn't mean to not see them?" Saix asked.
"No. Every time I was almost done I was given more work, generally by your uncles." Rygdea stated.
"Then why did you allow them to take Sora?" Saix asked.
"I never said they could. I also told them I wanted Vanitas back once my work lessened but it never did." Rygdea explained.
"You're speaking nonsense Rygdea. If you are going to tell lies to get in your children's favors then we will leave and take Sora and Vanitas with us." Xehanort stated.
"I want them back." Rygdea stated firmly.
"We have the custody papers." Kefka stated.
Sora looked at his uncle and still couldn't believe the difference. He no longer looked like a jester but an actual person. He had his blonde hair in a ponytail and no make-up on and wore a dark red suit.
"Then we'll go to court. I will fight for Vanitas and Sora." Rygdea stated.
"Do what you will but they stay with us." Xehanort stated as he pulled Sora away from Rygdea and Kefka made Vanitas walk away.
The ride home was quiet and Sora had many questions going through his head. He glanced at Vanitas and saw he looked very confused as well though he hid it much better than Sora. What was going on and what was going to happen.
~End ch. 4~
What just happened? I just typed what came to me and I completely over threw the story line…well can anyone figure out what the uncles' plans are?
Their father Rygdea is from Final Fantasy XIII (I couldn't find any other brunettes and I don't know the guy well so if someone does please tell me!).
Poll: Vanitas's significant other.
Hope – 6
Kadaj – 7
Sephiroth – 2
Wow… Kadaj pulled through by one. I forgot about Paine sorry mainly because I wanted to introduce who would be Vanitas' partner but not in detail so yeah.
Last chance to vote for who Vanitas likes! Sorry for those wanting Paine I had forgotten…Only one vote per person.
