Enter a bit of Soriku and more Akuroku . Important stuff in ch.1


I was pouting. I'd never admit to it, but I was. We were back in school (much to our disappointment) and our teachers didn't seem to find 'we had to go out of town to help the police because the people who tried to kill us two years ago escaped' a believable reason for having missed school.

So it sounded a little far-fetched, it was the truth dammit.

Anyway, it meant that we had a lot of catching up to do and we had spent most of the day staring at the board utterly confused. Cops spent the day walking around campus. The official reason was that there was a break out and they wanted parents to feel safe about their kids being at school.

The real reason was because the last time something like this happened it was while we were at school that we were kidnapped.

We weren't allowed to spend our lunch off campus like we normally did so Axel and company came to us. Sora and I hadn't noticed them at first as we had been trying to puzzle out what we had missed our math class.

"So… we have to make sin³θ+cos²θsinθ equal sinθ?" Sora asked, staring at the paper in confusion.

I groaned and flipped through the book again, "Dammit, who the hell came up with this crap?"

"Factor out a sine," Zexion said from behind me, causing me to start a little.

"Christ, warn a guy," I whispered.

"Factor out a sine?" Sora repeated, "You can do that?"

"Yes," Zexion said simply.

I huffed and covered my face with my hands, "You are going to be stolen to explain all of this to us later, you do know that, right?"

Axel laughed quietly as he slid into a seat next to me, "So, I couldn't help but notice that we were nearly strip searched for trying to get on campus."

Kairi choked on her water, "What? No way!"

"Zack had to come and save us," Demyx said with a grin.

"Man, I pity anyone who went off campus," Tidus said.

"They let people off campus?" Axel asked, tilting his head.

"Yeah, everyone except us," Sora said, still working on the math problem.

Zexion and Demyx took a seat. Demyx struck up a conversation with the girls and Zexion started to help Sora on the math problem. I turned my attention back to my food, but was soon distracted by fingers dancing across my knee.

I shot a glance at Axel out of the corner of my eye to see him watching Zexion explain the problem. There was an amused smirk on his face that gave him away though. I tried to ignore him and just eat my lunch, but he seemed determined to not let that happen. He was slowly making his way up my thigh, stopping every few inches to make circles.

Slowly but surely I lost any and all ability to focus on anything except his hand.

Oddly enough, my reprieve came from someone who wasn't sitting at the table.

"See? I told you, no sweat!"

Everyone turned to see Peter and the Lost Boys standing a few feet away talking to Zack. Zack was frowning a little at something while Peter and the boys looked triumphant.

"Damn…" Zack whispered, "That took you, what, five seconds?"

"Told ya, nothin', no where, no how can keep us out," Slightly said proudly.

"You think we're bad, be glad it wasn't Lock, Shock, and Barrel," Peter said with a grin, "They would have been in here faster than us."

Zack let out a loud sigh, "Leon's not gonna be happy…"

"No, he's not," Leon said, a few feet away with his arms crossed.

Zack laughed nervously as he turned to face Leon. Leon ignored him and walked over to us.

"When do you three have your next classes?" Leon asked Axel, Zexion, and Demyx.

"I've got some time to kill," Axel replied.

"Like ten minutes," Demyx said, glancing at his watch.

"I'm done for the day, why?" Zexion replied.

"I want you two to play body guard then," Leon responded.

"What? Aw, common Leon!" Sora protested.

"No," he said, then looked at Axel and Zexion who both nodded, "Good."

With that he walked back over to Zack who went into explaining he wanted some of the kids to test the security around the perimeter. I wanted to laugh at him, he really chose some bad kids if he actually wanted to keep them out.

Axel stood, then grabbed my arm and pulled me up as well.

"Ack! What the hell?" I said, looking at him pissed.

"I have to go to the bathroom and I can't play bodyguard with you out here," he responded cheerfully.

"I hate you…" was my only reply as he drug me off with him.


Axel checked the bathroom to see if anyone was around and I was starting to think he was taking this bodyguard thing a little too seriously when he pushed me against the door and kissed me; hard.

I couldn't stop the groan, but not from lack of trying I assure you.

He shifted and placed a knee between my legs and I inhaled sharply. He moved away from my lips and trailed his own lightly over my neck.

"As much as I'd love to know what sorts of noises you can make," Axel said, causing a quiet whine to come from me, "we are in a public place that is surrounded by cops. I don't really want to make them come running."

"I hear a 'but' coming," I replied, mentally cringing at how breathy I sounded.

"But all this tension and danger is proving to be quite the turn on."

I made another quiet noise that I have no name for. He grinned and caught my mouth in another bruising kiss while his hands moved up my sides. I gasped and he instantly slid his tongue into my mouth.

I expected him to taste like his cigarettes, but he didn't. He tasted like spice, and kind of like smoked meat. It wasn't a hot spice, but it wasn't sweet like cinnamon. It was more like cinnamon flavored gum.

I took a moment to decipher the taste that was Axel before I started to put up a bit of a fight. I pushed back and made him fight to keep his ground. He made a quiet noise of pleasure, rocking his knee into me.

Luckily his mouth was on mine or I would have made a hell of a lot of noise. I could feel him smirk against me as he pulled away for air.

We both stood there, just breathing for a moment. After I had regained my breath I sent him a slight glare.

"That wasn't nice."

He laughed, "Well, I think we have officially been gone too long."

I felt myself blush at the thought of the questions that we were going to receive and Axel made a noise low in this throat.

"Dammit Rox, stop looking so cute."

I huffed at him and turned, walking out of the bathroom. He laughed and followed me out.


I sighed as I walked up the stairs toward my room. I was tired of listening to everyone talk about us and what to do, so I decided to follow Sora's lead and go to try to figure out my homework.

I didn't pay any mind to the fact that the bedroom door was shut. Sora usually closed it when he was doing homework. I did, however, pay a whole lot of attention to the scene that I walked in on.

Apparently Sora was not doing his homework.

No, he and Riku were making out in the desk chair.

I blinked a few times while my brain tried desperately to process what I was seeing. Apparently neither of them had heard me open the door so I quietly backed out (trying not to think about why Sora would be making that noise) and shut the door as quietly as I possibly could.

I shook my head a little bit, trying to clear the image from my mind and failing miserably. I turned and decided that I was going to be doing my homework in Riku's room.


I had nearly finished half my catch-up work when Riku walked into his room. He froze when he saw me sitting at his desk.

"Hey Riku," I said with slightly false cheerfulness, "How's it going?"

Riku paled a little, "You totally walked in, didn't you?"

"Oh yeah," I agreed without hesitation, "Word of advice, either lock the door or put the chair under the knob. I suppose the chair was out of the question since you seemed rather comfortable on it."

He cringed a little, "You going to yell now?"

I sighed and shook my head, "No."

"No?"

"No, I'm not going to yell at you. If I yelled at you I'd have to yell at Sora too."

Riku looked at me suspiciously, "What are you hiding?"

I gathered up my books and smiled sweetly, "Wouldn't you like to know."

With that I walked back into my room to see Sora actually was doing his homework this time. I dumped my stuff on my bed and sat on it, staring at him until he felt uneasy.

"Is there a reason you're staring?" Sora asked, not looking up from his homework.

"You know Sora, I never thought you'd be so aggressive, especially with Riku," I replied.

He spun around so fast I wondered if he had given himself whiplash, his face going from pale to a lovely shade of red, "W-What?"

"You heard me," I replied, "How long have you two been… ah… engaging?"

He blushed harder, "Ah… today…"

"Really? So that aggression was pent up-," Sora's hand flew out and covered my mouth.

"Please don't," he nearly whispered.

I moved back a little so I could talk, "Don't what?"

"Talk about it," he murmured.

I smiled, "Aw, are you embarrassed?"

"You would be too!" he said, his emotions caught somewhere between desperation, annoyance, and mortified.

I paused and thought about it for a moment, "Probably," I agreed, "but that's why I don't get caught."

His jaw dropped and he was on my bed in a heartbeat, "So Roxas, what have you not been telling me?"
