Ice Prince

Well, here you go, another chapter to read.

YAY! MmmmmmmmmmSUGAR!...

I like cookies. And tea. Wow, there was this one time I was sitting at my computer, a safe distance away, which is unusual for me, since I normally can't read things that are far away, and I had some green tea with me. Well, we already know this isn't going to end well. I took a sip, so I had a mouthful, and I suddenly realized I had to sneeze. I tried to swallow the tea, but I wasn't fast enough, and it came out my nose when I sneezed. Nice, huh?

Anyways, enough about tea, thank you to all you people who reviewed!

Do not own Kh. Trust me when I say that if I did own it, you would know.

On with the Fic!

Chapter 11- music class.

Cloud ran frantically towards the school, only to fall flat on his face. In front of a group of giggling girls too. Great, just what he needed, to embarrass himself, and if front of people, nonetheless.

He pulled himself up, and resumed his search for his brother. He looked in all of the places he knew Sora liked, like in all the quiet corners. He almost had given up, when he remembered that Sora wouldn't care if the roof was difficult to get to, he would go anyways.

Cloud took of running, and somehow found himself going in the opposite direction of where he wanted to go, something making him run that way. He ran down the hallway, and into the library. Sure enough, there was Sora, huddled over a book, in the corner.

Sora had seen Cloud approaching him, but had chosen to ignore him.

"Sora." Cloud whispered his brother's name, and almost sobbed as Sora continued to ignore him. "C'mon, let's go talk."

Sora shrugged, and decided that yelling at Cloud didn't sound as bad as sitting by himself, in a place where you couldn't make any noise. He got up, put the book in the shelf, and walked out of the library.

Cloud followed behind his brother, and Sora led them back outside, near to where the group was sitting.

OoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoO

The group gasped with this revelation, and Axel nodded sadly.

"Yes, his original parents were quite the pair."

"I..." Roxas was about to cry. "I remember when he first came to the orphanage, he wouldn't talk, or barely move on his own. When he did move, it was so silent, and he kinda seamed afraid to walk louder." Roxas shook his head. "It took me years to get him to trust me."

"You were at the same orphanage as Sora?" Larxene was a little surprised.

Roxas nodded, and smiled sadly. "The first time I accidentally touched Sora, just a light tap on the arm, he whimpered, and curled up into the smallest ball I have ever seen. And that's saying a lot, cuz I've seen a lot of people curled up.

Axel nodded, "Did he ever scream?"

Roxas frowned. "Now that you mention it, no, he didn't make any sounds at all, besides whimpers."

Axel shook his head. "He used to scream too."

Roxas looked surprised. "He did?"

"Yup, and they were fucking loud screams too."

"Loud? Sora?"

"Yup." Axel nodded.

"What happened?" Riku wanted to know.

"One day they just stopped."

"I'm assuming that's because he left?" Riku raised his eyebrows.

"No, he still 'lived' at home." Axel shook his head again.

"Then why did he stay at home if he was treated so badly?" Larxene voiced.

"He didn't have anywhere else to go, and I suspect that he still loved his mother, despite the fact that she couldn't stand up for herself, or her kid." Axel shrugged. "They called him the Ice Prince at our old school."

Roxas's eyes widened "HE was the ice prince?!"

Axel nodded.

"Wow, I mean, I'd heard the name, just never associated it with Sora."

"Yeah." Axel nodded, "But one day, he was being 'punished' again, so I called the police, and they arrested Sora's father, and he's in prison now, and his mother was killed not too long ago. His father, even tough he's still in prison, is still trying to get Sora back."

"Well, he won't." Riku had clenched his hands into fists, and looked absolutely livid by now. "He can't take Sora away."

"Oh, someone's got a crush!" Larxene giggled.

"I do not!" Riku blushed.

"Oh, you so do!" Kairi giggled, with Selphie

"Shut up!" Riku was still blushing.

Kairi was about to make a comment about the oh so subtle blush Riku was trying to get rid of, when a scream tore their attention to the object of their conversation, and his brother.

OoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoO

"Sora, will you please look at me?" Cloud grabbed his brother's shoulder, and instantly regretted it, when Sora flinched.

"What?" Sora's voice was the most unemotional Cloud had ever heard it.

"I just want to say I'm sorry, but I can't help but worry about you. You're my brother, and I love you."

Sora's small shoulders shook with sobs, and Cloud gasped as the small brunet lunged at him.

Sora had been crying, Cloud could see, and he felt even worse. Man, I knew I shouldn't have yelled at him. I could've just told him at home later.

Cloud came back to earth when he realized that Sora was hugging him. Sora. The emo. Wow. Cloud was so surprised and flustered that he felt a couple of seconds tick by before he hugged Sora back. The surprise wasn't over, however, when he felt Sora collapse against him.

That's when he gave a scream of surprise and worry. (The scream the group heard).

OoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoO

"SORA!" Riku jumped up, and was halfway to where Cloud was gently hefting his brother into his arms, before the rest of the group had even taken two steps.

"Riku, don't yell." Cloud was talking a little quieter than usual.

"Why?" Riku was quiet too.

"It'll wake Sora up."

"What's wrong with him?"

The rest of the group had surrounded them at this point, so they heard Cloud answer Riku. "He just collapsed from exhaustion, don't worry, he'll be fine, he just doesn't sleep well."

"Well, he doesn't seem to take care of himself anymore." Axel just looked at the small boy in his brother's arms, and asked to carry him over to the trees.

Cloud nodded, and held Sora out to the red head.

Axel gasped at how light Sora was, and almost teared up.

"Does he eat?" Axel looked angry.

Cloud nodded, "I make him eat something, and So does Namine."

"Namine?" Kairi cocked her head to the side. "Who's that?"

"She's our sister." Cloud smiled. "She helps me take care of little one."

"That's Sora, right?" Yuffie jumped in the conversation.

"Yup." Cloud nodded.

They reached the trees, and Axel gently handed Sora over to Riku, and sat down. Riku just sadly stared at the sleeping brunet in his lap.

Everyone else sat in a circle so that they could see the slumbering brunet in Riku's lap.

"Thank god he's just sleeping." Cloud shuddered. "I thought it was something worse."

Riku nodded, but the others just looked confused.

"Sora, well, he has a sort of a condition." Cloud closed his eyes. "I f he gets to excited, or it something scares him really badly, or if he runs too much, you know, something that would cause his heart to pound fast, it causes him to collapse." Cloud opened his eyes, and they locked on Leon's. The tall brunet seemed to lend him the strength to continue. "Sora could even die, if something bad enough happens."

"NO!" Surprisingly, the violent outburst had come from Axel, he'd beaten Riku to it.

Everyone stared at Axel, and Sora's eyes fluttered open, but no one noticed, they were all looking at Axel.

"How much is one kid supposed to take?!" Axel stood up. "I hate this! He's like a smaller brother to me!" Axel furiously shook his head. "I'll see you guys later, I want to go vent."

Everyone nodded, but Riku gave a startled shriek (he seems to squeal or shriek a lot, doesn't he?) as he felt a loss of warmth in his lap, and he saw Sora stand up really quickly.

"Sora!" Cloud was also startled. "You shouldn't be up yet!"

Riku agreed, but Sora swayed for a second, before walking after Axel.

Owari

So, what do you think? Not a funny chapter, but you got to learn about more of Sora's past! Yay?
