AN: I'm having a tough time trying to make my sentences flow. Haha... Reviews will make it easier. Anyway hope you all enjoy the previous chapter? First day in school for our characters! Some interesting teachers too! Longest chapter so far.

Disclaimers: If KD is mine, I will transfigure it into something much delicious with all the fantastic characters! But the problem is, it belongs to Square Enix. And Disney. Maybe me in the future. Fat hope...

Sora bonded well with Kairi during the first lesson, while Riku was unknowingly neglected. To Sora's dismay, Riku was infuriated and delivered sarcastic remarks about both of them in the next lesson. Riku made a decision. On the other hand, Leon was reserved and kept as usual, while Cloud was in his usual happy-go-lucky style. Cloud wanted to attract Leon's attention, but he did not realise he has achieved that long time ago. A bit of feelings between Leon and Cloud revealed.

4. Two-Way Jealousies

After the previous eventful night, Sora was totally wasted for his first morning of school. Only with the annoying tugging of his shirt by Riku joint with the sharp ringing sound of the alarm clock managed to wake the log up.

"Five... More... Minutes... It's still... Dark..." Growled Sora, once again positioning his blanket over his lithe body.

Obviously it is dark... There's only night in Traverse... I thought he would've known it by now? Might as well let him sleep a while more. I need to use the bathroom first anyway.

Feeling an urge to pee, Sora struggled out from his blanket, tumbling onto the floor. After giggling chessily, he walked into the bathroom zombie-like, eyes half-closed.

The bathroom door opened slightly after Sora gave a light push sleepily. What he saw make his eyes grow wide open and sudden astonishment made him more alert.

Riku's changing! I should move away....

But he did not. Sora simply stood rooted and admired Riku's body. Although it was only the back view of Riku, chiseled muscles were seen. Sora's eyes travelled south to his ass...

"Hey! Peeping Tom! What are you staring at?"

Your body. Your ass is next...

Then a shirt flew towards Sora, which he failed to dodge.

Sweet revenge.

"Good morning young gentlemen and ladies. I'm Dr. Gepetto. I will be your chemistry teacher. To start it off..."

And on and on the wizened elder spoke. To Sora and Kairi, Dr. Gepetto voice was a soft lullaby enticing them to the World of Sleep. Riku, on the other hand, was sitting upright, listening to every single word and taking down precious notes.

"And now, may the gentleman over there," Dr. Gepetto pointing a finger at Sora, " and the lady beside him come forward to do a little experiment."

Sora, still dozing off, had not realised he was called. Kairi nudged Sora awake and brought him to the front.

"Please demonstrate the experiment I had covered just now."

Sora gave the teacher a puzzled and dazed look, while Kairi trembled in tension.

Heck... Just mix the damn elements and combine them through heating. Then back to sleep. Sigh...

So expert Sora instructed Kairi to dump all the elements into the boiling tube. Getting the mixed concoction from Kairi, he turned the Bunsen burner on and...

"Erm... There is some caution you should be taking. I believed you are doing things wrongly dear. No! Don't heat them up!" Gepetto's face was contorted in fear and anxiety by then.

BOOM!

Too late...

"Oops... What happened? Heh?" Sora grinned lamely to be bailed out from punishment.

"That sure is a good warning for me to start paying attention..." Stated Sora importantly to Kairi while wiping black substances off of his hands.

"Sure is... Luckily Dr. Gepetto is forgiving... Heheh... Clumsy ass!" Chuckled Kairi, and Sora joined in laughing.

Someone sitting close to them felt a pang of jealousy surging through his body.

Am I just air or what?

The next lesson was history for Riku and Sora. Kairi had dropped history for geography since history was of no value and no use brooding over the past, or so as she said. Sora, however, disagreed. History teachers were usually old folks trapped in the past who would not bother even if you sleep in their classes. That, in Sora's opinion, was the most vital part.

"Hey, Let's go for our next class!"

"Not going to walk your little girlfriend to her class?" Riku fumed sarcastically with a tinge of sourness.

Ignorant Sora just could not understand the underpinning level of Riku's words, so nonchalantly trailed along with him to the next class.

To Sora's utter disappointment, the teacher was not an old hag or such whom you could shout into her ears without getting punishment. Well... Though Sora's ideal teacher must either be very lenient or simply deaf.

It was just directly opposite upon the first impression. Their history teacher was a gruff-looking man who had the constant "I'm pissed off and fed up" look written over his face.

"Hey! You slowpokes! Hurry get your asses settle down or some whipping will be done! I need to take your freaking attendance to keep this damn job!"

I'm having doubts whether he is even a teacher. He feels more like a foul-mouthed garbage man.

Intimidated, Sora hurriedly sat down on a seat beside Riku.

"Whao... What a bad-tempered guy... Don't you think so?"

"You fucking fag! Don't talk when Cid Highwind is talking!"

Oops...

The lesson continued as silently and peacefully as possible. It seemed Cid's words had etched and screwed hard into everyone's minds and no one dared defy him.

"I'm going for Kairi," Riku murmured softly.

"What did you say!?" Sora's mind was overwhelmed with disbelief.

"FUCKING FAG!!!!!!"

This will be fun, thought Riku darkly.

When Sora's mind was messed with, time would travel extremely fast for him and it had already reached the end of the school. With a blank look, Sora moved to the dinning lounge of the school for his lunch. Riku abrupt declaration of affection towards Kairi was a great blow to Sora. What was he feeling? Jealous of Riku? But somehow, deep inside him, it was more like jealous of Kairi.

But this is all wrong! What am I feeling? This never happened before... Frustrated...

Not watching his way, Sora carelessly bumped into a girl. It was partly Sora's fault for not noticing but most lied with the girl herself, for charging energetically towards the dinning lounge. So it was more like the girl colliding with Sora.

"Whoopsie! Are you alright little boy? Seems so! I'm Yuffie, yeah! First year? Probably! Fun place, isn't it? Sure is! So what's your name? You are cute!"

Yuffie called him a little boy! No ill intentions obviously but still...

Anyway, among the multiple questions asked, Yuffie had answered all of her own questions, leaving only for his name to be told. Hell, it would not even be surprising for Sora if she tried to answer that too!

However, the hyperactive girl looked like somebody worth befriending. Evident of her amiable and lively personality, Yuffie had a lively glow, and her eyes sparkled as though up to some mischief. She just could not stand still, so resorted in skipping around her position.

"Sora's over here! Heh... Pleased to meet you."

"Happy, pleased, overjoyed, elated and honour to meet you too! You going to the dinning room, aren't you? Aren't you? Let's go together once my friend is here!"

Not that Yuffie was really irritating, but her drilling and drilling was seriously creating a headache for Sora. Not willing to spoil the mood, Sora smiled forcefully.

"Hey! She's here! She's here! Kairi! Kairi! Over here! Yipee!"

Kairi!? Must be her friend from geography class...

"Yuffie! Slow down next time! And you only need to say things once and do it slowly..." Huffed Kairi.

"Ok! No problem No problem! Hahaha! I did it again!"

She's dense. Good... I'm dense too!

"Hi, Kairi! Great friend you have over here!"

"Ya! She's the kindest soul I have ever met too! Yuffie is living with a whole family of dogs and taking good care of them. 101 Dalmatians to be exact."

Oh... So that explains her liveliness. The dogs' personalities must have rubbed off onto her.

In the dinning lounge, Leon was seated in a dim corner, brows furrowing in thought.

We are having the same class together, Leon!

Second lesson we're together too! Whoohoo!

Whao! I'm sure it's fated. Third time!

Bingo!

Bravo!

It seems we will be having all our lessons together, Leon! I'm going to die of pure happiness!

Lovely. Just lovely. Whether Cloud was serious in his words or just joking around about his joy of sharing all his classes with him, Leon sure was going to die too. From being irritated, not from happiness. Leon would have to face Cloud almost 24/7. Not that Cloud was bad but... Leon gave his forehead a light slap and groaned.

Heaven's will...

And there was homely Cloud, mingling with his crowd of friends, with occasional stares towards Leon's table.

He is downright popular. Darn those people, sucking up to him like leeches.

Little would he expect Cloud is also having similar thoughts. Even without doing anything, Leon's solemn and reserved self had gathered a dozen of girls around him.

Damn those girls! Sitting so close to Leon, eyeing him like horny bitches! Why hasn't Leon noticed? He's like a light attracting those filthy flies!

True enough, Leon did not notice those girls savouring him. He was too busy noticing somebody else.

Somebody else who was also noticing him.

A pity their gazes never met.

Sora could not sleep. He had been tossing and turning for the past few hours. Yet, he just could not sleep. On the other bed, just a metre away, was Riku. And he was the guy going after Kairi! He just could not take it down! How could somebody swallow his pride and allow his best friend to be taken away!?

Troubled, Sora sprang up from his bed and thought hard. He had enough! In the next second, he leapt over to Riku's bedside and shook him up.

"How can you sleep at a time like this? Explain yourself!"

Riku drowsily gave the clock a look and mumbled, "For the fact that it is currently 3 in the morning... Why can't I?"

Riku gave a nasty look and immediately drifted off to his slumbers again, only to be shook awake repeatedly.

"Get it over with, runt! You don't have what it takes for Kairi anyway! Girls like boys like me. Tone body, suave features and all."

Riku was right. He was toned and handsome. Sora tried to flex his arm muscles but it remained flat. Seeing Sora's outline dimly, Riku made a snort.

Silly fool...

"Hey... Girls also like something else. A big dick. Though I'm sure mine is bigger than yours." Riku chuckled evilly. He could even see Sora's blush in the darkness!

"Shy? Or your face just has sensitive nerves?"

With that, Riku slept in peace, opposed to Sora's situation. He just lied on his bed.

Sleepless night...

AN: No offense to history! Though I scored low grades for history perpetually...

Sorry for the somewhat slow update. This chapter is a tough nut to write. To keep people interested in this longer chapter, humour must be spread evenly. I wonder if I succeeded in that? And the plot for this chapter was hard to write too. I could not "show" too much of their feelings. Although short, I spent 5 hours on it... I'm slow... Think I deserve a review for each hour spent??? If yes give me!

I'm sure there are many Yuffie's fans out there! I'm one too. She is just so full of drive and lovable. All hail to Yuffie the Great! Yuffie's role in the story will probably be the middle person. Anyway, Cid is just a hard-mouthed good chap. His foul language is to spice up the story. And it did, didn't it? I will portray the good chap side of Cid in later chapters, maybe... For now, I'm contented with him being a foul-mouthed person.

Hmm... The teachers and lessons may be way too much off the traditional and way too incredible, but then... It will do good to lighten up the atmosphere! Gee... I'm going to take a rest... Will start writing the next chapter only after receiving 15 reviews! Heh... This is a threat. Nah... Not really. I'll just write when I have the time. But I really need to see if there are any responses to this story...

Thanks Twisted Truths for constantly reviewing anyway. My beta-reviewer! Out of the first four reviews, you made 3 of them.

How was it overall? I made some crude humour this time... More romance though. Well... At least in my opinion...

Another story you should read! Vash's Girl's " Behind Closed Doors", you simply cannot miss it! The plot is a bit of angsty but it just amplifies the outcome when the couples got together. And yet again! It's coming to an end... Argh...

Reviewing usually takes a minute and for that minute I know my hours are not wasted! Hint: Review button is close by!
