Spy School
Me: Well I thought that went well.
Sora: Me too.
Riku: Why do you torture me, woman?
Me: You mean the cameras? They are there for a point. You'll see.
Riku: It better be a good point.
Me: (grinning) Oh it is! Just not in this chapter.
Chapter Two
Finally they had managed to get to Riku's apartment after a few... mishaps. Yuffie had been determined to she if Riku was naturally silver, even though she had seen the videos. In protest she said that she could see too well. Sora and Riku had to both tell her that he was, which made Riku blush again. In the end Squall had to hold her away, from Riku, until she gave up. Which was good for Riku, because as far as he knew striping in public was still an public offense.
"Nice digs." Stated Yuffie. "It looks nice in really live."
'Stupid cameras.' Thought Riku. "Is there anyone that hasn't watched the videos."
Yuffie thought this over. "No not really. Well apart from Sora, he watched it all live." She said pointing towards Sora, who cheeks had now reddened.
Riku looked at Sora, who was trying his best not to look at Riku. Something still bothered Riku about the videos. "Why did all of you have to see it? Why not just Sora?"
Yuffie shrugged her shoulders. "Orders. Cid said we should so we could understand you better by watching."
'Great.' Thought Riku sarcastically. Riku made his way to his bedroom and picked up a rather large suitcase. Riku started to pack his clothes. "So what do you guys do exactly?"
"Not a lot really." Yuffie put her hands behind her back. "We're kinda the good guys. We stop drug lords, slavery and stuff like that, but it's been pretty quiet."
"What do you do when you're not saving the world?" Riku went into the bathroom and got all his toiletry stuff.
Yuffie shrugged her shoulders. "Chill out. There's nothing much we really can do. The latest thing to happen has been to get you."
Riku came out of the bathroom holding a lot of bottles, which he placed in the suitcase. "Do you like, have any special talents, or anything?"
"Oh yeah. We have to. I'm a ninja and thief. Leon here can use a gunblade, which is a bad ass sword with a gun. Sephiroth has a long, bad ass sword. And Cloud had a squareish bad ass sword." Said Yuffie, smiling brightly. Squall growled at the girl for using that name.
"I guess you have a thing for 'bad ass swords'?" Yuffie nodded. "What about Sora?" Asked Riku.
Sora was leaning against the wall next to the window. "I've got my guns." Sora said sadly.
Riku raised a thin silver brow. "Do you not have any other talent?" Sora shook his head.
Yuffie spoke up. "Don't be silly Sora. Of course you do." Yuffie looked at Riku. "He can act really good, but normally Cid makes him watch all the surveillance stuff. Which to me is pretty weird considering that he's been there longer than any of us. Even though he is the youngest."
Riku looked over at Sora, who looked slightly depressed. "How old are you?"
Sora looked up at the mercury haired boy. "Fourteen. I'll be fifthteen in a couple of weeks."
Riku smiled. "Well then. I'm to be your partner now, so I won't let you get suck watching stupid surveillance stuff." Sora brightened up and smiled. The brunette eyes sparkled with happiness. 'What happening to me? Why do I feel like there's butterflies in my stomach.' Thought Riku.
"Do you need any help?" Asked Sora.
"Yeah." Riku thought about what he would take to his new 'home'. "In that wardrobe there should be a rucksack, can you please out all the stuff, other that clothes, in there."
"Okay." Sora opened the wardrobe and Yuffie and Squall helped out.
Riku took the clothes from his wardrobe and out them in the suitcase and closed it.
Sora spotted some magazines that Sora thought Riku would want but just before he put it in the bag, he realized what was on the cover. "Umm... Riku."
'Oh no. I forgot.' Riku thought as he rushed to Sora and grabbed the Playgirl magazines and hid them behind his back. He laughed nervously. "I'll just put these in this bag."
Yuffie had spotted one that Riku had missed and started reading it. Sora and Squall both started reading too. Riku turned back around to help his new friends pack his stuff. His face immediately reddened and he froze on the spot. Yuffie looked up and saw Riku, she closed the magazine. "What? Don't be sooo embarrassed we all know that your gay. And it healthy for a boy your age to like this stuff." Yuffie waved the magazine. Squall took the magazine and started to read again.
Riku pointed to Squall. "I thought he was straight?"
Yuffie shook her head. "Nope. He's bi, but I'm not to sure about little Sora here." She ruffed Sora's spiky hair. He shooed her hands away.
"Riku, where did you get this?" Asked Squall lifting up the magazine. Yuffie and Sora gave Squall a quizzical look. "What? I've been looking for it." The two shrugged there shoulders and started to pack again.
'This is going to be a long day.' Thought Riku. 'A really long day.'
The four new friends made there way to the east end of town, where the Spy School was. The outside of the building, looked like an old fashioned boarding school, which is good if that's what you wanted it to look like. Riku had quite a few bags which him after he pack, so Yuffie, Squall and Sora offered to help. But after some slight complaining from Yuffie, she ended up carrying the smallest bag. They entered the huge building and could hear shouting from the end of the corridor.
"I guess Cid found out then." Said Yuffie as she walked into the Headmasters office.
"I can't believe the arrogance of both of you." Shouted a short plump man with chocolate coloured hair. He looked around and signaled for the rest to come in. "And leaving Sora, on his own." He continued to shout at a tall male with long silver hair and a shorter male with spiky blonde hair. The pair were holding hands, defiantly. Both males looked to be in there late teens.
There were two more people in the room that stayed quiet. Both were girls, the taller of the two had long brown hair and bright green eyes and was wearing a pink dress. The other looked longer and had auburn hair and violent coloured eyes. She was wearing a pink, strapped top over a white, strapped top and a short purple skirt. The taller of the two girls was giving the guy with the blonde spiky hair a weird sort of I-want-you look. The other was smiling brightly which made her look... innocent.
Riku looked at the two youths holding hands. 'That's probably Sephiroth and Cloud.' Thought Riku.
Squall coughed to get everyone attention. "You wanted to see us?"
"Oh yes." Cid turned to face everyone. "Since the event of today I will be forced to separate Cloud and Sephiroth." Cid signaled for the two girls, from behind him, to come forward. "These are my two beautiful daughters, Aeris and Kairi."
The taller of the two stepped forward. "It's nice to meet you all." She smiled sweetly to everyone apart from Sephiroth.
"Cloud, Aeris is to be your new partner."
Cloud's eyes widened. "You've got to be kidding me? No way!" Cloud hid behind Sephiroth. Aeris ran behind Sephiroth and was about to grab onto Cloud's arm.
Sephiroth stepped in her way. "He's mine." Sephiroth growled. Aeris pouted and looked at her father. She gave him her puppy-dog eyes that she knew he couldn't say no to.
"Sephiroth move out the way, now." Cid said sternly.
Sephiroth grunted and moved to the side. Aeris jumped and grabbed onto Cloud, who whimpered quietly. "Sephy." Sephiroth looked at his poor boyfriend who was being held in a death grip and looked depressed.
"Right now. Sora I told you that you could have a partner." Cid pushed his younger daughter forward. "Sora, Kairi will be your new partner."
"But I thought... Riku was to be?" Sora asked confused. He really did want Riku to be his partner.
"Yes but since today's events and my girls wanting to join, you will be with Kairi."
Kairi walked up to Sora and giggle and held out her hand. "Hi."
Sora shook the hand. "Hey."
Sephiroth looked over at the other silver haired youth. He reminded him of someone, but who was it?
"Sephiroth, Riku will be your new partner." Cid lifted up a file from his desk. "I have reorganized the codenames. Sora, Kairi you will still be Light. Sephiroth, Riku you will still be Darkness. And Cloud, Aeris you will be Destiny."
Cloud snorted. "Who made up that name?"
"Aeris." Said Cid smiling at Aeris. Aeris smiled brightly back. "I want you all, in the next couple of hours, to get to know your partner. Dismissed." Everyone left the room apart from Squall and Yuffie. "Ahh, yes. I want to talk to you two about a new drug lord."
Riku, with the help of Sephiroth was sitting in his new room unpacking his stuff. Sephiroth was sitting on the bed, looking bored. Riku tried to start a conversation. "So, how long have you and Cloud been together?"
Sephiroth smiled a little. "Almost two years. It's our anniversary on Sora's birthday."
"A least you'll never forget when it is."
"Yeah."
"So, what were you and Cloud doing when Sora called you?"
Sephiroth's smile widened. "Having sex."
Riku gave Sephiroth a curious look. "You're very blunt, aren't you?" Asked Riku while putting some of his clothes in a drawer.
Sephiroth nodded his head. "Yip. You learn quick." Riku just shrugged his shoulder. Sephiroth watched Riku for a little while. He was trying to figure out who the boy reminded him of. 'Maybe he knows Ansem?' Thought Sephiroth. "Hey Riku, by any chance would you know a guy called Ansem?"
Riku stopped what he was doing and turned around. "Y-yeah. Why do you know him?" Riku asked nervously.
"Yeah. He was my dad."
Riku eyes widened in shock. "Really? Cuz he's my dad too." Now it was Sephiroth's turn to be shocked. Both youth stayed quiet and just looked at each other. 'He does look a bit like dad.' Thought Sephiroth and Riku. They both snapped out of their thoughts, questions on both their minds. "When was the last time you had seen him?" Asked Riku.
"About a year ago. He came here and told me he had been searching for me. He told me who he was and that I was his son. I didn't believe so we got a test done and it proved that he was telling the truth."
"Do you know were he is?" Asked Riku desperately.
Sephiroth nodded sadly. "He's dead, Riku. Big car crash, he died on impact." Riku stood there in shock. He had wanted to see Ansem again. "When was the last time you saw him?" Asked Sephiroth.
"About a year and a half ago. He came and found me when I was in a gang fight. He told me the whole story about my mum and that he had been searching for me and another. He bought the apartment I was in. He really helped me out a lot." Riku let out a sad sigh. "I guess that makes us brothers then." Joked Riku.
"Yeah." Said Sephiroth. "If you think about it then it was kind of obvious. I mean the whole silver hair and emerald eyes thing. There's not a lot of people like us, you know?" Riku nodded and went back to unpacking his stuff. "You want help?"
"Yeah can you put all the things in that bag," Riku pointed to the rucksack. "In the wardrobe."
Sephiroth did as he was asked. He stopped when he found a magazine. "Riku?"
"Yeah?" Riku turned around and saw Sephiroth holding one of his Playgirl magazines. He blushed. 'Stupid videos. Stupid magazines. How do I get myself into these situations.'
"Don't worry I've got this one already." Said Sephiroth. "Hey has Leon seen these?"
"He saw that I had them. Why do you ask?"
"He's been looking for them for ages, but the shop is always sold out by the time he gets there." Said Sephiroth smirking.
"I guess that has something to do with you?" Asked Riku.
Sephiroth nodded. "Yip. Cloud and me buy them all. It a tradition that we've managed to keep going for about six months." Sephiroth smiled brightly.
"You're evil. You know that right?"
Sephiroth nodded. "You said something about our mother. What did he say she was like? I only know her name."
A ghost smile went across Riku's face. "He showed me a picture of her. She was very beautiful. Long, wavy light blonde hair and emerald green eyes. She died after giving birth to me. Ansem, because of family problems wasn't there at the time and didn't know what had happened. He told me that he was searching for another as well as me. I guess he found you."
Sephiroth nodded. "By any chance was her name 'Sofia'?" Riku nodded. Sephiroth stood up, walking towards Riku. He hugged the shorted male. "So you really are my brother. It's nice to have family that won't leave me."
Riku was a bit shocked but hugged back. "Same here." Sephiroth released Riku and continued to help with his unpacking. Riku went back to unpack the rest of his clothes.
"Don't about the magazines." Teased Sephiroth. "It's only natural."
"It's embarrassing when people see them, though. You're not the first person. Yuffie, Sora and Squall saw them when I was packing."
Sephiroth laughed. "You poor boy. First you find out about the cameras then you get caught with naughty pictures." Sephiroth controlled his laugher. "Since we're talking about your sexual orientation, who do you like better Sora or Leon? Cuz you're not getting Cloud he's all mine!"
Riku waved his hand dismissal. "I don't want Cloud, I'm not into blondes. Anyway I don't think Squall likes that name."
"So he's not here to complain, is he?"
Riku shrugged his shoulders. "Guess not."
"Anyway, if you don't like blonde then that means you like brunettes, right? Which one Sora or Leon?"
"You can't ask me that. I don't even know them that well."
Sephiroth crossed his arms. "So? Looks then. Which one do you like the look of more?"
"Your really want me to tell you?" Riku raised a silver brow. Sephiroth nodded. "Alright. I like Sora. He's... damn I can't describe what he is. He's nice to talk to. He's friendly and open. I don't really know what it is but I really like him."
Sephiroth looked stunned at the other youth. "Wow. Sounds like someone has a big crush, or maybe a bit more than that."
Riku shook his head. "I don't think I could do anything about it though. I don't even know if he likes guys. Do you know?"
Sephiroth shook his head. "Nope. None of us know. But he's still young, give him time he'll figure it out on his own." Riku nodded and put the last pair of trousers in the drawer.
Me: Sorry that took so long. I had bought Manga books and I couldn't drag myself away from them till I had finished.
Sora: Which ones did you buy?
Me: FAKE volumes 4, 5 & 6.
Riku: Aren't you a tiny bit obsessed with the whole gay/yaoi/shonen-ai stuff?
Me: ::nodding:: Yip. I am indeed. Review please. Make me happy.
