Thanks for all the reviews. Only this chapter will be about school. The next few chapters will be a surprise. There will be a twist where a brand new character comes into the picture and…well… you'll find out, but for now here is Sora's first day back at SCHOOL. He finds a new friend who doesn't appear what he really is.
Chapter 7: Sora's first day back to school and a new friend
Sora awoke to a strange buzzing sound. "Huh? What could that be?" Sora muttered to himself. He then remembered that it was his alarm clock. 'Duh, it's my alarm clock. Sora you would forget your head if it wasn't attached to your shoulders' thought Sora. He pressed the button to turn the alarm clock. Sora then wondered why his alarm clock was set. It was about 5:30 in the morning and Sora hadn't fully awakened yet. 'School' was what he thought. He was actually happy to go to school for a change. Sora would see all of his friends, and enemies. When Sora was young, a gang of about 6 or 7 punks picked on Sora still to the day even though he was already 14 when he left. Sora wasn't the LEAST bit worried about him. If they wanted hand-to-hand combat, he would do what Leon, Cloud, Yuffie, Aerith, and Sephiroth (remember, he turned good with some persuasion from Cloud…) taught him. If they wanted to fight dirty and fight with weapons, he would just summon his key blade. Just in case, Sora would take all of the key chains with him too, especially the Ultima Weapon key chain. He used the Ultima Weapon the most (just because that's my favorite). Sora chuckled to himself at the thought of the gang of punks when they saw his hand-to-hand combat style or his key blade. He then got dressed into his favorite black outfit and headed downstairs to make himself some breakfast.
"Bye Mom, I'll see you after school!" Sora yelled to his mother.
"Ok Sora, have a good day and PAY ATTENTION!" Sora's mother called out. Sora grabbed his bag and ran out the door toward the ferry, which would take him to the school on one of the islands. On the way toward the dock, he met up with Kairi. She gave Sora a peck on the cheek and said hi.
"Oh, hi Kairi." Sora said happily.
"What put you into this mood?" Kairi asked giggling.
"I just couldn't wait to see you again. I mean it's been over a year since I've seen you, and I don't want to lose you again." Sora replied, starring into Kairi's eyes.
"Don't worry Sora, you'll never lose me again. I promise."
Sora replied, "I guess what I'm trying to say is…I love you Kairi."
"Sora…I've been waiting forever for you to say that."
"Really?" Sora stood there at a loss for words.
"Sora, I love you too." Just then, Tidus, Selphie and Wakka joined up with the two on the dock waiting for the ferry. They all started chatting about what was new at the school when 5 minutes later, the ferry came. They then all climbed aboard and Sora couldn't wait to see his old friends. About 15 minutes later, they all arrived at school. The other kids that were picked up on the fairy stared in awe at the return of Sora and how much he matured (and the girls noticed his intense muscle tone). Most of the people at the school where whispering to each other when Sora walked down the hall to the principle's office. He just smiled and walked down the hall. When he got there to the office, the kids, teachers and office staff gaped at Sora like he was a horrifying monster. Sora just minded his own business and asked if he could see the principle to get his schedule for his classes. The attendant said, "Sure, I already guess you know where his office is right? You came to this school last year."
"Yeah, don't worry I know the way" Sora replied, and Sora went to the other room, turned the corner and knocked on the principle's door. "Come in. Sora! How are you? My you've grown!"
"Thanks Principle Himora. Listen; can I get a schedule for class? I think I'll be here for a while now." Sora asked the Principle.
"Sure let me get one ready. It'll be ready in about 5 minutes." Sure enough, 5 minutes later, the principle had his schedule ready. Sora's schedule was as follows:
Health
English
Cooking
Lunch
P.E/ fighting techniques
Science
Geometry
Sora felt happy with his schedule. Health he didn't despise so much, not even English either, but what he REALLY hated was cooking. Sora had not but a clue on how to cook, but then he thought, 'well that's why I'm at school, to learn.' RRRRRRIIIIIINNNNGGGGGGG. The bell sounded all throughout the school. Sora decided he had better get going. He didn't want to be late on his first day back after all. So he headed for Health class. He felt nervous, he didn't know who would be in his classes. Everyone else had already started school about 5 months ago so everyone knew each other. When Sora arrived to class he found out that he had Wakka and Tidus in his class. So he didn't feel to bad and grabbed a seat by them both. When the tardy bell rang, everyone got to his or her seats. The teacher began, "Good morning students."
"Good morning professor." The class replied.
"Today we are learning about drugs and alcohol and what they can do to you."
Sora was relieved. He thought, with his karma, they were going to be learning about (you know what).
First few classes didn't go so bad. Almost everyone stopped staring when they finally got used to Sora being back, and which made him even happier was that Kairi was in his English and cooking classes. Lunch. Sora finally got a break and had a chance to relax and enjoy his lunch his mother had made the previous night. Just then, Sora felt like something was wrong. He couldn't place it, but something made his hair stand up on end. A strange boy sitting at the other table also felt this kind of feeling. Both Sora and the boy were trying to find out what was making them feel like this. They both found it traced to one another. Sora felt like he knew this boy, but in fact he had never seen him in his entire life. The same thing with the strange boy. His name was Soriku was a little older than Sora. Sora was fifteen and Soriku was 15 but 3 months older. Soriku was not a slim teen, although it looked like he was kind of chubby he actually wasn't. Each one of his muscles where very toned. He had a very large build, and had slicked back hair. Sora thought, 'why is this guy giving off these weird vibes. It's like I know him.'
'Who is this guy, I feel like I'm drawn to him for some reason.' Soriku walked up to Sora, said hello and put out his hand for him to shake. Sora took his hand and shook it and said, "Very nice to meet you." Sora replied.
"Likewise!" Soriku stated. Almost immediately they became friends and started talking to each other. It turned out that Sora and Soriku were very much alike. They liked the same hobbies, almost the same foods, and especially, martial arts. Both Sora and Soriku loved P.E because most of the time, they spared against their classmates. Little did Sora and Soriku know they shared so much more than the same likes but also the same destiny. Soriku asked Sora where he lived.
"Do you know Kairi?" Sora asked
"As a matter of fact, yes I do."
"Well I live on the same island as her, Tidus, Selphie, and Wakka."
"Wow cool!" Soriku replied, "I live on the island next to you!"
"Awesome." RRRRRRRRRRRIIIIIIIIIIIIINNNNNNNNNNGGGGGGGGGGG.
"Alright! Time for P.E!" they both said almost at once.
"Ah, Sora, nice to see you again!" the P.E teacher remarked.
"Thanks sir." Sora replied.
"Good, now hurry and get dressed. We're doing exhibition matches today in martial arts. I'll bet you're happy."
" I am sir. You know it was my favorite thing to do last year, and it still is."
"That's great Sora. Now hurry and get dressed." Replied the teacher.
"Yes sir." It turned out that Sora and Soriku had their lockers next to each other. When they finally got to the arena. After stretching and running a lap, the coach sorted the class into partners. It also turns out that Tidus and Wakka were in his class too. The coach stated that they only had time for three fights and that they would be joining the girl's class to watch each other fight. Once the girl's class and the boy's class were together the coach called out the fights. The fights were as follows:
Tidus vs. Soriku
Kairi vs. Yukina
Sora vs. Wakka
Sora decided that this would be a good time to see what kind of fighter Soriku was.
"This is pay back time lit'le mon!" Wakka yelled at Sora.
"Watch what you say…you might actually regret it," Sora yelled back.
Sora had a smirk on his face.
"Tidus, Soriku, your up!" the coach said. The fight didn't last long. One punch by Soriku and it was over. Next up, Kairi and Yukina. They both stepped in the arena. The fight lasted for a few minutes with each using a very traditional fighting style. Kairi then landed the final blow and came out the victor. The coach came and announced the last fight. It was then time for Wakka and Sora to step into the ring. Sora performed a few spinning leaps across the arena. This scared Wakka REAL bad. He surrendered. Kairi had suffered a lot of bumps and bruises during her fight. So she couldn't go on to the semi-finals. Since Sora and Soriku where the only ones left there was only one fight left. The coach stated " We have a very special fight that we have invited the whole school to come watch. Sora and Soriku…you stay here. The rest of the class get dressed and meet out in the field and sit on the bleachers. Sora had no clue why this was going to be such a dramatic fight. 'I know Soriku loves fighting, but he hasn't been taught the skills I have. I'd better not hurt him to much.' Sora thought to himself. Soriku couldn't wait to fight his new friend and see how good he really was.
"Hey Sora! Ready for our fight?" Soriku came by and asked
"You bet I am."
"Looks like every one know we are friends now. Kairi told me about your adventure with sealing the door and the keyblade and your training. I just have one thing to say; don't hold back!" Soriku requested.
"I thought Kairi wasn't supposed to tell anyone, are you kind of surprised?" Sora replied.
"Not in the least bit. Somehow, when I met you, I knew that you were an uncommon person in this school."
"Huh. That's peculiar. That's the same way I feel about you!" Sora said with a kind of hushed up voice.
Soriku interrupted Sora's train of thought; "We'll see what we have to offer each other in our fight."
Just then the coach came to the two and told them to start warming up. So Sora and Soriku started stretching and practicing throwing punches and kicks within their boundaries.
"Good luck to us both. Eh Sora?" Soriku said as they walked to the field with some 2,000 students prepared to watch their special fight. The students started cheering either Soriku's name or Sora's. Suddenly the coach yelled, "BEGIN", and the fight started. Soriku started charging at Sora, but Sora easily dodged his attack with his recently found sense of awareness. Soriku quickly caught on, stopped, and started throwing punches and kicks at Sora in which he easily blocked. While Soriku was throwing them, Sora spoke out loud, "Come on Alex, I can sense that this isn't even half your best." Soriku stopped throwing punches and halted a few feet away from Sora in a fighting pose, "You're right Sora, this isn't my best, but you do not wish to see my best."
"Why not?" Sora replied.
"I might destroy this whole planet." Sora was stunned as to what he was hearing. It also occurred to him that he had the power to destroy his and any other world, so he decided to be careful and not show of his best. Sora started speaking, "You know that this isn't my full power either. Come on Soriku; let's give these guys a REAL fight. What do you say?"
Soriku replied with, "You should know me by now. You can go first Sora." Sora understood, so he started concentrating and focused his mind on the lessons he was taught at King Mickey's Castle. He was through charging up. "Your turn Soriku." Sora remarked. Suddenly Soriku's body was surrounded by a golden aura. Sephiroth taught Sora how to sense a person's energy level. Sora then felt Soriku's energy skyrocket. The fight continued with Sora and Soriku matching blow-for-blow. Everyone, including Kairi was astonished when the two started taking their battle to mid-air. Sora caught a glimpse of the gang of punks and their eyes were popping out of their heads. 'Looks like they won't be bothering me anymore.' Their battle lasted for hours. Soriku surprisingly lost more energy more rapidly than Sora and Sora landed the final blow that knocked Soriku to the ground. Sora was claimed victor of the battle. Both of their clothes had shreds and pieces missing, and they both had bumps and bruises. After the fight, they returned to their normal classes, but surprisingly no one was super surprised at the fight. They had a suspicion that this would happen so no one was treating Sora differently than they had been. It has been the same for Soriku. They school day ended and Sora talked to Soriku the whole boat ride home. They were going to spend some time over the weekend practicing their techniques. But little did anyone know, something evil was lurking around the corner, something, that could destroy everyone and everything. Will Sora find out what it is and if so, what will he do about it?
Hope you guys enjoy this nice, long chappy. Please review and tell me how I did. Thanks
