Author's Notes: -sigh- I should be updating RN right now, but I seriously feel no attraction towards the story. Its update will take a while. Anyway, I hope you like this chapter, Phoenix will finally take Sora for the first time, and Riku will give some much-needed respect to Sora. Anyway, for some randomness, have you ever heard 40 Kinds of Sadness by Ryan Cabrera? I am listening to the CD right now and I love that song! It will definably make an appearance in this story because I am a sucker for having characters express their feelings through music.
Disclaimer: I do not own Kingdom Hearts, Final Fantasy, or X-Men, nor any of their characters.
Warnings: Story is rated M because of boy/boy love, lots of swearing, and adult situations such as (very) heavy flirting, hot sex, and extreme make out sessions… but not for a while because we have to deal with bitchy Riku! But that just makes him sexier.

camigirl4k3: Why? Because Tidus and Selphie are sooo cute together! I love how Selph drags him around everywhere and forces him to do what she wants. Anyway, there will be some Riku POV in the next chapter probably… cause I'm too lazy to type it in this chapter.
DieChan: Well, I've never seen an X-Men/KH crossover, but there may be one out there… don't know. As far as I'm concerned, this is completely original.
Chapter Four – Of Phoenix and Rage
"Kairi and I have the rest of the day off since it's our first day, so we'll see you two later."
Tidus nodded and Selphie waved energetically, then grabbed the blonde and dragged him out of the cafeteria. Sora was about to lead Kairi out as well, but then she spoke up.
"Actually, Sora, my professor, Cyclops said that Xavier wanted me to train in the Danger Room after lunch, but you can come with me if you want."
Sora nodded and the two left.
"So Kairi, where is this 'Danger Room' anyway, and what is it?"
"It's this room that can be generated into different locations or just remain a training room. It also generates enemies, such as other mutants to battle. They aren't the actual mutant of course, but they can still injure you and vice versa. Anyway, it's in the Subbasement. Cyclops said its only accessible by a hidden elevator, which are located in the four corners of each floor, means we should turn into this room."
Kairi grabbed Sora's hand and brought him into the room.
"Where is it?"
"It should be in the corner right there," she pointed, "so lets try to open it."
The spiky-haired boy began to pound on the wall, remembering how he opened the door when he was in the infirmary. After kicking it hard, a section of the wall moved to reveal an elevator that looked as if it could barely fit two people. The two squeezed in and immediately it closed, moving downwards… very, very quickly. Sora screamed and latched on to Kairi, gasping as it slammed down onto the floor.
After squeezing out, Sora realized this was the floor he was on when he awoke in the infirmary.
"So… which door is it?" Asked Sora, looking at the familiar round doors with X's on them.
"Cyclops said it was the left door at the very end of the hall."
When they arrived at the door, it immediately opened, bringing Xavier and Jean into view.
"Ahh, good to see you two are well. As so know Kairi, I would like you to train in the Danger Room today, so would you please enter through that door?" Xavier asked, pointing to an electrical door over to the right. Jean walked over to Sora.
"Sora, I'm guessing that you had a tiny encounter with Phoenix today?"
Sora nodded with a 'how'd-you-know' look.
"I thought so, because I felt it… and I knew it wasn't me because the feeling was distant. But, I really think you should try not to provoke it, unless you're in the Danger Room where nobody can get hurt."
"But Jean, its so hard to keep from being angry, especially when that Riku asshole keeps bugging me."
"Riku is bothering you? Hmm, I'll have a talk with him. You need to remember though, that Phoenix is not only aggravated when you're angry, but also when you're stressed. So try to manage your schoolwork and don't let anything become too much for you. Now, we can continue our discussion some other time, I think its best you watch Kairi… the Professor is about to begin."
Jean and Sora walked to a large Plexiglas window with many controls in front of it, Xavier messing with a few of them. When Sora looked out the window, he saw a large, metallic room, Kairi standing there with a clueless expression on her face. Xavier then spoke over the loudspeaker.
"Now, Kairi. I am going to generate the room to your cafeteria at your old school, and the scene will play out just how it did on that day, the only exclusion will be Sora. When testing your ability, make sure to think about the person or thing you want to change into, picturing every last detail about them. I know that when Mystique takes the form of a mutant, she has no access to their powers, but I have no idea if it's the same with you, so try to turn into Rogue, Bobby, or Sora, since you know about their powers. That way, you can test to see if they work. My last suggestion is to try and take Mystique out first, since she is the biggest threat. Begin."
With that last word, Xavier pressed a button and the room changed into an exact replica of their old cafeteria. Everything looked how it did on that day.
Kairi stood in her same position for a few moments, her eyes closed as if she was concentrating. Finally, when the glass broke and Mystique jumped through the window, Kairi's petite form turned into Bobby Drake's. She… or… 'he' raised his arm. He kept it like that for at least six seconds, and when Mystique was about to reach him, ice crystals formed about his hand, and then shot at her, leaving gashes across her face. Her piercing yellow eyes glared and she smacked him, sending 'Bobby' into a wall. On impact, Bobby became Kairi again.
Kairi wobbly stood up, attempting to punch the bitch, but Toad leapt at her and she was again knocked to the ground.
"Shit Professor, can I go help her? Please?" Sora pleaded, worry about his face.
"Of course Sora, but I'll have you know we would never let her get beat up too badly."
The brunet nodded and rushed through the door, running towards the battle. He squinted his eyes at Toad a bit and he smashed into a cart of eating utensils. A punch was thrown at the blue-woman, and she stumbled back a bit, only to be punched again by Kairi. He smirked triumphantly, thinking they were winning, until Toad's long ass tongue wrapped around his neck and began choking him.
Kairi was trying to beat on Toad, but it apparently it wasn't fazing him. She took a last look at Sora, and transformed into Rogue, remembering what she said about absorbing powers, she touched her hand to his arm. His eyes widened and slowly his tongue began to retract. Kairi wasn't exactly sure what to do, because her tongue wasn't growing or anything. She opened her mouth to speak, but she then felt like she would puke, but when it came up, it wasn't vomit but a green acid that shot out at the amphibian and began to burn out his eyes.
While he was writhing on the floor, Rogue became Kairi and she helped the brunet up. The Professor's voice was again coming from the loudspeaker.
"Alright, that's enough for today."
The room went back to its original metallic form, taking the students and fake mutants with it. The two exited through the door, only to find a very pleased Jean Grey and Professor Xavier.
"You two were wonderful together, a great team! And you handled your abilities so well for not having much experience with them." Jean said, leaving the room.
"I agree, the two of you will most certainly be X-Men in the near future," he smiled, "I know it didn't seem like it, but you two were in there for about three hours, and curfew is in twenty minutes, so I suggest going to your dorms. Kairi, yours is the fifth door on the right in the female section, and Sora, yours is the seventh on the left in the male section."
Riku/Sora/Riku/Sora
They said their goodbyes and left each other at the cross of the dormitories.
Sora was actually quite relieved that each mutant received their own dorm room since he really wasn't one who liked to share.
He counted the doors on the left until reaching the seventh, then turned the golden knob.
The room actually was pretty nice. The walls were a royal blue with creamy white vertical strips running down the wall every few inches. In one corner there was a large wooden desk with a white swivel chair. On top of the desk were at least four textbooks, randomly colored notebooks, a pencil holder full of pencils, pens, and highlighters, a lamp, and finally a laptop. Against the opposite wall was a queen-sized bed with a pure white comforter, along with white sheets and five large royal blue pillows. There was also an extra blanket sitting at the end of the bed with royal blue color. A wooden nightstand was on the right of the bed; on top was a digital clock/alarm and a picture of his family, himself, Kairi, and her family all together. Against another corner was a giant oak wardrobe.
Sora was in awe… the room was nicer than the one he had at home! Well, this was his home now, but you get the picture.
He walked over to the wardrobe and opened the large doors, revealing his entire wardrobe from his home, along with a few other items. He checked out the newer ones and smiled. There was a leather jacket with a blue and violet phoenix on the back, and another similar one, the only difference was the phoenix was crimson and gold. He guessed these were from Jean. There were also a few drawers at the bottom of the wardrobe, which he opened to reveal all sorts of jewelry, all phoenix related. There were bracelets with phoenixes hanging from them, same colors of the phoenixes on the jackets, along with earrings, necklaces, and rings. Sure, they were a little girly, but he didn't care, he always wore stuff like that… not that he was a cross dresser, but he did wear jewelry, and these would show people who he was.
Sora made a mental note to thank Jean later.
After closing the doors, he sat down at the white chair and logged on to the laptop. He was pleased to see there was Internet access and logged on. Hmm… he already had a screen name named after him, and on his buddy list he saw a list of every mutant in the school. The ones that were online were indicated with an 'MO'. He didn't know what that meant, but the only people that were on were Kairi, Jubilee, and Kitty. Kairi instantly invited him to a chat room. He opened it, the list showing Kairi, Jubilee, and Kitty's names.
(A/N: By the way, the reason I am not having them use chatspeak is because I never use chatspeak… I absolutely hate it.)
Kairi: Hey buddy! Aren't the rooms awesome!
Sora: Pssht, yeah! Jean got me all this cool phoenix stuff.
Kairi: Really! You have to wear some tomorrow! I wanna see!
Sora: Heh, I will.
Jubliee: Hi hi Sora! Have you met Kitty?
Sora: Umm, no… hi Kitty. What's your power?
Kitty: I can walk through walls, but yours is so much cooler! Jubilee told me all about it.
Sora: Hehe, yeah, I guess its okay.
An MO then flashed by Riku's name much to Sora's dismay.
Sora: Uhh, sorry guys, I'm going to go. I don't want Riku to talk to me…
Kitty: Yeah… I don't blame you. So, see ya!
Jubilee: See ya kid!
Kairi: Bye bye Sora!
Sora signed off just as a message from Riku popped up.
That was close…Sora threw off his clothes, only clad in his boxers, and jumped into the bed.
Woah… this is really comfy.
He snuggled into the bed and fell asleep.
Riku/Sora/Riku/Sora
Sora awoke with a huge erection in his boxers.
I guess that's from the erotic dream about Riku…The spiky-haired boy rolled his eyes. He didn't have the energy to wank because he was so tired after the session yesterday in the Danger Room, so he just climbed out of bed and left the room, walking down the hall to the bathroom where he took a shower and brushed his teeth.
After he went back to his room, he threw on a pair of black jeans and a white t-shirt. He was going to wear one of his phoenix jackets, but according to his schedule he had no outside classes that day, so he decided to put on his blue-violet phoenix bracelet and a belt that hooked together with a blue-violet phoenix.
Sora checked himself out in the mirror, and his eyes widened when he noticed a thin ring of crimson around each of his sapphire irises.
Must be from Phoenix…?He laughed a little. The crimson was actually kinda cool… and the phoenix stuff looked really good on him.
With a few fluid movements, he was out the door with a notebook, his textbooks, and some writing utensils. The chestnut-haired boy began walking down the wall until he walked into a door that opened right in front of him.
"Fuck! That hurt!"
A blonde boy turned around, revealing that it was Tidus.
"Shit, sorry Sora! Whoa, what's with your eyes?"
"That's okay, and I'm guessing it's a 'gift' from Phoenix."
"Hmm… that's cool… and I like the bling."
Sora laughed.
"Me too, I think its from Jean. So what do you have first?"
"I have Algebra, but it's cool because Professor Frost just flirts with the older guys the whole period, so we get to do pretty much anything we want."
"Nice, I have it too."
The two walked down the hall, then down the stairs and around the corner until they reached Professor Frost's room. When they walked in, Sora noticed Professor Frost was really pretty, and was already lounging across a few desks chatting up some of the upper classmen. Tidus took a seat near the door, and Sora sat with him.
"So Sora, what was with all the mewling coming from your room last night?"
Sora choked.
"W-what?" He then remembered his dream. "O-oh... that must have been from my dream about Riku…"
Tidus groaned. "Okay, I didn't really want to know that… why do you like him so much anyway?"
"Because he's sexy as hell."
"Well, that's not really a very good reason to go out with someone."
"I know that, but its always physical first. But then once you get to know and learn about that person, that's when you actually start to like them for them… you have to get to know them first."
Tidus nodded. "I suppose that's true, but you already know what Riku is like, so why bother?"
"Because he might not really be like that. I bet he's super nice to Yuffie since they're friends right? So that obviously means that he isn't always such a jackass."
"I guess that's true."
Sora nodded.
(A/N: I am just going to skip to lunch because I am not in the mood to type out his morning classes right now. Lunch is where the plot takes off anyway.)
Riku/Sora/Riku/Sora
"Sora! That bracelet is really pretty! Bet it's from Jean?" jabbered Selphie.
He grinned. "Yeah, I got a ton of stuff, you should come see it all sometime."
"Don't wooooory! I plan to!"
Sora was finally eating again, not much mind you, but he was still eating. Kairi was practically shoving it down his throat.
"You have to keep yourself strong for the next session in the Danger Room!"
"I know, I know!" Giggled Sora, eyes traveling to the doorway. "Oh no, our favorite asshole and his bitch just walked in…"
The other three groaned.
"Just don't pay attention to him, he likes it when people stare at him, and if you do, he comes over and bitches." Mumbled Tidus.
So none of them looked at him, but he came over anyway.
"Well, if it isn't the rugrat and the rest of his wittle gang."
"Riku, can you please just go away?" pleaded Sora.
"Umm, no. I know you want to watch my ass as I walk away pansy, but you won't get that privilege just yet. So, how was your night anyway? I heard you mewling all the way into my room… where you wanking to thoughts about me?"
Sora flushed. "N-no! Like I would ever think about you! Now go away…"
Riku grinned and his eyes flashed white. At that moment, a window blew open and a gust rolled in, knocking Sora's and the other three's food all over him.
The silver-haired bishounen laughed manically, but was then thrown all the way across the long room into a wall, knocked unconscious. Kairi, Tidus, Selphie, Yuffie, and the rest of the cafeteria looked at him, gasping.
Sora was standing now; his fists clenched, so tight that his nails were cutting into his skin, blood dripping from the death grip. His face was contorted into one of pure anger, and the azure of his eyes could barely be seen, as there seemed to be fire clouding them.
"Sora! Calm the fuck down!" screamed Kairi.
But Sora couldn't hear her… her or anything else, Sora was gone. Phoenix was there now.
The huge wooden tables began to rise like feathers, some blew up and some were smashing into walls. One was flying at Yuffie, but she gave it a punch and it went flying into the wall. Kairi's form became that of a cat and she ran from the room. Tidus picked up a now unconscious Selphie and ran out of the room. Soon, there was nothing left in the cafeteria but a few unconscious (hopefully not dead) students, and Sora. The flames in his eyes began to deteriorate, and Sora didn't even have the chance to see his destruction before he fell to the ground.
TBC, RNR…
