Author's Note: After reading chapter three I realized that I'm not really happy with the middle. Like I said it was rushed, but if I have time I'll change it. At least it gave me my desired result, which was the restaurant scene. Anyways, here's chapter four! Hopefully, you'll like it! Thank you for your reviews and encouragement!
WARNING: If you're already in this chapter then you know there will be yaoi in the future and that it contains some out of character because it's an AU.

Sora's Thoughts.
Enigma
Chapter Four: The Beginning of Complications
"Before you go. I'd like to know your name." Leon's blue-gray eyes were looking at his own sky-blue orbs with so much intensity that Sora had to look away. So, they really don't know that it's me. And they made a fool of themselves trying to get my undivided attention. Heh, this will be fun...
"Kashino. My name is Aros Kashino." What kind of name is Aros!
"Aros?" Sepheroth asked thinking that it was such a weird name.
"Do you have a problem with my name?" Sora questioned him. His annoyance was clearly visible, but this time it's not because of Sepheroth. It's because of his incompetence when it comes to picking names.
"Well, it is very nice to meet you Aros..." Squall 's voice carried to his ear in such a sensual manner that he shivered. The reaction caused Gippal to scowl and Cloud's eyebrow to rise, clearly amused by the two brunette's actions. Riku on the other hand missed the whole thing for he was contemplating on something. He knew he heard that name before...from somewhere. Then, it hit him.
"Wait, what was your family name again?" The platinum blonde questioned.
"It's Kashino."
"Do you perhaps have a brother?"
"Yes, I do."
"Is his name Sora?" At that everyone froze except for Sora because well, this was part of his amazing plan that only the all-knowing and of course he know. Let's see if I'm a good actor. After this there is no turning back. Let the lies and half-truths role of my tongue.
"Yes, Why do you ask?" Hopefully, all goes well... at least tonight.
"You are that pauper's brother!" Gippal and Sepheroth exclaimed. They are clearly shocked. Gippal because he was hitting on Sora's 'brother' and Sepheroth because he was actually starting to like the waiter who happens to be Sora's older brother.
Take deep breaths and do not explode! "So, I see you know my brother from school. Did he do anything to you? Or is it the other way around?" Sora asked.
"We did nothing to that brat." Sepheroth said.
"Well, technically speaking we did not do anything to him." Gippal quipped.
Technically! Technically! That son of a... "Technically? What do you mean by that?" Sora asked with clear annoyance in his voice.
Gippal was trying to explain himself, "well, you see..."
"See what?" asked the enraged brunette.
"I ended up on the dirty floor because of your brother." Sepheroth sneered. That's where you belong! "He has no manners what so ever. He started saying hurtful words to me and didn't even give me a helping hand."
Because you don't deserve it! "I know my brother. He is quite friendly and if you didn't do anything to him or to any of his friends or acquaintances then, I believe he will not speak badly of you." Sora took a deep breath and then asked, "are you the E5?"
There was a pause and then Riku answered him. "Yes, we are. I take it he told you stories about us and complained about his tragic position in school."
The blue eyed beauty narrowed his eyes. Is he trying to say that I'm some kind of immature five year old that will tell his big brother to kick the ass of some bullies! I don't even have a brother! "Actually, he didn't."
"Then how did you know our group name?" It was Leon who asked the question.
"On Tuesday he came home smelling worse than a skunk. I forced him to tell me what happened." Answered the brunette while glaring fiery daggers at them.
There was another pause but it was longer than the last. "Thank you for dining in Final Destiny. Seeing as I am not needed anymore I have to serve our other customers. Excuse me gentlemen." His voice turned polite and so professional that the others internally flinched. And with that Sora left.
As usual a limo was waiting outside for the sons of the most influential people of Traverse. Needless to say, the four members of E5 were upset one way or another. Sepheroth was upset because he actually found Aros quite amusing, Gippal because he fell for the good looks of the brother of his current prey, Squall because this was just to complicated, and Riku because he felt like something was wrong about this Aros guy and it was annoying him to no end. As for Cloud, well, let's just say he didn't care either way.
"I can't believe that gorgeous guy is that twerp's brother!" Gippal exploded.
"They do look a lot alike." Sepheroth responded.
"I was going to put him under my spell and..."
"Under your spell? A spell that will cast you six feet under? Then, yes I whole-heartedly agree." Riku interrupted Gippal's sentence with a sarcastic remark.
"Humph. You're just jealous. He gave me more attention than he did you."
"Actually, I think he gave Squall more attention." Cloud said as he glanced at Squall, clearly amused. He hadn't had this much fun since...well, since Squall was trapped into that tricky love triangle a long time ago. Boredom never occurred, it was so amusing. Of course he worried about Squall's sanity since he was already lacking most of it, and he gave him very good advice. But that doesn't change the fact there was never a dull moment. Well, that story is for another day.
With a glare the brunette said, "stop talking nonsense Cloud."
"It isn't nonsense. I'm just stating the fact, and you shouldn't glare like that all the time you know. One of these days, your eyes might really have the ability to release a laser beam and the person you were looking at will turn into ashes." The blonde said with a tiny hint of sarcasm. The others chuckled to themselves.
"That's what I intend, for you to turn into ashes." Showing amusement, the lips of the brunette turned slightly upwards. If you didn't know Cloud and Leon very well, you would think they disliked each other, but that's not true at all. They just liked teasing one another from time to time, with a straight face no less.
"Anyhow, what are we supposed to do with Aros?" Asked Gippal.
Sepheroth's eyes lit up, but all at once it was gone. "Nothing at all. It's not like Aros did anything to me. Though it seems to me that two of my friends and my brother is quite taken with Aros..."
"Just because he has good looks doesn't mean I like him!" Riku exclaimed
"Methinks the lady doth protest too much." Interjected Cloud.
A name came out from Riku's gritted teeth, "Cloud..."
"As I was saying," a death glare from Sepheroth and then after a while a smile, "We can use Aros for our plan."
"Plan? What plan?" Gippal asked.
Smirking with so much confidence Sepheroth said, "The plan to drive Sora out of Yume Academy and then some."
Riku's eyes narrowed a bit but no one noticed. "If it doesn't work?" He asked.
"We'll worry about that later," responded Sepheroth.
The weekend passed by like the speed of light. Our heroine -HEY! - I mean our hero was anxious. The reason was still unknown to him. Could it be because he doesn't want to face the E5 again? Or is it because today will be the start of his glorious plan to take over the world? What in the world are you talking about! The narrator is crazed I tell you! I mean is it because today will be the start of his glorious plan to get back at the E5? It's probably a little of both. But still, Sora is somewhat nervous cause his inner being is thinking that he won't be able to pull this of. I can too! Stop interrupting me, if I get annoyed I'll make you suffer even more!... That was better.
As he got out of Auron's black car, Sora put on a brave face. His steps were light but sure and his ocean like eyes screamed 'don't mess with me!' The student body stared at him and whispers began. Sora glared flaming hot laser beams at each and every one of them. He grinned with triumph when they all flinched.
Once he reached his homeroom the noise level rose, but when he stared them down they simmered down. Sora was emitting a bad aura and everyone felt it. The blue-eyed boy was very angry because he didn't have much sleep. All he did all weekend was work, work, and more work. He had to do double shifts because he had to pay back Auron for the uniforms that were ruined. Auron didn't want him to pay him back but stubbornness runs in the Kashino family. Those uniforms cost a lot of money too. What a shame!
"Good morning ladies and gentlemen. Open your history books. Today we will start reading about the philosophers of the Enlightenment." Edea'a eyebrows rose. The air she was breathing seemed to be really thick. For some reason or another the whole class was very uneasy. Most glanced at Sora's direction as if afraid, and the teacher realized that Sora will start fighting back. And for that she was glad. She thought he will just sit there and take it, but it seems there was more than meets the eye when it comes to Sora Kashino.
Author's Note: I really have no excuse why my entry was late. I was just procrastinating. Sorry, about that. I'll try to make faster up-dates, but I cannot promise anything.
HELP! I would like to ask if there is someone out there willing to proofread my story. Because my grammar isn't perfect and I know there are mistakes in there. So, please if anyone is interested email me.
