Chapter III

Sora was in homeroom, and the bell had just rung. It was close to the beginning of the school year and it was fairly warm outside, so they would probably be going outside for P.E. that day, which was Sora's next hour.

Sora's homeroom class included a mottled mess of seventh and eighth graders. Sora was an eighth grader himself and often found it annoying to be in class with the younger kids, but it turned out to be in his favor that day.

Sora's school was a Channel One school, meaning every morning and study hall, if you had it, you would watch the news from a teen's point of view. Sora had to admit, some of the stuff they went over was interesting, but most was just boring. The best part was the Question of the Day, where a random question was asked with three or four answer choices. Everyone liked to shout out what the answer was, but that wasn't until the end of the program.

Sora yawned, not paying particular attention to what was happening on the television and was drifting off to sleep until he heard the word 'disappear' behind him. He woke up immediately.

A couple of seventh grade girls sat behind him, and they always were talking about something or another, but, for once, Sora listened.

"Disappeared?"

"Yeah! I mean, he was, like, there one minute, and gone the next! And I swear I heard a scream!" Sora imagined her shaking her head.

"No one's seen him since."

"God, I can't believe Tidus just disappeared…" Tidus! Sora thought. Tidus was Sora's only friend in his grade other than Kairi. That he disappeared… Unbelievable. And mysterious. Sora turned around, only to see Selphie, Tidus's girlfriend.

"What happened?" He asked.

"Oh, hi Sora," she said. Then, her head kind of drooped. "I really dunno. We were walking home after a date last night, and I looked away for a second, looked back, and he was gone. And," she waited for a second, probably for effect. She always did stuff like that. "And I swear I heard a scream."

Later, at P.E., they did end up going outside. P.E. was probably Sora's least favorite subject. Sure, some of the games were fun, but they always had to change clothes before class. Plus, they had tests over stupid sports like badminton and pickle ball, and they ran all class period every Thursday. (My school really does this, and it's stupid. Growls)

Unfortunately, it was Thursday, and they indeed had to run, but at least it was outside on the track.

The boys and girls each had a different teacher, so, while the boys had to run four laps(one mile), the girls had to run five, and in twenty minutes. Yeah, sucked for them, but Sora couldn't complain. Most of the other boys ran up to eight laps, anyway. (This is how it really is, too, but only when it's nice. Better than running inside, though!)

Sora was halfway through his second lap, watching the faster boys pass him up. A couple had take off their shirts at put them over their hair, but Sora could never figure out how that helped. Suddenly, the Keyblade appeared in Sora's hand. What the- He whirled around. There it was. The Heartless was like the ones he had first seen, not the knight that had attacked Riku. Without thinking, he cut it in half. Before long, more started coming. Sora heard someone shout, but he didn't pay attention. Someone screamed, but it wasn't in pain. Finally, a knight Heartless jumped out of a tree, trying to attack Sora from the side. Sora spun and jumped, meeting it in midair. He cut it right the first time. It started falling, in pieces, but erupted before it hit the ground. The Keyblade was gone before Sora landed. Turning, Sora saw that everyone had gathered to watch him, including both teachers. He just kind of smiled, then fell to his knees.

Sora woke up in the nurse's office, groaning as he lifted his head. He looked at himself, seeing that his regular clothes were on again. He looked around, the nurse had her back to him. She turned and smiled.

"Good, you're up. Your brother will be here any moment to take you home."

"Home?"

"Don't you remember?" She asked. "You fainted while running the track." Sora blinked, then remembered what had really happened.

"Y-yeah, I haven't been feeling real great all day," he said, looking at the ground. Now those things were coming at him in the daytime, at school no less. Not to mention Tidus's disappearance. He was sure that they were connected.

"Here he is now," the nurse said. Sora looked up. Standing in the doorway was a worried Riku.

"C'mon, Sora," he said. "We need to get you home." Sora got up, following Riku out the door. Neither said anything until they were a block away from the school.

"Sora, what happened? All the teachers told me was that-"

"Th-they attacked me, Riku. The Heartless. Here at school." Sora stopped, looking Riku in the eye. "It's getting worse. I, I think, I think they got Tidus." Riku's eyes widened.

"'Got'? Define 'got'."

"They caught him, Riku. They stole his heart, like they tried to do with me. These things aren't just a danger to you, me, and Kairi, Riku. They're dangerous for everyone, everywhere. We have to stop them. Somehow."

When they got home, both Riku and Sora knew something was wrong. They rushed inside. The whole place was crawling with Heartless. Sora, Keyblade in hand, ran up the stairs, Riku behind him, up to his room. Sora threw open the door. Instead of seeing his room, Sora saw a giant, swirling purple and black doorway, sucking in everything around him. Unable to resist the force, he and Riku were sucked in, too.

Several hours later, Kairi came by to see how Sora was doing. She noticed the door swinging open and walked in. The Heartless were gone. She walked up the stairs and along the hall, shouting out Riku and Sora's names. As she walked by the door to Sora's room, it burst open. A set of greenish hands reached out, grabbing Kairi's waist and pulled her, kicking and screaming, into the black and purple vortex. Seconds later, it dissolved, again showing Sora's room. The door, and the door to the house, still swung wide open. The Heartless were gone from that world, for now.

The next chapter begins Part Two!
