Author's Note: Mostly inspired by my own insanity. This will mainly focus on Riku/Sora, Axel/Roxas, and Zexion/Demyx, but there's going to be some straight pairings, too. I've basically thrown the KH2 cast (and a couple added Final Fantasy characters) into a school during the summer quarter. This isn't one of my more serious fics, so. . .yeah, whatever.
Warnings: AU, some OOCness, a lot of age tweaking, introduction of several Final Fantasy character not originally in Kingdom Hearts, several pairings, some OCs to fill the classes (you are welcome to submit a character if you like), a lot of character harassment, fluff, much rape-age of the canon (hey, it's an AU, what do you expect?), several perverted comments, innuendo, we'll eventually see some molestation, and maybe some almost smut on a school desk with Zexion and Demyx. I think that covers it all.

Chapter One

If there was one thing Axel hated more than school, it was summer school. Or, to be specific, he hated attending summer school, sitting in a hot classroom on a ninety-seven degree day with no air-conditioning, being forced to wear long polyester pants as part of the mandatory uniform at Kaigen Academy. The one good thing about the summer uniform was the short sleeved white cotton shirt. Axel's shirt was unbuttoned, revealing the white undershirt he had on beneath it. It made him at least somewhat cool in the unbelievably boiling classroom.

Also, the sly glances from the tanned girl with the deep blue hair next to him that distinctly said "I am so plotting against you" were really beginning to unnerve him. There was seriously something wrong with the broad. The girl looked up at him and flashed him an all-too evil grin. Axel shuddered in his seat, despite the extreme temperature.

"Axel!" the teacher exclaimed. "Pay attention!"

Axel jumped slightly and looked up at his teacher. Xigbar, with his scars and eyepatch, seemed quite the formidable teacher, but was actually one of the most boring teachers at Kaigen Academy. His history lectures never seemed to end, even after the class was over with. The one thing about the teacher that was entertaining in the tiniest bit, though it was also rather disturbing, was that he would often sit at his desk looking over the lesson or papers and randomly take a sip from a coffee cup that every student knew was empty.

Once making sure that all of his students were paying attention, or at least jotting down notes on the War of Aurora in 1967, Xigbar turned around and continued writing out key points of the war on the chalk board. Axel yawned and snuck a look at what Kiaran was doing. The blue-haired girl's notebook page was filled with a bunch of scrambled up names. It looked as though she was figuring out anagrams of everyone's names. He noticed at the top, she had begun with Xigbar, getting Gabrix, Abgrix, and Rixbag before finally coming to the conclusion that the perfect anagram of the teacher's name was "Bigrax." Axel snickered.

"Axel!" Xigbar shouted. "If I have to tell you again, it's detention after school."

The red-head's eyes narrowed slightly, but he turned back to the chalkboard. Once Xigbar turned away again, he flipped the man off behind his back. He heard Kairi, behind him, tsk at him disapprovingly. He ignored her; he always ignored the teacher's pet. Giving a bored sigh, Axel picked up his pencil and began doodling absently in his notebook. A lot of the other students were doing the same thing. He knew that a handful of students were texting each other on their cellphones. Only Olette, Kairi, Hana, Riku, Selphie, and the newbie, Roxas, were actually paying attention to Xigbar's lecture.

Axel glanced over to Roxas. The blond had been here for only a few weeks. He and his twin sister, Naminé, had come to the school in the middle of the spring term, after coming to the islands to live with their cousin, Sora. The two of them, Sora and Roxas, looked rather similar when it came to facial features. Both had astonishing blue eyes and soft, round faces. The major differences between them were that Roxas was a bit taller and blond whereas Sora was a brunet. Also, Roxas seemed to be a lot quieter than Sora and far less hyper.

A tap on his right shoulder grabbed Axel's attention. He looked to his right and asked in a whisper what Hayner wanted. The blond boy passed him folded piece of paper and told him to pass it on to Kiaran. Axel nodded. He hid the paper in his lap as Xigbar turned around to explain the kind of weapons used in the War of Aurora. After a few minutes, the teacher turned back to the board and Axel silently set the paper on the blue-haired girl's desk next to him.

"You shouldn't be passing notes," Kairi whispered behind him.

"Bite me," Axel replied.

Axel could feel Kairi's blue eyes glaring at the back of his head. He brushed it off and continued doodling. He heard Kiaran unfold the paper that Hayner had asked him to pass to her and snicker quietly. She tapped the paper against Axel's arm and showed it to him. It was a drawing of Sora and Riku kissing with Kairi in the background. A speech bubble next to Kairi stated "ZOMG, Sora is, liek, so not gay!"

"Professor!" Kairi called, raising her hand. "Kiaran and Axel are passing notes!"

Xigbar turned around to look at the aforementioned students. Right as he did so, Kiaran held up her notebook, open to a page on which she had written "Xigbar equals Bigrax!" with a large black Sharpie. The teacher stared and sputtered at the notebook. Several pairs of eyes followed his gaze and saw the paper. After a couple moments of absolute silence, the classroom erupted into laughter.

"Ki-Kiaran!" Xigbar exclaimed, face red with anger. "Dete--"

Xigbar was cut off by the shrill sound of the bell ringing. Before he could punish the blue-haired girl with detention, she was out the door, heading towards the vending machine to get a drink before her next class. Kairi, along with the other juniors, remained in her seat, watching the older girl bounce off with a look of distaste on her face.

"I can see why she got kicked out of her old school," she muttered.

Annwn, a senior with pale blue hair who took the junior/senior history class, picked up her backpack with smile. "Oh, that's not why she got kicked out."

"Yeah," Annwn's friend, Hana said, stepping next to Annwn. "That's not the reason at all."

"Then, what reason was it?" Felix, a junior who sat behind Kairi, asked. "And how do you know?"

Hana and Annwn exchanged grins.

"She got caught in a threesome in the girl's locker room," Annwn said.

"And we know," Hana smiled. "Because we were the other two in the ménage-a-trois."

Kairi choked and looked away from the two seniors in embarrassment. Felix gave an amused little grin. Tidus, who sat next to Felix during History and switched to the next class with the other seniors, overheard the reason Annwn and Hana gave, looked at the two girls with interest.

"Hey," he said. "Next time, give me a call and I'll join in?"

Annwn gave him a kind smile. "We'd love to, darling. Unfortunately, you've got the wrong equipment."

Kairi choked again and turned bright scarlet. Axel, who was still putting his things in his backpack, burst into laughter. Tidus pouted, but laughed it off. He smiled at the girls.

"You know what?" he smirked. "You two are all right."

"You'd better get to class," Naminé said, walking up to Annwn and Hana. She smiled softly at them. "Excuse me."

Annwn and Hana moved to let the younger girl brush past them to her desk. Then, the two of them left the classroom, heading for the Sex Ed class they were signed up to take on Monday and Wednesday. It was the only class they really needed to take to graduate from high school. The credit system at Kaigen Academy was really messed up compared to the one at the high school they had attended on the mainland.

Axel came up behind the two girls. He tapped Hana on the shoulder to get the girl's attention.

"Was that true?" he asked. "About Kiaran?"

"What about me?" Kiaran asked, popping up out of nowhere with a bottle of paopu soda in hand.

"Did you really get kicked out of your old school for getting caught having a threesome with these two in the girl's locker room?"

Kiaran frowned at Annwn and Hana. "You guys really should stop telling lies."

"So, you weren't in a threesome with them?" Axel asked.

"Oh, I was," Kiaran said, grinning maniacally. "But we weren't in the locker room."

Axel questioned as to why he had even asked in the first place. Kiaran, Annwn, and Hana exchanged grins and burst into laughter. Axel sped up a bit to get away from the girls, telling himself to never ask them anything again.

"By the way," Annwn asked, calming down. "Where's room 203, anyways?"

"It's this way, I think," Hana replied, pointing down a corridor.

"I thought it was this way," Kiaran said, pointing to a different corridor.

"But the map says it's this way…"

"Hana, darling, maps are made to fuck you over," Annwn told her friend.

"But I asked that silver-haired kid for directions," Hana said. "He said it was this way."

Axel came to a halt and gave an exasperated sigh. Women.

"It's this way," he told them, pointing in the correct direction.

"Told you," Hana said.

"You're going to get it tonight if you don't keep in line, Calico," Kiaran said.

Hana giggled nervously at the use of her nickname, then followed Axel to the class. Kiaran and Annwn followed as well, smirking in unison at their friend. Kiaran opened the bottle of juice and took a swig. She choked, coughed and spit out the juice in a nearby water fountain. A look of disgust crossed her face.

"Never try the paopu soda," she said. "It's absolutely disgusting."

"You're just not used to it," a boy said, walking next to her. His silver hair hung loose over his shoulders, bangs almost covering his eyes.

"So, it's an acquired taste?" Annwn asked.

"So to speak," the boy grinned.

"I miss dragon fruit drinks," Kiaran pouted.

The boy laughed. "So, where are you headed?"

"Room 203 for Sex Ed," Annwn told him as Kiaran shrugged off the taste of the drink and chugged it down. "What about you?'

"Same," the boy replied. "It's a new teacher this year, so I guess we'll be in for a surprise."

"Perhaps for you," the pale haired girl said. "For us, every teacher's a new victim."

The boy raised a thin, silver eyebrow. "New here, then?"

"Completely."

"Then welcome to Kaigen Academy," the boy smiled. "Miss…?"

"Annwn," she replied, pulling back a strand of her light-blue hair. "And this is Kiaran. The girl with the red dye-job is Hana."

"She's mine, hands off," Kiaran snarled.

"She's safe from me, don't worry," the boy laughed. "I'm Riku, by the way."

"Nice to meet you," Annwn said.

"Ditto," Kiaran mumbled, drinking down the last of the soda.

"You really shouldn't chug that," Riku told her. "It's actually very caffeinated."

"Oh, don't worry about that," Annwn said. "She'll work off the high somehow."

"Hey, look," Kiaran giggled. "My hand's shaking already."

Sure enough, the girl's hand was trembling. The trembling got steadily worse as they walked down the hall to the classroom. By the time they actually got to the classroom, Kiaran's hand was shaking visibly from a distance and she was stuttering. The teacher, upon their arrival, raised a slender eyebrow at Kiaran, who laughed maniacally before finding a seat in the corner, behind Hana. The bell rang shortly after that and the teacher stood to take roll.

"Okay," the teacher said, standing up and pulling a strand of his hair back. "I'm Leon and I'll be teaching Sex Ed in place of your last teacher, who's on maternity leave this quarter." He paused as a snicker ran through the class. He cleared his throat. "When I call your name, answer with 'here.' Not 'yo,' 'wazzup' or any of that other shit. You're seniors in high school; act like it."

He ran through the class list, starting with Annwn and ending with Zexion. Only a handful of students were missing out of all of them. Leon checked off all the attending students, then grabbed a piece of chalk and began writing on the blackboard.

"Take out a piece of paper and pencil," he said. "Today's assignment is an easy one, so I expect everyone to do it and have it done before class is over. I want all of you to write a paragraph on what you know and what you think you need to learn from this class; nothing stupid like asking what the best position during sex is. That's not why you're here."

He wrote a few guidelines on the chalkboard. "Everyone get to work. Remember, this is what you know and you want to learn, not what your neighbor knows and wants. Every paper should be different."

One of the girls in the second row raised her hand. Leon looked at her, then to the seating chart he had thrown together as he took roll.

"Question, Yuffie?"

"I suspect you want us to paraphrase the things we know, instead of just writing out exactly what we already know?" the girl asked.

"That would be the easiest way for all of us, yes," Leon replied.

The girl nodded and began to write. Several of the other students were already writing; though many had to think a moment about what it was they already knew. Apparently a handful of students hadn't been paying much attention in the previous Sex Ed classes they had taken, seeing as it only took them a few minutes to finish the assignment and bring it up to the teacher. Several, on the other hand, took a bit longer.

"When you've finished the assignment," Leon said, as more and more papers were handed in. "I want you to open your books to page twenty-three and start reading about STDs until the bell rings."

Axel turned his paper in with a sigh. He was one of the few students who had never really paid much attention in class before, having actually skipped a few classes to hang out with Demyx in the park not far from the school. He wasn't really interested in learning about the consequences of sex. He was careful; he always made sure his partners were clean before having sex with them. And there wasn't much possibility of him getting anyone pregnant. He wasn't interest in women that way.

"Miss Kiaran, care to explain to me why it took you four pages to write two sentences?" he heard the teacher ask as he walked back to his seat.

It was the strangest class Axel had ever taken.

"So, how was the first day of the quarter?" Demyx asked.

"You would know if you hadn't skipped," Axel muttered, staring at the water from his spot on the ferry.

"Oh, come on, Axel!" the blond musician whined. "School's boring! And you're not top of the class, either, you know!"

"Please," the red-head rolled his eyes. "At least I go to school."

"Hey, I go to school," Demyx said, defensively. "Sometimes."

"Yeah, once a month."

"I go more than that," Demyx pouted.

"Whatever. . ."

Demyx crossed his arms over his chest in a huff. "You're mean, Axy."

Axel twitched and glared at his friend. "Don't call me that anymore."

There were a few moments of silence between the two friends. This was how they were. They had always had this kind of friendship; they got along at points and at other were on the verge of fighting. Even when they had been dating, they had been like this, albeit without the whole 'verge-of-fighting' thing.
"Hey, Axel?"

"What?" Axel asked, still staring at the water.

"Why did you break it off between us again?"

"You still hung up about that?" Axel turned to looked at Demyx. "It's been two weeks."

"Yeah," Demyx said. "But, it was so sudden and you never did give me a real reason."

Axel shook his head. "Dem, I'm sorry. We're great friends, but if we were more than that, it just doesn't work. Think of it this way; I'm a pyromaniac and you're a hydromaniac. Fire and water just don't mix. Got it memorized?"

"Yeah, okay," Demyx said, leaning against the railing and looking down at the water. Then he flashed Axel a grin. "But the combo sure makes for a steamy night."

Axel grinned back. "Right."

"Sure we can't get back together?"

The red-head thought about it for a few minutes. "Yeah. Sorry, but it just doesn't work."

"Okay," Demyx said. "Just thought I'd make sure before asking Zexion out."

"You're going to ask Zexion out?"

"Yeah, why not?" the blond asked. "He's hot, he's bi, and he's not dating anyone right now."

"He's also damned anti-social," Axel pointed out.

Demyx shrugged. "So what?"

Axel shook his head, perplexed. "Sometimes, I just don't get you."

"Likewise."

Axel sighed and returned his gaze to the waters below. He glanced at his watch, bored as all hell. There was still another twenty minutes before the ferry reached the main island, where several students at Kaigen Academy lived. Though the academy was on one of the smaller islands in the group that made up the Destiny Islands, only about half the student population actually lived on the same island. The rest all lived on the main island, Kalohi. One reason might be because Kalohi was where everything really was.

Clubs, malls, fancy restaurants, and the university were all on Kalohi, along with multiple apartment complexes, large businesses, and the main harbor with ships to the mainland. It was often referred to as the tourist island because of all the going-ons. Those used to city life preferred to live on Kalohi, rather than the more backwater smaller islands, Kilohana and Lanai. Where the smaller islands had dirt roads, quaint houses, and the occasional market, Kalohi was all concrete roads, highways, and condominiums.

"So," Demyx said, breaking the silence. "I've got a gig at the Blue Rhapsody this weekend. If you'd like, you can come."

"Usual time?" Axel asked. "Eight o'clock on Saturday, right?"

"Yeah."

"I'll be there," Axel said. "But you can't get upset if I don't give you sex for a job well done."

Demyx gave a playful pout. "You're not going to?"

"I might forget."

Silence came over the two of them again. A few moments passed. Demyx turned around and leaned backwards on the railing, waiting impatiently for the ferry to reach Kalohi. He noticed a blonde young girl come up to them. The girl smiled politely at Demyx, then gently tapped Axel's shoulder. The red-head turned around with a questioning look on his face. The girl gave another polite smile.

"Excuse me," she apologized. "You're in Xigbar's history class with my brother, aren't you?"

"Maybe," Axel replied. "Your brother have a name?"

"Roxas," the girl said. "He sits towards the front of the class."

"Oh, him. You must be Naminé, then, right?"

"That's right."

"Yeah, I'm in class with him," Axel said. "Why?"

"Well, neither of us caught what tonight's homework is," Naminé replied. "I couldn't remember anyone else in the class, but recognized you, so I thought I'd ask you if you knew what the homework was."

"There wasn't any homework in history," the red-head told her. "At least, not that I know of. He was too busy with another student to tell us about any homework."

"Oh," Naminé said. She bowed politely. "Well, thank you."

Axel waved it off. "No problem."

The blonde smiled politely and walked away. Axel's gaze followed her to where she joined her brother at a table. The other twin was reading a book, but looked up as his sister sat down with him. Axel watched as Naminé explained to Roxas that there wasn't any homework for history and saw Roxas nod, then return to his book. It occurred to him then that he had never actually heard Roxas say anything. Even during classes, he had never heard Roxas' voice.

Wonder what the problem is, he thought.

Axel shook off the thought. Why did he care whether or not Roxas spoke? It wasn't important to him. It was just a thought that passed momentarily in his mind. Besides, it wasn't as if Roxas was that interesting of a person. Aside from being new in town, there wasn't much else about him. So, why did he care? And why was he still having this conversation with himself?

He turned back to Demyx. "So, tell me. Got any new songs you'll be performing this weekend?"

"A couple," Demyx said. "I've got this new rendition of Livin' in Sin that I want to try out on the crowd. And here, tell me what you think of this one." The mohawked boy cleared his throat. "Stripped of life alone, in the midst of something that I want, to play with your evil inside. . ."

"Woah, woah, stop, Dem," Axel interrupted. "Those are lyrics from Awaken, by Disturbed."

Demyx paused and thought about it. "Ah. I thought they sounded familiar. . ."

Axel's palm met his forehead in a slap.

"So, I'll just scratch that from the list," Demyx mumbled. "Maybe I should go through the rest of my songs and make sure I don't make that mistake again."

"You do that," Axel said, looking again over at the table where Naminé and Roxas sat.

Demyx followed the red-head's gaze. "You think the new kid's hot, don't you?"

Axel looked at his friend in shock. "That scrawny guy? No way!"

A sly grin spread across Demyx's lips. "You do!"

"I do not!"

"I see that look in your eyes!" Demyx's voice took on a sing-song tone. "You like the new kid!"

"Demyx, if you don't knock that off, I'll hit you."

"Why deny it?" the mohawked teen asked, reaching up to play with one of the studs in his left ear. "I know you, Ax. Whenever you like someone, you get that weird look in your eyes."

"I'll give you weird eyes," Axel growled.

Demyx ignored him. "Axel likes the new kid! Axel likes the new kid! Axel likes—ow!"

Axel's fingers gripped the musician's hair tightly. "I don't like the new kid. Knock it off."

"Ow! Fine, Fine! Leggo!"

Axel released Demyx from his grip and turned back to face the ocean. He glanced to the west and saw that the ferry has just about reached the docks. He picked up his bag from the floor and swung it over his shoulder, waiting for the ferry to dock so he could get off. Right now, all he wanted was to get home and take a nap. He looked over to see Kairi standing near him with her back turned to him.

"Hey, Kairi," he said.

"What?" the girl asked, turning to face him.

"Your skirt's tucked into your panties," Axel told her. "Funny, I didn't take you for someone to like Hello Kitty."

The girl turned a brilliant shade of red and reached behind her to untuck her skirt. She huffed and turned away as Axel laughed at her.

"Insensitive jerk!" she muttered.

"Attention passengers," a voice came over the intercom. "We've reached the Kalohi docks. Please do not step off until the ferry comes to a complete stop at the dock. Thank you."

Axel wondered vaguely if someone had actually stepped off the ferry before it had docked before and that was why the disclaimer had to be repeated every day. He imagined someone doing so and couldn't help but snerk at the thought.

"Hey, Ax," Demyx said. "Could I snag a ride with you? I forgot to pick up bus fare this morning."

"How'd you get here, then?" Axel asked, pulling his car keys out of his bag.

"Dad dropped me off."

"Fine," Axel said. "You want me to drop you off at your place or what?"

"Actually, I need to stop by the music store and pick up my sitar," Demyx replied. "I had to get one of the strings replaced."

"All right. But first, want to get some coffee?"

"Sure," Demyx grinned. "I could use a double-shot expresso."

"Uh-huh."

The ferry docked and people began getting off in waves. Demyx followed Axel off the ferry, across the street and into the parking garage where Axel's black convertible waited. Axel ran a loving hand over the hood of the car before unlocking it and getting in. He let Demyx into the passenger side and started the engine, turning on the radio and putting the top down as he did so. Putting the car into reverse, Axel backed out of his parking spot and headed out of the parking garage.

Just before he turned out of the garage, a green Volkswagen cut him off. Axel slammed on the brakes and blasted his horn. He looked and recognized the driver.

"Hey, Marluxia!" he shouted. "Watch where you're going!"

"Sorry, Axel!" Marluxia called back. "I didn't see you!"

"Did you get your license out of a cereal box or what!" Axel grinned.

"Actually, it was a box of mac and cheese!"

Demyx snorted from his seat and then burst into laughter. Axel shook his head and let out a chuckle. He backed his car up just a bit, then followed Marluxia out of the garage. Marluxia was a fun guy, even if he did almost hit his car. He was pretty good-looking, too. Too bad he didn't seem to be interested in a relationship at the moment.

Not that Axel was looking for a relationship, either. Unlike Demyx, who didn't seem to care, he was busy trying to get through the summer quarter so he could graduate from Kaigen Academy. Yeah, he had that bad-boy look going for him, but he still did his homework and passed his classes. He wanted to get off the Destiny Islands and visit the mainland, perhaps Aurora; Marluxia had always been ranting about how much he had liked his home town. He didn't have time for a relationship.

Maybe by the end of summer, he'd have time.

Author's Note: Yeah, okay, so I'm one of the original characters in this. I'm just there to cause trouble, not chase after any of the guys. I'm more likely to chase after Olette. Admit it, she's hot. Annwn and Hana are a couple of my friends, but Annwn won't be chasing anyone either and Hana has a boyfriend, so yeah. No Axel/OC, Demyx/OC, Zexion/OC, etc, etc. Remember, I don't mind if you want to submit a name for a character; I could always use more students.

I've also created a role-play community based somewhat on this if anyone's interested in joining. There's a link to it in my profile.
