Baconsux- thank you for reviewing. I do appreciate constructive criticism. I do have to admit… I didn't quite understand where I had gone wrong during some of the things you suggested… but I do appreciate it. Thanks for taking your time to read it. However, one thing I really am clueless about… you said I made Kairi into a bitch for no reason whatsoever…but I haven't actually introduced her yet. Rinoa is evil because she plays a great role in an evil position…but I have nicer plans for Kairi when I actually do bring her into it. You might want to read stories more carefully before reviewing…

Lady of the squirrels- I shall! Thanks!

Enjoy…and please review!

Riku's POV

I watched the principle from a distance. I watched Sora explain his family situation to him with avid hand gestures, his hair swayed from side to side. He was so fucking cute. I watched their conversation with mild interest. I saw him shake the principles hand. I felt the strangest feeling wash over me. I wanted that hand to be mine. I shook myself off and grinned at Sora when he gave me the thumbs up. That meant the principle had sympathized with his story. His mother was incredibly ill and undergoing treatment. Leon and Cloud had to stay with them for a while. A plan entirely of my own design, of course.

I smirked to myself and left them alone to discuss things. I didn't want to leave Sora on his own, but I had some errands to run. I waved to some of the nicer girls as I walked to my room. The others just looked me up and down. I hated it when girls thought they were all that.

I was just cleaning my room up a bit when I found an old library book. It was three days late. Shit. I ran to the old library, knowing that it was open, basically all the time. My ears pricked to the sound of raised voices. I nudged open the door and was thrown onto my ass.

"Ah, fuck..."

I noticed a girl beside me. She was quite little, with red hair and glasses. She was clutching a book to her chest and breathing heavily. "Are you ok?" shit Riku…you're such a dumbass… does she fucking look ok to you?

I held my hand out like a, cough gentlemen cough, and helped her up. I noticed tears glistening on her cheeks. She looked up at me like some sort of deer caught in headlights. I caught her scared gaze before she turned back to the three girls that stood behind her, hands on hips. I've met these girls before. They were the…top of the food chain if you will. The bullies.

"Hey, why don't you pick on someone your own size?"

The two beside the tallest laughed and the tallest dismissed them. They left without so much as a word. I guess it would be pushing it to ask for an apology. I turned back to the girl and put my hand on her shaky shoulder.

"Hey. You ok?"

Her voice was really quiet. It was a real job just trying to hear it. "Can… I hang …out with you…just for a bit?"

I nodded reassuringly at her. I'm pretty sure she and Sora would be good friends. I could get to know her too. At least, she wasn't trying to whip her clothes off and jump into my bed, like most of the girls did.

I took her back to the entrance hall where the teachers were trying to hold back loads of girls crowding at the front gate. I held onto Kairi's hand and pushed my way through them all. The seniors that had managed to get past the teachers were fawning all over these guys. I'd never seen them before, but I knew exactly who they were. Well, you would too, if you'd had to listen to Sora blabbing on about it whilst you were trying to write a music score.

The wave of girls parted as the principle stalked towards the visitors. I felt a tugging on my sleeve and looked across at Sora. I followed his gaze. Shit. I'm still hold of Kairi's hand!

I let go of her hand gently. I think Sora understood when he caught Kairi's gaze. He gave me a weak smile as he headed over to meet his brother and his lover. I watched him greet them, giving each other brief hugs before the teachers shooed everyone away. it was kinda like the thing the police do at a crime scene. The whole: come on…move along… nothing to see here kinda thing.

I looked down at a pair of neatly polished shoes. There was only one person I knew that polished their shoes until you could see your reflection in them. I was fucked if it was who I thought it was. I looked up. Shit. My dad gave me a look of suppressed thunder as I let go of Kairi's hand. He stormed off and I had to explain to Kairi. She just nodded like a scared rabbit. I treated her with one of my true warm smiles. That made her smile back.

I felt a familiar tugging on my sleeve and I looked down, my eyes clashing with Sora's.

"Hey… do you want to come up to their room and meet them?" I saw his eyes look warmly at Kairi. "You can come too. It's ok."

O0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o

You could really tell that Leon was a soldier. Even Cloud, aside from the hyperness that surrounded him. His cold, steel grey eyes seemed full of knowledge. Cloud's bright blue ones looked more inexperienced. Their clothes were awesome. Lots of leather, spiked accessories. I liked it. If I didn't have one fucker of a father, I'd live that life. I shook hands with them both. Strange, they both had the same vice like grip, like they both had to hold onto something.

"So… you're the music teacher's son?"

I looked up into the blonde's eyes. He was still smiling. Weird. "Yeah. I'm Riku. It's nice to meet you."

We talked like that for a while. The brunette was definitely not the talkative type. The blonde, however, could go on and on. Kairi seemed unsurprised at the fact that Sora was a guy. It didn't seem to bother her. She seemed to really open up in conversations we had. I felt, well, proud of her. I think things took a turn for the worse after that though.

"S-Sora?" she stuttered. We all watched as she pulled a letter out of her pocket. I watched Sora's face as he read it. He was cute. Aw, man. His jaw hit the floor as I snatched it away from him to read. My face was holding in suppressed laughter as my eyes took it in.

Dear Pupils Of Feria High School,

It is my duty to inform you that our new school term begins next week with photo day. We regret to inform pupils that this day occurs twice every year, and, is one of the most important occasions of the school year. Pupils are to be reminded of this day, and its importance to the school's well deserved reputation. All girls are therefore required to wear their hair in an appropriate style, to wear the traditional white shirt, black skirt, and ankle length socks. The use of makeup is not allowed. This uniform is compulsory.

The Principle,

J. Phillips.

I laughed and looked up at Sora. we all leered over him.

"Sora… you have to wear a skirt…"

He pouted. Fuck, which was cute. He narrowed his eyes at me. "so?"

His brother regarded him with a glance. "You're intelligent Sora. Why don't you figure out what comes after… so?"

I laughed harder; it was hard to talk as well. Cloud took care of that for me. "I think what Riku is trying to say is… as a girl… you are expected to have…nice legs…"

I saw his legs give way. He sat on the floor, where his pout remained. I bent down next to him, not knowing what to say. I smirked. Wait…this was perfect. I had the perfect plan!

"Sora"

He snapped at me. "What?" I smiled at him.

"I have a plan."

Ok. Please tell me whether you want me to thank you lovely reviewers at the beginning or at the end of the chapters, because it could annoy some people. Tell me what you think.

Any questions, suggestions and thoughts will be welcomed!

Please Review!
