Chapter 1

The Start Over Point

"Bye-bye Sora!"

"Take care!"

"We'll miss you!"

"Don't forget to send us some letters."

"Just don't forget to remind me for that." The brunette said with a grin, earning a playful smack from Wakka followed by everyone's laughed.

That very day, Sora was ready to go to Twilight Town with his family and friends sending him off. He gave his parents a hug as he said, "I'm off, Mom… Dad…" His parents smiled and nodded at him. They know their house will be very quiet with their son departure, yet it's meant for his study so they can't help to be happy at the same time.

"I've already sent a letter to your uncle, your cousin should be there to pick you up."

"Okay, Dad." Sora nodded. His blue eyes blinked as he felt someone tucked his jacket. The brunette turned over to find his red head friend smiling at him.

"A present for you." Kairi handed him a small paper bag, a hint of baby blue wrapping tied with white ribbon inside it. "The others trust me to choose and I think this will be the best for present." She smiled-no correction, that's not a smile, the boy swear he saw her smirking! Yet in a blink, Kairi was giving him her sweetest smile. "Just be careful not to squeeze it." She said in a playful tone.

"Thanks." That's all Sora managed to say as he eyed his present with a soft expression. Then the cinnamon haired boy looked at his friends. "Everyone, I don't know how many thank you should I say for everything…" His friends just smiled at him.

"Just treat us something if we visit Twilight Town." Tidus teased him and everyone laughed again. If it wasn't for the train's , he wasn't sure whether they'll stop chatting.

Sora gave them all a good bye once more and stepped inside the train just on time because a moment after that the door's closed. The brunette waved at his family and friends, making sure he can't see them anymore from the window before he walked to look for a seat.

"I wonder what's inside." The brunette started to unwrapped his present in amusement. He tried to open it carefully, remembered the warning Kairi gave to him. His blue eyes widened in surprise as he finally see what's inside.

"That Kairi…" Sora grumbles as he got one hand to hid his madly blushing face. The other hand still hold at the 'present' she gave him. A star-shaped fruit could be seen from the inside of the wrapping paper with a message on top of it.

'Share it with Riku!' was written on it, below it, an art line picture of a smirking red haired girl holding a peace sign was placed.

"She really got her mind full of things to surprise and tease me.. " The brunette mumbled, wrapping the paopu fruit back before putting it inside the paper bag.

-----------------------------------

A spiky blond teen leaned against a pillar, his eyes never leave from the train station gate. He looked again to his clock and sighed. The person he was waiting for should be here anytime soon..

"Cloud!" He heard a chirped voice calling his name. Oh, well, speaking of the devil.

"Yo, Sora, how's your trip?" He greeted his younger cousin, quickly caught him when the spiky brunette almost tripped himself from running enthusiastically. "It seems that you still as clumsy as ever…"

"Am not!" Sora protested, only to be replied by a smirk. The boy quickly looked around, expecting another person who was definitely not there. "Where's Roxas?"

"He's probably hanging around with his friends. He also didn't know you'll come today." Cloud answered as he took the younger teen's baggage and started to make his way home. Sora quickly followed him, his mind still full of questions.

"He start to be active? That's good. He was usually quiet."

"Ng… there's one person who made him became like that…" Sora raised an eyebrow in question. "You'd better see it by yourself." Even though he was still curious, he decided it's better to do as his older cousin says.

"Hey, I thought you're still at Radiant Garden. Weren't you invited or something…"

"Oh, one of my classmate came from Radiant Garden, so he asked me to stay there for holiday. But I already back here a few days ago. I can't leave Roxas too long anyway." It made him got another questioning look from Sora, but they changed the topic again after the blond said, "The reason is the person who made Roxas talkative. Oh, we're here."

Sora turned his head from his cousin to see the older teen's house. Cloud shoved his key and with a sound of 'Click' the door opened. The brunette followed his cousin into the house.

"Your room will be beside Roxas' room. The one you used before, you still remember it right?" Sora nodded as his eyes looking around the living room. Everything's still the same as before. He still remembered when he came over one day, about seven years ago maybe, but then he asked to send home just a few days later because he missed Riku a lot. /Oh, yeah, I have to ask./

The younger teen tugged Cloud's shirt, making the emerald eyes looking at the brunette, who seemed hesitant to ask. "Um…"

"What is it, Sora?" The blond gave him a smile he rarely gave to the others to reassure him that it's okay to ask. He only smiled to his family or close friends anyway.

There was a brief silence before the spiky brunette finally got the words out of his lips. "What about Riku? You know where he live?"

Cloud frowned for a moment, trying to remember it hardly. "Riku… that silver haired one? The Riku from Destiny Island? The one you said was moving here two years ago?" He asked then, trying to get the most detailed information. Sora nodded so fast at that, making his cousin thought he could fly his own head away from the small neck.

"You know where he lives? Could you take me there, Cloud? Please?" His blue eyes were flicking with joy as he thought he would be able the person he missed most.

"Err… well, Sora, I was a freshman at Twilight High when he moved here. And when I was a somophore last year and I hardly get in touch with freshman…" The brunette's head hung down as he felt his hope to see his beloved person right away shattered into pieces, but then he lighted up when the older teen continued, "But Roxas might know something. You should asked him when he got home."

"Okay!" The young teen replied happily as hope raised again. "I'll place my things in the room then." He quickly ran upstairs, only to have his name called midway. He quickly blushed in embarrassment as he realized that his suitcase was still held by Cloud, who smiled in amusement at his cousin's antics.

-----------------------------------

The two of them were having a chat in the living room as they waited for the other family members to come home. Mr. and Mrs. Strife were out to work. Roxas was supposed to play with his gang, that's what the older blond told him.

Sora jumped in surprise when there's a sudden yell of "GO TO HELL!" and a the sound of the door slammed, followed by a 'WHAM'. Confused blue gems looking at his blond cousin-who was shaking his head helplessly as he already knew what it was all about- for explanation when another blond came into the room, a great irritation plain on his face. "Cloud! I can't take it anymore! Do something to that… SORA!" Annoyed face changed into the grateful one as blue met another blue.

"Hi Roxas, long time no see." The spiky brunette waved his hand as he let his cousin to hug him. They share some smiles and playful punches before the oldest teen shoved a plate of biscuits to them.

"So, I bet he chased you again?" Cloud asked his brother, making the young blond's face became grim again. Roxas munched the poor biscuit as hard as he could while his hand formed a fist. The brunette teen slowly moved away from his cousin as he felt it's dangerous to stay close to him.

"Yeah! That.. aargh! Just when will he cut it out! I'm sure he's.." Roxas' eyes laid on his innocent cousin as something came into his mind. "Hey.. I got an idea.." A smirk formed onto his face.

"I had a baaad feeling about this…" Sora said out loud and look at the older blond for help, who only shook his head in defeat as his brother ran upstairs. They knew, when Roxas got an idea, there's no way anyone could stop him.

-----------------------------------

A red head was groaning as he rubbed his nose. "Geez!" He just got rejected for a thousand time by a certain blond, who slammed the door mercilessly and got the older teen's face flat against it. But it's not Axel if he just gave up, that's why he was there, leaning against a wall in the corner as his favorite spot to wait the younger boy. He had vowed to himself that no matter what, he'll make Roxas to be his. The blond always playing hard to get, that made the fire-like-haired teen wanting him even more.

"So, we're doing it just like old days?" The red head perked his ear and took a peek at the door. He frowned as he tried to remember those voices, but no ideas came up into his mind. But surely it was so similar to…

"Yeah, take it easy, you know we can do it." Another one came, and he smirked as he knew that voice too well. With that, he walked silently and stopped beside the door.

A moment later, just as he thought, a blond teen younger than him walked out the door, only to have himself embraced by a pair of strong arms. The boy yelped and started to struggle, only making the red head thought he looks cuter.

"Aaw, Roxas..." He purred, brushing his cheek against the blond's hair. "I won't let you go this time…"

"Let me go you perv!" The older teen raised an eyebrow. Did his ears got bad? Roxas would never called him perv, he'll call him stupid jerk or bastard. Or is it.. he looked down at the still struggling boy and frowned. His beloved Roxas looks… different.

"Hey, you! Don't just stand there laughing! Help me!" The boy yelled as he pointed his index finger to the door's way. That's when Axel realized another teen, a spiky cinnamon-colored-haired one, who was laughing so hard that he had to clutched his stomach.

"Sorry… but I can't hold…" With that he busted into another laugh as he leaned against the wall for support. Axel look at the blond, then the brunette, and then to the blond again with a deeper frown.

"Who're you?" He asked the blond, making the younger boy stared at him with a pair of blue orbs.

"You can tell?" He asked, making the red head got even more confused. But he didn't get a chance to asked him because the boy was pulled into a protective hug by the strange brunette.

"Aw, well, it's failed just like five years ago." He said as he smiled and tighten his hug a little, only to get an innocent stare from the other boy.

"But it was Riku. So, this man also like Riku? Does that mean he…"

"No, don't say it. It's different. There's no way in hell he's serious about it."

"Then how he…"

"Would you mind telling me what's going on, Roxas?"

Two pairs of blue orbs looked at the older teen, but only one pair met with the piercing emerald eyes. "Oh, great. Well, you might be only having a better eyes than anyone." Finally the brunette pulled his hair-okay, that's a wig- revealing his spiky blond hair, even though it was not as spiky as his cousin or brother.

"But it's kinda like five years ago, but Riku didn't hug you that time." Sora said that in a teasing manner as he pulled off his own wig, making the blond glared at him. Just like five years ago, they were changing roles by exchanging outfit and wearing a wig. Actually, for this time, Roxas was hoping to see the red head's reaction when he knew that he was hugging and harassing a wrong person. But then, the fun ended because Axel found that out by himself before it even it began.

"Forget about it. Anyway, Sora, this is Axel, a weirdo." Roxas straightly said to his cousin, then he turned to Axel. "And Axel, this is my BELOVED cousin, Sora." The blond smirked as he saw the older male twitched at that. Sora just stared at his cousin in disbelief, it's his first time seeing the blond like this.

"Oh, well, Sora…right?" The red head spoke as he was exchanging glares with Roxas. "Nice to meet you and let me introduced myself. I'm Axel, Roxas' no.1 fan, stalker and soon to be master or lover. Got it memorized?" The brunette raised his eyebrow and widened his eyes a bit, as though asking 'Really?', only to make the older teen grinned wider. His look alike cousin groaned loud, taking his attention. The next thing the brunette knew, he was being dragged inside the house and seeing the blond slammed the door shut, followed by a 'WHAM'… again.

"You know, Roxas?" The 16-year old blond boy looked at his cousin, who was still staring at the door, from where a groaning sound could be heard. "I don't understand what's going on... Not a bit."

A/N: Well, feel free to expect some more silly Akuroku events since I'll be pleasurably make it -evil laughs, dodged a flying keyblade from a certain blond-

Er.. I didn't insert Riku here, you still have to wait -feels evil-
