Disclaimer- I do not own Sora, Riku, Kairi, Sora's mother (Still don't know her name), or anything that comes from the Kingdom Hearts Games. I do however own Saya she is MINE!
Warning-*mutters* this seems very redundant *normal voice* this is Yaoi, once more and if that bothers you I can't imagine why you are reading my third chapter.
Summery/Re-cap- Riku just got home, Sora and Kairi have been back for a month, the King is gone, Leon's gang is worried, and Saya hears voices in her head. In this chapter we have Riku's first day of school and side stories explaining what Sora and Kairi have been up too.
Author's Note-I apologize for this and for missing my deadline for Drawing Love I have sevenextra people in my house and 2 are under the age of ten and when they saw me writing they wanted to know what I was doing, so…..I got them to play Kingdom Hearts *manipulative laugh* Alright I am going to update this tomorrow or Monday as well as an apology.
AN2-I must introduce my plot bunnies the anorexic couple DL and DIRY. After becoming anorexic they decided to have babies and they are climbing all over me and won't stop eating. And since I got DIRY to eat something here you go.
Chapter Three-Rumors and Gold
Riku sighed he had spent an hour arguing with his mother about high school until she said that they could look into getting a private tutor instead if he went to school today. So here he was a black bag full of supplies trying to convince himself he could do this. A flicker of gold and a memory caught his attention.
Sora stood on one side of the door Riku stood on the other. The tall white doors were mostly closed but Sora was pushing on them with no progress. Riku stepped forward "Take care of her." and he and Sora pushed the doors shut sealing Riku inside. Riku turned around…FORGET.
"Hey you okay Riku?" Selphie was standing in front of Riku with hands on her hips. "Yeah just keep seeing parts of memories that make no sense and every time I start to understand she says forget." Selphie eyes widened a bit but she reached out and grabbed his wrist "Come on, I'll take you to the front office. Oh, and Riku?" she had halted waiting for him to respond. "What Selphie?" "Sora and Kairi remember nothing except that none of you get on well, so…I'm just saying that you, um, might ." Riku stared at her in confusion and annoyance. "Sorry, I said you might not want to tell anyone about the flashes of memories or they will never leave you alone. It's just that Kairi is one of the popular kids and Sora is on three of the school sports teams so everyone expects you to find somewhere to fall in. And most people think you'll do sports with Sora or kill yourself so just give them less of a reason to watch you. Ok?" Riku gave a small nod to her words.
He had English, Math, Science, and History before lunch. He sailed through his first three classes as answers for the homework and problems popped into his head, but history was more of a challenge for three reasons. 1)they had a sub, 2)said sub slept the entire class, 3)while reading the textbook to catch up he found himself correcting things in the margin. This war was started by this person, this really ended here, and he actually was a she, and so on and so forth. Then came lunch, the bane of all unpopular or new high schools students' existence. Riku had had history with Kairi and he found himself being dragged off to sit with her and her friends. Surprisingly when he pulled away she didn't seem upset just said softly "I don't remember why we were fighting and Sora does everything he can to stay away from me and when I asked he said it just felt like he was ripping his heart into pieces. And…..*sob* now y-you are pulling away. I thought maybe we could m-m-m-maybe pu-put all of this behind us. But Selphie said you could remember a few things… so maybe I should leave you and all of it alone." her shoulders shaking she turned and walked calmly towards the lunchroom. Riku went and spent the rest of his lunch period in the library trying to figure out the new-found knowledge about history.
He then had Psychology with Sora and Kairi. Kairi sat in the back with a few girls she was obviously close to. The teacher put him in the desk next to Sora.
*SORA'S POINT OF VIEW/POV*
Riku sat down next to me and I let a sigh of relief, I didn't realize how nervous I was that he would be put next to Kairi and her friends. When we first got back she lashed out at anyone. I would cringe and scream if you touched me. I had seen him yesterday. I could feel a small blush run up to settle onto to my cheeks as I remembered catching him as he passed out I had carried him up to his room his mother asked the others to leave and asked me to help him into bed and take off his shoes. He had looked so peaceful laying breathing shallowly. However as I had looked down at the scars and tattoos an anger I had never felt before fell on me. I felt like I had to go and kill whoever had caused him so much pain. His eyes turned and caught mine; he let out a small sigh and sat down. Then class started and I was so caught up taking notes I forgot he was next to me. But then a small girl dressed in black, the same coat that Riku had been wearing yesterday, and her gold hair made her appear even paler than she actually was. Riku let out a gasp and said, in what would be an unnoticeable level had the class still been working, Saya.
A little sad smile appeared on her face "Hey Riku." she turned her eyes to the teacher "Hi, um, as previously and very blatantly stated my name is Saya. I am just arriving, and for that you have my sincere apologies, I am going to be observing your class as part of my thesis for my doctorate." she looked around the room as if just noticing our shocked looks. Sigh. "As this is a fairly small town, I'm sure gossip spreads like the plague, so I might as well guide it a bit. I am 16 years old was privately tutored and am heir to a very large estate. I moved here with three friends who are being home schooled because unlike me they decided to not skip as many days as possible. So, yeah that's me in a nutshell. Now any questions, that have nothing to do with my personal life outside this room?"
I raised my hand, she let out a small sigh and pointed at me "How do you know-" BRING. The bell rang releasing us to our next class. A look of relief spread across her face.
I walked to my class which happened to be study hall. I checked in and left for the library. As I walked I let my mind wander back to entering school, the classes were very easy but gym was horrible, when I first got back if anyone touched me I would a panic attack that would last for half an hour. As such I was excused from gym, but that day everyone was treating me like glass, so when I saw the fencing materials. I grabbed one and spun it around pointing it at the teacher. The resulting fight lasted for a grand total of 2 minutes and 27 seconds; I scored 10:0, a new record. I was then subjected to all of the types of sports our school competed in. I ended up on the fencing, kendo, and basketball teams and alternates on all the others. I had to admit it did make school easier because everyone treated me like I was perfect and had no life outside sports. As I was contemplating my life since I came back, little did I know Kairi was doing the same thing.
*KAIRI"S POV*
I had lost it today when I was taking Riku to lunch, from the moment I saw him yesterday I wanted to take him in and protect him from anything that would make him cry. Although if I looked at it I had probably made him cry several times since we left, when we got back I would hit anyone who touched me I even put my brother in the hospital, because he had fought back, unlike my parents who felt like they deserved it. I was in Math and we had another sub and were watching some old movie. Then in psych when he was put next to Sora I wanted to get the teacher to change it so he was next to me. But from the way he stiffened when he sat down he would ask for it soon. I sighed, honestly the popular kids held out open arms and once I saw Sora join sports and be left alone I practically begged them to take me. I spent most days playing matchmaker, gossip keeper, and cold hearted bitch that turned down love confessions every day. It would be hard to keep Riku safe, but I would do it! Even if he hated me! And the first thing on my list was getting information from that new teacher/intern.
AN-I hate cliff-hangers but they are fun to write and I updated everything today WHOO! I feel accomplished and I have to thank my new beta for Drawing Love for that. The updates should come more often as long as have no more health/tech problems. Next time Saya will have answer some uncomfortable questions and Leon's gang decides to try public school, and Riku will find his shield. PLEASE REVIEW!
