A/N: Here's chapter 2 for you! Once again confusing story plot but please bear with me.
''...''- Present life

-4 Years Later-
'' ...And that my dear classmates, is why vampires are dirty vile creatures who should never exist on the face of the planet.'' The class applauded the young silverette as he climbed off stage and took his seat in the front row of the auditorium. While the class applauded there was one boy, who had blond semi-spiky hair and deep dark blue eyes, who seemed to have developed a permanent frown throughout the whole drama project that belonged to the silver haired guy. The blond boy brushed his bangs out of his face and turned his head to see his best friend still applauding like the rest of the class.
'' That was way too convincing. For a moment there I actually believed him.'' Roxas said while nudging his best friend in the ribs with his elbow. The brunette turned to his friend with a chuckle. '' That's cause it's drama class Roxy, It's SUPPOSE to be convincing. You nearly scared everybody to pieces when you tried to prove that vampires weren't threats to human-kind.'' Roxas groaned. NowSora chooses to be right about something? '' I mean when you walked up to me and nearly ripped my neck out I wanted to run away! It was just that convincing!'' Roxas smiled as he picked up the book Sora seemed to keep from him for nearly four years.
'' And am guessing this is where you get your vivid imagination of Twilight from? Yours was pretty good too you know.'' He picked up A Mid Twilight's Sky and scanned through the pages quickly. He told Sora that it was a keepsake from his older brother. It was a children's book that told different stories about how everybody was equal, no matter who they are. Though Roxas knew that there was more to those stories than the book actually let on. He noticed that a lot of the pages were booked marked and little notes were written at the top and bottom of the page. Sora blushed and snatched the book back. Although he finished the book 4 years ago Sora still decided to keep it from Roxas since he felt such a strong connection to it.
'' Something like that...I mean a majority of it is just my dreams or theories.'' Sora said while blushing and scratching the back of his head nervously. Sora wasn't really free to talk about all this with his other friends. Riku always told him that he should stop eating so much sugar before bed and he wouldn't have those dreams and everybody else just didn't believe him. Roxas was the only one who bothered to sit down and actually listen to him; he even put his own inputs into Sora's theories. Roxas looked up from Sora to see Riku walking up to them and his frown immediately returned to his face. Riku took a seat next to Sora, all the while smirking at Roxas. He turned his head in Sora's direction and a calming smile graced his handsome features. '' So Sora, how did you like my little report?'' Roxas immediately started to drown Sora out as he began to shower Riku with praises. If there was one thing Roxas disliked about Sora it was the way he drowned Riku with unneeded attention.
'' By the way Sor, what was your report on again? Twilight? What exactly is in that made up brain of yours besides sweets and video games?'' Riku poked Sora on the head and Sora puffed out his cheeks and blushed. '' I already told you Riku. A dozen times actually, and you passed them off as too much candy pass midnight! Remember?'' Riku looked thoughtful and shrugged his shoulders. He leaned forward in his seat to look at Roxas. '' So Roxas I see yours was about vampires also.'' Roxas nodded his head a little, really not wanting to converse with Riku. Every time him and Riku talked it always ended in an argument between the two and Sora absolutely hated when him and Riku fought. He always had to pick a side or else the other would be mad at him and Sora didn't enjoy having to have to pick between his two best friends. It wasn't like these arguments were normal either; they sometimes escalated to a fist fight though that only happened once in a blue moon. The first time it did happen was back when they were 13.
They both wanted to see who could comfort Sora when his brother wasn't home one day. Riku saying he would do it since he knew Sora longer, and Roxas saying he should do it since he doesn't judge Sora the way Riku does. Nobody honestly knew who threw the first punch but all they known was the next second Riku and Roxas were brawling on the park ground with Sora yelling and crying at them to stop. Between then and now a estimation of at least six fist fights erupted between Riku and Roxas, two happening at least every year.
'' Well if anything Roxas you really should have choose a more sane and careful mythical creature. Hell, I wouldn't even consider vampires mythical with the way they're portrayed.'' Roxas glare intensified as Riku leered at him. Sora, sensing the tension between the two, quickly rose to Roxas defence. '' Well Riku, vampires are classified as mythical creatures so we can't really judge Roxy on his choice.'' Riku scoffed at this and turned in his seat. '' More like mythical savages. What purpose do they have here within human minds anyway? If you ask me everybody should just pretend they never existed.'' Roxas clicked his tongue in annoyance and turned towards Sora.
'' If you ask me Sir. Know-it-all seems to have a weakness. Is poor little Wiku afraid of a little vampire and there little fangs? Last time I checked they never existed.'' Roxas snickered as Sora gave him a warning look. Riku glared at Roxas and clenched his fist. '' As if. And besides I never said I believed in Vampires, but the way you were describing them in your damn story surely had people convinced that you do. Isn't that a little childish.'' Roxas barked out a laugh and turned his whole body towards Riku. '' I usually believe in things until others have proof to disclose it. I mean you guys believe in your God with no proof right? I believe the same could go for me and vampires.''
The school bell rung and Riku jerked his book onto his shoulder. He glanced at Sora and walked out the auditorium. Roxas sighed and started to put his books away. '' I thought that prick would never leave.'' Sora pouted but started to grab his stuff also. '' Hey Sor?''
Sora, hearing the seriousness in his friend's voice, turned around to see him looking at him with a troubled look. '' Do you believe in vampires?''
Sora tapped his chin with his index finger in thought. '' Well...They always seemed way too fictional for me to believe in, you know with the daily blood sucking and what not, but you do raise a good point about the evidence thing.'' He turned to Roxas to see him way closer to his face than he'd actually like and jumped in surprise. '' R-Roxy when did you-?''
'' So you're saying you need...proof? Or are you simply just saying this to make me feel better?'' Sora gulped as Roxas eyed him, waiting for an answer. Sure Roxas was weird, and sometimes too overly friendly with him but Sora just passed it off as Roxas being, well Roxas. But something seemed off. Did he really want him to answer a silly question about vampires when they so clearly do not exist? And was Riku right about Roxas actually believing in them?
'' Um...Proof, I guess?'' Roxas grinned and moved from Sora's personal space. Sora sighed and glared at Roxas with a pout. '' Don't just interrogate me like that Roxy! It's rude and weird and made me all confused!'' Roxas giggled and grabbed his book bag from his chair and slung it over his shoulder signaling Sora to follow. Sora crossed his arms and pouted again. '' Roxy did you forget that I have art club after school today?'' The blond looked thoughtful for a second and gave Sora his own pout. '' But you just went on Monday! Do you really have to follow schedules? You're the leader they wouldn't mind if your gone a day or two.'' Sora sighed and started to push Roxas out of the audiotorium and into the school hallway. Roxas turned towards Sora with one final pout, trying to persuade him to walk him home. '' Roxy as cute as you are, the answer is still no. It's because I'm the club leader that I have to show up every Monday, Wednesday, and Friday.''
'' But-''
'' No but's Roxy. How about you find me some 'proof 'from your little vampire theory okay?'' Sora giggled as he turned back into the classroom to fetch his things. He failed to see the grin that suddenly appeared on the blonds face. '' So you really want your proof Sora? Are you sure you can handle it?'' Sora nodded his head, not really paying attention to Roxas as he looked for the rest of his things. '' Sure. If it means you would go home already.'' Roxas raised an eyebrow and giggled. '' Fine. You remember that when I bring you the proof Sora. See you later.'' And with that Roxas left with a playful grin on his face.
'This should be fun...'
-Our minds always speak the truth.-
'' Whoa, Sora you actually made captain! That's kinda of amazing considering how much of a slacker you are.'' A tall, lanky teen with flaming red spiky hair said as he poked Sora on his forehead. Sora rubbed at the spot and stuck his tongue out at him and turned away to see a whole crowd gathered inside the spacious room grabbing swords and other weapons. Sora turned back to the boy to see him grabbing his red coat off the coat rack. '' And am guessing you're going on a mission too? Is nobody available to help me celebrate me passing my final school year?''
The teen smiled and ruffled Sora's brown locks before giving him a apologetic smile. '' Sorry kiddo, duty calls. Besides where's your little genius of a boyfriend? I was actually expecting him to sweep you off your feet and take you on a romantic getaway by now.'' Sora sighed and sat down in the chair with a pout. Just bringing up his boyfriend's disappearance got him all depressed. '' I guess he's busy or something. I looked everywhere for him, and his brother said he hasn't seen him all day.''
'' Did you try telepathy?''
'' Judging how I barely passed that subject with a C- I think I would have fried my own brain from trying that. Besides he told me once I got out of class he would hang out with me.'' His friend just sighed and patted him on the shoulder. Sora looked up at him and the teen gave him a reassuring smile. '' Don't worry. He's probably planning a sweet, steamy evening for you two just as we-''
'' Sir I have urgent news!'' The teen looked at the boy and nodded his head to continue. '' Sir, We have just recovered an item that was said to have belonged to a friend of yours from the recent crime scene.'' Another person came in holding a black leather trench coat covered with multiple blood stains, with the roman numerals XIII on each of the shoulder blade in white. Sora quickly stood up and was about to reach for the coat until his friend stopped him. '' Sor, You know better than to touch crime scene evidence without gloves.'' Sora panicked and quickly looked from the coat to his friend. ''' There's no time for that! You and I both know that that's his coat! It even has his number on it! What crime scene are they talking about, where's Rox-''
'' Aoi-Senpai? Are you alright?'' Sora jerked his head forward as a female student shook him to get him out of his daydream. Sora apologized to the class and looked at the clock. 'Quarter past 7. I must be really out of it.' He rubbed his head and forced a smile as he faced the rest of the class. '' All right class. That's enough for today, I'll see you all on Wednesday!'' The class room was now filled with sounds of chairs scraping against the floor and teenage chatter. Sora winced at the noise that sounded ten times louder than usual and held his head.
When he closed his eyes pictures of people flew through his mind like an old movie, with a majority of the faces blurred out. He tried to focus his mind more but that just caused his headache to worsen. When he opened his eyes he saw the classroom empty and everything put back in order. ' Get a hold of yourself Sora' He kept knocking himself in the head as he repeated the same line over and over again like a mantra.
He walked outside and shivered from the cold and pulled his arms closer to himself. He started to pull on his jacket until he realized that the sleeves were at least a few inch's too long for him, plus he never brought a jacket with him, just a blue sweater. He held the jacket in front him and gasped.
Just like in his dream, it was a long black leather trench coat with the roman numerals XIII on its each of its shoulder blades. Sora started to turn the jacket inside out, looking to see if the blood stains were really there but he didn't find any.
'' Do you know how much of a pain it is to get blood stains out of leather Sor?'' Sora quickly turned around to see Roxas standing there with a smirk on his face. The brunette was about to run to his friend until he saw something off with Roxas. For one thing his eyes seemed sharper than before, plus they were a completely different color, a calming lavender color. He also seemed to have grown a few inch's and the biggest change was probably the pretty impressive fangs he was baring at him.
'' So Sor...Is this proof enough?''
