Ai: Sorry that I took so long to post up a new chapter. . But that was because my mom locked up my computer room for DAYS so I couldn't type the chapter out. For some reason though, the door was unlocked today. So... XD

Disclaimer: I don't own Kingdom Hearts, because if I did, Roxas wouldn't have fused with Sora and they'd be friends! PHYSICALLY! Uh, anyone understand what I'm talking about here?

Axel sighed. "Whatever. Let's get back to the castle."

"Care to explain what you are doing here…?"

"Uhh, uhh," I stuttered. Looking at my brother, it was obvious that he had to idea how to respond to that either. Well, if that's the case, there was only one thing left to do. "SCATTERRRRRRRRRR!!" I yelled and we both dashed away in different directions. But that was okay. We would be able to find each other again with no difficulty.

"Hey! Stop right there!"

I snorted mentally. Really, people these days don't have a lot of common sense. If I stopped right there just because I was ordered to, then what would even be the point of running away? Jeez.

******

Like I said, my brother found me again easily enough. Giving each other a high-five, as if congratulating the other on having accomplished such a wonderful escape, we flopped down to the ground behind a wall where we would not be seen to discuss our circumstances.

We were in school. That's right, SCHOOL. S-C-H-O-O-L. And here I thought I would be rid of school forever the moment I became a Nobody. Not that the Superior had sent us to school or anything. I don't believe he had even thought of that. But, he most certainly hadn't considered the fact that sending us out on missions in the morning would make people suspect that we were playing truant from school.

-Flashback-

"Our mission is at Twilight Town, right. Okay, we're here!" Ray said. Due to the heat, we were wearing our regular clothes, and not our Organization cloak. "This should be easy enough." Following what Axel had taught us in our previous mission, we were starting to open a dark portal, when…

"Hey, you, kids! Yes, you two over there! What do you think you're doing?" A large and burly man called out from a few feet away. We swear he was not there just a few seconds before. "Do you know what time it is now? You should be in school!"

"WHAAA?! NO, NO, NO, you've got it all wrong! We weren't even sent to school!"

The man shook is head as he walked over. "Kids these days, talking back to others and playing truant from school as well. Did your parents even try to raise you properly? Your school isn't all that far from here. As a good citizen, I cannot just sit back and do nothing while I witness two young kids skipping school intentionally!" Grabbing our arms, he started to drag us to… SOMEWHERE!

"NOOOOOO!" My brother and I screamed together. We most certainly could use our abilities to get ourselves out of the sticky situation, but we were ordered not to show our abilities in public in case we drew too much attention to ourselves.

******

To our horror, we quickly found ourselves looking at the dreaded school. The man had most certainly brought us to school. To make things worse, he was telling a teacher who was at the school gate that we were skipping school.

LIES, LIIIIIIEEES!!!!!!!! I screamed mentally. WE'VE NEVER EVEN SEEN THIS FILTHY SCHOOL IN OUR ENTIRE LIVES!!! And it was the truth. Except the filthy part. That was an insult. The teacher thanked the foolish man for bringing us here and the man walked off, humming. I made a mental note to torture that man one day before burning down his entire house and letting him moan in the fiery pits of hell. We had bigger things to worry about first, though. The teacher towered over us, screeching about our lack of discipline and what-not. Then, she started picking on us for dying our hair at our young age. My eye twitched. Okay, okay, I admit that many people have doubted the fact that that was our natural hair color, what with the different colored streaks and all, so I can forgive that. But using that excuse to attempt to drag us off to the hair stylist to have it, quoted, 'dyed back to its original color!', was too much.

"THAT'S IT!" I yelled angrily. To hell with what the Superior said, that woman was gonna DIE! I was just about to unleash a great big fire in all its full glory on her with a Fire element when I was grabbed by the shoulders by Ray in a frantic attempt to restrain me. Now the foolish teacher was really miffed. Using what had just happened as a new excuse, she started to berate us heatedly on my lack of respect for others. I wondered if she was digging her own grave intentionally.

To my poor brother's relief, another teacher came along and decided to let us off the hook if we promised never to play truant ever again. To say that I was hostile to her would be quite the understatement, but how many times would I have to say it?! WE. WERE. NOT. SENT. TO. SCHOOL!!

We were taken to some strange class, which was weird, 'cuz since our names were obviously not on the name list, so they could not have known which class we were in. We managed to endure what was left of the lesson before we rushed out like two maniacs when the bell for Break rang. The first thing we did was to attempt to escape the crazy school. It would be to be expected. And that was how we found ourselves in that situation. The moment we reached the school gates, the mad teacher who had scolded us earlier suddenly popped out from nowhere, causing us to jump and stop in our tracks. I'll bet she was waiting for us to appear. Maybe she was paid to guard the school gate, and not to teach.

"You again?" she said menacingly.

Ray gulped hard. "Uh oh," I said, voicing his thoughts out aloud. He nodded. I didn't need to read his mind to know that that was what he was thinking. It was kinda obvious.

-End Flashback-

"I'll bet that teacher broke out from the mental institute."

"Don't all teachers?"

"Well, yeah." My brother groaned. "Great, now everyone's gonna wonder what's taking us so long to return to the castle. I hope they'll send someone out to search for us."

A light bulb flashed over my head. "And this is the part where I'm supposed to say 'Eureka!'. I've got a plan. We'll go to somewhere where no one can see us, then we'll get out of here using a…"

"Using a what?"

I banged my head against the wall by accident due to the shock of it all. It throbbed. I winced and tried to stop the world from spinning.

"Damnit, stop stalking us!!" Ray said, freaked out. He took hold of my wrist and began running at what could only be described as 'at the speed of light', pulling me along with him. Yep, definitely freaked out. Who wouldn't be if a teacher had been stalking you at school, as if hunting you down like prey?!

"Can't we just break the rule for once?" I asked the moment my headache had cleared up. "If not, we're never gonna get outta this mess."

"Let's just shake that teacher off first." Easier said than done, though. Even though the teacher was wearing high-heeled shoes, she was moving pretty easily. Maybe she did this everyday as a daily routine. I wouldn't put that bet away so soon. Ray let go off my wrist and we ran side by side as fast as we could possibly go, all the time thinking of a way to get out of the sorry excuse for a school we were effectively trapped in. Looking back occasionally to check whether that… that… FREAK was still there was perhaps more horrifying than anything else. Um, take a guess why.

"RAY-NII, THINK OF SOMETHING!"

"I'm thinking, I'm thinking!" My brother scratched his cheek, like how he always did when he was really, really deep in thought. Then he looked up and snapped his fingers. I heaved a sigh of relief. I knew that look. "Okay, Cal, I've got an idea. We're gonna hafta break a few rules, but if we can execute it perfectly, no one's gonna know what went on."

"Right-o!"

"I'm opening a dark portal right now, about a short distance from here. Start focusing your energy. When I give the command, you're gonna teleport us right in front of the portal, then we'll jump in. Got it?"

"Aye, aye, sir!" I closed my eyes, but kept running, trusting my brother to keep me running in a straight line.

"Soon… Okay, NOW!"

My eyes flew open, and we disappeared and reappeared in a completely new location. The dark portal was already ready and swirling in front of us. As if on cue, my brother and I dropped to the floor and used our hands to propel ourselves forward and into the portal. Shooting out of it and into a familiar large, white room, we performed a forward roll to end the stunt. Pulling ourselves to our feet, we sure were glad to be back in the Castle That Never Was.

"Oh yeah! We're finally free of that psycho!" I cheered, jumping and punching a fist into the air. My fist hit someone on the face. Big sweat drop. "Um, I didn't do anything. Right, that's it. Nothing happened."

"Is hitting me in one way or another part of your daily schedule?!"

"Heya there, Axel-senpai. Hey, look at it this way, at least no matter what I do to you now, I respect you enough to call you 'senpai'."

"Sis, I don't think that's it, man… A-Anyway, consider our mission a failure. Why wasn't anyone sent out to look for us? We were incredibly late, after all."

"I managed to convince everyone else that you guys would manage to come back somehow. It was lucky that they didn't ask how long I thought you guys would take to return."

I materialized a sword and stabbed at Axel, missing his head by inches. Yes, I missed on purpose. Stop asking. My eyes lit up with an evil glint. My brother… had a pistol. Well, whatever works for him.

"In other words, you were hoping we wouldn't return, right…?"

Axel barely escaped with his life by the time we were done with him. As a matter of fact, the only thing that stopped us from really killing him was because Xemnas came along and told us personally that if we DID kill Axel, he would personally turn us both into Dusks. Yikes.
