"Sora…my name is Sora…I hate you Vincent…" Sora growled at the man as he arrived at school the next day,

"I hate you too…" Vincent growled back, "Now get out of my car."

"Yes, Sir..." Sora opened the door and stepped out in his new black leather pants, white shirt, black leather jacket, and a new chain necklace with a fierce lion face on it around his neck, "Bye…Uncle Vincent!"

Vincent didn't reply as he just drove off the moment Sora shut the car door. Sora lets out a breath as he stared at the same high school he attended less than 20 years ago.

"This…might not be so bad," Sora said to himself as he took out black sunglasses and placed them over his eyes. Even if he had a cute face, his clothing style completely contrasted it so he should be taken pretty seriously for a new kid. He only proved his theory when he saw girls, and couple guys here and there, swoon as he as he passed by them.

Surprised that he still has a pretty good idea where the classes are, he found his first class pretty easily. Sitting himself in a desk, he took the sunglasses off and watched students file into the classroom. When he got himself comfortable, his phone went off.

"Hello?"

"Where are you?" Cloud sneered into the phone.

"I'm…OH!" Sora's hand went into his hair, "I'm soooo sorry!"

"You forgot didn't you? Do you even care at all?! As I recall, you wanted to get divorced pretty fast!"

"No! I…Work sent me away real fast. I'm sorry! It was too sudden!"

"……"

"Cloud?"

"…Why does your voice sound so…different?"

Sora covered his mouth before clearing it and tried to sound a bit deeper without making it sound fake,

"Um, I got a small cold. But I'm alright. I promise I'll be there at the next one if you reschedule! Please?"

"Fine…whatever…"

"Clo-" without even getting the name out, the man hung up on him. Sora groaned as he tucked his phone away. It was good timing too when he spotted Naminé walk in.

"Nami!" Sora waved cheerfully but Naminé only gave him a strange look before lightly waving back and ignoring him for the rest of class. Sora completely forgot that they're not supposed to know each other (yet) and tried to keep that thought in mind as he sat through his first class.

By lunch time, he was disappointed to find he only had that one class with Naminé so far. He wondered where Roxas was as he hasn't run into his son yet. He opened the bathroom door and checked himself in the mirror.

"Wow…halfway through the day and I'm doing pretty well…" he hasn't been teased or beaten up. Sure he did hear some people snickering about him behind his back; the word 'cute' coming up too often but that's about as bad as it got. The worst thing that happened was probably Naminé being completely wierded out by him but he'll fix that later. Sora was about to leave the bathroom until a voice spoke up.

"Um…can you help me…whoever's out there?"

Sora stopped and ran into the stall where he heard that voice.

"It can't be! It can't be!" Sora prayed as he slammed open the stall door.

"Roxas?!"

Before him was his son…being hung upside-down by one leg that someone somehow figured out how to tie to the ceiling (Sora assumed it was a very tall person though). Other ropes tied to his arms and waist were tied to the entire walls of the stall to help keep his body suspended with the boy's head in the toilet; only the hair in the water.

"Do I…know you?" Roxas asked, raising a brow.

"Oh! Um…I'm Le-SORA! Sora Valentine! I'm, uh, your Uncle Vincent's, uh, nephew! So he's my real uncle, hehe…I heard all about you and your family from Uncle Vincent! I'm new here!" Sora mentally cursed himself for sounding so stupid and rushing that sentence out.

"Oh…nice to meet you; I'd shake your hand but I'm upside-down…"

"Right! Hold on!" Sora looked at the situation before him, not quite sure how to get his son out of this without dropping his son's head completely in the toilet, "Who did this to you?" Sora asked as he tried to at least move the body but to no avail.

"The Struggles team…" Roxas muttered and Sora's mouth dropped,

"What?!"

"Yeah…they went all out today…sometimes I don't bother to spike my hair more than it already is because my head ends up in the toilet at least once a week...oh don't untie that first!"

Sora's hand quickly released the rope he was trying to untie.

"Once a week?! Do your parents know about this?!"

"Obviously not…" Sora thought to himself, wondering why he never noticed how low Roxas was on the school's food chain.

"Of course not…"

"Why not?!" Sora demanded only to receive a weirded-out look by Roxas, "I mean…why not? Shouldn't they?" Sora toned his voice down.

"I gotta learn how to stop talking like a parent! Remember Leon! You're NOT his father right now!"

"Well…it's a little hard to tell your parents that your sister's boyfriend is not only a popular student loved by 90 percent of the student body and leader of the school's Struggle's team but also the leader in the 'let's torture Roxas' team...OOMPH!" Gurgling sounds were made before Sora almost went into panic.

"Oh gosh I'm so sorry!"

Roxas head fell completely into the toilet and Sora had to quickly untie a couple more ropes before helping the boy's head out of the water. Roxas had to stay in an uncomfortable position until Sora completely untied him and helped Roxas sit upright before he used toilet paper to dry his hair.

"Okay if I heard right earlier: NAMINE HAS A BOYFRIEND?!"

"Yeah…" Roxas nodded, "Why? You were hoping to get her?"

"What? Oh! No! I was just…surprised! I mean…I haven't heard anything from Uncle Vincent!"

"Oh well everyone in my family knows about him except for my Otosan, Leon."

"What?" Sora nearly growled. Cloud kept this from him?! Cloud was OKAY with this?!

"Yeah, he's a popular guy. Manly, strong, handsome, and skilled. But a jerk to me just because I threatened that I'd beat him up if he hurts my sister…that was the one mistake that screwed my life over…" Roxas shook his head and sighed.

"You think you can point him out to me at lunch?" Sora asked, his fist tightening.

"Um, sure," Roxas shrugged and Sora helped him into a stand, "You know…I just realized how much we look like each other…"

"Oh! What a coincidence! Hahaha!" Sora tried to laugh it off, "I gotta tell Uncle Vincent about us! We're like long-lost brothers! Okay, let's go to lunch as soon as I finish drying your hair!"

"I'm fine, my hair is naturally spiky-"

"I'm drying your hair…" Sora growled, already forgetting he's not supposed to act like a parent, and Roxas just let the new kid do what he wanted; as by this point, Roxas was used to withdraw himself by that kind of tone.

The two boys that can be mistaken for twins entered the lunch room, Sora giving Roxas his leather jacket to borrow. Roxas helped Sora through buying lunch and they sat together. Between the bathroom to them sitting down, Roxas gave Sora the lowdown of the school. It wasn't until Roxas suddenly blushed and looked away that Sora finally asked a question.

"What's wrong?" he asked,

"N-Nothing…" Roxas shook his head and wished he had his own white jacket back since it had a hood; but Sora forcefully stuffed the wet outfit into Roxas's locker, saying the young blonde will 'catch a cold' and it's 'unsanitary.' The blonde lifted his hand to help hide his face even more. Sora only rolled his eyes and turned around to see a bunch of people in black leather walking into the cafeteria…

"Wow…I can probably fit in," Sora nodded his head as he watched the people in black with very bad boy(or girl) looks. The group suddenly stopped before Sora and Roxas's table.

"…You the new kid?" a tall spiky red-head asked.

"…Yeah," Sora replied bluntly,

"You have a pretty decent rep for only being here only half a day, your looks being the main gossip around here. Name's Axel! A-X-E-L! Got it Memorized?"

"...Yeah," Sora replied again with the same blunt face and voice.

"Look us up when you're free. We're Organization XIII," Axel was about to leave but he stopped himself and reached out to pull Roxas's chin so he could see him,

"Heya, Roxy, almost didn't recognize you in black leather," Axel greeted with a smirk, "You look good," he complimented before releasing Roxas and walked away, his group following him.

"Roxy?" Sora thought as he watched the strange group (with good fashion sense) leave. Roxas continued to stare at Axel and would've fallen out of his seat if Sora didn't reach over to pull the blonde back.

"Are you okay?"

"Y-Yeah…" Roxas slowly nodded and took in deep breaths.

"What the heck is Organization XIII? Do they recruit people in leather or something?"

"Of course not. It's just a coincidence that most of them like wearing it. But they're people no one messes with! They're like the bad boys of the schools. Or the bad girls. Those two girls, Larxene and Xion, are the most respected girls in the entire school. They're huge feminists, especially Larxene, and they certainly live up to it. Sure, they've been called bitches but-"

"Roxas! Don't use foul language!" Sora cut in and Roxas stared at the brunette in silence, "I mean…uh…sorry, I'm just not used to hearing it…go on!"

"Well you're gonna have to get used it at this school. So anyway: Yeah, they've been called that but they can live up to their reputation. Larxene especially is usually seen beating up a guy if she's not with Organization XIII. No one messes with Organization XIII! At all! The group is sort of infamous but also famous depending on the person I guess," Roxas tried to explain.

"That Axel guy…is he the leader? And is there actually 13 members in there?"

"Well…he's sort of the unofficial leader as being a senior and being part of the group since he was a freshman. And no, there are not actually thirteen members since seniors graduate and new members join every year."

"Interesting…so why the heck did you flush when Axel came over and touched you?"

Roxas blushed again and squirmed in his seat,

"I…no reason…"

"Oh my god…" Sora shook his head, "That guy is a senior! You're only 15!"

Roxas only shrugged,

"And you said so yourself that he's a bad boy! Why would you like someone like that?!"

"Axel's not that bad really…I mean, he's bad in school but as a person, he's pretty decent…" Roxas mumbled.

"How would you know this exactly?"

"Well…he actually helped me once…more than once actually…If he happens to be around, he stops the people bullying me. He hasn't poked fun of me and, well, he's just nice to me…something I don't get often from people…"

"Oh…" and Sora backed off from that topic, "I guess that's nice of him," he shrugged, trying to figure out how Roxas endured years of this kind of torture.

"Can I borrow this?" Roxas asked, pointing at the jacket,

"…Can't you get your own? And you just want it because Axel complimented you, right?"

"Oh, right…and yeah…Oh no…" Roxas's face went pale upon looking in the same direction Organization XIII came from.

"Oh what now?" Sora turned around to see what Roxas was afraid of. In came another group of students following a silver-haired young man, strolling along confidently while all eyes fell on him. Sora blinked and when the two met eye to eye, Sora unconsciously glared. Not sure why, but the man did give off a very familiar aura.

"Is he the one that-"

"Yeah!" Roxas nodded and quickly looked away, trying to hide his face the same way when Axel was over earlier, "Don't look! Don't look!"

Sora ignored Roxas's warning as he continued glaring until the group stopped next to their table.

"Roxas…I can't believe you got yourself out of that predicament we put you in. I was hoping to go through lunch without having a reason to gag afterwards!"

"…Who ARE you to be talking like that to him?" Sora stood up but realized the guy's got a full head over him; but that didn't shake him as Sora stood his ground.

"Sora! No!" Roxas hissed,

"…You're the new kid. It's Riku, remember it. Just because you're new, I'm letting you off the hook for now," Riku crossed his arms and stood threatening closer to Sora before suddenly turning to leave; but not without pulling Roxas by the jacket and pulled him hard enough so he fell out of his seat, sending roars of laughter to those that saw it. Sora quickly knelt down to help his son up and sat back into the seat.

"That jerk!" Sora formed a fist and was about to go after him but Roxas grabbed a hold of Sora.

"No! Don't start a fight! You'll be ganged up on!" Roxas warned.

"Yeah but…" Sora's mouth dropped at the sight before him. Riku was leaning down and planting a kiss on Naminé…his DAUGHTER! And that kiss was going a little too far than he wanted to see, "Okay that guy has JUST crossed the line…"

"No!" Roxas held onto Sora's arm but the blonde only found himself being dragged across the cafeteria floor until he let go and watched in fear as Sora approached Riku and without a word, punched the guy across the face.

"I'm here on your first day of school at lunch…why would you do something so STUPID?!" Vincent exclaimed when he was called to school about his nephew getting beaten up. Sora let out a sigh as he was holding an ice pack to his head a second time in the same week,

"Long story…" he somehow answered even though he was nearly choked to death less than 20 minutes ago. The huge black left eye didn't exactly help him see Vincent very well out of his one good right eye either.

"Yeah? I got the short version of it though. I saw the kid that beat you up and I saw his father on my in while they were on their way out."

"So?"

"I'm surprised that you never suspected why that kid looked familiar, if it did at all to you…That was Sephiroth's son!"

"…Who?" Sora questioned but he was more surprised that he made Vincent groan in frustration than the fact that that name sounds really familiar.

"You know! The guy that used to bully and beat up Cloud since elementary school? That is until you came along in Junior High school and he started beating up on you instead because you always defended Cloud?"

"…Oh…" Sora slowly nodded, remembering the man he shoved back into his memory, "...How the hell did that cold-hearted bastard make someone love him? And he did NOT always beat me up!"

"Sure he didn't…and I don't know but all I know is that fate really hates you. You got beaten up by Sephiroth when you were in junior high school but the man moved on to fry bigger people in high school (no joke intended), now your 15 again and back in high school only to get beaten up by Sephiroth's own son (who is also bigger than you)."

"Thanks man, I really needed that," Sora remarked sarcastically.

"You're welcome."

Notes:

-I can't believe I did that to Roxas! Poor guy!

-Did anybody expect Riku as the boyfriend? Technically, it was Riku Replica/Repliku but no one is gonna name their kid that so it just became Riku.

Please R and R!!!
