Disclaimer: Once again, I don't own anything except the story idea.
A/N: Ok I decided to add the next chapter sooner than I thought I would. I was going to wait until I got at least 5 reviews but then the plot bunnies came and attacked me! I just had to write it down before they became rabid. I thank the two people who gave me reviews. It made me very happy so to those two I made you cookies! :D thanks again. I hope I'll get more reviews when I finish and post this chapter. On with the story!
Summary: Sora and his older brother Roxas' parents disappeared long ago. They've been searching ever since. As they go to a new town they make new friends but there seems to be something strange about some of them. They seem to be harboring a secret that might help them find their parents. However, they soon discover something about themselves they never knew; a power within themselves they never thought humanly possible.
Rated: T it might change in later chapters.
Pairings: I think you'll figure it out as the story continues so I won't say anything :P
Chapter 1
Sora POV
I set the last box down and looked around the new apartment Roxas and I bought.
"Sora, is that everything?" Roxas asked.
"Yeah. I just brought in the last box."
He smiled and nodded walking into the kitchen. When he left I looked at my silver chain necklace and sighed.
It had been ten years since our parents disappeared. After that day we had to go live with our grandparents. We were pretty happy and things were fine until 8 years after we moved in with them. It was a normal day until our grandfather passed away from a heart attack. Our grandmother was so depressed when he passed that she died soon after. We had no other family to help us so we have been living on our own for 2 years so far. Lucky for us they made good investments and had a lot of money that they left to us in their will. It was hard to live since we were too young to have any jobs so we had to be careful with how we used our money. Though now that Roxas is 16, he can finally get a part-time job.
"…ra…Sora!" I snapped out of my train of thought and looked at my brother.
"Sorry, what did you say?"
Roxas rolled his eyes and crossed his arms over his chest. "Honestly, do you ever listen to me?"
I scratched the back of my head and awkwardly laughed. He huffed and shook his head.
"I was trying to tell you that all we have to do is unpack and then we can go shopping for food while we look around town."
I nodded and reached for a box before Roxas stopped me.
"Tell you what. Why don't I unpack while you get the food. We'll get things done quicker."
"But you always unpack," I complained "Besides, we both need to get to know the area."
Roxas waved his hand dismissively. "Nah, its fine. You know how fast I unpack, and anyways I'll just get a map or something and memorize everything before you do even if you get a head start."
I pouted. I knew he was right but he didn't have to rub in the fact that he was a genius. He always has been and it makes it easy for him to enter any school he wants. Since I'm his brother they let me go to the school as well, but they don't pay much attention to me.
"Fine. I'll go. I should be back in an hour or so."
I took the apartment key and closed the door behind me making sure that I brought my wallet with me for the groceries. I walked to the elevator and pressed the down arrow, waiting patiently for it to sound when it arrived to my floor. As I stepped in, I pressed the button for the bottom floor and started to hum to the elevator music . When the doors opened I quickly stepped out and walked to the market. It took me a while to find, (Since I got lost) but after half an hour I was able to locate it. I looked around happily and began to think up the list of foods that I'd need to buy.
"Hey there. You're new here right?"
I turned around and behind me I saw three other teens that looked about my age. There were two boys and a girl. One boy had light blonde hair and brown eyes. The other boy was a chubby brunette with dark brown eyes. The girl had long brown hair that curled at the tips with sparkling green eyes.
"Yeah. My brother and I just moved in today."
The blonde boy smiled and extended his hand. "Well, it's nice to meet you. I'm Hayner and that's Pence and Olette ." He said pointing to his friends next to him. I smiled and shook his hand.
"I'm Sora. It's nice to meet you all too."
"Do you need help with something?" Olette asked kindly.
I shook my head. "It's alright. I was just exploring. I wanted to get familiar with this area as soon as possible." Olette nodded in understanding.
"Hey, if you just came here today then does that mean you'll be attending Twilight High?" Pence asked. (A/N: It was all I could think of. Not very creative though huh?)
"Yeah. My brother Roxas and I will be starting tomorrow."
Olette clasped her hands happily. "Ooh! Then that means we might have some classes with you and your brother!"
I smiled. "Well, you might have some classes with me, but I doubt you guys will have any with my brother."
"Why? What's the age difference?"
"Oh, the age difference is only a year but he's a genius so he skipped two grades. Unless you guys are in 12th grade then you won't have any classes with him."
They all looked at me with their mouths agape. "Whoa. He sounds really smart. I don't think I can talk to him without feeling intimidated." Pence said still in shock.
I laughed. "He may be smart but he's a really nice guy. Trust me, once you get to know him you won't even recall that he's a super genius. He almost never shows it."
Olette smiled. "I can't wait to meet your brother. How about we meet you at the front gate of the school? That way we can show you guys around. Try to come a bit early so we can give you a tour. School starts at 8:30 so you guys could come around 8."
"That's a great idea Olette! So what do you say Sora?" Hayner asked grinning broadly.
I thought about it for a moment and nodded. "Sounds like a great idea."
"Great we'll meet you at the front gate tomorrow." Hayner said. "Shoot. I gotta head home before my mom throws another fit for me being late."
Pence looked at his watch and sighed. "Same here. It was nice meeting you Sora. See you tomorrow."
I waved goodbye as Pence and Hayner took off with Olette right behind them. I continued to wave until they were out of sight.
I'd better get some food and head back before Roxas starts to worry. I thought to myself.
I looked around before choosing the foods I'd need. I handed the merchant the money and thanked him before leaving to go home. Since I knew where I was going this time it only took me about fifteen minutes. I took the elevator again, and as I got to the door I set down the bags of groceries and rummaged through my pockets for the keys. As I was about to open the door Roxas opened it for me and smiled.
"Welcome back Sora."
I smiled back and picked up the bags of food. "Thanks. How come you always seem to know when I'm at the door?"
"Brother telepathy." He said poking both our foreheads.
"Pft, Yeah right. Although that would be pretty useful."
I walked in the apartment to see everything unpacked with the boxes placed in a corner of the room. Aside from the boxes you would've never guessed that we just moved in.
"Wow. You seem to be getting faster at unpacking."
"Yeah." He peered over my shoulder and look inside the bags. "What did you plan to make for dinner? I'm starved!"
I looked at my watch and laughed. "It's only 6 and you're saying that you're hungry?"
He puffed out his cheeks and glared at me. "Hey! I unpacked a bunch of stuff so it used up a lot of my energy. Of course I would be hungry!"
I continued to laugh and walked into the kitchen and set down the food. "Fair enough. I'll make Angel hair pasta with pesto and grilled chicken."
Roxas set the table while he was waiting for the food to cook. When I finished I handed him his plate of food and sat down next to him.
"When do you plan to go job hunting, Roxas?"
"I'm going to start looking after school tomorrow. I thought about going today but we arrived late and shops and such normally close early on Sundays."
I nodded in agreement and we continued with our dinner, talking every now and then. When we finished Roxas took our plates and set them in the sink.
"I'll clean the dishes since you cooked. I suggest you get to bed early since we have school tomorrow."
"Oh, that reminds me. I met some people while I was exploring the market. They go to our school and offered to give us a tour."
"Alright. Then all the more reason to get to sleep early. I'll finish up here and go to bed myself."
I left the table and walked to my room. When we first bought the apartment, Roxas and I played rock, paper, scissors to see who would get to choose what room they wanted. I won so I obviously chose the larger room of the two. I happily stepped into my room grabbing a pair of boxers and my pajamas from my dresser and took a quick shower. Afterwards, I flopped onto my bed and sighed. Gripping the chain my father gave me ten years ago I whispered to myself,
"I promise, we'll find you mom, dad. Just wait for us."
I soon feel fast asleep, not knowing what lay ahead of me.
