Chapter 12 - Curiosity Killed the Cat
"Sir, all the soldiers are ready!"
"Good work Tilden." A man with black hair smiled, "We attack tomorrow."
"Sir, yes sir!" The man quickly left the room.
The black haired man sighed and passed a hand through his disheveled hair and shook his head. He loved killing, but the feeling of tension was in the air. He sighed again and looked at his desk. His eyes strayed to the few pictures on his desk of his family. Well, technically it was his family. Not that he ever had time for them. They were a nuisance. Usually he would feel relaxed about killing people, but in the last few years he began to feel uneasy about attacking the training grounds. A man. One man was causing his worry. If he remembered his name correctly it was Raytra. Yes, it
was Raytra. Just because of one feeble man.
'I think it was his…brother.' Yes, he was quite sure it was.
"No need to worry," The man smiled. "It's not like he could beat me, General Ender."
-----------------
"Sky! Wake up!" Tidus roughly shook the sleeping boy.
Sora grunted and slowly opened his eyes. "What?"
"You missed the wake up call. Get up and move!" Tidus left his side and Sora dragged himself out of bed.
Sora didn't remember coming back to the room. He sighed and put on his uniform, grabbed Wakka's ringing laptop, and walked to the training room. The rest of the boys were already there arguing about random things. Wakka was fighting with the black haired kid named Peter, about guns. Tidus was with Zexion fighting about fighting. And Hayner was with Seifer, betting about how they would kick the other's butt with swords. Roxas was talking to Axel in a hushed tone.
All the boys looked up when they heard the laptop ringing. Axel chuckled. "Raytra send you a virus?"
Wakka stared at Sora with his mouth open. "Raytra is Riku!"
"Close your mouth Wakka, you'll catch flies," Sora snickered and walked over to Riku's office.
"If you're going in there, tell him to come out kid."
"Sure."
Sora knocked on Riku's door and waited for an answer, but it didn't come. The brunette slowly opened the door and peered in. Riku was sitting down with his head lying on the table, asleep.
'Wow, he's cute when he's asleep,' Sora sighed.
Ringringringring!
Sora panicked when the laptop began to blare again, but Riku just shifted positions. Sora sighed with relief and tiptoed to his side.
"Riku?" He whispered but the man remained dead to the world.
Sora shifted the loud laptop nervously to his other arm and tried again.
"Riku," His whispered loudly, but got the same response. He poked the sleeping male and growled. He sighed and gently shook the man.
"Mmh?" Riku grunted and opened one of his aqua eyes. When he saw Sora, he sat up so fast he fell out of his chair. Out in the training room, everyone grew quiet when a loud thump was heard and soon after a string of 'colorful' words.
Axel grinned. "Looks like Raytra had a long night."
In the room, Sora watched with embarrassment as Riku got into a sitting position.
"Sora?" Riku rubbed his throbbing head. "What are you doing!"
"S-Sorry sir, but I came to tell you that Axel wants to start training," Sora stuttered.
"What time is it?" Riku scowled.
"7:15," Sora said after looking at the clock on the wall.
Riku groaned and passed a hand through his silver hair. Sora offered him a hand and smiled. Riku gratefully took it and Sora pulled him up.
"TIM's fixed," Riku said as he handed the now silent TIM to Sora. "Just send the email to the other laptop and it will be cured."
"Thank you, Riku!" Sora smiled happily.
"No problem kid," Riku felt all warm inside when the boy smiled. "Come on."
Both walked out of the room and were greeted by a snicker. "Well, well, well. Look what the cat dragged in," Axel laughed as a flustered brunette and an untidy, silver haired male walked out of the room. "Busy night?"
"Shut it!"
"As you wish."
"Ok," Riku rubbed his temples. "I'm going to put numbers on teams so everything will be easier for us."
"You mean you," Axel smiled. Riku only glared at him.
The teams were numbered: Sora and Roxas being one, Hayner and Seifer; two, Tidus and Zexion; three, and Wakka and Peter; four.
"Ok, Sora, you and…what's your name?"
"Roxas."
"Hm. Ok, go to swords. I'm going to teach you how to fight better."
"Yes, Riku," Sora smiled which Riku copied.
"Attitude problem, you-"
"It's Seifer, sir," the said man corrected.
"Oh really," Riku looked away with a smug smile. "Too bad I don't care."
Seifer looked stunned as Riku told them to go to the obstacle course with team three. Team four was told to wait at the shooting range to be taught by Axel. Sora and Roxas walked over to the sword ring whom which Riku was about to follow.
"Riku," Axel said.
"Raytra," He corrected.
"Feh, that's so like you," Axel smirked. "You let a student call you by your first name but not your fellow commander."
"Your point?"
Axel had a sly smile. "You like him don't you?"
"He's a good student with a very promising future."
"Not that 'like', stupid. Like-like kind of 'like'."
Riku turned swiftly and glared at his friend. "Are you implying that I am trying to get in a relationship with one of my
students?" Riku's words dripped with venom.
"It seems like it," Axel grinned.
"You're nuts."
"Hey, he's a cute kid."
"Then why don't you ask him?" Riku said this roughly but inside him he was pleading that Axel wouldn't.
"Nah, I got my sites on someone else." Axel's eyes flicked to the blonde that was speaking to Sora.
Riku looked over and raised an eyebrow. "Roxas? The cold kid?"
"He's not as cold as he seems. Now, don't you have something better to do instead of bothering me?"
Riku sputtered, "You started it."
"No, you did."
Riku scowled and waved the other man off. Axel smirked and walked off. Kairi's plan was working.
A/N: Hehe, I wanted to continue it but I didn't want it to be longer than 1200. Don't ask me why, I just didn't want to. Review!
