A heartguard watch... Three stars bag... Master Earring... Shadow Anklet. All of these are very expensive because the school the brunette attended: Twilight High. It consists of rich kids from different families and they always bought expensive stuff. Deep blue cerulean eyes stared at those faces and his spiky brown hair just stayed in its atmosphere. He was neither rich nor poor. he prefers not standing up and have a normal quiet life here in the classroom. Homeroom was about to start so he just listened to the teacher and takes down notes. The minutes ticked by and first period was about over when someone screamed.
"Hey, Pence Shinugumi from 3-C has the black note from S4!" one student yelled and almost immediately, everyone left the classroom. The one called Pence has short brown hair wearing a bandana on its forehead, a bit fat as well was trying to run away. Unfortunately, the students caught him and screamed. The brunette just stay in the classroom and apparently, he didn't care. A girl came in and wondered what's going on. He immediately knew she was a transfer student judging from the looks of her face. She has long red hair, blue eyes and wore a smile.
"Can anybody tell me what's going on here? Aren't you going there?" she asked as her eyes stared at him. The brunette stood up and sighed.
"I'm Kairi Murakawa." she said, introducing herself.
"And I'm Sora Kusagiri." the brunette said as the two of them walked along the corridor of the school. To go back to the question she was asking why all the students left the classroom so suddenly. Sora decided to tell about them.
"Do you know about the S4?" Sora asked. Kairi shook her head in reply.
"S4 or Silver Four. They're consist of four rich guys from super rich families. Their parents paid them high tuition promising them free law. Also, they're the law enforcers of the school. If you done something bad or upset them, the person who caused it will receive a black note. Once they receive the black note, all the students will come after you." Sora replied as they arrived at the cafeteria hall. The students were clapping and chanting for the coming of S4. In an instant, the doors opened revealing four guys with the same color of their hair but different in height, clothing, and eye color.
"The guy on the left with long straight silver hair, wearing white. His name is Kuja Tribal. His parents owned the underground estate of Traverse Town. He was known as the womanizer and gay I might add. Next to him was a guy with long silver hair wearing black is Kadaj Tanaka. He's the heir of the multimillion movie production: Hollow Bastion Productions. He tends to pick up fistfights. From the right, the one with short silver hair and long bangs, his name is Zexion Xainen and he's the heir of the famous Moogle Pottery and Ceramics School. He's a quiet type of guy and doesn't speak much. Finally, the one with long silver layered downward spiky hair is Riku Tasogare. He's the heir of the Tasogare Financial Group which controls the financial banks of Twilight Town and Destiny Island." said Sora as the students push Pence, front and center.
"What did he do?" Kairi asked.
"Food Spillage. Pence spilled food on Riku's shirt yesterday." Sora replied and the S4 sat on their respective seats laid by the students. Then all of them threw rotten eggs at him then they made fun of him. Riku stood up and punched him until he was satisfied. All the students knew when it was over and when it did, they left the hall in time for lunch.
- - -
Lunch has arrived. Sora sat alone in the table and brought out his lunch box. He opened it immediately and his mouth began to water. Today's lunch was rice with chicken curry and chocolate cake for dessert. It pays off being the only heir to the royal family. Speaking of royal family, Sora has a secret. A secret no one knew in this school. In actuality, the brunette came from a royal family known as the Nightingale. His reason for coming here was to train, finish his mission, and to finish high school. Miraculously, he was able to keep it a secret for the past two years. Sora's dad died when he was little and his mom was the current ruler of Radiant Garden. His guardians, Leon and Cloud were on patrol, informing him if there's a creature of darkness known as the Heartless. There was also a young woman name Aerith who took care of Sora as well including the place he was living in: an apartment.
As he was about to eat his lunch, Sora saw Kairi and it seems that a few boys asked her to go out with them. She shoved them off and walked away. He waved his hand, indicating his location. As she placed her tray down, the brunette gave her a chocolate cake which suprise her.
"Is that mud pie?" Kairi asked and Sora mentally slapped himself. The brunette immediately knew she was rich because rich people never tasted homemade food.
"No, its chocolate cake. My caretaker made it." Sora replied.
The redhead wondered then she picked the dessert and took a bite from it. As she chew on the dessert, her eyes lightened a lot.
"It's delicious!" she commented.
"Really!" Sora said. "I'm glad."
They continued their lunch until the girls squealed and screamed that the S4 are coming here. This time, they were only three of them and just walked along as if they're gods. Kairi finished her lunch and was about to return her tray to the cafeteria when she accidentally slipped and spilled drinks on Riku's shoes. The crowd stared at her with 'oooh' and 'ahhh'.
"What did you do that for?" Riku growled at her.
"I'm sorry, I'll pay for it." she said but for him it wasn't enough so he shoved Kairi from the shoulder.
"Leave her alone! She didn't do it on purpose!" Sora yelled in defense. Riku stared at him then left. The brunette was really angry and couldn't believe he would be upset just because someone accidentally slipped and ruined his shoes. After he ate his lunch, Sora went to the fire escape to relieve his stress.
"UNBELIEVABLE!! THAT STUPID JERK! WHO DOES HE THINK HE IS!?"Sora shouted at the top of his lungs.
"Will you please stop shouting to relieve your stress." said a voice. The brunette turned around and saw someone sitting at the stairs reading a pocketbook. He stared at him and immediately, Sora recognized him. Short silver hair with long bangs. It's Zexion Xainen!
"Sorry." he said, apologizing to him.
"Geez and I thought I already found a quiet place to read." Zexion said and he left the fire escape.
Sora finally came home to his apartment not far from school. Aerith greeted him and Sora just waved his hand. They ate dinner together in silence and so she asked him about school. The brunette said the usual okay and asked her if Leon or Cloud called. She nodded so he sighed and thanked her for the dinner. Immediately, he dialled Leon's number on the cellphone.
"Leon, it's me... where are you?...Uh huh, okay, I'll be right there."
Immmediately, Sora left the apartment and went to meet Leon. For the past two years, he fought the Heartless, dark beings that devoured people's hearts and destroys all stock markets and technology. His melee and magic attacks improved dramatically in all these years. Finally, he arrived at the destination Leon told him" Sunset Hill. Sora raised his right hand and a weapon appeared shaped like a key. The weapon is called the Keyblade and its the only weapon that defeat the Heartless. As soon as Sora's weapon appeared, Shadow appeared, the basic of all Heartless. He slained them all so easily then Soldier appeared. This kind of Heartless was a bit stronger than Shadow so he was able to beat them. Finally, they're gone for now.
A man with seemingly short brown hair with a scar on his face came. He wore a smirk as soon as Sora destroyed the dark creatures.
"Good job, you can go." Leon said and Sora left.

The next morning, Sora arrived in school and went to his locker to get his stuff for class. When he opened it, there was a black note signed by S4 sticking to his locker. One student yelled his name telling everyone he got the black note. Little did he know that, Kairi was watching this then left. All of a sudden, two girls and one boy dragged the brunette to the Chemistry lab which is located at the fifth floor. They pinned him on the floor and to make sure he didn't try to escape, one girl used a stool chair. Another girl unbuttoned his polo and Sora tried to scream for help but the boy shut his mouth.
"Oi, Oi, would you pipe down? It's noisy!" said a familiar voice. Sora turned his head and saw Zexion reading a book, looking at the two girls and one boy. They stare for a moment then left with a huff for the girls and a grunt from the boy. He stood up and removed the steel chair then put it aside.
"Thanks for saving me." Sora said, breathing heavily.
"Don't be mistaken. I came here because the janitor was cleaning the fire escape." Zexion said.
Classes weren't normal anymore because ever since Sora got the black note, everyone were making his life in school miserable. For instance, during the classroom, while the teacher is lecturing everyone threw crumpled paper at him. At first, he ignored it but later it became frequent that he yelled at them. The teacher asked if there's a problem. Sora said no in embarrassment. Even when he walked the corridors, the students threw random objects at him. He tried to escape outside but they dumped rotten food at him which came at the trash can then poured water at him. Sora was never humiliated at his entire life.
Lunch time was worse. Sora tried to call Kairi but she stayed away from him. At least, she didn't get in trouble. As he was about to eat his lunch, a loud cheer erupted from the cafeteria yelling about S4. They arrived in a godly fashion that disgust him. Sora hated them a lot but decided to ignore them. The day was finally over and the brunette went to the accessory shop where he works part time with his childhood friend, Roxas and his boss, Marluxia who was a bit strange in their perspective and also gay. Both of them were nearly exactly alike except Roxas' hair was much shorter and a bit spiky while Sora's hair was a messy one. They were talking about what happened on Sora's school.
"Really? That was stupid." Roxas commented.
"Yeah, stupid Riku... thinks he's a god. Geez, how stupid can he get!" Sora said as he wiped the display case and sighed.
"You know, the more you hate, the more you love." said a voice which caught Sora and Roxas in surprise.
"Marluxia!" both teens said in unison. "You were eavesdropping on us!"
"Come now, it's natural when you're trying to find love. Like what happened during my--" he said to himself.
"There he goes again," Roxas sighed. "Blabbering love nonsense."
"younger days when I met this beautiful man. I hated him on the outside but on the inside, he's the mighty one who will sweep off my feet. " Marluxia said, dreamily.
"Whatever!" Sora said as he finished his work for today.
- - -
Another day has begun and everything went from bad to worse. Boys started teasing him while the girls laughed haughtily. Classes turned from normal to hell and the brunette wanted to use his magic to sent them on their knees but he can't because it will blow his cover. Even at lunch time, the entire student body teased him and pushed him down. Kairi just passed by and Sora just sighed. The day was getting worse but he knew that he has a few hours left before classes are officially over for today.
Sora went to the fire escape once more to relieve his stress but this time, he stared at the sky. Ever since he got the black note from S4, things weren't normal anymore and that includes doing his part time job plus his mission here.
"Why, Dad...?" the brunette whispered when he heard footsteps. His head turned and saw Zexion once again. As always, he was reading a pocketbook and didn't care much.
"I know you have problems." Zexion said and Sora stared at him.
"What do you know?" Sora grumbled. "You don't know anything."
"True, but just to let you know, I don't mind if you go there to relieve your stress just don't shout it out all the time."Zexion said and the bell rang.
Part time job at the accesory shop again and as usual, Roxas and Sora were talking about his day at school which is another hell for the brunette.
"So how was your day at school?" Roxas asked as he wiped the glass case.
"Awful." Sora replied.
"Eh, looks like Twilight High is too much for you." Roxas commented.
"You should be lucky!" said a voice which the two teens stared in surprise.
"Marluxia!" both teens said in unison.
"You should be lucky that your mother works hard for your education, Sora." he said. "Ah, it reminds me of that time--"
Roxas and Sora sighed once again and need not to bother their boss for anything. If he gets word from his guardians, maybe slaying some Heartless would help ease down the frustration and anger he had for today.
- - -
"Sora, we have sighted another Heartless. This time, it's in the alley." Leon said, talking to the brunette on the cellphone.
After his guardian contacted him, Sora went to the designated place and eliminated the Heartless as usual. He was in a bad mood because of what happened at school. As he continued to destroy them, one of them escaped and went to the outside. The brunette began to chase it as Leon threw a black coat at him. Sora quickly wore it and entered the streets.
At the limousine, Riku was about to go home when he saw someone with a strange weapon and a dark creature. He blinked for a second thinking it was his imagination. Kadaj wondered what's wrong with his friend but in the end, Riku saw nothing and dropped his friend off at his home. Few minutes later, the limousine arrived at a beautiful mansion where Kadaj left then a few blocks from here was the largest mansion that was never seen except for rich people.
"Welcome home, young master," said the maid. "Your father, Master Sephiroth has been waiting for you."
The maid led him to two large brown doors where the dining room is located. Inside was a man with flaming spiky red hair with green eyes, wearing a feral grin and wore a tuxedo. On his side was a man with long silver hair, light green eyes and wearing a business suit.
"Shouldn't you greet your son after not seeing him for a month?" Riku asked coldly, as he sat down and ate his dinner. He hated that man so much.
Sephiroth just smirked as he ate. "Axel, call the chef."
The one call Axel left on his master's side and few minutes later, the chef came, looking puzzled.
"You're dismissed!" Sephiroth said and the chef began to protest as the security guards dragged him out of the room.
"Axel, please find a new chef." he ordered and Axel nodded. Riku just ate his dinner in silence preferring not to say a word.
- - -
"I'm home!" Sora said as he entered the apartment, dropping his bag and removing his shoes. Aerith smiled as she finished cooking dinner and set it on the table.
"So Sora, how's life?" she asked as she ate her food.
"Stupid! I can't believe Mother would send me to this fuckin' school full of proud and rich bastards!" Sora growled in anger. "They think that middle/commoners are fucking crap!! I'm starting to hate this!"
"You do know she's doing it for you aside from your duties and keeping about the secret of your family." Aerith stated.
"What does she know? All she cares about is the duty! She has no idea how bad my life is since my dad died!! I wish she didn't send me to that school in the first place!" Sora said angrily, that he stormed off the table and shut the door to his room. Aerith sighed sadly as she cleaned it up.
"Maybe Sora would feel better if I made his favorite food. Besides, he can't resist," she said to herself. "Oh, I better start cooking then."
Preparing the ingredients, she began to chopped, slice, and fry the food for Sora to take it with him for lunch. She hummed happily as she added something inside the lunch box. A few hours have passed and the brunette slowly opened the door. To his surprise, Aerith is still 'up' making his lunch and not getting any sleep. Sighing, he closed the door and went back to sleep, preparing himself for the next worst day at school.
- - -
Morning has arrived and Sora wore his uniform. Grabbing his bag, he shut the door to his room and saw Aerith, waiting for him.
"Here's your lunch!" she said, smiling at him.
"Thanks!" Sora said, appreciatively.
"Take care!" Aerith said, smiling as the brunette left for school.
Time has passed real quickly and as usual, the students were teasing, mocking, threw random objects at him or anything that could make his life miserable. He didn't mind at all. In fact, he ignored and evaded them the whole class period. As Sora passed by, he saw Kairi on the opposite side. He was about to say hi to her but she ignored him. Sighing, he moved on.
Lunch time has finally arrived and Sora opened the lunch box wondering what Aerith cooked for him this time since she stayed up all night making it. To his delight, it was his favorite: A big bass (fish) with small prawns. He was about to eat it when the students began to chant the arrival of the S4. All three of them except Riku went to Sora's table. All of the students 'ohhh' and 'ahhh'.
"I heard that you're from the middle class group trying to blend in with the rich society," Riku said as he stared at Sora's lunch then all of a sudden, he grabbed the lunch box and threw it on the floor. "Don't give me that shit!"
Sora kneeled down, seeing Aerith's cooking has now ruined, stared at it. One thing on his mind though, he can take any kind of bullying: teasing, hitting, mocking, throwing objects and the sort but this time, the only thing that hates him most is looking down at people because of ther social status. The vanity of the rich society angered him even though he has more money than them but then again, no one is supposed to know anyway. He clenched his fists in anger as the students began to laughed at him. Zexion looked down at the second floor of the cafeteria seemingly interested on what would happen next. The brunette stood up and walked slowly to Riku, still clenching his fist in anger.
"YOU THING A MIDDLE CLASS COMMONER TRYING TO LIVE A LIFE WITHOUT THE SUPPORT OF THE PERSON'S PARENTS IS EASY!!"Sora yelled in anger, his voice was dripping poison and immediately, the laughing died. "YOU THINK THAT BEING RICH WILL GIVE YOU EVERYTHING?! BY BULLYING OTHER PEOPLE, WON'T YOU EVER BE SATISFIED?"
Everyone went silent for a while and then something unexpected happened.
"DON'T BE SO FULL OF IT!! YOU FUCKIN' BASTARD!!"Sora yelled angrily as he punched Riku on the face, very, very, very hard, literally. Riku could only stare at him. Kadaj and Kuja stared in shock, their mouths were wide open. Zexion, on the other hand smirked. For some reason, it reminds Riku of one time someone punched him bad. Anyway, regardless of this, it shocked the students as well.
"I won't run nor hide!! I declare war on the S4!" Sora declared. "No matter how many times I've been kicked, teased, or laugh, I won't run away."
And with that, Sora stood there and saw Zexion who smiled. The brunette just bowed him in courtesy then left the cafeteria. Now some students are afraid of him that they shoved off till Sora completely left the cafeteria.
- - -
Sora finally went home feeling happy that he went to his room hoping that school would be only the worse day of his life or so he thought. The next day, he said goodbye to Aerith and left the apartment. As he was on his way to school, three men dressed in black suits came. One grabbed his right, the other grabbed his left and the last one covered his mouth with a white handkerchief. He struggled for a while then his eyes began to droop slowly. The last thing he saw was Riku lowering his car window, staring at him.
