Chapter 1.2 : Nightmare and Kyo's Game Night

Nightmare stood with his back to the rest of the team, there was so different from him, and he was just so alone, so empty, they were all orphans here, but he more than anyone else had quite a few issues, and well he had so much darkness inside his heart. Did anyone understand him, that was the question he always asked himself. 'They are nothing like me…they think I have it all together everyone thinks that I'm all together…but no I'm not…' Nightmare walked towards his room without saying good night to everyone else. It was time for everyone to go to bed, and well as usually Night just kept to himself, and walked into the room he shared with Kyo. He hated Kyo more then any of them, Kyo was just way to annoying, and well he just wanted to be by himself again, even if there was no way, the teachers never bothered to let the students be by themselves. "Hey Night wanna play some games…We don't have to go to bed yet…Cloud said we could stay up until Sora comes home…after all Sora has something to show us…" Kyo was always trying to be friends with Night, but for some reason it just seemed that Night didn't want to be friends anymore. It was as if Night never wanted to be friends with anyone, and he was always by himself. 'It's like Night doesn't want any friends…or anyone around…' Night just turned and looked at Kyo, anger obvious in his eyes. "Will it amuse you if I do…cause I don't care…we can play some games I guess…but you won't mention this to anyone else…" With that Night shut the door behind Kyo, going to the closet full of games that was in the boy's rooms. 'Hm..I can't believe I am doing this…' Night sat down on the bed, waiting for Kyo to pick a game. "What should we play…apples to apples or anything…" Kyo put the games down on the bed, taking out the cards, as they began to play. The two kids tried to keep quite so no one else knew what they were doing.

Night sighed, and looked out the small window that was in between the two beds, Kyo had been sleeping next to Night lately because of how scared he was, but of course Night said nothing about it, what happened behind there door, stayed there. Unless one of the other people saw it or something. So the two of them stayed up late, playing games, and then they would fall asleep after putting the game away. Night always had a book under his pillow so he would read it until Kyo fell asleep. He never let anyone but Kyo this side of him, and well if they did, he had no idea what he would do. He just wanted to be able to always be himself, but he never really could, and no one knew that about him. For now he would enjoy playing games with Kyo. "Dude we should sneak into the kitchen just for the heck of it…" Kyo was always coming up with random ideas, that was just the way he was. "And what if we get caught…like we almost did last time you wanted to do that…" They had been sitting under the counter when Sora had slept walked into the kitchen, and opened the fridge. They tried to sneak out as Sora went to the sink, and moved some dishes around, but he threw a dish at them barely missing the two. And then Sora just walked back out of the kitchen with his cup of juice, leaving the two boys sitting there next to a plate. "Yea well that was still funny though….I wonder if Sora still does that…" The two boys took off there shoes, laying them on the floor next to there bed. They puts pillows and stuff on the bed, then wandered out of the room, no one would look in the room, cause everyone was usually asleep at this time. "Shh…"Night crept into the kitchen stopping by the fridge motioning for Kyo, who followed him as a light turned on in the hallway. It was someone using the bathroom probably, the two boys stayed still as soon as the light went out and a door shut. "Let's get some food and drinks and what not…" Night opened the fridge listening for any movement, when they heard nothing, they grabbed snacks and a few drinks. They froze as Sora, and what looked like Riku walked into the kitchen, they were talking, and as the voices got closer, Night closed the fridge.

"Well do you think they are really ready for this…" Sora sounded strained and slightly worried about something. He was stumbling a little bit, and Riku was helping him to the kitchen table, unaware that Night and Kyo were hidden in the shadows. "They are as ready as we can make them…Sora…now the rest is onto them…" Riku walked to one of the cupboards, pulling out a cup filling it with water. He had walked back over giving it to Sora. "I know that they are as ready as we can make them….but I mean…What if they die…or get hurt…I know we can't prevent them from getting hurt…but I really wish we could make them better…" Riku put his hand on Sora's shoulder sighing, there was just so much going on and yet he had to deal with it. They were going to have to train these students the best way they knew how. "Let's get up to bed Sora…"Riku helped Sora up to bed, leaving Night and Kyo standing in the kitchen. "what do you think they were talking about …" Kyo looked up at Night who was just standing there staring ahead as if he had just seen a ghost. "I don't know what they were talking about….but we should go before someone else finds us down here…"Night pulled Kyo back up to the room, they had the drinks and stuff with them, as they went and sat back down onto the bed. "So now let's eat up…and play a lot of games…" Night leaned back and thought about what they were saying. "Um okay…but do you think they were talking about a battle that we might have…" Kyo wondered looking at Night, he could tell that night was thinking about what had just happened, and what Sora and Riku had just said. "That is not for what we are supposed to know let's just enjoy what's left of the night that we actually have…" Night didn't want to talk about it, he just wanted to have some fun and enjoy some of the life that they were going to have to leave behind soon enough.

The boys spent the rest of the night playing games together until the morning hours, it was a lot of fun, but there was no real way for them to prepared for the battle that was coming. They didn't know why, but the two boys felt like they would have to save everyone. "Good night Kyo…" Night pulled the blanket over the two of them, turning off what little light they had left in the room before falling asleep. Unknown to them everything was about to change.
