Rabbits vs. Phoenix

Chapter one

Disclaimer: No, they don't belong to me, otherwise Axel would still be alive and together with Roxas. But I can dream, can't I?

He hated this. A new school, new people and still the most important promise he made, binding him.

"Please Roxas, be a good boy and don't get in trouble in school anymore. I don't want you to get hurt. You would grant me this last wish, right?

And don't worry, Cloud, your uncle is going to take care of you. Goodbye my most beloved son."

He struggled to hold the tears back, he wasn't going to cry. Not anymore.

"Students, today we have a new student in our class. Please get along and guide him. Come in and introduce yourself please."

He stepped inside and at once all eyes focused on him.

He coughed and changed his voice a bit. No one needed to know his real voice. It had brought much trouble to him before. He also wore big black glasses with brown non-prescription lenses to hide his amazing blue eyes. He didn't think they were amazing, he thought they were rather disturbing. But others told him otherwise. So he decided to hide them. Normally he looked rather decent, he thought, but now everyone had to think he was a nerd, a boring little guy.

"Hello. My name is Roxas Strife. Please take good care of me."

And leave me the fuck alone.

A voice in his head said. Yeah, that's what he wanted to say but he couldn't. That would get him in trouble, again.

The girls looked at him bored or giggling, because he looked like a total nerd.

The boys looked more relieved than anything. It would have been bad if he had been good-looking. Now they didn't need to see him as a rival.

"Now, where is a free seat? Oh there near the window, behind Axel. Axel, please stand up."

The teacher said and a guy with blazing red hair stood up and grinned at him.

"Hey, nice meeting you, Roxas. The name's Axel. Got it memorized? You'd better because I won't say it again."

Oh shut the fuck up you arrogant prick!

"Yeah, nice meeting you." Was his answer instead.

He sat down and talked next to nothing if he was asked something.

He kept to himself and over the next few days his classmates got the idea and left him alone. Well, most of them anyways. There were one or two annoying cockroaches who didn't get the idea, but he dealt with them.

He studied in the brakes and didn't waste his time on eating or drinking anything except swallowing a bottle of milk in one go. He still always changed his voice on purpose and hid behind his glasses. He became a loner and a good student as well. Everything went well, except that this was not him.

Of course that's not you, idiot! You would never do something like not eating at school or studying your ass of. If not for me you would have run amok already.

And so he continued living a good student life at daytime, not joining any clubs and going home right after school.

Nighttime was a whole other story.

Friday evening. After school.

As soon as he stepped into his house, he threw his bag into his room and called Sora, a friend he made a few nights ago when he was roaming through the city. Sora looked a lot like him, but he was more cheerful and always in high spirits.

"Hey Sax, what's up? You coming tonight?" A cheerful voice asked as soon as the phone was picked up.

Roxas grinned. Sax, or rather Saxor (Sorry for having no other good name ideas), that was him. Him at nighttime. He didn't have two personalities or something like this, he just hid his true self and let go at nighttime. He didn't wear glasses and used his normal voice. He really could be himself since he wasn't in school anymore.

"Yeah, I'm coming tonight. How many are we tonight? And has anyone challenged us?"

"No challenges and we are eight with you. Everyone you know is coming and we have two new people. Zexion and Kairi. They were both invited by Hayner, so I don't know them that well. We are holding the entrance ritual for them, if you're coming tonight. We are meeting at nine in the Northpark. It will be nice seeing you again, leader Sax."

He could hear the mirth in Sora's voice when he said that.

"Yeah. Is someone home at your place after that? If we don't have any challengers, why don't we…"

"Hell yeah! My parents are out of town for a week so it's no problem. You can even stay over if you want to."

"We'll see. This weekend maybe. See you tonight. Bye Sor."

He clicked the end button and grinned. He had found a great friend and was building up a great gang as well.

Black Phoenix. He smiled sad at that name. He was the one who came up with it and except himself and Sora no one had an idea what it meant, or they thought of things like immortality, winning every fight or something like that. Only Sora knew that there was more behind this name, but he didn't know what.

He didn't want to think about this now. He needed to relieve some stress.

He looked at his watch. 7:30pm. He had to leave in about an hour. He decided to take a long shower and get ready for the night. He spiked his hair to his usual spikes and took a slim Alice band to hold his fringe back. His glasses stayed home, instead he applied a thin line of eyeliner to accentuate his ocean eyes.

Instead of his boring school-uniform he chooses baggy jeans with a checkered belt with a skull belt buckle. The belt had several chains fixed to his right side and some crucifix hung at them. His shirt was a wife beater with V-neckline. It was black and also had several chains attached to it. The deep V-neckline was hold together with two crossing leather-strings, which had skulls at their end. To finish his outfit he slipped on a glove with cutted of fingers which had rivets on it.

Well now look at this sexy being we are now. What would your classmates say to this?

He looked downright gorgeous and absolutely cool. He admitted it to himself, he was good-looking, but too small.

He looked at his watch: 8.15 pm. He needed less time than he thought. He packed his things for the weekend and shut all windows and the door. His first station tonight was Sora's house.

Whoever knows how it came to Saxor gets a big hug from me and can wish for something=D

I'm looking forward to your ideas.
