- A-Far-Off-Memory

~ chapter i ~

"I can't believe I let you talk me into this, Ax," Demyx muttered, crossing his arms.

The sentiment was echoed by several others: one, a petite red-haired girl in a soft pink summer dress. Another, a slight indigo-eyed boy with long silvery blue bangs that hung over one half of his face.

The third was a tall silver-haired teen with aqua-colored eyes. He looked bored, arms crossed over his muscular chest. "I could be doing better things right now, but no. I have to be drug along to some rickety old supposedly haunted house for the whole night…"

A shorter, spiky-haired brunet at his side laughed and poked his cheek, blue eyes sparkling. "Don't be so grumpy, Riku! It'll be fun, you'll see!" Sora exclaimed, his ever-present sunny grin serving to make Riku's mouth twitch the slightest bit in a smile.

Riku grabbed him around the waist, burying his face in his boyfriend's neck. "I guess it'll be fun as long as I have you," he murmured, nipping at the tanned flesh.

This caused Sora to laugh again, wrapping his arms around the taller teen's neck "I can think of lots of ways to make this fun," he whispered suggestively, pulling back to waggle his eyebrows.

Gagging noises were heard from beside them. "You two are disgusting," a teen who looked exactly like Sora, save for the black hair and gold eyes, muttered. "Get a room and stop subjecting us to this torture."

The brunet turned to face his brother and smirked. "You're just angry 'cause you're not getting any, Van."

Vanitas scoffed, puffing his chest out. "As if! I get plenty."

Zexion snorted, pushing his glasses up his nose. "From who? Righty or Lefty?"

This caused everyone to dissolve into snickers, while Vanitas simply hmph'ed and grabbed his bags, stomping out the door.

"That was mean, Zex," Naminé chided through her giggles. "You know he's been sensitive since Xion moved away."

Axel raised a hand to the smaller teen for a high-five. "That was great, Zexy! Never knew you had it in you!" he chortled.

"C'mon, let's just get going. You know how impatient he is," Ventus chuckled, lifting his bags and tossing another to his twin brother.

"Wouldn't wanna upset your loverboy, would we?" Roxas teased, catching his bag with a smirk.

Ven rolled his eyes and threw one of the two bags he held at Roxas. "Just for that, you're carrying our sleeping bags." He headed out the door, calling Vanitas' name.

The small redhead lifted her bags, picking at the hem of her dress. "I really don't like the idea of this, guys…"

"C'mon, Kai," Roxas said with a grin. "It's just one night! Then we'll all be legends at school!"

"Is it really worth it, though?" Demyx questioned, shifting nervously with his bag slung over his shoulder. "I mean…what if the stories are true?"

Zexion rolled his eyes. "That's not what I'm worried about. I'm more worried about the mold and diseases that are bound to be in that old, rickety place!"

Ignoring Zexion, Axel grabbed Demyx by the shoulders. "Dem, those stories are just made up so that kids stay away from the house—there's nothing in there. Just think about how awesome it'll be, to be the first people to ever make it through an entire night there! We'll be gods on Monday as far as the people at our school are concerned," he told the blond with a grin, giving his cheek a friendly pat. He then moved to pick up his bags, heading over to the door. "Listen, stay if you want, but I'm going. I'm not afraid of some old house."

"Me either!" Sora exclaimed, moving to stand beside Axel. They were joined immediately by Riku and Roxas, followed by a slightly hesitant Naminé.

Kairi, Zexion and Demyx all shared a look. They all seemed to be thinking the same thing.

Finally, Demyx grinned. "Ah, what the hell. YOLO, right?" He joined the others at the door, green eyes pleading with Zexion.

Zexion and Kairi finally sighed in defeat before making their way over, shuffling their feet. The group set out then, joined by Ven and Vanitas. The house was a twenty minute walk away, at least.

"So what exactly is it that people say about this place?" Naminé questioned, adjusting the strap of her bag on her shoulder.

Vanitas grinned, turning and walking backwards so that he could face her. "Legend has it that this old dude used to live there with his sons. They were in some kind of a cult or something, and they were pretty fucked up, I guess. They apparently used to pull in unsuspecting travelers and conduct crazy experiments on them. It was some pretty fucked up, weird shit, and they really messed with these people. It's said that, at night, you can still hear the screams of their victims and sometimes…you see their ghosts."

A few of the gathered teens visibly shivered. "But it's all just made-up stories, right?" Kairi asked nervously, worrying her bottom lip between her teeth.

Axel grinned widely, acid-green eyes alight with excitement. "Guess we'll find out."

Just gotta say this now, no bitching about gay people. I will cut you. You don't have to keep reading if you don't like it, so do me and yourself a favor by just leaving now. Hateful reviews will not be tolerated by me, mmkay? :) Just a warning, there aren't any straight couples in this story. Just throwing that out there.

ANYWAYS. So yeah, that was chapter numero uno! I have the next few chapters written, waiting to be typed up, and lucky for you all, it's my last day of school tomorrow :D so updates should come rather frequently for this story!

Please drop a review if you liked it! And keep the guesses coming as to who the person in the prologue was, I love hearing what you guys have to say ^_^ it's probably easier to guess now, since you've seen all the main characters haha.

Well, until next time, brochachos!
