A/N: So last time was pretty much just a crash course on everyone's history, so sorry that it was just a lot of filler. With this chapter we start to see the real action of this story come through! I don't want to give away much, so I hope you enjoy this and leave some reviews! Thanks!

Part VI: The Adventure Begins

"That wasn't what I was expecting," we walk away from the empty Courtyard. It's so strange how there's no one here anymore, I don't think any of the professors are still here either.

"I don't think that was what she was either." Roxas kind of chuckles.

"Well that's just the first day. We've got four more years ahead of us," Ven joins in on Roxas' laughter.

"Yeah, and real classes start tomorrow too..." Van scoffs.

"Wow, one day, and you already hate school," Tobi smiles.

"You weren't too excited about it earlier this morning, Tobi," he scowls at me.

"I was nervous, I didn't hate it. And aren't you my brother, you're supposed to back me up on these things!"

"I'm your younger brother, so...no!"

"TWIN...brother, we're supposed to get along and agree on everything!" Ugh...I'm not going to win this argument, am I?

"I still don't," a huge smile spreads across my face.

"Come on now boys." I think Naminé is still laughing. Our laughing slowly ends as we get on the Link back to the Town. As the only ones on the train, we have a silent ride back. Outside the window, the lights of Twilight Falls zip passed. Kairi's leaned her head against me, and I'm really sleepy for some reason. I guess it's just one of those days.

The train comes to a slow halt. I don't like how it gets dark so early now. We lived here for some of the summer, but it's only 7 o'clock. Granted it would still be light out if we didn't stop for dinner before, but still. We step out on to the platform where there are a few more people, but not many. There isn't a lot going on tonight, so it makes sense.

"It's kind of nice think that we're going to do something like this. No Unversed or Heartless or Nobodies, just college with my best friends," Ven's the first one on the steps.

"Yeah, I'm just glad I've got you guys to go through it with..." What? Something just moved...

"Sora? Is everything okay?" I turn back to look at my brother and the others.

"Uh...yeah...I just thought I saw something...move," I check again just to be sure, " I guess it was nothing." We keep going up the staircase; it must have been my imagination.

"Night Ven! See you tomorrow!" We all shout as we walk down the hill back toward our apartments. We stop at Kairi's and Naminé's first. Here we say our brief goodbyes, each capped with a quick kiss. Then we take the short walk back up the hill toward our apartment.

"Are you sure there wasn't anything back in the Station? I swear I saw something." We get in the elevator to our apartment. The others look around at each other, but none of them seem to have noticed anything.

"I didn't see anything..." at least Tobi looks like he's trying to really think about it, "but that doesn't mean there wasn't something...remember back at the Pyramid." Ah...that right, fighting Heartless in the middle of Pyramid hall, good brother bonding time, if we'd known we were related then.

"Yeah, maybe it was trying to hide and you were the only one who saw it." Roxas unlocks our door and wave of warm air rushes out of the living room.

"Or maybe I was just seeing things." I shrug off my backpack as I sit in front of the TV. Tobi lands beside me, while Roxas crosses his legs as he sits in front of us. Van tosses his bag in his room before plops into "his" chair in the living room. For the most part we don't move for a few hours. Roxas and Tobi have us watch the news for a little bit, not much interesting happened today. Then we sit around for another hour and a half watching some new shows that started tonight, I'm not impressed.

"Alright, goodnight, guys." Roxas cracks his back before wandering to our room.

"I'm going to bed too. G'Night!" Tobi offers a small wave. Van gives me a kind of salute thing as he follows behind his roommate. I guess I should go to bed too. With a long yawn, I head back to our room. Roxas is still awake when I walk in; I think he's reading a book.

"You ready for tomorrow?" He doesn't even look up from his book.

"Yeah, got that Mood Music class in the morning and then drawing with Naminé in the afternoon."

"Pretty easy day? I think that is everyone's first class, except for Kairi who has that fun 8 am," Roxas chuckles a bit before he puts down his book.

"Hopefully. Thursday, I have that Keyblade history class with you guys and then modern lit with Naminé and Ven after that. They're back to back, so I'm done at 11:30."

"Cool. Well, I'm going to bed, so goodnight." He turns off his table's light and slides under his covers.

"Night!" With a click our room goes dark.

Only a minute more...come on Roxas...okay...there's the alarm, wake up Roxas. He's getting up.

"Morning Roxas!" My pillow flies through the air, smacking him in the face, "Ha! Take that!" I manage to duck just as the pillow comes back.

"I'll get you for that later," he swings his legs out from under the covers.

"Sure you will. You going to take a shower first?"

"Yep...I'll be quick."

"Don't rush; we've got until 9 before we have to leave."

Roxas and I join Tobi and Van in the living room about twenty minutes before we have to leave. None of us really say much as we eat breakfast, which for me is cereal. We meet Ven and Naminé at the station since Kairi is already at the campus.

"You guys ready for this?" Ven asks as we start down toward the Link.

"Yep, how many classes do you have today?" I readjust my backpack's straps.

" I've got the one today and three tomorrow," Ven replies with his head down, but he perks right back up.

"I've got three today and one tomorrow, " Naminé smiles.

"Same," Van answers without much emotion.

"Two and two," Tobi grins.

"Me too, " Roxas and I match. The Link arrives and we get on. It only takes fifteen minutes for us to get back to the campus. It isn't as bright today, but it's still pretty warm.

"Oh look Serah's over there under the tree," Roxas points over to one of the trees in the Courtyard.

"Oh cool, hey Serah!" I jog over to the tree. With a smile, she stands as we come near her.

"Hey guys! Are you..." what's going on? Serah's eyes look glazed over...what's she looking at? We all turn around.

"Naminé, Kairi take Serah and run..."
