A/N: More plot development!

Note: Guys, please. I've had two people vote on that poll (thank you to whoever you were!) I'd like at least a couple more people. Pleeeease?

Sora parted from the others, waving goodbye to them before starting down the street. He looked around happily, feeling better than he had earlier.

He'd almost forgotten about the man when he heard footsteps behind him. Stiffening then glancing back, he stared at the man in the trench coat. The man wasn't looking at him, instead gazing over the road at the houses as he continued to walk, but Sora was still a little nervous. He was still getting that bad feeling from him, and it didn't reassure him in the slightest.

Glancing around, he was glad to see there were a few other people on the street. Plus, he wasn't too far from home.

Suddenly taking off, he began to run up the road towards his house, turning a couple of corners. Some people called out greetings again, surprised to see him running at this hour but recognising him easily enough.

As he glanced over his shoulder, he was glad to see that the man hadn't tried to follow. He quickly unlocked his door and crept in, closing and locking it behind him before sinking to the floor, letting out a shaky breath and wishing Roxas was there with him.

Roxas arrived home a little later, still embarrassed over Lea revealing his feelings but happy, too. He reached for the handle, pulling it, then frowned as he realised it was locked. That was weird...Sora never locked the door if he knew Roxas was coming back after him.

Reaching for his pocket, he pulled out his keys and placed them in the lock. He turned it, pulling the door open, then blinked as he saw Sora curled up against the wall.

"Sora?" he asked worriedly, kneeling beside his twin.

Sora slowly raised his head, gazing at Roxas for a moment. Then tears entered his eyes and he leapt forward, hugging him and crying.

Roxas was surprised by the action, but gently rocked Sora, waiting it out. He wasn't sure what happened, but he would wait until Sora was ready to tell him.

Eventually Sora calmed, pulling back and rubbing his eyes. He signed 'I'm sorry' to Roxas, but Roxas brushed it off.

"It's fine. Come on, why don't you just write down what's been bothering you?" he asked, leading Sora to the kitchen. As they settled down, Sora hesitated then pulled out his notebook and pen. He slowly began to write down what had happened, eventually turning it round and passing it to Roxas.

Roxas read through it, frowning the further he got.

"So...you were freaking because a guy you saw in school that gave you a bad feeling was behind you when you walked back?" he asked, raising an eyebrow.

Sora fidgeted, inwardly sighing. He should have known Roxas wouldn't believe him.

"I get that you're upset, Sora, but...it could be really simple. An easy explanation."

Sora shook his head. He didn't know why, he just knew that man was trouble somehow.

Roxas bit his lip. "Okay. We'll be a bit more careful, and I'll try and see if I can find out who he is, but Sora...I can't promise anything, okay?"

Sora nodded. He knew that already. He wasn't expecting a miracle. He just wanted Roxas to be aware.

Roxas saw that he was still a bit shaken and stood. "I'll make us some dinner. You just stay there, alright?" he said, crossing over to the cooker. As he looked through the packets, he wondered how he could have gone from feeling so happy to so worried in such a short amount of time.

Sora didn't want to go school the next day, and it took Roxas some time to finally convince him. Eventually he just went outside, figuring he could go to school alone, but Sora didn't want Roxas on his own and quickly followed him out.

They soon reached the school, meeting up with others. Roxas was a little shy around Lea, but he quickly solved it by slinging an arm over his shoulder and giving him a light peck on the cheek. This caused Roxas to go red, but made a wide grin come to Sora's face.

As the day went on, Sora began to relax. Maybe Roxas was right, maybe it was all just a big coincidence and he was over-reacting. It wouldn't be the first time, after all.

He just couldn't shake the feeling that he'd met that man before.

He was running a little late for Music, having been hanging around with the others on the wrong side of the school. Out of their group, he was the only one who took Music (other than Xion, but she was in the year above), so he was a little way away.

He hurried for the classroom, the corridors almost completely empty. He rounded a corner and bumped into someone. Stumbling back, he looked up to wave an apology before stiffening.

The man gave a smirk. "Hello...Strife."

Sora's eyes widened as he suddenly realised where he knew the man from. This...this was the person who broke into their house...!

He backed away, fear rising in him. The man gave a smirk as he came forward, reaching for him. Sora glanced down the corridor, but no one was there. He couldn't call for help. So he did the only thing he could.

He ran.

A/N: I almost feel sorry for you, Sora. Almost. But this is for the good of the story.

Did you know, this entire story is plot relevant? No fluff, no fillers, nothing. Just good ol' plot.

Review?
