Hey there everyone, good evening, how’s it going? Well then, here’s another chapter for your enjoyment! I will keep trying to post chapters as often as I can, but if I get a little bit slow posting
Hey there everyone, good evening, and how’s it going? Well then, here is a new story of mine that I shall be posting here, and as you can see, the title of the story is Bokutachi No Hibi, which means Our Days in Japanese! This story is about Roxas and Xion, and it’ll be a high school life/drama story. Before beginning to read the story, I wanted to tell you a bit about how I came to writing it.
So then, my inspirations for writing this story are Caelum Mare, for by reading his Kingdom Hearts fanfiction, titled Art of Attraction, I was able to get the basis for this story, so for that, I thank him very much! And my dear Inori helped me flesh out my idea by searching for last names for the characters that will appear here, and by giving me suggestions for this story, and she even came up with the title! So yeah, what you’ll see here is a collaboration between me and my dear Inori, so I’d like to thank her for supporting me in writing this story and for helping me out with it! This story is dedicated to her! Without further ado, here is the story! Enjoy!
Prologue: A Confusing Dream
(Start Song Here)
“Can we stay together…?”
“Is it too late?”
“There’s no stopping this…I wish we could have stayed together…”
“No! Don’t go!”
“Gaze up at the stars…and remember me…”
I suddenly wake up, gasping for breath. Sweat is dropping down from my brow. My head hurts and I feel so confused…I look towards my alarm clock and notice that it’s 3:00am. I slowly lean back on my bed, looking up at the ceiling, the whole room darkened and quiet. My name is Roxas Harada, and for as long as I can remember, I’ve always had this same dream. And in this dream, I always hear the voice of a girl, but I can never seem to picture who she is. Someone from my past? Someone I’ve yet to meet? Someone who only exists in my dreams? The only clue I have from this dream is that it takes place in what seems to be an island, a beautiful island paradise, near a palm tree. The images always blur whenever I try to focus on what I’m seeing in the dream. I really don’t know what to make of it. I’ve tried to talk to my brothers about it, but I don’t think they can help me. So for all this time, all I’ve been able to do is wonder. Wonder what the dream means…
(End Song Here)
Not being able to fall asleep, I wake up and yawn and stretch my legs, and then I lazily open the door and walk downstairs to get myself a glass of milk. Jeez, and tomorrow’s school! Great…all I know is that tomorrow I won’t have a spectacular first day. Anyways, I head down and then head towards the kitchen, opening the fridge, and then I spot the gallon of milk. Just as I’m about to look for a glass, I suddenly feel something on my shoulder, and then I give out a startled yell. When I turn around, I see my fraternal twin brother, Vanitas, laughing , but trying not to sound too loud. “Ha, you should have seen the look on your face, it was priceless!” he said, clearly enjoying himself. “Uh-huh, yeah, I must have looked totally ridiculous!” I replied back to him sarcastically.
Vanitas then put his arm around my shoulder and smiled, laughing continuously. “You know, that’s what I love most about you Roxas! You’ve got one great sense of humor!” he said, shaking his head while smiling. I simply nodded and ran my hand through my spiky hair. He noticed something was up, and then he leaned his back to the kitchen counter. “Hey bro, what’s up? You look down in the dumps.” he asked. The way he asked it was in an “aw, what’s wrong with my brother?” kind of tone. God, he sounded annoying. But I knew he meant well, so I turned around and looked at him straight in the eyes. It was a little intimidating looking at his eyes since they were yellow. I mean seriously, his eyes were shining through the dark like a cat, and it was creepy! And with all that spiky black hair, and black pajamas, all I could see were his eyes, and it gave me the creeps.
To shake him off, I tried to come up with an excuse. “Well, I just don’t feel sleepy, that’s all. It also could be because I’m a little stressed out because of school tomorrow…” I said to him, hoping that he’d buy this. I mean, sure, school wasn’t the problem, but I wasn’t a big fan of school either, so hopefully, he’d just buy this story and carry on. But unfortunately, because he’s my brother, he knew that wasn’t the case. “Uh-huh, sure. You can’t fool me, goldilocks, something’s got you thinking, and I want to know what it is.” he said, this time saying it in a mischievous voice, like if I didn’t tell him, he’d probably give me a wedgie, or worse, he’d take my glass of milk and throw it to my face! Oh, and I knew that he was capable of doing that! He was that much of a jerk! “Umm…” I began to say.
“What is going on down there?” a voice echoed from upstairs. The kitchen lights turned on, and I covered my face, for the sudden light made my vision blurry. When my eyes adjusted, I saw my identical twin brother Ventus, standing in front of me and Vanitas with his arms crossed and with a very irritated expression on his face. “Do you two know what time it is!? What the heck are you doing down here!? You two should be sleeping right now!” he exclaimed. Vanitas was about to explain what had happened, but Ventus cut him short. “I don’t want to hear it. Just go upstairs already!” he said. Vanitas rolled his eyes and scoffed at him. “Jeez, okay, okay, I’m going, Sergeant Killjoy! Good night.” he said as he walked upstairs and went to his room. Ventus then turned his attention to me. I don’t know what was worse. Having Vanitas give me a wedgie, or Ventus’ death stare. Ventus, or Ven, how we liked to call him, was the mature one, always looking out for me and Vanitas. “Well, isn’t it time you go to bed too?” Ven asked. “I just came down for a glass of milk.” I said to him.
And so with that, I quickly served myself the glass of milk, drank it, and then left the glass in the sink. “Good night.” I said to Ven, giving him a hug, and then I turned around and headed upstairs. “Hey Roxas. Are you okay?” he asked me. I wanted to turn around and tell him what was up, but I decided to ignore the question and I headed towards my room. As soon as I opened the door to my room, I took a few seconds to go in. I was still thinking about the dream. After a few more seconds, I decided to dismiss my current thoughts. I closed the door and headed for bed. I needed to get some sleep for tomorrow. We were going to start high school tomorrow. A new school, new faces, tons of trouble, and a pack of evil students to complicate my existence. Whoop dee doo…
I tossed and turned in bed, trying to get some sleep, but I felt restless. I hated when this happened. I then sat on my bed, looking at my alarm clock. It was now 4:00am. Great…just perfect. Only three and a half hours of sleep left before school. Well, for the heck of it, I just decided to take my IPad, which was on the night counter beside me, and I plugged my headphones in to listen to some music. I had a few songs here and there. Some from American bands and pop artists and some Japanese songs added in for good measure too. Since I didn’t know what song I wanted to put, I pressed shuffle, and then suddenly, Everything Goes Black from Skillet began to play. It was from their most recent album, Rise. One of my favorites by far. As I closed my eyes and listened to the rhythm of the guitar, bass and drums, the lyrics started to come in. “Chasing these shadows…around this darkened room…I’ve lain here so long I don’t even want to move…I need a minute now to heal…I need a minute now, to remember how to feel…whenever you’re gone away…the darkness hides the day…whenever you’re gone, the bleeding won’t stop…it hurts till you come back…everything goes black…everything goes black…”
And just like that, I closed my eyes listening to the song, and I started to get sleepier. But instead of just sleeping, now I saw the faint, blurry image of a girl. The same girl from the same dream. “Huh, I guess I can’t help but dream of you. That figures.” I said to myself, giving in to the gentle calmness of sleep, finally managing to fall into a deep sleep.
----------------------------------------
Who is the mysterious girl from Roxas’ dreams? Why is it that he can’t stop having the same dream? That is an answer that Roxas himself does not know, but he’ll have to leave those thoughts be for now, for he, Ventus and Vanitas will start high school the next day. What will await them? Find out in Chapter One: “The First Day.”
