I've been lurking in the Kingdom Hearts fandom for some time now, and I've only recently been inspired to write for it. Arcticwater's Axel/Larxene story, Incandescence, has inspired me enough to want to complete a 100 theme challenge for KH. I've picked Roxas and Namine because I feel like I can write them so much more easily than I could Sora/Kairi, Axel/Larxene, or Cloud/Aerith.

I've named this chapter and story after the Taylor Swift song of the same name. I feel like it represents Roxas and Namine rather well together.

Disclaimer: I don't own Kingdom Hearts or anything else mentioned…no matter how much I'd like to.

Title: Untouchable
Theme: Introduction
Summary: "I wanted to see you…just once."


He had never seen her before, but she seemed to know him. At least, he didn't think so. Still, there was something comfortably familiar about the way she acted around him. The ease he felt with her (all the time still a bit frantic and very confused) was oddly familiar- a feeling Roxas couldn't shake.

Her blue eyes seemed familiar and warm. They reminded him of what it felt like to be home (even more so than in his own house). Roxas was enthralled with her very presence. The way she seemed so composed while time stopped around them… Her flaxen hair was perfectly styled- not a hair out of place. For all of her familiarity, he wasn't ready for her smile.

Her lips turned upward happily, yet in a manner that indicated she knew something he didn't. And for a second he thought he remembered. A flash of a castle appeared in his mind. People with black cloaks- a guy with red hair, a girl with what seemed to be antenna as her hair barking orders at him, a sitar, and the very girl standing in front of him.

Her name… It was at the tip of his tongue. He wanted to ask her, but then she was gone. Time caught up with him again. The girl was gone and there was nothing he could do.

Roxas' heart seemed to be ripped away from him as time slowly returned to normal. Whatever memories he had salvaged from the girl's sudden appearance seemed to shatter the moment she left. And he had even remembered her name.

Namine…

Before he could wrap his mind around the three syllables, they disappeared. He only had a strange feeling about the blonde haired girl that had visited and stopped time.


This one is short. I fully intend to make the others longer.

Hopefully, I'll get a good amount of positive reviews and be able to post the next chapter. That may or may not have been a hint...
