Revenge
Prolouge
A faint shimmer lit up the entire room. The final battle was over for Roxas.
"You make a good other."
"NO YOU DON'T!" Namine screamed angrily, throwing her sketchbook to the ground. Some of her crayons had shattered from the sudden burst of anger. Namine had seen the fight between Sora and Roxas. They had become whole. This wouldn't do. For too long she had been stepped on. For too long she had been prisoner to her own regret and sadness. For too long she had been denied her happiness. No, she would not be an empty puppet any longer. Tears bit at her eyes. She knew that Roxas would be one with Sora, but she didn't want it to happen deep down inside. She could feel it too. Someone nearby was pulling at her, calling her to be one again. She shook her head.
"I won't do it. I don't want to be whole if I have to share Roxas with someone," Namine said through gritted teeth. In her body, deep down somewhere, Namine wanted to believe that nobodies might have some essence of a heart within them still. This was why they were smarter and fought better than those heartless. Even nobodies have someone important to them. Two nobodies could become whole, or at least make each other feel whole. Who said that this had to happen? She knew it was selfish, but she couldn't stand the thought of having to share the sole thing that had become important, the only nobody in the entire world that made her whole. Who cared if the emotion wasn't entirely real? It was all Namine had wanted for the longest time.
"What are you getting upset for?" Axel asked, noticing the mess Namine had made. Namine glanced at Axel, her eyes strong and unmoving. This shocked Axel so much he had to take a step back. This was new. He smirked. This was very new. Roxas may just come back after all.
"You know it too, don't you?" Namine said, turning her head away and wiping at her eyes. No tears were there. Of course they weren't there, nobodies don't feel anything. They can only pretend, but pretending was enough for Namine because sometimes it felt so real that it almost made something within her beat. She didn't want to move forward. She liked where she was. "Roxas is gone to the both of us."
"Not quite," Axel said, a plan creeping into his mind. Namine's new turn of 'emotions' could just be the thing he needed. He picked up her sketchbook and broken crayons, handing them to her when she held out her hands for them. He smirked. "You know as well as I do that a heartless and a nobody are created when taken apart by the keyblade. Even if you are not chosen by the keyblade, you can create one and give the illusion of killing one with the keyblade, right? It might just be enough to create Roxas again."
Namine's eyes widened, tempted by Axel's plan. However, she contemplated it. If she could bring Roxas back, what would she do then? What if he had no recollection of his memories like the last time? They would have to start all over. Namine searched within her. Maybe that's just what they needed. They could run away and leave Sora and Kairi to each other. Axel could come too. The two of them were best friends. She looked up at Axel, her decision firm.
"Will you teach me to fight?"
"With your heart and soul," Axel replied, tracing Namine's cheekbone. She held his hand, staring strongly into his eyes. Axel smirked at her, understanding that she and he were on the same terms. This was not only to save Roxas.
It was the save the only bond the two had ever shared, and for whatever reason, they had to protect it. Right now, it was all they had.
"Teach me how to fight with what I have and I'll find a way to repay you."
"Give me what you got."
And he kissed her.
Author's Note
I know what's going to happen, but I'm not quite sure about the couples. I know for sure it's Namine x Roxas, but there was that slight bit of Namine x Axel in the end too. (It's not the kiss, trust me. You'll find out in the next chapter why that exactly happened.)
I've been waiting for Namine to just get angry. To get so furious that she just wants to destroy everything around her. It's about time she got angry. I'm so glad I just let her go crazy.
