Winter: This is my new story Life after Death. Well, the first chapter anyways. Hope you like it!

Summary: My best friend Roxas was murdered seven years ago. I still miss him after seven years… It's hard to not miss him… I miss his spiky golden locks, his crooked smile, but most of all… I miss his eyes. His eyes were so full of life but… When I found him, they were lifeless. I don't think I will ever see him again…" That's what Namine thought.

Chapter One: Can't Shake This Feeling…

I took a deep breathe and walked into the cafeteria. I scanned the room for my friends. Aqua, Xion, Riku, Sora, Terra; I looked to my right and saw fire red hair so I started in that direction.

Once I arrived at the table (Two tables were pulled together) where all my friends sat I took a seat next to Sora. He took notice and wrapped an arm around my waist. I looked up to meet his lively blue eyes on me.

"What's wrong Nami? Are you alright?" He asked furrowing his eyebrows.

My eyes widened and I looked at everyone else at the table, they all had the same worried expression on their friendly faces.

"You don't know what today is?" I asked looking back at Sora. He shook his head slowly so I looked at everyone else. They did the same.

"How could any of you forget?" I asked, jumping to my feet.

"Forget what?" Terra asked crossing his arms and sitting back in his seat.

"I can't believe this!" I said spinning on my heel and walking towards the doors.

"Forget what!?" I heard Aqua yell.

I turned around and glared at each one of them. I opened my mouth to say something but decided against it. I turned around and stormed out of the cafeteria.

I fast-walked half way down the hall then started to run. I bolted out of the building, tears streaming down my face…

"Namine!" I heard a familiar voice call. "Namine, where are you!?" The voice called again.

I sat there under the tree and continued to cry.

"Namine! There you are! I looked everywhere for you!" He told me standing in front of me. I looked up and saw seven year old Roxas. He had his crooked smile plastered to his face, his blonde hair swaying slightly with the breeze.

"What's wrong, Nami?" He asked, taking a seat next to me under the big tree.

"I-I don't w-want y-y-you to l-leave, R-Roxas…" I whispered to him. I once again buried my face in my arms.

Then I felt something pulling at my hand. I looked at Roxas once again; he was standing again and pulling at my hand. I let him grasp my hand and he pulled me up. Before I knew it, I was pulled into a warm embrace.

"R-Roxas…?" I said into his shoulder. My voice was a bit muffled but he still answered, "I will always come back Namine," He told me.

I pulled out of the embrace and smiled up at him. He smiled at me and I giggled at him.

"Come on, Namine! Let's go play until my mom comes to get me!" He said grabbing my hand again and pulling me towards the little playground. A new round of giggles erupted from my small pink lips and I ran along with him.

I continued to run down the little dirt road. My legs felt weak but I continued towards the beach of Destiny.

I walked slowly towards the ocean, tears still ran down my face and my bottom lip was trembling. I collapsed at the waters edge and buried my face in the palms of my hands. I sat there like that for ten minutes but then I heard the sand shifting under someone's feet. The person sat behind me and snaked their arms around my body.

"Please don't cry Namine… It hurts me too much…" The person told me. I knew that voice all to well.

I sniffled and took my face out of my hands and stood up, the boy behind me doing the same. (He still released me to stand up.)

"Please… Go, Sora… I want to be alone right now…" I told him, my voice sounded hoarse and I didn't like it one bit.

"No. I won't leave you here and let you be sad," He said spinning me around to face him. He had a sad/hurt expression written all over his face. I sighed and wrapped my arms around his neck and let my head rest on his chest. He wrapped his arms around me once again in a tight embrace.

"I'm sorry I forgot… It's been seven years now, eh?" He said, placing a kiss on my light blonde hair.

"Yeah... It has been a long time since he has been gone," I said into his shoulder.

"It has been a long time… Maybe we should… Just…" He closed his mouth all of a sudden. I craned my neck to look at his face; his eyes locked with mine.

"Forget…?" I completed his sentence. He closed his eyes, removed one hand from my back and placed it behind my head. He pushed my head back down to rest on his broad chest.

"I'm sorry, Nams. It's just… You have been thinking about him non-stop and I… I get jealous, I guess." He said resting his head on top of mine.

"I'm sorry you feel like that, Sora. He was my best friend after all…" I explained to him closing my eyes as well.

"Now you have a new best friend," He said pushing me back a bit to look at my face. Our eyes locked and I smiled. Sora's attitude sure was contagious…

He took the hand that was once resting on the back of my head under my chin. He pulled my face closer to his, my eyes closing ever so slowly.

Our lips finally met. He bit my bottom lip lightly; I barely opened my mouth before his tongue entered; exploring my mouth. I tried to win against his tongue but he always won so I just went along with the flow.

We finally broke apart to catch our breathe. He rested his forehead on mine and laughed a little.

"Feel better, miss?" He asked me.

"Yes doctor. Much better," I giggled.

"That's good to hear… Too bad were out in public, eh?"

I pulled back and opened my eyes; so did he. I swatted his arm. I could feel the blood rushing to my face.

He laughed a bit, moved to my side and snaked a long arm around my shoulders, "I guess there isn't really anyone here though… It would be alright for us to carry on a bit further…" He said moving his face towards mine. I poked his forehead and giggled, "I don't think so, lover boy."

"Oh well," He said slightly shrugging, "Worth a try."

We started to walk towards the dirt road not saying a word. I shivered a bit just then.

"Are you cold?" He asked looking over at me and raising his chocolate brown eyebrows.

"No… Never mind…" I said. I felt him shrug and we just continued to walk.

"I'm lucky you're my boyfriend," I told him, placing a kiss on his cheek.

"I'm lucky you're my girlfriend…" He said, blushing a little from my action.

We continued to walk back to the school and when we arrived, the bell rang. Sora pecked me on the lips and ran off to his class; waving back at me. I waved and smiled sadly. I shuddered again.

I couldn't shake the feeling of being watched. I looked around the school yard twice over then walked inside the school.

Can't shake this feeling…

Winter: So… Was it good? Bad? That was my first time ever writing a kiss scene… I don't know if it was good or not. And I am sorry to all the Namaxis fans for the little Namora scene there… -Dodges Rotten Fruit- Please forgive me!
