AUTHOR'S NOTE:
This was my first fanfic ever. Back in late '06, I believe.
Well, I wrote THIS part first, then I wrote the second part a few months later. One night in bed Ijust had this IDEA to write this fanfic, and so I did; all before I went to sleep -.-'
No wonder I took my time writing the second part...
Anyway, apologies in advance for this being epic fail...I was just a newbie :'(
I don't own Kingdom Hearts, or Roxas, Namine, Axel, Sora, Kairi or Riku. If I did, things would've turned out a little differently... :(
"This island's pretty great, isn't it?" Roxas said to Naminé as she sat down beside him on the sand next to the water.
"Yes, it's beautiful," Naminé replied as they watched the sun set.
"I wonder what Hayner, Pence and Olette would think of it here," Roxas said as the cool breeze swept through his hair.
"They would probably like it, but I think they would prefer Twilight Town," Naminé said, while the ocean waves gently reached the shore.
"They wouldn't remember you, Roxas."
"What?" Roxas bolted upright from the sand.
"The Hayner, Pence and Olette you knew were replicas, the real ones wouldn't know who you are.," Naminé said wisely.
Roxas sighed. "Then I guess they weren't my real friends," he said sadly.
"Do you remember your true friend?" Naminé asked.
Roxas thought for just a moment.
"Axel."
Naminé nodded.
"I wonder what he would think of this place?" Roxas said with a smile.
"He's been here before," Naminé informed him.
"Really?"
"Yes, he came to find Kairi. He didn't stay for very long though."
"Is that why Kairi was at the castle?"
"Yes."
Roxas paused for a moment.
"If it weren't for him, we wouldn't be together right now, would we?"
"No, probably not," Naminé answered, and paused. "He never stopped caring about you, Roxas. You meant more to him than anything else in the world."
Roxas sighed, and leaned back on the sand. "I wonder what happened to him…"
"You haven't accessed Sora's memories yet?"
"Nah…I've too busy just kicking back and relaxing…I thought they'd be too much of a burden…Wait!" Roxas exclaimed with a jolt. "Sora knows what happened to him?"
"Yes."
"Do you know what happened to him?"Naminé paused."Please, tell me!" Roxas pleaded.
Naminé paused again.
"…I think you should find out for yourself."
Roxas was silent. Suddenly he was filled with a sickening dread.
"Just go into Sora's memories, Roxas…you'll see. I'll leave you alone for a while.
"Naminé got up and walked to the nearby beach shack.
Roxas watched the sun sink further down into the horizon.
Kairi came out of the shack, the sun had just set, and she went to look for Sora so they could go inside for the night. She searched and searched, until she spotted Sora sitting alone next to the shore.
She walked up to him, and she saw that he had his head down.
"Sora? What's wrong?"
Sora picked up his head and looked up to Kairi.
"I don't know," he said, as tears streamed down his face.
"I just can't seem to stop crying."
