Pure Soul

Chapter One

I walk into the vacant classroom filled with an off aura. I walk up to my desk, which is up front by the window... I set my bag on the chair and open my desk. I found what I was looking for but dropped it when I found a white box speckled with golden stars. It belonged to that girl, Naminé Caluem...That was her name...I sort of had a small thing for her...But as fate chose it...She passed away a month ago...

"Yo! Roxas! The gang-What'cha got there?" I turned around and faked a smile to my cousin, Sora.

"Nothing! Just nothing that's all!" Was all I replied. Sora shrugged and left the class. I turned my attention back to the box. This...It was the box I gave to Naminé Caluem for her birthday. Who am I? Well I am a friend of hers, an old friend. I met her in 2nd grade.

I locked the door and closed it silently. It was only 5:30 in the morning and Miss Tifa won't be arriving in about two...Three hours...

I stared down at the box...I swiftly lifted up the box with a finger. My eyes were shut...My mouth was zipped...I slowly opened both...There a whole bunch of stuff in there: Diary...Photos...Some CDs ...Camera ...And her sketch book... I thought that was buried with her? I picked up her sketch book. Slowly flipping through pages she would always hesitate to show me... There were many pages...Filled with wonders of colors...There was picture that caught my attention...One of her and "I"...Me? Why would she draw me? There was a little note on the bottom that was written in cursive... "Turn to Page 13..."

What page does she mean? I counted the pages on the sketchbook...But...Wait! Page 13... I closed the book filled with art and set it on my desk near the white box. I snatched the Diary it was brown leather with a star locked... Should I rip it open? No! I don't want to tear it apart! There was a sticky note on the back written once again in cursive... "Use Your Key..."

I reached in my pocket and pulled out a jingling noise. I hold up two of them in the air. Oblivion and Oath keeper... I picked off Oblivion and let it enter the star. The left lock clicked, but it still didn't open. I did the same to Oath Keeper and the star locket clicked open and fell on the floor. I picked up and shoved it in my pocket. I flipped through pages filled with secrets...But I was only determined to know... Just to know what that drawing meant... Finally!

Dear Diary,

Today when I was completing all my assignments at the Library, I fell asleep and had a dream... About Roxas and I...It was such a sweet... Happiness could not describe what I felt... I had a dream that him and I were walking into an open field... He suddenly stops and so did I... He smiles and holds my hand. I blushed from the soft touch and looked to him...His strong blue ocean eyes... His perfect grin laced like a ribbon... 'I Love You...' Was he whispered... I hope that dream becomes reality...

Love,

Naminé Caluem

A tear streaked down my cheek...I never knew...About this...I've heard but doubted... Kairi...Axel...Sora...Even Riku...They all tried telling me... I feel like a bitch wrapped up in fuck...

(After School...)

"Okay...Bye!" I waved off a goodbye to Sora and Kairi. I pushed open the door and entered my apartment.

"Hello Roxas!" My mother greets and kisses my cheek. I rolled my eyes and pout.

"Mom!" She giggles and walks off in to the kitchen, humming to herself. When her footsteps disappeared so did I. I run of to my room and shut the door. I locked it up and placed the DVD in... I grabbed my universal remote and clicked on a simple button, causing a small dent on each sides of the T.V.

A video started to show up of Naminé... She was sitting in her bedroom smiling and all cheerful...But Roxas could see that it was only a mere mask...

"Hello...If you received the box someone has given you...It's from me...*Sigh* It's me your dead friend... Naminé Caluem...*Giggles* Well I hope life is better without me...Kairi..Axel Sora...Riku...Xion...And...Oh! Who am I forgetting? Of course that's right...Roxas?"

I flinched and started to shiver how they way she said my name...Seductively...And Scary at the same time...

"As I was saying...*Giggles* Oh! I'm sorry it's just so funny...*Chuckling* I can't help it...You guys always leave me out sometimes...(Her laughing stops and her lips formed to a straight line)I just wish you guys would always try to form me into some shit!" (She covers her eyes...I could see the tears streaming down already...I didn't know she was that hurt...) Always leaving me! I never felt so empty in my entire life! You know what scratch that...It's been since I met you guys...(She folds her hands together and sniffs up a little bit...)"

"So I try piling myself up with schoolwork...But it doesn't work! The pain is still whimpering in my ear begging for suicide! So did I commit suicide? I don't know? You guys tell me.(She wipes away her remaining tears) It's always been you guys I put first...The only reason I go to school and kept living...But that reason is gone now.(The blonde said sternly...) *Sigh* There's more if you still want to along with?"

"This is the game we are playing...So listen up!~ The game is called...Find Alice! Roxas your the mad hatter...Kairi the Queen of hearts! Sora the Rabbit! Riku the cat! Xion the mouse! And Axel you can be the Caterpillar! 10...9...8...7...6...5...4...3...2...1..."

When I closed my eyes...I found myself in a whole new different world. Where am I? I turn around and spot a girl with platinum blonde hair dancing with a white rose in her hand. She is slowly plucking each petal off. I walk towards her...The more I walked towards her...The familiar her face was...My eyes widen...

"N-Na- Naminé..." I stuttered. The blonde noticed my appearance and smiled.

"Hello...Welcome to the game..."
