Little love

"Sora-kun!"Namine shouted cheerfully. Namine had semi-long blonde hair,the ends bouncing as she ran up to her friend. Her cheeks were tinted cherry and her eyes were an aqua blue. She wore a short white dress,the ends rounded. Namine Hikari,Even though she was only five,had an amazing IQ of two hundred.

She was an amazing artist. In fact,her art was in museums all around the world! "Nami-tan!"

Sora Strife giggled in amusement. Sora's hair was brown and,it seemed,to defy gravity itself.

His eyes were as blue as the Caribbean ocean. He wore a t-shirt with blue trim,accompanied by short,boyish,shorts. Sora Strife had been nominated skateboarding champ ever since he was three. His sixth birthday in a month.

A year ago,Namine's father,Cloud Hikari,had moved to destiny islands for a top-secret weapons project. With him were his daughter and wife. His wife's name was Aerith Hikari and her maiden name was Yaounde. When they had first moved to the remote island,Namine had no friends. Even at school she was unaccompanied. That all changed when the siblings Vanitas and Sora moved from Traverse Town.

Sora,of course,warmed up to Namine right away. But as for Vanitas;it took him awhile to get use to her. Vanitas pretty much looked exactly like Sora but with black hair and golden eyes. They were known,and still are,as the three mickyteers .

The waves crashed loudly against a nearby dock and splashed them both as they chased each other. "Guys,We are too old to be playing games"Vanitas said while he kicked up some sand. Sora stuck out his tongue playfully and said,"Jeez brother,Just cause' you're seven doesn't mean your a grown up..." Namine just blushed while hiding behind Sora. "Sora...What if he gets angry a-again?"Namine whispered,her legs shaking.

Vanitas growled in warning before stomping off. Namine giggled while Sora rolled in the sand snorting. "He's like a little puppy!"Namine tittered in delight. Sora got up and held Namine's hand."Namine? Wanna come to my house to get some paopu ice creams?" Sora said gently tugging her arm.

Namine nodded her head shyly and followed him. The vibrant colored sand crunched under their feet,shells spread on the sand made the scene perfect. Namine and Sora were both sitting on his back porch while licking clear popsicles. Each had a slice of paopu fruit in the center. The sun had just started to set,pink,yellow,and orange caressed the Caribbean ocean. Namine wished she could be there forever. To stay like this made her happy.

Namine hid her disappointment when she had to leave for dinner. "See you tomorrow Nami-tan!~" Sora said before she left,hugging her tightly. Namine smiled lightly before leaving his front walk way. It had already gotten very dark and cold. Namine shivered and rubbed her arms for warmth."Why is it so cold?"Namine thought as she sneezed.

Namine whipped her head around when she heard something behind her. "Take it easy Namine,it's just me."Vanitas said smiling a wicked smile at her. Namine sighed in relief while clutching her chest. "What are you doing out here alone Vani-kun?" Namine said smiling warmly. My Dad sent me to walk you home.." Vanitas mumbled hanging his head down slightly.

While the two strolled down the beach Namine hummed a little melody. "Can you knock it off? That's annoying... By the way,what is that song?" Vanitas hissed with his hands in his pockets. Namine blushed and bowed. "Oh! Sorry Vani-kun! That song is...um...a song my mom would sing to me..." She looked down when she spoke of her mom. Her mother had died in a car-crash when Namine was two.

Vanitas looked away awkwardly and mumbled,"Right,sorry bout' that Namine-san." Vanitas twitched when he saw a tear trickle down her cheek. "N-Namine? Are you okay?" Vanitas said putting his hand on her shoulder. "It's all my fault.." Namine whispered,her voice hoarse. "W-What?" Vanitas said in disarray. "I'TS ALL MY FAULT!" Namine screamed while tears streamed down her pale face. Vanitas backed up as Namine feel to the ground,sobbing neurotically. Vanitas bit his lip,trying to think of a way to comfort her. Slowly, he knelt down next to her and put his arm around her.

"N-Namine-san...It isn't your fault,the person at fault,if anything,is the one who ran into her."Vanitas cooed as her rubbed her back. Namine sniffled and looked up,snot all over her face. Vanitas flinched,grossed-out. Namine's eyes started to fill up with tears."Waaaaaah!Vani-kun!"Namine said as she hugged him. Vanitas's face turned cerise when she squeezed tighter. "N-Nami-" He stopped talking when he felt a sharp pain shoot through his arm.

He screamed in pain when his whole arm began to burn,three claw marks on his bicep. When he looked up,he saw a black creature with white eyes and crooked antenna. "H-Heartless..." Vanitas maundered under his breath. Namine cowered behind him fright. "H-Heartless? " Namine said unsteadily. Vanitas quivered when her breath ran down his arm. "T-They take your hearts and...eat them. They use to be human..." Vanitas said with obvious hostility in his tone. Namine whimpered and clutched her chest.

"Don't worry,I'll protect you.." Vanitas whispered as he struck a fighting stance. From the shadows,four heartless appeared,each running at Vanitas. Vanitas took them all out with one kick,each disappearing into dust. After he killed them, hearts appeared and floated away. Vanitas remained still,looking for more. Then,out of nowhere,the ground began to rumble. All around them were heartless,some coming out of the water and from under the dock.

The sky began to grow dark,everything seemed to be sucked into the darkness. Vanitas stood in front of Namine and shielded her from whatever was coming.

"Not this again..."
