Winged Serenity: I was inspired to make this by reading both Hana-Kimi and Ouran High School Host Club. They arn't exactly the same, but they have a familiar basic plot of female dressing as a male, and only the girl knows she's the only female in a forest of men, and maybe a few other people. I also dedicate this to LiLi-sama, whom's fanfiction, Genderless: One Without a Gender, was just amazing to read. I recommened it if you don't mind reading about Kairi and company. Anyhow, before my fire of inspiration goes out, I should actually write. And I introduce my diclaimer crew, who all are the major characters in this story.
Naminé: Winged Serenity does not own any of the characters of Kingdom Hearts, nor any of the Final Fantasy characters that may appear, for they all belong to Square Enix.
Sora: The major pairings of this insane romance story are; Naminé/ Roxas, Sora, Riku, Axel, Demyx and Zexion. (One sided CloudxNaminé.) There are other Naminé pairings, but these are the more important ones. And I don't know how Zexion got thrown into there, but he did. Also, Winged Serenity bribed me into saying this 'cause she said she'd give me a cookie.
Roxas: Why are the ones with a seemingly serene personality, are always the most manipulative?
Winged Serenity: Because in reality, we're the most evil. We take over minds, and make them do our bidding. By the way, here's your cookie, Sora.
Sora: Yay! I got a happy cookie!
Axel: Seriously?! I never knew Roze-san was manipulative!
Zexion: That's why you're called an idiot...it was obvious. Even Sora knew.
Demyx: Zexy, don't say such cruel things! Just calm down with a nice, cool, glass of water!
Riku: If we drank the water you offered us, we'd be poisoned, Demyx.
Sora: And what do you mean by, 'Even Sora knew'?!
Cloud: Naminé, come here. The idiots may accidently slaughter you in cold blood.
Winged Serenity: Eheh, and before this gets out of hand, and half the crew is murdered, I'm going to actually get on with the introduction. And before I throw up at Cloud's words. Ah, inspirations are wonderfully awesome. Also, please excuse my grammer. I sometimes forget to spellcheck it.

I've Always Loved You...
--- -X- ---
Naminé Cross was a normal teenager, who was at the age of fifteen. The female's life was almost perfect. She had a cousin who she dearly loved. The two were very close, but she found out Cloud was going to Sunset Acadamy, an all boys school. And the only way to stay by her cousin's side was; enroll into the all boys school. And guess what she did? The girl sacrificed her near perfect life for her dearest cousin.

And I Found That The Hard Way...
"Wake up, Naminé." A blonde haired female with angelic features gently rubbed her eyes and looked to see who had called her name. A blonde haired male with spikey blonde hair smiled at Naminé. She smiled lightly, then wrapped her arms around his neck.
"Morning, Cloud." She nuzzled against him, still half asleep. Much to her dismay, her warmth pulled way from her embrace, then softly ruffled her hair. Naminé blinked a few times, and whined about being cold. Cloud chuckled, then sat besides her. Naminé soon gave him a light hug, and he gently put his arm around her petite shoulders. The cousins were very close, and had a very affectionate relationship. But it was a pure one. Cloud didn't do anything indecent to his younger cousin, whom he loved as a sister. They lived together, since Naminé's mother and father were abroad, and were successful in their buisness. But they didn't forget to call and send letters and e-mails to their dearest daughter. Cloud lived with her because Naminé's parents didn't like the idea of the fifteen year old girl to live alone, and Cloud's parents didn't mind. So she had lived with the Strife family ever since her parents left Destiny Islands.
"So, is something wrong? You don't usually wake me up like this." Naminé looked at him suspiciously, and Cloud smiled uneasily. He put his hand to his face, and sighed heavily. How was he going to tell her this? He knew she was going to be furious or devastated. Either one, Naminé was not going to be happy with what he was about to tell her. The blonde male had kept this a secret from her for awhile, trying to get over the shock himself. And when he did, he knew he had to tell his cousin. But they were so close! How was he going to tell her that he wasn't going to highschool with her? She was looking foward to it...
Cloud took in deep breaths of air, then looked at Naminé with a serious expression. He wasn't kidding. "Naminé, I'm going to Sunset Acadamy, an all boys school." The blonde female's azure eyes went wide and Cloud looked away from her. She was bewildered at what he said. "Please...understand. I'm not going to Destiny High...my father enrolled me in the acadamy, and with my near perfect grades, I got in." Cloud looked at the ground, trying to avoid her face. Even though it was silent, he knew she was crying. Cloud glanced at her. He was right. Warm, crystal tears were streaming down her pale cheeks.
"But...Cloud...why..?" Naminé asked, she was now clinging onto his arm, his black sleeve damp with Naminé's tears. He flinched at her question, then sighed in frustration. He hurt Naminé. And he always told himself he'd protect her. "Cloud...please...say something..I...want to hear your voice..!" She cried out in desperation, now tightly hugging Cloud, and not budging an inch. He bit his lip, then embraced his cousin.
"I'm sorry, Naminé. I'm...really sorry.." He hugged her close, and she buried her tear streaked face in his chest. Clouds heartbeat soon calmed her down, and he smiled sadly at his silent cousin. She looked up at him, and he wiped off her tears. But at her next reply, the blonde haired male was surprised. She gripped his arms, and looked into his eyes.
"Then I'm going too." Naminé looked at Cloud with a hurt expression. And Cloud just looked shocked. She was hiding hear tears, and wanted to seem like she didn't care. Because it hurt her so much. It hurt so much. So she lied. "I knew already. Leon told me." Cloud looked like he wanted to murder Leon at the moment. Squall Leonheart, who is also known as Leon, is Cloud's best friend, and is like Naminé's cousin. The three were that close. The spikey blonde male chuckled, then stood up, breaking their embrace. Though Naminé was slightly reluctant.
"Naminé. Are you serious?!" He asked her, his tone of voice was loud. Naminé flinched. Cloud only raised his voice when he was seriously pissed. Thankfully, his parents were out, and only Leon was downstairs doing whatever a silent guy does. They soon heard footsteps coming up the stairs, and there was Leon, his eyes wide with concern, and he skidded sideways in the hall, passing Naminé's room, then sidestepping to the doorway. Cloud's eye twitched, and he cleched and uncleched his hand. Poor Leon didn't know what was going to happen to him. Then all of a sudden, the brunette male was thrown into a wall. Naminé shrieked, Leon groaned in pain, and Cloud's eye was still twitiching furiously.
"Squall, you are so dead." Cloud had this...very...as Naminé described, 'dark and evil' sparkle in his eyes. Leon was dizzily holding his forehead, trying no to collaspe on the floor, for he was seeing triple Cloud walking towards him. Wait, what? The brunette snapped out of his trance, then Cloud and Leon began wrestling. Naminé just sat on her white sheeted bed in shock. Wow, they were still childish, despite their age. But Naminé's friend, Olette, had commented that Cloud and Leon were the hottest guys she had ever seen. Well, Cloud was tall, built, lean, and had nicely toned muscles, he had wild, spikey blonde hair, and amazing stormy blue eyes that seemed to be the absolute essence of beauty. And as for Leon, he had gorgeous blue eyes like Cloud, and long brown hair that went down to just below his shoulders in a slightly spiky fashion. He is also strong and muscular, though both Cloud and Leon are both in a never-ending compitition about who was more stronger. Since they both wanted to protect Naminé. She was the most important person in their lives.
She was very important. "Um...guys?" Leon and Cloud paused their wrestling match in the hallway to see who's tender voice called them. It was Aerith. Leon probably forgot to lock the door again. The brunette female smiled hesitently. The two's position was akward. "...If I didn't know, I'd think you two had a relationship." Aerith shook her head, putting empthis on relationship. Cloud's eyes widened, and Leon's did too. Naminé did nothing but silently laugh. Leon rolled off of Cloud and the blonde just rubbed his neck in embarrassment. He blushed when Aerith looked at him, and Naminé noticed this, feeling as if a dagger went through her heart.
"Well, that was interesting." Naminé turned to see who had snorted. It was someone she hadn't seen before. Probably someone Cloud knew? The guy had unbelievable flaming red hair in a ponytail, and tattoos on his face. Wow. "Cloud, coming?" Naminé titlted her head to the side. What was he talking about. Cloud sighed in relief, then walked over to the redhead. Aerith giggled softly.
"Wait, what?" Naminé quickly got off her bed, and ran into the hallway, almost tripping over Leon. "Cloud?!" She looked at him with a confused look on her face, and he smiled sadly at her. Cloud gave her a small kiss on her forehead, then walked away from her towards the door. What was this pain that began throbbing in her heart? Why was it when he kissed her, she wanted more? What was the feeling of happiness in her chest when he embraced her every morning?
"I'm going now. To Sunset Acadamy. Bye, Naminé." He waved at her, and walked out the door. This wasn't happening...it couldn't be happening! S-she, had to go after him! She had to be with him! It pained her when he walked out that door, whenever he laughed or smiled with Aerith. When Cloud let her go from an embrace. Her heart was feeling severe pain, and as he walked out that door, Naminé could've sworn her heart shattered. This pain, it was jealousy. Whenever Naminé saw him with another girl, she felt envious. It was because she wanted to be the only one who made him smile. And Naminé wanted him all to himself. It wasn't a normal cousin affection. Naminé had fallen in love with Cloud. And she wasn't ready to let him go. She wanted him besides him. Saying her name. Hot tears slid down her face, and she was on all fours, sobbing, letting her tears fall onto the floor.
"C-Cloud..."
"Naminé."
Roze-san: I'm sorry about the pathetic length, but it's just a introduction. I promise, the chapters will get longer. Read and review, please. Feel free to flame and critizite. And...I have a guest to inroduce. She's going to be my author's note crew from now on. Partner. Isn't it interesting? A one sided CloudxNaminé. Don't worry, Naminé will have someone else to dry her tears. Anyways, understand why the title is called that? Naminé's a pure girl, but her love for her cousin taints her purity. Though that was probably obvious.
Kitten-chan: Just call me Kitten-chan! Or Kitty-chan. Either one. And poor Nami-chan, Cloud won't ever be able to return her love. He's going to be in either a CloudxAerith or CloudxTifa relationship. Maybe it'll be an AerithxCloudxTifa love triangle. Yup. Fun. Poor Nami, we're playin' with her heart. Yes, she has a heart. Or else she wouldn't be in love. Duh. Obviously.
Roze-san: I'm rather content with my stories. The review requierment is at least two reveiws...I mean, I put my heart and soul into this. I tried to think of a plot that wasn't to similar to any of the other cross-dressing stories I've read! So please put in a review. Domo Arigato. And Kit, stop making fun of the readers...
Kitten-chan: Sorry 'bout that, Serenity. Anywho...
Roze-san: Have something to say?
Kitten-chan: Reviews make Roze happy! ...And I sounded like a dork for a moment.
Roze-san: Sorry...but...you always have been one...
Kitten-chan: That's true. But I don't give a rip about it.
Roze and Kitten: See you (hopefully) next chapter!
