"Hurry!" Naminé cried, reaching her hand towards her Other—towards Kairi—her eyes pleading for the other girl's quick compliance with her words.

Kairi took a deep breath, part of her wary and part of her completely trusting this girl she'd never seen before; there was something in her eyes and her soft reassuring smile that made it impossible for the redheaded girl not to trust her. She ran forward and clasped the outstretched hand.

There was a flash of light, and when Kairi could see again, she recognized the place they were standing in. It was the same empty space she had run through to escape her fiery-haired captor and had seen again when he dragged her through the second time. The emptiness did not bode well, but Kairi felt much safer with the blonde girl there instead of the tall dangerous man clad in black. She could feel remnants of his presence there; his and Sora's. No, not Sora. Roxas. Wait, who…?

When she turned to Naminé to mention this, she froze, caught in the girl's brilliant smile. All coherent thought was wiped from her mind as Naminé finally spoke, her eyes focused on pale pink lips forming delicate syllables.

"I've finally found you," she said cheerily. Kairi made a confused sound, but the blonde continued. "You'll love me, won't you?" she asked, blue eyes wide, "you won't abandon me, will you? You won't use me," her smile began to falter; "you won't treat me like a doll. You'll respect me, and understand me. You won't be cruel…" she trailed, shutting her eyes for a moment, trying and failing to hold back tears. When she opened them again, they shone brightly behind the thin layer of water, her blue gaze fixed firmly on Kairi's violet one. "You'll love me… won't you?"

"Naminé…" Kairi whispered, dumbfounded. This girl… this girl whom she had just met was asking her to love her? It was so sudden; she didn't even know her! And yet, she felt as though she had known the small blonde girl her whole life. It was then that she realized that she had been holding the other girl's hand this whole time, and she didn't want to let go.

Kairi lifted her free hand, placing it on Naminé's pale cheek and disrupting the path of tears with her thumb. She had to comfort her, somehow, so she leaned forward, pressing her lips softly against the other girl's.

Naminé let out a small gasp but kissed her back, exhaling against Kairi's mouth. She leaned into the touch of the hand on her face, wrapping her own free arm behind the redheaded girl's back, clutching her shoulder. She put a degree of desperation into the kiss, leaning forward whenever her companion pulled back. Kairi smiled slightly against her as she threaded fingers through thick blonde hair.

The kiss ended when it started to become open-mouthed, both colored with a light blush at what they had been getting to. Naminé had stopped crying and was smiling that soft, kind smile again, even if drying tears streaked her face. "You'll love me, won't you?" she asked again, her voice stronger.

Kairi stroked the back of the hand she was holding with her thumb. "Yes," she answered, smile strong and the same as Naminé's. "I'll love you, Naminé. I'll love you."


Kairi/Naminé is my femmeslash OTP from KHII, even if there's really no way for it to logistically work. I've had people ask me to write Olette/Kairi. I'll see about getting that out next.

P.S. This is my first attempt at writing Naminé and femmeslash, so, review+Sora pout+
