By the way thanx to all my reviewers who reviewed before from the beginning, plus to the newly ones who reviewed. Well here goes chapter 4! Enjoy!"
Chapter 4 A new day with new friends
Roxas got back to the house at the dead of night. He slipped back into the covers with Namine still fast asleep. Roxas brushed her light blonde locks behind her ear before putting his arm around her slender waist, his hand grabbing on the light silk fabric of her garment, taking in Namine's sweet scent.
Roxas mumbled before he fell asleep in deep slumber, "Namine forgive me." After that he was consumed by the darkness of sleep.
Morning came quickly. Sora groaned as the light from the sun's rays hit his face. Sora slipped out of bed making sure not to wake Kairi up. He turned to face her to see her fast asleep her chest rising up and down as she took steady breaths. Sora smiled and kissed her forehead lightly.
Sora took the time to head for the bathroom in the hallway. Sora opened the door to his room and made his way through the hall, but before Sora could open the door to the bathroom his mother stepped out with a light blue robe on.
Rinoa rubbed her eyes to get a better look of her fifteen year old son, small drips of water on her face from the sink. Sora gave Rinoa a small 'hi' by just lifting up his left hand. He was still drowsy from waking up so early.
Rinoa smiled warmly, "Good morning Sora." Sora said with a yawn escaping his lips, "Hey mom." Rinoa stepped out into the hall, "I'll be making breakfast soon okay." Sora nodded as he entered the blue marbled bathroom.
Rinoa stood a little longer before sighing, "Squall…if only you knew how much Sora grew." Rinoa then made her way down the stairs her slippers patting softly on the rugged floor.
Sora did his daily routine in the bathroom, taking a piss, brushed his already shiny white pearl teeth, and dropped down naked to take a warm morning shower.
Sora began washing his dark chocolate spiky hair, the bubbles smoothing its way down his small, yet solid peaks. Sora rinsed out his hair with the pouring water. He then used the soap to wash his restless body. After everything was cleaned he turned off the valve of the water and stepped out to be welcomed by Kairi who just so happen opened the bathroom door.
Sora stood dumbfounded as he stood naked in front of Kairi, who had a face that looked like a tomato.
Sora grabbed the nearest towel yelling in embarrassment, "Oh my God GET OUT! GET OUT!" Kairi was still stunned. She closed the door by mistake, locking it. Sora closed the glass, marbled screen of the bathroom, making his body abstract a bit on the other side.
Sora still kept yelling in exasperation, "GET OUT! GET OUT!"
'What the hell? What the hell? WHAT THE HELL?' screamed an angry Roxas inside his head. Roxas shot up from his position holding onto Namine who was still asleep.
Roxas stared down at Namine with disbelief. He whispered astonished, "How can she sleep with this entire ruckus?" Roxas placed Namine down softly as he took off out of the room stomping to the source of the commotion.
As for Kairi and Sora; Kairi was trying to open the door, Sora shouting behind her, "Kairi! The door is locked!" Kairi blushed more of her stupidity. As soon she unlocked it and hurried out she bumped into a fuming Roxas.
Roxas half shouted still feeling tired, "What the hell is going on?" But Roxas didn't need an answer when he saw the red glow Kairi was resonating from her face after walking out of the bathroom.
Roxas smirked, "I see getting a peek aren't we? Wow seeing Sora naked must have terrified you Kairi." Roxas said laughing.
Kairi only blushed more as her response. She started heading back to the room feeling ashamed and screaming, "Oh my virgin eyes!"
As soon as Kairi entered back inside the room Namine took the time to wake up from her deep slumber, her head peeking out from the room her and Roxas shared.
Namine walked up to Roxas having a tiresome look, "What was that all about?" Roxas kissed Namine on the lips softly almost tickling her, "I'll tell you later."
Sora finally had the urge to step out of the bathroom. He looked at Namine and Roxas. He only sighed as he made his way towards his room. Roxas only sniggered still leaving Namine out of the loop.
Roxas went inside the bathroom along with Namine behind him. Roxas closed the door. Roxas started to brush his strong wax teeth seeing no need to use the bathroom, Namine taking off her pajamas to take a shower. Somehow this felt natural to them.
Roxas took a quick glance at Namine's smooth back ending to her curled bottom. He turned back around to the mirror when Namine took notice of his stare. Shrugging Namine went inside the shower taking advantage of the remaining heat Sora left.
Namine started humming. Roxas smiled as he splashed clean water on his face clearing out the gook in his eyes.
Roxas smile then flipped down to a frown, "Three days of happiness and peace and then I would have to sink back into despair of darkness." "What was that Roxas?" Namine asked behind the closed shed that was fogged up from the heat of the water.
Roxas opened the door replying sadly, "Nothing." After that he closed it.
After twenty-five minutes on getting ready for today's event. All four teenagers went down stairs smelling the sweet aroma of maple syrup and baked pancakes… along with sausages, toasted bread with jam or butter, bacon, and scrambled eggs.
All of them were astound of the morning feast, especially Sora who had drool escaping the side of his lips.
Rinoa put down a box of orange juice greeting with a big smile, "Well dig up kids."
The four of them sat down. Kairi sitting next to Sora despise their accident this morning and Namine next to her beloved Roxas.
Sora hounded down on the food leaving no crumbs. Namine ate slowly seeing no need to haste, but no reason to waste either. Kairi ate respectfully taking her time and decided that she wasn't that hungry. Roxas didn't eat yet at all though.
Namine felt worried and concern, "Roxas are you alright? You haven't eaten yet." Roxas shook out of his daze and stared back at Namine with a bewilder face.
Roxas only gave a ghostly smile, "I'm fine. I just guess I'm not that hungry." Sora took out his arm talking with his mouth full, "Pass it here then, if you're not going to eat it." Rinoa scolded Sora smacking him lightly on the back of his head, "Sora how many times have I told you not to talk with your mouth full?"
Sora swallowed the chunk in his mouth and answered, "Fifty-eight times including fifty-nine now." Rinoa crossed her arms before turning to the dishes.
Sora turned back to Roxas, "So are you going to eat, or not?" Roxas only shook his head. Sora took the signal as he grabbed Roxas's plate and started dogging down on it. His stomach didn't even blow up.
Roxas stood disgusted at Sora's eating behavior, but only sighed.
After eating breakfast, Roxas and the gang left the house saying good-bye to Rinoa until seeing her later.
Sora put his hands behind his head, "So what are we going to do? I mean we can't really make a move on things until, Riku gets back with news from the King."
Kairi put her arms behind her back, "Let's see Selphie, Wakka, and Tidus. We need to introduce them to Roxas and Namine remember?" Sora nodded remembering with a spark of mischief in his eyes, "Oh yeah!"
Namine smiled agreeing with the idea, "Okay that sounds great. Where would they be now?" Sora gave a deep thought before answering, "Let's see its Saturday I believe. They're probably at the blitz ball field at the school yard practicing."
They all then made their way to the school grounds sneaking to the back of the huge coliseum that was held in the back. Roxas and Namine gawked at the size of the sphere pool that stood in midair. It was magical and enchanting.
To their left they saw a girl with light, short brown hair that was curled up to the side of her rounded face with a small swirl on the back of her skinny neck. She had a yellow tank top on with a jean skirt.
Kairi greeted the girl by her name, "Selphie hi!" Selphie turned to the sound of Kairi's voice and jumped up with glee.
Selphie ran towards them embracing Kairi with a friendly hug, "Hey Kairi, hey Sora. How've you been? Feels like forever since I saw you." Sora gave Selphie a questioning look, "What are you talking about? You saw us two days ago." Selphie took out her tongue while giving herself a small bonk on the head, "Oh that's right."
Roxas only stared at the girl and only thought of one thing, 'Oh yeah she's air-headed.' Namine giggled though with amusement.
Selphie took notice of Roxas and Namine, "Hey who are your friends?" Selphie eyed Roxas up and down liking what she saw. Roxas instantly took hold of Namine's hand. Selphie gave an annoyed look.
Sora introduced Namine and Roxas, "Oh this is Roxas and Namine. There are new friends that we met during our travels when we left home." Namine took out her hand, "Nice to meet you." Selphie took Namine's hand with a smile, her jealousy leaving her, "Hi I'm Selphie, nice to meet you too Namine."
Roxas still held on tight to Namine's left hand, still a little afraid of Selphie's seductive stare. Selphie then took her hand out to shake Roxas's hand. Roxas not wanting to be rude accepted it.
Selphie smiled and asked curiously, "Please to meet you Roxas. Are you and Namine going out by any chance?" Both Roxas and Namine blushed from her question, which gave her an answer.
Selphie smirked, "I could see that you two are an item. Sorry I was eyeing you earlier Roxas." Roxas gulped as he nodded with a blush. Namine though was a bit annoyed.
Sora changed the subject, "So where's Tidus and Wakka?" Selphie looked back at Sora and pointed to the blitzball court of the large rounded sphere pool.
Roxas looked closely his eyes squinting to spot two actual figures swimming and chasing a ball inside the huge water ball. One seemed to have red hair that stood all the way up causing a small swirl on the tip, wearing on what it seemed to be clothing from a yellow colored outfit for a team. The other had the same design of clothing, but a bit different having blonde hair that swept to the sides of his face.
Selphie yelled out to them with a megaphone that she so happen to have lying on the bench, "WAKKA, TIDUS! HEY YOU GUYS GET OUT OF THERE AND SAY HELLO TO OUR NEW FRIENDS!"
Everyone closed their ears from the volume of Selphie's squeaky voice through the megaphone. Roxas said sarcastically, "Hey Selphie I don't think they heard you." Namine glared at Roxas for his sarcastic comment, but soon Wakka and Tidus jumped out of the water sphere pool landing on the nearest edge of land.
Wakka and Tidus ran towards Selphie and the others dripping wet. Wakka greeted with his Hawaiian accent, "Hey wat's happening brudda?" Selphie placed her hands on her hips with a stern look, "Honestly you think you guys could dry yourself up first." Wakka and Tidus gave a big goofy grin.
Tidus said hello to Sora and Kairi, "Hey you guys!" Sora and Kairi said hello back. Wakka then spotted Namine and Roxas, "Wat's up brudda and dudeit?" Kairi introduced Namine and Roxas to Wakka and Tidus, "This is Namine and this is Roxas." Tidus shook both Namine and Roxas hands, "Cool! Nice to meet you guys!" Roxas and Namine smiled, "Same here."
Wakka then shook Namine and Roxas hand, "Ya liking your stay on the island?" Namine nodded, "Yes very much." Wakka grinned twirling the blitzball that had several bumps on it on his index finger.
Tidus took the ball suggesting, "Hey Roxas, Sora wanna play blitzball with us?" Sora nodded while Roxas was confused. Sora sighed explaining the game to Roxas.
After awhile Roxas got the idea on how to play. He nodded understanding, "Okay let's blitz then!" Tidus responded in excitement, "Alright!" All four boys made their way to the sphere, Namine cheering Roxas, "Do your best Roxas! Even if you lose, you'll look sexy either way!" Roxas blushed while the other boys chuckled.
Roxas and Sora made one team while Wakka and Tidus made the other. Wakka yelled out, "Ya ready bruddas?" They nodded as the serve was made of the blitzball.
Wakka and Roxas were neck to neck chasing after the ball. Wakka said with amazement, "I'm surprise ya can hold you're breath this long brudda." Roxas gave a determine look as he gave Wakka a light tackle to the side, to be sure not to hurt him. Making Wakka lose his balance Roxas grabbed the ball, swimming towards the goal where Tidus was ready to defend and Sora ready for about anything.
Namine and the other girls watched the boys with excitement. Selphie squealed, "Wow! Roxas sure is a fast learner! He's so hot!" Namine restrain herself to not burst out in anger at Selphie. Kairi saw Namine's controlled frustrated face and gave a wry laugh.
The girls turned their intention back to the game seeing Roxas just making a score; after awhile the game resumed on, Roxas and Sora claiming victories.
The four exhausted boys stepped out of the sphere pool soak and wet, but dried themselves off quickly. After Roxas dried up his hair Namine ran to his arms congratulating him, "Roxas you were great!" Roxas took hold of Namine by her waist holding her tightly.
Wakka smiled at the couple, "Ya you had some cool moves out there man." Tidus came in babbling in excitement, "You kidding me, you dominated the blitz field. You didn't even need Sora!" Sora glared at Tidus knowing it was true.
Kairi patted Sora to enlighten him, "Don't worry Sora. You still did well." Sora slumped feeling pathetic.
Roxas and Namine laughed. Roxas then looked at his new friends and felt relieved, but something bothered him. He looked down at Namine asking, "Namine are you alright? You sure you can hold out longer?" Namine was taken back from the sudden question about her situation.
Namine answered honestly, "No I'm fine so far." Roxas smiled and kissed her gently on the lips, giving it a small lick to tease her, "Good, because I was wondering if you and I can have some time together later." Namine put her hands on his chest happily, "Really!" Roxas nodded.
Sora turned to Namine and Roxas asking, "Hey do you guys want to hang out somewhere, or something?" Namine looked at Roxas with pleading eyes, "Roxas you wouldn't mind if we hang out with Wakka and the others do you for today?" Roxas sighed in disappointment wanting to really be alone with Namine, but gave in when he saw Namine's puppy dog eyes.
Roxas embraced Namine. "Okay." Namine embraced Roxas back as they all started heading out of the school's backyard blitz field. When they came around to the front Selphie suggested, "How about we go shopping?" Tidus sucked his teeth, "No! Let's go to the arcade!" Selphie and Tidus argued back and forth.
Wakka split them up, "How about this we bruddas go to the arcade and the sistas go to the mall." Namine didn't like the idea of being separated from Roxas and before she could protest Roxas spoke, "That sounds like a good idea. Ne Namine what do you think?" Namine looked down in depression before giving a fake smile and nodded.
Not to long the boys went their separate ways as did the girls. Somehow though Namine felt cold and was fading each minute.
The boys walked up to the arcade feeling pumped up and ready to trash these games. Tidus ran to a Tekken stand game motioning Roxas to join. Roxas walked up to him. Tidus put in munny for him and Roxas to play. Tidus pointed to the empty side game stick, "Play that one." Roxas reacting quickly placed his hands firmly on the stick and chose his character. Tidus picked Bryan, while Roxas picked Jin.
The two boys fought each other digitally. Wakka and Sora decided to play a racing game meanwhile waiting for their turn claiming losers place on whoever wins. About two minutes in the game and two rounds Roxas won. Tidus jaw dropped, "I can't believe you beat me! I never lose in this game!" Roxas only scratched the back of his head embarrassed, "Sorry this game isn't that challenging to me."
Tidus praised Roxas, "Man your good!" Roxas blushed from the compliment. Wakka and Sora then strolled over. Sora asked placing his hands on the back of his head, "Who won?" Tidus answered a little upset, "Roxas." Wakka was shocked, "Woah! You beat Tidus! Tidus never lose in this game." Roxas smiled feeling confident, "Yeah he was just telling me that."
Sora lifted his hand up, "Me next!" Wakka placed a hand on Sora's shoulder, "Forget it brudda. If Tidus lost you have no chance." Sora shifted from Wakka's hold, "Hey you don't know maybe Roxas was lucky!" Sora took munny out of his picket inserting them in the machine, "Play me!" he demanded. Roxas shrugged as he entered the game as well.
While fighting each other Tidus yelled, "Sora you suck! You keep using the same moves!" Wakka jumped in, "Yeah brudda! Stop defending already! We know ya going to lose!" Sora was holding a few life points left. They where in the last round which so happen to be a tie breaker. Sora took the chance and made his move with his character Eddy, but Roxas was quicker and calmer with his movements with Lee. One kick and Eddy was K.Oed.
Sora crashed down to the floor when the machine said, "You lose!" Roxas bend down a bit to help Sora up, "Hey at least you did better than Tidus." Sora accepted the offer and took Roxas hand heaving him up. Wakka asked, "Man do you ever lose to anyone brudda?" Roxas answered sincerely, "Yeah once by Riku."
That's when it hit Tidus, "Riku that's who we're missing!" Wakka turned to Sora asking, "Where's Riku brudda? He's not with ya?" Sora didn't know how to explain where Riku was. Roxas though told them the truth.
Namine left Kairi and Selphie at a clothing store called Dots, she decided to go to her own store. She found one that caught her interests. The labels were in a red abstract design.
Namine reads the words aloud, "Hot Topic." Namine entered the store adoring the merchandises. She picked out a few new cloths for her and for Roxas as a gift. Namine then spotted a dress she liked, but before she could grasp on the garment her hands slipped right through as if she was a ghost.
Roxas finished the story leaving a stumbling Sora and two jaw dropped boys. Tidus managed to speak out, "Holy shit!" Wakka stammered, "Really Brudda? Damn." Roxas looked at Sora who was shock that he just told Wakka and Tidus the story. And he told them EVERYTHING, starting from day one, well besides the ones about him and Namine.
Roxas shrugged, "What? I wasn't going to lie." Sora shook his head pitifully to Roxas. Roxas then felt a sudden pain shoot through him. It didn't pain him physically, but rather mentally. Sora, Wakka, and Tidus though didn't notice it. Roxas froze when he heard a voice inside his head belonging to the same ominous man, 'Roxas let your heart return to the darkness, and forget about Namine.'
Roxas only had one thought in his mind, Namine when the voice mentioned her.
Before the boys knew it Roxas dashed out of the arcade looking for the girls.
Namine froze in shock. A voice ringing in her head, 'His heart consumes with such rage, lust, and cruelty. Whatever made you think a little witch like you can save him from the darkness and join him into the light? He's forgetting about you my dear Namine.' Frightened Namine started to panic.
She dropped the cloths she had in her arms to the floor. She embraced herself trying to keep herself solid and not disappear. Namine had tears coming out of her eyes. She ran out leaving a group of dumbfounded people who were lost and confused.
Namine tried to find Kairi seeing that was her only way to keep herself existing. Namine felt her arms clearing away now.
She stopped looking down to her legs that began to disperse into a clear color.
Kairi spotted Namine in a panic. She dropped the bags of cloths she had in her hand running to her side, Selphie following the same action.
Selphie stood over the two look a like girls, fear resonating in her eyes as she glanced at Namine, half of her body gone.
Roxas made it to see Kairi with Namine. As he feared Namine was vanishing again, but why all of a sudden? She was doing find before. Soon the boys caught up to Roxas, shocked to see Namine almost gone; without hesitating Roxas screamed out, "Namine!" The boys ran to the girls.
Roxas looked at Kairi and demanded, "Kairi let Namine back inside your body! Now!" Kairi looked unsure, "I don't know Roxas. With all these witnesses here…" Roxas scolded her with a glare, "I don't care God damn it! I can't afford to lose her now!" Kairi shivered from the venom in Roxas voice, but complied with his wishes.
Namine moved towards Kairi, Selphie having no idea on what's going on giving her support by her shoulders. Soon Namine totally vanished within Kairi. Kairi and the others looked at Roxas who had a frightened, yet angered face.
Roxas lowered his head in shame, whispering to himself, "I'm sorry for yelling everyone. I'm not myself lately. I just don't want her to go. I don't want to lose my Namine."
And soon they walked out of the grand market mall heading towards their homes, Roxas not speaking to anyone, but the darkness in his heart beckoning in full volume.
Kiome-Yasha: "I am so sorry for the late updating, but skool has been a royal pain in the ass. My Art class which is my major wants me and the rest of the class to finish this mural up for the skool. Plus the fact that I'm falling behind in my classes because of it isn't good considering my GPA is a 3.5. And I can't afford to fail so they have me booked, but I tried to make my dues and update the next chapter since you guys had been begging for an update. So here you are and I'll try to get the next chapter up soon."
