Darkness appeared in the kitchen, and out stepped a happy, golden blonde haired teen with a craving for sea salt ice cream. However, upon arriving, the youngest member spotted a certain someone that he was watching very closely. After seeing their hungry, desperate eyes watch his angel more intense every couple days; Roxas didn't want to let them out of his sight. The strong sense of protection over Namine returned with a strong grip. Number XIII grabbed another sea salt ice cream and proceeded on his way to Namine's room. For to fulfill the need to protect her, he must be near her.

He portaled away, glancing back at the member with a fast, ever deepening loathing.

Stepping through the portal, Roxas found his angel working intently on a sketch. Because of where he appeared, her back was facing him. His conscious was telling the blockhead not to startle the working nobody; but his curiosity trumped his conscious as he walked up to her with silent footsteps.

Peeking over her shoulder like a ghost, the keybearer found the masterpiece to be of…himself.

The sun was on his face as he was smiling up at the artist. Namine was scribbling diligently, trying to get the sun rays on his ear to be shadowed correctly.

Wow, its amazing…All she does is scribble and suddenly... it all comes together to create a stunning image. She sure is incredible. Hm…I can't let her know I saw her drawing, she'll be embarrassed.

With his conscious returning, Roxas traced back his steps even more quietly then before and announced his presence to the quiet artist.

"Nami?" Roxas said, not too loud so as to not startle her. Namine shut her notebook and the stunning Roxas was hidden away. She turned to peer at him with her incredible ocean eyes. And only for a second, her jewel-like eyes halted Roxas's speech function.

"Hello, Roxas," Namine smiled sweetly. Roxas smoothly regained his ability to speak and think properly.

"I come bearing gifts!" He said, whilst smiling back. Namine laughed and pulled out a seat next to her own.

"Lovely! What's the cost?" She eyed him carefully. Roxas chuckled.

"Nothing! I just thought you might like one. Why? Should I be apologizing for something?" Roxas questioned, Namine shook her head while beginning to nibble on her ice cream.

"No, just curious," She smiled again briefly and they both sat in silence; enjoying the sea salt taste on their tongues and each others company.

"Number VII"

"Yes, Superior," Saix responded almost immediately. The rest of the nobodies in their chairs sat obediently.

"Bring Namine here," Xemnas commanded.

"Yes, Superior," The robot spoke as he leapt off his chair and into a sideways portal.

Roxas watched the nobody he loathed out of the corner of his eye.

Saix landed with an echoing thud in Namine's empty room. Namine, however, made no motion to acknowledge that VII had come. She was moving her swift hand across paper with fervent strokes.

"Namine, you must come with me," Saix spoke rashly; but he was better of talking to a wall.

Namine still hadn't moved. She was working on getting into Xemnas's head. She wanted to know his plans, every move. However, there was something making it difficult. The code to his head had almost been cracked when the robotic nobody had arrived. Saix became more forceful.

"Namine. Come with me now." Boomed Saix, from that, most anybody before would have been on their knees, begging for forgiveness. So the berserker was pissed when Namine continued with her work. The towering Organization member strutted up briskly to the small girl and grabbed her on both sides of her upper arms from behind.

"Get up. Come with me." Saix hissed in her ear. Namine spoke for the first time.

"Hold. Important. So close," Namine spoke in short bursts. This, however, wasn't good enough for Saix.

He held her arms even tighter and Namine lost her grip. She gasped as her utensil fell on the table. The pale girl tried to pick it up but with no success. Circulation had been cut off in her arms, she whimpered.

"Put! Down! SO! Close!" Namine desperately tried to cling to the table and her paper.

"You WILL come…" Namine was forcefully lifted from her chair. Scrapes arrived on her legs when she tried to stay rooted in her spot, "…with ME!" Saix yelled, head glowing red as he threw her across the room and into a newly fashioned portal.

Organization XIII minus Saix watched with open mouths as Namine appeared, flying across the counsel room from a portal.

"AAAAAAHHHHHH!" Namine screamed as she was in midflight, 'UGhhnn," Moaning as she slid to the marble floor after colliding with a wall. I was so close…so close…I was almost in his head…ow…I hurt all over… Namine thought helplessly. She inhaled sharply from the pain of trying to move, only to let out her breath shakily after seeing a very mad blue haired nobody walking towards her. Saix picked up the fragile girl with one hand around her neck. He smiled grimly as she tried to pry his fingers away.

When Roxas saw Namine in the air, his keyblades formed in his hands. I have to go help her! The guardian thought frantically. But he put his keyblades away after receiving a stern glare from Axel. He understood. Helping Namine would mean that she would be put in even more pain. So Roxas sat. Grieving and using every ounce of his self control not to jump down and help his angel. Almost loosing his internal battle when…

"Number VII!" Namine was dropped, left to a writhing white heap on the cold floor, "That is enough!" Xemnas was not impressed, "Explain yourself,"

"Se refused multiple times to come with me," Saix spoke, feeling confidant. Xemnas locked his gruesome eyes on poor Namine, still on the floor.

"Very well then, bring her to me," Xemnas said ominously. Saix smirked and complied. Picking Namine up by her waist and flinging her over his shoulder before jumping up to Number I's chair.

Roxas's hands were bleeding. A sharp wound was forming on each hand from where he was grasping the tight edges of his chairs armrests.

Xemnas took the now frightened girl into a muted portal while Roxas began to loose even more blood holding himself back.

Namine turned herself upright after being tossed onto the ground. Xemnas had taken them to his favorite spot, the high tower with a view of Kingdom Hearts. He had his back to the girl.

"Don't be troublesome Namine; it will only lead you to more trouble. The consequences with only become more severe…" While Mansex ranted. The memory manipulator took her chance to try and unlock the top dogs memories.

"…So you see," Xemnas continued on with his non-heart-filled rant, "Self preservation is simple,"

There! Namine held in her excitement. She had cracked the code to Number I's memories. In one second she had found a way into every memory he had. Finding and sifting through everything for good info was another story. But Namine couldn't be happier with her success.

"Will you make the same mistake twice?" Xemnas glared intently at the now confidant brimmed nobody. Namine kept up her show by timidly shaking her head, "Very well, but just to be sure…" Xemnas dragged her into a smoky portal leading to her contrasted room, "You will have no food for four days," Namine bit her tongue. Mansex left her silently. The soon to be hungry girl curled up in her bed, it was a trying day.

Roxas's eyes widened to the size of pizzas when he saw that Namine had not returned with Xemnas. The terrified blonde focused on counting the seconds until he was free to leave the counsel room.

957 seconds later Roxas burst into Namine's quiet room. Faster than a speeding…whatever shoots out of Xigbar's guns…Roxas had pulled the shocked girl out of her soft bed and was crushing her in his strong arms.

"Namine! I'm so glad you're safe! Do you hurt?" Thank kami! She's alright! I don't know what I would do…I would kill Xemnas that's what! And Saix! Oh they would pay alright!

Namine just hugged him back and buried her face into the crook of Roxas's warm neck.

Demyx portaled in with a worried look etched on his face.

"Nami are you alright?" The sitarist asked sincerely. Namine looked up from Roxas and smiled at her caring friend.

"I'm fine Demyx, I'm just sore a bit,"

The room began to feel warmer.

"Hey squirt! How are ya? Ooh…what do we have here?" Axel grinned maliciously as he eyed Roxas and Namine's close embrace. The blondes both blushed quite a bit as the let go of each other.

"It's nothing dude," Roxas assured his friend, although not really believing himself. The four great friends all smiled.

The troops were taking a break while Namine healed, because she refused the potions.

To entertain themselves, the bed-rester gave the boys paper, which was sent on two possible routes:

The first: Being turned into something origami-like by Roxas. Or being drawn on by Demyx, and then sent to the success pile.

The second: Being turned into something by Roxas or Demyx, and was then sent to the trash pile, or rather, Axel. Who would then enjoy putting the art into flames.

"So…What's the damage you little rebel?" Axel asked nonchalantly while lighting fires. Namine looked down, ashamed. Roxas was confuzzled.

"What do you mean? She was beat up!" Roxas's brows were nearly connected they were so mussed up, "What else could they do?" Demyx spoke up to straighten out Roxas.

"Saix beat her up, Xemnas didn't, he gave her a punishment. That's how it works. You either get killed or you get another chance with consequences," Demyx finished sadly.

Roxas looked stressed; being the newest member, this was news to him. Why can't they just leave her alone? The blonde looked up instantly at his angel at Axel's next words.

"Soo…What is it little non-conformist?" The pyro asked again. Namine looked off to the side and mumbled.

"What? I couldn't hear you?" Demyx spoke. Namine heaved a sigh.

"No food for four days…" The pale girl looked up gloomily. Then three things happened. A pencil broke, and origami crane was crushed, and a paper was fizzled to ashes.

"Geez Nami, I'm sorry…" The musician consoled. Axel nodded and threw he a paper rose that was ripped and wrinkled. One keyblade wielder was silent. Namine barely got out his name.

"r-r-Roxas?" Namine rustled the sheets as she was getting out of bed to go to her guardian.

"No!" Roxas looked up and squeaked. Namine froze, "You need to stay in bed and get better. And don't worry, I'll sneak you food every day," Roxas said with stress marks on his forehead. Namine smiled sweetly at him and got situated under her covers.

"No Roxas, you will not bring me food," Namine stated with a blank face, "I will not have to take that risk and I am perfectly capable of scavenging my own food," When Namine gave them all her clever smirk, they knew she would be fine.
