Recap:

"Wait hold on a second here!" Namine shouted.

"Then it's settled," the silver haired man spoke, "We just found our new maid"

"SAY WHAT?!"

End of Recap:


Namine Narumi- The Poor

At times like these, Namine wonders what she did to deserve harsh and cruel punishment. Did she do something that offended God? Or did God like to laugh at her misery and her misery alone? All these thoughts went through her head a mile a minute as she stared at the five men who dared call her a maid.

"She's so happy, she's speechless," the red haired male commented as he snickered at her expression. This seemed to knock her out of her daze as she glared at the offending male in a menacing manor.

"More like I'm so devastated, I'm plotting ways to kill you," Namine retorted. Being around rich people she could slightly tolerate, but working for them? No, that was a big no-no! Maybe if she did it now with no witnesses, she could get out of here with five males dead on the floor and not get arrested. Hmm, at this point it seems like a good idea…

"Nami-chan, do you not like us?" asked Demyx as his eyes started tearing up and a cute pout was on his face. No! Not the pout! Namine can't stand pouts! That's how Kairi always convinced her to do stupid things she wouldn't be caught dead doing! Like this job interview for example.

"No, but-"

"Then if you like us then take the job, simple as that" the blonde told her. Namine growled in annoyance.

"Will you listen to me for one-"

"Besides, you have no choice," the brunette spoke without malice, "you said yourself that you would lose your home so unless you want to be homeless, you have to take the job" he told her with a grin. Namine just gawked at him.

"True, you wouldn't want to be homeless would you?" asked the silver haired male of the group.

I'd rather be homeless than work for a bunch of rich inconsiderate flirty bastards! She thought angrily, but she held her tongue knowing full well that Kairi or/and Tifa and Leon would surely force her to take the job. There was no way that they would let her live on the streets. Heck, even Olette and Fuu will probably force her too if they find out she is going to be homeless. Why did Namine have such commanding friends who look out for her like she was the puppy?

With a defeated sigh, she hung her head as a cloud of despair formed above it. Yes, as of now, she whole-heartedly believed that all of heaven wanted her miserable for the rest of her days.

"Fine," she strained out the word, "I'll take the fricken job," she muttered miserable; however, they all heard her and identical smirks broke out on their handsome faces. Demyx gave her a bone-crushing hug and exclaimed.

"Yay! Nami-chan is going to be our maid!" he exclaimed happily. The other males were sure China heard their friend. The red haired male pried Demyx off Namine and dragged him away from her.

"Don't kill our maid Demyx! We just got her!" Axel told his friend who whined about not being able to hug Namine. All the others shook their heads while Namine's eye twitched in annoyance. They talked about her as if she was an object or something.

Typical rich people, I guess, she thought tiredly. She really wanted to get back to her apartment to feed her cat. It was almost lunchtime and she didn't get a chance to feed him this morning. She hoped he wasn't too mad at her. Maybe she should buy him a toy with the money she has at the moment as an apology and to make up for his missed breakfast. As you can see, both cat and owner love the meal of breakfast.

"Well, since I got the job," she muttered a couple of curses before she continued, "I guess I'll see you guys on Monday or whenever I'm supposed to start this miserable job" she said and was just about to leave when the blonde stopped her.

"You start now," he told her causing her to look at him in disbelief.

"You mean to tell me that as soon as I accepted the job I have to start working? What kind of system is that?" asked Namine Isn't there a couple of days before you actually start working?

"The system is the worker starts as soon as the manager needs them, right?" asked the blonde and Namine nodded dumbly.

"Then you start as soon as we tell you, which in this case is now" he told her as he poked her forehead throughout the explanation. She slapped his hand away and rubbed her forehead to rid of any marks his poking made.

"Fine," she grumbled. She prayed to God that Moogle was okay. Maybe Olette would feed him since she's not there. She usually does when Namine's not home, in which Namine is very grateful to her neighbor for.

"Well, now that that's settled, we should properly introduce ourselves to the little lady," said the red haired male of the group. The others nodded in agreement. The red haired man cleared his throat and spoke first.

"Since Demyx already introduced himself, I'll go next. Name's Axel. A-X-E-L got it memorized?" he said and sweatdropped when Namine nodded and took out a notepad from nowhere and wrote his name down. Well, at least she got it memorized…

The silver haired male went next as he took her hand in his own and kissed it earning a few glares (including Namine) as he did so. "I'm Riku, it's a pleasure to meet a beauty such as yourself" he told her causing her to blush a little. This was the first time someone besides Kairi and Tifa called her beautiful. She briefly wondered if Riku was on crack or something (Tifa and Kairi are family so they are supposed to think she's beautiful even though she's not). The blonde growled and snagged her away from Riku, causing her to stand four feet away from him.

"I'm Sora" the brunette said as he came up to her, "the blonde is Roxas, it's nice to meet you" he said sincerely. Roxas just grunted still glaring at Riku. Namine scratched the back of her head and laughed nervously.

"Um, well, I'm Namine Narumi, but you guys know that already so I guess that's it" she told them. Demyx gave her another hug while spinning her around.

"Nami-chan is so cute!" he shouted and again had to be dragged away by Axel while the others sweatdropped. After that, they all exited the room and were met by screaming girls with hearts in their eyes causing Namine's sweatdrop to double in size while the males gave them sexy smirks that caused the females of the room to scream louder in ecstasy.

"Hey Namine, there you are" said Tifa reaching her best friend/little sister. "Now that your interview's over and done with, let's get some lunch with Leon, okay?" she said and was about to leave with her when the five males began to speak.

"First of all, we would like to thank all of you lovely ladies for coming" Sora said giving them a smile. "However, we have made our choice and this interview is now at its end" he told them sadly. The girls whined and began protesting.

"Who is it?" asked a female in the back. All the others stopped whining to listen as well all silently praying to God that it was them. Unfortunately, Namine's misery is much more fun than their happiness so God didn't grant their wish.

"Miss Namine Narumi" Sora told them. All of them looked confused and angry, who was Namine Narumi? And what is the most painful way to kill her?

"She's the blonde with the glasses trying to sneak out of the door with the older woman" Roxas stated as he pointed to their new maid causing Tifa and Namine to freeze and the girls to glare at them, well, more like glare at Namine.

Namine squeaked as she felt the murderous aura out of each of them and whimpered. She knew God was enjoying this. However, Sora stepped in before they could do anything.

"Please don't be mad at Namine, it was our fault" Sora said sadly. "I hope you can forgive us for hurting beautiful ladies such as yourselves," he said and all the girls cried too.

"Don't be sad Sora!" a girl cried.

"Yeah, we forgive you" another girl said and the rest nodded in agreement. Sora gave off a smile that made the entire fan girls melt.

"Thank you for your kind words," he told them. Namine sweatdropped; perhaps the friendliest was the most manipulative…

"We hope to see you ladies again soon," said Axel as he winked at them. As all the fan girls screamed in pleasure, someone approached Namine.

"Congratulations on getting the job, Namine" the blonde from before told her sincerely. Namine gave her a tired grin and patted the other's head causing the blonde to look at her strangely.

"Thanks, but I don't think it's something to congratulate me on; however, I think you would've have been a better choice what with all that spunk you got" Namine told her referring to their fight earlier. "By the way, we have to have a rematch sometime, um…" Namine told the blonde girl. The blonde smiled, a true smile, and replied.

"Rikku.We should have a rematch, but not because we're angry unless you think that's weird" the blonde, Rikku, gave off a sheepish smile. Namine shook her head and grinned.

"Nah, Squally and I wrestle all the time for fun. Of course, I always win" Namine added at the end of her reply grinning as she thought of all the times Leon lost to her. Her companion giggled at that.

"Squally?" Rikku questioned.

"He's like my big bro," Namine told her happily. "He's so cool and incredibility fun to tease! He also likes my-"

"Na-mi-ne" her name was drawn out of Leon's mouth as he somehow appeared behind her when she was saying that. She squeaked as he started giving her a super noogie as punishment for almost telling her new friend on his crush on her twin sister.

"What did I say about gossiping? More specifically what did I say about gossiping about me you little midget!" Leon said as he continued his punishment.

"Come on, Squally! It's not like I-"

"-Told the whole world" he finished for her, "but I'm starting to think otherwise" he said. Namine was set free and began glaring at her 'older brother'.

"What cha gonna do? Tell on me to Kairi?" asked Namine while she stuck her tongue at him, which resulting in another noogie for Namine as Rikku and Tifa sweatdropped.

"Didn't they have this conversation this morning?" asked Tifa having a sense of déjà vu. Rikku just stared and asked.

"Do they do this all the time?" she asked.

"Not all the time, but most of it" Tifa told her. There was a moment of silence between them as Namine and Leon's fight echoed in the background as well as the screaming fan girls who were saying good-bye to Namine's new bosses.

Namine's new bosses, Tifa thought sadly, Never thought I'd have to say that, or at least think that in this case. It was true; Tifa never thought that it would turn out like this. After all that hard work and memories that were made, it's hard to believe that Tifa would be watching Namine get a new job without her there to work with.

As Tifa was left with her thoughts, Rikku had some of her own. So that's her, Rikku thought as she remembered Namine's story, That's the one who is Namine's reason for living… she must be really important to Namine if Namine can say that with so much conviction, she thought. Rikku turned to look at Namine who somehow escaped Leon and was now the noogie-giver and he was the noogie-receiver. It was truly a funny sight as Namine was on Leon's back with one arm under his chin and the other was giving him the biggest noogie Rikku ever seen.

How I envy you Namine, Rikku gave off a bitter smile. She could have anything she wanted, but she knew that she didn't have a reason for living. But maybe I will, she thought with hope as she looked at the girl who inspired her to believe so.

Perhaps being friends with a commoner isn't so bad as she once thought, it's actually pretty fun…


Namine waved good-bye to Tifa and Leon as she walked off with the five handsome men. She was very happy that she had made three new friends and Tifa promised to check up on Moogle for her in case Olette didn't do so already since the men told Namine she wouldn't be back until late afternoon.

Namine was quiet the whole walk until they reached the car- or should she say limo!

"What the hell?' Namine asked herself. "Aren't we going to walk or take a bus or something?" she asked. All the men looked at her strangely, before Yuffie chimed in.

"Don't be silly Namine, Uptown doesn't have buses and people barely walk around here" Yuffie told her.

"Besides, walking is a waste of time," Roxas said indifferently as he got inside the limo. Namine glared at the offending vehicle as if it was the cause of every bad thing that's happened to her.

Bunch of rich bastards! She thought angrily and climbed in. Since Yuffie and Zexion were assistants, they got to ride in the limo too. Namine sat in between Yuffie and Zexion as she gazed around the limo. It was very roomy; it could probably fit a couple more people without having to squeeze in with a mini fridge and plasma tv. Namine chose not to pay attention to the material things and looked out the window.

Again, bunch of rich bastards, she thought dryly. She then realized something and turned to Yuffie who was talking to Zexion about how she wanted to try commoners' instant coffee one day when she moves out of Uptown.

"Hey Yuffie," said girl turned to Namine, "you do know that basically in any other place you will have to walk or take a bus if you don't take a taxi or have driver's license, right?" Namine asked. Yuffie looked at her in excitement.

"You mean that they don't use limos?! Oh wow! I can't wait to see what else is out there!" Yuffie exclaimed as Namine sweatdropped. Zexion took this as a chance to clear something up for their friend.

"As you can tell from Yuffie, the Kisaragis and any other family in that matter, use limos and such unless they have a driver's license. We often use my limo or car to drive to work, or we just ride with these guys; however, we don't really have much traffic like in regular New York so it's pretty decent on the streets" Zexion explain as Namine nodded in understanding. In the slums, you barely saw any cars since no one could afford them. (A/n: Thanks again to hanakitsunechan7 for pointing out Yuffie's last name)

"So Namine," Riku began, "Tell us about where you live," he suggested. Namine looked around to find that everyone had their eyes on her. She gulped and fidgeted a little at the attention.

"Well," she began, "It's my home and I wouldn't trade it for anything," Namine said. She didn't want to go into detail about her home, especially about all the terrors and risks she takes just by walking out her door. Besides, she didn't want pity and they wouldn't understand anyway.

They seemed to have accepted that answer but they looked like they wanted to ask more. They finally reached their destination and Yuffie and Zexion got up and headed to the doors. It appeared that they would not be with Namine through this ordeal. Namine began to panic at that thought and began spluttering.

"Bye, Namine! See you tomorrow or whenever you have to work!" Yuffie exclaimed and shut the car door leaving a gaping Namine and five smirking men. Namine gulped when she felt their eyes on her.

"Um… why are you all staring at me?" asked Namine nervously.

"No reason, but maybe it's the fact that you're scared out of your wits being alone with us" Axel said and sat next to her and placing his arm around her. Namine wiggled out of his hold and fell to the floor again. Once she got up, she glared at the males and stated.

"If I'm going to work for you guys, we need to set some ground rules, okay?" stated Namine. She would not tolerate these men doing what they pleased to her, especially without boundaries.

"Save it for lunch" Roxas told her. True to his word, the limo stopped in front of a restaurant. Namine stared gaping at the place in front of her when she got out of the car.

The place was super classy with a huge fountain at the front with a Chinese dragon statue on top of the fountain. It looked to be made out of pure gold and around the fountain and sides of the restaurant were decorated with fresh white lilies. The glass doors were framed by gold doorways and had gold handles. The outside entrance hall floor where the limos dropped off their clients was decked out in a beautiful design of lotus flowers in the patio. The sign above the doors was in gold and said Golden Dragon while the rest of the restaurant was made out of white marble. Namine continued gaping even when Demyx dragged her inside and she was met with red carpets, chandeliers, many classy tables with white tablecloth, fountains at each end of the room and many, many rich people wearing very classy clothes. Translation: clothes that Namine would never be able to afford in this lifetime or any lifetime for that matter. She suddenly felt out of place in this restaurant.

"Hello, can I help you?" asked a man in his late twenties. Namine silently groaned; even the waiters looked classy, she was so screwed!

"Actually, yes, we would like a table for six" said Roxas. The waiter looked confused for a moment before asking.

"Are you waiting for someone?" asked the waiter looking around. Since Namine was so small, the five men in front of her easily blocked her out of view and for that, she was grateful. She didn't want attention drawn to herself. Believe or not, Namine knew when she did not need people looking at her despite the fact that she's impassive about appearances and such. However, this wasn't the slums and she felt so out of place she couldn't help but feel insecure.

"No, we're all here" Axel said as he dragged Namine along allowing the waiter to look at her. Looking at Namine strangely and with some disgust, he turned and led the six to their table and all the while catching looks from the women to look at the handsome men and whispered excitedly, but that would change when they saw her and began whispering about her. She soon found that every table she passed by they looked at her and whispered not-so-nice-things-that-she-would-rather-not-say. Namine sunk her head lower and pulled up the collar of her trademark blue plaid madras as if she hoped it would hide her from them.

Sora, sensing Namine's discomfort, went to the back of the group with her and placed an arm around her shoulder and rubbing her arm in a soothing manner. She felt the glares and the comments not so much as Sora was beside her. He seemed to have a calming effect that he passes on to others and for that moment she was grateful and forgot about the fact that she didn't like them touching her.


Once they reached the table that had a booth instead of individual chairs, Sora let go of Namine as she sat beside Roxas with Riku next to him, followed by Axel, Demyx and Sora was across from Namine as they sat in the booth. The waiter smiled kindly, but Namine could've sworn it was strained when he looked at her.

"Here are your menus and while you decide would you like anything to drink?" he asked.

"I'll have a cup of black coffee," Axel told him.

"Water" Riku said

"Coke" the three remaining males said.

"Um… Orange soda, please" Namine said quietly, yet very politely. The waiter furrowed his eyebrows at her and replied.

"Sorry… miss, we don't have orange soda," he said sounding not sorry at all. This caused Namine's eye to twitch. What kind of restaurant doesn't have orange soda? There's something very wrong with that! It was sick and wrong!

Rich people don't know what they're missing! Namine thought. She made a note to tell Kairi about this injustice, which she would crack up as Namine ranted on the injustice, then probably rant about how orange soda is too good for them which would cause Kairi to laugh harder. Namine made a note to do that the next time Kairi was depressed. That would surely cheer Kairi up.

"Excuse me, but the last time I was here you did have orange soda, and that was three nights ago," Axel said in a nonchalant manner, but you could tell he was pissed off, in fact, they all had an angry vibe radiating off of them. The waiter squeaked at the angry aura he felt from the red haired man.

"Y-yes, of course, I forgot! We do have some in stock! I'll be right back with your drinks" he quickly said and left like a dog with its tail between its legs.

"What's his problem?" Namine asked clearly not feeling the angry vibe from Axel or any of them for that matter since she was too happy about getting orange soda.

"Probably nothing" Riku said not wanting tell her that the waiter was treating her badly and that they wanted to punch him for mistreating her. Namine seemed to accept that as she went back to curiously glancing at the menu to see what see wanted. Most of this stuff she didn't even know what they were. She seemed to have given up trying to figure out what some of the choices were and put her menu down. She cleared her throat, gaining their attention, and began speaking.

"Anyway, about the ground rules," Namine began as the others stared at her waiting for her to continue.

"Rule number one: no ordering me around like some servant. I'm your maid, not your dog," Namine stated.

"Rule number two: don't make me work nights. I have to do things at home as well and my sister, older sister, and brother will hunt you down if something bad were to happen to me," she told them. If being in the slums during the day was risky, being in the slums at night was downright dangerous! Kairi would never forgive herself if something were to happen to Namine and Namine isn't one to make her sister suffer like other older siblings to their younger siblings.

"Rule number three: I don't want fan girls out for my blood so don't turn them on me for your entertainment" Namine snapped. They all winced at her tone. They made a note to never do that.

"Rule number four: don't make me work on holidays. I have a family and would like to spend the holiday with them," she told them.

"Finally, Rule number five: no touching" she ended it with crossing her arms and glaring at them. They all looked at her irked. They clearly weren't happy about that last rule. Riku cleared his throat and spoke.

"First of all, you are our maid, which means we make the rules about how you will work. However, we respect your morals so we will not treat you like a dog. Secondly, you will go home when we tell you to and if it's too late for you to go home, you will spend the night at our residence and are allowed to come in late to work next day so you can take care of your tasks at home. Third, it depends on the holiday and if you didn't make plans on that holiday, you will be required to work to that day. Finally, as long as it's not violating and indecent, we are allowed to touch you. Fair enough?" Riku ended his explanation. Namine thought about the terms and nodded, though she was still sore about the last one, but she knew they wouldn't follow that rule so why bother protesting, and as Riku said, they would not violate her or do anything perverted to her.

The waiter came back with their drinks and practically slammed Namine's down while he was gentle and careful with the other drinks causing the males to glare at the waiter. He took out his notepad and asked what they wanted. Each of them gave their order and when it came to Namine she said.

"Just Chicken and broccoli with rice" she said. The waiter gave her a look of confusion and disgust before replying.

"Sorry miss, could you be more specific?" he asked. Now it was Namine's turn to be confused. Wasn't she specific enough?

"Um… there are different kinds?" she asked confused. The waiter snorted at her confusion.

"Of course, only a commoner would be so dense" he snared out before he could stop himself. Namine growled at the man's prejudice at her. This is the kind of crap she gets everyday and she took it, but due to pent up frustration and exhaustion from today and being in an unfamiliar environment was screwing up her emotions. However, before she could punch the guy, Riku spoke up.

"Sir, do you know the manager?" he asked. The waiter turned to him as if he wasn't just insulting Namine a second ago and smiled.

"Why yes, his name is Ryusuke Sarutobi" he told Riku. Riku just gave off a smirk and replied.

"Good, so my father knows who I will be talking about when I tell him that a waiter was treating a friend of mine with disrespect" he told the man as the man went pale and began spluttering apologies to Riku. "Don't apologize to me," Riku told him with a glare, "Apologize to my friend, Namine" he told the man. The waiter looked as if he would have rather been fired, but he turned towards Namine with a strained smile.

"My deepest apologies miss, I wasn't considerate, so what do you want to order?" he asked. Namine thought for a moment before Demyx answered.

"Nami-chan can have won-ton soup like me, right Nami-chan?" he asked the girl. Namine smiled and nodded.

"Sure, I love won-ton!" she said with a smile and the waiter went off with their orders. As soon as he left, Namine turned to Riku.

"So, your dad owns this place?" she asked him. Riku nodded and replied.

"He owns a chain of restaurants and a couple of hotels here and there, but he really focuses on the restaurant business," Riku explained to her. Namine nodded in understanding and Riku continued.

"Namine, I should apologize too," Riku told her. Namine looked at him strangely before he continued. "I never thought that he would make a comment to you or that he would mistreat you in anyway. I truly am sorry," he said. Namine put up her hand and waved it off.

"No sweat, it isn't your fault. I get this all the time," she said without realizing that she slipped up on something. The other occupants stiffened at her response.

"You get it all the time? From who?" asked Roxas angrily.

"Oh relax, it's just passersby on the way to my old job. It's not like they feather and tar me or burn me at the stake, sheesh" she said. The others didn't even want to imagine any of those things happening to Namine. It was too disturbing.

"So anyway Riku, it's not something that you have control over so don't worry about it, kay?" she asked and drank her orange soda. Man, she loved this stuff! With that said, none of them asked about her mistreatment because of her status anymore. Soon the boys went into a discussion about regular things (well, regular to them anyway, Namine doesn't own any yachts and stuff so she stayed out of it). While they talked about stuff Namine didn't care about, she looked around the restaurant in sheer boredom while sipping her soda.

Every single one of the people here were dressed classy. Suits, ties, dresses, skirts. Hell, she looked to be the only girl who was wearing pants! It isn't her fault she likes pants better than skirts. She never knew how Kairi could wear those things when there are perverts out there just waiting to get a look at some girl's panties. But then again, even if Namine was wearing a skirt, she would still kick their sorry ass for trying to get a peek at her.

Besides, how was Namine supposed to know that she would land this job? It's not like she's physic or anything (although Tifa begs to differ since Namine has what you would call a 'flashback sense'). However, she is not a fortuneteller so she cannot tell when she was supposed to at least try to look decent. But then again, even if she did look decent, it probably wouldn't do a thing to what the rich folk thought of her and Namine was just fine the way she is thank you! Why waste her time pretending to be someone she's not just to impress people who don't like her and vice versa. It was pointless really. And with that thought, Namine chose to ignore the rich folk making comments and sneers and think about other things while she's in this foreign realm.

However, Lady Luck also likes to see Namine in a tight spot and joined forces with God on making the blonde miserable. The proof is clearly shown to Namine when a waitress comes to deliver their food. The waitress looked to be a couple years older than Namine and had a great body with long black hair in a braid. She flashed the men a flirty smile and winked at them flirtatiously. Namine wondered if this restaurant had a bag because she felt like she was going to gag! Bleah!

But when this goddess turned to Namine, all smiles were gone. No surprise there, Namine thought dryly as she looked at the waitress with a bored expression while sipping on the straw to her soda causing slurping noises louder than necessary. The waitress glared at her before she turned to the five men with a fake solemn expression.

"I'm sorry sirs, but we don't allow animals in the restaurant," she told them. Everything was silent before Sora calmly got up and poured his drink on the waitress with everyone in the restaurant staring wide eyed as the waitress screamed at having the sticky substance poured on her good clothes. All men stood up, Roxas grabbed Namine's hand, and all began leading her out of the restaurant. However, before they left, Sora turned to them with an icy cold glare that made Namine sliver.

"The only animal I see in this place is you," Sora stated then they all left the restaurant leaving a shocked and silent crowd behind them.


Everything was silent in the limo with everyone's hearts heavy and the tension was high. Namine winced at the eerie silence upon them. She sat in between Riku and Roxas as Roxas held her hand the whole time. She didn't protest for even she could sense the bad mood coming from them all. So, she just sat quietly looking out the window and thinking about her friends back at home to preoccupy her.

However, the men's thoughts were far from calm. Each of them was pulsing with anger as they thought about the waitress's statement, the comments from the other customers, and the rude behavior from the waiter. Only one thing ringed over and over again in their heads.

"I'm sorry sirs, but we don't allow animals in the restaurant"

They didn't know why, but when they heard that statement directed at their new maid, they felt angry, really angry. This anger was new to them and they had no idea why they even cared. Or why they even cared about a poor girl.

They just did


"Stop the car!" Namine suddenly shouted, startling the men out of their thoughts. The driver stopped the car and Namine jumped out with glee on her face and a bounce in her step. The five men quickly followed after her, wondering what was the urgency. Finally, after a couple of seconds, they knew.

Namine saw an ice cream shop…

Namine loved ice cream. When she was little, Fuu and her ate ice cream all the time bought by Fuu's brother. But when they moved away, Namine didn't get to have the pleasures of the cold treat anymore so she bore without the sweet treat.

The men watched her in amusement. She looked just like a child at a candy shop… er… ice cream shop… Roxas approached the young blonde and asked her.

"What flavor do you want?" he asked taking out his wallet. Namine turned to him confused before she got the drift and began objecting.

"You're mouth was practically producing a river with all the drool coming out" he told her and ordered something for himself. The others soon joined them and ordered their own treats as well since they didn't get any lunch.

"Can I have strawberry?" asked Namine to the old lady. The woman gave her a genuine smile and handed her the cone with the tasty treat.

"My, what a nice boyfriend you have there, young lady" the woman told her smiling causing Namine to freeze in mid lick of her ice cream while Roxas just took out the money needed to pay as if the statement didn't bother him at all.

"Oh no, we're not-"

"Thank you, ma'am" Roxas cut her off and paid the woman. Namine glared at him as he grabbed her hand again and gave off another cocky smirk. All of them climbed in the car with the tension completely gone. They all began to talk as if nothing had happened in the restaurant and talked about regular things that made them laugh and smile as if they were all friends.

It was a very strange feeling, Namine noted, but it wasn't completely unwanted…


"Nami-chan, why don't you have contacts?" asked Demyx as they all sat in the limo with Namine in between Demyx and Axel.

"Yeah, you look much better without those Steve Urkel glasses," said Roxas as he ate his favorite ice cream: sea-salt ice cream. Namine glared at him before replying.

"I don't like contacts that much," she told them, "Besides appearances never mattered to me" she said and licked her strawberry ice cream cone.

"Well, that's obvious with the way you dress" Axel stated as he poked her cheek causing her to glare at him.

"Well, excuse me, I guess we can't all wear designer clothes and jewelry and whatever rich people wear, geez" Namine said hotly and pouted causing Axel to laugh.

"It's not like we're saying it's a bad thing," Axel told her. "We just think that you would look much cuter if you didn't dress in baggy clothes," Axel said and poked her cheek again. Namine snorted as if to say, 'Don't care'

"I think Nami-chan looks cute in anything even if she wears baggy old clothes and those big glasses that you would find on anime girls!" Demyx said as he hugged Namine almost causing both their ice creams to fall.

"Demyx! Let me eat my ice cream!" Namine whined. Demyx let go and went back to his own ice cream with a grin. Namine just shook her head and smiled.

Perhaps this wouldn't be so bad after all…

Chapter five- preview:

"Are you fricken serious?" asked Namine as she stood in the entrance hall to the mansion that she would be working in with cleaning supplies. "It will take forever to clean this place up!" Namine shouted at the men who decided to put her through hell. They looked at her in a nonchalant manner as she glared at them.

"You didn't think this would be all fun and games did you?" asked Roxas. "We needed a maid so we interviewed for one. What did you think we were interviewing for? A good time?" he asked. Namine didn't dare answer and picked up her cleaning supplies and began trudging up the marble stairs with a gloom cloud over her head.

"We'll be back later in the evening so we expect the place to be spotless" Riku told her as they all headed out the door to the limo and shut the door behind them leaving Namine alone to her cleaning.

Karin Ochibi-chan: that's it for now! See ya soon!
