The Chat & The Nap

I'm working on improving my writing so yay for that!


Roxas waved to Namine as she drove away. 'That's really.... weird... Namine doesn't remember beating up that Junior...' He took his checkered cell phone out of his coat's pocket and began texting Sora. He told Sora to text Kairi and Riku and bring them over to his house as soon as possible.

It took some convincing to get Riku to come to Roxas', mainly for two reasons; one he didn't exactly like Roxas that much, yeah they were friends but out of the four of them, Roxas and Riku fought the most. And secondly, he didn't know Namine at all so he didn't feel inclined to help her at all. Eventually Sora and Kairi convinced him that once Namine acted like herself on birthday, Riku would be friends with her. She was like a toned down (REALLY Toned down) Kairi. By the time Roxas had gotten home (He had to walk since he missed his ride.), Sora, Kairi, and Riku were sitting on his couch eating his chips.

"Hey..! Those were for later!" The blond barked.

"You were taking too long and we were hungry." Sora countered with a smirk.

"Besides, we didn't even eat them all" Said the red head pointing to the bowl of chips. The blond sighed a little with relief then went over to a chair near the couch the others were sitting on.

"So... We're here because of today with Nami, right?" Kairi mumbled as she got closer to the end of her sentence.

"Yeah... You know how our school has a surveillance system hooked up?" Roxas asked as he took a few chips from the bowl. The others nodded.

"Well, we don't have the entire thing, but parts of the fight was caught in the right corner of the screen." Roxas took a DVD out of his bag titled "N FIGHT" and put it in his DVD player. As he pressed play he pointed to the north east corner of the screen. The group heard "DO YOU EVEN KNOW ANYTHING ABOUT ME? HONESTLY? OR DO YOU ONLY KNOW THE RUMORS?!", which they could tell was Namine, then heard another girl-- the Junior scream back "YOU? Are you serious? You're just some dirty slut who sleeps around with every guy she knows. I bet you take after your mother! Who knows how much your father pays to keep you here. I bet you've gotten kicked out of every school you've ever been too!" Kairi's eyes widened when she heard people chanting "The White Slut!" over and over. Sora could feel his mouth drop when he saw a bag getting thrown then what he presumed to be the Junior and a bit of Namine's head. All three noticed how Namine just kind of stopped moving. (Roxas had already watched the DVD back in Where Nothing Gathers with the other Org. XIII members.) The lockers that Namine was thrown at were more on screen and they watched as their friend got held down and beaten. Kairi was shaking, still with her eyes widened. The red head knew what happened but felt even worse now that she saw it. Even Riku was pretty shocked that the little blond had that kind of fight in her.

Roxas stopped the DVD and turned his face back to the three on the couch. Watching it again made him angry that he couldn't protect her. His face was a combination of anger and seriousness. He waited a minute so Kairi would calm down before continuing the conversation.

"We need to do something, and we've got a week until Namine gets back. All the other Org. members will help out. First things first, Lunch..." Roxas looked down a little.

"She'll be sitting with us, still. Selphie doesn't know Namine, I think once she does, they'll be friends." The red head interrupted.

"Alright, that's solved. Classes... Those are also temperarally solved. Me and Zexion are in her classes." Roxas continued.

"We need to fix the girl's bathroom and all of Namine's desks." Sora added in to the list of issues.

"And her uniform." Riku stated.

"About that... I was thinking of a special Org. uniform for her... Change her skirt to regular color but she'll get a white Org. coat. They'll know that she's a special student, but also under the protection of Org. XIII. But..."

"We can't spoil her with kindness." Riku mumbled.

"Well I will!" Kairi announced with fierce determination. Sora laughed but he quickly stopped, right now was a serious mood. Roxas still glared at him a little.

Trying to make up for his little outburst Sora brought back the conversation. "Namine'll need an escort to and from classes."

"That's solved, I'll go with her." Roxas remarked. Kairi giggled a bit, as serious as this issue was, she couldn't help but feel excited at the thoughts of improvement between Roxas and Namine in this short time. When the blond boy hear the giggle his face went a bit red. He just turned his face down and tried to continue.

"So.... uh..."

"Well.... Who sits with us.... Tidus, Yuna, Rikku, Yuffie, Axel, Zexion, Demyx.... Sometimes Larxene... Wakka a few times, but he's usually with Lulu. Besides that they're both Seniors. Zack hasn't sat with us much either... Actually I haven't seen him much. Is he busy or something?" Sora took over because of Roxas' sudden inability to speak.

"Zack's dad is training him to become VP at his company." Riku interrupted again.

"Well, anyways... Selphie's there too. When Namine gets back next week we should have a proper welcoming lunch party for her." Kairi continued where Sora left off.

The room was silent for a few moments. Roxas looked at his TV again still paused with a shot of Namine on it.

"Ya know... It was like... Namine was a different person. Or maybe she just snapped. But that didn't really seem like the Namine we know. Even though we don't exactly know her well... But still... That's odd." Roxas said in a low voice, not lifting his eyes off the screen, nor paying attention to what he was actually saying.

"Yeah... Like if regular Namine was White or Pure Namine, then this was Black or Dark Namine..." Sora looked at the screen too.

"So... Shiro Nami and Kuro Nami?" Kairi questioned. The red head was 1/4 Japanese so she decided she wanted to learn the langauge.

"....Yeah in a way... Maybe that Junior said something she shouldn't have?" He rewound the DVD to the beginning when the junior was talking.

"Namine... Seems to have something wrong with what happened to her mother... Maybe when the girl said what she did about her... something made Namine loose it?" Roxas asked out loud for all to hear, but was mainly saying it for himself.

"Nami's... Mom? What happened to her...?" Kairi didn't want to seem persistent.

"Uh... Maybe she'll tell you... I don't really think she'd like to hear that you found out from me, who found out from school records. She really doesn't seem to like talking about it or hearing it be mentioned though. Just give her time?" Roxas refused to look at the girl when he spoke.

"So... Something bad happened." Kairi wasn't stupid, by the way he spoke she knew one of two things; her mother either left or died. Or both, but she decided to drop it.

After about an hour more of talking the group dispersed with a plan for the following days while Namine was out. Each day, one of them would visit her, then on the last two days the whole group would meet her and take her some place. Then on the day she'd go back, they'd walk with her in the halls. Riku even agreed to it because he had become interested in Namine, just from the stories they told and the video they saw.

Namine was yelled at for three hours straight by her father. She was sent to her room without food, but she really didn't care much, she didn't feel up to eating anyways. Her face hurt too much. The blond lied down on her bed and tried to sleep but as soon as she did, she'd wake up because of a nightmare. After doing this for almost an hour she sat up and walked to her balcony. She sat in front of her easel and began painting. She wasn't really painting anything in general, just her feelings. By the time she finished it was nightfall. The picture was of a huge heart-shaped moon. Yellows and whites from the moon faded into blues and blacks of the night sky which faded into pinks and reds. White was speckled all across the picture for stars. Namine was actually fairly surprised with her work and smiled. She didn't realize how much paint she had gotten on her school blouse and decided to take a bath.

She made sure the water was right then twisted her hair up into her towel. Before she had gone in she made sure to take off the bandages. She wasn't in for long until she was out. Her dream-- No... Her memory, was one that would never leave her mind.

It was raining and little 10 year old Namine was staring out her window waiting for someone. She saw lights, then heard the door.

"Namine! Namine! Come here! Please!" Her mother sounded frantic. She didn't really know why but went to her mother anyways.
"What's wrong Momma?" Said the little blond clinging to her mother's dress.

"Namine, we need to leave! Right now." She kept looking back at the clock and door.

"Alright Momma, but do we need to tell Daddy? What about my stuff?" Questioned the girl, now a little afraid.

"Don't worry about your things, Namine! We need to go!" She picked up the little girl and tried to get out the door.

The two rushed to a car and her mother gave directions to someplace that Namine didn't remember... Something like... Stardust Drive... Something with a Star...

The rain was strong and the driver could barely see. Namine noticed her mother constantly looking out of the back window.

"What's going on Momma...?" She looked up at her mother trying to get her attention. "... Momma...?"

There was a swerve, then a loud sound. Everything just sort of went white for Namine. When she finally opened her eyes, the rain was still pouring but people were surrounding them. She tried to sit up but something was holding her bottom haft down. She didn't really understand what was going on, her vision was mainly blurred. One thing she could see though was yellow, pale yellow and red. Red everywhere, even on herself. The instant she saw the yellow though, she knew it was her mother. She inched herself closer to her mothers body but was having a hard time because of whatever it was that was keeping her down.

"Na... Mine..." She heard whispered "I'm.... s.... S-sorry... Pl..." Blood was trickling down her mother's mouth. "I.....It wasn..... father's.... fault.... pl... P-please... Don't blame..." Namine couldn't really see her mother's blue eyes. "I.... I'll... Always.... always.. love..." But before she could finish, the whispers were silent.

Namine could hear screams from people but she zoned them out, she just kept looking at the body of her bloody mother.

"Momma...?" Namine was drenched in rain and blood so no one could tell that she was starting to cry.

"Momma?" She continued, along with the tears. She tried to shake the lifeless body with one arm while trying to get whatever was on her off.

"MOMMA! WAKE UP! PLEASE MOMMA?!" Namine was screaming hystarically. She turned herself to what was holding her down and finally really looked at it. It was her mother's arms. Namine began sobbing even more, she shut her eyes.

She heard sirens then felt someone lifting her. "NO! MOMMA! NOOOOOO!" She screamed. She flailed her arms trying to reach for the body she was just next to.

The next thing Namine remembered was waking up in a hospital room with her father looming over her. For a split second, she thought she saw her mother, but soon that vision faded. She sat up a little and looked at her father.

"Daddy... Where's Momma?" Was the first thing she said to her father.

He gave a bitter look and turned around. "Your mother... She's gone." Then he proceeded to the exit of the room.

Namine opened her eyes, they felt wet. She had no idea how long she'd been in the water, but it was now cold. She couldn't believe she had that dream again. 'Maybe I need therapy again...' She thought to herself.

Namine got in her shower to warm herself up. When she was done, she reapplied her bandages and put on a nightgown. She took out her blue iPod nano and hopped in bed. Before she actually tried to sleep she checked the time on her iPod that read 12:24 AM. It took her a few hours to actually get asleep. The blond could feel that she would not be having fun these next few days.


Finally, Namine's past with her mother is releaved?! *gasp* (Well atleast to the readers anyways... And a few characters that cheated and checked the school records.)

Please Review!
