Another chapter is here!! I'd like to thank everyone who has reviewed and was actually surprised that I had received my 5 reviews so fast. Lol I guess everyone wanted to know what happens next, well then let's get on with the story.

I watched helplessly as Riku began to charge at the blue-haired man from my nightmare, worry for his safety overcoming me. I didn't want anything to happen to him, yet there was no way that I could help either. Several strange black spheres of energy had surrounded the evil fellow and crashed into him without warning.

"You're as weak as ever," I heard Riku say cockily.

The man continued to glare at Riku with a murderous intent as the silver haired boy walked silently over to him and placed his keyblade at his throat.

"Now to end your pathetic existence Saix," he said, but before performing the finishing blow, the weapon that was stuck in the wall from earlier had embedded itself into Riku's shoulder.

"Riku!" I shrieked in horror as the man known as Saix pulled the weapon hastily out of Riku's arm.

I wanted to run over to him in the moment, but what could I do? I was just a defenseless girl who depended on someone else to protect me. I had tried to lodge my way in Saix's mind and manipulate his memories earlier, but something was preventing me from tampering with his head. I turned my head away, unable to bear the sight of Riku getting hurt.

"Don't worry Namine. I'm okay," I heard him say and quickly looked up to meet his aquamarine stare. Even in the worst of situations I was able to find comfort in his gaze, somehow I felt more reassured as he turned around to look at Saix.

"It seems you have underestimated me Riku, as I have said before I have conjured up a way to defeat you," he stated as he focused his cold topaz eyes on me I cringed in fear as if his stare were burning holes right through my soul. Why was he looking at me like that?

'I wish he would stop,' I thought, placing my hands against my chest.

The sound of Saix screaming brought me out of my thoughts and looked back up to see Riku administer one good slash from his weapon and shot a black sphere into Saix's chest, causing him to fly straight through the wall.

"Who said I would let you get anywhere near her?" I heard him ask, his back was still turned to me.

When I was sure it was safe, I began to quietly approach Riku. I stopped right behind him as he turned to face me. I finally let a warm smile grace my features when I realized that Riku was still standing here alive. The thought brought joy to my heart and I couldn't describe how relieved I felt. I wrapped my arms around his waist and leaned up against his body, a shock of electricity going down my spine at my boldness.

"I'm…so glad that you're okay Riku. Thank you for protecting me," I said as I tightened my hold on him, tears of joy falling down my face. The feeling of his hand on the back of my head caused me to nestle into his chest further.

"It's no deal," he said awkwardly after several moments of silence, "Saix is a pushover anyway."

I wanted him to know how I felt, now seemed like the perfect opportunity. Though I was indeed scared that he would reject me, apart of me still wanted to tell him. The feeling began to well up in my chest until I felt like I was going to explode from the inside. I would probably never get another chance like this so I might as well take the risk. I would deal with whatever happens next when I have reached that point, it's just that I wanted him to know so badly that it ate me up inside. A blush found it's way onto my face as I swallowed the lump in my throat.

"Riku…there's something I really want to tell you," I said as I pulled him closer.

"What is it?" he asked inquisitively.

I took several deep breaths to calm myself down, I have never felt so nervous in my entire life than in this moment. But I knew that I had to get my feelings out, that is what he wanted me to do anyway, tell him what was on my mind.

"Riku I-I lo-"

"It looks like it's time I interrupt this tender moment," Saix's voice cut off my sentence as I felt Riku being separated from me.

My eyes widened in terror as he pushed Riku toward the window at incredible speed. I began to run after them to try and stop them in anyway possible.

"Riku!!" I screamed as the window shattered and he fell from the second floor to the ground below.

I dashed over to the broken window as I watched his body hit the ground. I noticed that Saix had recovered from his fall and was attaching his flying projectile to a huge sword.

"I'll show you who the pushover is," he screamed angry and swung his large sword towards Riku's defenseless figure.

'Watch out!' I was about to scream, but felt no need when he leapt out of the sword's range. I let a small smile cross my features.

It was then I noticed something different about the view from my window, everything seemed darker than normal. I looked up to see a full moon shining brightly over the silent town in the distance, capturing almost everything in it's pale aura. Wait a minute…Twilight Town never experienced night or day. Something strange was going on here.

"It's not good enough!" I heard Riku exclaim as he threw his keyblade at Saix's feet.

I instantly back up from the window when I noticed that it was about to explode. The next thing I knew I was on the floor due to the outburst being so close to where I was. I quickly got up and dusted myself off and grabbed my sketchbook in my haste. I had to get outside to be by Riku's side just in case he needed to be healed, I wasn't taken taking any chances. Before I could leave my bedroom, five spears were blocking my entry to the hallway and I felt something sharp pressed gently against the back of my neck.

"Where do you think you're going?" a deep voiced asked coldly.

I turned around to see a scary looking man with black hair tied behind him and dull violet eyes staring at me without any emotion. I instantly turned around to try and move the floating lances out of my way, I could sense the smirk on his face without having to turn around. I turned to give the man the best glare I could muster up, waiting patiently when to catch him off guard.

"You're coming with me whether you like it or not," he stated as he tried to grab for me. I retaliated by stomping hard on his right foot.

He winced in pain, the spears that were blocking my way opened up slightly. So he must control those lances in some way, well I didn't have time to think about it and quickly squeezed through the small opening that they had provided.

'I need to get outside,' I thought as I looked over my shoulder.

I jumped out of the way as the man threw a lance in my direction, he was right behind me. I took a risk and leaped over the railing, a feeling of pain shot through my legs as soon as I made contact with the floor but I don't think that anything was injured. I noticed two of the spears were blocking my way outside so I decided to head for the glass door leading to the backyard. I could hear his loud footsteps slowly walking down the stairs, not in any hurry at all. I silently made my way to the door on the other side of the foyer, remaining extra careful to not be caught. The man's footsteps were growing louder with each passing second. I had finally reached the sliding glass doors without getting caught and quietly tried to open the door, but it wouldn't open. I suddenly became frantic.

'Why won't it open?!' I began to pull on the handle with all my strength, but was stopped when a lance was thrown towards me. It was only an inch away from hitting my head.

"It's futile to try and run."

I turned my head to see the dark haired man making his way towards me, an angry expression on his face, probably from what I did to him earlier. I backed away from him until my back pressed against the cool glass of the window, I was trapped and there was no way out of it. I tried digging into the man's mind in order to tamper with his memories, but found myself unable to enter his subconscious. He merely smirked at me.

"Your little powers don't work on people like me," he stated as he pointed all six lances in my direction.

I let out a blood-curdling scream, it was the only thing I could think of doing at the moment. He grabbed for my wrist and I pushed him away, fighting him off the best I could…which was pretty bad. The man growled in frustration and grabbed my forearm roughly, dragging me across the foyer of the mansion. I struggled trying to break free, I needed to get to Riku…I couldn't allow myself to be captured.

The spear-wielding man let out another growl of frustration as he pulled me through the front door. My arm felt like it was about to be ripped from it's socket, but I continued to fight against his attempt. There was no way I was leaving this mansion. I was surprised when we came to a stop and I looked up in confusion at the man, wishing that there was someway to escape from his hold.

"I wouldn't do that if I were you," he said.

I turned my head to see who he was talking to, my eyes lit up immediately.

'Thank goodness you're still safe Riku.'

His entrancing eyes softened for a brief second at the sight of me before they hardened at the man who held me captive.

"I'm going to give you to the count of ten to let her go," he said in a menacing tone.

"Riku!" I cried out as I struggled to be free of his hold.

I was scared and frustrated, I wanted to get to Riku. If this black haired enigma didn't free me he was seriously going to regret it. Riku didn't look like he was too happy at the moment, Saix lying on the ground battered and bruised behind him was proof of that. I winced as the grip on my wrist tightened, tears began to well out the corner of my eyes. Riku began to walk towards us his keyblade in hand, a deadly glare focused entirely on the lance wielder. I shivered in panic as the six spears began to dance around me, almost like a shield to prevent Riku from reaching me. I heard Riku laugh slightly before he began to charge straight towards the dark-cloaked man next to me.

"You should learn not to turn your back on your enemies Riku," I heard the all too familiar cold voice say.

I looked up and saw Saix in the air with his sword aimed for Riku. I gasped in horror I needed to warn Riku about the attack and fast. I tried to run over to him, but was instantly pulled back to the dark haired man's side.

"Look out!!" I exclaimed, but I was too late.

Saix had driven the dull end of his sword straight into Riku's back, shockwaves emanating from the sword as Riku fell to the ground. My heart dropped and the tears began to fall.

"Riku!" I shouted as I tried to pull away again, but my efforts proved futile. I continued to struggle though, I had to get to him…I couldn't stand seeing the one I love hurt, especially when I couldn't reach him.

"What shall we do with her Saix?" the violet-eyed man asked as he continued to restrain me from getting to Riku. I saw Riku lift his head up to face me, his eyes filled with concern and desperation as he reached his hand out to me. I lifted my free hand to reach out for his as well, but the distance was too far.

"N-Namine…" he said, having trouble speaking. I flinched when Saix had driven his sword into Riku's back one again.

I continued to try and break free of the mysterious man's grasp, wanting to desperately to be by Riku's side and pull him into my arms. Why did life have to be so cruel? Did someone really enjoy watching me suffer?

"Let me go!" I exclaimed.

"Take her somewhere far away from Riku," Saix commanded before applying more pressure on the Riku's ribs, causing him to cry out in pain.

I felt my heart stop in my chest. Far away from Riku? They couldn't! I would wallow into nothing if I were too far away from him. He made me feel whole, like I actually mattered in this world. They couldn't separate me from Riku...they just couldn't, I love him too much.

"N-No…you can't do that!" I cried out.

"As you wish," the man replied to Saix while raising his free hand to summon a dark portal to our left. I tried pulling out of his grasp while he was conjuring up his dark magic to create the portal, but he caught me at the last second.

"Riku, help me!" I screamed to him, turning to face him as I rebelled against going into the portal with the spear user.

I heard an aggravated growl escape from the Organization member's lips when I wouldn't cooperate and felt a slight pain on the back of my neck. My eyes began to grow heavier, I struggled to remain conscious. What did he do to me?

"That should shut her up for a while," he complained as he lifted me off the ground and carried me into the dark portal.

'Riku…I'm sorry,' I thought before falling into the depths of my subconscious.
