Every Heart

Kingdom Hearts II

Oh my, it's been forever since I decided to write this again. Welp, a lot of people said they wanted me to update, (sorry it took about a year!!!) I'll just get right to the point. I'll start writing these stories again.

Also if you're into Final Fantasy XII, I have a Vann Penelo story. So look for it!

I do not own Kingdom Hearts or Disney

Chapter X: Morning Kiss

Roxas watched Namine disappear down the stairs. His eyes wide in disbelief. His heart raced furiously.

"What's going on!?" He screamed in his head.

He ran up to Namine, but stopped behind her. He slowly walked behind her, watching how many steps he took, trying to not get close to the girl. She glanced behind her shoulder, seeing two ocean blue orbs staring down at her. She stopped and turned, glaring at him.

"Why are you following me!?"

"What are you talking about Namine? Don't you know who I am!?" He asked. She stared at him again.

"No."

Roxas's heart stopped, at the way she said no. He felt as if his heart was being crushed as she continued to walk again. Suddenly Namine started to waver, Roxas saw this and walks up to her. She stumbles, catching herself on the wall.

"Namine!" Roxas catches her around the waist.

Roxas gasps seeing her face. It was completely red, tears in her eyes. He could feel her body heat, it was hot. He breathing was rapid, and he body was limp.

"Stop calling...huff huff that..." Namine fell to her knees, Roxas bends down catching her.

"Stop calling me..." She murmured.

Roxas carefully picked her up and held her in his arms. He could feel the sweat on her face.

"She's burning up!" He exclaimed.

He hugged her close and ran to Merlin's House. He bursts through the doors, with a panting Namine in his arms.

"Sora!" He yells.

"Namine!?" They all exclaim, seeing her.

"What's happening, what's going on!?" Kairi asked confused.

"I'll explain later! Namine has a high fever and is burning up!" He said.

Riku walks over to Roxas and takes Namine from his arms. Roxas glares at the older boy, his mind filled with jealousy. Riku only glared back. Riku walks over to the bed and lays Namine's limp body on it, he covers her up with the blanket. Kairi rushes over to Namine's side. She feels her forehead.

"Poor Namine." She whispers.

Kairi rushes over to the sink, grabbing a small towel, wetting it with cold water. She then rushes back over, putting it on top of Namine's head.

"Alright, now start explaining Roxas? Where and how did you find Namine?" Riku asked.

"Don't order me around, I was going to tell you guys later after her temperature goes down." Roxas said madly at the silver haired boy. The two glared at each other again.

"He's right Riku. Right now, lets constraint on getting Namine's fever down." Sora said, trying to calm Riku.

Riku nodded, understanding her situation.

Later that Night...

Everyone had fallen asleep once again. Namine's temperature had finally lowered and she was able to fall asleep. Kairi slept by her side, her head resting on the bed. Riku leaned against the wall asleep, Sora and Roxas sleeping back to back. Namine stirred in her sleep, opening her eyes. She could hear rain pounding down on the rooftop. She rubbed her eyes, trying to wake up. She looked up at the clock, it was 4:23 A.M. She sits up. She sees her shoes near the doorway. She quietly stands up and walks over to the doorway, grabbing her shoes. She slips them on and quietly opens the door. She closes it behind her. Riku opens his eyes, staring at the door. He quietly walks over to the window, seeing Namine disappear into the rain. He grabs the doorknob, turning it, when suddenly Roxas appears, grabbing his hand.

"Don't think, I'm going to let you go after her alone. Besides, your my rival." He said with a cocky grin. Riku couldn't help but smile at Roxas's challenge.

The two opened the door, walking into the pouring rain.

"I'll say this once. I'm only doing this for Namine's sake, not for yours." He said.

"Yeah, yeah." Roxas said. They ran up the stairs and made there way to the Hollow Bastion castle. They see Namine, she stands on the cliff, staring down at the castle and the new darkness surrounding it.

"So. You actually came." A voice said. A dark portal appeared, opening a door. A man in a black trench coat walked out casually. Roxas and Riku watched intently.

"Why wouldn't I? I've been wanting to see you all night." She said smiling.

"Yes, I no. I was beginning to wonder where you disappeared to." The man said.

"I'm sorry, I left without your permission. Please, forgive me." She said, close to tears bowing.

"What's going on here?" Riku said.

"Not sure. But I wanna know who that guy is!" Roxas said madly.

Riku nodded agreeing with him (for once!) Riku stood up, lookngi down at Roxas.

"Don't ,make any sudden movements, we can't blow our cover. You stay here and watch Namine and this guy. I'm going to get Sora and Kairi." Riku said, turning around. He started off, running, but stopped. He turned his head to Roxas.

"What ever happens while I'm gone, just make sure she's okay. Don't lose it if anything happens." He said.

Roxas nodded, watching the two again. Riku ran off going to get the two.

"Don't be sorry. All I care about is your safety." The man walks over to her. He grabs her arms, pulling her toward him, he hugs her tightly. Roxas felt his face turn red with anger and jealousy.

"A-A-" Namine stammered.

The man put his finger on her small lips.

"Stop talking." He whispered.

The man threw his hood, off of his head, and pressed his lips hard onto Namine's. Her eyes were wide, but soon closed. Roxas couldn't breath, he could hear his own heartbeat. He stared at the two's lips which were locked together. He was in such a daze that he hadn't realized who they mystery man was. His eyes widened. There, with his lips pressed against Namine's, Axel pressed forward deepening his kiss. Namine's arms around his neck.

"N-Namine..." Roxas whispered, his voice cracking.

Yes, yes, I know, the chapter have been on the short side, but I have a lot of going on right now. Well, I hope you've all enjoyed the chapter which took ALMOST a year to put up.
