Thanks to nethernity, Chukobher(for some odd reason, your review made me smile. Thanks so much!) and Ellie0223. I have something I'd like to say to babyangelwintergirl. Don't worry, it's not a bad thing. I think a story can't be all action-y. There has to be at least one boring chapter, you know? Rising action, falling action...all that stuff! So I'm very glad you said that it was boring! Oh yeah, you guys don't have to pay attention to the list of weapons at the bottom. I just listed them in case you guys don't know what to answer with. All will be explained...

Angels in Flight: Towa no Shirube

Chapter 10: Valor of the Heart

(Naminé's POV)

Roxas and Rikku were telling me this nice story of why fallen angels weren't on the list, when all of a sudden the ground shook. "They wouldn't dare!" Rikku shouted, and I was about to ask what she meant when all of a sudden Heartless appeared!

"They dared." Roxas and Rikku teamed up. The latter had these blade-things with a handle, she didn't have keyblades. Roxas just used Oblivion. They decimated a herd of the devil's minions like it was nothing. I could never do anything like that. I really admired people that were strong. Not people with power, people who were strong. I think there's a major difference.

"I can't believe Yunalesca would go in here! Well, at least we finally get an excuse to get rid of her." Rikku reasoned, then looked at me, then at Roxas. "I'll go get Sephiroth and see if there's any way he'll give her Divine Sight. She won't be able to stay here with all these Heartless and who knows; maybe Yunalesca's after her too. Sora, you stay here!" She just ran out of the room, and no Heartless appeared after that.

"I told her to call me Roxas..." He muttered, then shook his head. Roxas looked at me and sighed. "Are you alright, Naminé?" I nodded.

"I'm just fine! What about you? How are you feeling, Roxas?" I asked, and then smiled. He didn't smile back at me. Has he ever smiled at me? Maybe there was a defect in his system. But...Roxas wasn't just machine, so that was impossible. "How come you're not happy?"

"I don't feel emotion. I can never be happy, or sad. I can't even feel tired or angry. But right now...I'm remembering what it felt like to be exhausted without comprehension." Roxas said, then chuckled and placed a hand over his forehead. "It's times like these where I wish I could think on my own instead of relying on sensors."

"I'm sorry. You really didn't deserve what was done to you." I said, frowning a little. "But you know, I'm kind of glad this had happened. Not because that you don't like it, but because we met. Think about it, we might never have met if you hadn't been turned into a weapon. Hey Roxas, I have a question..."

"Wh-" He didn't get to finish his sentence before the door opened. My jaw dropped. The first thing I was thinking was 'Holy Authority High in Heaven.' I could tell that was Sephiroth behind Rikku. He was so scary looking, you have no idea. He had one black wing and he had long, silver-white hair. Sephiroth was SCARY. I felt scared, but I knew Roxas couldn't save me because he hated him.

"You're Naminé?" He asked. I nodded fearfully, but gulped and tried not to show my fear. Sephiroth stepped towards me until he was towering over me. And I really mean 'towering over me'. He was like, five times my height! No joke at that, either! He narrowed his eyes and looked at me. "The least I can do for you...is grant your wish of Divine Sight. That way..."

"Something's going to happen to her?" Roxas asked, stepping between me and Sephiroth. I was glad, because I felt Roxas could handle anything, he would protect me no matter what. When I tell you I was terrified of Sephiroth, I was terrified of him. I don't think I showed it on the outside, though. At least...I hope not.

"You know what's going to happen, don't you, Sora?" Sephiroth asked, then narrowed his eyes. "The most painful way to die..." He looked at me. "Don't you know? You've already died and been to Heaven."

"I don't remember what is like. I wish I knew now. Besides, I don't think I died a painful death. Not the most torturous way to die, anyway. I think...the most painful way to die...is to not die at all." I said, and I earned a few stares. Rikku was staring at me, Roxas was staring at me, and Sephiroth was looking at me with an amused expression splashed across his face.

"I've decided that you're worthy. Sora, step aside." Roxas did so. "Close your eyes." I closed my eyes and took a deep breath, and then I felt like I was dying all over again. And then, all of a sudden, I was just standing in the sky. Below me was sky, above me was sky. Far off ahead of me was a palace. I could see that was Heaven's gates. I turned around and looked what was behind me. A red cloud with stairs. Probably leading down into the River Styx.

So, was this a choice? Between Heaven and Hell? Of course I would want to go to Heaven, but...I didn't really want to go there, because when Roxas died...I would never be with him.

He can't die.

"Huh? W-who are you?" I asked, turning around and making sure there was no one there. There wasn't anybody anywhere. The voice seemed to come from thin air. "What do you mean he can't die! Of course he can! The machine part of him can't die...but the rest of him...that can die! That's all that matter, because that's the only part of him that I love."

How can you love someone if you only love half of them?

"I don't need to explain myself to you! You won't even show your face, you coward, you!" I shouted, a little fired up. I didn't need a lengthy explanation of why I loved Roxas! It was like asking why you have a mother and a father. Because you just have a mother and a father, there's no explanation for parents! There's no explanation for love, either.

You don't have an explanation. You know I'm right.

"You're not right about anything! Is this some kind of test to see if I'm up for this Divine Sight thing?" Well, I knew that Lucifer and Hell were NOT Divine, so if I chose Heaven, that's what I would get, right? But...if I chose Heaven...What was more important? Love or Life? I decided that as long as I'm with Roxas, I could always be alive, even if I was as dead as dead could be. "I'm out of here! Later!" I waved goodbye to the sky(hopefully ticking the owner of the voice off) and started down the stairs leading to the opposite of Paradise.

When I got down there, I was greeted by -

"Huh? It's over?" As soon as I had been in that cloudy place, I had come back to the room with Sephiroth, Rikku, and Roxas. It had all been in an instant. "Well...did I make it?" I asked, hopeful. If I didn't, I'd have to stay in here for all eternity...

"Yes you did, Naminé-hime. You have that gift now. You can now go outside and not see that blinding light. That was an interesting choice, choosing your love, who can never love you back, over Paradise and Happiness. Maybe that's why she chose you..." Sephiroth shook his head. "We need to get going. Heartless are running rampant outside." A giant(and when I say giant, you have no idea how huge) sword appeared in his hand and he ran outside. Rikku followed, but Roxas stayed.

"Naminé...Did you really mean that? Even though you know I can't ever really love you...you'd choose me over all the happiness and peace in the world?" He asked. He looked a little sad, and I didn't like that I made him sad. So, I had to smile! What better way to brighten someone's day than giving them your own little ray of sunshine in the form of a smile?

"Of course! Because being with you, Roxas, means that I do have all the happiness and peace in the world! But when you're sad, I'm sad too...so cheer up! I understand how you're feeling all the time...but even a smile, just a small one, that could make the most useless person feel important! So, what I'm really trying to say-" Inside, I was thinking, 'Come on, Naminé, get to the point! He doesn't want to hear this pointless talk! Ugh! I talk sooo much...'

"For you, Naminé, anything." He didn't smile, but he looked a lot happier. I could by the way his eyes just seemed to dance. "You should stay inside here, alright? You don't have a weapon and we might get overwhelmed out there."

"I'm going to go outside with you guys! I'll be really careful and I won't get in your way! I promise!" I said. I didn't want to see Roxas get hurt again. Maybe if I was out there, he'd get more motivated to not only protect me, but to protect himself. After all, when he was hurt, I was hurt, too. Maybe not physically, but it emotionally broke my heart to not see him happy. I know this sounds so stupid, but it's true. Like those clichéd lovers who will always love each other and exchange the most cheesiest lines in the entire universe, but at the same time they melt your heart because they're so sweet and you can't even bear to imagine how strong their love must be.

"Are you sure?" He asked, and I nodded vigorously. I balled my hand into a fist and gave him a determined look.

"I can do this! I'm prepared for anything!" I shouted, and he laughed. I frowned, but...he smiled at me. I mean, an actual smile. That smile was so...beautiful. The most beautiful thing about him, I think. I made a decision, right then and there. If loving him was all it took to make him smile, then I'd do it! I wanted Roxas to stay smiling!

"Then let's go..." He opened the door and stepped outside into the bright daylight. I looked behind me. We had been in this little one-room cottage. I took this moment to take in Mizu no Akashi. It was a breathtaking place. The houses near the gate(we were, in fact, near the gate leading to the rest of the world) were small cottages, and then there were quaint Victorian-styled houses, then medium-sized houses, and then after that large mansions! These houses lined up each side of Mizu no Akashi. Then, there was a plaza or a town square, with a crystalline fountain spouting water in the middle. Then on the sides of that there were little marketstands. Beyond that was a giant cathedral, but it was beautiful. I could see the stained glass and it just looked like a gateway to Heaven itself.

Of course, the plaza was covered with half-angels, fallen angels, and even the occasional regular angel fighting the Heartless. Then there was Sephiroth with his huge sword fighting Yunalesca who was slowly transforming into her Medusa form. Roxas ran off to battle, and I knew none of them knew that Yunalesca's Medusa form could literally kill you with it's ugly looks. So I took the job on my shoulders to stop her while she was preoccupied with Sephiroth!

I had a really hard time getting to her. Heartless were after me like no tomorrow! Of course, I dodged and Roxas helped out a little when he could. I didn't expect him to help me out, I wanted to do this on my own. I really was just a weak little girl. If I could do just one thing to prove myself...even if I have to prove myself time and time again, I'd do it.

Yunalesca's skin was starting to tinge red and the transformation was beginning. I knew she had to stay routed to the ground while this took place, so Sephiroth was getting all kinds of free hits in. I knew exactly what I wanted to do. Jump on her from behind and tackle her to the ground, ruining her concentration! So, when Sephiroth jumped back and got ready for a slow, but powerful strike, I pounced!

I should have known to never get involved. But, I can never accept that. Maybe I'm stubborn? I don't know. That's when she struck. Yunalesca whipped around and her hand went to my throat. She laughed.

"Well, I got you now, Princess..." She said. "Say goodbye..." That's when I felt everything go black. She wasn't...was she? Her spirit was taking over my body! Oh no...what have I done?

-(Third Person POV)-

Once Yunalesca got control of Naminé's body, Yunalesca's body dropped, and the Heartless vanished. "So...this is what it's like to be a Princess? I don't feel any different, maybe it's a change in personality?"

"'A' Princess? Royalty's supposed to feel different than being a commoner?" Roxas asked, running over and looking at Naminé - no, now she was Yunalesca. All the other angels came over too.

"You mean you don't know! Geez, Sora, you're sure dense!" Rikku said, and shook her head. "Sephiroth would never address someone with their real position unless they were someone REALLY especially special! Naminé's one of those people! Didn't you know?"

"She's a Princess of Heart." Sephiroth said, and Roxas looked very surprised. "Her sister was originally the seventh, but you killed her off...and if there isn't a seventh Princess, chaos and disorder will ensue. There are Seven Princesses of Heart. Three of them represent Light, three of them represent Darkness, and the last one, the Seventh One, she represents Twilight. When her sister died, she chose Naminé-hime to take her place."

"Oh...I get it. That's why you took her body, right? Because you think you can do whatever the hell you want to do and get away with it?" Roxas chuckled, then looked at Naminé/Yunalesca. "I know that there's got to be some kind of catch so might as well let us know now."

"If you try to hurt me, you'll really hurt her. And if you hurt my body, you'll hurt her also. I took over her body, but I also placed a mimicking spell on my body because I planned this out perfectly, from start to finish." Yunalesca/Naminé smiled evilly. "After all, you can't hurt me without hurting her, can you, Roxas?" Roxas sighed and looked at everyone. They all stared at him for a moment before flocking away. Even Sephiroth and Rikku went away. They all knew what was going to happen next. "I'm sure she'll just be devastated if you do hurt her..."

"You think you've planned out your little scheme so perfectly? You think you're going to kill me with her body because you know I can't hurt her? Well, you're wrong. You've overlooked one thing, Yunalesca. I'm a weapon. I'm made for situations like this when an ally is held hostage by enemy forces." Roxas placed a hand near his ear and looked down at the ground, then closed his eyes. "Disengaging secondary security lock one...disengaging secondary security lock two..."

"Hey! What do you think you're doing! Everything's supposed to go my way, or it's the Highway, you - " I guess being in someone else's body makes Yunalesca act like a little kid?

"Now, now, Yunalesca, don't act like Seifer! Disengaging primary security lock...Removing synthetic personality layers..."He had this cold, robotic voice that still held his own tone, but it was different somehow. It was his, but somehow not his.

"Stop taking all day! I'm tired of this! I'm going to blast your brains out before you even have a chance to complete whatever the heck you're doing!" A gun appeared in Yunalesca's hands and she aimed it at his head.

"Shutting down life functions...Rebooting Combat Systems...Complete." Roxas opened his eyes and removed his hand from his face and blinked.

"What the heck? Talk like a normal person, you dolt!" Yunalesca shouted, shooting multiple times at Roxas' head. However, he merely ducked them all.

"The highest priority registered in my systems is protecting Tsugare Naminé. I will complete my mission. If causing you damage will remove you from the danger, then I will proceed to-" Roxas said in a blank voice, before Yunalesca cut him off hastily.

"Quit talking like that! I can't understand what you're saying! I hate you, Sora! I mean that, too...I hate Sora, and Naminé...well, she hates both of you. What do you think of that, you robotic piece of junk?" Yunalesca shouted.

"I cannot feel any way. Why does it matter if she does not feel for me?" Roxas asked. "I do not feel anything for you, either, so hate is an acceptable response. Please return Naminé back to her own body or else I will be forced to take you out."

"Oooohhhh, I'm oh so scared! You're just acting like that so I'll do what you say! You haven't really done anything to yourself, have you? Well, it's not going to work on me! I know you're stalling so you don't have to hurt her!" Yunalesca yelled, angry. She knew she couldn't use her magical powers in Naminé's body, so the gun was going to have to do. She aimed, and fired!

Roxas dodged easily. With amazing speed, he knocked the gun out of her hands and took it. Then, he pointed it to Yunalesca's body's head. "I will shot if you do not return to your own body." She laughed nervously, afraid he actually would do it. But, then again, he would never harm Naminé, so she didn't need to worry about it...

"You wouldn't dare! Why can't you just shut up and die like a good little boy?" Yunalesca ran towards him and kicked him, aiming for his head so his brain would be all dysfunctional and he wouldn't be able to function anymore, so it'd be an easy kill. But, he blocked it with one hand! "What the heck is wrong with you? Why can't you die like a normal person?!?"

"I cannot die. I am a combat android and a government weapon. Not a person. Your question is invalid." He said blankly, as if he rehearsed this over and knew the answers like the snap of your fingers. For a moment, Naminé took control, just to ask;

"W-Will you return to normal, Roxas?" Her voice sounded so distant and hopeful, but at the same time it sounded a little misguided and confused. "Please...even if Yunalesca takes over my body forever...I'd rather have the old you back..."

"...Confirmed as Tsugare Naminé. What is it that you wish?" Roxas asked, confirming that this was Naminé and not some crazy old lady that thought she was a gorgeous hottie because she wore revealing clothes, when it was all really disgusting if you really sat down and thought about it. Maybe she was in her mid-life crisis? Thinking she's young when she's not? Who ELSE takes over a young girl's body besides a perverted old man? Exactly.

"You'll grant me a wish? You can do that?" Naminé smiled and clasped her hands together and looked down with her eyes closed. She looked like she was praying for peace or kindness or something wonderful. It was like you could just see the pureness radiating off of her. Just liuke an actual angel, but there seemed to be something more heavenly about her."Well, if I could have one thing...anything I want...it would to be for you and me to live together peacefully, forevermore."

"Registering request as top priority on systems..." Roxas said, and his hand went near his ear again. Naminé smiled and felt Yunalesca try and snatch the control back. But she knew she could handle it for a little while longer. She walked up to Roxas and took his hand that was near his face.

"You don't need to do that, Roxas. Just knowing that you want to make my wish come true is enough for me." She smiled again, and it was a soft smile, one that depicted a thousand words. "I can wait until you get her out of me...I can wait." Then she frowned and just head-butted Roxas.

"Owwww! That hurt!" Yunalesca whined, falling backwards with the force that their heads had collided at. Roxas just stood still and blinked.

"Do you need any assistance?"He asked, his voice dead-pan, matching his face. Yunalesca sneered at him and picked up a pebble and threw it at him.

"Didn't that hurt at all?!? Ugh, I hate you! Now I'm really getting angry! No more Mrs. Hikari!" Yunalesca clapped her hands on her mouth. 'Stupid girl! Making me say ridiculous things!' Roxas finally showed an emotion - he looked amused. "T-that's not funny! I meant Miss Nice Guy!" She spluttered, almost embarrassed. She then cleared her throat. "Anyway! That's it! You're dead!" A massive machine-gun appeared in her hands. Yunalesca shot every single bullet in that massive gun at Roxas, hoping at least ONE out of like, a hundred, would hit him. When she was done with her barrage of bullets, it had the result she had hoped for. He had managed to dodge most of them, but they did get him in places.

"Performance decreased by 75.8934 percent...requesting back-up..." Just as he was about to fall, darkness enshrouded the place. Someone stepped out of the black and held out an arm to stop his fall.

"Giving up already? You're weaker than I thought, Sora. Come on, if you can't even protect her than you don't deserve her love!" The Naminé inside Yunalesca gasped. 'It's...it's him!' Were the panicked thoughts of the Princess. "I sacrificed myself to the darkness just so she'll fall for me, and here I see you not doing anything for you! Pathetic, Sora. Purely pathetic."

'W...wait! Since when has Seifer ever loved me?!?' Naminé thought, managing to take control of her own body when Yunalesca got shocked.

'So, the kid managed to do it, eh? He managed to convince Lucifer to make him the personification of Darkness? Never thought he had it in him. Remind me to congratulate him later.' Yunalesca thought, but she really had no intentions of taking over Naminé's body and killing Roxas now. From what Seifer had said to her earlier, he'd do that himself. She would be content with just watching him fall to his own, painful death. Although one would never wait for him...

"Seifer...what are you talking about! Don't you...didn't you love my sister? After all, you were her husband-to-be!" Naminé said, running over to him. Seifer opened his arms like he was expecting a hug from her, but she grabbed Roxas instead, and the blonde scowled.

"I don't get it. He doesn't love you, Naminé! Why do you still love him? I...I love you, too! I'm willing to give my whole self up to power, to darkness, to save you from this lecherous worm! But all you want to do is just hold him! Why? Why is he better than me? I am the powerful one, the one who can protect you from anything, the one who can actually love you!" Seifer said, and Naminé looked down at Roxas, who was still in her arms.

"You love me, Seifer? You don't love me. You just want me so you can have power. If you really loved something besides that face of yours, you'd learn compassion and actually be nice. But since you're still your same self, I know you're just lying. You just think you love me, but you're just compelled by jealousy. I can see through your mask, Seifer. You don't have to hide it from me. I know your true colors." Naminé replied, suddenly turning dead serious. She looked serious, too. In fact, she looked a little intimidating.

"That's...that's not true, Naminé. I really do love you. I'd do anything for you." Seifer said. Naminé didn't believe a word of it, either. The only thing he had cared for in his life was him, himself, and him. It's not like he was an orphan with nobody to care about, either. He had parents and even a fiancée, but he didn't love any of them. Now he's just coming out and saying he loves her? Yeah right.

"Okay then...shoot yourself with your Hyperion. That'll prove it to me. Shoot yourself in the heart." Naminé flatly said. She knew he wouldn't be able to stand to ruin his 'gorgeous, ripped body that seemed to be a godsend'(according to Seifer over here) for her. Besides, she knew that his life was more important to him than hers.

"What?!? No way! You're just saying that to see if I'm going to commit suicide!" Seifer yelled, his Hyperion appearing. "I would if it didn't endanger my life. Besides, I'm all-powerful now that I can control darkness. Isn't that what you want? Someone with power?"

"Roxas controls light. Are you saying that light's not a power? If you ask me, he's got a purer heart than you." Naminé snapped. "Stop arguing with me, Seifer. I don't love you and I never will. I love Roxas! He's the one whose always protected me...not you!"

"Not anymore...I'll protect you from now on. I promise. In fact, I'll create a world just for us...you don't have to be bothered by that monster anymore. Your feelings don't have to be manipulated by him anymore. It can just be us, and we can be happy." Seifer said, smiling like he actually meant. Naminé saw right through his act. Even when he held out his hand like he was trying to save her or something, she was not fooled at all.

"Manipulated? MANIPULATED? You think I'm being MANIPULATED by him? He's not the manipulator, Seifer!" Naminé shouted, wrapping her arms tighter around Roxas. She didn't want him to be taken away from her. Even if he was unconscious, she still felt safe if he was by her side. "I don't want to argue with you anymore because it's so pointless! You will never understand how I feel about him, because no girl will ever feel that way about you! Umiri never did! Neither did I, and I never will!"

"But he killed your sister, Naminé. He killed all of you. How can you forgive him for that?!? He's made so many mistakes, where I haven't made a single one! I haven't killed anyone! Yet you still love him!" Seifer shouted, getting really agitated.

"You've made a mistake, Seifer. A big one. One that makes all of his acts seem heavenly. You, Seifer, cannot feel. There's the difference between you two. Even if you have a heart, you still can't feel anything for anybody. I don't think you can even love yourself. You just want to say that you love me so you fulfill the emptiness in your life. But you chose to be that way! Unlike Roxas. He didn't choose to be empty...and that's why...that's why I'd do anything for him!" Naminé shouted and Roxas started to wake again, only so that he could hear what was going on. His other systems were starting up again, but it took a lot of time to make him the old him.

"...If I killed him right now, what would you think of me? Would you hate me for killing him? Or would you actually praise me because I've defeated the person you think can protect you?" Seifer asked, Hyperion disappearing and he crossed his arms. Naminé thought for a moment and seriously considered that.

"You wouldn't be able to kill him. If you truly, truly love me, Seifer...then you'd be willing to let me go in order to make me happy. I understand if Roxas couldn't because he's part machine and his priority is protecting me so he'd have to act as my bodyguard." Naminé sighed, knowing that this whole argument had been a waste. Seifer didn't look like he had listened to anything she just said.

"Well, I did promise Lucifer that I'd kill him off." Seifer said, looking at Roxas, who was still rebooting all his systems. He was three quarters of the way there, too. It just took a little time. Naminé dropped him on the ground and stood up, walking towards Seifer. Once she got there, she had this look on her face and she placed her hands on her hips. Seifer thought she just looked so adorable...

"You're going to have to get through me, first!" Naminé got into the Dragon fighting stance. She didn't know how to fight, true, but she wasn't an idiot when it came to fighting styles. She actually knew multiple ones, but she just knew more moves of the Dragon than of any other. Anyway, Seifer still laughed at her pitiful 'defense'.

"Don't mess around with the power of Darkness." Seifer flicked his wrist and sent Naminé into a wall. She got up, only to be sent down again. He walked over to her and kneeled down by her side. She felt like some gravitational force was keeping there, but she knew it must've been the 'power of darkness'. He placed a hand on her cheek and smiled evilly. "It's okay, I won't hurt you. Well, maybe I will when I kill Roxas off, but..." He then gave her a kiss on the cheek and the only thing she could do was sit up, watching helplessly. Well, helplessly until...

'C'mon, girl! You're just going to watch him kill off your love?!? What the heck is wrong with you? Aren't you gonna protect him like he's protected you? Or are you just a helpless little sissy? Come on, they don't call you a Princess of Heart for nothing! Those with pure hearts are supposed to take a stand and protect their love until the end, even if it means certain death!' Her inner self, no wait...it was Yunalesca! Why was Yunalesca giving her a pep talk if they were supposed to be enemies?

'Why are you motivating me? Aren't you supposed to be my enemy? Oh, and, I WOULD get up...but I kind of CAN'T right now!' Naminé shouted back to Yunalesca.

'I'm bipolar...be thankful for that! I also think that your pure heart is influencing me for a little, but I like it here so I'm going to stick around for a while. I can't let you use any of my magic for compensation, but instead I'll lend you a weapon. So, you gotta choose. What's it gonna be? It can be anything you can think of!' Yunalesca chirped. Naminé wondered why she was being so nice, but it would make sense if being inside a pure-hearted person's body would start to tilt you towards the good side. Seifer seemed to be taking his time getting to Roxas...taking extra-slow strides...

'Here, I'll give you some that I know of! There's the razor cane, Tarkatan Blades, the Kriss, the Jo, a ninja sword, a pulse blade, Drakeswords, Gauntlets, Iron Club, the Autumn Dao, an axe, ice daggers, crossbow, the Devastator, the Dragon Fangs, the Morning Star, the Naginata, the Sun-Moon Blades, the Bo, the Black Dragon sword, the Kick Axe, a spiked club, the Tonfa, a Bowie knife or a pistol, nunchaku, Hookswords, Ghurka knife, Staff, Butterfly Knives, Katana, Saber Teeth, Dragon Teeth, Steel Fans, Kali Sticks, Machete, Battle Axe, Broadsword, Sai, Kunlan Dao, Dragon Sword, Cleavers, Tomahawks, the Kama, a Scythe, a Hammer, Troll Hammer, Spiked Mace, War Hammer, the Storm Sword, the Crude Hammer, the Kirehashi, the Demon Fang, the Mugai Ryu, Laser Pistol, Straight Sword, the Wrath Hammer, Shokan Blades, the Amulet Staff, the Dan Tien Dao, Kwan Dao, Saber, Rapier, a Pinwheel, the Ice Scepter, the Kori Blade, a Boomerang, a Kobu Jutsu, and, finally, a Drakesword. Of course, you can always wield dual of these except for the Kriss. And any other weapons are fine, too. As long as you give me the name.' Yunalesca said, clearly out of breath from listing all those weapons.

Seifer was getting closer now, so Naminé jumped up, able to defy the power of darkness. 'Okay,' She said, making her decision, 'I choose-!'

Here comes the fun part for all you readers. Well, the reviewers, anyway. You guys get to chose what weapon Naminé gets to handle next chapter for her big fight with Seifer. Whatever you guys think, really. It doesn't have to be one of those weapons listed, it can be different. -shrug- I don't know how many types of weapons are out there, those are just the ones I know. I mean, she can't have a notebook for a weapon when she's going against a guy with a flippin' GUNBLADE! The weapon I can't imagine her with is the big---- sword Cloud wields or the one Sephiroth wields. Hey, but if you guys really want her weapon to be the Buster Sword or Masamune(or whatever it's called) then it's gonna happen. Because you reviewers are really vital to a story. I mean, I look at stories with like, twenty chapters and no reviews and I just start to cry because I'd hate to be that author, you know?

Anyway, in your review, I'd like for you, to include TWO things.

One: What weapon our dear Nami-hime should handle.

Two: Birthday wishes for me! (Tomorrow is my birthday! So make sure your reviews are really length for this chapter, n'kay?)

Anyway, I want at least one review with what weapon she should wield. Even if you guys decide to be funny and say a COLORED PENCIL, I'm gonna take it seriously. Better watch what you wish for, ne?

Oh, oh, and, because tomorrow is my birthday and I'm feeling so gracious, you all can request up to SEVEN(because that's my lucky number and today is the 7th in Quebec, it might be the 8th or the 9th or even the 6th where you live, but where I live it is the 7th) things that you'd like me to include in next chapter. I'll be sure to include every single one of them, and there might even be a surprise for all you dedicated reviewers! And believe me, I know who's been reviewing and who's not(well, I actually don't know this part)...Don't let this opportunity go to waste, alright? The only times I do this is A: If a story has, like, no reviews and I need to boost the review count, B: If I'm holding some kind of 'Where's Waldo' puzzle where you search for something specific in each chapter or something like that, C: If it's the Winter Holidays, D:Or my Birthday!

Because this is just MY little gift to everybody on FF that's written such wonderful stories, so it's my turn to cook up one with the help of you, the reviewers!

Don't you just love birthdays?!?
