It's been a few days. Namine hadn't come home since we visited Kairi's. So, I was beginning to worry. I blame Sora. If he didn't throw that hissy fit, Namine wouldn't have had to stay at Kairi's longer and with no one to walk her home. I hope that she's okay...I should have never left here. Why did my mom just have to set the kitchen on fire at the time?

I felt a vibration in my pocket. I picked up my cellphone.

"Hello?"

"Roxas, I know where Namine is now."

"What?! Where?!" I asked frantically.

"She's in Traverse Town."

What?! Traverse is pretty far away! How did she get there?

"We're meeting up at the airport at three, so don't be late!"

I nodded and hung up. What happened to Namine?

"W-why can't you guys get this through your thick skull? I'm not Kairi!" I protested.

"Puh-leez. Just because you went blond, doesn't mean we don't recognize you," one of the kidnappers said.

"My hair has always been this color. I'm not Kairi. I'm Namine Hoshiko!"

It seemed that they weren't listening to me. Idiots. There were three men. One was silver-haired, one had blue hair, and another was redhead. A strange group indeed.

Oh, and if you're wondering where I am, I'm apparently in Traverse Town right now in an abandoned warehouse. They are waiting for the Destiny family to buy me back. Because, they'll realize Kairi's really not missing, they won't bother to get me back. Yup, the first few days of spring break rocks! Not.

I sighed and looked out the window. Kairi...Roxas...Sora...where are you guys?

We met up at the airport. It was oddly quiet between Sora and Kairi. Usually, they would be talking to each other nonstop on the plane ride here. Instead, they kept silent and had me sit between them. Maybe it's Namine's disappearance that is making them tense.

Once the plane landed, Kairi showed us the address that the kidnappers gave her family. It didn't seem too far. Sora took out a map of the area and pointed out the building. Strangely, I noticed Kairi was looking away.

"Kairi, you okay?" I asked.

She nodded slowly and shot a look at Sora, whose eyes were concentrated on the map. I sort of got a picture of what's going on.

"Did Kairi confess yet?"

Sora dropped the map immediately, and Kairi clenched her fist. Ooh, I think I should have kept my thoughts to myself. I made a wrong guess.

"No. Why would I confess to him? Sora is so in love with Namine. I'm nothing to him when he's with her," Kairi muttered bitterly.

"Kairi, please. Let's not talk about this," Sora pleaded.

"No! I can't stop talking now that Roxas brought it up!" Kairi yelled.

Sora glared at me. I chuckled nervously as Kairi gave him a verbal beat down. Soon, Sora just snapped back.

"Kairi, I like you as a friend! Isn't that enough? Just go after Roxas or something!"

Hey, I don't want her after me. Kairi's nice and all, but she's just not my type.

"That is so insensitive! Of course, I can't! I like you, Sora! That probably won't change for a long time! You know I can't start liking someone else that easily because...you have the same problem."

Kairi was became silent. Sora seemed shocked and grew more bitter.

"Same problem? How so, Kairi?" She didn't look at him as he spoke, "How so?!"

"You love Namine so much, but she's pushing you away, Sora! Can't you see that she doesn't love you? It's the same with me. I love you, but you don't want me. Are you giving up on her? No! So am I going to be giving up on you? NO!"

I stood there and watched the two bicker. I turned away and started to look for the building and especially, Namine.

"BS," I said dryly.

"Damn it!" Axel cursed.

Oh, if you're wondering, one of my kidnappers, Axel, and I are playing BS. I'm winning. Why are we playing BS? Axel was bored, no one wanted to play a game with him, he found a card deck, and made me play. Nope, this is not weird at all.

"Jack," I lied as I placed down an ace.

Axel didn't seem to notice I was lying again. He placed down his card.

"BS," I stated.

"Damn it! How do you always know?" Axel asked frustrated.

I shrugged. I was just lucky. After we finished playing, Axel and I ended up talking for awhile. He was a really nice guy. I have no idea why he's working with these guys here.

"So, Namine, do you like someone?" Axel asked with smirk.

I blushed. I then imagined Sora sitting next to me, smiling softly. I smiled back. I know I like Sora, but I don't want to be in a relationship with him right now. So, did I have to wait? As I thought this, I then imagined Roxas taking Sora's place not too long afterward.

"Answer him, Namine," the imaginary Roxas said, winking.

The imaginary Roxas disappeared and I kept staring at the empty space where he was. Axel must have noticed my silence and that fact I was staring at the wall.

"You don't have to tell me," he replied.

"No, it's okay. I'm actually not sure who I like out of the two..."

"Two? Dang, you must be pretty popular with the guys!"

"It's not like that!" I shouted, "It's just...Roxas has always been cheering me on and helping me since I was young, but Sora didn't need my blog to notice I was lonely. I really don't know who cares for me more..."

"Does it matter?"

I looked up at Axel, caught off-guard by his words.

"Look, it doesn't matter who cares about you more. I mean that's important too. Don't get me wrong. There could be a guy who loves you who more than anyone in the world, but you might not even care about him. That's just a one-sided relationship that will never last. It has to be mutual love. It's who you want. Who you care for more."

"Who I care for more?" I repeated.

"Duh. I bet a hint would be if you just think about which one of the guys you want to see the most right now.

I closed my eyes, hoping to find the answer to who I liked. Suddenly, I saw him. I would sat it was a surprise to wish for him to come, but I feel like I've known it for a long time. I just never acknowledged it.

"Roxas...you mentioned him before, right?" Axel said, breaking me out of my thoughts.

I nodded. Axel then told me that he was good friends with Roxas. He told me all the times he shared with Roxas. If I didn't know any better, I'd think Axel was gay and in love with Roxas.

"You know, you're kind of cool. I can definitely tell you're not the one these guys are after. So I'm going to try to get you out of here. However, Heckle and Jekyll think you're this Kairi. I know you're not. It's wrong to keep someone hostage for no reason, right? I'm going to get you out of here," he said in a low voice so the other guys wouldn't hear.

I nodded. Axel then sneaked me outside. As we got closer to his car, he then asked about how I met Roxas.

"Oh, we met online. I have blog and I go under the name MemoryWitch," I responded.

Axel had a strange look on his face.

"Wait...you're MemoryWitch?" he asked to verify.

I nodded. Axel then looked frustrated as he began muttering some words. Then he turned to me with audible words.

"Then you have to stick with me. I'm driving you to my place," Axel said almost too quickly.

He took my hand, but I tried to pull away. I told him I just wanted to get back to Destiny Islands, but he insisted I had to come with him.

"NAMINE!" I heard a familiar voice call.

I turned my head and saw the spiky haired teen.

"R-rox — ?" I couldn't finish saying his name because I felt his body slam against mine, in an embrace.

Roxas had his arms wrapped around me tightly. I blushed deeply. Roxas held onto me tightly and repeatedly said my name in a whisper. He then loosened his hold on me.

"I...I was worried, you idiot. Don't walk home by yourself...you're such an idiot...you idiot...you..." Roxas said weakly.

'I am absolutely sure. I liked Roxas,' I said to myself in my head.

"I'm sorry, Roxas," I replied.

Roxas broke off from the embrace when he noticed Axel's presence.

"Axel?" Roxas looked confused.

"It's not what it looks like. Okay, it is. But, I'm worried about Namine. I was going to keep her with me, but I think I can trust you to take care of her. By the way you hugged her, I can tell you don't want her to get hurt. Don't let her out of your sight. Got it memorized?"

Roxas nodded. Axel then warned us to run now before the other two guys noticed I'm gone. Roxas and I ran back to where Sora and Kairi were. They seemed to be having an intense conversation. But, the two stopped bickering once they saw me. Sora instantly went up to me and hugged me. It wasn't as tight as Roxas's hug though. Kairi hugged me as well and began crying tears of joy.

We then went to the airport to board a plane trip home. I sat next to Sora on the plane. We talked and laughed. Sora always knew how to make me laugh. Sora then brought up our relationship again.

"Do you think you'll ever want to get back together with me, Namine? Be honest..."

I bit my lip.

"No," I said truthfully.

Sora sighed. We drifted into another conversation. I forgot how much fun Sora was. I forgot how great Sora is. The feelings I have for him keep changing. However, I knew for sure who I liked. These feelings for Sora are not the feelings of a crush or anything of that sort.

"I got to go the bathroom," I told Sora.

He nodded and I stood up, walking toward the back to the bathroom. As I was finishing my business, there was a knock on the door.

"Occupied," I said dryly as I pulled up my jeans.

Another knock.

"Occupied," I said as I washed my hands.

Yet another knock.

"Occupied!" I yelled as I opened the door.

Suddenly, I was pushed back into the bathroom, and the attacker walked into the bathroom with me as well. It was...Roxas? He began to speak quickly.

"Look, I know this may sound weird, but I really don't want you to go back to your empty apartment. Who knows what will happen to you...So I'm asking...no...demanding that you move in with my mom and me!"


A/N: Nami knows she likes Roxie now! 3 I'm still having trouble on how to end this story. I think what I'm writing now is okay. I was planning an leaving it one-sided Sokai up till the end, but I'm starting to think I should put them together. But Sora is still so hung up on Nami and since the end will be in a few chapters, it would come out of nowhere -___-;
