"Xion! Come back!" Roxas cried out, even though he knew that the raven haired girl couldn't hear him. The blonde took a few more glances around, ignoring the tiny pang of guilt. He couldn't think about that now, he wanted- no needed to find Xion. The blonde quickly opened up a corridor to check all the usual places himself and Xion hung out at. The replica was no where in sight.. Of course, the older people were looking at him, talking amongst their selves because Roxas was currently ditching school and out of breath from running all over the place. Though the last place he hasn't looked at was the smaller island. The teen hoped that she would be there so for this last time, the nobody opened up another corridor- where no one could see him and ran through it.
Roxas then stepped on the soft sand and looked around the shore line to see the girl looking out to the sea by the papou fruit tree. "Xion!" he shouted, relieved that he had finally found her. Though, the girl hadn't noticed or heard him.. The blonde smiled greatly to see that she was safe and ran towards the shack that would lead up to the bridge so he could get to her. "I was looking all over for you!" he said while grabbing onto her hand from behind. Xion's eyes lowered a bit and she tried walking forward to leave him but the nobody's grip had only gotten tighter. "Please, don't leave." He pleaded, sadly. "I'm sorry.. I'm sorry for what I did with Namine. I didn't mean to do it, I promise." He continued on, trying to catch his breath from all that running.
Xion didn't turn around because she knew that if she did and looked into his pleading blue eyes, she would forgive him in a heart beat- well.. if she had an heart. But the teen wasn't ready to forgive him, it was too soon. She was still hurting inside from seeing that.
Roxas let out a sigh in relief. Xion wasn't turning around, but she wasn't running away; meaning that she was giving him a chance to explain. The blonde began to think of how to explain his actions but every reason sounded stupid. How was he suppose to explain that he had suddenly felt Sora's emotions for Kairi and let it out on Namine; Kairi's nobody? "I hurt you. Which is the worse punishment that anyone could give me." Roxas started. Then paused to think about how starts his next sentence. A few short moments later, Xion turned around to face him with her beautiful blue eyes, telling him to continue. "You mean more to me than everyone else and even without a heart.. I know this- I love you, Xion." And with that, the blonde gave her a light kiss.
The replica remained silent as her gaze shifted down a bit; not closing her eyes shut. "I didn't say you could kiss me," she said quietly. Before Roxas could react, Xion looked back up. "Take it back." She demanded with a slight smirk.
A soft smile crossed his face as Roxas leaned in to kiss the girl again. Just as he was about to break their kiss, the raven haired teen wrapped her arms around him; pulling him closer. The nobody was surprised at first, but then as their mouths remained locked; he gave in. "Looks like you.. stole a kiss from me too." Roxas said, breathlessly as they finally broke apart.
"I couldn't let you have all the fun. Now we're even," Xion replied as she winked at him and took his hand. Together the two strolled down the beach, not wanting to go back yet..

"Hey, Namine..? Are you okay now?" Kairi asked worryingly as her nobody walked passed her. The blond did leave them earlier to leave to the health room.
The girl slowly looked down sadly and shook her head. "I did something so horrible.." she said quietly while covering her face with her hands. Just thinking about what happened a few moments ago, frightened her and by just seeing Xion's hurt face expression like that.. made her feel so guilty, knowing that she likes Roxas too.
"Wait.. Namine.. What happened?" the red haired girl asked as she pulled the blond away from everyone else, so they couldn't hear their conversation. The princess was so curious about what happened while the girl was away for a few moments.. It couldn't be that bad, right? Maybe it was her sickness talking?
"I-I don't know.. I just suddenly saw Roxas as Sora and kissed him and he did the same to me.. T-Then Xion was there standing by the door way and she suddenly dashed off with Roxas chasing after her. I don't know what to do!" Namine confessed while burying her head beside Kairi's shoulder, letting her tears out; feeling so guilty for what she has done.
The red head was surprised to hear this but she was currently speechless and didn't know what to do except for comfort Namine. "It's okay.. I'm sure that Roxas probably had made things straight with Xion.. Maybe, you should head home for today. It seems like you have been through so much trouble. I'll call dad and tell him to pick you up."
Later that evening.
"This is incredible.. of how these results are turning out.." Ansem thought to his self as he looked up at the computer screen, showing the emotions of the two nobodies and the replica. "If this continues.. maybe.. they could become their own person by understanding-"
"Ansem," a female voiced called out by the door way of his laboratory. The woman walked in and looked up at the data also. "so.. what you're doing now is to help the nobodies?" Aqua asked as her eyes scanned through everything.
"Yes." He replied with his arms crossed behind of him. "Though.. I'm afraid that Sora and Kairi's relationship may cause Roxas and Namine to develop feelings for each other also. Of course, Roxas would still have strong feelings for Xion. But if that happens, the replica would.." he paused to think for a moment. "Aqua, I need you to send a letter to Xion's current guardian. We can't have her staying in the same house as Roxas and Sora anymore. I'll send her back to that other home, I bought in Destiny Islands.."
The blue haired female understood what he meant and nodded. "Right away,"

That Night.
"Hey Sora, I have a question." Roxas told his somebody as the two cleaned up the table after dinner.
"Sure~ About what?" Sora asked, curiously. He hoped that the question wasn't going to intrude him giving 'the talk'. There are just some things he didn't want to talk about with his nobody.
"Were you doing anything with Kairi today? Maybe.. some time around lunch?" Roxas questioned referring to what happened between him and Namine. The teen was curious if what Sora had been doing affected his self.
A look of shock crossed the brunette's face as his face slowly turned red as a moogle's nose. "Oh. Well.. umm.." he coughed nervously as he shifted his head in the other direction. "The only time I can think of was this afternoon.. is when I walked into what I thought had been an empty classroom. But, it turned out Selphie had invited Kairi to go swimming so she was getting changed in there." Sora stammered nervously while scratching the back of his head sheepishly. (Xion going after Namine Selphie dragged Kairi Sora going back to class room (same time as Roxas and Namine kissing) = Riku all alone by his self D:)
"And then?" Roxas added on, wondering how the story ends.
"She didn't realize it was me at first and chucked her keyblade at me. Luckily, it didn't hurt too much and after, she put her skirt on, she came to make sure I was okay." Sora paused as he thought of what happened next. "She said I shouldn't be peeping because one of these days I would see her like that anyways. After that I got a nose bleed and fainted." He finally finished his face redder than before.
Roxas burst out and knew this definitely had to explain it as Xion hid from sight with her back against the wall; hearing what Sora said. Though.. why would Roxas ask about what Sora did with Kairi? Is this some type of guy thing? The replica sighed softly and went up stairs to get ready for bed.
