Vampire Orika: Alright listen up Mortals as of now I'll be helping Orika with her story…Even though I a Vampire myself despise Mortals so much; I'll help, because I am her alter ego… Yes that's right Mortals this Writer has as an alter ego and unfortunately for her, her alter ego is a Vampire. Soon I'll make your lives miserable… hahahaha…
Orika: Ahem If you're not gonna help me then go away, you are no help at all. Anyways I apologize for my long delay. I have been having Writer's Block lately not to mention Vampire Orika which she prefers me to call her keeps on nagging me. I had to read at least more than five other stories to think of an idea… Well, in our previous chapter, problem rises as Naminé found the photo Roxas snuck out of their house back in Uptown and is now crying over it. As for Sora he has now tasted Kairi's strange cooking.
Vampire Orika: As for what Orika said it was a recall, now she said she'll stop the bizarre things and start on more Romance in this chapter. If you ask me Mortals, though I'll ignore the questions, Romance for me is like sucking the blood out of your veins mwuahahahaha…
Orika: Ignore her, in any cases I got my revenge on her for invading my Profile by changing her name in a Review of a story… Hehehe, and now the story of Kairi and Naminé's past will be revealed here…
Disclaimer:
Vampire Orika: Orika doesn't own Kingdom Hearts or any of the songs she is making them sing, but I'll take over her body and it'll be mine someday that's for sure… Hahahaha… Shhhhhh, it's our little secret okay…

Chapter 10: A Heart's Sanctuary
It was night time in Destiny City the streets were merely empty…
At Twilight Café…
Sora has eaten clean his plate; well he should be since Kairi was watching him, after the bizarre meal Kairi have decided to head back home.
"Naminé were leaving…" Kairi said however there was no response. "Naminé were leaving…" she said again but still no response.
The others were too busy congratulating Sora for surviving his first meal of Kairi's cooking. Kairi looked around the Café but there was no sight of Naminé.
"Hey has anyone of you seen Naminé?" Kairi asked.
"I don't know I never noticed." Yuna said. "I was preoccupied of Sora eating his meal." she added.
"What do you mean by that?" Kairi said in which Yuna just smiled as her defense.
Then Sora noticed that Roxas wasn't around as well.
"And where did Roxas disappear too?" Sora asked.
"I think I saw him at the back stage earlier." Tifa said rubbing her chin. "And I think I saw Naminé going there." she added.
Kairi quickly left them and went back stage.
"Naminé…" Kairi called out but there was no response.
No one was there. Kairi looked around and notice a note at the table. She took it and read it.
Dear Kairi,
I'll be going somewhere for a while, don't worry Roxas is with me.
You should go home and take a rest…
Naminé
Back at the table…
"Hikari!!!!!!!" Kairi's voice echoed through out the Café.
Everyone looked back and saw Kairi rushing out of the back stage a note on her hand tightly grasp and her expression an expression of death.
Orika: Oh no Roxas is dead meat when he gets back.
Vampire Orika: Can I be the one to kill him…?
Orika: No you can't, shut up in there will ya… Where was I oh yeah…?
"Looks like bad news to me…" Leon said as the others nodded in agreement.
Meanwhile in Uptown…
Naminé was walking on the streets of Uptown with Roxas, his spiky hair hidden under a cap.
"Where are we going?" Roxas asked. "Kairi is gonna kill me if she finds out you're alone with me…" he added, eventually he thought that Kairi's violence would only be at Sora but the threat before that performance made him think twice.
Naminé made no response. She has been silent ever since her tears subsided.
"Is she still mad at me because of the photo I took?" Roxas thought. "I shouldn't have taken that photo with me. Now Naminé's gonna hate me." he added.
"I just wanna visit a place." Naminé suddenly said.
"A place you say." Roxas said.
"The place where it all started, were our world fell apart." Naminé said looking down.
Somewhere in Uptown…
Two people were walking in the street. One was looking around as if looking for someone as for the other was following the prior.
"Why did you drag me all the way here?" a voice of a familiar boy wearing a cap said. "What if someone recognizes me." he added.
"Shut up, no one will recognize you with that crazy hair of yours hidden under that cap." Kairi said. "Just don't take it off." she added continuing to drag Sora everywhere.
"Crazy hair, may I just tell you the ladies happen to love this you call crazy hair." Sora said.
"Where could he have taken her?" Kairi asked in the air.
"You're ignoring me." Sora thought. "Can't you just stop thinking about Naminé for a minute and pay attention to the one who's with you." he thought again.
Orika: Note to Sora, Riku's not the only rival you have to Kairi's attention, don't forget Naminé is there as well.
Vampire Orika: In which case is the Mortal's first priority unfortunately for him, not hahahaha…
Orika: Hey I was gonna say that.
"Uh might I remind you that Naminé was the one that mentioned that she wanted to go somewhere?" Sora said. "And what made you think that their here?" he added.
"Well if you just think about it, we've searched the entire corners of Downtown and same goes at the Underground Shelter." Kairi said keeping a look out at two blonde heads.
Sora kept on walking looking somewhere then suddenly bumped at Kairi.
"Uh, hey why did you stop?" Sora asked as he looked at Kairi.
Kairi stood there motionless staring at the abandoned house.
"Helooo anyone home?" Sora asked waving his hand in front of Kairi's face. He then looked at the house. "What is it, do you see a ghost or something?" he asked.
Kairi ignored him and entered the gates, Sora followed her. She stopped at the door and reached something from under the rag. It was a key she unlocked the door and went inside, he just quietly followed her wondering what the deal is.
"Hey we're gonna get in trouble if someone catches us here." Sora said.
"It's been so long…" Kairi said walking around. "I'm home…" she added.
"What did you say?" Sora asked stared at Kairi…
In another part of Uptown… (Again…)
Tifa and Yuna were walking in the streets keeping an eye out for the couple of love birds…
"Where could they have gone to?" Tifa asked.
Yuna just sighed. "I just hope no one sees the two, because if someone did we'll be in so much trouble." she said.
"We better split up and look for them." Tifa said.
"Okay see you later…" Yuna said and they went their separate ways.
Tifa started running off looking around when she bumped to someone the impact made her loose her balance, she closed her eyes as she was about to fall when a pair of hands caught her and pulled her close.
"Are you alright miss?" a muscular voice asked.
"I'm sorry I wasn't looking where I was going." Tifa said as she looked up to the guy who helped her and found her self staring at a pair of blue eyes. Her eyes widened as she and quickly stepped back and gained composure.
"You seem to be in a hurry." Cloud said.
"He doesn't remember me." Tifa thought. "Well I'm looking for someone." she said. "Gotta go…" she added and fled leaving Cloud puzzled and shrugged.
On the other side Yuna passed by a group of rich guys hanging out. One of them whistled.
"Hey there sweetie wanna have some fun with us?" one of them asked grabbing Yuna's hand.
"Urgh, no let go." Yuna said breaking from his grasp. "People here in Uptown have no manners unlike in Downtown…" she thought.
"Come on you'll have some fun." the guy insisted.
"Let go or I'm gonna break that hand of yours." Yuna threatened.
"Ooooh I'm scared." the guy said looking at his acquaintances which just laughed.
"Hey didn't heard the lady, she said let go." a blond hair guy said as he grabbed the guy's hand and pulled it away from Yuna's hand, he then pushed the guy away. "Now scat…" he said.
And the group ran away.
"Are you alright?" Tidus asked.
"Yeah thanks…" Yuna said not looking at Tidus eyes. "I'll be in trouble if he recognizes me." she thought. "Thanks I have to go…" she said and fled leaving Tidus behind…
Tifa and Yuna looked around the streets of Uptown with one thing in mind.
"Have to find them and quick…"
Vampire Orika: Well that was weird…
Orika: I couldn't think of anything better besides I'm already prolonging this chapter…
In Uptown's playground…
Naminé and Roxas walked in playground's premises where he first saw her shed tears. Naminé walked over a swing and sat in it, she then began swinging herself. Roxas sat at the swing beside her.
"This place was my favorite area of Uptown, when Kairi and I were still younger we used to come here all the time." Naminé said.
"I've been meaning to ask ever since you've brought me to that house." Roxas said but Naminé cut him off.
"You want to know why Kairi and I were in the Underground Shelter when we have a house here in Uptown is that it." Naminé said.
Although that wasn't exactly the question but it was close anyway so yeah let's go with that.
"Yeah…" Roxas said.
"It was so long ago." Naminé started. "But it seems like it was just yesterday." she added.
Destiny City ten years ago…
In the Sakura house hold.
"Please don't do this…" a woman's voice was heard in the nursery of the young 5 years old twins.
"I'm sorry Kaina but I'm I've made up my mind and there's nothing you can do to stop me from leaving." a voice of a man said.
Little Naminé slowly opened her eyes. She hopped out of her bed; she was wearing a white pajama with bears around it as a design. She walked over to Little Kairi's bed.
Vampire Orika: The words little are not the right word to describe them Orika, take my advice and call those puny Mortals brat, hahahaha.
Orika: Oh shut up and let me do my work.
"Kairi, Kairi…" Little Naminé said shaking Little Kairi up.
"What is it Naminé? Are you gonna go potty again?" Little Kairi asked.
"I can hear mommy and daddy…" Little Naminé said.
"Huh?" was all Little Kairi could say.
Little Kairi hopped out of bed, her pajamas has the same design as Little Naminé's but the color of her pajamas was pink. They both walked towards the door and slightly opened the door and crept outside. They took a peek at the living room which can be seen from where they are. A man with auburn hair was standing by the open door caring a suit case and a blonde haired woman kneeling on the floor, faint sobs can be heard from her. The man however has streaks of water falling from his cheeks.
"I'm sorry Kaina, take care of Kairi and Naminé." he said and left.
Kaina just cried harder.
"Kairi where's daddy going, why does he have a suit case with him?" Little Naminé asked starting to cry.
"His going some where far away..." Little Kairi said. "Far away from us…" she added.
Orika: Talk about kid's advance intellect Kairi and Naminé understood what was going on with between their parents on such young ages.
Vampire Orika: I love seeing Mortals miserable…
Orika: Yeah, of course you do…
"We never heard from our father again." Naminé said calmly. "That night in the nursery I cried my eyes out while Kairi was there comforting me. She didn't cry, she didn't show any reaction when our father left. Somehow I knew why…" she added.
Roxas listened closely, now wonder there was no man in the photo. Only her, Kairi and their mother Kaina…
"It was pathetic…" Naminé said. "To waste a tear on a man who left us. That's why I said to myself, I will never cry for our father again. It is better to bury him in the shadows of my past…" she added.
"I see…" Roxas said sympathizing. "It must've been hard on you two, to have no father to rely on at such a young age." he added.
Then Naminé began to sing the song she and Kairi sang back at the show.
I remember date and time
September 22nd
Sunday 25 after 9
In the door way
With your case
No longer shouting at each other
There were tears on our face
And so we were letting go
Of something special
Something we'll never have again
I know, I guess I really really know
The lyrics sank in.
"That song was for your mother?" Roxas asked.
"Yes a song Kairi and I made for her." Naminé said.
Orika: Alright before I continue on I'll make one thing clear Kairi and Naminé never did made that song in reality okay.
Vampire Orika: Well how can those Mortals do when their just fictions…
Orika: For the first time I'll agree with you.
"But that wasn't the reason you and Kairi lived in the Underground Shelter right?" Roxas said. "And where's your mother? Did she…" he added but looked away unable to continue he might just hit a vulnerable spot in Naminé's heart.
"Did you wanna ask if she died in some illness or something?" Naminé said.
Roxas just nodded in response.
"Actually we don't know." Naminé said. "But one thing for sure, it has something to do with what happened that day." she added.
Back at the once Sakura residence….
Kairi was sitting at the sofa, Sora told her to sit. He was worried about her; she isn't as feisty as she was ever since she saw the house. He sat beside her.
"It was that day when our world began to fall apart." Kairi said.
"Kairi let's go I wanna go and play on the swings…" Little Naminé who was in a preschool's uniform said.
"Naminé we have to go home now." Little Kairi who was also wearing a preschool's uniform said.
"Oh come on Kairi even just a short time…" Little Naminé pleaded.
"Alright…" Little Kairi said in defeat.
The twin with their back packs at their back walked hand in hand to the playground, when they reached their destination they quickly dropped their bags and occupied the empty swings. They were swinging happily; they didn't notice someone approaching them.
"Well isn't this cute, two little girls playing together." a voice said from behind.
The twin looked behind them and saw a person in a black cloak his face hidden behind the hood.
"Say do you want some candies?" the stranger asked.
"Yes ---" Little Naminé said but Little Kairi cut her off.
"No, and we were just going home…" Little Kairi snapped at the stranger.
Little Kairi got off the swing and grab their back packs. Little Naminé hopped off the swing and wore her back pack. They were walking away from the stranger when more people wearing black cloaks blocked their path.
"Well aren't we a little rude." the stranger said. "Didn't your parents teach you not to turn around when someone's talking to you." he added.
"What do you want leave us alone." Little Kairi said holding Little Naminé's hand.
"Kairi I'm scared." Little Naminé said sobbing.
Little Kairi hugged Little Naminé to calm her down, the stranger walked to them and kneeled to their height level.
"Don't worry we won't hurt you." the stranger said patting Little Naminé on the head.
"Don't touch her." Little Kairi said grabbing the hand of the stranger and biting it.
The stranger pulled his hand and reacted to the pain of the bite as his companions just laughed. Little Kairi took the chance grabbed Little Naminé and ran away, but the attempt of escape failed as they were many of them. There was no one around to help them. They were helplessly carried to a van and were blind folded.
Back at the playground…
"It's all my fault…" Naminé said tears falling from her eyes.
"No Naminé it isn't." Roxas said comforting her.
"Yes it is." Naminé said. "If I didn't insist in coming here then we would never have been kidnapped." she added.
Roxas hushed her.
Back at the Sakura residence…
"Then what happened?" Sora asked.
"We were taken somewhere. We were imprisoned in a room." Kairi said. "That's when we met Leon…" she added.
"Leon…" Sora wondered.
Back at the playground…
Vampire Orika: You know I am getting woozy from switching scenes here. Can't you just stop at one place...?
Orika: Oh shut it… I'm just switching the mood...
Vampire Orika: Arghhh, wake me up when this is over.
"Leon was the one who saved us. He helped us escape from them." Naminé said. "He even helped us get home but…" she added but stopped.
"Something happened at your house?" Roxas guessed.
Naminé just nodded in response tears continued to fall from her eyes...
Back at the Sakura residence…
"When we got home the house was already like this…" Kairi said. "Our mother was no where to be found." she added.
"What do you mean no where to be found?" Sora said. "You mean she just disappeared." he added.
"Yeah…" Kairi said streaks of tears began falling from her eyes.
"Do something you idiot…" Sora's mind said.
Sora removed his cap at that time someone was outside watching…
"Well, well, well the mouse has come out from its hiding place." the cloaked figure said and left the house smiling to his self.
Sora held Kairi's hand.
"Kairi…" Sora said softly.
Kairi looked at him that was the first time she heard her name come out of his mouth. All those time she would hear him call her hey or something like that but now he called her by her name. She somehow felt warm inside, she looked at his shimmering blue eyes
At the playground…
Roxas held Naminé's hand…
"Hey Naminé…" Roxas said softly.
Naminé looked at him. His words reduced the pain she was feeling. She looked at his sparkling blue eyes.
That night in Uptown of Destiny City… Two different places, two hearts broken by their past and two hearts that are longing in a brink of light four hearts have found their sanctuary… with their love…
At Uptown's playground…
Naminé was bewildered as Roxas lips made its way to hers, but through all of her confusion and pain, her heart found itself smiling. She closed her eyes and let the sensation fill her…
At the Sakura residence…
Kairi was dazed at what Sora did. First he suddenly called her by her name and now this. His lips attached to hers and his arms around her keeping her warm. She clenched her hands but loosened it up and closed her eyes and let her consciousness drift into their little world.
Their hearts cried for each other so as their souls to find comfort into each others arms
End of Chapter 10

Orika: Ahhhh! What did you do?
Vampire Orika: What all I did was spice things up, you should thank me for saving you the trouble of making the ending…
Orika: But that's a bit too much!!!
Vampire Orika: Quit complaining it's already done and don't even think of changing it like last time.
Orika: What do you mean?
Vampire Orika: Don't play innocent with me. You changed my name at one Review, you dare give me such nickname next time you do that I'll make your life miserable… Hahahaha…
Orika: Okay I give up, at least she made the events occur in at the same time…
Vampire Orika: Is that important?
Orika: Yes it is, eventually they say that twin's are somehow connected telepathically to each other, they feel each others burdens one can feel the pain of the other and so on... Anyways I hope you like it, now the hearts have open up for their selves but along with it lies a danger ahead of them. My story is nearing climax!!! Now how in the world will I have those two return in Uptown…? Any bright ideas there dear Readers, should I make the Hikari twin wear dresses and look like females again while the Sakura twins are males and they change outfits… Arghhh I'm running out of ideas and I don't want to let my alter ego do the work she'll just make something like the ending of this chapter or worst… I don't even wanna think about it…
Vampire Orika: I forgot to ask for a Review, when Orika read the page she got angry because I forgot to ask the Readers for a Review the darn Mortal isn't grateful of me encoding her work, just because I forgot the Review... Well any case I'll do it Review Mortals. Give the chapter a Review or else I'll visit you at the dead of night and make your lives miserable hahahaha...
