I do not own KH, if I did I wouldn't be writing fic, I'd be out there making KH3 and an anime series of it! D:
Review!
We waited in absolute silence until we were sure that the two scary looking guys were gone and started to sneak around again.
It was annoying that our school was so damn big, and that there were so many places to look, but we were finding Riku no matter what.
Everyone was starting to get worried.
We had been searching for a good 20 minutes and had still found no signs of Riku.
"I'll try his mobile again" Sora whispered, but it just went straight to voicemail.
"You've reached Riku. I'm obviously not here, so try not to miss me too much"
"Dammit! Where is he?" Roxas groaned.
"We have to find him..." Xion whispered in a teary voice.
I put my arm around her.
"It's ok, we won't stop looking until we-"
"URGHHH!"
We froze.
"...You stupid bastard, to think that...could take on my...you fucking..."
We could only hear certain parts of what was being said.
"Roxas call Hayner. Quick." Sora threw his phone to his brother. "We may need some backup because I don't like the sound of what is happening"
Roxas speed dialed Hayner, who answered the phone so loudly that I could hear the whole conversation.
"Hayner! We need you at school, behind the sports shed, right now!" Roxas hissed furiously into the phone.
"Aw but I *yawn* just fell asleep and Olette's over..." Hayner trailed off.
Olette was over?
This gained some weird looks from everyone except Xion who had absolutely no idea who Olette was.
"Listen, I don't care what you are doing, actually I don't even want to know, but Riku is missing and we just heard someone getting beat up..." Roxas explained what had happened.
"Aw, ok. Lemme get changed and I'll be there soon" he hung up.
"OLETTE WAS-"
"SHH!" I hissed at Kairi.
"Right, sorry..." she whispered.
We waited another 10 minutes before Hayner turned up, and in that 10 minutes we heard another pained groan and more yelling from around the corner.
"Holy shit, this can't be good" Hayner said as we heard people cheering again.
Thanks for the confidence boost, Hayner.
"Ok, here is what we're gonna do" said Sora taking charge. "You girls stay here. We don't want you getting hurt-"
He was cut off by our bitchy protests and rolled his eyes.
"Fine. Come if you want but you need to be careful cos I don't think that this is going to be pretty" he sighed in defeat.
"...YOU FUCKING..." cheers erupted again.
"Can we please just go now!" Xion pleaded in a teary voice.
Sora nodded and Roxas chucked me his video camera.
"Hide it in a bush or something. Don't turn it on" He told me firmly.
Usually I would have said: 'It's ok Roxas, I don't want to see your home made porn tapes' but it wasn't really the time or place for crude humor, so I just hid the camera under a near by bush, resisting the urge to stamp on it and ruin his stupid video of the awards ceremony.
Roxas, Hayner and Sora darted round the corner.
We heard a gasp.
"What did you do to him?!" we heard Sora yell at someone.
"This bastard here..." a gravely voice dived into a lecture.
We couldn't hear the rest of what was being said, there were too many people yelling.
Xion's mouth was frozen with horror.
"Are you ok?" Kairi hissed at her.
"...I-I know that voice...S-Seifer..." she replied in a choked tone.
"Who is 'Seifer'?" I asked.
"My ex" she replied coldly.
Uh oh.
"He's seen me with Riku!" she burst into tears.
"Well that bastard can piss off" Kairi said angrily. "I'm going over there to smash his ugly face in"
"Really?" I asked in a monotone.
"Hmmm. Actually I'm kinda scared" she admitted quietly.
"Then we'll all go, the boys might need our help" I stated.
We walked to where the corner of the sports shed was and hid there.
What we saw was absolutely horrific.
Riku was lying crumpled on the ground in a fetal position, his face was bloody and we could see that he had a black eye.
I didn't even know if he was conscious or not, which really scared me.
Xion was about to scream but Kairi slammed her hand over her mouth so that we didn't draw attention to ourselves.
We stood there, horror struck for what could have been minutes or seconds.
"I'll call an ambulance" Xion said in a dead voice.
"Wait, we'll check on him first, he might look worse than he is" I said.
Ignoring the boys who looked like they were about to have a fist fight with the gang, we ran over to Riku, who had thankfully been left alone for now.
'Riku?! Riku can you hear me?!" Xion shook him with one hand as she held his other. Her tears fell down onto his dirty clothes.
No reply.
"Riku!" Kairi screeched at him, but he didn't bat an eyelid.
I bent down next to Kairi and Xion.
"Riku, please...move if you can hear us" Xion pleaded.
One of his fingers moved ever so slightly.
Thank god.
But our luck ran out there.
"Hey there Xixi...didn't expect to see you here, or with that piece of shit" a nasty voice hissed.
Xion spun around.
"You stay away Seifer and don't come near us" Xion warned him.
"But Xixi...I'd never hurt you" he smirked.
"Don't you fucking call me 'Xixi'. It is over and I never want to see you, your whores or your stupid gang again" Xion hissed at him.
He walked closer, still with that horrible grin on his face.
"Stay away you bastard" Kairi glared at him, the menace in her voice surprised me.
"Well aren't you a feisty little one? Hmmm I reckon Rai would like you..." he practically purred.
"Fuck off you jerk" I growled.
"You don't know who you are talking to you stupid, blonde whore" he death stared me.
"Ouch" I made a pretend sad face. "And I hate to break it to you, but you're blonde too, so lay off the insults moron" I growled at him.
Seifer walked even closer, and I could hear that the boys had started to fight.
"That stupid, white coat that you are wearing makes you look like you're from Yu-gi-oh or something. You look like a jerk and exposing your stomach like that makes you look like a Spice Girl..." I babbled.
Me and my big, stupid mouth. I seem to talk allot when I'm nervous, and right now the only thing I needed to do was shut up.
He looked like he wanted to kill me, and walked even closer.
"Stay away" I yelled at him angrily, while Kairi and Xion tried to get Riku to speak to them.
I hastily looked over my shoulder to see Hayner punch some big guy in the cheek, and Roxas and Sora circling these other two guys.
"Hmmm...no" Seifer smiled evilly and grabbed my wrist, yanking me towards him.
I heard Kairi and Xion gasp, but Riku must have groaned or something because they started shouting at him again.
I let out a blood curding scream and tried to kick him in the shin.
"Shut up bitch!" Seifer barked at me and slapped me in the face then he twisted my arm at a horrible angle which made me scream even more.
Everything seemed like a dream from then on. I heard someone yelling out my name, but it just didn't register with me.
I saw Roxas' fist connect with Seifer's face, and Seifer go down, but it didn't even phase me.
"Namine!" Roxas screamed at me. He dropped down onto his knees and cradled me in his arms.
"Kairi call an ambulance she's in shock!" Roxas yelled.
Kairi pulled out her phone.
What had just happened?
I looked up at Roxas. I didn't know what was going on, despite the horrible, burning pain in my arm and the screams of Seifer as Hayner and Sora beat him up, even though he was on the ground.
My vision was all blurred and I was starting to get a headache.
"Roxxxxxxasssssss?" I slurred.
He just held onto me and put his head on my shoulder.
That was when I passed out.
xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
When I woke up, I was in a completely white room that stunk of bleach.
My head hurt like crazy and for some reason, my left arm was all bandaged up.
Ew, why was I in a hospital?
"Namine?" a familiar voice asked.
I looked up to find Roxas hovering over my bed. He had a black eye and some cuts on his face.
Before I could ask why, his bright blue eyes looked teary for some reason.
"Oh Namine your awake! I didn't think you were ever going to wake up! You've been out for hours!" he gently put his arms around my shoulders.
Awake?
"You...Seifer?" I asked, starting to remember some of the horrible events which had caused me to be like this.
Seifer hitting me in the face and twisting my arm...
"Lets just say that Seifer's nose will never be he same shape again and he has some serious explaining to do" Roxas said coldly.
I remembered Roxas punching him in the face and hearing the crack as his nose broke.
"You...saved me" I breathed. It hurt to talk.
"I was too slow, and look what happened..." he mumbled and held my hand.
He looked so upset, I think that he felt worse that I did.
"No..." I started, mustering up all of my strength to wrap my arms around him.
He hugged me back, and I immediately felt so much better.
I felt whole.
Roxas smiled shyly and moved me over in the bed, laying down next to me. He held my hand very gently.
"I will make sure that you never get hurt again" he told me firmly, as he stroked my hair with his free hand.
"Roxas I..." I didn't get to finish what ever I was about to say, I must have fallen asleep.
When I awoke, Roxas was still laying next to me. I was feeling a little better but my thoughts were a little hazy.
I knew that I was safe with him there, and I didn't want him to move.
Kairi burst in the door.
"Namine - OH MY GOD!" she squealed with a huge smile on her face and pointed at Roxas.
I would have rolled my eyes but I couldn't be bothered. Roxas had always slept over as my friend, what was so weird about this now?
Oh right. He was holding my hand.
Yay.
Kairi walked in slowly, and I could see that she had a few bruises, but otherwise looked fine.
"Are you ok?" she asked softly but cut me off before I could reply. "Wow, someone got lucky!" she waggled her eyebrows.
I closed my eyes with a pained expression then I completely remembered why I was here.
"Riku-" I started and Kairi cut me off again.
"He is fine, very beat up but he'll recover. Xion is with him now actually. Oh and she broke up with Seifer because he cheated on her and kind of abused her and all bad stuff like that…you get the idea. I better go check on Sora now though, I think he over dosed on coffee because he was so worried about you guys, he didn't want to sleep, so now he is literally bouncing up and down in his chair. Ugh I'm going to need to sedate him or get a straight jacket or something" she smiled.
I almost laughed but it would hurt too much if I did so I suppressed it.
"I'll go tell him that you're awake...and that Roxas is with you...you know, Roxas wouldn't leave your room, and I suspected this" she grinned slyly at me, pointing at Roxas and danced off.
Before I could make the mental note to murder her, Roxas started to wake up.
He was still holding my hand.
"Holy...fuck...ugh...hangover..." mumbled he pulled a face.
"Morning sunshine" I told him sarcastically.
"Woah...why am I here...in bed with you-HOLY FUCK WHAT THE HELL-"
I cut him off before he had a mental breakdown.
"Can it Blondie. I'm in hospital, you fell asleep next to me. Kairi saw us and got the wrong idea. End of story" I grinned.
"Ohh...ohh yeah..." he rubbed his blonde spikes "Wait. Kairi? Oh shit, we're in for it now" he groaned.
"Oh and your brother has severely overdosed on caffeine" I stated matter-of-factly.
"Great" he said sarcastically, looking like he wanted to pass out on the spot.
Right on cue, Sora (literally) bounced in the door, his electric blue eyes were overly animated and slightly bloodshot. His hands were shaking.
Kairi ran in after him, reminding me of someone chasing after an over-excited puppy.
Eeep.
"WOAH ROXAS WHATTARE YOU DOING?!" he asked in a hyper voice.
"Having sex" Roxas replied casually.
"REALLY?!"
"Yes, Sora. Really, right here, in this very room, in front of everyone" Roxas replied sarcastically and rolled his eyes.
Kairi grabbed Sora by the wrist.
"You need to get some sleep" she told him firmly.
"Hop in" I said sarcastically, tapping the tiny bit on space on my bed that wasn't occupied.
"I need more coffee" Sora looked around like he was paranoid.
Kairi shot me an apologetic look but was smiling.
"How is Riku, Sora?" I asked him, hoping to get his mind off the coffee.
"Oh, he's fine. Well, he's well enough to be his usual snarky self, which is a good sign. I brought him a bunch of pink flowers as a joke. He went ballistic and I got in trouble from the nurse for antagonizing him" Sora grinned like he had just been awarded something fantastic and I couldn't help but laugh.
"Well that's great. But you should probably go home now and get some rest, you look a bit worse for wear" I told him gently. He was pretty bruised up and had a few grazes.
"Ok!" he grinned and looked like he was about to collapse on he spot.
"I'll walk you home Sora, and clean you up seeing that you're filthy" Kairi smiled blushing slightly.
"Sounds...kinky" Roxas grinned evilly.
"Screw you" Kairi glared at him.
"Nah, you'll be too busy with Sora to screw me" Roxas winked with his eye that wasn't black.
Kairi looked like she was about to murder Roxas with her bare hands, but just rolled her eyes and dragged Sora out of the room.
"You just don't know when to stop do you?" I laughed at him.
"Well actually, I do. She just has funny reactions so I like antagonizing her-" he looked like he was about to say something but stopped.
I looked into his gorgeous, blue eyes and my heart started to hurt.
Why couldn't things just be easy, like in movies or books?
Couldn't I just admit how I felt about him? Did he even feel the same way?
I whined to myself in my mind about how unfair life was, but Roxas interrupted my stupid thoughts.
"But you know what Namine?" he looked nervous, but determined at the same time.
"No. What?" I said, starting to feel my heart rate increase.
"I like your reactions better" he gently placed his hands on my cheeks and kissed me.
I mentally squealed, died, came back to life, and kissed him back.
My life sure is weird.
Author Note:
Well sorry for that kind of dark chapter, I suck at writing fight scenes, please forgive me for its crappyness DX
I hope you liked how Roxas kind of admitted that he liked Namine, but there is more to come :D
358/2 Days is kinda depressing, Whenever I play it, I have this overwhelming urge to hug Roxas and cheer him up, seeing that he is pretty upset, but that's normal right, to wanna hug Roxas...RIGHT?!
You know what would be awesome? If all of the Nobodies became Somebodies, I (along with just about all other KH fans) could die happy hahaha I'm getting off track here so I better stop :D.
Hope this kind of makes up for the short chapter before!
Please remember to review! It keeps me writing :D
