This chapter is a little longer, so hopefully, you'll like it :)

We're changing back to Roxas's POV for a bit. Whoo!

Am I supposed to do the credit thingy up here or something?

I'm not sure.. But yeah. HK belongs to Sanrio and KH belongs to Square Enix? Haha.

Get it? HK.. KH.. Anyways.. Enjoy!

Sincerely, the one who wrote this.

" Come on, Namine!" I smiled, feeling the tiny girl's hand intertwine with mine. She laughed, then sat down with me on the sand. We were at the beach. The tides were slow and steady, like the beat of a heart. The golden sunset glistened along the tides, and everything was perfect. I hugged Namine and turned into a living beet as she kissed me on the cheek.

" Aww.. Why do you always blush when you're around me?" Her smile caused me to turn even more red.

" Because.. You're.. Really beautiful, Namine. I like you a lot," I replied, rubbing her hands back and forth. She looked down and laughed again.
" No I'm not," she whispered. I stared with eyes wide as I made eye contact with her. Her face was warm and smooth as I lifted it with my hands. Those gorgeous shining sapphires made my thoughts go fuzzy in my head.

" Namine, you're gorgeous. Don't let anyone tell you otherwise. And.. Whether or not we end up as friends or more, you'll always be the beautiful girl that I met in March." Her eyes were filled with tears as she tackled me with an embrace. I blushed when I realized that she was on top of me, smiling and giving me quick, but sweet kisses. She then stopped, then stared at me and squished my face.

" Squishy face!" I laughed, stretching her cheeks as she did mine. " Roxas, that's not fair!" We rolled around on the ground, laughing in each other's arms. Namine was back on top when she looked up and screamed in terror. She took my hand as we sprinted in the other direction. I looked back, realizing what we were running from. That same black-hooded figure was there, chasing us with a knife. As we ran, the stunning, sandy beach slowly turned into the dark, damp forest that I dreamt of the other night. After countless minutes of running for our lives, the killer caught up with us. Namine picked up her pace and never let go of me. I gasped as I tripped, causing Namine to roll forward and hit her head on a tree.

" Namine!" I screamed, getting back up and barely escaping the fatal blow of the killer's knife. When I picked her up, and she screamed yet again. I turned around, and the killer was right behind me. I pushed Namine out of the way. She cried out for me as the blade of knife slashed at my neck.

" Agh!" I stood straight up and looked around, feeling my neck. No blood. No killer. No Namine. I took a deep sigh of relief as I scurried to my closet, getting dressed for my date with Namine. " That dream was real.. Too real.." It's been a few months since Namine and I first admitted our feelings for each other. I admit, the first two were agonizing because she didn't want to be considered a couple yet. But after that, it was going pretty well.

" Roxas!" my mom yelled, " When are you gonna leave?" I sighed, walking out of my room and towards my mom. She was always understanding and wonderful, but when it came to me and my siblings' love life, she tends to go overboard and freak out. I couldn't blame her though; She was just doing her job. My mom was also grateful about the fact that I broke up with Kairi, claiming that her and her family were strange and a little hostile towards me. She took one good look at me and adjusted what she thought was out of place. " Honey, are you gonna take your car today?"

" Should I? I mean, I just got my license a month ago.." She smiled.

" I think you're responsible enough to take care of you and Namine," she smiled, walking with me to my car. I bit my lip.

" Mom.. Are you sure? I don't want to hurt Namine if I'm not careful.." She laughed, then placed her hands on my shoulders.

" You really care about Namine, don't you Hon? Don't worry. You're a good kid. Nothing's gonna happen." My mom walked back into the house as I hopped into my car.

I walked around, waiting for Namine to get here. Her mom was going to drop her off, then let me take her home. She too was a protective parent. Considering the fact that I'm a whole year older than Namine, it seemed alright. As I sat down on an ivory, cupid bench, I looked around and saw the familiar redhead with my silver headed friend. She saw me and pointed, then sauntered over.

" Roxas! Is that you?" she gave a sarcastic sound of excitement, then snickered. Riku smiled at her, then wrapped his arm around her waist.

" Kairi, just go away. You're a bitch," I said, hopefully catching a glance of my blond lover. She was outraged by my words, proceeding to accuse me of being a cheater.

" No girl would ever want you! You know why? You're a dirty, evil, scheming cheater! All you care about is yourself! I mean, who would want to be with-?" She suddenly stopped as Namine was walking towards us. I gulped, feeling a bead of sweat gradually roll down my forehead. Namine wasn't her usual beautiful, shy girl act. She was.. Sexy, but not skanky. Her bouncy, curled hair fell gracefully down her shoulders. Her bangs drooped slightly over her right eye. That low cut, ebony shirt of hers caused me to blush intensely. It had little strings on the sides, which fell to the middle of her thighs. The alluring, purple plaid short shorts she was wearing made my heart skip a beat. They fell at the same place that the strings fell, and made Namine's legs look longer than usual. Her legs were well toned and slender, which complimented the small, topaz anklet she wore. I could've died with just one touch from this gorgeous girl.

" Hey, babe," Namine said, giving me a quick kiss on the lips. My heart was beating rapidly as she pulled me into an embrace. I looked back at Kairi, who was enraged and shaking at this moment.

" You.. You're dating?" She shrieked, running off with Riku. Namine only sighed.

" She's crazy.. Shall we go and try to enjoy this day?" Namine offered her hand, which I gladly accepted.

Namine smiled as we walked through the mall, hand in hand. We went shopping a bit, but saw and bought a few things we actually liked.

" Oh gosh! A Hello Kitty boutique! Roxas, we HAVE to go!"

" You like Hello Kitty?" I inquired, following her into the store. One look, and Namine fell in love. She squealed in utter happiness and took me to run around with her. There was a section for a bunch of animal creature things: Chococat, Badtz-Maru, Cinnamoroll, Charmy Kitty, and mostly, Hello Kitty. What I guessed to be the minor characters were spread out amongst the many other sections.

" Roxas! What do you think of this?" Namine was holding up a yellow messenger bag. It had apples and a panda on it, with the word " Pandapple" on it. " Guess what his name is?" She jumped up and down, grabbing the attention of many toddlers and children.

" Um.. I'm gonna take a random guess and say.. Pandapple.." I laughed as she smiled and ran like a child to another section. Total time spent: 1 hour, 20 minutes. Total money spent: I couldn't even count. Namine had money saved up from her previous birthday, and spent half of it in this store. Unlike Kairi, Namine didn't make me hold all her bags. She insisted on carrying them on her own. Her face turned red as she struggled to carry her many bags, which all came from the Hello Kitty boutique.

" Hon, let me carry some of those for you," I said, holding my hands out. She simply nodded, sat on the nearest bench, and slammed everything down next to her. She gasped heavily. I laughed, sitting down as well.

" Why aren't you sitting.. Sitting next.. To.. To me?"

" Because all of these bags are taking the two next to you," I snickered. She smiled, placing them on the floor. I picked them back up as I got on my legs.

" Here. Let's get these to the car, and then we can head to the beach." Namine got up as well, taking the other half.
