We Can't Feel
Chapter 14: Destiny Islands Pt. !: Home of the Paupou Fruit
Roxas POV
I awoke to my alarm acreaming. I remembered what day it was, and I jumped out of bed. As fast as I could, I gathered some clothes, and ran into the bathroom. I undressed, and threw my old clothes in the corner of the bathroom. I turned the water on high, and I jumped into the shower.
I let the hot water run over my body for a few minutes before I started to wash myself. I scrubbed my body with soap, until it was red. Then I ran water through my hair, and I massaged shampoo into it. I rinsed my body, and my hair off, and I turned the water off.
I walked out of the shower and grabbed a towel, wiped off the mirror, and dried myself off. I put my clothes on, which consisted of jeans, and a black short-sleeved shirt. I was happy I was going to see Namine today. Who wouldn't be? She's and amazing girl. I didn't just want to meet her at the clock tower and hang out there like we usually do. I wanted to take her somewhere, and I knew the perfect place.
I still had half-an-hour before it was time to leave, so I needed something to do. Demyx usually got up at the crack of dawn to practice playing his Sitar, or singing. He was actually a pretty good singer. With nothing else to do, I made my way to Demyx's room. Just as I thought, he was already up. I opened the door to his room, and I walked in. The floor was littered with candy wrappers and empty soda bottles. I made my way across the room, and opened the door to his own private studio. It was as large as a gym, and had bleachers lined up against one wall. No one was here except me and Demyx.
"Hey Roxas. Here to listen to me practice? I made some new songs." Demyx said. I nodded, and sat down on one of the bleachers.
Demyx grabbed his Sitar, and set up his microphone. Then he drank some water, and took a deep breath. Demyx started plucking the strings of his Sitar. It was slow at first, but then it quickened.
Because You Live (Jesse McCartney)
I couldn't see
that it was right there Because you live, and breathe It's
alright, I survived, I'm alive again, Someone…who
was there when all my hopes fell. Because you live, and breathe Because you live … I live Because
you live, there's a reason why because
you live (and breathe)…. because
you live (and breathe)…. Because you live…I
live… I live.
Staring
out at the rain with her heavy heart
It's the end of the world
in my mind.
then your voice holds me back like a wake up call
I've
been looking for the answer, somewhere…
But now I know what I didn't
know
because you made me
believe in my self
When nobody else can help
Because you live
(girl)
my world has twice as many stars in the sky
'Cause of you, made
it through every storm,
What is life? What's the use, if you're
killing time?
I'm so glad I found an angel…
I want to fly, lookin' in your
eyes…
because you made
me believe in my self
When nobody else can help
Because you
live (girl…you live …)
my world (my world) has twice as many
stars in the sky
I carry on, when I lose the
fight.
I want to give what you're givin' me, always…
because you made me believe in my
self
When nobody else can help
Because you live (yeah)
my
world (my world) has twice as many stars in the sky …
because you made me believe in my
self
When nobody else can help
Because you live
my world,
has everything I need to survive…
Demyx finished the song, and took a breath of air. I was wondering why he wrote the song. He usually wrote hard rock songs, not poppy love songs. Demyx took another gulp of water, and began playing again. This time, it was a slow tune.
Kiss The Girl (Ashley Tisadale)
There you see her
Sitting there across the way
She don't got a lot to say
But their's something about her
And you don't know why
But you're dieing to try

Shalalalala ain't that sad

(Go on and kiss the girl)
He ended the song and took a breath of air. Once again he sang a love song. What in Kingdom Hearts made him write these songs? Still, they weren't half-bad. Demyx prepared for his next song. He started off with a slow tune, but then it got faster, and then slow again.
Crazy For This Girl (Evan and Jaron)
She rolls the window down
And
she
Talks
over the sound
Of
the cars that pass us by
And
I don't know why
But
she's changed my mind
Would you look at her
She
looks at me
She's
got me thinking about her constantly
But
she don't know how I feel
And
as she carries on without a doubt
I
wonder if she's figured out
I'm
crazy for this girl
Yah I'm crazy for this girl
She was the one to hold me
The
night
The
sky fell down
And
what was I thinking when
The
world didn't end
Why
didn't I know what I know now
Would you look at her
She
looks at me
She's
got me thinking about her constantly
But
she don't know how I feel
And
as she carries on without a doubt
I
wonder if she's figured out
I'm
crazy for this girl
Yah I'm crazy for this girl
Right now
Face
to face
All
my fears
Pushed
aside
And
right now
I'm
ready to spend the rest of my life
Would you look at her
She
looks at me
She's
got me thinking about her constantly
But
she don't know how I feel
And
as she carries on without a doubt
I
wonder if she's figured out
I'm
crazy for this girl
Yah I'm crazy for this girl
Demyx finished the song, and chugged down the rest of his water. These songs were really good But that l;ast song, for some reason, made me think of Namine. But why did the song make me think of her? Nobodies CAN NOT FEEL.
It is impossible for nobodies to feel. I kept repeating to myself in my head
"Did you like my new material?" Demyx asked, while putting all his equipment away, save hit Sitar which disappeared with a flash of light
"Yeah. They were different. Didn't expect you to write those kind of songs."
"What can I say? I just woke up one day, and I felt like writing them." Demyx said while shrugging his shoulders
I wanted to inquire with Demyx further. I knew he wasn't telling the full truth, but it was time to meet Namine. As I thought about meeting her, I felt something flutter in my chest, but I shrugged it off without another thought.
"Gotta go Demyx." And I made a dark portal around myself, and I portalled to Twilight Town Clock Tower
Twilight Tower Clock Tower…
I arrived on the clock tower, and as usual, Namine was there before me. She was sitting on the edge of the clock tower with her legs dangling down over the side. She was wearing a pair of light blue jeans, and a dark blue short-sleeved shirt. She didn't notice I was here yet, and I stood there, watching her. I walked up to her, and sat next to her. This surprised her, and shook her out of her thoughts.
"Hey Roxas. Anything new?" she greeted
"Nothing much, but we have two new members. One is a old man, and the other is a emo dude." I replied nonchalantly, getting comfortable by leaning back with my hands behind my head
"Yeah, I heard. One of our members met them while on a mission." She replied
"Anthing new with you?" I asked, shifting positions so I could look at her
"Nothin much. Larxene is still being a bitch, and Yuffie is still trying to eat as much sugar as physically possible." She replied, and I chuckled at how hectic her life is
I stood up and flicked my wrist to summon a dark portal. I held out my hand to help her up, and she took it. Together, we walked into the portal, still holding hands.
At Destiny Islands…
We arrived at my portal's destination. It was a group of tropical islands called Destiny Islands. Namine was looking around in wonder at the tropical paradise. All she could say was "wow" in her wonderment, and I had to agree. I loved this place. We were on one of the many islands. We were standing on a beach facing toward a chrystal blue sea. Behind us was a green forest containing a varied amount of plants of all different shapes and sizes.
Namine bound toward the water, fully dresses, and jumped in. She started splashing around like a little kid, and she motioned for me to join her. I took off my shirt, and I jumped in, causing a huge splash. We started splashing each other, and having a good time.
"Hey Roxie, race you around the island." She said, and I smiled and nodded
We both took off at the same time.I pumped my muscles as hard as I could, but she is just to fast in the water. We went around the island, and of course, she won.But I let her win. Yeah, that's it. I let her win, I was being nice to her. I didn't lose because she is faster than me. Really. We got out of the water, and she was bragging about her triumph.
She finally quit bragging after a few minutes, and we layed down in the sand, and let the sun dry us. After about ten minutes of silence, I heard a stomach growl coming from beside me. We both started laughing, and I helped her up. We headrf for the forest in search of food. It took us a half-an-hour, but we found a tree bearing fruit. I climbed up the tree and grabbed one, then I jumped down holding the fruit.
The fruit was yellow, and shaped like a star. I broke it in half, and a sweet aroma filled the air. I gave half of it to her and we both ate it. It had a sweet, but tangy taste to it. I had heard of these before. It was called a Paupou Fruit. Legend has it, that if you shared it with some, and you both cared about each other, your destinies would be bound together. Yeah right, who would believe that?
To be continued…
Thanks Dark Jeylenx for encouraging me to get off my lazy butt and update this story, instead of Academy of Sunset Shores. I know I said the whole chapter would be about Roxas/Namine, but I need Demyx in it. I decided to split it in 2 parts.Part 2 coming soon. Hope you enjoyed, and I hope you review to tell me what you thought of it.
