Here's chappy number 6! YAY! No not really. It's eleven thirty at night, and I'm freakin' tired! But. I have to keep the peeps entertained! Luv ya muchly! ~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~

Navi shielded the light from her eyes; it was causing the barely there pain in her head to throb. She rubbed her eyes, and sat up, looking around the room. Her eyes landed on Riku, who was asleep, knees, pulled to his chest and his head lulling on the wall.

Navi smiled and crawled out of bed, walking over to where Riku slept. She sat down, Indian Style, in front of him, and reached out, her fingertips brushing the silver strands of hair that covered his eyes. Riku gave a soft moan, and stirred awake, his eyes blinking to adjust on Navi.

His eyes widen, and he got to his knees, wrapping his arms around her. Navi stiffened in shock, but relaxed after awhile, and melted into his embrace, "I'm sorry about last night."

Riku looked up, "God, Navi, you scared me. What happened?" He pulled Navi up to rest on his knees. Riku's aquamarine eyes peered at her.

"I just had a headache, I get them sometimes. Rarely," Navi nodded, and lay her head on Riku's shoulder. "I'm sorry."

Riku tilted her face towards him, "Don't be sorry." Navi was hiding something from him. He could feel it. Maybe it was too personal; he didn't want to pressure her into telling him something that she didn't want to tell.

Navi blinked rapidly at him, "Okay." Navi rested both her hands on his shoulders, and bit her lip. Did she dare try?

Riku tightened his grip around her waist; Navi was so close, yet so far. He didn't realize that he was leaning forward, his eyes mesmerized on her lips, until a knock on the door caused him to jolt back.

The door swung open, and in the doorway stood Yuffie and Aerith. Aerith seemed quite embarrassed walking in on them, but Yuffie grinned wide, "You really should start locking the door."

The Flower Child behind her giggled, and cleared her throat, looking away. Navi felt her cheeks burn, and saw Riku's turn a bright red. She sidled off his lap, and stood up, "Good morning to you, too."

Aerith's face turned red too; "You were lucky it wasn't Cloud walking in."

Navi's face darkened, and she brushed the remark off. "How are you feeling?" Yuffie asked, stepping into the room more.

Navi waved her hand, "Fine." She pulled Riku to his feet, "I'm getting dressed." And she disappeared behind Yuffie and Aerith, and walked down the hall.

Yuffie gave him a smug grin, and leaned on his shoulder, "You were REALLY lucky it wasn't Cloud who walked in." She knocked him playfully on the shoulder.

Riku tried to say that they weren't doing anything, but Yuffie giggled, and stalked out of the room, Aerith silently following. Riku blushed, and walked behind them, silently praying that they wouldn't tell Cloud. But they weren't doing anything, so-

When Riku turned into the kitchen, Navi was already dressed, and Cloud was silently glaring at her as Squall examining her hand. Navi looked up, "Riku! I'll walk you home!" She yanked her hand out of Squall's grasp, and shoved back her chair, not caring that it bumped into Cloud.

Navi gently grasped his hand, and moved between Yuffie and Aerith, and exited the house. Riku pulled on Navi's hand as soon as they reached the road to make her slow down. "Are you okay?" He asked, stopping fully. Navi was jerked back a bit, but she turned and smiled, "I'm fine." Her grin widened.

Riku frowned, and the grip loosened on her hand. "Listen, Riku, I'm fine. I'm all better, just don't worry," Navi smiled, rocking gently on the balls of her feet.

"I was just scared, it was like I didn't know what to do," Riku shrugged, and turned his back away from Navi. Navi frowned, let go of his hand, and placed her hands on his shoulders, "Well, I'm fine. See?" She bounded in front of him, and grinned.

Riku smiled, "Yeah."

Navi's face fell in confusion, and she reached for Riku's neck, tugging on one of his necklaces, "Squall has a pendant like this." She let the chain fall down her hand, and she stared at the dragon pendant on the chain.

Riku nodded, "It was his. He gave it to me after they rescued me from Ansem." Navi froze, and the hand around the chain tightened, causing Riku to be pulled forward.

"Ansem!?" She choked out, the color draining from her face. Riku took Navi's hands and removed them from his necklace, "He once possessed me." He said that with a tiny voice.

Tears started to stream down Navi's face, and she looked around; anything would do except to look at Riku. She breath became quickened, "I'm sorry, I have to go."

Navi gave a choked sob, and ran back in the house. Riku winced, startled at the door slamming. What was that? He walked to the door, before shaking his head, and walking back home.

~*~

"Why did you tell me about Riku and Ansem?" Navi yelled at Cloud, the sobs mixing with her angry words. Cloud looked up at her, a bored expression on his face, "I didn't think it was important."

Navi's breathing stopped, and so did the tears. She shockingly stared at him, the rest of her color draining from her face. Navi's shock turned to hard anger, and she glided to where Cloud was sitting. She glared hatefully at him, before raising her fist and punching him in the face.

Yuffie dove at her, grabbing her shoulders to prevent Navi from hitting Cloud again. "Not important!? Cloud! That IS important!" Navi roared, and her strength became too much for Yuffie to stand-alone; Squall hurried over and grabbed one of her arms.
Cloud sat in his chair, mouth open, amazed his sister just hit him. He gave a fearing growl, and stood up, sizing Navi in the face. "And I suppose your headache wasn't important either. What were you doing to get the headache, Navi?" The more he spoke, the louder his voice rain.

Navi ripped her arms out of their grasp, and stood on her toes to look Cloud in the face, "I was doing anything." She hissed.

Cloud grabbed her chin roughly, though Navi didn't wince, " How many times have I told you not to wear yourself out like that? You had to be doing something!"

Navi made an attempt to push Cloud back, but he wouldn't budge. She pressed her palm to his chest, and without the slightest effort, Cloud flew back into the wall.

Aerith gave a choked cry, and ran towards Cloud. Yuffie and Squall immediately made an attempt to grab her again, but she glared at them, causing them to back away.

Cloud slid back up the wall, shoving Aerith away, and starting back at Navi. Navi didn't cower; she grabbed for the nearest object she could find, and threw at him. It was a vase. Cloud's eyes widened, and he ducked, the glass breaking on the wall, and the shards falling hazardly on his back.

Navi grabbed at a glass of water, "Why can't you just mind your own business?" She threw the glass at him, glaring as it broke, getting Cloud wet. "What can't you just leave me alone?"

Navi picked up a bowl, and threw it aimlessly. It broke in front of Cloud's feet, and he stared, shocked at his sister. She was red in the face; the anger she was feeling was clearly visible.

Cloud stared at the three people watching them. They shook their heads, not wanting to get in the middle. Navi picked up another glass, and raised it behind her head. She didn't throw it though. She just stared at Cloud, her quickened breath slowing down.

"Stay out of my life," Navi threw the glass in the space between her and Cloud, before running out the door. ~*~

"Riku, open the door!" Navi called, pounding her fist hard on the door. She waited, and there was no answer. "RIKU!"

The door was quickly opened, and Navi's fist nearly came in contact with is forehead. Riku's stare was looking over Navi confusingly. Her face was red, and he could tell she was trying to hide fury. "Can I come in?" She asked in a tiny voice.

Riku smiled, and moved aside to let Navi in. Navi moved in gratefully, and Riku peered out the door, the sky was awfully dark.

"Are you okay?" Riku asked, shutting the door. Navi didn't turn around to face him, she just sighed, "Cloud and I got into another fight."

Riku frowned, and wrapped his arms around her shoulders. They stayed in silence for a long time, Navi leaning charishly into Riku's chest. Riku sighed dreamily, and looked at the window, into the dark sky.

His brow wrinkled at he saw a light shooting through the sky. A falling star? Oh no! "Navi!"

Navi turned, and screamed, pointing into the corner where a black porthole was forming. "Heartless!" She cried. Riku tried to convince himself that this wasn't happening, but his worst fear came. A small heartless twirling daggers stepped from the porthole, its beady yellow eyes landing on Riku and Navi.

Riku grabbed Navi's hand, and started to run towards the door, Navi flying behind him, when she let out an earsplitting scream.

Riku stopped, turned, and his blood ran cold. Navi was clutching her hand; a dagger sticking through the middle of the star on her palm. Her choked, inaudible screams were droned out by the thunder, and she grabbed the dagger, yanking it out of her palm. Handing it to Riku, Navi fell to her knees, clutching her hand.

Riku gave a small yell, and charged at the small Heartless, throwing the dagger at it. He prayed it would hit him, and his prayers were answered, it hit the Heartless, square in the chest.

Riku gave a relieved sigh, and turned quickly to check on Navi, but he found the space she was sitting in empyt.
