Chapter Six

Riku's POV

Man this week had been stressful. DiZ was all stressed out because worlds were getting consumed by darkness left and right, and Sora hadn't been seen in a while. I hadn't seen him since a few months ago, and he had told me he was going to hit all corners of the universe to save worlds, so he could be anywhere. Since DiZ was so stressed out, Larxene and Axel had been all tense, getting the rest of us to run crazy errands and do all the work. IT WAS DRIVING ME CRAZY.

"Riku, could you help me with this...thing...?" Namine called through the screen adjoining our rooms, as she struggled to pull a strange contraption through the window it was being raised into. This was Tyson's so called 'genius' way of moving things that couldn't fit through the doors into rooms. Hardly genius.

"RIKU!" Namine's frustrated voice rang out again, and I slauntered into the room casually. "You call me?" I asked, a light smirk playing on my face. Namine glared at me, and motioned with her head to get the heck over there. I grinned and grabbed the other side of the dresser, as I now saw it was, and easily heaved it into the room through the window.

Namine looked slightly peeved at my lack of effort, and to save her dignity, said, "It was a bit awkward, but I could have done it."

"Yeah sure," I laughed as I plopped myself onto her unmade bed. "So what do we have to do once we move all the unused furniture?" I asked as I leaned back on Namine's pillow. She gave a look of disgust at my dirty hands being on her bed, and swiftly pushed me off onto the floor.

"Hey!" I sat up, and brushed my black shirt off. Namine rolled her bright blue eyes, and said with a measure of irritation, "I have to go into town after this and deal with some business, but other than that, nothing." I nodded, and stood up.

"Well I guess we better get this stuff moved before Larxene has a fit," I said as I began sliding the dresser across the floor into the hallway.

2 hours later we had finally finished moving everything, and Namine had left to take care of her 'business'. I had a nagging feeling she was hiding something, but I didn't feel like investigating. Namine had always been kind of secretive, and held back, as though afraid to just be herself. I figured it had something to do with her past, and I had tried with all of my patience(which is very little) to get her to loosen up without success.

"Hey Riku, you going to the club tomorrow?" I looked up to see Marluxia standing there. As much of a serious guy he was, he loved to go out at night, and a lot of the time I just went with him for kicks.

"Sure. Maybe I can get Tyson and Namine to come too," I trailed off, trying to figure out how we could that. I shook my head to get rid of the thought and looked at Marluxia to see he was grinning. That was pretty weird for him, trust me.

"What are you smiling for," I said with fake anger. "Nothing, nothing. I just don't think Namine would want to see you drunk especially tomorrow..." I looked at him confused. What could he mean about tomorrow. There was nothing special about it was there?

Marluxia shook his head and walked out. I sighed and pulled on my shoes to go for a walk.

Namine's POV

I rushed through town quickly, clutching an old file in my hands. I was on my way to the local post office, to see if there was any records of Sabrith's Point, the place where what was left of my family was currently living. I had read in the newspaper earlier in the morning and had seen that Sabrith's Point had been under siege by heartless.

I ran up to the bulletin board, which held the listings of people reported missing from different worlds; in other words, people who had been taken and transformed into heartless. I scanned the list with dread and came to Sabrith's Point. What I saw made my heart sink. The only thing the list read was NO ONE FOUND.

This was far worse than I had expected. My only brother, and cousin, were gone. They were heartless now. Never to come backs humans. It didn't bother me that my parents were gone, all they had done in my life was cause me grief. But my brother, Alayin, and cousin, Shawny, had always been so kind to me. They had helped me in the worst of times. And now they were gone.

I rushed out of the shop with a heavy heart and light feet, running quickly to any quiet place I could find. I passed many people as I ran, and when I looked up, trough tear stained eyes, I could see Riku approaching me. I turned from him and ran the other direction, not wanting him to see me. Not wanting anybody to see me. All anybody would say was that I was weak.

I finally turned down a narrow, dark alley, and sank to the ground in a helpless heap. I sobbed without control. I felt like I had let them down. If only I had been able to stay with them, maybe I could have helped them escape. But now there was nothing I could do.

What was worse was that I would always remember the day as the day before my birthday. My sixteenth birthday.
