A Nobody's Heart
Ch.6: Even A Nobody Can Love
By: CRAZY-demented-WRITER-girl
Namine stared out the massive window of the Twilight's View. Her deep blue eyes scanned the skies, then she lifted her head to look up at the heart-shaped moon. Xemnas said that it was supposed to be Kingdom Hearts, but she somehow doubted that.
"Namine!" The blonde whirled around and saw Marluxia making his way toward her, his black Organization robe dragging the ground.
"Yes, Marluxia?" she asked respectfully.
"Aren't you supposed to be taking care of that Keyblade weilder?"
"I already did as you asked. I already switched the memories in his heart," she replied.
"Did you make sure that they were good and mixed up?"
"Yes."
"Good." With that said and done, he opened a portal and escaped into the darkness.
She turned back to the view. The moonlight cast a silver glow on her face, making her blonde hair look almost white. Then her head dropped. Why had she done it? Just right about now the Keyblade Master would be walking through Castle Oblivion searching for his friends. In his heart, his memories were all fake thanks to her. Why did she feel bad about it? Because it wasn't really her he loved.
"Hi Namine." She whirled around and saw Roxas.
"Hi. Where did you come from?" Roxas closed his eyes for a moment and thought.
"I dunno. I can't remember." Namine let out a short laugh.
"I know that. I meant what room did you come from."
"Oh! I just got done with training."
"Xigbar?" she asked frowning.
"Nope. Axel. Axel's a way better teacher than Xigbar. He's always like, 'Dude, you can't fight. Dude, don't run away.' Heh. I don't run away from him. I run away from his stupidity."
"Roxas!" Namine laughed, hitting Roxas on the arm playfully. Roxas grinned.
"So, what are you doing up here all alone?" Roxas asked after they had stopped laughing.
Namine turned back to the window and gazed back up at the moon. "Nothing."
"Hmm. Say, Namine, do you remember about who you were before you became a Nobody?"
"No."
"Heh. Me neither. I sometimes wonder if half of the Nobodies do."
"Isn't it beautiful?" Namine asked.
"Huh?"
"The view."
"Oh. Heh. I guess. Maybe that's why they call it Twilight's View."
"Maybe."
"So you're part of the Organization right?"
"Yes."
"What do you do? I never see you fighting. Do you use magic or something?"
"No. I don't do anything."
"Okay." Roxas scratched the back of his head nervously.
"Roxas?"
"Huh?" Roxas turned around to look back at Namine. Their eyes locked and they looked almost transparent in the moonlight.
"Don't ever let someone tell you that your nobody."
"But...We are Nobodies."
"Yes. But you're somebody. No matter what Xemnas says. Even though you don't have a heart. You'll always be sombody to me."
"Namine..." His head dropped and a tear fell from his eye.
"Roxas..."
"Heh. You'll always be somebody to me too, Namine."
"Roxas, do you think that Nobody's can love?"
"Hm. Sure I guess. We may not hearts but we have souls. So I guess we can love from our souls."
"Namine!"
Their heads turned around to see Marluxia making his way toward them. He pushed Roxas to the side and whispered something in Namine's ear.
"Roxas, I gotta go."
"But...Namine..."
"Don't worry. I'll catch up with you later. Okay?"
"Yeah," Roxas replied disappointed. He looked back up and saw Namine was gone.
Sighing, he rested his elbows on the railing and continued to start out the window. Stars twinkled like a million eyes and the moon cast its shadowy glare.
"Hey kiddo."
Without turning around, Roxas replied, "Hey Axel."
"Lord, what's wrong with you?" His tone grew more serious and he added, "Did someone do something to you?"
"No."
"Then what's wrong with you? You still feeling that hangover from last week?"
"No, but I still can't believe that you blamed it on Demyx." Roxas smiled.
"Yeah, well he had it comin' to him. Especially after he stole my Moogle plushie," he muttered.
"Huh?"
"Nothing. But anyways, what's wrong with you?"
Roxas sighed and looked back up Axel, his electrifying blue eyes meeting Axel's stunning green ones. "Axel, can a...can a Nobody love?"
"What!" Axel yelled.
"I asked if a Nobody could love."
"Listen kid, its...uh...I'm...I'm not that way," Axel stuttered.
"Axel, you idiot!" Roxas hit Axel upside the head. "I didn't mean it that way."
"Then what did you mean it?" Axel asked, rubbing his sore head.
" I dunno. Just answer the damn question."
"Okay, okay. Don't get your boxers in a bunch. Lord. Now what was the question agian?"
"Okay. For the last time, can a Nobody love? Got it memorized?"
"Hey that's my line!"
"Who cares about the damn pick-up line?"
"Alright, alright. Can a Nobody love? Can a Nobody love?" Axel asked himself.
"Well can we!" Roxas yelled.
"Um...Hang on. Let me think. Can a Nobody love? Can a Nobody love?"
"Just answer the damn question!"
"Okay. No."
"Huh? What do you mean by no? Can't a Nobody love?"
"No."
"Hey! Where are you going?"
"To make Demyx sceam in pain." Roxas watched as Axel formed a fireball in his hand and disappeared into a portal, laughing.
Roxas's head dropped and he slumped back agianst the window. Was it true that a Nobody couldn't love? Then why did he feel something for Namine? He lifted his head, his blue eyes shone like fire. He didn't care what other people thought or said. Somewhere deep in his heartless body he knew that even a Nobody could love.
