HnH: Oh. My. Kami. Daisuke, you've been screaming 'No' for 39 days straight! Didn't you run out of oxygen yet?
Dark: Daisuke's full of hot air! Well, I guess /I/ can say that, but HnH can't 'cause she doesn't own him! Or...anything else in this story!
Daisuke: -tackles Dark, while still screaming 'No'-
Risa: DARK! DAISUKE, GET OFF OF DARK! -tries to pry Daisuke off of Dark-
HnH: -cough- Anyways, I don't own KH2, or anything else in this story. I also want to thank you all for reading and reviewing! 'Specially Aesura, loved your review for chapter 5. Huh...those are good ideas...I say 'Kami' because 'Kami' is 'God' in Japanese, and I dunno...I guess I'm just religious like that.
HnH: Well, yeah, basically everyone watches 'The Key to Your Heart' it's the equivalent to...American Idol or some other show you can't live without. xP Don't worry, Kazzamy, Riku's not all that hot, either. But Kairi has to give him a chance, y'know?
HnH: Anyway...if you all want me to write a side story about Roxas and the Organization, state it in your review. If I get...5 requests I'll do it. 'Kay? Also, no one noticed the two REALLY big mistakes I did in the last chapter. Did anyone notice and they didn't tell me? I read it over and I was like 'Man, I can't believe I did that!' If any of you can tell me my mistakes in the last chapter...I'll...I don't know. I'll write out a special scene that you want me to write out.
Minna Genki: Similiar to 'Hello, Cleaveland!'
Warning: Some of this chapter has music lyrics, and you may skip them. They're all in Japanese, and they don't really have to do with the storyline. You may skip them if songs aren't your thing...but you SHOULD read this chapter. If you just skip it you'll be like 'wha...?' next chapter. Oh, yeah, there's one minor bad word in here.
Wait, I'm With Which Band?
Chapter 7: Defeated Band
"Here's the line-up for the A.M concert." Auron said, handing them a piece of paper. After a fun ride in the plane they were back in the pink limo(Mar had somehow managed to convince the pilot to put it in the storage room, it turned out that they were lacking passengers so it was possible) and they were driving to the concert. They had gotten their make-up done(the guys had struggled) and they had gotten dressed in their costumes.
"Alright. This is fine. The stuff is already set up there, right? You said the instruments were set up beforehand, and we got permission from the priest that used to run the church to use the organs and the bell and the church." Roxas said, and Auron nodded. Mar dropped them off in the field they were going to be singing in. However, there was a big stage that all of their things were set up on.
"I'll see y'all later, 'kay? You adorable things take care of yourselves! I'm going to be stayin' over sweet lil' Rummy's house, he moved over here temporarily, so I'll come by in a couple of hours, ok? I know you'll all sizzle, so show Japan how good you all are! N'Kay?" With that, Mar drove off. Roxas sighed. 'Rummy' meant Xemnas, though that was another rather long story he'd rather not explain.
After testing with the microphones and the instruments, they all decided they were ready, but they had another fifteen minutes so they took time to memorize the line-up.(everyone had the lyrics to their songs memorized)
"Ok, I've got it memorized. We get to perform first." Kairi said, and Riku nodded and flashed a heart-warming smile at her. She smiled back
"You'll do great, Kairi. I'll be cheering you on all the way!" He said, giving her shoulder a reassuring squeeze although she had never doubted her abilities. Even though she liked Sora, she had to admit that Riku was pretty nice to her. But she didn't really like rejecting people, and she'd barely gave Riku a chance, so...
"Thank you, Riku! With you cheering us on, I'm sure we'll do great!" She said, while Sora glared daggers at the seemingly oblivious Riku. Kairi, however, was unaware of the tension Sora was creating, and realized it was a minute before concert time. "'Kay, wish us luck!" She said as her band walked out. ((The way this works is that I'll put the singers' name in parenthesis before the lyrics they sing))

"Minna genki!" Sora shouted, and the crowd just roared. The girls, who were off-stage, even had to cover their ears it was so loud. However, the guys were enjoying every minute of the attention.

(All)Itsumademo waratte-itai kara..." Needless to say, the crowd was yelling everyone's ears off. They were having a good time and the crowd knew it. The girls were up next. They were going to do two consecutive songs then finish it off with their combos. However...disaster struck as they were about to sing!
The lights flashed off, and there was a big electrical spark coming from the microphone in Kairi's hand. She instantly dropped it. Suddenly, the drums tipped over and so did the piano. The curtains dropped over the audience's head so they couldn't see. Since it was daylight, they could all see, but it was still a little dark. A high-pitched, girlish scream emitted from one side of the stage. A low, boyish scream emitted from the other end.
"Naminé!"Roxas ran onto the stage as both he and Kairi shouted the latter twin's name. It was just as they suspected...Naminé was gone, without a trace! Kairi suddenly fell to the floor and Sora rushed on stage. In fact, everyone was on stage except Tidus and Naminé.
"Where's Tidus, Hayner?" Yuna asked frightfully, scared of whatever had happened to them.Somehow, she just knew he disappeared. Like Roxas and Kairi knew that the latter's twin disappeared. Hayner shook his head, and Yuna gasped.
"I don't know! All I saw was people in black cloaks drag away Tidus! I don't know where they went." He said, shrugging as Yuna held back tears.
"Why? What could they want with Tidus?" She asked as Olette came over to her and patted her back.
"Olette, you were the one closest to Naminé when she disappeared. What happened and who took her? Did you see their faces?" Roxas asked, but he was very scared himself. People in black cloaks? It sounded like the Organization, and it would make sense as to why Xemnas had a home in Japan. But the only question he didn't know the answer to was why would the Organization kidnap Tidus and Naminé?
-Flashback Begins-
"I've just got one request." Roxas said, crossing his arms. It was a little while after he initiated himself into the Organization, and as tradition they were playing poker. Luxord said Roxas had an extraordinary amount of luck, whether good or bad, he didn't know. All he knew was that Roxas was beating him at poker! And, every other Organization member too...
"What would that request be?" Xemnas asked, and they all snickered. Axel had just whispered Xemnas' nickname(although Marluxia called him something different) and Xemnas just sighed. "Do you all have to be so immature?"
"I know you guys break the law and everything, and sometimes people have even gotten hurt by you guys. But I just ask you guys to leave one person out of this and never hurt her...and that person is Naminé." Roxas said, his face turning a light shade of red. Larxene, who was sitting next to him hugged him.
"Aw...it looks like you're in love! Don't worry, we won't hurt her." Larxene said, letting go of Roxas and patting his head. "I'm sorry I hugged you, but you're just so adorable! Naminé is so lucky..."
"Could you stop patting my head? You make me feel like a dog." Roxas said, a little embarrassed. Then everyone(just to get him annoyed) reached over and started patting his head and called him dog names, until they settled on calling him Roxie.
"We promise, Roxie!" All twelve shouted.
-Flashback Ends-
"I think I saw Selphie in a black cloak, too." Olette said, looking up at Roxas and grabbing Hayner's hand. "Yeah, she said something about revenge and that's when she and some other people took Naminé. I'm sorry I couldn't do anything! But I don't know how to fight..."
"This is bad...real bad. I thought it was the Organization, but it can't be! They'd NEVER let Selphie wear one of their black cloaks, so it can't be them. And Selphie's such a crazed maniac, she's probably using her as bait." Roxas mused to himself, and nodded. "I thought she was in jail, but those people must've bailed her out. The only question is why they would take Tidus..."
Suddenly, Kairi dropped to the floor on her knees, hands holding her head. She was shaking her head and it looked as though she was in a tremendous amount of pain. Sora, being the kind soul that he was, rushed over to her and kneeled down with her and wrapping a hand around her waist. Riku, being the lazy bum that he actually is(we all know we chose darkness because the dark side has cookies and lazy bums love sweets) just walked over to her and looked at her with a worried expression.
"Kairi, what's the matter?" Riku asked, almost FAKING a caring tone. Sora glared up at him as Kairi let out a little gasp of pain and let her head rest on Sora's chest. It was a sweet sight, but it did look like she was in pain.
"She's not going to answer you, you idiot! Can't you see she's in pain?" Sora shouted angrily at him, then shook his head. He didn't want to say this in front of Roxas, but he had to. "Naminé must be in an extreme amount of pain right now, and Kairi's feeling just a quarter of it. Like twin telepathy or whatever."
"You mean that stuff is actually true?" Yuna asked, worry etched on her face. Roxas nodded, his face suddenly had a different look to it. It was no longer the adorable and kawaii face we have all come to know and love, it was...dark. Like how he had been in the Organization. It looked unfeeling and, just...
"Yes, it is. I'm going to go to Xemnas and ask him if the Organization will help. As I suspected, Selphie is back to her crazy maniacal ways. Tidus is in danger, too." Roxas replied, more to himself than to anyone. Sora nodded.
"Yeah, this IS really bad. Naminé and Tidus are kidnapped by mental people, and Kairi was in so much pain she passed out..." He said, looking down at the girl-of-his-dreams who had her arms at her sides and it looked like she was having a peaceful dream. "At least she's having a good dream. Roxas, it's a good idea if we come with you."
"...I'm not sure if Xemnas is going to like that, but we have no choice. It's better if we all hear when he explains it." Roxas said, then sighed. He reached into his pocket and pulled out a pure white cellphone. He opened it, and inside there were different-colored buttons. "This isn't a cellphone. It's a caller device so that any Organization member can call any other Organization member at any time. Even though I'm not apart of it anymore, I still carry it around." He only said so because Sora(who had Kairi in his arms bridal style) was staring at him.
Roxas pressed a pink button, and he held the caller to his ear like a cellphone. "Marluxia, get over here right now. Something's happened and I need to talk to Xemnas." Everyone winced when they heard Marluxia's name, but it couldn't be helped. He was a good driver and, supposedly, knew Japan pretty well. "I don't care if you're having tea and the scones are delicious! This is an emergency!" Another pause. "Marluxia, if you don't get over here right now I-Wait...are the other Organization members over there?"
Everyone waited in suspense. Suddenly, Roxas held the phone away from his ear and they wondered why. When they heard all the other Organization members shout, 'Roxie, we're coming!' as loud as they could, the gang knew why. Roxas closed the cellphone and sighed. The audience were long gone. Before, Riku had used the P.A. to tell everyone to evacuate, and they did so. Within five minutes, the pink limousine with a sakura(cherry blossom) motif appeared.
"Roxas! I'm glad you decided to join back up with us! The waves were so totally narley, dude! Dude, you missed out on them! They were so totally psychidelic!(spelling on that?)" Xigbar shouted in his usual 'surfologic' accent. Roxas shook his head.
"Marluxia! Everyone's coming with me! I don't think we can all fit in that tiny limo!" He shouted. The window rolled down and Mar 'tsk tsked' him.
"Roxie, Roxie, Roxie. Don't you know better? Never doubt the Great Graceful Assassin!" He shouted. "My limousine has room for every cutie pie in the universe! So all you adorable thangs get your sweet little selves right in my limo! Don't be shy, now! I'm sure you and the Organization will get along swell-e-o!"
Everyone had second doubts about this, but there was no other choice. They all got in grudgingly, but, surprisingly, all the Organization and the gang all fit, just like Marluxia said they would! Larxene, who was sitting in between Axel and Roxas, hugged the latter and patted him on the head. Axel didn't mind, because Lar-Lar always did that when she felt sorry for him in his love life.(Roxas always went to Larxene when he either had troubles with his love life, or was depressed with his love life and felt like he was a total and complete idiot that didn 't know the first thing about love)
"Oh, Roxas, you must be so depressed! The love of your life just got kidnapped by a maniac who's probably a crazed serial killer that's out to get her! But it'll be ok, because true love manages to break through every situation." Larxene said, hoping to comfort the only person she outranked in the Organization. However, it was just the opposite. He shoved her off of him and sighed, looking at Kairi and Sora, Kairi still in Sora's arms.
The sight was so cute, that everyone took a moment to 'aw' at them. Riku didn't 'aw', instead he just shook his head and muttered something. Probably in a sour mood, the sky-named boy figured. After all, Kairi was a beautiful girl, and who WOULDN'T be jealous? ...Exactly. After some long moments of silence(Roxas and his sad, evil-looking face really dampened the mood) they arrived at a HUGE mansion. Everyone got out and Xemnas led them to a meeting room where all the chairs were normal-sized. It was like a regular conference room.
"Now, what's on your mind? Tell us. You don't need to take a gamble at whether or not to tell us." Luxord said, throwing a dice at Roxas. It hit his head and rolled on the table. "You're really out of it, kid." He observed, grabbing back his die.
"Kairi, Naminé's twin sister, passed out because of the pain her twin's feeling. I can't imagine what they both must be going through right now. Naminé AND Tidus. But what really worries me is that Olette said that men in black cloaks took her, and Selphie was in one of them. I immediately knew it wasn't you guys. Hayner said the same thing." Roxas said. Xemnas had a shocked look on his face, but it quickly turned into an angry expression.
"Damn them..." Xemnas said. The Organization(including Roxas) looked absolutely shocked. He had never said the word he said before ever. That meant it was bad. Really bad.
"It's not the Order, is it?" Axel asked, looking at Roxas, then at Yuna, and back at Xemnas. "It would explain why they have the black cloaks, and kidnapped Naminé. But, it also means that they're both in extreme danger. The 13th Order will do anything to get their hands on Kairi! They were probably using her as bait to lure us out."
"The 13th Order? Is that some type of enemy of the Organization?" Yuna asked fearfully. "Why would they want Tidus?" She started to twirl a strand of her hair in her nervousness.
"No one can ever have enough hostages. The more they have, the more the cards are stacked up against us." Luxord replied, this time shuffling a deck of cards.
"Yes, the 13th Order is the arch-rival of the Organization. You see, it's very complicated, actually. The reason they want Kairi is because...well," Xemnas coughed, "the Organization is made of the younger twins, and the 13th Order is made up of their older twins. They'll ditch Selphie once they get Kairi. It just shows you how ruthless they are." Sora looked confused.
"What?...Then why aren't they after me? Roxas used to be in the Organization, so..." He looked over at his twin. "I don't get it!" Xemnas sighed.
"I might as well tell you. Everyone shut up and be quiet while I explain." The leader said, glaring at Demyx who just shrugged and held up his hands and shook them, like he wanted to back away or something.
"Why are you looking at me for? It's always Zexion who falls asleep with his eyes open!" The Musical Nocturne said, almost sadly. "Everyone blames me for everything just because I'm an upbeat nobody!"
"Demyx, you're somebody. Everyone is a somebody." Olette said, frowning. He stared at her really strange, and Hayner was glaring at Demyx. When she realized why the funny stares were present, her face turned red and she shook her head rapidly. "I-I didn't mean it like that! You're still a nobody to me!"
"Now that's just plain mean. I was just doubting myself so other people would compliment me, but it never works! Gotta think of a new plan to get noticed..." Demyx said, taking out his sitar but Larxene held out a hand, followed by a flash of green and yellow, and a kunai pierced the instrument. His eyes went wide as he ran off, crying about how Melody(Demyx named his sitar Melody) just got hurt like she usually did and it wasn't even Axel that time like it usually was .
"Nice job, babe." Axel said, slinging an arm around Larxene's shoulder, who just smiled and pecked Axel on the cheek. Xemnas coughed loudly, and everyone's attention snapped towards him.
"Anyway...we all have twins. Everyone of the Organization. We're all the younger twin, too. My twin is Ansem, Xigbar's is Briag, Xaldin's is Dilan, Vexen's is Even, Lexaeus' is Eleaus, Zexion's is Ienzo, Saix's is Ais(pronounced Ace), Axel's is..."
"L-E-A.(pronounced Leah) Got it memorized? Yeah, she's a girl. Looks nothing like me, though." Axel said, pretending to study his head. Larxene nudged him with her elbow in his ribs.
"She's one of my good friends! How we met each other, remember? You two look exactly alike! If Lea had more spikey hair, you wouldn't even be able to tell each other apart!" She said.
"Demyx's is Dyme, Luxord's is Droul, Marluxia's is Arlmia..."Yet again, Xemnas was interrupted. He sighed. Maybe he should have gone straight to the point?
"Arlmia is such a doll! She loves all you cute thangs, too!" Marluxia said, reaching over and pinching Kairi's cheek. Simultaneously, Sora and Riku punched him in the face, making him sprawl backwards into the wall. "Don't hate me because I'm beautiful!" He cried. Everyone looked at him strangely. Marluxia was FAR from beautiful...and, he had a twin? The gang made mental notes to never hang around Arlmia.
"Anyway! Larxene's is Arlene, and we all know who Roxas' older twin is. That's the only way you can be apart of the Organization. It's kind of like tradition. The Organization swears to you that you will be able to step out of the shadow of your older twin, who should be apart of the 13th Order. Of course, the 13th Order didn't get it's 13th member, who should've been Sora. The 13th Order is kind of jealous of us because we rock. Our Headquarters' is The Home That Never Was and their Headquarters is And Never Will Be." Xemnas said(it was kind of funny hearing him use the word 'rock' without, 'Let's hit Demyx with a' in front of it), and was about to continue when-
"Then why are they after Kairi?" Sora asked, the said girl finally starting to wake up. The Superior sighed. He would never get to tell the story of the 13th Order and Organization 13 if people kept interrupting him like this! He was supposed to be Superior! Not Inferior! Maybe people got his name wrong? Oh, scratch that. ALOT of people got his name wrong...though half the time it was on purpose...
"S-Sora?" She asked sleepily, then shot up. "Naminé's in danger! I...I saw her in my dream! I know where she is, and Tidus was with her, too! There's no time to waste, we've got to get to them as soon as possible!"
"Let me give you all the short version because I don't think I can finish the long version: They want Kairi because Naminé well..." Xemnas shrugged. "Let's just say we used Naminé a couple of times for our 'projects'. Kairi, you remember her absences in the months of June and August of two years ago?" Kairi nodded.
"Yes, I remember. Naminé told me she was going away to a camp for two months, but what projects are you talking about?" She asked, not pleased with the fact that anyone had made her twin lie. Then, she glared at Roxas. "Roxas! Tell me right now before I beat the-"
"Don't blame him. He was against all of them. In fact, he tried to return her to your house a couple of times but they failed. Naminé wanted to stay at The Home That Never Was because dear Roxas was there." Xemnas said, cutting her off. "Anyway, they want Kairi because of her virtuous heart."
"Virtuous heart?" Kairi asked, confused. "What do you mean by that? You're saying that I have a pure heart?" She looked at everyone, the confusion sort of disappearing from her face.
"Yeah, dudette. One you could so totally rock the waves with." Xigbar said. Though Kairi(and everyone else) didn't understand Xiggy's 'surfology' they kind of got what he was saying.
"That's what I meant when I said Princess. You don't meet a girl with a pure heart such as yours, everyday." Riku said to her, looking down at her and smiling. "And as far as those with pure hearts go, yours is especially so. Darkness will have a hard time taking it over."
"Darkness...?" She asked. Riku shook his head and smiled.
"We have to save your sister and Tidus, first. I'll explain everything afterwards, ok?" He asked, even though he had no intention of doing so, and he certainly WOULDN'T do so because he's just a lazy bum like that or maybe there was another reason. No one really knew...
"Where are they? We can't find them if we don't know where they are. Oh, I hope Tidus is ok." Yuna said, sighing to herself. They all looked at Kairi, who looked at them cluelessly.
"How am I supposed to know where they are?" She asked, shrugging. "I just saw them in my dream, and it was only briefly."
"You gotta close your eyes and MEMORIZE what you see." Axel said, pointing to his head. She looked at him like he was a maniac, and Axel's blonde girlfriend smacked him.
"That's all YOU think you need to do because you don't really have a connection with your twin." Larxene said, shaking her head.. "First, you have to close your eyes. Secondly, you've got to think of absolutely NOTHING. When you've accomplished that, you should see your twin's image. That twin telepathy thing has nothing on this."
Kairi did so. She closed her eyes, and, subconsciously(she was actually sitting next to Sora) gripped Sora's hand. She let her other hand rest in her lap. She didn't think, she didn't do anything. In fact, everyone was silent, but Kairi could hear the footsteps of Demyx from far away, but she didn't even concentrate on that. She just thought of...nothing. It was hard, actually. She did so successfully, but she just saw a flash. She saw Naminé and Selphie facing-off in a place that looked like the Usual Spot...No! It looked EXACTLY like the Usual Spot! But where was Tidus?
"I know where Naminé is. She's in Destiny Islands. The Usual Spot, to be exact. She's fighting Selphie. But, she's all I saw. I didn't see Tidus. I'm sorry, Yuna." Kairi said to the tawny-haired girl who just smiled.
"It's alright, I understand. We can ask Selphie when we get there. Let's go!" Yuna chirped, standing up right along with everyone else.
"Yes, we've got to save Naminé..." Roxas said, determined to save his love. Everyone else nodded.
"And we'll come along with you! I've never really seen you two kiss before!" Larxene said, giving Roxas a short hug and a quick pat-on-the-head. Axel grinned.
"Yeah, and I want to get the sight memorized." He chuckled, pointing to his head. Roxas' face suddenly became lighter and more kawaii as he turned a crimson. Axel didn't really mean what he said, he just wanted to lighten the mood a little.

Naminé had never been a good fighter. She had tried to learn the basics when she was at The Home That Never Was, but her heart hadn't simply been into it. She was an artist, not a fighter. Maybe that was why she was collapsed on the floor, maniacal laughter belonging to Selphie echoing in her ear...Maybe that was why she couldn't breathe...no, Selphie had silt her throat slightly. After all, the girl obsessed with Roxas had been fighting with a dagger instead of her usual nunchaku.
What had Naminé been fighting with? Nothing. She did give Selphie a good whack with her notebook, though. Now the brown-haired girl leaned over to Naminé's ear and whispered something to her.
"Now that you're out of the way, Roxas will be all depressed. So, I'll go to him and comfort him. Then, he'll fall in love with me instead! It's the perfect ending. But it's going to be for me." Selphie said. Naminé tried to speak, but words wouldn't come out. She coughed, and blood came out. It hurt so much...Her white dress was really tattered and blood-stained. Numerous amounts of scratches and bruises adorned her body. Selphie had really done a number on her.
"...Never...work..." Naminé managed to whisper, not saying anymore because she simply couldn't. It hurt to just breath.
"If it doesn't work, I can always just hypnotize him or erase all of his memories and then convince him that I'm his love life. Oh, does it really matter how I get him as long as I do eventually? See you later, Naminé...not." With that, Selphie left. Naminé shut her eyes. She didn't have too long now...but she didn't want to die yet. Roxas didn't deserve Selphie! Selphie deserved some street scumbag and theif, like, Sephiroth with those freakin' 16 bars of health and that freakin' long sword and being freakishly evil with those freaking hard-to-dodge attacks...alright, you get the point.
No, actually...Selphie didn't deserve anyone. But, the question was, did Naminé ?
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
I'm going to change the rating. FOR SAFETY. Yeah, yeah, I know. Poor Naminé! I bet all of you are going to try and toast me alive for making Selphie such a jerk and making her all evil and beating up poor Naminé. But I just looooooove Namixas. Especially when Roxas is all 'Noooooo!' he's so kawaii! (Which means cute, just so you know) Like I said before, if I get 5 reviews stating to write a side story I'll write a side story.
And if someone notices my two HUGE mistakes last chapter...then I'll write out an especially special one-shot of any pairing from any category. Give me a couple, though, as I may not know them all. OR, I'll write out a special scene. Aren't I being nice? Anyway...uh, my disclaimer crew(yeah, that's what the D.N.Angel characters are here for, actually) are, like, eating dinner or stealing something or whatever they're doing.
Oh, right. I saw a picture of the Organization 13 and below it said '13th Order'. Was that their alternative name? Ok, to be TOTALLY honest with you all, I don't really pay attention to the cutscenes. Only the fluffy ones. ;) The other times I just work with my muse to get some plots stirring. I know that 13th Order part didn't make sense, so I'm sorry. I'm listening to a mix of Passion and Sanctuary, and whenever I listen to it, it makes me cry and be all depressed and that explains some of it...that, and I watched wrestling and Umaga did-alright, nevermind. None of you care!
But, honestly, I intended for the little scene between Selphie and Naminé and Tidus' kidnapping ever since the 5th chapter. I know, I'm evil, aren't I? Sorry I got a little carried away at the end(with the Sephiroth thing) and at some parts. The last sentence was really meant to show Naminé's thoughts, but it sounds better this way.
And, FINALLY, big thanks to all reviewers and everyhting! Sorry this Author's Note is so obnoxiously HUGE but I have alot on my mind since I came back from Quebec! You guys are the BEST! -hugs you all- Thanks for the people who put this story on their alert list!
And a BIG shout-out to all of you who reviewed and put this story on their favorites list! I've got to give an Honarable Mention to Aesura, for giving me that idea. It's a nice idea...
I'm sorry, I'm just so grateful today! So, uh...review, please and thanks! If not...thanks for reading up to this far! I appreicate it incredibly, but, yeah...Just another thought before a couple of final words, the name of this chapter has to do with what Naminé is feeling right now, not that she got defeated in battle...You could say she's emotionally crushed right now..
Feedback's nice, I like it alot. Even if you're uber-evil, and totally flame me and try to kill me with some brass knuckles and a spork. Oh, yeah, I'm sorry about all you Saix fans who go crazy whenever that annoying double-dot doesn't go over the i...but I was just WAY too lazy to fix it...but, the accent in Naminé MUST stay. THAT I get /really/ annoyed over. It takes pizazz out of the story, you know?
