Roxas: :P In your face Axel!

Axel: Hmph. I HOPE YOU GET SUED, HnH! BECAUSE I'M NOT GOING TO DO THE DISCLAIMER FOR YOU!

Risa: -is clinging onto Roxas' arm because Naminé is no more- I'll do it! I'll do it! HnH does not anything in this story where she kills off Roxas-kun's girlfriend!

Roxas: ...Just wait, Risa, just wait...

Wait, I'm With Which Band?

Chapter 12: Broken Symphonies: That's What They Play In Band;

And I'm just a forgotten m e l o d y

"Come on, Roxas! You can do this. All you need to do is go inside, say a couple of final words to Naminé, then sing a song for her." Axel said, slapping Roxas on the back. The whole Organization was assembled outside Ephemeral Chruch, with their hoods off their heads, Larxene was holding a bouquet of pretty blue morning glories and beautiful, snow-white roses. Roxas shook his head and back-pedaled.

"I-I don't think I can do this." He said, staring up at the church. The doors were wide open, as if to say, 'Hey, everybody! Come see a dead girl lying in a coffin!' Roxas didn't think he could see Naminé dead, it would devastate him. "No, I definitely can't do this." He mentally curse dhimself for being a coward, for being too scared. However, just as he was about to turn and run, he bumped into Xigbar, who was standing there with his arms crossed.

"I'll pick out the surfboard for you, dude, but just ride the tsunami. It'll be the narliest ride of a lifetime. But only you can ride the wave, it's like, calling out for you." Xigbar said, grabbing onto Roxas' shoulders and pushing him into the church. "I'm not letting you wimp out on the big one, dude." Then, when they entered the church with the Organization following, they all turned quiet. The only noises they heard were crying, coming from Kairi who was standing next to Naminé's coffin. Sora was beside her, telling her that it would be ok.

Some people were standing up, scattered about, others were sitting in the pews. Everyone was wearing black. It looked weird seeing Sora in all black. (Imagine him in his Halloween Town outfit but without all the accessories) Kairi, too. Usually she would wear pink or white. But, honestly, Roxas had never seen her wear ALL black. Soon, Xigbar pushed Roxas to Naminé's open coffin, the Organization members also paying their respects, and Larxene sent the bouquet of flowers down where the rest of the flowers were. It was the only time Roxas(and the rest of the world) had ever seen Demyx so solemn. The Musical Nocturne would've usually taken out Melody and play a happy song, but today he didn't do it. It was a special occasion.

Roxas didn't want to look at Naminé. Not just yet. Instead, he looked around to see what people attended her wake. Hayner, Olette and Seifer were conversing in a corner, not really paying attention to anything,(though Hayner scanned the whole place every now and again to make sure no one was getting any ideas with Olette) Aerith and Cloud(Olette's parents) were invited, and they were sitting down next to Kairi's parents. Yuna and Tidus were talking to Kairi and Sora,(They were so close Roxas could hear what they were saying) Tifa, Selphie and Yuffie were invited. Roxas had no idea why Selphie would be invited, as she was the main cause of Naminé's death!

But Selphie didn't remember anything, and she was hanging around Pence, who was practically whooping for joy that he got attention from a girl. What really came as a shocker is that Squall and Rinoa entered the church, all dressed in their mourning outfits! No one was really surprised, and the two immediately paid their respects, then went over and talked to Seifer, Olette and Hayner. Everyone from every Final Fantasy that I didn't mention was there, also. (As you can see, the church was quite packed)

The Mizus knew a lot of people, he assumed. Then, Roxas looked down at Naminé. Finally. This surprised him. The odd and dead ends of her hair were cut off, so her hair was even and it was curled and set around her shoulders to bounce, almost like Selphie's hair but longer. That wasn't Naminé's hairstyle! It didn't look anything like her. Her arms were crossed over her heart, her eyes were closed, and another thing he noticed: she was wearing make-up. The only time she had ever worn make-up was when Larxene did an extreme make-over on her. This...just didn't look right. He shook his head.

"I don't want to remember her this way." Roxas then looked around, then looked up at Xemnas.(since he was in charge of their Organization and was the eldest) "Hey, Xemnas, do you think I could-" He didn't get to finish, however, before Axel interrupted.

"Nah, it's fine! We'll provide a diversion while you do what you need to do. Don't worry, I don't have any lighters with me and I won't touch the candles." He said, and Roxas nodded as the Organization began to act stupid.(more than normal, I mean) They were acting so stupid that some people began to laugh and the Organization was acting retarded in front of the coffin and Roxas, so no one could see what he was doing. What Roxas did? Well, he was sure no one would really approve of it. But he did it anyway.

He leaned down, and kissed her right on the lips. Why? Because, he wanted to leave her with a kiss. But it's not like he was totally making-out with her, anyway. How could you make out with someone dead, anyway? Well, what surprised him is that when he did, he didn't feel any cold emitting from her. She felt...warm. His head shot up in confusion, and he hit the coffin door. It made a loud bang, and the Organization glanced at him, then began acting like loud idiots. (Demyx was acting more of a loud idiot than normal) Everyone immediately forgot about the noise they just heard and concentrated on the Organization who were making fools out of themselves.

After Roxas got over his migraine, he took off his glove and touched her cheek. No! She was warm! People who were dead were cold. But it was impossible! Naminé's heart had stopped! How could she be...alive? He bent down and pressed his ear against her heart. No beating. But she was warm! This was impossible! He went over and grabbed Vexen, who was deflecting cheery pies from Axel. "Hey, Vexen! You're smart, tell me something!" He dragged him over to her coffin and the Organization quickly filled the gap left by Vexen.

"What do you want to know? Make it quick, Demyx is about to suffocate from those cherry pies. They taste good, though..." He said, taking a sleeve and wiping the cherry pie off his shield. (Which is why his weapon is a shield. To deflect the random projectiles the Organization throws at him daily.)

"Listen, when people die...don't they turn cold? Naminé's warm!" Roxas said, trying to keep his voice down. Vexen nodded, then smirked and crossed his arms. Roxas narrowed his eyebrows and mimicked him. "What is it? Vexen, tell me or else I'll get out Oblivion."

"Well, remember the experiments we did on her?" He asked. Roxas nodded slowly. "There was a lot you didn't know about that. We manipulated her virtuous heart until it became so twisted that a shadow of it was created, the shadow of her heart interfering with her brain and making her being able to do things she would normally never be able to do: Like breaking someone's memories." Vexen said. Roxas was about to strangle Xemnas, but he could see Vexen wasn't done. "When she died, her real heart died out, but now the shadow of her heart is taking it's place. See?"

"No, actually, I don't. Naminé died of throat cancer." Roxas said, thinking, 'So that's how she was able to wipe all of Selphie's memories. Wait, does this mean she's actually alive?'

"Right. The reason why she's not awake yet is because the shadowed heart is eradicating all viruses within her body. The drawback to that is that she will never be able to feel again. She'll remember what is what like, but Naminé will never really be able to relive it." Vexen said. Roxas was lost.

"So...she's been alive all this time, and you NEVER told me?" He asked. Vexen nodded. "But I don't get it! How can a shadowed heart make cancer disappear?"

"The mutated cancer cells are being replaced by real ones. Listen, kid, don't try to understand it. Just appreciate what we did. Now, she should be waking up any minute now." He said. Roxas looked surprised, and the Organization cleared, hearing Vexen's conversation despite the noise they themselves were making.

"Alright..." Roxas said, unsure of what he should do. Larxene hugged him and patted him on his head.

"Give your Sleeping Beauty a kiss, Prince Charming!" She said, pushing him towards the coffin. He was about to turn around and protest, when he noticed that EVERYONE'S eyes were locked on him. Taking a sigh, and hoping the priest wouldn't kill him, he leaned down and gave Naminé a chaste kiss on the lips. Everyone gasped and Roxas heard some noises, and he knew that Kairi was going to try and beat him with an ugly stick afterwards. Then, he heard a collective gasp as he felt something wrap around his neck.

Then, the kiss was broken. Naminé was staring back up at him, smiling, her arms wrapped around his neck. "Roxas...I'm so happy I could see you again!" She yelled as she jumped out of the coffin and tackled him to the ground. They heard noises, and he guessed that a lot of people had fainted from shock. Vexen began explaining it all because most people didn't know how she was alive. But right now, the two couldn't care less.

"I am, too, Naminé..." He said, as Kairi, Seifer, Yuna, Tidus, Olette, Hayner, and Sora all jumped on top of them like a giant dog pile. "Can't...breath...!" He managed to whisper as everyone(after awhile) got off of them and listened to Vexen's explanation. Afterwards, all the girls began squealing and talking girl-talk that the guys couldn't understand.

"I can't believe it...Naminé had a second heart! That's cool, and creepy in a way. I feel bad that she can't love you anymore, though, bro." Sora said, patting Roxas on the back. He sighed, and nodded.

"Yeah, I know what you mean. But she knew what it was like to love me. She remembers what it was like. Maybe Vexen's wrong. Maybe she'll be able to feel again, in a matter of time." Roxas shrugged. "It doesn't matter, she's alive now. Besides," he turned and popped his brother one, "You should be happy for me, and you should be happy for Kairi!"

"Maybe the shadow heart thing was the main factor, but I think there was something else that brought her back, too." Sora said, completely ignoring Roxas. "I think if she didn't have anything to live for, nothing would've brought her out of the sleep. Don't you think? Kairi may be her twin, but," Sora cleared his throat, "you proclaimed your 'undying love that reaches the heavens' to her. That's got to mean something, right?"

"You're just saying that because you hope there's some hidden, deep meaning to that. I know you, Sora. You could never think fo something like that unless you somehow tap into my brain." Roxas said, both twins looked at each other and laughing afterwards. Even if it were for a little while, Roxas'd have Naminé back...even if it were for a little while...

"Are you going to leave the Organization now that you have her back?" Axel asked, suddenly appearing beside Roxas as Sora went off an played ring-a-round-a-posie or whatever they were doing skipping in circles like that. (Brings back bad memories...remember the scene when he got out of the pod in Twilight Town? -shudder-)

"I'm not too sure. Probably. I want to spend a lot of time with her because I don't know when another event like five days ago will happen again." He said, crossing his arms and glaring at everyone as all the Final Fantasy(including the majority of KH characters, minus Axel and Roxas) picked Naminé up and carried her all the way outside the church. Roxas and Axel followed.

"Hip hip hooray!" They shouted, throwing Naminé up in the air and catching her. "Hip hip hooray!" they did it again, then everyone stopped for a moment to look at Roxas, who nodded. "Hip hip...HOORAY!" they threw her up in the air and the crowd immediately dispersed. Roxas ran under her and caught her, instead.

"I-I thought I was going to hit the ground!" She said, a bit surprised when she realized she didn't go -SPLAT- against the concrete. Roxas smiled as Naminé wrapped her arms around his neck.

"I promised you, Naminé, that I'd always protect you."

-Few Weeks Later-

Everyone was back to their normal selves. Their bands were going great, Naminé was healthy, all was right with the world. Their bands were about to perform another duo concert, where they both performed, again. However, once they got there and started to set up, Seymour came to them.

"White Night, line up here." Seymour pointed to his left, as the boys did so. "True Light, line up right here!" He pointed to his right, and the girls lined up, facing the boys. "Now, everybody, Yuna goes over here, Roxas goes over there, you go with that band, she goes with that band–oh, wait! She goes with that band, nevermind! He goes-" Everyone stopped after switching sides multiple times.

"Wait-" They said simultanously, taking a doubletake, trying to memorize where Seymour sent them.

"Wait, I'm With Which Band?"
