As usual, I think you guys know the drill, but just to be safe, I do not own Kingdom Hearts and its characters. I hope they're happy that I constantly repeat this on every chapter. XD Anyways, thank you Mimosa114 and RoXamine for following and reviewing this story throughout this time.

Chapter 5: The Accidental Meeting

During the midst of all the mass confusion happening in the room Where Nothing Gathers, a young black haired girl with a bob cut couldn't help but notice her best friend's reaction to that other blonde girl. Seeing the way he looked away and blushed made her feel… uncomfortable. Yes, very uncomfortable, since he never reacted like that around her at all, especially when she had known him for a lot longer than that cute servant that got off of punishment.

All Xion felt was pure relief as soon as the Superior Xemnas dismissed the torturous session. It wasn't long and boring, but she already had a feeling of distaste after seeing those two blondes contacting each other for the first time in all their lives. Sadly, as Axel and Roxas reunited to look for her in order to complete the trio and have the usual ice cream, she immediately took off on a side mission in the messed up world of Wonderland, assigned by the Luna Diviner as an escape from the weird feeling inside her gut.

Xion smiled softly to herself as she walked out of the Corridor to Darkness, trying to rid herself of that feeling growing within her minute by minute. Shaking her head, she took a step forward from the rose platform that she stood on, but to only wobble her arms in pure panic as she accidently took the wrong step and literally slipped downwards to the ground below her.

"Wo-WO-WOAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHH HHHHHHH!"

Fortunately, before the teen girl could feel the painful impact from the hard rocky ground below her, she felt herself being caught by a pair of arms that went directly beneath her knees and around her shoulders perfectly. Her right arm unknowingly wrapped itself around her hero, and more embarrassment tumbled along as he himself ended up tripping over a rock and fell backwards into the prickly rose hedge from behind the two.

To add further embarrassment, red rose petals ended up fluttering around and above the two youngsters in a romantic fashion used in weddings, rendering both faces to heat up even further. Worst of all, they don't even know each other at all.

Xion groaned as she lifted her head up from underneath her savior's chin and attempted to hide her blush by turning away. But, just when she raised her head upwards, she couldn't help but to gape at the sight of the older and more mature young man that saved her. The poor girl with the bob cut couldn't help but to blush tremendously as he brushed his long silvery bangs aside to let his pretty blue zircon eyes stare register what truly occurred during the past few minutes.

He only took a few seconds to study the girl that he caught in time before she could potentially break her back, and immediately averted his eyes to the surrounding environment to avoid making the atmosphere even more awkward as she did the same; more as in looking over his shoulder to scan the damage that they performed on the Queen of Hearts' beloved rose hedge.

It took a few more seconds of the awkward silence before the young man cleared his throat to ask, "Miss, are you alright?"

"Y-yes… I am fine.. and thank you for catching me." Xion flushed even further after staring into his pretty gems for the second time of her life.

"Are you sure you didn't actually feel any pain from the fall?" The handsome lad persisted, really hoping he did justice on her part, even if he never actually encountered her in his life before.

Xion could only nod her head as she tried her best to force herself to look away from his charming face, but just couldn't. She was supposed to be a Nobody, completely devoid of feelings, and yet looking at this guy made her feel a lot different from usual.

For the opposition, this cute stranger looked exactly like his unrequited childhood love that chose the leader of the Resistance over him. But, as of right now, his broken heart was not the main problem to fix, it was that infuriating bluenette that managed to get lost during the midst of transporting her to one of their secret hideouts, only leaving a blue star shaped trinket outside the coffin as a momento that he failed to let the well thought out plans go smoothly.

But… before he could ask himself even ask himself further questions, Xion slowly shifted away from the silver haired savior to slowly stand up while dusting off the rose petals from her black coat; Just when she bid a final polite thank you and farewell, the youth immediately stood up to get going as well.

Just when he watched her leave, he suddenly ran up to her from behind with a strange impulse radiating from within him, and stopped her just in time to place a surprisingly perfect rose into her hand for some unknown reason before running off in a different direction… Xion could only stand there with wide sapphire eyes and with a blank mind and face that burned even more than the boiling point of water….

Will she ever have this strange… but pleasant meeting again? After all… she may be a Nobody, but after dealing with Roxas blushing around another girl… maybe she was meant to be with someone else the entire time, and that she wouldn't know.. only fate could entwine people's destinies together in strange ways….

I KNOW I know... Roxas is supposed to be Xion, and Xion is meant to be with Roxas.. blah blah blah. But I am sorry again, I do not support RoxasxXion due to the fact I dislike narcism and I could only see their platonic relationship as bffs or siblings, plus I already sort of cemented that Roxas and Namine are prominent in this story. I know Riku was trying his best to do anything to get Sora to wake up in the original game, but so far, Xion was the only girl I could truly see for him being his potential girlfriend, even if she was a part of Sora. The only other man that I would pair Xion with was Vanitas, but not in this story.

RikuxXion and RoxasxNamine were both side couples that serve to be more of comic relief from many tensions that were to occur soon within this story, along with the many antics of the Organization XIII members coming up, so stay tuned. RikuxXion serves more of a foreshadowing pairing though, but I think you guys already got hints out of this, so I won't ramble much from this point on. XD

I promise that the next chapter will head back to Aqua and Xemnas, along with Namine being constantly by her side... but ya..

Btw, sorry if I made both Riku and Xion sound extremely OOC here... but this was my actual first attempt at writing these two.. so if you have any constructive critisms to make, feel free to leave a review after finishing this chapter :D
