Van laughed hysterically as Jason and himself recalled their fight with Seifer, and the knock out he laid on his little brother, Roxas.

"Seriously, dude," Jason laughed, "What was that about?"

"Remember Blondie?" he smirked triumphantly.

"Girl you molested in the hall- yeah," the raven haired teen nodded, "Why?"

"He was the cheating boyfriend."

"Wait," Jason stopped, processing everything, "The girl who was cryin' in the hall, 'cause her boy toy cheated on her, was your brother's girlfriend?!"

"Yup," Van nodded.

"And you laid'em out?" Jason continued, "For her?"

"No," Van glared, starting to walk again.

"Not to sound like a dick-" he said.

"You are what you eat," Van smirked.

Jason just rolled his eyes, before continuing, "But... why?"

"Why're you a dick?"

"No, Ass, why'd you lay the bitch out?" he frowned, "You're the second biggest manwhore- next to yours truly- but this girl is nothin'. She's a toy for the monster that's called Vanitas."

"You're point," Van said nonchalantly.

"My point is, you helped this girl, instead of doin' the naughty," Jason frowned, grabbing his shoulder, a serious look on his face, "You okay, bro?"

"The hell are you talking about?" he glared, shrugging his hand off him, "I'm fine!"

Jason raised his hands up in surrender, "Hey, you don't need to convince me- I believe you."

"Right," he scoffed.

"Whatever," Jason sighed, "Let's just bail and hit the bar, yeah?"

"Finally you say something smart," Van's mood picked up considerably, the two leaving school grounds to start drinking. He knew he'd have to go see his step mother later, and that she would be pissed about him hitting her son for no real reason, but he figured that getting drunk now, would be for the best later.

Namine sat in the Nurse's Office, the sleeping Roxas lay next to her on a bed. He looked so peaceful like this, she wondered if he would even remember being hit. Probably, she thought to herself, that's not something you forget. The blond sighs gently, looking up at the white ceiling, a mix of emotions swirling around in her head. Hurt, fear, satisfaction, and others she could not- or would not- name. She watched the sun-kissed blond as he slept, her lips curving into a slight frown. Her thoughts turned to what happened this morning, wondering what she could have done to deserve this. Why would he cheat on her? Did he think she didn't love him? Maybe he wanted to be more… physical? Roxas has been quite handsy lately, but Namine always pushed his advances away when she became uncomfortable. Then again, why should she be uncomfortable, if anything, she should be angry! Her boyfriend- the man she loved- had cheated on her! HE told her that he would love her and only her and there we was, sleeping with one of her best friends!

Namine fumed as she sat across from the sleeping blond, glaring at him with bright blue eyes. Her small fists clenched at her sides. She was going to give him a piece of her mind when he woke up. But as soon as she found her resolve, it was gone.

(Namine P.O.V.)

Roxas groaned as his arm came up to cover his face, his icy blue eyes opening to try and see something, wondering where he was. When his ice blue eyes saw me, they widened in surprise, but that melted into a loving stare. "Hey," he said in a groggy voice, "How long have I been out?"

"Just a few hours," I spoke in a small voice, taking a sudden interest in my feet, "It's already final period."

"Damn," Roxas sighed.

"So, um... about earlier..." Namine fidgeted uncomfortably. She wanted to confront him about what she caught him doing, but wasn't sure how to do it without crying.

His jaw clenching as he covered his face, "I'm gonna kill that asshole..."

The flaxen blond froze, before realizing what he was talking about, and was all too happy to push the real issue aside for now. "Do you..." my voice cracked as I tried to form the sentence that was bothering. After clearing my throat, I continued, "Do you know that guy?"

"Yeah," the sun kissed blond scoffed, "He's my older brother."

"What?!" I choked out.

"Yeah," Roxas glared at the ceiling. "I wish I could say he was adopted, but sadly, that's not the case. We're a pair of twins, see," he started to explain, "Me and Sora are the second set of twins, but before us, it was Vanitas and his twin Ventus- but honestly, looking at us, you'd think Ventus was my twin and Sora was Vanitas'."

So that's why I thought he looked familiar..., I concluded, mentally facepalming at the fact that I didn't realize the connection sooner. "So," I gulped, "Why haven't I met him until now?"

"Well, other than his amazing people skills," his tone filled with obvious sarcasm, "He's been in jail the past two and a half years, and before that he was..." Roxas looked away, frowning, "I don't wanna talk about that prick anymore."

"Okay," Namine nodded in a small voice, pressing for information anyways, "So... Why did he hit you? I mean, are you guys on bad terms, or...?" She had a feeling she knew why he hit Roxas, but she didn't want to assume things, when they could have real problems.

"Are you kidding me?!" Roxas glared in distain, "I'm disgusted to just be related to that... that.. Freak!"

Namine frowned a little at his comment, but brushed it aside. She had no right to be offended for someone she just met, and barely knew. "Lets talk about something else then."

"Thank you," Roxas exasperated, before sitting up gingerly.

"So, um..." she was about to try and bring up the issue involving Selphie again, but quickly opted out of it, Want to start heading home? "The others will be waiting for us."

"Yeah, sure. But first.." Roxas caught her wrist as she turned for the door, pulling her to him as he spun her around, capturing her lips in a passionate embrace.

Namine cringed, forcing herself to return the kiss. The only thing going through her mind, being the fact that the last lips to kiss his weren't hers...

Roxas seemed to sense her discomfort, pulling back to look at her with concern, "Everything alright?"

"...Yeah... everything is perfect," she gave a convincing smile, despite her feelings. She wasn't ready to find out the truth just yet. She wanted to continue to be blissfully unaware of the crimes against her heart. After all, Ignorance is bliss... right?

"About time you got up!" Sora frowned at his brother, before getting thumped on the back of the head by Kairi, "Hey!"

"You okay, Roxie?" the auburn haired girl asked, ignoring her boyfriend's adorable pout.

However, that pout didn't go unnoticed...

The dreaded squeal of fangirls filled the air around the group. Sora's head shot up in panic, looking left and right. The fear in his cerulean eyes slowly faded as nothing happened. No Stampede. No screaming fans. nothing. Perhaps it was all his imagination. He sighed in relief. Maybe they're getting bored of having to chase me, he thought to himself, closing his eyes. A pair of arms wrapped around his shoulders gently. He relaxed against them as her chest pressed against his back. He took a deep breath, breathing in her scent. Hm, funny, Sora thought, before saying aloud, "I didn't know you used cinnamon shampoo, Kai."

"What're you talking about?" Kairi asked.

Sora's eyes shot open as he realized Kairi's voice wasn't coming from behind him. He looked up to see the shocked looks on his friends faces, before slowly turning his head to see the cat faced fangirl hugging him. He cried out in fear, attempting to escape, before the girl locked her arms around him tightly.

"GET YOUR HANDS OFF HIM YOU SLUT!"

"YEAH, SORA-KUN IS MINE!"

"NO, HE'S MINE!"

"WHY WOULD HE WANT A FREAK LIKE YOU?!"

"I WANNA HUG HIM TOO!"

"Kairi help!" Sora cried out as the fangirl dragged him from the group, the girls running off after them. The brunette's cries for help fell on deft ears as no one made a move to help him.

Suddenly Kairi turned to her other best friend, "Say Riku, don't you have a fan club too?"

"Yeah, why?" he asked.

"Well, how come we never see them attacking you?" she was truly curious.

"I don't reject them like Sora does," Riku shrugged, "If they want a hug, sure. A kiss? Why not. Sex? They need to buy me dinner first."

"...You're a pig sometimes, you know that?" Kairi gave him a stoic look. The girls nodding in agreement as Riku shrugged. "What about you, Roxas?"

"Hm?" he said, turning his attention from Namine, to her sister.

"How'd you stop your fan club?"

"Uh... well..." He looked up in thought.

(Flashback!)

"So you promise, if I do this, you'll stop harassing me?" an uncertain Roxas asked.

"Oh yes, sweet, sweet Roku- we will- right, girls?!" The leader grinned, the group of girls behind her cheering in agreement.

"Fine," he sighed.

"Great! Now, give us a sexy pose," she said, a lecherous look on her face as her and the girls giggled.

Roxas groaned, striking the sexiest pose he could think of, clad in nothing but a pair of Speedos. The flash of cameras snapping photos of his near naked body light the dark room, their perverted gazes making the younger twin feel dirty. He continued to pose, until the leader told him to change into the next outfit- ass-less chaps with suspenders and a cowboy hat. "Just how many of these do I have to put on?" Roxas sighed.

"Just seventy-six," she stated matter-of-factually.

"What?!"

(End Flashback)

The sun-kissed blond shivered at the memory, before coughing into his hand to clear his throat, "I just uh, sat down with them, talked about how uncomfortable it was, signed a shirts, and yeah, they stopped."

"I bet that's not all you did," a venomous voice said.

Namine blinked, her eyes widening as she realized she'd been the one to say that.

"What?" Everyone looked at her, taken back by her tone.

"Uh, I mean..." Namine blushed in embarrassment, trying to think of something to cover up what she said.

Suddenly Kairi gasped loudly, pointing accusingly at Namine, "YOU KNOW SOMETHING!"

"N-no! I don't!" she defended, throwing her hands up in surrender.

"Spill! How'd he do it?!" Kairi shouted, leaning in. Namine looked at the others for support, only to find that they were interested in knowing as well. When she turned to look at Roxas, she noticed his face at turned pale. Could something else actually have happened? There was no way... right?

The flaxen blond turned back to her aubrun haired sister, giggling sheepishly, before sprinting for the school gate.

"Hey!" she yelled, chasing after her sister. Kairi was a lot more athletic than her sister and caught up quickly, watching the panting blond as she struggled to breath. Kairi was laughing at her sister, despite the glare she was recieving from said girl. Their friends caught up to them, and everyone said their goodbyes, heading home. As Kairi took her seat next to Namine, she noticed the girl was deep in thought. "Something up, Nami?"

"Hm?" she looked over at her sister from her daydream, "No, I'm fine."

"You sure?" Kairi frowned, concerned for her sister.

"I guess... I'm just a little worried is all," she admitted.

"About Roxas?" The auburn haired sister noticed her twin stiffen a little, before she nodded, "Don't worry, it was just one punch, I'm sure he'll be fine. That brother of his is definitely a jerk though."

It was then that Namine remembered she didn't know about Selphie and Roxas yet. She sighed in slight relief, not ready to talk about it, before her eyes widened, "Wait, how did you know they were brothers?"

"Duh, Sora told us while you and and the teacher took him to the infirmary," Kairi rolled her eyes, "I thought Sora was acting weird all day. And it turned out that he was waiting for that brother of his- what was his name? Vontis? Vameris?"

"Vanitas," Namine mumbled.

"Yeah that," she nodded, "Roxas tell you that?"

"Uh, yeah," Namine blushed, looking out the window.

Her sister raised an eyebrow at her, but shrugged it off, before droning on about her day as she usually did after school. NAmine sighed as she watched the world speed by her, thinking about the days events, and wondering what she would do about everything. She concluded that today was a mistake, and that everything that happened was just a really bad dream. Her pink lips curled into a small smile, nodding to herself, Yeah. Today was just a bad dream. Tomorrow will be a better one.

Vanitas and Jason hung out at Van's house, drinking a couple beers as they chatted. His phone rang, so Jason answered it, pulling it away from his ear quickly as the little girl's voice yelled at him through the phone. He apologized and said he'd be home later, and to eat her veggies, only for the girl on the line to hang up on him. The raven haired teen sighed, earning a laugh from the amber eyed Vanitas. "She's such a pest, isn't she."

"Hey now, that's my baby girl you're talkin' about there," Jason frowned, "As annoyin' as she is sometimes, she's one of the only lights I got in this world of darkness."

"What are you, a poet now?" Van scoffed.

"Damn right!" Jason shot to his feet, smirking as he shouted a poem, enunciating every word with his hands, "The EARTH, moves not for ME. As the black-and-yellow black-and-yellow BUMBLEBEE!"

The two burst with laughter, before taking another drink to calm themselves down. "So, when d'you wanna head to the club? Its friday, so drinks are half off," Jason chuckled.

"Later," Van waved dismissively, "Lets grab something to eat first, I'm starving."

"Where to then? I'll drive," Jason offered.

"Paupu?" Van suggested.

"Paupu," he agreed.

Van sighed a little, nodding as he got up to change his clothes into something more party like.

Namine went straight to her room when she got home, collapsing on her bed with an exhausted sigh. She didn't want to move. The fluffy white comforter lulled her into a peaceful state, smiling to herself, she was ready to give into the whims of sleep. That is until her bedroom door slammed against the wall. She was unable to roll away in time to dodge her sister, who dropped onto her heavily. "Kairi! Get off! You're heavy!" she compainted, trying to push her sister off of her.

"But Nami, I'm boooooored!" she groaned.

"Then go play Super Mario!"

"But that's no fun without someone to play with!"

"Kairi!

"Ugh, what's up your butt?!" Kairi pouted, getting off of her sister, looking down at the exhausted girl, thinking. Namine looked up at her sister a shiver running down her spine as she knew she was coming up with some diabolical plan to ruin Namine's peaceful night. Sadly, before the blond could protest, her sister shot to her feet, grinning, "You know what! You need to get out more! Get a shower and change, we're going to Paupu Palace tonight!"

"But Kairi, I don't-" Namine began to protest.

"If you don't do as I say, I will tie you down, and make you watch as I have Axel burn your sketchbook- page. By. Page." she threatened, the sweetest, most innocent smile on her lips. She laughed villainously at the look of horror her sister was giving her as she left, slamming the door behind her.

"YOU MONSTER!"

They arrived at the beach at dusk, the sky a blend of deep red, orange, and purple as the sun began its descent. The lights of the restaurant-slash-club strobe along the sand, the music filling the air. Her blue eyes shifted around, looking for something to use as an excuse for getting out of this, but her sister's grip on her arm was tightening around her wrist the closer they got to the spot. Kairi waved to someone, before Namine realized that she was waving to Sora and Riku. "Hey!"

"About time you got here," Riku frowned.

"What's that-" Kairi started, before Sora interrupted.

"We might have a problem," he stated sheepishly.

"What? The others didn't want to come?" the auburn-haired girl asked, pouting slightly.

"Nono, they're here, it's just..." Sora looked away, scratching the back of his head.

"His brother, Vanitas, is here," Riku rolled his eyes at Sora's stalling.

"What?!" The sisters said together, before Kairi continued, glaring at her boyfriend, "You invited him?!"

"N-no! I swear, he was already here!" Sora waved his hands in front of him in surrender.

Kairi glared at him, trying to figure out if he was lying or not, before sighing, "So what now?"

"Lets just go in," Namine suggested, her voice a little higher than she intended, fear slipping into her tone as thoughts of earlier came back, "I mean... we can just avoid him, can't we?"

Kairi hugged her sister, grinning at the great idea, until Sora spoke.

"That... might be a bit hard..." he said. Before the two could question him, he moved aside for them to walk in.

Namine's breath picked up, her heart beating rapidly as her legs shook. On the other side of the restaurant, sitting one table away from their friends, was Sora and Roxas' older brother, Vanitas, and his friend, Jason. The two were laughing about something, before his eyes caught sight of her. Those golden amber eyes narrowed into a sneer as he smirked. She stumbled back, falling on her butt with a yelp. Her sister helped her up with a worried expression, asking if she was okay. Namine wasn't really sure what her sister was actually saying, her focus was still on the golden eyes of the man that assaulted her earlier. She could see his tongue, running along his lips flirtatiously. Namine knew now for certain.

She was afraid of this man. He was dangerous. And above all? She knew, she couldn't stop if he attacked her again...

(Van P.O.V.)

Jason and I got to Paupu Palace early, mostly because I just didn't feel like waiting for a damn table. Some people might be into that, but I'm not one of them. While we waited for things to pick up, we decided to order. however, Jason was flirting with the waitress, which was pissing me off, before I'm fuckking starving! "Hey!" I yelled at her, making her jump out of her skip.

She turned to me, her face pale and with a more than reasonable fearful expression on it, "Y-yes sir?"

"I'm fucking hungry! So do you damn job and get my fucking food!" I topped the sentence off with my signature glare, causing the girl to sprint to the kitchen. I laughed in my usual psychotic tone, before noticing the sour look on Jason's face, "What?"

"I was six words away from her phone number," Jason frowned.

"And?" Van scoffed, "I'm hungry- get it later." Jason sighed, rolling his eyes, "You and your stomach."

"Oh, like you can talk! You always order more than I do!" I countered.

"I do no-" Jason's stomach growled loudly, before he looked down at himself, glaring, "You stay outta this!"

We laughed, drawing the attention of the whole restaurant from how loud they were being. "WHAT?!" we glared in opposite directions, the patrons returning to whatever it was they were doing before they started staring. I tapped his foot impatiently, before looking up, my face falling as I noticed who had just walked in, "God damnit..."

"Van?" the brunette said in shock, before hurrying over to me, meanwhile I groaned in disgust, "What are you doing here?"

"Getting food," I glared, "The fucks it look like?"

"Oh, right," Sora grinned. That was something that pissed me off- how almost nothing I could do fazed him. I just wanted to rip that smile off his face and stomp it into the mud. "Mind if we sit with you?"

We?, I blinked, noticing that Sora was with his friends. I glared at them, before turning the glare to my brother, "No."

"Thanks!" Sora's grin grew, pulling out the chair next to me.

I slammed my foot down on the seat of the chair, halting it, "No. Fuck off." My brother looked up at me with sad blue eyes, but that just made me glare darker.

Sora finally gave up and sighed, before sitting at the table to the left of ours. The others looked to Sora, asking if he was alright, and why he'd want to sit with such a jerk when they were trying to have fun tonight. Which I don't mind. I know I'm a dick. The runt didn't really have an answer that wasn't cheesy, saying how he'd missed me the past few years. In all honesty, he just wanted to spend time with me- I got that. The only times he got to see me the past few years were when I was locked in jail, since the things I do took me out of the juvenile bracket. Now that I'm free and on parole, Sora thought he'd be able to hung out with me like we use to when they were kids, but we're not kids anymore and he needs to get that through his head. i noticed him leave with that silver haired pansy, Riku. Jason looked at me with a smirk. "What?"

"Ya wanna do it?" he asked.

I stared at him in disgust, "Dude, I'm not gay!"

"Not that, ya creep- besides, you're definitely not my type!" Jason laughed, before pointing to the stage, "It's friday remember?"

"So?" I said, a bit less irritated as the waitress came back, with food this time. I grabbed the massive burger I ordered, taking a huge bite. The juicy taste of the meat, the crisp crunch of lettuce, the tang of the cheese, and the texture of the sauces... it was a burger from heaven...

"So," Jason started, "Paupu does an open-mic thing on fridays." He grabbed his spoon and fork, digging into his pasta, rolling the noodles on the spoon with his fork, like he was some kinda douchey snob, "Could be an awesome way to score numbers."

Jay, if I want someone's number, all I have to do if glare at them and tell them to hand it over," I smirked. The two of us laughed at the reasoning, before I noticed a tint of blond by the door. Putting my food down as we laughed, I looked over, spotting a familiar blond. I look over, narrowing my eyes to get a better look at her. She was wearing a black frilly mini-skirt, a white tank top to hug whatever curves she thought she had. Her hair was pulled over her right shoulder, but that's not what got me. Those baby blue eyes I remember staring at this morning were there, staring back at me with more fear than before. I smirked, liking the sight I was seeing. I then licked my lip- not to be suggestive, but because there was a drop of burger juic on my lip and it was bothering me. Things only got better when she stumbled away, falling on her ass, making me laugh. It was then I knew...

She was afraid of me. She was a coward. And She knew, she couldn't stop me if she tried...

And that's where I'm gonna end things for now. That's right! What! What's gonna happen? Is Van gonna put the moves on Namine in front of every-

Van: SHUT THE FUCK UP! DON'T YOU KNOW ANYTHING ABOUT SPOILERS!
