Hello everyone! I'm back and with a new title, ARi NAi! Like the name change? I have no idea how it came to me but I guess I'm just weird like that. You may call me AR' if you wish too. Anyway, I apologize for the lateness of this update. I have so much to do lately and it's hard to update often. Like I said last time, I'm going to try my best at it so wish me well!

And just a small note, I also added some info to my profile if anyone wants to check it out. I'm still working out the errors and such in it but it's coming along slowly. I'm just wondering how to work with the HTML and such, it makes my head hurt thinking about it. Anyhow…

Namine: So, who's giving the disclaimer today?

ARi NAi: Oh! Well, how about Roxas? He hasn't said anything sarcastic for once. Roxas?

Roxas: Okay then...ARi NAi doesn't own anything of Kingdom Hearts or Square Enix.

Hotaru89 – Thanks, I'm glad you like it so far! 3

Malcolm Yuy – Oh wow, I can't believe you actually reviewed my story. I love your stories so much especially Pimples! Anyway, I'll stop acting like a fangirl (Sorry). All I can say is that only time will tell what will happen. Hope to hear from you soon!

Sakura's Conscience – Thank you, I'm glad you're enjoying the story!

Enjoy Chapter 5!

If you were looking at me right now, you would have thought I had seen someone grow two heads and an extra ear. While my long time friends were standing in front of me, my eyes were glued on "Roxas". He was well, hot (As Riku would put it with people sometimes) and gorgeous (Being of the opposite gender and looking at something this beautiful, this should have been expected) like his brother (I thought Sora was cute too, I will admit that). Not only that but he looked exactly like the boy in the dreams I have!

I remember in one dream that I saw a clear picture of him. His blonde hair was almost normal looking but it was spiked up on one side. He wasn't wearing the same outfit that Roxas is wearing now but it was close. The boy would always wear a white and black shirt along with white shorts. He wore these white socks with checkered sneakers and I remember there was something else…OH! Yes, it was a checkered band with white and black rings on his fingers. The dream was so vibrant and full of color while we were playing in a field of…

"Namine… are you in there?" Riku said, staring at me like I was the two-headed freak with the extra ear. I was spacing out for a little too long I guess…

"OH, umm…sorry." I said, blushing even more.

"It's okay. So Namine, you DO remember Roxas right?" Sora said, hoping I did, which I did, sort of.

"Well now that I remember Sora, I suppose…I have…I mean I remember Roxas too." I said, looking down at the ground. I wish I didn't act so shy around people I like.

"Well, say hello, Roxas." Sora said, pushing him toward me. It didn't end well for Roxas or me either.

-Roxas P.O.V-

You know sometimes I wonder how I end up in these situations. Sora just pushed me into Namine like I'm some kind of rag doll. And of course, we happened to fall down on top of each other like we secretly wanted to have…well you know. I'm not saying she wasn't beautiful or wasn't as stunning as a thousand suns, (I need to stop watching cartoons…yes I watch cartoons, have a problem? Nope? Good.) but still, it was something out of a manga. How cliché right?

So Namine and I are staring at each other like we've gone completely insane and the only way of escape is somewhere in each other's eyes. Did I mention her eyes are one of her best features? I remember them from the old days vividly. She always had a glint of ocean in her eyes that would make you get lost in them (Why does that sound cliché too?).

In those days, she was cautious with almost everything we did, the one in our little group who always had the voice of reasoning but was ignored by Riku when said. She would get mad sometimes with Riku whenever we got into trouble but it was still fun times. I was always the one who said something sarcastic in every situation to either lighten the mood or just to say something (Ironic? It probably isn't). Anyhow, back to the situation at hand…

"Uh, sorry…" I said, a little quietly, offering my hand to her. I didn't want to make the situation worse as it already was.

"Oh no, don't worry about it." She said, lifting herself up and staring at me. I didn't realize it at the time but I was gazing back too.

"So uh…Hi." I said, as we dropped our hands from each other. Did I mention that we were both blushing? I can bet you someone is thinking this is too cliché for its own good.

"You guys are acting like a couple, my god! Why won't you just kiss each other or something?" Riku said, smirking and laughing. I spoke too soon, damn…

"RIKU!" Namine said, blushing with too much force. Riku really does know how to keep a mood going.

"Riku, something could have happened! Why did you say something?" Sora said, saddened at the fact of the "ruined moment".

"Sora, how could you…" I said, smacking my flustered face.

-15 Minutes Later-

After 15 minutes of laughing, blushing, and bruising (mostly done on my part), we started talking about everything and anything we could think of while we headed back to the house and stopped into the living room. It was starting back where it ended in the old days, talking and such.

"So is the school fun here?" Sora asked, eyes full of hope. Our school was a living hell if I say so myself.

"It's okay I guess. School is never fun but it's interesting." Riku replied, with a sigh and a roll of the eyes. I have a bad feeling about that but never mind it for now.

While Riku and Sora went on about Collins Hill, I noticed Namine was drawing something in her sketchpad (She always did have better drawing then the rest of us). As my curiosity slowly ate at me, I inched toward her to see the drawing.

"What's that, Namine?" I asked, curiously.

"Oh uh well, it's just nothing really. Just a drawing that came into mind." Namine said, continuing to draw the image. The drawing was different; it was really good and perplexing to say the least.

It was the image of a heart that was slowly breaking. It looked like it was trying to stay together but it was slowly shattering itself. I don't know why I couldn't stop thinking about the image. It just reminded me of what happened, I guess

"So Roxas, ready to start school tomorrow?" Riku asked, expecting my usually response of…

"I can't wait to go to another place of posers and color blind idiots." I said, twisting my head to the side with a fake smile. Everyone started laughing at the response, even Namine who looked up for a second.

"Speaking of posers, anyone we should be careful of if I may ask?" I asked, hoping there weren't. I'm asking too much, I know but it never hurts.

"Well there are too many to name really. There's Selphie who has "lyke the biggest crush on me!!!111" and her crew. They bother Namine a lot because of the incident last year." Riku said, sighing and digging in his ear.

"What happened last year?" Sora asked, directing it toward Namine.

"Oh well, I hit her in the head with my sketchbook. It was a complete accident and I even apologized but she stood her ground and got really angry. Ever since it happened, they find a way to make my life a little horrible everyday. " Namine said, sad and frustrated.

"Well while I'm around, she won't get very far anymore. I bet Riku already has done a number on her though." I said, smirking.

"Sure have. I just threw a milk carton at her today but of course, she decides to act bipolar and forgive me when she knew I did it." He said, rolling his eyes again.

"When I get through with her, she won't be able to forgave me." I said, laughing like a manic. Everyone started laughing at my antic, even though they probably knew I wasn't joking.

For some reason, this year could be different but I still have a bad feeling about everything…I hope I'm wrong.

How was Chapter 5? Liked hearing Roxas and his sarcastic weirdness?

Roxas: Sarcastic weirdness? You're the one who wrote it!

ARi NAi: Well you said it, so there!

Roxas: Touché.

Namine: I thought it was good, Roxas.

Roxas: -Blushes- Thanks, Namine.

Fear the fluff! Anyway, things are stirring for Namine and the gang. As a note, Roxas's "A thousand suns" quote was from a popular cartoon show that I watch. Anyone want to guess? I'll give you a cookie!

Curious to know what Roxas was talking about when he said, "What happened?" Wondering how school will go for them and wondering when the love will start flowing into the story more? Find out in Chapter 6!

Read & Review! Thank you!
