Chapter 9

Broken Wings

Only A Memory...

It's been three days now. Namine hasn't slept nor even tried. She was wide-awake in the big white room. Fixing Roxas' memories. Using all she has. Everything she's got to make him back to the Roxas she knew. She's there sitting in the chair starring at the boy that was in a slumber. She looked at him with trust, thinking she could do this! Make him better! The love of her life...comes back to her. The thought of him being ok in there wasn't all convincing. Drawing out all his memories and putting them together. One by one. It took time, lots of it. But, to her it was all worth it. His eyes were shut tight sleeping, but awake at the same time. It scared her. No, terrified her that it was her Roxas that she's doing this to. Scared of what was to come. What would he say to her when he got out? Would he be the same? The Roxas she knew and loved? Namine was thinking to herself how it would turn out. But, she wished for the best...But it turned out the exact opposite.

She was on the last one. The last memory, and that was her. The memory of Namine. Herself. She looked at the blank paper then back at Roxas thinking maybe she shouldn't put her into his life...not again. But, then why is he here? She shook her head and started drawing herself. Thinking how her friends are. Praying just like she is. She finished and put it with the others. She got up from the seat stretching and walking towards the bubble slowly. Sitting there for three days was enough for Namine. As she was walking towards Roxas she looked straight at his face nothing else. The features so real.

She sighed and put her face up to the glass. Seeing Roxas move a little. But, his expression changed from sleepy to mad. She knew she had to hurry she had to no time to waste. She ran back still seeing Roxas moving around but more fiercely now. She had to hurry. She closed her eyes connecting to Roxas' memories, as she put them in. The force getting hard because Roxas' mind wasn't easy to control. He was splashing in the liquid now. Seemed to her like he was drowning and trying to get to the top. But, she tried. Now seeing it was really hard for her to do it now. She had three more memories. Just three and it was done. The last one was her. Roxas now was trying to break the bubble, yet his eyes were still shut tight. And he would, if she didn't hurry. She opened her eyes to a yell down her throat seeing her beloved so intense and scared.

She shut her eyes tightly seeing she was losing Roxas she was almost finished when she broke it. The connection lost...She flew back hard against the stone wall the force of Roxas was strong. She opened her eyes in pain. And ran over to Roxas having a breakdown. She pressed the button quickly watching as he slid out. He layed in front of Namine in some junky stuff covering his pale hurt body. The bad thing was...he was unconscious.

"This is bad! Really bad! He could lose all his memories! ALL OF THEM!" Namine shrieked and ran over to Roxas' body. She had a confused face as she saw him looking dead. She felt for a pulse...but found that it was really weak. He was alive but barely. Namine hit herself knowing she screwed it up. She should have got him out of there quicker. She cursed herself. As she picked him up and bringing him to the hospital bed she was captive on. Flashbacks filled her mind of that day, she shivered. She layed him down as she cleaned him up. She thought it was going to be ok...She thought her Roxas when he was going to wake up and remember her as his Namine...But, she didn't know she forgot one detail...One thing she didn't finish on time.

She was wiping him down with cloths and put him in a bathtub and washed him. But, to Namine that wasn't working. He layed on the bed now still awake, but his mind is probley either damaged or serious hurt from that episode in the white room. She breathed hard and fast as she didn't know what was going to happen. He was clean and smelled nice but still very pale and ever so still. She leaned over the bed and kissed him gently on the forehead, seeing no movement. She started to cry knowing he probley is going to be dead in a few hours. Never to see him awake again. Never to look at her face and say "Namine, I Love You." The words that she longed for, lusted for. But she felt so weak and helpless. She had to do something...but what?

Back at Destiny Islands

"Geez. Im so worried...I mean duh! They've been gone for three days!" Kairi said walking around the sunny hot beach of Destiny Island.

"Kai calm down! They are going come back, they will!" Sora said but then realized he might be wrong. He put his head in his knees splashing the water with his fingers. They were all kind of near each other but spread out trying to look for a Gummi Ship. But, they could still hear each other talk.

"You know what! I think were all going to be in trouble if she doesn't come back! But, she promised! She will...Don't worry." Selphie said out on the deck where they put their boats trying to see a Gummi Ship in the distance.

"Well, I think Roxas wont be the same when he gets back here. And we will have to start from scratch." Riku said groaning out loud. He was laying on the poupu tree. Kairi still walking back and forth along the beach and Sora sitting by the waterfall. They were all thinking of what would happen. Wishing Namine a safe trip home. Hoping they are okay, the both of them. But, that wouldn't be enough, would it?

In Space.

Namine looked behind her and saw him laying on the chair. She wasn't crying she wasn't tearing instead, she was growing stronger. He still hasn't woken up. But, she has a good feeling about Roxas. As she kept checking on him unconscious in the back she started to worry again. But, not too much. It's been three days without her family, her dog, her friends everyone she missed so much. She smiled at the thought of returning home. She smiled now seeing her home in the distance.

At Destiny Islands

They were all lounging around lazily when Selphie gave a shriek of excitement. She jumped up.

"I see something! I see it! It's a Gummi Ship! Kai, Riku, Sora. Hurry!" Selphie ran to where it was going to land. They all looked up to see something coming as well. They all got up and followed Selphie. Running to stop right on the sands of Destiny Islands. Tons of sand blew over the Island. They all had to shut their eyes tight or else the sand would get in their eyes. It was like a sandstorm. And their clothes were flying everywhere. When it was finally dieing down there was only smoke. Sora, Kairi, Riku and Selphie all looked in the same direction. The direction where only a few minutes ago they saw it flying over them. Kairi and Selphie were scared holding onto each other looking all over for something moving. While Sora and Riku were tightening their grip with their fists. They didn't know who it was yet. But, when they saw a white shoe come out of the Gummi Ship...That was all they wanted to see.

As Namine stepped out holding Roxas in her arms trying to hold his weight but it was tough. She stood there the sand and smoke now gone. Just there standing ten feet away from her, were her best friends. Namine started to tear up thinking it wasn't real. They weren't really there. Knowing she's only been gone for three days. But, all she's gone through she doesn't know what's real and what's not. She was still holding him now crying her friends starring at her. Kairi and Selphie crying at the presence of Namine looking so overwhelmed with everything. Them realizing maybe Roxas is dead. Sora and Riku gasped at the moment when they could fully see Roxas, Sora looked away.

"It can't be...He can't be dead.." Sora said to himself. Riku grabbed his shoulder to try and comfort him knowing what he said because he felt the same way. Kairi and Selphie saw Roxas to but, just cried more. The bond between six friends was extraordinary. Their bonds were never anyone else's. These six people have gone through so much. But, for this one they weren't all together for it. What they thought was hours were only minutes seeing they were all thinking different things of how to react. Namine collapsed on the ground from Roxas she couldn't hold him anymore. The gang gasped at how she fell. They knew she was weak and she looked pale, dirty and hurt. They knew how to help her. But, no one moved.

They were still stunned at the sight of Roxas looking dead. There best friend but to Kairi, Selphie and Riku it wasn't the same. But, to Sora it was way more. He found Roxas he took him in got him a family now he's dead...He was trying not to have a breakdown. So he just clenched his fists tighter, for the pain and turned away. Namine was playing with her hands in the sand. Remembering when she was the new kid...so long ago. She felt like she was Roxas now so closer to her friends then before. As for Roxas, he is the new kid. But maybe not if he wakes up.. Namine crawled over to him. Her friends still stunned at seeing them. They couldn't move also Sora wasn't looking at them he was turned away...Really mad and upset while Riku was comforting him.

Kairi and Selphie were standing there too. Waiting for a miracle. Namine got up. She almost lost her footing but grabbed onto the Gummi Ship. She was dizzy and whoosey. She took a big breath as she smiled at her friends crying. She walked over to them and gave them a big hug. Kairi and Selphie held onto their best friend tight. Namine needed that. Since it was her Roxas that got the memory loss.

"Oh Nami we missed you...so much." Kairi said smiling through her tears.

"I know. I'm back to stay I promise!" Namine said smiling.

"Namine you are soo brave!" Selphie said giggling.

Namine smelt the pineapple in their hair and was glad she was home. So glad...Her smiles disappeared when she looked back at Roxas. She walked towards him as she let go of her friends. Kairi and Selphie looked worried. As for Sora he couldn't look at him. Not when he's dead. Never. Riku was talking to him. But, Kairi and Selphie let them have their privacy. Namine sat beside Roxas. Just sitting there beside him was enough for her. She grabbed his hand and was doing gentle strokes. She looked at her friends again, The sun shining on all of them. In the bright afternoon day...

Namine was still looking at her friends when she felt something. She looked back to see something she thought would never see. Something out of her mind. She thought she was dreaming. Roxas groaned and opened his eyes. Kairi and Selphie went wide-eyed and ran over to him. Roxas couldn't see, the sun was hurting his eyes. He got pulled up by someone. Now seeing people. People who were familiar. He put his hand over his forehead seeing three girls and two guys in the distance. His head hurt. Everything ached. They were talking to him but it was all blurry.

"Roxas! ROXAS! You're...alive!" Kairi shrieked!

"Ahhh! This is a MIRACLE! We thought u were dead!" Selphie said laughing.

"Roxas? Can you hear us?" Namine said smiling.

The voices were sounding clearer, he spoke.

"Yeah...Uhh I can hear you." He said laying against the Gummi Ship.

Namine was tearing up. She thought she killed him. Forever. Never to see him again. And now he's right in front of her! Right there! Talking and...alive. She couldn't breath. She couldn't imagine this moment. But, now she's living it. She realized she was holding his hand still. Roxas looked at her funny as she let go. She got up and backed away, behind the Gummi Ship. How stupid could she be. Ughh she felt so bad. She put her head in her knees as she heard a scream and yells on the other side. But, she didn't want to go. Not right now she needed to think. She heard Sora say something to Roxas but couldn't hear. Until She heard louder screams. She got up to see Kairi, Selphie, Riku and Sora all hugging Roxas. A huge hug that she wasn't in. Then Roxas talked, talked like...the normal Roxas. She ran in the sand almost to where they were all standing. Sora looked at Namine then smiled. Namine knew something good has happened. Something she wanted to know. Then Kairi spoke.

"Nami...He remembers! All of us! Me, Selphie, Riku, Sora and-" Kairi chocked. She looked at Namine then back at Roxas letting go of the big hug and stepping away. The others did the same all of them looking at Roxas then back at Namine. They all looked in different directions like they wanted something to happen. Namine stood there, the sand burning beneath her feet. The sun beaming at her eyes. Her blonde hair swaying in the warm breeze of the blue sky. She smiled at the sight of Roxas turning around smiling at Kairi and the others, but once he turned to see Namine it seemed to her he stopped smiling...The smile dropped to a confusing look... Namine shut her eyes. She wanted to see his face. The face of the love of her life. She wanted to open her eyes to see him in her arms hugging her and saying the words she wanted to hear..."I Love You." Is what she wanted to hear more badly then anyone else.

She shut them tighter. She held out her hands so he could take them. Wanting him to grab them and take her into his arms, him call her by her name and gentley pet her hair as he comforted her. She held her hands out farther. Wanting him soo badly to take them. But, the only thing she felt was a hand grabbing it and shaking it...almost like a handshake. She opened to see Roxas smiling his blonde hair so shiny and his bright blue eyes to die for. She looked around to see the gang surrounding them as Roxas shook her hand, it felt he was doing that for hours but only seconds. Namine shut her eyes again with pure pain. The agony that she felt through her body. Tears were filling her eyes again. She wanted to let go of his hand, stop the handshake but his soft warm hand might be the only thing that keeps him close to her heart. She opened her eyes to see the gang frown and turn away. Namine slowly looked back at Roxas now smirking. The smirk she wanted to see. But, the words she thought she was going to hear...faded away. The words he said made her die inside, die all over again...

"Don't cry Princess..." He said smiling and stopped shaking her hand. That's all he said. She saw him walk away as she felt like time stopped. After that moment the warm breeze on her face, the laughter in the distance, the sound of the waves echoing in her ear began to slowly disappear...It all went pitch black. Namine was falling into existence...the memory of her going out of Roxas' mind...She wasn't real anymore. She was only a memory...
