The day broke with Roxas standing on the dock, watching the sun rise slowly. Namine walked out of the little shack where she and Kairi stayed. She saw Roxas standing on the dock, and walked over towards him. Roxas didn't notice her, even when she stepped up behind him.

She watched him as he placed his hands into his pockets, watching the sun rise up. To her, he looked perfect, so handsome, and too perfect for her. She walked up behind him and placed her arms around his waist, startling him slightly. He looked down at the hands then smiled placing his hand on hers.

"Hey Namine," Roxas said softly, rubbing her arm softly.

"Morning," She yawned.

"Tired?" he asked.

"Not really, more happy then anything actually."

"Oh? How so?" He smiled, trying to look at her.

"I'm here with you." She whispered softly, kissing his shoulder and resting her head against him.

"Guess we think the same then, huh?"

"Mmhm." She said as she moved up beside him, leaning against him. He put his arm around her, holding her close. They stood quietly, watching the sun rise up, just looking at the ocean and sometimes looking at each other.

"Namine?" Roxas asked, shattering the silence.

"Yeah?"

"I really like you."

"Me too Roxas, me too." She sighed lovingly kisses his arm lightly. Roxas looked at her, and once again, they came close like it was about to be a kiss, but a whistle interrupted them, again.

"Hey love birds; let's go to the Tree House!" Sora yelled out, making Roxas sigh.

"Maybe it's good we haven't kissed yet, maybe we should wait for the right moment."

"That's a good point actually," He said, then leaned over and kissed her cheek. "But that's should be alright for a while, right?"

"Yeah, it is." She smiled and kissed his cheek back, taking his hand in hers. He smiled back and walked with her towards the shack when a noise behind them stopped them both.

"ROXAS!" Riku shouted from his boat which slowly made its way to the island. Sora came out and clenched his fists, staring at the boat coming closer to the island. He hopped down from the shack and headed towards the dock, Kairi following suit.

"Get out of here Riku, you know what happened the last time you were here!" Sora yelled.

"Shut it Sora, I don't give a damn what you think or say!" he yelled, bringing the boat to the dock. Kairi pulled Namine back, hiding her behind Sora and Roxas.

"Get out of here Riku, no one here wants to even think that you exist!"

"Shut it Roxy or I'll kick your ass even harder! Now, get out of my way, and let Namine come with me."

"Hey, shit head, get a grip. You CAN'T get any girl you want, and you will never get Namine!" Sora growled. "Why I even considered you a friend is beyond me."

"Once again, shut it Sora, I don't care what you think. Kairi's not good enough for me anyway, so you shouldn't care. Besides," he said as he took out a small knife from his back pocket, "Namine is coming with me, no matter what you say."

They all froze, looking at the knife then at Riku. "You wouldn't!" Kairi shrieked. Namine just watched in horror. Roxas stood his ground, and didn't keep his eyes off of Riku.

"No Riku, you're not taking Namine. And hurting me won't help you try and rape her in anyway!"

"Hurt you? No Roxy, I want you out of the picture entirely." His words slid off his tongue venomously. He smirked with an evil grin as everyone backed up, their feet touching the beach.

"Enough of this kiddy shit, come on Nami, you know you want to come with me," There was no response. Namine stood shaking, and Roxas put his hand on her shoulder, and she relaxed. Riku glared then growled. "Fine, you want it that way? Good bye Roxy!" he said as he dashed at them.

Unknown to anyone, Kairi had picked up a handful of sand and stepped forward, tossing it into Riku's eyes. "YOU BITCH!" He shrieked as he slashed around aimlessly, trying to hit whoever he could. Roxas took this as an opportunity and ran forward, going to tackle him.

"ROXAS NO!" Namine screamed and tried to get him, but Sora and Kairi held her back. Roxas leaned down and tackled into Riku with his shoulder slamming him into the ground, but he felt a sharp pain as the knife slashed into his back. He stepped on Riku's arm and took the knife, tossing it back onto the dock, and then he picked him up and slammed him back into the ground.

"LEAVE NAMINE ALONE RIKU!" He yelled. Riku tried to punch him, but Roxas grabbed his arm and slammed his arm into it with a sickening snap. Riku screamed in pain and grabbed his arm, but Roxas wasn't finished with him. He picked up Riku again, and stood him up, backing up a little. He ran up, jumped and kicked him in the chest as hard as he could, throwing Riku off the dock and slamming himself into the dock with a painful grunt.

"ROXAS!" Namine screamed even louder then before. She dashed over and kneeled down, helping him up. She felt something warm on her hand and almost had a heart attack. "Help! Roxas is hurt! He's bleeding!"
