I live!! I've decided to rise from the ashes and start anew, my dear reviewers. It's about damn time I start cracking down on these stoires of mine.
Enough talk, let's start this. I still have a term paper to write after. :D

"Don't move."
Namine lazily nodded back as the prominent scent of flowers and other herbs lulled her into a state of euphoria as she was laid gently down on a soft, plushy mattress.
Unconsciously, she drew in another deep breath, sighing lightly. Even if the smell was a bit strong on her senses, it soothed her stiff muscles.
Just as Namine was beginning to doze off, a small agruement, not to far from her, snatched the chance of a blissful nap.
'Can't anyone just leave me alone? I mean if I'm not being chased or raped then of course, someone decides to jack up the volume of their voice. God...I hate this place.' Namine groaned mentally, sliding her eyes open to view the conservation that so rudely cost her a nap.
"What do you mean you don't want to heal her?"
"Now, Now, Roxas. You know my policy. I do not heal humans."
"Your policies can shove it, Marluxia. I refuse to bring her in front of the Order looking like a bloody mess."
'Marluxia?' Proppong herself up on one elbow, Namine leaned forward, trying to get a glance at this so-called healer of Organization XIII. Unfornately for her, she moved over to far, causing gravity to come into affect and having her tunble to the blinding, marble floor.
Before the female slayer had a chance to right herself, she was hauled up almost brutally and tossed back onto the bed.
"I thought I made it clear before not to move. Do you like being in pain or something?"
Shielding her sensitive eyes from the bright light of the room, Namine shot a glare at Roxas.
"No, but that doesn't mean you have to practically rip my arm out of my socket and throw me around!"
Roxas clenched his fist at his side as his shadowed, blue eyes returned to glare tenfold. Namine shivered and glanced elsewhere. His eyes evoked something in her, and she desperately hoped it to be fear.
A light laugh dispersed the tension flowing between the cative and the captor.
"I say," A man (at least Namine thought it was a man) with pinkish brown hair walked past Roxas and bent down, expecting the young woman's face. "This one's got some spirit in her."
Taking her chin between his fingers, the rose-scented man produced to shift her face side to side, checking for bruises and cuts. A low growl from behind the feminine male caused another chuckle to erupt, but Namine wasn't paying attention what was happening around her. She had her eyes trained on the man's chest or to be more exact; his insignia.
'Number XI, huh?'
"Not to mention, she's pretty cute too." Just then did the blond-haired girl decide to return back to reality and blushed. Another growl was heard when the man released his grip on her chin.
"I'm Marluxia, Number XI of the Order and you must be the girl, who caused quite the ruckus in the lower levels."
Namine's cheeks tinted a pretty pink as she rubbed the back of her skull sheepishly. Roxas nearly groaned in frustration at her innonence and seriously needed to leave the roon before nothing got out of hand.
"Yep, that's me. I'm Namine by the-Well, can you heal her or not?" The girl narrowed her blue orbs at Roxas' interruption. What had crawled up his ass?
Marluxia grabbed hold of Roxas' hood and began to lead him towards the door. The younger vampire struggled and cursed to be released.
With a flick of his wrist, Roxas was out the door and on his ass.
"I will just because you would have bothered me until I gave in anyway. But remember this," Marluxia turned his back on his suborinate. "You owe me in the future."
The door was shut with a slam as Marluxia strode over to his cabinet where the medical herbs where stored. Namine watched him warily, ready to fight if need be.
"Relax. I have no desire to harm you."
The flaxen-haired slayer tensed as the vampire apporoached, carrying a roll of bandages and a bowl filled with warm water.
"How could you expect me to trust you; an Organization member?"
Setting the bowl down, he took the rag and proceeded to clean the wounds on her ankles.
Namine watched him as he worked diligently, wiping all the blood away and seeming to take extra care when he would handle her legs.
"I don't to be honest with you."
Marluxia stopped applying the ointment when he saw his patient flinched in pain.
"But," He continued as Namine gradually began to relax; the cooling medication taking effect immediately. "I would like you to try and trust me."
Blue eyes widen in disbelief. A vampire asking a human to trust them? Something was definitely suspicious here.
"I sense a great power in you as I do with those other two companions of yours. A power so strong that it can put an end to this Organization if applied apporiately."
He tapped her ankled gently to indicate that his job was complete.
"What exactly are you trying to say?"
"It's quite simple really. I want you and your friends to help me and a few other members. We construsted a plan...A plan to rid this world of the Order."
Namine's eyes widen even further if possible. A vampire going against its own race? But why?
"I'm afraid I don't understand."
Marluxia snatched both of Namine's hands and peered deeply into her eyes. She tried to glance away, but the look in his eyes was so hypnotizing.
"I-We want to become human again. The members that have joined me against the Organization were coerced into being vampires because of our talents. Ripped from our homes and families, we desperately seek humanity again. But with these members alone, we cannot succeed. But with this power, I sense within you and your friends...you three are the key to victory."
The girl was stunned into a silence, thinking over the possiblities. Join this little rebellion group and destroy the Organization for good or rot here for eternity. The latter sounded pretty appealing right about now.
"A-Alright. We'll do it!"
Marluxia's eyes watered slightly.
"Really?"
"Of course. I mean we are working for the common good, so why not kill two birds with one stone."
The pinkish brown haired man gave Namine a small, quick hug.
"Thank you. You don't know how much this means to us. But I need you and your friends to keep this a secret, wouldn't want all our hardwork ruined, would we?"
Namine nodded and smiled.
"Good," Marluxia stretched out his hand for her. "Now, let's go before your boyfriend shows up."
"Eww! Please, he's definitely not my boyfriend."
Marluxia gave a light laugh before he gestured Namine out the door first. As he was shutting the door to his room, he smirked wickedly.
'All accroding to plan.'

"Namine-chan!"
The blond-haired girl felt her feet lift from the ground as she was tackled by her energetic friend, Selphie. The pile of limbs soon got larger when Kairi added herself to the pile.
"Are you okay?"
"Did the hurt you, sister?"
Namine and the girls pinked themselves off the floor and when the elderest girl was about to answer. A booming voice interrupted their reunion.
"Enough."
Glancing upwards, the trio gasped silently as they noticed that the whole room was filled with vampires, but not just any bloodsuckers. Organization XIII.
The man that had spoken sat upon the highest chair. He had silver hair and amber-colored that shook Namine to the core. His gaze was cold and emotionless as well as his aura.
"I am Xemnas; leader of Organization XIII. You three humans have been captured and brought to the attention of this council. You are there, so you're fate can be deliberated."
"Let's electrocute them! Pretty please!?"
All eyes went to the sadistic looking blond. She had crazy, electric blue eyes and a wide, evil smirk on her face. Upon colser inspection, her hair was gelled up into two antennaes.
"Larxene, please keep your ridiculous outbursts to yourself. We're trying to look professional here."
The blond snarled viciously at the hooded figure who questioned her, yet remained quiet and settled herself back into her seat, grumbling curses.
"Hey, who exactly do you think you are!?"
The room went into a stunned silence as the blond human girl stepped forward; eyes buring with fire. Selphie and Kairi tried to calm down Namine by grabbing her elbows, but she shook them off.
"Just because you bastards think you're superior doesn't mean you have the right to end humanity!"
Roxas clenched the arms of his seat in rage.
'What exactly is she trying to do? End all their lives!?'
"How dare you speak to the Superior in such a disrespectful way. You insolent humans have no idea what true respect is." A montone voice to the right of the trio said apathetically. The hood to the black cloak fell to the blue-haired man's shoulders. His amber eyes matched that of the Superior's and had a X-marked scar between his eyes.
"You should perish for your slip of tongue."
Before Namine had a chance to back away, the blue-haired man came down on her gripping her arm tightly, slowly, without words, trying to brake it.
"Please stop your hurting her!"
Kairi rushed forward to stop the brute, but was thrown back with a swipe of an arm. Selphie, too, was tossed aside when she tried. Some of the more expressive members laughed at the humans pitiful attempt to stop Saix; Number VII.
Roxas growled as he was about to jump from his seat to stop Saix, but was beaten to it. Marluxia stood between the wolfish looking man and a teary Namine. Slowly, she backed away to her friends, rubbing her sore arm.
"Superior, I don't think this is necessary."
"But Xemnas, this filthy human berated you. They should die."
Xemnas held up a hand for quiet.
"Marluxia...Give me a reason why they should live."
Saix fumed while Marluxia gave a charming smile at Namine and her friends, which made Roxas' blood boil. He wasn't ever going to leave Namine alone with Marluxia again.
"Well, they're new recruits to the Forest Owls, right?" A murmurs of agreement answered him back. "Why not use the girls as bait to lure the Owls into the castle? Once inside the castle, we can corner them, kill them off, and complete the plan without any worry of them interfering."
Xemnas rubbed his chin thoughtfully while gazing towards his hooded Six before giving his answer.
"Your idea is actually very plausible. We don't have to leave our base and they'll be infringing on our territory, so we'll have the advantage." A male with short navy hair stated factually as he brushed some hair over his right eye.
Xemnas clapped his hands as he stood.
"Then it's settled. You three shall live until the eradication of the Forest Owls, but while you still live here in this castle, you will always have a escort with you. Number XIII, you will watch over the Blond-haired female, Sora, you'll watch over the auburn-haired female, and Numbers IX and VIII, you both will watch over the brunette. This meeting's dismissed."
Four figures jumped down from their seats and went to collect their "assignments."
"Oh great! How the hell did I get stuck on babysitting duty with Demyx?" The spiky redhead slapped a hand to his forhead as he viewed Demyx and Selphie converse loudly.
A brunette with crazy spiked up hair approached the auburn-haired girl with a little bounce in his step.
"Hi. You must be Kairi. I'm Sora." He held his hand out to the shakened girl, who glanced at it wearily. Sora merely smiled at her edginess.
"Don't worry, I'm not here to hurt you. I want to be your friend."
Kairi slowly relaxed. This guy actually seemed really kind, so she gave him the benefit of the doubt.
She grasped his tanned hand lightly and smiled warmly.
"Hello, Sora."
Roxas smirked devilishly as he came upon his prey, who shivered as he neared her. Oh yes, their time together was going to be quite interesting.

Eww, I'm aware Marluxia's so OOC. It's crucial to the plot, so don't worry. Eh, how's that for an update? This may appear boring, but now I can get on with the good stuff. I think I will rate it M for a lime or lemon. I haven't decided yet, so expect it to be rated M.
Stay tuned!
