When Roxas heard someone's foot steps he ran the other way as to not get caught. He wandered through the halls, searching for a certain flaxen-haired girl. He checked in room after room but couldn't find any trace of her. As a last resort he creeped into the shower room and heard water running in the biggest stall. It was all the way in back and probably the size of three normal stalls in one.
"Namine?" he called out uneasily, hoping he wasn't calling to a nun who would report him to his unholy uncle. The thought of the wicked man brought anger up in him and he would've marched right down to Xemnas' office to tell him off if he wasn't searching for Namine.
There was still no answer, but Roxas just felt that she was in there.
"Namine, it's me, Roxas. I just wanted to see if you were okay." He called out again. Still no answer. The blonde looked down at his feet, ready to leave when he saw red liquid streaming out from inside of the stall. He panicked and kicked the door open only to find Namine, lying on the ground, with blood pooled near her head. He ran over to her and almost slipped from the water. Closer inspection revealed a wound on her forehead. She was passed out and a frown replaced the smile he loved. Roxas looked around the stall and found that one of the walls had blood splattered on it and his mind made a grim connection. She must've been trying to kill herself or something. The gash on her head doesn't look accidental he thought.
He picked the naked, bleeding girl up and ran out of the shower room, searching for someone who could help him. Finally he spotted Larxene not too far away.
"Larxene!" he yelled to her and she stopped walking when she noticed the injured girl in his arms.
"What happened?" she asked while fear and concern washed over her usually scowling features.
"I…I can't tell you what led to this, but I can tell you that she tried to kill herself in the shower by slamming her head against the wall."
He's at it again. Damn it all! She thought. "Fine, don't tell me. Just follow me to my room. I have a first aid kit."
She led him around to her dorm-like room, always checking that other nuns didn't see them. Namine made a slight moan that instantly alerted Roxas.
"Shh, shh. It's okay. We're going to get help right now." He soothed her. Soon they arrived at Larxene's dwelling.
"Hurry up! Get in!" she whisper-yelled. Wasting no time, he rushed into the small house and the nun closed the door behind him. He studied the room and found a couch that he could out Namine on. He laid her on the makeshift bed and started pacing, something he did when he was nervous and confused. Larxene walked back into the room carrying some medical supplies and she walked to where Namine was laying.
"Can you move her hair away from the wound when I do this?" she asked. Without speaking Roxas did as he was told and Larxene grabbed a bottle of a bacteria killing medicine. She poured it on the large injury and Namine's eyes opened. A scream escaped her lips and she started crying.
"That just means the medicine is killing the germs." Larxene said as she was putting the bottle away, "Can you hold her down so that she doesn't hit me when I'm working?" she ordered.
Roxas grabbed Namine's wrists and tried to comfort her. "It's okay, shh; it won't hurt for much longer."
She was still crying and moving, so Roxas did the only thing he thought would calm her down. He kissed her gently and felt her slowly give in. The blonde girl finally stopped thrashing around, but she kept on crying. Larxene took a wet towel and cleaned up some of the blood from her head. When she finished that she took a big band-aid and covered the injury on Namine's head. Larxene got up again and walked out of the room. She returned with a glass of waster and some painkillers.
"Take this, you'll feel better because, well, you won't feel much for a while." Larxene handed the pills and the water to Namine, who swallowed pills followed by a quick swig of the water. Namine put her head back down on the pillow and closed her eyes.
With the problem now over, Roxas looked at Namine and realized she had no clothes on. An embarrassed blush covered his face and he looked down at his feet.
"I'm gonna take her back to my room now so that I can keep an eye on her." He told Larxene, who only nodded as she cleaned up her materials.
Roxas lifted Namine up from the couch and held her in a way that her the way someone would hug another person; with the front of her body on his. He wanted to make sure nobody would see Namine naked if they got caught. He didn't want this violated girl looked at sickly any more.
Roxas was very sneaky as he entered the church again, constantly looking around corners and behind him for any sign of life. He was almost caught once, but he hid in a closet before he was captured. Finally, Roxas and Namine reached Roxas' room and walked in, closing the door behind them. He turned the light on in the room and placed her down on the bed. Because she was still only half conscious he covered her with his black quilt.
"Where are you going?" she slurred as he was opening the door.
"I'm just going to get your clothes. Stay here and don't make any noise. If someone other than Larxene or I come in, hide." He warned her.
She nodded her head and then laid it back down on the pillow before closing her eyes. Roxas quietly closed the door behind him and looked around. When he didn't see anyone he ran in the direction of Namine's room. He touched the handle of her door when-
"Roxas? What are you doing?" Xemnas asked with a nervous look in his eyes. Roxas took a few deep breaths to calm his anger and turned around, a fake smile plastered on his face.
"Nothing Uncle Xemy! I was just looking for Namine because I, uh, wanted to ask her if she saw my cross necklace? I lost it somewhere around here but I can't find it." He explained.
"Oh, well, she shouldn't be bothered. Now scurry along." He told Roxas, but when he saw Larxene he called her over. "Larxene, guard this door please. Namine has sinned and needs to be alone." He ordered.
"Yes Father." she said, and Roxas saw anger burning in her eyes, though he didn't know what it was for. Xemnas walked down the hall and turned a corner. The same corner that would bring him to Roxas' room.
"You were trying to get her clothes weren't you? I'll get them, just hurry towards your room before he makes it there before you." Larxene started, and when Roxas didn't move, "GO! NOW!" she ordered. Roxas ran around a different corner, one that would get him to his room faster then the priest. He sprinted as fast as he could with protecting Namine the only thing on his mind. As soon as he reached his door Xemnas walked up to it.
"Roxas, please move. I sense that your room is untidy and I must check. Remember, cleanliness is next to Godliness." Xemnas said.
"Uh, no! My room is totally clean, I cleaned it this morning!" Roxas said, hoping his uncle would leave it at that.
"I still have to see. So open the door."
Begrudgingly Roxas opened the door…only to find his bed empty. He looked around his room frantically and found his uncle doing the same. Xemnas looked annoyed but stopped searching the room.
"Clean your room, Roxas." He said as he was leaving.
Roxas closed his door when Xemnas left and called Namine. "Nami? Are you in here?"
He heard a small noise coming from under his bad and out rolled Namine, shivering from the contact her naked body had with the cold stone floor. Slowly she lifted her self off the floor and collapsed onto the bed. She didn't have enough energy to pull the covers over her, so she just shivered. Roxas walked over to the bed and covered her with the blanket. She sighed and closed her eyes and Roxas kissed her forehead.
Knock! Knock! Roxas angrily looked at the door towards the sound that interrupted the nice moment.
"It's me, Larxene. Open the damn door!" the blonde called from the hallway.
"Come in! Just be quiet!"
Larxene entered the room with what looked like an even deeper scowl. She had all of Namine's clothes on one arm and her eyes were narrowed. When she laid Namine's clothes on a dresser Roxas saw that Namine didn't own much. She only had 5 dresses (they were white and all the same), some bras and panties, and 3 white nightgowns.
"Not a big selection, is it?" he commented.
"No. Now I gotta go. Whatever you do, make sure Xemnas doesn't know Namine is in here." She warned, and then left the room, closing the door behind her.
Roxas gently took the quilt off of Namine and lifted the sleeping girl into a sitting position. He grabbed one of the nightgowns and put it on her slowly, trying hard not to wake her up. When it was finally on he laid her back down and covered her again. The blonde looked out his window and saw that the moon was already out, so he stripped down to his long black boxers and slid into the bed with Namine.
Namine felt his presence and unconsciously pressed herself into him. He wrapped his arms around her sleeping form and drifted off to sleep himself.
Xemnas paced in his room, back and forth, back and forth, wondering where Namine could've gone. He suspected that Roxas knew something, but he couldn't just ask him. Xemnas knew that there was only one thing to do. He lifted up a book on his desk and located a key. He used the key and opened one of the locked drawers in his desk. He reached in and pulled out a jet black pistol. Next time he saw Namine would be the last time anyone saw her.
So how did you like it? I didn't like the last chapter, so I hope this makes up for it for the people who agree with me. This chapter didn't come out the way it was planned in my mind, but that doesn't mean it's bad. I actually really like the way it came out, opposed to how it was orriginaly supposed to be.
Review please and tell me what you think?
Namine: "Please review!"
