I don't own Kingdom Hearts

'I need to calm down.' Naminé continued running down the sidewalk until she reached one of Destiny Islands many beaches. She had seen a boy with raven black hair sitting at the back of the café and immediately assumed the worst, but when the boy turned around he had regular brown eyes. After that she knew she wouldn't be able to hold it together and fled. The sound of the waves was calming but also reminded her of that night.

"Naminé!" She turned around to see Roxas coming up to her.

"What was that about? Did you get hungry?" She shook her head as Roxas grabbed her hand.

"No. I just thought that I saw something." The two walked along the beach hand in hand. "Who was that at the café with you?" Roxas wanted to ask her more on the subject but decided it would be best to wait until she was ready to talk about it.

"Those were my old friends that I told you about, Hayner, Pence, Olette, you remember? They were really excited to meet you." Naminé nodded her head guiltily.

"Sorry, maybe next time." The two sat down on the sand and watched a ship in the distance.

"Is that one of the ferries?" Roxas asked.

"No. That was one of the supply ships headed towards Furious Cove. It's a Destiny Islands territory."

"Why haven't we gone there?" Roxas asked. Before he enrolled in school, he and Naminé had toured the islands and its territories.

"It's not exactly the nicest place to be. Plus that's where I go to, you know." So that's where she had been hunting. During their travels she wouldn't always tell him where she would be hunting. Nor would she let him help or come along. For Roxas to help her hunt like Ven had, was the last thing she wanted. Roxas's stomach growled and he was reminded of the fact that he didn't eat. "Come on. I'll take you out for dinner since I made you lose time with your friends." Naminé stood up and wiped the sand from her skirt.

"If you keep that up you're going to make me feel emasculated." Roxas joked as he stood with her and the two headed for town.

"Emasculated? You sleep next to a girl every night and you feel emasculated?" Naminé joked back at him.

"Well it's not like we do much is it? We just lay there till I fall asleep. I wish we could do more though." Roxas held her by her waist and pulled her closer to his side as they walked.

"I wish we could too. But you know we can't." Naminé inhaled his scent. He still smelled of Sea Salt taffies, mixed with another scent that was simply Roxas.

"So why can't we?" Roxas asked when they were sitting in a dimly lit restaurant.

"Because I don't know if I'll hurt you. Despite being this way for so long, there's still not much I know about what I am." Naminé looked at her palm and flexed her hand. "I know that when I feel aroused I want to eat. But I don't know why, or how to control it." Roxas looked at her hand as well and placed his own over it.

"Have you ever met anyone else like you?" She bit her lip.

"I knew a few. But there was only one that I traveled with for a long time. The others I only knew for a few weeks. And the one I traveled with didn't like me asking too many questions about what we were."

"Why did you travel with them then?" Her grip tightened slightly before relaxing again.

"At the time I was new to being this and all alone. H- My companion was the only person who could teach me anything." Roxas thought to question why she hesitated in answering but decided not to press her. This was the first time she had talked about her past since they moved here and he didn't want to ruin a chance to learn more about her.

"Is there any way to find more information? Internet, libraries?" Naminé shrugged. There was one place Naminé knew that would have all the answers. But she was reluctant to take Roxas there for obvious reasons.

"Enough of that. Finish your dinner and then we can go."


Zack licked his lips. There should have been something horribly repulsing about drinking human blood, but he just couldn't seem to stop doing it. He would blame it on Vanitas, but even when he wasn't around Zack still went out and hunted on his own. There was just something about it that was so satisfying. The thrill of the hunt as many people called it. And then the taste of the warm liquid running down his throat. The most thrilling hunt was yet to come. But he wondered for a moment if he should thank that girl when he saw her again for what she gave him. Thank her right before he ripped her head off.


"So what happened to you guys last night?" Olette asked Roxas as they walked down one of the university's hallways.

"Oh, Naminé wasn't feeling well so we went home instead. Sorry about that by the way. I know how much you guys wanted to meet her." Roxas apologized as the two walked into their first class; "Introduction to World Mythology"*. What kind of university had their students take these types of courses? Roxas looked over the class outline impassively until his eye caught something. Lesson 6: The Vampire. No way. It couldn't be that easy could it?

"Roxas!" Olette yelled in his ear.

"Ow! Why!?" Roxas covered his ear.

"I called your name three times already, you were totally spaced out!"

"Uh, sorry. What were you saying?" he rubbed his poor ear.

"I said Hayner, Pence, and I are going to a club Friday night. Do you want to come and introduce us to your girlfriend then?" Roxas thought about it for a moment. Naminé in a night club?

"Sounds like fun. I'll have to ask her if she wants to come."


Naminé lay in her trunk in the closet. She had to go to sleep sometime. Blood was leaking from her ears, eyes, and nose, but she refused to rest. There was no way she would let Vanitas reach her again. She clutched her head in pain. She had no choice. She had to rest, and hope Vanitas would let her be for the day.

*This class actually does exist! I looked it up.

HAPPY HALLOWEEN! Sorry for taking so long to update.

So I am back! Sort of. I am not exactly proud of this chapter. I am sorely out of writing practice. I just know there is a bunch of grammar mistakes and that the chapter probably doesn't flow well at all. Plus I rushed to get this out by Halloween.

October Lynx and Roxasduelwielder: Thanks for reviewing and being so patient

Getsuga TENSHOU 15: If you like both of these fics, you should look up the movies "Let Me In" or "Let The Right One In" The first fic was based on them

Jal5598: As for the lemon (I saw someone else ask about this as well) I may put one in way later but I will put a warning before and after the scene so you can skip it if you don't want to read it.
