"Let me give you a taste." He closed his eyes and outstretched his arms horizontally. He chanted something, Naminé fell to the ground in pain, clutching her stomach. It felt like someone was kicking her repeatedly in the ribs. He stopped, "Had enough?" Naminé lay on her side, her legs going out in odd angels. She raised her head and spat out blood.

"Bastard." She said with all of her strength. Her head fell back to the tile with a thud. In her last moments of consciousness she saw Marluxia walking towards her.

Chapter three:

Marluxia wondered if he overdid it. Was she okay? He didn't mean to hurt her.

"Why won't you wake?" he asked pacing back and forth. Marluxia had brought Naminé to his room and laid her on his bed. "I'm sorry, I truly am. I didn't mean to cause you pain. It's just that you make me feel like I have a heart. I didn't want that feeling to go away." He confessed to Naminé's unconscious body. He didn't notice that Naminé was awake. "I don't know what I'll do if you fade… I don't know if this feeling is real. I could be imagining it….but I feel…love. It doesn't make sense nobodies aren't supposed to have hearts…I just. Don't understand what's going on. I truly am sorry."

"Do you mean all that?" Naminé asked. Marluxia was startled by her voice.

"How are you feeling?"

"Did you mean what you just said?"

"Ya, I did. Every word." His back was facing her, as if ashamed to show his face. "Are you able to stand?"

"I don't think so." Naminé struggled; Marluxia turned and saw her trying to stand.

"No, don't. I'll carry you."

Naminé had fallen asleep. Marluxia placed her on her bed and kissed her forehead. He turned and walked to the door. Naminé opened her eyes.

"Promise to be here when I wake up." She said and fell asleep before he gave an answer.

"I promise." Marluxia knew she heard him….He walked into the kitchen. Xemnas was talking to siax, when he passed they stopped speaking.

"What happened?" Siax asked, pretending like he cared.

"Naminé. I didn't mean to, but I did." Marluxia felt a tear roll down his cheek; he wiped it off with shame.

"A tear? Sadness. Could it be that Marluxia has grown a heart?" Xemnas asked himself. "Next time you shed a tear put it in this vile." He threw a test tube to Marluxia, who snatched it and put it in his pocket.

"I have to leave." Marluxia thought about Naminé.

"If you want, I'll send up Dmyx. He's good with healing."

"Ya. Sure."
