"If you have no farther use of that girl, I suggest you get rid of her. Get rid of her as soon as possible." Xemnas uncrossed his arms, "She might taint the Organization." He left. Marluxia could hear the thud of his boots going up the stairs to Naminé's room.

Chapter eight:

Naminé lay still, hoping the pain would go away. She felt bad for lying about love. Love, of all things, she had to lie about. She felt horrible, it was like she had feelings, it was like she had a heart.

The door bust open and off its hinges. She whipped her head around to see the disturbance. Xemnas stood there. She couldn't tell what he was thinking by the expression of his face. He took out a vile filled with a green liquid and drank it down. Xemnas hunched over in pain, when he brought his head back up he was no longer Xemnas, but Roxas.

"To return the favor." He said, "Thanks, what ever you told me to do…it worked." The blonde boy turned on his heal and left.

"Wait! Roxas, come back! What did you do!" Naminé leaned against the door frame.

"I told Marluxia off for you." Roxas smiled. "You have a heart, you shouldn't be here." He continued to walk down the stairs and out of her sight.

"I have a….heart." Naminé whispered, "But how?" Tears stung her eyes until she could no longer see.

……next day……

She woke up; hoping today would be they day she would be let free. She changed out of she flannel pants and tank top and into her white dress and blue sandals.

Right on cue Marluxia walked in the small white room. He sat down on the edge of her bed.

"Do your job and you can leave. All I ask is that you consider staying with me."

"I will." She lied. Naminé wanted to get the hell out of there. "I have been doing my job, I've erased most of his memories, but he will never forget his friends."

"What floor is he on?"

"The last one." She answered, Naminé didn't tell him about the other memories, the one's she added.

"Last floor, last battle." Marluxia stood, aware that his followers were all eliminated.

He left her to think about what he meant. Could it be that Sora had defeated all the other followers? Had he really gotten this far? Maybe he would rescue her and she could restore his memories? She would have to wait until after the last battle.
