Behind Hidden Eyes

Chapter four: Thank You

Naminé woke up early the next morning so that she could change into her only piece of clothing; a short, white dress that hugged her curves. She didn't know why she woke up in a white dress that day Xemnas had found her, but she did not complain. She headed towards the table where her sketchbook was lying on it and sat down in front of it. She grabbed the pencil again and stared at the sketchbook before her. It was calling out for her to draw in it so badly that she couldn't resist. She opened up to the second page.

Her hand flew across the paper with the pencil slightly grazing the paper. She was barely paying attention to what she was drawing, but when she was finished, she wished she had never picked up that pencil. It was of Roxas. He was holding two keyblades and he was standing on top of a tall building, looking down on the World That Never Was with the moon shining down upon him.

Naminé's heart leapt when she heard a pounding noise coming from behind her. It looked like Roxas had come early this time. She quickly closed her sketchbook in order to keep Roxas from seeing what she had drawn.

She was about to open the door, but it flung open. She was expecting to see a boy with his hood up standing before her; instead, it was a tall man with pink hair. "Good morning, Naminé," he said sweetly.

Naminé shivered. She did not like the looks of this man at all. "My name is Marluxia, it is a pleasure to finally meet you." He shot out his hand in order for her to shake it but she didn't. She wasn't going to give him any reason to believe that she liked him.

"Well, I just wanted to welcome you to Organization XIII, and that you have a wonderful time here." Naminé snorted. Yeah, right. Naminé was about to close the door when Marluxia's hand shot out and grabbed hers. "It was a pleasure meeting you, Naminé," he purred. With that he kissed her hand and left.

Naminé slammed the door shut and leaned against it, breathing hard. What the hell is wrong with him? Can't he tell that I didn't want him there?

She headed towards the window. She felt so confined in her room. She placed her right hand on the cool glass with rain rolling down it on the other side and heaved another sigh, "I wish I wasn't stuck in this room."

"You and me both," a voice answered. Naminé let out a yelp of surprise and turned around. Leaning against the doorway was the hooded Roxas. He let out a laugh because of her surprised face. That laugh, Naminé thought.

"What are you doing here?" she asked, irritated.

"Uh, I'm your bodyguard, remember?" he sarcastically stated.

She rolled her eyes and turned her back on him and stared out of the large window again, arms crossed. She didn't want to see Roxas right now. Hell, she never wanted to be around him. He was just so… mean.

"What's wrong?" he asked, though he sounded as though didn't care what was wrong.

"I met one of the other members," she replied, still looking out the window.

"Which one?"

"Marluxia," she spat out.

Roxas didn't say anything for a while. When he did speak, his voice was full of warning, "You need to stay away from him."

Naminé nodded in agreement, "Believe me, I want to stay away from him, something just doesn't feel right when I'm around him."

"Apart from Xemnas and Saix, Marluxia is probably one of the more dangerous members," he said.

One of the more dangerous members? Naminé shuddered. She was more scared of him than she was when she met him.

Roxas was heading towards the long table to take a seat. Naminé followed pursuit and sat down across from him. "Where's my breakfast?" Naminé asked.

"Axel's bringing it up," Roxas said, leaning back in his chair and placing his feet on the table. Naminé walked towards, the table, grabbed the chair next to Roxas and sat down.

An awkward silence seated itself among them and the two of them just sat there staring off in opposite directions. Out of the corner of her eye, Naminé saw Roxas reach out towards something; it was her sketchbook.

"DON'T!" she yelled, throwing herself at his outstretched hand. Naminé snatched up her sketchbook and hugged it tightly to her chest, breathing hard.

"What do you mean, 'don't'?" he asked.

"I… I just don't want you to look at it. It's personal," Naminé said, lightly blushing.

"Aww, is wittle Naminé embarrassed of a stupid wittle drawing?" Roxas teased.

"Shut up Roxas, I just don't want you to see it."

"Whatever," he sighed. Roxas stood from his seat and walked towards the door. "What are you doing?" Naminé asked.

Roxas didn't answer; instead he opened the door to reveal Axel who was balancing a tray of food with one hand while the other was raised in the air about to knock on the door.

"Wow, Roxas, your senses are getting better every day," Axel complimented. Roxas stood aside and let Axel in, shutting the door behind him. They both walked over to where Naminé sat at the table.

"Good morning, Naminé," greeted Axel, "and how are you this morning?"

"I'm pretty good, thank you," smiled Naminé. Axel placed the tray with Naminé's breakfast in front of her.

"I hope you like pancakes because it's the only breakfast food we have," Axel said. He turned around and headed back to exit the room. "Where are you going? Aren't you going to stay?" Naminé asked.

"Wish I could but, I got a mission from the boss to take care of. See you later. Oh, and Roxas, be nice to Naminé," Axel said and then he left, closing the door.

Roxas growled and stood with his arms crossed as usual. Naminé learned to ignore this and stared at the tray of food before her. For some reason, she was not very hungry and pushed the tray out her reach. Roxas noticed this and pushed the tray back in front of her, "You have to eat."

Placing her head between her hands, she mumbled, "I don't want to eat. I'm not feeling that good."

"You have to eat though, Xemnas will kill me if I don't do my job of keeping you safe," he insisted. For the first time, Naminé heard panic in his voice; instead of ignoring it, she willfully took a bite of her pancakes.

With Naminé busy eating, Roxas whispered, "Thank you."

well i hope you enjoyed the chapter. thank you and see you in eight weeks
