Chapter 17:
Nox Noctis Carcer part 1
This new world was dark, mysterious, and it had an aura of insecurity. The four teens looked out to its dark horizon, only to see purple clouds which only made the area even more unsettling.
"Well this is creepy beyond all reason." Sora said.
"I'll say." Riku, Roxas, and Kairi answered.
"Maybe we finally made it." Kairi shrugged.
"You never know." Sora shrugged back.
"Well maybe we should just look around." Roxas started to walk around to see if the area was familiar at all.
The others followed suit, staying close together and looking all around. The enemies were just your average heartless, but they seemed stronger than normal.
"Hey guys, this is going to sound weird but, I feel like Naminé's close by." Kairi said.
"REALLY? WHERE?!" Roxas jumped in his excitement.
"That's the weird part, I can't tell, I just know that she's most likely here." Kairi replied, confused.
"We'll just walk around and see if you get to where you know where she is, ok." Sora suggested seriously.
"Ok, let's start looking around." Kairi nodded.
They walked for what felt like hours to no avail, Kairi's feeling of Naminé's presence didn't get any stronger or any weaker. They also didn't find any clues as to her where-abouts, the four teens just walked in silence, due to the creepy feeling in the air. They soon came to a cave, where they all decided to spend the night.
"Hey guys, what was the woman's name again? You know, the one that we think has Naminé." Roxas asked.
"Ausea, why?" Sora replied.
"I thought so. That name's familiar to me, I think Vexen said something about her once." Roxas looked at the ground as he spoke.
"Really? What'd he say?" Kairi asked.
"I think she was his assistant before Xehanort had him and some of his other followers help him to discover things about the heart, so basically before Vexen became a nobody." Roxas explained.
"So why'd she take Naminé then?" Riku asked.
"Revenge? Maybe she knew that Naminé and I were the only ones left who'd ever been a part of Organization XIII, and that we'd come after Naminé. She probably knows that Axel killed Vexen, and that Nami and I were his friends." Roxas was now pacing.
"So, she wants to get you guys since she can't get Axel?" Riku supposed.
"It kinda makes sense." Sora added.
"Well, where do you think they might be?" Kairi asked.
"Well, if we think about how things have happened in the past, I'd say a castle." Sora replied.
"Ok, so let's go find a castle in the morning." Kairi said, before laying down.
"Ok." The boys said.
The next morning, the islanders set out to go find a castle. It was still dark, so they weren't even sure if it was even morning.
"Do you guys think that this world is like Twilight Town?" Sora wondered.
"What do you mean?" Kairi asked.
"The sky, you know how it's always sunset in Twilight Town, maybe it's always night here." Sora explained.
"Hm. Maybe." Kairi shrugged.
"Who really cares? Can we just focus on looking for Naminé, please." Roxassnapped.
"Right!" Sora saluted.
The search for either Naminé or a castle went on and on for hours. The same heartless as the night before were popping up everywhere, and they were easily taken down. Roxas was beginningto doubt Naminé's presence, when Sora noticed that the blond boy was even more down than normal.
"Riku, Kairi, do you wanna look over there and come back when I say to?" Sora asked cooly.
"Sure, why?" Kairi said.
Sora nudged his head so that Kairi would understand that he wanted to be alone with Roxas for a while.
"Kay, we'll let you know if we find anything." Riku agreed, and then left with Kairi.
"Hey, Roxas, don't worry man, we'll find her, I promise." Sora said, putting a hand on Roxas' back.
"Well, we haven't found anything yet and we've been looking for hours, what if Ausea knew that we were here and left?" Roxas asked.
"But if the reason that she's got Naminé is what you think it is, then she wouldn't leave, she'd stay and try to get her revenge, right?" Sora suggested.
"I guess, but she might be just messing with our heads too, and she's gonna keep running until we give up." Roxas' pained voice said.
"We won't give up, we all set out to find Nami, and we're going to get her back no matter what." Sora said enthusiastically.
"But what if when we find her... what if we're too late?" Roxas looked like he was going to cry hysterically, but he was holding it back, he hated it when people saw him cry.
"ROXAS! WE'RE NOT TOO LATE! DON'T EVEN THINK THAT! YOU HEAR ME!" Sora yelled.
Roxas just looked at the ground silently.
"Roxas look, I know you've lost friends in the past, but things will work out better this time, I can feel it." Sora said calmly.
"That's almost exactly what Axel said the last time we had to look for Xion. We only knew that she was dead because we saw Riku, and when we did, it was right after she'd died, he just kept on saying her name and that he was sorry, so we were able to tell." Roxas said, with his face between his knees.
Sora sighed, and pulled his nobody into a hug, "It's ok if you cry, you're aloud to let out your feelings." Sora's comforting voice said.
Flash back
She was alone, and holding back tears that threatened to escape. When he came in the room he could already tell that she was breaking apart.
"Naminé, what's wrong?" Roxas asked, putting his arm over her shoulders.
Naminé buried her face in his chest and still held back the tears.
"Naminé, answer me, what is it?" He asked again.
"I'm sorry Roxas. I'm so sorry." Her voice cracked as she spoke.
"Sorry? About what?" Roxas asked.
"I shouldn't cry, nobodies aren't supposed to have emotions, so I shouldn't cry, but I might." Her voice broke even more.
"Naminé, you're aloud to cry, it's ok, but why are you crying, what happened." Roxas was almost mad that she'd said that she wasn't aloud to cry, but he couldn't be mad at her when she was like this.
"Mar-Marluxia ra-ra-raped m-me." Now the tears escaped, and they were soaking through Roxas' shirt.
"WHAT?! WHERE IS THAT SONOFAB*TCH!!!!" Roxas yelled furiously.
"Roxas don't, he's stronger than you, he'll hurt you." Naminé wrapped her arms around him tightly.
"Is he also the one who told you that you weren't aloud to cry?" Roxas asked.
"No, he only reminded me."
Later that evening, at dinner, Roxas walked over to Marluxia.
"Hey Marly, so I hear that you raped Naminé." Roxas said angrily.
"So what if I did? What's it matter to you? And don't call me 'Marly' geez, first Demyx, now you." Marluxia replied before taking a bite of his chicken.
"Yeah, that little whiney b*tch doesn't matter to anybody, she's just a weakling, I don't honestly know why Superior won't let us erase her." Larxene added.
Roxas grabbed Marluxia's jacket by the front of the collar and threw him to the ground, punching him over, and over, until his nose began to bleed, since Roxas broke it, because that was when Axel had pulled him off of Marluxia. Roxas kept on swinging his fists and kicking his feet angrily, even as Axel took the boy out of the room. Axel took Roxas to the main living room and tossed him onto the couch.
"Dinner isn't the time or place for that, what were you thinking? He's a superior member to you, you might get destroyed now!" Axel yelled angrily.
"Well Axel, I'm sorry that I'm not ok with him treating Naminé the way he did!" Roxas yelled back.
"Roxas, I don't like it either, but that's still not the way you should have handled the situation." Axel crossed his arms as he spoke.
"I hope someone kills him." Roxas said darkly.
"Well don't look at me, I'm not gonna try to face that guy, he's insane." Axel waved his arms around as he spoke.
"And Larxene too, did you hear what she said?!" Roxas fumed.
"Yeah, she's even more insane than Marly though." Axel shuddered.
"Earlier, when I went to go talk to Naminé, when she told me what had happened, she said that she wasn't supposed to cry over it, she said that Marluxia reminded her of that before he left." Roxas said angrily.
"Dude, you should go ahead to bed, I'll bring you something to eat later." Axel said.
"Ok, I don't think I wanna go back in there any way." Roxas stood up, and disappeared through a dark portal to his room.
A few hours later, there was a knock on Roxas' door, he got up and saw Axel and demyx standing there with food for him.
"Hey Roxi!" Demyx smiled.
"Hey Dem." Roxas smiled back, he moved out of the way so that the two other men could enter his room.
"Marly's nose is officially broken! That's what Vexy says at least." Demyx announced when he'd put Roxas' food on his little table.
"Man, I'm so going to get it in the morining." Roxas sighed.
"Xemnas said that he wouldn't punish you, he said that it was ok since you didn't kill him." Axel explained.
"Larxene's gonna kill me though." Roxas replied.
"Nah, she's too busy worrying about Marluxia to give a crap about your punishment." Axel said.
"For now." Roxas said.
Axel and Demyx nodded. "Maybe Larxy'll learn to be nicer to you now 'cuz she's scared you'll break HER nose!" Demyx said stupidly.
"Yeah, sure, you keep believing that." Roxas rolled his eyes.
After a while, Axel and Demyx left to go to sleep and Roxas just went to bed.
End flash back
Tears were slowly falling from Roxas' cheeks now and he was sitting so that he didn't face Sora.
"Sora, Roxas!" Kairi called.
"Yeah!" Sora yelled back.
"We see a castle!" Riku replied.
"Really?!" Roxas' now excited voice screamed.
"Yeah! C'mon!" Kairi yelled again.
Roxas turned around with a huge grin on his face and ran toward Kairi and Riku. Sora smiled and ran after the blond boy.
A/N
Did you like? Sorry any Marly or Larxy fans, but I hate them and the whole rape thing was just something that me and a couple of my friends always thought was something Marly would do. (He is the Michael Jackson of KH!!!!!! in my mind) srry that this one took so long for me to write, I had writer's block again!!! & we were reading Of Mice and Men in my English class, so I had a COMPLETELY different story in my mind since I had to focus on that. ^_^
