Chapter 19:

Nox Noctis Carcer part 3

"Roxas." Kairi said.

"Yeah." Roxas replied.

"She's in there." Kairi said, pointing at the huge door infront of her.

"Seriously?" Roxas asked.

Kairi simply nodded.

"Sora! Kairi says we found it. Go back to where we separated, go the way that we went, and walk straight until you get to the door at the end of the hall." Roxas told Sora thorugh his mind.

"Ok, we're on our way." Roxas heard Sora reply.

"Sora and Riku are on their way." Roxas reported.

"Ok, let's go in then." Kairi said.

Roxas and Kairi opened the door and looked inside.

"Hahahahahaha! I thought I smelled a rat!" A mocking and evil sounding voice called.

"Who's there?!" Roxas yelled, while his keyblade appeared in his hand.

"Why don't you guess?" The voice said.

Darkness collected in the middle of the room. When it separated, it revealed a woman. It was Ausea. She was wearing a black lolita-styled dress and she had dark purple leg-warmers covering the bottom of her legs. Her arms were covered with studded wristbands that went almost all the way up to her elbows. She was also wearing black fishnet two-finger gloves that did go all the way to her elbows. She still had the cat-like slits for pupils, and purple irises. Her hair was still red with blond streaks, but now it flowed to her waist. She had a malicious grin spread across her face.

"Hey kids! You looking for your little girlfriend? Sorry but, I'm not done with her yet." Ausea laughed.

"SHUT UP!" Roxas yelled, before running at her at full speed.

Ausea jumped quickly out of the way, and Roxas tried to kick her, she grabbed his foot and shook her finger.

"Tsk tsk, that's not a very nice way to introduce yourself now is it?" Ausea said.

"Where is she?!" Roxas yelled.

"Who?" Ausea asked.

"Don't play dumb! Where's Naminé?!" Roxas asked again.

Ausea let go of Roxas' foot, and poofed to a platform at the other end of the room.

"Oh her! Hee Hee. Well you see, I ran a few experiments on her, I guess you'll have to do as the test victim." Ausea laughed.

"Did you hurt her?!" Roxas yelled furiously.

"No, but you will." Ausea laughed again.

"What are you talking about?" Roxas' voice trailed off.

"I guess you're about to find out." Ausea said, before snapping her fingers.

Ausea's platform was lifted into the air, and a blond girl chained to the wall came into view.

"Naminé!" Roxas called, before running to her.

When he reached her, he moved the hair out of her face hastily. Then, he saw it, Naminé's fragile face, her eyes were closed, but Roxas didn't worry because he could feel her breathing. She had dirt allover her face, and her hair was far more greasy than she would ever let it get on purpose. Roxaslooked at her wrists, which were cut up due to her handcuffs, she'd clearly put up a fight at least once recently. His eyes trailed back to her face. He put his hand on her cheek and rubbed it gently with his thumb.

"Naminé." He said with a smile on his face.

"Awww, sorry to ruin this barf fest but, Naminé! Wake up! You're toy came!" Ausea called.

Naminé's eyes shot open and they were a perfect match to Ausea's, purple cat eyes. She was also angry. A growl escaped her throat and she began to try to attack Roxas.

"What the-. What'd you do Ausea?!" Roxas yelled, now far away from Naminé.

"Isn't it obvious?! I made her the ultimate fighting machine, she'll attack, and kill anyone I tell her to, even you. It's the perfect way to show my scientific genius, and avenge Even's death!" Ausea laughed.

"Even?" Roxas asked.

"Oh that's right, you knew him as Vexen, but in anycase, how do you feel about dying by the hands of your beloved? Because guess what, you're gonna, and she'll make it nice and painful for you!" Ausea laughed.

Roxas looked back to Naminé, she was still growling and fighting against the chains that kept her from harming Roxas. Her eyes held a desire to rip him to shreds.

"That's not Naminé any more. You turned her into some kind of animal." Roxas sounded crushed as he spoke.

Suddenly, the chains released, and Naminé sped towards Roxas. He held up his keyblade to protect himself from her. She then kicked him right in the stomach, sending him high into the air. He put the keybladein both of his hands, and split it in two, on the left he held Oathkeeper, and in the right was Oblivion. He aimed at Naminé and hit her, sending her to the ground. Roxas landed on his front painfully. When he stood up, a tear slid down his cheek. He wiped it away quickly, and ran toward Naminé, she jumped up, and tried to attack him, he guarded every hit she tried to make with ease. a small laugh almost like Ausea's left her throat when she saw his wet eyes.

"Aww, little baby's sad." Naminé said, in a voice far more sinister than her own.

"Stop it Naminé!" Roxas pinned her against a wall, and looked her deep in the eyes.

She was staring daggers at him, and hissing.

"Naminé, c'mon, you're still in there, fight! You have to be yourself again! This isn't you, I know it." Roxas begged.

"This is what ya get, sorry." Naminé growled, before kicking Roxas again, sending him flying.

Roxas coughed and blood splattered onto the ground infront of him. When he saw it, he wanted to hurl. Roxas always hated blood. But before he could, a hand grabbed the neck of his shirt and held him up. Naminé stared into his eyes ferociously.

"Kairi!" Sora called.

"Sora! We found her but, she's not exactly herself." Kairi threw herself into Sora's arms.

"Not herself? What do you mean?" Sora asked.

Kairi pointed into the room. When Sora and Riku looked, they saw Naminé holding Roxas in the air by the collar of his shirt.

"We have to help them! They might kill eachother!" Sora yelled.

"No Sora! This is their fight, we'll help by staying on the sidelines, roxas won't kill her, and she won't kill him. They might get very close, but you know them, they love eachother Sora, they wouldn't be able to kill eachother." Riku explained.

"So what happened any way?" Sora asked.

While Kairi explained, Roxas was trying to think of a plan to get Naminé to snap out of her insanity.

Maybe...nah... oh! that always works, I just have to get her to put me down...Roxas thought.

"Sorry if this hurts." Roxas said, before he swung his right hand at Naminé's face as hard as he could.

She fell, and Roxas stood up and waited. She got up, and wiped blood away from her mouth. She began to run toward him, but he opened a portal and stepped back into it. She turned around, thinking that he was going to pop up behind her. He wasn't there. Naminé turned back the way she was facing before, to see Roxas right in her face. She was going to attack him, when he forced his lips onto hers, he held her tightly. The kiss was more forceful, yet more passionate, than any they'd shared in the past. Naminé's eyes were wide, and she tried to squirm out of his arms. Roxas' eyes were closed, and he just tightened his grip on her whenever she squirmed. Soon, she stopped fighting, and her eyes closed, her arm wrapped around his neck. They parted, and Roxas looked into her eyes. They were the wonderful blue that Roxas always loved.

"I knew it would work." Roxas huffed.

Naminé smiled, but then she began to twitch. An eardrum breaking scream came out of her throat. She put her hands by her ears and fell to the ground, still screaming.

"Naminé! What's happening?" Roxas' worried voice almost yelled.

"Roxas... you have to...get out... before I... hurt you!" Naminé screamed.

"I'm not leaving you here, and you aren't going to hurt me!" Roxas cried.

Naminé looked at the ground, and began to take deep breaths. She looked back up, and the purple was back in her eyes, but her pupils remained round. Her hand flew at his face, but with less strength than before. She kept on struggling, one second she looked lkike she'd kill him, the next, she looked like she was the broken and scared girl that she was back when her and Roxas lived with Organization XIII.

Man, if that didn't work then what will? Do I have to... Maybe, it always calms her down, but I need her to listen. Why does this have to be so hard? Roxas thought.
