yay! A Namixas/Roxamine chapter! Personally, I like calling it Namixas better... But I like Roxiri (just the word) more than any other pairing name. Have you ever seen FFVII Advent Children? One of my friends thought up calling the Larxene/Marluxia pairing Marleen while watching that. XD ...
And at the first few lines the words in parathesis are what Roxas is thinking. XP ... And somehow during the story I changed it from mostly following Roxas's POV and then by the end it's mostly with Namine. sort of.
This is PostKH2... I think... It's just after KH2, okay? XD

"Roxas!" Huh?
"Roxas I know you can hear me!" What?
"Come on! ROXAS!"
Roxas's eyes slowly blinked open to see a blue sky above him. Fluffed clouds were scattered across the sky. The strong smell of saltwater immediately clogged his nose. Soon the sky was blotted out as someone leaned over him. Naminé… She looked relieved.
"Here you are! It took forever for you to appear!" Appear? Naminé sat down next to him but continued to lean over him until she pulled back as Roxas sat up. He looked around. The ocean they were sitting parallel to explained the saltwater smell. Wait… ocean?
He turned his back towards the ocean as he faced Naminé. "Where are we?"
The blonde girl giggled. "Where do you think we are? Can't you remember anything from your Other? Look around; it's pretty obvious where we are, Roxas."
And Roxas did just that. They were sitting on sand… A beach, then… and they were right next to a dock where too people were sitting. He didn't really think about looking closer to see who they were before he turned back to Naminé. "Ummm… An island… maybe?" then his eyes widened as he put together what he said. "Oh! Destiny Islands!..." He looked back to the people who were sitting on the docks. They were Sora and Kairi. He smiled before turning back to Naminé again, but his smile faltered as he then realized something. "Hey Naminé... I can kind of… see through you…"
Naminé shifted her gaze towards the ocean. "Well… We don't exist…"
"Oh..."
"I'm guessing that the only reason we can see each other right now is because they're together." She pointed at Sora and Kairi.
"But how does that make sense? Can we only… 'exist' when Sora and Kairi are together?"
Naminé shook her head and looked back at Roxas. "No, after I joined back with Kairi I sort of just existed inside of her. So wherever Kairi looked I had to also. Same with hearing and things like that. I could even occasionally hear her thoughts, but only the ones that she thought about really strongly... Like Sora." She smiled slightly. "But one thing that I realized was that whatever emotions Kairi had, I felt them too! Even if they were just her feelings and not my own, I could still feel." Naminé smiled.
Roxas stared at her quizzically. "So if all that's happened to you… how come I haven't noticed anything at all?"
The blonde girl thought for a moment before grinning. "Because you've been doing what your Other has been doing almost all this time. You've been sleeping!" Naminé laughed.
Roxas made a face and thought about what she said before replying, "Whole time? How long has it been since Xemnas was defeated?"
"Xemnas was defeated… about… maybe yesterday or so? I can't really keep track of time. But I remember after you… or I guess Sora and Riku got back they went to their houses to sleep… I'm guessing their families were very surprised at their return from the two years they were missing."
Roxas nodded. "I think I remember some of that." The two sat in silence until Roxas said, "Does this mean that we can only see each other outside of our Others when they're together?"
"I think so… But I'm not sure why."
Roxas grinned and quoted himself, "I see myself the way you remember me. And you see yourself the way I remember you…This is almost like déjà vu."
Naminé laughed. "You're right… So I guess since we were able to see each other then, we still can."
"Well… That's probably the closest to an answer that we'll ever get."
The two sat in silenceand turned towards the ocean to face the now setting sun.
"I wish I had my sketchbook." Naminé murmured sadly. Roxas looked over at her as she reached a hand out towards the orange sun. She laughed softly as she saw that she could still see the sun almost as well as if her hand wasn't there. "I wish that we could actually be somebodies. I don't want to have to live the life of someone else."
"Well... Even if we don't have our own lives, we can still at least be together."
"Only when Sora and Kairi are together."
"But... It's still better then no time at all."
"I guess -- Roxas! You're Fading!"
"Wha?" He looked down at himself. He was starting to flicker. But that wasn't how Nobodies Faded, was it?... A thought sprang into his mind. He looked over at the dock. Kairi was standing there alone and waving to someone. He looked around in the direction she was waving and saw Sora waving back as he walked away. "I'm not Fading. Sora's just leaving... So I guess that means that we can only see each other when Sora and Kairi are together then."
Namine nodded but then blurted out, "What if we can't see each other again? What if this was only a one-time thing and we'll never be able to see each other again even when Kairi and Sora are together?... I don't know what I'd do if I was never able to see you again."
Roxas grinned. "You'd go insane. I mean really, who can live without being able to see me?" He laughed.
"Roxas. I was being serious!" Still, she couldn't help but laugh.
"I promise I'll come back Namine. Is that good enough for you?"Roxas laughed and he started flickering more as Sora got further away.
The blonde girl crossed her arms playfully and giggled. "No. It is not enough." Her eyes widened in complete surprise as Roxas leaned in and kissed her.
"Is that enough?" He laughed. Then he noticed that he was starting to flicker more and more. "Well... If you want more, I guess you'll have to wait until next time." He winked and laughed again before he stopped flickering. He was gone.
Namine put two of her fingers against her lips and smiled.
"I guess I can wait."

Yay! There's my 'wonderful' Namixas chapter! XD
Disclaimer: I do not own Roxas, Namine, Sora, Kairi, Xemnas, Riku, or Destiny Islands... And I'm pretty sure that's all I mentioned in this chapter, yes? Well, I don't own anything that has to do with KH. Let's just leave it at that, kay? XD
I will now bore you to death by saying that this chapter was incredibly short. It's below my average number of words per entry by about... three thousand, threehundred words. XD ... Am I lazy or what? Actually, yeah, I am lazy... It's taken me waaaay to long to update this story... But if it helps you at all, I named the spider under my desk after you. I'm joking... What I meant to say, is that if it helps at all, I've put myself on a schedule that says I will update this story each week until I run out of ideas for chapters. XP...
Anyways...
My list of requests so far is...erm...:
Demyx/Kairi (Demyx returing to the islands)
Another Larxel
Xemnas/Saix
And other possible ones I have ideas for in my head:
AkuRoku (friendship)
Namine/Marluxia
Marluxia/Larxene
Larxene/Roxas
And as much as I might hate it, I might do something for Xemnas and Saix... It will be more of a friendship like thing though... because I have a problem with making characters gay. XP ... Speaking of which, I've given up on finding my AkuRoku friendship chapter and I'm rewriting it while I can still remember what it's about. So don't be surprised if it's the next chapter. XD...
When and if I get around to the Namine/Marluxia it might actually be it's own oneshot story just because if my idea pulls through, Marluxia is dead... so there can't really be much friendship or romance going on there. XD ...
I've had the idea for the next Larxel for a loooong time. It might just take forever to write. If it's even half as long as I see it in my mind it's about twelve-fourteen pages long. XP... But a lot of it will be about their past lives... so I dunno... The Marluxia/Larxene is under going heavy construction to be longer. If I wrote it just as I'm thinking of it right now it'd only be about two pages long. XD
I have the basic idea for the Xamnas/Saix but it's still being worked on... I only just thought of the idea once it was requested. XP...
The Demyx/Kairi is actually mostly written so far... but I'm having slight difficulties and it's making me insane. XD
Now... I think Fuzy will personally slay me because this chapter just does not qualify for one of her 'awesome' stories/chapters. XD
Anyways...
I was soooo happy when I read the review from Hope. It was like 'Yay, someone loved that chapter sooo much!' It made me estatically happy for the rest of that day. XD
And just to get it out, I don't think Larxene would have kissed Axel back in the last chapter. There is always the highly unlikely chance that she would... But whether she did or not, I think Axel would have spent the next few days dodging loads of kunai and thundaga. XD
Now that I'm completely done rambling, you may review now. You have my permission. XD ...
That sounded sooooo stuck up. XP
Just review if you feel like it, kay?
And you can send a request too, if you want. : )
