Roxas had been following Naminé when the shadows started stalking her. At first Roxas wasn't that worried, every now and then a heartless would appear and try and follow someone but give up because they thought their prey wasn't good enough or they found bigger things to capture but more and more started following her until there was a crowd, all trying to get to her. At this point Roxas was about to jump out and try to get rid of them before they did any real damage but Naminé was obviously more in tune with her powers then was first apparent, because she whirled around and tried to see what was going on, but all but one shadow had faded away, unluckily she saw it and freaked out, running away. Roxas cursed and ran after her until they arrived at the park but the heartless had obviously sensed her fear and became excited because they ran after her faster and surrounded her. Roxas cursed again, summoned his keyblade and leapt out in front of Naminé blocking the shadow that had leapt at her and threw it to the floor dispelling it to the shadows.
Roxas heard a sigh of relief and disbelief behind him as Naminé opened her eyes. He looked round to see if she was okay and saw her looking at him, trying to work out who it was and most of all what this person was holding. Then a glow distracted him from Naminé and made him look at her backpack. Could that be...? He sensed another heartless coming at him and he whirled around cutting it in half before it even could get a chance to touch him. All right, getting rid of the heartless first, questions later. He charged swinging his keyblade as he did vanquishing a few shadows as Naminé watched amazed and terrified at the whole situation, the glow in her backpack had become stronger in the time that the hooded stranger had come and she looked at it again suddenly compelled to reach into the bag and take the notepad that was in it out but she tore her eyes away and watched the stranger as he got rid of the creature which seemed to disappear with a puff of smoke. All of a sudden she got an overwhelming sense of danger that made her turn just in time to see a creature coming towards her. She froze and watched as it came towards her. Her eyes turned towards the stranger who was occupied with seven of the creatures. She did what her instincts told her to, she screamed.
Roxas swirled around, hearing the ear piercing scream that travelled through the air "damit!" he ran towards her ignoring the shadows behind him. The shadow had already reached Naminé. No! He witnessed the shadow pounce on Naminé, he had travelled the distance between them and he jumped, span and cut the shadow apart. He looked down and sighed in relief. She's just unconscious. He looked at the remaining shadows and said with a powerful voice "Aero!"he pointed his keyblade at them anda powerful wind stirred up, sending the shadows skidding across the floor and finally exploding in a puff of shadows. Roxas grimaced, picked up Naminé and exited the park.
Naminé only remembered parts of the night. Coldness had touched her leg and she had fell unconscious, after that she only remembered bits and pieces. Someone had picked her up; she remembered that much and she remembered the someone who had picked her up had done something with her leg which made her feel better. Then suddenly she remembered the person who had picked her up had got some keys out to open and she remembered thinking as she saw them this person has a bit too many key chains and then why I'm I thinking of that type of thing! Before feeling an overwhelming pain in her leg for the second time that night and falling to the blackness again.
Naminé woke up sitting up in her bed only to lie back down again as a white hot pain shooting up her leg. What happened? Why is my leg hurting? Where am I? Questions flew through her mind but she calmed them down and tried to think of what happened. I was running away from something... suddenly she remembered what had happened the night before. What...How... ugh I'm so confused. She lay in bed for a few minutes observing her surroundings; she was in a plain white room which was sparsely furnished except from a chair and a table. There was a window, but she didn't recognise the location outside. She then smelt and heard some egg cooking somewhere. Her stomach growled. Typical me, hungry at this type of situation. She sighed and was surprised to realise that she was really calm, even if she was in this crazy situation. Suddenly the door opened and Naminé nearly jumped out of her skin. To her amazement it was Roxas who came in with a tray full of food and put it down on her lap
"You need to eat" said Roxas
"But, Where a..." Naminé was spluttering trying to make sense of the situation
"Questions later, food first" Roxas replied in a kindly but still stern way. Naminé took a bite out of her toast, then another and then
"How long have I been unconscious?" Naminé asked. Roxas sighed then replied
"Around three days" Naminé's eyes widened and the questions that she pushed down earlier threatened to escape
"What! But my parents..."
"They been notified" Roxas replied "don't worry"
"But how!" Naminé's previous composure was gone
"Marluxia told them" Roxas said "look I prefer you ate before we discuss anything" Naminé ignored him
"The gardener?" Roxas sighed
"It looks like I will have to answer your questions" he sighed again "but one at a time please" he looked exasperated
"Ok" Naminé thought "do you know what happened to that hooded man that saved me last night" Roxas laughed
"You're looking at him"
"You, saved me?" Naminé blushed
"Yep" Naminé was still expecting him just to laugh and say the whole thing was a joke but he looked dead serious.
"Ok, next question" Naminé cleared her throat as she tried to regain some composure "Who are you?" Naminé expected him to laugh but he looked very serious
"Well it depends... can we leave that out till later?" Naminé was about to protest but he saw Roxas's face which seemed to have turned into a stony mask
"Ok, what were those things that attacked me?"
"Those were heartless"
"Heartless?" Naminé curiosity peeked
"Their beings of pure darkness"
"What do you mean?"
"Exactly what I said". Roxas hadn't moved an inch at these questions and he answered them like it was a normal conversation "what's worse is that they were actually originally human" Naminé remembered the heartless and shuddered
"They don't look anything like humans though"
"That's because their hearts was taken away from them" Naminé gasped
"How?"
"They were attacked by other heartless"
"That's horrible"
"You don't know the worst of it"
"What is the worst of it?" Naminé asked. Another stony face. Naminé thought for a while, chewing her lip and thought to the previous night
"What were you hitting those heartless with?" Roxas smiled
"It was a keyblade, it's my chosen weapon... well actually it chose me but that's irrelevant" he saw Naminé's inquisitive face "well I suppose a demonstration is in order" he stood up and rummaged in his pockets until he found what he was looking. "Here they are" Naminé was confused, the thing that Roxas had pulled out of his pockets were a bunch of keychains but they only had two keys. What is going on? Thought Naminé. Roxas looked amused at Naminé's bewildered face and said "wait a sec" he pulled up the one key and cupped it within his hand leaving the rest of the keychains dangling from a ring. "Exsisto!" there was a small flash of light and when Naminé looked again there was a key in Roxas's hand
"How?" Naminé spluttered
"It's another one of those things that take way too long to explain, but I will later" said Roxas scratching his head. Naminé thought amazed at what she saw. Well I shouldn't be too surprised; this whole situation is completely crazy.
"Just one more question" Naminé said even though she had a million more "when you... saved me last night you were using another keyblade not the one you just had"
"Oh yeah, I should explain that" he looked at his key blade and said "reverto!" another flash of light and the key blade was just a bunch of keys again. Once again Roxas cupped a key between his hands but this time he took one of his keychains with him. "exsisto" another flash of light and there was a keyblade in Roxas's hand again but this time it was a different one it was black all other and had some other differences "I can summon different keyblade's, each one has a different abilities this one is called oblivion and its one of my favourites"
"Oh" Naminé was processing everything when Roxas turned to her and said
"Is your leg alright?" Naminé nodded, her leg hadn't been hurting since she had eaten her breakfast "Ok, test time"
"what do you mean" she looked at him
"I'll explain when we get there" he looked slightly worried
"ok" Naminé said, she was still slightly dazed from the morning
