Identity Crisis
By: Orika
Orika: Thanks for the Reviews. It is sad of Naminé's situation but the reason behind it. Well it will soon be found out but that will be in later chapters.
Vampire Orika: (Sigh) This Mortal has one crazy imagination. I could even here you sleep talking about it…
Orika: Well that's just how I am… Oh I've revised somethings like I labeled which character is the focus of the story enclosed in X, just to avoid some confusions. In Roxas' side of the story I'll be using Kairi's name whenever his having a conversation with her or she gets to appear in the twist of his story, since he didn't know yet that she is actually Naminé not Kairi. I apologize for the confusions I've made...

Chapter 1: An Enemy or a Friend?
X Roxas X
Roxas made his way using his skateboard to school, the all Twilight Academy. He passed by an advertisement about Destiny High. He stopped and took a look at it for awhile.
Roxas used to go to Destiny High which was in an Island a station away from Twilight Town. It's not that he didn't like the school the reason he was in Twilight Academy.
Things were actually great at Destiny High. He got good grades, the teachers were nice, students get along, and mostly the reason he liked there the best was because of a certain blonde haired girl.
"Naminé…" Roxas mumbled as he tried to remember how she looked like.
Her sky blue orbs that were a fitting match with her golden locks the way her hand move at each stroke of her pencil at the sketch pad, it was so hypnotizing for him. He would always wait outside of her last class period, just to get a glimpse of her, before he leaves school. After staring at her for so long, he would then be going home a smile never leaving his lips. He had a huge crush on her ever since he saw her at first grade; he was planning on telling her during summer, but before he could… Death has beaten him and proclaimed her.
It was just like the sands running down inside of an hour glass. One day he heard the news of her death. Drowned from what he heard, her body lost at sea and was never found. He got traumatize and didn't talk for how many days, maybe he loved her too much and the pain of never getting the chance to tell her had hurt him real hard.
Roxas parents got worried about him and decided to move at Twilight Town to forget the memory. He gradually came over it and began talking again and began going to school again.
Twilight Academy, the only thing that he has to remember there, is that one must try to belong or else you'll be left out of the crowd. Thinking about it his mind drifted about the auburn haired girl.
The auburn haired girl named Kairi, when Roxas made friends with Hayner and the others, the first thing they told him is to avoid the girl. He didn't understand why so he asked, and he still remembered their answers.
"It's because she's crazy." Olette said.
"I heard she tried to commit suicide many times." Hayner said.
One thing he pondered about was what Pence said.
"They say she got confined in the asylum a few years ago."
Just where these rumors about her did came from anyway? His mother had always told him never to believe in rumors unless it was proven to be true.
Roxas shook his head to clear his thoughts. When he got to school it was still early and classes won't start within two hours. So he decided to take a tour around. He hasn't fully seen the entire school anyway. So off he went to explore, upon exploring he went up the rooftop and no one goes up there. He saw someone by the edge of the railings
"Who's that?" Roxas muttered. "It's so early…" He added and went a closer look.
When he got a few distance near he saw an auburn haired girl. There was only one girl who had an auburn haired girl. Kairi… It didn't seem that she noticed him.
She was doing something but Roxas couldn't see what it was. So he approached her from the back quietly. He didn't want to scare her off. He took a peek at what she was doing and upon doing so, his eyes widened.
She was sketching, she may have a talent for it, but then it reminded him of Naminé. The sketch of the scenery of the place was astonishing.
"Great… Sketching…" Roxas mumbled out of daze.
X Naminé X
Naminé came early at school. She didn't want anyone to be staring at her when she comes to school, but since she was always two hours early, she would go to the rooftop. No one goes there's so it became her hiding place. She took out her sketch pad and her pencil, and then she began drawing.
Naminé always loved drawing; it was the only thing that relieves her of her pain. She tried finishing the drawing she started yesterday.
"Great… Sketching…" Someone mumbled behind her.
Naminé stopped at her tracks. Her hands were trembling; she slowly turned around and met a pair of blue orbs. She jumped out of her seat and stepped back clutching her sketch pad.
"Don't be scared." He said. "I'm not gonna hurt ya." He added.
"That's what they all say…" Naminé said.
"Her voice sounds so familiar." Roxas thought. "It's true…" He said.
"You're Hayner's friend right?" Naminé asked in which Roxas nodded. "Then why are you talking to me?" She added.
"Well, it's not bad to talk to someone is it?" Roxas said. "And I can choose who I want to talk to and not." He added.
Naminé loosened her grip at her sketch pad. He may mean no harm at all.
"Well not everyone at school is like Seifer and Hayner right?" Naminé thought...
"Can I stay here then?" Roxas asked.
Naminé just nodded, "Anyone can stay here."
"The name's Roxas." Roxas said. "Roxas Hikari…" He added.
"Kairi…" Naminé said opening her sketch pad at the previous page she was about to finished.
Naminé didn't quite felt comfortable with Roxas staring at what she was doing, but then she just concentrated on finishing the picture.
"You draw very nice." Roxas said.
"Thank you…" Naminé said softly. She hasn't heard anyone praise her work except Kairi.
They stayed there for awhile until they heard the bell rang, signaling that first period will begin shortly.
"Don't you think you should go now?" Naminé said.
"What about you?" Roxas said.
"I still have some things to do." Naminé said.
"We can go together. I have same class as you do." Roxas said.
"No that's okay." Naminé quickly said. "I'll stay here for a little bit longer." She added she didn't want rumors to be spreading around.
"Okay then…" Roxas said. "I'll see you at class then." He added and left.
Naminé smiled. She hasn't smiled for a long time, she found a friend but then she wonders how long it will last?
Naminé then wrote her name on the drawing she just finished. No not Kairi… Her real name… "Naminé Sakura".
End of Chapter 1
