Kingdom Hearts II

Every Heart

Hey ya'll! I'm having one hell of a time. I'm surprised that I haven't changed anything… --' But now, this is one week after the beach party and wouldn't you know schools about to begin. Damn I'm going to have fun writing the KH2 character's school lives now! Well, thank you all very much 4 the reviews! Keep on reading please!

After that day on the beach, Namine and Riku felt closer to each other everyday. But sadly, high school comes back to haunt the teens.

Chapter III: Train Rides Aren't Fun

"sigh I can't believe how fast time pasted by." Namine whispered gathering her sketchpad and colored pencils. She went over to her white dresser and placed the sketchpad there. She then walked over to her bad a slumped down onto it. Namine laid there for a while. It felt like hours.

"I feel so tired, all the sudden…" Namine said weakly, trying to keep her eyes open. But failed. She was out like a light… and school started in three hours!

Outside Namine's Home…

Riku was in the neighborhood and decided to see Namine. He stared up at the large white house before him. He started to walk toward her house, when suddenly,

"So Riku. What are you doing here?" Roxas walked out of the ally way. Riku stared at the blonde.

"What are you doing here? Oh, I know why. Your still sore about Namine's almost kiss with me aren't you." He said giggling. Roxas's face turned red with fury.

"Like hell Riku! I just don't want you to be around Namine!" He screamed.

"Roxas why do you pick fights with people who are out of your league." Riku said sighing. Roxas stared madly at him. Riku then turned away from Namine's house looking at Roxas. He smiled evilly. Roxas stared, a little worried. Riku brought out his sword.

"How about we settle this like the guardians of Kingdom Hearts we are. Besides, I have a score to settle with you anyway." (Some of you won't understand the "guardian" thing.)

Roxas smiled. "Bout time you finally said something smart." He brought out his swords out also. Riku gasped.

"We have school in about…two hours and forty-six minutes! You and I will meet at the Twilight Train Station. A half hour before school starts. Whoever survives until the clock strikes nine, gets Namine." He said. Riku started walking away with his sword on his shoulders. Roxas stared.

"Your on!" Roxas screamed to him. Riku waved at him and disappeared from view. Roxas suddenly covered his mouth with worry.

"Wait a minute! Namine's not a prize! Dammit! What have I gotten myself into…" Roxas kicked the ground. He took one look at Namine's house, then turned around with his hands in his pockets.

Later that Afternoon…

In Namine's room, she had just woke up. She sat up rubbing her eyes.

"Oh wow. I must of dozed off. Wait! What time is it?" She said falling out of her bed. She sat up again rubbing her head. Then looked at her alarm clock.

"WAHHH!" She screamed running around her room.

"Oh my god! School starts in like, twenty five minutes! Ah!" Namine ran back and forth through out her home. Grabbing her school books, ID Card, Book bag, and putting her school uniform on. Namine ran down the stairs, to only fall down them. She landed on her bottom. She ignored the pain and ran into her kitchen to the fridge. Opened it quickly, grabbed an apple to eat on the way and ran out the door. Namine's parents just sat around the table.

"Well, it's her first day of school in Twilight High and she's late." Her father said. Namine's mother laughed.

"It's a new record though." She said laughing. Namine's father joined in laughing.

Namine ran through the town. She ran all the way to the train station. But to only see a huge crowd of people in a circle watching something. Namine stared.

"I wonder what's going on." Namine said softly. She pushed through the crowd of people.

"Namine!" Kairi said grabbing her hand. She pulled Namine through every one and was on the sidelines. with her friends, then gasped at the sight. Roxas and Riku were locked within a sword battle. Roxas started to fall back. Riku smiled.

"Well, uh, look…who's here…" He said looking at Namine. Roxas looked at her. Her face full of worry. Suddenly time stopped. Only Namine and Roxas could move.

"Roxas?" Namine whispered.

"Namin—" Roxas was thrown back by Riku's force. Time had continued again. He was thrown quite far away. Every one in the crowd of teens laughed at him. He felt so stupid. But Namine didn't like it.

"Roxas!" She screamed running after him. She fell to her knees by his side. She looked at his face. He ignored her. Namine frowned. She put her hand on his arm. He blushed a light pink.

"Hey! Alright, alright, you two. Riku and Roxas. I would like to see you two once we get into the school." The train instructor said. The crowd of kids booed the man.

"Shut up you brats!" He screamed. No one else said a word.

Namine stayed by Roxas's side though. She looked at him again.

"So? Are you okay? Why were you and Riku fighting?" She asked helping him up. He pulled his arm away from her.

"I'm fine." He said coldly, Namine frowned. He continued to walk on his own to the train. Then stopped. He felt kind of bad. He sighed, and turned around.

"You coming Nam?" He asked softly. Namine smiled and nodded. She ran to his side and walked with him to the train. Kairi, Sora, Riku, Olette, Pence, and Hayner were already on the train and assigned designated rooms. But ironic as it my be, the eight friends ended up being in the same room. (Eight including Namine and Roxas.)

They walked into the area where Hayner and Sora were already causing trouble with Riku and Kairi and Olette were talking giddy. Namine smiled and sat down next to Kairi. Roxas sat by Pence and Sora. Everyone of them were happy. The train moved along smoothly along the railroad tracks. Everyone had quieted down. Namine looked out the window. She started thinking about the man in the black coat. He had the exact outfit as the Organization. His voice was also vaguely firmiliar. She tried to think of something else but failed. She continued looking through the window when a slight pain in chest arose. It felt the same as last time. She turned her body away from her friends, trying to hide the look on her face. Namine then gasped. There on the other side of the glass, was the same man in the black trench coat. Staring straight at her. Her eyes wide with fear. He reached out to her. She couldn't move her body. It was like it was paralyzed. The hand came through the trains window.

"STOOOOPPPP!" Namine screamed as loud as she could with all her might. She flew backwards falling to the floor of the train.

"Namine!" Kairi said worried. She bent down to her level. Namine stared at the window. Her friends looked at her.

"Hey Namine what happened?"

"Are you ok?"

"What's wrong? You look terrified."

"Are you going to be okay?"

Namine covered her ears, trying to block out her friends words. She stood up quickly and ran out of the area.

"Namine!" Olette said running after her. Kairi followed close behind. The guys stared.

" What was up with that?" Sora said.

"Something's wrong with Namine. She's been acting strange ever since we defeated Xemnes and the Organization. I wonder…" Riku said thinking. Everyone was quiet again. After a while, Olette and Kairi returned, looking exhausted. They all looked at them with concern. Kairi sighed then looked at Olette.

"Olette you tell them. I'm too tired." Kairi said flopping down onto the cushioned seat. Olette walked over to Kairi and sat next to her also. The guys stared.

"So? What happened with Namine?" Hayner asked. Olette took a breath in.

"Okay. I'm pretty sure we've all noticed that Namine has been acting strange. (Everyone nods.) Well, we didn't actually catch up to her. But we saw her for a split second—"

"What do you mean a spilt second?" Roxas asked curiously, interrupting Olette. Olette shot a glare at him.

"Let me explain." She said sternly. Roxas backed down. Kairi sighed. Then spoke up.

"Pretty much you guys Namine is hiding something and that something is hurting her. We have to get down to the bottom of this. It's making me wonder if Organization XIII is still around…" She sadly said.

"God don't say that." Riku whispered. They stared at him.

"So where's Namine now? And I still want to know what you mean by a split second." Roxas asked. Kairi frowned.

"Riku? You remember when you transported Namine and I out to safety in the Organization's Stronghold?" He nodded.

" Well, only the Organization can do that and, it's my hypothesis, but I'm thinking that Namine is still connected to the Organization." Kairi said stopping. Roxas slammed his fist into the wall. They all stared at him. Fear crept through the room. Roxas stood up and left also.

"Jeez, what's wrong with Roxas?" Pence asked.

"He was part of the Organization. But he had no memories of the place."

"And I think the last thing he wants to here is that it's back. Also he knows that they'll go after Namine also." Sora said taking over from Kairi. Riku nodded.

"Don't blame him… that place. There was no light. All darkness." Riku whispered to himself.

With Roxas…

Roxas walked down the halls oh the train. He started to thinking about the Organization. He grunted under his breath.

"Dammit…" He whispered. He then stopped in his tracks. There he saw Namine looking outside another window. He panicked and hid behind the doorway. He peeked around the corner, only to see a tear fall down her face. She wiped away the tear. But more ran down her face. Roxas thought of coming out of hiding, but he didn't know what to do. All he could do was watch. He had never actually comforted someone. Suddenly someone tapped on Roxas's shoulder, making him jump. He screamed a little, but his mouth was muffled.

"Riku…" He said through his hand. Riku put his finger to his mouth, telling him to be quiet. Roxas glared at him.

"Don't tell me what to do!" Roxas yelled at him. Riku sighed, already knowing that Namine was watching. He pushed Roxas out of the way and walked through the doorway leading into the room where Namine was. He waved at her. She stared, surprised.

"Sorry to intrude, but you kind of worried everyone." He said walking to her side. She smiled and wiped away her tears quickly.

"Sorry." She said.

"It's okay. What exactly happened back there, everyone's starting to worry about you. Is there anything you want to talk about… Namine?" He said softly. Namine stared at him tears welled in her eyes. Then walked up to him, putting her head on his chest crying. Riku stared down at her, then wrapped his arms around her. comforting her. She didn't push him away. Roxas once again stared with jealously and disbelief. Anger built inside of him.

"Damn Riku…get your hands off of her! You don't own her!" Roxas screamed in his head. He looked back up to see Namine in his face. Her face a little red from embarrassment.

"Has Roxas been standing here this whole time?" She thought worried. Roxas ignored her again. Namine frowned and walked around him back to her friends. Roxas turned his glare over to Riku. He stared at Roxas. The glared back.

"What is your problem Roxas?" He said coldly.

"You are my problem. Stay away from Namine. I don't care if you think your superior, but that-"

"Roxas what the hell are you talking about?" Riku screamed madly. Roxas stared.

"Your forgetting something. You don't own Namine! I've seen you glares and hate toward me. I don't do it to make you mad. I'm trying to make Namine happy. After all that she's been through and you still can't see what's right in front of you!" Roxas stared at him confused. Riku sighed.

"Your so dumb Roxas. I'm telling you this." He walked over to Roxas and grabbed his shirt. Roxas grunted, trying to fight back but failed.

"I'll protect Namine. Because your too stupid and self centered to even protect anyone. There might be a new enemy and I won't let you get in my way…" He said madly to Roxas. He let Roxas go and left. Roxas stood by himself. He started to think about all that's happened, wondering if Riku was right. But shook his head of the thought. Then he felt a dark aura. It was all around him. He could feel it, then it disappeared. He looked around the room. But sighed. He turned around and walked back to the seats where his friends were.

I know I know. You all are probably a little confused. But like I said. All will be explained in future chapters. Well anyway, how'd you like it.

Is the Organization back? Will Namine be okay? Will Roxas back off of Riku or not? Tune in next chapter. (Okay that was really cheap..)
