HnH: Thanks to Bloody Vampyre Mistress, Quillian(unique penname), chefbekah1304(I get the overwhelming urge to call you Chukobher) kingdomfantasyanime453 (your penname is pretty, too), babyangelwintergirl and myxbeautifulxlove. Alas, there is NO way I can make this end in two chapters. There's some stuff that I HAVE to put in here, and it'll take longer than two chapters. Sorry to people who despise this story. But I don't know /when/ to end it, that's the problem! If you all wanted to and let me, this story could EASILY go into the late-30's early 40's.

Roxas: -twitch- That's a lot of Namixas...

Axel: You should go on the internet, Rox. There's a lot of, errr...

Roxas: -snatches laptop away from HnH and goes to her favorite list- Hmm...wonder what this website is... -clicks on this website, then on games, then on Kingdom Hearts-

Kingdom Hearts Cast and Reno: -surround HnH's laptop-

Reno: -starts to laugh as the KH cast begins to fume at some of the yaoi/yuri stories- Hahaha, you guys are all so queer!

HnH: -angry mumble- You're lucky, Reno, YOU get to insult them, but I can't because I don't own any of them...-whisper- Don't own what this is based on, either...

Angels in Flight: Towa no Shirube

Chapter 5: Lost Fantasy...Denied

(Naminé's POV)

The next thing I remembered was being in a room of all white. Nothing but white. Even the door was white, the hinges were white...it was so WHITE. I could've sworn the shadows cast by the corners of the room were white, too. Was that even possible?

Anyway, I was here all alone with nothing to do, nothing to see besides from white. I felt like I was in an asylum or something. I took a look at myself, and I was kind of surprised. My leg was bandaged up, and there was probably something on my neck to stop the bleeding from the cut that had been there. (If it was still bleeding) My cloak was gone and I was wearing someone else's clothes. An electric yellow dress and matching orange sandals. I wanted to look in a mirror to see how utterly ridiculous I probably looked.

But that was beside the point. I just wondered who dressed me, as the only people I saw in the Organization were guys. Oh, if they had the nerve - ! I walked up to the door and tried to open it, but it was locked. So, it was a door that could be locked from the outside? Maybe someone WAS outside. I started to pound on the door. "HEY! Anyone out there? I've got a bone to pick with you all! You have some nerve, dressing a lady! You could've at least ma-" The door opened, and I stepped back.

The member pulled back the hood to reveal - a girl! Oh, thank Kami-sama there was at least ONE female member I could relate to! Wonder how she survives being around all guys? Maybe there's some more members in this Organization(let's just call it Organization XII because I don't want to accept the fact that Roxas is apart of it...) XII that are girls?

"I'm Arlene." Arlene held out her hand, and I hesitantly shook it. "You're wearing some of my old clothes, and I really liked yellow and orange when I was younger. Don't worry, I made sure you look pretty cute." I took a sigh of relief. "Oh, uh, if you need anything, just yell and scream and one of the members should hear you."

"Do you think you could get me something to draw on?" I asked. Arlene nodded and walked out of the room, leaving the door open. I looked outside, and to the left and right. The coast was clear, and this may be my only chance to explore this place! I might as well take advantage of this opportunity...I stepped out of the room, and brushed off my dress nervously. Left or right? Since I was right-handed, I decided to go to the right hallway.

Soon enough, I heard some music.

"Restless tonight
Cause I wasted the light
Between both these times
I drew a really thin line
It's nothing I planned
And not that I can
But you should be mine
Across that line" I knew it wasn't Roxas, because his voice is much more...I don't know? More...beautiful? Could you even say that about a GUY'S voice? To play it safe, we'll say Roxas' voice is gorgeous. Just like his eyes... Well, I was sidetracking so much on how he was gorgeous, I was subconsciously walking towards the music. When I reached the door(which was a lovely shade of ocean blue) there was a sign on it that read 'MUSICAL NOCTURNE'S ROOM. ROCK ON!'

I decided it was safe to open the 'Musical Nocturne''s door. As soon as I rested my hand on the doorknob, I was filled with immediate sadness and regret. I didn't know why, but I quickly withdrew my hand from the knob. That was weird...Then, I walked to the next door I saw, which was a firey red. It read, 'Flurry of Dancing Flames' Room. KNOCK FIRST.' I wondered what would happen if I touched this person's doorknob, so I did. Immediately I felt an intense amount of anger and hate. I almost screamed because it just overwhelmed by body. I jerked away from the door, and made a mental note never to go back there again.

The next room I came to had a silver-blue door. It read 'Luna Diviner's Room.' Then, there was a little flip-sign that read 'SAFE MODE' I was curious, so I flipped the sign over. The other side read 'BERSERK MODE. DO NOT ENTER.' I quickly flipped it back over. I wondered what this person's door would be like. Whenever I touched a door in this place I just got a jolt of feeling. It was pretty strange...When I grasped the doorknob, I was filled with serenity and I felt like I was at peace. It was a very nice, soothing feeling. I liked it a lot. I kept note of this person's door color and went on my merry way.

Next door was a gray/blackish color. It read 'Cloaked Schemer's Room'. This time, I felt...confused. A great amount of confusion. In fact, I felt everything swirling together and before I completely lost it I snatched my hand away. As I walked along the hallway, the door I came to next was a reddish-brown. It read 'The Silent Hero's Room.' When I placed my hand on the doorknob this time, I'm not too sure what I was feeling. I felt like I had a fever and was very sick, and that my mouth was glued shut. I didn't like the feeling so I went on to the next room.

It was a cold, ice-blue door reading 'Chilly Academic's Room. Don't Come In If You Value Your Chemical Structure.' This time, I felt very numb. Like a piece of dry ice. Very, very numb and unfeeling. In fact, I was so numb-feeling it took me a moment to actually get my hand off the knob. Next one was a indigo colored-door, reading 'Whirlwind Lancer's Room.'

Mistrust is what I felt, acute or extreme paranoia! Like everyone was out to get me! No where was safe! People are always laughing about ME! Ahhh! At!tack! of! the! ex!pla!nat!ion! marks! Once I removed my hand I felt all better, and not so...crazy? Next up was a cheerful light purple color. It read 'Freeshooter's Room.'Sup?' What I felt was laid-back and relaxed. Not serene like the Luna Diviner's room, but just...lazy and carefree.

Since I had to get back to the room I had been in, I hurried up and went on to the next room, which was a weird color. I couldn't explain it. It was like the color of a prism. Kind of white, but with other colors somehow in it. When I placed my hand on the doorknob, this time, I felt jealous. Very jealous of everything. I just wanted everything to be MINE! I didn't care who got hurt in the way, everything had to be MINE! It didn't matter, nothing matter, I just wanted everything! Why did everyone else get everything? What was so wrong with ME?

As I left the room to do my 'evil and diabolical' plans, I collapsed on the floor, needing time to get my feelings back in order. Organization XII was a very dangerous group, I realized. Their domain was dangerous for a nice, sweet girl(and Roxas) to be in. Why was he even here in the first place? Everyone here obviously had emotional problems, because I realized just then that what I was feeling when I touched their doors was what they were feeling. Why that had happened? I don't know, but I had a funny feeling it had to do with my memory powers.

I walked back down the hallway, keeping my hands behind my back to make sure I didn't get any temptations again. When I came back to the unbearably white room, I noticed it didn't look like Arlene had come by yet. So, this time, I took the left hallway. The next room(which had hearts, spades, diamonds and clubs decorated on the plain white door) was labeled as 'GAMBLER OF FATE'S ROOM, A.K.A POKER ROOM.' when I touched the doorknob, I felt in a very...daredevil-ish mood. I wanted to risk everything! Gamble everything I owned to get more! Live life on edge!

I didn't like this Gambler of Fate already(I, personally, thought he was greedy) so I went on to the next room, which was pink. I mentally squealed, more female bonding! Of course...that was before I looked at the door. It read 'Graceful Assassin's Room' of course, that was crossed out in red and it looked like someone wrote over it. I squinted at the wording. As soon as I deciphered it, the door swung open and revealed a pink-haired man in a black Organization cloak.

"Oh, hello, sweetie! Just checking out Proof of Existence, are you? Oh, don't worry about me! I wouldn't hurt a fly!" I opened my mouth, but decided to shut it. Did this man know what someone had written on his door? "I'm Raimaul, but you can call me whatever you like, honey! Oh, if you're looking for Roxas, his room is down the hallway. And if you're ever in any trouble, just come to me, alright? I'll get you out of it in a jiffy!"

As I walked away I wondered why anyone would want to be so mean to Raimaul. He was very sweet, so what if his hair color was pink? "Oh, and Naminé-hime, if you like to garden come see me!" He yelled. And so what if he liked to garden? It's personality that counts! The next door I stumbled upon was electric yellow. 'Savage Nymph's Room' it was labeled as. I gently grasped the doorknob and felt...very happy. Not hyperly so, like Umiri, but very happy with life.

I smiled to myself and began walking to the last of Organization XII's room - Roxas' room. There was many things written on his door. Like, 'The Best Friend a Friend Could Ever Have', 'Key of Destiny', 'Great Lead Singer - THANK YOU, CLEAVELAND!', 'Lucky Kid...', 'Come Down and Garden With Me, Sometime!', 'You're Friends With Axel. Poor You', 'Come See Me For Fashion Advice, Rox!', 'Thanks For Solving That Puzzle For Me', 'How the Heck Did You Lift 100 pounds, Kid?' and, last, but certainly not least, 'You're a great kid'. I could deny it no longer. I bet the Organization treated Roxas like their kid brother. He was apart of it...but, I still had to believe that he didn't join this because he wanted to kill me. Maybe it was peer pressure?

Regardless, I twisted the doorknob, but before I fully opened it the feelings that flooded me stopped me. I felt...very empty and mournful. Like I had just failed to protect someone that meant the world to me. But, most of all, which really shocked me...I felt unloved and lonely. How could Roxas even feel like this? I frowned and opened the door. There he was, sitting against the wall with his knees drawn up and his arms draping over them. Oh! He looked so lonely and sad, but I couldn't help but think he looked irresistibly adorable, because well, he was! He didn't seem to notice me, yet. He was wearing an Organization cloak that looked like it was brand-new.

"Roxas?" I asked quietly. He looked at me, then looked back down. I frowned and walked over to him. "Is everything all right?" I asked again, sitting down next to him. He shook his head. "Don't get mad at me, but...I know what you're feeling, and I just want you to know, that no matter what you have to go through in life, I'll be with you, standing by your side helping you through it!" I grasped his hand and smiled at him.

"..." Still, he didn't say anything. He still seemed really sad. I frowned. I felt terrible, that he was sad and I was remotely content(for the most part) with life. I wanted him to be happy, too!

"So, please..." I sighed, squeezing his hand, "Wherever you go, don't go alone..." He looked at me like I was some kind of psycho. I let go of his hand as my frown deepened. "I shouldn't have barged in like that and said all that to you, you must want to be left alone...I'm sorry." I was about to stand up, when he grabbed my arm and just pulled me into a hug!

I hugged him back. Then, after a moment, he released me and practically pushed me out the door. I heard the door close and the lock click. I felt like it was some lost fantasy that he just denied. I felt so safe in his arms... I sighed and walked back to the White Room, waiting for Arlene to get paper like I asked her to.

"Sorry I took so long, Your Highness." Arlene handed me a pencil and a sketchpad when she came back. "Security was packed! They really are looking for you. Well...it has been a day since you've been here." I looked at her, surprised.

"A day?" I said in disbelief. Poor Umiri, she was probably getting pegged with questions by Seifer - Oh no, Seifer! What the heck is he going to do now that he knows I took advantage? I just hope that he won't look for - "Arlene! You've got to warn Roxas! Seifer will probably ask him where I am!" She stared at me.

"Is Seifer your bodyguard?" She asked. I nodded my head. "Does he have blonde hair, a stuck-up attitude, and a weapon that's like a...Hmm, what would you call it? Gunblade?"

"That's him! Why?" I asked, and was afraid of how she would respond. Arlene gulped and rubbed her arm.

"I should've known better..."She mumbled. I was confused. Something happened between Arlene and Seifer, that I knew.

"What happened?" I asked. She crossed her arms and refused to look at me. I knew this was probably going to take awhile...

-Flashback Begins in Third Person POV-

Everywhere was stuffed with guards. It was like you couldn't even breath. There Arlene was, slightly out of place. Not like anyone noticed, anyway. They were all in a big commotion about how the Princess got kidnapped and what-not. Conveniently in front of the art store was Seifer. Of course, he was standing in FRONT of the door looking all cocky.

"Excuse me," Arlene said politely to Seifer, "Could you please move aside? I need to get inside the store." He looked her up and down and pointed his gunblase menacingly at her.

"What for?" 'What for? What the heck does he think I'm going to an art store FOR? To buy cheese and crackers?' She thought angrily, but instead of smashing his face in, Arlene forced a sweet smile.

"I need to buy some paper for my little sister. She loves to draw, so now can you please let me get to the door?" She asked. Seifer frowned and took a step to the right. When she was walking out of the store, Seifer gently placed something in her hood..

-Flashback Ends-

Arlene turned around so I could see what Seifer placed in her hood. She told me that she knew he had done something to it, but had decided not to make a comment about it because there were guards all over the place and they'd lock her up if she touched him, most likely. She said she figured that he was one of those snobby little rich boys that always had five or six bodyguards. That wasn't too off mark, either.

"This isn't...what I think it is, is it?" I asked, taking the blinking microchip out of her hood. It was so small I could barely tell what it was at first, but now dread filled the bottom of my heart as I realized what this could be...Arlene's face fell also, and she snatched it from me.

"A-A tracking device! Great! Now he's probably getting some army and gonna blow the place!" She looked at me, then back at the chip. "Gotta tell Superior. Wait right here and DON'T move!" She ran off at the speed of lightning. Well, maybe that fast, but it was pretty fast if I say so myself. I sighed, slid down the wall and started to draw. I don't know what I was drawing, really, it's like I forgot everything and was in some fantasy world.

When I looked back at my drawing I came to the conclusion that it was kind of strange. Roxas had those two wings again(behind him was a ghost-like and spirit-looking Utsuho), he was holding onto me, looking like he was protecting me from two redheads(one looked like Axel, and the other redhead looked all ghost-like and spirit-ish) and Seifer, who had a ghost-like and see-through white/silver-haired person with aquamarine eyes standing behind him. In the background...was Umiri looking shocked?

I didn't have time to look at the picture and really try to understand what I drew before all of Organization XII(including Roxas) burst in the room. Roxas ran over to me and grabbed my arm, helping me up. He looked at Ansem, who nodded. "Come on, Naminé, this way!"

"Huh? W-What's going on?" I asked, as Roxas shoved me in his room and he watched the rest of the Organization run away to somewhere I couldn't see.

"We suspect Seifer is going to come here and going to try to take you back." He said, opening his closet door. "We decided we're going to have to hide you." I nodded and stepped inside the closet and made sure I was as hidden as I could be. He kneeled down and placed his hands on my shoulders. "Don't come out unless I come and get you, ok? I'm sorry I have to leave you alone like this...but I'll be back."

"Promise?" I smiled. He smiled back and nodded. I think that was the first time I've ever seen him smile. My God, he has such a...gorgeous smile! Yet another thing about him that was so...perfect.

"I promise. I won't let anything hurt you. I'll protect you, Naminé. That I swear on." I reached up and kissed him on the cheek. I don't know what made me do it, but that was just the sweetest thing I have ever heard in my entire life. I once heard someone say that love is the need to unconditionally protect someone close to you, to make them happy, to make them feel like someone. He looked shocked, but closed the closet door. "I can't lose her now..." I heard him say before he left his room.

It was then that I heard the fight between Seifer and the Organization commence. He must've brought some people along with him or something, because there were a lot of screams and shouts and I could hear the sound of metal on metal or the sound of flesh getting cut open. I whimpered, hoping that Roxas was ok.

I couldn't lose him now...

HnH: Yeah, this was kind of a filler chapter...anyway, like I said before, this story could end around 30-40 chapters, but, I doubt any of you want it that long. I mean, geez, people! I haven't even gotten to the plot yet! Well, I kind of have...but, anyway! Some of you people must not like this story, eh? I was expecting everyone to say around 15-20 chapters, but you all say I should end this the next chapter or two! Geez, peeps, you all don't like this story, do you?

Roxas: -still hates Reno-It's too fluffy for me. WHY DON'T YOU MAKE A STORY BASED ON RENO AND-

Naminé: -stuffs an unidentifiable object in his mouth- Oh, be quiet, Roxas, and appreciate the fact that this story is dedicated to us!

Reno: Ahem.

Naminé: -squeal- AND RENO! I LOVE YOU RENO! YOU'RE THE BEST EVER! I'M YOUR NUMBER ONE FAN!

Reno: That's what I thought.

HnH: -cough- Anyway...I think I should've worded my question differently: What chapter would you all like this story to end, from chapters 6-40? Just pick a number from that range and I'll average out all the numbers and the number I come out with is where I'll end the story.

Sora: HnH forgot to mention the longer it is, the better.

Kairi: Does everyone see why length is so important now? You should've noticed a teensy bit by now...

HnH: -clears throat- Well, please review, stating what chapter you would like this to end at. If you don't wish to review...thanks for reading!

But seriously, people...the fate of this story is IN YOUR HANDS! You see, the shorter the story, the more I have to cut out. The longer the story, the more I can keep and add.

All except Roxas (who doesn't want to say anything simultaneously with Reno) So, please review!If not...thanks for reading!

Roxas: That 'If not...thanks for reading!' thing is going to get on everyone's nerves, HnH...
