Well, this chapter is seriously a filler. The only part really pertaining to the plot is the test, and the end of the chapter. The rest...well...let's just say this chapter's not Naminé's chapter. Really, if I have to say...the chapter that Naminé totally owns everyone...is the chapter where -

Thanks to jennyz, sorasheart281, chibi minimoto and Chukobher. You, Chukobher, read mad-fast, because that was one fast review. I went to my Stats(after 5 minutes or so) and I was like 'A review already?' I'm just not used to being HnHlicious. Everyone just loves me!

Angels in Flight: Towa no Shirube

Chapter 15: Despite it All, I Wanna Be With You Now

(Naminé's POV)

"...your brother, Utsuho. I think we should refer to him as 'Sora' from now on, and, Roxas, you will be referred to as 'Roxas' and not Sora anymore." Cid said, and I looked at Roxas. He looked a little pale. I didn't tell him this, but looking at him made my heart ache. After what the triplets said to me...and then Seifer? It was just too much... "After Princess Umiri died, I never saw Sora again. I wondered where he went..."

"I think I know why, if he did, go to Destiny Kingdom. Because I told him that I had revived all of Naminé's family when I killed them all, and I think he...Sora..." I could feel Roxas wince when he said his own name, but using it for his brother. I think it must have been painful for him to say that, "...thought he could revive her by being a Nobody like me. He told me once that he loved her, and I think when he found out she was dead pushed him over the dead...the Destiny Kingdom must have advertised that they were looking for test subjects or something..."

"I'm sorry, Roxas. It must be very painful for you..." I felt sympathetic towards him, but I promised myself I would try my hardest to latch myself onto his arm and not let go of him. I didn't want to be with Seifer...he would...he would probably torture me more than Kadaj, Loz and Yazoo could because he knew me better.

"Thank you for caring, Naminé...Now, what kind of repairs are you going to put on me?" Roxas asked, his grip tightening on me. I did feel safe, very safe, in Roxas' arms, but I was terrified of Seifer. Only because he let those three...I felt myself shake involuntarily just thinking about it. If that's what Seifer defines as love, I feel very sorry for his lover one day. If any girl would ever put up with it. Maybe that's why he's going after me. Because I, as much as I hate to admit it, am pretty weak and useless without Roxas or someone strong to give me strength or support. I was only a regular human girl with the title as Princess, after all. No strings attached.

"We were thinking reprogram-" Mom suggested, and I immediately covered Roxas' ears. I didn't want him to hear this and go berserk and kill my parents, Cid, and me again. I knew he could never revive me. Ever. Then he'd have to live in guilt, and I didn't want that. I wanted him to be as happy as he ever could be.

"No! He's not getting reprogrammed! I don't want Roxas to act any different! If you have to reprogram...then I'll hate you forever! Don't mention this again in front of him, do you want to be killed again?!?" I yelled, removing my hands from his ears and gripping his arm. He had a surprised look on his face, but I bet he wanted to know why I covered his ears. Well, I didn't want him to know. I didn't know what would set him off in berserk and he did say he could do it at any moment...I guess that was a constant fear of mine. Roxas going berserk.

"Naminé, don't yell at us! We're your parents! And if you EVER-" I never seen my father yell at me like that. I was kind of scared, and if you can call me a coward for doing this, but I buried my head into Roxas' arm and tried to block out the noise. I didn't want to hear Tidus yell at me, especially since he never had before.

"Don't make her feel threatened!" Roxas shouted back. I mentally thanked him. Even though he was getting in the way of my parents disciplining me, I still was grateful. I didn't want to see what happened next, so I just listened.

"Shut up, boy, because we can always take her away from you!" He snapped. When had my father ever been so mean? He had never been like this before! Sure, Tidus was a bit more strict than my mom...but never...cruel!

"If you take her away from me...you'll be lowering her chances of survival by 68.663 percent. Even so, she's the only girl I want to love, and if you take that away from me..." I could hear something click, "...I'm going to disable you." I looked up. Roxas was pointing a small handgun at Tidus. Of course, Cid was just standing there, looking down at the floor with his arms crossed and Yuna looked mad. I grabbed Roxas' arm and pushed his arm to the floor so he couldn't shoot Tidus' face or heart.

Just as I was about to say something, they all become cheery. Roxas and I looked at them confused for a moment, until Yuna shouted, "Congratulations, Roxas! You've passed your first pop quiz with flying colors! Good to see who you take priority to first." I took a breath of relief.

"Oh, good...you weren't really yelling at me then?" I asked, and they nodded.

"That was just to see if your systems were functioning normally. But the other tests will be harder!" Tidus said, and Yuna was about to say something when Roxas stopped them by holding out.

"Yeah, that's nice and all, but before I do anything, I need two things: Food...and I need to recharge my systems. I can only go for three weeks before I automatically recharge myself." Roxas said, flexing his hands. I could actually hear the machinery moving in his hand. I looked down at myslef. I needed to get cleaned up, too.

"Let's go over to the castle! We can clean Naminé up, get some food made by our best chef, and we'll have some people take care of you too. Cid, why don't you come? We'll invite you and Selphie!" Yuna said cheerfully, and I nodded eagerly. Cid looked flabbergasted and his face was so pale I almost mistook him for the wall.

"Q-Q-Queen Y-Yuna and K-K-King T-Tidus...I-I'm honored to b-be invited a-at Your M-Majesties' P-P-Palace!" It was so obvious Cid had never been there before. Yuna just smiled cheerfully and walked out. Tidus followed suit, then Selphie, then Roxas and I. Cid followed us. We made it to the castle as quickly as we could, no one really recognized me because I bet I looked bedraggled. I was starved, too. I hadn't eaten in five days. (Remember, I got kidnapped by the Organization and then we were unconscious for two days and then we were at Mizu no Akashi and then we were at Hell for who knows how long)

Once we arrived, my parents looked at Roxas, then at me. "Well...we have to take Naminé for a little while to clean her up. Is that okay?" My mom asked, but Roxas shook his head.

"That's when he'll attack! Why can't I just close my eyes?" He asked, and his grip loosened on me. "I'm the only one who can defeat him! He is the Darkness, I am the Light. The only thing that can penetrate darkness is light."

"That's true...well, anyway, I guess you can close your eyes as long as your not a peeping tom..." Tidus said, and cast shifty eyes on Cid, who shook his head.

"I didn't raise my son like that! He'd never look at girls if...he...um...wasn't supposed to..." Cid coughed, and I turned red.

"Well, when is he supposed to?!?"

Note to self: Never again, Naminé. Never. Again.

-

After the...embarrassing conversation, I had taken a nice, hot bath, and gotten dressed(with help from Lucille) it was Roxas' turn. Of course, I stood outside the room and when he came out I was astonished. He blinked and looked himself over as he turned a cherry red.

"Do I...look funny?" He asked. He had gotten rid of his Organization cloak(though I'm sure he still has it) and was wearing mostly white and black. Roxas looked very nice without his cloak on for a change. I shook my head and closed my gaping mouth. It was nice to see a change!

"You look great, Roxas! I'm just...surprised. I've never seen you without your cloak on before!" I smiled, then took his hand and led him to the Dining Room, which had a table for my family, then another table for any other nobles that might be joining us, then another table for the maids, then another table for anyone else. Of course, I insisted that we all sat on a table together, since there was enough room, so we did.

Tidus was at the head of the table, Yuna at his left, me on his right and next to me was Roxas who was next to Cid, and next to Yuna there was Selphie. Our waiter(well, he was kind of like a waiter, he only served us food) came out and set down individual plates in front of us.

"I hope you all like it, I didn't know what Hikari-san and Highwind-san liked to eat so I hope this is fine with you. Enjoy!" With finishing talking(in his accent), the waiter walked away. Selphie stared after him, then looked to her food, which was covered by a silver cover so no one could see.

"Who was that? He was smokin'!" Selphie said, her eyes almost bulging out of head when she said 'smokin'. I was glad she wasn't interested in my Roxas. That's right. He's mine. No one else's but mine. I took it upon myself to get the waiter's attention.

"Excuse me!" I yelled, and the waiter(who I felt ashamed that I still did not know his name) noticed me calling him and he came back. "What's your name?" I asked. He looked around nervously and placed his hand at the back of his head. Selphie looked up interestingly, wanting to know the 'hot' stranger's name.

"Irvine Kinneas, Princess..." He said, bowing slightly. I could tell he was new. Because, well...he didn't look like someone who hailed from Tsugare. He didn't sound like it, either.

"Where are you from? I love your hat!" Selphie said flirtatiously, then thought for a moment. "Hey, guys, why I don't take my food and eat with Irvine here? I'm sure we'd...distract you guys..." She took her plate, but Irvine took it for her and they both walked out of the room. Yuna, Tidus and Cid were laughing but Roxas and I obviously didn't get any joke Selphie had implied.

"Um...maybe we should eat...our food's gonna get cold!" I suggested, and the adults nodded. When Roxas and Cid took off the covers to their plates, they both looked like they were about to have a heart attack. Especially Cid.

"You don't like lobster, Roxas?" I asked, popping a piece of the shellfish in my mouth. It was one of my personal favorites and our chef made it phenomenally. He shook his head hastily and closed his gaping mouth.

"I haven't had this since Pops found out I was a machine! That was so long ago!" He said, and Cid was already finished. Then, I found out who Roxas got his eating habits from. I can say for certain, after seeing Cid practically maul the lobster with his face, that Roxas definitely did not inherit them from his mother. I could see why, as three males living in the same household...things would either A. Be messy all the time, B. One of them was actually a transvestite, C. One of them enjoyed cooking/cleaning, D. One of them was...'that way' or E. All of the above.

I, however, learned how to eat like a lady and I did so. Roxas cleaned his face after attacking the poor, poor, abused lobster, which I was grateful. He had eaten the whole thing, shell and all. "Um...you weren't supposed to eat the shell, Roxas." I said, and he shrugged.

"My sensors indicated it as edible, and I actually forgot to eat one after six or seven years. The information wasn't that important and my database got damaged after the accident." He explained. That made sense. I frowned when I started to feel a bit different. I was halfway through my dinner and I was starting to feel a little tired. I yawned.

"Did...anyone...?" I was unable to ask my question before I fell off my chair into unconsciousness. Someone must have put something in my food to knock me out, or something...

-

I was so warm. Very, very warm and I felt so safe. "Mmmmm...this is nice..."I mumbled, but I was awake, so I opened my eyes. I saw Roxas, so he was the person that was holding me tight. That explained why I was so warm. But I heard my stomach grumble, I was still hungry. Then I realized we had been sleeping together...again. Not that I minded us...being together, I seriously didn't. I saw that it was very dark and the only thing I could see was Roxas, and everything else was black.

"Hey, Roxas..." I whispered, shaking him slightly. He mumbled something inaudible and held me tighter. Now his face was closer to mine. I vaguely remembered that kissing him woke him up last time, so I figured it would work this time. I kissed him on the cheek and he did immediately wake up. In fact, he shot straight up and forgot to let go of me, so that I was still in his arms. He stared at me for a moment and I smiled weakly. I felt bad I was waking him up just because I was hungry.

"Naminé! What's the matter? Is something the matter? Did Seifer attack you?!?" He asked, then broke off his hold on me. I shook my head and yawned.

"I'm sorry to wake you up for this, but I'm kind of hungry. I never did have my full meal..." I said, then I grabbed his hand and squeezed it. "What happened when I fell unconscious? The only thing I remember is falling out of the chair and then waking up here."

"We found out that someone put something in your dinner, and when we interrogated the cook, Zell, and Irvine they both didn't know that some chemical was infused with your meal so it'd make you fall unconscious. Because I analyzed the food and found that there were some chemicals in it." Roxas said, then pulled me into a quick hug. How did he sense I was worried? "Don't worry, Naminé, the chemicals in there can also destroy my systems so we figured it was originally intended for me and not you. No one's out to get you."

"I understand..." Then, I smiled and gave him a look. "...and just how did you end up here, Roxas?" Adding emphasis to 'here' so he knew exactly what I meant. I couldn't see his face(but I knew it was him, I could tell by his voice and his hair was kind of hard to not see, and also I could see the outline of it but not the actual features) but I could tell he was embarrassed that I asked him that.

"W-Well..." He said, and I knew he was just stalling by his tone of voice. For a boy who has a machine that's not supposed to make mistakes installed inside of him, Roxas could be a lot better and his reaction time could be improved. Oh! I could tell that to Cid when he made repairs on him... "U-Um..." He started to laugh nervously and he placed a hand behind his head, "Y-You see, Naminé, i-it's a funny story a-actually..." I gave him the infamous 'I-so-know-you're-lying-and-it's-written-all-over-your-face' look. A light emitted from his hand and he placed it on his shoulder so it illuminated my face. I could see his face also, and his turned even redder when he knew I knew he was stalling.

"Y-You asked me to stay with you! You just f-forgot about it because you were, um...so tired!" He said hopelessly, wanting me to believe him. I didn't, because it was so painfully obvious.

"You're such a bad liar, Roxas." I yawned getting out of bed and noting that the bed was...really big. Probably the biggest size out there. I laughed to myself. Roxas wanted to be next to me when he could've just had the whole thing to himself. How incredibly sweet. "We're not in my palace, are we?" When he got out and was standing next to me, he made the light get brighter, so I noticed this didn't look my parents' or my room.

"No, we're in my home. Your survival rate is increased if I fight Seifer here, in the place I grew up, than in somewhere he knows better than I." Roxas took my hand and led me to the kitchen. "So, what do you feel like having, Naminé? The selection isn't that good, at least not like the variety you have in the castle."

"Well, what do you have? I can cook really well!" I said, and I could. My two talents. Drawing and cooking. I used to have a lot of time on my hands before the parade.(the incident that made me meet him again) He used one hand(since the other was grasping mine) to rummage through his cabinets. As he did, I took random ingredients out.

"That's about all we have...Pops can't really cook and U-I mean, Sora is the only one who inherited the cooking gene. That's where I fail miserably. I can't cook to save my life." Roxas shrugged. I'll make a note of that, too. I noticed that his weaknesses came out more than when I was around him than anyone else. I looked at the ingredients I had pulled out.

"Hmmm...oh! I know what I can make with this!" Most of the recipes I could make I had memorized. So I got to work and Roxas stood behind me, lightly placing a hand on my waist and watching me cook, hoping to get some insight.

"It's not going to be sugary, is it? Because it's 1:54 and I don't think I can deal with a hyper you this early." He said, and I just nodded, not really paying attention to what he said. "So, what are you making, Naminé?"

"It's a secret! But I promise you'll like them!" I didn't want him to know, though he'd probably figure it out by using his sensors. "And no cheating, since I know you'll find out half way before I actually start making them!"

"That's not fair!" He whined. I smiled and flicked flour in his face.

"Life's not fair." I stuck my tongue at him and Roxas made the darkness disappear, so it was like I was cooking in daytime. I couldn't even tell the difference.

"Well, then, Miss Princess, how about this?" He said, and reached into the bag of flour, grabbed a handful and threw it at me. "What do you think of that?"

"I think that if you want to fight, then bring it! I am the Queen of Food Fights!" I replied, using my 'Queenly' voice(that mom had taught to me) and then taking the spoon that had the batter I had made(I was going to make cookies, but I decided not to) and flung it at him.

"Is that so?" He asked, wiping the cookie dough off his face. "Well, if you're the Queen, I'm the King!" Roxas took an egg and cracked it over my head. I growled, but I was just kidding around. I wasn't really mad at him. I'm sure he knew that, too.

"What if I don't what to get married to you?" I asked, raising my voice slightly and taking the whole bowl of batter and placing it on his head. I couldn't hold it in any longer. Roxas just looked so hilarious with flour and cookie dough all over his face, and the bowl on his head with the batter dripping down just complimented it. I burst out into laughter. I was the only one laughing until he managed to find a mirror and look at himself. He joined me with laughing. After we both were done with laughing, Cid just happened to stroll in for an early-morning snack. (Coincidence? I don't think so!)

"What are you kids doing in here?" He asked, then noticed Roxas with his bowl-head and me with the cracked egg on my head. "And just what are you doing?" I bet Cid knew Roxas had a hard time lying, but as for me, I was a lot better.(than Roxas, that's for sure)

"I was cooking because I was hungry, and then I slipped and fell. Of course, Roxas caught me but he accidentally made the bowl fall off the counter and it landed on top of his head. The vibration of that made an egg roll off the counter and crack on my head, and when he helped me up he accidentally held onto the bag of flour and he slipped and the flour came with us. We placed it back on the counter, though." I said smoothly, and Roxas looked at me, amazed that I could pull that off. I tried to be discreet when I elbowed him, telling him to quit giving me that look and to start acting like what I said was true.

"U-Uh...y-yeah..." He laughed nervously and I mentally slapped myself. Roxas couldn't lie to save his life! "I'm such a klutz..." Cid raised an eyebrow, then yawned.

"Get to sleep, kiddies." Then he just waved us off into the room we had been in before. I took the eggshells off my head and giggled when I took the bowl off of Roxas' head.

"How am I going to go to sleep with food in my face?" He asked, and I shrugged, running my hands through my hair and cringing when I felt the egg yolk.

"Well, I guess I'm going to have to wait to eat." I said, yawned, and took Roxas' hand. "Don't leave me, okay? I don't want Seifer to get me..." I couldn't help but shudder when I thought of what he said back in Hell. Roxas was about to say something, but Kairi appeared! "Kairi! What are you doing here?!?" I asked, but kept my voice down in fear of Cid overhearing us. Roxas made it brighter so we could see her better. She was wearing a pink outfit with purple shoes and a black hood. Nice combo.

"Oh, Naminé, it's terrible! S-Sora...Sora came back and-" then, Kairi noticed Roxas and pointed at him and glared menacingly, "Y-You! You're the one that made Sora into that terrible piece of metal! I will never, ever forgive you for what you've done!" Roxas and I exchanged glances.

"Something happened to my brother? What happened?" He asked, and Kairi looked livid. Umiri had never really gotten angry before in her life, so when Kairi got mad, I was kind of scared.

"Yes, something happened to your brother! He's like you, now! His personality has been altered and Sora didn't even recognize me! It's all your fault because Sora personally told me that you told him that being made into a weapon would enable him to revive Umiri, but now that I have her body..." Kairi then broke down. "Just when I thought...just when I thought we could be together again...it was all taken away from me..."

"Kairi...I'm sorry this had to happen to you..." I said, with empathy. I knew how it felt when you learned that your love was some twisted government weapon. I kneeled down beside her and placed a hand on her shoulder. "It'll be okay..." She shook her head.

"No...it won't...because in four weeks..." Kairi took a deep breath and wiped away her tears. "Your boyfriend and mine will fight each other. I don't know what happened to him, but Sora wants to destroy Roxas, claiming he's just a copy until he kills the original."

"He definitely got his personality altered. Don't worry, Kairi, I'll get him back to his old goofy self. It's a promise between me and you, alright?" Roxas said, holding out his hand to her. I smiled and mouthed 'Thank you' to him. She looked up and grabbed his hand and shook it.

"Fine...I just really want Sora to go back to normal. I know he's not the same Sora as I had known, but he looks just like him...with the same name, too! I'm sure they both would've acted the same, too...but his personality..." Kairi stood up(with some help from me) and looked up at the ceiling. Then, her eyes widened. "Oh! You know what I just realized! He may be acting that way because he doesn't have his wings back, like you, Roxas! We need to find the keyblades holding his wings AND his soul!"

"That's right...just because I got my soul taken away from Hades doesn't mean Sora got the same done to him. He probably didn't have any machinery installed in them when the keyblades scattered! Even if he did, his systems were probably offline." Roxas stated, and Kairi nodded. "Well, I know where my wings are...but I don't where his are."

"Maybe we should ask Cid." I suggested, shrugging. Roxas nodded and he walked out of the room, me holding his hand and Kairi following us.

"Pops'll get mad that we're waking him up this early, but I don't care." He said and knocked on a door that obviously led to his father's room. Cid opened the door, looking really tired and sleepy.

"Whaddaya want...Rox?" He yawned. Roxas placed his hands on his father's shoulders and shook him until he was awake. "Alright, alright...I'm awake..." Cid yelled, looking a little startled.

"Where are my wings? We need Sora to get his soul back and I think that since we're twins and connected, our wings will be near each other." Roxas explained, and Cid just looked at him, taking a moment to let this sink in.

"Fine. I'll let you know where one is, but it's still too dangerous for you to get all of them." Cid agreed, then seemed to think for a moment. "Where the Hikari family lives...there should be a keyblade there. The Oblivion. It most likely went back to it's home when it was scattered."

"Sora and Roxas aren't the only Hikaris? There's more?" I asked, feeling kind of stupid. Roxas nodded.

"But I don't feel we should go at 2 in the morning when everyone's still sleeping. They'll think we're burglars and won't recognize me in night. After all, I've only been there about twice." Roxas said, and that made sense. It would be better to go in the morning or in the daylight, and I doubt he could made the whole capital bright but I wouldn't even ask him anyway.

"I'm still really tired, anyway..." I yawned, and Kairi looked at us.

"Well, yeah, maybe you guys can sleep together and all, but I don't want to join in on the fun!" She said, and Cid started to laugh as our faces both turned scarlet. After that moment(which seemed to be interminable) Cid finally managed to calm down.

"Pops, maybe we could let her use Ut - I mean, Sora's old room? At least until their parents come back here. But we'll have a lot of explaining to do..." Roxas suggested, and Cid nodded.

"Fine, fine, whatever..." Then he sent us, especially Roxas, a shifty look. "Don't try to have any fun, alright? I'm not ready for grandkids yet."

Needless to say, I had a very hard time to get to sleep that night.

-

This time when I woke up, I had no warmth. When I opened my eyes, it was daylight, and there was no Roxas next to me. Did Seifer...? I shot up immediately and I realized I had been sleeping on a couple of chairs lined up next to each other. When I got up, I saw my parents, Cid, Selphie, Irvine, and Kairi facing towards some controls and a window.

"What's going on?" I asked, walking towards Kairi. The room that we were in had gray and blue tiles, and then some controls lining one side of it and then a clear window above them, where we were all currently standing. I didn't see Roxas...well, at least, not yet.

"Shhh...look!" Kairi whispered, pointing to the window. I then looked out the window. Below us(we were obviously on a high level somewhere) was a very, very spacious white room. Of course, it wasn't so spacious since there was this giant robotic crab-thing fighting against Roxas, who, like Cid had said before...had his shirt off. And he was hot, too!

"Hiya, Naminé!" Selphie bounced up next to me. "This is Roxie-kun's first test to see how his reaction timing is, and if there's any other bugs we need to fix. Cid said that he wanted to repair all of Roxas' flaws at the same time. If you know anything that's wrong with Roxas, talk to Irvine. He's writing down everything that he sees is wrong." She giggled. "Irvine is a great mechanic and you wouldn't believe how funny he is!"

I looked at Irvine, who was busy scribbling down some notes and he glanced up periodically at the window to see how the fight was progressing. "Wait!" I shouted, looking at all of them, "What if Roxas gets really hurt and he's about to die? Will you be able to stop that...thing?" I asked.

"We should. If not, we can manually control it. We put the robotic crab that he's fighting on autopilot." Cid said, then tapped the glass so it made a loud noise. No, scratch that...he more like pounded on the glass. Roxas heard the noise and looked up. Everyone pointed to me and I blinked. I saw Roxas shout my name(but I couldn't hear what he was saying) and it looked like he was about to say something else but the Robot-Crab's claw impaled Roxas' shoulder.

"Roxas can't be that flawed..." I said, then remembered our conversation that we had with Cid from yesterday. "What about retrieving the keyblades? Isn't that more important? He's only fighting with one out there!"

"We wanted to see how he could fight with just one keyblade. Then, Cid's going to fix him so that he can sense all the keyblades and tell where they are, then go out and find his and his brother's." My mom explained, and I nodded. "Then, once he has all six, Cid's going to see if there's any humanly way possible to make it so that Roxas can summon all six of his wings without killing himself."

"Do you really think you can do something such as that? That would defy all laws of Heaven and Nature...and, and...I think it would just break all of the rules and I don't want Roxas to get into trouble!" I said, and they all chuckled.

"Don't worry, Naminé, Roxas can handle himself. See? He's faring just fine against this Robot-Crab. He has some scratches or too, but nothing a little repairing can't fix!" Cid said, but I still worried about Roxas sometimes. Almost everything supernatural wanted him dead yet he still stayed alive. I wondered why he was being punished for something he couldn't help. Why didn't they punish the people who made him like this instead? Well, I was pondering to myself until I noticed something out of the corner of my eye.

"Roxas does NOT have a tattoo on his shoulder!" I yelled, and they all stared at me for a moment. Couldn't they see it?!? It was HUGE! (Well, it wasn't really that big) "Don't you see it?!? those black lines on his right shoulder! Doesn't he know getting a tattoo is bad for your body?"

"That's not a tattoo..." Cid said, shaking his head. "It's his barcode..."

"Barcode?" I asked, placing my hands on the part of the controls that had no buttons. "You mean...as in the stuff you buy from markets that have those little lines and stuff and you scan to see the price?" When I heard myself, I was disgusted. "You can actually buy Roxas?"

"No, no, no...that's just an identification code in case there's duplicates of him. Or if he gets lost, we have a special control panel that if we type in his serial number and the code on the barcode, we can find his exact location as long as it is in the Destiny, Tsugare, or Byakuya Kingdoms." Yuna said, and I didn't say anything. I felt so bad for him, having a barcode and a dogtag and just...everything. But at the same time, I was secretly glad he was a weapon. If this had all happened and Roxas was just angel, I'm not too sure if I'd be standing here without a maimed arm or leg. But then again, I'm not sure I'd even ben standing here in the first place. I probably would have never met him if he hadn't gotten genetically engineered, and for that, I admit I was grateful for the chance to even know him.

And then, Roxas finally defeated the Robot-Crab with a swing of his newly acquired Ultima. He was panting and I kinda wanted to reprimand myself because I could only look at his gorgeous body and not care about his well-being.

"So, Naminé... what did you think of his performance? Told you all he wasn't a pansy. Both my sons can hold their own..." Cid asked me with a hint of pride in his voice. I sighed dreamily and wasn't really paying attention to his question. In fact, it wasn't until Selphie told me later what he had asked me when I knew.

"Your son's so hot..." I said absent-mindedly, not really thinking about what I was saying. I didn't even know I was saying that fact(well, in my mind) out loud. I thought I was thinking it...but boy was I wrong.

"E-Excuse me, Your Highness? Did you just use that adjective to describe my son?!?" Cid said, and I looked at them. Irvine's notebook had dropped, Selphie's jaw nearly touched the floor, Cid looked like he was about to have a heart attack, Yuna looked as white as a ghost, and Tidus was fanning my mom with concern. Kairi just stared at me with her mouth slightly agape.

"...What's wrong?" I asked, still not knowing that I had said my thoughts out loud. Selphie leaned in and whispered,

"You called the Roxas the 'h' word!"

"So, what's the big deal?" I asked, shrugging. Alright, I called Roxas hot. "Okay, if that's too much for you, he's cute. Happy now?" I crossed my arms, but they all shook their heads and their eyes got wide like saucers. "What is it guys?!? Is it wrong to call him hot?"

"N-N-Naminé..." Selphie stuttered, staggering a step back and her mouth fell open again.

"You people are dramatizing too much! Just because I called him hot-"

"Called who hot?" I almost screamed because I was not expecting him to lean down and place an arm on my shoulder. Thank the High Lord he did not hear our whole conversation, but you never know. I bet he had great sense of hearing anyway. He just seemed to show up at the worst of times. I wished his sense of timing was better.

"Roxas." I said calmly, looking at him, and I couldn't help but let my eyes kind of wander...

"We'll be looking over the results of your test, so we don't have what you got yet. In the meantime, put a shirt on." Yuna said, throwing his shirt at him and he slipped it on.

"Yeah, we could've sworn wedding bells were ringing inside the Princess' head!" Selphie said, linking arms with Irvine and skipping out of the room. For the seemingly umpteenth time that day, I blushed.

"I have an idea. Why don't you two go to the Hikari household and get the Oblivion back while we're assessing Roxas' test results?" Cid suggested then shoved us out of the room. It was a room in my palace, and I was surprised that I have never been here before. Well, the sixth floor was always off limits...

Once we got outside, Roxas motioned for me to follow me. I held his hand and let him lead. We made sure we were walking incognito so no one would come up to me and hug me or anything. We reached(finally) a giant mansion. It had a gate and everything with it. He took out the Ultima and held it in front of the lock on the gate. A blue light emitted from the tip of his blade to the lock, and it shined, then the lock disappeared completely.

He opened the gate and walked inside. We were in a lovely garden with tons of colorful flowers, Heavenly Blue Morning Glories being the most abundant. It was a very bright and sunshine-filled place, it looked like life and light was bountiful with every step you could take. The first thing Roxas did was smile and whisper,

"I'm home."

Well, you guys know the drill. One review, then I'll post next chapter.(which I'm half-way done with! You guys are catching up! AH!)
Let's see...hmmm...

For confused people! Here are the events that are important(everything else either goes with the sequel((if there is one)) or is just stuff to juice up the story)

-Roxas being a machine.

-Roxas being a half-angel.

-Roxas inheriting all six wings from his mom.(This story is all about him. xD)

-The Keyblades getting scattered. (THAT is REALLY important)

-All the angels' wings/souls are in the scattered keyblades.

-Seifer having dark powers, while Roxas controls the light.

-Nami-hime loves our dear little Roxie-poxie while he can't feel for her.

That's about it, really. Nothing else is that important to this story...

But the next...
