Namine was sat sheltering under a large tree, from the heavy downpour of rain which had started just like that not long ago. Occasionally wondering if Roxas and Axel were alright, she was sat with her knees pulled up and sketch pad resting against them as she drew. Namine knew she should really be out looking for those people, but truthfully she didn't want to be getting soaked. This organization cloak was heavy enough, let alone it being drenched with rainwater. Wiping a raindrop off her cheek she carried on with her sketch. The drawing brought a slight blush to her cheeks whenever she properly thought about what she was actually sketching. It was of Roxas and herself. She'd almost finished it, with just more spikes to add to Roxas' hair and their arms left. Xemnas had said to draw whatever was in her head, and strangely this was the only image occupying her mind. She finished after drawing their hands laced together, unable to help but smile at the picture she had formed. Suddenly Namine's surroundings seemed to blur and distort into a wavy mass. It was like when you have a painting, and someone runs a wet paintbrush over the paint making the colours run. Namine clambered to her feet, finding her knees shaking. She shut her sketch book, but as soon as she did so the wavering stopped. Everywhere trurned back to normal, as though it hadn't happened. Rain was still falling, sky was grey, everything was soaking wet...Namine found herself panting. With fear? Or was it something else. Her head had started to ache, so maybe it was just tiredness that had caused everything to spin like that. Namine tucked her sketch pad inside her organization cloak and pulled the black hood up over her blonde locks. Moving out from under the shelter she had been in, Namine began running. She didn't want to use those to portals of darkness to travel right now. The way they made you feel sick when you came out at the other end woud not have helped in any means to Namine's situation. So she was using her shaky legs to travel, water splashing up them and soaking into her boots. She didn't even know where she was going, but staying back there wasn't a good option.

Axel skidded back across the soaking wet grass. Mud and water sprayed up his orgainization cloak and across his face. His spiky red hair was now flat, in fact every single part of him was drenched. This was not good on the pyro's account. Being this wet meant he couldn't summon his element fire, and was in no form to fight as well as he usually did. Sora, Kairi and Riku stood facing him, also dripping wet, the rain splashing off their keyblades. Axel stared at them, before reluctantly standing up straight and making his chakrams vanish. He could come back and get them with Roxas, that way they wouldn't stand a chance against another keyblader.

"I'll let you go...for now," he spoke, his voice slightly shaky

This rain really wasn't helping him...

"Don't bother coming back!" cried Kairi as Axel dissapered through another dark portal

"Who was that?" questioned Sora as his keyblade dissapered from his hand

"Organization XIII..." said Riku

"What's that?" Kairi peered at her friend through her damp fringe

"A group of nobodies."

Sora scratched the back of his head "How do you know so much?"

Riku didn't answer, only staring out into the rain as if seeking answers to actually why he did know so much.

"Come on," started Kairi "Lets just get going and find a spot to camp. If that guy comes back we'll make sure he leaves again."

The other two nodded and gathered up their belongings before starting out into the rain.

Roxas stopped walking when a portal of darkness burst up in front of him. His blue eyes peered out from under his hood at a pretty drowned Axel. The red head was not looking amused and probably would have been able to rip off someone's head right now.

"Did you find them?" asked Roxas

Axel nodded, raindrops trickling down his face "I...need your help though."

Axel never asked for help.

"Why? You get beaten up?" Roxas laughed until the pyro's death stares caused him to stop.

"Come on, we need to go now before we lose them."

"What about Namine, we need to go find her first."

Roxas knew if he mentioned the girl's name in a 'caring' sentance, Axel would not be happy.

"Roxas what did I tell you?" he cried wipping back round to face him "Stop caring about her so much! She's perfectly capable on her own, why do you think she's in the organization? You think Xemnas would employ wimps?"

"What happened when it came to Demyx then?"

Axel sighed angrily "Come on, we'll go get her when we've got these kids..."

Roxas paused, not looking up at Axel.

"You go, I'm going to go find Namine..."

Roxas couldn't tell if the look on Axel's face was hurtful, angry or just plain shocked.

"What? Roxas did you not hear me when I said I needed your help on getting these punks?"

"Then come help me find Namine. If you want my help you'll have to come with me first," Roxas was adamant on what he was going to do, Axel was going to have to face that.

"So...you care about her more than me..."

Was Axel...jealous?

"That's not true! You're my friend, she's my friend-"

"Whatever!" yelled Axel completly out of character "You've replaced me with her!"

What was up with him? Axel wasn't acting himself, was it the rain? Axel strode over to Roxas and grabbed his shoulders.

"Have you forgot Roxas? Have you forgot we were best friends?" he cried while shaking Roxas' shoulders

Roxas pushed him off roughly "What is up with you Axel? You were fine earlier but now-"

Then Roxas realised what Axel had last said.

"Wh...what do you mean 'were' best friends?" he stammered, his eyes almost brimmed with tears.

Axel stared at him blankly "I don't always wanna be second best Roxas," he said more calmly "With you...I always felt like I belonged, you know. You made me feel different, I felt like I had a heart for once. But now...now you got Namine."

"Axel...you're just been selfish," Roxas said gentley "I like both you and Namine, you can have more than one friend you know. You're not been replaced."

Axel only shrugged "Maybe...but I guess I just don't wanna see you with someone else. Guess I wanted you all to myself...Yeah, I'm jealous..."

Surely Axel didn't...fancy Roxas...

"Axel-"

The red head paused him by holding up his hand "No I don't fancy you Roxas. It's called loyalty, friend loyalty. You can have two guys been close and not been anything more than just best friends," he explained

Roxas hung his head, feeling guilty for even thinking his friend fancied him in the slightest.

"That's just how I felt. I loved you as a friend, and that's why I got jealous when Namine came along."

"We can still be friends Axel."

Axel shook his head "I'm taking my bat home, I'm gunna be a selfish prat for once-"

Roxas clenched his fists together "Why Axel? Do you not care how I feel? I don't wanna lose a friend just because I'm friends with someone else!"

Axel stared at him for a moment, before flicking his wrist and forming a portal. How could this be happening? It had all come so quickly, and what was with Axel? He would never ever have acted like this. Throwing away a friendship because he was jealous of Roxas having another friend...There had to be something else. Roxas watched the red head dissapear through the portal and out of sight. He hadn't even said goodbye...

Roxas began walking again, his footsteps slow and numb, he didn't know where he was going but he didn't seem to care right now. Axel...He'd been his friend since he joined the organization. They'd always been told they seemed to have an unbreakable bond. Well, it was Demyx who said that, and half the time he didn't even know what he was talking about. Yet Roxas had to agree with him. Axel had been like a big brother Roxas never had. The blonde teen stopped and suddenly flumped down onto the floor. A choked sob escaped his lips as dirty water splashed over his face. Axel had gathered a different personality and Roxas could now have feelings...What was the reason for this? Was it to do with Namine? Axel had told him about the girl's power, had she somehow...interfered with them? That couldn't be right though, she controlled memories, not hearts. Roxas sobbed again, feeling alone sat there in the middle of nowhere. He didn't even look up when footsteps approached him from behind. Not looking, not even knowing who they were, the person dropped down next to him and wrapped their arms round his shoulders. Roxas absentmindedly also wound his arms round the person's waist. Holding them close, as if they were all he had to go by now. He opened his tear smudged eyes, catching a glimpse of a wet peice of blonde hair blowing past his face. Namine?

"Namine..."

The girl brought her face in front of his. Her cheeks were wet, light blonde hair clamped to her face and neck. She was smiling though, smiling like she did every time they were around each other. Namine had found him, like a lost little boy, she'd come. Namine traced her fingers lightly across Roxas' jaw. She then leant in to him, her cheek brushing past his as she hugged him tightly, making him realise he wasn't going to be alone. Namine would always be there for him, even if Axel wasn't.

Author's note: I seriously wanted to make Roxas and Namine kiss then, but they didn't -grins- .I was listening to kelly clarkson's 'sober' when writing this so I guess that's where the whole sad/romantic theme came from. Music really does help you write lol. So if you liked this chappy,please hit that review button down there an let me know. I will very much love you for it and you can even have a cookie!yey!
