Surprise, I'm back! After, almost 8 months of waiting Chapter 5 is here, sorry about the long wait. I have an explanation for why this took awhile at the end of this chapter. I'm keeping this note short and will continue on at the end but wanted to say that it's been 1 year since I started this story! Pretty awesome! Anyways, I'll see you in a bit. Enjoy!

Review Response:

Eifreiht: Yeah! This story is basically a cover to Horimiya!(To those wondering, I stated this in my previous chapter, but this story is based on Horimya a manga that I love so go check it!"

Passerby: Hopefully, I made some improvements compared to my previous chapter with the advice you gave! This was my first story at the time so I was still new at the time but I hope there are improvements now. Also, glad to hear that! When I re-reading the manga the story was based on I was like 'oh this would be cool to have kingdom hearts character as these character.' So, I gave it a shot and used Rokunami because I felt like it there was some matches with Roxas and Miyamura and etc.

Legend:

Characters won't act the same as they would in the game and some characters may be different age for example, Xion.

Namine and Roxas were both holding plastic and paper bags as, they had just finished getting grocery and were now on their way home to make dinner.

"Thanks Roxas! You're a total lifesaver! Xion been eating a lot lately, so shopping has gotten more heavy than before…" Namine said as she looks at the shops and stands near them.

"That's a growing girl for you!" Roxas chuckled.

Namine laughed as well. "I guess that's true….Hm?" Namine stopped in place as she stared at something.

Roxas quickly noticed Namine wasn't by his side and saw her standing in place. "Something wrong, Namine?" He says as he walks up to her. He then looked in the direction she was staring at and saw a poster of woman advertising for cosmetics.

"That idol is everywhere lately." Namine said.

"You're not wrong. She's been on TV a lot recently. Though I have to say I'm not that into girls with short hair...maybe it's because mine's on the long side?"

Namine turned her attention to Roxas. "So you'd be embarrassed if you were with a girl with shorter hair than yours because you have longer hair? Why don't you just cut it?"

"No, that's not it really, but it just wouldn't feel natural, I guess? But I'm not getting that feeling at all right now." Roxas smiled. "Besides, you're the only one I walk around with."

"Hmm…" Namine looked at Roxas for a bit and decided to play with him. "Maybe I'll cut my hair then."

"SAY WHAT?!" Roxas shouted with a worried look on his face.

In the background there was familiar red haired girl looking at the pair.

"Huh…? That was Namine. I haven't seen her out of her uniform in aaages. Namine and...who's that?" Kairi questioned as she stared at the boy she 'never' seen before.

Roxas and Namine had just arrived in front of Namine's house. Namine unlocked the door and turned to Roxas.

"Are you going to stay over for today?" She asked.

"Not today sorry. I have to get home early today." Roxas said as he handed her the bags he was carrying.

Namine had a somewhat disappointed look as she grabbed the bag from him. "Oh okay. Do you have something to do?"

"Yeah, I have to help my parents with a few things. I'll see you next time. Bye!" Roxas waved off and started to walk away.

Namine waved back and closed the door. "Roxas could've at least had dinner first. He did help me out after all. It's the least I can do for him today…"

"I'm hooome!" She called out.

Namine was expecting to hear Xion. "Welcome baaack!"

"...Huh?" Namine was confused as it wasn't Xion she heard. "Mom!?" (A/n: Namine's mother is Lunafreya just wanted to make things clear.)

"Yup, in the flesh!" Luna replied.

"But you're never home on the holidays! This is rare..."

"Ohh? It's someone from Namine's class?" Luna asked as Xion was talking about how Roxas has been spending time with them. While Namine is massaging her mother's shoulders.

"Uh-huh! He comes over and play with me all the time!" Xion said excitedly.

"Myyy! Now isn't that wonderful? I'm happy for you Xion." Luna turned back to look at Namine with a smirk. "So it's a boy?"

"Huh? Oh yeah…" The question caught Namine off guard.

"Oooh! You clever little sneak, Namine! Way to go!" Luna chuckled.

"She's way into this!..."

"What's he like? Is he handsome?" Being curious about the boy, who has been spending a lot of time with her daughters.

Namine was tapping her chin as she was pondering on how to describe Roxas. She then gave a harsh description. "He's kinda...this dark, shadowy figure, like those criminals that show up in those detective stories."

Luna began to picture a boy of Namine's age, who's holding a bloody knife with a shadow covering his face except for a grin as he mutters 'Aww yeah, I did it, all right!'. Luna giggled at the description. "Ohh? A mister criminal then? I'd love to meet him for a one on one talk. Just once!" Luna says with a broad smile.

Namine had just finished giving her mother a massage. "There all done! And what exactly are you planning to discuss with him in private?!" Namine blurted out, worried what she'll ask Roxas.

"Ahhh, that was great! Thank yooou!" Luna said as she laid down on the couch relaxed.̦

"Hey, you're making dinner tonight, right, mom?" Namine asked.

Luna sat up. "You bet! I'm gonna make curry!"

"...From a packet, I bet…" Namine thought, looking at her mother until her mother turned to look at her.

"I almost forgot to ask. What's his name, by the way?"

"Hm?" Namine was a bit confused.

"Mister criminal. What's his name?" She clarified.

"Oh. His name is Roxas…"

"Roxas. Hm, what a nice name, and his last name?" Luna asked.

"His last name? It's….uh…." Namine paused and within a few seconds she seemed to be panicking. "WHAT'S HIS LAST NAME?!" She mentally yelled.

"What's wrong dear?" Luna noticed her daughter's reaction.

"I...I don't know his last name…." She said looking down in shame.

"Huh?! You don't know his last name even though you've been spending time with him for awhile?"

Namine just groaned as she was frustrated now.

Xion ignored the situation. "Mommy, don't put in carrots in the curry! It's disgusting!" She said as she crossed her arms.

"Don't be picky young lady!" Luna opposing Xion's pickiness.

The Next Day

Namine was at school leaning on the teacher's desk as the class was on break. "This is not good. Roxas has been coming over for practically ages now and I never knew his last name! How could I not know his first name…? I can't even look at the attendance roster because the teacher always take it with them every time..."

As Namine was lost in her thoughts, Roxas, Sora, and Kairi were grouped up. They were glancing at Namine.

"Namine looks stressed out, doesn't she?" Roxas said.

"Yeah, she's been like this since the morning." Kairi replied.

"I wonder what's going on with her?"

Back with Namine as she tries to come up a plan to find out Roxas last name.

"Maybe it's better if I ask him directly." She thought as she begins to imagine the scenario. "Heyyy, Roxas! You got a last name or what?" She said smiling.

"NO WAY!" Namine shook her head to remove the embarrassing scenario out of her head. Her thought broke as she heard Sora.

"Hey Roxas! Gym's next! Let's hit the locker room quick!" Sora said as he grabbed his bag.

"Oh, sure."

Namine then thought of something as the boys left the room.

In the Boy's Locker Room

"Hey Roxas, do you have an idea of what're we doing in gym next." Pence asked.

"Umm...a marathon, I think…" Roxas unsure of his answer.

"Ugh! For real?!"

Neku being next to them was changing until he heard the door creaked turning his attention to it. He froze from what he was doing to process what he is seeing. It was Namine peeking in the boys locker room giving them a glare.

"Tch! Would one of you call him by his last name already..!? There's twenty of you in this room and you're all useless!" She thought as she was too focus on trying to hear Roxas' last name being called.

Neku finally let out a cry. "AHH! NAMINE IS PEEPING!"

"GYAAH! ARE YOU SERIOUS!?" Tidus shouted.

As the boys continue to panic, Namine was then pulled away by Kairi and Shiki.

"Umm...Namine are you….um, frustrated?" Kairi asked.

"Yeah." Namine replied as she walked with the girls.

"Eeh!?" both girl cried out.

Namine then went back to thinking. "If that didn't work...then…"

Science Lab Room

"This is sudden. What do you need Namine…?"

"If I ask our homeroom teacher, she should be able to tell me." Namine planned. "Well, actually… I was wondering if you could help me with something Ms. Ava." Namine asked as she was playing with her hair.

"T-tell me it isn't bullying is it?! Is it bullying?! GYAHH." Ava started to panic, putting both hands on her head.

Namine correct her teacher on the situation. "No, that's not it! It's um…about Roxas from our class…"

"ROXAS!? THE GLOOMY KID RIGHT?! THE BOY WHO CAN'T DO MATH RIGHT?! IS HE CAUSING TROUBLE?! IS HE, NAMINE?!" Ava assumed as she is still panicking.

Namine tried again to correct her teacher on the misunderstanding. "Yes, that's him and no, er….! This is really hard for me to say, but, you see...I...his-" Before Namine could finish Ava cut her off.

"HIS...HIS BABY?! ARE YOU PREGNANT WITH IS CHILD…!? This is going to be a huge problem…." Ava said with sweat dropping on her face.

Namine deadpanned her teacher. "No ma'am I am not. Would you hear me out?!"

Ava didn't hear a single word from her student as she kept mumbling to herself and hyperventilating. "This teacher's hopeless." Namine said getting up from her seat and leaving the room.

Outside the Lab Room

Namine let out a sigh still trying to figure a way to find out what Roxas' last name is as she went through a lot trying to do so. "I never thought finding out a single name can be this exhausting…" She then looked out to see Sora walking in the hall near her.

Sora then noticed her as he got closeby. "Namine? Are you heading home already?" he asked.

Namine's eyes glittered in hope to find her answer from Sora. "Oh Sora..! Great timing. I wanted to ask you something about Rox…"

As she almost said Roxas' name, Sora already knew who she was going to talk about, he felt his dream getting crushed again, so he started running away with a single tear dropping as he shouted. "My heart is currently broken!"(If you forgot she rejected him when he asked her out last chapter :) just a reminder.)

"Hey..!" Namine reached out her to try and grab Sora's arm but he was long gone. "USELESS!" She yelled. "Okay, think Namine. What else is there….Oh, the test results!" She then made her way to a bulletin board.

When she got there she began skimming through the results trying to find his name. Sadly, his name wasn't on any of the list. "If only he was smart…" She looked down in disappointment.

"Is somethin' on your mind?!" a voice caught her attention.

Once, Namine turned around she saw Kairi smiling at her. "Kairi…"

"Hiya." Kairi replied with a wave. "So what's been bothering you?"

"I was wondering if you knew everyone's full name in our classroom?"

"Is that what's been bothering…? Everyone's full name in our class. You bet I got everyone's details! We've all been together for ages!" Kairi and Namine laughed together at the last comment.

"Does she seriously know everyone's? Well it's worth a shot." Namine unsure if she's joking or not. "Y-yeah, of course…! U-umm, listen Kairi… the truth is, I…"

Before she could finish, Kairi spoke up. "By the way… I saw you walking with a guy a little while back, Namine." Namine flinched after hearing what her best friend said.

"Huh…?" Namine still shocked. "Oh no she saw us together…!"

"You were walking away, so I didn't see his face but...was that your boyfriend?" Kairi asked.

"N-no! He's my older cousin!" Namine quickly answered, trying to cover for Roxas and her.

"Oooh? Your cousin, huuh? You're sooo luckyyy" Kairi said looking out the window with a smile.

"Yeah…" Namine responded then started to mentally yell at herself. "Now I've done iiit! This topic is too risky… I'd better get out now." Namine slowly shuffled herself away from Kairi.

Kairi then remember something and started to dig through her bag. "Oh yeah, that notebook I borrowed before… I forgot to give it ba…" Kairi paused when she looked up to see her friend dashing away. "Namine! Your noootes!" Kairi yelled but Namine continued running.

Namine was gloomy after the many thing she went through to try and find out Roxas' last name. "I can't believe Kairi spotted us… and on top of that, I never got to ask her what Roxas' last name... What am I doing…?" She sighed.

"Namine, dear!" Luna called. "You've just been poking, it with your spoon. Are you saying you can't eat the curry I made for dinner? Honestly!"

"We've had this three days in a row." Namine stated.

"Hey, so since tomorrow's a day off. Will he be coming over, 'Roxas'?" Luna asked.

"Huh? Ohh...I'm not sure. Most likely?" Namine answered.

"Whaaat?! Really?! What do I do?! I'm so excited!" Luna began blushing.

"It's not like he's coming to see you, mom." Namine said as she stared blankly at her mother excitement. "Although, maybe he'll tell mom his name. Yeah! I'll just hear it then!"

Next day

Roxas made his way to Namine's house. He rang the doorbell and as he waited the door opened, but was surprised to see someone he had never met. For a moment he almost thought the woman in front of him as Namine but knew it wasn't her. He wasn't sure if he was at the right house, that was until he saw Xion next to the person.

"Helloooo! I've been waiting for you!" Luna smiled. " Please! Come in. Come in!"

"Roxas!" Xion said excitedly.

"Pardon the intrusion...Namine's mom…! Oh, these are for you…cakes, my father makes them at home." Roxas said handing Luna the box.

Luna accepted Roxas' cake. "Myy! A bakery!"

"Isn't Namine suppose to be here….? Geez, her mom's young!" Roxas thought.

"Oh, I'm so sorryyy! Namine's just gone out shopping. She's told me all sorts of thing about you!" Luna smiled.

"Sh-she?" Roxas was still surprise to be meeting Namine's mom. "So young…."

Roxas then forgot to introduce himself to Namine's mom. "Ah...sorry, I haven't introduced myself. I'm Roxas Strife."

"Roxas Strife?" Luna repeated.

"Yes." Roxas clarified.

"Myyy! What a cute name!" Luna said giving Roxas another smile. "There's a lot I'd like to talk about with you..but I'm afraid I have to go back to work now…"

"Oh no, it's fine. I wasn't planning to stay long either…" Roxas waved his hand trying not to impose on staying.

"Roxas, you're going to say? Don't gooo!" Xion begged.

"Oh, don't say that Roxas!" Luna said before turning to face him. "Just hang out here until Namine get back." She gave a appreciative smile. "Thank you so much...for everything really."

Roxas was stunned after hearing Luna's words. "...Not at all." Was all he could say.

30 minutes later

"Well? Where's my mom?" Namine asked as she heard Roxas and her mom talked before got back home.

"Like I said, she went back to work…" Roxas replied. "Xion which cake do you want?"

"Strawberry!" Xion shouted.

Namine was in deep thoughts. "That woman…! So when she said, 'I'd love to talk to him one on one just once!,' She actually meant it! Was that why she told me to go shopping…!?"

"You know, it's been awhile since someone called me by my full name like around elementary school!" Roxas laughed but he didn't see Namine flinched and stared at him.

"She know?!" Namine thought. "Huh…? What did she say?"

"My full name, I just said that…."

"Not that…"

"What then…" Roxas asked, tilting his head to the side.

Namine mentally facepalmed. "Geez…You can never understand what I mean sometimes..."

"You've been acting kinda funny lately, Namine."

Namine jolted from her seat. "Wh-what do you mean?!"

"You know...peeping in the guys' locker room… Glaring at the class roster…" Roxas answered.

Namine had a bitter face. "The former was a misunderstanding."

"...Oh. Are you maybe...interested in somebody…?"

Namine was nervous and embarrassed. She then pulled up her legs and wrapped her arms around them. "To be honest..."

After Explanation

"Hahahahahahah!" Roxas and Xion were laughing at Namine's reason as she turned away from them, being annoyed from laughter. "M-my name?! That's what you were worried about all this time!?"

Namine was glooming and stayed silent.

"My name though...my name, huh?" Still finding it funny to him.

"Nami you're lammme!" Xion insulted.

"Well, I couldn't ask him to his face, could I?!" Finally turning her attention to the boys.

"Lame! Lame! Lame!" Xion continued to insult her sister.

"You little brat Xion…!" Namine said ass she grabbed Xion.

"Hang on a second. I'm borrowing your pen." Roxas said as he began writing on a paper. "Here you go." Handing her the paper he finished writing on.

Namine grabbed the paper and read what he wrote in her head. "Roxas...Strife…"

Roxas was concerned of Namine's silence making him realize his mistake. "Oh. Sorry. I forgot to write out the pronunciation. Let me have it back again."

"I CAN READ IT!" Namine yelled. "...Well, I guess I'll hang on to this just in case I forget again…"

"I'd rather you didn't forget, if possible…" Roxas timidly said.

"I-I KNOW THAT!"

"Maybe if you try to say it out loud you'll remember it more easily!" Roxas suggested.

"Uh, sure….Roxas...S-strife…"

Roxas smiled. "That's me! Got it memorized?"

"Uh...I think so…" Namine went back to her thoughts. "Now that I think about it…" Remembering something. "Roxas, do you maybe not know my full name too?!"

"It's Namine Caelum, right?" Roxas smiled as he answered without hesitation.

Namine fell but managed to catch herself with her hands on the floor. While Roxas was struggling to hold his laughter in as he watched Namine. "Namine's smart, but sometimes she can be kinda dumb…"

After all that Roxas and Namine were washing the dishes together. "You know, when I met your mom today, it occurred to me that you take after her. You both look alike to the point where I almost mistaken her as you. Don't you think Namine?"

"Huh!? Well, some people tend to mix us up sometimes."

"People often tell me I take after my mom too but I don't see. I'd say I look like my dad more probably due to us having almost identical hair color and eye color."

"Huh so people think Roxas look like his mom instead of his dad..? He does have somewhat a girlie face. I wonder…" Namine thought. "Hey, if we put you into girls' clothes, would you turn into your mom?" She questioned.

"HUH?! Where that come from?!" Roxas said with a terrified look on his face.

"You're skinny. You could use my stuff." Ignoring his question.

"Seriously where did this come from Namine?!"

The doorbell then rang. "Nami! Someone's at the door!" Xion shouted.

"Huh? Is it a delivery? I'm a little busy over here Xion!"

"I-I'll get it for you! I'll even sign it 'Namine' don't worry!" Roxas said as he was leaving the kitchen. "Thank goodness I can get away from her for a bit." Roxas felt relieved.

"H-hey, Roxas!" Namine tried calling out but he was already making his way to the door. "I was half-joking...Geez… He's signing 'Namine' though,huh…? I think someone's starting to feel at home around here… You're Roxas, y'know…" Namine's thought was broken when she heard her name.

"Namine?" The voice called. Namine then realized whose voice it was. "That voice...!"

"Sorry, Namine! I took forever to get your notebook back...to you…" Kairi opened her eyes and saw that it wasn't Namine who opened the door.

Namine then quickly left the kitchen and stopped around the corner.

Roxas was just staring at Kairi as he was terrified to see one of his classmates looking at his current appearance. While Kairi just stared at him with a blush on her face. In the back, Namine peeked the corner and saw the two just staring at each other causing her to panic at the situation. "OH CRAP…!"

End of Chapter 5. Hope that this chapter was okay! I decided to write this story because I was I recently reading some Roxas and Namine stories on this site and felt like I should continue my story and here we are. It's been one year since I wrote this story, I find it crazy and awesome because this is my first story I ever wrote so it's pretty special to me in some way and after some time I think I slowly improved compared to how I wrote before haha. I was also making some changes on the characters I wanted to play their role as. For example, I was going to make Aerith play as Namine's mom and Zack as her father but I after playing Final Fanstasy 15 I thought Luna and Notic would be better candidates especially with their hair color matching Namine's and Xion's hair.

Like, I said I'm gonna explain why this story took awhile to be updated. I sort of lost interest with Kingdom Hearts for a bit. I was getting tired of it at the time and I was also tired of not getting much information on Kingdom Hearts 3 making lose my spark with this story but after hearing news about Kingdom Hearts 3 it was starting to get me hyped for the game again (sadly the game wouldn't be coming out this year as I thought it would but at least the game will be better and hopefully with no bugs!). Another thing I had to deal at that time was focusing on my finals because it was my first year of college, so I didn't want to do horribly on them so I put aside story writing until I felt the time was right to continue writing. Though, I did get back into writing after finishing finals, I was working on other stories such as my RWBY story(which I also lost my spark with the series itself) and I also have some Persona stories as well but I never posted them on this site, only on my deviantart account I posted them unless you guys are interested in seeing the stories I made for them I'll gladly post them just message me or leave a review if you want. I also want to thanks those who chose to follow, favorite, or review the story! Glad to see support and appreciation towards the story, kinda makes me happy to hear and see that. I think that's all wanted to say so thanks for the support again and I'll hopefully see you soon!

Words: 3,363 (if I count the author notes and stuff before the story then it's 4,249)

Music I used: Musique pour la Tristesse de Xion, Kairi Theme, Other Promises, and some Persona music.

Please leave a review if you like! It helps me on what I can improve with the story and catch some errors I made in the story.
