Disclaimer: I don't own Kingdom Hearts or any thing like that, alright?

A/N: Yipee! It's good to be back, sorry I took so long, I was hit hard with a really bad case of the flu, I'm just now feeling better :D. Anyway, please forgive me...sorry. Well, this is kinda KairiXSoraXNaminé, it'll be a little crazy, lol, but don't worry, it should be sorted out by the end. Oh, and a little heads up, this is from a perspective that Naminé hasn't met Roxas yet and that should explain why this is the way it is. Alright, here's the next drabble, enjoy (and don't forget to review, okay?):

I Need a Hero

(Centric: Naminé)

I sit here, in this cold, white room. I just stare down at the floor…I couldn't stand the thought of what was to come next. I heard footsteps from behind me, I looked to see that it was the one person I absolutely didn't want to approach me…Marluxia, member XI of my captors, Organization XIII…because this could only mean one thing at this point. He had been trying to usurp power for a while now. He never told me directly that was his goal, but I could tell by his actions. His dreams of finally taking control all rested on one thing, a young man named Sora. He was the Keyblade Master who opposed darkness, but he was powerful, his heart was strong and his resolve was unmatched by most, save for maybe Marluxia. He meant a little more to me though, for some reason, I knew who he was, we both knew why that was…I was Kairi Nobody, and Kairi was his closest friend, although I feel that deep down…they're closer than that, I can tell.

"Naminé, it's time, begin manipulating Sora's memories. Make him forget Kairi for starters." He politely asked, kindness was in his voice, but I knew better, it was a façade that hid his true disposition, he was ruthless, vicious and cold deep down in his…well…what would be his heart. We're Nobodies…we can feign emotions, but we have no hearts to produce real feelings.

When I heard what Marluxia told me to do, I spoke out, "It won't work, pulling him away from her."

"Oh, and why is that?" The pink haired man questioned, laughing a little at my remark.

"Because…the farther he's taken away…the more he'll fight to come back to her." I softly spoke the truth, trying to avoid angering him, for some reason, he never got to angry when I spoke the truth, whether it amused his sick, twisted mind, or perhaps because he simply likes honesty, I'll never understand how that guy thinks.

Marluxia just grinned at my comment, "Well, we'll just have to replace his memories of her…with you." I looked up in shock…that was a terrible notion to me.

"That won't work…because…I'm her shadow." I whispered as he walked away. Deep down though, I kind of hoped that this would work…finally someone to care for me, even if it was all because of a lie…he would care for me. However, wouldn't this ruin my other self, Kairi? If I took away the one she cared about just to make me happy…that would be awful, and what else, he would be a puppet for evil. I couldn't bring myself to do that, now that I think about it. Oh, why must this be so difficult, either I do it or I don't…it's that simple, isn't it? Apparently not, wait…maybe I could work this out. I slowly pick up my pencil and began to draw. That's it, I would replace Sora's memories of Kairi with me…but only put memories that will draw them closer together in the end. I'll hopefully be able to correct things before it gets too out of hand…that way, I'll get to know what it's like to have someone really care for me, and Kairi will still have the one she cared for. I kept this up for a few days, but as I manipulated his memories, I realized that it was hard to get to his heart…his feelings for Kairi where strong; I barely managed to change his memories.

After a while, we finally met. I wanted so hard to be happy when I saw him…but I couldn't help but feel crushed as I saw how dedicated he was to saving me…he fought so hard, only for a lie…that I had spun. I could see it when I looked into his eyes, he really cared for me…no…he cared for Kairi, but I could relish the moment, couldn't I? When he finally saved me and defeated Larxene and Axel, two of my captors, and a false Riku, who I had unwillingly manipulated as well I learned just how deep those feelings were.

We looked each other in the eyes, he solemnly spoke to me, "You're…not the one I'm looking for…are you?" He sounded hurt, but there were other emotions in his voice as well. I wanted so badly to say that I was, but I couldn't do it…I was hurt, yet I was also happy that my manipulation didn't work…it meant that Marluxia wouldn't win and he and Kairi would be happy. I still felt bad for manipulating him though, and I only felt worse when he forgave me…I had done a horrible thing to him, but he honestly and graciously forgave me…and he went further and promised to protect me. A little later, Sora and Marluxia…the two most influential people in my life, squared off in a final confrontation. The Graceful Assassin then gave me a terrible task.

"Rip his memories from his heart." He gave a wicked grin as he spoke. I was appalled, I couldn't take it anymore.

"No!" I practically screamed my disgust, "If I did that, it would…"

"Collapse his heart, I know…but that is better than nothing, a broken heart can be mended with time." The wicked man just continued to poor out the evil…he never cared for anyone but himself.

"I won't do it! He forgave me…even after what I did to him…I can't, I won't!" I finally stood up for myself, for the first time that I could remember, I couldn't take it anymore.

"Then, you leave me no choice…" The older man gave me a glare that was as cold as death. He surely would have killed me but Sora interrupted.

"Naminé, do what he says." He kindly spoke. Both Marluxia and I were both shocked by his action. "Don't worry, even if I forget, my promise to you will still be in my heart, besides, even if my memories were taken from me, I could still kick his butt." The brunette hero grinned confidently as he prepared to fight. Fight they did, and after a heated conflict, Sora and his friends won and had put an end to Marluxia's madness. I still felt bad for manipulating him and offered a way to fix it by placing him in suspended animation while I returned his original memories. He accepted, but he, once again, did something shocking, he asked if he would forget me. I told him that he would, being as my being in his memories would mess up the rest of them.

He became sad when I told him that, but he quickly smiled, "That's okay…I'll still remember my promise, no matter what happens. We'll see each other again." He smiled as I closed his chambers. I only prayed that would be the case, hopefully our next meeting will be better. Deep down, I wish things could have been different, because I really liked him, he was kind, gentle, caring, everything I ever really needed, but he was destined for someone else, Kairi…but on the bright side, whatever happiness she felt on his behalf, I would feel, because, like I said before, I am her shadow. So now, as I correct my mistakes, I cherish my memories of him, but I can't help but feel that there's someone else out there for me as well…I can feel it…he's just like Sora too, why wouldn't he be? I mean, if I fell for him, the one who's actually for me can't be too different, right? Well, we'll just have to see who my hero is when destiny allows us to meet, won't we?

A/N: Well, how'd I do? Please let me know by reviewing, okay?
