I had to use the Chain of Memories script for this one. :0

Sleepless Chapter 23

The guilt on Namine's shoulders has been growing and growing the pass month. She always wanted a hero, but she didn't want to take one away from someone. She wanted to tell Sora everything and fix what she has done. And Kairi…how was she? Every once in a while, Namine would plan to pay her a visit, but would always find a reason not to. She was scared they'd find out. No. She knew they'd find out. But the numbers of the organization were falling and Axel always purposefully mentioned Kairi whenever Namine seemed sad. She worried about what they'd do to her and everyone involved. She looked at her sketchbook; the current page was blank. Namine has been dropping Sora hints on how she's not really the one who's special to him. He didn't seem to always catch them though. But she knew she was going to explain everything to him soon.

"Oh, I don't think you should give up just yet. By the way, Naminé. I don't see Marluxia around. Do you?" Axel's voice filled the room before he actually appeared. She straightened her sitting in her chair and looked at him.

She gave him a curious look, "What are you trying to say?"

Axel turned around, "There's no one here to stop you. Do it right." Namine gasped silently and ran out of her chair. Axel smiled at his accomplishment and laughed once she was out of the room.

Sora was on the island where he used to play with Riku and Namine. He already met up with Tidus, Wakka, and Selphie. He was running around the island looking for her now. He was glad he was finally remembering.

"Whoa! What's the big rush, Sora?" The silver-haired boy got him in a light headlock and laughed.

"I know you! You're Riku!" Sora shouted enthusiastically. Riku flung him out of the headlock, making Sora stumble his first ten steps.

"Gee…thanks for remembering me. It's been, what, a couple hours?" His friend smiled a little confused.

"Er...never mind. Are you okay? Are you still under his control?" Sora asked while his heart pounded.

"Sora…What are you talking about?" Riku asked concerned. He really believed the brunette has lost his mind. Sora went off to confuse Riku a little more with a few other questions. Their talk was interrupted by a huge earthquake. They decided that Riku would meet up with the others while Sora got to her. They ran off in opposite directions and Sora appeared on the little island with the paopu trees on them. The island started breaking apart and he desperately started to look for Namine.

"Namine!" He yelled, then catching sight of her. He ran to her and sighed.

"Sora…you came for me," she said happily. I'll tell him everything now. She started to confess everything in hints. "Think, Sora. Think of the person who's most special to you. See that faint glimmer way in the back of your heart? That's a piece of your memory, Sora. Call out to it! No matter how far away the light gets, your heart's voice will always reach it."

Sora looked at Namine desperately and confused, "But I already know who's most special to me. It's you, Na-" He looked down at his paopu fruit charm Namine had given him. It faded into another charm made of thalassa shells. Sora returned his eyes to Namine, her back was turned to him.

I'll make everything right, I promise. Namine turned around slowly and allowed the illusion of Kairi there instead of her. Everything faded to white and Sora was sent back to one of the rooms in the castle. He spotted Namine. He knew now.

"Namine..! The girl that is the most special to me…it's not you," He whispered. Namine nodded and took his hand.

"Go to her, for only a short time though." Namine replied as his blue eyes widened.

"Whoa, Kairi! You can be the next best blitzball player!" Tidus shouted as she caught his pass. She pouted; his pass was strong. She was surprised she didn't fall backward.

"No, that's your spot to take!" She shouted back. She threw the ball as hard as she could to Tidus and he caught it simply. She sighed in defeat and fell backwards into the sand purposely. She laid there, looking up at the clouds and blue sky, wondering when her lost memories were to be returned. Kairi didn't tell anyone yet or asked any questions that could give her answers. She didn't mind because she felt fine at the moment. But still…she wanted to know as soon as she could. Tidus, Wakka, and Selphie were arguing about where they could go eat. The sad thing was, they were trying to surprise Kairi. She laughed at their failed attempt. Kairi sat up and was greeted with a spiky haired brunette before her, in a white room.

This was a seriously deliberate cliffy. Review my lovely readers? :) Thank you!
