Author's Note: Hey guys, here's the new chapter, finally. lol This one has two parts. The first is Roxas and the second is Namine. I gotta warn you, though. This chapter has a tad bit of yuri, but nothing extremely explicit. If you don't want to read that part, then stop after Roxas' part, PM me and I'll fill you in on what happens. But if you don't mind it being there, then enjoy the rest of the story. Enjoy...

Roxas:

"Oh my God, where am I," I mumbled as I ran my fingers through my spikey blond hair. I was lying on my back on some kind of hospital bed. I had no idea how I got there either. "Sora, Kairi, Riku, Namine, Xion, are you guys there?" I asked. There was no reply, however. I tried to get off the bed and stand up, but my legs felt like noodles. I managed to fumble around the dark room to a light switch, but they wouldn't turn on. The building must not have had any power. I was in complete darkness. I reached into my pocket and fished out my phone so I could see where I was and maybe find a flashlight. There were tables with drawers around me, so I began to search each one. I found a mini-flashlight that would clip onto my shirt. I turned it on and clipped it to the collar. It made my collar sag a little, but that was the least of my concert. I had to find a way out and find my friends so we could get Vanitas and get out of that town.

There was also a decorative sword hanging on the wall. I didn't know what might be lurking in the darkness of that hospital, but I knew I'd probably need the sword. I took it and slung it over my shoulder, walking out the door into the darkness of the hallway.

It was quiet for a long time, and not just quiet meaning normal, natural sounds. It was complete silence. It made me on edge and made my ears start ringing. The silence was broken by footsteps from behind me. I turned, but couldn't see anything yet. Whatever it was hadn't come into the flashlight's range yet. What really disturbed me, however, was a low moan and the sound of bones crackling. Soon, the creature came from the darkness and into my line of sight. A faceless figure stood before me. I made out the form as being female; mostly thanks to the bloody, torn outfit it was wearing. It wore a tan, low-cut nurse's shirt and a nurse's hat. It also wore a short, tight mini-skirt and heels. The outfit was something I'd fantasized seeing Namine in a time or two, but the sight was sickening when it was on this monster. Its movements were sharp and showed where the bone-cracking sound was coming from. Every motion seemed painful, like the creature was in an eternal torment simply by walking. It had a knife in hand, so I raised my sword to fight it off.

It charged and the sound was like someone popping bubble wrap. Before it could slash me, I stabbed it in the chest and blood sprayed all over my face. The creature collapsed and I used my shirt to wipe the blood out of my eyes.

Suddenly, I heard another noise. I turned around to see what it was, but was surprised to find a normal-looking girl. She had long, blonde hair down her back and was wearing a blue cropped top with denim shorts. Her blue eyes sparkled in my flashlight. "Who are you?" I asked as she walked closer to me. She was extremely beautiful.

"My name is Kurami," she said in a sweet voice. "I've been lost in this town for a long time. I don't even remember how long it's been!" She seemed frightened and I felt a need to comfort her. I wrapped my arm around her shoulder to make her feel secure.

"I'm Roxas," I introduced. "I've been separated from my friends. Have you seen anyone else around here?"

"No, but how about we look for them together," she said. She tried to lace her fingers with mine as she grabbed my hand, but I shrugged her off. I would have been lying if I said I wasn't attracted to her, but I couldn't let myself think about her. I was with Namine. End of story. I didn't plan on cheating on her with some random stranger, no matter how hot that stranger might be.

We walked through the dark hallways, fighting demonic nurses as we went along. Kurami and I developed a sort of attachment to each other during that short time. We traveled together for about ten minutes. "Is there even an exit to this hospital?" I asked.

"There has to be one," she said. We got in here somehow, right?"

"I guess so," I said.

"Besides, if we don't find a way out soon, those monsters will kill us. I don't know about you, but I'm getting tired. I don't think I could survive another attack!" she said with fear in her eyes.

"I'll keep you safe, Kurami," I said. "Nothing is going to kill you. I promise."

"Thank you, Roxas," she said. "Hey, lean a little closer." I did as she said, but immediately pulled away when she kissed me on the lips.

"What do you think you're doing, Kurami? I have a girlfriend!" I said angrily.

Her face turned darker as if I'd hurt her with that outburst and sudden rejection. "I'm sorry," she said as she stifled tears. "I didn't know you were with someone. I…I don't know what came over me. I just…felt some unbearable attraction to you. I…I want you, Roxas."

"What are you talking about?" I asked. She stepped closer and backed me into the wall. Her face was mere inches from mine and I could taste her breath. She seemed to be deliberately breathing into my mouth. The taste reminded me of homemade apple pie with cinnamon and brown sugar. It was everything I could do to resist her advance. "Kurami, stop this! I…I don't…I don't even know you!"

"Just shut up and kiss me, Roxas," she said. I barely noticed her eyes flicker red, but that didn't completely register in my mind at the time.

Her body was now pressed against mine. The contact made my cheeks flush and certain hormones react. I knew I'd hate myself for it, but I claimed her lips in a fiery kiss as my hands roamed her slender form. The skin of her bare abdomen was soft and warm against my hands, just as her lips were against mine. "Oh, Roxas…" she moaned. She ripped my shirt off and traced my chest and abs with her slender fingers. Namine was never this passionate all the times I was with her. Kurami was insane! My brain shut itself down before the guilt of cheating on her could sink in.

I had closed my eyes as she had her way with me. She was about to pull my pants down when I opened my eyes. I wasn't expecting what I saw, though.

A different girl was in Kurami's place, and she was, though more sexualized, far more frightening than even the nurses. Her purple top exposed her abdomen, but she wore the same denim shorts as Kurami, albeit a little shorter. Her breasts were larger and her hips wider, giving her an hourglass figure. Her jet-black hair was short in the back with three, long spikes hanging down to serve as bangs. The largest spike covered nearly all of her left eye. Her eyes…they were the frightening part of her. The irises were gold and the pupils were cat-like slits. Looking at her as a whole, this woman reminded me of a snake!

"What did you do with Kurami?" I demanded. "Where is she?"

The woman laughed. "Roxas, I am Kurami," she said. "This is what I do, silly. I seduce the people who wander into the town so I can kill them and eat their hearts! And I could tell from the moment I saw you that yours would be exceptionally delicious!"

"What are you?" I asked.

"My kind has been called many things throughout history," she said. "The term you may be more familiar with would be…Succubus." I could have sworn she hissed the last "s" in Succubus. That would explain her intense sexual behavior and unusual seductive power. "I can seduce anyone I wish. You know in your heart that you wouldn't intentionally cheat on your girlfriend. You love her too much, and I can sense that."

"Just let me go so I can find her!" I pleaded.

"I'm sorry, but she's also on the menu tonight," Kurami said. "It's been a while since I tasted the blood of a female. I can't wait to sink my teeth into her jugular vein!" Kurami licked her lips as she imagined what Namine's blood would taste like. My eyes were full of tears as I sat down and grabbed clumps of my hair.

"Look, you can kill me if you want, but I'm begging you…please, don't kill Namine!" I begged. "She's got her whole life ahead of her, and she doesn't deserve to die! Please, I'm begging you, Kurami…let her go!"

Kurami kneeled to meet my gaze. "Sorry, Roxas," she said. "But this is my nature as a demon. I wish I could spare her, but the promise of her blood is far too exciting for me to pass up! You'll see her again once you're both dead, I promise."

I spat in her face and she drew back. "Drop dead," I said.

"You'll regret that," she said. She drew her hand back and thrust it into my chest. I howled in unbearable pain as I felt her rip my heart from the veins and arteries attaching it. She pulled it out of my chest as it was still beating. I nearly threw up, but couldn't bring myself to do it as I felt myself slowly die. I guess it wouldn't be much different from asphyxiation. Without my heart, oxygen couldn't reach my brain. I was royally screwed. Before my vision blacked out, I saw her take a bite of my heart as if it were an apple. I saw a large smile on her face, which was covered in blood. I hung my head down as I died.

Namine:

"Roxas, Riku, anyone, are you there?" I called out all alone. As much as I could figure, I was in a high school class room. It was almost pitch black and I could hear noises just outside the door. I was terrified of what could have been making those sounds. I fumbled around and felt a flashlight lying in one of the desks. I was relieved to finally have some light, but it also made the thought off what was outside the door even more frightening. I was half-afraid to open the door, but I swallowed my fear, picked up a broomstick that was lying next to me, and charged through the door.

Low and behold, there was some kind of creature in front of me. It was a small, black, transparent ghost-like creature. It made this squeaking sound as it walked and didn't try to harm me. It reminded me of a little toddler, especially when it fell. I laughed and it took notice of me. It promptly disappeared and I was left alone. I wished for the ghost's presence again. Being alone was far more disturbing than anything else in this town. "No need to be alone, Namine," a voice said behind me.

"Who's there?" I called out. "Show yourself!"

A young, blond-haired woman was walking closer to me through the shadows. She didn't look hostile, but there was also something off about her too. "My name is Kurami, and I'm lost, just like you," she said.

"How do you know my name?" I said.

"I saw your boyfriend, Roxas," she said. "I was with him not too long ago, but he sacrificed himself to let me get away from a group of demon children." She hung her head down and looked as if she was going to cry.

My heart shattered. "Roxas is…dead?" I asked in disbelief. I put my right hand on the wall for support as I clutched my chest with my left hand. "No…no…this…this can't be real! I…Roxas…no."

"I'm sorry, Namine," she said. "I wanted to help him, but the monsters he was fighting killed him before I could help. I'm so sorry!"

I walked over to her and hugged her, not just for her sake, but also my own. I dismissed all suspicions about Kurami as I saw the sincerity of her pain. "Don't worry, we'll find a way out of this place. First, we have to find my friends, if they're still alive."

"Alright," she said. "Follow me. I think I know how to get out of this school." I followed Kurami as she led me through the dark halls of the school. "Namine, if it will make you feel better, Roxas told me how much he loved you. He said you were the Light of his life."

"He really said that?" I asked. "That does make me feel better, but it still hurts that I didn't even get to say goodbye."

"I know the feeling," she said. "About a week before I got trapped here in Silent Hill, I got into an argument with my brother. I told him off and he stormed out of the house. A few hours later, I got a call from the police saying he died in a car accident." She started to cry again.

"I'm sorry," I said.

"It's ok," she said. "I came here to clear my head, but ended up getting trapped. I've been here for about a month now, living off what I can. The food in the cafeteria freezer is still good, and so is the canned food, so I haven't worried about starving to death. But I miss my brother so much. He was my best friend, and I loved him dearly."

"We'll get out of this, Kurami," I said. "Then, you can visit your brother's grave and say goodbye for real."

"Thanks, Namine," she said. At least Kurami had the body of her brother to say goodbye to. Roxas was probably mutilated into millions of pieces.

We wandered for what felt like hours. I knew we were going in circles, and I felt Kurami was doing this on purpose. "Kurami, we've been down this hall before. I remember passing the Teacher's Lounge before. You're leading us in circles!"

"I know," she said. My heart sank as she admitted she had no intention of leading me out.

"What?"

"I'm not exactly what I appear to be," she said as she stopped and turned around to face me, a golden glow in her once-blue eyes.

"What are you?" I asked with fear in my voice. She started to transform into the creature Xion had described Vanitas running over, a beautiful black-haired woman in a purple shirt and denim shorts.

"I represent the darkest corner of your mind," she said. "I can become anything your heart wants me to be. Tell me, Namine; what is your deepest secret? What is the one thing that you don't want anyone to know about you?"

"I have no idea what you're talking about, but I'm getting out of here!" I said as I turned away. It was no use, though. She was standing in front of me as I turned around with her arms crossed and an irritated look on her face. Her cat-like, gold eyes were focused on me.

"You're lying," she said. "I already know what it is. There's been a desire in you for most of your life, a desire for another woman. But because of the way you were raised, you were led to believe that you needed to punish and repress yourself because of that. You felt dirty, so you decided to get a boyfriend in hopes of 'curing' yourself! Every time you had sex with Roxas, it was just another lie you were telling yourself!"

"You liar!" I screamed, though she was mostly telling the truth aside from the part about Roxas. It was true. I was a lesbian, but I couldn't stand who I was! At the same time, however, I was tired of hiding and just wanted to scream it to the world. "I did love Roxas! He was the only man that I ever felt anything toward! Sure, I wasn't as passionate with him as he deserved, but I still loved him!"

"But you'd rather have someone else…someone more like me!" she said as she pushed me back against the wall and held her face close to mine. "Namine, I am the manifestation of your repressed sexuality, just as Maria was for James Sunderland all those years ago. I am also your self-inflicted punishment, your Pyramid Head!" So, all those stories were true? I knew it all along, but no one would listen to me!

Before I could make a move to get away, she kissed me and pinned me to the wall. The taste of her lips was unlike anything I'd ever known before. She trailed down my cheek and then suddenly my neck. I was in heaven, if but for a moment.

Then something happened that I wasn't expecting. Kurami bit down hard on my jugular vein, sucking the blood as it flowed from the deep wound. I tried to scream, but after a second, it only came out as a gurgle. I started to panic. I didn't know what would kill me, loss of blood or drowning on the blood that was filling my lungs. I had never been more scared.

"Goodnight, beautiful," she said as she dropped my blood-drained body to the ground and walked away. "I love you." My fingers twitched and my vision started to go out of focus as I watched her form disappear into the darkness. The school would be my grave. I was left alone with nothing but my own regrets and a small bottle of a strange red liquid next to my hand…

Author's Note: So, how did you like the story? Things will start to make sense eventually lol. I know exactly what I'm doing XD. Next chapter will be a surprise. You may see it coming, you may not see it. But there is a clue in this chapter and the one before it. It's not obvious, but it's there. lol Anyway, next update won't take this long, not will it be as sexually explicit as this one, though this one wasn't much lol. Until next time, friends...

P.S. Also, to the reviewer XIIIXV, thanks for the review. I'm putting this here since I couldn't reply to the review lol. And thank you to everyone else who reviewed and who will review in the future.
