~Promise me it'll be okay

I lie to you

But not myself

But please

Promise me it'll be okay~

Chapter 6: Somewhere

Kairi buried her face in her hands, trying very hard not to start crying."It gonna be okay Kairi," Sora tried to reassure her. They were sitting on a bench in the school yard, the bell not going to ring for another fifteen minutes.

"How do you know that?" Kairi looked up. "It's been years since she had a fever that bad. Cloud said it was almost to 42!"

"He also said it's probably a side effect from the Meds." Riku, who was standing by her left side, said.

"She does this every time. She starts feeling sick, but instead of telling someone she tries to fight it off." She turned an accusing look at the silver haired boy. "Did she mention something to you?"

"No, she didn't, "Riku shook his head. "Even she won't tell me that."

"Urg, that girl is so...so...Urg!" once again, she buried her head in her hands. Riku and Sora exchanged a look. They knew how hard this was for Kairi.

"Is she going to be okay?" Somehow they had failed to see Olette and Pence walkover to them.

"Yeah, she's just worried because Nams is sick," Sora explained. Beside him, the red head moaned in frustration. Sora rubbed her back comforting.

"What's wrong?" Olette asked, concern in her green eyes not only for the absent blonde, but for the redhead in front of her as well.

"Just a fever," Riku said before Sora could answer.

"That sucks. Will she be able to make the party tomorrow?" Pence asked.

"Hopefully," Kairi lifted her had now that she regained her composure.

The bell rang then, signalling the start of school.

As she walked to her First Period, Kairi thought about her cousin. Now that she thought about it, Naminé has been looking pale. Well, she's always been pale, but even more so lately. She's also been sitting a lot, not walking to the corner store two blocks away from the school at lunch as much.

"Oh no," she stopped where she was, ignoring the weird and annoyed looks she got as people passed her. "Oh no, oh no, oh no."

"Hey, Kairi?" She felt a tug on her arm, bringing her back to the school hallway.

"What?" She blinked, realizing she who she was looking at. "Oh, Roxas."

"Something wrong? You don't normally zone out in the hallway like that. You feeling okay?" he frowned. Kairi looked around, realizing he had pulled her off to the side by the lockers. How did he do that without her noticing?

"Um, no, I mean yes, uh wait..." Kairi took a deep breath, calming her mind. "Cloud called me this morning, because Sora and I were supposed to go pick up Naminé for school. Apparently, after Sora dropped her off yesterday she broke out into a fever and started getting really sick. She was throwing up and dry heaving for a half hour before he could take her to lye down. He said she's better this morning, that the fevers gone but she's staying home just in case."As she spoke, she saw a various amount of emotions go through the blondes eyes. Shock and worry were the most dominate.

"What? Why?" he asked.

"Cloud thinks it's a reaction to the Meds she's taking."

"That's not possible," Roxas muttered but Kairi missed it.

"I'm going to go see her after school," She said. "Want to come?" For a second, she he would say yes. It looked like that, the way his eyes lit up but then they darkened slightly.

"No. I have something to do anyway." he said flatly. Kairi felt her temper spark. She always had problems with it when she was worried, especially when it came to Naminé.

"Something more important than Naminé?" She snapped, not noticing the way he flinched. "What could more important then her right now?" her eyes suddenly narrowed dangerously. "If it's something to do with that gang of your's I swear I won't hesitate to hit you Roxas Hikari."

"Even if it was that wouldn't be any of your business, now would it?" Roxas snapped back.

"You're choosing them over her?" Kairi said in disbelief. She couldn't believe that this was the same guy she wanted her cousin to rekindle with. Maybe Riku was right, and she should just leave it. "Did you even care about her before she left? Or did you pretend just to hurt her later?"

Something sparked into Roxas's eyes. Something beyond anger. Kairi to an involuntary step backwards as he stepped towards her. It was times like this she found it hard to believe he and Sora were related, but easy to believe he was to Vanitas, their cousin who lived back in Destiny Islands. Both had a dark look in their eyes when angered, and both scared her when she saw that look.

"Shut. The hell. Up. Don't talk about things you know absolutely nothing about Glacies," he said coldly before turning around, leaving her in the now deserted hallway.

Naminé sighed, sinking further into the tub so only her nose and higher was above the water. She loved having a soak tub, especially when it had jests built in. It was very relaxing.

When she woke up this morning she had a pounding headache that was so bad it hurt to look at any kind of light so Cloud made her stay home. A pat of her felt guilty that he had to call into work and tell them he wasn't coming in today, but another part was glad. She didn't like being alone when she was sick.

She was feeling better, way better then yesterday that's for sure.

When she got home Cloud made her take the pills. He stood there, watching her, so she had no choice but to swallow them. The result not being a pretty picture.

'I hate this' she thought. 'I hate those medicines. I hate getting sick from them. I hate everything, it's not fair. Why do I have to keep going through this, what did I ever do to the world besides being born?'

Maybe that was the problem. Maybe her being born was a sin in itself. It was possible, seeing how her mother could be the Devil. Who ever said had Satan had to be a man? It made more sense for him to be a her since women were so good at manipulating. People would agree with her if they met her mother. But only a few have. It's been years since she last saw the tall, blonde woman who abandoned her and her brothers.

Thinking about her brothers made her depressed. She had two older brothers but only one was with her. Her other brother left, just like her mother and then her step father.

'What is it about me that makes people want to leave me?' she sunk farther into the water until she was fully submerged. 'My mother, my step father, even my brother…even Roxas. How long will it be before Cloud or Kairi or Sora or Riku get tired of me too'

Not feeling very relaxed anymore she lifted her head from the water before draining the water and getting out.

"Cloud?" she called as she walked down the staircase twenty minutes later.

"In the kitchen."

She walked in to see her brother turning the stove off. She smelled what he was cooking before she saw it.

"I hate eggs." she frowned.

"Yeah, but they're good for you so don't complain."

Naminé scowled as she sat down at the table. Reluctantly she lifted the fork and started eating the gross white and yellow food. With every bite she took she made sure to take a sip of water.

When she was almost finished she felt a hand press against her forehead.

"Well your fever's completely gone," Cloud said once he removed it. "We'll see how well you keep this down before we decide supper."

Naminé nodded, taking one last sip from her glass. When she set it down, she realized something.

"Your not giving me the Meds?" she asked.

"No, they've obviously stopped being compatible with your system," Cloud shook his head. "I'll make an appointment at the hospital for next week an-"

"No!" Naminé stood up. Her chair wobbled dangerously from the sudden force of being pushed back. "You promised Cloud! No Hospitals!"

"I said I wouldn't take you last night," Cloud frowned at her. "We need to get you checked out. You know that."

"But-"

"You can still go to that party tomorrow. Even though I really don't want you to go. Just stick to Kairi or Riku."

"What about Sora?" she saw her brothers lips twitch.

"Sure. Him too." Despite herself Naminé couldn't help but smile. Though Cloud liked Sora, he didn't think he was that strong. Doesn't help that he saw Kairi practice her karate on the burnet when they were twelve and successfully flipped the poor boy.

"Thanks for letting me go, but I'm still not going to the hospital," She said before leaving the kitchen.

Roxas threw the ball as hard as he could, making it bounce off a guy with black hair.

'How can she react to a Medication that she's not even taking?' he thought, ducking as a ball came flying at him.

They were playing a game of dodge ball in gym, which he used to relent his annoyance and anger.

He'll admit, he felt bad for getting mad at Kairi but she did strike a very…sensitive nerve with him. He caught the next ball that came at him.

'It's none of her business what I do. Still, I'll have to apologize before Sora gets mad at me' he thought before throwing the ball. He threw it a bit harder then he intended to, and smacked a guy right in the face.

He had a feeling the teacher wouldn't of freaked as much as he did if it wasn't the third time that class.

"That's it. Hikari, er younger Hikari. Go change. You need to cool off."

Grumbling, Roxas turned towards the change rooms.

"Roxas!" he turned to see Sora running over to him.

"What?"

"What's up man? I've never seen you this angry before." Sora frowned, something unusual for him.

"It's nothing. I'll see you after school." Roxas left.

After he changed he took out his cell.

"Got kicked outta class. You at the roof?"

It wasn't until he was to the door that said, "Keep Out" on it that he got a reply.

"Will be soon"

Rolling his eyes, Roxas opened the door and headed up the staircase.

A cool breeze greeted him once he reached the top. Suppressing a shiver he zipped up his coat. He was still surprised the school let him and the others get away with wearing them but maybe the principal thought something would happen if he told them to take them off.

"What an idiot," he said. As Xigbar would say, As if. Why would they target a school? He sat on the ground, leaning back against the fence.

"Funny, I said the same thing about five minutes ago." Roxas looked up to see the person he was waiting for.

"That was fast," he said.

"I was already on my way up here when you texted me," Axel said, leaning against the fence also.

"Class that boring?"

"Nah. We were watching a war video. It was pretty cool."

"So why were you coming up here?"

"Sora texted me."

"Sora?" It was an understatement to say this surprised the blonde. "Since when do you two talk?"

"When I brought you home from that fight a few months ago it convinced him that I wasn't a bad influence who likes fire, just a bad influence who likes fire, but still a good friend at the same time."

"Even though it was your fault I got into a fight along with Demyx and your crazy girlfriend?" Roxas raised an eyebrow.

"Again, I bailed you out didn't I?"

"Yeah, with Xigbar's hel-"

"Details, man. Who needs 'em?" The redhead smirked.

"So why did my cousin text you?" Roxas laid down, putting his hands behind his head.

"Sora seems to think your not taking your happy pills lately." The blonde gave him a dirty look, which was ignored. "Have you been taking them?"

"Don't need 'em," Roxas muttered.

"You suck at lying," Axel sat down, leaning his arm on his leg. "Dude, you know what happens when you don't take them. If Xion were here-"

"Well she isn't, now is she?" Roxas snapped, sitting up. "She's not part of the Organization anymore so don't bring her up!"

"Last time you stopped taking them you almost got thrown in jail for good." Axel snapped back. "Stop moping about your girlfriend and make up with her. Everyone knows you want to. Besides, it won't do either of you any good if you both don't start taking care of yourselves."

To the Pyro's surprise, his friend laughed. Granted it had a slight edge to it, but still.

"Dude, you really are Bipolar."

"No, that's not it," Roxas shook his head. "Those were almost the exact words I heard when I first met…Naminé."

"Oh?" Axel raised an eyebrow.

"Yeah." Roxas turned his head to look towards the parking lot. His eyes had a distant look in them. "We met at the hospital here when we were five. Like her, I got sick a lot when I was little just not as badly, not even close. Anyway, I had a habit of always leaving my room and wandering around. When I ran out of hallways to wander through I found a way to unlock the doors there."

"Even then…" Axel shook his head, amused.

"One night I ended up in her room. I startled her and she chucked her toy at me." Roxas felt his lips turn up into a small smile as he got lost in the memories. "Eventually we began visiting each others rooms. We didn't like taking the medicine and the nurses would always say nothing good comes out of being careless with your health."

"And you don't want to make up with her because…?"

"I don't know," Roxas frowned, his voice quiet now. "Most of the time I want to. To apologize and tell her why I did what I did and just be friends again at least. But sometimes…I can't help but wander if it's better that I don't."

"Hmm." Axel scratched the back of his head. "Well, that friend of yours, Selphie, is having a party tomorrow right?"

"Yeah?" Roxas gave him a confused look.

"Let's go. Betcha Naminé will be there since Kairi will. Talk to her."

"I don't…" Roxas's voice trailed off as he closed his eyes.

"It never hurts to try. Got it memorized?"

Roxas stayed silent for a minute. Then he sighed.

"Right. Never hurts." he opened his eyes. "We'll see."

Axel grinned.

"Great. Then we'll just have to get some costumes."

Kairi sighed, running a hand through her hair. It was Saturday morning, and she was standing in Naminé's room.

Kairi loved her cousins house. It was a big, white with black trimming Victorian-Style house that was located just outside Twilight Town near the woods. It had three floors, not including the basement. Right when you walked in the house you can see the large, open living room to the left. Past that is the dining room, then to the right is the kitchen then there's a spare room right beside the kitchen.

The second floor had six, yes, six rooms with a bathroom in each one. Lastly the third floor, if it could count as that. It was mostly a staircase that lead to short hallway. Down that hallway was a door on the right side that lead to Naminé's bedroom

"Is she still asleep?" Kairi turned to see Riku standing in the door way.

"Yeah," Kairi looked at the queen sized bed that her cousin was still asleep on. She was going to wake her up but she looked so peaceful…

"Well, I'm bored." Riku walked towards the sleeping blond. It was then Kairi noticed the glass of water in his hand.

"Hey, what are you-" Naminé's shout of surprise interrupted her.

"What the hell!"

"Riku!"

The silver haired boy shrugged before walking out. Kairi sighed before looking at her now wet cousin.

"Nice wake up call," the blonde grumbled, moving her hair from her face.

"Well, it is almost noon," Kairi sat on the edge of the bed.

"Why are you and Riku in my house?"

"And Sora. He's raiding your fridge right now."

"Again, you're in my house because…?"

"Sheesh, you're so grumpy when you wake up," Kairi laughed at the look she got. She stood up, walking to the door. "Riku and Sora are just dropping me off. They're hanging out by themselves today and I wanted some girl time with you."

"Off to have their Bromance?" Naminé asked as they made their way down the stairs.

"Yeah. You know, it's starting to creep me out."

"Bromances usually are creepy."

"Hey! No dissin the Bromance just cuz you're jealous!" Sora's voice called.

Kairi and Naminé looked at each other, rolled their eyes, and laughed.

They found the boys in the living room. Both were sitting on the top part of the couch, looking around like they expected something to attack them any minute.

"What are you two doing?" Kairi asked.

"Sora just had to point out that Naminé's cat is around here," Riku muttered.

"Hey, you're the one that decided to pour water on Nams. It's not my fault that thing is freakishly protective of her." Sora muttered back. It was like they were too scared to make any loud noises.

"You guys make Alonzo sound like he's a horrible pet." Naminé crossed her arms.

"Us? Never." Riku rolled his eyes. He jumped when he saw the curtains twitch across the room.

"He's not that bad, you guys are over-" Kairi's words ended in a shriek when she felt something brush her legs, making her jump five feet forward.

Naminé frowned at them before bending down to pick up her black and white cat.

"You guys are mean to him, that's why he doesn't like you," She said. Now that the feline was restrained, the boys got down from their spots on the couch. Riku walked over to the blonde while Sora went to comfort his hyperventilating girlfriend.

"Naminé, your cat is the Devil's Spawn. It took a month for scratches on my leg to heal," He said, walking passed her (making sure there was a good meter between him and the glaring cat)

"You scared him." Naminé followed him.

"I walked passed him!"

"So, when are we meeting for the party?" Kairi asked before a fight could break out. Kairi knew how sensitive her cousin could get about her (Crazy) cat.

"It's at Eight, so we'll come get you at 7:15," Sora said. "Nams, got a date?"

"Nope."

"Wait, you mean you not going with me?" Riku said in mock despair.

"After you dissed my kitty? Your lucky I'm talking to you right now." Naminé snorted.

"Harsh," Riku chuckled. He stopped when a pair of amber eyes fixed on him. "Alright Sora, let's go before that thing pounces on us."

"Us? More like you," Sora laughed. He kissed Kairi on the cheek quickly and said bye to Naminé before following his friend.

"I do not get you two," Kairi shook her head as soon the door shut.

"What ?" Naminé put Alonzo back on the ground. He stretched before stalking up the stairs. Kairi wasn't sorry to see him go.

They made their way to the kitchen. Kairi sat on the counter while Naminé looked through the pantry for something to eat.

"You and Riku. You guys act like you're into each other but you both say you only see each other as siblings." Kairi said.

"And that bothers you because…?"

"Because I thought you liked Roxas." Kairi covered her mouth with her right hand as soon as the words left her mouth. She really didn't mean for that to slip out, and the guilt of it increased when she saw the blonde flinch as though she'd been struck.

Silence fell between them. Kairi felt bad for putting saying what she did but at the same time it bugged her. What the hell did Roxas do to make her cousin act like this?

"You're right." Kairi blinked in surprised.

"Huh?" she said brilliantly. Naminé turned, and Kairi was surprised once more to see that she was smiling.

"I said you're right," The blonde repeated with a shrug. "I did like Roxas. Back in the 7th grade. But now I don't."

'Wait, she did before but now she doesn't?' Kairi couldn't wrap her head around this.

"Why not?"

"Like I said, we grew apart."

"But that doesn't make sense," Kairi shook her head. "You guys were so close."

"It happens Kairi. Come on, A Walk To Remember is gonna be on T.V soon and I want to watch it."

"You know I hate the movie," The redhead muttered, following her cousin back into the living room.

"But it's so good."

"It's sad. I cry every time."

"You didn't last time."

"When I got home I did." Naminé laughed at her cousin before turning the channel.

It wasn't until they were a half hour into the movie did Kairi realise that her cousin effectively changed the subject.

Again.

"Hey Olette, do you ever wonder about Naminé?"

The Burnett looked up from where she sat on the couch, blowing up balloons. Across from her Selphie was putting fake cobwebs on the window. They were in a secluded room of the house, and Olette thinks it's more decorated then the rest of the rooms, where the party will actually be.

"What do you mean?" She asked, tying the balloon.

"Well, do you know what's wrong with her? I mean, she never does gym, even though I know she does swimming sometimes on weekends. And Kairi is so protective of her. Actually, her and Sora and Riku are."

"Sora said she has a low immune system," Olette hit the balloon so it went across the room to join the other ones.

"If that was just it they wouldn't hover like she's about to drop dead any second."

"Riku doesn't hover though." Olette pointed out.

"True, but Kairi does. Sora does sometimes too. You see how he's always running up the stands to check on her whenever he can get away with it in gym." Olette nodded. She could argue with that. But still…"They'll tell us when their ready," She said. "I mean, we just met Naminé so she's not that comfortable around us. I'm sure she'll tell us once she knows she can trust us."

Kairi sighed, tapping her foot impatiently.

"What's taking them so long?"

"What do you expect, Naminé's doing Sora's make-up." Riku blinked. "Wow, never thought I'd say that."

Kairi laughed softly. They were almost ready to leave, but their two friends were taking forever to get ready. Kairi and Riku were set to go, Kairi in her witch costume and Riku in as a " Sexy white werewolf" as he claimed.

"Hey, Riku?" Kairi said after a while.

"Yeah?"

"You…you can tell when Naminé's lying right?"

"Most of the time," Riku nodded, leaning back against the wall.

"How?"

"She smiles."

"What?" Kairi wasn't expecting that. "But Naminé always smiles."

"It's hard to explain. Nine times outta ten she smiles when she lies, but it's…different."

"But you can tell," Kairi frowned.

"Like I said, Most of the time," Riku shrugged. "I just know her well enough that she knows better then to lie to me about most things."

"She lies to me though," Kairi said quietly.

"Because she hates worrying people, especially you, and doesn't want to be a burden," Kairi's head snapped up at the last word, eyes narrowed.

"That word's taboo in this house," The two teens jumped, not noticing that Cloud walked into the kitchen. "You know that Riku."

Riku shrugged. "She uses it herself. Isn't that why you moved back here?"

Cloud gave him a cold look but decided not to comment on it since the girl they were talking about just showed.

"Okay, we're ready," Naminé said.

"About time," Kairi jumped off the counter. She went to the door way, where her boyfriend was waiting. He was wearing a sort of vampire costume with a pumpkin covering the right side of his face. Kairi was impressed with the makeup job her cousin did. She made it seem like his skin pale with an ashen shadow around his eyes.

"Wow, Naminé if you ever get bored with sketching you should get into Movie Make-Up," Kairi said.

"Thanks, but he wouldn't sit still so that's why it took so long," Naminé said.

"Hey, the brush tickled," Sora pouted.

"Guys, we should get going, it's almost 8:30." Riku checked his watch. "If we're any later, Selphie will have our heads."

"Not if you use your good old 'Riku Charm'," Kairi elbowed him playfully.

"True."

"Oh! Before I forget, here Naminé," Kairi grabbed her cousin's hand, placing something in it. Naminé looked at it, confused.

"Why did you give me a key?" she asked. She already had a key to Kairi's place in case of an emergency so why would she give her another one?

"Selphie has a room in the back that's always kept locked during parties," Kairi explained. "To be honest, a majority of the group don't really care for them so whenever we get sick and tired of it we just go in there. When I told her you were moving here she got one cut for you."

"Wow, thanks," Naminé said, placing the key in a hidden pocket of her dress by her hip.

"Alright let's go," Sora said.

The group of friends made their way out. Naminé, however, held back. Her brother had a look that said he wanted to speak to her alone.

"What's wrong Cloud?" she asked.

"Just…" he ran a hand through his blonde spikes. "Be careful. If you start to get uncomfortable text me."

Naminé nodded.

"I'll be okay Cloud. It's not like Radiant Garden." Her brother visibly stiffened at her words, closing his eyes.

"Hey," she walked over to him, lightly touching his arm. "If I'm okay with it, you should be too. Besides, you have to let me grow up sometime Brother."

Just then, a car horn honked followed by shouts to hurry up.

"Right. Just…don't stay late," Cloud sighed.

"I know," Naminé hugged him before running out of the house.

'Why did I even bother to come here?' Roxas thought in annoyance.

"Hey cheer up Roxas, It's a party," The source of Roxas's annoyance said.

"I don't like party's." Roxas said, adjusting his mad hatter hat so it fell over his left eye slightly.

"You do, just not crowds," Axel, who was dress as Zorro minus the hat, said.

"Well this is really dull," Larxene rolled her eyes. She was dressed as a She-Devil, which everyone thought was fitting. Not that they would say it out loud of course.

"Don't be such a downer Babe."

"Go to hell," The blonde Jade green eyes traveled around the living room before narrowing at something. Roxas followed her gaze and saw the source of her annoyance. A girl with short dirty blond hair in a slutty cat costume was glaring at them. Actually, glaring at Larxene. Roxas recognized her as Ayden, a girl who had a huge crush on Axel to the point of obsession that she started wearing her hair like his current girlfriends, just minus the weird antenna strands.

"Hey!" Axel blinked when he felt the front of his shirt being pulled, his lips colliding with Larxene's. She pulled away after a few seconds saying, "I'm going to find Zexion and head outside. You better not set anything on fire."

"Would I do that?" Axel smirked. Larxene rolled her eyes before crushing her lips to his again then disappearing into the crowd.

"You two are so…" Roxas shook his head, not finding the words to describe them. Honestly he was used to it. He glanced at Ayden, whose face was red and looked like she wanted to hit something. Or someone.

"So, want scope out the place?"

"I already know what the place looks like Axel," Roxas rolled his eyes.

"But I don't, and I need to stretch my legs."

"Yeah, whatever. You just want to know where the alcohol is."

"Guilty." The redhead smirked.

Cloud sighed, placing his drink back on the counter.

"That's your third one, you okay?" he looked up to , his friend and owner of the bar he was at, giving him a concerned look.

"Yeah, just stressed." he said.

"About your sister again?"

"Yeah," Cloud ran a hand through his hair. "She went to a party with our cousin and their friends and-"

"-You don't want her to go," Tifa sighed, wiping down the counter. "Cloud, she's almost sixteen. You can't keep worrying over her like this."

"I know. She said basically the same thing."

"So what's the problem?" Cloud didn't answer right away. He brought his drink to his lips, draining the glass. Five minutes passed before he said anything.

"Something happened after we moved to Radiant Garden. More then one actually."

"What?" Tifa stopped, standing straighter to give him her full attention.

"Our Step-Father left. He left a note saying he didn't want to take care of Naminé anymore, but he still sends child support checks every month. Our brother ran away, but he sends a letter every now and then. A couple of his friends dropped out to find him," Cloud shook his head.

"Huh, I was wondering why I haven't seen that punk around since you got back," Tifa frowned. "But your step-father? I though he really cared about Naminé."

"Yeah, I think that's why when he left it hurt her so much then. To add to three family members walking out on her…"

"What's wrong?" Tifa didn't like the way his voice trailed off.

"She went to school for awhile when we moved. Thought it'd be good for her. But when she got invited to a party something happened. She hates being in crowds now because it makes her anxious, so I was surprised when she said she wanted to go."

"You think she'll be okay?"

"Like I said, Kairi's with her so I hope so."

Naminé backed against the wall, shaking her head.

'I-I can't do this' she thought. She was in the hallway that was by the kitchen. Surprisingly, not many people were there and the ones that were didn't pay attention.

It'd been an hour since her and the others arrived. Over time they got separated.

She placed her hand over her fast beating heart. Memories of a year ago that she wished she could forget kept flashing through her mind, making it hard to breath. Maybe she wouldn't be remembering this if she didn't have those coolers.

She was at a party that she had been invited too by a girl in her class. She was by herself-

No, she came with Sora, Riku, and Kairi. And she had other friends here also, she reminded herself.

That one guy wouldn't leave her alone. He kept following her-

No, she was safe here. No one was following her.

He ended up cornering her in a deserted hallway-

She's in a hall with people.

He grabbed her right arm, yanking her towards him-

'No, I'm in Twilight Town. I'm at Selphie's with my friends!' Naminé slid to the ground. 'I'm not in Radiant Garden. I'm not there. I'm okay, Nothing happened, nothing'

"I don't want to go back there, I don't, I don't." she didn't realise she said the last part aloud until he spoke.

"You won't go back. Come on, before you over-stress more."

Without thinking, she threw her self into Roxas's arms.

A/N: 11 pages! New record for me! Need to ask, Do you guys want me to do clarify more on what happened in Radiant Garden? If so, which part and I'll try to do it.

Chapter fact

This is the first chapter that the title isn't a line from the chapter itself, but the name of a song. Within Temptation, Somewhere.

Also, the fear of Nams cat is based off my friends reaction to my old kitten I used to have. They were terrified of him XD
