She dreamt of him later on that night. She couldn't describe how much she wanted to hold him, to see him smile, to see him in general! Amaya was doing exactly what Xehenort had told her not to do, getting involved with the boy.

"Amaya! Amaya!"

She jolted awake as she was shaken by two strong hands. It was Xehenort.

"What time is it?" She asked confused and dazzled because of the silver haired boy in her dream.

"Don't play dumb girl. What where you doing with Ienzo?" He asked her menacingly.

"It was nothing." She replied yawning.

"Dilan said that he saw you running into the bathroom with him. YOU CAME OUT SOAKED!" He yelled.

"He accidently spilled some hydrochloric acid on me and he took the proper safety precautions. That's all." She snapped back.

"Remember Amaya. Stay away from that boy. Who knows what will happen over the next few months. Don't get too close to anyone. I mean it." He said firmly as he slammed the door behind him.

Amaya smiled to herself. She knew that he couldn't stop her from talking to Ienzo and he couldn't control her and keep them away from each other at all times. She smiled to herself and fell back asleep.

The next day Amaya was cleaning the kitchen when Ienzo walked in.

"Hey. I wanted to thank you again for what you did yesterday." Amaya told him with a smile on her face.

Ienzo walked right past her and opened the refrigerator door. She waited for something, anything, just to hear him speak to her, but there was nothing as he turned around with a can of Pepsi and closed the fridge. She watched him as he left the room not even acknowledging that she was there.

Why would he do that? What had gotten into the sweet boy who was so kind to her? She sat down in a chair and let out a sigh. Then, she got it.

"Xehenort!" She yelled rushing down the hallway and searching for him.

She found him just outside of the lab getting ready to go down, but stopped when he saw her.

"What can I do for you my dear?" He asked her.

"What did you say to him?"

"To who?"

"You know damn well to who!"

"Oh, the boy. I said that he had no use speaking to you."

"So you basically threatened him."

"Think of it as a fatherly advice and looking out for you" Xehenort said with a smile as he walked down to the lab.

Amaya stared angrily at the door, hoping that he'd feel it, but she sighed and turned down the hall and walked away.
