Chapter 15

Roxas~

I ran into the tree line, tripping over my own feet as well as roots and stones.

I was so weak. I was drowning in pain meds and mako. I was so tired. I could barley stay awake walking down the hall at home, how the heck do I keep conscious running through the woods?

The answer is: I don't.

I collapsed only about a hundred yards from the edge of the forest.

"Wake up." someone whispered.

I opened my eyes, but everything was foggy.

"Oh, good." the voice said.

My vision cleared and leaning over me was one of the most beautiful girls I'd ever seen.

Cross that, THE most beautiful girl I'd ever seen.

She had wavy, sunbeam colored hair that framed a porcelain face. Sparkling, dusty blue eyes gazed down at me. Pale lips curved in a smirk.

Angel? Though she couldn't hear my thoughts, I still felt like a complete idiot.

"My name's Naminé." she put her hand to her collar.

I mouthed words like I do when I get flustered.

Naminé tittered and raised her hand to my face, gently stroking my cheek. I felt a burning sensation.

I winced. Naminé smiled again.

She closed my eyes, I was too paralyzed to breathe.

Third Person~

The children sat beside the boy. They had been taking a walk when they heard a large crash. The source had been a teenage boy.

The girl-only about eight or nine-quickly found some herbs for his cuts and bruises.

They waited.

The girl toyed with her braided brown hair and the boy-thirteen, perhaps?-fidgeted with some old gauze on his right hand.

"He kind of looks like Cloud." the girl noted. Her companion looked over and observed the teen.

"You're right. Maybe he's related to him..."

The older boy's face twitched in his sleep.

"Should we try to wake him up?" the girl asked. The other child (young teen, excuse me!) cocked his head slightly.

"Mm...yeah, we shou-" he noticed the boy's necklace "Oh my g-"

"Denzel!" the girl scolded. Denzel shook his head.

"Look...this was Aerith's." he pointed at the chain.

The boy laying on the ground was disturbed by the commotion of the two, and woke up.

Riku~

I stood outside the old church. My parents were arguing behind me.

I stared up at the church, wondering how it was still in one piece, when I saw Xion sneak up the steps and through the door.

I waited a while but she didn't come out. I got worried.

I walked inside.

Xion~

The man began to walk forward.

I looked around and found a sword. It seemed to be made up of six different blades. I raised the weapon. "Don't get any closer!" I called "I've got a sword!"

Was my voice really shaking that much?

The man was in front of me now.

"Calm yourself." he said in a low, wise voice.

"Who are you?" I demanded, trying to sound at least remotely threatening.

But I dropped my sword.

"I am a friend, don't worry."

"I meant your name." I clarified quietly.

"Angeal." he replied and disappeared, leaving me to wonder if he had meant "Angel" and if not, how ironic his name was.

"Xion!" a voice called. I looked up and saw Riku running towards me.

"Oh, hi Riku." I greeted.

"What are you doing here?" he asked.

"Looking around, waiting for my parents." I shrugged "How 'bout you?"

We began walking up the isle to the door.

"I'm waiting for my parents, too. They're arguing over...something..."

We got outside.

"Hm...I don't think I've met your parents."

Riku laughed dryly. "You don't want to."

"Riku!" someone yelled. I looked around and a very undesirable sight met my eyes: the silver-haired man from the funeral was stalking towards us. He stopped in front of us and I saw a petite woman with silver hair and a bored expression behind him.

Riku glared.

"What do you want, dad?"

Riku~

My dad clamped his hand on my shoulder.

"Riku, don't run off like that." he growled, I rolled my eyes.

"Who's your friend?" Mom asked.

"This is Xion Strife." I grumbled.

Mom raised her eyebrows "Ooh, Strife? Heh, Sephy, the daughter of your enemy is Riku's girlfriend!" she laughed.

"She's not my girlfriend!" I shouted.

"Shut up Paine!" my father growled (he does that a lot)

Mom looked at her watch. "We've got to go, Seph."

Dad nodded and steered me towards the car.

I ran my fingers through my silver hair, inherited from both halves of the post-bickering pair with me.

In contrast to their genders, my father had long, straight hair while my mother had a short, spiky 'do. And, like they don't mortify me enough, they always where black leather.

In the car Dad started to lectured me.

"Riku, I want you to stay away from that girl."

"Why?" I demanded.

"I don't like the Strifes."

"But-!"

"No."

"At least give me a reasonable why not."

Dad sighed "You see, Cloud Strife is at the very bottom of all human existence. So far below us, him and his child, they aren't even worth mentioning. But Cloud can't except that. So he tries to be a hero, but only succeeds in getting in the real heroes' ways."

I shook my head. "I don't care about your petty rivalry with Cloud Strife. It has nothing to do with me."

I was sitting in the seat behind passenger so I could see Dad's face.

He smirked.

Roxas~

This time when I opened my eyes, I didn't see Naminé. Two kids knelt beside me.

The girl had a long braid tied up in a pink ribbon. She wore a sleeveless white dress. The boy had wavy light brown hair that partially covered a bruise on his forehead.

"Oh, good. Your awake!" the girl smiled.

I nodded cautiously.

"What's your name?" she asked.

I pointed to my throat and shook my head.

"You...can't talk?" the boy interpreted.

I nodded. He pulled a notebook out of his cargo pocket, along with a pencil.

'My name's Roxas.'

"I'm Marleen!" the girl piped. She pointed at the boy. "He's Denzel."

"Why were you unconscious in the woods?" Denzel wondered.

'I'm injured and on medication. I overexerted myself.'

"Where did you get that necklace?" he pointed at the silver trinket.

'My dad.'

"Do you know where he got it?"

"Denzel." Marleen put her hand on his shoulder.

"Marleen, I'v got to know what happened to Aerith!"

My eyes just about popped outta my head.

'Aerith? Aerith Gainsborough?'

Denzel nodded "Do you know her?"

'She's my mother.'

They beamed. "Where is she?"

I looked down and wrote 'She's dead.'

Hahaha! I bet I blew all of your minds! Yes, Riku's dad is Sephiroth! Paine and Sephiroth were really OOC but I guess parenthood can do that to ya. Also, I don't really know Paine's personallity. I havn't played in FF games she was in and didn't pay much attention to the Gullwings in KH, only wondered why they were super-annoying faries. And I'll explain why Denzel and Marleen are still kids...later. And to anyone who played CC, you know who Angeal is.

Is Naminé evil? Perhaps, perhaps...mwahahahahaha!

...maybe I'm the evil one. O.O
