Chapter Two – The Keyblade Master

Namine finally had an identity. She was no longer no one, she felt complete. Well, almost, but to her, almost was good enough in this case.

Although she still couldn't travel outside of room, the three residents of the castle she knew visited her more often now. Larexene was cold hearted, and quite frankly, mean, but Namine still enjoyed her company, only because it was better than being alone.

The redheaded member of the group, Axel, didn't regularly visit Namine, even if he did happen to stop by, he usually didn't have much to say at all. Still, Namine enjoyed his company.

But Marluxia's company is what Namine craved the most. He made her feel like she was the single most important person in the world. He visited her the most out of the three.

Even when he couldn't because of other things he needed to attend to, he sent Larexene to deliver all sorts of beautiful flowers she had never seen before. Not only were they beautiful and smell heavenly, but what really caught Namine's eye were the colors. The only other place Namine had seen those kind of colors were in the colored pencils box Larexene gave to her.

Lately, Namine had noticed that she had been drawing the same brown, pointing haired boy in her sketch book. Not only that, she had also began drawing two other characters as well. One was a pretty redhead girl with blue eyes. The other was a boy who was older than the other two; he had sliver hair and aqua eyes.

Although Namine didn't understand this, she continued to draw the pictures that played in her mind. Because it made Marluxia happy.

Namine couldn't explain what happens when she thinks about Marluxia. Her chest begins to ache, but doesn't hurt her at all, in fact it gives her a wonderful feeling that she just can't express in words.

Namine's thoughts were interrupted as Axel appeared through the black portal. "Hello, Axel." The man had his arms crossed against his chest, usually a sign that he was thinking. His eyes traveled to Namine. "Yo." At least this time he had actually acknowledged her. Most times, he did not.

"Is something wrong?" Axel shook his head. "Not at all." In truth, something was wrong, very wrong.

Axel knew that Marluxia was simply just using Namine to get to the keyblade warrior, Sora. He wanted to tell Namine to get out of the castle as fast she could run. He wanted to save her from the fate that could possibility wipe her from extinction completely. He wanted to tell her that Marluxia was just playing with her feelings.

Why did he want to save her? Because she reminded him of his old friend.

Honestly, Axel didn't want to lose her like he lost him. He didn't think he could handle it again.

But he couldn't do a thing. He may as well be as helpless as Namine was. And he was.

Namine continued to stare up at Axel. She could feel he was lying but she did not want to press him. She looked back down at her lap as soon as Axel noticed she was staring.

"What? Have I got something on my face?" He joked, trying to lift her and his spirits up. It worked, Namine giggled softly, but then she became serious again.

"Axel, what was your life before Castle Oblivion?" This question took Axel by surprise.

"Nothing much to tell, princess." And with that, the talking stopped. But Namine never stopped asking him. Ever time he visited her; she'd asked him the same question. And he always gave the same answer.


"Axel, why does Castle Oblivion exist?" It seemed that Namine had one more question that straddled Axel.

At first, Namine didn't actually think he would answer so she turned her eyes back to her drawing. "Castle Oblivion exists because of the Keyblade Master." Namine looked back up at Axel. "What?"

"The Keyblade Master." Axel didn't hate Sora, not at all. But he didn't want Sora to take his best friend away, even if Sora didn't know it. "Who's that?"

"Let's just say that he's the key." Namine wanted to question Axel further about this 'Keyblade Master' but was stopped as Marluxia stepped into the room. "Greetings, Namine, Axel." Once again, Namine feel her cheeks turn red. Axel mentally glared at Marluxia for ruining the actually first real conversion he and Namine were having. Still, Axel smirked at him. "Hey, Marluxia." "H-hello, Marluxia."

Marluxia turned his gaze to Namine. "How's our special guest doing?" he asked, taking a lock of Namine's hair and twisting it between two fingers. This made her cheeks glow even more. "I am doing well. Thank you." Namine's blushed made Marluxia smirk. Axel stood there doing nothing. It wasn't like he could actually do something about it.

Marluxia began to stroke Namine's lips with his gloved hand, Axel could have puked. That man was sickening; he was flirting with a girl years younger than him. Meanwhile, Namine's blushes worsen as Marluxia did so. Lucky, Larexene appeared through a black portal before Marluxia could go further.

Axel silently thanked Larexene in his mind. Marluxia quickly moved away from Namine, leaving her face completely red. "Yes Larexene?" Marluxia asked, recomposing himself. "Ya might want to play with princess later, Sora's almost here."

"Is that so? Well then, Namine, until next time." He said, bowing quickly and disappearing with Larexene into the black portal. Namine turned to Axel. "Sora…?"

Axel nodded. "Yeah." Namine continued to stare at him. "You mean Sora is…" Axel nodded again.

"Yes, Sora is the Keyblade Master I was talking about earlier." Namine looked down to her sketch book. She grabbed it and flipped it back to the first page. She held it up to Axel so he could see. "Is this…is this him?"

Axel almost burst out laughing from that picture. But he held it inside long enough to study the drawing carefully.

Although it was badly drawn, he could still tell that it was, indeed, the young Keyblade Master. Slowly, he nodded to Namine. "That's the one. Love his hair by the way." Axel told her, smirking to himself. "Oh." Was her only response.

How could she have known what Sora looked like if she had never met him in her life? This confused her to no end, that night she couldn't even sleep at all.
