Blank Sketch

by Fruity-Fruit-Cups

For Wishing-Fire's 100 AU challenge. What if Naminé wasn't Kairi's Nobody? What if she was more than just a shadow, more than just the lonely girl wishing to be something she wasn't? As her life changes, the pages of her sketchbook slowly fill up.

Yeah, my own personal theory is that Princesses of Heart can sense darkness. And at this point, Maleificent's all "ohey Riku if you go kidnap Jasmine I'll tell you where Naminé is." and Riku's all "...fine." She doesn't tell Riku that Naminé is there, because he'd probably just take her and run away and she can't have that happening. She doesn't entirely have Riku's trust yet, so she needs to get it before getting Naminé.

Joy

Naminé had always been a fast healer, and before long, she was back to normal. While Jasmine was still upset with her going behind her back and making herself sick, she gave Naminé a bit more freedom.

One day, Jasmine called Naminé to come to her room, not the library.

This wasn't normal. Something was wrong.

"You called for me?" Naminé asked, silently slipping into the extravagant bedroom.

Jasmine sighed, and looked off into the distance. "Have you been able to feel it?"

"Feel what?"

Jasmine's face hardened, stony and emotionless. "The darkness. It's growing."

Naminé blinked. She hadn't sensed anything different…then again, maybe Jasmine was just more powerful than her.

"I fear that the Heartless are going to take this world as well." Jasmine said, placing her hand against the window, eyes shining with sadness. "If that happens, I want you to leave."

…Was the rush of joy lighting up Naminé's heart bad?
