A/N: Hi everyone! I'm playing KH 358/2 Days again just to remember how things were and to try something on this chapter. Thank you for all the reviews and I want to thank Gold Phantom for giving me a tip. I'm planning to use it… but not yet.
Chapter 5
Roxas woke up after losing consciousness. He now remembers what he has to do. He has to rescue Naminé and run far away from the Organization and to protect her forever. But he couldn't just go and rescue her. The Organization would probably follow him and the whole plan will be in vain. He had to go covered; he needed an excuse to go there. But what could it be? 'Maybe Xion can help me with that. I'll ask her on the Clock Tower.'
Roxas got to the Grey Area and decided to go on a mission just to talk to Xion about the plan to rescue Naminé. 'Maybe she could distract the others while I rescue Naminé. I really have to talk to her, but… about yesterday…' Without him realizing, he was already in front of Saïx.
"These are your missions for today, XIII. Please choose one and depart immediately."
Roxas chose a simple mission. To identify a Heartless and destroy it. 'Simple one! But I may need some support.' He went to get some elixirs, ethers and panaceas just in case.
"What do you want, kuppo?"
"I'm gonna need some elixirs, ethers and panaceas."
"No problem, kuppo."
"Thanks… kuppo."
'What did I say that? …maybe I should get over with it…'
Roxas realized that the mission was supposed to be at Destiny Islands, a new world for him. 'Maybe this will be a long day…' Roxas opened a dark corridor and went inside of it. At Destiny Islands, he started looking for the Heartless and discovered that this world was infested of Shadows and Neo-shadows. When he got rid of plenty of Neo-shadows he was almost out of breath. 'I knew bringing some support would be useful…' He used an elixir to recover himself from the last wave of Heartless. He then heard a girl screaming near the shore and run to it.
"HELP ME! PLEASE!"
He saw a redhead screaming for help while some Neo-shadows were surrounding her. He quickly summoned a Samurai Nobody to help him got rid of the Heartless. In matter of seconds there were no more Heartless.
"Are you okay?"
The girl looked straight into his eyes and he got lost in her blue eyes. 'She has the same eyes Xion has'.
"Yeah… I'm fine… Thank you…"
"Don't thank me… I was not supposed to rescue you…"
"But you did… by the way, I'm Kairi. Have we met somewhere else before?"
"No, we haven't… I must go, stay out of trouble."
Roxas started to walk away, but as soon as he got to the shore he found a Darkside in front of the point to RTC.
"I guess you're the Heartless I'm looking for."
Roxas summoned again a Samurai Nobody and started to fight against the Darkside. In matter of minutes Roxas defeated the Darkside and earned a great amount of hearts. His Samurai Nobody was passed out, a small sacrifice for a greater good. 'Now let's go see Xion!'
Roxas got to Twilight Town and bought a sea-salt ice cream. He was seating on the edge of the Clock Tower as usual. He then heard someone coming upstairs, it was obvious that was Xion.
"Hi, Roxas!"
"Hi, Xion. I need to-"
Xion didn't let him finish his sentence, she smashed her lips against his. After kissing each other for about a minute, they broke the kiss.
"Xion… I need to ask you a favor…"
"Anything!"
"I need you to cover me while I'm going to Castle Oblivion. I need to rescue her!"
Xion got depressed at what Roxas said. She was sure that the feeling that she had was love, but now that feeling has been torn into pieces.
"You mean Naminé, right? Do you… love her?"
"I don't know… I was supposed to take care of her… I'm her guardian!"
"I know…, but… what about us?"
"That's why I need you!"
Xion's mood changed to a happy one. 'He just said he needs me! I'm so happy!'
"I need to go on a mission with you so I can go to Castle Oblivion without been discovered… could you do me that favor?"
Again, Xion was sad, sad enough to begin crying. 'Why is he doing this to me?!'
"Maybe you should think about it, Xion. Could you give me an answer tomorrow morning?"
Xion just nodded, she could feel tears staring to form. She wanted to cry so badly. With that, Roxas opened a dark corridor to his room. If he wanted to rescue Naminé, he had to be in good conditions.
Xion was alone at Clock Tower. Alone again. Tears were running down her cheeks. She had to do something but she didn't know what. She knew that the feeling to Roxas was love, but he didn't love her back. 'He loves Naminé… that… that witch!'
At Castle Oblivion, Sora, Donald and Goofy were almost on the thirteenth floor, Vexen and Larxene were dead by the hands of Axel and Sora.
"Now what, Marluxia?"
"I don't know! This wasn't supposed to happen! His heart should be mine by now!"
"Your whole plan was a mess already. If it wasn't for Naminé you wouldn't be here."
"What are you talking about, Axel?"
"I guess it's time to tell the truth. You ARE NOT Marluxia. You're just a REPLICA!"
"That's not true!"
"Ask the witch if you don't believe me… if you can trust her…"
Axel got out of the room and Marluxia was heading to the White Room. When he got there, Naminé was chaining Sora's new memories.
"Tell me, Naminé. Am I real?!"
Naminé was scared and she just shook her head.
"I see."
He just got out of the room without saying anything. Naminé was scared of what could happen to her, he knew that Sora might save her, but she wanted to be Roxas who rescues her.
It was early on the morning, Roxas getting everything ready so he can go rescue Naminé without any problem about support items. He got to the Grey Area just to see Xion talking with Saïx. Xion finished talking with Saïx and walk towards Roxas who purchasing some magic in case he had to fight Larxene, Axel or Marluxia.
"Morning, Xion!"
"Morning, Roxas. I've already talked to Saïx and he says it's ok to go on a mission with you. But, one condition, we have destroys two Darksides."
"That'll be easy! Let's go!"
Roxas and Xion parted to Destiny Islands again to find and destroy the two Darksides. When they got there, it was same as usual, infested with Shadows and Neo-shadows. They both summoned their keyblades and started to destroy the Heratlesses. In matter of time, they both found the two Darksides.
Roxas summoned two of his Samurai Nobodies to help Xion destroy the other Darkside, in matter of minutes, both Darksides were destroyed.
"Now… I have to go to Castle Oblivion." Roxas opened a dark corridor.
"Please don't go, Roxas." Xion hugged him as tight as she could with tears on her eyes.
"I'm so sorry… but I have to go… good-bye Xion." Roxas released himself from Xion and stepped into the dark corridor. When it was closing, he saw Xion crying and he cried too.
Once on Castle Oblivion, Roxas entered the castle looking for any evidence of Naminé. He saw the walls almost destroyed due to a battle.
'What happened here? I just hope Naminé is alright.' He took an elixir to recover himself from the last battle. He summoned his keyblade and yelled.
"NAMINÉ!"
That yell made everyone to realize that Castle Oblivion has one more visitant. Now, a battle is coming up. Who will win? Will Roxas rescue Naminé or he'll fail trying? Will Axel have to fight his best friend? Will Xion just stay in Destiny Islands? Find out… on the next chapter.
