(A/N: And here's Chapter 16. Sorry for the long wait! I was busy with the real world, I kinda forgot about the story... Dx ANYWAYS, I hope you enjoy this Chapter. And again, sorry for the wait.)

Roxas

Roxas woke up in state of panic. After a few seconds, Roxas started to calm down as he lay in bed feeling nauseous. His head ached and his whole body felt like regurgitating itself inside-out. His own body was under a sheet of blanket as his body was still suffering from a slight fever.

(Water.), He thought to himself as he started to move his body to get out of the bed.

But he immediately stopped as he finally felt something, or rather of fact; someone was clinging onto his left arm tightly from underneath the covers. Roxas decided to lift the cover to take a look at who was there. He was surprised that it was Naminé who was happily clinging tightly onto him in a white silky night gown.

Roxas was surprised that she was even sleeping in the same bed that he was, but at the same time he felt rather joyful and glad that she was expressing her feelings about him. Finally, his nausea brought him back to reality and, unfortunately, he had to get her to release his arm from captivity.

Even though he needed to get his arm free from her, the task was a lot more difficult than he realized when he saw her adorable angelic face smiling happily and worry-free. She looked too relaxed and happy hugging his arm that he was tempted to roll up the covers and to cuddle up with her as they would sleep together for the very first time. Unfortunately, that strong emotion was rudely dismissed by the even stronger motion of nausea that washed over him as he felt a bit of vomit try to escape his mouth.

Roxas sadly and carefully attempted to release his arm from her locking arms when suddenly he felt a rush of sudden goosebumps when Naminé tighten her grip on his left arm.

Roxas, again, carefully attempted to release the tight squeeze on his arm, and this time he got himself out. Unfortunately, when Roxas' arm left Naminé's arms, her facial expression changed from happy to sad, and that made him feel sad and guilty which was met with nausea.

"Sorry…," Roxas softly croaked to Naminé in her ear.

Roxas slowly, steadily, and quietly got himself out of bed without waking Naminé up. As soon as he got up, his body started to shiver like crazy. As his warm skin was met with the cold atmosphere of the room, his teeth wouldn't stop jittering away. He wanted jump back into bed, but his nausea convinced him to continue on.

He slowly and steadily wobbled towards the door as his field of vision tilted from side to side from the nausea. Roxas eventually got to the door as he opened it as slowly and quietly he possibly could. He made it out of the room, and magically the lights turned on automatically in the next room. That was when he realized that the room was right next to the Master's office. Roxas knew that the nausea was really affecting him because he was surprised of this fact.

Roxas continued to push through his nausea as he stumbled, bobbed, and weaved his way onto the exit of the office and up the stairways to reach the dining room.

Roxas soon entered the dining room; he had reached the kitchen as he felt his head start to get warmer. The nausea was not making this any better as he began realize that he had stopped sweating. He quickly stumbled his way towards the cabinets as he shuffled through the doors trying to find the cups before things got worse for him in his condition. He eventually found the glass cups and took one to fill it up with water.

As soon as he filled the glass with tap water, Roxas chugged the cool and refreshing water. After he finished with the water in his cup, he gasped for air out of satisfaction and he then filled the cup again. After he drank two glasses of water, he began sweating again. He finally went to go sit down in the dining table as he refilled his cup for the fourth time.

When he sat down in the chair in the dining table, he stared at his cup of water.

(It feels so surreal… Was it really a dream?), Roxas questioned to himself.

(Nope.), Kairi's voice suddenly rings inside of his mind.

The sudden intrusion of Kairi's voice inside of his head spooked him so much that he jumped in his seat and hit his knee on the bottom of the table.

"Ugh….," Roxas bellowed as he grabbed his knee in pain.

(Sorry), Kairi chuckled in a bit of solem, (Are you ok?)

(Yeah, I'm fine. It's just that I wasn't expecting your voice in my mind…),Roxas chuckled in pain, (So then all of that wasn't a dream? And I guess you're Sora's temporary replacement, huh?)

(No, it wasn't, and I'm here to heal him. Sorry for the surprise, I'll be getting back to my business.)

(Hey!), Roxas called out.

(Yeah?), she replied.

(How long do you think it'll take Sora to get better again?), Roxas asked with concern in his tone.

There was a long pause of silence but was finally broken when she replied, (I don't know.)

(Ok.), Roxas replied in a sad tone.

And with that, there was silence.

Roxas drank the rest of his cup and he shivered as the water ran down his throat and filled his stomach. He then grabbed his cup and placed it in the sink, before he started to walk towards the door leaving the dining room.

Roxas started to feel better as we slowly walked down the stairs. He still had his fever, headache and nausea but the symptoms started to ease. At the very least, He was able to walk again without stumbling around and his vision had begun to stabilize.

His mind was on Sora who was still in severe condition and he wondered what he could do to make things better. He finally reached the door to the office of Master Yen Sid. He quietly opened and closed the door as he entered the office. As soon as he reached around the corner of entrance hallway, there sat Master Yen Sid in his desk waiting for Roxas.

"I see you have finally awakened," Master Yen Sid said with a tiny amount of gratitude in his tone.

The master snaps his fingers and a chair standing against a wall began to magically walk to the Master's desk and placed itself there waiting for Roxas to sit down on it, "Sit down."

Roxas stood there for a second, but then began to walk towards the chair as he used the arm rests of the chair to gently lower his body to sit down.

There was a moment of silence as the two of them stared at each other awkwardly.

The Master was the first person to break the silence, "How are you feeling?"

Roxas looked at him with seriously confused face expression, "Why do you care? All you really care about is Sora."

"Yes, I do. Bu—," the Master was stern.

But that didn't bother Roxas, "Look! Ever since I switched bodies with Sora, all you've ever done was give nothing but scornful words and looks. Is this because I'm Sora's Nobody and that we Nobodies 'can't be trusted'?"

"Yes," The Master replied nonchalantly, "and your kind aren't to be trusted."

"The others from the old Organization, maybe, but me; you can trust me," Roxas replied to him.

"And why is that? How do we that you won't betray us?" Master Yen Sid questioned curiously.

There was a pause before Roxas answered back, "Because Sora didn't try to reject me. He accepted me when I tried to hurt him, and he is trying to help me become my own person. I feel indebted to him, but at the same time, he's like a brother to me. Without him, I wouldn't be here right now."

Master Yen Sid analyzed Roxas carefully as Roxas was truthfully expressing his reason.

"Fine, those are some reasonable reasons. But this doesn't mean I completely trust you," Master Yen Sid with a sigh.

"Whatever," Roxas replies as he begins to lift himself from his chair.

"Roxas." The Master stopped him.

"What?" He questioned back.

"What happened to you?" the Master asked.

"I don't know. I was having flashbacks…" Roxas was trying to remember.

"Flashbacks? About what?" The Master questioned.

"About when I was still in the old organization," He told the Master, "I was remembering about an old friend that I had…"

Once he thought about Xion, a small tear escaped his eye.

"Ah, it seems you were quite fond of him," the Master replied to him, "But it seems that there's something else that troubles you."

Roxas looks at him with a sad look in his eyes as he had a flashback of Xion kissing him. To him, it felt like a dream, but when he remembers about it, it felt way too real for it to be a dream. He touched his lips as he remembered the sensation of Xion's lips on his.

"Roxas!" The Master called to him to snap him out of his daydream.

Roxas replied sheepishly as he grabbed his head, "Sorry, I was lost in my thoughts. I'm not feeling too well at the moment."

"Is it because of Sora?" Master Yen Sid asked.

"Partially, but it's also me. There was something that ambushed me, and it was fueled by Darkness itself. Sora sensed it and tried to warn me, but I when I remembered my friend, that thing ambushed me and used its darkness against me to subdue my conscious while I was in a weak state."

"I see..," Master Yen Sid replied with concern in tone, "And where do you think this 'thing' come from."

"I believe it's from Xehanort, but I think it's gone," Roxas tugged on his chest, "I don't sense it, but it left me in a bad condition and with Sora in a critical condition."

"I see…," the Master replied in distraught.

"But luckily, Kairi is helping Sora to recover. She transferred her heart into my body-… Why does that sound weird?" Roxas lightly blushed as he scratched his head.

Master Yen Sid lightly chucked as he heard of the news, "Alright, I guess we could lay our trust onto Kairi's hands. Meanwhile, you should get some rest."

"Alright," Roxas began to slowly walk towards the door, but stopped as he was in front of it, "But one more thing…,"

"What is it?" The Master replied.

He told him as he turned himself around to face him, "I want to train as soon as I can."

Master Yen Sid looked at him analyzing stare, "As soon as you get better, we'll get you into training with Merlin to master the Keyblade."

"No, I don't need to Master the Keyblade. I just want to get more proficient with the Keyblade." He turns around and opens the door.

"I suppose...," The Master replied as Roxas entered the room and closed the door.

Roxas saw the bed and Naminé still in bed, facing towards his direction, sleeping.

Roxas slowly walked to the bed as he laid himself in bed as he covered himself in the blanket as he snuggled up to Naminé as he smiled and quickly fell asleep.
