Roxas

Roxas was inside the Castle That Never Was as he was wearing his Organization XIII coat. He looked around in confusion as he wondered where he was currently. It finally hit him that he was inside the Soundless Prison which was inside the heart of the castle.

His attention was suddenly caught by the sight of SaÏx, Xehanort, and Xemnas whom were surrounding and surveying the prison cell that was in front of them.

Roxas was filled with rage at the mere sight of the three as he began to charge at them with a fist at the ready. He threw a punch and as both his fist and body fazed right through Xehanort's body.

This caught Roxas off guard as he fell onto his hands and knees onto the floor. Roxas got back up as he waved his hand in front of Xehanort's face but got no attention in return. He then tried to poke Xehanort on his side of his body, but the finger fazed into his side.

"What is this?" Roxas asked himself as he tilted his head to the left in confusion of what was going on at that moment.

Xehanort's mouth was moving but words weren't coming out from it as if he was on mute or something. Soon enough, Roxas' attention was brought to the cage, which was in front of him, as a man in an Organization XIII coat was struggling on the floor in pain. Roxas was still confused from all of the things that were occurring. It was as if Roxas was deaf.

All of a sudden, his head ached and two voices started to speak from within his own mind: a demon-like voice and a woman's voice. Both voices made Roxas' shiver with goosebumps running up his spine and throughout his body.

(Stop… Fighting it...), the demonic voice said as he sounded like he was struggling.

(No! You won't take control of me! I won't let you!), the woman's voice yelled back in rebellion.

(Oh? But I will…), the demonic replied to her before his attention was grabbed away, (Sorry, Sir. This thing is a lot tougher than I expected.)

Roxas looks at the man in a cage who was standing up but his body seemed to look conflicted. It was almost as if he was being held back by something or someone from within himself. Roxas began to flinch in pain as the voices in his head began to continue.

The demonic voice said, (I'm trying but I don't have enough strength to fully control it-)

Suddenly the demonic voice was cut off in mid-sentence by the feminine voice, (Nor will you get the chance!)

Roxas fights though the pain to see Xehanort had summoned his Keyblade and had aimed the tip of it in front of the man's chest in cage.

(NO! Please don't do this! I need to get back to him!), the feminine voice started to plead in a struggle to gain control.

(Nope! We need you for our plan. You BELONG to US now! And you will help us to take him down as well.), the demonic voice replied happily in a sinister way before he began to laugh in an evil joy.

Xehanort shoots an orb from his Keyblade as Roxas shouts out, "NOOOOOOO!"

The orb hits man dead center in the chest.

The voices stopped, the whole image of the Soundless Prison broke into shards as if it was made of glass, and Roxas began to fall into a black void.

Roxas' eyes were wide open in disbelief as if something within him had died.

As Roxas began to fall, a tear had shed from his eyes subconsciously.

Suddenly, Roxas heard the feminine voice.

(If you can hear me, then please…. Save me.)

Suddenly, two giant golden eyes opened up in front of him and stared at him.

(You will die…), the demonic voice said.

After said that, Roxas felt his body slowly squeezed to death and before he dies he wakes up from his nightmare with a jolt in his body.

His eyes flew open and he immediately sat up in bed as his body was filled with nothing but cold sweats. He was breathing very deeply and heavily, almost to the point of where he was hyperventilating, and his heartbeat didn't want to slow down or soften up. His entire being had gone into shock and his mind didn't want to respond and his soul felt like it was withering away in fear. He didn't know what to do as this was the first time this had happened to him. His mind had begun to shut down and his vision had begun to fade away into the black.

But suddenly, his vision has snapped back into reality as his name was called by Naminé, "Roxas!"

His mind had just been brought back into reality as he blinked and looked at Naminé as she was at the side of his bed worried about him with her gorgeous face almost tearing up.

"Naminé?..." Roxas croaked out to her as his mind had finally started to kick back into gear.

Naminé had flung herself onto him as Naminé landed head first into his stomach; Roxas had received one of the warmest hugs that he had ever received in his life. His mind was still groggy on what was going on, but his body warmed up really quickly as he soon came to his senses as he realized that she was crying.

"What's wrong?" Roxas croaked out.

Naminé looked up at Roxas as she gave him a panicked stare. Her pupils were shivering with fear as tears were still in her eyes, and her body was vibrating all over. She sat up with angst; she looked down at her hands as she squeezed them tightly.

Finally, Naminé looked straight into his eyes, "Y-You almost died."

"What?" Roxas croaked.

"Your skin was pale and, when I touched it, it became extremely cold. Your breathing started to slow down to a few inhales. It was creepy and just frankly scary," Naminé explained to Roxas, "And I thought you were going to die, until you had sat up in a death-like state. You had that stare as if you were possessed by s-s-someone o-o-or s-s-something."

Naminé started to break out in sobs as she went for another hug, "I thought I lost you…"

Roxas looked at Naminé as she hugged his body and shed tears on his left thigh, which was covered by his blanket. He stared at her for moment and then he began to smile in sympathy and comfort.

He places his left hand on Naminé's head as he began to pat and stroke her head," Hey. I'm not going to die anytime soon, I promise."

Naminé sniffs as she looks at Roxas, "You promise?..."

"I promise," Roxas replies with his eyes closed and a soft smile.

Roxas opens his eyes to find a sudden connection between their lips. As Roxas felt her lips upon his, his heart began to flutter and melt. He began to feel slow and stupid, as he usually does, and began to close his eyes. He eventually gave into his feelings as he let his heart drift deeper into the kiss.

For what seemed like eternity, the two of them kissed as if it was the end of the world and there was nobody but the two of them. Roxas wanted to this moment to continue on for eternity, never letting this kiss end.

But in the end Roxas felt sad as soon as Naminé's lips departed from his.

With a disgruntled huff on his face as he looked to the left and away from her, he asked her with a discontented tone, "Why'd you stop?"

Naminé replied with a giggle, "Because, I thought you'd be hungry. I mean, you did just wake up from a three-day sleep."

"What? Me hungry? No way!" Roxas replied in denial, but then he looked at Naminé as he pulled himself closer to her face, "Besides, the only thing that I'm hungry for is another kiss from you."

Roxas slowly leaned in for another kiss as Naminé began to madly blushing and closed her eyes in anticipation of his kiss. As soon as their lips met again, both Roxas and Naminé heard a loud growl coming out from Roxas, which had caused Roxas to stop in his tracks.

Roxas' face began to glow with three different shades of red as he looked away from her in embarrassment. Meanwhile, Naminé looked at Roxas with a surprised look in her eyes as she started to slowly lose herself in laughter as she giggled at Roxas' embarrassment. Naminé then leaned down to the side of his bed as she grabbed a plate that was filled with food that was unfamiliar to him. The food looked like yellow fluffy clouds that had brown diced square of meat stuck to the clouds.

"What is this?" Roxas asked her.

"It's something new that the new person cooked up. It's surprisingly good, go ahead, take a bite out of it," Naminé replied to him with a gentle smile on her face.

Roxas took the plate that Naminé handed to him and analyzed it for a bit as he slowly grabbed the fork that was placed on the plate next to the food. He took a chunk of the fluffy yellow cloud and placed it in his mouth. Immediately, Roxas dropped his fork as it hit his plate. His eyes widened with utter shock and disbelief as he chewed his food and swallowed it, and then he looked back onto his plate.

"W-What is this?!" Roxas asked Naminé in complete awe.

"Sorry, but I wasn't listening to the person who made the food," Naminé replies as her eyes glances to her left as her voice had a slightly embarrassed tone, "You're going to have to ask the person himself."

"Who is this guy?" Roxas asked her.

"I don't know. He just woke up a little earlier and decided to make breakfast for us as a thank you for his life. Ax—I mean Lea was the one who saved him along with a critically injured Riku," Naminé explained.

For some odd reason, this made Roxas perk up. He didn't know if it was because of Kairi and Sora who were still inside of his body or if it was his own feelings, but this urged Roxas to want to go check up on Riku. He decided quickly eat the rest of the delicious food as he scarfed down the rest of the fluffy yellow and white clouds.

As he looked up at Naminé, he instantly felt the food drop down into his stomach as his body quickly took in the necessary nutrients that his body needed. He suddenly, but calmly released a swift burp. Naminé caught the subtle burp as she began to snicker at him which made Roxas slightly blush.

But as soon as he felt completely satisfied, Roxas placed the plate next to him as he swung his body out of bed.

Worried for Roxas, Naminé asked him, "Are you sure you're alright?"

Roxas replied with confidence a he clenched his fist, "Yep! I'm feeling twice as better already. And I don't feel nauseous anymore."

Roxas raised his hand in an outward motion as he tried to summon his Keyblade into his right hand. His Keyblade, from the hilt to the tip of the blade, began to slowly materialize in a waving motion of Light. But as soon as the Kingdom Keyblade had nearly taken its shape, the whole materialization failed as the Light energy disbursed from his hand. He tried again but same thing reoccurred.

Roxas shook it off as if it was nothing as he looked at Namine and gave a friendly chuckle while he scratched the back of his head, "Hehe, I guess I'm not at 100 percent right now."

"It's fine, as long as you're not dead," Naminé replied with an endearing chuckle and smile.

Roxas suddenly went silent as he could hear a few voices that travelled through the door that led to Master Yen Sid's office. Distracted by what seemed to be a conversation, Roxas started to head towards the exit.

"Where are you going?" Naminé asked curiously.

Roxas hushed her, "It sounds like the Master is having a conversation."

Roxas gently placed his ear against the door to try to listen to the conversation that was going on in the other side of the door. Although, he was listening through the door, Roxas was able to make out some words from the conversation. He heard the words "food" and "grateful" and he already knew that Master Yen Sid was talking to the person that made the scrumptious food.

Roxas opened the door to find a man standing in front of Master Yen Sid. The man was wearing a hooded armored sweater that was Dove white all around. He was carrying four silver pistol holsters as the straps crossed reach other. The holsters were located at both sides of his hips and at the top of the pictorial muscles near the clavicles. The man's hood covered his eyes as all you could see was his nose and below. The zipper of the hoodie was in the center as near the top of the zipper had open flaps that were capable of buttoning up for the cold climate and underneath the hoodie you could see a white shirt. He carries a Katana on his back in a diagonally with the hilt of the sword sticking out of his right shoulder. He wears white jeans that have carrying cases strapped on his thighs that matched his jeans, and white mid-top shoes. Behind the man, Lea, King Mickey and Ventus standing a couple feet behind him in a single row formation as everybody in the room looked at Roxas' direction.

The Master's face was dead pan serious before Roxas caught his attention.

The Master looked at Roxas as his facial expression quickly changed into a smile, " Ah, Roxas! I'm glad that you have woken up. You look better."

Roxas felt awkward about the treatment the Master is giving him, "Yeah. Thanks."

Roxas shifted his attention towards the hooded man, "So, um, who is he?"

Master Yen Sid looked back at the mysterious man, "That's what we want to we want to find out. But he won't tell us. Not even a name…"

The mysterious man suddenly began to move as he reached to his hood. The Keyblade wielders behind him quickly materialized their Keyblades in an instinctive reaction to his sudden movement. The man stopped as the tip of each Keyblade was pointed at his head, but after a second's worth of hesitation the man took off his hoodie.

The man had dark-brown, wavy hair as the sides of his head we buzzed into a size one and the top was combed over to the left side of his ovular head. The man had a medium tanned skin that complimented his deep dark-brown eyes and a mole on left side of his upper lip and his medium-sized nose.

"My name is Sam," the mysterious man suddenly replied in a middle toned voice with a soft smile.

(A/N: I chose the name Sam because it is one of the easiest names to remember, but as well for another reason. But that reason is a spoiler, so I have to keep it hushed. Sorry... ^.^)
