Roxas never thought he'd be so happy to see this place again, but anything was better than the Realm of Darkness. He turned around a little as well, his grasp on Oblivion loose as his gaze darted around the people in the group. Every single expression seemed to show relief in some way, and that was a great thing to see. Kairi looked from Riku to Sora and Roxas, having felt their gazes on her. She felt her small smile grow a little, the girl linking her hands behind her back as she nodded to them both in appreciation. They saved them, and she couldn't be more relieved. Riku turned his head forward again when he saw Kairi's head motion, his eyes falling on the two identical pairs of eyes in front of him. He smirked slightly at their expressions, seeing how obvious it was on their faces how glad they were to be away from the Realm of Darkness.
Roxas felt a gaze on him and lowered his sight to Sora standing beside him. He saw the look on his friend's face and only smiled kindly, nodding once in understanding. His own expression seemed to say, Thanks. If Sora hadn't been so forward, they might not be alive, and it all would have been Roxas's fault.
Okie dokie, that's fine. See you later! =)
Roxas suddenly heard silence, the power that had been coursing through him diminishing. He opened his eyes, which widened once he realized where they were. He turned his head, immedately recognizing the room to be one in the warehouse. They did it! Kairi lowered her arms when something touched her heart, a feeling of peace and warmth combined. When she opened her eyes, she felt herself instantly smile. They were back home. Finally. Riku squinted out of one eye when his senses no longer detected a threat, the boy lowering his arm away from his face as he saw his friends standing near him, and not in the Realm of Darkness. Sora and Roxas's combined powers managed to get them out safely.
Yeah, that was bad. =/ And okie. Alrighty then.
Roxas felt warmth impact him immediately, and he knew what was happening. The Light he and Sora were focusing on, it was growing. Even behind his eyelids he could tell that light was growing, but he kept his hands on his blade, feeding the power as he helped Sora keep the shield up. However, it seemed like much more was happening now. Kairi brought up her arms to cover her face at the blinding light, though she was comforted at the sight. Sora and Roxas were working together, and something magical was happening. Riku squinted at the light, lifting his free hand to try and shield his eyes. But he knew that something powerful was happening, the brightness of the light growing and swallowing the area.
Ever since she got that I-don't-give-a-crap attitude, neither have I. Dx But it's an amazing song. x3
Kairi's blue eyes looked up, seeing the dome-like shield around them begin to glow. It's working! she thought with excitement. She wasn't sure what would happen, but with Roxas's help, the shield was getting stronger. Namine had taught Roxas one very important thing, something a Nobody could never even dream of experiencing. Love. She'd taught him to love, and with that love, he could feel his power grow. It motivated him to keep going when things were hard. His Light did. Namine did. And it was motivating him now, the boy fighting his inner Darkness to embrace his Light.
Fire Bomb - Rihanna obsessed now. :3
What about Fire Bomb? :3
Namine. That name echoed in Roxas's mind, the boy's eyes remaining closed as he felt his power pour through him and into his Keyblade. He felt the light breeze move his spikes, but he continued to focus on the girl he loved. She was the girl of his dreams, and more importantly, his destiny. He couldn't imagine where he would be without her, or if he would even be. Roxas knew that it would be too hard to survive without Namine, so he focused solely on the Light she was to him, knowing that he had to protect her.
Soooo. Have you heard The Last Song by Rihanna? I can't stop listening to it. :3
Roxas gripped the hilt of Oblivion with both hands and put the tip of his blade next to Sora's. It was then that he closed his eyes and focused, pushing all thoughts aside other than Namine. He pictured her sky-blue eyes and long hair, and her smile. Even though she was near him, he had to do this alone, and focusing on his own view of her brought warmth to his chest. Roxas focused the energy to travel through his Keyblade. He felt a slight breeze but didn't open his eyes, able to feel the power coursing through him, getting stronger and stronger as he focused on his Light.
Yuppers. =)
Roxas's eyes instantly fell on the blonde standing next to him. He took Sora's words into account, absorbing them and listening to them. Namine was his Light. She had helped him through the hardest part of his life once he came back from the mission, and she said she wouldn't give up on him. He felt his grasp on Oblivion tighten at the knowledge and he nodded once, turning his eyes back to Sora. "Okay," Roxas said finally, approaching Sora's side quickly.
I don't think I have plans for tomorrow, so probably whenever.
Roxas shook his head. "You don't understand," he told Sora, looking up briefly at the Darkness surrounding them before looking back to his friend. He was the Nobody of somebody from the Light, which automatically made him his Darkness. Didn't he and Sora go over that once before?
That's okie. =)
"Yes," Roxas responded immediately with a nod. "After doing all of that, I still fail to protect the person most important to me! I can't even keep Namine out of harm's way!" His grip on his blade tightened at the realization, thinking of the way Smith had treated her in the past and just recently. And then he thought of Jeff, which only made it worse. That was his failure, and if he failed at that, couldn't he do the same with this?
