KH - Fast Food Madness! V2

Namine stared at the blond boy in front of her, and listened to him say a few words. Something about him moving his hand, and that she better not scream. In the heat of the moment, she didn't specifically understand everything, since she was so scared. But she nodded anyway, and the boy removed his hand.

"What do you want?" Her voice came out shaky, and Namine barely recognized it. So full of fear...

"Revenge," another voice told her. The blonde girl turned her head to see that Jeff was walking toward her, a cocky, egotistic grin on his face. He said a few more words to her, letting her know that he was going to beat her up. Namine felt her heart drop at the words, a slight tremble going through her. She watched with wide eyes as he approached, the fear overtaking her heart.

Namine continued to stare blankly at the wall in front of her, oblivious to the fact that it was only a day-dream. She truely believed that she was in that moment again, and her heart rate picked up because of the terror she felt.

 

...But he did what had to be done, right? Smith had to be stopped...for everyone's own sake...right? Roxas stared blankly out in front of him in thought. The scene replayed in his mind, seeing Smith's smirk and evil grin when he had been hurting Namine. Roxas squeezed his eyes shut at the image, shaking his head just a little as he lowered it, his teeth together as he tried to rid the memory from his mind.

"The rage...of the keyblade..." Smith forced out.

"No," Roxas said darkly. "Power." He corrected him before lifting his Keyblade, landing his last hit on the man.

OOC: Oh, my gawddd. My dad is like, freaking out. I'm getting kicked off for now. I'll be back later. D8

 

"Get away from me," Namine heard her own voice again, as shaky and tense as it had been earlier. Did she really deserve to get beat up by that jerk? No! She had only been standing up for herself...and Roxas. But apparently she made a mistake, because now she was going to pay the price for it.

"Payback time, babycakes." Jeff's dark voice entered her ears, and Namine so terribly afraid...and alone. How could this have been happening?

"HEY!" She heard a voice call out, and she could swear it was an angel. Namine turned her head toward the voice, and there he was; her guardian angel.

"Roxas?!" Namine cried out in surprise, feeling a lump come up in her throat. He was there?! He was really there! It didn't matter at that moment how upset she had been at the house, she was just so, so happy to see him. But her happiness didn't last for long, because she suddenly felt a sharp pang in her cheek. It only took her a second to realize that she had been slapped...very hard.

Namine jumped slightly at the memory of the slap, tears reappearing as she continued to relive her nightmare.

OOC: Awww, okay. Bye.

 

At both her movement and his memory, Roxas held onto Namine's arm that was around his neck, his hand grasping it a little tighter. Still caught up in his thoughts, Roxas squeezed his eyes shut even tighter. What Smith had said: the rage of the Keyblade... Was it really true? Is that what the Keyblade was? Roxas's rage and fire burning through the hilts to the sharp, cutting edge? Or was it power...like Roxas had corrected him as it was?

 

"That's enough, Jeff!" Namine heard Roxas yell, his voice stern, but also holding concern. Those traits were easily recognized by Namine, seeing and hearing a lot of that in the past 24 hours. The blonde girl kept her eyes closed, hearing a soft chuckle enter her ears.

"What're you going to do to stop me?" Jeff challenged, taking one step closer to Namine but keeping his gaze on Roxas. Gosh, she hated him. She hated him so much.

Namine opened her eyes at the taunt, her tearfilled eyes moving to Jeff for a moment. He didn't look soft and caring now; he frightened her greatly with his show of force. There was silence for a while, but then Namine heard Roxas speak again after he glanced over at her. "Just let Namine go, Jeff." Namine could hear the tension in his voice, and she knew that he was trying his best to hold back his anger.

Namine inhaled shakily, tears filling her eyes to the rim at the memory of the fright she had felt.

 

Roxas opened his eyes after reliving the moments of when he had slashed and practically torn Smith apart, blinking to try and clear the nasty haze in his thoughts. Roxas had only weilded the Keyblade for a while, and he wasn't exactly sure what he could refer to it as; rage or power... Different people interpreted it into seperate things, referring to it differently because of their own personal reasons. But nobody in this world even knew about it, except for those that were at Boston Market that night... They probably didn't even know what it was, or what the Heartless were. However, outside this world, it was different...

 

Namine suddenly felt dazed in that dreamlike state, part of the conversation becoming a blur. But, the next thing she knew, Jeff was glaring at her angrilly. Why was that...? Oh, right, she had spit in his face. Her eyes widened when the blonde jock grabbed her, forcefully pulling her away from the wall and gripping her shirt tightly. All the anger that had been in her eyes...all of it dispeared and shone with the fear and terror she felt in her heart.

Namine felt a great pang of sadness, one tear escaping her eye without her even realizing it. She was lost in her trance, unable to recognize that it wasn't reality.

 

Outside this world, the places where Sora had traveled and where Roxas's old home, Twilight Town, was... They all knew of the mysterious Key. To some, it was a burden...only to bring chaos and ruin, while others thought of it to bring peace and prosperity. But what about now? On this world? If they did know about it, what would they think? What would they do? Roxas drew in a breath as his eyes stared at the wall blankly, unfocused as he kept his hand against Namine's arm in the silence.

 

Namine felt a few more tears slide down her cheeks, one sliding down to her chin and dangling there for a second before it fell.

"That's it!" She heard Roxas cry out in anger, suddenly rushing forward and tackling the quarterback. Namine gasped in surprise, her body being forcefully released. She felt herself fall to the ground, her surprised moving over to Roxas and Jeff.

"Finish the job," she heard Jeff growl. At first, she didn't understand what he meant by that. But when she saw the other three jocks approach her with those...stupid grins on the faces, she understood perfectly. Namine felt herself being picked up and then thrown down again, one of the boys forcefully kicking her in the stomach. The girl let out a cry in pain, the kick being very strong and painful. Tears appeared in her eyes and she curled herself up, those tears quickly escaping her eyes and falling to the ground.

 

The only reason he even was able to weild it...was because of Sora. Roxas was his Nobody, his other half. In order for Sora to have become whole, Roxas had to become a part of him, and disappear from his laid back life he had in Twilight Town. It was just like Smith had said, he was a Nobody, destined for Darkness. But he didn't disappear, he was whole, and able to live freely on his own. Namine had told him that, when she was with him back then, and he never forgot it. Roxas blinked, clearing his vision when he felt something wet soak into his shirt. Roxas turned his head slightly, seeing Namine's face above his shoulder, something glistening in the sunlight against her face.

 

"Namine! No!" The girl heard Roxas cry out to her, and then the laughter of the boys filled her ears again. How could they be so cruel?! How could they attack her like that? Help Jeff violate her in that manner? The memory of him stroking her underneath her chin came back to her, and it made her feel an even greater sense of sadness and confusion.

The next few moments were quiet other than the laughter, which Namine tried hard to block out. And then Jeff's taunting voice came into her ears, making her cry a little harder. How dare he be so heartless?! Because she had slapped him, it made it alright for Jeff and his friends to attack her? Turn her life upside-down? Oh, no wait, that had already happened. A new memory popped into her head, one of Smith holding her tightly. His hand was over her mouth, and he forcefully held onto her, pulling her closer to him and causing her pain.

Namine stared blankly at the wall in front of her, the tears continuing to run down her cheeks. Her breathing was slower than usual, probably because of the deep trance-like state she had entered.

 

"Namine...?" Roxas's voice was quiet, barely interrupting the silence in his bedroom. He moved his other hand to her arm as he looked at her over his shoulder, his vision a little unclear from the angle. He forgot about his internal problems and focused on her, his eyes catching onto the multiple tears running down her face.

 

Namine didn't respond to the voice, too deep within her daze to recognize the gentle calling of her name. Her light blue eyes continued to stay on the wall in front of her, not even blinking once as a few more tears ran down her cheeks. The only picture that she could see in her mind was Smith coming toward her, just about to take her with him as his hostage. And it terrified her.

 

Roxas's eyebrows furrowed in both concern and confusion. He turned a little, his eyes now getting a clearer view of her face. His ocean-blue eyes gazed at her light blue, which were unfocused as she stared blankly ahead of her. But the tears kept running... "Namine," he said a little louder, this time his tone not being one in question. Roxas kept his hands on her arms that were still around him from behind, not moving.

 

Namine blinked her eyes one time and sucked in a shaky breath, Roxas' voice entering her ears and starting to bring her out of her memories.

 

Roxas kept his eyes locked on her, deep concern in their blue depths. He turned his head and looked down at one of her arms around him, gently lifting it and bringing it over his head to get out of her loving hold. He decided to turn himself a little more before standing, facing her as he bent down slightly to be level with her. Lifting up one of his hands, Roxas wiped her tears away, along with the tear stains on her cheek. "Namine, look at me," he requested gently, her eyes still unfocused as he watched her stare off into space. He didn't know what was going on, but her eyes were glazed over, as if she was in some sort of trance.

 

Namine slowly saw the terrifying vision in front of her disapear, a blurry form appearing in front of her. Bright blue eyes immediatly caught her attention, though she couldn't see them clearly. Sucking a shaky breath, Namine blinked a few more times, her vision clearing as she saw Roxas' ocean-blue eyes gazing into hers. She faintly noticed his hand on her cheek, gently stroking her face.

 

Roxas watched as her eyes appeared to focus on his, which he was sure were still filled with deep concern. He lifted his hand off her cheek and brushed the other side of her face, making her stray tears and the tear streaks on her cheek disappear.

 

Namine felt her eyes fill with confusion at the Roxas' concerned gaze, not clearly understanding. Why was he looking at her that way? When did he move to get in front of her like that? Why did it feel like her cheeks were wet? All the questions filled Namine's mind, giving her a slight headache. Her light blue eyes stayed locked with Roxas', the girl oblivious to the fact that she was still crying.

 

"Namine...are you okay?" Roxas asked slowly, letting his hand fall from her face as he gazed at her, bent over slightly to have his eyes leveled with hers. Something wasn't right...and he wasn't sure what it was.
