Hey hey lovies, BRING ON THE ANGST! XD A lot of you said you wanted me to keep going, so continue I will. I was already plotting anyway. Thanks for the support.

"Now, for the finishing touches. First, we must dispose of Namine. She did a splendid job with Sora, but it's high time she disappeared. Roxas isn't the only one who was never meant to exist. Take care of it, Ansem."

Namine sighed. Again. It was… nostalgic? Depressing? She wasn't sure which. She was sitting in the White Room at the front of the mansion, thinking. Just that morning she'd finished up Sora's memories. After spending so much time either in that room or in the pod room, it was odd to think that she would probably never see them again. She wasn't sure where she was going to go…. Probably back to Kairi. Maybe that way Riku would like her, or rather… Kairi. Namine would just be able to see him look at her the way she'd always wanted to be looked at. Maybe?

She stood and walked slowly around the room, taking a good look at each picture on the wall. She'd drawn every one of them, but it seemed like that was lifetimes ago.

Catch me as I fall
Say you're here and it's all over now
Speaking to the atmosphere
No one's here and I fall into myself
This truth drives me
Into madness
I know I can stop the pain
If I will it all away

If I will it all away

"…Namine." She turned sharply at the sound of the voice.

"…Oh! Hello Riku." She couldn't help but smile, yet it was a weak smile; the as yet unnamed feeling she had been and still was experiencing in regards to leaving that place refused to allow her a moment's peace. The hooded man in front of her paused. He seemed… indecisive?

"…."

Don't turn away…

x x x x x x x x x x x x x x x x x x x x x x x x x x x x x x x x x x x x x x x x x x x x x x x x x x x x x x x x x x x x x x x x x x x x x x x x x x x x x x x x x x x x x x x x x x x x x x x x x x

"…Riku!" Namine backed up, feeling her back hit the wall. Why did he summon his keyblade? She didn't like the looks of this….

x x x x x x x x x x x x x x x x x x x x x x x x x x x x x x x x x x x x x x x x x x x x x x x x x x x x x x x x x x x x x x x x x x x x x x x x x x x x x x x x x x x x x x x x x x x x x x x x x x

Don't try to hide…

x x x x x x x x x x x x x x x x x x x x x x x x x x x x x x x x x x x x x x x x x x x x x x x x x x x x x x x x x x x x x x x x x x x x x x x x x x x x x x x x x x x x x x x x x x x x x x x x x x

"…I'm sorry." She gasped as he pulled his arm back. His fighting stance…. She knew now what was happening. She was useless to them now; she was to be disposed of. She shut her eyes tightly as he lunged forwards.

x x x x x x x x x x x x x x x x x x x x x x x x x x x x x x x x x x x x x x x x x x x x x x x x x x x x x x x x x x x x x x x x x x x x x x x x x x x x x x x x x x x x x x x x x x x x x x x x x x

Don't close your eyes…

x x x x x x x x x x x x x x x x x x x x x x x x x x x x x x x x x x x x x x x x x x x x x x x x x x x x x x x x x x x x x x x x x x x x x x x x x x x x x x x x x x x x x x x x x x x x x x x x x x

Namine opened her eyes slowly. The very end of the Way to the Dawn was poised right at her heart – or rather, where it would have been. She could practically feel it. Her gaze traveled over the weapon that was meant to cease her non-existence. It was shaking. In fact, so was the hand that held it. And his arm….

x x x x x x x x x x x x x x x x x x x x x x x x x x x x x x x x x x x x x x x x x x x x x x x x x x x x x x x x x x x x x x x x x x x x x x x x x x x x x x x x x x x x x x x x x x x x x x x x x x

Don't turn out the light…

x x x x x x x x x x x x x x x x x x x x x x x x x x x x x x x x x x x x x x x x x x x x x x x x x x x x x x x x x x x x x x x x x x x x x x x x x x x x x x x x x x x x x x x x x x x x x x x x x x

Namine's gaze traveled up to his face, mostly concealed in the darkness of the hood. Still, she could see the bottom half of his face. His mouth was twisted into a grimace of sorts. And his skin… no, that couldn't have been right. It seemed paler than it had been for some time now…. The Way to Dawn disappeared from his hand and he straightened up. He let out a long, slow breath that he had been holding since the moment he attacked her. He stared down at the ground for a moment before looking at her. The grimace only grew tenser. He turned and practically ran out of the room.

Why?

"Why what?"

Why spare the girl?

"…."

…

"…She never did anything wrong."

…I could have done it. You could have let me do it.

"…."

…I could still do it.

"…No."

…There's something more to this, isn't there?

"Of course not."

You replied much too quickly for me to believe that.

"..."

…I see….

"See what? There's nothing to see."

You feel something for the witch, don't you?

"…Don't call her that. And I do not."

I live inside your head. Do you honestly believe you can hide things from me?

"…."

You can't. You're smart enough to know that.

"…."

You care for her…

"…."

You actually like that little witch. I'd even go so far as to say you have a crush on her…

"…."

Oh? Or do you love her?

"…."

Your silence says it all. Well, don't get too attached. You know her fate.

"…That doesn't mean I have to go along with it."

Hah. And what are you going to do, Riku?

"…Leave me alone, Ansem."

OMFG RIKU'S SCHITZO! DDDDD:

…Lol not really. Okay then, I've still got some more ideas for this one, if you guys want me to keep going. Let me know!

Oh yes, and the lyrics are from 'Whisper' by Evanescence; the thing I was listening to when I wrote this. XD
