Second Best

By MonkeyGirlxoxo

She ran, her heels clacking against the tiled floor. She dodged the bullets skilfully, moving from side to side with ease. The soldier stood at the end of the room, shooting at the young woman quickly, but no matter how hard he tried to hit her she was just too fast. She continued to run towards him, her pace never slowing, and when she was halfway across the room she pulled out her gun. The bullets continued to come towards her, but she wasn't worried. The solider seemed to be nervous now, his shots were off target, and the bullets he fired weren't even centimetres close to her anymore.

She lifted her gun and shot two bullets at the soldier, hitting him squarely in his arms. His gun clattered to the floor and she put her gun away. She quickened her pace, and kneed the soldier under his chin before he even fell to the ground. Then, when the man fell and hit the tile floor he dissolved, turning into small blue particles.

Mission Successful. A woman's voice called from the ceiling. Training Complete.

Just then, the hallway that the blonde was standing in began to disintegrate into blue particles as well. Soon enough, she was standing in a large grey tiled room filled with nothing but herself. The young woman sighed, and brushed the back of her hand against her forehead. That particular mission wasn't tiring at all, but just finishing that training mission along with about six others would tire anyone.

"You know," A voice called, "You didn't have to shoot the hologram's arms. That was a bit harsh." A man stepped out of the shadows to the left, his blond hair lying over his shoulders of his lab coat.

"Hello Vexen." She said turning her back towards him. She started to walk away.

"Naminé," Vexen called after her, "The boss would like to see you. I was sent to tell you that."

She turned around, her blond hair all jumping to land on one shoulder. "The boss?" She questioned. She took a few steps towards the man. "Do you know why he wants me?"

Vexen shook his head. "I'm just sent to deliver the messages Naminé." He said, "I know no more than you do."

She nodded from his words, "Thanks anyway." She walked past him, her heels clacking against the ground as she made her way to the door. After exiting the training room she entered an empty hallway. The blue metal walls showed her reflection, and Naminé took in her appearance. She was wearing a tight black leather hoodie with matching leather pants, classic Naminé wear. She made sure that her appearance was acceptable and then walked down the hall, making a turn every now and then until she arrived in front of the room she was needed in. She took a deep breath and stepped forward, the automatic doors allowing her inside.

"Hello Naminé." A deep voice said from the other side of the table that sat in the middle of the room.

"Hello Sir." She said politely with a small bow. "Vexen told me that you wanted me." She lifted her head to look at the man sitting in front of her.

His silver hair lay on his shoulders, and his amber orange eyes were concentrated on her. "Yes, I have a very important mission for you." He slid a folder across the table to her. "There has been a case of missing students at a university."

Naminé picked up the folder and started to flip through the pages that lay inside. She skimmed the information, mainly focusing on the number of pictures inside the file. She looked at the man once again, "Xemnas, there are about four girls in this file." She stated, "Why weren't we contacted sooner?"

"The school didn't want the public to find out." He stated. "It was only after the fourth girl went missing that they decided to call in for help."

"What else do we know?" She asked.

"You must wait a few moments Naminé." Xemnas told the young woman. "We're waiting on someone else."

"Someone else?" Naminé questioned. "I'm not working alone?"

Xemnas shook his head. "This case is too big for one person. These girls are missing and we have no idea what's happening to them. We're working against the clock Naminé."

"Who am I working with then?" She asked him.

As if on cue the doors opened and a young man walked inside. He wore a white shirt and black jeans with a silver necklace around his neck. "Sir." He said when he positioned himself next to Naminé. "I was told you were expecting me."

Xemnas nodded. "Roxas, this is Naminé." He said to the young man. "You two will be working together on the mission I am assigning to you."

"A new mission?" Roxas questioned. He turned to look at the woman next to him and extended his hand. "Nice to meet you." He said with a smile.

Naminé ignored him, giving Xemnas her full attention. "Sir, why am I working with another agent? I've always worked on my own."

"Like I've said before, this case is too big for one person." Xemnas said sternly, "We need to try and get these girls back as soon as possible, and having our two best agents working together is our best shot at that."

"Best agents?" Both of the blonds said in awe.

Naminé nodded. "I understand now Sir. Thank you." She said with another small bow.

"Now then," Xemnas said, "Let's begin looking at the case." He brought out a controller and pressed a button, causing a large white screen to descend from the ceiling. He pressed another button and four different images popped up, each a different face of a woman. Naminé recognized the faces from the file.

"These four girls have gone missing from the University of Destiny Islands." Xemnas stated, "From what the school has informed us, each disappearance has been about two weeks apart in time. None of the girls have been seen or heard from since they were abducted. The only thing that these girls have had in common is that they are all from the same residential home."

"So each house holds a max of four students?" Roxas questioned.

Xemnas nodded, "That is correct."

"Did the girls study similar courses?" Naminé asked.

"No, they were all majoring in something different from the other." Xemnas said.

"How do four girls get kidnapped and no gossip starts?" Roxas asked.

"The school kept it a secret." Xemnas began, "The only people that knew were the staff and the victim's roommates. The staff made the girls promise not to tell anyone about their missing roommate. If another student asked, they were told to say that the girl went home or on vacation."

"That explains the gossip bit." Roxas said.

"It doesn't explain why the roommates stayed though." Naminé stated. "Think about it. You get told your roommate got kidnapped, wouldn't you want to leave the school as soon as possible? These girls continued to live and study at the university…why?"

"The only things we know are that females are the target, and this man is probably targeting dorm by dorm. This is why we need you two on the case." Xemnas said. He pressed a button on his controller and the white screen was pulled back up to the ceiling. "We need you constantly at the school, and since both of you are young you've been enrolled in the University of Destiny Islands. You have both been enrolled in the Art program due to the fact that its building is closest to the residential homes."

Xemnas turned his attention to Naminé. "You will be sharing a residential home with two other girls, Kairi Onbin and Olette Shuhan."

Naminé nodded and Xemnas turned his attention to Roxas.

"You will be sharing your room with the third agent on this case, Demyx Faita." Xemnas said. "He will help you will everything that involves technology on this case."

Naminé raised an eyebrow, "There's a third agent."

Her boss nodded, "Yes. You three are the team for this mission. Everything you need is in that file, look it over on your flight to Destiny Islands. Your jet leaves in three hours, good luck agents."

"Thank you Sir." Naminé said with a bow, "We'll do our best."

"Yeah, what she said." Roxas added from next to her.

~~~Kingdom Hearts~~~

The two agents walked down the hall next to each other, each pulling a suit case behind them. They were currently on their way to the jet hanger, where they would board their flight to Destiny Islands. Naminé was holding the file they had been given in her left hand.

"So, we're the best agents, huh?" Roxas said trying to the start a conversation.

Naminé turned to look at him and smiled. "Apparently."

"Well then." Roxas said smiling back at her, "We better not mess up, right? I mean, if we do we won't be the best anymore."

"I know I won't mess up." Naminé replied with confidence, "I'm just worried you might."

Alright, so there is the first chapter of my new story "Second Best." :)

It's a new genre for me. Usually I stick to less serious story lines, but I've had this idea written down for a while, and so I wanted to give it a shot. :)

I jut want to say from now that if I decide to continue this story is will probably be a while until the next update. This is because I have to finish the last three chapters of another story I am currently writing, but after that this story will most likely have my full attention. :)

Please leave me a review, as it is extremely important for a first chapter because it helps the author determine whether or not the story should be continued. :P :)
