Strange Circumstance

[Mistress Emma]

A/N: Aha Shanny-Boo I'm ripping you off and doing a oneshot series too! PH33R ME! And BtW, the title has nothing to do with anything. I just couldn't think of a good title.

For me, because I rock. Also for Izzy, because of some random reason I don't know. Just roll with it guys. And for anyone who's had a migraine.

Migraines and Panadol

Naminè threw her pencil at Roxas. "What do you want? I've got a migraine and am trying to just draw. By myself. Without interruptions," she snapped. Obviously, Naminè was in a very bad mood.

Roxas caught the pencil. "Whoa what's up with you. I only wanted to talk to you. You've never had I problem with that before. Have you been taken over by an evil spirit?"

Naminè rubbed her temples. "No. I told you. I have a migraine."

Roxas shrugged. "Maybe you should take some Panadol?"

Naminè looked quizzical. "What's Panadol?"

Roxas went wide eyed. "No wonder your so pissed off when you get migraines. Here," Roxas extended a couple of Panadol from his pocket.

Naminè swallowed them. "Roxas," she said flatly. "I still have my migraine."

Roxas rolled his eyes. "They do take a while."

Naminè went back to her drawing as she sighed. Roxas tried to peer over her shoulder (considering her behaviour when he first came in, he decided not to ask. Naminè noticed this. "Roxaaaaaaaassssssss," she sighed.

"Can't I see?" asked Roxas innocently.

"No," Naminè said and covered her work. Roxas manage to get her elbow off. The drawing was of him.

Naminè tried to conceal the fact she was blushing. "You like?" she asked nervously.

Roxas nodded. If he had a heart, it would be beating faster. "I like."

Naminè grinned and kissed his cheek. "Wait... Back it up, what I just do?

"Wait... Back it up, what she just do? Roxas thought at the same time.

"Roxas?"

"Mm?"

"My migraine's gone."

[Mistress Emma]

A/N: Mmm. This is mainly based on real experience (this sort of thing happens a lot to me.). Except the bit where the feelings are returned, as that could never happen to me.

For Laura, who is my fellow victim of unrequited love. Even though in this it isn't unrequited love. The last bit's sort of what I wish would've happened.

Love Can Come Out While Cleaning Tables

“I know who you liiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiike...” Selphie said in a sing-song voice.

“Shut it Selph,” Kairi snapped. “Quit acting like a child.”

“Kairi, we're eleven. We ARE children,” Selphie pointed out.

“You are taking this very lightly Selph. You don't seemed to understand that I LOVE Sora.”

Selphie sighed. “Kairi, your taking this way to hard. You seem desperate.”

“Well maybe I am.”

***/~/***/~/***/~/***/~/***/~/***/~/***/~/***/~/***/~/***/~/***/~/***/~/***/~/***/~/***/~/

Sora had been sent to fetch the extra tape measure for Mr. Hithen. The high jump measurer had turned out to be faulty. As he passed his classroom, he heard Selphie talking to the love of his life, Kairi Yonsha.

“Selphie! Quit reminding me of the fact your crush is more likely to happen then mine. It's not fair! I don't want to be taunted with the fact Sora'll never feel the same!”

Sora felt elated. “Oh my god,” he said as he stumbled into the room.

Kairi put her hands over her mouth. “Please tell me you didn't hear that.”

Sora walked up to Kairi. And he kissed her (after she put her hands down, of course). They kissed for a long time, but were interrupted by Selphie.

“Kairi! Am I supposed to clean the rest of these tables by myself?”

[Mistress Emma]

A/N: This one's rather depressing... Oh well...

For Shannon, who always gets sneak peaks at my stuff. You rock. :3

Position of Danger

“Gah,” Anoxim said as she got out of bed. “Morning Larxene.”

“Mornin’,” Larxene replied sleepily. The two girls got dressed and headed down to breakfast, Anoxim not forgetting her helmet. Her plants didn’t actually make such a good defense. As Axel could burn them down.

--/&/--

Roxas trudged along the road he’d found. He was trying to get to the castle he saw. He was almost there.

Once he got there, the door opened. I man stepped out. “Hello Roxas.”

Roxas was intimidated. “How did you know my name?” he asked. The man smiled. “I know a lot.”

--/&/--

It was a normal breakfast time in the World That Never Was. Aka all breakfasts had been discarded, fire was everywhere, Anoxim was hiding, and people were more intent on killing each other than actually eating.

Just a normal breakfast time.

A voice came out through what Organization XIII used as an intercom system. “Number XIII. Number XIII, Anoxim, come to room 16 now.”

All the fire died down, everyone stopped fighting. They all knew what it meant. Except Number XIII herself, Anoxim.

“Oh my god...” Larxene trailed off...

People were wide eyed. “What? I've only got to go see the Superior in a random room,” said Anoxim annoyedly.

Axel sighed. “Who's gonna tell her?”

“They're gonna kill you,” muttered a voice who no-one could actually tell the identity of.

Anoxim swore. “Shit. I am NOT going. Why are they gonna kill me anyway?”

“They found another Nobody. They assessed this nobody. On this assessment, they think this person will be better for our cause than you, so they're gonna kill you and put this nobody in your place,” explained Axel. “Sorry.”

--/&/--

The man smiled. “Roxas, you passed the test. Congratulations, you are part of Organization XIII. Number XIII, The Key of Destiny.”

Roxas was relieved. “So can I come in now?”

“In a moment,” the man exited the room into it's parallel room, room 16. “That girl's not gonna come willingly... Gotta go get her.,” he muttered and opened a portal.

--/&/--

“Anoxim!” someone cried out as a portal appeared behind the plant-controlling, soon to be deceased Nobody. Anoxim was pulled backward through the portal, to room number 16.

“Please... You don't have to keep me, kick me out on the street, but please, let me live...” begged Anoxim.

The man who would kill her shook his head, and aimed the machine at her. It would take her out seamlessly, and not give her the time to scream. He pressed the button to activate it as Anoxim sobbed. “Goodbye Number XIII, Anoxim, The Lady of the Plants, Nobody of Naomi Hethren.”

--/&/--

Roxas went into the kitchen where all the other members of Organization XIII were. “Um... Hi. I'm Roxas.”

“It's not his fault Anoxim's dead,” everyone thought along the lines of. “We'll give him a chance.”

Drifted

This is a very depressing one... A very emo idea...

For Laura, 'cause your going through so much! Your life is better than Selphie's!

-/&/-

Selphie’s meant to be happy. Everyone knew her as the happy girl in the orange sun dress. Selphie was probably the happiest girl on the island, right?

That’s the way it used to be. But things changed. Whoa did things change.

-/&/-

It all started when the darkness took the island. Selphie didn’t really know what happened. But somehow, she got somewhere. She was just a child, but was able to set up a tiny home wherever she was.

-/&/-

One day, she heard that her world was back. She wanted desperately to see everyone again. So she got her things and left.

-/&/-

Sora and Riku weren’t there.

Selphie was confused. Selphie asked Kairi, but Kairi didn’t know much.

“Well, I don’t know. Riku’s gone off to fight the darkness, but that’s all,” Kairi shrugged. Selphie listened. After all, Sora and Riku would come back, and she still had Lulu, Wakka, Tidus and Kairi.

-/&/-

“Your leaving,” Selphie said.

“Yes. I’m leaving, and you’ll probably never see me again,” Lulu said.

“Where are you going?”

“It’s not something I can say Selph. It’s a secret I’ve gotta keep.”

-/&/-

Selph was confused when Wakka said he was also leaving.

“You TOO? God, why is everyone leaving?”

“I’ve gotta go Selph. They won’t stay. My parents will make me. I think yours would do the same.”

Selphie wanted to slap him, for talking about her parents when he knew... But then she realised something.

He didn’t know.

So then Selphie ran away in tears. Partly because Wakka was also leaving, but more because of a realisation...

One of her best friends who she’d known since she was a baby didn’t know she was an orphan.

-/&/-

Tidus and Selphie drifted apart. Selphie didn’t really know why, or how. But it kind of left Kairi as her only remaining friend. Scary thought.

-/&/-

One day, Selphie was just sitting on a branch of the Paopu tree. She didn’t really know where Kairi was, but anyway.

But in the water, she saw to figures swimming to a girl who was waving. That girl was Kairi, and the figures were Sora and Riku. “Sora and Riku are back!” She thought as they scrambled out of the water, Kairi embraced them, and some random about-up-to-your-waist animals who could stand also embraced them.

Selphie scrambled from the branch and ran down to them. “Hey, you two are back!”

“Sure are, Selph,” Sora grinned.

Selphie also grinned. “Good. And don’t go leaving anytime soon, it’s seriously depressing when nearly all your friends leave.”

-/&/-

They left the next day.

All three of them, Riku, Sora, and Kairi. Selphie couldn’t believe it. She was absolutely alone.

-/&/-

She spiraled and spiraled downwards. She hated life, she was completely alone. There was no-one left to care, and Selphie didn’t really care much either. She spent most of her time in her room. There was a boy who sometimes looked at her in concern, Selphie thought his name was Irvine.

-/&/-

It was during an attack (they came regularly nowadays) that Selphie decided would be best. As useless as she thought she was, Selphie wanted to go out with a bang, and there was always someone being alert under attack.

Selphie had the note (in a envelope, with a rock so it’s wouldn’t roll away). They could tell there was a invasion (nothing to worry about really) coming soon. The plan was pretty simple: Wait until battle starts, run, drop note, jump off cliff, die.

-/&/-

The battle started. Irvine had noticed something, that girl who seemed so depressed nowadays (he thought her name was Selphie) wasn’t in her room. He just shrugged it off, until he got downstairs. He watched the battle from the window, but he saw Selphie running out there...

-/&/-

Leon was one person who had been called in to defend this little island. He wasn’t really sure why. Whilst fighting he saw a young girl running. A young girl he recognised. “Selphie, what are you doing?”

Selphie didn’t recognise his voice, not that it mattered. She was heading straight for the cliff. She dropped the note and jumped. Leon did notice this, and wanted to stop her, but he kind of couldn’t.

-/&/-

The battle was over, and Leon (and everyone else, even though Leon was the only one who knew her) scrambled over to the cliff. Of course, Selphie was long dead (it was a big cliff). Irvine rushed out. Leon, the Hollow Bastion Restoration Committee, and Irvine found her suicide note.

Hi,
I’m Selphie. I’ve just killed myself. That was kind of obvious but oh well.

I was just so sick of being alone. I’m an orphan, no-one cares, I’ve got no friends. Lula and Wakka both left, Tidus randomly hates me, Kairi, Sora and Riku are god knows where. When I’m dead, I won’t have to worry with being alone.

This probably seems totally out of character. Eh, I’ve changed. No-one would’ve thought that happy little girl in the yellow sun dress would do this. But that’s not me any more I guess.

-/&/-

They held a funeral the next day. Not all that many people came. But some people did, mainly the people she’d drifted away from. It was a small ceremony.

Selphie had drifted to far and it had gotten her dead.

Chapped Lips

A/N: I have no idea what inspired this. It's kind of scary. And this is AU, if you hadn't guessed.

A rush of emotions rushed through Roxas's head. Rage, Grief, Terror, and some others. He fell to his knees as he saw her lying on the ground, bloodied, barely clinging on to life. “Nami... Naminé! Naminé, please don't die on me!”

“Rox...as,” Naminé stuttered through her heavily chapped and cut lips. “I... I love you... Need you...” she struggled desperately to sit up one last time, and kissed him. The iron tang of blood filled his mouth and he felt all the splits on her lips. It wasn't that nice, but they both treasured it for th few seconds they had left.

When they broke away, Naminé's heartbeat faded and she died. Roxas wanted to kill the boys who had raped her and murdered her. But there was a far more tempting option as he eyed a penknife one of the boys had left behind. Roxas drew it across his wrist, making sure to hit an artery “Naminé... I love you... I'm always with you...”

[Mistress Emma]

Smile

A/N: I dunno. This story features Serini, my OC, and a lot of it isn't very understandable. Oh well.

For Izzy, who is like, hardly ever emo. For Tom+Rosie+Kirthana+Monique+Vivek. You're the guys with me in the fic. :3 Tom and Monique actually meet Serini.

Sometimes she would just smile at them. They were so happy then. They had no reason not to be. They didn't know what would happen. They didn't know they would die, be trapped in Hellana, be brought back. They didn't know about the Soulless war. They didn't know a lot. Well, they couldn't tell the future.

They had described Hellana as a terrible place, just a harsh desert. Serini knew she could never go to either Hellana or Heavenia. She was a princess of heart, with a strong enough heart to keep on living after that Simia witch with the bracelet had taken her soul. But no-one's heart was that strong, strong enough to go into the afterlife. Death was a finish for her, because she lacked her soul, and a soul is what gets you to Heavenia, not a heart.

She hid and watched the younger versions of her friends playing on the beach. Life was so easy for them right now, and Serini smiled.

[Mistress Emma]

You Don’t

A/N: Yes I finally decided to do a Larxel. I’ve never played CoM, so please be a little forgiving if I get Larxene completely out of character. Okey-dokey?

Izzy, I have no idea why I’m dedicating this to you. But I am. Live with it.

You don’t care.

You are the Savage Nymph, and you do not happen to care about a certain co-worker with flaming red hair. You don’t feel just a little bit flustered when he talks to you. You don’t think you have some sort of crush.

--//--

You don’t worry.

Not at all. You don’t keep tabs on when he goes on missions. You don’t get slightly nervous when he’s been gone for a while. You don’t start biting your nails when it’s been three hours and he’s still not back. You don’t pseudo-feel overwhelming relief when he finally comes back.

--//--

He doesn’t make you regret getting into Marluxia’s plan to take over Organization XIII via Naminé and Sora’s memories.

It doesn’t make you feel sick when you think that you and Marluxia will kill the members of the Organization XIII after you take over, and that includes him.

--//--

You haven’t finally admitted to yourself that you are head over heels for him.

You don’t wonder if he could ever pretend to have a heart enough for him to love you back. You don’t dream of him, you don’t think about him all the time, you don’t feel like you would just crumble and die there and then if he ever left.

--//--

You aren’t devastated when you learn he’s been a traitor to your scheme.

You don’t wonder what you did to make him indirectly do this to you, when you loved him so.

You don’t think you’ll miss him like hell if by some freak chance you get to some kind of afterlife. You don’t wish you could go back in time, to do something, anything, to stop him from betraying you and leading to your death. Even if it by some chance meant you dying earlier.

It simply doesn’t break your non-existent heart that he’s the reason you’re dying.

[Mistress Emma]

A/N: Ha ha ha... This is a random thing which is like, between numbers 4 and 5 in Shannon and my KH series...

For Shannon, who actually knows what this is about. The rest of you have to guess.

Long Gone.

“Roxas...” I whisper as a tear rolls down my face and I stare at my drawing. “God, I miss you...”

I’m crying my eyes out as I remember what that woman (Grey Guardian) did. “Why did I have to be The Key to the Katiwu? Why did you have to...” I choke and can’t complete my sentence. I can bring myself to it.

“I need you... I want you back,” you weren’t meant to end this way. We thought we had discovered that us nobodies wouldn’t just fade into the darkness (I can’t really say “us” anymore though.), but now look. You stuck way too deep in Sora, and I can’t remerge with Kairi.

“Naminé?” I hear Katarina say from behind me. Of course, our dear Katiwu who led to this whole thing. “Go away,” I hiss as she walks nearer.

“No,” she says. “Someone’s got to stay with you just to make sure you don’t drown yourself or something.”

I stare at my drawing, and the letter stapled to it. I put them in the bottle.

“Naminé, sending that won’t bring him back,” Katarina informs me, like I didn’t know.

“I know Kat-arina,” I know she hates it when I call her Kat. “But, I’ve got to send this,” I wipe away a tear.

“One day,” I whisper deathly quiet, so Katarina can’t even hear me, “I find you again. I promise Roxas.”

“Just because I love you.”
