because the Prince wanted to save the Witch

A small intervention

Namine showed her back to Sora,
Helplessly waiting for him to make his choice,knowing he wouldn't choose her
Why should he ?

"Make me how I was!"

Sora wanted to say but before he could somthing stopped him,It feeld like a heart attack and than he heard it,

It was a single voice in his head,the Voice sounded like his own but different far more powerful,Authority,divine even!

Sora had already faced God's
He had even defeated Hades in a battle
But the God of the underworld only came of as pitiful and pathetic compared to this voice,yes even Zeus himself wouldn't compare much better
This entity felt,All-powerful,omniscient
Completely without any limits or weaknesses and no way to be stopped!

"Don't be a fool Sora!"

The Voice told him

"Magic this powerful always has a price !
I know that you know that,
You have seen it often enough!"

Sora paused,
The Voice was right!
Magic wouldn't just randomly return his
Memory's without out asking anything but the fake ones back!

"Namine...."Sora approached her carefully knowing how much she had suffered under Marluxia and how much she blamed herself for what she had been forced to do to him and his friends even though she loved him...

"Loves me...?"

Sora asked himself,
But yes given everything that happened
It was only appropriate to think that Namine loved Sora.

Sora who had never thought about such things was overwhelmed by the sudden realization

"Sora what is....?"the beautiful Nobody asked,confused why Sora still hadn't made his choice,and there was something in her eyes that previously hadn't been there....
Maybe hope ?

"Namine.....
What....
What is the price of getting my old memory's back ?" Sora asked trying to hide the fear in his voice

"What....?
But I already told you,
You lose the fake Memory's you made here! That's all..."Namine said confused

"No......"Sora said
"I mean the real price of restoring my Memory's, I know that this kind of Magic always comes with a cost....
So what is it Namine?" Sora asked as gentle and careful as he could to show her that he didn't assume any bad will by her.

Unfortunately Donald was not as careful as the young Key blade wielder
"He is right!
Dammit, I'm the Mage here !
Why didn't I think of that!
Is that another trap from Marluxia ?
Namine you little......"the Duck Wizard
Began

"That doesn't need to concern you..."
The Beautiful Girl in White says
"There is no price you need to think about, I promise you...." Namine told them, melancholicly looking away

"WHAT !????!!!??!?!!?
but that is not how...." Sora began but than he realized

"Because you are the one paying the cost
Right Namine....?"Sora asked already knowing the truth

"I-i...."Namine still tried to deny it again

"Namine!
What price will you have to pay for
Restoring my Memory's?"
He asked her

Namine keeps silent

"Namine!"Sora called to her
"What-price-do-you-need-to-pay ?"He asked again

Namine looks away desperately trying
To not look Sora in the eyes,

And than Sora came a thought
A conclusion simply far to horrible that it could ever be the truth...
But was that it ?

This Girl,
This poor,amazing,beautiful,clever,brave,funny,precious,lonely girl
This Girl who loves him
Who stood finally up to her abusers, not for herself but for him,
She was willing too....

"You'll die" Sora said
Speaking out what he didn't even dare to believe

Namine seemed shocked
"No! I will simply disappear...
I'm a nobody and Nobody's shouldn't even exist in the first place !"Namine cryd out

"Says who ?
Point me at the loser and he will wish to
disappear himself!
I want to stay as I am,
If It means to losing you my Memory's can not be worth that no matter what!"Sora said

The Nobody let her script book fall
As countless tears started to build in her beautiful eyes

But Sora needed to make her truly understand him so he said
"Because I love you Namine,
And that's all that I need to know!"
Sora truly hoped that those words would reach her.

"You....
You.....
Love.....?"
The Witch didn't believe that all her hopes and dreams could have become true,
This was an illusion,
Some trick to make her hope
Just so she could wake up from this sweetest of dreams only to realize that she was still under Marluxia's control and Manipulatet Sora...
Sora who was kind and good,
Sora who had forgiven her and told her that she was good and he didn't believe she hadn't a heart
Sora who as Marluxia threatened her told her to just do what he asked for so she would be safe,even though it would render himself weak and defenseless..
Sora who after all that had said that he loved her...
And that knowing that he loved her was the only thing he needed to know,
With or without his Memory's....

"Sora....."

"Ahir hirc hirc hicks!
"I don't want to ruin the Moment
But........" Goofy begone

"WHAT!???!?
Can't you see that the two love birds have a Moment right now!??!?!"Donald asked pissed.

"But this is important Donald!
What if....."Goofy began

Donald had one of his anger explosions

Namine laughed and Sora feeld embarrassed but was happy to see the Girl he loved laughing

"Your friends are funny Sora!
Hihihihi!'Namine giggled

"Ah boys.....?"Sora tried to talk with them in Order to get their attention to make them stop embarrassing him in front of Namine even though he didn't actually want for Namine to stop Laughing.

"WAHT!!!!!???!!?"Donald asked not liking being distracted from beating up Goofy

"Well,Goofy what actually was your question ?"Namine asked

"Well if we all need give up our Memory's for Namine to stay al....."

Namine looks surprised ad the Knights words so she explained

" ...that is actually a rule only applies to Sora his Memory's are the only ones needed for me to not disappear, you can still choose to lose your memory here and get the others back...."Namine said

Sora was surprised to hear that but too see Namine being sad and feeling guilty ones again prevented him from asking more and instead he took her in his Arms and huged her

"Sora...."Namine said with a voice full doubt but than returned the Hug in tears as Sora kisses her forehead

"So if we can choose without Namine "disappear" whatever that means than I like to be my old self again...."Goofy said

"Me too!"Donald said

Namine distanced herself from Sora while still holding on to his hand and smiled as she said

"Please wait, I will ready the pot's for you."the young Nobody told them
"Sora are you sure you...."

Sora put one finger on his Girlfriends lips and told her

"Don't you ever even think about that!"
The idea that That Namine was actually willing to let him choose to "MAKE her disappear" without even telling him that he was choosing her demise still scared him and made his heart run in fear for the Girl he loved.

"Oh!....
Okay!" Namine said desperately trying not to show how happy she was that Sora actually chose he, it was hard for to not just constantly smile about her luck that she didn't believe she deserved

"Good night Donald and Goofy, see you next year, I'm gonna miss you guys...." Sora told his friends he gave them a fist to symboliz that wasn't a good bye but a until up than.

Donald and Goofy gave one final look to Sora before the went in their pods and began their slumber,

Sora and Namine looked at eachother and Namine gave Sora a kiss and so the one year they would live hiden from the World's in Castle Oblivion began.
