Summary: Organization 13 decided to take a break from all the Kingdom Hearts crap and make time for themselves.

This is what happened.

Note: I don't own Kingdom Hearts…or Axel. cries Oh, and as another side note, I know like half of the Organization is dead in KH II, but let's just pretend they're still alive, ok? Ok.

Warning(s): There is a high probability of OOC stuff. I haven't finished Kingdom Hearts Chain of Memories so…a few of the members will probably be OOC. Severely. So if you wanna help me before I reach them, you can send me a description of them and stuff. Just the ones who die in CoM though. I basically know everyone else. And Larxene. And Zexion. Everyone else I'm clueless about. So thanks for the help

I

One…two…three…four…

I don't know why I started counting the number of spots in front of my eyes. Maybe the flashes of red and blue from Axel and Demyx's current battle kept them around so often, I couldn't help but get acquainted with them. Maybe being out in the sun for so long was making me delusional. Or maybe I was just so fucking bored.

"Why am I here again…?" I asked to no one in particular. But because of my status I got an answer. That's what happens when you're the Superior. You can't ask rhetorical questions.

"I dunno dude..." Demyx replied, signaling for Axel to pause their practice round. He hunched over, wiping the sweat from his brow before taking a much needed breath to finish his answer. "I think you're just bored." I slightly smiled, closing my eyes and saying good bye to the spots. That's what I liked about number IX. He was casual. He wasn't threatened by me or my awesome power. In fact, he wasn't threatened by anyone. Mentally anyway. He was just so oblivious to it all that you'd think he had lost more than a heart.

"Or not, I dunno." He liked changing his mind a lot too.

I stood up, shaking the sleep from my legs before I proceeded to leave. I had a habit of changing my location extremely quickly, not really caring who was or wasn't there in the first place.

"Hey Xemnas?" Demyx said suddenly, catching me off guard. I turned to him with a blank stare. I was good at that.

"I was wondering if you wanted to go out with us later today."

"Us?" I asked. I didn't know Demyx had an "us" to be around. Ok I'll admit it, I'm pretty mean to the kid, but it's just so easy to be a dick, I can't help it.

"Yeah dude. The whole Organization. You can come if you want." Demyx smiled that smile that was very bright, yet highly disturbing.

"We're just gonna go around and find something to bother." Axel said, joining the conversation. Because of his battle experience, he wasn't as out of breath as Demyx. I nodded slowly, trying to find something in that sentence that interested me. I didn't - however, it was expected. Number VIII wasn't the type to hide his intentions. If he didn't want someone around, he'd drip it all over his words that he was practically telling you to fuck off, and that's how this moment felt. He wasn't my favorite.

"Mmm….I'll think about it." I said half heartedly. I laughed mentally when Axel couldn't conceal his annoyance with my decision. However, Demyx missed it, like always, and smiled hopefully.

"If you wanna come, you can meet us at the ocean side at noon." he informed me.

"We always go to the beach, Demyx. Can't you find another place to go once in a while?" Axel asked, raising an eyebrow at Demyx. Rubbing the back of his head, Demyx smiled cheesily at him.

"I can't help it dude, I love the beach. It has so much…water." Axel rolled his eyes, laughing it off. Axel didn't like very many people, and Demyx seemed to be the few that he appreciated being around. He was around his a lot actually. More than normal. They were like a little girl and her beloved dog. Always with each other wherever they went. Sure, Demyx had made good friends with other Organization members, but he was far more attached to Axel than the rest of them. They even shared dorm room. Maybe it was because they were right next to each other as numbers. Maybe Axel liked the cheesy, immature type that made him feel younger than he was already. Or maybe…

Opening a portal in mid thought, I left to two alone on the battle grounds. I thought evil things and decided to check up on them later, without warning. But for now I had to find something to do or I'd go back to finding that Keyblade Master. I'm sure you can tell this "vacation" thing wasn't my idea.

"'Sup Superior!"

It was Xigbars.

"Greetings Number II…"

"How's your first day been goin'?"

"So-so..."

Number II was sitting in one of the useless rooms we had, shooting at targets with his Gun Arrows. The targets were courtesy of Demyx. His feet were propped on top of the large table, his care for accuracy missing. For every 5 shots, he got 1 perfect. It didn't surprise me though. Xigbar was almost as laid back as Demyx, but was constantly reminded that he would always be one rank lower than me. Still, we had our moments where our ranks didn't matter.

"That's good. So like, did Demyx tell you about our plans?"

"Indeed..."

"Well?"

"I have to think about it first. Lolly gagging isn't something I do on a daily basis, so I'm not going to completely accept it in an instant."

"Alright dude, but you better hurry up. It's almost time to go."

I swear, Number II and IV were the exact same person. Except one was almost twice as old as the other one. But that's just pointing out the obvious. Shaking the thought from my head, i sat next to him, sighing.

"What's wrong?" Xigbar asked, laying his eye on me and not where his arrows went. For some reason, this improved his accuracy. 3 out of 5. I wonder if his eye patch help any.

"I'm just...so bored." He laughed. I glared at him, but found it to be useless when he wouldn't stop. I should just let him have his fun. We weren't doing anything important anyway.

"If you're bored, then you should find somewhere else to be besides here. This room reeks with boredom, and it's sucking you in it, just like the darkness. May I recommend Zexion?"

"What does Zexion have to offer that you don't?" I realized this statement sounded a little clingy, but I didn't think Xigbar would catch it. Instead, he scratched his scar, looking up at the ceiling in thought. I couldn't help but wonder what his eye patch concealed. However, that was just one of his many physical oddities. His hair was streaked with gray, but he was nowhere near a senior age. Come to think of it, Even Xaldin was a few human years ahead of him. The scar on his face also made me ponder what he had been through. Was it worth asking about?

"You know, I haven't been to see the little dude in a while, so I wouldn't know what you could do with him." His response struck me away from my thoughts, causing me to blink a few times before refocusing on his face and not his eye.

"Why don't you go see him them?"

"As if! The guy's a fucking nut case. I prefer Marluxia. 'Cept Marluxia is off doing research with Zexion so...there's no point in leaving. Besides, it's comfortable here and I don't feel like moving."

"What about the others? You all seem to have a bond with each other."

"Well like Demyx explained, we're all eventually gonna go to the beach. But at the moment, everyone is kinda separate. Lexaeus and Vexen are stalking little children-" He began his explanation, numbering the members as he passed them on his fingers.

"Saix and Xaldin are out explorin' the different worlds-"

Damn, that sounds fun.

"Larxene is doin' whatever the hell she does everyday. I think she like, stalks Marluxia or somethin'."

I should fix that.

"Axel and Demyx are training, and you and I are sitting right here"

I nodded, accepting what he said. But I stopped suddenly, recounting in my head.

"Wait, what about Luxord?"

"I don't know."

"But you are his assigned mentor. How could you have lost track of him already?"

Xigbar didn't answer, redirecting his eye towards his targets. However, his accuracy reflected discomfort. 0 out of 5.

"Xigbar?"

"Yes?"

"Where is Luxord?"

"Ask him yourself."

"Where can I find him?"

A shrug.

I began to grow impatient, trying to find a way to coax an answer from Xigbar. He seemed to notice this, and finally sighed in defeat.

"He's just wandering the castle. I ditched him a few hours ago because I thought I'd make him work on such a relaxing day. He said he wanted someone to talk to so I turned it into a hide and seek game. If he really wants to talk, he can come and find me. Nothin' much to it." I blinked, trying to comprehend his reasoning, He grinned wickedly.

"I mean it's not like he doesn't enjoy it."

As if on cue, the door to the room opened. In stepped a calm, yet somewhat annoyed Luxord. Number X was probably the most mental, yet conservative member in the group. He enjoyed company when he found it, but most of the time he was seen alone, playing a quiet game of solitaire. After I assigned Xigbar as his mentor however, things changed. Luxord seemed more relaxed, yet slightly stressed. He opened up more, and he was quickly forgotten as a second Zexion. The two of them worried me though. Xigbar had a habit of sneaking a few gulps of alcohol before anything, and he didn't mind sharing, just as long as he had the bigger share. I wonder if Luxord was that much of a drinker to even try what Xigbar kept in his dorm.. Unfortunately, my thoughts were disrupted again when Luxord approached a rather nervous Xigbar.

"What was that for you simple minded imbecile?" he said, growling under his breath. Xigbar raised his hands in false surrender, his weapon and the clones disappearing. I could almost see a light shade of red come across his face.

"Hey man, chill. I was just havin' a little fun, that's all. No need to go overboard."

"Am I to assume you do this to everyone? Because I have failed to see this happen before."

"Well ok, I've only done it once – BUT you gotta admit, it was kinda fun." Luxord simply glared at him. After what seemed like hours, he finally left the room through a portal without a word. Xigbar's immature smile left his face, only to replace by a small frown.

"It seems he does not want to talk to you anymore..." I said, slightly amused.

-The Beach-

A few hours later, I found myself on the sandy shores of the beach. Demyx told me to dress casually, but all I could find were my old lab coats and the Organization uniform. So instead, I went and borrowed some clothes from Axel, who had bought them 3 sizes too big.

It's a long story.

I looked around, seeing the members linger and generally have a good time. Demyx and Axel were in the water, Zexion was on the shore reading, and so on and so forth. Luxord was pacing the beach, not really knowing what to do.

"PUT ME DOWN NOW YOU BIG DORK!" Larxene's shrieks redirected everyone's attention towards her. Saix had her struggle form in his arms, he himself giggling along with Vexen. Saix then began to spin around, finally tossing her into the freezing water. Larxene came up to the surface, glaring at Saix and Vexen. They threw themselves on the ground in a fit of laughter, but were soon caught off guard when Larxene charged after them.

"I'm gonna get you for that!!" she yelled. She then chased them around the beach, narrowly missing Zexion and Marluxia. The whole afternoon went well after that. Axel and Demyx had a surfing contest, giving Luxord something to do. Demyx won, and so did Luxord. Larxene eventually caught up with Vexen and Saix, burying them both neck deep in the sand. Xigbar watched the group from afar, his face blank. It was apparent that he had not done anything about earlier, and had simply let it be.

Before I knew it, the sun was already gone, and the only light we had was from the bonfire Axel had made. We all sat around it, admiring it's glow. Xigbar had chosen to sit next to Luxord, Axel next to Demyx, and Larxene next to Marluxia. Everyone else simply joined the circle haphazardly. Demyx sighed in content, looking up at the full moon. It was larger than normal which captivated most of the members, but its mysteries were still concealed. Failing to find any of the answers, Demyx looked back at the group.

"It'd be totally cool if we could do this everyday." he said. Axel agreed with him, hugging his knees close to his chest. For a minute, he seemed hypnotized by the fire, his eyes glazed over in thought and preoccupation. He was growing more distant as each day passed, and I questioned his loyalty to the group. He was not a threat yet, and I was going to make sure to keep it that way. Still, my defense seemed to falter as he left out a small, sad sigh. He quickly snapped out of it however, when Luxord took out a big bottle of vodka.

"What's a good vacation without a little liquor to calm your senses?" he said mischievously. He was mocking with the obviously stolen bottle. Xigbar didn't seem to care however, and simply grinned in approval. The others did the same. I watched as Luxord took a gulp of the liquid, passing it around the circle for everyone to share, Xigbar taking two. Larxene finally passed it to me, but I hesitated taking a swing. Everyone else cautiously watched me, silently coaxing me to drink some. I wasn't the drinking type, but I wasn't going to be the one to clean up their vomit tomorrow either. I swirled the vodka in the bottle, raising it in the air.

"To Kingdom Hearts" I said proudly.

"To Kingdom Hearts" they echoed. Tipping the bottle over, I took a swing.

The rest of the night was a blur to me.

Whee!! So like yeah, this is the end of chapter one. It'd be nice if you could review, that way I'd know your thoughts on it. I don't care if it's good or bad, just as long as it's constructive. But anyway, review and stuff. I love you all!! Whoever you are!!
