Title: Why?
Summary: What went on in Xion's mind during her first couple of weeks in the Organization..?
Spoilers?: Kingdom Hearts: 358/2 Days.
Characters/Pairings: Minor hints at RokuShi--as minor as the actual game makes them, I think.
Xion, Roxas, and the general Organization members.
-----
I entered the round room.
Everybody staring at me...
Who are they?
I can't even tell.
The 'Organization XIII'...
That name, that means nothing to me.
It doesn't give me any idea who they are.
There is only one boy...one boy who catches my attention.
I don't know his name, yet...
But he seems so much different from the others...
Why?
I look up at him...the one directly in front of me...
Does he see me? I do not know.
I don't know.
I go through motions daily: sleep, awaken, eat, train for missions..
What missions?
What does all of this mean?
I can't stop watching that boy...
"Roxas." Someone says his name, but I don't know who it is. It doesn't matter.
I watch as Roxas and another Organization member leave through a portal.
We always leave through a portal.
Days pass, I don't know how many.
It's not important to know how many.
People leave, only around half remain.
Where did they go?
I didn't know. I didn't need to know.
A mission with Roxas, the next day. What do I do?
I still don't know what the missions are for.
Roxas talks, but I don't remember his words.
I follow, lost. What else am I supposed to do?
Spells, fire...I barely remember, but I try.
I try my hardest.
Mission over, and he stays behind in the town.
I return to the castle like always.
But another mission comes the next day. Another mission with Roxas.
Always the same: fight the 'Heartless.'
What is a 'Heart'? What does it mean not to have one?
I don't understand.
I follow Roxas. I try to attack, I use fire.
It's all that I know how to do.
The 'Heartless' are quick, but I can hit some of them.
Roxas does most of the work.
Why?
Why can't I fight more?
I want to help..
We finish the mission.
But why do I not want him to go?
Don't go... "R..." Roxas.
No, try harder. "...Roxas..."
His footsteps stop, and he asks me what I said.
"Your name..." Was I right? I turn around to face him. "It's Roxas, isn't it?" Words come more easily.
With each word, the next comes more easily.
"Yeah, Xion.." He says my name. The name I had paid no attention to. Number XIV...Xion.
"That's right," Roxas told me.
I nodded, and turned back around to go back to the Castle.
Maybe I was right. Roxas is different.
He was the first one to say my name so kindly.
