(_=you)

I DO NOT OWN KINGDOM HEARTS!

We met in the world of the Castle that never was. We were best friends, inseparable. It went like this.

"Hey! _! What took you so long?" I called.

"Hi Heather!" (that's me!)

"Hahaha! _, you're sooo slooooowwww."

"Shut up! You try to think up an excuse. I'm just tired, that's all." You replied.

"Yeah sure, whatever, _. I teased."

"Hahaha!"

Then came the day you're probably waiting for...

"Hey, _, let's go get some ice cream! I said as we were taking one of our usual walks."

"Ok!" You agreed.

"I'll race you!" I said.

"You're on!"

"Ok, OK! *huff* *huff* You*huff* win, _!"

"*huff* *huff* You mean... *huff* ...like I... *huff* ALWAYS do!" You said, out of breath.

"Pffft, whatever!" I retorted.

"Hahaha!"

"Haha... Hey, _, did you hear about the truck that crashed by the movie theater?" I asked while we were eating our ice cream.

"Huh? Really? When?" You asked.

"Just a couple hours ago. Wanna go see it?"

"Well..."

"Oh? Your not a chicken, ARE you?" I asked.

"Of course not!" You said in a huff.

"Bawk bawk bawk!" I teased.

"Fine! I'll go! After all, SOMEONE needs to protect you."

"What do you mean by that?"

"Oh, you know. But, then again, it's not my fault you can't summon a weapon yet. If you can at all, Heather." You said teasingly.

"It's not my fault either! Don't you think I've TRIED to summon my weapon? I wonder, ALL THE TIME, WHAT I'm doing WRONG!" I started bawling.

"Geez! Is your weapon STILL a nerve? I was just teasing you. ... Hey, Heather. Did you want to go see the truck now?"

I looked at you through teary eyes and nodded.

"Alrighty then. Up you go," you said taking my hand and pulling me up. "You know, I bet your going to be able to summon your weapon REAL soon." you said.

"What makes you think that?"

"Well, Heather, let's just say I can FEEL it."

"I think you're just feeling the heat, _." I said.

"Pshaw. Don't try to flatter me, Heather."

"Haha..."

"See? I didn't mean no harm earlier. I was just teasing you. S'all cool?"

"Yeah... Yeah, _, s'all cool."

"Good! I don't like it when your sad. I just look at you and I get depressed. Your much more like yourself when your happy."

"You too, _."

-A little while later-

"Hey, look _! There it is! The accident!"

"I see it, but I can't believe it...oh, I hope nobody was hurt..."

"I don't think so, _. I would've heard about it."

"Hmph. YOU are supposed to be the powerful source? What a shame." said a male voice. We turned around and seen some one in a black coat wearing a hood.

"Ahhh!" We screamed.

"You have no courage, do you?" He asked mockingly.

"W-we have plenty of courage!" You said bravely.

"_, maybe we should just go…"

"No! He threatens us, and he thinks he can get away with it?"

"Hmm, you're a brave one. But do you have the strength to back up your mouth?"

"Of course!" You say summoning your weapon. "I wouldn't lose to a creep like you!"

"Show me your true power then!" He yelled. "And to help you do that, _, we'll just have to even out the odds."

"What? What do you mean? And how do you know my name?"

He smirked. Before we knew what was what, another person in a black coat appeared behind me and took me into the portal. I ended out on a building not to far away, but you freaked out.

"Heather! Grrr…What did you do with her?"

"Oh, she'll be alright. You should worry more about yourself." He summoned arrow guns and started to attack you. You defended yourself and kept up with him, both of you battling back and forth. You got a major hit to his back, and he warped away.

"Nice shot. But you'll have to do better than that!"

"Urg…" you groaned. You fell to the ground and pretended to be hurt.

"Oh? Giving up already? Maybe you weren't the powerful person we thought you were." He sneered. You suddenly forced yourself up and lunged at him

I broke free of the second clocked figures grip and yelled "HEY! _! UP HERE! DON'T GIVE UP! KICK HIS ASS!"

The second clocked figure put his gloved hand over my mouth so I couldn't talk.

Seeing me on the roof you stopped, giving the first figure just enough time to knock you unconscious. The second figure returned me to the ground. As I watched you being dragged into the black portal, I felt so helpless, useless, and mainly angry.

"NO! _! AUGH!" I screamed, and when I looked down, I seen I had a weapon in my hands. Awestruck, I just stared.

"Well, well, well… it looks like Vexens theory was right after all. Luxord, take her back to the Castle." He walked into the portal with you slung over his shoulder.

"You can do this the easy way or the hard way." A voice said behind me.

I attacked him, but he dodged it. "Too slow," he said. "But…I guess you've chosen the hard way." With one hit, I went out like a light.

When I woke, I seen you getting up. We were surrounded by grey-white walls.

"Ugh, my head hurts…" You said.

"Are you alright, _?" I asked worriedly.

"Yeah, how about you?" You asked.

"I'm fine too." I said.

"What a relief. Hey, Heather, do you know where we are?" You asked.

"No, I don't have a clue." I said.

"The last thing I remember is someone battling me, saying he wants my power… Hey! Heather, why are you here? Can you summon your own weapon now?" You asked, hopefully.

"Huh? Yeah, I can, I summoned my weapon to show you." I said cheerfully.

"Wooo!" We both yelled.

"That's great, Hea-"

"Hope I'm not interrupting anything." A different voice said.

"Who's there?" You yelled.

Stepping out of the shadows, someone walked up to us. "I am Vexen," he said. "You are in Castle Oblivion. There are only two people you need to know here, and that is Xemnas and Saix. Xemnas is our leader, and also gives out the orders. Saix is the one who organizes those orders and makes sure that they are completed. You'll learn your fellow members as you get along. You are now part of Organization XIII. Names?"

"What?" You asked.

"Your names," Vexen said irritably, "what are your names?"

"Oh, I'm _. This is Heather." you said, pointing to me. I waved.

"You," he said pointing at you. "You are number XIV. You get your number once you prove you are worthy." He said looking at me. "Demyx! Come over here."

A boy with a blonde mohawk popped up from a portal. "Yeah?" He asked.

"Was the portal necessary…?" Vexen asked, more irritated than before.

"Well, I didn't want to WALK all the way over here." The boy retorted.

Vexen gave out a long sigh. "This is Demyx." He said pointing at the boy. "You are to battle him, Heather."

"Hey!" You said. "Why does she have to battle him and I don't have to battle nobody? Huh?"

"Because, _, you have already proved yourself against Xigbar." Vexen replied irritably.

"Huh? When?" You asked suspiciously.

"When you two were taken to the castle, of course." Vexen replied. "Now Heather," he said to me, "Summon your weapon so we can start."

"Awww, do I HAVE to?" Demyx complained. When silence was his answer, he said "Alright, Alright. Well, I better get this over with, then." He summoned his weapon and took his fighting stance. I tried out a couple of my own fighting stances.

"Hey, _, give me some help here!" I called frantically.

"Just relax; you'll know your stance when you're comfortable, Heather."

"Kk, I'll try." I said, getting comfortable.

"You look good, Heather. You can do this, I know it! We're best friends, and you've been watching me for awhile. DESTROY him!" You said enthusiastically.

"I'll do my best, _."

We fought, but it didn't seem as though Demyx was taking it seriously. I was fighting fiercely, but he kept evading my attacks.

"Think Heather!" You yelled. "Think where he'll jump to next!" You shouted.

I started to hit him more thanks to your good advice, and the battle was getting more hectic. We exchanged a lot of blows.

After about 45 minutes, I collapsed to my knees. We were both rugged.

"Congratulations, Heather. You passed-barley, but you passed. You are now number XV. If you both train more, you should be able to keep up. But be warned: if either of you try to leave, disobey orders, or not complete a mission, I cannot guarantee your lives' safety. Do you understand?" Vexen said.

"Yes." We replied simultaneously.

"Very well. Demyx, you know what to do." With those last words, Vexen parted down a very long hallway.

Demyx stretched and said, "Well, I guess me and Roxas should show you to your rooms. And when I say me and Roxas, I really mean Roxas." With that said, Demyx walked off down the same tunnel that Vexen went down.

A blonde haired boy came walking towards us, but this time he had blonde spiky hair. "I'm Roxas," he said. "I'm here to show you to your rooms." Roxas started walking away. "Hey!" He said. "Are you coming or what?" He walked further on. After awhile of walking and talking about the Organization and its rules and styles, a spiky red haired guy passed by us. We both stared.

"Hmmm? Oh, that's Axel. He's number VIII. Well, here we are, he said, not noticing our facial expressions. Our rooms were right next to each other. You should rest up for tomorrow. You'll have a lot to do. Goodnight." Roxas said

"Goodnight." we replied.

-Later in your room-

"We've been in for a lot, huh, _? Looks like we won't be living like we normally do." I said, looking at a book.

"Yeah, Heather. It seems like it'll be a fun ride, though." You replied, sitting on you bed thinking.

"Yeah. Did you see that red head? Wow…if I've never seen such a hot guy, I have now." I said.

"Yeah, first one to him wins." You said challengingly.

"Hahaha! Well, I think it's a good thing we went to see that truck accident." I replied.

"Same here. Nice idea, Heather."

"Thanks, but I didn't know that this would've happened. Besides, it was YOU who finally brought out my weapon." I reminded you.

"Hahaha, It would be a little odd if you did! And my best guess would be…THE POWER OF FRIENDSHIP!"

"Hahaha! _, you're so dumb!"

"Hahaha!"

You yawned. "Well, I think I'm gonna go to bed. Goodnight Heather."

"Goodnight, _."
