Organization Thirteen had regrouped, becoming reborn from the darkness, a now, they had a new Keyblade wielder. The child's name was Arixane. She walked in the Round Room. The silver haired man looked down on her with a pleased look in his orange eyes. The blond man behind her, was silent.
"Good Friends, I give you, Arixane, the new Number XIII, one of the Keyblade's chosen." The silver haired man's voice boomed in the room, making the new Nobody jump. All the other people looked to her, the key to their hearts. Her silver eyes were wide as she looked at each and every one of them. The man behind her laid his hand on her shoulder, almost in a comforting way. Arixane sighed and they were dismissed. The blonde man led her out of the room.
"I'm Luxord, Arixane. If you have any questions, just come to me, I'll do my best to answer them." He told her in a soft voice. Arixane nodded, the man, Luxord led her down a hall, passing a few open doors, Arixane peered through them quickly, seeing the red-head from the meeting, they met gazes and she looked away.
"That one is Axel." Luxord told her. They stopped in front of a closed door at the end of the hall. Arixane looked to Luxord.
"Why am I here?" She asked him. Luxord looked at the girl.
"You're here to help us and yourself become whole again." Luxord told her, Arixane looked down, her black hair falling into her face.
"Whole, again?" She muttered. Luxord would explain later. He let Arixane in her room and left her to go to his room. He sat at the table playing a game of solitaire. He concentrated on the game.
Arixane sat in her room She wondered what the silver haired man meant by the new Number Thirteen, was there one before her, what happened to them? There was a knock at her door. She looked up and saw the red-head, Axel.
"Hi." He greeted her. Arixane looked at him, then looking back down, maybe she could just ask this guy about the other Number Thirteen.
"Axel? That's your name right?" She asked, the red head looked at her with his pretty turquoise eyes.
"Yeah. I see you've gotten it memorized." He replied, the way he said that told her that she would be hearing something along those lines a lot if she talked to him often.
"The silver haired man on the highest chair, he called me the New Number Thirteen, was there one before me?" She asked him. The red-head's eyes leveled with the floor.
"Yeah, but no one talks about him anymore. If I were you I wouldn't talk to anyone else about him." Axel told her, Arixane nodded. She looked to the floor and out the window. There wasn't any moon or stars. It made her feel lonely. Axel lingered in her room, only to leave after she didn't say anything else. Arixane stood up and watched the black clouds circle in the sky around the castle. She wondered if she were to walk around if she would get in trouble. She decided that she'd just take the chance and go out. There was something in her that made her never stay still. She stuck her head out of the room and left, walking outside the room and down the opposite direction Luxord had brought her, she took a right turn and was greeted by another hall identical to the one behind her. She sighed, someone could get lost here.
She wanted to continue, but she knew she should not until she was given a whole tour of the place. She shrugged and went down the hall. Coming to big room she was on the second story, she looked down and saw a blue floor, a man with an eye patch was fighting some wiggly things, they were somewhat tall and their mouths looked like zippers. She raised her eyebrow, should she help him? The man looked like he was holding up pretty well, then they started closing in on him. Her eyes widened as he took them out quicker than she could imagine. The weird creatures stopped showing up after a few minutes.
He looked up at her with a single golden eye. Arixane took a step back, but she bumped into someone. She turned around and he stood there. Her eyes widened as she looked back at the blue arena, then back at him. The man was laughing.
"How did you do that?" She asked quietly, the man looked at her, still laughing. What was he laughing at?
"These things called dark corridors." He told her. She raised her eyebrow again. The man held his arm out to the side a dark portal like thing opened up and the guy shoved her though it. She screamed. She found herself down below, where the man was at first.
"WHAT WAS THAT FOR?" She yelled up at him. He laughed at her. The blonde man that had shown Arixane her room showed up behind the eye patch man.
"What are you doing Xigbar?" Luxord asked, his calm voice echoing slightly in the nearly empty room. 'Xigbar' turned around.
"Giving Arixane here her first taste of our way of getting around." Xigbar replied. Luxord raised an eyebrow.
"Arixane, walk through the corridor beside you if you will." Luxord told her. Arixane did as she was told and found herself in her room. She gave a sigh and sat down on her bed. Luxord stood at her doorway.
"Don't mind him, Xigbar is a bit of a teaser. Just do your best not to make mistakes around him, he won't let it go for awhile." He told her. Arixane looked up to him, meeting his sky blue eyes. She nodded.
"Its late, you should get to sleep, you have your first mission tomorrow." He told her.
"Mission?" She asked.
"You go out on missions to collect hearts so we can recreate Kingdom Hearts. But right now, you have to learn the ropes, how to use your weapon and magic. You'll do fine." He told her, closing the door as he left. Arixane pulled the covers out from under her and slid underneath them. Laying her head on the pillow, it smelled faintly of someone else, like a boy. She fell asleep.
It felt like only a few moments when the door to her room was opened and a familiar British accent woke her from her sleep.
"Time to get up, love. Your mission starts in two hours. I'll show you the girl's showers but anything beyond that would be rather indecent." Luxord told her. She pulled her head up, squinting in the light pouring in from the door. She groaned but got up. Luxord showed her the showers, Arixane went in with the bundle of black clothes that she would change into after she got clean.
By some sort of instinct she got clean and left the showers. Luxord waited for her in the hall. He was sitting on the other side of the hall, shuffling a deck of cards out of boredom.
"Come on, I'll show you the Grey Room, you'll report there every morning. You go to the man with blue hair in front of the window, he has an X shaped scar over his nose. You can't really miss him." Luxord explained on the way to the Grey Room. They entered the big room. She saw the man Luxord was talking about.
"His name is Saix." Luxord muttered. Arixane nodded and they approached Saix. She was quiet as he turned his yellow eyes on her.
"Arixane, you'll be paired with Luxord today. You'll be learning the basics today." He told her with a serious tone in his voice. He intimidated her. A dark corridor opened and she went towards it, hesitating, looking around she saw Xigbar laughing to himself. She glared at him and bravely stepped into the dark corridor. Luxord waited behind, watching the young Keyblade wielder enter the dark corridor. He started after her when Saix grabbed his arm.
"Teach this one better than Axel did with the other one. We aren't going to lose this one the way we did with Roxas." Saix uttered his warning and let Luxord's arm go, he nodded and followed after Arixane.
