AN: YAY! New story! I haven't written a new story since Remembrance and High School Hearts [and High School Hearts II, coming soon]. Please review and enjoy!

Disclaimer: I will only write ONE disclaimer for every story. Why? Because it's stupid to keep writing them in your chapters. Besides, if we owned Kingdom Hearts, then we wouldn't have to write these stories for our pleasure. WE COULD JUST MAKE ANOTHER GAME. But, since everyone else writes pointless disclaimers, I will just write ONE to make my readers happy in knowing I don't own said game.

Thanks to: KHCrazy for letting me borrow her character Xanthi, and I give her full credit for that character spoken of in this story. You can read about her in the story by KHCrazy, "Xanthi". On with the show!

Chapter I

Xialon's Point of View

"Things aren't going to be easy around here, are they?"

"Linoa, why are you alone?"

"I don't know, Oren. But I know that I'm meant for something bigger than loneliness."

I stirred in my rock-hard bed, the voices echoing in my head. A breeze blew swiftly in my room, leaving me shivering cold, clutching my legs for warmth. I finally flickered my eyes open, my eyes adjusting to the brightness that filled the room despite the pitch black darkness I was used to.

When my eyes finally got used to the light, I looked around the barren room; I was positive I was alone. I saw a small couch, a white dresser, a large mirror hanging on the wall, a black bookshelf, and a tiny closet. I turned to my left, and saw nothing but a wall and a window that viewed a large, heart-shaped moon.

I finally sat up in the flat, cold bed. My eyes blurred brighter than the room (that's possible?), giving me a strong headache. My eyes were focused once again as I heard someone knock on the door.

A slim man with flaming red hair and pure emerald eyes walked through the door.

"Who are you?" I asked weakly, the headache still hurting, leaving me raising my hand to my head, still in agony.

"I'm Axel," he introduced himself. His voice was smooth and soft like velvet. "Come with me."

"Wait a second. I'll be right there." I walked towards the mirror on the wall. I nearly screamed at my reflection. Fortunately, my mouth only hung agape to what I saw. A girl stood with waist-length black hair with midnight blue and lavender streaks and azure, glassy blue eyes. Is this… me? I thought, inspecting my hair with curiosity. I apparently have eye-length bangs and thick braids from either side of my head that meet in the center of the back of my head.

"I see you now know of your appearance," Axel smirked, gesturing me to finally, after the surprising observation of my new look, come with him. I walked towards him and exited through my door, noticing on the front it said in big, bold letters "Xialon: Number XV". I thought curiously about what this meant.

Axel seized my right shoulder, forcing me to turn around and walk through the hallway with him, his arm resting around me. We talked on the way to where ever it was we were going.

"So, what, are you like the 'Welcoming Committee'?" I asked.

"Well, you could say that. I welcomed old friends like Xanthi and Rixsus and Spearox and Exon, but they all walked away from the Organization years ago," Axel replied, still not looking at me. I decided he probably didn't want to talk more about them, so I let it be. For now.

We finally reached a room with 13 tall chairs surrounded in a circle around a flat platform. People in black cloaks like mine sat in every chair. I turned behind me and noticed two people leaning against the wall, but Axel was nowhere to be seen. I looked up in front of me, and saw he was sitting in the high chairs as well. I looked towards the tallest seat, a man with silver hair and petrifying golden-orange eyes staring down at me with his fear injecting orbs.

"Friends," he spoke with a deep, booming voice, "We have gathered here today to welcome another who will wear the coat." The coat? What was he talking about? "I find that our new member's presence shall speed the progress of achieving our goal: Kingdom Hearts." What're Kingdom Hearts? "Treat her with respect, and granted we will succeed in reaching our goal. Everybody work with our new ally: Number XV, Xialon."

Everyone glared at me as I decided that I'd put my hood up as soon as I leave the room.

Once the meeting was over, I mad-dashed through the door without a word. As I departed from the area, I raced through the hallway to my room when a pair of hands grabbed me from behind.

"Why ya runnin', Xialon?" a male voice asked. I turned to see who it was, but I wasn't aware of his identity. He had violet eyes and green, exotic hair that looked like that guy's… Zexion? "'Cause I wanted to get out of there quickly," I responded, deadpan.

The young man turned me around, and stuck out his hand. "I'm Nerox, and this is Bilbyx," he gestured to the girl right beside him. She had brown hair tied up in buns and side bangs that reached her shoulder blade and covered one of her chocolate brown eyes. She extended her hand as well, and I shook both hands. "Well, as you know, I'm Xialon, which is what you can tell by the label on my door," I pointed towards the door to my room.

Nerox laughed, whole-heartedly, if I say so myself. "Well, it's nice to officially meet you, Xialon. Come with us, you can meet the other members," Nerox offered, gesturing towards the Grey Area.

"I'll take up that offer," I replied, flirtatiously, if I might add. I was unknowingly twirling a black strand of hair around my fingers, as if by instinct from my previous life. Who does Nerox remind me of? Did Linoa like somebody kind of like him? I flinched at the thought, and automatically quit twirling my hair and followed my fellow Organization members.

Wow. I never knew how… er, indifferent the Organization is.

I followed Nerox and Bilbyx to the Grey Area, where I saw Axel again. When he looked up and saw me, he rushed on over to us.

"Hey, guys," he greeted, "I can take over for ya and show the newbie around. If you want, of course." I looked up at Nerox and Bilbyx, and they nodded their heads in allowance.

"Great!" Axel blurted out, shooing away my guides like flies. "So, newbie-"

"It's Xialon, actually," I corrected him as he put his arm around me again.

"Okay, Xialon, let me introduce you to my friends, Roxas and Xion." Axel led me to a boy with blonde, spiky hair and cerulean eyes and a girl with short raven hair and same colored eyes.

They turned towards me and smiled. "Hi, I'm Xialon," I introduced myself.

"Xion," said the girl, and the boy greeted me, and said, "I'm Roxas." I smiled back, but Axel already dragged me along.

"This is Xigbar and Xaldin," he pointed to a man with scars on his face and an eye patch, and another with funny sideburns and black hair held in a ponytail. I wasn't so keen on being their friend.

"Hey, Axel," spoke the guy I think is Xigbar, "flirting with more newbies?" I could tell he was joking, but Axel's face was as red as his hair. "NO WAY!" Axel shouted, releasing me from his tight grip around my neck. For a guy MUCH skinnier than me, he sure does have strong muscles. "C'mon, Xialon," he pulled me with him. He stormed away, and stopped at a man with blonde hair and green eyes. He scares me.

"Xialon, this is Vexen, the Organization's scientist."

"How do you do, Xialon? Tell me, how do you feel about… experiments?" Um, if he thinks I'm going to answer that, then you can just slap him silly. Axel ushered me along to an… indescribable member.

"Lexaeus, Xialon," Axel introduced us. Lexaeus turned to me, looked me up and down, then turned away with a grunt. Nice to meet you, too.

Axel and I headed towards a man with choppy, silverish-bluish hair. He held a large book with the Organization symbol on it. "Hello, Xialon."

"This is Zexion," Axel informed me.

"Nice to meet you, Zexion," I greeted.

"Likewise," he replied. I don't know about you, but I kinda like him. Axel hurried me along to a guy playing a sitar and had a mullet.

"Demyx!" Axel shrieked, getting Mullet Man's attention off the sitar. "Say hi to Xialon."

Demyx, I think, looked at me and said, "Uh, hi, I'm, uh, Demyx." I think I saw a slight bit of drool on the end of his mouth as he stared at me. Axel snapped his fingers in front of Demyx's face. "Demyx… Demyx… Don't make me torch you…" Axel cooed. Demyx snapped himself out of it and finally said, "Huh, what?"

Axel turned towards a guy with a couple of piercings on his ears. "Hey, Luxord! Here's the newbie!"

Luxord, I believe is the blonde's name, said, "A pleasure it is to meet you, madam. I am Luxord."

"Alright, let's get a move on!" Axel burst out, pulling me towards another guy. "Sorry back there. I was just saving you from being asked to play poker."

"What's wrong with poker? I'm pretty good at playing," I replied, my eyebrows furrowed.

"Well, let's just say that Luxord has a bad temper if he loses," Axel murmured, leading me towards a guy with pink, layered hair and blue orbs.

"Xialon, this guy is Marluxia," Axel gestured towards Pinky. "Hello," was all Marluxia said. "Um, hi," I responded, kinda sheepishly if you ask me.

Axel guided me away towards a girl with aquamarine eyes and platinum blonde hair sitting on the couch, along with Demyx, Zexion, and Luxord.

"Larxene," Axel muttered ruefully.

"Well, hi there. You must be Xialon. Nice to meet ya," Larxene extended her hand out towards me. I took her hand, but only to let go by the sound of a shock. "Ow!" I screeched, rapidly shaking my hand in pain from that quick second of unexpectation. "Larxene! Her first day, and you're already torturing her? Shame, shame, shame," Axel scolded her.

"Oh, relax. It's not like I electrocuted her whole being, if she had one. Just one small shock," Larxene waved it off. I glared daggers at her and turned towards Axel.

"Alright. Here are the people I haven't introduced you to yet. There's Saïx, or as I like to call him, X-face, and Xemnas, the leader of the Organization. There's also the people I haven't specially introduced you to, but you already know them, like Nerox and Bilbyx." I nodded as Axel identified the people I do and do not know.

"Alright. Thanks, Axel," I waved and walked towards my room. Wow, I thought, things aren't going to be very easy around here, are they?

AN: Alright. This is my longest official chapter. How do I know? Well, it took up five pages on Word Document and it was 1,873 words in total. Anyway, it took me some time, so I'm expecting to get at least five reviews. Let me know what you think!
