Zexion P.O.V.
I walked down the beaten path leading into the slums of the Japanese style town. I was here on a recruitment mission. Somewhere nearby in this world, there was an especially strong nobody in hiding. This world was known as Serretei, and all of its inhabitants were highly skilled swordsmen and swordswomen. I had to be careful or else I was no better off than road kill. The only things I knew about the new member were this:
Female
15 years old
A swordswomen
Unpredictable
Could control a person literally at a glance directly in the eyes
I had just made it into the deepest part of the slums when I sensed her, a strong dark aura coming from within a small rickety and seemingly abandoned hut. It was in ruins, but still standing by pure miracle alone. I took a deep breath and then entered the house. I walked right into her trap. Immedialty after entering the house, she had me frozen in place with a sword blade pressed up against my throat. I knew that if I didn't play this off correctly, I would die right here and now. I couldn't see anything within the house, so I was at a major disadvantage. I felt her breath against my ear as she whispered," I am taking you to a different room to look you over, say a word or even move the wrong way. I will slit your throat and vaporize you with a grand ray cero. Got it?" I simply nodded mutely as I felt her presence move to in front of me and I felt her grab me by the wrist. She dragged me along as I stumbled blindly through the dark house until we stopped dead. She then moved what soon was shown to be a curtain and we moved on into a large library lit up by dozens of candles.
I was then roughly shoved down onto a soft surface slightly off the ground. 'But, wasn't she in front of me?' I didn't have long to think on that as I righted myself to be looking up at her. Her appearance was very striking and out there putting it mildly. She had pale skin, electric blue eyes, blood red hair not quite unlike VIII's in appearance. She was also about my height (5'2' to 5'3') and was very skinny. She wore a white haori with white thigh length short, Japanese wooden sandals without toe socks, and to finish it off, 3 golden rod earrings in her left ear. I then refocused on her face only to find my own to heat up to a bright red. I had been caught staring at her.
She simply smiled warmly and chuckled lightly. 'Amazing. A completely different personality then before….' She then stooped down and sat down on her knees in front of me to meet me at eye level. She looked at me scrutinizing for a few moments then grinned a lopsided grin. "You don't seem to be an enemy, so…..why would you come to my home?" I cleared my throat and mentally reviewed the speech I had prepared to tell her. "I am Zexion. I am a member of a group of people called the Organization. We are all a type of heartless called nobodies. Heartless are people or souls who have died with or because of an extreme amount of darkness or despair in ones heart. This impurity within the heart causes its self destruction. We are extremely strong willed people who died by heartless who ripped out our hearts..." I paused to let that sink in for a moment then moved on." Are you aware that you do not have a heart or pulse?" She just nodded simply and answered," Go on. You still haven't told me why you're here." I nodded simply and continued on.
"Well, our leader Xemnas has found a way to get our hearts back. It is called Kingdom Hearts, which in itself is an assembly of other hearts stolen by heartless then recollected by members of the Organization. We recognize you as a possible asset to the Organization. I came here after senseing your prescence and tracking you down to be here. So, will you join us? Will you help us attain our hearts once more?" She stared at me uncertain for a moment then brightened up and nodded happily." Of course! But only on a few conditions." I metally slapped myself. 'Another one of those kind of people.' I just sighed and nodded.
"Name them." She then proceeded to liven up even more and grin as she spoke," Well, first of all is that you Zexion, will be mine. I have imprinted on you and I think you are a good person. Second, I wont except liars. If I catch anyone in the organization lieing to me, I will reprimand them myself or even worse. I will leave. And one last thing…..You have to promise e that I will have true Nakama. Those are my only conditions." I looked at her uncertainly. "That is …all?" She just nodded again and then held her hand out."If you will uphold these things. Then I will serve your cause until my end or the objective is accomplished. Take my hand and we have a deal."
This was almost to easy, and besides. She said she claimed me, what was she? A guard dog of some sort? I shook off the thought and grabbed her hand in which she almost immedialty pulled me up back onto my feet. I then opened a dark portal and motioned towards it."This way please. It leads into Castle Oblivion, the Organization home. It lies within the World that Never Was. " She simply stood there and then I realized that she still had a firm grip on my right hand. I looked at her quizzically , non-verbally asking why. She responded with," remember condition one. You are mine, so we go together. " I simply nodded in a awkward understanding and walked side by side with the girl through the portal.
We exited the portal within Xemnas office and to my greatest pleasure, the superior was already within the room expecting us. He cocked an eyebrow after seeing us holding hands, but then carried on without any word of it. " You girl. What is your name?" She simply stated monotonously," Fasha." Xemnas then smiled warmly….sort of. "No longer are you Fasha. You now follow the way of the coat. With this new path, a new identity. From this day till your heart is returned to you, you will be known as Faxash the Freer of Souls. Or in short, Number XV of the Orgaization." He then gestured to her sword."That is what you wish to use in service to the Organization?" She looked at him sternly and nodded mutely. Xemnas then opened up a dark portal and pointed to it."VI, take XV to her room and introduce her to the others. You are her official temporary guide and overseer of her until she knows all of the ropes of the job." I bowed and responded," Yes, master." Then lead her hand in hand through the portal. We were deposited into a blank white all over room.
I gestured in a panoramic way with my arms and explained," This is your room. It is at the very end of the hallway and next to Foriuxocol the demon. You will also share a bathroom with him. Your new clothes are already in the closet. You are to always were the customary black cloak when on duty or in the superiors presence. Any other time, you may wear what ever it is you would call…"street clothes" and sleep wear is also whatever you wish it to be. Any questions?" She shook her head the replied," The only thing I wish to know is may I continue my practices of other things while here or am I to die of boredom?" She had a light sense of playfulness in her voice so I decided to go along with it.
"No, you may continue any form of hobbie or extracurricular activity you llike as long as it does not cause danger or to much disruption within the castle. Any thing you wish to buy that is not furnished by the Orgaization must be bought with munny and treasure you find on your mission from othr worlds or be part of your missionly pay. If you need me, I will be down in the library reading if you need me. If you get lost, just ask anyone you see. No one here isn't a part of the organization. Oh, and also. Do you know how to summon a dark portal?" She nodded and then made a shoing motion with her hand towards me.
"I got it from here Zexion-kun. Now go, I would like to think you aren't a perverted type and would give me my own time to change. DO you mind?" I blushed fiercly and practically sprinted out of her room, shutting the door behind me. I could hear her laughing hard through the wooden door and sighed." This being claimed thing may be harder to deal with than I thought." With a stressed groan, I opened a dark portal to the library and nearly collapsed onto my favorite rading chair. It was an old antique plush chair with slightly fraying dark navy blue material on mahogany wood legs. I sank into it relaxed and randomly grabbed the first book I could reach without getting out of my spot. I looked at the cover in amusement, "The History and Biographies of the Serretei and Hueco Mundo". I looked at the book for a moment longer before tearing into it.(metophrically speaking. I would never harm or damage one of my own or anothers book on purpose, it's a waste of potential knowledge that way) It appeared to be one of the books meant for or about Faxash that were transported here when she arrived. I delved into it with awe and curiosity. I soon realized that Faxash was a more complex person than I could have ever imagined.
