Second story. Sorry if the writing is a little off. First time with this style.

So while I was battling with my temporary writers block for A Life UnWorth Living this little piece popped into my head. It's going to be longer but bear with me for now.

Disclaimer: I unfortunately don't own any of the characters from Kingdom Hearts and, unless there's been a will with my name on it, I probably never will.

The Cult of XIII

Chapter One: Early Morning

Eyes fluttered open, awakened by the morning light filtering through the lace curtains of the window adjacent the bed. The girl sat up and stretched in her bed, yawning, wishing there was a little more time before she had to get up before school. However, she knew if she wasn't up and moving bee time her phone rang, she'd be in for another lecture from her best friend. She and Zexion had been friends since grade school, but his reproach on the girl left something to be desired. It was in all actuality quite tiresome.

Sluggishly, the girl made her way to a large mirror on the other side of the room and began to comb out the mess that was her thick, brown hair. As she did so, she noted all of her features. Pretty, chocolate eyes, small button nose, smooth, pink lips. It was almost completely unnecessary to wear any form of make-up. In all respects she was very pretty. She wasn't super-model beautiful or that loud look-at-me-and-give-me-all-of-your-attention good-looking. She wasn't even as beautiful as her best friend, but she was pretty enough never to be called ugly.

Her attention was claimed away from the mirror, when her small silver and black cell phone went off. Pacing back over to the bed, still brushing out her hair, she looked at the name on the phone. Zexion's name was flashing in fancy digital letters. Sighing, she pressed the talk button. "Hello Zexion."

"Jade. You're up," the voice on the other end of the phone said.

"And you're calling earlier than usual."

"Yeah well," There was a brief pause before he continued. "I was wondering if we could get to school a little earlier today. I mean if you don't mind that is."

"You're the one driving. But why do you need to get to the campus early?

"Some relatives of mine are transferring in. They got here yesterday, but today is their first day. I want to make sure they're all acquainted with their new surroundings and…" There was a longer pause.

"And what?"

"And I want to know… that they're going to be okay around everyone."

"Alright then. What time do you need me to be ready?"

"Can you be ready to go in half an hour?"

"Sure thing. See you then."

"Thank you. I really appreciate this. Oh, I almost forgot. My cousin Saix will be coming with me to pick you up. We're going to meet everyone else there."

"How many relatives are transferring exactly?"

There was a low chuckle from his end of the line. "You'll see when we get there. See you a few, okay?"

"Okay. See you in soon." She hung up and went back to her mirror. "Better get ready then."

...xXxXx... Meanwhile:

"You know she sounds nice," a tall teen with long blue hair said. He was built perfectly with beautiful features. The only flaw was an X-shaped scar between his eyes. And even that didn't damage his beauty. His intense amber gaze pierced the smaller boys next to him.

"I'm warning you, Saix. Stay far away from her." The late-haired teen turned azure eyes away from the older boy. He was just as beautiful as the blunette. He was smaller and appeared much more feminine than the other but masculine all the same. Sharp facial features were half hidden behind thick slate hair. Only one eye was clearly visible and brought a more appealing look to him.

"I'm not so sure that'll work, Zexion." The elder laughed and shrugged into a black jacket with blue designs on the arms, collar and seams. Its back said PURE ADRENALINE in gothic font. "I mean, we are going to be in the same car and all."

Zexion turned back to the elder with a scowl on his face. "You and the others are going to behave yourselves. You know very well how important his is for the head. Mess it up and he'll have your head on a platter." A small hiss escaped the back of his throat.

Saix blinked a few times, shocked at how defensive his cousin could be over a mere girl. His shock turned into a grin as he nodded. "But of course, VI. You are in charge of us 'relatives' of yours."

"The arrangement wasn't my idea," the younger snapped. "And you know that."

"Yes, but you seem to have the favor of the head. It's no wonder you have more privileges than the rest of us."

"I have more privileges because I have more self-control than the rest of you. Aside from XIII that is." He pulled on his coat and grabbed his car keys. His coat was long with purple designs similar to Saix's. On its back was the kanji for mind. On the right sleeve were HEART, MIND, and SOUL.

"Where are you going anyway?" Saix asked. "I thought you told the girl a half hour?"

"Starbucks. She's slow in the morning."

"You really like this girl, don't you Zex?"

"Shut up VII," he replied stalking out the front door.

Saix snickered following him. "As you wish. Zexion."
