A/N: All right, here's Kingdom Hearts 358/2 Days, all from the POV of Night! He's Shadow's Nobody in this. Now, I know Night's name doesn't have an "X" in it, but it makes sense to call him that, in my opinion. Enjoy~

Disclaimer: I won nothing but Night.

KH 358/2 Days, Night's Story

Chapter 1

Who Are We…? Why Are We Here…?

We had met someone named Xemnas, who had taken us into something called Organization XIII, and we didn't know who they were, what they wanted, or how they had found us, but all we knew was that we had nowhere to go. Nowhere to be and no purpose in life…

Our names were given to us when we arrived in the Organization, and I was given the name Night, while my other half, or so we had thought at the time, was given the name Roxas. We were brought into the fold, as one of the members had said, even though we didn't know what that meant at the time. When we were introduced, it was someone named Axel who brought us into the room. Axel would become our friend, but not for a while. Maybe it had been there, and we hadn't felt it, or maybe not. We just didn't know. Roxas and I were close, though. More than just best friends, our bond was one that made us stronger and different from the other members. Roxas and I were dubbed as members 13 and 13½. Obviously I was the half, seeing as I was small. Roxas could use a weapon called the Keyblade, and we could both control light as we pleased, but we didn't know why. We would find out farther down the road. But our story begins on our fifth day of existence, when we were placed under Axel's care…

"Axel, you'll be taking Roxas and Night out for some training today," Saix ordered Axel, and he frowned.

"Man, I have to babysit? That's a bummer," Axel said with a grin. We didn't respond, just continued to look down. "Gonna say anything, chatterbox?" Axel teased, but again, we said nothing.

"Oh, and Lord Xemnas has summoned for us in the Round Room," Saix added, and left.

"Round…Room?" Roxas and I murmured. We didn't talk much, as we were still shy at the time.

"Yeah, the Round Room," Axel said. "You ready to go there and start the meeting?" We just nodded slowly without a word.

Once in our places in the Round Room, Xemnas got everyone's attention. "Everyone, we have a new member to join our ranks today, and they are Number XIV."

Roxas and I watched the new member, remembering when Axel had first brought us in. It was nerve wracking to be in Number XIV's place, and we could still remember the fear. But as Axel had called us, we acted like "zombies" to everyone, even him. We didn't behave like "zombies" to each other, though, or we would have each lost our sanity. Saix had brought in the new member, and whoever it was, we couldn't see their face because their hood was up, hiding it. It wasn't a problem, though. We didn't care either way. But for some odd reason, I could feel something react inside of Roxas, and I felt a reaction in me, too, but I couldn't tell what it was. Neither could Roxas, from the sound of it later after the meeting.

After the meeting, Axel found us and took us to the dark corridor we all use to travel back and forth between our castle and other worlds. We spied the new member as we were about to leave, and Axel caught us watching them.

"Oh, what was that name again, it was on the tip of my tongue…" Axel muttered as Saix came over.

"Number XIV, Xion," Saix said. Roxas and I looked at him.

"Right, that's it, Xion," Axel said. "Alright, you two, ready for some training?" We just nodded slowly and followed Axel through the dark corridor.

When we arrived, it was at the place that Roxas and I had been born and found in: Twilight Town. Upon arriving, Axel put us straight to work.

"All right guys, what you're going to do today is find an item chest," Axel told us. We looked at him, and nodded. We made our way through the underground path, which was where the dark corridor had brought us, and explored along the way. Once we found the chest, we looked to Axel for some guidance.

"Well, we found it," Roxas said quietly. "Now we're done, right?"

"Roxas and Night, that isn't all you do," Axel told us, shaking his head in disappointment. "You need to open it as well to find out what's in it." Roxas used his Keyblade to open the chest, and we got a healing item to help us later on.

"That's the ticket," Axel praised. "Now we RTC."

"RTC?" I asked quietly.

"Yeah, Return to Castle," Axel explained. "Now let's go back to the dark corridor." When we got back to the corridor, Axel stopped us before we went through. "Way to go, guys. Now how hard was that?"

"We could've done that blind-folded," we mumbled.

"I'm sorry, what was that?" Axe said, feigning deafness.

"We said…We could've done that blind-folded," we said, raising our voices.

"I don't think we need a couple of blind-folded zombies on the loose here," Axel said, laughing. "Hey, Roxas and Night, you both deserve a little icing on the cake."

"'Icing on the cake?' What do you mean?" we asked. He didn't say anything, just motioned for us to follow him. When we finally understood what he meant, we were on the top of the clock tower, eating ice cream. Roxas and I each took a bite from ours, and quickly withdrew from it in shock.

"It's salty, but sweet," I said. "But it's good, too."

"That's what you said last time, too," Axel laughed. "Do you guys remember what this flavor is called?"

"No, what?" Roxas asked.

"Sea-Salt Ice Cream," Axel told us. "Got it memorized?"

Roxas and I chuckled, and said, "Yeah."

"First laugh I've gotten out of you two! That's a new record!" Axel burst out laughing. "I remember the first time I brought you guys up here, too," he said, calming down. "It was your first day in the Organization, remember?"

"Not quite, but I think it's coming back," Roxas said. I thought back to that first day, before we even got our coats, and I only had a small jacket for me, but whatever. It was that first day that Axel had brought us up here, and we got to enjoy Sea-Salt Ice Cream that day, too. Hopefully we can keep on doing this, I thought towards Roxas, and he nodded while I balanced on his head. Axel watched us for a moment, and when the sun had finally set, he got up and stretched.

"Man, did the time fly. We'll definitely have to RTC now," Axel groaned as he stretched. I jumped off from Roxas's head and stretched all six of my limbs: my arms, legs, and wings. Roxas got up and stretched, too. And we all left back for the Castle That Never Was. That night, in our room, Roxas and I wrote in the journal we had been given by Saix, and he had told us to write in it to keep our sanity, so we had listened to his advice. As we wrote, we thought about Axel and how we could hopefully become closer, just like today, so we added that into the journal as well. After we finished, we closed our day's eventful writing and went to sleep.

A/N: Okay, I'm editing this and posting the original version I wrote back on DA, but I'll make the appropriate changes as needed. R&R, peeps!
