"I would like you all to meet the fourteenth member of our little family." Xemnas said with a wry grin.

All of the members of the organization looked towards the opening door.

In walked a figure draped in a black cloak, just like their own. The new comer was small, no taller than Zexion, the shortest of the organization. It was clear from the amount of hair and face that could be seen that this "New member" was a female, a young one too.

She removed her hood and revealed a young, pretty face. Her hair was raven black and her eyes, green orbs. "My name is…" She looked to Xemnas.

"Nuxula" Xemnas confirmed.

"Nuxula." Nuxula nodded.

"Now clearly this shall change our name from Organization XIII, to Organization XIV. Now to the rest I say, be kind to our newcomer, make her welcome. That is all." Xemnas slowly hovered down from his large pillar like throne, and the other members did as well.

They all barely even acknowledged her as they left the room, all except Roxas, who urged Axel to go on without him

"Hi I'm Roxas " He said extending his hand.

She gingerly took it and smiled. "Hi."

"Don't mind the others, they were cold to me when I was new too, they'll warm up to you." Roxas assured Nuxula.

"Thanks." He said nervously, she clearly wasn't comfortable not only with Roxas but with this whole situation.

"You're trying to remember your original self." Roxas said, more than asked.

She nodded, "Do you remember yours?"

Roxas somberly shook his head. "No, but, as soon as you entered the room, something told me… that you have something to do with it."

"What do you mean?" She asked.

Roxas shrugged. "I don't know." He said a tinge of sorrow in his voice. 'Come, let me show you around." He motioned for her to follow him out the door. He started by showing her the living room where Xigbar was sitting in his favorite recliner, his eye locked on the big screen TV.

"XIg." Roxas said as he collapsed on the couch next to Xigbar's chair. "Meet Nuxula." He said.

Xigbar glanced up briefly and shook the girl's hand. "Pleased." He said and turned back to the TV.

Roxas sighed, Xigbar was hopeless. He motioned for Nuxula to again follow her out of the room, but as he was going he passed behind Xigbar and gave his chair a strong shove and tipped it over with Xigbar still in it. The chair fell forward and fell onto Xigbar.

Xigbar shoved the chair back up with enough time to see the pair scurrying out of the room, and into the hall.

"You bastard!" Xigbar rushed to the hall way and brought forth his weapon, an odd, gun-like weapon. He took aim and fired several shots Roxas's way.

Roxas quickly brought forth his key blade and deflected the shots away, and then shot forth a fireball, which the older man easily deflected.

Then the two were gone, Roxas whisked them into the kitchen, and Xigbar sighed as he returned to his show.

"Is that normal with that one?" Nuxula asked when the pair was safely in the kitchen.

Roxas shook his head. "There is no normal with Xigbar."

Someone had their head buried in the fridge but Roxas could tell from his short size that it was Zexion. "Yo Zex." Roxas called. And from the shock Zexion leapt up, spilled the cake he was grabbing and hit himself on the fridge, and fell to the floor on his back.

"He looked up at the pair. "I hate you." He said in his monotone voice as he pulled himself up. He gave them one last look before grabbing another piece of cake from the fridge and left the room, headed towards the basement.

'And that one?"

"That actually is his normal." Roxas replied.

Before they could leave the second door to the kitchen opened and in strode Demyx, absent mindedly strumming his sitar. He didn't even notice that he had walked into Roxas. He suddenly looked up, "Oh, oops." He said as he made to exit through the other door but he suddenly stopped himself. "Oh, yeah, Nuxula, Xemnas told me to tell you to meet him in audience chamber." Demyx did not even wait for a response, he just left.

"Do you remember where it is, do you want, me to show you?" Roxas asked.

"No, I know where it is." She said as she left the room. "Thanks, Roxas.

She made her way back into the living room and quietly snuck past Xigbar who was, again enthralled in his show.

When she did reach the audience hall Xemnas was already seated at his largest pedestal. Already in the room was an older member who had long mutton chops and, to her, looked like a monkey.

"Nuxula, this is Xaldin." Xaldin turned her way and gave a short bow then instantly straightened. "I know that you are new but I feel it will be good to get this out of the way now, it is time for your first quest."

Nuxula was shocked at Xemnas's announcement, this was her first day and she already has an assignment?

"It shall not be that difficult but if worst comes to worst, Xaldin will protect you. "You see, we have been given word of a particularly wicked woman living in wonder land. Your job is to make her a heartless and then bring her nobody back here, understood?" Xemnas explained this all very quickly.

"Yes my lord." Xaldin said as he fell into a much lower bow than the one he had given Nuxula. He nudged her with his elbow.

"Oh, yes sir." She said, bowing low as well.
