Author's note: Well here's Lost souls chapter 1! Finally I got a name. I have 18 pages of this done, except it was made a year or so ago, and the grammar's pretty bad, so I've been trying to mop it up. Please excuse any crappy written sentences, it won't happen in the newer chapters. Oh, and I know Romeo and Juliet is not a chick lit book. (Read on...)

Chapter 1
The new nobody named Naminé
"Sir," Axel said as he entered the meeting room. "There's something you should look over."
"What is it?" Xemnas asked in a bored tone. Axel handed over a folder and Xemnas skimmed it.
"We don't need replacement Nobodies." Xemnas said, putting the folder down.
"Sir," Axel said. "She isn't just a replacement. She's Kairi's Nobody."
Xemnas paused, looking over the folder.
"She would be of use." Xemnas said slowly.
"And Roxas is catching onto something, with her around Roxas will probably calm down more." Axel added.
"When can you have her?" Xemnas asked.
"Within the hour." Axel replied.
"Go." Xemnas said, and Axel left.
45 minutes later the girl named Naminé was seated at the meeting table. They had told her about Nobodies, and how she was one. And why she should join them. When they were done, she laced her fingers and looked at them.
"Right. I'll join..." Naminé said slowly. "But do I have to wear a cloak?"
"For the time being, no." Xemnas said, smirking.
Naminé tossed and turned in her bed that night, unable to sleep. She got up and wandered outside. There were a few torches lit, but otherwise it was pitch black. Recognizing a door, Naminé pushed it open to find herself in the library.
"Might as well read something." Naminé muttered to herself. Grabbing a random book off the shelf she started to read by candle light. She paused and looked at the cover. Romeo and Juliet?
Frowning, Naminé went to the nearest shelf and started searching. Nope, their weren't any other love books or anything. They all seemed ancient.
"Guess Xemnas likes chick lit's or something." Naminé giggled to herself and grabbed another book bound by a green cover. Opening it, she read,
Of the Nobodies the dusks are weakest. Those with more power may control high ranked Nobody's -
Naminé sighed in disgust and slammed the book closed.
"Hard, isn't it?" Naminé heard a boy's voice say.
"Huh?" Naminé jumped a foot in the air. She stood up and spun around, seeing a boy's outline flickering in the candle light.
What was his name? Naminé thought. It stared with an 'R'…Rocks-ass or something...
"What's hard?" Naminé asked, her head to the side.
"Remembering all your memories." Roxas said. "You can feel like you know something, but you don't know how. Your head just randomly hurts, as your memories come back. I don't know any of mine."
Naminé bit her lip and looked away, then suddenly stood up.
"I have to go." She murmured, leaving the books and walking out of the room. In the corner of her eye she saw Roxas, a confused look on his face.
Over the next few days Naminé figured out all the Organization Member's names. She managed to figure her way around the castle, but got lost alot of the time. Like now -
"What are you doing down here?" Luxord asked as he turned a corner and saw Naminé.
God he's freaky...who wears and earring shaped like the Nobody symbol? ...And why does he have a British accent?
"You shouldn't be wandering down here." Luxord said.
"Why not?" Naminé asked.
"It's not safe. Follow me."
He took her arm and pulled her back up a flight of marble stairs..
"There's that little brat!" Larxene shrilled as they reached the landing.
"Huh?" Naminé looked confused.
"You stole my perfume!" Larxene accused.
"Why would I?" Naminé asked politely. "Ask Marluxia."
"Excuse me?!" Marluxia said. He drew his pink scythe as Larxene pulled out her sharp claws.
"Hey! What'd I say?" Naminé squeaked, backing up. Marluxia swung out his scythe and Naminé jumped back, a squeal of fright escaping her lips.
"Enough!" Xemnas' cold voice said and they looked up to see the rest of the Organization there. Roxas was looking stunned, probably wondering why a Organization Member would attack a new member, least of all a girl.
Larxene ignored Xemnas and lunged at Naminé. Naminé couldn't avoid her in time and felt several sharp pains in her stomach. Her vision blurred as she fell to her knees, hugging her stomach.
When Naminé woke up the first thing she saw was white – white everywhere. She blinked to get everything in focus and saw she was in a pure white room, with drawings put up on the walls. Naminé was lying on a white blanket, and had a white blanket over her, along with a white pillow.
"Good afternoon." A girl's voice said cheerfully.
"Where…am I?" Naminé murmured, rubbing her eyes..
"In a dream." The girl said and Naminé sat up.
"Huh?" She asked. The girl had Red-brown hair and a pink dress on. "Who're you?"
"I'm Kairi." The girl said cheerfully. "And your Naminé, aren't you?"
Naminé nodded slowly, then looked her up and down – she looked oddly familiar. "Have we met before?"
"Well…" The girl started. "You could say so..."
"How?" Naminé asked, automatically lacing her fingers again.
"Well…I'm your Other."
"Oh." Naminé replied quietly, wondering if she should have asked..
"Naminé," Kairi said. "You know your true name, but none of your memories?"
Naminé frowned at her comment as everything went hazy.
"Kairi?" Naminé asked.
"Don't worry." Her voice said before Naminé slipped into oblivion again.
"You idiot! What if you had killed her?" A man's voice roared. "I ought to turn you into a dusk-"
"But you won't." Said a girl's voice, tauntingly. "Because you need me."
"You do something like this one more time and we won't need you." The man's voice said again.
There were footsteps, cursing and arguing.
I must be dreaming...
"Hey, kid." Naminé heard a guys voice say, softer and more kinder then the first. It seemed to be coming from the room. "What're you up to?"
"Waiting." A young male voice replied, close to Naminé's head.
There were a few footsteps, sounding like they were heading closer to Naminé.
"Will she wake up soon?" The young voice asked. "Will she even be alright?"
"Kid, Vexen is the best healer, she'll be fine."
As Namine's murky subconscious started to vanish, she realized it wasn't a dream. With great effort she opened her sapphire eyes to see Roxas looking back at her.
"Told you she'd be fine." Axel grinned from Roxas' side.
"Hey," Roxas smiled at her.
"Hey," She replied, pushing herself so she was sitting up, and leaning against the back of the bed for support.
"You alright?" Axel asked.
"Yeah," Naminé said, holding a hand to her bandaged stomach. "What happened to Larxene?"
"She's in trouble." Axel grinned. "Marluxia got yelled at a bit, and then gave Larxene back the perfume."
Naminé laughed softly, then winced and rubbed her stomach.
"Roxas!" A voice called down the hall and Roxas gave an annoyed sigh.
"Be right back." He mumbled, then left.
"And what about the girl?" Naminé asked, sounding confused.
"What girl?" Axel frowned.
"You know, the one with red hair. She said her name was Kairi, and-"
Axel looked alarmed at what she was saying. "What are you talking about?"
"I suppose it was a dream." Naminé frowned. "She even said it was..."
"I think you need some rest." Axel said. "And don't let any Organization Members hear you say that name."
Naminé nodded and laid back down as he left. She was almost asleep, when Kairi's words came back to her.
"You remember your true name, but none of your memories?"
