Chapter One: Introduction
Zavien stopped in the middle of the field of grass. There it was again. That voice.
"Yield to the darkness in your heart," it whispered in his ear. He spun around to stare into the night. Where was it coming from? "It's easy, I promise." It was a woman's voice.
"Who are you? Where are you?" he asked.
"I'm right here," the voice whispered behind him. He spun around to see a figure in a long black cloak with a hood pulled over its head. "It's easy, I promise," it repeated.
"What do you want?"
"I want you to yield to the darkness."
"Ok," Zavien said, giving into the figures demands. He heard the voice laugh quietly and saw the figure disappear into a portal. The Heartless he had been running from suddenly leaped from under the ground and dragged him down. The pain was terrible, but after a moment he couldn't feel anything anymore. The last thing he saw was the pink crystal shaped heart that was his.
"Come Allexian," he heard as he slipped into the darkness.
They just keep coming, the Nobody thought. He threw his newly sharpen weapon at the surrounding Heartless. It cut through many of the Heartless – which exploded into black dust – before spinning around like a boomerang and coming back to him. He caught it gracefully.
More Heartless filled the spaces of the fallen. What am I going to do? he thought. All at once the Heartless pounced. He threw up his arms to protect himself. He waited for the impact, but it didn't come.
He put down his arms and looked around. 1…2…3… he counted. Twelve people stood around him. All of them wore long blacks cloaks with the hoods pulled over their heads and hiding their faces. Why did they seem so familiar?
"What do you want?" he asked, defensively. His hand tightened on his weapon as he waited for an answer. He was horribly out numbered.
"We want," said one the people, stepping forward," you to join us."
"Who are you?"
"We are a group of Nobodies called Organization Thirteen."
"But there are only twelve of you."
"Yeas, that's why we want you to join us," the Nobody said, a hint of irritation in his voice.
"Ok," he said. The hooded figures all disappeared into black portals. One of the figures motioned for him to follow. He walked into the portal after the person, who had motioned him over,
The portal closed behind him and he found himself standing in front of a marble walkway. The walkway led up to an enormous floating white castle.
"This is Castle Oblivion," said the hooded figure, who smelled strangely like roses and other smelly good flowers.
"It's so big," the newly initiated Nobody marveled.
"Follow me," said the hooded Nobody. They ran up the walkway and through the halls of the castle. After a while they stopped in front of a lightly tanned-pink door. The hooded Nobody pushed the door open and they stepped into a large room.
"Wow."
"This is my room," the Nobody said, throwing back his hood. He had shoulder length, spiky, light brown-pink hair and sky blue eyes. The smile he wore was welcoming. His room consisted of a large baby pink bed, a mahogany wardrobe, a table and a bathroom. Not to mention a large collection of scythes that lined one wall.
"Cool," said the shorter Nobody.
"What's your name?"
"Allexian."
"Mines Marluxia," said the taller Nobody, walking over to the wardrobe and pulling the doors open. He pulled a folded black cloak from one the shelves and handed it to Allexian. "Put it on."
"K," Allexian said, yanking off his black shirt and tossing it onto the bed. He put on the cloak and zipped it up the neck. "Do you have a clip?"
"Yeah, wait here," Marluxia said. He ran to the bathroom and pulled a black hair clip out of a bag. "Here you go," he said. He watched as Allexian twisted his dark brown-red hair and clipped it up. A lock of hair came undone from the clip and fell to border his face.
He's so cute, thought Marluxia, biting his lip. Allexian smiled, cutely.
"So where am I staying?" Allexian inquired.
"Your room is next to Axel's room. Follow me." They left the room and walked down the hall toward a room with a light blue door. They stepped into the room.
"Cool," Allexian murmured. The room's walls were black and it had a blue bed by a large window. A desk sat on one side of the room while a black wardrobe sat on the other side of the room.
"I envy you," Marluxia said.
"Why?"
"You can see the whole city from your window."
"Oh, is it always night here?"
"Yes. Do you want to meet the other Organization members?"
"Sure," Allexian grinned. They walked out of the room and over to a dark red door. They knocked and soon heard someone get up and open the door. Standing before them was a Nobody with spiky red hair. Underneath his emerald green eyes were upside down black triangles.
"This is Axel," Marluxia remarked.
"Hello," yawned the redheaded Nobody.
"Hi," Allexian said cheerfully. Axel looked him over lazily and then sent a glance at Marluxia that said, what the hell do you want?
"Is Roxas with you?" Marluxia asked. Axel glared at Marluxia, but he nodded and motioned them in. A teenager in a black coat was lying on the bed, gazing up at the ceiling.
"Roxas, the new kid is here to meet you," Axel said and plopped down beside the teen. The teen bolted upright and jumped off the bed in one motion. He walked over to Marluxia and Allexian.
"What's your name?" he asked abruptly.
"Allexian," the Nobody said. He fidgeted, as Roxas looked him up and down. He half expected Roxas to started circling him. Roxas smiled and patted Allexian on the head.
"Mines Roxas. You're gonna like Ansem," Roxas said. Allexian smoothed his hair back down and looked up at Marluxia, confused. Marluxia frowned.
"Why do you say that?" Marluxia asked, a hint of jealousy in his voice. Oh my, did I say something wrong? Roxas thought.
"I just know."
"Yeah, ok," Marluxia said, with more than a little irritation in his reply.
"Roxas and I have some things to discuss," Axel remarked, sliding his arm around Roxas's waist.
"Whatever," Marluxia said, rolling his eyes. He grabbed Allexian's hand and pulled him out the door, closing it behind them. Allexian could here Roxas giggling as they walked away and tried to push the thought from his mind.
"That was…strange," Allexian spoke quietly.
"Not really," Marluxia said, dragging him down some hallways and stairs. They stopped in front of a dark blue, with the phases of the moon carved into it. "Ok, stand right here," Marluxia instructed Allexian to stand beside the door.
"Why?"
"Because Saix is very temperamental and you don't want to die the very first day you're here, do you?"
"No," Allexian replied, shaking is head in earnest. Marluxia knocked on the door and then immediately jumped to the side. A blue claymore, that was taller than Marluxia, came flying through the door, shattering it to pieces. "Whoa."
"What do you want?" a voice asked from inside the dark room. Marluxia picked up the weapon with ease and stepped over the wreckage of the door. Allexian crept in after Marluxia, using him as a shield.
"Well…the new kid wants to meet you, although I don't think you were very welcoming…" he was cut off by another flying claymore that missed him by inches and made Allexian wish he could get smaller so as to be out of the way of the deadly weapons.
"Shut up, will you? Your voice is giving me a headache."
"I would, only I really don't want to die."
"If you don't stop talking you will die."
"I don't think," Marluxia said, sounding sure of himself. He stepped into the glow of a lamp's light. The light was just enough to cover the bed. A Nobody with long blue hair and a red X across his face was sitting cross-legged on the bed. Another Nobody with just past shoulder-length silver lay next to him.
"Well, well, Xemnas, fancy finding you here," Marluxia chimed. The silver haired Nobody shot him a warning look and sat up. His cloak was halfway unzipped and as he sat up, it fell from his shoulders to expose creamy golden skin.
"What the hell do you want?" Xemnas asked. Allexian recognized the voice as the Nobody that had asked him to join the Organization earlier. He was obviously the leader and Allexian was surprised the Marluxia would be so frank with him.
"Nothing much, I just wanted you to meet Allexian. Anyway, Allexian the silver haired dude is Xemnas our leader. The blue haired guy is Saix, Xemnas's lover." A small smiled lit up Saix's face.
"I kind of like the sound of that," Saix said, his handing moving slowly up the inside of Xemnas's leg. "It's nice to meet you kid."
Oh god, Marluxia thought. His heart raced with excitement and he wanted nothing more than to jump into bed with them…and bring Allexian along. "Time to go," he said quickly. He grabbed Allexian's hand and walked swiftly back out the door.
"What was that about?" Allexian inquired. He acted like he didn't have a clue what the hell Saix had meant by rubbing on Xemnas, when all he had really wanted was to join them in the fun.
"Nothing, they're just a little screwed in the head sometimes." Was this kid just playing dumb? Couldn't he see that the whole Organization was together and that they were all guys? Well, except for Larxene of course. They walked slowly through the halls of the castle, the moonlight pouring in on them.
They stopped at a blue door with a shield pattern engraved into it. Marluxia knocked on it and a man with platinum blond hair and a goatee answered. He had a tattoo of an ace of hearts on his arm and you could tell just by looking at him that he was a gambler.
"Hey Marly," the man said loudly and cheerfully. He dragged them into the room, shutting and locking the door. Allexian suddenly thought that maybe he didn't want to know these people. "Vexen, Marly and the new kid are here."
"Wonderful, we were just about to start a game of strip poker," Vexen said, coming into view with a devilish grin. Vexen motioned them to sit down at a table which had an entire deck of cards painted on it. Marluxia giggled happily to himself, excitement bubbling up inside him once again. The platinum blond pulled out a pack of cards and started to shuffle them.
"The dude with the goatee is Luxord, he's a gambler. The blond one is Vexen, he's the Organization's scientist and he's a pain." Marluxia whispered to Allexian. Allexian nodded absently as the cards were handed out.
Allexian's first few hands allowed him to keep his clothes on, while Vexen and Luxord had already had to take off some of their clothes. It was a rather odd thing for Luxord to be the one without clothes, because he usually won every game he ever played. Marluxia sat fully clothed and wishing that he would soon have to take off some of his clothes. Luxord had a pair of kings, a ten, a three and two. Vexen had a full house. Allexian and Marluxia had nothing.
"So, whose first?" Vexen asked. Luxord did eeni-meeni-mini-mo and Allexian ended up losing. He looked nervously at the other three Nobodies. Slowly he began to unzip his cloak. He pulled it off his shoulders and let it drop to his waist. He didn't know it, but it was very seductive and it was driving Marluxia crazy.
Marluxia threw off his cloak without hesitation. His skin was smooth and was a beautiful creamy color. Allexian stuck his hands between his legs, that being the only way to keep from touching Marluxia and causing issues.
The next few hands left Allexian in nothing but a pair of boxer shorts. Marluxia wore a pair of black shorts and was waiting intently for the next hand to be dealt. He wanted Allexian out of those boxers, soon. The next hand was dealt and as expect Allexian lost. He nervously looked from Marluxia to Luxord to Vexen. He slowly began to slide his boxers off. Why was he doing this? He was only supposed to meet the Organization, not strip for them! Yet here he was, taking off the remainder of his clothes, for all to see. Not to mention the way that Marluxia was watching him. He bit his lip until a bead of blood ran down his chin and down his neck.
Without a second thought, Marluxia pushed Allexian onto his back and proceeded to lick away the blood. The feel of Marluxia's tongue against his neck sent chills of excitement through his body. Marluxia ran his tongue over Allexian's lips, causing the bleeding to stop. Allexian, without thinking it through, kissed Marluxia.
Marluxia pulled back, surprised. He ran his hands along Allexian's chest and kissed Allexian. Marluxia ran his tongue around the younger Nobodies mouth, tasting every inch of him. Allexian pulled the Graceful Assassin onto him, forgetting about Vexen and Luxord. Marluxia moaned into the kiss and pressed himself harder to Allexian.
Luxord and Vexen stared disbelieving at each other.
"I can't believe they forgot about the game," Luxord whined, to keep himself from thinking about the two Nobodies in front of him.
Vexen rolled his eyes and said, "I can't believe they forgot about us." At the sound of Vexen's voice, Allexian pulled away from Marluxia and sat up quickly. Marluxia fell back on his hands and feet, looking like a child about to cry.
"Sorry," Allexian said, helping Marluxia to his feet.
"Uh, maybe we should go now," Marluxia said, pulling on his clothes. Vexen groaned unhappily. "We'll play some other time, OK?"
"Yeah sure," Vexen answered Allexian and Marluxia hurried out the door and into the hallway. They walked past a lot of the doors before stopping in front of a black door with a silver heart on it. They entered without knocking and Marluxia stood, unwilling to explore the room. It held few too many memories in its walls.
"What's wrong?" Allexian asked.
"This is Ansem's room," Marluxia replied, a hint of hate in his voice. Allexian inspected the room. A black satin bed sat in one corner while a marble wardrobe sat in the exact opposite corner.
"Where is he?"
"Away, killing heartless or flirting with the enemy."
"Oh," Allexian said, interested now. He walked to the wardrobe and yanked it open. Inside a number of cloaks were hung up and a sword that was shaped like a bat's wing, lay in the corner. He reached for it, but it vanished as his fingers brushed against the hilt.
"Only Ansem can wield that blade," Marluxia said, coming up behind Allexian. Allexian felt Marluxia's hand on his waist and allowed himself to be escort out of the room. Marluxia's hand didn't leave his waist as they entered the hall and made their way back to Allexian's room. "Maybe we should finish the tour tomorrow."
"Okay," Allexian said. They reached Allexian's room and said their goodnights. Marluxia quickly kissed Allexian. Allexian smiled then closed the door. He pulled off his cloak and slid his pants and shorts off. He pulled back the satin sheets and climbed under them. They felt cool against his skin and soon he fell asleep.
