~Beings~Introducing Zakix~
Xemnas led Axel down to a lower level of the castle. He had told him that he had a somewhat "mission" to give to him, and that it was very important. He led him to what looked like an underground lab, it was then when Axel saw what Xemnas was telling him about earlier.
Entwined in wires, a motionless blond girl was in the air being held up by the wires. Going into her arms, legs, and almost every vein and open area of flesh had something there. Her hair was very long, and about halfway down the light blonde came a dark black. This blackness reached to the tips of her hair, emphasizing how light her blonde hair really was.
Xemnas then turned to Axel, who was staring, mouth agape.
"Her name is Zakix. She-"
"What are you doing to the poor girl?!" Axel shouted, appalled that there has been a seemingly naked girl being experimented on right under the Organizations nose.
"Axel please let me finish. The only reason why she is like that is because she is, different…" *Xemnas took a pause*
"She is a nobody like us, but she has…feelings. A scientist by the name of Lucious brought her here, a long time ago. To study why she could feel, but the tests were never finished."
Axel stood there, taking in the new information and sighed.
"So…why exactly are you telling me this?"
"I need you to take care of her when she wakes up."
Before Axel could say anything more, Xemnas walked over to the wall with 'techie' stuff. He pressed a few buttons, and then turned to look at the sleeping girl.
The sudden noise made Axel jump, then he too looked at Zakix.
The wires slowly pulled away lowering her to the ground. Axel, expecting her to just lie there, was surprised to see her crawl towards him. When she was close enough she grabbed his leg, like a lost puppy. Only then did she open her eyes, obviously not expecting who she saw. As she stared at Axel, she gave a shy smile, cocking her head to the side a bit. All he could notice was how dark purple her eyes were.
Xemnas walked up next to them a black cloth in his hand. Zakix's smile got even bigger, no longer shy. She then hugged Xemnas' leg tightly, because she was still on the floor. Seeing that she lacked clothes, Xemnas put the black cloth over her head. The cloth, which was actually a dress, Zakix put on quickly in embarrassment.
Slowly her eyes closed, and Xemnas picked her up, he then looked at Axel.
"Since she hasn't moved around in so long, that must have been tiring."
"…Yeah…" was all Axel could manage as a reply.

As the three made their way down a bleakly white hallway, Axel was the one who broke the silence.
"So…what exactly do I have to do?"
"What do you mean?"
"Umm, well… Why exactly are you having me, take care of her?"
"It's simple really, ever since Roxas had to leave the Organization you haven't been acting like yourself. I know that it's only been two weeks, but you haven't gone back to your hyperactive prankster self, so I thought that this would be a good idea."
That was when they reached the room marked 'VIII' Axel shook his head pleading.
"Oh no, no…you can't be serious!"
"Zakix will have to stay in your room until I have her room finished." Before Axel could say anything more, Xemnas opened his door and quickly placed Zakix on Axel's bed.
"She will be sleeping for at least the night, you should have her eat in the morning, and then introduce, or re-introduce her to everyone." Xemnas must have known what Axel was going to ask. "She has been around before all of us, so the Organizations founding members knew her before everyone joined."
He then left. Axel, realizing that it was late at night, decided to go to sleep. Remembering Zakix, who was fast asleep on his bed, Axel thought of how he was supposed to sleep.
As he turned towards the silent girl, who tossed on the bed, he sighed a loud sigh.
"This is going to be a long night…"
