Hey everyone,
So I know I said that this year there will be a story of eleven chapters with each chapter posted on a single day, but I did some more research into the topic of my story and discovered something. Yes, the story is about the Organization on their day off in 358/2 Days, but by this time several members have already been eliminated.
Zexion, Lexaeus, Vexen, Larxene and Marluxia were all destroyed in Castle Oblivion, which transpired somewhere near the start of 358/2 Days, whereas this story is more towards the halfway through point, so instead of this story having 11 chapters, will there only be four, this because a few chapters will cover 2 Org. members.
Okay, enough said,

A Lazy Day
Chapter 01

Xemnas' POV
It's been over a decade since I tricked Ansem the Wise into believing me a lost boy with amnesia and the plans I have for the future have excelled beyond my wildest dreams. Yet, even when I planned to cover all worlds in Darkness, did I never expect for the Side of the Light to grant me such a delicious little treat.
Roxas. Nr. XIII of my Organization. The Nobody of the boy who is actually destined to take me and my Organization down. And the best of it all, he doesn't only work for me, he also doesn't remember that his Original Self actually fought my Heartless as it seems that, because Sora got reborn, Roxas never received Sora's memories.
Yet, where the boy is exactly what I pretended to be when I came into Radiant Garden after my great Fight against three Guardians of Light, does he still have one thing in common with his Original Self; both of them have the incredible ability to summon forth a Keyblade, which allows Roxas to collect hearts for me.
Of course, almost none of the Organization XIII members actually know why we are collecting hearts and those that believe it's because we must feed Kingdom Hearts in order to regain our own hearts are only being misled – yet there is one person in the whole group that does know. And that is VII: Saïx – the Lunar Diviner.
The blue haired man has been my wingman for as long as I have been a Nobody and he has been onto my plans for years, yet he too sees the beauty that is the Darkness from which our hearts were spawned when we were born and he too desires to see what the Worlds will look like once we have reigned a Second Keyblade War.
Ah yes, the Mighty Keyblade War, the very same that destroyed the X-Blade into 13 pieces of Darkness and 7 of Light a millennia ago. These numbers were the first evidence for me that Darkness should always conquer Light. After all, if Darkness is stronger in numbers, why should it not deserve to be stronger in life as well?
And yet, there are those that see things different. That see Darkness as a threat and something they should attempt to destroy – attempt to be the keyword here. Oh, I felt it when that brown-haired Keyblade wielder destroyed my Heartless, but I know that – even if I get destroyed – it will only be for the best of my plans.
After all, if one were to have as strong a Nobody and Heartless as I, then it only stands to reason that, were I and my Heartless to be destroyed, specifically by the Light of the Keyblade, my body will regenerate and everything my other two forms have learned over the last decade or so will be absorbed by my new self.
And yet, none of those Light-Minded fools are even aware of this, the Keyblade Master himself not even aware of our very existence, let alone what we are. This makes me smirk and I have no doubt that, if I were to encounter the lad, he would just think me a Heartless like Ansem, Seeker of Darkness – and he would be so wrong.
And the best of it all, where Ansem worked to control a weaker form, a young teenager that just wanted the same thing when I first started exploring the Universe, I sought to make myself stronger and so fight all kinds of Nobodies on a daily basis. So even if the young brunette were to ever face me, he would be an easy defeat.
Then, as if sensing my thoughts, does my most loyal appear behind me, his sharp yellow eyes looking at me as he says: "The boy is still unfindable, but we know for sure Naminé is still working on his memories." This makes me smirk as the little betrayal mission set out by several Org. members also worked in my favor.
Where Larxene, Marluxia, Vexen, Zexion and Lexaeus were planning to wipe Sora's memory and make him their puppet, they actually signed their own death contracts. Yet when all was said and done, Sora's memory was scattered all over the place in his own mind and since then has he been going through a healing process.
Yet, while Light-sided idiot named DiZ has been trying to put the boy's memory back together, was Vexen able to accomplish one goal before his passing that made this impossible; he created a puppet that has the ability to completely absorb other people's memories and then change their looks to resemble someone.
And to my and Saïx's good fortune, did our fine little puppet actually absorb Sora's memories of one of his very closest friends, meaning almost 40% if not more of Sora's memories – are now within our grasp. And pretty little Xion has no idea of any of it, meaning she will remain our little puppet to play with just a little longer.
"We might want to consider terminating the friendship between those three." Saïx then says, but I shake my head at this. Yes, I understand the man's worries over Xion taking in Axel's determination and Roxas' curiosity, but we are currently so far into our plans that, even if Xion finds out, her ideas will only compliment ours.
"Let her find out if she desires. As long as she remains with Roxas, she will continue serving her purpose. She absorbs his memories of Sora before he can reach them and gives him a reason to work hard for our cause. Setting them together when Axel left for Castle Oblivion is a step that still bares us many great benefits."
"So I take it you have a plan for any and all outcomes. Whether we find Naminé and Sora or not. Whether Sora reawakens or remains in his eternal slumber. Whether Xion discovers what she really is or doesn't. Whether Roxas stops giving out his memories and powers to the puppet he considers a close friend. You have all possibilities covered?"
Saïx asks and all I do in return is nod, before we both gaze up. Up at what Roxas and Xion have been granting us. Up at the very final aspect of our plans. Up at the fruition of everything we have worked to accomplish since we gave our hearts to the Darkness and became empty husks with minds greater than emotions.
Up at Kingdom Hearts.
Our version of it, at least.
And that concludes chapter one.
Next chapter will be a bit more light-hearted as it will concern the one member of Organization XIII that is so easy and laid-back – you just don't know whether to take him seriously or not. But trust me, if you played KH 2 and you reached the point of the Heartless invading Hollow Bastion – then you know of whom I speak.
See yah,
