AN: A sad fic about Xaldin and an OC I made randomly. No pairing. Father/Daughter relationship type thing...


I can recall the first time I met the child.
She was so tiny. Her black hair was cut unruly short for a girl, but she didn't seem to mind. Her eyes were the brightest brown I've ever seen.

Then again, I don't remember much of my past memories...being a nobody had it's downsides.

"Hey mister! How come you keep visiting me all the time?"

That was a good question. Why was I? After all, I killed this girl's parents. Took their hearts, burned their house down and left. However when I went back on a mission with Xigbar and found the girl, amiss the rubble...I don't know what came over me.
Was it gulit? It couldn't of been. Nobodies don't feel. Even if we did, why would I care what happened to this poor soul?

Maybe what made me curious was that this child, no more than maybe 6 or 7, had lost her parents, her home and she still managed to smile. Her heart was untainted with any darkness.
Was she a princess of the heart? No, if she was, he would know or at least Xemnas would.

"Hey mister! What's your name? You never tell me and I betta tired of me saying 'mister' all the time, right?"

How could you say no to that face? She was so...pure. So beautiful like an angel. I think...I smiled at her. How could I smile?! I'm a nobody! Why is this child effecting me so?

"You know, my mama and papa died in a fire."
"I know."
"Dida know'em?"
"...yeah."

What do I say? I killed your parents because I'm a nobody and I want a heart again so...yeah, wanna hang out again tomorrow? More importantly, why do I even bother coming here? When people see me, they all run. Why wasn't she running?

"Where are your guardians?"
"Ah, Gramps is at home with Grandma. They're not really mine grandparents though, but I like them anyways! Hey are those guys you friends?"

I turned to see Lexaeus and Xigbar staring at me. Telling me with their eyes that it was time to go. I sighed and told the angel I had to go.

"Why? You only just got here! Stay with me a little while later, Xaldy."

Now why did she say my name like that? It was...too cute.

"I have too. Er...I've got adult stuff to do."
"Can I come?"
"No. You can't."

I hated leaving that girl like that. It torn at my being. If I had heart, it'd have broke right then and there.

"Why can't you stay with me?"
"I'm not one of you."
"Whatya mean? You mean you're like an alien or something?"

He smiled. She was so naive.

"Yeah. I have to go back to my alien like duties...and never come back."

She started crying. Then...it happened all so fast. I don't even know how to begin to describe it.
My angel was in front of me crying, then...she was on the ground. Bleeding and shivering.

I looked up in horror to see Marluxia grinning.

"My first heart. How sweet it is, isn't Xaldin?"

I blurred out at that point. Xigbar said that I fucked up Marluxia pretty bad. He was in the hospital for at least two weeks healing from the wounds I gave him.

Sitting in my room, I sighed.
Nobodies couldn't have angels...after all, we're monsters.
And monsters don't deserve angels.
