Two

Never-ending Empyness

Xaje woke to two people talking, "No seriously! My shadow came off the ground and grabbed the pan!" The first voice said. "Right, Axel did you fall down the stairs?" the other said. 'huh? Axel? Shadow moving? I remember him' Xaje thought opening her eyes. She sat up and looked around to see Axel and another guy with blond hair and green eyes, they were both standing over by the building debating whether shadows can come to life or not. Xaje got up and walked towards them, as they continued to argue.

Axel was facing her as she walked up and he wondered who she was. Xaje tapped the blonde teen, "Excuse me but actually its possible" she said. The guy jumped and whirled around, all wide eyed. "You see if heartless can materialize out of the ground, why not shadows?" she continued. "well yeah I guess" he muttered looking down.

Axel stepped forward "Mind me asking who you are?" He asked looking over her. "Of course, the name is Xaje, new member of org. 13, and controller of shadows" she said proudly. "Ah! So you're the one who made my shadow move!" Axel yelled. "Yeah so sorry if I freaked ya out or offended you, just reacted when I saw the pan flying at you" she said. Axel seemed to think for a moment then said "That's fine, next time let me handle it though"

Xaje nodded excitedly and said "Oh um, I'm sorry I forgot to ask your name", as she looked at the blonde. The teen looked up happily and replied "I'm Demyx, the Melodious Nocturne, I control water" he beamed.

Axel nodded and said "And I'm Axel, the flurry of dancing flames, I control fire" "Oh man you both have such cool nicknames! Does everyone have one?" Xaje asked putting her head to one side. "Yeah we all do, tell us who've you have met and we can tell you their nicknames" Demyx replied with a grin.

"Ok, Marluxia"

"he controls earth, The graceful assassin"

"um, Zexion"

"He really doesn't have a power, the cloaked schemer"

"Ok. Laxeus"

"He also controls earth, but rocks. The silent hero"

"ooo, Luxord"

"He controls time and cards, the gambler of fate"

"Oh that's awesome. I don't have one yet.." Xaje said with a sigh. "Oh what about Xemnas?" she asked with curiosity. "Ha! That's easy!" Axel said laughing, "The Superior" "Oh I guess he's the leader then" Xaje said with a bit of disappointment. "So that means you haven't met Five of the organization members" Demyx commented aloud.

Xaje pondered to herself on how she could acquire a good nickname into the organization. 'Hmm, maybe I could practice this newfound power and then show them off while someone who is the higher ups is around like on a mission or something,Yeah! That's what I'll do!' Xaje thought excitedly. "Hey, would you guys happen to know how to teach me to use my powers? Or do they just come naturally?" she asked thoughtfully. Demyx grinned and Axel shrugged. "Well it all depends on the person, did you learn quickly in your past life? And if not then yeah Demyx does, cuz he had to learn" Axel said stuffing his hands in his pockets.

Xaje thought for a moment then said "well I don't know…..I cant remember.." she said with a look of shock on her face. "Ah, that's fine, you're supposed to forget, we all are" Axel said seeing her face. Xaje sighed with disappointment and suddenly a flash of memory came to mind, it was her, as a child, her white hair over her face and a few kids asked her if she wanted to practice for the -- tournament coming up. She happily accepted and they taught her how to fight, she had soon kicked the boy's butt. She walked over to help him up "I'm Jade" she smiled, "Hi I'm-"

"Hey!! Xaje! Heloo?" a voice called. "Huh? Oh sorry" Xaje said realizing she drifted off in her memory, the voice was Demyx, trying to get her attention. "Yeah, I'm a quick learner, especially with fighting moves" Xaje said looking to Axel. "Good then we wont have to teach you" he replied.

Xaje looked at him quizzically, "What's that supposed to mean? you don't like me?" she asked suspiciously. Axel grinned and walked off, Demyx watched him walk off and then shrugged. "So can you tell me who I haven't met and what rank they are? You know by number? If you don't mind" Xaje said looking to Demyx. "Sure, I'm going to tell you everyone in order and you should know who you haven't met yet" he said. "Ok" she replied with a nod.

"Xemnas, number one"

"oh"

"Xigbar, the free shooter, controls guns, number two"

"hmmm sounds like someone not to mess with"

"Xaldin, the whirlwind lancer, controls wind, number three"

"Sounds like a silent type"

"Vexen, the chilly academic, controls ice, number four"

"hm, id say a scientist"

"Laxeus, number five"

"yup"

"Zexion, number six"

"Oh joy"

"Saix, the luna diviner, number seven"

"oh great, sounds like he dedicated to this group"

"Axel, number eight"

"Oh cool I can see me being friends with him"

"Me, number nine"

"that's a good number have"

" Luxord, number ten"

"He was cool, very nice"

Laxrine, the savage nymph, controls lightning, number eleven"

"oh! A woman! Finally"

"Marluxia, number twelve"

"he sounded gay" Xaje commented.

Demyx laughed, "and then there's you, Xaje, number thirteen" he said finishing. "hmm ok then now I just have to meet them so I know who's who.." Xaje commented to herself. "Well I better get going" Demyx said starting to walk away. " wait do you guys get rooms? Cuz I don't know if I have one" She asked a bit embarrassed. Demyx stopped and turned with a look of astonishment.

"He didn't tell you where your room was?" he asked amazed Xemnas could have forgotten. Xaje stared at him wondering why she felt uneasy, it had been bothering her since she met him. "Oh, well no.. he didn't tell me if we even slept.." She replied uneasy still. Demyx came back over "I know where the free room is I can show you" he said with a smile.

"Oh thanks, you could have just told me" Xaje said figuring she probably knew him from her other life or something. Demyx shook his head "No, come on this way" he said walking toward the building. Xaje followed in suit so she could remember the way to the room from many different routes. Demyx walked into the building and through some empty halls. He came to the main room where I was before, the living room.

He walked through the living room and to some stairs. "Obviously this place is big, you can tell from the outside" He said heading up the stairs. "Oh, yeah, I bet" Xaje said trying to keep up with his pace, she had just realized he was at least 3, 4 inches taller than her and she was 5'6". Demyx got to the top of the stairs and waited for Xaje to catch up, "Tired yet?" he teased. "No, not even a bit" she panted as she got to the top.

Demyx walked past a pinkish colored door, then a pale blue, yellow, brown, red, dark blue, then there was a white one. He stopped, "This one is your's because it's the only free room, and its white, so it says no one has this room" Demyx said gesturing toward the door. "What about the other one's? everyone has a certain color.." She said catching her breath. "Oh yeah, the pink is Marluxia, pale blue is Zexion, yellow is Luxord, brown is Laxeus, red is Axel, and the dark blue is mine!" Demyx said seemingly happy his room was right next to hers. Xaje sighed "Thanks…." she said though she didn't feel thankful, just empty, she wondered how Demyx could act so happy all the time? Xaje grabbed the door handle and the door turned a emerald green. \

"Oh so yours is green cool!" Demyx commented to himself.

Xaje nodded and walked in the room to see there was already furniture and her things in the room. "What the hell?!" Xaje said.

"Yeah that happens to all of us, we all get stuff, it kinda just pops up there" Demyx said with a shrug. Xaje looked around, there was a cherry wood dresser with a vanity mirror, and a bed with emerald silk sheets and light green pillows, then a small desk with a bunch of blank paper and a computer on the desk, there were C-Ds on top of the dresser. Some of her favorite bands were there like Linkin Park, Fall Out Boy, Three days grace, Avenged Sevenfold, Disturbed, Evanescence, Puddle of Mudd, Within temptation, Flyleaf, and Trapt. Xaje looked around with awe, "Whoa… that's awesome" She said. Demyx laughed then walked off, and Xaje continued to look around the room.

There was a cherry book shelf with her favorite books! Deltora Quest, the house of night series, ttyl series, Twighlight, Yu Yu hakusho mangas, Tsubasa chronicles mangas, Bleach mangas, Naruto mangas, and a bunch more. Xaje sat on the bed "Geeze it's like this came out of my brain! Its like someone came right into my brain…" Xaje said to herself. "Yup right into our brains" a voice next to her said, Xaje jumped, it was Axel. "How the fuck did you get in here?! I didn't hear you come in!" Xaje said a bit surprised, she had found out that the shoes they wore made noise when they walked down the hall.

"Oh right no one told you" Axel said with a grin.
