(A/N: Oh gosh, thanks so much for the feedback! I'm really happy that so many people like the idea of LeaMine. Hopefully, this will tempt more people to write more lovely LeaMine. ^^ I think there'll be more since Birth By Sleep was released yesterday in Japan. Only a matter of time… Tee-hee. Anyway, I know it's a bit quick to be posting updates, but I just had to. As 'thanks', you know. To all my lovely readers. Much loves for you.)

Title: Glitch

Chapter 1: Inconsistency Report

The white room in the long-abandoned mansion seemed stagnant, the air thick and heavy and the usually calming twilight Sun glared into her eyes. Lips pursed into a small frown, her baby blue eyes remained fixated upon the crayon she held in her right hand. She seemed distracted as she absentmindedly twirled it in her hand and tapped it upon the blank piece of paper. Naminé knew it was wrong, but she just didn't want to 'work' today. She just didn't feel like picking apart Roxas's mind and toying with his memories like a child with a crayon set. That's what she was, after all. Frustrated, she tossed the crayon across the long table with a small grunt and buried her face into her folded arms. The sound of her own angry breathing filled her ears and she forced herself to calm down, eyes stinging but no tears fell. She was an abomination. A half-empty human but a half-complete Nobody. Emotions came in random outbursts but died away a moment later. She knew she was immature, running away into the virtual Twilight Town whenever she was troubled but returning after a day or two to pick up where she left off.

Riku occasionally pointed out that it was just some kind of 'Nobody puberty' but Naminé didn't really understand.

Speaking of the boy, he had appeared right behind her. The loud whoosh and icy cold aura of darkness filled her senses and the girl could picture the exasperated look he hid under the hood when he saw her. "Naminé," was the soft murmur, as if he was afraid that she was sleeping. She ignored him. Usually, when DiZ sent Riku to her, it was because of him needing a status update. He could use his stupid computer today, for all she cared. DiZ always seemed to bring out the worst in her. "Naminé," the voice was more persistent now, and the blue-eyed girl sat up, glaring at the male behind her.

He ignored her attitude. "DiZ wants a progress re—"

"He can use the computer," she snapped.

"—report on the virtual Twilight Town," the silver-haired male finished, unfazed by her interruption. Naminé raised an eyebrow.

There was a moment of icy silence before the blonde irritably muttered, "Fine."

It was a few minutes later when Naminé and Riku entered the computer room and the girl cast the staircase behind them a glance before walking to the man, seated before the many flickering screens. "Naminé," his lazy drawl filled her ears and she raised her head, hands childishly playing with the sides of her dress. "Have there been any inconsistencies in the virtual Twilight Town lately?"

This was nothing new to her. Even though DiZ wouldn't admit it, the latest version of Twilight Town still had its glitches. Data of people from other worlds appearing, sea salt ice-cream tasting like hotdogs and fishes flying in the sky being one of the many resolved cases. It only took a click of the button to fix it but locating the problems needed a person who has experienced its changes. Which was probably why DiZ never punished her for running off into the Twilight Town…

"The clock tower's broken," she recounted.

"I think that has a matter to do with the data-people in Twilight Town rather than me," DiZ pointed out.

"The clock tower's broken," Naminé repeated. "Occasionally, it would spew out multi-coloured smoke and glow. But most of the time, it'll just suddenly go, 'Whooooo' for a few minutes before stopping."

There was a pause and a few clicks of the keyboard. "Continue."

"The cats have disappeared." More clicking. "The water from the fountain turned pink." Click. Click. Click. "I saw a Moogle flying around the other day." Clickity-clickity-click. "That's all."

"Are you sure, Naminé?" the man drawled once more, as if probing her for more information. She couldn't blame him. After all, the Roxas in Twilight Town would begin to question his sanity if he saw fountain water suddenly start phasing from pink to its normal colour. "Are there any more inconsistencies?"

DiZ seemed pretty insecure today… Has the Organisation attacked them with another virus?

"Lea. Got it memorised?"

The sudden memory caught Naminé off-guard. Of course, there was that glitch with Axel's human form…

But…

She couldn't do it.

"No, there are no more as far as I know," the girl shrugged her shoulders.

There was silence.

"You are dismissed," DiZ muttered with a lazy wave of his hand.
