Anyway, hey guys! Got around to updating this! My current goal is to at least update this once a month, maybe more whenever I see fit/or have the time. Plus, I still have a few other fics that I need to update.

But I actually think this part came out slightly better than the prologue... From my perspective, anyway. This is also probably my first time writing with Chris, so hopefully I got his character at least somewhat down... Of course, I don't write with Mike a whole lot either, so I hope I'm at least doing a decent enough job with him, too.

Anyway, hope you guys enjoy it and please be sure to R & R!

"The many experiences that are about to take place all started when the two of us first met on the seventh day of my journey."

Day 7: Number XIV

Everything was still… And I felt so cold. My body felt practically lifeless as I let my mind wonder in space, wondering if I'd even ever wake up; I've been in these deep sleeps for the past couple of days now, and I have no idea why… All I know is that I'm completely exhausted. It's weird, though: even after a few hours of rest, I still feel pretty tired. So tired, that I can't even speak… It's kind of embarrassing, actually. Coming off as some lifeless zombie that no one can even understand… I have no clue over what's going on, or what's been happening to me, but I guess I'll be finding out all those answers shortly.

My eyelids finally flickered open, as I stared up at the dull, empty ceiling; I had been confined in a small room of some kind, the walls, floor, and ceiling all decked out in the color white. I paced myself slowly once I sat up on the bed, getting a much better idea of my surroundings. Once I finally finished looking around, I slid off the bed and headed outside of the room to explore.

I had entered some sort of lobby-like area, that's how I'd describe it, anyway: the walls and floor were also white, with a few gray areas in between. There were a few cream colored sofas scattered across the room, with a few black coated strangers filling in the seats. They seem… Familiar… Have I met some of them before? Well, I probably shouldn't dwell on it… For all I know, I could be imagining things out of exhaustion.

I decided to just ignore them for now by staring outside of the window screen, but wasn't expecting the mysterious hand that was now resting on my shoulder.

I turned around, and the stranger just smiled at me. "Morning, Xikem. Get enough sleep?"

Wait… He's no stranger… I've met him before, haven't I? Wasn't he the one that… Found me wondering all over Twilight Town that one time? My mind's a little fuzzy, but I'm certain I didn't imagine it: his presence seems familiar to me, too. But… What was his name? Have I really been asleep for that long that I've just plain forgot? Well, it can't be helped. All I know is, he does seem familiar to me.

I continue to stare at him blankly, while he just lets out a small sigh. "Let me guess: still not much of a talker? Well, it's just you know, whatever. I can deal. Just don't rely on me for everything, alright? I ain't here to babysit ya."

That's when I saw his eyes widen and look at me again. "Which reminds me… The boss has got some sort of meeting planned out for all of us today, and it seems pretty important, too. Ya don't want to be late for it, either… Especially if you wanna keep your skin intact."

I watched the redhead walk away from me, leaving me baffled and confused over which way to go. Once he saw that I was still behind him, he just rolled his eyes and yanked onto my hand.

"The Round Room is this way…" he groaned. "Just, hurry it up before someone sees."

I eventually arrived in this "Round Room" place with Oxctst, and quickly took note of my surroundings: there were thirteen chairs here, covered in white, tightly woven in a huge circle. So, this is where meetings are held? Seems like a nice place… But I wonder what the meeting's about? Well, I'll never know by just standing around here, so maybe I should go and sit down with the others…

Oxctst directed me to my seat, scowling, before heading back to sit in his. I still wasn't exactly sure of what my main goals were, or why I was even here… But all I know is, I was brought to this place for a reason. And that's a good enough place to start, as any…

I anxiously waited for answers while some of the others just looked at me funny… Was I really that strange to them? How was I any more different from the rest of them? The more I thought about it, the more my head began to hurt…

Finally, I heard the sound of footsteps coming through the door, as the other members looked on ahead: a hooded figure made its way in our direction, before taking his seat with the rest of us. He examined all of us thoroughly, before finally letting down his hood, revealing his face.

"Greetings, my fellow black coated compadres!" he laughed. "My sympathies to you all from the heart, if I had one."

"About time you showed up…" one of the members grunted. "What's the story, old man? Why'd you call us all here?"

"This had better be important!" another one snapped. "I did not come all this way and cancel my daily spa session just so you could go ahead and ruin my day with one of your stupid meetings! My cuticles are not happy!"

"Your cuticles have feelings? Since when?" a Nobody smirked. "None of us can feel anything…"

"Let's hear you say that after I claw your eyes out!" she growled back.

"Ooh, clever." he mocked right back.

"Alright now, SHUT IT! That's enough!" the superior fumed. Once he had silenced everyone, he turned to number VII. "Xntret, we missing anyone?"

"It doesn't seem like it, superior, sir." he confirmed.

"Ok, good." he nodded, crossing his arms. "Since a lot of you really don't want to be here, let's just get all of this stuff out of the way. Ahem, as your great leader Xirsch, Organization number I, it is with my great pride and honer that I announce our newest member…"

I looked up and saw another cloaked figure walk into the room, hiding her face from view… As she looked up at me. Strange, I'm feeling something very, odd… But why? I don't know her and I've never even met her… So, what's the deal?

"Let me introduce you all to number XIV, a chosen wielder of the Keyblade." he finished. "Her role here is sure to help further us all in reaching our goals, so be sure to make her feel welcomed among us…" Xirsch then laughed again. "Ha! I was only kidding on the welcoming part! Anyway, she's on her own! As for the rest of you, SCRAM! Adios! Meeting's dismissed! I need some ME time for myself now, so yeah. All of you weirdos need to get lost!"

I followed all of the others outside of the Round Room and went straight to my own room, since there wasn't much else I could do at the moment.

"Well, that was certainly… An interesting experience. So, I thought our boss was a little weird… So what? All that matters is he's given each of us a specific role to play, but… What is my role?"
