Here's Chapter 2! Yes, it's a pretty short chapter...but once I get past Chapter 4, they should get much longer! Anyway, enjoy the story! A little more about Rianxan is revealed this time.
And I want to thank my first reviewer, The White Raven013, for taking to time to, well, review. Thank you. :)
I don't own Kingdom Hearts or the Organization...just Rianxan. :P

Chapter 2:
Murmurs and gasps filled the room as the Organization members realized what their Superior had just said. They began to whisper and exchange looks of surprise and confusion. Some where even bold enough to show some outrage at the announcement.
And all the while, Rianxan stood as still as she could, keeping her gaze locked on the table corner nearest her. But curiosity overcame her, and she finally raised her head and looked at the Organization.
"What's going on? Is this a joke?"
"We already have thirteen members. Do we really—"
"Just look at her, puny little thing—"
"—she doesn't even look like Organization material."
"I can't believe Superior would—"
"Silence, all of you," Xemnas ordered, his voice carrying across the room.
The whispers stopped, and all eyes found their way to the head of the table again.
"Rianxan has joined our ranks as this Organization's fourteenth member. If you have a problem with my decision, do not bother complaining. My mind is made up, and this meeting is finished," Xemnas concluded, looking over each of the members in turn.
He then turned to leave, looking over his shoulder as he neared the doors.
"No one is allowed to kill her, and if I find her dead or mortally wounded, I will personally take care of the one responsible. And on that note, I will repeat: no one is allowed to kill any fellow members in this Organization."
With that, he left the room, counting on Saix to handle the rest.

The Luna Diviner sighed inwardly as he watched Superior leave the room. Personally, he thought Xemnas should have stayed to handle the other members. But, of course, he had left the rest of the work to Saix.
As Saix stood from his chair, the room was suddenly filled with an outburst of yelling and conversation, as the other members stood and began to argue about what had just happened.
He sighed again, outwardly this time, and quickly realized that Vexen and Xaldin were headed for the doors. The room was still filled loud discussion, and Saix was getting tired of all the noise.
He liked silence. Silence was good.
Too impatient to take the time and tell everyone to sit and be quiet, the berserker summoned his claymore and slammed it into the white marble table.
The room immediately went silent, and everyone turned to stare and Saix.
The look in his eyes was enough to make anyone realize he was close to entering his berserker state, and that was something best avoided. Everyone quickly returned their seats and waited.

Axel turned his attention away from Roxas and Demyx (with whom he'd been discussing the current situation), and looked to the girl—or rather, young woman—that Xemnas had announced as Number XIV.
She was a small thing, barely 5 foot, 4 inches. She was pale, and her hair a dark, rich brown. It touched the tops of her shoulders, falling in gentle waves. Her hair fell forward, framing her face and her green-gold eyes.
He had seen eyes like hers only once before, during a mission he'd been sent on by Xemnas. He had been walking down a dark alleyway, and had crossed paths with a rather scrawny tabby cat. The cat had watched him, unafraid, with eyes of a similar shade to the girl's.
Her eyes showed uncertainty, sadness and…a little innocence? How could any Nobody who joined the Organization be innocent?
Not that he cared, of course. She was just another Nobody, like the rest of them. She was also the lowest ranking member, and therefore, unimportant.
But still, her catlike eyes intrigued him.
Axel smiled. It seemed as though he'd just found the first way he was going to annoy Number XIV.
Behind him, Larxene called out, "Saix, Superior said the meeting was over. Unless you've forgotten, that means we can go."
Ah, dear sadistic Larxene. She was one of the few who would dare speak to Saix in such a tone, when he was so close to diving off the edge.
"That is true," Saix replied, "But we have other things to discuss."
"Such as?" Larxene prompted.
Saix stared at her for several seconds. That silence was broken by Demyx's whiny voice.
"Um, guys? What's her name again?"
Poor Demyx...I might have a few surprises for him later on. :P
Thanks for reading, guys. Reviews would be great.
Hmm...looks like I forgot to add a divider between Xemnas introducing Rianxan to the WTNW, and the scene in the Meeting Room...oh well! Chapter 3 will be up in a few days!
