Despite his fanbase, I don't really care for Xaldin. Dx His battle was just hard and he was just SCARY.
Muahaha. I got fanfiction dot net to work.

------------------------
She is a nice break from Larxene, that's for sure. Not that I enjoy ogling women obsessively, but having another female in the castle is good.
Those were my thoughts exactly when Larxene came into the picture, but she turned out to make even some of our tougher members cower at the sight of her. Larxene's fierceness is very good for the progression of our Organization, however, and she is valuable indeed.
And then another girl came into the picture. Xemnas refused to regard her as a normal member, seeing as she was not a true Nobody, but she calls herself one of us. Why?
To be honest, even I don't know. She's silly at times, sometimes acting even stupider than Demyx, but I suppose that's because of her young age. I'm sure that she should wisen up soon; already she can be incredibly sober when nessecary.
Today, however, she was in one of her silly moods.
"Xaldin!"
I turned to see her hobbling into the kitchen, dishtowel over her head and...was that lipstick on her cheeks? Sometimes acting her age wasn't one of her strong points, and this was one of those times. Even though her upbeat attitude can help lighten the melancholy atmosphere of The Castle That Never Was, I must admit it's annoying.
She finally approached me, back bent over, and looked up so that we were eye-to-eye.
"I'm going to saaaaaaaaaaaay the sooth!"
Except...it didn't sound like "sooth". Because of her strange, squeaky voice that she adorned when wanting attention, it came out sounding more like "soof".
Her eyes darted behind me, and nodded as if she was seeing something relevant. I raised my eyebrow.
"AHA! I see it!" she screamed suddenly, catching me off-guard. I stumbled.
"Goodness, girl!" I mumbled under my breath.
"You will have..." She looked behind me again, then held up five fingers. "Five children! And uh..." She looked behind me again. "You will also have a crossdressin' Xemnas as a wife and a huge swimming pool of green Jello!"
I sighed. This was incredibly stupid...and a waste of my time. It was a shame that there was no job for people who had a knack for making time fly with unnessecary comments and rants; if that were so, little Dxamana wouldn't be with us now. (Let me say here that she is not entirely useless: she can at least fight, albeit rather clumsily, and she can identify emotion better than any of us here can.)
"Number Zero, I believe you are only spouting nonsense."
She flicked the dishtowel at me; it didn't hurt at all, not even a little. "Aw, come now, young child!"
"'Child'? The only child here is you, Dxamana."
She frowned, stuffing the dishtowel in my hands huffily. "I see I'm wasting time with Emo McFatass here. I'm leaving. C'mon, Axel."
Said man walked out from behind me, stopping only to smirk at me before following her out of the kitchen, clutching a bag of chips and two sodas triumphantly. So there's where she was getting all of her stupid sayings from. I don't allow people to get snacks out of the kitchen while I'm in the middle of my shift of cooking duty a) Because it's distracting, and b) I feel it's better when everyone is hungry enough to eat what I have spent an hour or two preparing a meal, rather than shoving it off with a "I'm not hungry".
Or was that because my cooking wasn't good? In any case, she, along with a few exceptions, is one of the most avid snackers here, so she is often the one I'm kicking out and the one that she always tries to find some stupid way of getting revenge on.
I was hurled out of my thoughts suddenly, not because of the realization that she and Axel had gotten away by stealing junk food, but by the realization that...
I called after them, "Hey! I'm not fat!"
Someone just might find themselves hung up by their socks tomorrow morning.
