Author's Note: Haha, this has taken forever to put up... I'm so lazy. Anywho, I can't write Xigbar. Or Xaldin. I'm giving it a shot anyways. Hope you enjoy.

Drixana
They emerged in a rather office-like room. Xemnas walked around to the other side of a desk and sat down. He indicated that Drixana should do the same. She did. "I have already told you that I am the leader of Organization XIII. The Organization is a group of Nobodies searching for Kingdom Hearts."
Drixana was confused. Clearly it showed. Xemnas continued, "In the heart of every human, there is darkness. When that darkness consumes the heart, a creature called a heartless is born. Sometimes, however, when a particularly strong-hearted person succumbs to the darkness, the empty shell they left behind becomes a Nobody. That, Drixana, is what you are. We all are. We search for Kingdom Hearts so that we might be whole again."
This made a little sense, but she was still not grasping everything. "What does that mean for me?"
"You no longer have a heart. No-" He shook his head, for Drixana had began feeling for a pulse in her wrist. "You still have the heart that circulates blood through your body, but you can no longer feel emotions. There are arguments and exceptions but for your purposes at this moment, know that you are totally numb."
This was a hard thing to comprehend. Subconsciously, Drixana stored this information in the back of her mind to cope with later when it was understandable. "Why would the Organization want me?"
"As I said, we seek Kingdom Hearts. For now, you will train to gain physical and magical prowess. I shall assign you a mentor later. I will send you to your room where you will find all you need at the moment. You will find your official Organization gear there. Change into it. You can adjust your quarters to your liking in the next few days. Within a half hour, one of the Organization will meet you to show you around."
Drixana nodded and stood. Xemnas held out a hand and another swirling portal of darkness appeared. She stepped through it. The room she emerged in was quite simple. It wasn't very large but definitely not too small. Drixana stood for a few minutes and simply took it in. A desk with a lamp sat next to the full-size bed. On the bed was a set of clothes. Drixana changed into them. It was an interesting feel. She liked it. She plopped down on to the foot of the bed and waited.
Roxas rapped on the door at the end of the hallway with 'XIV' printed on the top. He was curious as to what this newest member of the Organization was like. Xemnas hadn't told him. All the Key of Destiny knew was that there was a new member and the task had fallen on his shoulders to show the person where everything was.
The door opened and Drixana stepped out. She gave a small nod of greeting which Roxas returned. He was a little surprised that XIV was only barely older than him. Also that she was a she.
"I'm Roxas, Number XIII. I'll just be showing you around today. You'll get your mentor later and they'll take you through some of the finer points. Other things you'll have to learn on your own."
"I'm Drixana. So, where do we begin?"
He considered for a moment. "Well, right now we're in the hallway with everyone's rooms. Except Xemnas, of course. You'll get to know everyone eventually. I guess I'll show you the training grounds next."
Roxas held out a gloved hand and another swirling portal of darkness appeared in front of him. Both walked through. The first thing that struck Drixana about the grounds was how very different the sky was here. It was swirling with countless shades of dark blues and purples with black being the predominant color. She liked it. She then redirected her attention to the place they were standing. Targets were set up across from where they stood. There was evidence of battles everywhere. Apparently, the place was well-used.
The tour continued for a while. Roxas told Drixana about general life at Castle Oblivion. In the early evening, Roxas summoned a portal that led to the kitchen. There was a long table with benches on either side of it and a tall man with dreadlocks was setting dishes on the table. Nine others were sitting around the table. Roxas introduced them as Xigbar, Vexen, Lexaeus, Zexion, Saïx, Luxord, Marluxia, and Larxene. Xaldin was the one who had brought out the food and Xemnas, of course, was also there.
"There's also Axel and Demyx, but they're our on missions," Roxas explained.
Drixana nodded as she sat down. Everyone glanced at her but no one said anything. After Xaldin was seated, everyone began eating silently. Drixana glanced around, feeling a hint of awkwardness. She continued spearing roasted vegetables onto a fork and
After about five minutes of complete silence had passed, Xigbar broke the silence. "Damn it's quiet with the arsonist and his hyrdomanic companion missing."
Larxene sneered. "You say that like it's a bad thing."
The Free Shooter shrugged, "Just a little boring, ya know little lady?"
Everybody else on Larxene's bench stumbled a bit as she pushed it back and jumped up, eyes glinting with savage anger. "What did you call me?"
"Would you have preferred to be a little man?"
The Savage Nymph had summoned her weapons. "I'll show you little-"
"Shut up!" roared Xaldin.
Larxene shot another venomous glance at Xigbar before returning to her meal and resuming eating as though absolutely nothing had happened. Drixana could hardly believe how maliciously Larxene had reacted. Especially for someone who couldn't feel. Casting another confused glance around the table, XIV continued eating.
