The three walked back toward the castle. Ienzo carried the girl since the other two had boxes to carry. She had been wrapped in a gray blanket.

They arrived at the castle and Ansem opened the door with his free hand. They entered the empty hallway. It was quiet and peaceful until… BOOM!

Ansem sighed. "Even must be at it again."

Even peered around a corner and spoke, "Xehanort, it's done." His lab coat had black soot on it.

Xehanort nodded then turned to Ansem. "Pardon me." He turned to Even and followed. He and Even disappeared.

Ansem turned to Ienzo. "Sometimes, I wonder what's going through their minds. Let's go to the living room." They continued walking.

The living room had a few red couches and a wooden table in the center. Ansem spoke, "You can lay her on the couch there, Ienzo."

Ienzo nodded and walked to a couch and laid the child on a cushion. She grabbed onto his sleeve but hesitantly let go after Ienzo tugged softly a few times.

A voice sounded, "When's our shift supposed to end?"

"Around nine." Three men in guard suits entered.

"Greetings, my apprentices," welcomed Ansem, "Meet the newest member to our family." He gestured toward the baby. Ienzo stood next to Ansem.

The guards; Braig, Dilan, and Aeleus; saw the small child.

"Heh, another runt in the family." Braig smirked.

"We have to go to our posts." said Dilan. The three then left.

Ansem looked at Ienzo then the small girl and spoke, "She obviously needs a name. What do you suggest, Ienzo?"

Ienzo stood silent for a few seconds, then spoke, "Sira."


Third chapter! Or it would be the second chapter, not including the poem. Well, I only own Sira and these words. Square Enix owns the rest.
