Demyx woke, and looked up at his ceiling it seemed as if a black pulsation was coming from the ceiling above his bed then shot across the ceiling to the wall opposite his bed and then down to the wall that would be the exit and as it came to the door it spread out to form the symbol of the nobodies. I then faded away and the process began again. That meant only one thing, Xemnas was calling a meeting. He lifted himself out of his bed and put on his organization robe and walked out the door. Halfway down the large hallway he crossed paths with Axel,
"Looks like Mansex wants to tell us something," he chuckled," Maybe his little pet told on Larxanne and I." Demyx nodded than turned to him,
"About that did you ever get your camera back?" Axel nodded and smiled a coy smile,
"It is the most hilarious thing you will ever watch in your life and the good stuff all happens after we left." Demyx covered his mouth and began to laugh. Then as the two walked down a long white corridor and heard a low rumble of voices they lifted their hoods and walked through the archway that extends through the ceiling. The room was large circular and the ceiling seemed to go on forever. The middle of the floor sported a pale blue 'nobody' symbol and thirteen chairs were seated around it in a circle. Nine of the thirteen members were present and they all were seated accordingly. The 'senior' nobodies were all seated silently with there arms on the armrests of their chairs. A few of the nobodies were missing for more or less obvious reasons. To everyone's surprise they never exiled Axel, most likely the fact that it would be hard to find another nobody who retained their human shape. That and Demyx already had everything monogrammed, don't laugh he is very proud of this small fact. Each and every organization towel had there name number and alias all printed in there color of choice.
After a few moments of mindless chatter Xemnas raised his hand to motion for silence. The members took their seats by there numbers and silently raised themselves to the predestined heights that they always go to. As soon as the seats slowed to a stop Xemnas lowered his hood and the others followed in unison.
"Now as you all know we are Organization XIII but we have only twelve members with us in our search for kingdom hearts." All of the members heaved an inward sigh now that Xemnas had even mention the word heart he was going to go into a long monologue about where his heart was.
"Kingdom Hearts how I searched for you. Emptiness is all I feel. I have no remorse as long as you will find me my heart Where is my heart?" He raised his arms in a pleading manner that seemed to last for several minutes. When he lowered them he began to speak once more,
"You all know that there are thirteen of us but you have only come to see twelve. I would now like to introduce all of you to our thirteenth member, Roxas" He held out his arm noting the fact that there was a chair with one hooded figure sitting on it. The boy lowered his hood and sat there silently, he was definitely the youngest looking member they had. Demyx inwardly sighed he wasn't the 'baby' of the group anymore. The rest of the meeting included introductions and Xemnas going on about Kingdom Hearts for a good half an hour. While the others seemed to be sleeping Saix was paying close attention. Then as the meeting ended and the chairs lowered themselves to ground level some teleported out while others chose walking. Though the 'others' in this case where Demyx and Axel. As they walked through the halls they heard a pair of footsteps that wasn't their own. Axel turned around and saw that the new kid was walking a few feet behind them. Demyx then stopped walking and announced,
"So you're the n00b." Roxas seemed confused.
"You know the new kid on the block." Said Axel waving his arms as he stepped towards him. Roxas didn't seem to pleased.
"Do you think I'm weak?" Axel had a look of surprise on his face,
"You seem to have a bit of rage and demanding in your voice, I think we are going to be good friends." Demyx only smiled and put out his hand
"Well I'm Demyx and I'm glad to be meeting you." Roxas slowly put out his hand and was about to shake it but Demyx put his hand into an exuberant death grip and began to shake it until Roxas was sure his arm was going to fall off. After Demyx released his arm Roxas began to rub his shoulder to try and get the feeling back in it.
"I'm Axel A-X-E-L got it memorized?" He put out his own hand for a friendly shake but Roxas flinched a little due to his bad experience with Demyx two seconds ago.
"Don't worry I won't rip your arm off" Roxas than stuck out his other arm for him to shake with the slight fear we won't be able to either of his arms for the rest of the week. Instead he received a firm handshake from number eight of the organization.
The trio wandered and chatted about anything they could think of. Which was pretty much nothing that was thought as a sophisticated conversation. Demyx and Axel just spent most of the time informing the new kid about all the things in the Organization that he should ever hope to know about and a few things that he didn't. For example the fact that the pair are in the middle of a debate that Saix is Xemnas's booty call is completely irrelevant yet slightly necessary for the poor virgin ears to hear. Though when the two relised that this new kid was in fact never touched in 'that way' Axel soon became very intrigued.
"Man I'm telling you it's pretty much a good thing, my other had alllll the ladies after him, and I myself do have a few admirers."
"You mean stalkers?" Demyx butted in.
"Oi Larxenne is a little creepy, but I amuse her with petty things such as flowers because I don't want to get impaled with eighty bimillion kunai" he waved a hand to signal that that part of the conversation was over,
"Anyways still you never… you know 'did it'? Jeeze you're what fifteen. Sixteen?"
"My other was fourteen at the time of loosing his heart" Axel let out a long whistle.
"Though for a while I have been wondering between existence and nothing, it's a long complicated story."
"Well I'm sure we'll have time for that story later" Axel said as he patted Roxas on the shoulder. At this point in their little walk they were at the skyscraper and a few of the small worthless shops were open but the nobodies passed them by without a second glance.
"Still you are a virgin I guess that's okay for one of such a young age as yourself" Axel pointed out.
"Hey I'm still a virgin too ya know" Demyx announced as he pointed at himself and looking very proud of the fact that he could be 'clean' for such a long time.
"Yeah but that's just because you're creepy" Axel deduced. Demyx's proud face soon turned to that of what would be able to compete with a depressed puppy; cute yet oh so sad and adorable. The mindless chatter continued as they walked the wet and heartless infested streets. Even though the heartless mostly consisted of shadows and the occasional neo-shadow they all knew that there was no heart no be devoured in those bodies, even if a few got confused and would lash out from the dark alley, a simple kick was enough to let them know that there efforts would not be fruitful. They found their way to the park that had everything you would expect a park in the middle of a city to contain, fenced in trees, grass, a paved path, and a large fountain right in the middle. VIII IX and XIII sat on the edge of the fountain respectively and listened to the sound of the water falling. Roxas looked out into the darkness and felt a little uneasy by all the yellow twitching eyes staring back at him.
'Sora?'
Roxas blinked. He knew that name, it was his name before it all happened. Just at that moment a shadow leapt out at him with it's claws flailing about. Roxas held out his arm to protect himself and there was a bright light and he suddenly felt warm all over, yet it felt like something cool was washing over him. Then all that power focused itself down through his right arm and out through his fingertips. As this power was leaving him rather quickly a light shone in his palm, he opened it and in a flash of light a giant key appeared in his hand. Remembering he was still being attacked he took a fighting stance and slashed the shadow clear in two. The two halves of the heartless faded away into nothing in a black cloud. Axel let out a low impressed whistle as Demyx just starred on at him awestruck.
"Well it seems I underestimated you Roxas" Axel announced as he stood up from his seat on the fountain edge. Demyx still had no change in his facial expression.
"I see. Now I know. Your alias shall be 'The Key of Destiny'", they all looked around to see where the voice came from and were not surprised to see Xemnas walk out of the shadows. He gave a curt nod and walked into a portal were he disappeared.
"Well now you are officially one of us" Roxas looked confused,
"You all have these crazy 'code names'?" Roxas used air quotes to accentuate his point. Axel actually let out a snort at this comment, and Demyx looked at him as if he had never seen him before, Axel hardly laughed ever. Sure he smiled and such but he never really laughed.
"Yes we all have our aliases to identify who we are, not only as a nobody but it also represent the powers that we control. You honestly didn't figure that out by now?" Axel teased. Then Roxas though about it. Yes Demyx was the melodious nocturne and Axel was the flurry of dancing flames, and their elements were water and fire respectively. So I guess it was pretty stupid that he didn't figure it out until that moment in time. He dismissed his thoutlessness and resumed his seat on the edge of the fountain. It was silent and peacefull though almost to erily silent. Roxas turned and saw that the fountain had ceased it's flow. Axel turned to look as well,
"It seems they turned it off for the night, not much worth spending the money to run it if no one real is watching it" he said calmly, "I suppose we should call it a night then" The trio stood to leave and opened their own portals and the night continued once more with the heartless ever looming in the shadows.
I'm dreadfully sorry that all of this is taking me so long to write and do. Though I would love it if you would leave a comment or two or something of that nature
I hope you have a great day :D
