Bleh! I forgot to put this in the last chapter, but oh well. Yes peeps! I am back from the graaaaave! Due to a summer trip and the computer issues after we got back, I was unable to upload any more chapters for this story. But now that everything is working again, I can continue on! But I also have school to deal with as well, so I don't exactly know when I'll be able to update the chapters. Do enjoy it as you read though!

Disclaimer: If you still think I own KH, you must be insane in the membrane! ...I don't. Square does.

As the three Nobodies sat in the dining room, Xemnas had returned with silverware, plates, cups, and napkins after canceling the search for Nobody to the others, but telling them to wait a little bit as he got the table set. Luckily for him, he had three people already at the table who were free to do anything. He pushed the breakfast supplies towards them, motioning them to do what they thought was right with the items. Then he walked back in the direction of the kitchen. The three went around the table setting everything; Roxas the plates, Dirge the cups, and Axel the silverware and napkins. The older Nobodies watched as Dirge set the cups in a pattern; first using her own hand and then putting a cup in the paws of her moogle plushie and having it set on the table. Roxas smiled to Axel who sighed and hung his head, a small smile on his lips.

Within minutes after setting the table, one by one the other members appeared and took their seats. Axel obviously noticed glares and smirks he was getting by the other members as they took their seats while Dirge received small smiles and waves which she responded back the same way.

"So Axel, how much trouble are you in?" Larxene sat down with a smirk marked on her lips. This was going to be grand.

Seeing this, Axel also let out a smirk to counter hers. Dirge had been found and they had both apologized for their mistakes. Looking at Larxene, he felt he had nothing to fear. With the same look as hers on Axel's face, Larxene felt somewhat uncomfortable about what was about to happen. He shouldn't be smirking, he should look upset or worried. Axel had just gotten in trouble, he had no right.

"Looks like Xemnas is letting me off the hook. All I had to do was apologize, and little Dirgey here accepted" the redhead ruffled her hair, Dirge giggling at the play.

"What? But you let a little kid wander around the Castle in the dark alone!" she shot up, slamming her hand down on the table, shaking it as the others watched.

"Well it seems like both Dirge and Xemnas are okay with her forgiving me. Plus she wasn't really alone. The little piece of me was helping her find her way" he winked down to Dirge who giggled some more.

"You mean the Assassins that act like they're on crack" she crossed her arms and let out a small chuckle.

Axel brushed his shoulder with his hand, as if dusting off the weak comeback she had thrown at him. She frowned.

"Must've been pretty smart to understand what she wanted" he tilted his head in a playful manner.

"Enough already" Zexion called from his seat as he flipped through the pages of his book.

Dirge tapped on Roxas' shoulder arm to get his attention. "Who's that?" she pointed to Larxene.

"Oh, they didn't really get a chance to introduce themselves earlier did they?" Roxas slapped his forehead and dragged it down his face.

"Hey, listen up" he stood up and snapped his fingers several times.

"And just why should we?" the pink haired man called from his seat, playing with a rose petal between his fingers.

"Because I'm not the guy with the girly scythe" Roxas pointed at him, making Marluxia shoot an upset look at him. Muffled laughters came from the members as all eyes turned to the second youngest member of the group.

"Dirge just got here yesterday and I don't think any of you were able to introduce yourselves properly to her. So why not do this now?" he asked as he looked at all the members around the table.

"That's an excellent idea Roxas" Saix nodded from his seat and stood up.

It was rude to not give an introduction in Saix's mind. Noticing that the other members were still seated, he let out a low irritated growl to let them know he wanted them up now. Immediately, they shot up from their seats nervously in hopes that they would irritate him further more. He smiled at his ability to "make people do what he wanted."

"Name's Xigbar. I'm second in the Organization. So if you gotta a problem, don't come to me, go to Xemnas cause there's a chance I won't want to deal with it" he sat back down and leaned back in his chair, boots propped up on the table.

"My name is Xaldin, third in command," he looked around and shrugged, "hi" he sat back down.

"Gosh! Why're you guys doing it in order? This isn't the Mickey Mouse Club!" Larxene crossed her arms and sighed with obvious irritation.

"Fine! My name's Marluxia. If you want to live, then don't make fun of my hair and my feminine side!" the Graceful Assassin said, straining on his words as he looked at Roxas.

"My name is Vexen. Please stay out of my lab AXEL!" he slammed his hand down on the table as he shot a look at Axel, who gave him a fake surprised look.

"Why're looking at me? You're supposed to be looking at her idiot" he pointed to the little girl next to him.

"Yet you're the one who's always messing with my experiments" Vexen mumbled as he sat back down and crossed his arms like an upset child who had candy taken from him.

"Lexaeus" the tall, broad man coughed out before sitting back down in silence.

"Saix. If you ever get into trouble or feel uncomfortable around any of the other members, you can come find me" he smiled to her as he made a small bow.

"Don'tdoit" Axel coughed into his fist, Saix growling at him as he sat down.

"My name's Demyx and I like pie and play the sitar!" the mullet like haired man smiled.

"Who doesn't like pie?" Axel shot him a smile.

"The name's Luxord. If you ever want to be beat in a game of poker, let me know" he held out his cards and smirked.

"Don't go to him. He gets drunk easily and gives beatings all around, plus he cheats" Roxas whispered to Dirge as the light blond haired man sat down.

"My name's Larxene you little brat! Keep out of my room, don't touch me, and keep outta my way!" the blond haired girl with antennae like spikes yelled as she pointed at her. A loud growl came from the corner of the table. Saix was snarling in her direction, warning her to sit down and act right or take her anger up with his beastly wrath. Not showing her fright, Larxene slowly sat down as she sighed in annoyance.

"Zexion. If you need something let me know, but first," the dark haired officer set down his book and scooted his chair back, "I need something from you."

Dirge tilted her head in confusion and looked up to Roxas who gave her a small shrug. Suddenly, Zexion jumped across the table in her direction, knocking over her chair but not touching any of the glass or silverware on the table. Roxas and Axel automatically shot out of their chairs in surprise. While trying to get Zexion off of the little soldier, several of the other members stood up, alarmed about the sudden action. Dirge flailed her arms excitedly and giggled as Zexion tickled her.

"I knew it! You're all pedophiles!" Roxas pointed at almost everybody at the table.

"Roxas, calm down" Zexion called from below. He was calming down and holding her gently.

"Oh, so that's what you were doing" Axel let go of Zexion's coat.

Slowly, the Cloaked Schemer stood up with Dirge in his arms, Dirge starting to calm down in his arms. Oddly, the officer put his face to her neck...and sniffed. She giggled again at the feel, her tail wagging happily.

"Alright then. What I needed was your scent. That way I can tell where you are and have been" he picked up her chair and set her back down.

All watched in confusion and shock as Zexion calmly walked back to his seat and picked up his book, unfazed and unaware of the looks his fellow members were giving him.

"You're a freak, Zexion"

"Shut up, bitch"

Roxas sighed, wishing they wouldn't cuss around Dirge, but they probably wouldn't be able to go long without letting out a good swear right in front of her. It would be no use, she would have to endure the swearing.

"Woah, where'd the tail come from?" Demyx asked, remembering the wagging tail on the little girl.

Everybody froze and looked toward Dirge. She looked around in confusion and tilted her head again.

"What're you guys freaking out about? It's just a little tail" Axel picked Dirge up, exposing her tail. She wagged it again before being set back down.

"That's abnormal" Vexen leaned forward to get a better look.

"Looks cute enough to pet" Marluxia smiled.

"Is she some type half breed puppy thing?" Luxord raised any eyebrow.

"Ew! If she craps like a dog, I don't want her anywhere near me!" Larxene pretended to gag.

"Leave her alone Larxene. She's still a kid" Zexion glared at her.

"Still, I don't want to be the one to rip another tail off a dog"

At that, Dirge was starting to shrink into her seat. Just the idea made her sick. Axel noticed this and quickly picked her up while petting her head and glaring at Larxene.

"Poor Chi Chi!" Xaldin began to sob.

"Larxene! Will you just shut the hell up?" Xigbar shot at her.

"It looks cute. I love it" Saix hid a smirk behind his hand, a strange glint in his eyes.

"Still, just keep that brat mutt thing away from me" Larxene ignored the others comments.

"That's the same thing we say about you, but you don't seem to get a clue, do you?" Axel shot up in Dirge's defense, a sense of anger building in his chest.

Dirge looked around in confusion, huddling up next to Roxas who held her against his side.

"Enough!" Saix barked, his eyes glowing a deep yellow as he shot out of his chair. All conversations stopped as Saix eyed almost everyone around the table.

"I will not have this going on about her. Larxene," he turned to the Savage Nymph trying to shrink down into her chair, "if you're going to act this way then take it up with Xemnas, but you do not talk or act in such a way to Dirge" he growled.

Nervously, she nodded and tried to shrink more into her chair. It was best just to agree and do whatever Saix said whenever he was angry in order to avoid being ripped to pieces. Calming himself down, Saix sat back down and calmly waited for Xemnas.

"What he said" Xigbar pointed to the blue haired man, proving how lazy he was when it came to other people's problems.

"I heard some ruckus in here so I'm going to guess that you all really want breakfast" Xemnas rolled in with a food cart with several trays and pitches morning drinks on it.

The room went quiet as a few stomachs rumbled, surprising Dirge enough to make her jump.

"I thought so" Xemnas sighed and closed his eyes.

Within minutes, all the members were enjoying some pancakes, a few slices of bacon, an egg, and a glass of milk or orange juice. Axel looked next to him to see that Dirge was eating a little slower than the others. She was holding onto her plushie tightly in one arm, while slowly eating with the other. Her tail was pointing straight out behind her through the hole in the chair. Carefully, he put her hand on her back. Surprised, she jumped a little and looked up at him.

"You okay?" he whispered as he leaned down a little.

"Uh huh" she nodded.

"Are you sure?" he asked, putting his forehead to hers.

She looked to the side and shrugged. "I feel a little...weird" she answered.

"Well, that's probably being around Xaldin for this long soaking in or your body getting a little used to being heartless" he put the back of his hand to her chest, no heart beat within it.

"Okay" she smiled and they both got back to eating breakfast.

Finally finishing their breakfast, the high ranked Nobodies walked one by one into the kitchen and set their dishes into the dishwasher. Both Axel and Roxas waited until Dirge was finished eating before taking their plates into the kitchen and setting them in the dishwasher. Together, the trio walked down the hallway once they were done.

"So now what?" Dirge asked, looking up to Axel for answers.

"Now we move on to the next part of the day. Battle practice" he looked down to her as he crossed his arms behind his back.

"Battle practice?" she repeated his answer.

"Yeah, we have to practice so that we can build up our strength and power almost twice a week" Roxas explained.

"Is it fun?" the little girl asked as she put the plushie on her head.

"Only if you're one of the sadistic sick minded people who enjoy causing other people pain and misery" Roxas rushed through his words with obvious disgust, shivers crawling up his spine.

"Or one of the people who actually want to gain more power and strength by battling others" Axel put in on a lighter note as he looked down at her.

"If you don't mind bullets being shot into your butt, blades scratching you up, being burnt to a crisp, having some weapon lodged in your back, picking up 52 giant cards, or just being bed ridden the rest of the day" Roxas returned the darkside to the conversation.

"It doesn't sound very fun" Dirge shook her head as she looked up at him with a bit of fear.

"And that's why you're going to be watching us from the sidelines. You won't get hurt or involved that way and you can watch me beat up little Garage Keys here" number 8 set his hand on number 13's head who was showing obvious dislike of it.

"You're not going to hurt him a lot are you?" Dirge looked up to them with worry.

Roxas opened his mouth to talk, but Axel slapped his hand on his head again and beat him to the answer. "It'll only look like Roxas is getting hurt a lot. He's really okay though" he winked to her while Roxas shuddered.

"Well, okay!" she quickly agreed, a smile returning to her face.

"You're horrible. Lying to a little kid" Roxas growled through his teeth while his lips formed a fake smile.

"It's not lying if I'm actually telling her the truth, Roxy" Axel ruffled his hair as they neared the arena door.
