Yea, so you know, although this was ment to be up about 2 weeks ago, I haven't had the time to work on it due to my grandmother being in hospital, trying to complete school work and when I had free time, I couldn't think of anything for the chapter... It isn't my best work ever, but due to everything that has been happening, and my want to get on with it and make sure people weren't waiting too long for it, I think it turned out well enough... I have already started on the next one though, so that should be up fairly quickly... Also, I came up with a random one-shot called "Hidden Secrets - Odd Jaden" so it would be good if you decided to check that out too... Anywho, enjoy the latest chapter and I'll do my best to update quicker on my next chappy... Enjoy =)

They had just finished eating their tea when Marik decided to talk about his leadership "Ok, if you want me to lead you, I have two conditions. 1: As you know, I hate that you all have the letter 'X' in your name, and, although you didn't know this before, I can only control people named Steve, so I want you all to sign this contract legally changing your name to Steve. Feel free to call each other by your real name, but legally, it will be incorrect" Marik handed each person a 357 page contract and a pen with 'All Hail Marik' written on it. (Not a single Steve knew how he had got pens with that on it so quickly, but didn't feel like asking, in fear of another long winded, confusing explanation) They all signed it, but only Xemnas actually read any of it (but got bored 75 pages in). "My second condition is: We will be called 'Organisation Thirteen' and I will call you all Steve and then a number. Xemnas, you are Steve 1 and Xigbar, I'll call you Steve 2..."

A/N: I can't be bothered to write it all, but basically, it is in the order he met them in.

"And lastly, Saix, you will be called Steve 7. The number I have given you will also be your order of rank" This annoyed most of the members of the organisation. Saix spoke first "Ok, so you got one of us right. We already had a ranking system. I.e. I was Xemnas' right hand man. Xigbar was ranked seven. You completely switched us and everyone else is wrong too." Xaldin agreed with Saix "Although I like the promotion, I'm already rank four and really don't think we need to change what we are" Marik wasn't impressed with the reactions of his followers "I pick your rank or I find Kingdom Hearts on my own and I can get more followers than you could ever get. With more followers/brainwashed idiots doing my bidding, I could probably get enough hearts to find the Kingdom Hearts within a week. So it's up to you. But remember, if you don't keep me, I can quite easily find new people and give you a 'stabbed in the eye socket'. If you already have one, I'm sure you could find a friend to give it to instead. Damn you Xemnas and your power to make me ramble." This caused Xemnas to laugh "Ok, we agree to what you want to do, but only if you let us use Roman numerals. They are so much more evil than the numbers you are used to." "What do you know about what numbers I'm used to. And what the hell are Roman numerals?" It was Saix that answered the question "As Xemnas' RIGHT HAND MAN! I will explain it to you. You see, it goes like this. The letter I is 1, V is 5, X is 10. If you want 4, then you draw this: IV. The 7 is drawn: VII and 13 is drawn XIII. Get it?" Marik looked like he had just sat through a 5 hour lecture about genetic mutation "No I don't. It's to confusing. Explain it better, Mind Slave" "My name is Saix, not Mind Slave, not Steve 7, Saix. How about I just write it all for you?

A/N: Yes, I did have to write them all out... It let me make the chapter look bigger and I hoped that I would be able to come up with more stuff for this chappy... Didn't work out, but it did kill time and space.

Get it now? If not, then study it until you understand it. Then you will see just how evil they really do look"

A/N: This is the result of trying to explain Roman numerals in class to a new student (who is in her 30's) because she was reading a book with them and she voiced that she didn't get it. The whole class tried to help and the explanation you just read is pretty much the worst one we had... Thanks to the fact I can quote things I hear really well, I memorised it and decided to put it in the story. The only way she understood it was when I got sick of her stupidity and wrote it down. After about half an hour she came up to me and told me she understood it and that she was glad I was sick of the stupid ways cause she finally understood how it worked.

Marik decided that he would give in and let them have their own way. Then he realised why they picked Roman numerals "They use the letter 'X'! I hate you guys. I thought I could get out of the letter 'X' by changing your names, but no. You decide to make the Organisation name have an 'X'. Remind me why I offered to help you again?" Zexion began to get annoyed with Marik's attitude "If you don't wanna help, then just go back home. Deal with your host and his boyfriend. I don't care anymore, and you aren't going to rule me if you can't handle a single letter. None of us will accept you if you keep acting like this. You're worse than a 3 year old and I know you have been around longer than that. I'm out of here." As he turned to leave, Marik stopped him "You nobodies are meant to have no emotions, but you are throwing a tantrum. Sure I'm annoyed that you tricked me into keeping an 'X' but I wasn't planning on leaving. I was just having a bit of fun with you, but you had to get all emotional about it. You need to settle down."

After a few hours of bickering, they finally all calmed down and started to act like they normally would. It was after all the fighting that Marik realised something "You keep telling me that you don't have a heart or any emotions, yet I've seen Xemnas in hysterics, Saix jealous and Zexion was just angry. This makes no sense. I need you to explain it to me or I will never understand how you work." Xigbar thought that Marik was a little slow if he just worked it out and decided to explain the reasoning behind it "Although we don't have feelings anymore, we still know how we would act in certain situations and it causes us to put on a show for those around us. If we don't want to, we can still be a proper nobody, but it makes us feel more like ourselves. So does the letter 'X'. You may have heard the saying "'X' marks the spot", well, because we are searching for something to make us whole, the letter 'X' makes us feel complete, instead of like we are still on the search. I know it is hard for you to understand, but it is just how it is for us." "I understand. It is like hugs make me feel like I am still with my host when he was a child. Oh, and so you know, my hugs couldn't hurt my host. I never learnt how to inflict pain onto my little Marik. Such a shame really, because if I had, it would have saved me a lot of trouble, and I wouldn't have ended up being destroyed by the so called king of games." This caused everyone to want a break from everything, so they could regain composure for later that day.
