A/N: So Luxord was a bit of a challenge. :P I tried to make use of card analogies and things like that, but it was harder than I thought. LOL I'm sitting in the middle with this one, but it's okay. Liked the first half of the chapter more than the second. Luxord's a pretty awesome character just because he's one of the few KH characters with facial hair (and he's so well-groomed :D). Travis Touchdown—er, I mean, Luxord's title, in my humble opinion, has some double meanings and I think it's awesome. "Gambler of Fate." I know he's a gambler/card dealer and I'm cool with that. In fact, I think Luxord would be the smoothest gambler ever. :P Just thought I'd try something a little different since I saw another meaning to his title. Since most of his weapons in Days were named after the major arcana in Tarot reading, I decided to go with the fortune telling thing. :) And honestly I like it; totally fits with Luxord considering luck and perhaps fate/destiny are kinda tied together. Does that make sense? xD LOL

Thanks for reading and reviewing! Please enjoy and R&R!

Shuffling cards had always been a 'calming' ritual for him. Luxord didn't have a clue as to why that was, but he never questioned it. He surmised that it was probably a habit from his Somebody life.

He laid a few cards face down on the table and arranged them with intention. What kind of luck would the Lady of Fortune shine down today? A slide of that card here; a swap of this card there…

A Nobody's life was a constant gamble.

Luxord continued his daily card reading even after the other members entered the Grey Area. With a few more rearrangements of the cards, Luxord finally pulled one card from his deck and flipped it. A bemused smirk crossed his face. An interesting luck of the draw…

"What'cha doing?" Xigbar inquired, leaning against the back of the couch.

The blond collected his deck. "It seems time is about to run out for someone."

Xigbar looked skeptical. "Oh yeah? Says who?"

Flashing his card, Luxord answered, "The cards never lie."

And Luxord truly believed that; especially when the Organization received news the next day that the first member on the Castle Oblivion operation had fallen…

Justice had been dealt.
