Xed sat at the table, her elbow was resting ion the surface, her arm propping her head up. She frowned deeply. She glanced over to where Number XII was sitting across from her, busily reading a Full Metal Alchemist manga, chuckling at the parts where the good guys got attacked. Number XIII frowned deeper, if even possible.

She was really bored.

The child sighed, hoping to get Larxene's attention.

It didn't work.

She sighed again, this time, louder.

Still, the woman didn't look up from her book, although an expression of annoyance appeared on her face.

Xed sighed again, this time so loud and with so much effort that her lungs strained to push the air out, and she leaned forward in her chair.

Larxene placed her manga roughly on the table, and looked up, not looking over in Xed's direction.

"Fine, I'll bite." She said, her annoyance apparent in her voice. She then sent a toned-down version of her signature death glare Xed's way. "What's up, kid?"

"Larxene, I'm bored." Xed answered, so innocently and child-like that Larxene had to suppress a cruel laugh.

"Join the rest of us." She said, setting for a scoff, and looking back down at her book. Xed leaned back in her chair, placing her hands in her lap.

"No, I mean I'm bored like I don't get to do anything…"

Larxene looked up with something close to interest in her eyes.

"What do you mean by that?" she asked, masking her curiosity with a tone void of emotion. Luckily, the girl didn't catch on.

"Why does everyone else get sent on missions and I don't?"

Larxene smirked.

At this point, she could've spilled out everything Xemnas had in plan for her. After all, she could care less about the Organization. If it had been the real her at Castle Oblivion and not some clone, she would've still partnered up with Marluxia to take over the Organization. She was only stuck here because, if she left, she'd be killed. And she still had so much to do…

She could've ruined everything for Xemnas and his stupid little 'Kingdom Hearts' idea. Bah, the fool! Everyone knew it'd ultimately fail. Except for him, apparently. And besides, the girl would find out sooner or later.

But later would hurt more…

Another evil smirk passed onto her lips.

"It's because you're not useful, not strong enough." She explained. "Ever play Chess kid?" Xed, although 'feeling' a little hurt from her first remark, nodded.

"Yeah. So?"

"The you would know that the pawns are the pieces you throw out first." She chuckled cruelly. "And that's all you are to Xemnas – a pawn!" Number XIII narrowed her eyes and frowned.

"That's not true!" she exclaimed, crossing her arms. Larxene rolled her eyes and leaned back in her chair, shaking her head and smiling, completely amused.

"Oh please, all lesser members like you are nothing but pawns. Stupid, worthless pawns."

"May I remind you Larxene," Xed started, a smirk of her own slipping onto her face, "that you're only one rank higher than me."

Larxene's amused expression dropped, rapidly changing into one of dangerous fury.

"Stupid little brats like you shouldn't be seen, much less heard from." She hissed bitterly.

"Could say the same for you, stupid PMS-ing idiot…" Xed thought sourly, not daring to let the poisoned words slip out her mouth. She nevertheless calmly rose from the table, and walked towards the door.

"I'll prove that I'm not just a worthless pawn." She said, her back still turned towards Larxene. "I'll find my usefulness and strength in this Organization." She then turned around, flashing a promising smile her way. "Just wait and see!" And with that, the ran off upstairs.

Larxene thought nothing of her stupid little 'pep' speech, and went back to reading her manga.

Stupid little Twerp…you just don't get it! You're more useful, and stronger than the entire Organization put together.

You're not a pawn Xemnas will throw away…

Hours later, Zexion wandered upstairs into the library, to catch up on his reading. He had grown to liking poetry to a certain degree, finding it a nice change from the long tomes and novels he usually read.

He portaled inside, but instead of sensing nothing but the smell of books and still air, he sensed another being in his presence.

"Zexion!!" A voice called out excitedly, belonging to no other than Xed. Zexion watched in amused curiosity as the girl ran up to him, a heavy grey tome in hand.

"What's wrong, Xedramon?" he asked as the girl took a second or two to catch her breath.

Wordlessly, she thrust the tome up towards Zexion, so he could read the cover.

Leaning in a bit, Zexion was able to read the faded letting of the text's cover:

"Machinery and Weapon Construction for Beginners?" The Schemer read slowly, raising an eyebrow at the end. What would she want with this book.

Xed smiled brilliantly at him.

"I think I might've found my usefulness in the Organization."

Sorta short, but important chapter! Oh, and a bit of a note:

When I had mentioned:

If it had been the real her at Castle Oblivion and not some clone, she would've still partnered up with Marluxia to take over the Organization.

(From Larxene's thoughts)

You wouldn't get what I was talking about unless you read (I believe Ch 5? I may be wrong…) of KH 2-3: SOBD.

Basically, the reason why in my story all of the Organization members from Castle Oblivion were still alive was because Vexen, along with Zexion, came up with a 'virtual' Castle Oblivion. None of the Organization members were real, only clones, set to think, rationalize, and plot the same as the real Organization member would've. It was all to test Riku and Sora, two VERY important Keybladers.

So, technically, Castle Oblivion never REALLY happened…

Oh, and I've decided to add something new:

Chapter Previews!!!

At the end of each chapter, I'm gonna provide a short preview of the next chapter – who's involved, what may happen, random quotes – all to get ya excited! (I didn't mean it like that, you perverts out there (wags finger and clicks tongue))

So here's the preview for CHAPTER 13:

"Hey Kuxir!"

"Great! Glad you could make it for training."

"You said you wanted me to meet someone. Who was it?"

"Oh yeah…"

Xed cocked her head to the side.

"You look really familiar…what's your name again?"

"He has a Keyblade too."

This one's a bit obvious, but the ones in the future will be a lot more surprising!!

If you Review, PLEASE PLEASE PLEASEEEEEE let me know if you like the 'Chapter Preview' thing!

Thank you:D
