A/N: Well, I hope y'all are having a wonderful holiday. Have some angst! :P

Warnings: For parental neglect and Kadaj. This doesn't actually talk about his stalking of Kairi, but I figure it's better safe than sorry, and it is there in implication (i.e. it's why Roxas hates Kadaj). So yeah.

Dedication: To Ghostwriter and Lauren, for whom I always wish nothing but the best.

Disclaimer: See chapter 1.

Prompt 36: Father Figure


Riku was the first person that Xion ever remembered feeling sorry for. It was bad enough that the best mother-figure he had was Aunt Kairi, as his own mother was…flighty, at best. But having Kadaj for your dad just sucked.

Xion didn't hate Kadaj like Roxas and Sora did, but she still held a great distaste for the man.

He just didn't seem to care about his son at all, beyond whatever benefit Riku may have given him on occasion. Being nothing more than a means to an end, and knowing it, Xion figured, seemed to be a sad existence.
