Chapter one: Trouble with the heartless

"Lexy... Lexy, wake up!" The silvery-blue haired boy said, shaking the girl who was sleeping.

"Oni-chan...?" Lexy said grogilly, opening her eyes. "What do you want?"

"Somthing's up with the heartless! They wont listen to me!"

"What?!"

"Look!" Riku lifted up the leg of his shorts to reveal a bleeding bite wound.

Lexy threw off her black blankets and sat up. "Let me tend that for you." She said, reaching a hand out.

"Not now!" He slapped it away. "You have to help me with the heartless!"

"Fine." She stuck out her toung.

"You know, for a co-ruler of all darkness... You sure are immature!" He said.

"Am not!"

"You are too immature!"

"I didn't say I wasn't immature, I mean I'm not the co-ruler of all darkness, I own it all baby!" She said.

"Suuure... You'd be nowhere without me."

"Would too. I'm the queen of darkness, I can do anything you can!"

"Look, we don't have time for this!" Riku grabbed her hand and dragged her to the door.

On the way out she grabbed her keyblade.

"What do you need that for?" Riku asked.

"Just in case." Lexy answered.

"You can't kill our minions!"

"I can do what I like, and besides, I can always make more." She laughed manically.

Riku shivered. "I don't care if I am king of darness, that's still scary."

As they reached the door of the chamber of heartless, Lexy stopped laughing and put on a serious face.

She opened the door and all the heartless were out of their cages, running around frantically and making a serious of clicking noises.

"SILENCE!" Lexy yelled. "THIS IS YOUR QUEEN AND MOTHER SPEAKING! I DEMAND TO KNOW WHAT HAS GOTTEN INTO ALL OF YOU! WHY HAVE YOU DISOBEYED THE KING, AND DARED TO BITE HIM?!"

All the heartless went silent.

"I'M WAITING!"

A single heartless stepped foreward. He made squeaking noises, translated to: "He tried to make us go through the doors."

"And? That IS your duty." Lexy said.

"We're scared."

"Scared?! why?! You're my all powerfull creatures of the night! What could you possibly be scared of?!"

"Him."

"Him?"

"The one who weilds the weaopon that looks like yours. The few of our brothers and sisters who made it back warned us of him."

Lexy thought for a second. 'No.. It can't be.' "Look, you have nothing to worry about. He was defeted long ago, and poses no threat."

"Are you sure, my queen?"

"Positive. Now, let the king show you to your doors."

"Your wish is our command, mother."

"What were they going crazy about?" Riku asked.

"I'll tell you later."

Lexy walked up the stairs and left Riku to take care of bussiness.
