Must I repeat myself? I don't own Kingdom Hearts with its Squareness and Disneyness. Otherwise, I would be...doing...stuff...to...the...females...But yeah, I own nothing.

Three figures sat on a couch in a white room, looking through an orb. The orb was projecting a view of the Heartless battling a cloaked blonde wielding one wing and a wrapped up blade. What happened next in the orb pretty much upset one of the figures while at least another smirked.

"I do believe you owe me 100 munny." This voice belonged to a blond man with very short hair. Out of the three, he was the only one who had a mustache and beard, both that were trimmed.

"I knew I picked the wrong guy for the bet." The person who handed the money to the former was also blone, but he had a mullet and no facial hair. He was also the youngest of the three.

"Quiet, both of you!" scolded the redhead of the group. His hair was a mass of spikes flowing to the back, and his face had tears drawn on them. "You should have known that Cloud's no pushover, even if the Heartless are known for their expertise."

"Didn't you also bet on the Heartless, Axel?" The young blonde whined. "You also owe Luxord too!"

"Hey hey," the redheaded Axel argued. "I said I would like to bet on them, but I did not do the actual betting. You have to be careful how things get worded. Got it memorized?"

"I was hoping you would at least risk something, Axel. Winning just isn't fun if you guys give up." The bearded Luxord stroke his...beard.

The blonde Demyx sighed, plucking a few strings on his blue sitar. "It would be more exciting if we could sit in the coliseum itself instead of having to sit here."

"Excitement?" questioned Luxord as he leaned back on his seat, shuffling his cards. "That was a good feeling. It make me wonder, for us who battle for excitement, if we fight to feel that again."

"It's the same as losing someone so close..." Axel twirled one of his chakrams around. Demyx looked at him with a face of disgust, but Axel continued. "Sure, the pain doesn't exist, but your feelings about that person can never surface. Things like kinsmanship and revenge, emotional motivators, no longer provide a spark for us."

Luxord nodded. "I suppose that's true. Our emotions used to guide us, and our thirst for emotions continue to guide us today. It's a game for us nobodies to actually feel emotions."

"HEY! That team just got served by a Shadow!" The three looked at each other and laughed. Well, they tried, but they did not really have any reason to laugh except that such an event would have made them laugh. Sure, some of the other Organization members, the other Nobodies, had already ceased the need to laugh or display other kinds of emotions, but that was ironic. Ironic being that Xemnas, the Superior who was coming up with a plan to give them hearts, disapproved of many emotions.

Suddenly, the three heard a howl, and they turned around to see someone step out of a dark portal. While these portals were common to them, it was the person who just arrived that was unusual. The obvious difference was that, while everyone here wore a black hooded cloak, this man's cloak swirled with both black and white. His hood concealed his face, so nobody was able to recognize him.

The three stood up and pointed their weapons against this intruder. However, the intruder did not say anything. Instead, he continued to walk towards the three. Then he vanished, leaving the three wondering where the intruder went. Unfortunately, Axel found out as a fist knocked the back of his head, sending him flying forward. His two comrades looked at Axel and at the now present intruder, ready to go against this foe. However, the foe spoke, and neither his voice or words reassured Demyx and Luxord.

"Bring me to Xemnas..."

Kairi picked up a bottled letter that was resting on the shore. It was not the same bottle she had sent out earlier, but taking a closer look at it, she saw three circles on the letter. She recognized this symbol since Donald and Goofy had shown her their old letter from the king before, so this letter would be addressed to either Sora or Riku. She did not really mind how the letter found its way here, yet she did mind when she turned around...

"Sora? When did you get here?" Kairi was surprised to see her friend. "And...why are you in a tuxedo?"

The navy blue Sora smiled with confidence. "We've known each other for a long time, Kairi. I'm sorry if this is sudden, but..." Sora kneeled down and opened a small box. In it was a ring with a diamond shaped like the charm Kairi made for him. "Will you marry me?"
