Chapter 3: Xukir (A/N: pronounced: Zoo-Ki-er)

The heartless continued to appear. Even Marluxia grew tired. At this rate, soon even a Shadow heartless would kill them. Suddenly, Dusks began to appear.

"No… Not this! Not now!" Riku growled. To his surprise, as well as his friends, the Dusks began to attack the heartless and not them. It seemed the Nobodies were on their side. The Dusks, with ease, lowered the numbers of the heartless and fought alongside Riku and the others. This must be Naminé's doing, Riku thought. However, with the entrance of a stranger, he found he was wrong. This stranger in fact, commanded the Dusks and once all the heartless had been eliminated, the Dusks disappeared by the will of the unknown person. He wore the hood of the Organization XIII members so he was indeed a Nobody himself. He approached Riku.

"Riku…"the stranger began in such a soft tone.

"Who are you? How do you know my name? Why did you help us?" Riku demanded.

"I only helped you. The fact your…friends were here was a mere convenience on their behalf."

"Who are you?"

"Me, I am what you see. To ask who am I is the same was to ask what am I since who and what are derived from the same form of questioning and as you can see what I am is a Nobody."

"Do you work for Organization XIII?"

"No, but I used to and because of that I still have possession over this cloak but since the Organization was destroyed I am no longer a member and it's not like I wanted to be but you see with being a Nobody I had no other choice."

"Then what is your name?"

"Finally, a question that asks exactly what you want to know and it seems I can't use it as a loop hole to throw you off your true goal by giving you questionable facts that I can manipulate to thwart you. My name is Xukir."

"Xukir? Tell me, whose Nobody are you?"

"Naturally you should know that a Nobody doesn't really know who their somebody is but it seems that you deduced I may know mine but again, I love to toy with you by twisting around what you say to benefit me. I am a Nobody and have no knowledge of who my somebody is. I exist before you and that is all that matters."

"But what you said just means you're lying."

"Good work. Seems I can't fast talk you. But I won't give you a straight answer. Do you like games Riku?"

"I suppose…"

"A Nobody's name is derived off of their somebody's name. Xemnas was Ansem and Roxas was Sora. Seeing this similarity and knowing my name, it is quite obvious who my somebody is."

"It's-" Marluxia began but was cut off by Xukir, "Now now, the game isn't any fun if someone gives away the answer. However, my time is cut short and I must be on my way. I take it by the time we meet again, if ever, you will know the answer to your question."

Xukir disappeared into a dark hole that Organization members used to use to teleport between places. It didn't take Riku long to learn the answer. He was a very smart person and enjoyed games such as this. Marluxia, being a Nobody himself already knew as well, even before Xukir offered the hints. Until we meet again huh? Riku thought. That Xukir is a strange person. I wonder what his purpose is.

To be continued…

-alright kiddies, out off all the Nobody names; it is quite easy who Xukir belongs to so come on, tell me. Don't cheat by reading the next chapter either you suckers!
