A/N: Okay, I know the last couple of chapters were not really that good, but there's a reason for that though. I'm actually trying to get all of the main charaters in first (which pretty much happened last chapter) and then go into more detail. So, this chapter and the ones after are actually where it gets better. I'm just used to doing that and it's kind of a bad habbit of mine, but this will probably be the last time I'll do a fic like that (and I might go back and fix it later, but I'm still debating on it). As for the grammar, I'm trying tocorrect itit, so it will take a while before the fic's grammar isfixed. So anyways...

Chapter 8: "The Neo-Organization"

Riku finally got back to the hideout after a little while of walking and thinking about what King Mickey had said.

You have to keep it a secret, you can't tell anyone Cody is your nobody.

"Dammit," Riku thought to himself while walking though the door and closing it behind him, "the first thing Tori is probably going to ask is what happened. I seriously can't lie to her. Heck, I can't even lie to Sora or Kairi...even Kairi. Which is kinda sad, but there has to be some way I can avoid it! Only question is...how?"

As Riku looked and expected to find one of his friends, he noticed no one was there to greet him. Everyone was asleep, which was no wonder because it was still night.

"Well, at least I don't have to worry about it for at least another couple of hours." He muttered to himself and then started to walk to Tori's room.

As Riku went down the hall to see if Tori was still awake, a weird sensation went though him. He then found himself kneeling on the floor. The only person who could make something like this happen would be...

"Xemnas! Er...Ansem...wait! Grr..."

"No, you were right the first time, Riku. Don't strain yourself." Xemnas's voice said inside of Riku's heart.

"Gee, you care about me all of the sudden? Well, that's a first." Riku said sarcastically.

"I know, doesn't it just make you overjoyed?"

"Spare me the sarcasm."

"Well, you started it."

"I'm not going to argue with someone who is only a dark memory for me. By the way, how does someone like you get a job like this? You know, being a pain in the ass, I didn't know there were openings for that."

"And you said to spare you the sarcasm."

"Shut up."

"I'm only stating what you said. You're just mad because I just owned you and you know it."

"Who...cares. Anyways, that aside, why are you talking to me again, and as Xemnas? It's been over a month."

"Did you miss me?"

"Xemnas!"

"Okay, okay, fine. I was on vacation. Plus, my true self no longer exists."

"Well, that explains alot. HOW THE HELL CAN YOU BE ON VACATION?"

"I have my ways."

Riku slaps his hand on his face.

"Xemnas, quit being an idiot and tell me what the hell is going on."

Riku removes his hand from his face and waits for Xemnas's reply, only to hear nothing.

"XEMNAS, I SWEAR!" Riku yells, but only loud enough so him and Xemnas can hear.

"Okay, geez! It's classified."

"What...the...hell."

"I made it look like I left you because of the Ne-"

"Don't tell me. 'Neo-Organization', right?"

"Yes, so you have heard of them?"

"No one has told me anything. I wonder why."

"Want me to tell you what I know?"

Riku was silent for a moment.

"It's going to come at a price, isn't it?"

"..Yeah, I see you've caught on."

"What do you want?"

"You mean, you're actually willing to-"

"Yes! I don't care anymore, everyone is hiding stuff from me. I don't want to be left in the dark about this."

"Okay, if you wish. You tell me your secret about your darkness wielding, and I'll tell you anything and everything you want to know about this Neo-Organization. Deal?"

"Okay, deal. You go first."

"Why didn't I see that coming?"

"Because you're in control of my heart, not my mind."

"...You're good. Okay, anyways," Xemnas said while clearing his throat, "Where do you want to start?"

"How did it come to be?"

"Well...after you and that other keyblade master defeated me, my organization was pretty much in shambles, as you can tell. Then, here's the weird part, a wandering nobody found out about my little organization, see. He goes by the name of Josh. He's a skilled darkness wielder, like you. But, he's really a nobody in reality."

"How can that be? Isn't it next to impossible to have a nobody control darkness that well?"

"I don't know much myself, Riku. Anyways, he decided to make the 'Neo-Organization' from the newborn nobodies and a couple of people he controlled through brain washing."

"Wait! Did you just say-"

"Yes, Bre and Cody are prime examples. Unfortunately, it's going to be harder to save Cody, alot harder."

"Why?"

"Because, his heart, or his will I should say, isn't as strong as others. Yeah sure, he may act tough, but he really isn't."

"Which makes it easier to manipulate him, right?"

"BINGO!"

"...I get it now! But that still leaves one question."

"What is it?"

"Why is his hea- I mean, will like that?"

"Ask your girlfriend."

"Tori? What would she know?"

"Alot more than you think, I can asure you. Anyways, anything else?"

"Hmm..."

"You can ask me anything else later."

"Okay."

"Now, it's your time to hold your end of the bargain."

"Right...I don't have a secret."

"Wha? You're lying!"

"No, I'm not. It just kind of came naturally. All I can say is, with your attitude, you can't really do much."

"How do you know?"

"I've seen it time and time again. People think they can easily use the darkness to their advantage, when really it's the darkness that can easily use people to its advantage."

"...You know, that was almost deep."

"Thank you."

"Well, okay. I'll leave you alone then."

"One more thing."

"Yeah?"

"How did you know about all of this?"

"...I have my ways."

"...Okay."

With that, Xemnas's voice went silent, and morning was now coming into view of the window.

"I better go to Tori's room." Riku said to himself.

Riku got up and walked over to her room, opened her door, and noticed she was asleep.

"Aww, she looks so cute when she's asleep." Riku thought.

He closed the door quietly, laid down on the couch, and fell asleep. Even in his dreams, he was still thinking about the Neo-Organization, Cody and Bre being brainwashed, why Xemnas knew all about the new organization, and of course, Tori.
