Jessica's Point of View

A week had passed since I met Yuffie and Leon. In that time, Ienzo and I spent our days inside playing in our rooms. Some days he would come to my room; some days, I would come to his. I hadn't been able to see Xehanort since he was unconscious. Every time I asked Mr. Ansem about it, he told me that Xehanort's not ready to see people yet.

There was a knock on my door, and I answered it to find Mr. Ansem and Xehanort at the other side. "You remember Xehanort. He's going to be living here as my apprentice until further notice. I thought you might like to be the first person outside of my apprentices to meet him since you've been asking so much. I'll leave you two alone," Mr. Ansem said before leaving Xehanort and me.

I observed Xehanort. He was wearing a lab coat like Ienzo's, Ansem's, and Even's. "So, you're Xehanort. I'm Jessica. Nice to meet you." I held out my hand for him to shake it.

He stared at my hand for a moment. I held my breath as I silently pleaded for him not to recognize me. Finally, after a few agonizing moments, he shook it. "Nice to meet you too. Do I know you? You seem familiar." Xehanort asked.

"Uh... No. I don't think so. I mean, I've seen so many faces that it's so hard to place one," I quickly lied.

"I see. I just thought- Sorry to bother you about it," Xehanort apologized.

"Oh! No need to apologize. If you ever remember anything, then you can let me know. Maybe I'll be able to help you figure it out." I smiled as kindly as I could. The conversation was slowly killing me on the inside.

Xehanort nodded. "Well, thank you. I suppose I'll be here until further notice. If you ever find out anything about me, I would love to know." Xehanort turned to leave. "Jess." He whispered as he left.

I could feel my heart racing. I knew that I had to tell Mickey and Master Yen Sid that he knew my nickname. I wasn't sure how I would do it, but I needed to find an excuse somehow.


Sorry that this was so short. It was hard to think of things for Xehanort to say. I'm not very familiar with apprentice Xehanort. Thank you, gutsoverfear, for following and favoriting.

FanFictionWriter123: Yuffie seems like the aggressive type, so I thought it would be funny if she liked Ienzo and Ienzo wanted nothing to do with her. (That and I've been watching too much anime with girls obsessing over boys lately.)
