Thanks to a conversation with my reviewer, I found out what a self-insert was... So I changed my pen name to xMegumix... Thank you! And trust me people, this will not be a Mary sue...

Hallways... lots and lots of hallways. Not to mention the stairs... The walk was becoming very monotonous and I was starting to wonder just exactly who these people were. Sure, I knew Axel was some strange man who kidnaps people at random without telling them why, but hey... The other people in this place may be different. I walked into Axel when he came to an abrupt halt. Rubbing my nose gingerly, I peered around him to see a door in front of us.

"Is this where your leader is?"

Axel merely nodded, turning and facing me with a serious face. Whoa... he isn't meant for those...

"Wait here. I'll have you come in once my leader says to, and when you talk to him, don't do anything stupid..." Axel then turned and knocked on the door. A muffled response was heard before Axel left me in the hallway. Fiddling with a lock of my hair, I stared at the door anxiously. I wonder what kind of a conversation is going on in there... By the way Axel seemed when he was about to go in, his leader must be a pretty scary guy. Great for me... I jumped as I heard the door open. Looking up, Axel was eyeing me carefully.

"You can come in..." I nodded and tried to look calm as I entered. Geez, this whole meet the leader business is pretty freaky... Upon walking into the room I found someone in a black jacket... Everyone seems to have this thing... His back was turned towards me, so I couldn't see his face. I did see his long white hair. I stiffened when he started to speak.

"Do you know who you are...?"

I blinked and glanced back at Axel. He was watching his leader with an emotionless expression. I looked at the ground and took a breath.

"I'm just Yuki... right?"

The man was silent and turned so that he was looking at me. His eyes were yellow and he had tanned skin. It contrasted greatly with his hair and his jacket. He stared at me for a moment before responding.

"No... It's strange. Your name is contradicting to who and what you really are."

I blinked and stayed silent, waiting for him to continue. He noticed my silence and walked a few steps towards me. "Let's start with the beginning... Do you know how people came to be?"

I blinked and laughed mentally, hoping that he wouldn't see through my serious expression. I mean, duh, male plus female..."What do you mean came to be?"

"Where hearts began... I'm guessing you don't by your question. All hearts begin in darkness."

I raised an eyebrow. Darkness? He was talking about strange things...

"While the heart is in the darkness, it eventually gains it's light and emerges into the real world. All hearts have gained their lights. All except one, who is supposed to be the Heir to the Darkness. Their heart never gained it's light, but left the darkness regardless."

I blinked while watching him. Is he trying to get to something, because it wasn't really making any sense.

"The Heir to the Darkness is supposed to be able to bring darkness to all hearts once again, which would ultimately turn everyone into a heartless, also being able to control them. The Heir is destined to help the darkness overcome the light when the Keyblade master appears. No one has ever seen the Heir before, until now..."

I blinked as the man watched me curiously. Okay, I was getting really scared, yet something seemed so...

"...And who is this Heir to the Darkness?"

The man grinned and looked at his desk. "You should know the answer... why Axel had brought you to our organization isn't adding up at all?"

I thought about his words for a moment. Wait a minute... Why did Axel bring me here? I mean, when he and that red guy saw my spear thingy, the guy said I'm not sup-... Oh... Impossible!

I looked into the man's eyes with a somewhat hysterical smile. "You're kidding me, right? You expect me to believe that I'm this 'Heir' or whatever you're talking about? You must be daft... I'm just a normal person who doesn't know what the heck is going on!"

I felt someone hit me in the back of the head and emitted a small yell. I glared at Axel, who was still holding an emotionless stare.

"Watch your tongue..."

The man in front of me continued to speak. "Don't you see? Axel told me that you were able to summon the Dark Vein."

I raised an eyebrow while touching the spot where Axel hit me gingerly. "The Dark Vein...? What's that?"

"It's the spear that the Heir to Darkness is supposed to possess." I blinked and held my hand out.

"...This?" I felt the cool tendrils crawl down my hand and form the spear. Grasping my hand into a fist, the shadows disappeared to show the spear I had discovered earlier. The man in front of me seemed to be thinking when he held out his hand. Without hesitation, I handed the spear over to him. Running his fingers over the gem on the blade, a small smile crept onto his lips.

"You will be useful... Axel, take her to a spare room on the third floor. Yuki, I expect to see you tomorrow when I have someone come summon you to our meeting chamber."

I blinked and nodded dully as he handed my spear back to me. Too much information for my brain to comprehend... I mean, this Heir business... I shook my head as Axel led me out of the room, the door shutting hard on my way out. Sighing, I turned towards Axel with a placid look on my face. He blinked and tilted his head innocently. Like that's possible...

"Hmm? What is it?"

"Well, for one, why did you have to go and hit me in the back of my head?! It hurts like hell..."

Axel blinked and shrugged while turning around. "So? Be happy I was the one who hit you..."

I crossed my arms and purposefully walked slowly so that Axel would get annoyed. "Two, why were you so uptight when you were in that guy's room? I mean, sure, he looks creepy, but still..."

Axel poked the side of my head, my eye twitching in annoyance. "If you want to survive in front of him, call him Xemnas. That's his name. He may seem a little harmless now, but he's a juggernaut when it comes to destroying your opponent. I wouldn't get caught up in a fight against him if I were you. But then again, he won't try to kill you just yet..."

I blinked as I felt a knot forming in the pit of my stomach. "He's going to kill me...?"

Axel looked at me and laughed strangely. "No, only if you don't watch yourself..."

I looked at Axel inquisitively as he just stared forward. His laugh earlier... it seemed so forced, like he didn't have the ability to laugh or something. Maybe there's more to these people than they let on... Axel seemed to notice me staring at him because he flashed a humorous grin towards me. "What? That attractive?"

I stuck out my tongue at Axel while crossing my arms. "Trust me, there's not much to look at..."

"I'm hurt..."

"Tch, yeah right..."

We started to walk in silence after this. It wasn't that awkward silence, but more of an 'I-don't-feel-like-talking' kind of silence. Once again, I found myself staring down a flight of stairs... Fun, ne? As Axel started to walk down the stairs, I stared after him, waiting for him to notice my absence. He didn't seem to notice, so I started to turn around, but found a rather large... white thing. The thing seemed to be a larger, similar version to the white things Roxas was fighting earlier that day. Backing up slowly, the thing started to fade into the ground.

"What the heck...?" I jumped out of the way as something sharp tried to stab me from below. The thing seemed to swim in the ground towards me. Only a bit creepy if you ask me. I started to run like the wind down the stairs, frantically looking for Axel.

"Axel! Where did you go?" Axel was nowhere in sight. Greaat... I turned around and saw that the thing was still following me. My heart was starting to pound as I summoned my spear. I didn't really expect to fight anything in my lifetime... as it came near me, I slashed at it with my spear. It seemed to dodge it just slightly, barely missing the menacing edge of the spear.

"Darn it... What is this thing?" I jumped back as it attacked me even more. I was getting nowhere with this, and more smaller white things came out of the ground. They seemed to have swords with them too. I was far outnumbered. Panicking, I shielded my front with my arms and shut my eyes tightly. Please, anyone... Help me! God, I really, really don't wanna die here... I just don't want to die period! A small pulsation was felt through my mind, as something seemed to invade my thoughts. /...Help... Called for... Us?/ I didn't know how to respond. This voice just came out of nowhere. Hesitatingly, I sent a positive feeling towards the pulsation, hoping for a response. /... As you wish.../

I opened my eyes when I felt nothing piercing my flesh, or any sort of pain for that matter. My eyes widened as I saw a large... black and purple thing in front of me. It seemed to have the body of half dog half human, while it held a shield in front of it. Turning towards me, the thing looked into my eyes. /... My Liege.../ I blinked and nodded dully, watching a few more of the things fighting the white things. Now that I could see the front of the other ones, I saw that the shield had a dog's head on the front. I gulped slightly and smiled weakly towards the thing protecting me. "T-thank you..."

I jumped as I felt someone clasp his or her hand on my shoulder rather hard. Turning, I saw Axel standing there with a bored look on his face. "I take it you caused this...?"

The thing protecting me growled menacingly, the shield also starting to growl. Axel held up his hands and backed up a step. "Whoa, don't worry, I'm not an enemy here..."

The thing looked at me after Axel spoke. /...Should... Destroy him?/ I blinked and shook my head vigorously. "No! No, h-he's a friend... I guess. Axel, call off those... things, and my protectors will go away... for lack of a better word..."

Axel nodded and held out his hand. The white things then disappeared, leaving Axel, the black and purple things, and me. I nodded to the things and they disappeared into the shadows. I shook my head as the walls began to spin. Axel looked at me with a strange look. "Whoa, are you okay?"

"Dizzy..." I then started to black out, feeling myself fall onto my knees before losing all consciousness.

--

I felt a familiar darkness around me, but I couldn't quite place it. Walking forward, I dully noted the hollow sound resonating off of the floors and echoing into the darkness. Thinking about nothing in particular, I came upon a large area of light. Shielding my eyes, I backed up a few steps as I noticed a figure walking into the light. I blinked a few tears out of my eyes and walked forward to get a better look. My eyes widened as I noticed who it was.

"Roxas?!" Roxas turned towards me, but faded into someone else. Someone who had dark brown hair, but had the same dark blue eyes. My heart thumped as the boy held the Keyblade that Roxas had when I last saw him. I shook my head and felt the same intent to attack. The Keyblade... My head pounded as pain erupted through my body. The last thing I saw was the boy, who seemed to be glowing slightly from the bright floor beneath him.

--

Opening my eyes, I found myself in sitting position against the wall. Axel was a few feet away talking with another person in a black coat. My head was pounding as I stared at the white walls. Everything must have white in it somewhere... The guy in the black coat disappeared into a portal and Axel faced me. Offering me a hand, he pulled me up as my head started to relieve itself of the pounding sensation. He looked at me rather puzzled as I dusted off whatever dirt might have collected on my pants. Blinking, I crossed my arms in front of me.

"What? Something on your mind?"

"Those heartless... I didn't expect you to know how to call upon them. Especially since they were rather strong ones."

I shrugged and turned around, looking around the hall for any trace of the fight between the heartless and the other things.

"I didn't know how... They just sort of... talked to me, I guess. They came when they knew I was in trouble. Is that supposed to happen?"

Axel shrugged and started walking down the hallway, placing his hand behind his head. "I dunno. Anyways, I gotta show you your room and whatnot or the boss-man will get angry. Tch, man that guy really bugs me..."

I tilted my head towards Axel as I caught up to him, matching his rather quick pace. "I thought that... The boss... wait a minute, I'm confused here."

Axel looked at me with an unreadable expression. "I may obey him, but it doesn't mean I respect him or anything. If it were up to me, I would have him be the first to go."

I blinked and faced the direction we were walking in once again. Man, Axel's an enigma if I've ever met one... Remembering what I saw while I blacked out, I decided that I should ask Axel if he knew anything about the Keyblade and it's master.

"Hey, Axel..."

Axel turned towards me as I stopped walking. Staring at my shadow on the ground, I tried to remember what the boy looked like in my dream.

"What exactly is the Keyblade?"

Axel looked rather surprised, or something like that, and sighed slightly. "Well... I guess you can say that it's supposed to be the key to all hearts, being able to open any kind of lock, and can get rid of darkness. Why?"

I watched my shadow twitch slightly, and for a moment, I thought I saw a pair of eyes. Shaking my head, I shrugged and continued walking. "Well, Roxas had a Keyblade... and Xemnas told me that I'm supposed to be the darkness... So, this whole destiny of mine, am I supposed to kill Roxas? Or... Is he supposed to kill me?"

Axel said nothing, but placed a hand on my shoulder. "We'll find out, won't we? For now though, you're alive, and you have to work on your abilities. Where did this whole idea come from anyway?"

"Well, when I blacked out, I had a dream... thing. I saw Roxas, but he turned into some other boy who had the Keyblade. So, I was just curious... Do you have any idea who that person might have been?"

Axel was silent again, but this time, he didn't say anything. I looked at his face, and he seemed kind of... out of it. Shrugging, I decided to get off the somewhat dark topic... I mean... whatever. I gave Axel a grin and started to push him down the hallway, seeing as he sort of just stopped walking.

"Ne, aren't you supposed to show me to my room? C'mon, you slug. I don't think we have all day to get there."

Axel blinked as I somewhat happily pushed him down the hallway. I mean, how happy can I get, knowing I'm in some strange place with a bunch of cult-ish people who think I'm this 'heir'? Axel smiled somewhat and started to walk on his own.

"Yeah, yeah. Just come on, it's not that far from here."

--

We arrived at my room a few minutes later. It was rather small, but I didn't mind. I mean, what did I expect, a suite? Watching the white walls around me, I absently spaced out as my shadow started to twitch again. I caught the flicker of movement in the corner of my eye and jumped from surprise. I mean, how often does your shadow move on it's own? Out of my shadow cam a rather small... creature. It was all black and had yellow eyes; it's antennae twitching about as it observed the room. It then looked at me as it tilted its head to the side. /...Liege... all right? Seem... depressed./ I nodded slightly, the black thing approaching me slowly, as if being very careful.

"I-i'm fine... Um... why are you here?"

The black thing stopped about a foot in front of me as its eyes scanned the walls. /Watching the suspicious one... seems like... other nobodies. I don't feel... heartbeat from him. Hearts... beckon us./

I blinked and tilted my head to the side, keeping sure to not make a big fuss so that other people would be able to hear us. "A nobody? What are those?"

/Nobody... white things. Other half... of heartless. Nobodies body... Heartless souls... Together, make human. Liege human, red man... nobody./

I blinked in surprise by this information. Axel was a nobody? I couldn't believe that he was like one of those white things. Surely he was human. But then again, it could explain why his emotions seemed so forced... I would have to test this heartless' theory when I got a chance. I looked around the room when I didn't hear anything else from the heartless, but found that I was alone. It had left me... I mean, I couldn't really blame it. I was a rather boring person to be around, and the white walls... Blinding to say the least. Sighing, I lay down on my bed and stared at the ceiling. I would have to get a lot of paint someday...

Okay, it's finished... Thank you everyone for reading this story! I have two pictures of Yuki up in my profile if you want to see what she should look like. It's not all that great, mind you, and that was before I really tried to plan how she should look. Well... Anywhose, please review!
