And here's some proof of existence from me. Ten hits on my first chapter (let's hope that wasn't me ) Reviews please.
I don't own Kingdom Hearts, though I do own Zyrix.
Oh, recap. Zyrix has been taken from her hometown of Twilight Town by Roxas and his Nobodies, taking her through a portal leading to…. Somewhere ;
The portal led into a white room, stocked with a bed, nightstand, closet, mirror, and a very contrasting portal. Zyrix shielded her eyes, not used to so much brightness in one place.
She was pushed into the room as her captor closed the portal behind them.
"Uhh… White," Zyrix said. "It could've been a bit more imaginative."
The blue-eyed boy rolled his eyes. "I guess. This is the Castle that Never Was, and this is your new room. Your stuff's been moved here, and dinner's at 7:00. So… Yeah."
Zyrix turned around, examining her surroundings, and confirming that her clock read 6:30. "Right… Who are you again?" she asked.
"Me?"
"No, the clock!" she said, her voice brimming with sarcasm.
"Oh. I'm Roxas. Number XIII of Organization XIII."
"And I'm supposed to be a member of this Organization thingy?"
"Well, don't you catch up fast?" Roxas chuckled. "Yeah, you are. You were chosen to replace one of our five lost members."
"What happened to them?"
"Uhh, they faded into darkness. But anyways, I'm off. I'll see you at dinner."
Roxas left the room, his Organization coat barely scratching the floor. "Let's hope that's not soon…" she muttered, shuddering at the thought of having dinner with the same guy that kidnapped her. She looked around once more, recognizing her collection of stones, her books and her knotted grass chain. The one thing she didn't see, though, was her clothes. She looked in the closet, and saw nine coats, nine pants, and nine shirts, all black, and some black shoes. "This feels like a cartoon," she muttered, noticing the resemblance between this scenario and some cartoons, where characters' closets are stocked with ten identical outfits.

"Roxas, you idiot!!" yelled a red-head guy, with green eyes. "Xemnas sends you to recruit a Nobody, a girl, your age, and as you just said, beautiful, and you get on her bad side by Nobody-napping her!! Where are your manners?!"
"Jeez, Axel," Roxas said, regretting ever telling him the story of Zyrix's recruitment. He flinched every time Axel did a violent gesture with his hands, thinking the pyro would scorch him and serve him for dinner. That is, if the other members didn't mind a well done Roxas a la flambé. "Xemnas said—"
"'Xemnas said' my butt!" Axel yelled, glaring at him. "You could've been gentler!"
"I can't believe I'm hearing this. Axel, you're getting worked up because I'm being rude! I'll just... go apologize." Roxas said, edging towards the door.
"You do that. If you don't stop treating her like Creeper crap, I might have to step in," Axel said hopefully.
"Don't… you… dare!" seethed Roxas, closing the door behind him.

Seven o'clock came slowly for both Roxas and Zyrix.
Zyrix begrudgingly slipped on one of the many choices of black Organization cloaks, later deciding to fix her onyx-black hair. Her reflection gazed curiously back at her from the mirror.
Meanwhile, Roxas flushed furiously as he slipped on his Organization cloak, while Axel watched him drop his shoes about three times.
"Nervous?" Axel asked, grinning at the sight of his flustered friend.
Roxas simply glared.
"Hey, we've got bigger things to worry about."
"Like what?" Roxas asked, his glare softening to a look of worry.

Zyrix was amazed at how easily she found the dining quarters. Natural sense of direction, I guess, she thought, as she looked around to the seat with her room's number. "Number XII." Uh-oh, she looked at the chair next to her. Didn't Roxas say he was number XIII? She sank into her chair, cursing the day she had been chosen to replace whoever was number XII before her.

Roxas stared at Axel for a long time, hoping that the next answer would bring him some relief, or that the next answer wouldn't be something unbearable.
"Brace yourself, Roxas," Axel instructed.
"Wait, you're not about to say—" Roxas gasped, clutching the edge of his drawer.
"Oh yes," Axel winced.
"No, not today, not now, please no!!" Roxas cried, almost begging Axel for a miracle to prevent the epic disaster waiting to be said.
"Oh yes," Axel took a deep breath and said. "Xemnas is doing the cooking!"
"NOOOO!!!" Roxas yelled, running out of the room crying, "Everybody run for your lives!"
Axel laughed as he chased after his friend towards the kitchen. They reached it in no time, but suddenly wished they hadn't gone there.
"I think I should've stayed in the room…" Roxas whispered, looking suddenly green.
Standing in the kitchen, singing was Xemnas. The song he was singing was no more understandable than a foreign language, but it had a painful amount of screeching in it. Apart from that, he was wearing a pink apron… and nothing underneath. He was standing in front of the stove, holding a frying pan over the fire, which had something cooking in it… that had tentacles.
"OH MY KINGDOM HEARTS, MAN, PUT SOME CLOTHES ON!!" screamed Axel, while Roxas located the trash can and retched in it.
Xemnas froze. "Uhh… I didn't have anything else to wear," he said sheepishly. Roxas was finally able to separate his face from the trash can long enough to say, "Please, spare us from your demonic cooking," before barfing again.
Axel ran outside of the kitchen, dragging a green-faced Roxas into the dining room.

All of Zyrix's hopes that Roxas wouldn't show up came crashing down when she saw him and Axel running into the room, both green-faced and tired. Her light green eyes locked on Roxas' blue ones, looking at him fearfully.
Axel broke the tension by asking, "Uhh, who are you?"
Zyrix's eyes now traveled over to Axel. "I'm- I'm Zyrix," she stuttered.
"I'm Axel," he replied, deciding to skip the "got it memorized" part. "Oh, you're the new one, right?"
"Yeah… Well, unless someone else got abducted."
"No, not yet, but whatever you do, stay out of the kitchen until Xemnas comes out."
"Why?"
"You don't wanna know," was all Roxas could say, cursing himself for not using the portal to his room instead of coming here.
Embarrassing for Xemnas and Roxas, huh? Don't worry; every single character will have their humiliating moments. Some as disturbing, some worse, and some less disturbing. MUAHAHAHAHA!!! –cough- -regains sanity-
