Next chapter!

Zexion: If there's any more crap about Demyx and I, then I'll kill you.

mm: In your dreams, Chibi emo. Besides, if you killed me then who would write this, 'Sketches of the Past' and 'XIII to XXVI'?

Zexion: No one, hopefully. You torture me too much as it is, and if I kill you it'll prevent anymore abuse.

mm: It may be abuse, but it's with good intentions! :D

Zexion: Right…

Demyx: mizzmanga doesn't own Kingdom Hearts or Organization XIII. She only owns copies of the first three games and 358/2 Days :3

mm: Yup. I'll tell you know, that game is absolutely amazing apart from the boss on Day 171--

Zexion: I think you should start the story now.

mm: Oh yeah! Almost forgot about it then! :D

Zexion: Baka…

-XIII-

Xemnas opened another portal once inside the castle. Why he didn't just open a single one from that clearing I'll never know.

This castle is rather… odd. From what I've seen, the whole thing is white and grey. I'm hoping that it's not a mental asylum…

We eventually ended up going down a high-ceilinged corridor with large double doors at the end. Xemnas led me there, where he told me to go in when I noticed a crack in the door. With that, he opened a portal and disappeared. One question lingered in my mind; if he was going into the next room, why didn't he go through the door?

I then noticed the large amount of noise leaking through the crack under the door, and it shocked me that I hadn't noticed it before. From what I could pick up, there were three main voices talking; the first belonged to Xemnas, the second was clear and mysterious and the third was loud, cocky and quite a pleasant voice.

The door opened slightly, making me realise I had to go in. I opened the door a little wider, and stepped through.

This room, not unlike the rest, was white. It was seemingly never ending, and was lined with thirteen white chairs, each at a different height. All but one of the seats were occupied by people in the same hooded trench coat, and from what I could tell, all eyes were on me. Damn.

"This is our newest member." Xemnas booming voice came from opposite me. With a slight movement of his head, I noticed he wanted me to move into the middle of the room. I did so quickly.

"Number XIII, Roxas. The Keyblade's chosen one."

"The what?" I asked. I couldn't hold in the questions that were building up in my head. Who was I? Where was I? What was I?

"The Keyblade." Xemnas said, looking at me blankly.

"And that is?"

A collective gasp ran throughout the room.

"How can he be its wielder if he doesn't even know what it is?" Came a deep voice.

"Yeah! Plus, he smells like flesh! I think we should throw him where he belongs; the sewers!" Called a female.

"Ooh yes, what a good idea. I mean, look at that hair, all tangled and spiky. Appalling! How could you allow someone with such awful taste into our Organization?" The same deep voice agreed.

I shuddered. The people here didn't seem all that nice. I hoped that this wouldn't last very long.

"Hey, hey! Come off it. The kid's just been created!" Wait! That was the voice that I'd listened to through the door! I looked up to where it came from and saw a few strands of fiery hair sticking out from under the hood of the figure. Two emerald eyes glittered from under the hood, looking at me with interest.

"Yeah! You two didn't know what the Keyblade was either when you'd just been created!" Called a lighter bubbly voice. I looked towards this voice too, seeing this figure had lowered his hood in the past five minutes. He had a dirty blonde mullet, which stuck up like a Mohawk, and his eyes were a soothing blue. Seeing me looking at him, he waved down at me cheerfully.

Then he said to me, "Welcome to the crew!"

I couldn't help but smile back at him, and offer a thank you.

"What do you two know?! You're probably the youngest in this Organization next to emo-boy!" called the female, who had now removed her hood, revealing blonde hair that stuck up like antennae, and shocking blue eyes.

"Hey! That was uncalled for!" Cried the shortest, whose silvery-blue bangs were slightly visible from his underneath his hood.

"SILENCE!"

All eyes fell on a man seated to my right, who was clearly another of the people who had been speaking before I came in. He had electric blue hair that fell neatly in place, and startling amber eyes. A large 'X' shaped scar ran over the centre of his face.

"Would you all calm down?! Roxas is our newest member and there is absolutely nothing you neophytes can do about it!"

"Here here." called the hooded red-head.

"Shut up, Axel." came the deep voice.

"Make me."

"With pleasure."

Suddenly, vines shot from the deep voiced man's hand, directed at the red-head. The emerald-eyed yawned, waving a hand. The vines erupted into flames before my eyes, singeing to a crisp. My eyes became wide. Just what were these people?!

"Roxas. No doubt you have questions." Xemnas said, looking down at me.

"Yeah."

"Then, ask away."

"Erm…" I said, lost in thought. Being put on the spot wasn't exactly my forte.

"What's a Keyblade?"

"Oh boy… We could be here a long time…"

"Shut up, Larxene."

"Why should I?"

-VIII-

The meeting finished awhile ago now. I'm currently in the games room. Luxord, Xaldin, Larxene and Xigbar are playing a game of strip poker in the corner (Of course, Luxord is failing big time, again. Down to his boxers for the 5th time today), Vexen is doing some sort of research on the computer, and me, Zexion, Demyx and Marluxia are watching a horror film. I don't know why Dem even bothers trying to watch these things; he only ends up having nightmares.

My mind, however, isn't on the film, but rather the new kid. He's interesting. That sandy hair of his and those deep blue eyes… Almost like a little kid. He reminds me of how I was at that age, all innocent. Well, more like how Lea was.

I look to my left. Marluxia is staring at the screen in disinterest, and Zexion has fallen asleep on Demyx' shoulder. He doesn't seem to mind though. Then again, I don't think anyone would if their dream person fell asleep on their shoulder.

I look over to the strip poker game to see Luxord scowling; obviously just lost. I avert my eyes quickly before I see disgusting things.

Vexen is grinning like a mad man. I squint to see the computer screen and see…

…

Ewwww! Is that a picture of Marluxia naked I see?

"Eww. That's mentally scaring, Vexen."

Vexen turned around to look at me, shocked. Everyone else in the room looks at the old man and the screen.

"Wow... I didn't know you liked that sort of stuff Vexen!" Xigbar chuckled at the old man. Larxene's cracking up and Marluxia has turned into a human beetroot.

"Did you really take that photo, Marly? Cos if not, then Vexen has mad photoshop-ing skills."

Forget human beetroot, the flaming faggot is a human tomato. With pink hair. And mascara, blusher and foundation.

…

Okay, so he might not be wearing that much make-up, but y'know.

"Erm… H-hello?"

Why hello there Blondie.

All eyes have turned to our darling newbie. Aw, bless him. Now he resembles the pink kitten over there, all red and balloon like.

"How can we help you?" I ask, grinning at him.

"I was just… wondering if I could come in here…please?"

…

"BWAHAHAHAHA!!!"

"Now Larxene, that's just plain rude." Zexion called sleepily. It seems Princess Emo has decided to grace us with his consciousness.

"Okay kid, first rule around here. You don't need to ask to do anything. Or use any formalities for that matter. And do ignore Larxene. She's an irritating cow."

"Hey! Zexion! THAT'S out of order!"

"Well, sor-ry, Oh Powerful Queen of Manners and Etiquette."

I sigh. This could go on for a while unless someone intervenes soon.

"Look. Both of you shut up. Of course you can stay in here, Roxas. Our home is yours, quite literally. Come make yourself comfortable. Do ignore the naked Brit and the gay porn on the computer screen over there."

"Hey!"

"Mind your own business, VIII!"

Roxas looks utterly confused, but comes and plops between me and Zexion on the couch, getting comfy. He throws an arm over the back of the couch and puts his feet on the foot rest before him before turning to me.

"So, what are we watching?"

Now THAT is the correct attitude.

x----------------------x

And that, my friends, is the end of Chapter 2. What did you think? Leave reviews, as they are my friends and I enjoy them greatly.

Chapter 3'll be up soon.

x-End of Chapter Extras-x

Character Profile – Axel

Axel is Roxas' best friend and the one who said blonde will have to keep in line. Axel has settled into the Organization well, having found friends in Demyx and Zexion.

However, will the arrivals of Roxas and Xion calm him down or make his state even worse?

Preview –

"Hey, Demyx, what are you- hey, wait a second! Don't throw tha—!"

"Doesn't this feel so nostalgic?" "Do you even know what that means?"

"Hey, Marluxia, I…" "What?" "…Never mind..."

Until next time,
