HAPPY THANKSGIVING!

I'm surprised that I got this written out as fast as I did. I finished it last night and started writing chapter 3. I actually wrote this in between replaying Kingdom Hearts 1. I don't have cable in my room, so video games make me happy.

Disclaimer: Cori doesn't own any Kingdom Hearts characters. They belong to Squeenix. She just cosplays them and attempts to keep Zexion locked in her room....

Chapter 2

Pale blue eyes opened to a white ceiling darkened by the lack of light in the large room.

As the figure sat up, a jolt of pain from her left side forced her to collapse back onto the soft 'couch?' beneath her. She gasped and then moaned at the intensity of the strange pain.

'Where…am…I? What…happened to me?' The questions raced through her confused head.

"I would suggest staying still until I can figure out what to do with you."

Opening her eyes, the new arrival carefully turned her head towards the voice.

Sitting stoically in a large chair across from where she was placed was a boy, about '16?' with beautiful silver tinted blue hair. His stunning purple eyes were focused on a large book set in his lap. He was flipping through it, barely glancing at the multitude of words on each page.

"Wh-what?"

"You are too weak for sudden movements." He flipped over the last page of the book, closed it, and set it to the side. "Do you remember anything. Anything pertaining to how you got here, that is." He looked into her eyes, causing her to shudder and look back up at the ceiling.

"I remember…green eyes. They were holding me in place. There was a pull…then the pain. And then darkness."

"Hmmm…."

She heard the movement of cloth, and saw through the corner of her eye, the mysterious boy stand and walk towards a stack of books.

"Any specific shade of green?"

"Wha? No." Who was he, why was he asking her these things?

"Can you do me a favor and try to focus on the memory?" His request confused her more.

"Um…I can try…"

Her eyes closed again and she attempted to concentrate on the fuzzy image of the one who hurt her so.

"Do you see anything?"

She shook her head. "I just…hear voices."

A woman's voice was shouting. "Take her heart! Let the Darkness take over! Do it now Ri-!" Static took the place of the person's name.

"Wait! What about her? Won't it hurt?" A boy's shaky voice replied.

Her own pleading voice came next. "P..please…" She was crying, and panting? She barely remembered a battle before. Strange creatures scratching at her. "Don't do this…please."

"IGNORE HER! She is NOTHING to you!" The woman shouted.

The image of his eyes bore into her soul. "I'm sorry." His voice was sympathetic.

The pain shot through her again as his weapon stabbed into her.

"NO!" The girl screamed, she was shaking, a hand clutched her chest and tears streamed from her eyes as she relived the experience of dying.

Zexion pulled a potion out of his jacket pocket and rushed to her side.

"Drink this, it may help." He helped lift her head to let her consume the potion.

It did help, and her rushed breathing calmed.

"Th…thanks."

"No problem…so Ri?"

She realized that she had probably been saying the words of her murderers and her own in the memory.

"I don't… my mind was hooked on thinking of ways to escape. His eyes were the last thing I saw. They bore into my own the entire time. He looked to pained at what he was doing."

Zexion settled in his place on the floor next to her. "I'll give you time to remember. But until I can figure anything else out, what's your name?"

A look of pained confusion came over her face. "I don't know…I remember…and A…and an I…" She wanted to cry. Why couldn't she remember anything? Her name should be the one thing that she could have carried on with her.

He seemed to be calculating in his head as she looked back at him. He looked up. "What about Xai…for now?"

"Xai?" She was puzzled. He seemed almost as if he was naming a pet.

"Well, each of us here have an X in our names. Our current names are anagrams of our other's names, and then an X added in. There would be less questions if we just called you Xai."

He seemed to be good at having to explain things to people.

"I guess…that could work…"

"Well then, Xai, my name is Zexion. Number VI in Organization XIII."

She was beginning to get used to feeling confused. "Organization…?"

He realized that he had a lot to tell. So he began.

Demyx sighed, bored, and looked around the large meeting room. Marluxia was picking at his fingernails. Axel was bouncing fireballs off of Larxene's chair, who in turn, was playing darts with one of the spikes at the top of Axel's head. The Melodious Nocturne's eyes then landed on the empty chair of number VI.

"And on a final note, and this is a message to ALL of you…" the Superior began. All of the members looked over to their leader.

"Number VI is currently doing research on a discovery numbers II and V made. It is a female with only half of a heart."

The Nobodies seemed interested now.

"None of you are to go near her. Especially you, IV." At this, Vexen sunk into his chair.

"If I have discovered that any of you have been around her without permission from VI, you will have to answer to me. Adjourned!"

Demyx pouted. A new girl…maybe she was nice. He'd have a new friend! The water wielder began plotting.

Well, this one was much longer! Enjoy your turkey everyone! (Or whatever you love to eat on Thanksgiving!)

I can haz Reviews?

~Love,

Cori!
