Me: I changed a lot here.. But it's basically the same.
Roxas: And I'm here to Disclaim!
Me: -controlling fangirl part of me-
Roxas: O_o;; Anyway, Eve doesn't own Kingdom Hearts or the characters.. Otherwise I would've been alive and Sora would've been the one to die!
Me: Don't tell them THAT! And also, I own Kizu :D!
From then on, Xemnas kept me close by his side, showing me Organization XIII. He explained to me that the Organization was a group of nobodies with strong wills and when I asked why I was allowed in, he simply responded, "Do you feel like you have a heart?"
He made me realize that I didn't want to "feel" anymore. Everything had become numb. My heart had no determination to "feel." I don't want to "feel." Emotions just hurt me, so I boxed them up and locked it with a Key.
Xemnas said that I would be known as Number N, or zero. He told the other members to "treat my words as if they were his: law," and that's exactly what they did. I worked as the co-leader but usually, I almost never left my room and I barely spoke to any other members. I met them all, but didn't speak to them. Xemnas wanted me to research on Kingdom Hearts so that's what I did. Plus, what's the point in leaving?
Months after joining the Organization, I met Xemnas in the Conference room. He had made a seat for me, to the right of him, between him and II, Xigbar. It was placed forward, into the circle just slightly so it would fit, and it symbolized that I was involved and inside the Organization. Today, the only ones there were him and me.
"I heard about the Keyblade wielders," I proclaimed with my right elbow on the arm rest and using that hand to support my head, "Xion and Roxas was it?"
"Ahh yes, the two young hopefuls," Xemnas responded, leaning inward slightly with both elbows on the chair's rests and hands interlocked, holding up his head, "They both have powerful and essential weapons but they are quite the handful actually. I always have to send Axel with them so it cuts down efficiency."
"Why send them together then?" I asked monotone.
"They simply insist."
"Why would they keep 'insisting?'"I disapproved, "They're doing work for the Organization, not making friends."
Xemnas chuckled and replied, "I find it interesting though. It takes all three to complete even the simplest of missions. Furthermore, those three are always the last ones to return."
"Shall I investigate? I'm bored anyway," I offered.
"Do as you please. They're currently defeating a Destroyer and Heat Saber in Twilight Town."
I nodded and then disappeared, making black strands appear after me.
"Friends…"
In Twilight Town, I roamed around, looking at my surroundings. There was a steeply sloped road that was a gentle bronze color. As I looked around, I spotted three kids talking about summer homework. Two of them were boys and one was a girl.
"Axel.. Xion… and Roxas?"
The taller boy was thin, had dirty blond hair, and brown eyes. He wore a short, light green vest over a black, sleeveless shirt and baggy camo pants. The other boy, who was shorter and chubbier, had spiked up black hair held up with a black and white headband, brown eyes, an oversized red, white, and black shirt that said "DogStreet" on it, and saggy jeans. And the girl was a bit taller than the chubby guy and had brown hair with green eyes. She wore an orange and sleeveless Hawaiian shirt with white flowers on it and yellow Capri pants. They were all running around, talking, laughing, and having.. fun.
"They don't have the coat and they seem to be really close… I miss having friends.." I thought, and then quickly shook my head, "No Kizu. Snap out of it..!"
Afterward, I walked into 'Sandlot,' which was a large flat district with tan walls surrounding it. Various posters were placed on the walls and some green shrubs were planted at the edges of the square area, behind several benches. A blue eyed girl, who had short, black hair and an Organization coat, walked by, right in front of me, and was around the same height as me.
"Come on Roxas! Axel! If you don't hurry up, we won't have time for ice cream," the girl said loudly to two other kids around my age, who were running toward her.
"Ice cream? Why would they be eating ice cream when they have a mission?"
The boy that had blond hair spiked to his left and was around about an inch taller than me ran toward her. Also having an Organization coat and blue eyes, he replied, "Hey Xion! You should slow down. You just got better from 20 days of being unconscious."
The girl smiled slightly as the taller boy, who had red hair spiked backward and an Organization coat on, chuckled, "You should listen to Roxas. We still have that Destroyer to finish off."
"So the Heat Saber was taken care of?" I thought as they continued discussing Xion's health while walking toward the clock tower.
I lurked behind several buildings, secretly following them in the distance. They continued laughing and fooling around.
"How can they have.. fun? They don't have hearts. They can't have feelings…" I thought to myself in disbelief.
As they walked into a large area in front of the train station and clock tower, Xion suddenly collapsed. I hid behind another building as I heard Roxas yell out in distraught, "Xion!"
I peeked out to see her just lay there on the ground, unresponsive, until the guy with red hair, who seemed to be Axel, lifted her up slightly by the back. Then, a large red can like thing appeared with a yellow cap and pointed end and a red and black Heartless insignia on the middle of the red area. A gear was spinning at the end of the bottom point as it quickly moved left and right and it also had two, blue diamond shaped "arms" at the right and left side. Between the yellow cap and red body armor was an opening that showed darkness and glowing black eyes.
"I got Xion. You take care of the target!" Axel yelled out to Roxas.
"Okay!" he replied, summoning a large key that had a yellow handle and grey stem and teeth.
"The.. Keyblade?"
Roxas hastily jumped into the air and started swinging his massive key at the Heartless. With each blow, it slowed down just slightly. When it shot out two large beams of white, he either rolled out of the way or blocked it with his Keyblade. Even when the heartless turned in a 180 with the two beams coming out of its "arms," he would still be able to roll or jump away. To help him fight, he also cast a few magic spells which put the enemy on fire, froze it, paralyzed it, or healed him. Even after a few hits from the Heartless, Roxas still stayed strong and fought back. No more than a few minutes later, he dealt the final blow and a pink, crystallized heart flew out into the sky.
"Sora.." Xion whispered, still unconscious.
"Sora?" I thought as I saw Roxas run toward her and yell out her name again.
"It's okay. She's not hurt," Axel said, still holding her.
"But Axel-!"
"Let's just Return To the Castle, all right?" he cut in.
Axel then stood up, picking up Xion with him, as Roxas created a black portal which I knew as the Corridor of Darkness. I watched them leave and decided that it was about time to leave myself. Creating and walking through my own black portal, I walked into The Grey Area. Two sets of grey couches facing glass coffee tables were at my right and left side as I walked in. No one was there and I just walked to the tall, glass windows that displayed a heart shaped moon to the top right. I stood there, staring at the incomplete Kingdom Hearts for a few quiet moments.
"Axel, Xion, and Roxas.. What's with those three?"
"Why were you following us before?" I heard from behind me, snapping me out of my thoughts and making me nearly jump. I quickly turned around and saw Axel standing there with both arms crosses in front of his chest and looking at me with what seemed to be a glare, but not quite.
"Why are you assuming things?" I shot back at him.
"I saw you following Roxas, Xion, and me," he stated, looking down on me with at least half a foot difference, "What did you want?"
"Nothing," I replied as I started walking toward the bedrooms' hallway.
Axel unexpectedly placed a firm hand on my shoulder before I got too far, "Why were you following us?"
"That is my business," I responded, turning only my head back at him.
"Tell me," he insisted.
"Why would a Nobody go through this much trouble..?" I asked to myself and I took a deep breathe, "I wanted to see the two Keyblade masters. I did not have a chance to greet them so I thought that it would be nice if I were to be able to."
"Well you better not harm them, Got that memorized?"
I shrugged his shoulder off and then continued walking toward my room, "You shouldn't be making threats VIII. Even though I joined later than you, I am still a higher ranking."
I felt him nearly glare at me from behind but tactfully ignored it. Opening the door and walking into my own room, I took out the journal that was placed beneath my pillow and started writing.
Entry 15: The Three Members
I know I might not write in this forsaken journal everyday, but today, something actually happened. I witnessed two Keyblade wielders, one was a girl and the other was a boy. They both looked teenaged, so their counterparts must have been teenagers when they were turned into heartless. Oddly enough, their blue eyes were similar. I have a feeling that one of them doesn't belong. Heh.. feelings again. My "feelings" are never wrong, so maybe something is out of place. I'll look into it later on, after I've finished my work.
I can't believe I've changed so much though. I've gotten cold and cruel… What happened to the old me?
