Trapped in the castle that never was

"Heeey, who's there? You sound familiar. Sora? That you? It me or did your voice get deeper,buddy? Its me! Yuffie!"Yuffie said. Velexira watched, alittle confused. Sora?! Sora the keyblade master?! Oh Xemmy is not going to like thiis.....

 

Just when he was about to head outside he heard a cheerful voice come from below. Groaning he knew that voice was Yuffie. "Great," he sighed as he made his way back downstairs. It was a good idea to make sure she was all right before he ventured on. Reaching the bottom, he heard voices in the other room, and peered around the corner to see people with black cloaks talking and eating something in the kitchen. Out of the corner of his eye, he spotted a man with silver hair that fell just past his shoulders. He didn't know who this guy was and he didn't want to find out, for his focus was finding Yuffie. At least he recgonized someone in this castle.

Demyx placed down his chicken bone knowing the others wouldn't answer his absurd questions, and threw it away in the trashcan. He ate some cheese crackers and took a swallow from his glass of water that he recently got. His nobody senses detected different presences and his eyes widned as a grin formed on his face. "I hear voices. I'm going to have some fun, not battle or fight, but have fun." He walked out of the kitchen, whistling outloud as he strolled down the hallway. "Hello?" His voice echoed across the vastness of the castle. "You do know that this castle is home of Organization XIII?" He spoke outloud, chuckling under his breath. "You know who Organization XIII is don't you? We're not going to hurt you so come out and stop being cowards." He was obviously lying for of course the other members would hurt them.

 

!? ...She knows Sora? ..and her name doesn't have an X in it .. Riku thought, slowly pulling away from the wall and peeking over the corner of the wall, spotting Yuffie and Velexira, the one who appeared to be trying to keep out of sight.Since when did the Organization pull random people from their worlds? Tactics were changing.

"Your close, 'Yuffie' ..I'm his friend, Riku.How did you get in here?" he questioned casually, wanting to know if they had got in here the same way he and the others did.

Hearing someone in the distance, Riku looked over his shoulder and dismissed it.Probably just a nuisance like Zexion ..no worries for him.

 

Velexira noticed Demyx. "Dem-Dem! OMG finnaly! I've been lookign for another member for aaaaages!"She whined.

"Riku! OMG I've heard about you from Sora! Wow, you look great!"Yuffie said.

 

"...Uh..thank you, you don't look too bad yourself but...can you answer my question now? How did you get in here?" Riku asked once more. He didn't want to be rude, but this was just a mystery he wanted to figure out. Was the Organization bringing everyone that ever stood against them?

 

"Heck if I know. But I'm here! Hey, are Sora and Kairi with you?"Yuffie asked, hopping up and down. Velexira rolled her eyes at Yuffies attitude.

 

....She's just too much like Sora was to talk with. No ones taking this seriously.. Riku thought, shutting his eyes and sighing. He let the keyblade fade from his hands and he balled it up, raising his thumb and bringing it over his shoulder. "Back there ..you can meet up with him if you want ..I'll be looking around." he said, opening his eyes again and bringing his arms tiredly at his sides, moving past Yuffie.

Pfft..looking around for intelligent forms of life that is ..this isn't fun and games like it was on the island..

 

Yeesh, who put a bee in his undies....Yuffie went to see Sora. Velexira sighed. "Don't ask about her. I found her and she's just a lost little puppy."Velexira sighed, watching Yuffie.

 

"Trust me, I'm not ..it's a miracle Sora hasn't lost his sanity ..but she can't be all bad, if she's his friend." Riku responded to Velexira as he passed her as well, making it a point to only stick with someone calm and collected for now. He didn't need anyone making unnecessary noise in the turf of the Organization. They were always listening.

 

"whoa jeesus don't do that!"Velexira nearly fell over. She tried to catch her breath. "Okay Riku... don't mess with me, bucko. I have mad ninjer skills!"Velexira did a few kung-fu poses.

 

Coming to a stop, Riku looked over his shoulder and spotted the girl doing some strange poses. Odd ..but humorous to say the least. " You wouldn't ..happen to be from the Land of Dragons, would you?" he questioned, as that was the only place he thought those moves would originate.

 

"Where? Oooh, there. Nope! Velexira, at your service."Velexira did a small curtsey. "So, where are you from...Ri-kuuuu."Velexira said in a teasing tone, giggling a bit.

 

The sharp shooter watched Demyx scamper away as he smirked as if almost bothered with his disappearance. It was just like Demyx to rant about one thing and then do another. He was bored now, but he still had the silent one to tend with which was of course Zexion who was so quiet that hardly anyone would be able to notice him or not. Either way he decided to strike an conversation with him. "Like I couldn't figure that one out for myself. Yeah I know about the traitors, Marluxia, and Larxene. Damn them for trying to overthrow the organizaiton and using Axel as their pawn," he shook his head. "It is an good thing that he didn't fall for their scheme though," he chuckled darkly.

Zexion rose his eye brow slightly as if almost amused with the talks of how faithful the Flurry of Dancing Flames was. "I wouldnt' say that about him. He was the one who had me killed, by using Vexen's science experiment on me. Just so he was the only one who would return," the cloaked schemer crossed his arms his nose was picking up more scents of others especially Riku, but for the time being he decided to ignore it.


Xigbar had his own thoughts as in his mind Axel was loyal to the organization in a way. There were other stunts he pulled, but he figured the rebel was innocent since the choice was hardly to anything as bad as what the others had pulled. Surival may have been the only way, but who was the senior member to judge. It wouldn't be likely that the flurry would turn his back on them as an complete betrayal. "Have you thought that maybe you deserved it? Hell, I would of killed you if you tried to boss me around. I am sure he had his own reasons, but either way he did his job, and located the traitors, so that makes me happy. Although, it sucks that I can't kill anyone," He folded his arms ,gnoring the disturbed look from the younger member. The older senior was halfway annoyed with other voices he was hearing.

 

At first, Riku just stared at her as if there was nothing wrong. But then, he narrowed his eyes at her. Someone so young.. in the Organization? He'd like to say they'd never take her, but then again, Roxas was around the age she was. "...Say that name..one more time." he requested, slowly turning around to face her completely.

 

"Velexira....You okay?"Velexira looked at Riku, alittle confused. Okay, why is he so interested? This guys kinda odd.... But the name Riku... it rings a bell somehow.... She was alittle curious now.

 

"....No..I'm not...your with the Organization, aren't you?" Riku questioned, Way to the Dawn appearing in his right hand once more. He formed his stance once more, only preparing to defend himself once she knew of his purpose here. "Do you even know what they plan to do?"

 

"Hey, Hey, hey! Watch the....what is that anyway? Some sort of weird sword?"Velexira was relatively new. She knew her way around the castle but she didn't know about the Keyblade or Kingdom Hearts just yet.

 

....Don't tell me... Riku thought about it carefully, but in the end he eased his stance, looking her directly in the eye. "It's a keyblade, a special weapon me and Sora have ..it frees hearts from the heartless, and it's especially effective against Nobodies. Now, do you have any idea what this group does? ..I'll tell you, they steal hearts from others so they can have their own. They end lives of people like me and you, just for their own selfish desires." he said this informatively, not wanting to be hostile. She wasn't so bad, but friendliness can be imitated.

 

Velexira tilted her head like a confused puppy. "Okay, I have no idea half of what you said...at all. Can you repeat some of it... I got the keyblade part and I gotta admit thats kinda coolio...but what?"She asked, curious.

 

"..Okay, from the top. The Organization take the hearts of people who have them, then the hearts go to Kingdom Hearts, and they try to complete it so that Kingdom Hearts can grant them hearts. Nobodies can't feel emotions, they only think they can ..haven't you ever seen that moon in the sky?" Riku questioned.
