I do not own Kingdom hearts or any of the characters used in this fanfiction.

Lerena is my own interpretation of Larxene's somebody.

"Get out and stay out!"

Lerenas eyes looked away from her landlord as her bags were thrown out of the front door. Due to some recent financial difficulties Lerena had failed to keep up with the monthly rent payments. The weather outside preceded to pour down upon the cold streets. The final sigh from Lerena was to be the last sound her ex-landlord were to ever hear from her. Lerena wandered endlessly around the town, looking around for somewhere to sleep. It was now a few minutes past midnight and Lerena was sitting underneath the old bridge by the river, a common place of hers as a child. Her mind began to think back;

..

"Dad…that girl just hit me by the river" murmured a tearful Lerena, kneeling in front of her father.

"Lerena wipe away those tears, you show weakness and people will walk over you, you must keep these feelings inside" sternly replied her father.

Lerena nodded, getting to her feet, she looked up to her father as a great role model, seeing as he was all she had. Lerena strolled back to the said girl and pushed her firmly back "I will not be walked over" proudly stated Lerena.

..

A small tear fell from Lerenas cheek as she reminisced past events. When she was the age of 15 her fathers business went bust, Lerena was placed into care and never heard from her father again, to this day she is unaware of where he is or whether he is even alive. Her stern cold hearted exterior gave her a bad name in her area, but made her feel safe. Lerena swore never to be hurt again. A bolt of lightning struck the ground nearby with hardly any reaction from Lerena; her eyes glistened towards the ground.

Two hours later Lerena collected her bags together and lifted herself up from the seat, walking away unaware of two cloaked figures watching from a distance. The two, respectively named Xigbar and Saix, were ordered to keep an eye on Lerena from an individual named 'The superior'.

"So this is the somebody our superior has interest in" humbly whispered the blue haired Luna Diviner.

"Seems so dude" Xigbar leant himself against the wall with his arms behind his head "…who knows why he has interest in a woman…would totally bring down the Organizations reputation ya'know?!"

Still slightly agitated by being referred to as 'dude' Saix just looked up towards the moon "I don't understand the superiors request either Number II, but neither do I question the superiors orders, and neither should you"

Xigbar rolled his eye and sighed "Chill out there Saix….geez dude"

Without another word the two slowly vanished in a mist of black smoke to continue following Lerena.

Lerena used her free arm to gently rub the other to generate any heat she could for her body, the rain fell harder and stronger and the air grew colder. It wasn't long before Lerena noticed a tall lanky figure steadily following from a distance. The figure kept up with her pace whether she slowed down or sped up; trying not to look bothered Lerena kept her eyes on what was in front of her. Suddenly a hand grabbed her waist and threw her against the wall hard. The impact caused Lerena to loose consciousness and to her it would be the last time she would ever be part of this world. The figure knelt down next to the motionless Lerena, eyes prying with excitement of what to do.

"Dude dude dude….that is NO way to treat a lady"

The figure looked around to try and work out where the slow echoed sound had come from, eventually locking onto the direction of two hooded figures.

"Just move on if you don't want trouble ok" threatened the male, unknowing to the true power of the beings that stood before him. "You heard me, get lost" shouted the male, this time pulling out a gun.

Flicking back his hood Xigbar grimaced with excitement "so it's a challenge you want … well it's a challenge you'll get" As Xigbar swung his arm out ready to call upon his sniper he was stopped by the second hooded figure "Hey…what's the deal Saix"

"Don't be so reckless, we have to keep a low key in this world, for the time being anyway" Without a second to think Saix appeared behind the man, knocking him away from Lerena. Xigbar walked over to the female, lifting her up "…and that's not being low key I presume then"

Saix hissed and created a portal for the three to pass through "Lets just get back to the world that never was, our mission is done here, and we have what we came for".

The world that never was embraced its name by being a unique and twisted world; its inhabitants were no more than mere heartless, and a group of powerful nobodies known as the Organization. Their reputation was well known throughout many lands in this alternate realm, Kingdom Hearts was what they worked for. By using their skills and abilities each nobody worked with heartless to collect hearts so one day they could regain their own. For these beings were also heartless, empty bodies who could fell no emotion, just memories of what these emotions used to be.

"I'll inform the superior of our latest arrival, whilst you place this female in her new quarters and keep an eye on her until the time is right for her to face us all" suggested the Luna Diviner.

Xigbar sighed, any of the Organization members would of thought that Saix was part of the original 6, let alone a higher number than himself, due to the way Saix acted towards their superior. Nevertheless Xigbar gave a quick understanding response and vanished through a portal, to re-appear in a snow white room. Gently placing the slim framed female onto the bed, Xigbar sat in the corner of the room and waited.

"Uh….wha..uh..nah" mumbled Lerena as she began to awaken. Lifting herself up she immediately held her head "Ah!" she winced.

"So looks like you're finally awake, you're one heavy sleeper" laughed Xigbar from the corner of the all white bedroom

"What!...who the hell are you and-…" Lerena took a slow look around her surroundings "…where the hell am I" Xigbar rose to his feet as Lerena pushed herself back towards the wall, trying to keep a confident expression.

"Trying to play tough girl…..don't make me laugh, it wont wash off here!" Xigbar walked further forward as Lerena increased her glare "I am Xigbar, Number II in the Organization, and you are currently in the castle that resides in the World That Never Was" Xigbar sat down on the edge of the long white bed "..And for a final note, you have 10 minutes before you are due to meet the superior and everyone else in the meeting chamber….welcome to the Organization"

Lerena jumped to her feet "Are you crazy…I never asked for this…I don't need anyone's help ...I….I….." Xigbar rose also "you were alone with no-where to go, the world you knew turned its back on you, what was it you had to live for there that was so important" Lerena tearfully looked towards the ground "It doesn't…matter". The Freeshooter chuckled "Good, now let's get a move on"

Xigbar walked two feet in front of Lerena down and around many long winding hallways until before them stood two giant white doors, as they began to slowly open Xigbar looked around to Lerena "You'll be ok, just stay calm" He then vanished out of sight, to reappear on his respective chair.

The doors fully opened and Lerena motioned herself forward and stood in the centre of what felt like an interrogation room. Eleven males in the same black cloaked uniform were looking down at her, and it did not take her long to work out who their superior was. Whispers broke up between one another amongst the nobodies. Lerena could not make out what was being said yet had just a small inkling that they had something to do with her, and to also do with the fact she was the first female it seems in this Organization.

"Silence" erupted a deep toned voice from what Lerena made out to be the highest chair in the room. Her eyes glanced up with anticipation, in a vain attempt to hide the fear in her heart

"I have called you all here for this meeting because we have a new member…" As the so called Superior continued to address the meeting to his fellow members Lerena could not help but let her mind wander "New member…..what no!" Quickly coming back to reality, Lerena looked up again, as if she had been listening the whole time. The superior looked down "….and we will start her process tomorrow, starting with taking her heart".

Lerenas eyes opened "My heart", the loud remark caught the attention of all the other members. "Why are you going to take my heart".

Xemnas now appeared in front of Lerena "To rebuild kingdom hearts, and regain new hearts so we can live better lives than the ones we once new, your heart is full of hatred and it is that which will help the Organizations main goal. Now no more questions, the process will start tomorrow morning" Xemnas looked back to his other members "Marluxia you will take Lerena back to her room and collect her tomorrow, bring her to the basement chamber, understood" Petals fluttered around the male as he flicked back his hood, "Understood" the graceful assassin replied.

All the other members vanished from the meeting chamber leaving Marluxia and Lerena. Marluxia then appeared next to Lerena, giving a warm smile "Well let's make a move back then to your room" Lerena nodded as the two began the long walk back down the corridors. Marluxia looked down to Lerena "I am Number XI in the Organization, Marluxia, you'll be fine tomorrow, and each one of the neophytes went through this process so any concerns, you can talk to me."

"Er…thanks" smiled Lerena "I'll be just fine, I've been taught not to show any form of weakness and to depend on no-one…..I…will be ok"

Lerena walked straight into her room, without even a subtle thank you towards Marluxia. The graceful assassin just shrugged his shoulders and walked back to his own quarters. Before reaching his own room his unknowingly walked into Numbers VIII and IX, otherwise known as Axel and Demyx.

"So Marluxia, what is the new recruit like" curiously asked the red headed pyro. "She seems to have a bit of an attitude?"

Marluxia looked at the pair "She seems to be very resistant to any form of help or support, she's a stubborn one alright, and whatever her life was like back in the other world has really given her trust issues"

Axel and Demyx looked at each other and sighed "Well I guess we'll see her true form after her process tomorrow" said Demyx "Later Marluxia" The two walked off, and Marluxia walked into his room.
