A/N: Hey, everyone! It's only been a few days and I'm already at it again! If you're reading this, then you've probably read Pokemon: Keyblade Masters. If not, then please go read it.


Darkness. That was all he could see. He was falling through the darkness. He couldn't see where he was going. He didn't know where he came from. Who was he? He had no idea. The darkness was suffocating, he could barely breathe. His senses were clouded. His mind filled with slight panic, but even that feeling was dulled. 'Where am I? Who am I? Where did I come from? Where am I going?'

Suddenly the ground appeared below him and he landed in a heap. He grit his teeth and closed his eyes to the pain. He opened his eyes with a groan. He stood and saw he was standing before a huge mansion. A dark portal suddenly opened before him, making the boy gasp. A cloaked man stepped out of the portal and approached him.

"Do you remember your name?" the man asked softly. The boy shook his head and the man nodded. He raised his hand and three letters appeared in the air before them. A-S-H. The man flicked his wrist and the letters began swirling around the boy at great speed. Suddenly the letters stopped as an 'X' appeared as well. The newly rearranged letters spelled a single word.

"Xhäs..." the boy whispered.

"Your new name," the man answered his unasked question. Xhäs looked at him with wide eyes.

"Who are you?"

"My name," the man whispered. "Is Xemnas."


Xhäs wandered through the streets. 'Organization XII...' he thought. 'What are they exactly?' The man, Xemnas, said he wanted Xhäs to join. 'But, why?' Xhäs questioned. 'It's not like I'm special... other than being a... Nobody."

It was true. Xhäs had no special capabilities, no skill or even memories. Everything was a mystery to Xhäs. He looked around. He could recognize the words on signs. 'Welcome to Twilight Town!'

'I know how to read, I know how to write as well...' Xhäs thought to himself. 'But no personal memories... Xemnas said that its normal for Nobodies to forget a few things, but their entire memory?'

Xhäs looked down at himself. He was wearing a black jacket with a silver fleur-de-lis pattern. He wore plain black pants and black shoes. What was with all the black? Xhäs also noticed a weight on his left ear. He felt his ear, feeling cold metal. An earring.

He looked back at his surroundings to see a group of kids about his age playing together. Xhäs smiled wistfully. 'I wonder what it's like to have friends...'

"Hey, there," a voice from behind him said. Xhäs turned to see a pretty blonde girl smiling at him. "You look lonely." Xhäs looked away from her. "We'll have to fix that, c'mon." She grabbed his hand and dragged him off with her.

Within minutes, Xhäs found himself in a place called Sunset Hill. Its famous sunset was shining brilliantly in the distance. Xhäs glanced at the girl out of the corner of his eye. She stared at the sunset, enthralled.

"It's almost impossible to watch a sunset and not dream," she said softly.

"What do you dream of?" Xhäs asked.

"I dream of the dawn, that will free us..." she whispered. Xhäs turned to her fully.

"Are you like me, too?"

"Am I a Nobody?" he nodded. "Yes."

"I see..." Xhäs muttered. He blinked. "Sorry, but... Who are you?"

She turned to him. "I'm Larxene,"

"I'm Xhäs," he replied, turning back to the sunset.

"How old are you, Xhäs?" Larxene asked curiously.

"Ten, I think." he said uncertainly.

"I'm thirteen," she replied. Xhäs continued to stare at the sunset until he felt something poke him. He turned to see Larxene offering him an ice cream. He wasn't sure where she got it from but accepted nonetheless. Xhäs took a tentative lick and blinked in confusion.

"Salty?... no... Sweet?" he asked confused.

Larxene laughed at his expression. "Sea-Salt Ice Cream," she explained. "It's kind of a tradition. When one of us is turned into a Nobody, we eat Sea-Salt Ice Cream."

They spent the rest of their time together sitting on the fence in silence. Just watching the sunset.
