(Private xXTwilight_WarriorXx and X-23_LK)

[Apocrypha09]

Critical as they were about Shaxirma's skills, she did not quite think she had failed. The Heartless were gone now. That in itself was success.
She wondered if Larxene and Marluxia would attempt to switch apprentices permanently. Xemnas would probably disagree, since this wasn't his original plan. Then again, Shaxirma didn't know their Superior that well.
“I won't.” Shaxirma said confidently.

Axel followed Xigbar, noticing the two pirates that stayed behind on the ship. They stood stiffly out of fear. The spike-head just smiled. “Get me a rum, before you two drink it all!”
Pintel obliged. He and Ragetti relaxed as Axel began to drink with them. Xemnas probably thought they were dead. In that case, Axel would enjoy the freedom while it lasted; Xemnas would find out eventually. But right now, they had plenty of rum.
“C'mon Xigbar! You're making me look like the drunkard here!” Axel laughed.
“All this over a little girl?” Gibbs grumbled to himself. He saw no reason why there had to be so much fuss. Besides that she was pretty. Then again, the women of Tortuga were never anything to look at.

“What's there to be ashamed of? A little affection never hurt Nobody.” Luxord chuckled at his own pun. Really, what did it matter if they went ahead and screwed around? He had plenty of fresh condoms! And having Myrthe close by made it seem that Luxord had a bit more of a heart than anyone else.

“If that is all, you should rest. It may take awhile for those to heal.” Saix stated, seeing that there was no more to be done here. He made his way towards the door. “I expect you to be well by tomorrow.”
As always, never giving Allayx a break.

“I just never knew that there was so much hidden from me.” Xathere continued to play with the rose in her hands. She could understand why there was such a stigma against her and Hataxn. Sins of the parents, apparently. “Is there a reason that the Organization causes some to be traitors?”
Maybe Marluxia would know. Xathere didn't think she would get an answer from anyone else. There had to be a reason for Naxsatha's past actions. Xathere couldn't figure out what it was, except that some people were very cruel.  

[Kyathist]

"We'll see." Larxene replied to that as she walked away, out of the training hall. "You are dismissed." She waved the girl off lazily, not really caring what would happen to her now.

"True, but as much as I'd love it, I can't risk getting drunk now!" Xigbar said, giving Axel a smirk. No one had ever seen him refuse a drink, but the Freeshooter knew it could only mess things up right now. "I'll have to return to the Castle sometime soon today. Don't want anyone to know where we have been."
Jaxine frowned even more at that, but she let it pass. There was a rule to not tell anything about who you are and what the Organization is. Xigbar and Axel might have disobeyed, she wouldn't.
"Mind tellin' me what's so special about you?" Jack asked the girl who wasn't answering his questions.
"Perhaps if you explain to me who you are and what your intentions are." The girl replied, not liking the looks some pirates were giving her.

Myrthe let out another giggle at that. "I just haven't had a boyfriend before." She said while giving him a soft nudge. "You're my first." Smiling, she placed another kiss on his cheek.

"I agree." Allayx answered, although she was sure she would have to change her bed sheets and all tomorrow. It was all dark red now, thanks to her blood.
She gave another nod as he told her to be well tomorrow. And she would be. She was going to force herself to be.

This was exactly the kind of question Marluxia had been waiting for, giving him the perfect opportunity to make her doubt the Organization. He didn't show how pleased he was though, but instead made a dramatic pause like it was a hard question to answer.
"A lot of members suspect that Xemnas is up to more than what he tells us. There's little trust in this group." He spoke softly, like it was a secret, but loud enough for her to hear.  

[Apocrypha09]

Shaxirma saw that Larxene had nothing more for her to do. She went the other way, pondering whether she should train more or find something else to do.

“Meh. More for me!” Axel didn’t really care. It was Xigbar's fault that he got caught in the first place, anyway! He didn't care if anyone found out he was drunk. He could always blame it on he wanted to forget about the fight with Sephiroth.
Gibbs grimaced. Another complicated woman. Definitely not from Tortuga. Those women were so much easier to deal with, instead of those English ones.

“So that's why you don't know so much about a relationship!” Luxord realized. “Well you're in good hands. I'm an expert.”
Like now, for example, speaking of ex-girlfriends would be a bad idea. So he didn't. Although he got them all confused. They all acted the same.

Saix checked the time from a hidden watch on his wrist. Missions and such should be completed by now. Yet the Castle was eerily quiet. He should investigate.

Once the hallway to the bedrooms was clear, Vexen scurried through a portal, hid a camera in the dark corner of Lars' room, then got out of there. He went to the security room. One of the monitors was connected to his camera after some rewiring. And now, to just sit back and watch.

“Then why doesn't anyone leave, or do something?” Xathere began to understand Naxsatha's reasoning (an achievement, nonetheless; her reasoning sometimes seemed flawed). Now Xathere knew it was very important to find somewhere to escape to, when Lars was well.

((They had security cameras in Castle Oblivion in the manga. Figured they'd have it in CTNW too.))  

[Kyathist]

Xigbar glanced at the island. The pirates seemed to be satisfied for now. Good. Just a bit longer and he'd head back to the castle to check in with Saïx, planning on telling him Sephiroth fleed.
"We're just planning on giving you back in exchange for the ship." Jack stated, looking at her like it was the most obvious thing in the world. Jaxine simply shook her head. "He wouldn't do that." She crossed her arms, sighing.
"Well, then, perhaps we could... form an alliance?" He gave her a smile like it was the best idea ever, waving his arms around as always. "Perhaps something more!" Jack added a bit more awkwardly. She was beautiful, after all.

"Then you should teach me!" Myrthe gave him an excited face. "You'd be my teacher in some way anyway!" She really had no idea what to do in a relationship.

Allayx let out a soft sigh before laying down again, rolling onto her side. The wounds still hurt, and she felt filthy. But it didn't matter. She could always take a shower in the morning. Or at least clean her skin with a cloth.

Lars awoke from something, but he wasn't sure what. Glancing around the room, he didn't see anybody. He shrugged it off and went to use the bathroom, then went back to sleep. His head still hurt, and he didn't want to think about the fact that he was bald.

Marluxia tried to look somewhat sad. "It's against the rules. Any act of treason will be punished, the worst punishment being turned into a Dusk." To immediately answer more questions, he added: "Xemnas has power over Nothingness, and manipulates us into submission using his power." There was no harm in making her dislike the Superior.

(( Cool. x3 It's funny how much technology there actually is in Kingdom Hearts, but it's never really used. ))  

[Apocrypha09]

Seeing that Xigbar was going to be anti-social at the moment, Axel turned to Pintel and Ragetti, who were now arguing and laughing at the same time. Why not have a little fun with them?
Some pirates laughed at that. Of all the romances Jack had had, none of them ever worked out for him. So they couldn't really take him seriously at this point.

“I certainly will.” Luxord laughed. She was so chipper about it. Which was exactly what he was into. He had no idea how anyone else could do it differently.

Vexen quickly learned that Lars didn’t do much. As if the Academic had paralyzed or lobotomized the boy! How could anyone get work out of such a lazy imbecil?!

“Oh.” Xathere looked up at Marluxia as he spoke of this. “So... we're trapped?”
It seemed like it.  

[Kyathist]

Jaxine frowned at the laughing of the pirates, and the odd proposal. She had a feeling this was going to be a long day, in which she had to be on her guard at all times. At least she'd learn something from it...

"Thank you!" Myrthe replied happily, hugging him more tightly.

"I suppose you could say that." Marluxia answered the girl, trying to sound like it was an unfortunate thing. It actually was, but he had to make sure to not sound suspicious.

~The Next Morning~

Jaxine glanced around the group of pirates. She had stayed awake the whole night, but so had most of them to make sure she wouldn't escape. They were in a cave right now. Heartless had appeared last night and everyone was too much of a coward to fight. She had to stick to the rules.
Sighing, she held her Shadow in her arms. Some had tried to hurt the thing, but she had outsmarted them every time.
Xemnas was going to kill her. At least, she'd be punished for this, she was sure. And she was afraid it would be her Heartless she had to lose.

Xigbar had went back to the castle last night to check in with Saïx. He was now on his way to Xemnas' office, hoping to meet the Superior there. There were some things he'd like to discuss... ...and he just had to see how their leader would react to the disappearance of his apprentice. It would answer all of his questions about her.

Lars had woken up late that morning, although he already felt a bit better. He would probably fake still feeling horrible just to not have any missions. He didn't want to be bossed around by people he barely knew! All he wanted is to leave with Xathere...

Zexion was in the library again, thinking back of the training last night with the boy. He hadn't been the best fighter, but at least he learned something. Their teamwork surely had to improve though. If that wasn't enough, he had bumped into Myrthe who had something... special. A scent of Light seemed to come from her, and she was awfully happy for a Nobody.

Myrthe still sleeping as no one had woken her up yet. She wasn't wearing a shirt, but at least she still had her bra on. She had been very tired last night after hanging around with the boys.

Marluxia was in the kitchen like every morning, drinking his tea to start his day. He had been thinking a lot, trying to come up with some ideas to get Xathere to betray the Organization. She might have believed him, but she was still too kind to actually harm someone. This would prove to be a problem.

Allayx had woken up early that morning, again from a nightmare. She wasn't sure where they came from, but figured it was the Darkness, accompanied by fear. Having had enough time to clean herself up a bit, and put on her clothes, even if they were filthy with dry blood. Her coat had also been ripped in their battle yesterday, but she didn't have another set of clothes.
She went to the Grey Area for her mission. The girl had once again skipped her breakfast, and was in a bad mood.

Larxene was already in the Grey Area, very impatient when it came to her apprentice. And the others. She had never been dedicated, so her presence so early was unknown to everyone. Not like she would tell why.  

[Apocrypha09]

Gibbs had to restrain a few pirates in the night, since they wanted to say hello to the girl. Of course, those he didn't restrain were outsmarted or chased away by the sight of a Heartless. All in all, keeping the girl around was a hassle for him. But Jack had a plan!

Xemnas was doing some paperwork before his mission with Jaxine. He hadn't seen her since their last, and assumed she slept through the night okay. Which was hard to imagine how she did it, with that worthless Heartless around. He believed he sometimes spoiled Jaxine. Too much.

Hataxn did not have much to do the day before, and was ready for another mission. He hoped that it wouldn't be with Xaldin again, and that Xigbar was not drunk.

Xathere had expressed her concerns about the Organization before falling asleep next to Lars. She had only spent one night in her room. The rest had been with Lars. She should have been more careful, since they had been caught once. Luckily that time they were let off the hook. Not this time.
Lexaeus had been lenient that morning, late on checking Lars' well-being. Two days should have been enough rest for at least an easy mission. Lexaeus didn’t bother being quiet when entering, assuming Lars was still asleep.
Although comfortable when sleeping with Lars, Xathere also slept lightly, nervous of every bump in the night. So when she heard the door open, she jumped out of bed. Well, moreso fell out and stood up quickly. Xathere tried to block Lexaeus from Lars with her thin frame.
“I can explain!” She protested.

Nechax was in the Grey Area, waiting for Zexion to arrive so they could get their mission and go. He didn’t look forward to training. By the sounds of it, Zexion would make him go through it. Nothing as simple as just doing the missions assigned to them.

This was probably the first time Luxord had slept with a girl and not gotten anything out of it other than a kiss. What a disappointment. But he had to show his chivalry by escorting the young duckling to her bedroom, where they both fell asleep before meaning to.
And of course, there had been some alcohol involved with Luxord.

Shaxirma only stopped in quickly in the kitchen. She had over-trained the night before, and was running late. She didn't even realize Marluxia was there.

Saix had taken some time to arrive to the Grey Area. He was even behind schedule. Luckily, it seemed to be the thing for everyone. No one would notice his punctual behavior lacking today.  

[Kyathist]

Jaxine couldn't deny she was tired as she walked to the enteance of the cave where a pirate named Gibbs was staying as guard. "Any idea what time it is?" She asked without emotion. Xemnas would come looking for her soon, she was sure.

Xigbar threw the door open without knocking. "Morning, boss." He said loudly, although with no real emotion. "You have some time to discuss some things with me or do I need to get Luxord to stop time for the rest of the world?" Meaning he wouldn't take no as an answer.

Lars was shocked as Lexaeus had walked in. The elder didn't seem.happy with him, at all. He sat up, not caring about his head for a moment. "It was just an act of friendship." He explained, knowing no father would accept that as excuse.

Zexion walked.into the Gray Area, seeing Saïx was already there. He went over to Nechax without paying much attention to the other two. "I'm planning on improving on working together today."

Myrthe slowly woke up, seeing Luxord next to her. She gave a small smile, then realized she wasn't wearing a shirt or anything. A blush creeped on her face as she sat up. "Morning, Lux." Her voice still sounded sleepy.

Marluxia noticed Shaxirma coming in, grinning softly as he noticed she didn't realize he was here as well. He stayed quiet, observing her behaviour while sipping his tea.

As Larxene saw Saïx and noticed something unusual about him, she smirked. She didn't show what her problem was though. Instead, she completely ignored him except for the smirk she gave.

Allayx entered the Grey Area, noticing her teacher was already there. Yet did he have a ... moustache on his face? This was odd. "I'm ready for my mission, master." She stated, sounding a bit confused.
Her wounds still hurt, yes. And the bandaged were visible because her coat was ripped. She tried to ignore it though. To make it even harder, she had told herself to not wear her hood today unless necessary. She had learn showing no emotion somehow.  

[Apocrypha09]

Looking at the sun on the horizon, Gibbs cocked his head as he tried his best to estimate. “Eight. Maybe nine? Doesn't really matter. No one's come back with any food yet.”
Pirates should have been a little better at finding food, the scavengers they were. Those that were sent off either came back empty-handed or were still looking around.

Being interrupted by Xigbar, Xemnas calmly put his pen down. He wanted to say no. But the Freeshooter was not giving him that option.
“Make this quick.” Xemnas stated, looking at the one-eyed Nobody. “You have a mission today.”

Not listening to Lars' excuse, Lexaeus pulled the boy out of bed by his neck. He shoved Lars against the wall, not at all concerned about the stitches on his head. In fact, it would be better if they did hurt all the more.
“Father please! It was my fault!” Xathere tugged on the one arm that held Lars up. She was pushed back by Lexaeus' free hand.
“Go get your assignment from Saix. We will discuss this later.” He ordered. It was best to make it seem that nothing was going on to the rest of the Castle. It would only make matters worse.
Xathere didn't leave. She looked between the two males, knowing that if she left Lars would be at Lexaeus' mercy. Which was not so generous at the moment. Hadn't he gone through enough pain? They were going to be held back even longer.

Teamwork was the focus of this mission. Nechax wasn't sure how that would go. It was clear that he and Zexion didn't exactly have the same mindset. They always thought differently of a situation.
“Okay.” Was all Nechax could say.

Groaning awake, Luxord slowly became aware of where he was. Not bad, for the second night of them being together. He rolled over and tried to go back to sleep, knowing it wouldn't work.

Shaxirma made a piece of toast for herself, then realized her master was there. “Morning.” She grunted a greeting. He seemed more into formalities than she was.

Saix looked as Allayx spoke to him. He narrowed his eyes at her in discontentment. “Allayx.”
After what they had spoken about the day before, she decided to be childish. How disappointing.  

[Kyathist]

"I care about time, not food." Jaxine answered coldly, and although she wanted to go back inhe cave, she decided to stay here to talk a bit. Try to find out who they are. "You've been a pirate all your life?" She asked a bit more kind than her questions before.
If this was really the time, Xemnas had to come soon. They had to be in the Grey Area by now.

Xigbar didn't sit down, but rather stayed on his feet. He was going to make this as long as possible. "Do we really need those apprentices, Xemmy?" He asked, wanting to see the Superior's reaction to that name. "They're more distracting than helpful!"

Lars let out a cry of pain, his head hurting very much when hitting the wall. He shot a glare at the man. And this was Xathere's father? He didn't see it.
The boy, not sure what to do as he wasn't strong enough to struggle free, asked in panic: "We can talk about it!"

Zexion nodded, glancing at Saïx and his apprentice. ...Something was a bit off here. The male preferred to stay out of it.
"I think we have to wait a bit longer before getting our mission." He told Nechax calmly.

Myrthe giggled as Luxord rolled over, first poking him but then hanging over his shoulder to face him. He would notice she was pretty naked for a girl.
"I said good morning!" She smiled, giving him another kiss. That should cheer him up.

"Good morning, Shaxirma." Marluxia replied, a tad bit amused by her greeting. She didn't seem to be in a very good mood. "Are you ready for today's mission?" He asked her calmly, even though he already knew she was. And if she wasn't, his apprentice probably wouldn't show it.

Allayx crossed her arms and frowned, immediately having noticed his sudden expression of anger. "If you think I am the one who drew a moustache on your face then you are mistaken. I've been in my room all night." She didn't sound all too happy with being blamed for something childish like this.

Larxene kept her mouth shut, wanting the two of them to figure out for themselves what was wrong. She had to admit, Demyx did have some humor. Even if it was childish. And she got her entertainment without getting punished for it.  

[Apocrypha09]

“Eh... Most of it.” Gibbs said. He wasn't young, since his hair was gray. Although this girl had grey hair too, but she looked young. Jack new some pretty strange people.

“I would hardly expect you, of all people, to ask that question.” Xemnas only glared at Xigbar for the nickname given to him. He thought the Freeshooter would be entertained by the apprentices more than bothered by them. All actions done by Xigbar showed that. “We do need them. You'll find out why soon enough.”

Trying to get in between the males again, Xathere nodded eagerly when Lars suggested they talked. Her eyes were big as she looked up at Lexaeus, silently begging. Besides, she wasn't going to leave until she was sure Lars was going to be okay.
He caved in at the puppy-dog look. Lexaeus dropped Lars back onto his bed. “Then talk.”
Crossing his arms over his chest, Lexaeus doubted Lars could come up with anything good. Xathere gave him a hug, a quiet thank-you. She really had to stop doing that while others were present.

Nechax glanced at Saix, then quickly away. That would be a wrong time to gawk at him, if there ever was a time. All that Nechax knew was that he wasn't the one who did it.

Waking up for the kiss, Luxord sat up in bed now. “Well good morning, Ducky!”
That was a good way to start the day. A kiss and seeing Myrthe in a bra. It was going to be a good day!

“Yes.” Shaxirma stated. She didn't do a whole lot to prepare herself. As long as she was clean and had eaten, it should be enough. They were Nobodies, so they didn't require much to prepare, either.

“What?” Saix hissed, looking behind him for a reflection in the window. He also had marker on his face as well. It was too dry for him to even sniff it. Now Saix had the impression that Allayx hadn't done it, but was pranked as he was. Saix stalked off to find the coward. Whoever it was probably would be the last to show up.

Axel walked in as Saix walked out. He looked to see what Seven was doing. Like he could tell!
“No missions then?” Axel stretched as he found his way to a couch. “I got up for nothing.”  

[Kyathist]

"At what age did you get on a ship, then?" She asked, realizing she had to ask a lot of questions as this man wasn't a talker.
Jaxine leaned back against the rocks, holding her Heartless in a tight grip. It looked like it was sleeping, but for as far as she knew, Heartless didn't sleep...

"I'm just saying I don't see a whole lot of progress." The Freeshooter stated, smirking at the glare he received. Of all people, he was probably the only one who could handle it. As long as it wasn't the death glare, then he had to run.
Xemnas was hinting again that they would need them. Odd. Xigbar wondered what for.
"Especially you seem to be a bit out of your mind, Xehanort." He continued on. "I thought you didn't care about affection?"

Lars had to take a few deep breaths before being able to talk. If this was the way he was treated here, he'd rather die. Although then Xathere would be alone, which he didn't want either.
"We were just talking last night, and she stayed to make sure I would be fine. I didn't feel all too well, and I preferred for someone to be here if anything went wrong." It was true for the most part.

Zexion couldn't help but smirk slightly at seeing Saïx' face. What he did notice was that his apprentice's scent of Darkness got stronger as well.

Myrthe's cheeks were still a bit red as she smiled at him. "That woke you up." She said, realizing he wasn't wearing a shirt either. What had happened exactly last night?

"Good." Marluxia placed his cup on the kitchen counter, then left the kitchen. "I'll meet you in the Grey Area." She could have some time alone to fully wake up. He wasn't a teacher to continuously bother his apprentice.

Wait, so Saïx didn't realize he had one on his face? Allayx looked at her reflection in the mirror as well... Someone was going to pay.
Without any more words, she followed after Saïx. She tried her best to keep the Darkness under control, as it would soon be radiating from her body again. No one except for Saïx was allowed to see it though.

Larxene kept on grinning as she sat down next to Axel. "Someone has drew a moustache on his face, and on his apprentice's face. You should've seen their reaction!"

Demyx was slowly and peacefully waking up that morning, marker still in his hand and a lazy smile on his face. He didn't realize his victims had figured it out already.  

[Apocrypha09]

“About when I was your age.” Gibbs estimated. He wasn't too sure, since it had been a long time. He was only in it for the adventure then, and still was, only he had Jack to follow (which was an adventure in itself).

Xigbar must have been talking about what he discovered two nights ago. To even mention Xemnas' former name, he was not going to leave this alone. Xigbar, Braig – either way he acted the same.
“My personal business is not yours.” Xemnas scolded. “You have your own apprentice to worry about. From what I've seen, you haven't been keeping him separated from the other three.”

“It's true.” Xathere nodded at what Lars said. She couldn't see how it would be a bad thing. She was just being a friend.
“You should have rested instead of staying awake just to talk.” Lexaeus scolded. He turned to Xathere. She had just as much blame as Lars did. “You had no business of being in here in the first place. I do not want to find you in here again. Understood?”
“Yes sir.” Xathere looked down at the floor as she mumbled.
“Go report in.”
This time she didn't argue it, and left the two alone, regrettably.

Luxord wore very little when he went to sleep. So obviously he had planned on spending the night in Myrthe's room. Or did he get extremely lucky last night? If only he hadn't drank so much, maybe Luxord would remember!
“Well, reality is better than dreaming about you all night.” Luxord added a charming smirk with his flirtation.

Finishing her breakfast while being left alone, Shaxirma saw Xathere pass by quickly. She didn't want to seem nosy, but she did wonder what Marluxia had done with the other apprentice. She doubted it was anything Larxene would do.

Saix began to go through the rooms once they entered the hallway. Whoever was still not prepared for a mission had to be the culprit. And Saix got closer and closer to the lower rankings. He began to predict the coward, based on past experiences.

“I always miss the good stuff!” Axel threw his arms in the air in frustration. He put them behind the couch, lounging. It would be some time before he got told what to do. He would appreciate the time.  

[Kyathist]

"I see." Jaxine gave him a nod. She would think it was a waste of life, but then again, so would the Organization be for some people. And she joined that group at this age. "Suppose you've seen a lot of things, then."

"And yet somewhere it is." Xigbar stated with a grin. He was sure the other knew what the Freeshooter was talking about. They were both a part of the old Xehanort.
"Ah, a little family time shouldn't matter. I'll get him away from them the moment you stop showing affection." He was getting more serious now than he normally was. It just happened when discussing such things with the Superior.

"I apologize..." Lars stated, feeling really exhausted thanks to all this. He gave Xathere a sad look as she had to leave, and wasn't allowed to come back. As soon as she was gone, he faced Lexaeus. The boy seemed very emotional, even as a Nobody. There were so many things he would say right now if he wasn't in such a bad state. You couldn't say anything bad about anyone here without being attacked for it.

"You dreamt about me?" Myrthe asked surprised, giving him a curious look. "What was it about?" She could guess some things, but she wanted to hear his answer.
Realizing she wasn't wearing pants either, only underwear, the girl kept her legs underneath the bed sheets.

Marluxia calmly entered the Grey Area, finding it odd Saïx wasn't there yet. "Is number Seven late?" He asked, turning to Zexion. The Cloaked Schemer was the best person to ask such a question. From who were already there, at least.
"He left just a few minutes ago. I assume he has been pranked by one of the lower ranks."

As Demyx heard loud footsteps, and doors opening and closing, he was sure Saïx had figured it out. Dang! Jumping up, he quickly took his coat and ran out of his room. It was the only thing to do to try and escape the Luna Diviner. "Run, run away!" He screamed as he ran away from the bluenette and his apprentice.
Allayx took notice of the guy who seemed very afraid of them... and who had a marker in his hand. Without asking, she ran after him.

"Well, not always." Larxene rolled her eyes as she crossed her arms before her chest. "You were the one to kill Vexen, that's something good." She didn't care if Vexen heard her statement.  

[Apocrypha09]

“Oh yeah.” Gibbs nodded. “Sea monsters, undead pirates, even mermaids.”
He chuckled at the last one. The other crew members had had some interesting experiences from mermaids. What they thought was harmless and beautiful quickly turned deadly and hideous.

Xigbar was still going to poke and prod at the situation until he got whatever he wanted. However, Xemnas knew how to avoid that.
“You have no reason to spy on your Superior.” Xemnas quirked an eyebrow skeptically. No one would know if they weren't eavesdropping on Xemnas in his very private room. Though again, he felt like repeating, “This isn't any of your concern.”
Xehanort or not.

The apology was almost unheard. At least with Xathere gone, Lexaeus didn't have to worry about her arguing against his decisions. Just like Naxsatha would.
“I don't want you going anywhere near her either.” Lexaeus warned. He didn't care what Xemnas' plans were for the apprentices. So far Lars had been nothing more than a liability to them. If he were to disappear, Xemnas probably wouldn't care.

“Just you, and your pretty face.” Luxord grinned. Yep. He must have gotten something last night! It was a lie, the dream. He hadn't really seen anything. But Myrthe would love it.

Shaxirma left the kitchen soon after Marluxia left, finished eating her breakfast. From the sounds of things, Larxene would be training her again after her mission. That wasn't terrible.

Saix took off after Demyx, not fully aware that Allayx was doing the same thing. Not to mention she was ahead of him as well. He was close to a blind fury now that they were in a chase.

“Good point!” Axel laughed. That had been fun! Especially when the old man's face was horrified. Vexen was so emotional for a Nobody.
Xathere entered the Grey Area, her face downcast. She walked over to Larxene and waited for an order.
