happier than ever | Xemnas x Xatlyn (OC)

All Alone

Xatlyn had told everyone that Xemnas had died and that Xigbar and Saïx had agreed on her being the new leader. The twelve remaining members were all currently in Where Nothing Remains.

Xatlyn had moved to Xemnas' chair, leaving her old chair vacant. "Any bright ideas on how to get a new number XIII, Countess?" Xigbar still had his sarcastic attitude, making Xatlyn's eyes roll. "Xemnas was planning on replacing me with another wielder of the keyblade." Xatlyn started.

"Not very many nobody's use keyblades, Xatlyn." Axel said. "Xemnas was lucky to find you." Xatlyn listens, thinking over Xemnas' plans. "The Keyblade Hero and his friend both have nobodies. One of them should be able to wield a keyblade. If we find them both, we'll have just enough to replenish our ranks." Xatlyn's voice echoed the room.

"Marluxia, Axel, we're gonna need you two to bring them here." Saïx told the two my plan of who needed to get said nobody's. "We'll be right on it." Axel said as he and Marluxia left the room, leaving the other 10.

"You are all dismissed. Continue your missions as usual." She told the rest of them. Everyone else besides Xigbar and Saïx stayed behind. "How did you find out about the new nobody's?" Saïx asked Xatlyn. "I found Xemnas' plans a while back. I only found it fitting to continue it, with the chance he came back. He'd probably turn us all into Dusks if we threw it out altogether."

Saïx nods his head. "That's understandable." "Even after you've incapacitated him, you're still a pawn in his little game." Xigbar jests, making Xatlyn glare at him. "Had it been you, would you dare cross him? He might wake up." Xatlyn's voice echoed even more, causing Xigbar and Saïx to lower their heads, ashamed of themselves.

"I'm just looking out for us." Xatlyn's voice stopped echoing. "I've gained a heart of my own. All I want at this point is to help you guys gain hearts of your own. With two keyblade wielders, we'll get this done twice as fast." Xatlyn told the two. "You're both dismissed. Please notify Axel and Marluxia to report immediately to me once the nobody's are found." She watched as Saïx and Xigbar left the room, leaving her alone in the big room.

Xatlyn pulls down her hood, letting her frizzy, purple hair fall out. She lets out a breath, leaning against the chair. Being the leader of Organization XIII was more difficult than she ever thought.

Another member showed up in the room, in the number IX spot. Demyx. His hood was down, knowing it was just gonna be him and Xatlyn in there. "Hey, Demyx." She softly smiles.

"Xatlyn, I just gotta know." Demyx started. "You have a heart now. I wanna know what it feels like." Xatlyn sighs, unsure of how to answer. "It's a lot of Yin and Yang." Xatlyn starts. "You'd truly feel emotion again, that much is true. But it's also all of this emotional pain. I've formed connections with you guys, and I don't want to loose you. I don't know what I'd do if I did."

"Wow." Demyx gasps. "All of that comes from a heart?" Xatlyn nods her head. "Thank you, Countess. Could you maybe let me join Marluxia and Axel with their mission?" Xatlyn takes a moment to think it over. "If you absolutely want to. I honestly have no idea where they are, but they shouldn't be too much trouble."

With a nod of gratitude, Demyx leaves the room. Xatlyn pulls her legs up so she's all curled up on the chair. It still had the vibe of Xemnas, frightening yet comforting. Xemnas was the one who found her, he brought her into the organization. And all she did in return was incapacitated him, enough for someone to kill him in his sleep.

She feels tears streaming down her cheeks.
At least he's not dead. Like Ansem.

Xatlyn was used to that voice by now. Her and a heartless had always been connected, since the split in Halloween Town.

"I know that, but I made it easier." Xatlyn sobs out.

Just let me take care of him. With him gone, Xehanort will return and I can have Ansem back.

The voice echos in her head. "No! You don't understand how dangerous Xehanort is!" Xatlyn outbursts.

You love Xemnas as much as I love Ansem. Xehanort can bring them back to us. You must understand that.

"I do understand that. I do love him." Xatlyn curls up in her cloak. "Just leave me alone." The voice stays silent, leaving Xatlyn completely alone.
