Kingdom Hearts; The Heartless Keeper

Chapter VII; Roxas & Xion

Upon entering the common room Yuki heard the whispers. They sounded stressed and concerned. Whatever had happened was not good. Seeing X off to the side Yuki walked over to him. He too looked as if seriously considering something. His purple eyes stared at nothing with a hard look.

"What's happening?" Yuki asked making X jolt back into reality.

"What was the question?" X asked a little disoriented. He really must have been thinking hard if he didn't hear Yuki.

"I asked what was happening." Yuki said. She glanced at the others.

Aysui and number three, Syrine, were standing together discussing something with grave looks on their faces. Hysui and Zaya were talking not far away from the leaders. Zaya seemed worried while Hysui looked amused. Rimyei, number five, Arykii, number seven, and Zakey, number eleven, were standing together, talking only every now and then. Sykitune was talking to Myruai, number nine, and Aryum, number ten, very adamantly, motioning with her hands. Myruai was nodding while Aryum just watched as if saying she wasn't sure if she believed Sykitune's tale.

Y entered the room and looked around confused before walking over to X and Yuki.

"What did I miss?" Y asked very confused. Yuki shrugged then looked at X.

"Those humans the Nobodies were going to mess with arrived not too long ago." X explained he looked around at the other Heartless.

"Is that all? It's a lot of fuss over something we knew was going to happen." Y said in disbelief.

"There's more. Two others have somehow gotten in with them. It's unnerving that they found this place." X continued. He was still looking at the ground.

"Who are the other two?" Y asked concerned. Her orange eyes were a little duller than normal, the only clue to her worry besides her lack of a smile.

"We don't know who the one is for sure. The other we recognize but he can't fully step foot here yet." X explained still thinking.

"Who is the one you know?" Y asked tipping her head to the side.

X waved off the question. "It's no one of importance. He's not a threat. And even more to our advantage, they don't know we're here." He said trying to sound unconcerned. It didn't work very well.

Y frowned, "X, you were never a very good liar."

"Not to you at least," X muttered looking away from his blonde twin.

"We can worry about it later, everyone's leaving for their missions now. We should get going." Yuki said. The room was emptying slowly, the others leaving to complete their tasks.

Aysui approached the three. "Are you ready for your tasks?" She asked in a sour tone. The group nodded not daring to argue. "Good, X, Y, you'll be working together. Yuki, there are Deserters in Twilight Town you need to get rid of." Aysui said before stalking off.

"We had better go after her. She failed to tell us where we were going." X sighed.

"Yeah, see ya later Yuki." Y said as she and her brother walked off. Yuki sighed before summoning a dark corridor.

Yuki looked around the sandlot watching the Deserters run around in circles. It was entertaining as always, but today she was not impressed. Being in large groups and running around like that would make them hard to catch. She sighed heavily.

Yuki stepped out into the open area and watched the little green Heartless run around her. She flicked both her wrist summoning her keyblades preparing to fight.
