I have to admit, while a bit excessive the familiarity I get in the house is crazy. The outside is nothing special but look inside and it is a whole new ball game. The interior seems modelled after the Castle That Never Was, only it isn't all white. The Grey Area is still there with the windows showing a gorgeous view outside. The rooms and corridors seem the same and Hell, even Proof of Existence and Where Nothing Gathers are here. The basement and Brink of Despair are access through Crooked Ascension and Naughts Skyway is also there. The Hall of Empty Melodies and even The Library. Ruby has made the old castle our new house with some needed additions like a kitchen and colour.
Surprisingly Aqua knows her way around the area. Xion goes into where her room is, Aqua goes to Naught's Altar and I take a seat in The Grey Area. I clearly remember coming here everyday to receive missions from Saix and talking with the other members. Shaking my head I head for my room which is the exact same except the room has black and bits of red in it's palette. I lay on my bed and begin to drift off when I realise something. I need my stuff. I stand up and am about to walk to Issei's when I realise I can use Dark Corridors. "I'm an idiot." I say as I stick my hand out and create the portal. I walk through and end up in my old room. I put as much as I feel is necessarily for me to have in a box and bring it back to my room. I then collapse on my bed and immediately fall asleep.
Timeskip
School went back to normal but no-one knew about Ruby, not even the devils. People started taking notice of me again which was a relief but also a problem. now I'm talking with Rias about what happened at the church. "You have a lot of explaining to do Roxas." Rias says trying to scare me but I look at her and sigh. "If you're trying to scare me don't bother." I say and she glares at me.
She pulls out an image of me using Oathkeeper and Oblivion and she pushes it forward. "First off, we need to know what you are and how you learned to fight with those." She says while tapping the photo. "I'm just a Nobody and I've always known how to do that." I say and summon my keyblades. "You are not a nobody, not if you can do something like that." She says and I facepalm, dropping my blades making them dissipate. 'Just like Stratos had said, no one knows about Heartless or Nobodies' I say to myself and create a Dusk. "Capital N, a Nobody is a being that had a strong heart when they died. They return as a Nobody." I say and point to the Dusk. "That is the most common variant of Nobody known as a Dusk."
"Nobodies don't have a soul or more commonly known as a heart so they can't feel emotion. However we can act like we do based on memories. I however am technically the Nobody of 2 people, which allows me to experience emotion unlike the rest of the Nobodies." I further explain which she notes down.
"Well, I appreciate the information Roxas but I'm afraid you technically are trespassing on devil territory. This can be avoided if you jo-"she gets interrupted by me. "No, I've been given orders not to strictly become a devil. However, this doesn't mean I couldn't ally myself with you." I say as she thinks it through. "Well, it seems The Nobodies and Devils are Allies then." She says and we shake on the agreement. "Well done XIII, gaining allies in this new world shall be beneficial to the New Organisation XIII." I hear Xemnas say through my Gear which I named Existence Eternal.
The rest of the ORC walk in with Issei looking at me confused. "Hey Roxas, why didn't you come home last night." He asks and everyone turns to look at me. "Issei, I'm not your living there anymore. I managed to find a house for myself, Xion and Aqua." I say whilst keeping Ruby hidden from them as they don't remember Ruby. "Oh, Alright. Where are those 2." He says and I'm half tempted to whack him with Oblivion. "They're in town getting used to Japan as they arrived not long ago. Maybe around the same time as Asia." I say.
"Alright, anyway Roxas I ask if could join the ORC so we can discuss matters now we are allies." Rias says and I chuckle. "Sorry Rias, I'm thinking of creating my own club in case more Nobodies like me show up." I say referring to Xion and possibly others. "I see, well you'll need to speak with Sona. Don't worry she too is a devil." She says and I nod and make my way to her. Goin* there I feel a heat being emitted by my Sacred Gear which I always have out for convenience. The heat feels familiar yet I can't pinpoint it.
I reach the student council room and knock. "Enter" I hear Sona say and I walk in. "Ah Roxas, Rias informed me your familiar with the Supernatural correct." She says and I nod. "Right, now I need some information on what you are in that case." She says and I say the exact same thing I said to Rias. "Odd, never heard of Nobodies in any document on supernatural races." She says looking at me and I cross my arms. "We prefer to keep our existence unknown. We aren't meant to exist." I say and she nods. "So, what actually brings you here then." She says and I sit up.
"Well, I would like to make a club in case more Nobodies enter this school. I already know of another in Kuoh and she is under my custody." I say and she notes down my request. "I can do that, but I need a name for the club." She says and I scratch my head. "Well, some names come to mind...specifically The Club That Never Was but I also thougt maybe taking over the kendo club and altering it into a fight or sparring club." I say and the heat from my Gear gets hotter. "I can work with the latter... is it hot in here." Sona says and my Sacred Gear emits a Fire ball imbued with nothingness which lands behind me. Then clapping can be heard from the flames. "Simply Amazing Roxas." I hear from behind me to see someone I thought to be in the Sacred Gear.

"AXEL!" I yell and look shocked. He does a 2 finger salute and comes up to me. "Surprised, Your little trinket actually holds the existence of every Organisation XIII member. And when you gain a boost in power, you allow one of us to leave." He says and ruffles my hair. "Excuse me, who are you." Some says while preparing some water magic. "Name's Axel, Got it memorised" He says his signature catchphrase and looks at me. "Who is this chick" he says and I facepalm. "Sona about the club, and he's what I meant by other Nobodies." I say and she nods. "Here is the notice for the changes to the Kendo Club and inform me of other Nobodies joining and I'll add them to the school." She says and I drag Axel out.
"Alright Who was she, her heart was shrouded in darkness." Axel says out loud. "Axel, I'll explain when we are somewhere secure. My house is close and school is close to ending." I say and he nods while putting his hands behind his head. "Look at you Roxas, taking the role of leadership." He says and I look at him. We reach the kendo club and I knock on the door. Katase and Murayama open the door to see me and Axel. "Roxas, what are you doing here." Katase asks and I show her the slip. "So, you managed to buy out the Kendo club!" Murayama yells and I quiet her down. "Look, I'm making it more accessible, instead of Kendo it will literally be a sparring club for any martial art not just Kendo." I say and they calm down. "Ok, thanks for letting us know, also who is he." Katase asks pointing at Axel.
"Name's Axel, Got it memorised" He says and I sigh. "He's a new student." I say and they nod. "Well, we'll see you tomorrow." Murayama says and we leave for home. "Well, That was interesting." Axel says and I nod in agreement. "You missed out on interesting things Axel, for one Xion is alive" I say and he looks at me wide eyed. "HOW" he yells and grabs me harshly. "She's at my house with a woman named Aqua." He then takes of in a blaze of fire and I use a dark corridor to catch up.
