Titano Man: Hello everyone! I gotta say, the response from last chapter was pretty surprising. Only one chapter and this story already has 3 reviews, 4 favorites, and 5 follows with up to 115 views (as of the writing of this chapter) since it was posted back in last September. I never anticipated for it to get that much so quick! So, I'm going to take this as far as I can! And even though this isn't a top priority story, I'll still try to update without too much time between chapters. So without further ado, let's get this party started! Roll the disclaimer!

Xemnas: Titano Man XIII does not own Kingdom Hearts (Square Enix and Disney Interactive) or anything else he decides to include in this story. But he does hold ownership over all of the OCs that are in this story.

Titano Man: Thank you. Now on with the show!

Chapter Summary: Organization XIII are brought to the Order's base, which was a large, beautiful castle. After being shown around the castle, the Organization encounter several of the members of Kuro's group. Will they make a good first impression?

We're All Out of Nothing!

Chapter 2: Full House!

Play Final Fantasy XV OST- Valse di Fantastica

The scene opened to a world alive with nature. Large grassy plains, meadows, and fields of flowers stretched on for miles, and beyond those fields, on the edge of the horizon, distant mountains could be seen holding the clear blue sky aloft. The land was dotted with trees here and there. Some grew solitary, silently basking in the peace of the land, others grew in small groups, silently working together to help one another grow and protect the wildlife that made them their home.

But the most eye catching feature of this land was the massive river fed lake with crystal clear water that glittered beautifully in the sunlight.

The lake stretched for many miles and was at least sixty meters deep. A large river fed into the lake, bringing fresh water and nutrients down from the distant mountains. The lake fed into a second river, just as large as the first, bringing old water out to a distant sea.

Situated on the shores of this beautiful lake was a large village... Well, it wasn't a village, more of a town since most of the buildings didn't go higher than four stories.

Anyway, the village had the look and feel of a town one would find in the Colonial era, with many of the buildings sporting Victorian and Gothic styles that had what seemed to be a few German influences in their designs as well.

The town was rather marvelous as well, having many of the modern commodities one would expect to see around the late twentieth century, as well as what looked like Steampunk vehicles and contraptions seen along the streets.

But none of that compared to the magnificent castle that stood over it all.

The castle rested a little more than a mile from the town and was protected by high ramparts with four tall watchtowers that formed the corners of a large box.

There was a great deal of space between the castle and the walls protecting it. Space large enough to easily fit to major league football fields between the main gate and the front door.

Cutting through the space was a well maintained paved lane made from sturdy stone bricks that cut through the trimmed lawn and ended in a large round courtyard in front of the door with a flowing fountain set in its center. On either side of the lane were large, impressive statues carved from marble each depicting either a soldier on horseback, or a mythical creature.

On the left side of the castle was a large garden filled with a large array of plant life and on the right side were several fenced in courtyards to play games like basketball, volleyball, baseball, and even soccer.

The land behind the castle held many things. A greenhouse to store exotic plants, a hedge-maze, a full length track field and obstacle course, and the biggest draw, an insanely massive pool that looked to have been made by Mother Nature herself!

The pool was easily double the size of a standard Olympic sized pool, and gradually went down to more than a depth of fifteen feet at its deepest part. The pool was ringed with massive stones with one set on one of the deeper parts that was big enough to act as a diving board. There were grooves, alcoves, small hidden areas connected to it, and even an area where people could sunbathe. A connected hot tub. And it even had a beautiful rock waterfall with a built in waterslide and a small hidden recess located just behind the waterfall.

To complete the natural look, dozens of water plants were placed all around the pool and some even acted as natural filtration.

The castle itself was just as impressive. Looking as if it had been come from different ages, the building had three differing styles that blended rather well together. The main building was the oldest part, looking to have been built in the Middle Ages from ancient stone blocks. Moss, ivy, and regular wear and tear gave the building an aged look that overall added to its appeal. The newer parts of the castle were a mix of Gothic and Victorian architecture. Nearly all of the doors and windows had a Victorian style to them while the castle's three towers of varying length all had a Gothic feel to them due to the many gargoyles and old Christian imagery etched onto them.

The castle was also very big. Not counting the towers, it reached high into a good six stories.

Truly, this castle was fit for the highest of royalty.

This was also the place where our story takes place.

Just then a Corridor of Darkness appeared in the middle of the courtyard, directly in front of the fountain, and Kuro stepped out of it, followed shortly by the fourteen members of Organization XIII.

"Welcome to my lovely home everyone!" the black-haired man said as he turned around to face the group with a wide, sweeping gesture.

Most of the members of the Organization stared at the castle in open-mouthed shock. They didn't know what to expect when it came to Kuro, but they didn't anticipate something this grandiose!

"This is your home?!" Xion asked in shock as she stared at the rival leader.

"Yes. Beautiful isn't it?" the man asked with a proud smirk. He loved the awed expressions that would appear on the faces of new Nobodies when they lay their eyes upon the castle for the first time.

"Very." Marluxia said as he gave an appreciative nod. He was no architect, but even he had to admit that the old castle looked gorgeous.

"How'd you even get your hands on a place like this?" Axel asked with a raised brow as he looked at the raven-haired man.

"I have my ways." Kuro said mysteriously before he turned around and began to trek across the courtyard towards the front door. "Come along now. We need to get all of you familiar with this place as soon as possible." he said as he beckoned for the group to follow him.

As the members of Organization XIII began to walk across the courtyard, Saïx walked alongside Xemnas.

"Are you sure that staying with him is wise my lord? I still do not trust that delusional fool." the blue-haired second in command said with a scowl on his face.

"That remains to be seen. While Xurok, I mean Kuro, and I have had our disagreements in the past, I'm certain that we can set aside our differences long enough to complete our goal of completing Kingdom Hearts." the silver-haired man said calmly as he led his subordinates through the courtyard.

"If you say so lord Xemnas. But I will be keeping a close eye on him and his band of foolish followers." the Luna Diviner said with as he glared at Kuro's back.

After a few moments, the large group of Nobodies stood within the front foyer, taking in the beautiful interior design, along with the sheer size of the room.

The foyer went up to as high as the second floor with and intricately designed domed ceiling, two curving staircases that led up to a small indoor balcony up on the second floor that sat directly over the central hallway that led dealer into the castle. The floor was covered in a rich red carpet that even went up the stairs up onto the second floor.

The walls had several paintings hanging off of them, each depicting regal looking individuals.

And hanging above everyone's heads was a beautifully crafted crystal chandelier.

"Well, well... This place is even fancier than ours!" Xigbar said with a smirk as he let out an appreciative whistle.

"Thank you, though you haven't seen anything yet!" Kuro said with a grin. He turned around to face the group of Nobodies. "This castle has a total of six main floors, not counting the roof, and three basement floors. The whole place is divided into four wings that we use for different purposes. Follow me and I'll explain more as I show you all around." the red-eyed man said as he turned around and began to walk down the main hallway directly in front of them.

The members of Organization XIII followed along silently.

"The castle is divided into four wings, which we utilize for different purposes." the Black Wolf of the Void said as the other Nobodies behind him admired the decor around them.

On the floor was a long red carpet while propped up against either walls were suits of armor, beautiful marble statues, and expensive looking tapestries and paintings.

"Right now we're in the main wing, where we conduct our business as a group. You know, go out on missions and have meetings and such." he said with a shrug.

A few moments later the group reached the end of the hall, where a pair of large double doors made of oak sat. Carved onto the face of the doors was a coat of arms depicting a pair of mighty lions with horns and wings battling each other.

"In fact, we've just reached our main meeting room." the man said as he stopped in front of the doors.

Kuro then pushed the doors open and the group entered the room within.

The room was basically a large circular hall, much like the Organization's own meeting room, only without the giant elevator chairs.

In the center of the room was a large round table made from oak, and surrounding said table were twenty, yes twenty, fancy looking chairs, each carved from some rather expensive looking wood. They each all intricately designed with a different kind of animal carved into the backs of each seat. Some of the chairs were a little bigger than the others with the biggest one apparently reserved for the leader.

Hanging from the ceiling was a large chandelier that illuminated the room.

"This is where we meet up every now and then to discuss business. We talk about operations, the state of the town and other worlds, changes in the Heartless population, etcetera, etcetera." Kuro said with a lazy wave.

"There are so many seats!" Xion said as she looked around the room. "Are you sure that you don't have too many members?" she asked as she looked up at the rival leader.

The leader of the Order looked down at the small girl, who for some reason had yet to remove her hood, and patted the top of her head.

"Every one of our members have a voice and an opinion, and those voices and opinions should be heard. So they all get their own seat at the table." he said as with a grin. "Don't you have a seat as well?" he asked curiously.

"N-no sir. I'm not allowed to attend the meetings." the ravenette said shyly.

"Really? Are you a servant? An intern?" the Black Wolf asked with an arched brow.

"No. I'm an actual member of Organization XIII!" said the girl.

"That's right. She's number fourteen." Roxas said as he put a hand on his friend's shoulder.

"You're the fourteenth member of Organization XIII, and yet you don't have a seat?" he asked in surprise.

"That's right." Xion said with a nod.

"Interesting..." the black haired man said as he raised his red, animalistic eyes up towards Xemnas.

Kuro stared at his rival for a moment before he turned away from the group. "Alright, let's move along! Got more to show you." he said as he gave a couple of claps and pushed through the group of Greater Nobodies and out the door.

The others were quick to follow.

"Anyway, as I was saying before, we are currently in the main wing of the castle. This is where we conduct our business as a group." Kuro said as he walked down a hallway further into the castle. "The east end of the castle is where most of the bedrooms are. Though some of our members have rooms in different parts of the castle, most of them live there. That's also where you're all going to stay." he said with a shrug. "Don't worry. There are more than enough rooms for each of you. You can even decorate them however you want." he added as he glanced back at the group.

Even though none of the other Nobodies responded, Kuro knew that most of them had been rather pleased to hear that.

"Anyway, the west wing is where the old servant's quarters are, as well as the kitchen, laundry room, dining room, food storage, etc." the black-haired man said as he waved his hand through the air.

"You have servants?" Xaldin asked curiously.

"Not really. The lesser Nobodies that we are able to command don't sleep much. And those rooms have been there for a very long time. We don't really have much use for them." he said with a shrug.

"Ah." the Whirlwind Lancer said with a nod.

"And finally there's the south wing, which is our recreational area. That's where most of the fun additions to the castle are." he said with a chuckle. "In fact, let's go take a look. Montage time!" Kuro said with a grin as he pointed at the screen.

Meanwhile the members of the Organization where looking at the man in bemusement, wondering just what the heck he was pointing at.

Over the course of the next twenty minutes Kuro showed the Nobodies around the castle, showing off close to a hundred rooms, each with a different purpose.

There were the necessities, such as a massive kitchen fully stocked with every kind of modern 21st century appliance that was needed. Two stoves, three refrigerators, one for fruits and vegetables, another for dairy products, the last for meat, and a separate freezer for things that need to be frozen, cabinets filled with canned and packaged foods, drawers with dozens of utensils in them, pots and pans hanging from racks, etc. etc.

There was a large room just short of a hall with a massive dining table set within it.

There were plenty of bathrooms all throughout the castle. Each with their own theme. There were even two separate indoor and outdoor bathhouses!

Larxene was rather impressed with the modern penthouse themed bathroom with a waterfall shower and built in hot tub, while Marluxia took a liking to the one that looked like it was built into a natural grotto.

And more bedrooms than anyone knew what to do with. Heck, most of them were used primarily for storage.

But those weren't the most fascinating part of the castle, no. The most fascinating element to Kuro's home were the dozens of room that the man's has said were for entertainment. Rooms that Saïx, Xemnas, saw as pointless distractions because they were fun hating jerks like that.

Anyway, there was, a library (That Zexion looked interested in.), a billiards room, a poker room (They practically had to drag Luxord away.), a gym with tons of weights, a sauna, a dojo, a built in mini theater with a freakin mini movie screen, a room chalked full of musical instruments (Which Demyx loved.), an actual bar stocked with all kinds of drinks, including liquor, a laboratory stocked with equipment both modern and advanced (Vexen couldn't wait to start experimenting again once he saw it.), and much to Roxas, Xion, and Axel's delight, the even had a massive arcade/game room/lounge. And that didn't even cover everything else they saw inside.

"And that's the tour! Does anyone have any questions?" Kuro asked in a jovial tone as he looked at the members of Organization XIII.

The group had concluded their tour of the castle and now stood in the primary lounge area for the Order. It was eerily similar in design to the Organization's own lounge area, right down to the seating arrangements and the floor to ceiling glass wall that showed off the view outside, which in this case was the massive and beautiful garden from before.

Floating in the corner of the room was the black-coat-wearing Moogle.

"Yeah, just one..." Axel said as he scratched the back of his head. "This place is freaking huge! And has everything one person could ever want. How the heck did you get your hands on a place like this, let alone afford it?" he asked in confusion.

The other members were curious as well. This castle had to have costed at least a small country with everything it had.

"Now that there is an interesting story. Let me tell you folks how I got my hands on this place." the black-haired man said before he cleared his throat.

As the leader of the Order began his tale, Xion tapped Roxas on his shoulder and moved closer to him.

"Hey, let's go check out that arcade room we saw a while back. I want to see what kind of games they got in there." she whispered to her friend in a conspiratorial tone.

"I don't know. What if they notice that we're gone?" Roxas asked in concern. The last thing he wanted was to get caught by Saïx and be punished with more work.

"Don't worry so much Roxy! And by the looks of it, they won't notice that we've snuck off for at least a couple of hours." she said as she pulled her friend into a one-armed hug while pointing at Kuro, who was getting rather into his story as he was starting to act out the scenes.

"I told you not to call me that!" he said as he sent a rather mild glare at her, prompting the ravenette to, very cutely, poke her tongue out at him.

After a couple of moments of staring his best-female-friend down, the blond eventually let out a sigh and nodded. "Okay let's go. But if we get caught, then I'm blaming you." he warned, though didn't really mean anything by it given the smile on his face.

The girl pumped her fist victoriously and grinned.

The duo then snuck off while everyone was distracted.

A few minutes later Roxas and Xion reached the game room and looked around in wonder.

One half of the room had dozens of arcade cabinets both classic and modern. From Pacman to Street Fighter, pinball, air hockey, and more. They had everything!

The other half of the room was the "lounge" area. There was a single large couch set in front of a large, wall-mounted 60" smart tv, a couple of reclining chairs, a small coffee table set in front of the couch, and what looked like nearly every kind of home and handheld console that ever went on the market. Nintendo, Sony, Microsoft, Sega, even Atari! There was even a cutting edge PC setup not too far away.

"Oh man, this place really does have everything!" the blond said in awe as he walked towards where the consoles were held. "No way! PlayStation Pro! XBox One S! The Nintendo Switch?! These just came out onto the market!" he said in shock.

"You should see what kind of games they got here." Xion said as she sat in front of a large cabinet filled with more games than they had ever seen in their non-existent lives.

It was stuffed full of games ranging from big, triple A titles, to Indie released titles, to even underrated cult classics. And all ranging through every rating in the ESRB and international rating systems.

"No way! DOOM 4, Final Fantasy XV, Overwatch, The Last Guardian, Breath of the Wild... I've never seen so many games in my life!" Roxas said in shock after joining his friend and and pulling out said games.

"Me neither." the girl said in agreement. "Hey, wanna pop one of these babies in and play for a bit?" she asked as she looked towards her friend with a grin.

"Hmm, I don't know... These games belong to someone else. And I don't think they'd like it if we played their games without their permission." the Key of Destiny said as he scratched the back of his head.

Xion rolled her eyes. "Don't be such a worrywart, Roxas. We'll just play a couple of levels on one of these games and put it back before anyone notices." she said in a dismissive tone.

The blond let out a sigh. "Alright, you win." he said in surrender." he said with a shake of his head.

"Yay!" the ravenette cried out victoriously.

The duo eventually settled on playing Super Smash Brothers 4, or as Xion like to call it, Sm4sh, and were going at each other in an intense one stock match on the Midgar stage without any items, save for the Smash Ball.

Roxas was playing as Cloud while Xion had chosen Bayonetta.

For some odd reason, Roxas felt as if he knew Cloud personally, as if he had met him before. Which was strange considering he had never played Final Fantasy VII.

The two were evenly matched with both of their characters getting close to 300% damage. But despite any blows one would land, the other would be able to recover in time to launch a counter attack.

To help the intense mood and hype of the fierce brawl, the boss theme from Final Fantasy VII was playing in the background, pumping the two teens up for their fight to the finish.

Soon enough the time limit for the match had counted down to the last thirty seconds, and neither Roxas or Xion had been able to knock their opponent off of the stage. They were easily up to 400% now.

Just when it seemed that Roxas finally gained the upper hand in the fight, he felt something brush up against his leg.

At first he thought it was just Xion trying to distract him so she could steal a win, so he ignored it. But then it happened again, so he kicked his leg with a scowl, hoping it had dissuaded his black-haired friend.

He smirked when he didn't feel anything brush up against his leg and kept playing.

But just as the Smash Ball appeared and he was about to go and grab it, something small, furry, and black jumped up from the floor onto his lap and then scurry over the back of the seat, surprising him enough to make him momentarily lose focus on the match.

Xion capitalized on this opening and got the Smash Ball.

"I have you now Roxas!" she cried out as she activated Bayonetta's Final Smash.

"Huh? Oh, crap!" Roxas cried out as he noticed what happened and began mashing buttons in a futile attempt to escape the inevitable.

The super flashy attack hit and ultimately launched Cloud off the stage, ending the match.

"The winner is... Bayonetta!" the announcer said as the victory screen popped up with Bayonetta posing seductively and Cloud, in a smaller window, clapping politely.

Xion jumped up from the couch and started doing an adorably dorky victory dance, gloating all the while about her victory.

"Hey, that's not fair! I wouldn't have lost if something hadn't jumped up at me!" the boy said with a frown.

The ravenette stopped dancing and looked at her first best friend with a smirk on her face. "I won fair and square Roxas. So there's no need to make up excuses." she said in a haughty tone.

"I'm not making things up! Something really did jump at me!" the blond said defensively.

"Like what?" the girl asked as she set her hands on her hips.

"Meow!"

The sound started the two teens and they both looked over at the empty space on the couch between them.

Right there was a black cat with the most beautiful emerald green eyes they had ever seen and... two tails tipped with small balls of blue fire?

"Meow!" the cat let out as it licked its front paw and started grooming the fur on its head.

"Oh my gosh, a kitty!" Xion squealed excitedly as she scooped the cat up into her arms and proceeded to cuddle and stroke its fur.

The cat purred under the girl's ministrations.

"Where did it come from?" Roxas asked as he held his chin in thought.

"Do you think she belongs to anyone here?" the ravenette asked as she scratched the feline's chin.

"How do you know it's a girl?" the blond asked curiously.

"I can tell that she's a girl." she said with a shrug.

"Anyway, it doesn't look like she has a collar, so there aren't any tags to show who she belongs to." the Key of Destiny said as he started rubbing the cat's head.

Just then, the two heard a voice coming from outside the room.

"Neko? Where are you?" a feminine voice called out in concern. "Where did she sneak off to this time?" she asked with a huff.

"You know how Kitten is Firebird. She's always off doing her own think." a rather cocky sounding male voice said in a nonchalant zone.

"Maybe you should try her phone?" a second, softer-spoken, male voice said in a calm, almost bored tone.

"Ah, I haven't thought of that!" the female voice said in realization.

End Theme

After a few moments of silence, a song suddenly began playing over the speaker of a smartphone that was sitting on the coffee table. The screen lit up with the image of some red-haired girl on it and a name that was too far from the camera to read properly as the phone began to vibrate.

Roxas and Xion wondered how they failed to notice it sitting there given how observant the two normally were.

Come at me,

And you'll see,

I'm more than meets the eye!

You'll think that,

You'll break me,

You're gonna find in time!

You're standing too close to a flame that's burning,

Hotter than the sun in the middle of July!

Sending out your army, but you still can't win,

Listen up silly boy cuz I'm gonna tell you why,

I BURN!

Can't hold me now!

You got nothing that can stop me!

I BURN!

Swing all you want,

Like a fever I'll take you down!

The two young Nobodies were surprised by the pretty epic sounding song that was playing.

So surprised that Xion let the cat jump out of her arms, where it then proceeded to jump up onto the table and turn off the phone with its paw.

They briefly wondered how the cat knew how to turn off the phone despite not having any fingers before they realized that the song had basically given away their position!

"Hey, it sounded like it came from the game room." the female voice from earlier said in surprise.

"Let's go check it out then." the cocky sounding male said before footsteps could be heard approaching the door.

The blond and the ravenette started to panic at the thought of being caught and quickly scurried towards the arcade section of the room to hide amongst the machines.

Just in time too, because the door opened and the figures from outside entered the room.

Much like Kuro when they first saw him, these three individuals wore white versions of the coats the Organization wore. Their hoods were drawn up, completely hiding their faces from view.

Luckily their builds and figures were enough to tell them apart.

The sole female of the new trio was tall, with a slender, curvy build, and had a rather pronounced bust and wide hips with a narrow waist. Her coat hugged her closely, highlighting her slender frame while the sleeves widened and billowed out slightly at the end, creating a bell effect.

One of the two males present was easily the biggest of them, both in height and build. While not muscle bound, he still had broad shoulders and a strong looking upper body. Overall, he had a build of someone who partook in activities like boxing and mixed martial arts.

The last of the tree was smaller and stockier of the two, but still looked rather athletic. His lithe and slender figure, along with his precise and controlled movements implied that he did things that often required great concentration. In terms of height, he was the shortest, if only slightly.

Roxas and Xion, with their hoods drawn up, watched from behind the arcade machines as the mystery trio walked up to the couch and picked up the phone.

"Well here's her phone. So she can't be too far behind." the broad-shouldered male said in that cocky, nonchalant tone they heard earlier.

The lithe male noticed that the tv was on with the Smash Brothers main menu on screen.

"Who left the game on?" he asked curiously, speaking in a calm, soft-spoken tone, almost sounding bored.

"That's weird. Think it was Neko?" the curvy girl asked curiously.

"Maybe. She's the only one who still plays on the Wii U." the broad-shouldered male said with a shrug.

"There's a second controller out. Who do you think she was playing with." the stockier male asked as he crossed his arms over his chest.

"Maybe it was Beatrice?" the girl suggested with a shrug.

"I suppose." the stockier male said with a shrug. But then he tilted his head to the side. "But that just brings up the question. Where are they now?" he asked curiously.

The two youngest members of Organization XIII stayed quiet as they crouched behind a row of arcade machines, peeking out from between the gaps as the trio talked to each other.

This was the first time they had ever seen Greater Nobodies outsides of the Organization, aside from Kuro that is. And it looked like they were around the same age as them too!

Suffice to say the two of them were rather nervous.

Just then Xion felt something rub up against her and she squeaked in surprise, rather audibly.

Panicking, Roxas slapped his hand over his friend's mouth and pulled her close to him. Pressing her back against his chest as he sat with his own back against the machine.

"Did anyone just hear that?" the calm boy asked curiously.

"Must have been a mouse." the cocky guy said with a casual shrug.

"Ugh, I hope not! I hate mice!" the slender girl said with a shiver.

"It was kind of loud to be just a mouse." said the stocky boy.

Roxas gulped nervously.

"Nya~!"

Suddenly the trio's attention was brought to the twin-tailed black cat, who was just so happening to be sitting on top of the arcade game that Roxas and Xion were hiding behind.

"Oh there you are Neko!" the girl said cheerfully as she placed her hands on her hips.

"Mind telling us why the game's on? Were you playing it with someone else?" the large male asked curiously.

The cat looked at the boy and almost seemed to give him a look before it started licking its front paw and rub its ear with it.

"Can you at least change back to normal so we can know what's going on?" the slender girl asked as she put her hands on her hips.

The twin-tailed cat looked at the hooded figure, its left ear flicking a bit before it hopped off the arcade machine and moved a couple of feet away.

After a moment small balls of blue fire bursted to life on the tips of the cat's twin tails. Soon the fire spread to completely cover the feline and began to grow large and change shape.

The now flaming cat reared up onto its hind legs as it grew larger and noticeably more human-like.

Once the transformation was complete, the flames died down just as quick as they had roared to life.

What, or rather who, now stood in the cat's place looked radically different than they had before.

What stood before the group was a cute looking catgirl around the age of fifteen with light fair skin, short black hair that was styled into a layered bob cut with short bangs hanging over her forehead and one particularly long tuft of hair going down between her eyes and hanging over her nose. She had large bright, emerald green eyes with cat-like pupils, two, somewhat large, black cat-like ears atop her head, and two long, black tails at the base of her spine. She stood at roughly 1.6 meters tall and had lithe and somewhat slender frame. Her bust was in the C range, though looked like it was closer to D, and were quite perky. Her arms were a little thin, though some subtle musculature could be seen just under the surface. And all five of her fingers were tipped with sharp claw-like nails. She had a slim waist with a flat, trimmed stomach, fairly wide hips, a cute, firm rear, and long, shapely legs that stretched on for miles with somewhat thick thighs, toned calves, and smallish feet.

All in all the catgirl looked very pretty as well as athletic.

After the initial awe From seeing such a stunning transformation died down, Roxas and Xion noticed several things about the girl.

When compared to the other three, she was easily the shortest person in the room next to Xion.

Even though she looked at ease, she had a certain tenseness in her posture, as if she was ready to fight at the drop of a hat.

And most importantly, she was very beautiful. She carried herself with a level of grace and regality that would certainly give the older Princesses of Heart a run for their money. It also helped that she was very easy on the eyes. Every part of her body was perfectly proportioned to her size and frame and every inch of exposed skin was flawless and smooth.

She was certainly someone one can admire. Even when wearing only her underwear she was-

...

Excuse me, whaaaaaaaaaaat? (in the same manner as Jontron.)

It was at that moment that the two youngest members of Organization XIII finally noticed an important detail that they should have seen right away.

The catgirl was only wearing a black strapless bra and a matching pair of black panties.

She stood before the trio, completely unabashed by her lack of dress.

The blond and the ravenette blushed at the sight, too shocked to make any vocalizations.

"Ugh, I always feels so stiff whenever I change back into my normal form." the raven-haired feline said as she did a series of stretches to loosen her muscles back up again, showing off not just how flexible she was, which was near contortionist level, but also showing off her great figure.

"Um, you're in your underwear... again." the calm sounding boy said with a sigh as he averted his gaze, not wanting to see more than he should.

"I'm am?" the catgirl said in a surprised tone before she looked herself over.

Lo and behold, she was.

"Huh, oops." she said with a nonchalant shrug. Not at all embarrassed by her unclothed state.

"Oops? Why aren't you wearing your fire proof clothes? You know, the ones Ellie enchanted for you so you wouldn't keep accidentally burning them off when you changed." the tall boy said as he crossed his arms over his chest.

"I forgot to put them on this morning." the catgirl said with another shrug.

"Yeah well, the boss sent a message earlier that we're going to be hosting some guests in our base for a while until their place it back up and running. So you better go get dressed. I doubt you'd like your first encounter with them to happen while you're almost naked." the tall boy said with a shake of his head.

"I guess you got a point there." the raven-haired catgirl said as she scratched at one of her ears, causing it to twitch a little. "Be right back." she said before she was engulfed in a plume of darkness and vanished.

Roxas and Xion sat silently in their hiding place, still trying to wrap their heads around what they had just seen.

The cat that had just showed up at their feet was actually a girl who apparently didn't mind going around au naturale.

"Sometimes I wished showed a bit more modesty." the calm boy said with a sigh as he took off his coat.

He was a fairly good looking young man with pale skin, shoulder-length snow white hair that looked somewhat ruffled, similar to Marluxia's hair, only slightly wilder and with bangs that hung just above his eyes, and a pair of deep violet eyes. He stood at around 5'6" with a lithe, athletic build. His attire consisted of a black, sleeveless zip-up vest with a wolf's head as the zipper piece, a pair of long black pants. His pants were tucked into a pair of black boots with silver linings on them and he wore a pair of black gloves. Over all of this he wore a hooded, white, long-sleeved jacket with black linings. Wrapped around his neck was a long white scarf with one end hanging halfway down his back.

"Meh, you know how she is." the taller of the two boys said as he removed his coat as well.

He was a fairly good looking young man with fair skin, short messy black hair that looked slightly windswept, and piercing blood red eyes. He stood at about 5'8" and looked very well built. His attire was something akin to the bad-ass, bad-boy archetype. He wore a skintight black muscle-shirt with a stylized skull logo on the front. He wore black trousers that had many pouches along the legs with the bottom hem of both legs being badly frayed. He wore a pair of black combat boots with red rubber soles and linings. He had a dark gray trench coat that was red on the inside and had the sleeves rolled up to his elbows. He had black fingerless 'rock star' gloves with red studs on the knuckles.

The girl let out a giggle. "I'm not complaining. If she's comfortable enough in her own skin that people seeing her without any clothes doesn't bother her, then I say let her do whatever she wants!" she said with a smirk as she too took off her coat.

She was an attractive young woman with nicely tanned skin, long, mid-back-length, reddish-orange hair with streaks of golden blonde hair intermingled through it and matching blonde bangs over her forehead, making her hair resemble fire. She had reddish-orange eyes with wisps of yellow seen within. They glowed with a fierce passion, as if they were literally made of a burning flame. Her face was slender and youthful with a narrow nose ridge and small nose, long, fan-like orange lashes, a healthy complexion with a few notable freckles on her cheeks, and finally her naturally rose pink lips, which were tinted a slight red from the spicy dish she was consuming, were full and pouty, making her quite the vision of beauty. She was rather statuesque, reaching a good 5'8", and had a figure that would make both men and women swoon at her sheer beauty. She had a curvy yet athletic build with an impressive bust that easily reached a size D, a narrow waist that naturally led to wide, child bearing hips, a firm a pronounced buttocks, wide, curvy thighs, and long, slender legs that ended in some rather small and dainty feet. Her attire consisted of a reddish-orange halter top with a matching mid-thigh-length skirt with a yellow obi sash that had a red and orange fire pattern along its length wrapped around her waist. She had long white socks and shin-length heeled red boots with yellow linings. There were two separate reddish-orange kimono-like sleeves that turned yellow towards the ends near her hands and somewhat resembled wings. And completing the look was a pair of fingerless red gloves to complete the outfit.

To say that she was pretty was an understatement.

"Please, that's just an excuse to openly perv on her whenever she isn't wearing more than a tank top and shorts!" the black-haired boy said with a smirk as he crossed his arms over his chest.

"And? I know what I like." the redhead said with a smirk and a shrug.

"Why do we hang out with you again?" the white-haired boy asked as he looked at the girl with an arched brow.

"It's 'cause you guys love me too much." she said with a teasing grin.

Just then the catgirl appeared through a dark corridor now clad in a form fitting black wife-beater and a pair of black short-shorts that hung low on her hips, just under her tails.

"Okay, I'm back. Now I think it's high time that we introduce ourselves to our guests." the short girl said as she placed her hands on her hips.

"Sure. I think they're all up in the lounge." the broad male said as he placed his hands into his pockets.

"Well, let's get going then!" the slender girl said excitedly.

The three taller teens began to make their way to the door when the cat-girl stopped them.

"Actually, we don't have to go very far to meet a couple of them." she said with a mischievous grin.

The two youngest members of Organization XIII froze.

"What do you mean?" the albino asked curiously.

The catgirl giggled. "You two can come out now!" she said as she turned her gaze towards an arcade machine.

The Keyblade wielders hesitated for a moment, contemplating whether or not to make a break for it. They ultimately decided against it since the only exit was blocked and the room rested on the third floor, so they couldn't use the windows.

With a sigh, Roxas stood up and stepped out from his hiding place, Xion following close behind him.

There was an awkward silence as the group stared at the black-clad teens.

"Hey there." the eldest looking boy in the room said with a rather nonchalant wave of his hand.

"Have they been there the whole time?" the redhead asked awkwardly, to which the catgirl silently nodded.

"I take it that they were the ones playing one of your games." the white-haired boy asked calmly, to which the bakeneko nodded again.

"So, you two gonna introduce yourselves, or did Kitten here steal your tongues?" the black-haired boy asked with a teasing grin as he pointed at the shorter girl with his thumb.

"Hey!" 'Kitten' said indignantly.

"Um, my name's Roxas, and this is my friend Xion." the youngest boy in the room said as he removed his hood.

"Nice to meet you..." Xion said politely, though she did not remove her hood.

"Nice to officially meet you Roxas, Xion!" I'm Mixikyo, the Fiery Hellcat and the Order's number XVII. But since I hate that name you can call me Koneko!" the ebony-haired catgirl said with a smile and a wave.

"I am Xuyik, the Cold Lone Wolf and member XVIII of the Order. And since our leader insists that we refer to each other and ourselves by our real names, you can call me Yuki Fenrir." the white-haired boy said in his usual calm tone.

"Hey, I'm called Modaxn, the Entropic Rebel and number XIV of the Order. But you can simply refer to me as Damon Chaos. The most bad-ass guy you'll ever know!" the large teen said with a smirk.

"Don't pay the wannabe anime protagonist here any mind." the red-eyed girl said with a playful roll of her eyes as she brushed him off.

"Hey!" Damon said indignantly.

"I'm Xonva, the Blazing Phoenix and number XIX! But everyone knows me best as Nova Phoenix, a generally awesome chick who can cook, fight, dance, and be the greatest best friend you'll ever have!" the slender girl said confidently.

"Nice to meet you all too." Roxas said with a smile on his face, already feeling more at ease with these people.

Nova noticed that Xion still hadn't taken off her hood.

"Not gonna take of your hood?" she asked curiously.

The hooded girl shrank back a bit and shook her head.

The blond chuckled sheepishly.

"She's always like this whenever she meets someone new. Don't expect her to take her hood off for while." he said as he scratched the back of his head.

"Boo... and she looked really cute too!" Koneko said with a pout.

"You saw what she looked like?" Yuki asked with an arched brow.

"Yep! She has short black hair, the most beautiful bright blue eyes you'll ever seen, and a cute round face that just makes you want to pinch her cheeks!" the catgirl said with a squeal as she cupped her cheeks at the thought of the younger girl's youthful appearance. Her twin tails swished from side to side to mirror her excitement.

"Really? Now I want to see her face!" the fire-haired girl said with a pout.

Just then the door opened and none other than Kuro walked into the room.

"Ah, there you two are! I had a feeling you'd be in here." he said with a smirk as looked at the two. "You really shouldn't wander off without telling someone. X-face was pretty pissed with you kids ditching the rest of the group like that." he said as he crossed his arms over his chest as he shook his head. He sounded more amused than anything.

"Sorry. Xion got bored and wanted to check this room out after we passed it earlier. She sort of just dragged me along." Roxas said with a shrug.

"Hey!" the hooded girl whined indignantly.

"I did say that I would pin it all on you." the blond replied with a shrug. Though it was obvious that he didn't mean anything by it with the lopsided gin on his face.

"It's fine. Seeing Saïx's expression was funny as hell, especially when Xemmy told him not to go off and ripped the castle apart looking for the two of you." the black-haired man said with a chuckle as he shook his head.

"So are you going to take us back to the others?" Xion asked nervously. She did not want to deal with Saïx yelling at her. He was very demeaning towards her, especially when he was angry.

"Nah. I was just checking to see where you two went. You don't have to go back unless you want to." the leader of the Order said as he waved off their concerns. "Besides, it looks like you've met a few of our youngest and most promising members. So I'll just leave you all to get to know each other better." he said with a grin before he left the room with a wave.

"He seems nice." The fourteenth member of Organization XIII said softly.

"Meh, he's pretty cool." Damon said with a nonchalant shrug as he walked over to the couch and jumped over the back of it to take a seat. "He pretty much let's us do whatever we want as long as we don't kill each other and do whatever missions that get assigned to us." he said with a shrug as he grabbed a remote and flipped the tv onto a different channel.

"What kind of missions?" Roxas asked curiously.

"Hmm, the kind of missions you guys in the Organization wouldn't normally take." Nova said thoughtfully as she put a finger to her chin.

"Like what?" Xion asked curiously.

"Depends on whatever we get paid to take. But mostly it's eliminating really strong Heartless." Yuki said as he sat on the available seat on the other side of the couch and snatched the remote from Damon so he could look for something to watch.

"Wait, you guys get paid to do missions?!" Roxas asked in disbelief.

"Well yeah. How do you think we're even able to afford half of the things here?" Koneko asked with a tilt of her head as she leaned against the back of the couch.

"We're basically a Private Military Company that usually takes on really tough and dangerous missions." Nova said as she planted herself in the spot on the couch between the two boys.

"Sort of like a cross between the Suicide Squad and the Guardians of the Galaxy." the fourteenth member of the Order said with a shrug.

"Oh. So how many of you are there?" Roxas asked curiously.

"Well, there are twenty official members in our group. And that's not even counting all of the Greater Nobodies we have in the reserve ranks." the redhead said as she looked at the ceiling in thought.

"There are at least another twenty in the reserves." the Cold Lone Wolf added as he finally decided to watch an old Kung Fu movie starring Bruce Lee.

"And it's their job to protect the village that's right outside of the castle." Koneko said as she moved around the couch and sat right in Yuki's lap, pulling in her legs and curling right up to him for maximum comfort.

The boy didn't even seemed to mind. He simply reached up and started scratching the top of the catgirl's head, right behind her left ear.

The bakeneko closed her eyes in content and began to purr.

"I never thought that many of us were around." Xion said in awe. For the longest time she thought that the only Nobody Masters that 'existed' were the members of Organization XIII. And less than a day later she had learned that there were well over double that number out in the worlds.

"You'd be surprised what you'll find out in all of those worlds kid." Damon said with a shrug as he watched the classic action movie. "Who know's what lives out there?" he asked casually.

"So what now?" Roxas asked curiously.

"Now we just hang out until Kuro comes back to show you to your rooms." Yuki said as he looked towards the blond.

"And after that is dinner! Plus, guess who's cooking tonight?!" Nova asked excitedly.

"Great! And I just got feeling back in my tongue after the last time you cooked dinner!" the black-haired boy teased with a grin.

"Hey, I warned you that my five-alarm chili was hot!" the redhead said with a pout.

"True... but that doesn't quite excuse the rest of the food being spicy too." Koneko said with a playful smirk as she looked at the slender girl through one eye.

"Oh come on guys! My cooking's not that bad!" the older girl whined as she crossed her arms over her chest.

And that was how it was for the rest of the afternoon. The group of teenagers sat around talking, joking, and doing whatever random things that caught their interest.

Seeing how well they got along with these new Nobodies, Roxas and Xion couldn't help but wonder what the other members of the Order were like.

It looks like things were going to be very interesting with a house filled with over thirty-plus Nobodies.

End of Chapter 2

Author's Notes

Titano Man: This took longer than I thought. To be honest, I didn't plan to update this story so soon. But seeing how many people not only read the first chapter, but actually took the time to follow/favorite and leave an actual review or two, it actually inspired me to keep this story going! Thank you all for the support! Depending on how well received this chapter is I'll likely update this story again sooner. Now just a little forewarning, this story has no real plot. As such, I would love to have suggestion on whatever wacky/crazy shenanigans you want to see happen. Especially since this is a comedy/slice-of-life parody story that will make fun and play around with certain tropes one would normally see in sitcoms and other slice-of-life shows. And while not much didn't happen in this chapter, I used it mostly as an excuse to introduce the characters that you will all be seeing the most in this story. I plan to introduce the rest of the Order in following chapters one or two at a time, with various excuses as to why they hadn't shown up sooner. N-Es-Weiss, I've rambled for long enough, please, follow, favorite, and review this story and or me and I'll see you guys again next time on,

We're All Out of Nothing!

Koneko: See you later, nya!
