Disclaimer: I do not own Kingdom Hearts, it belongs to Square Enix.

A/n: This story takes off when Larxene joins up with the Organization XIII. The story starts off before Kingdom Hearts 358/2 Days and leads up to where Kingdom Hearts Chain of Memories starts off. Has a bit of Larxene x Marluxia and Larxene x Demyx, but the fanfiction is mainly focused on the pairing of Larxene and Axel. I really hope you enjoy this. Please review.

My name is Larxene

Darkness… Darkness… It's everywhere where I look. Surrounding me, eating away at my soul. I'm scared, terrified even. I can't see myself anymore. My hands have faded but I keep trying to wave them in front of what I presume is my face. It's gone. Everything that is me… no everything that is Relena is dead now. She's gone and now I'm drifting. Drifting through darkness, alone. I can't say for sure how long I was drifting, but I was sorrowful. I wanted it to end. If Relena is deceased then who am I? All I can remember is Relena. Time drifts by then suddenly I can't remember that name anymore. It's gone, completely out of thought, reason, and essence. Wait a minute. Something is wrong with me, no, something is missing from me. It's cold now. Why am I so cold? I have no body, yet I feel this chill. But that's impossible. I'm just air, a gentle breeze, or perhaps a cold drop of rain descending to the ground. Is this the afterlife? Am I in heaven or hell? So many questions left unanswered for I am the only one here. I'm alone… so alone. Longing for someone to be near me, wanting someone to talk to. What did I do to deserve this horrible lonesome suffering? More questions, no answers, just a mind preparing itself for insanity. Just as I felt my suffering would go on longer a bright light flashed before me, and I was whole again. Wearing deep blue jeans that fit tightly against my hips and thighs, a black tank top of leather material also fitting against this new form of body I had gained. Standing before a large beige colored mansion behind the front gate stood this reborn creature. Something seemed to be buzzing around in my head and at the moment then suddenly a dark form appeared before me.

Standing much taller than I, the figure's body and face exclusively covered from my sight. I didn't speak. I didn't know what to say, but I…

"Do you want to know?" he spoke in a gentle yet soothing tone.

As soon as those words escaped his lips my head quickly nodded once. His hand slowly lifted towards me. I felt no fear, no pain, just hope. Blurring slightly in front of me was the name Relena. Relena… Relena… Relena… It doesn't mean anything to me. It has nothing to do with me, but why do I get this feeling from that name. A feeling fear and pain. I hate it.

"You feel nothing… You can feel nothing… Do you want a meaning?" He asked me, once again speaking in that gentle tone.

My electric blue gaze slowly shifted towards the ground as I nodded slightly. Just then the words began to move around my form before then cloaked male held his hand up in front of me once more. This time the name was different. It wasn't mine, or was it? I decided to speak up for once.

"Larxene…" I spoke in a soft tone still oblivious to what was going on, but I wanted a meaning. The name has slowly faded but it never left my mind. It was engraved into my memory.

"A new you… Larxene you have been reborn into a life of darkness." He paused for a moment as two dark masses appeared behind him. "You are a nobody, an empty heartless shell, and you are number XII of the Organization XIII. Do you understand, Larxene?"

Should I trust him? The one thought that buzzed in my head, but he said I can feel nothing. I'm a nobody now. "I understand…" I replied calmly.

A dark smile could be seen with in the darkness of his hood. His hand lifted slowly as the others slowly moved his hand towards me, ordering the two behind him to approach me. One of them seemed to be more built than the other two, but all three of them had their face hidden. The two circled me, looking me up and down.

"First female member, huh?" The smaller one asked while stopping in front of me, leaning closer towards my face. "She's a bit short if you ask me, man, but you're always right when it comes to picking out new members."

Short?! I'm not short!

There it goes again, that buzzing in my head. I could feel my hair starting to stand on end. This feeling was constantly buzzing around in my head. It won't stop now and I can seriously feel my hair standing up. The bigger male stood behind me staying silent until I felt a light tugging at my hair then suddenly the buzz grew louder then stopped shortly afterwards.

"And what do we have here?" The form behind me spoke with an accent that was very noticeable.

"Antennas?" The one in front of me coughed out a laugh as he took hold of my hair, tugging lightly at the two extended strands of hair on my head. "Nymph like…" he chuckles as he tugged at them.

"Will you two cut it out already?!" I shouted loudly as lightning struck the ground next to me. I quickly glanced over towards it, gasping in total awe of this random act of nature. My eyes glance up towards the sky, but only to see a dark cloudless sky. "What in the world?"

"Whoa, this babe's got an attitude, but the sparks are flying. So what do you think, Xaldin?" The figure in front of me spoke to the other behind me.

Attitude?

"Looks like no. XII is going to be our 'Savage Nymph'. Seems like a fitting name for her, but please offer me your input. What do you think about her having such a title, Xigbar?" He leaned off to the side looking back towards the other cloaked male figure.

"Buggy looking hair and the element of lightning. Savage Nymph sounds great to me. And how about your thoughts, our great superior?" Xigbar turns back towards the nameless cloaked figure.

The cloaked figure nods while fading away slowly. "No. XII Larxene the Savage Nymph… perfect. I'll send No. VIII to finish the job of introducing her to the others and filling her in on what this organization is about..."

As soon as his body completely faded away the other two faded shortly after him, leaving me alone once again. I waited there for No. VIII, leaning against the front gate of the mansion. Irritated from Xigbar pestering me by tugging my hair, but at least the buzzing in my head had stopped after that bolt of lightning. That's my element? Bringing my fingertips towards those two loose stands of hair, I felt an awkward buzzing sensation. As my hands drop down in front of my eyes I see sparks of electricity surrounding both of them. This power… feels good. It's strange, but it feels electrifying. I can feel a smirk growing on my face as my hands tighten quickly, making a fist. Suddenly small dark sparks of lightning danced about my knuckles, forming four kunai knives in each hand. The knives matched the color of my hair and eyes. A bright yellow and a gorgeous electric blue sparking constantly with an electric current. It had finally came to me as I gazed deeply at my new weapons that I, Larxene the Savage Nymph, would eventually need to use this new power of mine very often. Time went on as I stood outside the gate, later deciding to practice this new skill of mine when suddenly a dark figure appeared before me, holding another dark cloak within its grasp.

"You must be No. XII?" The figure spoke with a joyful sound in its voice. The figure slowly lifted its hands then pulls the hood down to reveal a fairly young looking man. Emerald green eyes gazed at me with small marks underneath them as he stepped forward, head covered in a mess of spiked red hair. "My name is Axel, A-X-E-L got it memorized?" he asked while holding the dark cloak he carried with him out towards me.

Taking it cautiously I gave him a quick reply. "Axel, huh? You must be No. VIII, am I right?" I asked while slipping into the cloak that had fit perfectly against my form. It was so warm, hot even, but I loved the feeling.

"Yep! That's me! No. VIII Axel of Dancing Flames. So what is your name, Nobody?" he asked while standing tall right in front of me.

Nobody? Oh yeah… That's what I am now.

"No. XII Larxene the Savage Nymph, L-A-R-X-E-N-E, got it memorized?" I laughed softly getting a feeling of joy from this moment, but the Superior said I cannot feel so this feeling must not be real at all.

"Hm? Very funny, Larxy. I guess things will liven up and maybe for once be a bit more interesting with a female around. This place has always needed a woman's touch." He smirked as he looked down at me only to see an electric current moving about in my eyes. "Oh? And she's feisty too? Another plus in the fun area."

His emerald green eyes narrowed over me as small flames burned within them. My eyes would widen on sight of this. He quickly took my right hand holding it up in front of him as he slipped his free hand behind his back, pulling out a pair of dark gloves. Placing one in his mouth, he slowly slipped the dark leather glove onto my right hand. Fitting each of my fingers into the right position. A slight blush appeared on my cheeks, too busy watching his actions to notice. His eyes glanced from my hand to my face, grunting on sight of my blushing he quickly pulled the other glove from his mouth. Taking my other hand he slides this one on quickly then let's go.

He's strange, but in a good way. My stay here maybe very interesting for me if he is around.

"There you go. Now then, we have much to do so let's hurry up and get this over with. I'm sure I'll be put to much more work later." He sighed while lifting his right hand off to the side of his form. A blur of darkness appeared, forming a dark portal. Axel then pressed his hand against my shoulder, giving me a light shove in the direction of it. "I'm sure you'll fit in just fine here."

As I stumbled into the dark portal I ended up in a very extraordinary place. It was a castle surrounded by vast fields of grass. Looking up towards the fortress in total awe, I stumbled back into the grasp of No. VIII. His hand would swiftly wrap around my waist, giving me the small push I needed to regain my balance. Suddenly he took my hand, leading me off into the castle in a hasty manner, gripping my hand tightly as we made our way. We stopped once we approached the door. He was still holding my hand and by then my face had already turned as red as the hair on his head.

This is so awkward for me. The one they call their superior told me I have no feelings. Am I really a nobody? Maybe I should ask Axel. I wonder if he has feelings…

Once I open my mouth to speak he simply shook his head as if he were reading my every thought. Heaving a soft sigh I turned away from him while he opened the door. We had entered the castle and to me everything seemed pretty damn dull. The entire room was white. No sign of color for miles besides the hair on our heads. Finally the redhead decided to speak to me.

"This is your new home. Oblivion Castle is where you'll be staying. You're number twelve so that means you'll be staying in the room with a number twelve on the door, which is also on the twelfth floor." He then took another deep breath, by then I figured he had a lot to explain to me so I took this time to focus on him. "Your job is here. You'll stay here until we get a mission that's when we will need your special powers, alright, Larxy?"

That pet name slowly dug its way under my skin. The more I thought about it the more it began to bug me. "That's Larxene… and I understand, but what is our goal? Why would my powers be needed? What is Organization XIII trying to achieve?" I asked him, not being able to hold back my urge to place my hand in contact with his shoulder.

He glanced at my hand then gave me an awkward look, allowing me to touch him none the less. "Our goal is to reach Kingdom Hearts. We'll be able to find our hearts then we can be whole again…"

That's when it hit me. My heart was missing and it explained everything that I was going through. My body feeling so cold, my cloak being so warm, and the feeling of my heart beating within me was gone. Placing my hand over my chest I went to double check this fact. "It's gone…"

I can't believe it took me until now to realize I don't have a heart!

Just then Axel flicked my forehead, awakening me from my short trance I had slipped into. As I rubbed my hand against my forehead he moved on forward. He stopped for a moment then motioned me to come over to him. Making my way to him I couldn't help but put a small sway in my hips. I could tell by the way he lifted his brow at me that he noticed it. He smirked lightly before placing his hand on my head, messing my hair up gently. This action only upset me, but once I looked up to glare at him his face was only a few inches away from my own, smirking at me with such confidence.

"Aren't you a cute one, huh? But anyway listen up. The superior says once we get our hearts we can feel again and yada yada, stuff like that, alright!?" He explained while taking my hand once more, roughly tugging me into the side while opening a portal.

With a quick flick of his wrist, Axel had shoved me into the portal, following not far behind me. It was as if he were teasing me for my showing a minor attraction towards him, or at least that's what I thought it was. On the other side of the portal there seemed to be a meeting in progress. Thirteen tall chairs placed up against the walls of this circular room, with cloaked members sitting down staring at me. All of their faces where hidden within the deep darkness of their hoods. Thirteen chairs yet two people were missing. Seat number one and seat number thirteen were empty. Finally Axel stepped forward, placing his hand carefully on my shoulder, giving it a light squeeze before a dark mist began to cover my body. I began to panic, looking around quickly and making small cries in my frustration, and just as I began to freak out even more, I sat high up in the twelfth seat. Sounds of chuckling filled the room as the other's laughed at their frightened new comer. There it was again, that buzzing sound roaring loudly in the back of my head. My own embarrassment was provoking my element. Just when I thought a huge lightning bolt would strike down on all of them Axel quickly spoke up.

"Gentlemen, I give you the first female member of the Organization XIII, No. XII the Savage Nymph Larxene." He spoke loud enough for everyone in the room to hear him. Although I had found it odd that he was sitting on the right arm of my chair. His hand moved to messed my hair again only to be zapped by the electrical current moving about between my antennas. Axel quickly moved his hand towards his lips, lightly nipping at his injured finger. "As you can see she's a feisty one so I wouldn't want to get on her bad side or she may in fact kill you by accident. This is the first time we have a female among us men so let's keep that in mind when we approach her. We don't have enough time to have a role call because I'm pretty sure I am interrupting his meeting so we'll just be on our way."

And with that our bodies phased out of the room quickly, reappearing in front of a door with the number twelve engraved in a silver plate, hanging up on the door. I figured that this was my room. Once I opened the door, just as the rest of the house was, my room was completely white. There was on small full-sized bed with a small table next to it. A white lamp sat on top of the table and across the room was a beautiful vanity, holding up a fairly large mirror. On the vanity sat a brush with brown bristles and a white handle.

This organization has no sense of style what so ever. Then again I was never one for bright pretty colors… or was I?

Axel stood there for a moment with his hands on his hips, looking about my room before taking a few steps backwards. "I'll leave you to get settled in. I'm sure I'll be needed at that meeting so I'll send someone else to your room to get you, alright?" He said with a cheerful tone in his voice, not even giving me a chance to reply. Waving his hand for a brief moment, Axel then disappeared from my sight.

End of Chapter one

Updated author's notes. 6/30/16

After years of leaving this fanfiction unfinished I plan on going back and adjusting some of the chapters. I'm only going to make very minor changes, more so correcting errors and touching up in a few places. Given the time period between when I started writing this and the new release of games I plan to focus on keeping this as close to the original plot as possible. I believe when I started writing this years ago was to explain the reason behind Larxene's behavior while adding an explanation to her flirtatious nature towards Axel. Again this is only my personal view on the matter which I will try my best to actually complete it, if anyone has the desire to continue reading this.
