Chapter 6: Staff Meeting

"Larxene…" Lenny said to her suddenly. "I have a serious question for you…"

Larxene glanced up from her book to see Lenny staring at her.

"If I say 'Go away' will you leave me alone...?" She asked.

Lenny shook his head.

"Fine…" She sighed. "What is it?"

"…..Do you ever take showers?" He asked.

A few seconds later, he found himself on the ground, with Larxene pinning him there and four sharp kunai's, brimming with electricity pointed at his throat.

"Now…" She said. "I am going to ask you this calmly… What possessed you to ask me that?"

"W-w-w-well…" He stammered. "I-I-I was thinking that since your power is electricity and all…since water and electricity don't exactly mix…I was wondering if it was even possible for you to take showers because of that!"

Larxene stared at him for the longest time, before she could tell he wasn't lying… She slowly pulled her kunai's away but kept him pinned to the floor.

"Well…considering that's actually an intelligent question…I'll let you live…" She glared. "And to answer that-"

Before she could answer that however, a brief flash of light suddenly shot out to their right. Both Lenny and Larxene turned to see Xigbar suspending himself upside down in the air, and with a camera in one hand.

"HA!" He cried. "I've got blackmail!"

Larxene and Lenny both looked at each other; both could tell that one could easily misinterpret their current position. Both then got up and charged at Xigbar, who instantly warped away.

"XIGBAAAAR!" Larxene screamed.

Suddenly a crackle was heard as Xemna's voice rang out over the intercom, echoing thru the castle.

Attention all Organization members are to report to the meeting room immediately, that's an order from the Superior.

Larxene gave a loud groan. All members of the organization dreaded going to meetings.

"Bah… I'll kill him after the meeting…" Larxene said, heading off.

Since Lenny didn't know where to go, he decided to follow Larxene.

"Don't follow me…" She said flatly.

"But I don't know where the meeting room is…" He replied.

"…Fine..." She said. "Just keep a distance of ten feet from me and we'll have no problems..."

"Are you SURE this is going to work?" Demyx asked as he walked with Zexion to the meeting room.

"Positive…" He replied in a monotone voice. "We all look the same with our hoods down, so that wretched girl won't be able to recognize us."

Both Nobodies had their hoods down over their faces, hoping to avoid being attacked by Faith on their way to the meeting room.

As they past by an open door, Faith suddenly shot out and pounced like a cat and glomped Demyx, sending him crashing into the floor and causing his hood to fall away from his face.

"DEM DEM~~!" She cheered as she hugged him.

"GAAH!" He cried. "How did you know it was me? We all look the same with our hoods down…"

"Woman's intuition…" Faith replied. "That….and I heard you two talking when you were coming…"

She then looked up and saw Zexion was running away. Faith grabbed Demyx by his hood and then dragged him across the ground as she tore after Zexion.

"ZEXXXYYYYYYYYY!" She cried.

"LEAVE. ME. ALONE!" Zexion screamed as he ran.

Soon, all the Organization members were present in the meeting room. It was a large round room with fifteen large chairs all set in a circle, each were arrange according to their number.

Larxene took a seat in the chair marked 'XII' while glaring at Xigbar who occupied the seat marked 'II'

Faith dragged both Zexion and Demyx in by their hoods and then dropped them as she sat in her seat as number 'XV'

Lenny sat next to her in seat 'XIV', looking at Demyx and Zexion as they took their seats.

"Well… you've had a productive day…" Lenny commented.

"Yup!" Faith smiled innocently. "What about you? How are things with you and Namine?"

Lenny blushed slightly.

"Um…g-good…" He said. "I have another therapy session tomorrow…"

It was then that Xemnas entered and took his seat. Soon all the members of the Organization were seated and present.

"Now…let us begin…" Xemnas said.

Xemnas then pressed a button his chair and to Faith and Lenny's amazment, all the chairs began to rise into the air. They saw that the chairs were attached to large pillars which rose up from the ground and lifted them into the air.

The chairs soon stopped moving, and each was at different heights depending on the member's status in the organization. Xemnas being the highest, and Lenny and Faith being the lowest (As they were new)

"Now…our first order of business…"

-
From there, the meeting was a bore-fest for Faith and Lenny. All they got out of it was 'Blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah Kingdom Hearts blah blah blah blah blah Keyblade blah blah blah blah Become Whole again'

Lenny then looked down and saw just how high up they were. After looking down for a moment, he raised his hand.

"Excuse me…" He said. "Question from the floor…er…chair…"

"Yes Number XIV?" Xemnas asked.

"…Why are we so high up?" He asked.

Xemnas was silent for a moment before replying.

"Do you remember what I said to you the day you joined?" Xemnas asked.

"…..That people who ask stupid questions don't last long?" Lenny asked.

Xemnas nodded.

"Keep that in mind before you ask a question…" He replied.

As Xemnas was about to continue, Faith raised her hand.

"Yes Number XV?" He asked.

"Why is everything white?" She asked.

Xemnas just glared before ignoring her and continuing on. As he continued, Xigbar looked at Larxene and tauntingly waved the camera at her. Larxene sneered before taking out a kunai and throwing it at the camera. Xigbar only watched as the Kunai flew thru the air and shattered the camera to pieces.

Xigbar then held up copies of the picture and smirked smugly. Then Larxene raised her hand.

"Superior…" She said. "Can I PLEASE have permission to kill Xigbar?"

"Permission denied…" Xemnas said flatly.

Larxene growled and muttered to herself while Lenny snickered.

"Don't laugh Newbie…" She sneered at him. "You're in the picture too…"

Faith looked at Lenny and arched a brow.

"What is she talking about?" Faith asked.

Xigbar then folded up one of the pictures into a paper airplane and sent it flying to Faith. Faith opened it up and then showed the picture to Lenny.

"…..Why was she pinning you to the floor?" Faith asked suspiciously. "What were you two doing?"

"It's not what it looks like, I swear!" Lenny protested.

"Excuse me… Number XIV and Number XV…" Xemnas suddenly said. "I don't recall giving you permission to talk amongst yourselves…"

Both Lenny and Faith looked at him.

"I don't want any more interruptions from you two…" He said flatly.

"Fine…" Lenny said. "Just one more question…"

"What is it THIS time?" Xemnas asked, beginning to get annoyed.

"…..Would a fall from this height kill me?" He asked.

Xemnas leaned forward with an ominous look on his face.

"….Do you want to find out?"

Lenny leaned backwards in his seat, already seeing what he was getting at.

"…..No…" He replied.

"Then stop asking stupid questions!" He yelled. "You're making me angry!"

Faith then raised her hand.

"….If Nobodies can't feel….how can you be angry?" Faith asked.

All fell silent as Xemnas paused before answering.

"You know what?"

He pressed a button on his chair and a portal opened up in the back of their chairs, sucking them in.

"You two are dismissed from the meeting…"

The portal dumped Lenny and Faith somewhere in the castle. The two slowly got up from the ground and saw that they were no longer in the meeting room. When they realized this they both smiled and high-fived each other.

"Alright! It worked!" Lenny cheered.

"I told you asking stupid questions to get dismissed from the meeting would work!" Faith smirked, as they had planned this ahead a few days in advance.

"So…what do you wanna do now that we have the place to ourselves?" Lenny asked.

"….Mess with people's rooms?" Faith asked.

"Sounds good to me…"

They both summoned up portals and then walked thru them to wreck some havoc.

As soon as the meeting ended, Roxas returned to his room and opened the mini-fridge on the end table…only to notice something was missing.

"….Where's my Sea-Salt Ice Cream?" He cried.

He then looked out his window, only to see a box of Sea-Salt Ice Cream sitting on the top of a pillar that was outside his window.

Roxas opened his window and slowly pressed up against the side as he shimmied across a narrow ledge towards an even MORE narrow beam which was connected to the pillar which had his ice cream. He carefully tip-toed across the narrow beam and reached the pillar and grabbed the box of ice cream.

"Who put it all the way out here?" He asked.

He then heard the sound of a window closing. He looked back and saw that his window was closed! He carefully navigated back to it, only to see that his window was locked from the inside. And looking at him from the OTHER side of the window was…

"LENNY!" Roxas screamed angrily.

Lenny gave a small wave and then casually left his room, leaving Roxas to rot outside.
Roxas groaned as sat down on the narrow ledge.

"Oh well…" He sighed. "At least I have ice cream…"

He opened the box….only to see it was empty. Inside it was a small piece of paper which read 'All's fair in love and war, and I LOVE to drive you crazy…'

"….I…am going…to KILL him!" Roxas seethed.

Meanwhile, Demyx returned to his room, only to find something missing.

"W-where's my Sitar?" He cried out, grabbing his head.

He looked rapidly around his room for his missing weapon/instrument. Though all he found was a note which read 'If you ever want to see your Sitar again, then come to the room marked 'XV' '

Demyx tore thru the castle at lightning speed to retrieve his lost weapon/instrument.

"Hold on baby! Daddy's coming!" He cried as he ran to the room marked 'XV'

He tore open the door, only to see it sitting on a chair in perfect view. He ran up to it and hugged it tightly. But it was then he heard the door close. He turned and saw Faith standing there grinning sadistically.

"You…." Demyx gaped. "You're heartless!"

Faith slowly stalked up to him and gave off an evil smile.

"Of course I am…" She smirked. "I'm a Nobody…"

Demyx agonized screams could be heard thru the entire castle as the night went on.
