She is not confused. She knows where she wants to go.
I do?
She questioned to herself, still no emotion on her face. But, she had decided to go with him that he would help her more because he seemed to understand. He knew things she didn't and that would help her. Many people knew things she didn't, or which she didn't understand and yet none of them seemed at all helpful.
She did not look at the girl again, instead as he turned towards her she stepped forward some more. Showing no fear. Nothing as she went through the portal that he had created. What's fear? She asked herself as she went through. She didn't know where it led, yet did not fear it. Did not falter or show anything for that matter. For she did not know what they were.
She did not look back to see if the man was following her or not. He would probably enter once he dealt with the female. And he was the one guiding her after all. |

Because you don't convince me one bit. she thought, but hadn't the time to say it aloud. The girl had gone trough the passage he had opened by then, and it was too late for her to change idea.
Selia, on her part, wasn't generous enough to follow her. She made the choice, she's going to have to cope with it.
And she didn't want to go trough that portal anyway, because it didn't look safe to her; especially to her, her mind provided. It gave her a feeling of uneasiness, which was the reason she had been so vehement in her attempt to keep the girl from going.
"You won, then."

Xemnas gave her one fiendish smile before turning around and walking towards the Corridor of Darkness. The human girl was wise to not get in their way. Now with the speed bump out of the way Xemnas could now show Katsumi her new life as a Nobody.
The problem with most new Nobodies was that they still tried to attach themselves to their hearts which was a silly dream since their hearts were no more. Their hearts vanishing into the darkness never to return back to normal, such is the way of a Nobody as well. Their fates was utter Nothingness, but Xemnas chose to accept the Nothingness and become one with it.
This is what he intended on having Katsumi do as well. He intended to show her the power of Nothingness as a sort of apprentice so to speak. Someone to follow in his steps and pledge complete loyalty to only him.
Xemnas now fully inside the portal vanished into the darkness as the portal began to swirl around and quickly disappear into the sky.
Moments later the two Nobodies appeared in the World that Never Was right in front of the castle that Xemnas ruled over.
"Today your new life begins." he said to her sounding very enthusiastic about it but having a hollowed emotion behind it.

Katsumi heard no more as she walked into the portal. She had really gotten nowhere with her conversation with the girl, and thought since she had gotten some answers from the guy that he would help her. Yes, the girl had helped her but not in the way Katsumi felt she needed to be helped. She felt nothing towards the girl, so she just left her like that.
Soon she as well as the man who she did not know of his name yet reappeared in some place Katsumi had never seen before. Well, actually she hadn't seen a lot of places. Just the port and the place where she had 'appeared'. As they appeared in front of the castle, Katsumi looked up at it. Her bright green eyes full of curiosity. But she still had that blank look upon her face as she stood there.
Today your new life begins.
"New...life..."
She said out loud, repeating what Xemnas had said to her. She continued to look at the castle wondering what lay ahead of her. What answers she would get. She would also probably ask alot of questions for she barely understood anything. Yet, she knew how to speak and react. How to behave like a human but to not behave like one at the same time. |

"I think it's time to give you your name. After all the one you once had is no longer needed. Do you remember what your name was?" Xemnas asked curious to know if she even remembered something as simple as her name. It was interesting to see a Nobody such as her to forget pretty much everything about themselves. Memories are about the only thing that give a sense of being to a Nobody. It's their only link to their so called humanity. Even Roxas who was a Nobody to someone who became a Heartless for only a short while was able to remember most things.
Xemnas would pretty much have to play the role of her father teaching her like she was an infant. But this would actually be helpful for him since she would be more or less easy to manipulate. She would soon learn to only listen and obey him. Unlike most of his former organization members she would put to good use.

Do you remember what your name was?
Somehow she knew what a name was. Yet, didn't understand the essence of a name. What it truly meant and why people were meant to have names. Normally she never asked anyone their name. But, by which would you call someone? You couldn't just call them 'you' for they, if you were in a large group of people would most likely not know who you were talking to. They would all most likely answer. So to call someone you need a name. A name might be a complicated thing or a simple thing, but for this one Nobody she could hardly understand what it really was.. She only knew what hers was. Well, what she had named herself.
"I do not know my true name... but a lady who found me named me 'Katsumi' " She said to him as she continued to stand there, not even looking his direction. Just staring into a great void of her mind. She then looked over to him, her face masked with no emotion. "...." She looked at him blankly, figuring what to say. She barely spoke, but when she did it was usually a question. It was never rare for her to ask a question, some may find it annoying but how could one understand without asking questions. "What is this place?.." She asked him. Her voice void of any emotion. |

"Katsumi." Xemnas said to himself as he wondered whether or not to change it or keep it. Since it wasn't her original name and instead a new one Xemnas decided to just let her keep that name. "It suits you well. So that will be your name from now on."
He looked at her as she was lost in her mind curious as to what had caused her memory loss. What was she like when she had a heart? She probably wondered that every minute of her life as a Nobody. But it would be best for her to never find out who she was since there was the chance that if she did, she would end up betraying him. Her past life wasn't important anyways as far as the Superior was concerned. She was a Nobody now and that was what she would be the rest of her life.
Katsumi then asked him a question once brought out by her own curiosity. It was one he could easily answer with just telling her the name of the place where they were but for her to really know Xemnas would expliain it to her. To give a more dramatic description Xemnas waved his arms around as he told her about their world.
"It is where beings who have been abandoned by both light and darkness go to call home. Where our kind can find a sense of being. A world that resided inbetween both light and darkness themselves. The World That Never Was, a world that is the Nobody of all worlds."

Katsumi listened and watched as he repeated her name, saying it as if he was decided something. If it was fitting for her or not, but she wouldn't be able to know that. What others were thinking, nor would anybody. Nobody would. Weird considering she was a Nobody. But, what exactly was a nobody. She didn't know, but maybe by going with this man she could understand some things. Things she did not understand of as now.
She listened blankly as he told her about where they were, what this place was. He seemed to almost start a bit dramatically as he waved his hand across, motioning towards what was infront of them.
The World That Never Was, a world that is the Nobody of all worlds.
So was this place where she was meant to go? He had led her here, so maybe she was. Maybe their meeting was not accidental or a coincidence but by fate they had met or by some other means. Was this the place where she might find who she once was. Where she had come from. Had she come from here? She looked over to Xemnas as he had stopped explaining and she had stopped looking around. "Is this where...I will find who I once was?" She asked him, her stare still blank beneath her bright green eyes. |

Ah the question almost all Nobodies seek out their entire no-existent lives to find the answer to. But why bother with that? They need only to look ahead and find out who they will be instead of who they were. Xemnas placed his hand on the head of his new protege almost as if he was petting her.
Looking at Katsumi with false caring eyes, "Here is where you will discover who you were meant to be." was all that he told her.
He took his hand off her head and preceded to walk down the bridge made from the Keyblade bearers. "Come, you have much to learn about yourself."

Katsumi sunk her head low as he placed his hand upon her head, as if petting her. She didn't like it one bit. It was like when a mother did that to a child, or a older sibling to a younger sibling who did not like it one bit. She almost glared at him as he did that. She did not want to be treated like a child. Yeah, she might have alot of learning to do but she was not a CHILD.
He removed his hand and walked forward, to the bridge that lead to the castle. She followed behind him, staring blankly at first. Just standing there but then walking a bit fast to catch up to him. She still did not know who he was. But, she would find out in time. For now her mind was repeating what he had just said to her.
Who..I was meant to be..
She repeated inside of her mind, walking a few steps behind him. Her eyes wandered around, examining the area even more formally than she had before. Yet, it all seemed the same yet different as she stepped forward. A different perspective of the same area. It intrigued her.
A place.. where I will discover who I was meant to be...
Even as she walked behind him, she even seemed like a child. She didn't understand the meaning of what a child was. So how could she know what it felt like to be one, when she had never been one herself. Or knew what one was.
"What..can I call you?..?" She asked, not sure how to exactly put it. She might as well call him, Father. The way he was sort of treating her, like a lost child. But, she wouldn't know that. Didn't know that. Maybe never would. |

Xemnas could see that this was all so new to Katsumi. As she looked around aimlessly at the castle he couldn't help but wonder what was going on in her head as she tried to make sense of everything. Xemnas could fix all that quickly so she would be able to know what things were. But she would need to learn that certain things were unecessary for a Nobody. The only thing she would need to know was what Xemnas wanted her to know.
She looked over to Xemnas and asked him for his name. Or at least what she should call him. The Superior would have been an assumed choice to be called but Xemnas chose to have her call him by his name but to show authority he changed it up a bit.
"Master Xemnas, that is what you can call me." Xemnas answered not feeling anything from being called that. But it would be an appropriate name for her to call him. They were now at the front door which was larger than life. With a wave of his hand the door opened up enough for the two Nobodies to enter. Xemnas stepped aside to let Katsumi in first so she could see the inside of the castle.
"After you Katsumi."

[16]Master...
....Xemnas. She did not know the meaning of what Master meant. Yet, it was something to call him so surely she would call him that. Would call him that, for she knew did not know any better. Nobodies seemed to be oblivious to some things around them, they did have the knowledge just did not know about it. And that was the case for this Nobody. She couldn't have known any better to follow him, because her mind was a simple thing. It was full of knowledge, but she had not accessed it. Nor knew about it. After you Katsumi.Her bright green eyes looked up to see that they were standing infront of the door to the castle. It was huge compared to her. She had seen it earlier, glanced at it as she observed and took in all what was around her. She was an Observer. And possibly, no she was now a follower. The huge gates opened with a flick of the wrist. As if Master Xemnas had commanded it to open. Or had he commanded it to with some magical force practically unknown to Katsumi. Master Xemnas had stepped aside to let her walk in first. Ladies first.Without a word, Katsumi stepped through the huge gates looking upwards as she walked underneath. But then she stopped as she walked past the thresh hole from outside to inside and looked at the beauty magnificence of the castle. It intrigued her so, that she just stood there. Anyone else would of probably had their jaw dropped, but not this Nobody. Her eyes just wandered aimlessly. Then her head slightly turned towards Master Xemnas. "Its so...." She couldn't think of the word. She said this with a vacant look on her face. |

Xemnas turned over to Katsumi. "I know." he replied having a good idea as to what kind of word she wanted to say. Words couldn't be said to describe he magnificence of what he built. The Castle That Never Was could only be something of dreams. But not for Xemnas, with the power of Nothingness anything was possible.
"There is more for you to see while you are here, but for now we will need to jump ahead onto other important things. Besides you need to pick your room." A Corridor of Darkness appeared in front of the two, Xemnas motioned for Katsumi to go in first.
He would have to see what type of Nobody she was before starting out in her training. Since there were so many different classes of Nobodies it was hard to pin point which specific class they fell into sometimes. Hopefully Katsumi was a sorcerer type which would make things run more smoothly for the superior.

[She's more of a Archer typer,
than a Mage type but w/e. Lol]
She looked over at him again, her lumeniscient eyes tracing her away from the castle and to Master Xemnas, it was so long to say but to a Nobody that didn't really matter. It's like he knew what she had in mind, what she wanted to say but she could not put it into words. Into a single almost meaningless word. Yet, many words held a lot of meaning. But, to this Nobody they did not really matter.
There is more for you to see while you are here
More to see.... What if she wanted to see it all now, within the blink of an eye. To see every single nuke and cranny of this castle. But he said she couldn't. Why Was what came to her mind, but her face showed nothing of the sort. Her actions did not show much. Maybe in the future they might but for now, as long as she was not knowledgeable of the knowledge she held then she would be more of a child figure.
Besides you need to pick your room.
"M..y.. r..room?" She asked. She did not know the essence of a room. What it was. Well, she did know what a room was. But, her room. She did not know the meaning of it. Since she had come to life she had learned few things, which of she had learned what a room was. For example the place they were in now was probably a room, a big room at that. I..have a room?" She asked as she looked at the darkness that had appeared infront of them. Much like the first one she had walked through. She stared blankly at it, not sure whether or not to enter. Surely he wanted her to enter. Yet, she didn't budge. She knew it was safe. Yet did not go inside. Waiting for something.... |

"Whats stopping you from going in?" Xemnas asked curious as to her sudden hesitation. Was she overwhelmed with his last statement about her choosing a room? It didn't seem like something that important for her. Nobodies didn't have, or I should say shouldn't have any type of material attatchment to anything. Perhaps she just wasn't aware of what rooms or at least to have a room was like.
"Don't you want to choose where you will stay in?" he asked her. Xemnas was quite impressed with this one. She truly knew what it meant to be a Nobody even if she herself didn't know it. Her ability to not show any emotion at all, most tend to put on an act to give emphasis to what they were saying, but not her. Ktsumi just said it like it was not needing to give any facial expressions or jestures. She seemed to behave more like a Nobody than Xemnas himself.
