In the days before the calamity that would begin in Castle Oblivion, several things happened. A new member was recruiting, raising the count to thirteen. Near simultaneously with that event, came an unusual girl. The Superior declared she wasn't truly a Nobody. As if he knew what he was talking about. A fragment of a Princess who had never truly lost her heart. It made no sense, the pure of heart losing their heart to darkness? And yet... Nobody-like traits were present.

Regardless, she was seen as not fit to be an official member. Her abilities were being looked into. For now, all she needed was a babysitter. Which is where Zexion came in.

Zexion sat next to the table in the library, flipping through his Lexicon, seeing if any of the information had changed or been added - enchanted books, how they were, liked to change their pages - and the mysterious new girl, not fit to be a member, sat next to him. Namine was drawing and coloring in a boy with brown spiky hair, and was now intently working on coloring in areas she deemed needed to be red. (The rest of the colored pencils stay hidden in her lap.)

"So, who's that? Did you make him yourself?"

"Mmmnn...neh." Namine mumbled and shook her head. She was respectively quiet and shy all the time. Zexion liked that.

"No?"

For a while, Zexion watched her draw with curiosity. Then a familiar shaped object was drawn in his right hand. Long like a sword, shaped like a key - this was the Keyblade bearer! With perhaps a little too much excited, he jumped to interrogate.

"Who is he?"

Behind the strands of baby blond hair, the girl's eyebrows furrowed, deep in thought, before answering, "...Sora."

"Where is he?"

She shrugged, "He's coming..."

"From where?"

She put down her pencil and gave Zexion an odd look that pouted, 'Why are you bothering me?'

"Would you like me to draw where he is?"

Zexion nodded, getting up from his chair, "Yes."

"Where are you going?" She gasped.

"To tell the Superior how helpful you've been."

Innocently came a request, "...may I have some crayons, and pastels, too?"

Zexion looked at her with a raised brow.

"I can draw scenery faster if I have smooth mediums...." She looked back to her picture of Sora and went back to finishing him.

The sixth member of the Organization left immediately.

So, clearly, no pairing involved. That would be weird. *glare*
