 Ahhh, another day in the Mountain. The teen inhaled a breath of fresh air and laughed. He was feeling rather happy today, despite the fact that he had been worrying constantly about the full moon the past few days. He needed to have fun in his life right? Look on the bright side of life! He had a wonderful mother, two great siblings and one grumpy father, which he loved anyway. And countless friends and family!
Xanul lay down on the grass, grinning up at the sky. Even the weather seemed to be mirroring his feelings. Nothing would go wrong today.

 Perhaps it was a good thing that on this very day, the young Xanul was destined to meet one of the nicer of the Organization. Stuck in his own younger mindset, number nine was always up for a bit of playful exploration. On this particular day he had taken to amusing himself by chasing butterflies, occasionally mixing in a waterform butterfly for added fun.
One of said waterform butterflies fluttered it's way over towards Xanul, and it's creator happily bounded after it before falling short at the sight of the young teen. Stopping dead in his tracks, Demyx quickly dismissed the water butterfly and edge away. New person..new person...while he'd love to make more friends the idea of leaping into a new situation both amazed and frightened him. Usually, fear won out.
But maybe, just maybe, if he backed away now he'd get away unnoticed! Or at least earn himself a bit of ground yes? The teen didn't look all that frightening, but if there was one thing he learned upon his return it was that caution was something he could never have enough of.
It was just odd how he couldn't shake the...dare he say...feeling that he should know who this was. A half connection of sorts, but nothing he could make sense of right away. At least it kept him from full out bolting in the other direction.

Well, it was a good thing that Demyx wasn't meeting Xanul's dad, for Saix had been grumpy for the past few days or maybe months, ever since they had hatched. Then again, Xanul loved his father as he was.
Perhaps it was a good thing he didn't look much like his father then? Only the golden eyes, silver chain and blue and yellow markings hinted that Saix was his father. It would be more obvious if it was Swax, she had Saix's X shaped scar, or even Xelon, who wore a black jacket that resembled the one the Organization wore. One thing for sure, Xanul wasn't as scary as Saix. Not during the full moon, that is.
Light ears perked up at the sight of the water butterfly and he followed it curiously with an occassional flick of his tails. As it disappeared, Xanul blinked, and rubbed his eyes with a paw before staring around again. Where or where did it go?
It didn't take him long to spot the blond kitsu though, and the teen loped up to him with a grin. "Hello!" There was a smile of delight on his face as he observed the black coat Demyx was wearing. "Are you in the Orgy? I mean, since you wear the coat and all, but then again, Riku wears it, but he isn't, at least that's what he said but..." Suddenly aware that he was babbling, the teen shut his mouth with a sheepish grin, then thought for a while before opening it again. "You must've created that water butterfly right! I know! You're the water guy! The Melodious Nocturne!" For some reason, he couldn't remember the Nobody's name. It wasn't easy to memorize all thirteen names and titles, even if Xianthe wanted to test him.

One thing that had never crossed Demyx's mind was the other members of his Organization now having...kits. Not that he didn't love kits, but the idea was just so...foreign. Apparently he'd have to get used to it pretty quickly.
As Xanul approached, Demyx looked ready to run. The enthusiastic greeting however, set him back at ease...at least a little bit. If the teen somehow wanted to hurt him he'd really doubt he'd greet him with a grin.
"Erm...hi! And....WHAT?!"
The Nocturne jerked back at the question, looking rather startled.
"From what Luxord tells me, I'd rather want to avoid anything named an orgy."
After his initial shock seemed to wear off, Demyx gave a nervous fidget and thought it over.
"I'm...in Organization 13, but that other name is hardly proper for it, and in fact is just plain rude."
Nine watched as the other babbled. Riku? Water guy? At the mention of his butterfly, Demyx idly had another swirl into existance and hover around. When he wasn't fleeing in terror he did enjoy showing off.
"I....don't mean to be rude myself, but exactly how do you know my title? I'm pretty sure we've never met before... But um...yeah! I'm Demyx, or the Melodious Nocturne, or simply number nine. And you are?..."

Demyx would have to get used to it, for Xanul was also related to Xigbar, who also had kits. Half-Nobodies were running around, and Demyx would meet others, sooner or later.
"Ah?" Dark tails drooped unhappily. "I'm sorry. And oh! Number Ten is here too?" Golden eyes danced happily. "I've gotta tell Daddy! And Xianthe! And maybe Uncle Xigbar! But then again, they might know already~"
"I'm really, really sorry. I didn't mean it! Really! Daddy never said anything when I said it..." The teen pouted. Eyes lit up at the water butterfly and he batted at it playfully before turning back to to answer Demyx's question. "Uhh, Xianthe told me. Daddy doesn't say much bout the Organization except that the fact that he's number seven. I mean, if Xianthe hadn't said so, I wouldn't know that he's actually second in charge, which is rather funny, seeing that he's number seven, but Daddy's cool enough, I guess~" He grinned. "Oh yeah! You're Demyx! Can't remember all thirteen names, besides Daddy's of course. I'm Xanul!" He said cheerily, silver chain jangling on his chest.

"Daddy? Uncle Xigbar?..."
Demyx was looking more and more confused by the second. This little one was somehow related to Xigbar?
"Yeah, Luxord is around, and Axel, and I think I saw Lexaeus lurking around too."
Luxord and Axel he had never really lost contact with, but the others? Well that was another story.
The drooping tails made Demyx ease up a little. Geeze, he didn't want the kid upset at him, he just didn't want to have someone blabbing around that he took part in orgies. It might attract the wrong crowd afterall.
"Look...it's okay. I just...that word doesn't correctly represent what I'm a part of okay? It's a long name, I do admit, so just drop the y and call it the Org and you'll be fine."
The Nocturne smiled, trying to set the kit back at ease.
"I promise I'm not some big meanie or something."
Nine let the other talk on, trying to be polite. Now that he was sure he wasn't going to be attacked he was relaxing into his usual goofy self. Despite this, things this Xanul was saying just...weren't adding up for him. Who was Xianthe? How did this Xianthe know -anything- about him? And if this kit's father was second in command....
"Your father is...S-saix?!"
Blue tails swished at that, Demyx trying to make sense of it. Saix...had kits? Just...just HOW?
This was rude however. Xanul didn't need to be questioned as to how his grouchy father suddenly decided having kids was a good thing. It was just a huge surprise and the blonde would be certain to babble to Luxord about it later.
Xianthe on the other hand?
"Erm...s-sounds like you have an awesome family! If I may ask...who is Xianthe? I've never met someone by that name, and it's...kinda weird she's talking about me, you know?"

At Demyx's confusion, Xanul turned around to face him with a grin. "Well, he is kinda my uncle, since his mate his my grandma's sister. Maybe it should be grand uncle, or great uncle, but I'm not sure." The teen shrugged, sitting down.
"Daddy said Larxene's here too. Though he told me not to go to her if I wanted to know more about the Organization, I wonder why." The teen frowned. Even if he met said kitsu, chances were, Xanul would take in every word she said. Look at what happened with Xianthe...
"Okay!" Xanul said cheerily, dark tails waving about. "I didn't mean to offend you though." He added, apparently delighted that this Nobody wasn't as grumpy as his father.
"Uh-huh!" Xanul grinned, "There's not only me though, there's Swax and Xelon too! My siblings! I'm the youngest!" The three kits were delighted at having Saix for a father, even though he showed an apparent lack of care.
"Uhhh, she's a Nobody too." The teen informed the blonde, frowning slightly as he tried to recall what Xianthe had told him. "So she kinda knows the Org, but I think she doesn't really know you guys as well. She said you guys have cookie bakeoffs, and Daddy doesn't participate because he's on a diet, and Axel and Roxas ran away coz they didn't sell cookies anymore. " He sighed, then added as an afterthought. "Mommy laughed when I told her though." Ayako found it highly amusing that Saix, of all people would ever want to go on a diet, even if he got all roly-poly, and she had laughed again, imagining him all fat.

Just...just wow. He certainly had a bunch of kitsu to meet didn't he? But he could worry about that later. One step at a time, and Xanul was shaping up to be a fine acquaintance.
"Larxene...is not the most friendly one around. You can trust me on that one."
Water and electricity simply did not mix. Demyx felt a shudder go down his spine at the thought of meeting up with her again.
"Hey, don't worry about it. You didn't mean it or anything, it was just a...surprise."
Sitting back on his haunches, the Nocturne raised a front paw and used it to direct around a small water butterfly. The motion seemed distracting, but in all honesty it kept the fidgety blonde focused. His paw might be moving, but green eyes were focused intently on the teen as he talked.
"H-heh...you have siblings? Are they all as nice as you?"
This...Xianthe sounded interesting. Not in a good way however... Someone going around telling lies was not a very pleasant thing. Nine would find a way to deal with this later, maybe Luxord would have an idea.
"Those...are some interesting stories. Wish they were true, I would have loved making cookies."
Demyx smiled, trying to show he wasn't annoyed at Xanul for the stories. It wasn't his fault if he heard false stories afterall.

The teen was quite delighted that he met a member of the Organization, an actual one, in fact, that was nice! Quite unlike his father, ah but still. Daddy was daddy.
Hmmm? So that was it? This Larxene was an unfriendly one. His brow furrowed, distantly remembering that Xianthe had said something about Larxene hurting people with a weapon, but shrugged it off. Oh well. Xanul thought it was pretty cool though, she was the only girl, and yet she was quite tough.
Xanul grinned at the mention of his siblings. "Uh huh! Swax looks a little like daddy, she has his X-shaped scar and blue hair. Anddd, Xelon, my older brother, has black gloves and coat. We're all nice." He assured Demyx with a grin as he capered after the water butterfly in delight. "Exceptttt, during the full moon." Golden eyes flooded with sadness but the teen shook it off with a smile. No use worrying about it now.
Ah well. The cookie story was untrue after all. He had suspected it from the way Ayako had reacted, but still! It was a fun thought. "She doesn't really like you guys, I think. I think it's because she said the Organization didn't let her in or something~ She didn't want to meet daddy." He added the last sentence with a slight shrug.

Someones one had to wonder how Demyx had even ended up in the Organization. He was usually overly friendly, and it took quite a bit of provoking to get him to fight. Still, behind the smiles and false emotions lurked a Kitsu willing to fight to the end for his cause.
Drawing that out was the tough part.
Still, his personality was pretty good for making friends, and the blonde could hardly ask for more than a world filled with acquaintances.
"...The full moon?"
The Nocturne tilted his head, moving the butterfly to flutter around the teen. Ah, so even that part of Saix had passed to his kits...
"Ah...I understand. I guess it's just something you gotta live with huh? At least full moons only come around once in a while."
Leave it to Demyx to find the good in the situation. He kept up his smile, trying to reassure Xanul.
"A bit odd to make up stories about those you don't like, but oh well... I have no idea who she is or why she'd be mad at us, so I guess I shouldn't be bothered by it."
The words were simply to assure Xanul. Nine was still irritated, but there was no use in worrying the teen over it.
"Soooo....you like swimming?"
Demyx gave a hopeful grin, perhaps if Xanul liked swimming the two could take a quick dip before parting ways for the day.

If anyone ever asked Xanul that question, he would have cheerfully answered that the Organization couldn't all be grumpy people like his daddy. Besides, he didn't mind meeting a nice Nobody(not that he met many) for once.
"Mmhhmmmm. Only once a month!" Still, the whole family wished that the days would drag longer. The full moon was a rather sensitive topic to them, what with Remus and Aidan being werewolves and Ayako's kits having side effects. The teen's golden eyes followed the butterfly with great interest.
Xanul shrugged. "She's rather okay when you get to know her, I guess." He was rather grateful to Xianthe for teaching him about the Organization...besides the lies.
"Welll...it is kinda fun." He flashed Demyx a grin. There weren't much things he didn't find fun though.

(Xanul is a lovely adult <3 )
"I guess"
Demyx nodded his agreement. That finished they were free to move onto funner things.
"Well then! If you don't have some other more important place to be...would you like to take a swim with me?"
Nine waved a paw, dismissing the little water butterfly fluttering around the pair. It was taxing on one's mind to keep a water summon around for so long, even one as tiny as the butterfly.
"The water is nice this time of year, and I promise I can dry you off before you head back home..."
Ah, water manipulation was such a wonderful tool at times. Who needed to air dry when you could just will the water off yourself?
"I'd understand if you can't though, so don't feel bad if you have to say no..."
It was, after all, Saix's kid. It was quite possible Xanul was very busy in life...even at this age.

(Thank you. biggrin <333)
The teen shrugged with a grin. "I wouldn't mind!" Besides, he wasn't exactly busy, except he was supposed to practice magic, but what the heck? He might as well have some fun, right?
Xanul raised an eyebrow. "Coooll!" He said enthusiastically. "And it's fine! Really!" If Demyx was worried about Saix's reaction to this, well then, he needn't be. Saix would rather his children spend time away from him, then to bother him as they always did.

"Great!"
Tails swishing excitedly, the blonde led the way by bounding off ahead. Once the Nocturne was comfortable in a situation it was apparent that he was more like an overgrown kit than an adult member of the Organization.
Despite his excitement he was sure not to stray too far ahead. It simply wouldn't do to lose his company before arriving at their destination.
"You'll love it, the water's not too deep or anything..."
Demyx babbled on throughout the trip, happily going on about water and everything related to it. Soon enough they arrived at their destination and nine dove right in...coat and all.

Xanul laughed, then followed Demyx with a few leaps and bounds in his step.
He watched rather hesitantly as the other dove into the water...with his clothes on. Oh well. He could dry himself off. A few droplets of water splashed onto his fur and with a grin, he dove in. "This is fun!" He yelled, splashing some water at the adult.
