kh_drabbleI... I don't think this is what the challenge-maker had in mind, but... it's the first thing that popped into my head...
Challenge: [098] – Mother/Father
Title: Origins
Word Count: 337
Spoilers: Nope, unless you don’t know where Nobodies come from.
Characters: Axel, Dusk, Roxas
Note: Constructive criticism is always welcome! ^_^;
“Can I help you?” Axel asks, glancing down at the shivering Dusk by his feet.
Yes sir… My liege… uh… Axel barely resists rolling his eyes – seriously, while it was nice sometimes to be called by all those formal titles and whatever, some days it just seemed like they were sucking up a little too much.
Wait.
He could tell when lesser Nobodies were sucking up now? Oy, he needed to get his heart back, fast.
Oh, right, the Dusk.
“Yes?”
… Sir, the Dusk tried again, where do… Where do Nobodies come from?
Axel raises an eyebrow at this.
“Why are you asking me? I’d imagine the first six would know more about this than I do.”
Because… I-VII frighten me.
...A good enough answer. Though they couldn’t feel fear in its entirety, their minds usually had enough self-preservation instincts left to make them wary of things.
So, Axel sighs and shakes his head.
“Alright, fine. I’m surprised you don’t know this already, but…” he clears his throat, “When a Heartless takes somebody’s heart, sometimes the person losing their heart really doesn’t want to lose it. You can understand that, right?”
The Dusk nods, so he continues, “When someone tries hard enough to hold onto it, when their heart is very strong, they leave a Nobody behind. And those with the strongest hearts and will turn into Nobodies like me, and those who aren’t as strong turn into Nobodies like yourselves.”
The Dusk nods again, I see… So… A Heartless and a Somebody?
“Yeah, something like that. Now don’t you have work you’re supposed to be doing?”
The Dusk bows, thanks him, and darts away, and Axel completely forgets about the incident until a few hours later, when Roxas ports back to the castle after only leaving to kill Heartless a few minutes prior.
Before he can say anything, Roxas is taking off his hood and with hardly any change to usual tone asks, “Axel, why is there a Dusk asking Heartless if they’re its mother?”

My first post here! Hope I didn’t mess anything up… :D;
