Roxas barely even acknowledged me as I sat beside him. He gave a dissatisfied grunt as I began to prod him for answers. "Do you know that Number Five is dead?" I asked.

Roxas simply shrugged out his answer "Was a prick anyway. . . What do I care? Just go away and let me sunbathe in peace."

His answer was shocking on several planes. Roxas is not usually so outspoken, particularly when speaking of his superiors. It now seems that he has an obsession with tanning himself. "If you didn't care about him why did you show up at the interrogation of the superior? Also why do you want to sunbathe so badly Roxas? It seems to be all you think about lately."

"If you must know," He snorted out sounding rather snobbish, "I want to look sexy for Namine. She said that without a proper tan, I'm completely undesirable. As for The Superior's interrogation, it was fun to watch him squirm. Now go away or I'll do to you what I did to Larxene."

He finished on a threat. How adorable he has become, and in case you couldn't tell, I roll my eyes at this. Namine, I wonder what she's up to? Does she have a part in this? It would explain the gap in Xemnas' memory. If she is involved, is she merely a pawn of another member covering their tracks, or is she the mastermind? Just in case, I need to start confusing her at her own game. After all I am a master of illusions. I think it's time for me to have a word with the little memory witch.

I opened a portal to her room, but when I got there she was missing. I decided to search for her, and I found her in Vexen's laboratory. She was watching him toy with dangerous chemicals like a predator with its prey. I knew the look in his eye; Vexen was going to do something EXTREMELY dangerous! I grabbed Namine and rushed out of Vexen's lab. I got us to a safe enough distance, and then an explosion rendered itself from what's left of Vexen's trashed room of scientific research.

I walked into the epicenter of the explosion and I found Vexen attempting to pick himself off of the floor, literally, Vexen had somehow cloned himself. Four Vexen's were in the room, one on the floor, Vexen two was picking up Vexen one, three was in a corner contemplating what had caused the event. I found the final Vexen sitting underneath his desk with headphones in his ears. He was looking like this month's cover boy for "Teen Angst", and I took one of the ear buds to listen. He was listening to "Science" by System of a Down, no wonder he was acting like that.

I gathered the four of them up, and it seems each of the clones had a personality trait of the original. I could not tell them apart, which is complicated. With some difficulty I got the four of them to put their heads together, which after a quick potion, was followed by the rest of them. Vexen clucked a sigh of relief as I promised not to tell anyone about this particular failure. I have just broken that promise, but I trust you will be kind enough not to mention it to him.

"Vexen What do you know about Lexaeus' death?" I asked him. Since he looked clearly shocked I told him about Xemnas' earlier interrogation.

"The superior has clearly lost his mind, and If you are willing to listen to his story. Then you are just as insane." Vexen stated this without a second thought. I know he holds high regards for the superior and would never speak ill of him. More proof that things are extremely fishy here.

"Since you don't believe me I will simply have to show you. Come with me." I instructed Vexen. As I left I looked for Namine and she was nowhere to be seen. I was wary of Namine following. I decided to create an illusion of Vexen and myself going to the meeting room. Meanwhile we continued on to my real destination.

"Where are we going number six, I want to know now!" Vexen demanded.

"You will find out soon enough, but I need secrecy. Number V is dead, and I need to find out who killed him. Everyone is acting strangely and I suspect Namine is toying with their memories. Either she is an unwilling participant, or she is behind it all." This was my reply to him. He of course did not believe me, but it mattered little since we were in my room.

I got the tapes from under my bed, and I played the one marked "Grey Area". Vexen observed as the tape ran through. When the tape ended he could no longer hold back his shock. "It is apparent that Namine has tinkered with my memory. If she has tinkered with mine, then she has certainly tinkered with the memories of the others as well. The only thing is to find out who has not had their memories changed."

"I think you and I are the only ones that are aware of the pieces of the puzzle. I need you to act like you don't know anything, especially if Namine comes asking questions. I don't want us all to lose every ounce of our memories." Vexen nodded in agreement, and returned to his laboratory without a word.

I checked in on my illusion, by now they have gotten to the meeting room. I had the fakes take the long route. I was watching the illusion, and I couldn't see any one following the illusion. I simply cancelled it, and if my theory was correct, I would have to visit all of the members. I guess I'll go check up on Axel.

I walked to Axel's room, where I found him without his Chakrams that always seemed to dance by his side. "Axel, where are your Chakrams? I almost never see you without them. "

"I can't find them . . . I've looked everywhere. Gotta keep my head up . . . got it memorized?" He gave his trademark catchphrase along with the finger pointed at his brain. He was attempting to hide his worry, but he could not fool me, the master of illusion.

"If you haven't found them then you haven't looked everywhere Axel. I think I know where to find them. Follow me." I instructed The Flurry of Dancing Flames, and he obeyed. I opened a portal to Namine's room. "Try summoning them here." Axel complied, and they materialized in his hands.

"How did you know they were here Zexy?" Axel asked.

"I think Namine took them." I stated it plain and simple.

Axel wagged his finger, and said "Blaming little Namine for stealing my Chakrams, TCH TCH TCH Shame on you Zexy."

"I'm Serious Axel! Haven't you noticed that everyone is acting weird? Xemnas called a meeting that he himself, or anyone else in the organization for that metter, did not attend. Lexaeus is dead, and everyone blamed the superior, except Saix, who was . . . extremely hospitable to him. Roxas defeated Larxene in a battle, and had her scared stiff curled in a corner under a desk. Your Chakrams went missing, and where did they turn up. . .here. I'm thinking Namine knows a lot more than anyone else. If you don't believe me I have proof. And by the way Axel, don't call me Zexy, its quite annoying." I stated my argument, and Axel's suspicions of me stealing his Chakrams were still present, but he was curious. He walked with me to my room, I looked over my shoulder. I was sure we were being followed, but no one was there, no matter how many times I looked. I guess was just being paranoid.

I showed Axel both of the tapes. He did not remember being in the interrogation of the superior, but the scene from the grey area where Xigbar was poking fun at Axel, and he was just taking it, he remembers. "I asked him where my chakrams were. He was like 'I just don't know. Don't act like I care about that though. As if. Go find them on your own fire boy, tata.' And he disappeared. I just wanted to punch him. Security camera footage doesn't lie though. Got it memorized. If the tape says I did it, then I did it."

Axel took this in stride, and I'm not surprised in the least. This seems to be how he deals with everything. "You need to keep this quiet, and don't tell Namine."

"Don't tell Namine what?" A voice made itself evident, and I looked in the direction to find its proper owner. There stood Luxord, and he was propped up against the wall. "I heard your story back in Namine's room, and I followed you here. The deck is shuffled, and the cards, all dealt out. What's left is to see that they tilt in your favor. I'll keep things quiet."

"We were never here. . . Got it memorized." Axel spurted his typical quip, which by now has surely lost its charm, at least in my book. He has used this term as long as I've known him, and the first time I heard him use it, I praised his wit. But now I consider it a character flaw of his. Not to arouse suspicion, and prevent others from following. I decided to use portals to get around the castle. Besides, I needed to give my feet a break. I closed my door and locked it. I laid back on my bed, and I fell asleep.

I awoke with a start. Someone had gotten into my room, but the door was still locked. I sat up, and looked around. There she was, and I called her out of her hiding place. "Come on out. . . Larxene."

I bet you weren't expecting that huh? LarLar's in Zexy's room. What is she doing in there? Is she looking for someone, or searching through his things? If she is looking through his things will she found the tape in his drawer? (I hope not, because Zexion would die, and I don't want to do that to him.) Who's behind all this anyway? Will I ever stop asking questions? Please wait patiently for Chapter four of Organization XIII Oddity.
