"Superior? He's starting to remember." one of the Organization members said.

"Yes, I know of that. This may cause some trouble for us." Xemnas said, "Marluxia? You are assigned to Castle Oblivion are you not?"

"Yes, Superior." Another hooded figure answered.

"Axel shall join you. We need to separate them." Xemnas said, "But first I need to have a little talk with our youngest and newest member. You are all dismissed."


"Axel, you are assigned to Castle Oblivion, Marluxia shall be in charge, Larxene, Lexaeus, Zexion, and Vexen are stationed with them as well. Marluxia, take Naminé with you. You are to leave today." Xemnas ordered, he called for a meeting and all the residents of the Castle That Never Was were there, including Serena. "Number thirteen? I need to speak to you privately."

"Yes Superior." They all said in unison, and began to open portals to their rooms. Yet again, Serena had that little painful problem, and yet again Axel and Roxas wondered what the matter was.

"We'll never finish Serena's room in time!" Roxas exclaimed.

"Yes we will!! We'll start as soon as you get back from your private meeting with Mansex." Axel said as they walked towards Rena's temporary room, he Stressed on the words 'Mansex' and 'Private'.

"OOooh!! Wonder what they'll talk about! Or should I say what they'll do?" Serena said, catching Axel's drift.

"Oh la la! It must be something special." Said Axel, he smirked when he saw Roxas fuming and Serena laughing.

"Yeah, for It to be private and Xemnas to announce it in front of everyone..." Serena continued.

"SHUT UP!! Shut up, shut up!! I'm too young for this!!" Roxas yelled.

"Fifteen is the new nineteen Roxas; you're not too young for this." Serena said it as if it was a fact everyone knew.

"True, true..."

"Then what are you? The new thirty? That means you're too old for this!"

"Nineteen is nineteen no matter how you look at it Roxie!" Axel said.

"Roxie!!" Serena exclaimed and began to laugh as Roxas got all miffed and went through a portal with his hood up.

"Think he'll be pissed when he gets back?" Serena asked.

"Doubt it. He'll be blushing like mad and start telling all about how they kissed and how they-"

"Whoa! Whoa! Slow down there cowboy! I have an overly active imagination!!"

"reaally??" Axel asked, a mischievous glint in his eyes, "picture this... a grassy field full of nothing but beautiful flowers of every color, a lone tree standing in the middle, you stand there in it's shade enjoying the view... when you see... XEMNAS FROLICKING BARE NAKED!!!!"

"AAAAAAAAAH!! MY MIND!! IT'S ON FIRE!!! HEEELP MEEE!!"

"Axel! What did you do to the poor girl?" an approaching hooded figure said.

"Nothing Luxord, just kidding around." Serena said.

"Hey you're getting good at guessing now!! Congrats!!" Demyx said, as he too, approached.

"NOOO!! THE HAIR RUINER ARRIVES!!" yelled Serena jokingly.

"Hello to you too." Replied Demyx as he walked away and Luxord vanished.

"Well. That was rather interesting, don't you think?" Axel asked, and Serena nodded as they continued their way to the room.

"So? What did you do to get Xemnas to make you leave?" asked Serena once they arrived.

"More importantly, how do I know you?" he asked and folded his arms.

"I don't think I should tell you, I think you'll be in more trouble if I do." She said and looked away.

"Trouble? What's that got to do with anything? C'mon tell me how I know you."

"Forget it, I'll tell you later once I'm sure of my theory."

"Which is?"

"aah fine! I'll tell you. a year ago, when you had a heart and you lived in a world called radiant garden, we, you and I, were very very close, we were going to be married on the day of my birthday, but you left with Demy to see what happened to his brother Even, you left the day before my birthday. You promised you'd be back, but you never did. So, I went to look for you, and found you in the basement in a room with the number eight on it, you were half gone, I saw it happen to you, I saw... the heartless take away your heart and I could do nothing to stop them. So now, I've been going from world to world trying to find you, or at least find anything that shows you're alive, I found a girl called Naminé and she told me that you were alive and you are a Nobody and where you are. That's how I arrived here." she said, she was on the verge of crying, and as soon as her tears began to fall, Axel wrapped his arms around her. "Even though I know you no longer have a Heart, I will get it back, even though I know you can't feel, but I'll never loose hope that somewhere somehow you still feel the same way you felt."

"So, that's why I keep getting nightmares, with you always in them! I kept seeing the same scenario over and over again, black and yellow blobs, pain, and a girl standing by the door watching it happen and... Guilt. I felt guilty." He said, recalling his dreams.

"Black and yellow blobs are heartless, pain is when they attacked, the girl is me, guilt... I don't know why." She said, her sobbing had ended a while later. "I don't think you expected the reason of my familiarity to be so sad."

"No, I didn't. But I put two and two together and figured some of it out." He said.

"By the way, Xigbar, Xaldin, Demyx and Roxas all remember me. But Roxas is from Twilight Town." She said as he nodded. Soon after, Roxas appeared, but he looked thoughtful as if he was in his own little world.

"Roxas? What's up?" Serena asked.

"Nothing." He replied, half heartedly.

"You're a bad liar Roxas." Axel said, "You know better than to lie to us."

Roxas sighed, and refused to tell them what's up, he had a lot on his mind. He didn't even understand it let alone be capable to explain it to them.

"Xemnas... told me about my other."

Axel looked stunned and Serena gaped at him, neither could say anything, so Roxas chose to continue.

"it all makes sense. I always felt different, not the emptiness type of different, the different type of different. When I was at Twilight Town and even now... I always felt different." He said, with his head lowered. "Xemnas said he'll be visiting you guys at Castle Oblivion, but he banned me from going there, saying I'll get the maximum punishment if I go, when I asked him why, he said it's because Sora, my other, doesn't know about me."

After a long while of silence, Axel spoke up when Roxas stood up and opened a portal.

"What are gonna do?"

"I'm going to... Twilight Town; I need to clear my head." He said as he walked into the portal, sparing them one last glance. "You can come if you want to."

Axel jumped up and ran towards the portal; he turned around and looked at Serena, as if expecting her to follow.

"What about you? Coming?" asked Roxas.

She walked through the hallways of castle oblivion trying to find Marluxia, she needed to ask him about Naminé, yet the 'man' was nowhere to be found. Axel had taken off with Roxas, she told him she needed to find Naminé to ask her a few things, although she actually wanted to see whether her theory was correct or not.

"Marluxia? May I speak to Naminé in private?" she asked, she found Marluxia in the thirteenth floor; the highest there was.

"As long as it's nothing to do with anything she's not supposed to know." He said as he strode across the room and out the door. Naminé was seated on a white chair next to a white table. Nothing new about the whiteness, she thought.

"Hey, Naminé!" she greeted as she approached the girl. She looked up and gave Serena a faint smile.

"I knew you'd be coming soon!" she said.

"Yeah..." she said, as she seated herself on a chair near Naminé. "I've come up with a theory."

"Oh? About Axel's..."

"Yeah, you said you know but you can't tell me, right?" she asked, and saw Naminé nod in response, "and that your ability only works on people related to Sora, right?" another nod, "Axel is related to Sora through Roxas, and also because he's gonna meet him now, right?" another nod, "that means that for some reason, the organization made you erase Axel's memories, right?"

"Yes, because, Axel's emotions and memories were too strong for him to believe he was a Nobody, he even escaped so he could come back to you. His memories of his feelings for you were unbelievably strong, stronger than the others'. So the organization made me erase them, saying he would become a useful member." She said.

"What am I supposed to do?" Serena asked after a while, more to herself than to Naminé.

"Leave." Naminé answered, and continued, "Now that he remembers you that means he will never give up on you. Go and find a way to get his heart back!"

"I will, but... it's hard... to leave... I've finally found..." Serna began, but a tear ran down the left side of her face.

"SERENA!! Marluxia told me you're...here..."Axel began as he burst through the door; he trailed off as soon as he saw Serena look away with tears in her eyes. "Wh...What's...?" He walked towards Serena hurriedly, "Serena...? Serena... What's wrong?"

She stood up as his arms reached out to her. She looked up at him as another tear fell down from her eyes.

"Axel... I have to leave..." she said, she tried to walk away, but he grasped her shoulders keeping her from leaving.

"What?" he asked in disbelief, "What?" he repeated coldly, "why do you have to... leave?"

"I need to... find your heart." She said as she looked up at him, looking him in the eye.

"Why... wh..." he tried to say something but was too lost for words, "Leave? To where?"

"I don't know! I have to figure it out." She said, as another tear fell. He wrapped his arms around her.

"Promise me you'll come back." He said, "Promise!"

"I promise." She said, as she dug her face in his chest, "and I'll promise Ill get your heart back."

She looked up at him as they parted; he gave her a faint smile as he wiped her tears away.

"Naminé?" Serena called, "could you... erase Axel's memories of me? Temporarily?" Serena asked as her heart broke just thinking about it. Naminé nodded and stood up, Axel backed away looking stunned, as Serena gave him a small smile and said,

"If I don't do this you'll probably try to find me, or try to come with me, and I won't be able to say no to you. So, it's for the best. And I swear we'll see each other soon..." Serena said, she gave him a small peck on the lips and said. "I'll miss you."
