Thanxs again for all the kool reviews!!!

Hope ya'll likinh it so far!!

So let's start with chaprter 7!!!


"Looks like you're getting a little concerned about Sora," Larxene called to Axel.

"And what about you, Larxene?" he asked.

"Well, good question," she said. "I'm more worried about why you're interested in him."

"He became a Heartless. And those who become Heartless…"

"They lose all consciousness and free will and become slaves to the darkness," Larxene called.

"But he was different," Axel called.

"Different you say?" Ilexi's voice came as her and Marluxia came into the room. "I'd say he's just got a hell lot of luck."

"But you know as well as I that he maintained his own free will even after becoming a Heartless. He's only the second person ever to do that," Axel added.

"The power of the heart…" Larxene hissed. "So you're interested in the heart of the Keyblade's chosen one?"

"You may say he is you may say he is not. That depends on the reason," Ilexi intervened.

"Isn't the mission of the Organization to understand the mysteries of the heart?" he called in a matter of a fact tone getting only Larxene's mischievous giggle.

"He's moving on," Naminé whispered being heard by everyone.

"To what extend now," Ilexi asked facing them door already.

"He's looking for them in the others. The fake ones must be inside of them."

"I'll go check out what they're planning down there," she offered and left.

"What were you talking about?" Larxene called.

"She told me to keep track of what was happening down below. I was only following orders," she answered plainly.

Ilexi arrived to the floor below as she encountered the trio. "So, how's the hero of darkness going?"

"He has passed now to the next basement floor since you've come," Zexion informed her.

"Vexen how'd it go with you?" she asked.

"Well that boy is quiet something I've got to admit," he added. "And that's why I've collected a full data on him in our last battle."

"Yeah, anyway. Before any of you want to do any other move, I've got something to keep that 'hero' in your hook."

"Is it?" Lexaeus called.

"Yes," she answered. "This is what you need." She rose her closed fist to open it and uncover three bright white crystal shards.

"What would those be good for?" Vexen asked.

"That Riku of yours is looking for a girl that's technically dead in our terms," she explained.

"She has no heart," Zexion thought out loud.

"Not quiet," she hissed as she got everyone's attention.

"What do you mean not quiet?" Vexen asked again.

"Well, it seems that the girl's heart just shattered instead of becoming engulfed by darkness. She's a special survival and live specimen in your language Vexen. She would be just like Sora per say," she teased.

"Continue," Vexen said intrigued.

"What you need is to show these things to Riku," she explained throwing one at each of them. "Tell him that even though his request was given he could never escape the sin he knows he has committed." She turned to Lexaeus, "That his hands are shackled in red for the blood he spilled." He turned to Zexion, "His feet are tied in blue for the tears he made shed." He finalized with Vexen, "That the sweet melody he once heard is never more. With these pieces he is sure to understand what he has done and be even more intrigued with what Castle Oblivion hides."

"And get us time to research," Vexen saw from his side.

"If you want to put it that way," Ilexi called.

The three hesitated for a while before agreeing. Zexion answered for them all, "Very well. We will continue with your plan for now until we get the necessary."

"That's fine with me as long as I'm of any help," she called.

"You're being awfully nice in giving us this piece of information," Vexen said suspicious. "What's the special occasion about?"

"Consider it a gift for my elders. And as you're already well aware you're not the only elders I have," she grinned and left in the dark.

"If what she says is right then using these shards along with your replica then this could actually work out," Zexion admitted.

"You're right," Vexen agreed.

"However…" Lexaeus interrupted. "We will need one last piece before starting with the crystals."

Vexen grinned as he knew what he referred to, "Yes I can see your point there. Fortunately, Naminé asked Axel to bring that lifeless corpse before we even got here. I supposed that there won't be any problem if we just borrow it for some time, now will it?" He disappeared afterwards.

Ilexi came up to the upper floors as she noticed that Axel wax talking or more like arguing with Larxene. They were ignoring Naminé completely as she drew again in her book. Ilexi came close to her.

"I gave them the fake bait already," she whispered but got no answer. "Naminé…I need to talk to you."

Naminé's color stopped as she stood a few minutes after. "If a talk with me is what you want."

Ilexi nodded, "Axel, Larxene, I'll ne taking Naminé outside for a little bit."

"Yeah, whatever!" Larxene said wanting to continue with her fight with Axel.

They both walked outside to another room as white as before. Naminé entered as she sat down in the chair across the table. Ilexi closed the door behind her as she looked down.

"What was it you wanted to talk about?" Naminé asked.

"Naminé…" she said lowly but low enough for her to hear. "Please listen." Naminé just stayed in wonder as she looked Ilexi.

A few minutes after Vexen came into the upper floors getting the intrigued look from both Larxene and Axel.

"May I ask were Naminé is?" Vexen asked directly.

"How can we help you Vexen? It's not very often we see you topside," Axel called when they both approached their elder.

"I came to lend you a hand," he called. "But I need the girl for this."

"Which girl?" Ilexi called as Naminé entered before her and she shut the door down. "Me or her?"

"Her," he answered. "Anyway, you obviously believe this Sora had much potential, but I remained unconvinced he is truly worth such cuddling. I think an experiment would show if he really is of any value to us."

"Humph," Larxene came. "Well, here we go again. It's just an excuse so you can carry out your little experiments. That's all."

"But why not?" Ilexi called getting a look from Naminé. "If he doesn't at least try then we'll all regret of losing such occasion."

"She's right for once. I'm a scientist. Experiments are what id o, yes."

"Whatever. You can do what you want," Axel called. "But you know, I think testing Sora is just a cover for testing your valet."

"Valet? He's the product of pure research," Vexen claimed.

"Pure research huh?" Ilexi called intrigued. "What might this valet of yours be?"

"What he actually is is a toy," Larxene called out.

Ilexi continued to listen to them as they were about to finish their conversation. Suddenly she heard the doors open behind her. She turned to see what she wasn't expecting. A dark form Riku coming through. She watched carefully as he walked towards Vexen and the others.

"Well, what do we have here?" Ilexi hissed. "He's not the real one, that's for sure. A double?" Ilexi suddenly felt a tug on her coat as she faced down to see directly on Naminé's notebook. "A replica?" she read lowly and watched Naminé nod. As they continued arguing, Ilexi suddenly heard the replica neglect something as she faced back up at the fight.

"Relax kiddo, I don't think it's going to hurt that much," Larxene called.

She saw as the fake attack Larxene only to be burst away by Larxene's electric hand shock. A small twitch went through Ilexi's body as she went rapidly through her nerves to fill the electric field all the way where she was leaning on.

"This won't get any prettier than that," Ilexi hissed to her. She started to move on, "I'll be waiting at the town, Vexen. I've got something to test out myself as well." She disappeared once again.

She reappeared into Twilight Town. However this one came from Sora's heart. "So nostalgic," she whispered. She glanced over at the Clock Tower. "It's been taking me to long to transport myself." She made a fist with her left hand, "I have to hurry." She began to run towards the old mansion as she noticed that someone had appeared beyond an open door as she only glanced back once before going at full speed. After arriving at the place she stood in front of the giant iron doors.

"It'll be here very soon," she hissed as she jumped the gates and hid behind one of the stone pillars waiting. Not long after Sora appeared and so did Vexen. Soon after a little rough talk they both began fighting. "Sora's getting good at this cards," she hissed leaning over to look at them fight. Suddenly she saw Vexen fall as Sora demanded him to turn Riku back to what he was.

Then was when Vexen started talking about what Marluxia was planning. "No, if he says anymore this will be all screwed," she thought as she was about to go ahead and attack him but was won by Axel. Who after a quick chat with plead from Vexen easily killed him. "Axel's following theirs others. That means that Naminé's almost finished with Sora. I have no time to waste on Sora," she vanished once more into the dark and reappeared in the lower parts. When she arrived she noticed that Zexion was alone deep in his thoughts.

"Zexio-," but she was interrupted before she got to finish as Lexaeus appeared before him.

"Vexen is no more," he called.

"Yes, it appears as Axel's work," Zexion called. "Took you long enough as well," he said referring to Ilexi.

"Forget me. Have you started to work on him?"

"With your methods not yet. We still needed to see just how Vexen's replica can fight now that he has the real Riku's memories," Zexion replied.

"I would offer to get time for the replica to get here," she offered herself. "I need to have a little chat with the real thing. You know to get him started with the story of his dearly beloved."

"You may," Lexaeus answered. "However you'll have to wait a while as long as he keeps going through his memories."

"I'll wait as long as I can. But after my time's up I cannot stop it," she explained.

"Then in case you cannot I will," Lexaeus called.

"I appreciate that," Ilexi called as she left to the basement to where Riku was to go.

"At least Vexen was useless to bring the corpse here," Zexion called.

"Can you take something from it?" Lexaeus asked.

"Yes, I believe I can. Even a simply image might be of use," Zexion said.

Ilexi arrived early as expected for been told by Lexaeus. "Great now I have to wait." She walked over to the doors rock railing as she sat down looking at the wall. She took her glove off once again as she saw the burn of vines around her left hand. She held it with her other hand locking her knees together while holding them up close to her body.

"You're slow Riku. As you were before too," she thought.

She began to hum something very soft.

"The dream is the wind. The small light that guides us. As I look to the sky wanting to find your voice and only finding not even a sound. Being happy now recollects to the memories. So gently right now flowing past the breeze, but so quietly down through the night," her voice began to resonate throughout the castle as she whispered and began to sing.

After asking herself deeply about Sora and already worried because of something else. She heard Ilexi's soft voice come through the walls.

At this moment I cannot see

Comes to me so frankly

"Is that Ilexi?" Axel whispered while at the same room as Naminé.

As the whispers sonly disappear

And soon enough so do I

Meanwhile at the basement as Riku slowly walked into the floor where Ilexi sat unaware.

Inside of a dream

A pure heart is being born

As you look me through that glass window

And I close it within the moment

And regain those lingering feelings

"How can you be so care free?" Riku called as he stepped forward. She didn't turn what so ever to look at him.

"You're late," she said. "Which means I have no time to play with you any more. Right, Lexaeus?" she said as her mentor appeared before Riku. "Thanks for giving up your time. But I got things to do as well. By the way, weird that all the crystals have been fake so far huh?" she called as she left.

She reappeared with Marluxia and Larxene, "What the heck do you want?"

"So you gave you freedom away to save your love bird?" Larxene mocked.

Ilexi turned to Marluxia, "You told her?"

"She is part of the group too," he answered.

"So was it his smile or his bad sense of humor?" she kept mocking.

"Not in the mood Larxene," she called already pissed enough. "You wanted me here for a reason. What is it?"

"Well, it seems you've been getting off of step lately," Marluxia explained as he walked around her.

"And it's not like I'm doing something wrong," she scolded not following his movements.

"On the contrary dear," he pointed out while he brushed her long heir from her neck and whispered in her ear. "You're getting in more trouble than I expected."

She smacked his hand of her as she turn to face him, "Don't play around with me!"

"Whoa, a rebel!" Larxene called.

"Stay away from me. Both of you!" she shouted as she took Death Rebel out.

"I wouldn't do that if I were you," Larxene whispered as Marluxia pushed her weapon away with his scythe. He then threw a blow at her stomach making her drop the weapon. Then he grabbed her neck and stroked her down to the wall choking her.

Ilexi tried her hardest trying to get free of his grasp. She soon started to scream for breathe with the little she already had. She started kicking him as well. He got closer to her ear once again.

"Listen and listen to me well. Whether you want to or not you'll follow my others. Being an asset doesn't always mean a good thing. So will you follow my orders?" he asked as she tried to denied it but couldn't. "I'll take you're silence as a sign of agreement." He let go of her neck as she fell to the floor and started to grasp heavily on the air. She started to clear her throat and cough. She held her throat with her right hand. Marluxia kneeled down to get a hold of her left hand. He pulled her above air as her shoulder started to hurt. "How about a small token of thanks from me to you." Her hand and whole arm started to burn as the vines started to spread throughout her arms and slowly to her back. She started to scream in pain. Naminé being the only one quite aware gasp and stood in horror. She could feel the pain in her screams. "Now either it's your choice or not you'll fight Sora one last time. Survive and you'll get to live fail other wise and I'll personally kill you." He let go as she fell hardly to the ground. She tried to endure the pain as she sat up.

"So one last time you'll fight with Sora, Ilexi. Roxas' other self," Larxene called.

"What?" she called shouting.

"Oh, so you didn't know?" Larxene mocked. "This will be even more fun to watch than I expected!" she started to laugh at her.

Ilexi only frowned as she looked to the floor. "Sora is…Roxas' somebody?" she thought.
