"You know, is it me or has everyone's mood changed drastically over the past few weeks?" I asked as I snuggled against Luxord on the couch while Zexion, Larxene and Xigbar were hanging out drinking pints with us.

"I think we've been a little too nice to you Audri, even though you got the sugar daddy dicking you down," Zexion said calmly as Larxene and Xigbar hollered in laughter giving the Schemer high fives.

"That's not what I meant dammit!" I shouted blushing as Luxord laughed sipping his drink. "I meant that fact that it feels like everyone has... suddenly become a little too tense all of a sudden," I explained glancing around the Grey Area to see Vexen and Lexaeus talking under their breath at another table in secrecy.

Axel and Demyx were barely touching the drinks I got for them. It was like they were both staring into space and afraid to move like they would fall over.

Meanwhile on the other side of the room, Saix was barking orders at Rauxdi as she scrambled around picking up her paperwork.

"Well, can't be helped with one of our biggest assets gone missing ya know," Xigbar said chugging his draft as the Larxene scoffed, "Forget about Roxas. If he wanted to bail, then so be it! Don't need his whiney ass in our Organization!"

"Come on Larxene, you know that Roxas was a valuable card to have in our deck if we wanted to win all the plays," Luxord said as I nodded, "Plus he was our friend! Or at least a few of us were his friend."

"Friends or not, what type of friend leaves without saying goodbye?" Larxene said as Xigbar leaned back on the couch looking over at Axel and Demyx.

He rubbed his chin as he whispered, "Who knows that really happened. Could of been a lover's quarrel or some shit. I assumed it was over something stupid, but I wonder what really happened for him to take off."

"One way to find out," Larxene said with a huff as she went over to grab Axel and pull him up to his feet shouting at him. We just watched for a minute before we saw Axel snap his fingers and a burst of flames shot up.

Larxene started to scream and turned around, as the three of us couldn't hold back laughing seeing that Axel singed her eyebrows off.

"YOU BASTARD!" Larxene shouted about to slash him open with her kunai before Xemnas appeared between the two of them through a dark corridor.

"Everyone, we're going to have a meeting about Roxas. We will all meet in twenty minutes," He said with a dull tone in his voice before he walked over to pull Saix away from torturing Rauxdi over paperwork.

"This should be good," I sighed getting off the couch and chugging the last of my drink.

We all sat on our thrones as we waited in silence. Rauxdi took over Roxas' chair as I shared mine with Luxord. I could tell that the tension was so heavy in this room that if you took a lighted match, it would go out in an instant.

"Now all of you know that we have been looking for Roxas over the past two weeks and we are not any closer than before," Xemnas started to explain as some of us noticed that he seemed quite irritated.

"To make this easier for us, I decided that we would be sending a small group of you to Castle Oblivion as a home base while you go in search for him. We do not know if he had left on his own, or if he was merely taken against his will," He continued as some of the members looked around curiously.

"Vexen, Lexaeus, Zexion, Axel, Marluxia, and Larxene - the six of you will be out looking for Roxas while the rest of us continue with our plans. If anyone comes back with any reports, do not hesitate to tell me," Xemnas said as the six Nobodies nodded in agreement.

"Numbers 00, I want both of you to tend to other missions that the six of them were working on. Any objections?"

"I do, but I guess if we're going to be understaffed... We don't really get a choice," Rauxdi sighed as I nodded knowing that the next few days were going to be hell on earth.

"Good. Everyone else, keep an eye out for Roxas just in case. But stick with your original plans. Everyone, dismissed." Xemnas said as he disappeared through his own dark corridor.

"Guess it will get pretty empty around here," Xigbar retorted as everyone started to leave one by one.

"I hope everyone goes alright for you all," I said as Axel, Marluxia and Larxene nodded packing their supplies up. "It'll be fine and we'll find Roxas in many pieces!" Larxene cackled, earning a glare from Axel.

"Look, just don't kill each other and it'll be fine," Rauxdi said as Demyx followed behind her nodding.

"We'll find Roxas as he is the biggest key in collecting more hearts for us," Marluxia said as he walked past Rauxdi and Demyx.

Larxene made an unaudible noise in her throat as she followed him.

"Don't worry Axel, it'll be okay," I said as Axel sighed, "Thanks but I'm worried about what could have happened..."

"Axel! Let's get going!" Marluxia's voice came from the hallway as we saw a dark corridor was opening up.

Axel nodded as he followed after them.

"Stay safe you three!" Demyx called out waving his arms as everyone disappeared down the dark corridor.

As the dark corridor closed, the three of us were left in silence.

"Audri, I don't mean to ask a lot from your, but can you and Demyx cover their missions? I have something else I need to get taken care of," Rauxdi asked as she turned to face the two of us. Demyx and I winced nervously before nodding, "We can try and fail, but what do you gotta go?"

Rauxdi jolted upright and scratched the back of her head glancing away, "D-don't worry about it! It's just something I promised to help someone else with, it's only for a day. Otherwise I'll be able to help with everyone's remaining missions afterwords."

"But-"

"Okay, we'll do it," Demyx said as I glanced up at him. He gave me a thumbs up as he grinned, "It's a lot of responsibility being in the Organization! But we can handle it, right Audri?"

I smiled weakly as I glanced up to see Rauxdi taking off as she shouted, "You two are the best! I'll find you after I'm done."

"What do we do first Demyx?" I asked as I made a dark corridor for the both of us to get mission details from Saix.
