Alright, this is the second chapter. It's shorter than the others, but I'm hoping the next one will be longer. I'm having trouble sorting the paragraphs into chapters…

Axel ghosted into the room, making a small bow to the person sitting behind the desk. Looking up, he was surprised to find an irritated-looking Marluxia standing beside their leader. He raised an eyebrow, but said nothing to the man. "You called?" he asked, turning back to the superior.
"Yes. We have a…uh…slight problem," he said, shooting a glare towards Marluxia. Marluxia just looked away, muttering under his breath. "Namine has run off," the Superior said bluntly. "We can't find her. So we're calling in reinforcements. You were always close to the girl, you may be able to track her down. Axel," he looked him in the eye. "It is important we get her back. She's remembering." Axel let out a sharp gasp. He thought her memories had been replaced, done by Namine herself. "Yes sir. But," and with this, he cast a sly glance at the brunette, "why hasn't Marluxia found her yet? She's his pet, after all." Marluxia growled at him.
"Shut up, Axel."
Axel smirked. "Ooh, touchy, are we?" Marluxia took a step forward, but the Superior put a hand out, stopping him.
"Axel, just do it. Take what you need and find the girl." The red head nodded, and turned to leave the room. Just before he exited, he looked over his shoulder at the two men. "What did she remember anyways?"
"Ten."

Namine woke up. Someone was here. Glancing around, she caught a shadow in the corner. A shadow with bright red hair. "N-No!" she cried, struggling to get out of bed. She tumbled onto the floor, caught up in a mass of blankets. Axel smirked, pushing off the wall and walking over to the girl. The superior had been right; it had only taken him a few hours to track down the girl. He reached down, grasping the blankets with the girl in them. "Time to go home. Your owner has been worried sick," he smirked. In desperation, Namine lashed out, a fist connecting with Axel's chest. Letting out an 'oof' of surprise, he dropped her, and she struggled free, running to the door. Axel growled, walking quickly to cut her off. Just as she got it open, he slammed it shut with one hand. Namine flipped around, looking frantically for another exit. Balcony. Perfect. Slipping under Axel's arm, she made a dash for the balcony door. Axel reached out, grabbing her wrist and yanking her around. "Lets. Go." he said, a sharp edge to his voice.
"No! I don't want to go back!" Namine brought her foot up, and Axel doubled over in pain, letting go of her wrist. Running to the door, she pulled it open. She took one last glance at Axel over her shoulder, smirking. 'Funny, I almost thought there would be nothing there,' she mused, before jumping off the balcony to the street below. She rolled a bit, but got up, brushing herself off. Looking around through the rain, she dashed off into the shadows.

Axel lay on the ground, groaning. Owwww…..Namine was such a pain…..
