Chapter Two

Roxas watched over Demyx with his arms folded across his chest. He knew he couldn't do anything, he had no medical skills and it probably wouldn't have mattered since they were Nobodies and chances of a Nobody's body being similar to a Human's were slim. Roxas had waited for about twenty minutes when he heard the door open and then shut.

Axel rushed into the room, "Has he said anything?"

"Uh-uh," Roxas shook his head. "When we were walking home he said he had been feeling dizzy and his vision had gotten blurry earlier in school but that was it."

Axel frowned and set aside his briefcase. "Did he say anything else?"

Roxas shook his head. "…Axel," he had been debating about this question.

"What?" Axel looked up.

"Demyx isn't going to fade away…is he?"

Axel thought for a moment or two. He finally answered with a near-exhausted sigh. "I don't know. I've asked for the rest of the day off because of this, so we'll just have to wait and see."

Roxas stiffly nodded. He didn't want to lose anymore of his friends. "Were those signs when you faded away?"

Axel was about to answer but then paused. "I don't remember." He finally said. "I'll go change, stay here incase anything happens."

Roxas gave another nod before Axel left the room.

Once he was in his room, Axel opened a dresser and pulled out a pair of jeans and a long-sleeved brown shirt with a thick blue stripe across the chest. He quickly changed and returned to Roxas and Demyx's room. Before he could ask, Roxas shook his head and said: "Nothing."

"Well," Axel began, "Then I guess we could go into the living room or kitchen. Demyx probably won't do anything except sleep."

"Yah, probably," Roxas followed him out of the room and into the kitchen. Roxas took his usual seat on the table, which was with his back to the living room, and sighed. "Something doesn't feel right about this."

Axel took his usual seat, facing the sink, and cocked his head to the side a little. "What do you mean?"

"I don't know. He was acting normal and just suddenly fainted."

"Have you been feeling dizzy or sick lately?"

"No," Roxas shook his head. "Have you?"

"Nope," he replied. "Only times I've felt sick were when Martin tried talking to me."

Roxas bit his lip so he wouldn't laugh too loudly. "Oh yah, anything happen at work?"

"Well, I might get a promotion. Boss just said I had to dye my hair a different color or gel it down." He cringed at the thought of either.

Roxas, on the other hand, thought it was downright hilarious.

Axel's face twitched with some anger. "Laugh all you want. I'm going to find away around it."

"Yah, but not before I find a camera."

"You're not getting any photos. Got it memorized?" He tapped his left temple.

"Nope," he stuck his tongue out and was preparing to push himself back incase Axel decided to swat him aside the head.

"Got what memorized?" Demyx staggered into the kitchen. "Axel? What are you doing home so early?"

"You fainted," Axel answered. "Roxas called me. Are you feeling any better?"

"Ah. Uh…yah thanks." Demyx took the remaining seat; his back to the fridge. "So I fainted?"

"Uh-huh," Axel and Roxas nodded at the same time.

"Anything else?"

"Yes. You admitted your undying love for Kelp." Roxas answered, doing his best to keep a straight face.

"Be happy I'm too tired to do anything about that comment," growled Demyx. "So, anything happen at work today?"

"I'm getting a promotion and the boss said I have to either dye my hair or gel it down."

Demyx snickered at the thought of Axel with neat and tidy hair. "You'd look better dying it. Oh yah, what are you getting promoted to?"

"…I get to be the secretary's assistant."

"Wait, isn't the secretary at work Ieta; the one who has a crush on you?" Demyx asked.

"Yah." Axel was clearly unpleased.

Demyx laughed and put his voice into falsetto, "Oh, Axel, could you get me some coffee? Thanks. Oh, we need to talk about the boss's schedule. Is it okay with you if we have the meeting around five-thirty at Le Tiger Lily and then go over to y—OW"

"If you're well enough to humiliate yourself with that voice then you're well enough to take a kick in the shins."

Demyx was about to make a one-fingered gesture but Axel spoke before he could. "All right, school's out at the end of this week and I'll get a two-week vacation a week after that. So, what do you guys want to do for the two weeks I have off?"

"Go to the beach," Roxas and Demyx said in near unison.

"All right, I guess we could do that." Axel said, nodding slightly. "I'll just make sure Ieta doesn't plan on going to the beach, too."

Roxas and Demyx stifled their laughter. "What are we going to do now?" Demyx asked.

"I don't think we can go out for sea-salt ice-cream today since everybody at work is expecting me to be here helping my supposedly dying cousin," Axel answered.

"You said I was dying?" Demyx cocked an eyebrow in amusement.

"I didn't say that…"

"Then what did you say?"

"Something among the lines of severe trauma reoccurring and fear you may go catatonic again if you don't have your living relatives around you to tell you everything's all right."

"Oh great, if I ever go there they'll be treating me like some overly-emotional guy who'll burst into tears at the mention of 'train crash.'"

"Worth a try on working up the acting skills, they do come in handy." Axel put his hands behind his head and leaned back in his chair.

Demyx managed to prevent a frown from forming on his face. Right…I've always wanted to be a traitor. Demyx thought crossly. Clearly, he was still touché about Axel and Roxas betraying the Organization. "I think me and Roxas get enough practice when trying to avoid Kiza and Kelp." His vision suddenly blurred again. He lurched and clutched onto the table.

Axel and Roxas made a move to help Demyx but he held his hand up. "I'm fine, really. I'll just go and lie down again." He shakily got up from the table.

"Sure you don't need help?" Roxas asked, getting up as well.

"Nah," Demyx managed to stagger back to his and Roxas' room. As he flopped back onto his bed, he hoped that he wasn't going to receive anymore nightmares

Friday arrived quickly and Axel was reluctant to let Demyx go to school after he had fainted again half way through Thursday. He and Roxas were currently walking to school. "Sure you're okay?"

"Yes," Demyx snapped, "I'm fine. Quit bothering me, all right? I should be the one asking you, anyway."

Roxas glared at the ground.

"I'm surprised Axel didn't stay in the room for the rest of the night," Demyx added.

Half way through the night, Demyx woke up because Roxas had been thrashing around so violently in his sleep he managed to knock down the chair by their desk. Axel rushed in a moment later and woke Roxas up. "So, what was so horrifying? Kiza tried kissing you?"

Roxas made a slight grunt signifying 'no.'

"Okay then, what?" He stopped and removed his hands from his pockets.

Roxas stopped too. He looked around and saw that the only person who was outside was a man in his boxers and a shirt watering the lawn. "I'll tell you after school when we meet up with Axel during his lunch break."

Demyx rolled his eyes figuring it was useless to argue.

"A-Axel?" Ieta almost crashed into Kirk. Kirk was about to snap at her but stopped when he saw Axel.

Axel had used half a tube of gel to slick his hair back. It was not an out-of-control mess but in fact very nice and smooth to the point it looked like he had slopped on some red paint except for the slight bulge around his scalp. "Morning, Ieta," he said through gritted teeth.

"I-I hear you start as an assistant secretary today."

"Yup," he was heading to his now old cubicle to pack up his things.

"Oh! How's Demyx? Is he all right?" Ieta snapped out of her shock of the gelled-back Axel.

"He's fine," Axel stepped into the cubicle. Speaking of Demyx, I hope he wasn't predicting the future or anything with that Ieta imitation.

"Oh, hey, Axel." Martin looked up. His thin eyebrows rose. "Did you get a haircut?"

Axel managed to not slap his forehead. "We can go with that," he walked over to his desk and started to remove the pictures from the wall and a few other things in his desk area. He didn't have the most decorated workspace, so it only took a few minutes.

"I'll show you the way," Ieta, as usual, chirped, and led him through the maze of cubicles to the office they would be sharing. "You'll like it in your new job. The office will be much bigger and you'll probably get a longer lunch break. Oh, and more vacations, too."

"Really?" That got Axel's attention.

"Mm-hmm." She nodded. Axel, as usual, ignored the tinge in her cheeks. "Oh, and when you're done I have an assignment for you."

"All right," Axel figured it'd be the same things he normally did but probably a little more running around and less sitting in front of a computer screen, which was one of the few plusses to the promotion.

Roxas' eyes darted to the clock. He was going to have to wait a few hours before he and Demyx could meet up with Axel. The wait was annoying and the fact that he wasn't feeling too good didn't make it any easier. The dream he had disturbed him and now he had a stomachache and a headache. "Roxas, you all right?" Nero cocked his head to the side a little.

"I'm fine," Roxas waved his hand carelessly. "Really." He went back to his book, wishing for it to be noon already and not eight forty-five.

"All right," Nero said with a shrug.

Roxas returned to his book as he heard some girls gasp. He shoved it aside and continued reading until a hand reached out and grabbed the book. "Hey—Demyx?"

"Yah, we really need to talk, c'mon."

"Uh, okay…how'd you—"

"I said that I wasn't feeling well," he dragged Roxas out of the classroom.

"All right," Demyx shut the door, blocking out the whispers. "Roxas, just to get this off my mind, did your dream by any chance involve a cliff that had a drop that seemed to go on forever? Or involved me and Axel?"

"Well…there wasn't a cliff or anything like that and I don't think you guys were in it. Is this why you dragged me out of class?"

"That was the original idea buuut something else kind of happened on the way here."

"What?"

Demyx looked around before reaching into his pocket and pulled out a folded note. "Some person dressed like a member of the Organization gave this to me. I couldn't tell if they were a boy or a girl." He added.

Roxas' eyebrows rose in shock and then knitted together as he took the note. He unfolded it. The first thing that got his attention was the picture of the water lily at the bottom of the note. Then his vibrant eyes drifted to the message on the note:

"The light may burn strong but soon it will waver."

"…Did this person smell like smoke or something?" Roxas kept the slight shaking out of his voice.

Demyx took the note. "Hahaha, very funny." He said sarcastically. "No. But they were in the Organization get-up," he looked around again. He didn't see anybody. "Think we should call Axel?"

Roxas thought for a few seconds but then shook his head. "No. He just got a promotion and he'd freak out if we bother him about this now. Also, we'll be seeing him in a few hours. I don't think he wants to be disturbed right now. He might get demoted if he has to leave work again."

Demyx nodded in agreement. "I guess you're right…" he was about to ask Roxas what his dream was again but knew he wouldn't get an answer. "All right, see you in a few hours. Come straight to me if you—"

"I'm not that stupid," Roxas cut him off but he was smiling. "See yah later." He stepped back into the room.

Demyx stood there in the hall for a few seconds before heading back to his classroom. He had pulled out the note again and was reading it over and over. There was something unsettling about that note. This is, of course, setting aside the fact that a supposed member of the Organization gave him the note. The Organization's gone. We're what's left. Well, I should probably say I'm the one that's left. But I guess I'd be considered a traitor at this point. Demyx let out a sigh, and I can't forget that Axel and Roxas did let me stay with them, so I guess I'd be a traitor either way I go. He walked up the stairs lost in thought. I just wish I knew what that guy—or girl—wanted. Why me? Why not Roxas or Axel? Maybe I was just in the wrong place at the wrong time.

Demyx opened the door to his classroom and stepped in. "Feeling better, Demyx?" The teacher asked.

"Huh? Oh, yah." He nodded.

"Good," a girl named Mia chirped, "Cuz Till brought some homemade sweets. You know you wanna try them!"

Demyx became aware of the smell of cookies. Oh, great. My one weakness. Well, next to rap.. He shrugged, "Sure." Mia handed him a cookie.

"Oh, meet us after school. We know how much Roxas would want some"

Demyx absent-mindedly nodded and walked off to sit on the counter in the corner. I hope Roxas doesn't bump into that person. It could be bad news for him if he does.

Roxas walked down the hall. He wanted to get away from his loud classroom and he needed a drink of water. The images from his dream haunted him and drifted in and out of his mind. Roxas located the water fountain; just as he was about to twist the knob to release the water, he felt somebody tap his shoulder. He turned around to see who it was.

"Hey, Roxas, is everything all right with Demyx?" It was Till, Mia's cousin.

"Yah, why?"

"Well, he did faint the other day and he left for the nurse's office. But he came back," she added quickly.

"Oh. Okay…" You came down a floor just to ask me if Demyx was all right? He prevented himself from asking the question. I'd be touched if I had a heart. Roxas couldn't help musing that little thought.

"Oh, and Mia wanted me to give these to you while they were still fresh instead of after school and I'm sure you guys have better things to do." Till handed him a folded napkin with cookies. "You know how she is with Demyx and everybody he knows," she added, rolling her eyes. "Well, see yah later, Roxas." She turned around and walked off.

"Uh, thanks," Roxas said and looked down at the cookies. He figured he should probably save one for Axel. Putting them in one of his many pockets, Roxas leaned over and twisted the knob on the water fountain. Cold, refreshing water went down his throat and it seemed to have made things a little better. He returned to his classroom and sat down on a table in the back. He pulled out one of the cookies and began to eat it while watching some of his classmates play a card game.

After a few very long and boring hours, Roxas was now free to leave. Heading outside, he waited under the giant oak tree for Demyx. "Hey, Demyx." Roxas waved to Demyx as he quickly dashed down the stairs.

"Hey, Roxas." Demyx nodded his head, "C'mon, Axel said he'd meet us at the old café."

Roxas nodded and said as they weaved through the thick crowds of cheering students. "I hope Axel's boss took a picture of his hair like that. He's got the best costume for Halloween Town."

Demyx smiled weakly, "Yah"

Roxas frowned. "The cloaked person didn't come back, did they?"

Demyx shook his head. "No but I've been reading that note ever since I got back to the class and the more I read it, the more it freaked me out." He frowned, "And I don't know why."

"Well, why'd you keep reading it?" Roxas half-snapped.

"Still enjoying the emotions, duh," Demyx answered with another weak smile.

Roxas shook his head and rolled his eyes. The walk to the old café was only a few minutes away from the school. They reached in before Axel and had to wait another ten minutes. "Hey, guys," Axel arrived with his hair dripping wet. "The boss said he preferred my hair out of control instead of gelled down." He said to Demyx and Roxas when noticing the slight surprise and disappointment in their eyes. "Oh, and no photos," he added.

"Aww…"

They walked into the café to be greeted by a cheerful looking man, "Outside or inside?"

"Outside." It was louder outside than inside and that meant they were less likely to be over-heard.

"Right this way, sirs." The man led them to a little table outside in a shaded corner with a giant hedge to the left. He handed the three of them menus and dashed off to greet other customers.

"All right," Axel looked Roxas in the eye, "You were—"

"Actually," Roxas interrupted him, "Demyx has something important to say."

Axel's eyebrows rose. "Really?" He looked at Demyx, "This should be interesting."

Demyx sighed and reached into his pocket, muttering under his breath. "All right—"

"Oh, hi, Demyx! Hi, Roxas!" Kiza was wearing the café's uniform.

Oh, crap. Roxas and Demyx thought while attempting to not make eye-contact with her.

"What would you three like to drink?" She asked in her usual overly-cheerful voice.

The three quickly looked at the drink specials and hastily made the orders; Roxas and Demyx purposely picking ones they didn't like too much. "So, what were you saying?" Axel asked.

Demyx sighed, trying to think of how to say what he needed to say. "Well," he lowered his voice a little; Roxas wondered how Axel would react to the news. "We think I was contacted by somebody from the Organization."

"What?" Axel barely managed to keep a leash on his voice. A few people looked up from their conversations, staring at Axel. "What?"

The ones who looked up shrugged and returned to their conversations.

He looked up back at Roxas and Demyx. "What did you just say? Are you serious? Oh, great…I knew they'd come back—"

"This person was different; they didn't give off the same Nobody vibes. Also, I couldn't tell if it was a boy or a girl." Demyx was trying to think of away to calm Axel down. Wow…seriously helpful, that one, Demyx.

"And the note didn't match the handwriting of any of the old members," Roxas added quickly, remembering the note.

"There was a note?" Axel's eyes widened. "Why didn't you show me in the first place? Give me the note," he held his hand out.

Demyx handed him the note.

Axel unfolded it. His eyes blazed over the short sentence. "Crap. You don't think its Marluxia, do you? No, wait, he might've looked like a girl and had a feminine looking weapon but his handwriting wasn't this neat or curly." Axel continued to study the note. His mouth formed a frown.

Kiza came by and passed out their drinks. "All right, ready to order?"

"Another few minutes," Demyx said to her as Roxas took a sip of his drink, hiding a cringe. Once she walked off, Demyx and Roxas looked at each other. "Trade?"

"Yah," they switched their drinks. "I hope she's too thick to notice."

"Or we could mess with her head," Demyx said with a smirk.

Axel noticed his drink and almost gulped half of it down.

"Well?" Demyx looked at Axel hopefully. Roxas silently sipped his lemonade.

"If it really is somebody from the Organization who wrote this…Marluxia and Zexion might be teaming up. Or even Saix." Axel said after a moment. "But why aren't they coming after Roxas or trying to kill me? Not that I'm complaining," he hastily added. He looked up at Roxas to see he was swirling the lemonade around with his straw. He then glanced at Demyx to see he was doing the same with his kiwi drink. "Since we can't do much with this note, Roxas, what was your dream about?" He asked, finally getting to what he originally had in mind for a conversation.

Roxas sighed and was about to speak when Kiza returned. Wanting to get rid of her as fast as possible, they gave their orders and, luckily, she didn't notice the drink switch between Demyx and Roxas. "All right," he looked up at both Demyx and Axel. "I know what happened to Sora."

Axel and Demyx stared at Roxas.

"…Yah." He pushed his lemonade aside. "And I guess you could say the note's related to the dream because around the end of the dream it was raining lilies."

Axel and Demyx exchanged glances.

Roxas figured he should continue. "Anyway, in the dream, Sora turned himself into a Heartless and I could hear Kairi and Riku telling me—or him—to run as far as I could. I saw myself running and, I don't know, it was starting to get really blurry and I think I saw this lady extracting Namine from Kairi and she was doing something to Sora's Heartless."

"But…what about me and Demyx?" Axel asked, "That doesn't explain what happened to us or why we came back."

Roxas shrugged. "I don't know. The dream started with what looked like Riku swimming to something from something in the ocean and Kairi was starting a fire. Yah, I know, it was really weird." He gave an extremely weak smile to Demyx and Axel. "Maybe that's what brought you guys back; the others using your elements." He ran his hand through his hair, "God that dream was weird…"

Axel reached a hand out and patted Roxas on the shoulder. "Maybe that's what really happened or maybe it isn't but for now we're fine. We probably should start thinking of what to do incase they come back."

Demyx nodded in agreement, shoving aside the small voice in his head pointing out that, as usual, Axel was showing more concern for Roxas. "But you're not going to let us wander around alone now, are you?"

"Yup. You guys aren't going to go anywhere alone except for the bathroom but that's it. You two have to stick together now. Got it memorized?"

"Yes sir," Demyx and Roxas said, trying to keep themselves from laughing; they always thought it was funny when Axel said 'Got it memorized?'

"Good," he relaxed a little.

"But what about you," asked Roxas.

"I'll do fine." He answered coolly

Demyx and Roxas exchanged skeptic looks. He's probably asking me and Roxas to stick together so I could possibly play as the shield. Or he actually wants me to live and knows my fighting's not the best and is hoping Roxas could help protect me. The thoughts raced through his mind. "Let's change the subject," he said, "You never know, they might return." 'They' was referring to the rest of the Organization.

Axel and Roxas nodded in agreement. Kiza returned with what they ordered, "Enjoy your meal," she said in her usual happy voice, "And see you guys next year." Her voice sounded extremely cheerful at the thought of seeing Roxas and Demyx in school again. She walked off towards another table to take more orders.

Once they had finished their lunch, Demyx and Roxas waved good-bye to Axel as he headed back for work and Demyx and Roxas headed home to collect their library books. "Oh, c'mon, Roxas, it's not that bad. Maybe you just need to stop reading right before bed." Demyx said in an attempt to cheer Roxas up.

"Thanks," Roxas looked up at Demyx, "but it's not working." He sighed. "Let's start thinking about what movies we'll get from the library and how late we can stay up."

Demyx smiled, "Now we're talking."

The two continued talking about which movies they would get for this week and they had managed to narrow it down to action movies, horror movies, action movies, and possibly an anime movie. "I don't know," Demyx slipped the key into the lock, "Anime is okay but the whole entire thing with the heads getting big when yelling gets kind of annoying."

"I think its funny," Roxas followed him in.

"I think Olette poisoned your mind," he tapped Roxas' head. "Hear that? It's bouncing off something…that something is…wait; let me listen!" He tapped Roxas' head again. "I hear heads inflating and those inflated heads getting hit with mallets," he said melodramatically.

Roxas batted Demyx's hand away. "Hahaha, very funny." He said sarcastically, rolling his eyes. "There was one that Olette always wanted to see," he walked down the hallway to their room. He grabbed his backpack and started to collect library books. "Are you going to help? We have a whole lot of books."

"All right," Demyx lifted a shirt from the floor and found some books. "Found two. Have you read these ones yet?"

"Yah," Roxas said after looking over his shoulder. He returned to the books on the shelves. "All right, I got all the ones from the shelf. How many others do we have to return?"

"Four and I found them," Demyx put four more books into the backpack. "I think we should put some of those in my backpack."

Roxas shrugged, "All right," he unzipped the backpack and handed eight books to Demyx. "Okay, let's go."

Axel was now walking home from work. His hair was now dry and stuck out like it usually did. Maybe I should've taken a train…he thought, dragging his feet on the sidewalk. His vision began to blur. Oh, great. He nearly tripped over his own feet.

About fifty feet away, Demyx and Roxas were sitting in a tree. "Hey, isn't that Axel?" Demyx nodded his head in Axel's direction, sea-salt ice-cream still in his mouth.

"Huh?" Roxas looked up to see an exhausted looking Axel. He had finished off his ice-cream and dropped the stick into a trashcan by the tree. "Yah, he doesn't look so good." Roxas jumped off the tree.

"Wait up," Demyx hopped off the tree as well and threw away his ice-cream stick.

"Hey, Axel! Are you all right?"

"Huh?" Axel looked up. He saw one Demyx and one Roxas and then three of each. "Not really," he started to sway a little.

Roxas rushed to his friend's aid and supported him, "Demyx, how far are we from home?"

"About ten minutes," he glanced around. They were starting to attract stares.

"All right," Roxas nodded and started to walk towards home.

"Need help?" Demyx asked, feeling as useless as ever.

"No, that's all right." Roxas replied, trying to not show he was having some difficulty.

"Its okay, Roxas, I think I can walk," Axel attempted at straightening up and taking a step but he stumbled after the first few. Demyx caught him this time. "Okay…I can't."

"C'mon, let's just get you home," Roxas said.

"Yah, yah…" Axel looked a little annoyed but mostly sick. His face had gone pale and a thin layer of sweat was forming.

They arrived at their house twenty minutes later instead of ten. "You brought your key, right Roxas?"

"Yah," Roxas reached into his pocket and pulled his key out. He slipped it into the bolt and then the knob. He opened the door and let Demyx and Axel in first. Roxas followed them in and shut the door behind him. "I'll go get some water." He headed off into the kitchen.

Demyx carried Axel down the hall to the second door, which was Axel's room. "What happened?" He asked while opening the door.

"I don't know," Axel replied, "I felt tired but decided to walk home anyway. Next thing I knew my vision was blurring up and I felt ready to faint."

"Ah. Why do I get the feeling this is contagious?" Demyx muttered before carefully setting Axel down on his bed. "Need anything?"

"Here," Roxas walked in and handed Axel the glass of water.

Axel took the glass and leaned against the wall, "Thanks." He started to drink the water but something made him spit it out. "Crap!"

"Huh?" Demyx and Roxas turned their heads to see a tall, cloaked figure.

Since they were in the comfort of their own home, Demyx and Roxas figured it was safe to draw their weapons for the first time in a while. "Uhh…why aren't my Keyblades appearing?" Roxas looked down at his empty hands. Demyx's sitar hadn't appeared either

"Uhhh…" both turned to look at Axel. He had dropped the glass and attempted to stand but failed. Along with that, is hands were empty.

No sound came but the way the figure was moving, the person was laughing. It then waved its finger as if scolding the three. It then reached into its pocket and pulled out another paper. This time it was held out towards Roxas. "Me?"

It nodded.

"Roxas, I know you're not that brain dead," Demyx looked at the note and then Roxas. "I'll get it—"

The figure shook its head. Looking at Roxas and then the note, it shrugged and faded away, leaving behind a note.

After a moment of silence…

"Why didn't our weapons appear?" Demanded Demyx, ignoring the note. "And what's with this guy coming and going without any powers of darkness?"

"I don't know," Roxas said with a shrug. "Maybe we forgot how to summon them?"

"I hope not…but whoever it was wanted to be noticed." Demyx and Roxas hadn't noticed that Axel had managed to get up and pick the note up. "Oh great, another riddle."

"The dance of destiny is soon to change its melody."

"Wait, what are you doing—," Demyx looked back and forth to where Axel had been resting and to where he was standing, "…Never mind."

"What's that supposed to mean?" Roxas groaned.

"Who knows? Whatever—" Axel froze.

"What?" Demyx and Roxas asked in unison.

"Demyx, can I see the other note?"

"Uh, sure," he reached into his pocket and handed Axel the note. "Why?"

"You two go to another room." He ordered, ignoring the question.

"Uh…all right. C'mon, Roxas." Demyx turned to Roxas.

Roxas had wandered over to Axel and was looking over his shoulder. "What? All right…"
