A/N: Hi! I'm sorry it took so long! This chapter was giving me major problems, and I ended up rewriting about a third of it. I hope you guys like it! Read on!

Disclaimer: Do I really have to tell you that I don't own Kingdom Hearts?


One Shot

Mickey's eyes snapped open. Without really moving, the Mouse King looked around. Donald was laying next to him, the duck's head planted firmly in the crook of Goofy's knees. Naminè was laying just behind them, then Kairi, Sora and Riku.

Strange. Mickey thought. I could have sworn I heard-

Crunch.

Footsteps. Someone was in the camp.

Sora and Riku's eyes snapped open at the sound, and they looked at King Mickey, waiting…

"Yes, I would like a muffin, thank you," Goofy mumbled in his sleep.

Crunch.

Crunch.

Crunch.

"I think I'm a rock."

Crunch.

Crunch.

Mickey nodded.

With a yell, the three Keyblade bearers lept up, summoning their weapons. Roxas jumped back, hands held in the air.

"Whoa, it's just me!" he exclaimed.

"Roxas?" Naminè asked, rubbing the sleep from her eyes. Excited, she jumped up, running into her boyfriend's arms.

"Hey, Nam."

"So, I'm guessing you're not here to rejoin us," Sora said with a slight smile, casting a casual glance over Roxas's black cloak. The Organization must have brought it with them.

"No, I'm just here as a messenger. I guess they figured you wouldn't kill me on sight."

"How convenient," Riku muttered. Roxas rolled his eyes and continued talking.

"I'm supposed to tell you that Xemnas wants to meet you."

"Now?" Kairi asked. "Why?"

Roxas just shrugged. "Whatever it is, it's such a big secret that they won't even tell us."

After a pause, Sora spoke up.

"I say we do it. We're stuck here anyway, so we might as well kick some Organization butt while we're at it."

As soon as Roxas had left to fetch the Keyblade Master and his companions, Xemnas called the other members of Organization XIII into a meeting, and quickly explained Zexion's plan.

"So, that's how it works," Larxene smiled, enjoying the plan's slightly sadistic traits. She couldn't help but be proud of Zexion. Who would have thought he had it in him? Not everyone was pleased though.

"And, why did we have to wait until Roxas was gone to talk about this?" Axel asked, disgruntled.

"Because," Zexion sighed. "Number XIII, do to his proneness to attachments, may dislike the underhanded quality of this plan, so, it is better that he remain unaware of it." Zexion smirked. "Do you understand, Axel?"

Axel scowled. "You think you're so smart, don't you?"

"Yes, actually, I do."

The air around them crackled with a furious heat as flames began to appear around Axel's hands. Zexion smiled, eagerly lowering himself into a fighting position.

"Wait, guys," Demyx said, inserting himself between the arguing Nobodies. "This isn't exactly the time to be trying to kill each other."

"Let them be, Demyx." Xemnas said, smiling cruelly. "I'm sure this is a fight that Zexion has been wanting to start for a while, and a great deal of the Organization believes that Axel deserves it."

Axel looked around at the nods of agreement. Evidently he wasn't going to be able to just blow this one off.

"You should feel honored, Axel." Zexion smirked. "You know I don't usually fight my own battles."

"Zexion," Lexaeus rasped, just as the two Nobodies were posed to strike. "You will have to save it for later. The Keybladers approach."

Roxas in the lead, the group crested the hill that overlooked the Organization's camp. Except, there was no camp. And, no Organization. Nothing but the smoldering remains of a campfire.

"I don't get it…" Roxas muttered. "They were here."

"Maybe we're on the wrong hill," Donald suggested.

"Well, we know they were here." Sora said, pointing at the fire pit. "All we can do it look around and see of they left any clues of where they went."

The group nodded, splitting up.

"I found a footprint!" Naminè called from one end of the valley.

"I found a penny!" Goofy called from the other.

"Sora, we're not going to find anything." Riku said. "They would have just gone through a Corridor of Darkness."

"Riku's right." Mickey nodded.

"But, we don't have any other options." Sora replied, shaking his head. "If they left, it's a dead end, but they were planning something, so just leaving wouldn't make any sense. This comet is pretty small, and they have to be around here somewhere. We need to look for them."

Nodding, the others headed back up the hill.

"Sora," Roxas said, "I need to talk to you."

Sora broke away from the rest of the group, walking back to where Roxas stood in the middle of the valley. He hadn't moved. Neither boy heard the gruff voice chuckle, nor saw the owner of the voice as he hid.

"Perfect."

"Sora, I don't like this." Roxas muttered as soon as Sora had reached him. "You need to take the others and go back to your camp. This feels like a trap-"

Roxas was interrupted as, in a flash, a figure stepped out of the darkness of a portal, and, with cruelly accurate aim, lifted his gun, shooting once.

Kairi fell to the ground.


A/N: Please, don't murder me! Please review though. I'm sorry about the cliffhanger. I was planning on making it longer, but that just seemed like a natural place to stop. Please review! I love reviewers! Bye!
