Please Review, I would like to hear thoughts and suggestions.

Note: Time flips back and forward.

Today was my third day with Xion, I've gotten to know her a little more, that's right she's a girl with black hair and a keyblade just like me. I took her out for ice cream afterwards but I'm saving the winner stick for Axel; he deserves a reward, when he gets back. Xion wants to have ice cream with us from now on. Maybe we'll be friends.

- Roxas

Day 26,

Roxas yawned as he began to fully wake up, He sat up on his bed; stretching out his arms. "I wonder what today's mission is" Roxas talking to himself, "I hope it's with Xion" he added before getting up.

Roxas made his way to the lounge,

"What in blazes happened then?" spoke one of the senior members of the organization, "Don't look at me man!" whined Demyx. "I just found out minutes ago!" he added. Roxas wondered what was going on, so he headed on over to Xigbar. "Is everything alright?"

"Alright? As if, word has it that one of the members that were sent to Castle oblivion has been terminated.

"Terminated? But that means…"

"Roxas" Came Saix, "Your mission is with Xigbar, you're going to Agrabah" he added. "Is it true about castle oblivion?" Roxas asked Saix. "That is of no concern of yours." said Saix. "What about Axel?" Roxas suddenly asked.

"Who knows, perhaps he is among the lost" spoke Saix. Roxas was taken aback by the comment. "But" as he eyes looked down to the floor.

"No buts, there's work to be done" said Xigbar. "Go get yourself ready"

The dark corridor opened, exiting through it was Roxas and Xigbar. Roxas took in the sight of Agrabah. It was clearly different from all those missions in Twilight Town.

Today's mission was recon.

"Ugh! I'm frying already out here." Said Xigbar as he tried to fan himself with his hand. "Come on Kiddo; let's get with this investigation over and done with." He added.

Roxas didn't respond to the senior member, "What's wrong? Dazzled by the new scenery?" taunted Xigbar. "Do you think it's true, what they said back at the castle about those stationed at castle oblivion?" Roxas asking the eye patched man.

"Ha-ha, seriously kid that's what's eating at you?" as Xigbar began to toy with his ponytail.

"Well, we've might have lost a comrade? Maybe more comrades and that don't bother you, at all?" Roxas asking this kind of question, to being such as Xigbar was.

"As if"

"…"

"Look kiddo, the faster we get this mission done, the quicker we return to the castle and you get your answers." responded the older member.

"Fine"

"Let's go, kiddo"

The first area we covered was by, what did Xigbar call it, oh a palace,

We first checked the northern gate. Then after word I saw dome colored dishes on the west side and then we came across wooden planks on the southern side next to the gate; the southern gate it's self. Later moving to the eastern shop and made our way over to the sand dune next to the Dark Corridor.

Roxas hitting the lever that's on the southwestern side of the area to open the gate, now proceeding to the next area, the Agrabah Street; Where Xigbar and Roxas made their way over to the sand dune on the east side of the entrance, There were more colored dishes on the south side. The sand dune on the west side near the wooden crates. The wooden bridge on the east side on the upper side of the area, The pile of rope on the wooden bridge on the west side of the area; The wall on the west side, over the wooden bridge, the wooden planks on the northwestern corner, on the highest point next to the lever.

"This place is swimming in sand!" said a bored Xigbar. "But I guess that is the breaks when you build a city in the middle of a freaking desert." He added.

"…"

"Past that, other than that it is pretty much a normal town, am I right, kiddo?"

"Huh?"

Xigbar sighed before he turned his full attention to Roxas, "Still with me there? I've seen you spaced out before but this is ridiculously annoying."

"What? I'm fine…I'm fine" replied Roxas.

"As if let me guess, Castle Oblivion." Roxas didn't say anything. "Like I said, the longer we stay here the more in the dark you'll be"

"I know"

Roxas and Xigbar stood atop a building where in front of the closed palace gates were two figures, a man and a woman were conversing. The woman had long black hair; her clothes consisted of small top with poufy looking pants that were the shade of light blue-green while as the man wore a small fez hat and white pants with no shoes and a purple vest.

"You should get some rest Aladdin." said the woman," I'll be fine besides that sand storm looks like it's finally letting up, now's our chance to patch up the city." replied Aladdin.

"That is true, but Aladdin. Still you're going to run yourself ragged at the pace you're going." Spoke Aladdin's female companion.

"Jasmine, you don't need to worry. I'm fine. And since we don't know when the next storm will hit; we need to get everything running before we get hit again." Explained Aladdin, "I know, I only wish Genie were here" sighed Jasmine.

"I miss him too, but this really isn't a job for magic." Said Aladdin, "Agrabah is our city, we need to be the ones to take care of it" he added.

"Of course, you're right"

"Now, I've got to get back to work"

"Wait! I'll help too!" said Jasmine.

"So that guy must be spearheading the city repair efforts. Question is why him, he doesn't look like royalty" said Xigbar.

"Does he have to be?" Roxas asked innocently.

"It's not easy getting people to follow you, especially when it involves work." Xigbar answered. "It's the kind of thing you expect some in power to do, they call all the shots, right?" he added

"True" stated the boy

"But he defiantly wasn't royalty but she however is royalty" pointed out the eye patched man.

"So now what, do we check out the palace?" asked Roxas

"No need, we've got our answers and we've seen the leaders." Said Xigbar

"Good then we can go home?" pestered Roxas.

"Why Roxas did you leave the toaster plugged in?" Xigbar mocking the boy.

"You know why" Roxas said with his gaze going to the sandy ground.

"Hahahah Come on, let's return to the castle"

As Roxas walked closer to the opening dark corridor, a heartless appeared behind the young nobody. Xigbar with a quick motion had shot the heartless out of existence. Roxas then turned around, his eyes locked on the older organization member.

"Hey! Where do the heartless go after their defeated." Roxas asking out of a spontaneous moment, "They don't go anywhere, their gone. Only the hearts they held remain but the hearts go somewhere; Kingdom Hearts" answered the older man.

"So what happens, when someone without a heart is destroyed, like nobodies like us, does something of us remain?" Roxas asked.

"As if, we aren't supposed to exist in the first place, kiddo. What's there for us to leave behind?

"Then whoever it was at castle oblivion is,"

"Gone"

"And I'll never see them again."

"You coming?" as Xigbar entered the portal.

"Uh, yeah"

Roxas was about to follow but he gripped his head into his hands; he felt excruciating pain, like knife was stabbing into his brain. His mind flashing with images of Xion, Axel, members of the organization, then boy with brown hair, he was with a red head girl and a silver haired boy being over watched by a blue hair woman. Last thing was saw was the blue haired women with a tall brown haired boy and a shorter boy, who was identical to himself.

Elsewhere a girl in a white dress and blonde hair sat in white room, as drew in a sketch book; she looked up from it and said,

"Who are you?"

At a dark meridian, a boy comes out of a dark corridor and walks up to the hood man.

"I've been to see him; he looks a lot like you" spoke the hooded man.

"Who are you?" asked Roxas

"I am what's left or maybe I'm all that there ever was?"

"I meant your name" said Roxas

"My name is of no importance. What about you? Do you remember your true name?"

"My True name is…" Roxas's mind going blank.

"You've have been with us for six days now, the time has come" as the hooded man got up from his seat on the rock, his hand removing his hood as he came closer to Roxas; Revealing his Identity to be Xemnas, leader of Organization XIII as he came up to the boy; placing a hand on his shoulder, as he passed by Roxas, an image popping into Roxas's mind, of taller muscled brunette boy and another boy, identical to Roxas, doing the same action as the once hooded man.

"_-_-_-_" said Xemnas.

Roxas slept as the Organization members One and Seven stood over the boy, Xemnas kept tight eye lock on the boy.

"Namine must have finally begun her work which means Roxas's somebody has finally made it to castle oblivion." Said Saix

"Will he wake from this?" asked the Superior

"I am told that he will, provide Namine does strip his somebody of all his memories." answered Saix, "Then much hinges on Castle Oblivion." Xemnas replied, nodding his head.

"We needn't to stop collecting hearts; fourteen has gained power over the keyblade as it was planned. Xion can fill Roxas's pace for the time being." Spoke Saix.

"And the chamber Have they found it?" asked Xemnas.

"No sir, progress is slow. If there was any progress to be made." answered Saix, Xemnas silence was Saix's cue to leave.

"So sleep has taken you yet again…Ventus"

"Sounds like poppet is going to have quite the work load." entered Xigbar's voice. Xemnas groaned inwardly of the annoyance that Xigbar tented to be. "What sounds like 'she' well be needing a hand ya know. I think I know someone who wields an oversized key." Xigbar landing on his feet has he left one of his own space portals, putting his arm around Xemnas shoulders as if they were old friends, "What about it…Terra…?"

One of Xemnas hands flinched at the spoken name.

"I don't know why you bothered to send a 'team' to oblivion to find that room you're always going on about, you and I both know, that only your girlfriend, knows it's real location and she isn't exactly around these days, now is she."

Xemnas didn't say anything, "a stubborn bitch through and through, that one" added Xigbar. Once again Xemnas hand had twitched.

"So is it true, when you went to the old castle. Did norty get himself killed?" asked Xigbar with that malicious smirk on his face.

"Yes, he is gone but not entirely I could sense that piece of him is hanging on by a thread" replied Xemnas as he moved Xigbar's arm. As Xemnas attention went back to the young nobody.

Xigbar sighed at the state of his boss, "no matter how long you stare at the kid. He still never be your friend." Once again that hand flinched and in quick motion it jerked upwards aiming for Xigbar. Xigbar using his powers, dodging it. Xigbar recognized the arm motion.

"ha-ha-ha" he laughed, "was someone trying to summon a keyblade" mocked the free shooter. "and here I thought, that shame you still carry was holding you back…Terra"

End Chapter.
