A/N:

Ahhh… Sora. How you ruin the plans of the Nobodies…

Well, I'm updating again, so BE HAPPY! I know I killed Vexy an' all, but please! Work with me!

Yukia stared at the white ashes previously known as Vexen. Her eyes blinked a few times before becoming blurred and fading, as she fell to the ground. Axel had caught her before she hit the ground and slung her over his shoulder, grunting softly and the dead weight. Riku had ran away, not caring much about the outcome of Vexen death.

"Let's get you back to CO, Yukia…"

Yukia awoke to someone softly stroke her hair, pulling on it and running their fingers through it. She almost snuggled warmly into the touch, but then thought this is what Vexen used to do to get me up in the morning… he was gentle then, too.

She then shot up, seeing the pink-haired Nobody staring at her with bemused eyes. She wanted to curl up in a ball somewhere for some reason, but quickly abandoned the idea for thought.

Where am I? What happened to Vexen? Why can't I seem to remember…

Marluxia scoffed lightly at her panicked movements, watching her fidget and scramble to pull herself together. He ran his fingers through his hair, sparing another glance in her direction. Now standing to his full height, Marluxia walked over to the only door in the room.

"Yukia, stay here. A blonde girl in a white dress will be here soon to give you orders."

Yukia only nodded, not really hearing his words.

She panicked, quickly going over to the small window- and saw nothing to fabulous outside, just stars.

Looking at the small square window, she thought furiously. The window looks big enough for me to get through, but… what if I'm really high up? The man… Mar… whatever-his-name-was locked the door on the way out…Oh… what do I do…?

Yukia closed her eyes, leaning up against the white wall of her confinement.

The door clicked, meaning it was being unlocked. Her head shot up, black hair whooshing around her head, like little needles. The blonde girl in the white dress appeared from the door, and Yukia smiled slightly.

"Hello," the girl said. "I'm Namine."

Namine closed the door softly, clutching her notebook tightly in her hands. Her smile faded, and she walked over to the girl against the wall.

"You're Yukia, right?"

"…I think I am."

Good, Namine thought. Her memories are already being re-arranged… my plan is going nicely. If I could just make her forget certain things, then maybe… she down casted her eyes. Maybe I can help her get to a more secure world… or a world of illusions…

"Hey… Nam…Namine?"

"What is it?" she sat next to the girl.

Yukia fidgeted with her thumbs, like she was forgetting what she wanted to say. "W-why… what am I doing here?"

Namine smiled again, holding the Replica's hand in hers. "You're here to… run away."

Marluxia braided Larxene's hair, undoing it and redoing it over and over again. Something wasn't right, and her knew it, but didn't quite know what it was. Namine should be done with her by now, he thought angrily, tugging on Larxene's hair again. What the hell is going on with her lately?

"Marly," Larxene cringed as he roughly pulled on her hair for the third time, "STOP IT, NOW!"

Marluxia snapped out of his daze, letting go of Larxene and her hair.

"Sorry, Larx. I was thinking."

"That's new." She scoffed lightly, admiring her own dry humor. "Everything's going exactly as planned[1], no need to fret over trivial matters."

The Graceful Assassin hit her upside the head.

"Something's wrong. I told Namine to send her on a mission to gather ingridients- she needs to be distracted properly, otherwise the 'Superior'-" he snorted "-might want to keep her. We need to make her look as pathetic as possible."

Yukia looked at Namine again, stricken to un-belief in her words.

"This boy…" she said to her once initial shock passed, "he's… in a slumber?"

Namine nodded. "I put him in an early slumber, to re-arrange his memories. I need to make him forget some things…"

"Forget?" she furrowed her brows. "Loose the memories completely?"

"No, no!" she shook her head from side to side. "Not 'loose' them. 'Forget' them. It's much different. You can never 'loose' a memory, only 'forget' them."

"I… see."

"So, the memories will always be there, but they'll just be forgotten."

Yukia rubbed her eyes. "And so… this is what you want to do… to me?"

She nodded. "It is essential to your escape. I need to make you 'forget' all of the things about the Organization… me… and Vexen."

Yukia stiffened. That name, Vexen. He was my Creator… what happened to him?

"Where is he now?"

Namine almost blanched. "Y…you've already forgotten? He… Axel killed him, Yukia."

Yukia felt something akin to anger rise in her chest at this 'Axel' person. "Where is he? Tell me, Namine!"

Namine pushed the girl away gently, trying to calm her down.

"Yukia, we need to make you 'forget' the memories now, please. Follow me, Yukia."

She grabbed her hand, and walked over to the door, opening it slightly. Looking around and seeing nothing or anyone, pulled Yukia out the door and down the hall, going down a few flights of stairs.

"We need to be quick, so Marluxia doesn't see us,"

A light bulb flickered on in Yukia's head when she said 'Marluxia'. That was the name of the pink-haired man.

"What will he do if he finds us?"

Namine stopped as she opened a portal[2].

"Kill us."

Yukia didn't speak as she was brought through the portal, nor did she when she was led over to the giant white cocoon that was sealed off.

"Look through this here," she said, pointing to the cocoon-thing.

Yukia stepped closer to the cocoon, peering through it.

She stepped backwards and fell over when she saw a brown-haired boy with his eyes closed in the confinement- almost as if he was a statue. She knew he wasn't, because his chest was slowly moving up and down, meaning that he was alive.

"This boy… this is what you need to do to me?"

Namine nodded silently. "Yes."

Yukia gulped. "How long will I be like that?"

Namine pondered the matter lightly, and put her hands together. "Not as long as him. You're already forgetting most of your memories of the Organization and Vexen. It shouldn't take me more than a few days."

"Like… a week or three days, Namine?"

"About that timeline, yes."

She turned to look at the blonde. "I'll 'forget' everyone? Everything? Even…" she blushed lightly "all my friends?"

"Like I said, Yukia, you'll 'forget', but the memories won't ever be 'lost'."

She went over to Namine. "Promise me, please…" she looked the blonde in the eyes. "Let me remember at least one memory of Dem…Dem.." she stopped speaking.

I'm… I'm forgetting him already? No… his name… Demy…

"Demyx!" she half-yelled. "Let me remember just one memory with him… please…"

Namine shook her head, holding Yukia's hand again. "If I do that, you'll still be connected to the Nobodies and the Organization. I'm sorry, Yukia, but you need to 'forget' everything."

A small tear streaked down Yukia's face, and she clutched onto Namine's hand tightly. "O…okay, Namine. Let's just… get this over with."

Namine nodded, leading her into a new room, with nothing in it but a white chair.

"How does it work, Namine?"

Namine sat down in the chair, flipping open her sketch book, and pulling out a colored pencil. "Stand over there, on the big circle." As she did so, Namine began immediately to draw, using the same process she used on Sora. And, in ten minutes flat, Yukia was inside a cocoon, slipping into a temporary sleep.

"I'm sorry, Yukia. You'll 'forget' me, too…"
