A/N: Wow…this story has come a long way…It's awesome how many people like it and have it as a fave! You all rock, so I'm going to let you all in on something: You'd think that I would have this planned out, right? …Well, I never exactly plan it out, which sort of explains a bit of the crappiness some chapters hold. I just write what comes to mind. Don't ask me how I do it, because in all honest, I don't know! Ha-ha, so, in case anyone hasn't noticed yet, I'm a big fan of the music in the Kingdom Hearts games, and Final Fantasy VII, which you probably don't know unless you've read my other fanfics. So, I use a lot of music references in my stories that are usually from different videogames. Yes, I know that it's strange, but its just how I work. So, most characters (Such as protagonists, in this case, Sora, Riku, and Kairi) have their own themes. So, Hope will have a theme as well….At least until I decide what theme I wanna give her. Yeah, I gonna just shut-up now and let you go and read. Enjoy, and please review!

Disclaimer: In case you haven't realized it yet, I own nothing, except for this story and Hope.

Dear diary,

Tomorrow, I'm leaving with Axel and several of the other members for Castle Oblivion, another castle that the Organization uses for research purposes mainly, at least that's what Xemnas told me. The only reason that I'm being sent there is to search for some chamber that the castle supposedly holds in it. Apparently, it holds something connected to Xemnas's past, before he was Xehanort. Even after four years and becoming a Nobody…he's still searching for his past and true memories before he ever came to Radiant Garden.

I'm not sure what the chamber holds, but if I find it, I'll know soon enough. Aside from that, something isn't right. Lately…I've been waking up with some type of memory that I don't remember ever experiencing. It's strange….Perhaps I'm under too much stress? I feel bad that we have to leave Roxas, but I'm sure he'll be fine while we're away.

I should get some sleep. Good night.

Axel was not fond of the idea that Hope was going too. One word: Marluxia. Axel couldn't stand "flower boy" and his constant flirting with Hope. Of course, Hope ignored it, but it bothered Axel. So, having Hope going somewhere that Marluxia would be in charge of was just asking for trouble.

"Stupid flower boy and his stupid scythe…If I could just 'accidentally' trip him into a volcano and watch him b-"

"Axel!" His train of thought and mumbling was broken by Hope running over to him. "Axel, we have to go."

'I'd rather not…' "Right."

The two headed downstairs and onto the lift, allowing it to carry them down to the exit of the castle. As they got off, Saix appeared, awaiting them as they approached. Axel glowered at him, grabbing Hope's arm and pulling her closer to him, lifting his hand and opening a portal, passing Saix by.

"Axel, there's no need to get over protective of our little friend here." Saix commented smugly, earning a low growl from Axel.

"What do you want?" Axel asked, annoyed that he wasn't able to do anything without interruptions popping up.

"I have a message from Lord Xemnas for you both. We have reason to believe that one or more of the members assigned to C.O. intend to betray us." Saix said, directing a smirk to Hope as he saw her eyes widen in shock, only causing her to go into more shock with his next words, "Find them and dispose of them."

Hope moved out from behind Axel, her hands clenched in fists. "But-"

"There will not be any buts. We're expecting you to dispose of them too, so if you find out which members that are planning to betray us, you better rid of them…or else, there will be serious consequences involved." Saix said, his tone cold and terrifying.

Axel glanced over at Saix and grinned, "And I take it that's straight from Lord Xemnas's lips, huh?"

Saix smirked, while Hope frowned at him as Axel gently pulled her through the portal with him, where they walked through and into a large and very open white room. Hope looked around, realizing that it was exactly just like the other castle. Sighing loudly, she turned to look at Axel, who was no longer standing next to her, but with the other members and a young blond girl in a white dress, who looked sad and a but scared. Hope trotted over to the group and stood in between Axel and Zexion, whom she greeted with a cheerful hug.

"Our mission is clear. We're to lure Sora deeper into the castle and manipulate him for the Organization's use, by using Namine here to help with that." Marluxia explained, placing a hand on Namine's shoulder and pushing her forward a little, almost causing her to fall, had it not been for Hope he steadied her. "Unless you have different orders, get to work. Come, Namine…" Marluxia said, opening up a portal and walking through it, Namine running after him. Everyone else did as they were told and went to their jobs.

The next day-

Axel had sent Hope to the 5th floor to conduct her search for the chamber. While she was looking, she wondered what this Sora person was like, and who he was. Maybe he was a nice kid that was someone who wanted to be everyone's friend?

'How many floors did Axel say this place had? 13 floors and 12 basements? That's 25 floors to search for one chamber…Something tells me that I'll be here for awhile…'

She stopped the flow of negative thoughts and began rapping her knuckles against the wall, seeing if she could find some type of hollow spot in the wall that suggested something hidden within it. She spent several hours doing that, and when she found nothing, she resulted into kicking at the walls.

'How hard can it be to find one stinking room?'

Let's just say that she had a lot more ahead of her.

A/N: Sorry, for the shortness, but I'm not sure if I should have her encounter Sora and his friends yet…Tell me what you guys think! LATER TATERS!
