 "Boss...what happened to us? Something bad...huh?"
Demyx laid his head against Axel, green eyes staring at Xemnas.
"Should we be trying to remember....or no? It hurts, not knowing...but the memories I do have are starting to hurt too....I just don't know anymore..."
Demyx fell silent a minute before continuing.
"Maybe it's not my place to question....whatever you want me to do boss, I'll do it."

 He didn't know what the reports were, but a part of him was curious. "You mean the reports will explain about our past?" Maybe it would prove how .. wrong it felt to chase after this ... Kingdom Hearts. Roxas felt cornered at everybody else's meekness. His once defiant anger was nothing but a longing now, a longing to belong to something, to someone. Even if it meant being quiet for now. The memories still conflicted though, but he said nothing more about them.

Saix stared at Marluxia. For some reason he was both distasteful to Saix but also interesting at the same time. Sometimes laughing, sometimes being deep. It was all too confusing for him. Pick one, pick the other. Just don't be both. That was Saix's stand.
"Marluxia, you should be more happy. We are going to find Kingdom Hearts." That word had triggered his memory, he would now say Kingdom Hearts to everyone he met, to see if it would make them remember something about him, the Organization, or anything that could help them.
As the two walked back to where the group was, Saix grew anxious, he felt other presenses...some other Organization members headed their way?

Marluxia gave a snort at Saix's response, but just shook off the expression and patted No Names head again.
"Kingdom.. hearts?" Why did this ring a bell? The pink haired one remembered a little about it, about getting their hearts back. Ooh yes.. heh... its nice to remember you dont exist doesnt it. Marluxia didnt faulter as he followed behind Saix, all he really didnt was stuff his paws into his pockets. " So the Surperiors back huh?"

Luxord slowly made his way back to the main room, his books done and bets on upcoming events firmly in place. The hollow, lonely echo of his boots clacking against the smooth tile floors preceeded him as he emerged to face the others once again.
What was this? There were more? The figures garbed in the lean black organization robes appeared to have multiplied to include at least two more since his departure.
"Did I...miss something?" The gambler asked no one in particular.

The reports... He really should hand the paper over to Xemnas, but the scarred audio simply couldn't bring himself to do it. Try as he might, Xigbar just couldn't convince himself to give up the document that might have held the answers to his own questions. It was a foolish action, and perhaps a selfish one, but he just...
He shook his head, attempting to clear the thoughts from his mind, to regain his composure. He couldn't allow himself to fall apart like this, couldn't allow himself to sink into the despair that threatened to consume him.
His ears flicked at the sound of approaching footsteps in the hall. Saix was returning and Xigbar couldn't afford to show any weekness than the one he hated so could take advanage of.
Growling at himself, he finally forced himself to look up, but no matter how hard he tried he couldn't hide the sorrow behind his yellow eye.
"The reports..."
He shrugged in a way that he could only hope implied he hadn't seen them.
"Maybe we should search the castle."

Xemnas nodded, hid eyes shifting between each member in turn. There was something dark in his memories as well, something that he couldn't quite place. But rather than fear or shy away from that memory, he'd have had to have a heart for that; he faced it head on.
"They may not tell us everything, but they will answer many question."
Xemnas was a patient man, they had more than enough to time to reach Kingdom Hearts, there was no rush. Searching for the reports would not only bring them answers, but perhaps it would also bring the group closer together.
His eyes shifted toward his number 2 who had barely spoken a word since his arrival. Yellow gaze focused on the scarred canine as if trying to read him. After several moments of silence which certainly made the others squirm, he nodded thoughtfully before speaking again.
"Perhaps..."

Something in him sensed Roxas grow alittle more distant, and Axel squeezed his hand again, pulling him a little closer physically, if not emotionally. He gave him a brief smile, and turned his attention back to the room.
As Xigbar shrugged, Axel let out a breath he wasn't aware he had been holding. Xigbar hadn't told Xemnas about the report he'd found. Good. Well, kindof good. Part of him did feel bad for deceiving their boss, but as long as Xigbar kept quiet about it, so would he. "Yeah." he said. "Search it form top to bottom. Might help us remmeber some things, too, if we looked around more...right?"
Axel caught sight of Luxord and hoped he didn't remember that he still owed him munny. He'd pay him back eventually. Really! "Yeah, numbskull! You missed something." He retorted in a sarcastic tone, jerking his chin at Xemnas.

At the mention of searching the castle, Demyx chimed in. He had done just that while he was separated from Axel.
"I've looked around a bit....it's kinda weird though..."
He fidgeted a bit, eyeing Xemnas nervously.
"It's like...every corner I turned, brought back some tiny memory...but made me think of ten more questions...."
Demyx casted a glance to Luxord as he returned. The young Audio still had no idea on that one's personality, but right now it wasn't all that important...
"So...back to searching I guess....huh?"

The appearance of this new person, yet again garbed in black, distracted Roxas for a second, he glanced at the gambler (again a part of him wondered how he knew that, but he had already given up trying to reason with himself) before attempting to commit himself to the situation at hand. Then there was that other thing. Roxas could have sworn Axel and Xigbar were looking at something before he had shied out of the shadows. It couldn't have been... but.. why? It didn't matter, whatever they wanted to do, he would just let them plan it. It didn't matter because he knew the result, if they ever found it, would lead to more strife. Did anything even matter, a part of him wanted to say, but it was the warmth he felt in Axel that told him something did, something should have. Roxas looked down, fidgeting. "How do we know these reports are even where we are? What if there are other... worlds?"

Saix glared at Marluxia. "Of course he is back, he brought us together in the first place, he would not abandon us." Abandonment...that word hit Saix hard for some reason...it hurt him like no blade could. "Quickly, there they are!" Saix pointed at the group. "Ah, and Luxord is back as well. Seems like our group is finally re-forming itself." Saix approached the superior. "Sir, Marluxia is here."

"Hoy theirs no need to be so touchy over a question." He said sending glares right on back towards the blue haired hot-head. From the way Saix was talking it sounded like Xemnas was the one that had brought them back from.. well wherever they where. "I see."
He followed behind him until he blurted out they where their, lifting up his head he spotted the group, well.. msot of the group. "Four of us seem to be missing still.." He managed to say before also walking up to the Superior. Giving a small greeting bow towards Xemnas he didnt loose eyecontact with him. "its good to see you back and in good health Superior." Marluxia knew all too well Xemnas has a tendancy to twist around words, so he might have taken his speach as a insult. Marluxia lifted his body back up, regaining his normal posture.
In the meantime No Name just stared up at the new man infront of him that his master had bowed down to. The grey haired one seemed to radiate vibes that sent chills down his furred back. Giving a squeak he took refuge in Marluxia's hood.

Luxord growled slightly at Axel's snide retort. His face quickly lost it's anger however as Marluxia's words reached him. "Superior?" He looked at Xemnas with a skeptical eye. This was their leader? Hmph. Not exactly what he'd expected. However, if he truely did rule over all of them, he must hold enormous power. Even now, the gambler sensed that power, as well as a cold and unforgiving attitude. He would have to be careful around this one.
Luxord hid his suprise under a veiled, expressionless, mask. He gave the superior a simple curteous nod. Keeping silent, he listened to the ongoing conversation so as to grasp the concept of what he'd missed in his absence.

Xigbar shot a glance at Axel, perhaps grateful that the other kept silence. Lying to the superior wasn't really the best move, but so long as no one said anything, he could simply hand over the document when he was done with it and claim he'd just found it. Of course if anyone did tell, he'd be in serious trouble.
So then why had he been so ready to take that chance? Search as he might, he couldn't find an answer, he just had to hang on to that paper. Not that there was any turning back, he'd alreday lied. He could only hope that no one else had seen the paper, and even moreso that they wouldn't tell the superior if they had.
He made a note to share the document with Axel before turning it over to the superior.

Xemnas' eyes moved through the room, his gaze settling on Luxord for a moment, giving the other a cold look, before he looked to Roxas with a trace of suspicion. Hmmmm....
"We will not know that until we look. For now we will focus on the castle, perhaps we will find other answers here as well."
His ears flicked as Saix entered the room with Marluxia, cold yellow eyes narrowed on the pink haired audio. So...the traitor had dared return. For a moment the superior thought of killing him on the spot, but no he could still have his uses. Xemnas would just have to make it clear that any subordination on the other's part would be most...unfortunate. His voice was cold, chilling, forebodding as he spoke to Marluxia.
"You will come with me. The rest of you have your orders."
