"Saix, what do you mean you don't know? What's really going on here? Why won't Roxas wake up?" You questioned your old friend in a stern tone. You didn't know why he was acting like a jerk, but you weren't going to stand for it.

"Silence." You raised an eyebrow at him.

"Isa." You said as you gave him a cold glare.

"I am no longer Isa, [Y/N]." Saix finally turned his body towards you. "The members at Castle Oblivion are all terminated."

"Lea is gone? And Ienzo?" Something was wrong. Your eyes were welling up with tears. "Is that why you're acting like this? Because Lea is gone?" You grabbed onto Saix's coat as you let the tears fall from your eyes. You couldn't break eye contact with him.

"I've seen your reports to Vexen." Saix gently shoved you off of him. You held your hands in front of where your heart would have been.

"My reports..." You trailed off. "Those mean nothing! It's an assignment from the Superior!" You turned your head back to Roxas. You stared at his sleeping body, worried that he would never wake up again too.

"[Y/N]'s reports are none of your concern, Saix." You turned your head to see Xemnas finally in the room. He locked eyes with you for a moment before raising an eyebrow. "Ah? Are these tears I see?" You quickly tried to wipe them away. "I expect your report to give full details on how the Castle Oblivion news has affected your emotions."

You nodded your head and looked down. You felt ashamed that Saix had found out about your special assignment. You knew he loved you as a Somebody, but you never knew if he loved you now. Did he dwell on the memories of love? Did he even want you in his life as a Nobody?

"I've also added a new assignment to your list." You looked up to Xemnas. "Xion is now without Roxas. We don't know how long this will last. I need you to accompany her on further missions now that she can use the keyblade."

"Xion can use the keyblade?" You looked back to Roxas for a bit before facing Xemnas again. "Lord Xemnas I accept but-"

"But?"

"Are the Castle Oblivion members really terminated? They're...gone forever?" Xemnas walked past you and Saix to take a look at Roxas.

"We have not heard from them." Xemnas turned to you. You looked down.

"Lord Xemnas, I presume that's enough information for her. She doesn't even have a number." Saix was still using his stern voice. Was he that upset about your assignment?

"[Y/N], you are dismissed."

You turned and started to walk out of the room. Just as you passed Saix you whispered something to him. "I'm sorry, Isa." You then continued to leave the room just before hearing the Superior question Saix. "Isa?"

You smirked, if Saix was going to act like your friendship from before meant nothing then you figured it was time for the Superior to know about it. You weren't just some useless Nobody with no number. You knew that you had a worth. You knew who could see that worth.

"Number Zero, The Toxic Synthesis." You looked up to see Xigbar looking down at you. His smirk wiped yours off. Suddenly you could feel tears welling up yet again. "Whoa, whoa, whoa." Xigbar came closer to you and put a hand on your shoulder. "What happened in there?"

"Roxas...he..." You let a few tears fall. You watched as they hit the ground, creating tiny puddles. "Roxas won't wake up and...Castle Oblivion."

"Ah, about that..." Xigbar started to lead you away further from Roxas' room. "I'm not sure about this whole Roxas thing, but I understand you're worried about your little friends at Castle Oblivion. Now look, Axel was sent on a very special mission there. Remember how I said I used to be a hitman?" You nodded. "Well Axel is the hitman of the organization. His mission was to take out the traitors."

"Zexion said that he was suspected to be a traitor..." You could feel your tears coming back again.

"Is he a traitor?"

"No he isn't!" You exclaimed.

"Whoa there." Xigbar stopped the two of you from walking. "If he isn't a traitor, then no need to worry." You looked down to the ground for the hundreth time that day. "It'll be fine. Your friends will come back, the traitors won't, and you can live all happy yet again."

"Aqua..." You muttered under your breath. Xigbar raised an eyebrow. "You said Aqua took away your eye, but that's a lie."

"How do you know? You weren't there." Xigbar looked concerned.

"It was Terra." You could feel your body start to sway. You didn't know how these words were coming out. You didn't know what you were talking about. You then stumbled for a bit until Xigbar caught you.

"You're talking nonsense over here." Xigbar picked you up.

"I know..." You muttered as you felt fatigue take over your body. You watched as your vision faded in and out as Xigbar took you back to your room. He laid you down then sat at the foot of the bed.

"What was that? Are you okay?" He asked. You gently shook your head no.

"It wasn't me talking. The words just came out." You turned to your side. "I don't even know those people."

"You should get some rest. I don't think a Nobody can take all of that crying in one day." You sighed as you let sleep overcome your body.

-----

"[Y/N]." You moved a bit in your bed. "[Y/N]!" You groaned as you slowly sat up.

"What is it?" You opened your eyes to see Xion. "Oh, Xion." You yawned then stood up.

"We have our first mission together." You nodded your head as you walked to your bathroom to brush your teeth. Xion followed you. "What are you doing?" She looked in awe as you began to brush your teeth.

"I'm brushing my teeth." You said after you spit out into the sink. You used water to rinse out the sink, your toothbrush, and your mouth.

"Why?" Xion asked as she followed you back into your room.

"Hm...Do Nobodies even have to brush their teeth?" You said. "I'm not sure Xion, I know Somebodies have to do it. Don't you remember?"

Xion shook her head. "I don't know who I was or how I got here." You winced, that was an awkward question.

"Alright, so a mission huh?" Xion nodded her head. "Where to?"

-----

"Now we go get ice cream." Xion said as her keyblade vanished in a spark of light.

"I haven't had ice cream with Roxas or Axel in forever..." You said. Xion smiled as she led you to the ice cream shop then to the clock tower. She sat down then patted the spot next to her. She gave you your ice cream as you sat down.

"Usually we talk now." She said as she took a bite out of her ice cream. "I don't know what to say."

"I can tell you a story."

"About what?" She asked.

"You have to promise not to tell anyone." Xion nodded her head enthusiastically. "Okay, it's about how I ended up here." You took the last bite of your ice cream and set the stick down. "My name, [Y/N], it doesn't have an x in it. I'm the only Nobody to keep my Somebody name. I grew up in Radiant Garden like half of the Organization. I didn't know a lot of people, but I did know Zexion, Axel and Saix."

"Which one was Zexion?" Xion asked.

"He was always in the library. He also got sent to Castle Oblivion. Anyways, their Somebody names were Ienzo, Lea, and Isa. I knew Ienzo before Lea and Isa. Ienzo and I used to take baths together as babies." You laughed. "Then one day, he had to go away to the big castle in the middle of town. He was taken in by a mentor to teach him some science stuff I didn't understand. I had Lea and Isa, though. We caused all kinds of trouble in town. I would make them food all of the time too." You stopped for a moment to look at Xion. Her big blue eyes were wide, waiting for the next part.

"Isa was in love with me, although I never knew it. And I...I was in love with Lea. I think he knew it, but didn't want to hurt Isa's feelings if he loved me too."

"Love?" Xion asked.

"Oh right. Love can be a few things. It can be the love a mom has for her child, how she protects her child from harm. It can also be the love you have for your best friend, like me and Ienzo. He was my good friend, and I loved him as a friend. The last kind of love...It's when two people care about each other so much that they decide that want to spend the rest of their lives with each other."

"Roxas is my friend, does that mean I love him?" She asked.

"Is he your best friend?"

"I don't think so. Not yet. But when he is then that's love?" You laughed.

"Sure it can." Xion nodded her head. "Anyways, one day Lea and Isa got a job at the castle. So they left me to go there. I hadn't seen Ienzo in years. I would barely see Isa and Lea after that day. But...one day an accident happened at the castle. The town wasn't sure what it was, but we weren't allowed to go near it anymore. I started to forget about Lea and Isa until-" "The day you became a Nobody?" Xion asked.

"Sort of. I had amnesia when I first started here. It took me a while to remember, but soon I was reunited with Ienzo, not Zexion. I was so happy to have my childhood best friend back. He was happy too, I think. I would make an effort to go to the library to see him and talk about books. He seemed to just enjoy my company."

"And Axel and Saix?" Xion asked.

"Well...they know that I remember. Axel and I haven't talked about it much because...he left to Castle Oblivion just after he found out. I thought Saix and I were going to be friends again but, he's been really cold to me. I don't know what's gotten into him."

"You have me and Roxas." Xion said. "And Axel when he comes back. And Zexion too!" You gave Xion a smile, although there was hurt in your eyes. She was so optimistic about Axel and Zexion returning. You didn't know if they would. You wished that you could speak with them.

"Yeah Xion, you're right."

-----

"[Y/N]? How come you've been so down lately?" Demyx asked as he looked over your shoulder.

"You're burning the chicken!" You looked down at what you were cooking to indeed see that you were burning the chicken. You turned off the stove and put the pan on a cold burner. You sighed and sat down at the kitchen table.

"I can't do anything right." You sulked. Demyx sat down next to you and pouted.

"That's not true." He looked as if he was thinking of more ways to make you feel better. "Is it because Roxas is asleep and Saix isn't talking to you and Axel and Zexion are probably dead?"

You turned to Demyx with a horrified look on your face. "I mean that's exactly why but, why would you say it out loud like that?" You put your head in your hands, trying not to cry.

"You don't think you can fix anything?" Demyx asked.

"I don't know..." You felt useless.

"You should at least try." Demyx put a hand on your shoulder. "The [Y/N] I know and love wouldn't just give up without trying." You gave a small smile, although Demyx couldn't see it.

"I guess there is something that I can do..."
