Sora wanted to laugh, they two looked so embarrassed.

Axel turned, seeing the other two, his face even red. " What is it?" He asked.

"We wanted to see if you recognized this symbol." Riku said, holding out the knife case to Roxas.

Roxas examined the symbol closely, the blush slowly fading from his face. It was silent for a few seconds before nodding. "Yeah. It's kinda familiar. It looks kinda like the symbol of this man who used to work for my dad. But when he was fired, my dad had all things that was connected to the man destroyed."

Axel peered down an look at the symbol. " I haven't seen this in a while" He mumbled. When the three of them turned to look at him confused. " Awhile ago, some guy tried to get me to join some organization, and this was their symbol. Though I turned them down" He said.

" Well what does this mean?" He asked.

Roxas shrugged. "I have no idea." he said.

"This organization must be the people who are trying to kill you two." Riku said. "So if we find them, we can be able to eliminate them."

" Yeah, the tricky part is trying to figure out how many are apart of it " He said.

" Oh I see." Sora said.

"That shouldn't matter. If we get rid of their leader, they won't be much of a problem." Riku said.

"But where exactly are we supposed to find them?" Roxas asked.

Riku shrugged. "I have no idea."

" I'm sure they are somewhere close to here. They might even be hiding in the castle it's self" He said.



Sora stood there listening to everyone.

Riku shook his head. "They're not in the castle. I searched it from top to bottom and there wasn't a trace of them." he said.

Roxas was silent for a few seconds. He picked up the dirty dishes from the table and brought them into the kitchen because he didn't know what to say.

" I guess, we can try checking the nearby area" Axel said.



Sora decide to help Roxas out.

Riku nodded. "Alright. We should get going as soon as possible then."

" Alright, then let's go." Sora said softly.

"You can't go without protection Sora." Riku said.

" But" Sora said.

"He's right, going with out protection, isn't a good idea for you" Axel said.

"I'll go and protect Sora." Roxas offered.

Riku shook his head. "No. I can protect him."

" Then who will protect your Roxy?" He asked.

" Maybe this isn't such a good idea. " Sora said concerned.

"I can protect myself." Roxas said, crossing his arms lightly across his chest.

"It's a fine idea. We need to find the people who are trying to kill you two. But we can't leave you alone." Riku said.

" Roxas your the heir to this kingdom it would be foolish to leave you or Sora alone" Axel said.

" Then what's you suggestion Ku?" He asked.

Roxas frowned lightly. He was sure that he was able to take care of himself. But there was no point in arguing.

"The only thing I could think of is for you two to come with us when we search for the Organization. Or, we get someone to protect you while me and Axel look." Riku said.

" Well that sounds like the best idea, but can we really trust anyone else to look after them?" Axel asked Riku.

Riku shook his head. "Not really. The only safe place I could think of would be the castle, but that would mean we would have to tell the king about them switching."

" Yes, we have to tell, but that can be dangerous for them too" Axel said.

Roxas shook his head. "We're not telling my dad. I'm going with you to find these people." he said.

" Come on Roxy, please be reasonable" Axel said.

Roxas shook his head. "We're not telling my father about it. Sora might go to jail if its known that he switched places with me. And so could you, for knowing about it and not doing anything about it." he said.

" But, Roxy, I just want you to be safe." Axel said with a sigh.
