Yuki scanned the paper stuck up on the window of the common room. It had a list of each members mission for the day. A few names were put side by side marking they had to work together. It wasn't the usual method of assigning work. The usual was Aysui ordering everyone about, but this worked just as well. If not better.

Yuki's name was beside number five's, Rimyei. Yuki had rarely spoken to her. And from what Yuki had heard, she barely spoke at all. Yuki sighed and turned looking to locate number five.

Rimyei was a short woman with a cold look always present in her eyes. She looked to be in her late teens, 18 at the most. Her hair was short and a very light brown that looked pink. Her eyes were a more obvious pink than her hair. Her Heartless emblem was pink outlined in purple. Yuki approached her cautiously. She was unsure of the older member she barely knew. Something about her made Yuki tentative.

"Are you prepared?" Rimyei asked noticing Yuki. Yuki nodded rather than speak aloud. "Good," Rimyei said. She summoned a dark corridor and walked through it not waiting for Yuki. Yuki sighed then followed her.

They ended up in Twilight Town, where a large majority of Yuki's missions seemed to take her. Rimyei was already several paces ahead of Yuki looking around the town for their target. A Heartless known as a Lurk Lizard. Yuki jogged a bit to catch up with her. Rimyei didn't say a word.

"So, um, what's a Lurk Lizard?" Yuki asked glancing at Rimyei as they looked around. Rimyei was silent making Yuki wonder if she had even heard her.

"It's a large lizard-like Heartless that can blend into its surroundings." Rimyei explained. Her voice was perfectly even. It sounded robotic with an absence of something. What that something was Yuki couldn't tell.

"Oh, that'll make it harder to find won't it?" Yuki asked. Rimyei didn't reply. Yuki sighed. This was going to be an interesting mission.

They searched most of Twilight Town without finding a trace of the Lurk Lizard. The world seemed to be completely peaceful with very few Heartless around at all. No sign of any trouble within the town's walls. The only place left to check was the forest outside of the town.

"It appears the Heartless isn't here." Rimyei said calmly. "We should return to the castle and report." She turned to look at Yuki. Yuki raised an eyebrow in question.

"What about the forest outside of town? Couldn't it be out there?" Yuki asked.

"I've been ordered to avoid taking you out there at all cost." Rimyei answered. Yuki tipped her head to the side confused.

"What do you mean? Why can't I go out there?" Yuki asked. She pouted crossing her arms and glaring at Rimyei. Rimyei shrugged.

"I don't know. But it's orders." She said calmly. Her voice remained firm as if it was final and Yuki should have known that. Yuki studied her looking for any sign she might be lying. There was nothing to give it away if she was. Her face was expressionless and her body language didn't change. Yuki sighed looking down thinking. She glanced back up again after a minute ready to accept defeat and return to the castle. But her attention was caught suddenly by the chain that hung from Rimyei's coat. All Heartless had two chains that hung off their coats around their hoods. On these chains were charms of some kind. One was a Heartless emblem. The other Yuki had assumed was a star like her own. But that wasn't the case with Rimyei. Her second charm was a sky blue star-shaped flower with yellow at the center.

"What's your charm?" Yuki blurted out the question without thinking about it. Not that she ever thought about what she asked. She always said the first thing that came to mind.

Rimyei looked at her then lifted up the charm in question. "This is a forget me not." She said simply.

"What's it mean?" Yuki asked. Rimyei was silent for a while before responding. She, unlike Yuki, thought things through before replying.

"Many things to many people. Mourning, remembrance, undying love, loyalty." Rimyei finally said. Her eyes took in the charm as she spoke. Yuki rolled her eyes exasperated. Did anyone in this universe know how to answer a question directly?

"Well, what does it mean to you?" Yuki pressed. Rimyei pressed her lips together tightly. Her eyes filled with thought as she frowned. Yuki tapped her foot on the ground as she waited what seemed like hours for a reply.

"To me, it is a symbol of who I once was. All of us in the organization carry one such charm to remind us where we came from and what we are aiming for." Rimyei said calmly. She turned her back on Yuki and summoned a dark corridor. Yuki took that as meaning the conversation was over. Yuki followed Rimyei silently through the corridor back to their castle. She would return to Twilight Town after reporting to Aysui.

Yuki looked at the charm on her coat. It was a star. But maybe not. The edges were slightly rounded and there was something green near the top. Maybe it was something different Yuki would have to look into it more.

*<3*

After reporting back to Aysui, Yuki returned to Twilight town. On the clock tower, Yuki met X and Y. Roxas was yet to arrive as was Axel and Xion. X sat looking at the ground deep in thought. Y was looking up at the sky, her feet swinging back and forth like a child's. Yuki could see the chain on her coat. It was a pink charm shaped like a star with a silver heart in the center. The heart was shaped a little oddly, not smooth like most representations of a heart were. X's charm was hidden behind his arm. Yuki sat down beside X and glanced over at the other two.

"How was your mission today?" Y asked cheerfully. Yuki shrugged.

"Nothing much. We didn't even find the Heartless we were looking for." She said. She looked back down at the ground. "Rimyei told me what the symbols on our chains are supposed to mean." Yuki added calmly as if it really wasn't that important. Y looked at her curiously.

"The wayfinder?" She asked. Yuki looked at her confused.

"What's a wayfinder?" Yuki asked. X sighed and shook his head. Y held up her charm. Yuki held up her own charm to demonstrate their differences.

"They're all different." X said calmly, mostly to Y. He held up his own which was a heart with spikes near the top. It nearly looked angry, or maybe sad. Y's eyes narrowed at the heart, her expression changing to one of displeasure. "I used to think they were the same too, but they're not. They're unique and special to whoever they belong to. Like Y, yours is a symbol of your friendship. Yuki, I have no clue what the hell yours even is." X explained ignoring Y's dirty look.

"What about yours? What does it mean." Yuki asked curiously. Y's frown grew.

"It's the symbol of a long-dead race called the unversed. It's kind of like Y's, a reminder of a friend." X explained. Y finally looked away from the heart still frowning.

"I can't believe you counted him as a friend." She said disgusted. X rolled his eyes ignoring her. Yuki raised an eyebrow questioningly. X ignored her as well.

"What does Y mean?" Yuki asked trying to stop X from avoiding her question. X frowned looking out towards the horizon.

"It's not that big a deal. She just didn't like him." He replied. Yuki nodded looking out towards the setting sun. They sat in silence for a short time until Roxas joined them. They exchanged greetings but didn't say much more for a few minutes.

"So, where's Axel at?" Y asked after a few moments. Roxas shrugged in reply not looking towards the blonde Heartless.

"Dunno, haven't seen him or Xion today." He said casually. Yuki looked at him frowning. Y did the same then glanced at the sky that was turning red from the setting sun. X let out a sigh.

"How odd for them both to vanish like that. I wonder what they're up to." X said offhandedly. His eyes had closed and Yuki had the suspicion he was either trying to start something or knew more than he was letting on. Which one it was she couldn't be sure of. She glanced at Y who was looking at X very suspiciously. Roxas hadn't seemed to notice.

"Yeah, it is pretty weird." He agreed.

Day 73- Symbols,
Today I was assigned to go to Twilight Town with No. 5, Rimyei. We were supposed to find this thing called the lurk lizard but we couldn't find it in the town. Apparently, I'm not allowed in the forest anymore. Rimyei didn't seem to know why.
Another interesting thing was I noticed the charms we carry on our coats are different. They're symbols that remind us of our goal. Mine is a star like thing, but I'm not sure what it means.
There was no sign of Axel or Xion at the clock tower today.

*<3*

"X, are you sure it's safe to drink out of the random bottle that says 'drink me'?" Y asked tapping her foot as she watched her brother skeptically. Yuki couldn't help but agree with Y as she was looked around the strange room. It was a moderate size, neither large nor small. It looked very strange overall.

"Yes, I'm sure. I've been to this world plenty of times. If you want to get out of this room, you have to drink from this bottle. The other we'll need later." X replied calmly. He looked at both Yuki and Y with almost no expression. Y pouted and continued to glare at her brother annoyed.

"I don't believe you. What is this world called anyway? You haven't told us that yet." She demanded. X looked away not meeting Y's eyes.

"Nowhere special. Just another world." X replied almost mumbling.

"X, tell me now." Y ordered. Her voice filled with authority as she stared at her brother. It was almost scary. X though didn't seem phased.

"I'm not one of your friends you can scare into doing as you say." X said finally meeting his sister's eyes. Yuki stepped in between them hoping to stop a fight.

"Alright kids, no fighting. It's not that big a deal. X, just tell us what this world is called and me and Y will do as you say and drink from the weird bottle." Yuki said. She looked between the two waiting for a response. X was looking conflicted. He looked down not meeting Yuki's eyes. Y was looking down in a similar manner as if trying to argue with herself.

"Fine." They both agreed in unison. Both looked up surprised they had said that. Yuki frowned for a second but shrugged it off.

"Ok, X, what is this world called?" Yuki asked.

"Wonderland," X said looking towards the door with the sleeping knob. Y's jaw dropped. She recovered quickly and began to laugh. X glared at her. Yuki looked between the two confused.

"I told you so." Y said in between her laughs. X continued to glare at Y without saying anything. Yuki rubbed the back of her head watching Y nearly die of laughter.

"What am I missing?" Yuki asked looking mostly to X for an answer. He had crossed his arms refusing to look at his twin. He was just staring at a wall ignoring pretty much everything. He didn't answer Yuki's question forcing Y to sober up, still clutching her stomach.

"When X and me were kids, he used to tease me for believing in Wonderland. Our big thing was betting on who was right. And it looks like I won." Y explained after finally ceasing her laughter. X huffed still refusing to look at Y.

"You just got lucky, that's all." X insisted. Y rolled her eyes and patted her brothers back.

"You just keep telling yourself that little bro." She said. X didn't reply as he seemed to decide frowning was the best way to get his sister to shut up. It didn't seem to work as Y continued laughing as she picked up the bottle X had been trying to get them to drink out of. She looked at it quizzically still chuckling to herself.

"So what does this bottle do to us?" Y asked, still grinning. X glared at her.

"Why don't you find out for yourself." He said bitterly. Y shrugged and took off the cap. She took a drink out of it before setting it down on the table. Just as she did her body began to shrink until she was the size of a mouse. Possibly smaller. Yuki looked down at her shocked while X kept his cold glare. The mini Y looked up at them and jumped up and down. Yuki couldn't tell if she was trying to talk or not. She was too small for her voice to be heard by either of the others if she was trying to talk.

"Um, was she supposed to shrink?" Yuki asked. X nodded still watching his sister. "Are we supposed to drink it too?" Yuki asked sounding concerned.

"We should probably give her a minute to calm down first." X said. Yuki glanced down at the still jumping around Y. She nodded her head not questioning X. He probably knew more about Y's reactions than her.

After Y stopped jumping around X picked up the bottle and took a drink from it. He soon was the same size as Y. Yuki sighed as she picked up the bottle and took a drink from it. She felt herself shrink down. It felt really strange, like being compressed by something. When she was the same size as the other two she looked at X very seriously.

"This is the weirdest world I have ever been in." She stated simply. Y thought for a second then nodded in agreement. X just shrugged.

"If you thought that was weird wait until you see the rest of the world." He said turning and leading the way to a door in the wall that had been too small for them only minutes ago. Yuki looked after X apprehensively before looking to Y. Y shrugged and followed her brother. Yuki sighed in defeat and followed the other two, hoping to finish this mission as quickly as possible.

The next room was covered in grass. It looked like it was outside. The walls and ceiling were painted to make the room look bigger than it actually was. If Yuki didn't know any better she would have said it was open to the sky. What shocked Yuki even more though was the purple and pink cat sitting up on a hedge talking to X. Yuki stopped not to Y staring up at the cat confused.

"So where are they?" Yuki heard X ask. The cat chuckled at his question.

"Oh, here and there. Where you'd expect their kind to be, but at the same time not at all where you would think." The cat answered. Yuki looked at it confused. Y tipped her head to the side looking just as confused as Yuki. X seemed to think about it for a second before nodding.

"Alright, thanks for your help as always." He said putting his hands in his pockets. The cat laughed before it vanished ever so slowly, starting from its tail until all that was left was its wide grin.

"What the hell did that mean?" Y asked confused. X didn't answer her and just led them deeper into the world. Y and Yuki looked at each other confused before chasing after him.

"X, what did the weird cat mean?" Yuki asked when they caught up. X let out an exasperated sigh like she had asked a stupid question.

"It's really simple. He just means their in the lotus forest." X explained. Yuki looked at him in question. How the hell did he figure that out from such a vague clue? Yuki couldn't figure that out.

"You and that cat must be speaking some foreign language." Y said walking on X's other side. He shrugged like it was no big deal.

The lotus forest was another room that was filled with trees and rocks. It looked like a real forest, except for the ceiling that was painted to look like the leaves of a tree. Scattered all around were heartless that looked like mushrooms of various colors.

"We're supposed to get rid of all the black fungus. The other two colors are harmless and will actually help out those who help them. The black fungus, on the other hand, are aggressive, but they'll drop valuable items when killed." X explained as he drew his daggers. Yuki and Y both drew their keyblades already looking for the black colored Heartless.

They split up each taking a different part of the room. Yuki stuck close to the entrance while Y took the back and X took what he called up top. Yuki looked around at all the Heartless. Most were white, actually, as far as she could see they were all white mushrooms. She frowned as she tried to find any of the black fungus.

"It would be so much easier if the black fungus just walked right up to me." She complained under her breath. The white mushrooms rocked back and forth, staying where they stood. But surprisingly, Yuki saw a black fungus make its way through the large group of Heartless until it stood right in front of Yuki. She stared at it for a moment before raising Heartless Keeper and cutting down the Heartless. After that Heartless was gone two more appeared. Yuki got rid of them just as easily, barely having to fight. This repeated multiple times until the black fungus stopped appearing. Yuki frowned thinking. Why had it done that? She didn't get much time to think about it as X and Y rejoined her.

"I got all mine." Y said smiling proudly.

"As did I," X said glancing at Yuki.

"I'm done too," Yuki said, pushing the Heartless' strange behavior out of her mind. X nodded.

"Let's get out of here then." He said. Yuki and Y didn't argue with that decision.

*<3*

At the clock tower Yuki, X, and Y arrived to find all three Nobodies were already there. Yuki smiled seeing this. They were all talking about inconsequential things. Xion and Axel seemed to be getting along well despite this being their first true meeting. Xion glanced at the three Heartless as they arrived. She smiled at them as they sat down beside her. Yuki next to Xion. Y beside Yuki and X beside her.

"Well look who decided to drop in," Axel said with a broad grin. Yuki chuckled a little at his comment but didn't reply as she bit into her ice cream.

"We're here every day. Nothing new." X said annoyed.

"But there is something new today." Y said casually. Everyone looked at her curiously. "We're all here together." She said. X smirked and nodded. Axel let out a chuckle while the other three smiled.

"We'll have to make this the normal then," Axel said. All of the others looked at each other, their eyes meeting for a brief second before moving on to the next person. They all nodded in unison.

"For once flame heads right," X commented. Axel glared at him.

"What's that supposed to mean?"

*<3*

Day 74- Together,
Today X, Y, and I were assigned to this weird world. I think X said it was called Wonderland. There was a cat that was so cryptic only X could understand him. But he did help us out.
When we got to the clock tower Roxas, Axel, and Xion were already there. We all sat together and got to talk. This was the first time ever. I hope we can be together like that more often.
