Beyond All That

Chapter I

"Yes, yes… Well… As much as like to date you, I can't. My business… is… pilled up to the ceiling with papers. I have no time for petty things like dating or affection." Xigbar whipped his long, black and white pony tail at the blonde woman, and walked to the out of the bar.

Xigbar hated love and everything about it. Well, maybe hate was a strong word, but he wasn't all that fond of it, he enjoyed living by himself. He was known through out the business world as the bachelor everyman wanted to be. He got the best looking and the richest women to fall for him, and he always rung them for everything they had. Once they were dry of everything, he would dump them, and never speak to them again. Women still loved him. They flocked to him when the tabloids had his latest breakup on the cover.

He had one of the most successful businesses, and he knew it. He flaunted his money this way, and that. He gave large donations just so people can see just how wealthy he was. He liked to be the center of attention, even if he was the attention he got was negative.

Xigbar was walking to his expensive apartment in New York City. He was forced to get a home in the city. If it was up to him, he would live in the country, and ride horses, and maybe even start a dairy farm, or something of the sort. He hated the bright lights, the heavy traffic, and the constant noise. He just wanted peace and quiet. Xigbar smiled to himself at the thought.

As he got to the double doors, a man in at the door greeted him, and opened the door for him. Xigbar nodded the others way as a thank you, and went inside. He walked past the front desk to the elevators, and pushed the up button beside it. Soon, a loud cheery "ding" rang, and the doors slid open. He stepped inside, and pushed the button to floor 14. He thought that calling the thirteenth floor the fourteenth was a foolish thing to do. People would notice the fact that 14 does not come after 12. No one is that dead-brained.

As he got to his floor, the doors slid open again to reveal a blonde boy. The boy was drenched with a strange smelling liquid, and was completely naked. Xigbar was taken aback as the boy lunged toward him, and grabbed the front of his new tuxedo. The boy was sobbing and shaking violently. Xigbar didn't know what to do. When he looked down on him, he noticed the teenager had big, fuzzy cat ears. This meant one thing: Neko. "Get off me you disgusting thing! Get off me, I say!!" Xigbar shouted as he waved his hands about in "shoo fly" fashion.

"Demyx, Demyx… Demyx, where are you my pretty kitty?" A large woman with curlers wrapped in her hair, a long red silk robe, and a "beauty mask", which only seemed to make her look worse at the moment, spread all over her face, came bounding forward in Xigbar's direction. "Demyx!!!" she screamed, "There you are! I've been looking all over for you!"

Before he new it, the woman ripped the neko away from Xigbar, and proceeded to hit him hard on the head. She yelled things like "You horrible thing!", and "I wish I had a better neko!" a good number of times, until she looked up from her still sobbing pet, and grinned a flashy smile. "I'm so sorry for the trouble, Mr. Xigbar, sir. I had to put perfume on him and, when I did he… just up and ran." She chuckled, and turned to the neko. "The damn thing got me running in the halls like this… Really, sir, I do apologize."

Xigbar's face was blank. He couldn't believe what he just heard. "You… you put perfume on your neko?! That's… That's ludicrous! I…I have never seen something so… insane in my life!" Xigbar's blank face turned to an enraged one. He could feel his face turning a nice shade of red as he continued. "You don't put perfume on a neko! You bathe them! If you don't bathe them, they could get horribly sick, and their hair will get ruined!" Xigbar yelled.

"Well! Never in my days have I met such a rude and appalling person. I thought you were better than that, Mr. Xigbar! Plus, Demyx gets very violent when he has to do things he doesn't want. I don't want him to break my beautiful nose with his flailing feet, just because he's afraid of a little water!!" She retorted.

"That is no excuse!!! Hire a bellhop, or something to help you. Don't just dump an entire bottle of perfume, and say, 'Taa-daa, all better'!!!" Xigbar grabbed the neko's arm and forced him up off the floor. "If your not going to take care of him right, your not going to take care of him at all. Good day."

Before either of them knew it, Xigbar had stolen a neko, and was going to take care of him "better", and the neko did not protest.
As Xigbar walked off, he heard the woman yell, "Go ahead! He's a real bother anyway. He's also a bundle of money to take care of. Go, have your fun!"

Xigbar didn't even think to look back when the woman spoke. He was staring down his door at the end of the hallway. As he got to it, he reached inside his pocket, and pulled a ring with six different colored jingling keys hanging on it. He grabbed the red key, and unlocked the door before him. Once the door was opened, he grabbed the neko's hand, and led him inside, then turned to close, and lock the door, letting go of the other.

Demyx tipped his head to the side, and mewed. When the blonde made the sound, Xigbar visibly flinched. Demyx saw the man's reaction, and went up to the man, putting his slender hand on Xigbar's shoulder. The man then spun around to face the neko, and grabbed his arms. Xigbar looked the neko up and down. A boy wet, naked, and in an empty apartment wasn't something that usually happens to a single, strait bachelor. He felt dirty holding a naked boy/cat. He then pushed Demyx aside, and swiftly made his way to the phone. "Gotta call the ASPCA… yeah… I can't take care of a neko. I… I have no idea what I was thinking…" he mumbled as he picked up the phone and started to dial the number.

Demyx's ears perked at the words that the other said, and ran toward him. He latched to the other like he had before, but this time whining with a wild array of meows and mews. Xigbar looked to the neko before he finished the number, and grimaced. A minute ago he wanted to send the cat away as soon as possible, and now he wanted to take the poor thing and pet it until it was happy and content, no matter how long it took. Xigbar closed his one eye, and sighed a deep and exhausted sigh. He then hung up the phone, took the neko by the hand again, and led him to the bathroom. Demyx just was content with the fact the other hung up the phone, and followed with no fuss.

As Xigbar approached the bathroom, Demyx started struggle in the man's tight grip. He started to whine again, and even start to sob. Xigbar took a long time to get to the door, Demyx's protests slowing him down. He had quite enough for one day, and grabbed the blonde around his torso, and put the neko on his shoulder. Demyx started to scratch at his back his meow's turning to something close to human screaming. Demyx grabbed the door frame and clung onto it for dear life. Xigbar grunted, and tried to unhitch the neko's fingers from the frame. He slapped Demyx's hands hard, making him let go, and squeal with pain. Xigbar quickly got in the bathroom, shoved the neko in to the bath and turned on the water. Demyx screamed, and franticly, just as the women said, whipped his legs all around, just barely missing Xigbar's face.

Xigbar held the blonde's legs down, but Demyx just thrusted his hips up, and Xigbar got Demyx's manhood shoved right into his face. Xigbar screamed as he let go of his legs, and grabbed the neko's hips, and forced them down. The water in the tub was filling with was starting to rise to a perfect level. Xigbar kept the blonde's hips pinned down, and turned off the water. Demyx's cries, and mews, and small screams kept Xigbar alert, as he tried to get the soap at the other end of the tub.

Xigbar enjoyed baths much more than a shower, so he requested a room with a large tub. On that note, reaching for the soap was a tough obstacle to face. He had two choices. Let go of Demyx and having him bolt out of the tub, or just soak him for awhile, then clean him later when things were a bit more convenient.

Demyx looked as if he was getting more, and more frightened by the second. All the color in his face was drained, and he seemed like he was going to faint, or even throw up. Xigbar wondered if the little guy was going to hold up. "Hey, are you going to be alright? You don't look so good…" Xigbar questioned as he carefully let go of the neko's legs.

Demyx didn't seem to notice that Xigbar had moved, let alone spoke to him. Xigbar then carefully took one of his hands out of the water, and reached for the soap with more ease. Once he got it, he noticed that Demyx watched the whole time without Xigbar knowing. The blonde just sat there, knowing that he could jump right out with no problem. But, he just stared at him with his ocean blue eyes...
