A Saix/Xemnas fanfic…^^...I just needed to write one and I had a bunch of ideas in my head for one. However, I could only choose one right? After quite a long time *cough like a few days cough*, I decided on the idea of 'what if Saix got sick and I dunno what will happen next and I dunno what Xemnas would do but write and hope it turns out well'...XD…

The flashback part was inspired by the drawing 'Punishment for Saix' by Torheit-die-Katze on deviantart...go take a look at her drawings and stuff…XD...they're brilliant...XD..so go…

Disclaimer: I do not own Kingdom Hearts nor the character.

Saix longed to get out of the cold rain but instead doesn't do anything except stand there. He refused to show any signs of weakness, not even a slight shiver. Sighing, he summons his claymore into his hand and steps forward. There was a mission to be done out here. Saix was not going back until he was done.

He stumbles, as the world spun. Collapsing onto his knees, he looks up at the sky above him. The harsh rain pelted his face, drenching him within the few seconds he was out there. Saix shakes his head, trying to clear the dizziness that made him feel nauseous.

Slowly, he stands up, grimacing at the pounding headache within his skull. His body shook with exhaustion even though he hadn't done much the entire day. Looking down at his shaking hands, he wonders what had happened. He wasn't normally like this. What was wrong with him?

Sighing in frustration, Saix sets off for his mission. He wasn't going to give up and fail his mission. Not today. Not ever. He remembers his first solo mission where he had failed miserably. The Superior had been upset with him. Running his finger along the x-shaped scar on his face, he recalls that moment…

(flashback)

Saix enters the silent room, closing the door gently behind him. The sound of footsteps echoes across the room as someone approaches him. Saix couldn't feel fear since he was a nobody. However, his knees wouldn't stop trembling as he gazes up at those cold amber orbs, fury burning within them.

"Number Seven, Saix. I am very disappointed in you. Not only have you failed your mission but put our goals on the line as well. You almost ruined everything..." Xemnas paces back and forth, his voice full of disgust.

"I...I'm sorry…" Saix manages to stammer out.

"Saying 'sorry' won't do anything." Xemnas scowls at the cowering Saix. "I should erase you. However, this was only your first solo mission." He narrows his amber eyes, gazing deep into Saix's yellow ones as if searching for something. "Can I trust you not to fail me again?"

Saix nods desperately, not wanting to disappear. He collapses onto his knees, gazing up at the Superior pleadingly. "Yes...please...I promise. I won't fail you ever again."

"I can't let you go without punishment…" Xemnas says coldly with no mercy in his voice.

Without warning, Xemnas strikes before Saix could speak. Saix screams as a stinging pain overwhelms his senses. He covers his face with his hands, trying to stop the blood flow and the pain. Nothing helped. Saix stares at the the blood covering his hands, shaking with pain. He chokes back another scream as he gazes up at Xemnas.

Xemnas stares at Saix, not affected by his pained face. "Don't fail me again." With that, he opens the door and shoves Saix out, leaving Saix there, bleeding heavily and in pain.

(flashback end)

Since then, Saix had never failed one mission and he had become second-in-command, forever loyal to Xemnas. He hasn't failed a mission in a long time and was not going to do so anytime soon. Struggling, he eventually finishes his mission and returns to the Grey Room, keeping his hood up so none will notice his exhaustion and messiness. However, everyone in the room notices as Saix enters and trips over a couch, his hood flying off in the process as he falls onto the floor with a crash.

"Saix, you alright?" Axel asks, watching the dripping wet figure curiously.

Saix nods weakly and mumbles a quick 'yes' before pulling his hood back up and scrambling off.

Demyx frowns as Saix exits the room. "He didn't seem alright to me…"

Axel nods in agreement. However, nobody in the room thought much about it for now and just went back to doing whatever they were doing.

Saix collapses on his bed, closing his eyes as he relaxes. How he wished to just fall asleep right now, but Xemnas had wanted to talk to him after his mission about important things. Groaning, he pushes himself up and eventually makes his way towards Xemnas's room.

Xemnas opens the door before Saix can knock and looks at Saix in surprise. It took a while for Saix to finally realize why the Superior was staring at him like that. His clothing were still dripping wet from the rain and his blue hair was a mess, sticking up in random directions.

"I'm sorry." Saix mumbles quickly, smoothing his hair down a bit. "I'll clean myself up first if you wish."

Xemnas merely sighs and motions for Saix to come in. "There's no need to. You can take care of that later."

Saix steps into the room and shuts the door behind him. Suddenly, another dizzy spell hit him. Gasping as the world tilted, he falls, clutching his head in pain. Not now. Why now out of all moments?!

Saix struggles to stay conscious but a sudden wave of exhaustion hits him and sends him into a world of darkness. The last thing he remembered was Xemnas turning around with a look of complete shock on his face.

"Saix?!"

A/N: Well...XD...what will happen to Saix? What will Xemnas do? Not even I know. The only thing I know is that I will just write and let the ideas come to me as I do so...like how I normally write...XD…
