Pieces to the Puzzle

Chapter 1: Plaguing Dream

Xigbar woke up already in a slightly foul mood. He left his room grumbling and mumbling to himself about something.

"What's wrong, Xigbar?" Demyx asked as Xigbar passed him in the hall. Xigbar looked at him, still groggy but awake.

"A dream got to me that's all." Xigbar yawned. Then he plopped down in a chair and slumped onto the table.

"About what?" Demyx asked with Xemnas walking past behind him. Xigbar waited until Xemnas was out of earshot and far out of sight before answering.

"About a young woman," he replied. "She seems so familiar and she has some kind of gentle hold over me." He said softly, still slouched on the table.

"What does she look like?" Demyx asked in interest. Then a portal opened and Axel stepped out into the room.

"Morning," He said but no reply. Then he muttered to himself and sat down.

"Well, she has beautiful, warm brown eyes, dark brown hair, fair skin, and a sweet smile." Xigbar said softly with a smile just as soft. Axel and Demyx looked at each other and then back at Xigbar.

"You look like you're in love," Demyx said with cunning smile. Axel busted out laughing to that statement.

"What are you talking about?!" Axel shouted and hit Demyx on the arm. Xigbar growled, got up, and left the room.

"Fuck! Dude, why can't I get that woman off of my mind?" Xigbar growled and punched the wall. "This has been going on for too long! Night after night for two and a half months! I can't take it anymore!" He shouted once he was safely in his room.

"Xigbar?" Xaldin called from outside of Xigbar's room. "Xigbar?! XIGBAR!!!" Xaldin shouted and then cut the door down. "What the hell's wrong with you? Why don't you answer when called?" Xaldin barked stormed over and then grabbed Xigbar by the coat.

"I am not a child! Now release me Number Three." Xigbar said with a dark aura burning around him.

"Really – what's wrong with you? You haven't been with it for a while. You haven't done anything fun, and we haven't pestered Xemnas." Xaldin said. He said it with what seemed like brotherly concern.

"I've had a lot on my mind," Xigbar said and then left him standing there. Xigbar walked through the darkness in thought.
