I felt like writing something that (may be) funny, about a stupid reason for why Vexen hadn't wanted Marluxia to report to Xemnas about the Riku replica failure. I'm also writing this because I'm a bit stuck on a few of my other stories. I'm thinking that this will be a three to four chapter story. It'll mostly focus on Vexen.
Disclaimer: I don't own anything from Kingdom Hearts (2), just the stupid idea of what Xemnas could do if he had found out about the replica.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Vexen watched the Riku replica run away from Sora. No! He wasn't supposed to run away! What should he do now?
Five minutes later...
Vexen had confronted Sora, then had portaled away, entering a room where Marluxia and the others were. Seeing the look upon Marluxia's face, Vexen knew that he was going to say something deaming and rude. How Marluxia had gotten to be in charge in the first place was beyond him.
"Vexen...your replica is a failure. This should be reported to the Superior." Marluxia said smugly.
'What?!' Vexen looked at Marluxia in horror. "You wouldn't..."
"But I would...unless..." Marluxia trailed off with a smirk.
"Unless?" Vexen asked. He didn't like that look on the others' face.
"Unless...you go and eliminate Sora." Marluxia finished.
Vexen weighed his options. In the end, being reported to the Superior sounded better than being destroyed by the keyblade master. "No." Vexen said at length.
"What?" Marluxia asked, surprised.
"I won't." Vexen repeated, a little more loudly. He enjoyed the look of disbelief on Marluxia's face, but knew that Xemnas would soon find out about the runaway replica.
Marluxia smiled evilly. "Then I guess I have no choice but to report to the Superior..." He portaled away in a gust of rose petals, accompanied by crazed laughter.
Vexen wondered if he had had anything to drink. You couldn't really tell with the younger nobodies. They seemed to enjoy breaking the rules (or stretching them to the point of being broken). But now Vexen began to wonder what kind of punishment he would recieve. Xemnas probably wouldn't turn him into the dusk, since he usually did things right. Would the Superior send him out on a lot of missions? Or would he just order him to get the replica back? Vexen liked the idea of the last option
"Vexen." Came Xemnas' calm voice.
Vexen was jolted out of his thoughts when he noticed Xemnas' presence, standing several feet away. Ignoring Marluxia's more and more smug expression, he addressed Xemnas politly. "What is it Superior?"
"Marluxia's told me that your replica is a failure, and that you chose not to follow orders afterwards." Xemnas stated.
"It's not a failure! And why should I have to listen to him? He hasn't even been with the organization as long as I have!" Vexen snapped back in anger and annoyance.
"I put Marluxia in charge, which means that you should follow any orders he gives you." Xemans continued, as if he hadn't heard Vexen's angry outburst.
"..." Vexen didn't know what to say.
"Do you still refuse to carry out the order he claims to have given you?" Xemnas asked.
Vexen sighed. This statement needed a reply. Marluxia obviously hadn't told Xemnas the order. Vexen didn't blame him. If Marluxia had told Xemnas about the order to go and kill Sora, Xemnas would most likely be punishing him instead. "I do still refuse." There. He had said it, and now all he had to do was wait for his punishment.
Xemnas stared thoughtfully at Vexen for awhile, making Vexen wonder how severe of a punishment he would recieve.
"Vexen...you will be taken back to the castle, where you will babysit..." Xemnas began, then stopped as Vexen broke down completely.
"No! Anything but that! I'll do anything!" Vexen latched onto Xemnas' cloak, pleading for some other than that.
Marluxia was currently trying hard not to laugh, since the sight was highly amusing.
"I'm not changing my mind number four." With that, he led a still protesting Vexen through a portal, to where he's be 'babysitting.'

Inside a room in the castle of the World that Never Was...
Xemnas was trying to leave the room, but Vexen kept stopping him. Xemnas was attempting to try and leave the Chilly Academic in a room full of unruly dusks.
"No Superior! Don't leave me alone with them!" Vexen pleaded. One of the dusks bounced over his head, causing him to lose his grip on Xemnas' cloak.
"Would you care to join them? I could find someone else to watch them." Xemnas asked Vexen cooly.
Vexen immediatly shut up and lowered his head in aknowledgement. Once Xemnas had left the room, the dusks began to jump around and play. Vexen retreated to the corner of the room, groaning. How long did he have to watch all these badly behaved dusks? Why didn't Xemnas just get rid of them?
All of the dusks in the room stopped moving, and a few approached Vexen.
Vexen gave them a bored look. "What do you want? If it's not important, then leave me alone."
The dusks seemed to be upset at this, before one asked Vexen why he was upset.
"Xemnas is making me watch you as a punishment." Vexen replied. He was talking to them now, and they probably wouldn't leave him alone now. He hadn't actually expected an answer.
All the dusks appeared to be amused at Vexen's words, and one of the dusks began to draw something on the dusty floor.
Vexen watched its movements. Once the dusk had finished drawing, it pointed to itself, then two others, then tapped the scribbles on the ground.
Vexen looked at the scribbles, then to the three dusks watching him. Vexen let out a slight laugh after deciphering the scribbles. "I've always wondered where you three had gotten to. I guess that must have been why Xemnas called it Organization XIII." The three dusks standing before Vexen were failed organization members. They had mysteriously disappeared one night, and no one heard from them again.
"So, Xemnas didn't find any of you worthy, so he changed you into dusks." Vexen stated, rather than asked.
The three dusks appeared very unhappy.
"Who are the other dusks?" Vexen asked, indicating the five others in the room.
The three dusks shrugged and didn't answer. Apparently, they didn't know if the other dusks had used to be anyone.
Vexen leaned back in the chair he was seated on. "Why hasn't anyone else figured out who you were?" Other organization members had watched these dusks before. Axel had come seriously close to incinerating them before Xemnas and Saix had intervened.
The dusks responded by telling Vexen that no one had spoken to them directly before.
Vexen sighed, then began to try and think of a way out of the room.
The dusks suggested that he take them out of the room with him, if Xemnas had told him to watch them. He'd still be able to keep an eye on them.
Vexen considered his options, then decided to agree with the dusks. "Very well, but don't go wandering off..." This probably wasn't such a good idea, but it beat sitting in a room for who knows how long with overly active dusks. Vexen headed for the door, followed by eight very excited dusks.

Yep, very random and wierd. Please review and let me know if it was good or not. Any comments would be great (Kind of a stupid title, but oh well). This story will only be a few chapters long. It was just some idea I had come up with at three in the morning (before falling back asleep). I rated it T because there'll probably be some dusk bashing in the next chapter or something like that.
