Chapter One
AN: Okay, so I was so deeply moved by the fanfiction 'Nocturnes's Return' by Princess of Rose, I had an idea that reminded me of her story. I hope this is okay, but I've been wanting to revive poor Zexy for a while... So here ya go. Might write some Zemyx later... Zexion's point of view...

Where am I? What am I? Were the thoughts in my head as I wandered aimlessly around the pure darkness surrounding me. I had faded from existence, hadn't I? But why can I feel my hands and feet moving. Where am I going? Is there no end to this placid walk?
But the Replica had drained my life from me, why wasn't I totally gone? Must be because I didn't fade completely, and am now in a sort of spirit form. I've read about that before, although, the girl had the blood of a vampire to drink to become human again.
This forever darkness was growing on my nerves, never ending. I found my voice in me "When will I get out of here? It's tiring me quickly." I hadn't expected to be answered, but I was proven wrong.
"Zexion, is that you? I thought that you faded a while ago in Castle Oblivion. How are you managing to be here now?" I shook my head at the mysterious voice, knowing who it belonged to "I am not that sure myself, Nine. If you could help me get out of this place, maybe I will figure it out then."
He pulled his hood off and dirty blonde hair radiated like a light in the darkness "Sure Zexy, follow me." He led me out of a portal which I had not been able to create. As soon as we arrived, I was almost blinded by the light. "I don't remember it being so light here."
"Well, you were in Darkness for, um... a year and a bit. If that's right, yeah, it should be. After you guys faded, it took a year for that Roxas kid to go back to Sora, so right now we're um," he counted on his fingers, "seven people now. But with you back, there's eight now! This means that I don't have to do as much double duty as before."
He was leading me down a very familiar hallway. A too familiar one, at that. One that I had traveled many times when it was just the original six. I knew where we were heading; to Superior's office. It took a few minutes, but we had arrived at the large oak doors, standing out against the white walls.
I knocked on the door a few times then said it was me, Number Six. "Come in Six, if ..." Then he stopped speaking through the doors and the blasted open with such force that I was knocked back into Nine. He looked me over a few times "How is that possible? You were eliminated, all of you, except for Eight. You shouldn't be standing here right now. How is that possible?"
For some reason, I couldn't look him in the eye, like I used to "Well, that is why I came back here, Superior; to figure it out so that I may explain it to you. Nine found me in the Realm of Darkness, and I can't open a Dark Corridor. It was rather frustrating to not be able to do so."
He nodded "Yes, do more research - What is that?" He asked suddenly "Can you hear that Nine? Is that what I think it is?" What, is it a bad thing that you and Nine can hear but I cannot? "What is it, Superior? What do you and Nine hear that I have failed to?"
"If what Nine and I hear is correct, you have succeeded in where we have all failed. You somehow, by not fading completely, have obtained a heart. When you remember or find out through research, notify me immediately. But, for now, Lesser Nobodies and Heartless will be attracted to your strong heart, making you an easy target. Stay with Nine the entire time, so you are not disturbed. Nine, escort him to his original room. You too are to move in there, as to help protect him."
I nodded to Superior "Yes." Was what escaped my lips as I was led out by Nine, who looked delighted with the new arrangements. "That means I can talk to you a lot more Zexy! Won't it be a blast, like an extended sleep over? Here, I'll sleep on a water bed." He finished as I entered my old room. It had not been touched since I had supposedly faded. The continuous rows of books that were sorted by genre, then alphabetical were untouched, having a thick layer of dust on them.
"Nine, I am over exhausted from today's activities. I shall turn in now while I have the chance, before my return reaches the ears of that dreaded pyro."
He nodded "Alright, Zexy. Goodnight!" One last thing escaped from me "Don't... call me... Zexy..."

AN: Okay, so this is what I would imagine would happen if Sexy Zexy got his little heart back. And did you know that dust is actually dead skin? Yeah, weird. Anyway, just want to say one thing, or maybe two things: One, I wish Axel were real. He'd be awesome as a friend. And the second thing, I wish Damon (Vampire Diaries by L. J. Smith) were also real... He is totally hot and awesome.
