Chapter 1: Why Him?
Xelais ran frantically through the halls of The Castle That Never Was, stopping occationally at certain rooms. She turned down a hallway and nearly ran past Xemnas when he grabbed her arm, causing her to stumble and stop.
"Where's the fire?" he asked.
"Check Axel's room," Xelais responded. She tried to run again, but his grip was like steel.
"Okay, Ms. Smart-Ass, that's not what I ment. I ment, why the rush?"
"What? No rush...I just...wanted to run," this time she was able to break free of his hold and continue running. "Talk to you later,"
She ran for an hour, nonstop. She had to find it. She could've swore that she had put it on her bedside table the night before, but when she woke up, it was gone. Xelais turned another corner, ran into someone, and fell over.
"Well, hello Xelais!" a seductive male voice came. Xelais looked up.
"Oh God...You..." she said, not very happy to see him.
"Oh God! Me!" the man laughed. Xelais stood up.
"What do you want Marluxia?"
"Well, I've noticed that you've been running through these halls for about two hours. Did you lose something?"
"As a matter of fact I did, but I don't need your help looking for it," Xelais walked past him. Marluxia turned.
"Are you sure about that?" Xelais stopped as she heard the small clink of an unravled chain. She turned to see Marluxia holding her necklace. It was the Nobody symbol carved out of saphire. Her eyes widened.
"My necklace!" Xelais half yelled.
"Oh so this is yours," Marluxia smirked.
"Yes! Now please! Give it back!"
He ignored her plea. "If I remember correctly, this is the one that Xemnas gave you, is it not?"
"Yes! Now give it back!"
"On one condition," a perverted look came over his face.
"No!" Xelais shook her head violently. "No I won't!" Marluxia started swinging the necklace.
"Oh come on! It'll only be for a week," the look on his face grew creepier.
"No! I refuse to! Give it back!" Xelais leaped for the necklace. Marluxia moved it out of the way before she could grab it. Xelais was close to tears.
"Just hang around me and let me do what I want to for one week. When the week is up, you can have your necklace back. Deal?"
A tear rolled down Xelais' cheek. "Fine,"
