Author's Note: Don't hate me! -Dodges the incoming sodas, bricks, and marluxia plushies.- I'm so freaking sorry! My old computer died, and it had acid corroding it from the inside.

D: Im so damn sorry.

No time for review replies.

I love you all. So sorry, I start rite now! ;D

Chapter Three:

Unsure

The botanist underling lay on his back, staring up at his superior as his stomach churned anxiously. He was pretty sure this would be the end, but at least his last moments would be spent with the object of his thoughts. Xemnas' fists clenched, then relaxed as he contemplated what to do. On one hand, he had a man he loved at his feet, completely vulnerable to any attack. This same person had been spying on him, and if it weren't for him, this wouldn't be happening…

An unfamiliar rage burned in Xemnas as his palms heated up with the familiar anger that he felt when he fought. His adrenaline pumped as a red glow emitted from his hand. Marluxia, noticing this, sat up and scrambled back, crying out as he cowered in trepidation. Xemnas inhaled sharply as he realized that his twin red sabers, two quite lethal weapons, protruded from his hands. Poor Marluxia, he was scared to death, pale and shaking as his eyes glazed over in panic.

Xemnas motioned his hands, silently demanding Marluxia to rise as he gave the flower underling a death gaze. Marluxia scrambled to his feet and choked back a fearful cry, quivering slightly as he maintained his balance. The superior stepped over to the other nobody and raised his hand, it still glowing a dull red. Marluxia closed his eyes and summoned his scythe, positioning his weapon above him and swinging in self-defense.

The steel rod's blade make a swishing sound as it sliced through air, Xemnas slipping gallantly and silently behind the Silent Assassin. He pressed his hand against Marluxia's neck, ignoring the boy's cry of anguish as he forced the botanist against the wall, his eyes burning with raw rage. He loosened his grip a bit to let his underling breathe, then put his lips against the underling's ear, sighing hot air onto the sensitive skin.

"I'm going to make you pay."

The superior was driven by fury, as Marluxia cries and whimpers fell on deaf ears. He let his hand heat up again from the summoning of his weapon, scorching the flower underling's neck and invoking another scream. Oh yes, Xemnas was going to enjoy the boy very, very much. A few drops of blood rested on Xemnas' fingers as he dropped the botanist for a moment, his tongue snaking out and around the soiled digits.

The blood drained from Marluxia's face as he watched his superior indulge in a somewhat sadistic ritual. Almost sickened, he tried desperately to look for an exit, feeling trapped between freedom, and death. He winced as he looked past Xemnas' bare leg, resisting the urge to cry as he tried to spot a fleeting chance of hope.

There…

Axel stumbled out of Demyx's room far off, a sleepy, exhausted, and mussed up blonde on his shoulder. Marluxia silently willed them to turn and look at him, his eyes shutting as he blocked back a few more searing tears. He felt something dig into his side and cried out, despite the thickness of his hooded cloak. Xemnas lifted him into a standing position, crushing Marluxia against the wall with his body weight. He let his hands trail down the botanist's side, despite his mumbled protests, and hooked his fingers in Marluxia's pants, bringing them down slowly and surely.

Xemnas eyed his struggling partner with pure lust chuckling to himself as he realized that the botanist, indeed, went commando. No problem for him; in fact, it was just easier. Xemnas' member throbbed painfully as he threw Marluxia's pants to the floor, then his boots as he positioned himself at the underling's entrance. With a dull 'whap', a slightly sleepy voice called out,

"Ouch! Fucccccck!"

Xemnas whirled around, seeing his pyro and his melodic underlings behind him, the latter holding his face in mild pain, a boot hanging from his arm. Axel stared at the two and Marluxia began to let the tears fall openly, trying to call out. The only thing that escaped his lips was a failed 'Xemnas' before the mentioned male dropped him painfully. Marluxia immediately curled into a ball, watching between his fingers as wispy black fingers of darkness appeared, and disappeared, taking Xemnas with them.

Axel and Demyx rushed over to the half-naked Nobody, watching as he cried out in fear at their touch. He moved his hands and, through blurry tear-stained eyes, watched as Axel picked him up delicately and rocked him in his arms, cooing softly. Demyx had begun to check his body for visible injury, wincing at the botanist's burned and blistered neck. Marluxia continued to weep into Axel's chest, holding him tightly.

The only thing the two lovers could do to was sit there and frown.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

The superior paced around nervously, risking an occasional glance to his two underlings that sat patiently at the foot of a bed, eyeing him wearily. A cerulean haired Saïx sat next to the cloaked schemer, Zexion, both of them equally disgusted and equally confused at their Superior. Xemnas sighed and hung his head, staring at his feet. It had been three days since the incident, and he still couldn't figure out what had made him snap. It was like he had been a whole new person…

The normally silent boy, Zexion, spoke up, looking at Xemnas from underneath his hair, "Wait, so…what exactly is going on?" Tears welled up in the normally stoic Xemnas' eyes as he tried to explain the situation to his youngest underling. Saïx put a tentative hand on Zexion's shoulder, shaking his head with a look that said 'I'll tell you later'.

Zexion nodded his head and buried his face into Saïx's chest, sighing lightly. Xemnas turned around to face the exit to the outside from Saïx's room and headed out the glass door into a small area of foliage. He hadn't been outside since his run in with Marluxia, save for when he sat in the pelting rain to clear his thoughts.

That's what he needed now, to clear his thoughts.

Xemnas meandered into the forest, tossing his head back to bathe in the occasional droplets of sunshine and dew that still hung from the trees. He just needed to get away. No matter if he lost his direction, it would just give him more time. Xemnas followed a small gravel path, going along the winding road until he caught sight of a flourishing flower. Kneeling down, the superior gripped the tiny plant in his hand, then snapped the stem and picked it up.

The flower was white with seemingly endless, long white stems that branched out from it's pink center. It gave off a pleasant smell that reminded the nobody of a certain botanist. Xemnas closed his eyes and stood, inhaling the flower's scent and looking down at where it had been. There was a hole in the foliage he had never noticed before. Curiously, Xemnas held the flower in one hand and followed the fresh trodden path, walking shortly before breaking through to a clearing.

Sitting on a stone bench was a pinked haired boy, his hair gathered into a high ponytail, no doubt by the savage nymph girl, Larxene. By him sat two other boys, a blonde and a spiky redhead. They were talking, and the pink haired boy seemed to quiver at the slightest sound. Xemnas was facing their backs, and he took the opportunity to take in the scenery. It appeared to be a small flower garden, no doubt where Marluxia made his home most of the time.

Xemnas stepped out of the brush, a slight rustling noise following his motions. Axel turned around sharply to glare at him, Marluxia's and Demyx's gazes following soon thereafter. Axel stood, summoning a flaming chakram and twirling it in warning as Marluxia buried his face into Demyx's robe and began to dry heave. Xemnas held the flower in his hand and stared longingly at the botanist.

His pyro underling approached him, his teeth bared, "What the fuck are you doing here?"

"As your superior," Xemnas countered cooly, "I find it a right to--"

"You have no fucking right to torture Marluxia like this!" Demyx interjected, surprising even himself. He held Marluxia to him and cooed into his ear, matting his hair down softly. Xemnas stared at both of them, soaking it in. He started toward the sobbing Marluxia, despite Axel's fiery advances, and placed the flower he had obtained in the botanist's hand, watching as the boy cowered in fear. It was enough as he watched his underling clutch the flower dearly. Turning, Xemnas summoned a dark portal and disappeared through it into Zexion's room.

He found Saïx and Zexion in a rather heated moment, a chorus of grunts and moans coming from the couple as they explored each other intimately. Xemnas, not even wanting to see more, used the dark portal to transport into the hallway near his room. The familiar smell of damp carpet greeted him as he opened the door to his living quarters, staring at the blood on the wall that had belonged to the Silent Assassin. He shook his head and headed into his room.

He familiarly felt his way to a door, and twisted the knob, heading into a bathroom fit for a king. He remembered when his musical underling had found him stark naked, bringing along an embarrassed Larxene. Chuckling slightly, he headed to his shower and turned the knob all the way, putting the heat at an almost insane temperature, but not hot enough to bother his pyro underling. Xemnas closed his eyes and slipped out of his cloak, letting it pool at his feet before removing all other attire. As he set the pile in the corner, Xemnas looked at his reflection. He closed his eyes again and walked into the comfort of the scathing hot water, and accepted the burn on his skin as punishment for hurting the botanist.

As his silver hair matted against his skull, he tossed back his head and watched the steam rise. Yes, he was going to try and wash away his sins…
