Author's Quick Note: Sorry for the wait. Actually, I'm not sure if a week is a long wait or not...Probably not. Anyway, I made a mistake with the links at the end of chapter two. Heh.

Chapter 3: Story Time
Xigbar and Xaldin sat on the couch waiting for Marluxia and Axel to come downstairs for the reading of Xemnas's diary.
Axel came down the hallway humming "Marissa Stole the Precious Thing." Roxas followed shortly behind him.
"I have this song stuck in my head," he said to Roxas. "I don't remember ever hearing it before, and, yet, here I am humming it."
"Uh…"
"Glad to see you're all better, Axel," Xigbar said, grinning.
Axel glared at Number II. "I know it was you who got me drunk."
"You got that right."
Unlike Xigbar, Xaldin noticed Roxas standing behind Axel. "What's the shrimp doing here, Axel?"
"You know very well that Zexion isn't here," Axel retorted. Xigbar laughed to this. "I'm just kidding. You can trust Roxas, right?" He ruffled Roxas's blonde hair.
"Hey don't do that…"
"Fine," said Xaldin just as Marluxia walked into the room looking either like a ghost or like he had just seen one.
"Dude, you look like death," commented Xigbar.
Marluxia spoke, his voice wavering intensely. "She…she blinded me with…with—"
"Science?" asked Axel.
"Herpes?" asked Xigbar.
"Her ugly face?" asked Xaldin.
"…A blinding light?" asked Roxas.
They all turned to Roxas. "…That was the first thing that came to mind."
"As were the rest of our fill-ins," said Xigbar.
"No," Marluxia said. "It wasn't that—well, she does have an ugly face." Xaldin nodded approvingly. "But, she definitely is not a man. I've been scarred for life."
He slumped over to the sofa and practically died on it.
"Anyway, now that we are all present and accounted for, I will begin reading Xemnas's diary aloud for you to hear." Xaldin cleared his throat and began:
"Entry 1
"Today is my birthday, and my sweet, sweet Saïx got me this lovely diary. All my life as a Nobody, I've wanted a diary, and finally, because of Saïx, I was able to get one. So, this entry will be dedicated to him.
"That reminds me. When Saïx gave me this, I almost told him of my feelings for him. I just barely caught myself from saying it, but I still couldn't control my body. Diary, I actually hugged Saïx! He seemed extremely shocked afterward, but I guess I would be that way, too. I just hope he feels the same way about me. His face was all red when he left. Maybe that's a hint or something. I really don't know.
"Also, I think I'll let a different member get groceries for tomorrow. I suppose Vexen could get the job done sufficiently enough. I mean, how hard is it to get groceries? Although… I did happen to come across a Kingdom Hearts parody comic on the internet the other day. The author of the comic made me buy…tampons for Larxene. Honestly, I don't even think she uses those kinds of things. There's all these rumors going around the Castle, and everyone says that she's a man. I find it funny, but I don't tell anyone that. Also, the others don't know that I go through the internet history after everyone's done. The things these guys watch…a lot of it is just porn and parodies of something. Luxord most certainly enjoys Lord of the Rings.
"Going back to the rumors… There're a lot of rumors about me and various other Organization members that really don't make all that much sense to me—on the internet, I mean. There are a lot on Fan Fiction, as well. I like to go there and read all the ones about Saïx and me. Let's see. Axel and I is kind of popular as well as Zexion and I. Our Somebodies were both apprentices under Ansem the Wise, but come on! Everyone should know that I love Saïx. That's common knowledge."
"Does is it really say that!?" Roxas exclaimed.
"Yes," Xaldin said, coolly.
"Me and…the Superior?" Axel asked, horrified.
"Apparently that's what the fangirls like," replied Marluxia.
"Ha-ha, he totally dissed Larxene," Xigbar said, once again laughing.
"Yeah, I guess you're right about that," said Axel.
"Keep reading, Xaldy!" Marluxia winked at Xaldin.
"Don't ever do that again, either!" spat Xaldin. Then, he picked up his place in Xemnas's diary.
"I am very disappointed in Axel. I was totally expecting the snakes to come out of Xigbar's gift again, not Axel's. It was so embarrassing, too—right in front of Saïx! Saïx even teased me for it just now. He rarely ever teases me or anything of the sort. Ugh, this is enough ranting for me. It's getting quite late, and I think I'll stop writing for now…"
"The first entry ends there," said Xaldin, closing the diary.
"Wow…At least now we know what he thinks about things," Marluxia remarked. "But, now I want to hear more."
"Too bad," Xaldin said. "That's all he's written so far." He handed the diary to Xigbar and asked him, "Same time tomorrow?"
Marluxia butt in, "I'll have to do some more research and find out the Superior's plans for tomorrow." Following this statement were awkward glances exchanged between everyone except Xigbar and Marluxia.
That was interesting...Anyway, I hope you liked this installment.
By the way, I'm not trying to pair Xigbar with Xaldin or Marluxia or anything like that. Just in case you were wondering.
And FYI, "she blinded me with science" is an old song. I don't remember who it's by, but yeah.
