`~`~`Sora's POV`~`~`

He sat on the floor in front of Saix, who was taking a deep breath. "So you're an experiment like me and my family?" he asked the man.

Saix nodded. "Yes, I was in the same lab as Xion and the Jenova triplets, but I was moved away to another lab. They were studying Berserker demons, and they captured me. I honestly don't remember how many of my kind died during the experiments. Out of a thousand, I was the only survivor."

"Are there still more of your kind?" Roxas asked, sitting down next to Sora.

The Berserker demon shrugged. "I'm sure there are, but I don't belong with them anymore."

Sora saw Roxas reach out to Saix, placing his hand over the demon's hand. Roxas blinked. "Who's Xemnas?"

"Xemnas is my lover. When the professors found out that Berserker males could get pregnant also, they set me and Xemnas up. They wanted me to get pregnant by him. At first, Xemnas was cruel and cold to me, in spar matches he was ruthless. I knew they wanted me to get pregnant, but he didn't know. He always wondered why I wouldn't put a fight, I would just stand there and let him strike me. I was hoping for him to beat me enough so I wouldn't have children."

Sora was shocked, and confused. "Why? Why wouldn't you want children?"

Saix looked sadly at him. "Would you want a child in that hellhole?"

He shook his head, understanding what Saix meant. "No, I wouldn't. Death is better than living in that place any day."

"Exactly, but even with all the fights and the cold way he treated me, I fell in love with him. Xemnas may look like he doesn't care, but he really does. But then I found out that they were gonna force Xigbar, Xaldin, or Lexaeus on me, so I let Xemnas hit me and injure me, praying I couldn't bear children."

Everyone sat down somewhere to listen on to the story.

`~`~`Saix's POV`~`~`

He continued on with the story. "Xemnas realized eventually I wasn't gonna fight, then he just didn't do anything. The professors tried to force him on me, but I told them I wasn't gonna be able to bear children."

"What happened then?" Xion asked.

"Xemnas looked shocked, everyone else was angry. Berserkers give off a scent, almost like an animal…in heat," he said.

Kadaj looked at him curiously. "You were in heat?"

He nodded. "Yeah, so everyone around me was in lust, but I refused every single one of them. I didn't want a child there. At first, Xemnas refused to touch me, but both of us eventually gave into temptation."

He remembered that day, almost like it happened yesterday.

`~`Saix eight years ago`~`

He was lying on his bed, still shaking from the beating he'd received from Lexaeus. He had ordered this after finding out Saix's reason for not sparring against Xemnas. His body was sore, bruises covered him, and he knew eventually they would try to force Xemnas on him again.

But now, they threatened to have him pregnant either by free will or rape. He could see the lust in Lexaeus' eyes when he had told him that he better start having sex with Xemnas soon, or Lexaeus, Xigbar, or Xaldin would have him.

He felt the bed sink from another person's weight on it. His hand grabbed onto his weapon, getting ready to fight. He came face to face with Xemnas.

Xemnas smirked at him. "Won't fight me to make those bastards happy or to defend yourself, but you'll fight to keep someone from just wanting to see if you're okay?"

He glared at the man. "What do you care?" he asked, still with his weapon in hand.

"I just came to see if you're still breathing, Lexaeus seemed to have a gotten a little excited hurting you a little too much," Xemnas said.

Saix put his weapon down, lying back down on the bed, facing away from Xemnas. "Just go away. I'm fine."

Xemnas stretched out next to him, watching him. "At least I know why you didn't put up a fight now. I thought you were just weak."

Saix closed his eyes, pretending for one moment that Xemnas gave a crap about him. "What do you want? Cause if you're here to insult me, you're doing a piss poor job at it."

Xemnas laughed. "If I wanted to insult you, I would've said a lot more by now."

Saix ignored him, enjoying his last night of peace. After this, Lexaeus, Xigbar, and Xaldin would have fun with him, raping him one after the other; hoping to get him pregnant. He shivered at the thought, wishing in some way he'd die before the morning came. If his life could any worse, he wondered what could make it worse. Tears fell down his face, he didn't want to live anymore.

He wondered what Xion and the Jenova triplets were going through right now. The five of them had been good friends to him during his time at the other lab, but then he was transferred.

He tried to hold back his tears, but it was useless.

"Saix?" Xemnas said, concerned. "What's wrong?"

"I just feel…like I don't have any reason to live anymore," he whispered. He felt arms wrap around him.

"What do you mean?" Xemnas asked him.

He shrugged. "I just wanna die! I don't want to live and have those three men rape me! I don't want to have a child here!" He bit his lower lip to keep from shouting; he knew there were cameras watching them.

Xemnas remained silent for a while; Saix closed his eyes again, willing himself to die. He didn't want to think of those men touching him, or raping him! Xemnas tightened his arms around him. "There is a way to stop them…," he whispered.

Saix turned to face him. "What do you mean?" he asked.

Xemnas frowned, looking at him as though he was scared to speak. "I could…claim you…"

He felt himself go pale. Xemnas claiming him? Did he look that desperate? Saix growled and pushed him off the bed. "No, I refuse all of you!" He felt his demonic side take over, he knew his eyes turned completely yellow and he began attacking Xemnas mindlessly.

The silver-haired man dodged all of his attacks, only making him angrier. He attacked and attacked, but Xemnas managed to dodge all of his attacks. Xemnas suddenly disappeared. Saix relaxed, looking around to find the man.

Something hit in his pressure points, paralyzing him. He fell to the floor, but someone caught him before he could make contact. Xemnas carried him back to bed. "I know it's not what you want, but it's the only way," he said calmly.

Saix tried to move his body, but he was completely numb. He looked up at Xemnas, who was staring at him calmly. "I don't want you to have sex with just because you feel sorry for me!" he shouted.

Xemnas smiled at him. "Who says I'm doing this because I feel sorry for you?" He straddled Saix on the bed, slowly pulling his shirt off.

Saix's eyes widened. "What are you doing?" His shirt was thrown somewhere, Xemnas proceeded to pull his pants off. "Xemnas!"

"I'm not letting you get raped by those barbarians. I know you don't want this, just find a way to forgive me," he said, stripping Saix naked.

Saix felt his cheeks turn hot. "Why are you doing this?"

Xemnas kissed the corner of his lips. "I really care for you Saix. More than you'll ever know," he whispered, skimming his lips over Saix's.

Saix watched as Xemnas took his own clothes off, his cheeks burning now. He felt Xemnas push a finger into him, making him moan. "Xemnas…"

Xemnas looked at him. "Are you okay?" He stuck another finger in him, making scissoring movements.

He gasped, tears flowing down his face. Xemnas kissed his tears away. "I've never done this before," he admitted, thrusting his hips against Xemnas' fingers.

Xemnas smiled. "I'll be gentle, I promise not to hurt you." He stuck the final finger in him, stretching him out. His hips moved in time with his fingers.

Saix nodded, knowing Xemnas wouldn't hurt him. "I'm trusting you," he whispered. He felt Xemnas pull his fingers out, making him cry out. Before he could react, Xemnas thrust inside him. He felt more tears fall from his eyes, but he wasn't feeling pain.

He felt safe, for the first time in a long time, he felt safe. Xemnas was thrusting gently into him, but Saix wanted more. "Harder," he whispered, but he knew Xemnas heard him.

Xemnas grinned. "I'll be happy to obliged." He thrust harder into him, going harder and faster which each one.

Saix howled out loud, uncaring that the cameras in their room was recording everything they were doing. He felt happy that the man he'd fallen in love with cared enough about him. Xemnas stroked him, making him harder. He cried out as he came all over them, feeling his muscles tighten around Xemnas' body.

Xemnas let out a growl, spilling his seed inside him, lying down on top of him. Both of them laid there for a while, trying to catch their breaths. Xemnas looked up at him, smiling. "You're the only person I could ever have feelings for," he told him, leaning to kiss him.

"Thank you," he said, feeling Xemnas' arms wrap around him.

Xemnas kissed his forehead. "I won't let them touch you. Never."

`~`~`Saix's POV`~`~`

Everyone looked at him, still shocked. "So, after eight years, you finally got pregnant?" Riku asked him.

He nodded. "Yes, I wasn't expecting this." He rubbed his hand over his stomach, feeling the two lives inside him kicking around. "I thought I couldn't hold children after letting Xemnas beat me, but I was wrong. I'm expecting twins, boy and girl. I know I'm due in a couple weeks, but I don't know anyone who can help me."

Cloud spoke. "You can stay here, we'll find some way to help you through this. I don't know how, but we'll find a way."

Xion and the Jenova triplets looked at him confused. "What's wrong?" he asked them.

Xion bit at her lower lip. "Who held you captive after you moved from the lab we were in?" she asked.

Everyone looked at him again, making him a bit uncomfortable. "Master Xehanort."

The four of them looked at him wide-eyed. "No…," Yazoo whispered.

Saix looked at them seriously. "I also have to warn you three." He indicated the Jenova triplets. "Xehanort plans on reviving Sephiroth, using you three. Xemnas heard talking about it after the lab you four were in fell collapsed. He needs you three, mainly Kadaj, in order to revive him."

Kadaj grabbed onto Xion's hand, holding it tightly. "Why me?"

"You're more like a larvae form of Sephiroth, he at least needs you. He already has Jenova's head, all he needs is you and Sephiroth will be back. Yazoo and Loz aren't really needed, but another way"

All three of them paled when he said that. "Who are you talking about?" Leon asked.

Saix looked at the man. "Master Xehanort is Ansem's sick father, Hojo is his loyal servant." He wanted to tell them about Xemnas, but refrained from saying anything. The Jenova triplets shivered at the mention of Hojo. But Roxas noticed that he was hiding something.

"What are you hiding?" Roxas asked him.

"Xemnas is Ansem's twin brother…," he whispered, looking down at the floor.

Xion looked stunned. "But that means…!"

He nodded. "Yes, he's also Master Xehanort's son."

"But why? Why would he do this to his own son?" Sora asked. "It doesn't make any sense! How could he do such a thing to his own son?"

Saix rubbed his hand over his stomach. "He's a sick old man, Xemnas never told me why. I didn't ask him because I knew the subject makes him uncomfortable. But he knows Xehanort won't kill him and he knows I'll go back to free Xemnas."

Xion stood up. "No! We're gonna free him, you're gonna stay here and protect your children!" she told him.

Saix didn't say anything, he stood up. "I want some fresh air. Do you mind if I walk by myself?"

Leon nodded. "Sure, just be careful."

He walked out the house, needing the fresh air. His thoughts drifted to Xemnas as he walked to the beach that was nearby. He wanted Xemnas out so badly, but he knew he couldn't do anything in his condition right now. His heart broke at the thought. Tears fell from his face, he missed Xemnas so much.

Saix?

He turned around, seeing nothing. Who called him? It sounded like…

Laughter erupted from the voice. You know it's me Saix. You know I won't let anything happen to you or our children.

Xemnas, are you okay? He could feel the pain Xemnas was in.

Xemnas laughed. I've had worse than this, I'll be fine. Is your wound healed?

Yes, I found Xion and the Jenova triplets. Xion is reunited with her biological family, they know about Master Xehanort and Hojo's plan. He told him.

Good, they're keeping an even closer eye on me now. They're furious I let you escape. Xemnas said.

He knew it was taking a lot of energy for Xemnas to talk to him. Save your strength, you'll need it. I'm fine here.

I'll be with you soon, I promise. Xemnas told him.

I know you will, I love you. Saix knew Xemnas wouldn't say it back, in all the years they'd been together, Xemnas had not once said it to him. But he didn't care, Xemnas was with him and that's all that mattered to him.

I'll be there with you soon…Xemnas broke the connection, Saix felt his heart become heavier. But at least he was okay…for now.

`~`~`Sora's POV`~`~`

"So, what are we gonna do with a pregnant Berserker demon?" he asked Xion.

Xion shrugged. "How am I supposed to know? I've never been pregnant. But with demon type he is, his hormones are running wild. More than the average pregnant demon. That much I know!"

"What's a Berserker demon exactly?" Roxas asked.

"A demon that once angry, I hope you have your headstone picked out," Yazoo answered. "Once unleashed, it takes a lot to stop them."

Sora remembered seeing Saix's eyes go completely gold when he almost attacked Xion. "So he starts attacking mindlessly?"

Yazoo nodded. "Yes, I remember seeing him fight, he's pretty fierce."

Kadaj nodded in agreement. "It takes a while for him to calm down. It's not a pretty sight, if you're the one watching or the one getting ripped to pieces."

Everyone just stood there in the living room, Sora thought of what they could do to help Saix. But none of them knew anyone who could help a pregnant man and not freak out. He remembered someone who could help them. "Aqua," he said.

Riku looked at him. "Aqua?" he asked.

He nodded. "Yeah, Aqua Heart. Remember Roxas?" he asked his brother.

"Yeah! I remember her!" Roxas said. "She's an immortal witch! Maybe she can help our newfound pregnant friend and not freak out!"

Everyone looked at them confused. "Who are you talking about Sora?" Cloud asked.

"Aqua was the woman who found us after the lab collapsed. If it wasn't for her and Terra, me and Roxas would be dead right now," Sora told him, he felt Riku wrap his arms around him tightly. Emotions were strong in him right now, Sora knew Riku didn't like for him to even mention that he'd almost died.

Roxas nodded in agreement, Axel forced him to sit on his lap. "Yeah, I'm sure she can help him! If she can't, then no one can and we're on our own!" he told them.

Sora nodded. "Anyone up for a field trip?" he asked.

Riku looked at him. "Why?"

"We have to go to Twilight Town, that's where Aqua lives," Sora answered. "The only way to get there is by train, they don't use cars there. You either walk or take the light rails. It's about a six hour trip, but they take stops for people to stretch and move around more."

"What the-? Six hours?" Xion shouted.

He nodded. "Yeah, six hours in a train. It's not that bad, they give you rooms. So you can lie down and fall asleep, which I'm sure Saix might need. And at the stops, we can buy snacks and drinks for on the way."

Xion shrugged. "I guess, I've never been anywhere else. This'll be fun!" She looked at the Jenova triplets. "You guys are coming right? Don't let me go by myself!"

"You're not going by yourself, Sora and whoever else goes will be there with you," Loz pointed out.

Xion stuck her tongue out at him. "So! That's not the point! Please go with me?" she asked them, putting her best sad puppy face on.

Kadaj kissed her forehead. "Of course we'll go Xion. I'm interested in seeing another town."

Sora smiled. "Great! We'll go tomorrow! The sooner the better!" Everyone agreed, Sora walked back upstairs to his and Riku's room, he felt Riku come up behind him.

"Let's go pack," Riku suggested. They walked back upstairs to their room. "Are you sure this Aqua woman can help him?"

Sora shrugged. "Guess we'll find out when we get there. She's our best bet. If she can't help him, then we better find out as much as possible before these babies are born. The guy was really stressed out about it."

"Do you think it's wise to help someone we barely know?" Riku asked, knowing it was mean to say but still worried that something could go wrong.

"You helped me when I needed it and I was a stranger to you," Sora pointed out with a smile, packing a few clothes in his bag. "We barely knew each other for a week and you were already willing to put your life on the line for me."

Riku smiled slightly, remembering everything that week. "Yeah, I just wanna make sure nothing happens to you."

Sora walked over to him, hugging him. "Don't worry Riku. We'll figure all this out."

`~`~`Roxas' POV`~`~`

He was eating a sea salt ice cream, sitting on the counter in the kitchen, wondering what he should pack for the trip. Somehow, he realized he finished his ice cream, he put the stick aside and went to get another one. He sat back down on the counter and began eating his second one.

Axel suddenly groaned. "How did I know you would be in here, eating sea salt ice cream?" he asked.

Roxas smiled and shrugged. "I don't know! It's just my second one!" he said.

Axel looked at the side of him. "Wanna tell me how six ice cream sticks got there?"

He looked on the side of him, seeing six sticks there. "I didn't know I ate that much." He opened the freezer with his psychic ability, the box of sea salt ice cream floated to him. No ice cream was in it. "Damn! I gotta buy some more." Axel picked him up bridal style and carried him to their room. Roxas was still sucking on his ice cream.

"I swear, you're addicted to that ice cream," Axel huffed, opening the door to their room. Roxas just kept on sucking on his ice cream, lost in his own thoughts. He didn't even notice Axel just let him fall on the bed. Or the way Axel was staring at him.

Roxas looked up at Axel. "What?" he asked, completely oblivious to the way Axel was staring at him.

Axel grinned. "You look awfully adorable sucking on that ice cream Roxy." He snatched the treat away from him, laughing when Roxas squealed.

"Give it back Axel!" he shouted, trying to get his ice cream back. Axel laughed, holding it above his head, using his height to his advantage. "Come on Axel!"

Axel smiled evilly at him. "And what are you gonna do Roxy?"

Roxas suddenly groped his groin, Axel gasped out in surprise, Roxas took the opportunity to get his ice cream and run to the other side of the bed. He smiled when Axel glared at him.

"You little punk, I'm gonna beat your ass!" Axel growled, running after him. He ran after him, Roxas ran away laughing while still sucking on his ice cream.

He smiled at Axel. "If you can catch me!" He ran away when Axel tried to get him again. Axel climbed over the bed and tackled him down to the floor, Roxas somehow managed to save his ice cream. He was laughing at him, Axel smiled at him. "And you still managed to have it," Axel said.

Roxas smiled. "I love sea salt ice cream! I can't help that I'm addicted to it!" He finished his ice cream off, then tossed the stick somewhere in the room.

Axel laughed, bending his head down to kiss him. "You taste like it, but then again, you smell like it! You use sea salt scent shampoo, conditioner, and body wash!" He carried him back to the bed, lying down next to him.

Roxas rested his head on Axel's chest, tracing his finger around his chest. He closed his eyes, feeling Axel warm his hand up and rubbing his back. "I love it when your hand is hot," he whispered.

Axel's hand continued to massage his back, relaxing his muscles. "I'm glad you do," he replied.

He felt Axel's hand move over his right hip where the brand was. The heat coming from Axel's hand was making the skin warmer than the rest of his body. "Feels good right there," he mumbled.

Roxas pecked his cheek then laid his head back on Axel's chest. He closed his eyes, feeling sleepy.

Axel nipped at his neck. "I love you Roxas."

Roxas snuggled against him. "I love you too Axel." He wanted to show Axel his love, but he was too tired. But he knew Axel understood, not asking for anything. He fell asleep on top of Axel, enjoying the peace he was feeling at that moment.
