Author's note: These are from a LJ dice theme challenge that I felt were too short to post individually. I'll post the longer ones later on.

2. Roxas & Luxord: Heart
"Roxas, if you remember nothing I've taught you, remember this, the higher the stakes of the game, the more you have to lose. We are all in this Organization because we put up something we never should have as collateral, and the universe collected. Do so again and you will find there are worse things than not existing."

3. Xaldin & Saïx: Ice Cream
"I demand to know the reason behind your frequent incursions into this Twilight Town," Saix said in his most authoritarian voice. Yet for all his strength and intimidation, all he got was a raised eyebrow and an amused, "I enjoy the local ice-cream."

4. Larxene & Xigbar: Castle
Xigbar shot Larxene his most charming smile before saying, "Hey babe, mind if I storm your castle?"

Larxene shot him a similar grin as she said, "Only if you mind me mounting your head on a pike above the battlements."

5. Xigbar & Axel: Candy
Xigbar came upon Axel lying on the floor after the red haired Nobody had incurred another savage beating at the hands of Roxas.

"Keep this up Axel, and everyone's gonna think you're the creepy guy who offers candy to little kids to get in his van."

"I'll try to keep that memorized."

6. Axel & Saïx: Clock
Saix looked at the clock one last time, just to confirm that Axel had indeed failed to return with Roxas before the deadline. That meant that Axel was either dead, had failed, or had revealed himself to be a traitor. Saix indulged in a small smirk, because the reason for the failure didn't matter, all that mattered was that the hunt was on.

7. Demyx & Axel: Old
"You want to know what sucks about never getting old Demyx?"
"What?"
"Neither of us is going to break six feet."
"You have to see the bright side Axel. At least our somebodies were old enough to drink. Plus, we get to keep our hair!"

8. Vexen & Marluxia: Shadows
Vexen sought to control the shadows. Marluxia sought to become the shadows. In the end, their fate was the same.

9. Xemnas & Xigbar: Fireworks
Xemnas and Xigbar stood on the roof of the Emperor's palace, silently watching the celebration of the defeat of the Huns. When he had seen enough Xemnas broke the silence by saying, "These people do seem to like fireworks. Xigbar, why don't you give them some to remember?" With that, Xemnas departed the world in a cloud of darkness.

10. Roxas & Xaldin: Yellow
"Roxas, what are you doing up there in that ridicules outfit?"
"The question you should be asking is why Xigbar has a yellow sun dress in my size. Now get me down!"

13. Demyx & Xemnas: Sorry
As Xemnas watched Demyx fall to the Keyblade master, a small part of him felt sorry that he could not feel sorrow for the young man. The rest of him only felt sorry for the lost resource.

14. Demyx & Marluxia: Darkness
Perhaps the reason Marluxia never felt much of a connection to Demyx was because after learning how to grow plants in darkness, water just didn't seem that essential anymore.

15. Lexaeus & Xaldin: Young
My companion looked at me with a calculating gaze, before asking, "Do you miss anything about the Garden?"

I knew what he was doing. He was probing for weaknesses, finding advantages, and filing them away for future use, just like all of my former colleagues. I knew this, and so I gave him an answer he would never understand.

"I miss most the laughter of children old friend."

He looked at me as if I had spoken an alien tongue, and I knew there was truly nothing left of my friend.

17. Axel & Xemnas: Alone
In the end, it was not Roxas that motivated Axel's betrayal, it was Xemnas. Axel had seen him standing there staring up at Kingdom Hearts, and Axel had realized that it was not dying that he truly feared. He knew that they were all going to die, and he did not want to die like Xemnas, he did not want to die alone.

18. Vexen & Luxord: Surprise
Vexen felt a mixture of surprise and frustration when, even after he had created a luck suppression device, Luxord somehow still managed to beat him every week. For his part Luxord was surprised Vexen kept coming back every week.

20. Demyx & Larxene: Music
Demyx was startled when Larxene stalked in on the middle of his practice, confused when she threw herself into a seat, and terrified when she hurled a kunai right next to his head as he started to ask what she wanted.

"Don't talk Demyx, just shut up and play."

21. Luxord & Lexaeus: Papers
Lexaeus surprised everyone by selecting Luxord as his sparring partner. When asked why he had done so, Lexaeus simply commented that he would rather die by one solid blow, then by a thousand paper cuts.

22. Saïx & Marluxia: Hope
After witnessing Saix's rage first hand, Marluxia found himself hoping that he would not be present when the Keyblade Master finally confronted the berserker.

23. Saïx & Zexion: White
One corrupted the light, twisting around himself to mask the truth and spread his lies under a sheet of white. The other was corrupted by the light, twisted by it to spread death and pain to all he saw, wrapped in pale death. Perhaps this is what made them so deadly together.

24. Larxene & Xaldin: Memories
"What you need to remember Larxene, that it is simple to shatter a man's body. But to shatter his soul, to take everything he loves and grind it beneath your feet before leaving him broken, empty, and alone, that takes an artists touch."

25. Larxene & Axel: Promise
As he lay dying, Axel couldn't help but think, "The one promise I keep, and it gets me killed. Larxene must be laughing her ass off right now."
