[Well what can I say, I couldn't resist adding some more to this. Put it this way the last chapter ended pretty darkly and I couldn't just leave it at that, I'm not that evil am I? You know what don't answer that, enjoy! XD]
A loud thumping noise made Saix groan and open his eyes blurrily, he sat up with a start. He was back in his bedroom, his pants still on and he was definitely alone. Had he dreamed it...his entire body throbbed in pain. No he couldn't have dreamed it... He glanced around the room, a feeling of disorientation filling his head, and that thumping sound! The diviner placed his palm on his head and scrunched up his face, his eyes closed tightly. "Oh mighty second in command, oh mister high and mighty?" came a lyrical voice, almost singing the words out sarcastically. If it wasn't for the familiarity of the voice he would have presumed it was Demyx, if only...no this had to be Axel. He managed to pull himself to his feet, his entire lower body ached under his weight as he stood up.
Saix managed to make his way to the door despite the pulsating pain, he flung his door open to greet the grinning red-head, "What do you want!" Saix roared at Axel, the tall, thin man snickering at him as he did. "Oh nothing...say Saix...aren't you always pestering us about being late?" the red-head tried to feign a serious expression but failed as the side of his mouth twitched into a half-smile. "Can you get to your point anytime soon...?" he responded groggily, still half asleep and rubbing a hand against his eye. Number VIII burst out laughing as Saix questioned him, "Hello? Anyone home up there?" he pretended to knock on the seconds head like a door.
"You know! Our once a weekly, all important meeting at the Altar of Naught?" Axel waited patiently for some kind of reaction from Saix, but the Luna Diviner cocked his head to the side, still oblivious as to what Axel was getting at. The amused looking red-head had an expression of disbelief painted on his face, "the one that you're always early for..." he continued slowly as if waiting for something. Saix crossed his arms, barely conscious and growing more and more frustrated with number VIII every second he spoke. Axel let out another snicker, "...you know...the one that started about...oh I don't know..." he paused pretending to look at a non-existent watch on his wrist, "10 minutes ago."
The Luna Diviner did nothing for a few moments, gathering his thoughts before finally cocking an eyebrow, "10...minutes ago...?" He slowly turned around to the elegant silver clock placed above his bed, it confirmed Axel's words. After a few more seconds of letting the words process he sprinted over to his closet leaving his door wide open, Axel continuing to stand there smirking at Saix frantically searching for his uniform. He grabbed a black long-sleeved shirt and pulled it over his head then scanned the room for his boots and gloves, they were lying on the floor neatly next to his bed.
He forced his leather-clad boots on then started to walk towards the door as he shoved his hands into his pair of tight leather gloves. "Woah woah...hold up, don't you think you're forgetting something hmm?" Axel shook his head, giving him another wide grin. The Luna Diviner looked himself up and down in the single mirrored wall to his right, he exhaled in frustration...his coat. "Right..." Saix murmured, he was definitely unfocused, his mind off wondering if last night had been a dream. He didn't think the superior would ever do such things to him, but the pain he felt over his entire body was otherwise unexplainable.
The second noticed his coat draped over the white sofa, he stumbled over in his aching and tired state, picked it up and pulled it on unzipped. The Diviner took a moment to steady himself before staring at Axel, "so Xemnas sent someone down to retrieve me when I was late?" wondering why the superior would choose the red-head of all people, Axel shook his head and waggled his finger patronizingly, "how should I know? I wasn't up there." Saix zipped up his coat as he closed the distance between himself and axel, "It's mandatory." Saix retorted coldly, causing Axel to laugh and cross his arms as he began to walk away, "Can you get to your point anytime soon?" the red-head called back over his shoulder, mocking the bluenette's earlier words.
Saix motioned for a dark corridor and walked through to his destination, the entrance to the Altar of Naught, Taking a deep breath to try unsuccessfully to steady himself, he walked in. His footsteps echoed loudly and ten nobodies dressing exactly the same as him glanced back at the sound, all no doubt wondering why Saix of all people was late. The diviner took another deep breath and walked over to stand next to Xigbar, he usually stood closer to Xemnas, but after the odd...he couldn't even finish that thought, what did he call it? Events? Dreams? The Bluenette truly had no idea, he tried to forget the pain and weakness he felt and attempted to focus more on number I's words.
"This baron lifeless spot shall one day be filled with the power of Kingdom Hearts, it shall course through each of us and just as it becomes the heart of this empty world, it shall become the heart of these empty people." He motioned over the other organization members with his hand, "now that I have explained to you our exact goal and plan for that goal I need you to focus on the words I have spoken today, and there will be no tolerance for failure. I will not explain again." Saix looked on in confusion, he had overslept, he had missed some kind of important instruction...and he could not rely on asking another member. They would most likely give him false information.
All but Xigbar, Xemnas and Saix left the Altar of Naught, Xigbar let out a chuckle, "well well well, it's all coming together then, huh?" his voice sarcastic as usual...Saix had no idea if Xigbar was being genuine or not. "Profusely." The superior responded, "you were late VII." His voice more agitated while speaking the latter, Xigbar tried to muffle some highly inappropriate laughter in the tense situation then hit Saix on the shoulder and walked towards the exit, "I'm gonna bail...give you two some privacy." He continued walking off, the diviner almost felt the need to call back after him, not wanting to be alone with the other silver-haired man.
"I apologize for being late...I woke up feeling quite ill and..." he trailed off mid-sentence as he saw an almost angry expression as if signalling Saix's next words, "...I am truly sorry...there is no excuse." Xemnas nodded, taking a moment to compose a more calm demeanor then walked past Saix towards the exit. It must have been a dream, his behaviour was completely normal to the diviner or at least so he thought until the next moment passed by. "you are forgiven for being late...and for the unconscious state you fell into last night." The superior called back as he exited, If Saix had a heart it would have felt like it had dropped to his feet, his mouth opened in complete shock and he stood there, motionless.
