I Only See You by Ranchdressing

Thank you for all you people that waited for me to update this fic. I'm sorry that I made you guys wait this long! I'm also happy about all the reviews that I got for that chapter. But please understand that I have school getting in the way of updates! I'm really sorry!

The song that I put in fic is called "Tears don't fall" by Bullet for My Valentine. But unlike the previous chapters, I'll be putting bits and pieces of this song in this fic.

I DON'T own the song or any of the characters in this story.


Darkness. That's all he sees. Just plain darkness. It's pretty quiet in this darkness that he sees. He wants to say something, but there's nothing to be said. He feels like should say something-anything-but he doesn't know what to say. He heard someone calling him before, that voice was drowned out the moment he responded.

"Don't worry aibou. Ignore the other voices besides mine."

"Are you sure? Maybe that person had something important to say to me. That person was calling my name."

"I'm sure. Just focus on me and sleep."

"Okay… If you say so…"

"Good boy. Goodnight Sora. Have a pleasant slumber."

"Good…night…"


Suddenly there was a small ping in Riku's chest. It was the same type of ping that came whenever Sora goes Anti-Sora, and when he gave up his heart in order to save Kairi. And Riku knew that he was losing Sora.

'I'm losing him. I can feel it. He's slowly fading into the darkness. But why now?'

There's always something different going wrong

The path I walk is in the wrong direction

Unfortunately, because of his slight hesitance, Anti-Sora got in another near fatal blow. Riku fell back and started to spit out blood. He glared at the smirk on the Heartless' face and stood up.

"Tell me. What do you fight for? You can barely stand and Sora has already fallen into the darkness."

"I want him back. That's why I fight. I want Sora to come back to me-to everyone on the island. But mostly because if I let him go now, I'll be breaking the promise we made."

With blood shot eyes, I watch you sleeping

The warmth I feel beside me is slowly fading

Anti-Sora smirked and licked Riku's blood off its claws. Then it crouched down and disappeared into the ground. Riku looked around for it-but then realized that Anti-Sora left the hallway and was going towards Roxas' room. 'Damn!' was his only thought as he limped towards the sumbering boy's room.



The moments died, I hear no screaming

The visions left inside me are slowly fading


Roxas felt like he was dreaming. As if everything that happened to him-Axel leaving him, the beating by Xemnas and Sai'x-was only a dream. A horrible nightmare that is ending soon. But as his other self told him, "Nightmares don't get better. They only get worse, and there's nothing positive that can be said about it. So cling to whatever light you have, because you're going to experience something really, really bad."

And Sora was right. Because not only is Anti-Sora on his way to Roxas' room, but Xemnas has decided to 'visit' Roxas. Not that he knows any of this. Because if he did, then he would know that his life is going to-


This battered room I've seen before

The broken bones they heal no more, no more


He could feel a pending doom. He could feel that someone was going to die. Maybe he could smell it, but he's not Zexion. Besides, his nose is broken, so he can't really smell anything, can he?

He tries to move his hand, but he can't-it was broken in the mist of his beating. But he tries to anyway. He wills with his being that his hand moves, but will alone can't do much when one's body his battered and bruised. He'll settle with a finger moving, and that works-for only a couple seconds.

His body begins to feel the beating. All the punches that were served, the kicks that were given, and the impacts of Claymore meeting his skin, scratching it with its extendable claws. He tries to get his body to move, even a little, but it doesn't budge.

But he can hear someone coming, walking up to his cage. He wants to yell for help, but he knows that no one will. So he just lays there, accepting the beating that he knows will come.

'Why me? What did I do…? What can I do to help…? To prevent their plans from coming true and (bleeping) Roxas?'

His cage opens and he can't hear someone talking to him, all he hears is the cries of despair from his best friend, and the fact that he knows he can't help him doesn't help.


With my last breath I'm choking,

Will this ever end?


'This scent… It's so familiar.'

Zexion sniffs the air around him, trying to catch the fading scent. It was brief, but it almost smelled like Xemnas. But he wasn't supposed to on Destiny Islands, he was supposed to be at the World that Never Was. So couldn't have been him, right? But what if it really was him? What would he be doing here? Would he go after Roxas again? Or is he going after the Keyblade Wielders?

"…xy? Zexy? Hey Zexion, are you okay? Hey! Snap out of it! What are you doing?! We're in a tree! Hey!!"

Zexion snapped out of the scent's enchantment. He looks down to see Demyx holding him with worried eyes by the waist. He looked around him and saw that he on the edge of the tree branch they were sitting on, threatening to jump off of it.

"Come on, Zexy! I'm sure you smelled something interesting, but that doesn't mean you have to go after it! Please get off the edge!"

But somehow Demyx's words weren't really reaching him. He heard them, yet he couldn't comprehend them. He tilted his head to the side slightly and wiggled out of Demyx's grip.

The scent was back, and this time it was stronger than before. He had to find out where it was coming from. It seemed like it was calling him, telling him to follow it. And he had to answer it.

So he jumped off the tree branch, despite Demyx telling him not to.


Would she hear me, if I called her name?


"Interesting. Very, very interesting. It seems as if everything is going according to plan."

Needless to say, Vexen was very, very pleased. No one was there to bother him while he was in the lab, no one told him what to do, and no one tried to correct his nonexistent mistakes. And the plan he thought up was going quite smoothly.

Although he didn't plan on Number 6 becoming attracted to Number's scent, it still worked perfectly. It got him away from Number 9, and that's all that matters. But he wonders why Number 1's scent attracted Number 6 so much. It normally wouldn't have this effect-maybe Number 1 did something to heighten the effects of his scent? No, no. Because if that was the case, then Number 7 would be all over him, not here letting his Berserker side beat his experiment senseless. So what…?

"Ah, well. It doesn't matter much to me. So long as my plan succeeds, then I could care less of what Number 1 did to his scent." He says as goes to his room.

Maybe he should have wondered why there was no one bothering him. Or possibly why Xemnas' scent attracted Zexion so much. Or even why Xemnas' scent hasn't attracted Sai'x. But too bad he ponder these things, because if he did, he would have gone back to his lab. And in his lab he would have been safe, because when Sai'x goes berserk without Xemnas around to control him, he stays that way. And anyone in his way meets an unfortunate end.


Your tears don't fall they crash around me

Her conscience calls the guilty to come home


So what do you think? Is it worth the wait? I'm sorry if it took too long to update! Please forgive me!
