Silver: Hello readers. As you may know today is Halloween and this is my Halloween special for the story even though it doesn't have much to do with Halloween.
Cibetreax: Yes, we know that you are all eager to read chapter 10 but this is not it; it's the Halloween special story. Yes it's a story.
Atthemwx: And just to let you know that Rokusion will not be the main pairing for this special but it will be included :)

-Another Chance to Live- Halloween Special-
(EDITED!)
"Saix" called Xemnas
Saix turned around to see Xemnas walking towards him.
"Yes Superior?"
"I need you to go Halloween Town with Roxas to eliminate a group or Carrier Ghosts," The Superior of the In-Between said
"Hmm? Why me? He's supposed to be partnered up with Xion for that mission." Saix replied.
"Yes, I am aware of that" Xemnas responded "But, Xion has apparently caught a cold from her mission at The Land of Dragons. So you're going to be his partner for today." Xemnas finished.
"But Superior-"
"Is there a problem Saix?" Xemnas questioned
"No Superior" Saix replied.
"Good. Be sure to report back immediately once you're done" Xemnas said before walking away.
Saix let out a heavy sigh 'Great, just what I need. To be partnered up with that Keyblade brat for the day' he thought.
Saix entered the Gray area. From his view he could see Xigbar and Luxord playing poker on the right side, Luxord obliviously winning, Demyx sitting right next to them strumming his sitar, Zexion reading his Lexicon on the left side, as well as Larxene applying lip gloss across from him.
"Alright, everybody stop fooling around and get to work" Saix said in his usual calm tone. He brought his clipboard in his hand to his face, reading it out. "Xigbar you and Demyx will be doing heart collection in Agrabah. Luxord, you'll be destroying Shadow Globes in Wonderland. Zexion, you'll be collecting emblems in Twilight Town." Saix finished. Everyone summoned their Dark Corridor and left for their mission.
One by one all of the other Organization came into the Gray Area with Saix ready to assign them to their mission.
"Okay, Marluxia seems to be the last one" Saix said to himself checking his clipboard. All of the names were crossed off, including Xion since she had the cold. The last name on his board was no other then the Key of Destiny, Roxas.
'Great, where is that Keyblade brat' Saix thought to himself while looking through the halls of the castle.
-With Roxas-
While Saix was looking for Roxas, Roxas was in Xion's room sitting on a chair next to her bed.
"Roxas you really don't need to be here. It's just a cold *cough*" Xion said
"No it's okay Xion" Roxas replied kindly
"But don't you need to go on your mission with Axel?" Xion asked
"What? Oh, well Axel's is partnered up with Larxene not me. You were supposed to be my partner Xion. We were suppose to go Halloween Town and eliminate a group of Carrier Ghosts" Roxas said
"Oh. Then where's Axel mission then?" Xion asked
"He and Larxene are going to Port Royal for heart collection," answered Roxas
"Port Royal? Oh yeah, I went their once not a very nice place." Said Xion
"What do you mean?"
"Well, for one, it smells like beer. Two, drunken pirates were everywhere. And lastly, I was partnered up with Luxord for that mission and we came back late because he got drunk" Xion answered
"Well, it's not like Axel is going to drink. I mean he's with Larxene right? She would probably shock with a thunderbolt to teach him a lesson if he did get drunk." Roxas chuckled
"Yeah, you're probably right about that *cough*" Xion replied smiling
When Roxas saw her smiling him; he also began to smile.
"Roxas!" Saix barged into the room, kicking the door right open.
"Gah! Y…yeah Saix?" Roxas asked nervously
"Quit messing around, we have to eliminate those Carrier Ghosts" Saix muttered
"Wait a sec. We?" Roxas questioned
"Yes, XIII I'm going to be your partnered for the day…sadly." Saix whispered the last part of the sentence
"Umm. Okay. See you later Xion." Roxas said trailing behind the Lunar Diviner.
-At Halloween Town-
Saix and Roxas both walked though the dark corridor that led to Halloween Town.
"So um-"Roxas was cut off by Saix's voice
"According to our resources the group of Carrier Ghosts that we are suppose to eliminate gave separated into two smaller groups," said Saix
"Umm, okay. So we should probably find the first group and-"
"No. We'll split up and we'll both take care of one group," said Saix
"Umm sure but do you know were the groups are?" asked Roxas
"One group is in the Town Square and the other is at the Suspension Bridge" Saix replied. "You take care of the group in the Town Square and I'll take the group at the Suspension Bridge"
"Okay. But what if one of us finishes before the other?" asked Roxas
"Then just RTC. It doesn't matter if we don't finish at the same time we just need to eliminate our targets" Saix said coolly
"Alright" Roxas said quietly.
-Skipping to the Suspension Bridge with Saix-
Once Saix climbed the ladder at the Moonlight Hill, he arrived at the Suspension Bridge.
"Let's see, where could you hide" Saix muttered
After he said the last word 3 Carrier Ghosts appeared.
"There you are. Let's make this quick and sweet shall we." Saix smirked summoning his claymore in his hand.
(Skipping most of the battle scene because it's just like any other fight :P)
Saix had defeated 1 of the Carrier Ghosts and he was about to eliminate his second. He struck it with all of his strength in his claymore as it disappeared.
Saix then looked around searching for the third but it was nowhere in sight.
"What the-? Where did that thing go?" Saix wondered
"Look out!" a feminine voice cried out.
"Huh?" Saix turned around to see the Carrier Ghost behind him.
It grabbed him, green smoke started to surround him as he felt his life being drained out of him. Saix struggled but it was no use, the Carrier Ghost had its tight grip on him, levitating in mid-air.
Saix was about to pass out when he saw a silver glaive slice the Heartless in two. He fell to the ground before he lost consciousness.
-With Roxas at the CTNW-
After Roxas defeated his group of Carrier Ghosts he RTC back to the castle just like Saix said so.
He decided to check on Xion but when he peeked through her door he saw that she was fast asleep, so he decided to look for Axel for them to go to the cloak tower.
Roxas walked to the Gray Area to see if Axel was there, but he wasn't.
He walked up to Demyx who was sitting on one of the couches strumming his sitar.
"Hey Demyx" said Roxas
"Hey man. What's up" Demyx greeted
"Have you seen Axel?" asked Roxas
"No. He's probably trying to avoid all of that water at Port Royal" Demyx chuckled
"Oh. I thought he would be done by now" Roxas said to himself.
"Relax Roxas. He should be back with Larxene any minute now." Said Demyx not even bothering to look up.
"Okay." Roxas sat on one of the gray chairs waiting for Axel.
-20 minutes later-
Marluxia had walked to the Gray Area and went towards Xigbar.
"Xigbar, have you seen Larxene?" The Graceful Assassin asked
"If you mean Ms. Kunai-mouth then no. She's still out on her mission with Flamesilocks at Port Royal" answered the Freeshooter
"That's strange. She doesn't usually take this long to complete a mission," said Marluxia
In an instant a dark corridor appeared in the center of the Gray Area.
"There they are. About time they finished" Xigbar said
Stumbling out of the dark corridor was two obviously drunk Nobodies leaning against one another.
"Hey *hic* guys, *hic* what's up" Axel slurred
"What the-? Are you drunk?" Marluxia walked up to Axel
"Now, now hang on a second Marluxia *hic* now just, what are sayin?" Larxene garbled
"You too?" Marluxia said in shock
"What's going here?" Xigbar chuckled walking up to drunken duo.
"I think I know the reason they took so long to complete their mission" Marluxia whispered to Xigbar
Xigbar took a sniff in front of Larxene's face and swiftly took a step back covering his nose.
"Dang! How much did you guys drink at Port Royal?" Xigbar asked
"What drinking is you talken' about Xiggy?" Axel wobbled to Xigbar's face.
"Uhh! Yep you two are definitely drunk," Xigbar said in disgust
"Axel! There you are. I never thought you would have to take so long to get back. What were you doing the past hour?" Roxas asked
"Past hour?" Marluxia questioned
"Yeah, I asked Vexen if Axel was done his mission, he that he did he just hadn't RTC'd with Larxene yet." Replied Roxas
Marluxia, Xigbar and Demyx who just happened to see what was happening, all looked at Roxas and then at Axel and Larxene.
Axel's and Larxene's hair were messier then normal, Axel had lip gloss smeared on his face, Larxene had saliva dripping down her face, they smelled like sweat and their coats were seriously messed up with their zipper in the center of their chest.
All of them except for Roxas had a pretty good idea of what they did at Port Royal the last hour.
"Umm. Marluxia I think you should go to Twilight Town and go buy some birth control." Xigbar said to Marluxia not taking his focus off of the drunken pair.
"Okay, then make sure that they don't DO anything alright?" Marluxia said cautiously as he summoned a dark corridor.
"Trust me. We'll make sure of it. Right Dem?" Xigbar said turning his attention to the Melodious Nocturne.
"Definitely. The last thing we need is a No. XV" Demyx said nodding his head.
Marluxia nodded his head as he went to Twilight Town.
"Alrighty, then while Flower Boy is getting you some birth control we put you two in separate rooms" Xigbar said taking Axel's arm. "Dem you take Larxene to her room 'kay?"
"Yeah I got it." Demyx replied taking Larxene's arm.
"I don't get it. What's birth control?" asked Roxas
"Well tell you when you're older Roxas." Said Demyx
"I'm 15" Roxas said defiantly
"Well, technically you're only 1" Demyx replied walking away with Larxene.
Roxas then made the 'what just happened face' and decided to just go to bed pretending that he didn't see Axel drunk.
(Okay that was totally random but I just had to put that in :D)
-With Saix still in Halloween Town-
When Saix woke up he found himself in a bed that was inside a house, which was in Halloween Town.
"Oh you're awake," a feminine voice said
Saix turned around and saw a young woman probably his age maybe a bit younger; she had peachy orange hair, ivory skin, pale green eyes, and a pair of white dog-ears on the top of her head.
Saix stared at her for a moment, but she thought that he was staring at her dog-ears.
She quickly covered her ears with her hands, "If you're wondering about the ears it's because-"she was speaking very quickly but Saix was able to speak before she could finish.
"No it's not the ears. I just never seen a female that looked so…pretty" Saix said with a hint of pink on his face. It was true though. Larxene was well, Larxene and Xion was just a child.
"Oh. Well, thank-you" she said taking her hands off of her ears. "I'm Alice (NO relation to the Alice in Wonderland) nice to meet you"
"Saix, nice to meet you as well Alice" Saix said calmly
"Here let me change your bandages" Alice offered
Saix looked his arms and saw bandages wrapped around his right arm, his left elbow, his lower abdomen, and his neck.
Alice began to unravel the bandages on his elbow; Saix then remembered how he got his injuries. The Carrier Ghost.
"What about the Heartless?" Saix asked
"What Heartless?" Alice tilted her head
"The one that gave me these injuries. THAT Heartless" Saix said defiantly
"It's okay. I destroyed it when it knocked you out" Alice said sweetly
"You destroyed it? With what?" Saix asked
"With my glaive. There's no way I'd be able to destroy with my bare hands," Alice answered pointing to the pole-arm in the corner.
As Alice continued to replace Saix's bandages, Saix started to think about if she were to join the Organization.
'She's perfect.' Saix thought to himself. 'She's polite, she can handle her own weapon, and she can take care of any injuries that may transpire'
"There. All done" Alice said tying a little knot on his abdomen.
"Thank-you Alice. But I must get going." Saix stood up and began to walk towards the door.
"Wait." Alice spoke before Saix could leave
"Hmm?"
"Will…you come back…here?" Alice asked timidly
"You mean to Halloween Town?" Saix raised his eyebrow
"No, well, yes. But I mean-"Alice started fumbling with her words.
Saix some how found it amusing seeing Alice getting nervous just trying to get him to come back to Halloween Town.
"I mean. Will you come back here? To my home?" Alice said quietly putting her head down to hide her blush.
"Sure why not." Saix said
"Really?"
"Of course. You're obviously a pleasant person. Helping me, a stranger. So therefore I'm in debt to you," Saix said calmly
"Oh, you don't owe me anything. I just want you to come back because I want…to be…friends," Alice said shyly
'Friends?'
"Um, alright I'll make sure to come back when I can." Saix said in his normal calm voice but it did have a hint of…happiness.
"That's great to hear. So will you come back soon?" she asked
"We'll see. But I WILL be back though" Saix said with a little smile.
Alice smiled as well.
Saix then began to walk back to RTC.
-At the CTNW-
"What do you mean that he hasn't RTC'd yet?" Xemnas asked menacingly to Roxas
"Well, he um, suggested that we spit up to get the Heartless so we would be done faster, so then when I finished eliminating my Heartless I went to RTC because I thought he was already done." Roxas said nervously worried that Xemnas would eat him alive since he was accused of 'losing' the second in command.
"You better find him, or else you'll BEG for death!" Xemnas threatened
Roxas felt all of the blood fall from his face when he looked into the eyes of one angry Xemnas.
"Hey Saix is back!" someone cried out from the hallway
"You dodged the bullet this time XIII" Xemnas said in a low tone.
Roxas nodded and when Xemnas left his room he immediately locked his door and went under his covers.
-Outside in the Gray Area-
Outside in the Gray Area, the other members surrounded Saix asking him what happened during his mission whether he had trouble finding the Heartless and what not.
"Saix" Xemnas walked into the Gray Area.
"Superior" Saix greeted
"I would like to know what it took you so much time to RTC." Xemnas said
"The target Heartless simply knocked me out when I let my guard down" Saix replied.
"Do you mind explaining the bandages on your neck then?"
Saix had completely forgotten about the bandages. He made sure that his arms were covered but he had forgotten about the ones on his neck.
"Erm, a resident helped me when I woke up. I wanted to leave but she insisted that she wrap my wounds" Saix replied
"Hm. Very well then." Xemnas said. "All of you get to bed, now"
-In Saix's room-
Saix couldn't sleep at all. All he could think of was Alice.
'What am I thinking? Getting worked up over Alice' Saix thought. He began to think it over. She wanted to be friends with him. And they had just met. Then again he wasn't used to the feeling he never had a friend in his Nobody existence.
He sat up and began to form glass like letters. A-L-I-C-E is spelled.
He moved his right hand and the letters began to spin around until they formed a new name when he threw his right hand making an X in the name.
The new name was spelt-
L-E-X-C-I-A
"Lexcia" Saix whispered "Yes that will be her new name"
-The Next Day…-
Saix woke up a bit earlier then the others to check t=which missions would be assigned to which member.
He was almost done. All he had to do was assign a mission for himself and Demyx.
"Let's see…the only missions left are eliminating a Heat Saber and a Chill Ripper in Twilight Town and recon in Halloween Town"
'Halloween Town? I could see Alice after I'm done. But then again Demyx wouldn't survive 1 second with either of those Heartless…' Saix thought.
"Hmm…" Saix made his decision and wrote them down on his clipboard.
-Later that Day in the Gray Area-
"You want me to what?" Demyx cried
"You need to eliminate a Heat Saber and a Chill Ripper in Twilight Town" Saix repeating himself for the 20th time.
"But why?" Demyx wined
A vein popped out on Saix's forehead.
"Just do it! I have my own mission to do" Saix yelled while rubbing his temples.
"And what mission is that?" Demyx pouted
"Recon at Halloween Town. Now get to work." Saix left through his dark corridor leaving Demyx with his jaw open.
-At Halloween Town-
After Saix finished his mission rather quickly he went to Alice's home.
He knocked on the door and as he hoped Alice opened it.
"Hello Saix I didn't expect to see you so soon" Alice smiled
"Well, I was nearby so I thought I'd drop by to see you" Saix replied
"I'm glad to hear you say that" Alice smiled
-A few weeks later and I'm skipping because nothing interesting happens…-
Everyday after Saix completed his mission he would go visit Alice in Halloween Town. Just like Roxas, Axel, and Xion would go to the cloak tower and eat ice cream.
Just like them, their bond got stronger.
"Okay Xigbar you and me will be going to Halloween Town for Heart collection" Saix said to the Freeshooter
"Alright then. But just to make sure…what mission does Demyx have?" Xigbar asked
"Recon at Neverland why?"
"Because this is his first mission ever since you put him in the castle's ICU for sending him to Twilight Town to eliminate those two giant Heartless." Xigbar answered
"Whatever lets just go" Saix sighed summoning a dark corridor.
-After the mission in Halloween Town-
"Alright, we're done let's RTC now." Said Xigbar
"You go on without I need to go check up on something," said Saix
"Okay, see at the castle then" Xigbar began to walk away and Saix walked in the opposite direction.
As Saix walked to Alice's house he began to think about turning her into a Nobody and for her to join in the ranks of the Organization.
Once he arrived to her house they did their usual routine; say hello, have a bit of dinner, and talk, but then afterwards Saix would usually leave but today was different.
After they ate a bit of dinner they went to Alice's living room to talk.
"So Alice what do for a living?" Saix asked. He had to before turning her into a Nobody.
"Hmm…well I take care of Zero when Jack is busy but I guess that's not really a job now is it?" Alice laughed innocently
"Oh." 'That dog can survive without her. After all it does have an owner right?' Saix thought
"What about family? Where are they?" Saix asked
"Don't have one. I'm an orphan so now I would donate some food to the orphanage outside of town" Alice smiled
Saix sighed 'I can't do this to her. I can't turn her into a Nobody. She has other people depending on her. I'm just going to have to wait until Kingdom Hearts is complete then' he thought
"Saix are you okay?" Alice snapped him out of his thoughts.
"Oh, I'm fine I was thinking about something" Saix replied
"Thinking about what?" Alice tilted her head.
"Just a far off fantasy" Saix sighed. "I should probably go now" Saix got up and began to head towards the door but Alice cut him off.
"Saix wait." Alice said
"Yes, Alice?"
"Saix, I don't want you to go. Not yet" Alice said hesitantly
"Why not?" Saix asked
"Because…I…I don't know how to say this but…I think…"
"You think what?"
"I think that I may love you" Alice blurted out
Saix didn't know what to say.
"I…I love…you too Alice" Saix whispered.
He was then introduced to a kiss. At first he was in shock but then he kissed back, wrapping his arms around her waist.
-In the morning-
When Saix woke up he found himself in Alice's bed, naked, and her also naked, curled up to his chest.
He moved a bit closer to her, wrapping his arms around her.
He thought of the night before. He couldn't but to think that he was lying to her.
All of the 'I love you's he said to her were lies. He couldn't feel any emotion and certainly not love.
He looked at her sleeping face. To him she looked like an angel. He poked at the tips of her dog-ears and they twitched in which he thought was somewhat adorable.
Alice slowly opened her eyes and saw Saix's in front of hers.
"Good morning Saix" she cooed
"Good morning Alice" he replied back.
"So when were you going to tell me?" she asked grinning
"What do you mean?" Saix asked
"When were you going to tell me that you're a Nobody?" she asked sitting up
'Oh no. Busted'
"What do you mean Alice?" he stuttered
"Don't try to hide from me Saix. I'm part canine remember? I can smell your scent," she answered
"So, did you just find out?" he asked
"Yes. Your coat was hiding your scent so that's why I found out last night" she said
"But how do you know about the Nobodies then Alice?" Saix asked
"I saw some of those white Nobodies taking about it when I went to Town Square" Alice replied
"Oh. Note to self. Don't let the Dusks out into public areas unless needed." Saix mumbled
"It's okay Saix. You should probably get back to your home now, right?" Alice asked
"Thank-you for understanding Alice" Saix grinned for once
"You'll still come back right?" Alice asked
"Of course I will" Saix replied
-A few months later-
"Kingdom Hearts is almost complete" Saix said
"I know, but isn't most of the Organization-"
"Yes, most of the Organization is destroyed because of that Keyblade wielder" Saix sighed, "Our numbers are falling one by one. He's at the castle right now. Xemnas, is expecting me to fight him next if Xigbar and Luxord fail to stop him"
"But what if you can't beat him?" Alice asked worriedly
"If I fail to defeat him, then I will digress into nothingness" Saix answered
Both Alice and Saix closed their eyes on the Moonlight Hill, holding one another's hand.
As the moon was at its peak Saix snapped his eyes open.
"Luxord is no more…" Saix trailed off
Alice covered her mouth with tears stinging her eyes.
"I'm next, Alice" Saix got up and summoned a dark corridor.
"Wait. Give me your earring" Alice said
"What?"
"Give me your earring and I'll give you mine. I want part of me to be with you if you do digress" Alice said with her voice cracking
Saix took one of his stud earrings and switched it with Alice's. She also had stud earrings quite similar to his own.
Saix then summoned 3 Berserker Nobodies.
"These Berserker Nobodies will keep you company while I'm gone. They'll obey all of my commands until death." Saix said
"Promise, you'll come back?" Alice said on the verge of tears
"I can't promise anything that I can not guarantee, my dear" Saix said drearily
He gave one last kiss to her before going through the dark corridor.
Several minutes past. Minute's turned into an hour. And Alice held Saix's stud clenched in her hands.
As time ticked by Alice continued to sit on the Moonlight Hill.
Her eyes turned to the Berserker Nobodies who were all staring at the moon above them.
Without warning the Berserker Nobodies disappeared.
Alice was in absolute shock but then she remembered what the Lunar Diviner had said to her.
'They'll obey all of my commands until death'
Alice closed her eyes tightly trying to prevent the tears from coming out but they slowly slid down her face.
"All he wanted was a heart. Was that too much to ask for?" she mumbled
Rain slowly followed the rain came down harder and harder. Alice didn't care on how wet she got, she just didn't care anymore.
The rain continued to fall until all of the sudden Alice couldn't feel the droplets falling.
She looked in front of her and sure enough the rain was still falling, but when she looked above her was a giant Berserker using its giant hand to cover her.
"Why…did you come back?" she asked
"My master's last wish before he was defeated was to keep you safe. And that's what we plan on doing" replied the Berserker Nobody in a deep tone.
As he spoke several other Berserker Nobodies appeared.
'I'm sorry Alice…I won't be able to see you again' Saix's voice was heard through her ears.
"Saix…it's okay. At least you tried" Alice whispered holding his stud earring in the palm of her hand.
All he wanted was a heart. So he would be able to truly love her. Was that too much to ask for?
A/N This is just the edited version not chapter 10. Sorry but I just had to fix some errors that I made :P
Silver: Whew! This has to be the longest chapter yet!
Cibetreax: Well, actually it's not really a chapter it's your Halloween special.
Atthemwx: So Silver will make a bunch of other specials that will be based on other Oc pairings just not Roxas, Xion, Axel, or Larxene on holidays or when she feels like it.
Gold: All right so R n' R lets us know what you think about this first special chapter but no flames.
Nilaxsa: Okay that's it so just R 'n R and Silver will get the real chapter 10 posted as soon as she can :)
