Chapter 10 – Feminine Screams (And A New Religion)

It was a peaceful day until Xemnas was reported of what the 'killer tree' had done. He's raging woke up everybody at 6:00AM which was very surprising because usually all the shouts from the top floor did not reach the basement at all. However, this time, they did and it made Vexen run around the corridors of the castle and scream, "It's the end of the world! Xemnas has lost his mind and will destroy the world!"

Of course, that mobilized everybody – and probably every creature in the city as well – until Xemnas came down from his room to tell everyone what's up. Once he had done so, everyone looked at Vexen feeling annoyed.

"Vexen, you need to start using your brain", Larxene informed him. "For a scientist you're surprisingly stupid."

Everyone mumbled in agreement as they headed back to their rooms while Vexen was left behind to listen Xemnas' complaining.

"Someone please give me a good reason not to turn around and go beat Vexen up", Zexion said.

"We can't", Saïx mumbled and yawned.

"Yeah, I think everyone here wants to beat him up right now", Axel said. He then looked at his wrist watch. "Good, we still got five hours to sleep until we really need to wake up."

"Sounds like a fantastic idea", Demyx said grinning. "Bye guys, I'm off to bed."

"I think I'll just go work on the breakfast", Xaldin said. "I was shaken up so well that I doubt I can sleep. It sucks that my room is basically next to Xemnas'."

"So is mine", Xigbar said. "But I'm still tired as hell. Why's that?"

"Maybe it's because you watched Miley Cyrus' concert clips the whole night."

"Good point, pal."

"I'm off to bed as well", Luxord said. "Unless someone wants to lose their money this early in the morning...?"

"No, Luxord, we don't. Go to bed", Larxene said.

"Okay then, m'lady, I will", Luxord answered and yawned as he left the others and headed towards the floor where his room was located. He was really tired.

Luxord sighed when he finally got back into his room and sighed as he closed his door. For some reason he had decided to gather all of his belongings into a pile in the middle of the room. It was swaying from side to side, just like the killer tree earlier.

"Dammit, it will take a while to clean this up..." Luxord mumbled. "Ugh, I think I'm just going to bed..." he added and began to climb the pile until he reached the top where his bed was. Once he laid down, he fell asleep again.

Once Luxord woke up five hours later, and got up, he forgot his bed was on the top of a pile of stuff and that's why he fell down to the floor and swore. It really hurt.

But at least I'm properly awaken now, he thought.

Usually others basically had to get violent to get him to awake.

Someone was singing somewhere in out of tune. It was eventually followed by a noise of a lightning shock and surprised screams and then – silence.

Luxord sighed. Usual madness was going on again, so he considered on climbing into his bed agan so he could sleep a little bit more but couldn't even start climbing on the pile – it collapsed and everything fell on top of him. It took a while for him to be able to dig himself out of the mass – somehow he had also dressed up while doing so – and wondered why nobody else had heard the noise.

"Who the hell screamed just now? Was it Larxene?" asked Xigbar's voice in the corridor.

"I think it was Luxord. I heard a loud crash coming from his room a moment after that", Zexion's joyless voice answered.

Luxord got up from the floor and headed towards the door. It was opened at the same moment from the other side and caused Luxord to stumble and fall on the floor again as the door hit him right into his face.

"Why are you sitting on the floor like that?" Xigbar asked curiously.

"What're you doing here?" Luxord asked at the same time as he massaged his Adam's apple which had also got hit by the door somehow.

"I feel bad for you", Zexion said.

"Shut it, kid. Is Xemnas back to normal?"

"He is. He decided to take over and is now sitting on Saïx's throne."

"Is the throne still in one piece?"

"Yeah, and then a new one was found somewhere. It was annoying because I had to help Xigbar and Xaldin to carry it down from the top floor to the first. Then we had to put it up on a pedestal that had been built by Larxene and Marluxia. Then Xemnas appeared wearing fur cloak, sceptre in his hand and a Miss Hollow crown on his head. I don't know where the crown is from though", Zexion explained.

"I wonder what's wrong with this idiot", Luxord wondered. "He isn't usually this crazy."

"Hard to say. I think it's contagious. Saïx still thinks he can see through walls", Xigbar said.

"YES I CAN!" Saïx said from the corridor.

Luxord got so surprised that he jumped and screamed in a very feminine voice.

Zexion looked at him for a moment, then turned around and left the room while he mumbled something nobody understood.

"Xigbar, did I really just scream like a woman?" Luxord asked.

Xigbar nodded. "I'm sorry, but you really do sound like a woman."

"Oh for the sausages' and Saïx's eyeballs' sake!"

"You really are a woman, dude. You can't even cuss like a man..." Xigbar mumbled and left the room.

"I can't cuss like men?" Luxord mumbled.

He got up from the floor and exited the room. Clean up mission had to wait for later. He was too hungry to even think about it. Maybe he could even lure someone to play some poker with him. Of course, everyone had gotten a lot smarter. They didn't give in as easily as they used to so Luxord would have to outsmart them somehow – which was pretty easy to be honest.

"Help me!" Xemnas' voice suddenly said from above. "How is it that you can only make dysfunctional parallelograms instead of a normal sized pedestal!?" man ranted on.

It was only then when Luxord realized that he had walked right into the weirdly shaped pedestal – and for once, he agreed with his leader. This thing was definitely dysfunctional.

"Um, could you please translate that weird language into something we understand?" Larxene asked but Xemnas didn't answer her – he was too busy trying to stop his chair from falling from the pedestal.

"Lux, I'm going to win you in Poker one day", Marluxia said grinning.

"Are you drunk?" Luxord asked.

"Not that I know", pink haired man answered and turned around to look at Larxene. "Am I sober?" he asked her.

Larxene had a hard time to keep the serious expression on her face.

"Well, it depends. Have you been drinking tea?" blonde woman asked.

"I think so, after we ate that amazing rice porridge you made this morning", Marluxia said.

"Then you must be drunk."

"I will never get over the fact that these two are in a relationship", Axel's voice said.

"I will never admit it", Larxene told him.

"You don't need to. We can see it clearly."

"Come with me, Marluxia", blonde woman just said, grabbed Marluxia's arm and dragged him away from others who watched them go.

"Those two just pretty much clarified that they are in a relationship", Axel said grinning.

"Why do they even keep it a secret, I wonder", Luxord said and tapped his chin with one of his fingers.

"Maybe they think Xemnas doesn't approve – which would be stupid because our leader obviously cares more about parallelogram ride on a chair than his subordinates' relationships", Axel said, pointing at their mighty leader who was still trying to immobilize his chair.

He looks hilarious, Luxord thought and sniggered.

"Okay, people!" Xemnas said as he kept sliding down the parallelogram pedestal, "Shouldn't you keep decorating the house?"

"We should make Zexion look more festive", Kairi suggested.

"NO WAY IN HELL", Zexion yelled and ran away as Sora, Kairi and Riku began to chase after him while laughing like lunatics. "NO!" Zexion's voice yelled in the stairs to the second floor.

"Why do they bully Ion like this?" Demyx asked.

"Why do you ask me? I don't know everything", Luxord answered.

"I want to know that, too", Larxene said.

"It's a new form of religion called Elfism", Axel said. "It's solely based on worshipping Santa Claus as a god, and wesacrificemistletoesforyouandMarluxia and convert someone Anti-Christmas person into a believer", Axel said.

"Hmm, I think I heard words 'you' and 'Marluxia' somewhere in that weird mumbling, Axel", Larxene pointed out.

"You heard wrong."

"I don't think I did", Larxene said, smiling. "Don't worry, I'll only give you a medium sized electronic shock, Axel –"

"Ugh, I shouldn't have waken up", Vexen's voice interrupted. He looked around for a moment, and then turned around. "Time to go back, I guess. Vexenia, I'm comin' for ya, babe!" he said as he hurried back into the basement.

"I don't know what's going on with that guy either", Luxord immediately said – just in case someone would try to ask him something about him.

"I think Vexen is just plain insane", Xaldin said.

"I think so too", Larxene said.

"He was yelling Vexenia related catch phrases all night long last night", Marluxia said and yawned. "I hate it when he does that."

"Wait, is Vexen still dreaming of that stupid kingdom of his?" Xemnas asked. Then he looked at himself and said, "What the hell am I wearing?"

"What the... he didn't know what he was wearing?" Luxord said, feeling surprised.

"Why is there decorations everywhere in my castle!?" silver haired man went on.

"Holy shit, did he actually return to normal?" Demyx asked.

"Goddammit! Now he's gonna order us to put these decorations away and we're almost done!" Axel said furiously.

"Let's lock him into the closet and let him out after Christmas", Demyx suggested.

"Do you really think he can't get out?" Luxord asked.

"He doesn't want to come out if he has a teddy bear there with him."

"I don't know who you are anymore", Larxene and Xaldin said simultaneosly while Marluxia nodded in agreement.

"Did you say we got a killer Christmas Tree here?" Xemnas asked as he threw the cloak, crown and the sceptre away – they flew right into the room where the said tree was. They were thrown back into the hall, which scared Xemnas – he fell off the parallelogram pedestal.

"Did he just say 'Kamikaze'?" Demyx asked as Xemnas had stood up again.

"I'm sorry if it offends your feelings, Demyx", silver haired man said and turned his attention to Axel. "Christmas?"

"Yes, Christmas. It's a annual celebration. Lots of red, mistletoes and glogg. Not to mention the Anti-Christmas people like Zexion converted into believers of Elfism."

"That sounds really dangerous", Xemnas pointed out.

"Let's also have a Christmas Karaoke!" Xigbar yelled from the roof where he was standing upside down for a reason Luxord didn't want to know.

"Wait, what?" Xemnas asked. "Also, what are you doing up there, idiot?"

"Christmas Karaoke. Let's have one", Xigbar said as he came down. "I had no real reason to be up there. I just felt like doing so", he added.

"You just want to sing Miley Cyrus songs, don't you?" Axel asked.

"Why not? She's great, and I know all the words!"

"We don't want to hear you sing her song. You're always out of tune", Marluxia said. "Sorry, dude."

"So no karaoke then", Xigbar said.

"No, we can have a karaoke but there should be a more diverse selection of songs", Axel said.

"Well, that settles it then."

"You really want it to happen, don't you?"

"I totally want. Karaoke is awesome."

"I disagree", Xemnas said.

"Hey, everybody", Roxas' voice said from the stairs. "Why are Sora, Riku and Kairi chasing after Zexion in the second floor? Their expressions were insane."

"They're trying to convert Zexion into Elfism", Axel said.

"What's that?"

"It's a new Christmas related religion", Luxord explained.

"Sounds awesome", Roxas grinned. "It should be a daily thing!"

"Now he's turning into one of those lunatics too", Marluxia predicted.

"Not today."

"Hmm, where did those four go though?" Xaldin said. "We should go look for them. Maybe they got lost."

"Or worse, Zexion might actually get converted", Axel said and grinned. "That would be interesting..."

"Okay, you go search them and I'll go to this room right here..." Xemnas said, having a distracted look on his face as he walked away.

"What's up with him?" Luxord asked curiously. "Also, would you like to make a bet on how long it will take until he snaps again?"

"No, Luxord. Stop trying", Axel said. "Also, Xemnas went to the room where the killer Christmas Tree is, you know..."

A/N: So here we are. Next chapter will be told from Marluxia's point of view.

Also, I'm gonna try my best to finish this story by Christmas (In my country it's December 24th) but I don't know if I'm able to. I'm trying to finish my Fairy Tail fanfic as well before Christmas but we'll see what happens. :)
