Chapter 10,

Saix seen Zexion coming down the hall. He appeared to be heading towards the superiors office, Saix is also heading to the same place. There was no way he'd let him be there while he was there. Saix thought, a little lie would do the trick. He will send him somewhere and confront him later.

"There you are Zexion" Saix said.

"Oh... Were you looking for me?" He asked casually.

"Yes. Xemnas had asked me to send you to the west lab. He said that he is waiting for you there" Saix lied.

"I thought he told me to come see him in his office" Zexion exclaimed.

So he tell him to come see him. Good thing I didn't order him to do something else or I would've had trouble turning him away. Saix thought to himself.

"He told me awhile ago, and he's already there" Saix lied again.

"I better get going then if he's there already. I don't want to get lectured by him" Zexion said before heading back down the hall.

Saix laughed. "Fool"

Saix watched him disappear around the corner before he continued. He waited for a few minutes to make sure he didn't turn back. Once he felt it was safe, he strolled back to the office. He really had no idea why he was going there, he just some how headed that way.

"Good morning Xemnas" Saix greeted as he walked into the room. Seeing that Xemnas wasn't at his desk, he spotted him by the cabinet, searching through files. Saix walked over towards his desk.

"Morning" He replied, his eyes not leaving the paper.

Saix often wonders what his superior thinking. Usually after a night they get close, the next day he seems silent. He doesn't really say much or even notice that he is there.

"Can you do me a favor?" Xemnas asked, but this time he looked at him.

Saix turned around. "Err...I ah. What can I do for you?" He asked, plopping down on the chair beside him.

Xemnas tried hard to hold his smile in but failed. He quickly turned away so he can let his smile run freely. Saix didn't seem to notice his smile. He sat there patiently waiting for him to speak.

Xemnas cleared his throat. "I would like you to..." He went quite. For some reason he couldn't finish his sentence. He stared down at the floor blankly.

"Is there something wrong sir?" Saix asked, leaning onto the desk.

"I forgot what I was going to say" Xemnas said as he was trying hard to remember.

"You've forgotten?" Saix sighed. He got up from his chair and walked towards him.

"What a disappointment this must be for you" Saix continued slyly. "You should try to remember" He moved a bit closer. "I'd like to hear what favor you liked me to do"

"If I could remember then I would tell you"

"Well, I better get back to work then" Saix said. "If you remember, you know where to find me" Saix left the room before Zexion did come back.

Saix quietly opened the door that lead to the lab. He spotted Zexion who looked busy writing something down in a book.

"Hello... Zexion" Saix greeted, making him jolt.

"Did I scare you?" He asked.

He turned, a bit surprise to see him and not Xemnas.

"I thought you said Xemnas was here already" Zexion said sharply.

"He sent me here instead" Saix told him.

"I don't believe you" Zexion looked at him suspiciously. "What is it that you want?" He asked.

"There is nothing that I want. However, there are a few things that I want to know" Saix said.

"About what?" He asked, hoping he wouldn't ask what didn't want him to ask.

"About Xemnas"

"What did you want to know? About his past?" Zexion asked.

Is this guy stupid or is he just playing dumb. Saix thought to himself.

"No you moron. You know what I am talking about" Saix retorted.

"I had nothing to do with it. I was just doing what I was told to do" Zexion exclaimed.

He knew there was more to it. He could tell by his expression that he wasn't telling the truth.

"I could tell that you are lying to me" Saix narrowed his eyes at him. He folded his arms over his chest and looked like he was waiting for a explanation.

Zexion looked back down at his open book. He waited a few moments and began to speak.

"I knew that he liked you, so I just thought I'd give him a little push" He spoke nervously, gripping onto the book.

"So it was you who left those things in my room?"

"Not exactly"

Saix leaned on the table waiting for him to go on.

"I left the letter in your room to see if you would go or not and that's how I know if you liked him or not" Zexion continued. "All the other stuff must of been him, as far as I know"

"What are you saying? The others might of had something to do with this to?" He asked, feeling a bit confused.

"I believe not. Xemnas and I are very close. He is not as close to the others, so most likely they wouldn't know" He exclaimed. He felt a bit more relaxed seeing that he didn't look too angry.

Saix felt that he was being honest, but why did he act the way he did. Could it just be an ruse just to make him feel confused. Saix wondered. He didn't bother to asked him as long as he knew what was really going on.

"Maybe you should tell him... That you like... him. That's if you do " Zexion suggested.

"Maybe I will" Saix smile at him vaguely and left the room
