~~Chapter 9~~

Xemnas Report: 905

10:55pm

Revenge can go wrong.

It was night time, and I wished that I could sleep, but sleep liked to evade me.

I hoped that IV would know for sure if Kingdom hearts was starting to work or not. I wondered how the news would affect my subordinates if it were true, especially how it would affect Saïx.

Axel and Marluxia's antics had provided a distraction from Saïx, but now I didn't have that entertainment.

I wonder how Axel will avenge the destruction of his room.

I couldn't stay in my room any longer; my thoughts were driving me mad there. I had to find out more about Kingdom Hearts and what progress IV had made.

I decided to go to his room and find out.

Surely he's in bed I thought, suddenly realising that I was probably the only one awake.

Who cares if he's asleep, came a voice in my head, which sounded a lot like Voldemort. I am his Superior after all!

But if you disturb him he'll be all snide, and will delay doing more tests on Kingdom hearts, reasoned another voice.

Why don't you just walk to his room and only go in if there is a light on, suggested another voice, which sounded a bit like Jack Sparrow.

"I must be going crazy" I muttered to myself.

Crazy or not, the last voice is right said the second voice.

I left my room after that, and headed towards my subordinate's room.

****

I walked down the corridors to Vexen's room in almost total darkness, except for the dim light, that was coming from my torch.

I froze when I suddenly realised that I wasn't alone. I could hear loud cursing, and slowly I was able to make out a faint light up ahead.

I decided to go and see who it was, and what they were doing.

I walked past Vexen's room and noticed that the light was on.

Hopefully it will be on for a bit longer I thought, gradually getting closer to the figure in the distance.

I had just walked past Saïx's room when the cursing came again, louder this time. I could just make out a few more silhouettes, a lot smaller than the one of my subordinate.

What is going on?

I walked on, wondering what I had come across.

A loose floor board gave my presence away, squeaking so loud I was surprised it hadn't woken any one up.

The figure turned out their light in a hurry and dived into Luxord's room, but not before I was able to make out spiky red hair, that could only belong to one nobody, and that was Axel.

The two small figures I had seen earlier turned out to be two of Marluxia's cats. They looked murderous, as they disappeared into Marluxia's room, which is opposite Luxord's.

I wondered slightly about what Axel was up to, the last time one of my subordinates was acting suspiciously the lab ended up getting destroyed.

I turned my light off, in hope that Axel would think I had gone and would come out, so I could find out what he was up to.

I didn't have to wait long before a faint light appeared from within Luxord's room. The light was shortly followed by Axel, slipping out of the room. He was carrying a pair of pink undies that were decorated with flowers and purple lace.

"VIII what are you doing?" I asked.

Axel spun around surprised, "ah, just..... ah playing hide and seek with,... ah one of Petal's cat's" Axel lied hiding the underwear behind his back.

"For some reason I don't believe you VIII. What are you really up to?"

Axel smirked, "Don't worry you'll find out tomorrow" Axel said smugly before disappearing through a portal.

He really needs to learn some respect for his Superiors, I thought crankily.

I went back to Vexen's room; thankfully the light was still on. When I stepped into IV's room I found him fast asleep in his bed.

Why is he sleeping when there is important test to be done!?Further, how is he able to sleep in the first place with that light on?

I brought up a portal, and left Vexen's room annoyed. I spent the rest of that night trying and failing to fall asleep. I was too busy wondering what Axel was up to.

****

I must have fallen asleep though, at some point during the night because I didn't wake up until lunch time.

I took a portal down to the kitchen; those scheduled on missions had already left.

Axel was huddled up in a group with Xigbar, Xaldin, Larxene and Roxas. VIII was showing them all something but I couldn't make out what it was. They all burst out in hysterics, laughing uncontrollably.

I could tell that something was going on.

I wonder if it has something to do with what Axel was doing last night?

I continued eating my breakfast; I was slightly interested in what my Subordinates were up to.

"That's so like Petals to have-" "Quiet" Xaldin hissed at Larxene, cutting her off.

What's so like Petals to have?

The group in the corner started to giggle and laugh again, Roxas was the only one who didn't seem very enthralled with the conversation.

A portal appeared in the room, and out stepped Marluxia.

The group fell silent at Marluxia's sudden appearance. Axel had a devilish grin on his face, which was very different to the weary look his best friend wore.

"Hey Petal's are you missing something?" Axel asked, grinning evilly.

"What are you on about VIII?" Marluxia asked dispassionately.

"Why these of course" Axel said holding up a pair of incredibly bright pink underwear.

The jocks were bright pink, with a flower pattern and bright purple lace on them. The jocks must have also had glitter on them because they glimmered where the light hit them.

XI looked the underwear up and down. "If you wish to borrow them Axel, you're asking the wrong person, because they aren't mine" Marluxia said bemused.

"Don't lie Petals, who else in the castle would have underwear like that?" snapped Larxene.

"I don't know Larxene, however I am curious as to how Axel came across the underwear in the first place" XI said calmly.

Every one fell silent and turned to look at Axel.

"Well Axel, were waiting" Marluxia said.

"I.. ah.... I found them in Marluxia's room" Axel said shiftily, "Last night" he added.

Hang on he was in Luxord's room last night, not Marluxia's, I thought, laughing at the realisation that they were in fact Luxord's and not Marluxia's.

The others didn't hear my quiet chuckle; they all turned and stared at Axel, Larxene laughing slightly.

"I'm sorry Axel, but you're not my type" Marluxia said smirking finally having the upper hand.

Axel glared at Marluxia. "Good because you're not my type either" VIII snapped.

Marluxia Laughed "Don't worry, I won't ask you about what you were doing in my room, I'll save you the embarrassment of saying it out loud" Marluxia smirked as he walked towards me.

Should I tell Axel that he wasn't in Marluxia's room? I wondered.

"I've completed my mission for today Superior" Marluxia said to me calmly, interrupting my thoughts.

"That was quick" I commented.

Marluxia went to leave, but stopped at the door. "By the way Axel, they would look lovely on you" he said maliciously.

Axel had had enough; he created a large fire in the palm of one of his hand, and dangled the underwear over it precariously.

"If you want to see these again Petals then you'll admit their yours and come and get them" Axel said threateningly.

Marluxia laughed, "Like I said before, they're not mine".

Axel glared at XI as he let the jocks drop into the flames. They crackled and burned in amongst the flames, smoke filled the room.

Marluxia smirked as he walked off.

Somehow I think it might be a little too late to tell Axel now.

"Deep down he's hurting" VIII said, reassuring himself.

"I don't know Axel, I think he was telling the truth" said Roxas.

"What, no, he was lying Rox, it was obvious" VIII said with false confidence.

I guess I may as well tell them now

"Actually XI was telling the truth" I told them imperturbably.

They all turned and stared at me.

"How do you know that superior? Are they really yours?" Larxene asked maliciously.

"No, he would know because he saw me coming out of Marluxia's room last night" Axel said quietly.

"Actually you were coming out of Luxord's room" I said amused.

"Hang on, that would mean" started Xigbar, smiling when he realised that they were in fact Luxord's.

They all started to laugh again, well all except for Roxas.

"But doesn't that mean you destroyed something of Luxord's for no reason" stated Roxas.

Axel paused, suddenly going sombre. "I guess it does Rox, I guess it does".

I think Luxord will be angry at Axel for awhile when he finds out what happened.

Luxord's misfortune has given me an idea though; I have decided to get Luxord another pair of pink, flowery underwear for Christmas. Hopefully he will like them.

I don't think I'll be able to sleep again tonight, Saïx will be back tomorrow, and I can't wait!

~~End of chapter 9~~

Hey

I'm sorry that this chapter kind of sucks!

I had heaps of trouble coming up with an idea for Luxord (which is why it's taken me so long to post this up) but I promise the next chapter will be better; I've had this really good idea!
