-Xigbar-
Roxas
Saix was anything but willing to let Xigbar mess with the mission schedule. But after reasoning with the anal nobody he was able to change a few of the missions and switch them around. Out of the average five missions he got during the week, only one of them would require him to fight. It wasn't all too fair for the other members that had to fight, especially since half of them were at Castle Oblivion, but Xigbar figured this could be a win-win situation for him in the end, after all; Roxas could use the extra missions.
And before long Xigbar could see Roxas improving by the day. The boy was getting stronger alright, and Xigbar could begin to see the resemblance in him from the boy he saw years ago. And as the days passed by he could begin to see why Xemnas had created Xion. Roxas was becoming the warrior he once was, and Xion was there to replace him when he no longer was the nobody everyone though him to be. Or at least, that's what he thought-Xemnas was far too cryptic and would never be so willing to let him into his secrets.
He did enjoy watching Roxas. It was as if he wasn't even watching a nobody, but a normal human. Roxas was flawed, but not the same as he was. If Xemnas could blab about a strong heart, he could definitely use Roxas as an excuse. The boy smiled and he was really happy, and when Axel left for the Castle he frowned and became really upset.
Really upset. It actually bothered him.
"Could it be that he might actually have a heart," Xigbar asked.
Xemnas looked up the bright white ceiling and closed his eyes. There was a long pause.
"I've never learned their fate," he muttered. He opened his eyes and looked down to Xigbar. "I could not be so sure whether he does or does not contain a heart."
"But if he came from Sora," Xigbar said, "yet still be the same kid as before…surely he must have something inside of him?" Xigbar chuckled. "After all, coming from two people; he sure to have something inside of him."
"Coming from two," Xemnas said. "He could still have nothing, because even we came from something, and yet we became nothing in the end. Roxas may be the same…"
Xigbar groaned. Would it kill Xemnas to make sense? It seemed so plausible. Roxas had much more going for him than the average nobody.
Xemnas was just such a pain…
But as Xigbar was about to say something a portal opened on the seventh thrown, and from it appeared Saix. Both Xigbar and Xemnas looked down to see the blue haired berserker.
"Speak," Xemnas said.
"I've received word of the losses at Castle Oblivion," Saix said, looking up to Xemnas.
Xigbar glanced up at his superior. If it were anyone else he would have told them to leave, but because it was Saix he would be the one to be ignored. Xigbar looked down and sneered. What could possibly be that important? He had heard there was a loss, but Xigbar hardly considered it to be a big deal. One less member made no difference to him.
"And what are they," Xemnas asked.
Saix frowned.
"I've been to the castle," he said solemnly, "and there seems to be no survivors."
Xigbar watched as Xemnas' demeanor seemed to subtly fall apart. That overconfident look on his face looked just a bit worried after hearing he had lost several members, each one a key to his future success. Losing Vexen, Lexaeus and Zexion would be a huge hit in the long run. What could have possibly happened that could have lead to such a thing?
"And Namine," Xemnas asked.
"Nowhere to be found," Saix said. "From what I've seen, Sora has destroyed all traces of our kind."
"Just Sora," Xemnas asked, raising an eyebrow.
"It appears so," Saix said. "I've no proof there were any others in the castle. It would have to have been the boy."
"I see," Xemnas muttered. He looked back to Saix. "Very well; inform the other members as soon as you can."
"Wait," Xigbar said, raising himself up a bit, "you expect me to believe some dumb kid took down all six of our members? And three of them were-"
"What are you suggestion," Saix asked. "There are no other possible solutions."
"Seems a bit odd, that's all," Xigbar said. "Xemnas fought this kid before, and if I do recall he said the kid's no big deal…"
"A lot can change in a month," Saix said. "Perhaps after entering the realm of darkness the boy's learned that something like us should be treated more seriously."
"Number VII, II," Xemnas beamed.
Both nobodies went silent.
"We will not bicker over this, "Xemnas said, "with progress comes loses. What happened at Castle Oblivion was devastating, but will not affect us in the long run. We will not worry over what acts Sora committed at the castle."
Xigbar sighed. Xemnas had better things to worry about alright. He was too busy worrying about his older relationships…it was almost as if his goal to gather hearts wasn't all there.
"What I need to know was whether the room was discovered," Xemnas said.
Bingo.
"I've looked around," Saix said. "And I will be willing to explain my findings to you as soon as possible-at your convenience."
"Very well," Xemnas said. "Number II."
"Let me guess," Xigbar said, "you need me to leave?" Xigbar laughed a bit. "Last thing you want is for me to know too much…"
"I did not say that," Xemnas said. He looked over to Saix. "Have you already prepared a list of tomorrows missions?"
"I have," Saix said, "will you need me to rearrange anything, considering our losses?"
Xemnas shook his head. "We'll worry over that later on…Xion and Roxas have helped us gather the hearts we needed…it's as if we're right on schedule.'
"Interesting thing to say considering we've never had an actual schedule before them," Xigbar commented.
"You ought to leave Number II," Saix said in a warning tone.
"You're not in the position to say that," Xigbar said hastily. "But I digress…I know when I'm not wanted, and I'll leave you two alone…"
"Be sure to not be late for your mission tomorrow," Saix said, "especially considering I had to "rearrange" it for your liking."
Xigbar would have teleported right over to Saix and would have shown him a piece of his mind if it were not for the fact that Xemnas could care less about who gets the mission done. For that he was a bit thankful, so long as the mission gets done…but it was pretty low of Saix to go and point out that he had messed with the mission list.
Xigbar pasted a smile on his face. A fake smile. An obvious fake smile.
"Really," Xigbar said. "And what makes this mission so special that you had to go out and announce it?"
Saix kept his strict and stoic posture up, his yellow eyes glaring silently at Xigbar for a few stricken moments before finally answering.
"You have a mission to a new world tomorrow, and it's with Number XIII."
There really is something wrong with this human mind. He could hardly think of moments within this un-life that had ever brought him some sense of real joy and excitement. There were the few with Demyx, those moments where he had thought to himself and figured that trying to love Demyx would be the right thing to do, and from there a sense of acceptance grew within him and something close to happiness and tranquility was created. But after hearing what Saix had said last night seemed to linger on, the anticipation only growing as time dragged on. Xigbar found himself watching and waiting for the morning and for Saix to go out and assign missions for all the members. And it didn't seem to bother him one bit, not even when he saw Luxord talk with Demyx, or when he was given a look from the blonde later on. It didn't bother him that Axel was long gone, or that he would have a shit load of missions to do later on, none of it really mattered at all to him. Just the very thought of him with Roxas brought some carnal instinct alive…and it was taking over as every second eased forward.
"Hurry Roxas," Demyx said cheerfully.
Xigbar looked over from his seat and saw Demyx talking with the boy.
"Did you here," Demyx said, "turns out everyone at Castle Oblivion kicked the bucket."
"What," Roxas said. The boy looked upset. Understandable.
"Yep," Demyx said. "Boy, I sure was lucky to not have been picked out right?"
Xigbar watched as Roxas ran past the older nobody and over to Saix. Xigbar couldn't help but want to break out into laughter. There were so many reasons to. Roxas looked so distressed. It almost seemed real. It was real, wasn't it?
"Messing with him is gonna be a blast," Xigbar chuckled, slowly getting up from his seat and making his way over to the blonde. He was actually going to enjoy today's mission.
I originally planned for the story to become much darker from here on end. Now, I know there isn't a lot of XigDem right now, and although it does seem like there is more going on with Roxas, I do plan on keeping the main pairing...main. It's important to remember that the main character is xigbar, and that whatever goes on in his everchanging mind will be the topic. There will be more scenes with Demyx and Xigbar together, and there probably will be a sex scene later on too. First I just have to get the story a lot more darker.
Later
