Loyal Hound Ep. 11

False Emotions, True Love

I love you, Xemnas!

"Rexoz, I…" said Xemnas as he cast curaga on her. They were back at the Castle That Never Was and Rexoz was in her room fast asleep while Xemnas was healing her.

"I'm so sorry, Rexoz," Xemnas whispered.

"Xemnas I-," said Axel.

"Leave, Axel," said Xemnas.

"Fine, just...make sure she's alright," said Axel. Xemnas nodded. Only Xemnas knew about Rexoz's injury and the rest of the Organization was concerned minus Larxene of course. Xemnas refused to speak of it but he planned to tell everyone but did not even bother to expect Rexoz to forgive him. Xemnas hurt the one he loved and felt…guilt?

"No, I don't feel. I can't even truly love her…" Xemnas said to himself. Just then Rexoz began to wake up and smiled upon seeing Xemnas but that smile soon became a frown when she saw pain in Xemnas's eyes.

"I…I don't expect you to forgive me," said Xemnas.

"But I don't blame you at all," said Rexoz.

"But I hurt you and could've killed you, Rexoz. I wouldn't have been able to live with myself," Xemnas said.

"But you didn't and I don't think you would have gone through with it even if I hadn't begged you to come to your senses," said Rexoz.

"Rexoz, don't make excuses for me," Xemnas said. Rexoz went up to him and hugged him tightly.

"But I love you and care about even if Nobodies can't feel anything," said Rexoz.

"I know you do, and I feel the same. I've never felt this before. Ever. And what of Saix?" said Xemnas.

"Saix ddn't feel the same way and would never allow it. I…told him years ago actually. Besides, I love you no matter what! I've let go of my feelings for Saix the moment I knew it was you I really wanted, trust me," said Rexoz.

"I do trust you, Rexoz. There's also something I should tell you," said Xemnas.

"Yes?" asked Rexoz.

"That day I took your heart was when I truly felt emotion. Your heart is unique and without its purity, Kingdom Hearts would be impossible to build. A heart like yours is very rare and when Kingdom Hearts is completed, we can have our hearts back and our love will be real. Reaching into your heart allowed me to feel love and we'll be together for the remainder of our lives with our hearts," said Xemnas.

"I can't wait until then, Xemnas. I want you and all of our friends to be happy and we can all have hearts to feel that happiness. We can be together," said Rexoz.

"Together for all time," said Xemnas. Rexoz grinned as did Xemnas. He put his forehead against hers and held her tight for several minutes.

"You should get some rest, Rexoz. I have to explain to everyone what happened since they're all wondering why you're injured," said Xemnas.

"Please, don't tell them! Please, lie about it," said Rexoz.

"Then it'll be a secret," said Xemnas somberly.
