A/N: I'd like to thank my girlfriend (because we actually role-played this part XD)

Axel POV

I stared down at Roxas. He looked as if he was having a fight inside himself and I couldn't do anything to help him. He was extremely pale and he was sweating like crazy. What was going on in that head of his?

Suddenly his eyes snapped open and color had returned to his face. He looked at me and smiled, touching my face gently. What the heck? Wasn't he just in pain?

"Roxas?" I asked, touching the hand that was on my cheek. He didn't speak. He sat up and pressed his lips against mine. Something was wrong. This wasn't right. This wasn't how Roxas kissed. It was different.

I gently pushed him away and looked at him. The look in his eyes was different. They looked dead and filled with hate. This wasn't Roxas. I frowned and glared at him. I knew who it was and there was no way I was going to let him stay in Roxas.

"Get the fuck out of my boyfriend," I said.

"W-What? What are you talking about Axel?" Roxas asked.

"I know this isn't Roxas. You can't fool me Saix."

"W-What? I'm not Saix! What's wrong with you Axel?"

"Shut up! Stop acting! I know it's you Saix!"

I tackled him and pinned his arms down on the bed, glaring down at him. I could see the anger in his eyes and the desire to hurt me.

"I know my boyfriend. This isn't him," I said. A dark laugh came from the little blond underneath me. It was so weird to hear that laugh come from Roxas.

"So you figured me out. You know your little blond well," Roxas said, smiling evilly, "So you know I'm Saix. So what? You can't do anything to me. If you hurt me then you hurt Roxas."

"Roxas' body can heal," I said. I couldn't believe that I was about to do this. I began to concentrate on the heat that was within my body. I could feel it slowly creep its way away from my heart and down my arms. Finally the heat gathered in my hands and began to heat up to a burning temperature.

I looked at Roxas' face. Pain was painted across his angelic face and I could see the tears brimming in his eyes. I increased the temperature and soon enough I heard a shriek escape Roxas' mouth. I hated myself. Even though it wasn't Roxas, it still sounded like him.

"Stop it Axel!" Roxas screamed. It's just Saix playing mind games. Don't listen, I said to myself, "Axel please stop! It hurts!"

"Shut up!" I shouted. The scream became louder when I turned up the heat, "Get out of Roxas now!"

I didn't have to repeat myself. Seconds later, Roxas' body became limp and his eyes closed. I immediately stopped burning him and lifted his head, gently brushing my hand against his cheek.

"Roxas?" I whispered. Those beautiful blue eyes opened and looked at me.

"Ah...ow...my wrists hurt," he said, "what happened? I thought Saix possessed me."

"I got him out. I'm sorry...I had to use my fire to drive him out."

"It's alright. I'll heal."

He smiled at me and gently brushed his lips against mine. I smiled at him and looked at his wrists. They were already beginning to heal.

"We have to tell the others about this," he said, "he might go after one of them. He already went after me and Zexion."

"I agree. Let's go to Zexion and Demyx's house first. Then we'll go tell Larxene and Xigbar," I said.

"Alright."

oOoOoOoOoOoOo

Roxas POV

I rubbed my wrists, trying to get them to heal faster. I was getting annoyed that Axel kept looking at them the whole care ride to Zexion and Demyx's house.

"Axel stop looking at my wrists!" I said finally when we were at the front door.

"I can't help it..." he said sadly.

"They will heal ok? Don't feel guilty. You did what you had to do to get Saix out of my body. So stop feeling bad."

"...fine."

He knocked on the door and waited for Zexion or Demyx to answer the door. Of course Zexion was the one who answered. He always answered the door for some strange reason.

"Oh hello," Zexion said, "I don't mean to be rude, but why are you guys here?"

"Can we come in?" Axel asked.

"Um...sure," Zexion replied, moving to the side so we could enter. We walked into the house and sat down on the couch. Zexion followed us and sat down in one of the armchairs next to mini-vex.

"What's up?" he asked.

"Well Saix just possessed Roxas. That's what's up," Axel said.

"He what?"

"He possessed Roxas. Obviously I got him out."

"And how did you do that?"

"...I hurt him with my fire."

"Oh...and that worked?"

"Obviously!"

"Alright just asking! Why are you telling me this anyway?"

"We're warning everyone. He's already possessed you and Roxas. We gotta tell the others about him."

"I agree. Do you know where Saix is now?"

"Unfortunately, no."

"Didn't think so."

Zexion looked to his left and smiled at mini-vex. The little blond was tugging on his sleeve and looking at him.

"Um Zexion?" Vexen asked.

"Yes?" Zexion asked.

"May I go upstairs to Demyx and Marluxia?"

"Sure."

Vexen got off the armchair and headed up the stairs, leaving the rest of us behind. I didn't like the look on Axels or Zexions face.

"Was I the only one who sensed that?" Zexion asked, looking at the stairs.

"No, I sensed it too," Axel said, looking at Zexion.

"We don't have proof that it is him yet."

"Then we'll wait and see what happens."

Did I miss something? What the heck were they talking about! I looked at the both of them, waiting for someone to explain what they were talking about. I didn't get that explanation. All I got was silence and then the sound of a scream.

That's when Zexion dashed up the stairs, Axel following him. What the hell just happened?

oOoOoOoOoOo

Zexion POV

I ran up the stairs the second I heard that scream. I knew that scream too well. It was Demyx. Axel and I had been correct with our assumption that Vexen had been possessed by Saix. How Saix managed to possess Vexen without us knowing, I'll never know.

I ran into the guest bedroom, the one that wasn't occupied by Vexen, and went over to Demyx. He was clawing at his throat, trying to gasp in air. I lifted his head and looked into his eyes.

"Demyx what's wrong?" I asked. He didn't answer me. I didn't expect him to. I turned to Axel, "go get Roxas."

"Alright," Axel said, running out of the room and down the stairs. I turned back to Demyx and brushed his hair out of his face.

"You're going to be ok Demyx. I promise," I said, tears brimming in my own eyes as I kissed his forehead. I gently rocked him and kept telling him he would be ok.

The sound of rushed footsteps echoed in my ears. Seconds later Roxas and Axel had come into the room. Roxas ran over to me and Demyx and placed his hands on Demyx's throat.

After a few seconds, Demyx gasped in air and began to steady his breaths. I sighed in relief and kissed Demyx's cheek, thanking Roxas as he went back over to Axel.

"What happened?" I asked Demyx once he had gotten his breathing steady and was sitting up.

"Vexen...h-he..." Demyx choked out, "he put his hands on my neck a-and I think he put ice in my wind pipe. I don't know. I just remember him putting his hands on my neck and then I couldn't breathe."

I rubbed his back comfortingly and held his hand. "Alright. That wasn't Vexen. Well it was, but not really. It was Saix. He possessed Vexen," I said.

"Why would he do that?" Demyx asked.

"I don't kn-...Demyx where's Marluxia?"

"What?"

"Where is Marluxia?"

"He should be on the bed."

I got up and walked over to the bed. He wasn't there. I looked around the room. He wasn't there. He wasn't anywhere. That could only mean one thing. Vexen took him.

"Roxas stay with Demyx. Axel come with me," I said, grabbing Axel's arm and dragging him out of the room with me. We went down the stairs and out the door.

"Vexen has Marluxia doesn't he?" Axel asked.

"Yes," I simply replied.

"We're going after him?"

"Of course."

Axel and I got into his car and began to drive towards where Vexen was. We didn't know where we were going. We were trusting our powers to guild us to him. We turned the corner and found them. I didn't expect Vexen to get far. He had short legs and he was carrying a two year old. Of course he wasn't going to go far.

"How are we going to get Saix out of him?" I asked Axel, "We can't use your fire. Vexen can't heal and he's ice. You might kill him if you use your fire."

"We won't hurt him physically then. Use your illusions to drive Saix out," Axel said. I nodded and got out of the car. I went up to Vexen, keeping a reasonable distance from him.

"Hello Zexion," Vexen said, smiling. That smile was creepy on a five year old, "if you plan on hurting me then it isn't going to work. Vexen can't heal."

"I'm highly aware of that Saix," I said, "I don't use physical violence. I use mental violence."

I closed my eyes, thinking of what would make Saix go insane and forming the pictures in my mind. Once I got the images in my head, I flicked my wrists and sent the illusions. I opened my eyes and looked at Vexen.

"Ah!" Vexen said, falling to his knees. That's when I knew that he got the illusions. This wasn't going to be a pretty sight, "Ah! D-Daddy stop it!"

"You can't fool me Saix. I know it's not Vexen," I said, sending more of the illusions.

"Ah! Daddy! Please stop it! Please!" Vexen screamed, tears pouring from his eyes. He was grabbing at his hair and curling into a ball on the ground, twitching furiously.

"Stop it! You can't fool me!" I had finally lost it. I was beyond angry at Saix. I sent more terrifying illusions towards him, never breaking eye contact with the little blond. More cries and screams came from him as his body thrashed around. I just stood there and watched, feeling disgusted with myself.

"DADDY! PLEASE STOP IT! PLEASE!" Vexen screamed. I sent a few more illusions towards him. That's when the screams stopped and everything became quiet. Vexen laid there with his eyes staring into space. He was motionless and breathing at a steady pace again.

I sighed in relief. I began to walk over to him. That's when I heard a dark laugh come from Vexen. I stopped in my tracks and looked at him. He got up and smiled evilly at me.

"You should've listened to poor little Vexen," he said.

"W-What?" I asked.

"I used your little 'son' as a mind shield."
"Y-You mean...t-that was..."

"Yes. That was really Vexen screaming for you to stop."

"Y-You used him as a mind shield?"

"Yes. I did. You drove your 'son' into insanity. Congratulations. Aren't you a terrific father?"

I stood there, shaking with anger for Saix and myself. How could I not know that it was Vexen that was asking me to stop? I looked at Vexen and began to conjure up more illusions.

"Shut the fuck up!" I shouted, flicking my wrists and sending more illusions towards him. I was one-hundred percent sure that it was Saix this time. I could tell by the way he was shrieking. If only I had realized that it was really Vexen screaming and not Saix, "Suffer you miserable mutt!"

I watched Vexen drop to his knees once again, pulling at his hair. It wasn't long before he flopped down onto the ground and his eyes closed. I ran over to him and picked him up, tears streaming down my face as I looked at his face.

"I'm sorry Vexen," I said, hugging him tightly, "I'm so sorry."

"Isn't that sweet," a voice said. I turned around quickly and saw a boy with blue hair and yellow eyes. I could only assume that it was Saix. He looked about 9 maybe 10 years old, "you're apologizing to someone whose mind is already gone. He won't hear you."

"You bastard. You did this," I said.

"No I believe you did. You're the one who kept sending illusions."

"You're the one who used his mind as a shield, you sick, demented, poor excuse for a human being!"

"I wouldn't talk if I wear you. I could easily kill you and Vexen."

"But you won't."

"And why is that?"

"Because I got a gun pointed to your head," Axel said, smirking. Saix turned his head slowly, glaring at Axel. Axel grabbed Saix's arms and put the handcuffs around his wrists, "you're under arrest for being a dickhead."

Saix growled as he was dragged away by Axel and forced into the car. I looked at Vexen and held him close to me as I walked to the car. I got into the passenger seat and cradled the small blond in my arms.

"He'll be fine," Axel said, putting Marluxia on his lap.

"No he won't," I said.

"What?"

"Saix...used his mind as a shield when I was sending illusions to him. Vexen got all of those illusions...i drove him into insanity..."

"...we'll figure out a way to get him back."

"I pray that we do...if we don't...i won't be able to live with myself."

"We will bud. I promise."
