Note: I don't own Kingdom Hearts, blah blah blah. You know, the usual.
A knock at the door.
"Come in, VI."
Zexion opened the door leading to Xemnas' room, with a rather venomous glare on his face.
"Why are you here, Zexion? I'm busy."
"You're always too busy for me," Zexion murmured. He stepped closer in on Xemnas, who was reading a book and scribbling some things on his desk.
"You didn't answer my question. Why are you here, VI?" Xemnas demanded. He kept his voice calm and collected while his anger was bottling up.
"Why is it that in your world, I don't even exist?" The younger man's hands turned into fists. "Why is it that although I am among the 'original six' I'm given the respect of the imaginary recruit number XIV?"
"Whatever do you mean?"
"You'd think that you'd give me more respect, considering the past. You haven't forgotten. His memories are your memories."
"Haven't forgotten what exactly?"
"In a former life, you and I were close. Closer than you and Saïx are now. Why is it that now, although you and I, we're the same people, the same two who loved, why have we broken apart?" Zexion's words hurt himself, but he wouldn't let Xemnas know that anytime soon.
"I chose to forget. That was the worst mistake of my life."
"Then why are you repeating it with Saïx?"
Xemnas chuckled. "If we cannot feel, surely I cannot feel regret for repeating it. Surely if we fall, just as Xehanort and young Ienzo did, surely I will not experience the pain I felt then."
"We never broke our bond. There was no pain. It never ended, until now."
"Don't tell me you still feel our 'bond,' VI." Xemnas' eyes narrowed.
Zexion could feel something tearing away at him, ripping him inside and out, but pushed his pain away. "No, I don't feel anything."
A/N: wow, I can't believe I wrote anything for this couple. I wanted an excuse to wrtie Xehanort x Ienzo, even if it was only implied. Review please! Cookies will be given in mass amounts assuming you do.
