Xemnas stood
staring at the heart shaped moon, watching as the thousands of tiny
hearts floated upwards, completing his magnificent Kingdom Hearts. He
didn't turn at the sound of a portal opening behind him.
"Xemnas.
Is Kingdom Hearts ready?" The low voice of Number Seven, his
unofficial second in command, floated to his ears. He answered
without turning.
"Very soon."
"Then I can end
this charade?" Saix asked.
Now Xemnas turned, the pulls of
his coat clanking gently. He regarded Saix for a
moment.
"Indeed."
Saix smirked. "How I've waited
to hear that." He left through another portal to await the
keyblade bearer.
Xemnas returned to watching his precious Kingdom
Hearts. His mind drifted to Saix every now and then. He and Xemnas
were the last of the Organization thanks to Sora, the impudent,
over-cheerful brat that weilded the keyblade which was helping them
fulfill their goal yet eradicating them from their non-existence as
well.
He felt a small twinge of sorrow, not enough to count as
emotion, but it was there.
Kingdom Hearts was so close.
Xemnas
thought back to his first few days as a nobody. The lack of emotion.
The inability to care. It was surprising they hadn't all gone mad. He
laughed at the thought. His thoughts to changed to the first week
after Roxas had arrived and completed the Organization. The boy and
Axel were tearing through the castle after a laughing Demyx. He had
stolen their coats. They were both running through the corridor
shirtless. Xemnas smiled at the memory. Non-Existence had never been
boring with those three around.
Then there was that day, three
weeks ago in his office. Saix had reached for some papers on the desk
and brushed his hand against Xemnas'. He had blushed furiously at
that. Xemnas felt his heartbeat increase at the thought of
Saix.
Wait! His heartbeat?
Xemnas put a hand to his chest and
felt the faint thump of a beating heart.
Tears of happiness slid
down his bronze cheeks. He had to tell Siax.
His eyes widened in
horror.
Saix!
He had sent him to his death at the hands of the
keyblade bearer.
Xemnas opened a portal and dashed through it,
arriving to a scene of devastation. The keyblade bearer and his
friends were lying in pools of their own blood. They were dead.
Xemnas sighed with relief. Then he saw something that tugged so
strongly at his heart, it threatened to pull it from his chest.
Saix,
face down on the floor, with blood flowing around him, staining the
white tiles.
Xemnas' tears of happiness turned to tears of
despair. He hurried to the Diviner's side and turned him gently
over.
"Saix!"
"X-Xem-Xem-nas." A smile lit
up his blood stained face. "I did it s-sir. I w-won."
Xemnas'
tears slowed.
"Ssssh. Saix don't talk. We're going to fix you
up." Xemnas cooed.
Saix smiled again. A small knowing smile.
"We b-both know th-that isn't tr-ue." His body convulsed
violently and he coughed, blood trailing down his chin.
"No!
Saix, no! Don't do this! Not now! We're finally whole!" Xemnas'
tears were flowing strongly again.
Saix smiled again and placed a
hand on his heart.
"Saix please! Remember that day in the
office? What I promised?"
Saix smiled even more and moved his
hand to Xemnas' cheek. Xemnas leant down and placed a chaste kiss on
the Diviner's pale lips. As he pulled away, he stared into Saix's
beautiful, yellow eyes. They were beginning to glaze
over.
"X-Xemn-as?"
"Yes Saix?"
Saix
smiled again and placed his hand on Xemnas' chest.
"I c-can
f-eel your heart-beat."

O__O OH MERCIFUL GOD! WHAT HAVE I DONE?!
As far as the blood goes, I figured that if they got their hearts back and became human again, they would have a normal human death (Well as normal a death you can have when being bludgeoned to death with a giant key XD)
