Depression as the Days End

Time: 9:48 A.M Sunday

Location: The Shore (o.m.g.! A new area! XP)

Zexion's POV (something else that's new!)

I hate this island, I hate like rock…to freaking pointy…its stabbing my ass.

I shift to the side to avoid the uneven part of the large rock that I sit upon, and continue my list.

I hate that tree, I hate this wind…its moving my hair, I hate Demyx for abandoning me for Luxord, I hate that damned Superior…

Zexion sighed, and pushed his hair away from his eye…the non-covered-by-hair-constantly eye…

I'm being emo again. THERE WORLD! I admitted it! I AM emo! AND I'M DAMN PROUD OF IT. …that would have been more effective if I yelled it…

"…why am I at the shore?" I say to no one in particular. But really, its an excellent question. I remember falling asleep shortly after Saix left yesterday…then I woke up at some god awful hour…or something.

Damnit…no I cant even remember why the hell I came out here…but I'm sure it has something to do with Xemnas…oh yes! His little cooing noises as he and Saix had an early breakfast.

"Disgusting…" I mutter. And it is! Honestly, who wants to be around when your best friend is plastering a fake smile onto his cold, indifferent face just to make someone else happy. "Pathetic."

"Zexion…" I turn, although I already know that the heated voice belongs to non other than our very own fire wielder.

"Yes?" I ask in a sarcastic tone. Hell, I can only act pleasant for so long…and almost two whole weeks is a record for me. Gold stars for me.

"Your being unreasonable." Axel sighed.

Gasp. Axel is being serious. I didn't know he had it in him. "How so?"

"You were on Xemnas's side before. Why the sudden change? I though that, like me and Demyx, that you'd be happy for Saix and Xemnas." Axel explained. He's so much easier to be with without that little whore Roxas. (a/n- sorry to Roxas fans, I personally don't have a problem with him).

"I would be…" I let the sentence hang for a moment. "…if Saix isn't with him only for debt."

Axel's features contort to that of utter confusion. "What do you mean?"

"Saix said it himself. Maybe not in those words exactly, but…close to it. He told me that Xemnas deserved it…"

"Is that supposed to mean that Saix is thinking to highly of himself?"

"No, he meant that Xemnas has tried so hard, that Saix is even beginning to pity him."

Axel mouth resembled an 'o'.

"Oh your smart."

"WHAT!?"

"I cant believe we didn't just see it in the first place. Instead we kept trying to push them together, knowing damn well that Saix could never fully deny Xemnas anything. He's to damn loyal…believing Xemnas can give him back his life…"

Axel thought for a moment. "You've been thinking deeply about this…haven't you." Axel then gained a knowing smile. "Ya know Zexion, you could always try to…how you say, persuade, Saix to stop attempting something so meaningless. That is, of course, if you feel so strongly about it."

I gasped, choked, glared, and almost fell over. So much emotion. Gasp. How would I ever be able to control it all? (sarcasm). "W-what?! How could you even THINK something like that?!"

Axel snorted. "Like it isn't so obvious that its almost smacking everyone in the face yelling 'here I am, acknowledge me!'"

I glared. 'Who the hell does Axel think he is? I'm totally his superior and could kick his ass if I wanted to!…if only I brought my book of doom! WAHHHH! ( mental anguish tears).' (an- the fact that in the game that Axel killed Zexion is ignored by me…sorry if I ruined that for anyone).

"Its true Zexion. Admit it."

"Fine." I grumbled. Half of me cant believe that I just admitted to liking Saix to Axel ,and the other half is relieved to finally have the weight off my chest.

"Good. Now…your gonna need a lawyer…"

"A what?" I ask.

"Ya know, those big scary guys in the suits or leather, that solve problems harshly. You'll need one for dealing with Xemnas. And it wouldn't hurt to act nicer around Saix…or in a way that he is comfortable with you acting." Axel explained.

'Wait…a big scary guy? I KNOW SOMEONE THAT'S BIG AND SCARY!' "I know someone big and scary!" I shout, happy at myself for remembering my old friend. Laughing to myself, I pull out my cell phone that I recently remembered that I brought and dialed his number.

"What are you doing?" Axel asks. I hold up a finger, telling him to be silent.

"Yes hello! Its Zexion….yes I know, sorry I haven't called in awhile….look, I need a favor….I need you to help me out with a small problem….yes its Saix again but he isn't the problem per say this time….I know we had fun last time…yes its Xemnas." Axel almost screamed at the deep pitched squeal that emitted from my phone. "I knew you'd be happy….I'll expect to see you soon….yes…yes…okay bye." I close the phone and place it back into my pocket.

"Who was that?" Axel asked.

I grin evilly. "Oh, you'll find out soon. Very soon." I try my hand at an evil laugh, but yet, mine doesn't even compare to his…

XXXX 11:00 A.M XXXX

I stood in practically the center of the beach-y thing that were living at, waiting for him to arrive. He's late…and that is REALLY unusual. Axel was near-by, he wanted to know who I called. And most importantly, Saix and Xemnas were sitting on the steps to the house.

I grinned insanely, and had to fight the urge to hop, when a shadow loomed over me from above.

"Am I late?!" the shadow asked, in an obvious masked voice.

"Of course not." I answer. By now, attention was drawn to me. And it was awesome.

There was a sudden gust of wind, and a small storm of black feathers, and the shadow landed gracefully on the ground in front of me. (A/N-if you haven't guessed who it is by know…there is no hope for you).

Axel gasped and whimpered in fear as he tried to melt into a tree; Xemnas tried to hid behind Saix, while Saix merely gave a half smile and a wave and greeted him. "Hello Sephiroth."

The silver haired man smiled and returned the wave. "Good Day Saix." Xemnas gasped at the fact that the two were on first name, friendly terms. "Now, what is it that you would like Zexion?"

"WHAT?! You know him?!" Xemnas shrieked.

I laughed a laugh that I made up forever ago. The I'm-sounding-like-a-preppy-schoolgirl-cause-I'm-taking-the-advice-of-a-moron-A.K.A Axel. "Well course I do silly! He's on my speed dial." Sephiroth played his part and leisurely put an arm across my shoulders.

"Oh yes, we are quiet angsty in out group of three…but it seems that our third emo has disappeared on us." Sephiroth said casually.

"You mean Cloud?" Axel asked.

"WHERE!?"

"Sephiroth…calm down. He's not here. You can get him later." I say, patting him on the shoulder. Who knew that Sephiroth had a mental breakdown if he wasn't near Cloud? "No Axel, not Cloud."

"Leon?" Xemnas asked, clutching to Saïx's waist desperately.

"No, Squall was going to be, but then he had to get all 'happy'." I scoffed. If Leon had joined it would have been amazing…but NOO! He had to go run off with Cloud. The jerk.

"It was a disappointing loss for everyone." Sephiroth added. I nodded. "But no, our other member just so happens to be the rag doll you've been dragging around Xemnas."

Saix took this moment to realize that he was alive. "Me?"

"No shit Saix. Get your ass over here, were having a convention." Sephiroth demanded.

"NU!" Xemnas grabbed Saix around the waist again, and held him close. Saix had once again taken on the form of a lifeless rag doll. "You cant have my innocent angel."

Sephiroth blinked. "Innocent?" he turned to me. "He did not just say that." I nodded. This was going to be fun. "Saix? Innocent? That's like…saying Moogles are secretly evil and are hatching a plan this minute to over throw Radiant Garden and soon take over the world. One small lucid shard at a time."

XXXX Meanwhile XXXX

A red pompom bounced and shivered even thought it was not cold and there was no wind.

"Kupo? What's wrong?" one small Moogle named Monty asked.

The Moogle, Mog, shook his head, making his pompom bounce. "I don't know." he looked up from the scrolls of paper at his desk. "But somewhere…someone just found out our plan…and told some people."

Monty giggled. "That's silly, kupo! No one could suspect us to attempt a coup on Leon and his gang, and take over Radiant Garden."

Mog laughed at himself. "Of course, kupo. How silly of me! I mean, we look so innocent! No one could possibly suspect us to do anything like that!"

The two moogles laughed, echoing the small room with deep, rumbling roars, and the occasional 'kupo'.

XXXX Back to Island XXXX

I blinked. I could have sworn that I heard a rumor about that. "Hey Sephiroth…" I whisper.

"What?" he hissed, it seemed like I was ruining his fun.

"I heard that Moogles are trying to take over RG…" I answer in the same whispered voice as before.

He blinked…thought…and blinked again. "Alright let me take my last statement back. Saix is as innocent as me."

Xemnas shuddered. "Saix is not a monster…"

This time, Saix snorted with barely hidden laughter. "Have you seen me fight? Ever?"

Sephiroth chuckled. "I bet never, Moonshine." Saix glared at the nickname. "Which is kinda stupid. For all he knows you could be as worthless of a fighter as Demyx and he would've let you join only cause you made his hormones jump."

"Oh burn!" I smiled, raising my hand for a high-five.

"Only in your dreams, emo kid." Sephiroth deadpanned. I forgot Sephiroth loathes physical contact….unless of course it's a little more intimate.

"Want some ice for that burn!" I continue…completely conscious of my being a stupid idiot comebacks.

"Shut up…" Sephiroth warned.

"OH! That was major pwnage! You just got OWNED!"

"I said SHUT UP!" Sephiroth yelled, drawing masumane, and letting it rest on my collar bone.

"HA! Know who just got pwned!" Xemnas yelled.

"Are you learning NOTHING?!" Sephiroth shouted.

I remained calm even with Sephiroth's massive sword so close to my neck. Xemnas and him were currently in the middle of a verbal war. Saix on the other hand, looked out of it. Like he was on the edge of the world and watching everyone who stood in the middle. At a distance. Defiantly not the look for someone who was supposedly in a 'happy' relationship.

"What are you doing here anyway!?" Xemnas screamed.

Sephiroth opened his mouth to retaliate, but the stopped, blinked, backed down, and sheathed his sword. "Zexion…why am I here?"

I stand on my tip-toes to whisper into his ear. No one else needs to know my plans. "You're going to distract Xemnas while I try to steal Saix away…"

"Ohhhh….fun!" Sephiroth smirked. "Oh Man Sex!"

"Yes?"

"…you aren't supposed to answer to that…" Sephiroth explained, confused slightly. He shook his head. "Anyway, I have some pretty good stuff that you could…umm….use on Saix. Ya know he likes it kinky." Saix and Xemnas's eyes grew, at the same time, yet for different reasons.

"I do no-"

"ALRIGHT!" Xemnas jumped up, and ran up to Sephiroth who had already started leading him away.

"-not…" Saix finished. He slumped down on the steps in a huff. He was seriously pissed off, his eyes were expressing everything.

"Yo." I said simply, making sure it was safe to approach him.

"What?"

"How is you and…Xemnas?" I ask. Saix grunted. "Can I take that as a 'blah' or as a 'wonderful'?"

"I-….it isn't that its blah…but its not wonderful either." Saix sighed as I sat down next to him, listening intently. "I guess its okay. I feel…different when I'm with him…"he scoffed. "I'm sounding like Larxene…"

"No! No your not." I say, its nice when he opens up…even though he did start sounding like Larxene, it was nice to hear him be so…not anti-social. "Different how?" I ask.

"I'm not sure. I think….I think Axel described it best…" and at this point, I remember that Axel was still behind the tree, when someone giggled quietly behind one.

"Axel." I growled, for Saix was to….weird to do so at the moment. I swear this island is making everyone insane.

"Yes?" he asks as he spins out from behind the tree.

"Why are you still here?"

"I have not yet been asked to leave."

"Then leave."

"As you wish my oh-so-angry friend." Axel waves in what can only be called a Cup wave. And although it sounds weird, it was what it looked like. He cupped the air in one hand and rocked it back and forth gently.

"That was weird." Saix stats the obvious.

"This island is making you less observant. You're usually noticing every little thing, and you should have noticed Axel sooner, same with Sephiroth." Saix shrugged. "Fine, what do you mean the Axel described it best?"

"Well…how he feels when he's with Roxas…I, feel the same with Xemnas." Saix finished awkwardly, turning away from me to blush off at the ocean.

I felt as if my imaginary heart was just torn into little bite sized pieces and fed to a Shadow Heartless….again.

"B-but I thought, that you didn't like him."

"I don't know! Do you understand emotions that were long forgotten!? I don't, and unless you can tell me what I feel then shut up." he yells. I wanted nothing more than to shrink into the ground at that moment. "I didn't think so." he hissed, and began to walk away.

"Wait!" I called out. I don't know why, but it felt as if my highly logical brain was on the fritz. I couldn't understand what was going on, or what I was doing until I felt Saïx's cool lips against my own.

I did the first thing I could think of, and that was to slowly massage his lips with my own. But Saix was unresponsive. He was either frozen with shock, or letting his anger boil to blasting point in which case he would lash out at me.

I slowly back away, a slight blush on my usually pale face, as I stared at the sand with no interest. My life felt like it was over as I awaited Saix to speak.

"Why?" his voice, filled with malice asked.

I was shocked out of my revere, and answered. "I-I don't know…"

"Liar." Why was he speaking in one worded…words?

I looked up at his face. It was the most impassive it had been since we had gotten on this god forsaken island.

"So what if I am?" I ask. Bringing back my natural attitude.

"Why? What is so important that you need to lye to me?"

"Because!" I yelled, actually struggling for words. God I would give anything to have the living dictionary, A.K.A Vexen, here to help me out. "Because…."

"Yes?" Oh, so he was going to go back to on worded sentences now?

"I…uh…I-"

"Zexion you have been lying this whole time. I've only met Sephiroth once, this whole thing was made up off the top of your head. I believe that you and Sephiroth know each other from…something…but stay out of my life. You're a good friend and that's it. Nothing more." Saix hissed.

This made me feel more broken. I was a fool to think that this would work. It should have been obvious. "I'm…sorry."

Saix snorted.

"I just wanted you to know. That's all." I said, looking up into Saïx's golden orbs, that seemed to glow.

I turned and walked into the house, ready to stay locked up within the cabin until we are going home, Tuesday morning.

"Zexion." I turned against my will. Saïx's voice had sounded softer, which urged my to acknowledge him. "I will forget that ever happened." I nodded. "but I will put it to the side. I will not loose you as a friend, Zexion." Saix turned and smiled slightly at me.

I returned his with an equally sad smile. "Don't make a fool of yourself."

"Take your own advice." Saix said simply, before he turned and walked away. Going to find Xemnas no doubt.

I sighed. 'I cant peruse him like Xemnas had…it would only worsen them…'

I smile sadly to myself. "Good luck, Saix…"

XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX

A/N- …I almost have no comment except that I was THIS CLOSE! (holds fingers up in an inch apart) in twisting this all around and turning it into a Zexion x Saix fic. Yet, I did not. I am sorry about the 'seriousness'-ish of the beginning of the chapter, and for randomly adding Sephiroth...but he's still sexy!

I am sorry for updating so late…I had a lack of inspiration, and well…a small swell of depression because I cannot go to the Anime Convention on Sunday…stupid friends…(mentally stabs them all).

No more Zexion POVs or things that focus on Zexion. Next chapter is the last…its also kinda the epilogue so it will be entirely focused on Saix and Xemnas. And….Xemnas will…maybe…stop acting like a total idiot. So if ANYONE has ANY questions ask them now, and I will answer them in the next chapter, or I'll just PM ya back…depends…Review please!
