Well. If this didn't take forever. It's a pure shame it takes me so long to update when the actual chapters take about twenty minutes to write.

Pandemonium Ensues
Chapter 13
Of Tension Reborn
Xemnas sighed. His Organization - filled much with idiots - were babbling away in front of him. Most of their talk was directed at Demyx, who was growing increasingly redder and more frightened by the minute. The only one who wasn't talking nonstop was Axel.
Who was still hanging by two of his belt loops, directly above Xemnas himself.
Raising his head to look up at the pyro - who promptly grinned cockily and waved back - Xemnas decided his newest orders.
Vexen was to work on returning Axel back his normal, woman-hungry self. Larxene was to stay and help him, as the surest way of knowing if Axel was back to normal would be if he hit on her - much to her dislike.
The others were ordered to leave him alone and search for Zexion, who, after Axel, was to be returned to normal.
He himself was going to have a nice relaxing nap in his room.
- - - - -
"Wow," Axel stated, staring wide-eyed at the needle in front of him. "That is huge."
Larxene snorted. "It's not that big, Axel," she said.
"Speak for yourself," Axel muttered. "You're not the one who has to be - Dammit! Vexen!"
Vexen smirked and carefully put the syringe back on his lab table. "It had to be done sometime, Axel," he said calmly, reaching for another syringe.
Axel glared at the back of Vexen's head. I swear... I'm going to hurt him so much when I get out of this damn binds.
Larxene, having now gotten bored, reached over to tighten the binds around Axel's waist.

Out in the halls, Marluxia and Roxas were doing just as the Superior had told them.
Staying away from him.
By playing Roxas's video games.
Sure, they were also supposed to be looking for Zexion, but the other members could handle that. Of course, they had also thought about the fact that the other members cared less about Zexion that they did, but they choose to ignore that. So, with no other answer, they had retired to Roxas's room to play video games.
Currently, they were arguing over which one of them had won the last fight they had fought on the game.
"I clearly won," Marluxia snarled.
"How?" Roxas asked, pointing his controller at the screen. "That seems to my character's name listed underneath 'winner'." He smirked as Marluxia only stared back at him.
As Marluxia opened his mouth to yell obsenities at Roxas, the door to Roxas's room slammed open.
"Where is Demyx?" Zexion's voice asked, causing both of the teenage member to stare up at him.
"...Good question..."
- - - - -
Demyx sat quietly in front of the fridge, eating a leftover piece of German chocolate cake.
He paused.
Sneezed.
Then blinked.
Tilting his head slightly, he shrugged and went back to eating. Someone's talking about me, he thought, giggling. He blinked again, coughed as he choked on a piece of cake, and reached for a bottle of water in the fridge.
- - - - -
Zexion stood in the doorway for about three minutes, watching Marluxia hit Roxas over the head with his controller, before strolling in and flopping on the bed.
Marluxia paused, controller above Roxas's head, and cocked an eyebrow. "Staying in here, are we?" he asked.
Zexion nodded. "I figure if I stay here long enough, Demyx might come by."
"Is that all you think about?" Marluxia snapped, smacking Roxas again.
"You seem to be rather angry lately," Zexion said, ignoring the question. "And I don't think Roxas is enjoying his current treatment."
Marluxia rolled his eyes and threw the controller at Roxas's wall. Roxas breathed a sigh of relief. "Thank you, Zexion," he muttered, standing and kicking Marluxia in the side.
Zexion sighed heavily as he watched the two start fighting once more. After a short while, Marluxia pushed Roxas away from him and started towards the open door. "Forget it," he snarled. "I'm going to my room. Larxene's probably stolen more of my underwear to use as shorts..."
As he strode out the door, Roxas called out to him, "Are you can even fit into your underwear now? Might have to borrow some of Demyx's!" A scythe was immidietely thrown back at him, hitting him in the head and throwing him backwards.
Zexion blinked, looked down at the now unconscious Roxas, and laid back on his bed, closing his eyes. Another nap would suit him just fine.
- - - - -
"Ooohhh, no... Hell no!"
"Shut up, Axel. It's not going to kill you."
"Like hell it won't! Look at the size of that thing! I can barely breathe just by looking at it!"
"Actually, that's probably because Larxene tightened your binds around your stomach."
"What!?"
"I was hoping it'd shut you up, but apparentely it only made your screaming worse." Larxene snickered at the glare Axel gave her as Vexen lowered his newest syringe down to Axel's throat.
Which, of course, made Axel jump.
"That thing has to go in my throat?"
"Yes, Axel," Vexen said calmly, trying to hold the pyro still. "Now, calm down."
"Calm down!? How the fuck can I calm down!" Axel screamed. "You're trying to kill me with that!"
Vexen rolled his eyes and took his hands off Axel. As soon as he did, a bolt of electricity shot through Axel's body, quieting him. He twitched - probably an effect from the shock - and wrenched his eyes closed as Vexen adminstered his fifth shot to Axel.
"I hate you," Axel muttered, his eyes still closed. "I fuckin' hate-"
Larxene raised an eyebrow as Axel's body - which had tense before - relaxed. "And that was...?"
"It put him to sleep so that we could perform the last part of his treatment," Vexen explained, reaching for a small bottle that held a single pill. The label on the outside read "For Axel only".
"And the last part is...?" Larxene asked as Vexen handed her the bottle. "What the hell am I supposed to do with this?"
"It's a suppository," Vexen answered, heading for the door. "I'm rather hungry, so you can handle it."
"A suppository!?" Larxene repeated, looking horrified. "Are they all suppositories?"
Vexen paused at his door. "No. Just Axel's," he answered.
"Well, why do I have to do it?"
Vexen snorted. "I had the slightest feeling that the Superior would choose you to help me - I don't exactly know why - so as the rest of you were talking back there, I created that. It contains the ingredients that forced the Superior to scream like he did, which is what the rest of the ones we treat shall be doing." He paused. "Although I highly doubt anyone will be doubt that we gave Axel the normal potion, the way he was screaming about the shots..."
"That still doesn't explain why I have to do it," Larxene spat, looking at the bottle in her hand in disgust.
"Oh. That," Vexen said. "As soon as you finish the job, Axel will awaken. If the treatment has gone well, then he will see you there, and most likely think you were doing something sexual to him." He pulled open his door and stepped outside. "Do you understand now, Larxene? It's the surest way to see if we've achieved our goal." With that, he closed the door to the lab, leaving Larxene alone.
"...Oh...fuck..." Larxene muttered, frowing in distaste.
- - - - -
Xemnas, sitting calmly in his room, turned his head to his door.
He raised an eyebrow and turned the volume on his television up louder, to drown on the excessively loud curses that had no doubt come from Larxene.
- - - - -
Larxene frowned, pulled the glove off her hand cautiously and reached forward to pull Axel's pants back up.
"Larxene..."
She froze, her eye twitching slightly.
"Not that I mind... But I'd like it if you would tell me before you decide to molest me."
Larxene smirked, zipped Axel's pants back up, and slammed a kunai - or two - into his legs. Smiling at his screams, she decided not to let a good thing go to waste and, seeing as Axel was tied down on a table in front of her and she had just done something she wished she never had to do again, gave Axel a shock. And another. And another. Each one with increasingly more power.
- - - - -
Up in his room, Xemnas turned the volume up louder to drown out Axel's earsplitting screams.

I don't know where the whole suppository thing came from.
But at least we all know Axel's back to normal now.
The whole thing with Demyx sneezing when someone was talking about him is something I picked up from reading to much manga. I guess it's a Japanese thing.
