Razori-chan: You've reviewed for both my KH stories. Thank you! I'm glad you feel the same about Saix's parents.
Bluenette Diviner: Thank you! Hm, is Xaldin straight? I don't know. I guess depends on which is funnier. What do you think? Would it be more enjoyable for the story if he were gay or straight.
K-Gforever: -groans- You've caught another of my typos. Thank you!!! I'll try very hard this time.

Thanks to all the people who encouraged my natural randomness. There isn't much in this chapter, but there is some. As well as a special treat! And no, I don't mean sweets. They give you cavities! (Randomness is back!!!) And the fourth wall crumbles but it doesn't fall.

The street lay deserted as Zexion left Axel's house. The gang had decided to go there after leaving the pool. A strong gust of wind blew and Zexion crossed his arms in front of his chest as he walked along the sidewalk, the pale full moon, his only source of light. A crash like a bottle breaking sounded behind him and he looked back. Seeing nothing, he dismissed it as a stray cat or dog and walked on his way. He passed by a darkened alley but didn't stop. He had seen enough horror movies to know that only stupid people went in to dark alleys at night, alone. Across the street, he saw a motorcycle parked outside of a pub. Zexion moved on, away from the light. A rustle of leaves and he stopped, again. He walked on, growing nervous as he went. He heard footsteps and whirled around. Still, he saw nothing.
" Demyx?" He called hesitantly, He didn't receive an answer. His heart beat quickened as he continued on his way. He could see lights up ahead and recognized Saix's house. Another rustle and footsteps behind him made him sprint for the blue painted door. He rang the doorbell as he stood on the stoop breathing quickly. The door opened revealing, not Saix or even one of his family but a grinning, Seifer.
" Hello there, homo. I thought you'd be by." He said evilly.
" Seifer? Who is it?" A woman called from inside. Seifer pushed Zexion out of the doorway and closed the door behind him. He snapped his fingers and the bushes rustled around the house. Zexion's gray eyes widened as he saw the rest of Seifer's gang emerge from the foliage.
" Take care of him, boys." Seifer said with a laugh, which was echoed by his gang. Someone grabbed Zexion from behind and pulled him off the stoop. He grunted in pain when he was punched in the face. He fell to his knees holding his nose, only to be kicked. He fell over and was kicked repeatedly in the back, stomach and sides. He didn't know how long he was attacked, all he knew was that it felt like forever. Then Hell lifted and his attackers suddenly stopped. They left him there, in pain, barely breathing. He, finally and thankfully in his opinion, fainted. Saix found him when he went out for a morning run. He liked running on Sundays since he didn't have much to do and everyone else usually had other plans.
" Shit, Zexion, what happened to you?" Saix asked as he ran over to the smaller boy. Zexion didn't answer. Saix gently picked him up, thankful he was so light and carried him into his house then placed him on the couch. " Mom, call 911!" He yelled then cursed, remembering his parents had left earlier the previous afternoon. Saix pulled out his cell phone and dialed 911.
" Hello? Yes, I found my friend passed out on my front lawn. No, he wasn't drunk. There's dry blood on his face. Any bruises? I don't know, I'll check." Saix said into the phone. He gently lifted Zexion's shirt and saw the black and blue marks on his pale skin. His eyes widened. " Yeah, he has some big bruises. Yeah. Well, no duh, he needs to get to the hospital. How long is it going to take you to get here?" He frowned. " What?! What do you mean you sent them to Agrabah? That's like 2 hours away. Why would you send both ambulances there? You know what, I don't care. I'm bringing my friend there and you better admit him." He snarled into the phone before hanging up. He went into the kitchen and wet some washcloths while he called Axel.
" Axel?"
" Yeah, who's this?" Axel mumbled into the phone.
"It's Saix."
" Fuck you, Saix. I'm trying to sleep!" The red head said angrily into the phone.
"Yeah, I'm sorry for waking you up again but you gotta get over here and bring your car." Saix said.
"Why?"
"Because I just found Zexion on my front lawn. He's hurt pretty badly and the hospital's full of asses and won't send an ambulance. So get over here, now." After hanging up, Saix turned back to Zexion and worked on cleaning the blood off his face. Then he called Xemnas.
" Hey." Xemnas answered.
" Xemnas, I need you to come over to my house."
" uh, Saix, I'm kind of in the middle of something."
" What?!"
" Xaldin, no, you can't chase Xehanort into that suspiciously dark alley. I promised my dad we'd bring him home, alive." Xemnas called to Xaldin. He turned back to the phone. "Oh, sorry, what were you saying? Oh yeah, you wanted me to come over to your house."
" Where are you?"
" Oblivion City." Xemnas answered calmly.
"That's three hours away!"
" Yeah, and?"
" I need you here." Saix said urgently.
" Why? Saix, what's wrong?" Xemnas asked sounding concerned.
" I think Zexion was attacked." Saix said worriedly. There was silence on the other line. " Xemnas?"
" That bastard!" Xemnas growled.
" What? Who?"
" Seifer. He probably did it."
" How? He was only in my house with his mom. After that they left, I watched them drive away.. Wait a minute, now I remember, someone rang the doorbell and Seifer answered it. It could have been Zexion coming over to my house and he met Seifer.. Oh gods I can't believe he would do this, it hasn't even been a day." Saix groaned.
" Okay, Saix, calm down. Tend to Zexion. Did you call Axel?" Xemnas asked soothingly.
" Yeah."
" Good then make sure he stopped bleeding and make him as comfortable as possible. I'll call the others and tell them to meet you guys at the hospital, okay?"
" Yeah, thanks Xemnas."
" Of course. Bye."
" Bye." Saix hung up feeling a little better and went back to Zexion. He took the boy's shirt off and dabbed gently at the bruises. Zexion moaned in pain and tried to move but that only caused more pain. The door bell rang repeatedly and Saix got up to answer it, to reveal Axel and Demyx, both looking upset. Axel walked in and saw Zexion laying on the couch. Demyx let out a cry and flew to the smaller boy's side.
" Zexy, are you okay?" He asked worriedly. Zexion opened an eye and turned his head to Demyx.
" Dem." He whispered.
" Yes, Zexy, it's me. Where are you hurting?" He asked grasping one of Zexion's hands.
" Water." Zexion rasped. Demyx nodded his head and grabbed the glass of water Saix handed him. The water had been poured ahead of time. Zexion drank greedily and soon drained the glass. Saix got some blankets from the closet and put them in the back of Axel's car. Axel and Demyx then helped carry Zexion to Axel's jeep. Demyx sat in the back with Zexion while Saix and Axel sat in the front. The car was silent, save for Demyx's assuring whispers to Zexion that everything was going to be fine.
" So do you know who did it?" Axel asked after a while. Saix nodded, his eyes staying on the road in front of him.
" Seifer." He spat as if the very name was venom. Axel shuddered, after seeing the look of pure hatred in Saix's gold eyes. The car fell silent and soon they got to the hospital. By that time, Zexion was fully awake and even tried walking but stumbled and Demyx insisted on carrying him. The hospital staff admitted the small boy quickly after nearly getting shouted at by Saix and that left Axel, Demyx and Saix to wait in the waiting room. Axel stepped out for a 'bit of fresh air' but actually pulled out his cell phone.
" Hello?" Xemnas said in a bored tone.
" Xemnas! It's Axel, where are you?"
" I'm in Oblivion City. Why?"
" Did you hear about Zexion?
" Yeah." Xemnas said simply.
" Then, are you coming?"
" Why? You guys took him to the hospital, right?"
" Yeah, but we need you here!"
" Why?"
" Because you're the only one who can calm Saix down. No one not even Lexeaus can fight him when he gets going. If you don't stop him, he could kill Seifer."
" I'm not seeing how that's bad."
" Saix could go to jail. You know he's 18 if he goes to jail, he won't go to juvie." Axel warned.
" I know. Look, Axel, I'm three hours away."
" So? Come now. I'm sure he'll stay if he knows you're coming." Axel retorted. Xemnas sighed and pulled the phone away to think before answering again.
" Look, Axel, I'll call you back, okay?"
" Ok-" Axel began when Xemnas hung up. He sighed and ran a hair through his gray hair.
" Who was that?" Xigbar asked before taking a bite out of a Butterfinger in his hand.
" Axel. He wants me to come up there to stop Saix from killing his friend because he hurt Zexion." Xemnas explained.
" So why aren't you going?" Xaldin asked after taking a drink from a water bottle.
" I don't understand how I'm supposed to stop Saix if I want to kill Seifer myself." Xemnas said explained.
" What I don't understand is why your boyfriend needs you to control him. Why can't the others do it?" Xigbar asked with a frown. Xemnas shrugged.
" I don't know. I guess because Axel can stop Saix but he only can to a certain extent." Xemnas said simply.
" Well, then let's go." Xaldin said as he stood up and threw his bottle into a nearby trash can.
" Go? Where?" Xemnas asked looking confused.
" Back to Twilight Town." Xaldin answered. " Hey, Norty, stop flirting and get your ass over here." He called. Xehanort turned away from a nicely-tanned blond boy.
" See you, Tidus. Make sure you call me." He yelled with a flirtatious wave of his hand. Xemnas rolled his eyes and faced Xaldin.
" So you guys are coming?" He asked. Xaldin nodded his hand.
" Yeah, we just stopped down here to get our suitcases. We plan to sleep at our cousins' houses, anyway." He explained. Xemnas nodded and they got back in the car. Xemnas called Axel back as they drove.
" Hello?" Axel answered.
" Hey, Axel, it's Xemnas."
" Oh." Axel said angrily.
" Sorry, I hung up on you like that. I'll be there as soon as I can, okay?"
" Great!" Axel said happily.
" Yeah, and tell Saix to stay there."
" Okay, I'll pass the message on."
" Great and call me if the doctors say anything about Zexion."
" Roger, over and out." Axel said and hung up.
He turned to Demyx and Saix with a smile.
" That was Xemnas. He says he's coming." He said looking more at Saix then Demyx. Saix stiffened.
" Why did you call him?" Saix asked.
" You know why. He said to tell you not to leave." Axel said with a frown.
" What is he? My nanny?" Saix asked with a scowl.
" No, but he is the only one of us who can stop you from making a big mistake. You remember last year, don't you?" Axel asked as he stood up. Saix didn't answer. " Don't you?" Axel exclaimed.
" Axel, calm down. You know he remembers, he just doesn't want to talk about it." Demyx said gently as he pushed Axel back down. Axel shook his head angrily and looked out the window.
By the time the doctor came out, the waiting room was a little more full. The rest of the gang, save Xemnas, Xigbar and Xaldin, had arrived and were now clustered around a small TV. A doctor walked over to Vexen who was crying on Lexeaus' shoulder.
" Ma'am, your boyfriend is going to be okay." He said gently tapping Vexen on the shoulder. Vexen looked up startled.
" Boyfriend? I don't have a boyfriend." He exclaimed. The doctor looked confused.
" I'm sorry, ma'am, when I saw you crying I thought it may have been because of the patient." The doctor said. Behind him, Axel and Demyx were laughing quietly and even Saix had a smile on his face.
" Ma'am? I'm not a woman, I'm a man." Vexen said angrily. The doctor blushed.
" I'm sorry, ma'am, I mean sir, sir, but are you related to a Mr. Zexion?" The doctor asked trying to cover up his mistake. By this time, Axel was leaning over as he tried to stifle his laughter.
" Zexion? Yes, he's my friend. What about him?" Vexen asked testily.
" He's doing fine. You'll be free to see him in a few minutes." The doctor informed and then quickly walked away.
" Just what are you three smiling at?" Vexen asked turning his green-eyed gaze on Axel, Demyx and Saix.
" What do you think?" Larxene asked from the other side of Lexeaus. " The doctor called you 'ma'am', like three times." She said with a grin.
" Hey, Vexen, why were you crying?" Saix asked. Vexen pointed to the TV.
" Maria just found out she's having a baby by Carlos even though Diego is her husband. Not only that, but Catalina just killed Roberto for cheating on her." Vexen explained. Larxene raised an eyebrow.
" How can you understand that? There aren't any subtitles and you don't speak Spanish." Larxene asked. Vexen shrugged.
" You don't need subtitles to understand true drama." He said dramatically.
" Yeah." Larxene said slowly. "Okay, Vexen's officially come out of the closet." She announced with a roll of her eyes. Saix stood up to join in a game of Blackjack, Luxord was starting with Roxas and Marluxia. Just then the hospital doors slid open to reveal a soaking wet Xehanort. Xemnas came after him, holding an umbrella, with Xaldin and Xigbar coming behind him.
" It's not fair how you hogged the umbrella." Xehanort whined angrily. Xemnas shrugged.
" It's not my fault you got out the car first." He snorted.
" Yes, it is your fault. You pushed me!" Xehanort exclaimed.
" Oops! How clumsy of me. I really should be more careful." Xemnas said sarcastically as he shook his umbrella out. He then walked over to Axel and sat down between the red head and Demyx.
" Hey, Xemnas. Long time no see." Demyx said with a grin.
" Hey, Demyx. How's Zexion?" Xemnas said with a nod as Saix walked back over
" The doctor told Miss Vexen that he'll be fine." Demyx answered making Axel smile.
" Miss Vexen?" Xemnas asked looking confused.
" Yeah, the doctor thought Vexen was a woman." Axel explained.
" How did he do that?" Xemnas asked.
" Vexen was crying over a Spanish soap opera and I guess, the doctor assumed since he was the only one crying that he had to be Zexion's girlfriend." Axel said with snicker. Xemnas nodded and smiled. Axel got up and sat on the other side of Demyx so Saix could sit next to Xemnas.
" How are you feeling?" Xemnas asked gently. Saix sighed.
" Okay." He said. Xemnas grabbed his hand and Saix rested his head on Xemnas' shoulder. A different doctor walked up to Vexen.
" Ma'am, The patient is ready to see you now." He said.
" Okay now you're just screwing with me." Vexen yelled angrily. " I'm a fucking guy, what part of 'Y chromosome' can't you understand." The doctor stepped back looking surprised. Demyx walked over to him, snickering quietly.
" Doctor, I'm Zexion's friend. Can we see him, now?" He asked. The doctor looked from Demyx to Vexen then turned to Demyx.
" Yes. The patient is feeling a little weak so please make your visit short." The doctor said carefully. Demyx nodded. " He's in Room 106-B."
" Thank you." Demyx said with a smile and the doctor walked away. Demyx turned to the others.
" Let's go see Zexion." He said happily. Xaldin tried to walk past him but Demyx helped up a hand to stop him. He shot the blond a quizzical look. " Ladies first." Demyx said extending a hand to Vexen and Larxene. Vexen huffed and stalked past.
" Asshole." He muttered under his breath. Xemnas pulled up the rear with Saix. They waited while everyone else had there visit. Then Demyx nodded to them and they walked in. Zexion was sitting upright in the bed with a large blue blanket across his legs. He smiled when he saw them.
" Hey, shrimp, how ya doin'?" Saix asked kindly.
" Ok." Zexion mumbled. " Thanks for saving me." He said. Saix nodded. Xemnas wandered over to the window.
" So what happened?" Saix asked as he stood by the foot of the bed. Zexion beckoned him to come closer.
" I was walking home from Axel's house when I heard a noise behind me. I thought it may have been Demyx, you know how he likes to play pranks on me. Anyway, I kept walking until I reached a pub. As I walked past the pub, I heard another noise. I saw your house ahead and decided to run for it. I thought the last thing I needed was to be raped. When I got to your house and rang the door bell, Seifer came out. I heard a woman call to him and he pushed me out of the doorway. He called his gang out and told them to 'take care of me'. They beat me up. I guess I passed out because I woke up and there was Demyx." Zexion explained. Saix nodded.
" I thought so." He growled.
" Saix, what are you going to do?" Zexion asked looking at him.
" What do you want me to do?" Saix asked.
" I hope you make that bastard pay for what he did to me and my cousin." Zexion said with pure hatred in his eyes. Saix looked surprised.
" How did you know?" He asked.
" I've always known. Ienzo can't hide anything from me." Zexion said with a small smile. " Lexeaus and Vexen also know. We've just been too afraid to do anything. I mean, Seifer killed someone, I don't want that to happen to them or Ienzo." He added with a shudder.
" Don't worry, Zexion. We'll hit him so hard he won't be able to hurt anyone." Xemnas said from his position by the window. He turned around and he looked at Zexion with his tangerine eyes. One look at those eyes was enough assurance for Zexion, who nodded. Xemnas smiled and turned his gaze to Saix. " Saix, get the others. There's enough room for everyone in here." He said.
" But what about the nurses?" Zexion asked. Saix smirked.
" I think we'll be fine." He said and stepped out the room.
Soon everyone was clustered in the medium-sized room. Xaldin and Lexeaus stood near the door to stop anyone else from entering. Demyx and Roxas sat on the foot of Zexion's bed while Axel, Luxord, Larxene, Xigbar and Vexen stood around the bed. Marluxia sat in a chair and Saix stood near him. Xemnas stood front and center and all eyes were on him. He folded his hands behind his back in a very military-like fashion.
" Seifer has hurt one of our own. We need to think of a plan to pay him back." Xemnas announced. "Any suggestions?" Demyx raised his hand. " Demyx?"
" That bastard hates us for being gay and in Zexion's case, emo." Demyx said, earning a glare from Zexion. " I say, we give him what he gave us, times three." The blond said with a frown.
" That's a wonderful idea, Blondie, but how are we going to do that?" Xigbar asked. Demyx shrugged and Xigbar slapped a hand to his forehead.
" Any one else?" Xemnas asked. When no one raised their hand, he sighed.
" Okay, we know we want to give Seifer pain but why not humiliate him as well?" Roxas spoke up.
" That's a good idea, Rox." Axel said and the blond blushed.
" But how? That's the real question." Vexen said.
" Why not use his fear of gay people against him? I saw the expression on his face when he thought Xigbar and Xaldin were going to kiss." Saix suggested.
" That's a great idea, Saix." Xemnas said with a smile. " Roxas, call Namine." He ordered.
" Why?" Roxas asked.
" Just do it." Saix snapped and the young blond immediately dialed the girl's number. He then gave the phone to Xemnas who had his hand stretched out.
" Hello, Namine. Yeah, it's me Xemnas. You heard what happened to Zexion, right?" He asked. Then rolled his eyes. " Yes, poor Zexy. Anyway, Seifer was the one who did it and we could use your help to get back at him." He grinned. " Don't worry about what you can do. Believe me, you can do a lot. Okay, see you in school." He said and hung up. He then turned back to the others.
" The plan will go down on Friday." He announced.
" That's Valentine's Day." Marluxia said with an evil smile.
" Right, so who can blame us if something happens? Being teenagers we couldn't help but get swept up in the spirit." Larxene said with a cackle. Axel and Luxord edged quickly away from her.
" Zexion, when will you be able to leave?" Xemnas asked.
" In a day." Zexion answered. (A/N: He only needs to be in the hospital for a day. He's still going to be recovering when the plan goes down.)
" Excellent. When you get out, see if you can dredge up any background information. Marluxia, Larxene and Saix, see if you can get any information from around school. Marluxia, you ask the gay guys, Larxene, you ask the girls and Saix, you ask the straight guys." Xemnas ordered.
" But why him? He isn't even straight." Roxas asked.
" You don't need to be straight to know how to get information from guys who are easily intimidated." Saix said calmly. He never took his eyes off Xemnas. Roxas shuddered and decided to not to respond.
" Axel, you and Luxord need to find out where Seifer and his gang hang out during lunch. Vexen, you, Lexeaus and Roxas need to find out all the members in Seifer's gang. Who knows, maybe Sora knows some." Xemnas said looking at each member as he said their names. Demyx pouted.
" What about me?" He asked.
" You're the distraction." Xemnas informed him.
" The distraction? Why?" Demyx asked looking annoyed.
" Because a chain is only as strong as its weakest link, you twit." Saix snarled, angry that someone had decided to argue with Xemnas. Xemnas frowned at Saix.
" No, that isn't true. The reason you're the distraction is because you can draw people to you. If Seifer gets suspicious then you divert attention away from whoever in trouble." Xemnas explained. Demyx brightened considerably.
" So what will they be doing?" Larxene asked pointed to Xigbar and Xaldin.
" They'll be helping me. And no, I can't tell you what we'll be doing." Xemnas said simply.
" Everyone has their assignments?" He asked. Everyone nodded their heads.
" Good then, we'll meet up at my house on Wednesday. Until then, try not to draw too much attention and make sure you have Demyx's cell number, just in case." Xemnas said before they dispersed. (A/N: Orgy. powers, activate!) Demyx stayed by Zexion while Xaldin checked to see if the coast was clear before letting everyone out. Then he joined Xigbar and Saix to stand by Xemnas. Xemnas and Saix were holding hands as Xemnas stared out the window at the foggy street below.
" So what are we going to do?" Xigbar asked. Xemnas frowned and then shrugged.
" I'm not sure yet. I need to wait until we have all the information. Hopefully it won't hinder my plan." He answered.
" And just what are you planning?" Xaldin asked. Xemnas turned away from the window.
" Something Seifer is sure to never forget." He said as he met Xaldin's amethyst gaze with his own of orange. Xaldin nodded, then he and Xigbar left. Xemnas turned to Saix.
" Let's go back to my house." He said with a smile. Saix nodded and they left after saying good bye to Demyx and Zexion. Xemnas, however, stopped just outside the door. He put a finger to his lips for Saix to be quiet and together they listened.
" Oh, Zexy. I'm so glad you're okay." They heard Demyx say.
" I know, Dem, I'm glad too. I thought I'd never see you again." Zexion said.
" I'm glad Saix found you when he did. What happened to you?" Demyx asked.
" Don't worry, Dem, just worry about getting revenge on Seifer."
" That bastard will pay for even touching my Zexy." Demyx declared angrily. Zexion chuckled.
" There's my Dem-Dem." He said and they both fell silent for an obvious reason. Saix smiled and he pulled Xemnas away. They walked back to Xemnas' house, together. It was actually a long walk but neither minded considering it wasn't raining anymore. Surprisingly, they came to Saix' house before Xemnas' house. Saix walked right past it and Xemnas didn't even ask why they weren't stopping. It was humid outside, thanks to all the rain and Saix noticed his hair was feeling damp. He shook his head angrily to dry it up Xemnas stopped him with a hand on the blue head's shoulder.
" Don't act like that. What's with you anyways?" He asked.
" I'm just angry." Saix answered with a sigh.
" About what happened to Zexion?"
" Yeah and that Axel called you."
" What's wrong with calling me?" Xemnas asked pretending to be offended.
" Nothing, it's just that they feel like you're the only one who can control me when I lose my temper."
" I wouldn't say that."
" I would. I don't want to keep my temper in check, for once I want to let it lose and find Seifer." Saix said with a growl. Xemnas slipped an arm around his waist. Saix fell silent and leaned his head against him.
" That's better." Xemnas said with a smile. Saix nodded but didn't say anything. They soon arrived at Xemnas' house and walked in. The light to the kitchen was on but they ignored it and walked up the stairs to Xemnas' room. Saix sat down on the foot of the bed and Xemnas sat beside him. Xemnas wrapped his arm back around Saix's waist and pulled him close for a kiss. Saix kissed him back and Xemnas felt Saix' tongue lick his bottom lip. He opened his mouth to let the tongue in. Saix's hands wandered under Xemnas' shirt and traced light circles across his stomach. Xemnas moaned into Saix's mouth and grabbed fists fulls of Saix's damp hair. Saix stood up, still kissing, and pushed Xemnas back on to the bed. He then climbed on top and straddled his waist. He broke away to kiss Xemnas gently on the neck causing him to moan even more. He tried to push Saix off but his arms refused to obey him. He closed his eyes and just enjoyed the kiss and the light tickles as Saix's hands explored under his shirt.
" Saix, stop." He moaned softly. Saix hushed him with a kiss on the lips. Xemnas noticed how hypnotic those gold eyes. He wanted to take it so much farther, which was why he surprised both himself and Saix by pushing Saix off him. Saix rolled away looking annoyed.
" Why did you stop?" He asked with a sexy pout. Xemnas averted his gaze.
"Not now, Saix." He said simply.
" Why did you stop?" Said asked again with a growl. Xemnas looked at him, now.
" Because, if I'm going to sleep with you than it can't be when you're frustrated." Xemnas answered.
" Of course, I'm frustrated, you just turned me down." Saix snarled. Xemnas reached over and grabbed his chin. He pulled then him in so they were staring into each others' eyes.
" You're frustrated because you want to kill Seifer, Zexion was hurt by your friend and not only because he's gay but because you asked me out. That's enough to make anyone frustrated. But you're also frustrated because you're jealous of Xigbar and Xaldin and wish I didn't spend so much time with them, right?" He asked. Saix stared at him, dumbfounded.
" Right. How did you know?" He asked. Xemnas smirked and Saix resisted the urge to kiss him again.
" You're not the only one who can read their boyfriend." Xemnas said simply. " Now come on, I'm tired." He said and leaned back against his pillows. Saix snuggled close to him and rested his head on Xemnas' chest. Saix fell asleep listening to his breathing.
Some time later, Ansem came by to check on them. He quietly opened the door and smiled sadly at the two boys. Xemnas had an arm around Saix while Saix rested one hand of Xemnas. Their other hands were clasped with the fingers entwined. Xehanort snuck in, after Ansem had left, and took a picture, making sure the flash was on. The flash was a rather rude awakening for Saix.
" I'll kill you!" He snarled and lept for Xehanort. The boy's gold eyes widened and he ran out the room. Saix stood glaring at the open door that swamped the darkened room with light. He kicked the door shut with a growl and returned to the bed. Xemnas was awake and he smiled as Saix.
" Ignore him and come back to bed." He said softly. Saix nodded and snuggled against him. Xemnas' hands played with Saix hair while he waited until he fell asleep.
" I can't sleep anymore, Xemnas." Saix said. Xemnas chuckled and Saix could feel the vibrations against his chest.
" Neither can I." He answered.
" So what are we going to do? Since we can't make out and sex is out of the question." Saix huffed making Xemnas laugh again.
"Well, we could be good students and work on our project." Xemnas suggested. Saix shook his head.
" I'd rather do something with you." He said.
" We're partners for the project so you would be doing something with me." Xemnas explained. Saix made a face.
" That's boring. There must be something we can do that doesn't involve school." Saix said with a pout. Xemnas smiled and kissed him. Saix smiled back. " I thought you said we couldn't make out." He said.
" Kissing doesn't necessarily mean making out." Xemnas said slyly. Saix leaned forward and kissed him. Xemnas smiled. " You taste of chocolate." He said happily and kissed Saix again.
" And you taste of cotton candy. Where did you get cotton candy?" Saix asked as he combed through Xemnas' hair with his fingers.
" We stopped by a fair on the way back."
" Xehanort wanted some?" Saix asked.
" Nope, Xigbar did." Xemnas answered before leaning down to nibble on Saix's ear. Saix hissed.
" Xemnas, don't. Believe me, you don't want to do that." He said as he bit his lip to keep from moaning.
" Why?" Xemnas whispered huskily into his ear, sending shivers down the blue-head's back.
" That's my special spot. If you keep nibbling on my ear like that. I.. I.. what was I talking about again?" Saix asked as Xemnas went back to nibbling on his ear. Saix gave up trying to remember and settled for moaning as Xemnas continued nibbling his ear. Xemnas turned him onto his stomach and nibbled the other ear. Saix's moans were, now, muffled by the covers. After finishing with both ears, Xemnas then rolled him back over and moved on to Saix's neck. The moans grew louder as Xemnas switched from nibbling to kissing. All Saix could think about was how easily he could take Xemnas' shirt off. He reached a hand out only to have it caught in Xemnas' own hand. The lips on his neck were turned on his hand. At least now, he could think even if he did enjoy the kissing. It was then that he felt Xemnas' other hand on his ass. He looked up into those lust filled orbs of orange and smiled. Xemnas leaned forward and kissed him on the lips again.
" I thought you said you weren't going to have sex while me while I was frustrated?" Saix asked with a smirk.
" Well screw that." Xemnas said.
" You mean screw me." Saix said then pulled Xemnas on top of him as they kissed again.
And I'm stopping it there. Wow, I didn't know I had it in me to put more fluff. I would say they should wait but then again these are 18 year-old boys. They're not waiting for anything. Yes, they have a plan to get back at Seifer which goes down in the next chapter. I think I've murdered this series with my poor attempts at horror and fluff. -tear- oh,well. And as a special treat, to all my wonderful readers and reviewers, I'm giving you more. If I wanted to be mean then this next section, which is incredibly short, would be the next chapter. But I'm nicer than that and in a god mood for various reasons. That's right, you're getting more. Enjoy, and remember who loves you!
Xehanort arose bright and early on Monday morning. He took his shower, making sure to carefully shampoo his precious white hair and then dressed in his freshly ironed shirt and pants. He frowned when he thought of his brothers routine which usually involved cursing out the radio for waking him up or trying to destroy the machine. Of course, he always came downstairs in his clothes looking nice, as usual, but that didn't mean his hair was always nice. Xehanort always scoffed when he thought of how disorderly Xemnas' hair was on some days while on other days it seemed to be tidy. As he made his way downstairs, he wondered which day today would be. Yesterday, he had seen Saix leave Xemnas' room at 10:00pm and wondered what they had been doing for five hours. Actually he knew what they had been doing for the last two hours if the moaning gave any testament to that. With a sigh, Xehanort walked into the kitchen to find his brother up, dressed and with his hair nicely combed. This rarely happened at the same time so Xehanort had to stare at him for a good five minutes until he looked up.
" What's wrong, Xehanort?" He asked. Xehanort scowled.
" How many times do I have to tell you to- Wait, you called me Xehanort." He said with a smile. Xemnas nodded and shot him a quizzical look.
" That is your name, right?" He asked and Xehanort nodded. " Good, now what do you want for breakfast?" Xemnas asked as he stood up. Xehanort opened his mouth to speak but instead just smirked. Xemnas waited for an answer and when he didn't get one he turned to face his brother. "What?" He asked looking confused. Xehanort crossed his arms in front of his chest.
" It was that good, huh?" He asked. Xemnas smiled.
" It was better than good. It was." Xemnas broke off and Xehanort cut in.
" Why don't we stop there before we make the rating go up." He said and Xemnas nodded with a smile. " So where has your lover gone?" Xehanort asked.
" Saix went back home to get ready for school." Xemnas said with a frown. Xehanort laughed.
" If we were back home, he could have stayed all night, taken a shower and then just gone in the clothes he was wearing yesterday." He said with a smile.
" Don't remind me." Xemnas said with a grimace which made Xehanort laugh again. He walked to the pantry and got out his cereal. They ate in silence.
Saix left his house and started the walk to Axel's and Demyx's houses. The two lived right next to each other, which was oddly convient. Axel answered his door as soon as Saix knocked but it took some time for Demyx to come to the door. When he opened the door he was talking on his cell phone and stepped out of house and locked the door without a smile or nod to the others. Axel looked annoyed but Saix didn't even notice. They climbed into Axel's car and drove school. Demyx sat in the back and his voice helped fill the silence. Xemnas was waiting for them in the front of the school and Saix practically jumped out the car to get to him. He wrapped his arms around him and kissed him on the lips, making the other boy laugh.
" Wow, Saix, I didn't know you missed me so much." He said with a laugh. Saix blushed and pulled away. He seemed to remember their greeting was in public.
" Sorry, I'm just glad to see you." He said.
" I'm glad too." Xemnas said and then leaned forward to kiss him on the lips. He pulled away with a smirk and then grabbed Saix's hand and they walked off. Demyx had stopped his phone conversation to watch the exchange between the two boys.
" What just happened?" Demyx asked.
" Isn't it obvious? They slept together." Xehanort said simply. Axel and Demyx stared at him before a demonic grin spread across Demyx's face and he hurriedly said good bye to whoever he was talking to and hurried after Saix and Xemnas. The blond spotted them leaning against a tree with the others. He ran over to them when he suddenly tripped and fell face first on the concrete. He heard a cruel laugh behind him and looked up.
"Seifer." He spat. Seifer smirked and then walked away.
" Demyx, are you okay?" Roxas asked as he ran up to him. Demyx nodded and stood up.
"Seifer was just being the bastard we all know and hate." Demyx answered with a grimace and then walked over to the others. Somehow, Axel had beaten him there even though he had to park his car. But Demyx wasn't concerned about that. Xemnas was leaning against the tree in deep conversation with Saix. No one else was near them mainly because of the fear of a glare from the blue-headed boy if anyone came too close. Demyx smirked, his fall forgotten, and walked forward. Saix glared at him and Xemnas stopped talking to look up at him.
" Hello, Demyx. Is there something you want?" Xemnas asked.
" Yes, oh gracious leader." Demyx said with a bow. " I would like you to stop flirting with your girlfriend and talk about the plan." He said with a smirk. Saix glared at him.
" I'm not his girlfriend." He said with a growl.
" No, you're right. I'm sorry. So, Saix, how was Xemnas' bed?" Demyx asked.
" I don't know." Saix said with a scowl. " Why would I?" He asked.
" I was under the impression, you would know." Demyx said with a shrug.
" Why?" Saix asked with a frown.
" Because you guys slept together." Demyx said, rather loudly. That got everyone's attention.
" How did you know?" Xemnas asked calmly while he gripped Saix's hand to prevent the boy from lunging at Demyx.
" Your brother." Demyx answered. Saix narrowed his eyes and Xemnas put an arm around his shoulders.
" Calm down Saix." He said gently into his ear. The effect happened immediately, Saix's shoulders sagged and he closed his eyes.
" Okay, Xemnas." He murmured. What followed, was a stunned silence. No one had ever been able to calm Saix down like that. At least, not so quickly.
" Wow, did we miss something?" Xigbar said. Xemnas looked up at them and smiled. Xigbar and Xaldin were standing behind Marluxia and Larxene who were seated in a circle with Luxord and Lexeaus, they were playing Old Maid since gambling wasn't allowed in school. That didn't stop Marluxia from losing ten dollars, already. Larxene looked up and waved then put her head down and picked up a card. Vexen and Roxas were staring at Vexen's laptop he had balanced on a tree stump. Axel was staring at Roxas and Demyx was standing in front of Saix and Xemnas mouthing words and making kissy faces at Saix who seemed to grow angrier with each passing second. Xigbar and Xaldin walked over to stand next to Demyx. Saix's eyes moved away from Demyx to glare at the newest intruders.
" Woah, Xemnas, I think your dog is constipated." Xigbar said with a grin. Saix's eyes narrowed to merely slits and Xemnas sighed.
" Hold on a sec." He said and pulled Saix's head up to kiss him on the lips. Saix's instantly relaxed and slid his arms around Xemnas' waist. Xemnas pulled away with a smile. He placed his hand on Saix back and looked at Xigbar, Xaldin and Demyx. Demyx was trying to smother his laughter behind his hand while Xigbar and Xaldin acted like nothing unusual had just happened. " You know, Demyx, if I wanted to, I could let go of Saix and let him chase you around the school or until he catches you, which ever comes first." Xemnas said calmly. Demyx gulped and moved away.
" So I'm guessing you two are closer." Xigbar said with a wry smile and Xemnas nodded.
" Its amazing how calm he is around you." Xaldin said. "Last time I saw him, I mean yesterday, he was glaring at anyone who questioned your plans and now he's passively standing there as though we don't exist." Xemnas nodded his head again and ran a hand through Saix's hair. The bluenette rested his head against Xemnas' chest and closed his eyes. Xigbar chanced a look over his shoulders and then stepped closer.
" You think they're going to be able to do this, Xem?" He asked. Xemnas nodded.
" For some, it won't be acting, but for others it may be harder." He answered. Xaldin frowned.
" I can't believe this whole plan rests on the shoulders of people you've only known for a month. Any number of things could go wrong." He said with a shake of his head. Saix scrunched up his nose as the scent of Xaldin's hair came to him and opened his eyes.
" What did you put in those dreadlocks, a dead animal?" He asked as he put a hand over his nose. Xaldin glared at him.
" They're not dreadlocks, they're braids." He snapped. Saix rolled his eyes and put his head back down, but he didn't close his eyes.
" You're right, Xal, many things can go wrong but the same is true in war. Generals take chances all the time." Xemnas answered. Xaldin still frowned. " We'll discuss everything on Wednesday. In the mean time, can, you and Xig, make sure everyone has my house address?" Xemnas asked.
" They do." Saix answered and Xemnas smiled.
" Good." He said and kissed Saix on his ear. Just then the bell rang. Saix stood up with a scowl and Xemnas grabbed his backpack. Xemnas waved good bye to Xigbar and Xaldin and then he walked in to school with Saix. The school proved to be very interesting.
Everywhere Seifer went he felt like he being watched. He walked past a student drinking water, not even noticing when the kid stood up and looked at him with turquoise eyes before writing something on a pad of paper with a pencil tucked in his short blond hair. Seifer passed the computer lab where a blond boy with green eyes was hacking into the computer files, too bad the teacher wasn't paying attention. Seifer saw a kid with pink hair flirting with another group of boys. He scowled at this. Nearby, a blond girl with two strand of hair that looked like antennae gossiped with a group of girls. She pointed at Seifer and soon had the girls giggling. A flash of blue caught Seifer's eye and he saw Saix pushing a boy in to the bathroom, where he assumed the boy would be given a swirly. He wasn't mistaken when the boy came out with a wet head and followed by a smirking Saix. Sora, the junior class president was seen talking to a blond kid who looked like he could have been his twin. Seifer's gang past a red headed kid who was flirting outrageously with a group of girls. His back was turned so Seifer couldn't see his face. When his gang past the red-head turned away from the girls with a smirk and wrote something down on a pad of paper. A tall brown haired kid was seen talking to a teacher. He pointed at Seifer's gang and then looked at the teacher who shook her head. Seifer had the strange feeling he was being watched and turned around. There was that red head again. Still his back was turned. Seifer decided to see who he was and made his way over there when someone ran into him.
" Oops, my bad." Came the voice and someone held out their hand. Seifer took it and was pulled into the arms of the blond kid he remembered tripping earlier. " You come here often?" The blond kid asked as he groped Seifer's ass. Seifer narrowed his eyes and pushed the blond kid away. He turned to his gang and snapped his fingers, but when he turned back around, the blond kid was gone. Seifer looked around and didn't see the red head either. He shook his head and kept walking. Out of the corner of his eye he saw the black kid with gray hair talking on a cell phone with his back turned. Seifer smirked and made his way over to him.
" Hello, N." He said loudly. Xemnas turned around and glared at him.
" Hello, punk." He said calmly. Seifer cracked his knuckles.
" What did you call me?" He asked angrily. Xemnas smirked.
" You heard me." Xemnas said as he folded his arms across his chest. Suddenly he felt someone touch his ass and he heard a voice next to him.
" Hey, Xemmy, how have you been?" Xigbar asked standing next to him. Seifer paled visibly. He still remembered what had happened last Saturday between this pony-tailed boy and the kid with dreadlocks, he didn't want it to happen again. Not to mention he had ignored that Saix had said he was dating the black kid. He assumed Saix's dad had put a stop to that.
" Good, Xiggy, where have you been? I missed you." Xemnas said looking at Xigbar who smiled and hugged him.
" Here, there, everywhere. This guy isn't bothering you is he, Xemmy?" Xigbar asked with a cock of his head. Xemnas shook his head and smiled.
" Nope, he's not bothering me at all." He responded.
" Good." Xigbar said and leaned over to kiss him. Seifer made a gagging sound and quickly walked away . Xigbar smiled and released Xemnas.
" You weren't kidding when you said he was a homophobe, Saix." Xemnas said with a laugh. Saix, who was standing nearby, nodded.
" Yeah." He said as he glared at Xigbar. Xigbar chuckled and pushed Xemnas to Saix.
" He's all yours. But be gentle." Xigbar said warningly and laughed when Saix blushed.
The group was assembled in Xemnas' living room, sipping cans of soda with the exceptions of Xigbar, Xaldin and Luxord who were drinking beer. They weren't drunk, yet. Xemnas walked out of the kitchen and stood in front of the TV while he waited for everyone to stop talking. He didn't say anything and merely stood there. Saix frowned when no one paid attention.
" Shut the fuck up!" He snarled. Everyone fell silent at once. Xemnas smiled and nodded at Saix.
" Thank you, Saix." He said then faced the others. " Time to bring forth what you found out. Vexen, what did you, Lexeaus and Roxas find?" He asked looked at the two blonds and brunette in turn. Vexen stood up.
" We found out that most of Seifer's gang are sent to detention every day of the week for some stupid reason or another. They never come, however, and all of them have been expelled at least twice. Surprisingly, a few are honor students and while most are seniors, some are juniors." Vexen said and sat down. Xemnas nodded. " Lexeaus, Roxas, do have anything to add?" He asked. Both shook their heads and Xemnas moved on. " Zexion, I'm glad to see you're back and doing well. What did you find?" Xemnas asked. Zexion, who was sitting next to Demyx stood up.
" I found some very interesting files from the school psychiatrist. It seems Seifer holds grudge against gay people because he used to be gay, himself." Zexion said calmly. Gasps rang around the room.
" You're joking." Axel exclaimed. Zexion shook his head and continued.
" No, I'm not. When he was twelve, he fell in love with another guy. They dated for a few months before the guy broke up with him. He never said why. Anyway, years passed and Seifer built up a hatred for that boy who he had loved and lost. Then four years later, he saw him with another boy. Something in Seifer just snapped and he ordered his gang to attack them. Unfortunately, the boy was with his friends and they were hurt as well. Seifer ordered all of the kids who knew the couple to be hurt and he had the girls raped. The one who told on the police was the boyfriend of Seifer's love. Seifer broke out of jail and killed the boy. The psychiatrist wrote that Seifer looked sadistically happy when he told of how the blood felt on his hands and how it tasted." Zexion said. Roxas cowered against Axel while Vexen tried not to lose his lunch. Xemnas frowned.
" So he's psychotic. Those are always the most enjoyable to break." Larxene said with a smile. Marluxia just stared at her.
"Larx, when are you going to be done PMSing?" He asked cautiously. Larxene frowned at him.
" I was done PMSing last Wednesday." She said.
" Oh gods, you mean you purposely stabbed me with a bloody pencil?" Luxord asked and Larxene calmly nodded
" Moving on." Xemnas said loudly to get everyone's attention. "Axel, Luxord, where does Seifer hang out during school?" Xemnas asked. Axel and Luxord stood up.
" Seifer roams the school in the morning and between periods. During lunch, he sometimes sits with his friend at the table behind us or he sometime sits outside. After school, when he isn't beating up other kids, he goes home." Axel said with a shrug.
" That's it?" Xemnas asked with a frown and Luxord nodded.
" He's pretty boring actually. Some of his cronies actually do more things then he does." Luxord said with a frown.
" When does Seifer sit outside?" Xemnas asked. This time Larxene spoke up.
" He usually eats outside on Fridays." She said and Xemnas smiled.
" Excellent. Did you find out anything else?" Xemnas asked. Marluxia nodded and stood up.
" Seifer, as we know, hates seeing gay couples being all lovey-dovey. The guys I talked to confirmed this saying that they've been beat up by one of Seifer's gang but never by Seifer himself." He informed. Xemnas nodded. " Saix, do you have anything to add?" He asked. Saix nodded.
" Seifer's bullying seems to be only noticed by gay guys. None of the straight guys mentioned that Seifer picked on them. Well, some of the younger kids mentioned he did but that's to be expected." He said calmly.
" Good." Xemnas said. " Now everyone listen up as we pair off. Axel, you're with Roxas." Xemnas said. Roxas looked like he was going to argue but one look at Saix and he shut his mouth. " Demyx, you're with Zexion." Demyx jumped up with a squeal and hugged the smaller boy. " Larxene, you're with Namine." Both girls nodded and smiled at each other. " Vexen, you're with Lexeaus and Luxord's with Marluxia."
" Now hold up, I'm not being with that pansy." Luxord said angrily. Saix glared at him.
" And just who would you rather be with?" Xemnas asked. " Certainly not with Larxene." He said eying Luxord. Luxord looked at Larxene and gulped.
" Fine, I'll be with Marluxia." He said shuddering as he said Marluxia's name.
" I don't know what you're complaining about. There are a lot of people who wouldn't mind being paired with me." Marluxia said with a frown.
" Then why don't you work with them?" Luxord asked angrily.
" Because, my dear British blond, those are OC's" Marluxia said slowly as if he was talking to a young child.
" Shut up, both of you before I rip out your tongues" Saix snarled and both boys shut up. Xemnas frowned at Saix and rolled his eyes.
" Xaldin and Xigbar will be together and I'll be with Saix." Xemnas finished.
" Now I know no one saw that coming." Axel said sarcastically, earning a laugh from everyone including Xemnas. Xigbar stood up with a grin.
" Okay, everyone gather around for acting lessons." He said happily. Xemnas smiled and went to stand by Saix near the kitchen. Saix took his hand in his and Xemnas leaned his head on Saix's shoulder. They weren't really participating but that's okay. Too bad, Xaldin didn't think so.
" Xemnas, bring lover boy over here and show them what we agreed on." Xaldin called loudly. Xemnas smiled and dragged a very confused looking Saix over. Xemnas spun Saix around and pressed him up against the TV before kissing him. Saix responded almost immediately and kissed him back. He felt Xemnas lick bottom of his lip and opened his mouth to allow it in. His hands roamed over Xemnas' body finally stopping at his head as he tangled his finger in the gray hair. Xemnas pulled away with a smile on his face. Saix stared up into his eyes, everything else forgotten.
" That was hot." Demyx murmured and Axel nodded his head in agreement.
" Good" Xigbar said lightly pushing Xemnas and Saix into the kitchen. "We don't need you guys anymore so your free to fuck each other senseless." He called into the room. Saix blushed and tried to cover it with a scowl. Xemnas walked over to the refrigerator and leaned against it.
" The plan goes down in two days. I can't wait." Saix said softly looking out the window near the refrigerator, for once his eyes weren't on Xemnas.
" Yeah, I'll finally get my revenge on that bastard for hurting Xehanort." Xemnas said angrily. Saix looked at Xemnas.
" Be careful. I know Seifer, if everything doesn't goes as planned then he's going to come after you." He said looking worried.
" Saix, you act like I can't handle myself." Xemnas said with a small smile.
" It's not that its just that, its just..." Saix tried to say but he fell silent. Xemnas walked over and kissed him.
" Don't worry, I'll be fine." He said with a smile. They suddenly heard loud whistling coming from the living room. When they entered the room, they saw Roxas sitting on Axel's lap, kissing him. The blond seemed to be dominating over the red head, although Axel didn't seem to mind. His hands were firmly wrapped around the smaller boy's waist. When it didn't look like they would pull apart, Xaldin and Xigbar stepped up to forcibly pull them apart. Axel was panting while Roxas was smiling triumphantly. Both of their faces were bright red.
" Wow, I didn't think you had it in you, little dude." Xigbar said in amazement. Roxas smiled.
" What? You think that because I'm the youngest that I don't know how to kiss? Please! I've been making out since I got to this school." Roxas said with a wink at Axel.
" Okay, well we all know who doesn't need practice." Xaldin said loudly, causing both Roxas and Axel to blush. The rest of the day passed normally if you can count normal as learning how to pretend to make out with your friends. They went over the plan, three times to make sure everyone knew their part. On Friday, the plan was set to go down.
I'm finally leaving it there. Hopefully, you liked it. It's longer than any of the other chapters, so be grateful! AkuRoku! I'm so late though, but I didn't have any inspiration until now. It isn't much and don't expect much because they aren't the main pairing. Xemnas and Saix are! I've got some typical pairings. It may sound like yuri, but it isn't. The most is kissing, for Larxene and Namine. I decided not to go with 411 becuase i don't think Luxord and Lexeaus look good together. Hate to say this but I don't like either of them. Well, I just don't think they're hot. do like Lexeaus, though. My next update is 8/31. So keep a look out.
Axel: Review, please!
Me: Yay! (glomps)
