Chapter 24
Holiday Ends..
--------------------
"Gotta find Xigbar! Gotta find Xigbar!" a nervous voice seemed to repeat over and over again, until you just really felt the need to shoot who ever was stupid enough to keep saying it. Unfortunately for the mysterious third person, they couldn't do anything about it.
"Damn it! Where is that stupid moron!" Zexion boomed as he stormed up and down the halls of Castle Oblivion. Everything seemed to have lightened up in the castle, which was odd considering some of the other organization members were still in the foulest of moods. Though Zexion was of no exception at the moment. He was on a determined path to find Xigbar; like a woman was when she was on to her lying husband.
"..I swear if Xaldin has him held up in that damned kitchen again…" he grumbled while stalking up to the huge kitchen doors with balled fists. Shoving the doors wide open, he caused Xaldin to whirl around faster then the air around him could handle, sending small air currents towards Zexion. Which by the time reached him felt like a breeze when the window was open. Zexion gave him a look that said it all. 'How the hell do you do that.' Xaldin met his gaze with an arched brow, and a wry smile. 'I'm just that cool..'
Even though the words were not spoken, they were 'felt'. "You don't by any chance have Xigbar held up in here again do you?" Zexion asked him suspiciously. Xaldin turned back to what he was doing at the stove. "Do you see him anywhere on these ceilings?" he replied dryly. Zexion's eyes flashed to the ceiling, and didn't see Xigbar anywhere, but they did catch the spot where the ceiling had partly molded to his backside.
"…very well then." Zexion turned, and pushed through the kitchen door taking his leave.
---------------------
Zexion continued his storming of the halls for quiet sometime, making quiet a lot of noise, making everyone tense and uneasy for the time being. That is until Xemnas had had enough.
"ATTENTON! This is you're Superior speaking! Zexion! What in kingdom hearts creation are you going on about now! Normally I don't have to go to such lengths to make an organization member stop.. But this is absurd!"
Zexion glared at the intercom in the corner of his eye as he continued down the hallway. He was going to ignore the superior's orders for the moment
"..Zexion! I demand that you come to my office immediately! I will not be ignored!"
Zexion growled, becoming more annoyed with the Superior's antics. "..can't you take a hint! I'm not after you right now! I'm on a mission!" He shouted out at one of the nearby intercoms. His fists were clenched at his sides as he was ready to attack if need be.
"What the hell is your mission then! Your getting everyone else riled up, and they're starting to complain about you! This isn't like you Zexion…" Xemnas sighed, this was different. Usually it was Axel or Demyx he was getting onto. Even Roxas hadn't been causing any trouble as of late, maybe it was the fact that the two nobodies weren't together.
Zexion sighed, relaxing slightly. He looked away putting one of his hands on his hips. Glancing back at the intercom he shrugged. "I'm looking for Xigbar. I have to talk to him."
"..You mean that's it?!" "…XIGBAR THIS IS THE SUPERIOR SPEAKING, DO YOU HEAR ME YOU PUNKED GUNNER! GET YOUR ASS TO ZEXION PRONTO! ….That is all. Superior out."
Zexion stared on at the intercom as if something foreign just happened. In a poof of purple and black smoke, Xigbar was in front of Zexion. "..Yea, what do ya want?" He poked Zexion hard in the chest. Zexion brushed away his poke, and smiled. "I'll need to talk to you in the dark void, or we won't accomplish anything here." He turned to open a portal.
Xigbar thought a moment, then smiled. "Are you gonna get rid of these damned bells for me?!" He shouted at him excitedly. Zexion only smiled back at him. "Sure why not.." he stepped through the portal, and Xigbar flew in right after him. "Alright lil' dude! Get rid of these things!' He jumped up and down happily. Zexion scratched at his head. "Well, you see the thing is, that's just it. I'm not actually here to remove the bells Xiggy.."
Xigbar stopped, and looked at him suspiciously. "…Then what are you up to then?" He stood up straight. His ponytail falling back against his back. Zexion moved towards the left and outstretched his arm. Within a few seconds Luxord came walking through the portal, grinning like a feral cat at Xigbar.
Xigbar felt his face whiten. "…L-Luxord!? Zexion! What's going on here?!" He looked back and forth between the two, a little worried now that something might happen to him that he wasn't going to like very much. "…I promised Luxord, I'd get you two alone together.." Zexion began to back away from Xigbar, as he started to panic. "Sorry… Xiggy…" Zexion said to him before disappearing back into the castle.
"Looks like it's just you and me now…" Luxord said smiling evilly.
---------------------
Xemnas smiled happily to finally stop Zexion from his ongoing rampage. He tapped his fingers against the top of his desk. 'knock-knock' came from the door. Xemnas was slightly startled from his thoughts, and spoke up. "Enter.." The door slowly opened, Xemnas half expected it to be Saix, but was startled to see that it was Sephiroth who walked into his office.
Heat rose through Xemnas at the sight of him. "..YOU!..WHAT..ARE YOU! DOING BACK HERE?!" Xemnas stood up so fast he lost his balance and fell back into his chair which tumbled over backwards.
The chair hit the floor with a loud clatter, and Sephiroth's rich laughter filled the room. There was something about that laugh that could calm anyone. Xemnas glanced over to see black boots, that indeed belonged to Sephiroth.
"……Honestly Xemnas, did you think you had seen the last of ….'moi'?" Sephiroth teased him. Xemnas glared up at the silver haired man. Sephiroth was staring down at him with his cat like eyes, holding him captive with his gaze. Xemnas blinked once then twice trying not to lose himself in those green orbs. "..I was hoping you'd gone off to the very pits of hell itself.." Xemnas muttered, teleporting out of his chair to a standing position that gave him more confidence.
"Been there, done that. Nothing to see or conquer anymore. What's the point when there are other things that have obtained my interests." His eyes held a fascination for trouble, intelligence and slyness. Something that Xemnas didn't enjoy. "..Look, your not welcome here anymore." Xemnas confirmed looking at Sephiroth sternly. Both were around the same height, about an inch difference, Xemnas being the shorter one. Which he didn't like either. Everything about Sephiroth he envied yet hated so. The eyes, the attitude, the hair, the reputation! Someone would kill for those kind of things. Xemnas could only imagine what he would be like with those types of things at his whim. Xemnas came out of his day dreams when he saw Sephiroth smirking at him. "..Something catch your interest Xemnas?" He cooed.
Xemnas glared at him. "No. Now get out of this Castle before I have to boot you out myself." He pointed to the window. Sephiroth's gaze never left Xemnas' unblinking one. "I'll leave, but my presence will be known.." With those words said, he vanished in blue feathers. The tension went from unbearable to calm and collective once again. Xemnas sighed, picking up his chair and falling back in it again. Though he only had a moment to sit down before he met the floor with another cracking sound.

"Ah! Axel! Stop!" Demyx tried to catch his breath, trying to shield himself from Axel's on slat with his arms. "Your not being--fair! Ahh!" He cried out. Axel chuckled. "Your--just-- Being-- A BAbEH!" He grunted. "AHHH!! " Demyx cried out again.
Vexen who was listening to all this, while putting up Christmas lights, felt very awkward for he couldn't really see what was going on with the two. Lexeaus felt the same. He sighed, going back to looking at the lights.
"C'mon! Demyx!" Axel shouted. Demyx cried out again. "It hurts!! Your to hard on me!"
"…You're a wimp, who can't take it like a man…"
"Uhm, Vexen.. I just noticed--"
"WHAT!?" Vexen was so intent on listening to Axel and Demyx he was startled by Lexeaus. "One of the lights on the very top of the castle is out.." Vexen glared at him, then poofed up by the burnt out light, taking it out, and replacing it with a I different one. It lit up, but then the one 4 rows below it went out..
Vexen glared at it, and replaced it. It too lit up, but then another one went out.. "Grrr!!" He growled in frustration as he continued this step for at least 10 minutes before giving up. "..Damn things."
"Demyx! Put more into it! God.. I'm dying here.." Axel said breathless. Lexeaus was starting to become very uncomfortable with what might be going on with the two.
"…YOU KNOW WHAT!? DO IT YERSELF MR. HANDY MAN!" Demyx shouted, Vexen flinched at the shouting. "Geez.. They fight like their a married couple.. I wonder what they're doing anyway.." He asked out loud. Lexueas shook his head. "I don't want to know.."
"Oh..Yeah! Just like that! C'mon! Keep it up!" Axel shouted. Vexen nearly lost his footing, grabbing onto the nearest statue. "…My god! Are they're doing it! AGAIN!"
Unbeknownst to them, Axel and Demyx were having a snowball fight, a very rough one in fact. Demyx could make snowballs pretty well, but he couldn't throw worth a crap. Axel on the other hand, was pelting the poor guy.
What really happened…
"Ah! Axel! Stop!" Demyx tried to catch his breath, trying to shield himself from Axel's on slat with his arms. "Your not being--fair! Ahh!" He cried out, trying to dodge the rather large snowballs Axel was inflicting upon his lover.
Axel chuckled. "Your--just-- Being-- A BAbEH!" He grunted. While throwing a snowball after each word. "AHHH!! " Demyx cried out again. Apparently Axel had hit the target, for Demyx was on the ground now. Axel looked at him slightly annoyed. "C'mon! Demyx!" Axel shouted. Demyx cried out again. "It hurts!! Your to hard on me!" He looked up at Axel with saddened eyes.
"…You're a wimp, who can't take it like a man…" Axel said sarcastically. He was trying to get the Nocturne riled up. Demyx stood up and threw another snowball at him. Axel let the ball hit him, and he acted like he was going to laugh.
"Demyx! Put more into it! Gosh.. I'm dying here.." Axel said breathlessly.
"…YOU KNOW WHAT!? DO IT YERSELF MR. HANDY MAN!" Demyx shouted, folding his arms over his chest in aggravation. "Can't you teach yourself?! Throwing hard isn't that hard!"
Axel sighed. "Just think of something you hate…then see.."
Demyx thought of Saix killing all of his precious fish, and immediately anger swelled. Bending over he formed multiple snowballs and chuckled them so hard at Axel, Axel thought he'd have to shield himself with fire.
"Oh..Yeah! Just like that! C'mon! Keep it up!" Axel shouted at Demyx, trying to get a decent snowball fight going. Axel ran and ducked behind a nearby bush and started forming snowballs. He quickly took a peek over the bush, and had to quickly go back down as a gigantic snow ball came crashing past him hitting the tree in front of axel, causing all the leaves that were left to fall off. Axel whistled, and teleported behind Demyx and pelted him in the back of the head with a few snowballs.
Demyx squeaked and tried getting him back, but he wasn't fast enough as Axel pounced forward onto Demyx. Both went tumbling down into the snow. "..heh! Not bad.. I guess you'll have to be angry more often.." Axel smiled down at him. Demyx's eyes reflected Axel's face almost perfectly. Demyx chuckled, "I guess so.." Axel leaned forward and kissed Demyx on the nose. It was turning a bright pink from the cold, and was too cute to resist. "Your so cute!" Axel teased. Demyx looked away slightly embarrassed, and gave Axel a face full of snow.
Laughter was ringing in the air shortly after, as Axel shook his face rid of the snow. "Hey! I'll get you for that!" he growled. Demyx smiled up at him. "Oh you will?" His brow raised. Axel smiled that smile. "…Is that a challenge Demyx?" Demyx shook his head. "Oh no! no! How could I ever challenge you?"
"Yeah, see that's what I thought." Axel smiled, and gave Demy a peck on the lips. Demyx stopped talking and looked at Axel for a long time. Both seemed to lose themselves in each others gaze, but only found themselves shortly after kissing each other in the snow.
A curtain shut violently on the two of them, as Roxas couldn't bear to watch them be happy. After all.. What was he?
