Chapter Seven: Connected…?:

Zexion couldn't help but feel nervous with Xemnas standing so close to him, touching his shoulder. The silver-haired man felt the smaller male's body tense and took it in amusement, smirking a little bit. He slowly lowered his head onto the bookworm's shoulder and slid his hand down the smaller man's chest. He felt the other Nobody's body tense up even more.
"Is this bothering you, Zexion?" the golden-eyed male whispered seductively into the blue-eyed man's ear, blowing his breath on his ear as his hand continued to go lower, staring at the younger male's shocked expression. "What is the…emotion you're experiencing now?"
The Cloaked Schemer could feel his throat clench, silencing him. His dark blue eyes froze as they looked out before him. He felt the silver-haired male's hands trailed down to his hips. His lips were slightly parted from their astonishment, and his arms turned to stone at his sides.
He couldn't believe that the man he almost "felt emotion" for was touching him in such a manner. He knew that this had to be a dream because the man holding him was in "love" with Saix, not him.
"Speechless…Ienzo…?" the golden-eyed man whispered, the name ringing in the smaller male's ears, ripping a gasp from his lips.
My…name…could he have had remembered something because of that…room…?
As his mind was flooding with thoughts as to why the Superior was calling him by that name, his lover's face appeared in his mind. He was smiling and giggling at him, making him remember that he had someone that filled that "hole" that was within in closer than anybody he has ever met.
Demyx…
The silver-haired male watched as the blue-eyed Nobody's facial expression change from a look of astonishment to one of vexation, his lips curling downward in a frown. Before the younger man could say anything, the golden-eyed male pulled away and began walking away, his back to the other Nobody.
"I saw a vision of the past when I visited the 'Room of Sleep'. I would prefer that we arrive there together, but…", the Superior paused, merely glancing over his shoulder to look at the bookworm, "I won't allow it. Instead, the two of us will go to Kingdom Hearts".
The silver-haired man faced his destination and began walking. The dark-haired man watched him and hesitantly followed, not knowing why the Superior was choosing him to go check on Kingdom Hearts with him instead of his lover, Saix.
00000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000

00000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000
As Roxas walked alone down the long white halls, he couldn't help but notice his whole body was still incredibly sore especially his bottom. He tried to blank his mind from thinking back to the reason why his body was physically aching. But the pain forced the memories into his head.
How weak and helpless he was to prevent it and to think that Axel saw the whole thing, hearing his screams. Marluxia's power was great, intimidating him to the point that he couldn't fight back anymore. The key blade's power had finally failed him, and he felt even more helpless when that thought came to mind.
This stupid thing didn't even help me when I needed it most…
He extended his hand out, and within seconds, his Oathkeeper keyblade appeared in his small hands. He stared at it, feeling utterly saddened that even his dependable weapon could not save him. He awakened from his thoughts when he felt something cold slid down his cheeks. Gasping, he wiped his cheek, feeling something cold and slippery on his fingertips. Sapphire orbs looked down and noticed that it was tears wetting his fingers and cheeks.
Am I…crying…?
He continued to walk, searching for the room of portals while pondering on how he was able to cry. Another joined that thought when he felt a very sharp pain in his stomach. He groaned, falling to his knees and landing on his hands. He had never felt this much pain before, and a bead of sweat slid down his forehead.
He stared at the ground, afraid to get up. He felt as if his whole body was tingling as if it were getting ready for something very painful. Then he remembered that he had to get to Axel.
I…have to see him…
Slowly getting back onto his feet, he continued his journey to the room of portals. He wished that he had learned how to create portals himself from someone. He had always had someone create a portal for him.

000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000
Axel couldn't believe his ears. Here the lord of Castle Oblivion, Marluxia, had called him love as if they were lovers. The red head remembered that the first time the mahogany-haired male took him into his bed that he said that this was no more than a simple fuck.
He wasn't able to shake the feeling that was crawling under his skin. He was silent, unable to speak as the words sunk into his skull. He just allowed the gardener to carry him down the hall as his thoughts consumed him. He stared at the walls, also wondering where the more built Nobody was taking him.
"Where are you taking me?" he asked, not even giving him a brief glance.
However, the Graceful Assassin glanced at him before looking before him, "To your room. Your wounds still need to heal…"
The red head growled then scoffed, "I'm fine. Besides, I would be damned if I continue to stay here".
He didn't need to look at the plant-controller to see that he was gritting his teeth, his temper rising. He felt his grip on him tighten and silently feared that the gardener might succumb to violence again.
"Axel…", the mahogany-haired man breathed. "You live in my castle. Therefore, you live under my rules. Insubordinate fools will be punished".
The red head rolled his eyes and sighed heavily. He didn't feel like saying anything else. Soon they stood before his room and the plant-controller opened the door and entered the room. The fire-controller couldn't bear to be in the same room where he had witnessed that horrific transgression. He tried to only stare at the door but the more the other Nobody walked towards the bed in the room the more he saw of the room.
The gardener roughly put the red head in the bed, and before the red head could say one of snappy comments, he placed a gloved hand over the red head's mouth. The red head grabbed the mahogany-haired man's hand tightly in his hands, trying to rip the stronger Nobody's man from his mouth. Green eyes widened to saucers, but the more he struggled the more his eyes narrowed. He watched as the plant-controller before him press his index finger against his lips as if to silently tell his fiery partner to be quiet.
Abruptly, he let the red head go only to receive a glare from him. Obviously, he didn't care as he stood up with a smirk on his face. He sat on the edge of the bed right by the fire-controller who made himself as comfortable as he possibly could with his friend's rapist/his "lover" so close to him. His green eyes stayed glued to the unpredictable gardener whose back was turned to him. He was shocked that the mahogany-haired male was staring at the floor.
"Axel…", he whispered the red head's name calmly, which shocked the red head. "You realize that Xemnas only plans to take Kingdom Hearts all to himself?".
"What…?", the wild-haired male said astonished that the gardener would bring up a topic such as this with him at this time.
Marluxia turned around and placed his hands on either side of Axel to support himself as he laid over him. Staring into his eyes, the red head was really feeling uncomfortable under his emotional blue gaze. It was as if the gardener had put a spell on him because he found his limbs useless ever since they left the garden. The plant-controller's midnight blue eyes were glazed over in emotions, one main being anger.
The fire-controller also saw that the gardener's teeth were gritting from his rising anger. Suddenly, just as quick as he had gotten angry, his whole exterior seemed to cool off. A frown appeared on his elegant features.
"The man you call 'Superior' told me himself that he has never planned to share the hearts that Kingdom Hearts gives to him with the Organization", he said, shaking his head as if to shake away a memory that leaked into his brain.
The red head opened his mouth. The expression on his face clearly was shock, and he was shocked that the gardener seemed so…sad. Before he could say anything, the mahogany-haired male lightly kissed him on the lips and stood up.
He simply watched, transfixed, as the plant-controller waved his hands over him. Soon, he found himself covered in an aura of light green light. He looked down at his body, observing that his burned skin was rapidly healing. He even felt his body's strength return to normal. He was so busy watching his body undergo its healing process (which was so much better and more efficient than other healing processes used by others simply because his pain was immediately relieved and he had all his strength back and then some) that he didn't even notice that the Graceful Assassin had laid out some more clothes for him and had left.

000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000
Demyx unconsciously reached his arms out as if to hold something. His arms met air, and bright blue eyes snapped open. He looked around, still laying on his side in the bed, and noticed that he didn't see the younger blonde anywhere.
Getting up on his feet, he searched the bathroom, closet, under the bed, and every inch of the room only to find that the boy was nowhere to be found. He felt his "heart" quench, and a "false" wave of anxiety overcame him as he gripped the sides of his dirty blonde hair.
Oh, man! I told Zexy that I was the wrong guy for this job! Roxas is gone, and it'll be all my fault if anything else happens to him! I can't even help the ones that are close to me!
After several long seconds, he got himself together, found some clothes to wear, and exited his room to search for Roxas. As he roamed the halls using both his eyes and voice to search for the adolescent, he couldn't help but think that his searching would all be in vain.
He knew that Roxas left to go look for Axel, to go back to him. He didn't wait until the morning to do so, and the older blonde could tell that the youth would rather be with Axel than him. The thought saddened him to the point where he slowed his rapid pace.
He placed a hand on his chest in the area where his heart should've been. Even though he felt not a single heart beat inside, he felt another wave of "emotion" pass through him, and this time it was sadness.
Well…shoot! I thought Nobodies weren't supposed to "feel" emotions, and yet I'm feeling like my body is gonna break down on me because of them…
000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000
The more Roxas journeyed down the unchanging white halls the more he realized how really lost he was. He felt like a complete idiot when he couldn't remember a single thing Axel told him during their tour. All he could recall was the names of the members of Organization XIII and what the door to their rooms looked like.
He continued going, letting the only thing to push him be to find Axel. It felt like he had been walking for hours when in actuality he had only been walking for a couple of minutes. He grew even more vexed every time he made a turn and saw that every single hall he came across looked exactly the same!
How the hell do they find anything around here…!?
"Roxas!"
At the sound of his name, the blonde youth froze in place, clutching the area where his heart should've been. Slowly and steadily, he turned his head towards the way the sound came. Sapphire connected with light blue, and the youth felt even more stupid than he did before.
Before him, he saw the older blonde, the Melodious Nocturne, and the guy he least wanted to see at the time after Marluxia. The older Nobody approached him quickly and was before him in mere seconds. He accepted that he was finally caught, and it's not as if he could go anywhere since he was lost.
Sighing, he said, "Hey, Demyx. Sorry for the scare…".
The sitar-player frowned, standing up straight, "Now, that was just plain rude what you did, Roxas. I was given orders to watch over you until Zexy came to get you…".
Zexy…?
"I said I was sorry, but I already told you that I have to find Axel", the youth said, looking at the ground.
The older blonde stopped to take a good look at the boy's face. He looked tired and saw that his big sapphire eyes were fuzzy red at the bottom. He could only assume that the boy had been crying, and he saw that his eyes were only slightly watery.
Frowning, he stepped even closer to the teen, touching the youth's soft cheek with his gloved hand. The keybladist stared at him, wondering what he was doing as they stared at each other. The older male looked saddened for some strange reason.
"Would you please come back with me? There you'll be safe…and with me…", the water-controller said, looking at nothing else but the deep pools of sapphire before him.
The youth's gaze shifted a little after seeing the intensity in the older male's eyes. He knew that he couldn't bare to go back with the Melodious Nocturne when Axel is still in that nightmare of a castle with that bastard of a Nobody.
Finding his voice, he said, "I'm sorry. I can't. My conscious won't let me stay here any longer".
This time, the sitar-player's gaze shifted. He knew that the youth would say that but actually hearing it was another thing. He felt his throat clench as his next "heart-wrenching" question popped into his head.
He found the courage to speak quicker than he thought, however, "Roxas…do you…love Axel?".
Roxas paused, looking at the floor. To hear a Nobody ask another Nobody does he even have emotions was much. He searched his mind, remembering how much fun he had with both Demyx and Axel. Sure, he had more fun with Demyx, but he connected with Axel more.
Connected…?
He didn't know exactly what he meant by that word, but he knew that he didn't want to leave Axel's side whether it was time of crisis or just a casual day. He concluded that that must mean he must've felt something for the red head even if it was false emotions.
Finally, he looked back at the older blonde and said, "Demyx, I don't know what this feeling is that I feel inside of me, but I know that I feel strongly for him and only him".
The water-controller let his arms fall to his side as his eyes fell to the floor.
He whispered, not even looking at the younger blonde, "I see…".
Roxas merely stared open-mouthed at Demyx. He couldn't possibly tell the sitar-player 'Hey, I don't feel the same for you, but I had a blast with you!'. Shaking his head of his thoughts, he continued walking blindly for his destination, the Proof of Existence.
He looked over his shoulder to see the older blonde slowly turning around. He didn't have the heart either to tell him that he was lost and to show him where the room of portals was so he kept walking without looking back a second time to see if the older blonde was okay.
Demyx felt crushed. He wished that these false emotions wouldn't hurt him so bad. He created a portal and entered it. He found himself in his sanctuary, his pool. He sloppily walked over to the lockers, pulled out his own swimming trunks, put them on, and hopped into the pool.
He came to the surface for a breath of fresh air. He leaned back against the pool edge and let out a long sigh. He still "felt" hurt by Roxas's words.
I thought that if I lost my heart and soul, I wouldn't ever feel this way again…but here they are again, saying "Hello"…
He let his foot slip as he sunk himself underwater, purposely making himself sink to the bottom of the 10-foot pool. He was able to hold his breath for a very long time usually, but this time he let his body do what it wanted.
He soon found water filling his lungs. He coughed, causing even more water to slip inside of his mouth. He didn't care as he sunk lower in the pool until he got the bottom. Before he knew it, he began coughing up a putrid black liquid. He assumed that it must've been his "blood" since it came from his nose also.
As the water filled his lungs, he stared at the light that he saw. He reached his hand out towards it, making no effort to move toward it, and smiled sadly. He wondered how long he would last in the water and how long he would see that light before the putrid black liquid block his sights of it.
00000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000
Zexion had been to see Kingdom Hearts many times before, but every single time, the sight of the huge heart in the middle of the colossal black sky took him aback. Xemnas had gotten use to it over time and looked over shoulder to catch the look of pure awe on the gray-haired Nobody's face as they journeyed up the steps.
The Superior couldn't help but stare. He had always found the little genius to be attractive, not only because of his boundless intelligence despite his youth but also his exterior form.
The Cloaked Schemer had soft pink lips that poked out as he looked around. His figure was small, lithe, but he had the power to drive his enemies insane with his illusions and words. His dark gray hair fell in soft pretty locks in front of his pretty face, covering up one of his tantalizing midnight blue eyes. This made the other one stand out even more, if possible. The silver-haired man also noticed that way the bookworm's hips swayed as he walked. It was almost feminine but not quite.
The silver-haired male smirked as he turned his attention before him. Soon, they were at the top of the steps and staring full-throttle at the enormous size of Kingdom Hearts. Xemnas stopped in the middle of the platform, and Zexion stood right by his side with his arms folded, trying to act unimpressed.
"Zexion", the Superior breathed, earning the smaller male's attention and reaching his arms out toward the floating object, "look upon my Kingdom Hearts. See how much it has grown over the years. It takes your breath away, does it not?".
Zexion huffed, closing his eyes and looking at the ground, "I've seen it many times, Master. It's beautiful, but not worth picking up my jaw every single time I see it".
Xemnas looked away from the object to stare at Zexion; a smirk playing on his features, "Oh…? Is that so…?".
Zexion remained silent as his eyes stayed closed. He began to think of other things unaware of Xemnas coming toward him. Midnight blue eyes snapped open when he felt someone grab his chin and pull it to face somewhere. The Cloaked Schemer found his eyes looking into the fierce golden eyes of the Superior who was now very close to him.
"Are you attracted to me, Zexion?", the silver-haired man boldly asked, causing a very unnoticeable pink blush to appear on the gray-haired male's cheeks.
The smaller Nobody broke their gaze as he looked off, scowling, "Why would you ask such a thing, Master?".
"Well, you are basically one of very few who call me 'Master'. You report everything to me. You even have the audacity to interrupt my lover and me in the heat of passion to report something that you that I know would already happen. You fallen out of 'love' with 'Lord' Marluxia?", the tanned-skin Nobody said as he came in deathly close to the blue-eyed male, breathing on his soft pink lips that he yearned to taste.
The bookworm couldn't help but be transfixed by the Superior's voice, words, and closeness. His mind was heavily clouded until the words "love" and "Marluxia" popped up in the same sentence, and his head partially came out of the clouds.
"Marluxia…? You think I…love that abomination of a Nobody?", the gray-haired male choked angrily, looking back into the golden orbs before him.
"I don't see why you don't think that I think that, Zexion", was the first thing the golden-eyed male sighed. "I gauged your reaction when Saix spoke of Marluxia's termination. You were hesitant, almost scared".
"You gauged my reaction wrong, and wrongly assumed that I am attracted to the enemy. Only that new boy, Roxas, Larxene, and Axel are closely affiliated with Marluxia, not I", the bookworm stated harshly and angrily.
"Hm…", was all the Superior said as he roughly released the smaller male's cheek from his tight grip.
The bookworm clasped his now red chin and glared at the silver-haired man who turned around and reached his arms out towards Kingdom Hearts again. He continued to glare at the Superior's backside, feeling slightly hurt at the fact that he was so rough to him. The Superior had never been so callous with his "little Ienzo".
"Then I have no further use for you at the time. Here, I thought I would put you to some greater use. I see that unfortunately I have wasted my time even touching you. This trip… was a waste of time", the Superior stated harshly.
The bookworm silently gasped, letting his jaw drop only an inch. The silver-haired male had never been so cruel towards him either. He didn't understand. Frowning, he almost felt a little hurt. However, he played it off very well as he stood erect with his gaze to the ground.
"Well, Master, could I do something to please you?", he asked through gritted teeth; his hair falling to cover his angry-mixed-sad face.
Keeping his position, Xemnas glance back at Zexion to see if he was still behind him, "Put Roxas in his room".
"Yes, Master", was all the gray-haired male said as he disappeared in a portal he created.

A/N: Omg, it's been soooooo long since I have updated! I have been lazy again, but I finally was able to get this out to you guys. I finally thought of a plot to this story (lol), and I should update soon if I am done updating my other stories. I don't know though, but I'll try. Anyway, there's many "emotions" going around, isn't there? Please review, and you'll see what else happens with Roxas, Axel, Demyx, Zexion, Xemnas, Saix, etc. Lol.
