Chapter 4: The Nightly 'Check-In'

"T-this… this isn't me.." I said to the reflection of me, shaking my head to see if the image wasn't real. I put my hand on the mirror.

"I-It really is…. How…?" I said, letting my hand fall back to my side.

My hair was jet-black, and it fell to the back of my knees. There were highlights that were a light, pale blue flowed from various places in my hair. My eyes were a deep hue of violet. My nails were now a black color with little jewels on the ring fingers. I had a diamond nose piercing. My body was its original size and height, but I had more muscle and physique. My bust had obviously gotten bigger, because I remember my bra feeling very tight on me. I was sort-of darker, but almost close to my original skin.

"Does getting your heart taken change your appearance, too?" I asked, knowing I wouldn't get an answer.

I felt tired. So, I walked out of the oh-so amazing closet, and closed the door behind me. It was dim in the room, only the moonlight from Kingdom Hearts beaming in. The room felt eerie, and everything was so still. The room felt warm, and it started to make me sleepier. So I walked over to the bed, and plopped on it. The large bed was very soft and warm. I pulled myself to the nearest pillow, and laid my head on it. I closed my eyes, and I fell asleep.

-Xemnas' P.O.V.-

I heard her scream a while ago, but I didn't go check. Then everything was silent. Either something bad happened, or she went to bed. But, I wasn't taking any chances. So, I put on black jeans (no shirt at all), walked out of my room quietly, and closed my door silently. The hallway was completely silent: a sign that everyone was either sleeping or at least in their rooms. Good, I thought. I walked down a door, and I found her door. I opened it as silently as possible, walked in, and closed it just as silent as I did before. The room wasn't well lit; only the moonlight from Kingdom Hearts peeked in from the window. I saw a dark figure on the bed.

It should be her, I thought.

I walked over, and I saw long strands of hair hanging off the bed. Her eyes were closed. I sat on her bed gently, making sure I didn't sit on her hair. I stared at the blankness of the room.

"Why do you have to be so interesting to me, Dexna? Is it because… I love you? Or that I knew you once?" I whispered.

I looked at her sleeping body, it shining in the little light. Then I noticed what she was wearing. It was a short, silk black nightgown that went down to mid-thigh.

God, that's hot, I thought.

Her body shifted, and then turned to the other side. But, I accidently sat on a bit of her hair, and she pulled it as she moved.

"Ugh… Ow… Wha… who's that…?" she said.

She looked up at me. "Oh my… Xemnas… what are you doing in my room? I thought you were asleep…" she asked, trying to sit up.

I got up, and then sat back down. "I heard you scream a little while ago, and then it was all silent. So I came to check if you were alright," I told her the truth.

She finally sat up, and her black hair drooped all around her. "That's sweet of you to come and check, but I'm fine. I screamed because of how big the closet was," she said, laughing a little.

She moved her knees, and wrapped her arms around them. She rested her head on them.

"Xemnas?" she said my name.

"Yeah?" I said, looking at her.

"How did you become a Nobody?" she asked quietly.

"I honestly don't remember. It happened so quickly, I just don't remember how it happened," I told her.

I looked at her, and she looked at me. Her violet eyes were almost luminescent when the moonlight hit them.

I felt arms come around my neck.

"Thank you," her voice whispered in my ear.

Then I felt a small kiss on my cheek. Her arms let go of my neck, and her face was near mine. Even without the dim light, I would've seen the small blush that appeared on her cheeks.

Without thinking, I kissed her on the lips.

Her eyes widened in surprise when she must've realized I was kissing her.

But then they closed, and she kissed back.

I broke the kiss, and I stared into her eyes. Her hand was on my cheek.

How will she react? I asked myself.

She smiled. "That was the best first kiss I've ever had," she said.

OOH LALA! I simply love it! Oi, I hope you have enjoyed it so far! And no, unfortunately, this isn't going to be a lemon (possibly it might, if the viewers want it!)..
