Xenta stood in a large dark office, a small frown disrupting her pretty features. Why would Xemnas want to see her? As soon as she'd gotten back from the previous mission, she'd stalked off to her room. O one came for her the next day, and when she went searching for Axel, he was nowhere to be found. It was as though he was avoiding her.
Luckily, or not so luckily depending on how you looked at it, he was with her now. Along with others. Roxas and the redhead stood on one of her, and two more organisation members were on the other. Vaguely, she remembered the pink haired one was called Marluxia, the man's room she'd ended up in by accident before. But the silver haired boy was a mystery. Excluding Roxas and herself, he looked the youngest member she'd seen here, a year older than herself if that. Then again, it was only thanks to Saix telling her that she'd learnt that she was almost 16. He could have been wrong though.
They all seemed to stand up straighter as Xemnas entered the room, taking a seat behind his desk, before looking at everyone. It was strange to see him without Saix by his side.
"I have a little experiment that I need your help with" He began, and Xenta could tell this was going to be a long speech. "As you know, nobodies like ourselves can not feel emotions, though can still remember them, with the exception of you two-" He said, inclining his head towards the newest recruits. "As I have been observing several of you together before now", What was that meant to mean? Xemnas was spying on them? That was ridiculous. "So, I shall be asking you several things, and want your honest answers". Everyone standing infront of the desk gave a small nod, confused expressions on the older nobodies' faces. "Now I want to know what you feel towards each other, be that remembering old feelings or nothing" Axel pulled a slight face at this, resulting in Marluxia's snide comment,
"What's wrong Axel, do you not like to remember emotions?" The redhead didn't bother to reply however, and everyone turned to look at the first stood in line. Roxas.
"I don't know. Axel's my friend, but I don't think I feel anything towards him." Said the blonde, looking around almost nervously.
"Do you have any emotions towards Xenta?" Roxas glanced over at the younger girl, giving a small shrug.
"Don't think so" Xemnas seemed to think it over before peering down at the younger two.
"Kiss her" He said, a small smile playing on his lips. What? Did he just say kiss her? What kind of freaky pervey things was he into? Xenta looked up raising an eyebrow, not understanding how that would help. So she was mildly surprised to feel, well, surprise. And wrong. When Roxas kissed her, it didn't make sense, at all, but it definitely didn't feel right. As she glanced over at the blonde form infront of her, it was obvious he felt the same. It really didn't make sense…
"Well?" Xemnas questioned after several seconds had past.
"Wrong" Replied Xenta, "It… it was like…" she paused not being able to come up with the right words. Luckily Roxas could,
"Like kissing a sister. It was wrong" Well, whether Xemnas had wanted that result or not, he smiled. Was that a good thing? Unfortunately Xenta didn't get to ask as he'd already turned his attention to Marluxia, who answered without even having to be prompted.
"Axel's arrogance annoys me, I feel nothing towards the boy, and-" he paused, looking over at Xen. She could've sword he'd looked her up and down, but he did it in such a gentlemanly way, she couldn't complain. "Nothing towards her, that isn't physical atleast," he added onto the end, flashing her a charming smile. She wasn't sure whether it was a good or bad thing when she was once again instructed to kiss someone. The unusual thing however, was whilst the pink haired man basically threw himself at her, Xemnas' attention was on neither. He seemed to be preoccupied with the fiery red head stood the other side, a look of anger flickering across his features. Though by the time the younger girl had managed to free herself from Marluxia's octopus like grasp, all emotions had vanished from the red head, leaving him looking like a perfect nobody. It took the white haired man several seconds to look back at the other pair,
"Anything?" He questioned, but didn't sound like he expected an answer. Both shook their heads however, which seemed to confirm his thoughts. No one was expecting his next question to be directed at Axel however. "Did you feel anything?" Well, he sure managed to look surprised, though his face went emotionless again after several seconds.
"Why would I feel anything?" Apparently his answer, or question was enough for their boss, and his attention was then fully on the redhead alone. Why had Axel been questioned about that? All this was so confusing.
"We're nobodies, without hearts we feel nothing" He hadn't answered the question, and everyone in the room he'd said to her earlier. And it still sounded more like he was trying to convince himself. But if Xemnas told him to is her… Admittedly part of her wanted to. Just to prove him wrong ofcourse…
"So you felt nothing then, and nothing towards anyone else in this room?" Xenta hadn't realised she was holding her breath, and attempted to breath out casually. Axel didn't answer again. He couldn't lie to Xemnas. But apparently he could lie to himself.
After what felt like an eternity, but as actually less than a minute, Xemnas gave the instruction, only neither moved at first. They both stood as still as statues, like if they didn't move everyone would forget they were there. Unfortunately that didn't happen.
"Something wrong?" Boss man questioned, sounding rather impatient now. Well, neither of them wanted a to deal with a pissed off Xemnas. Though Axel was slightly slower to move towards the darker haired girl. He didn't say a thing to her, as they stood facing one another. And although Xenta wanted to scream at him that he had to be wrong, she too stayed quiet.
The redhead was the one who initiated the kiss this time. His left hand moving behind her neck and pulling her barely close enough to reach down to her lips. There was an almost strained expression on his features as Xenta's eyes flickered shut. She didn't want to see that, couldn't see that. After several seconds the same warm feeling started to spread again. She vaguely noticed Axel's free hand moving to the small of her back, pulling her closer against him, but was too absorbed in the kiss to move herself.
Axel's P.O.VThe room started to get hotter, and before I could help it there was fire surrounding me and Xenta. I heard the others gasp, and move away slightly, but there was nothing I could do about it. I was in control of this. I pulled Xen closer, the part of my mind still working told me the fire wouldn't burn her, but she would still get hurt. I needed her closer though, I couldn't get close enough. All of this was wrong. So very wrong… Nobodies didn't feel. We couldn't!
Once again it was over far too quickly. But Axel did seem slightly reluctant to pull away this time. Not enough to stop him from dropping his hands as if he'd been burnt though and step away. Neither spoke again, as the younger girl looked up at other, a curious look on her features. He couldn't deny it this time. He had felt something, and she knew it. So why was he now looking completely blank back at her?
"Well?" Xemnas asked, snapping her back to reality. She was about to speak, truthfully, that she had felt something then, but Axel beat her to it. Only he said something else.
"We're nobodies. We feel nothing-" That same perfectly rehearsed phrase. But then he looked directly at Xenta, "I feel nothing" He almost spat, before heading out the door without looking back.
The raven-haired girl stood completely still, unable to move. Unable to think. Unable to do anything. The warm feeling was long gone now, and instead she was left feeling numb and empty. Exactly how it should be, right?
"You two may leave" Xemnas instructed to Marluxia and Roxas, who didn't need to be told twice and left. That just left herself and the silver haired male that had been forgotten about until now… the one she didn't know. Why couldn't she leave? Her unspoken question was answered within seconds though,
"This, is Zexion, he's going to help with one more experiment" Xemnas said, before nodding to the silver haired boy and leaving the room. What was going on? What was this other 'experiment' that caused her and… Zexion to be alone? Frowning Xenta looked towards the other in the room, about to query her thoughts, only the room starting changing before she opened her mouth. Where'd the office go?
"Uhm, Zexion?" She asked, walking around the new environment. It was dark… and it took her several seconds for her eyes to adjust. It appeared to now be a hotel room..? Where the hell had the office gone? The wall where the office door had been was now gone, and instead the wall was bare.. Where Xemnas' desk had been was replaced with a king sized bed, and the one window that had been on the far wall had also vanished.
"Zexion?" She tried again, spinning around as a hand touched her shoulder. He wasn't that much taller than she was, a few inches if that, with cold ice blue eyes, and a cold smile to match. But he certainly was stronger.
"What's going on?" The raven-haired girl questioned, edging backwards from him. But not fast enough. The next thing she knew he pounced, an was pressing his lips against hers- Hard. Definitely not something that could be classed as kissing. "Zexion?" she almost shouted, though it was futile as she was then pushed backwards, landing ungracefully on the bed. Before she could get another word out, he was ontop of her again. Well, if she'd thought Marluxia's octopus grip had been bad, that was nothing to this. Right now she couldn't move, couldn't breathe. She was being smothered. Zexion had managed to get a solid hold on both Xenta's arms with just one of his, and they were currently stuck above her head. She was trying to push him off, but it was like trying to move a planet.
Zexion's mouth opened as he did his best anaconda impression, which just caused the younger to bite down on her lip to stop him sticking his tongue down her throat. Managing to turn her head to the side and take in a huge breath of much needed oxygen, Xenta let out a scream of protest as Zexion's free hand slid down from her hair to undo her organisation jacket. This couldn't be happening. It just couldn't. But it was.
Letting out another scream, and another, Xen struggled harder as a hand slid up under her shirt, taking the top with it.
Then it all stopped. Zexion was flying backwards towards the wall, a hiss of frustration parting his lips as he collided with it. The bed disappeared from under her, and she was suddenly lying on a desk back in Xemnas' office. Someone was standing over Zexion, his foot pressed hard into the silver boys' chest. Because that's all is way now, a angry boy.
Sitting up slowly, Xenta pulled her top back down, her hands too shaky to do the coat back up yet.
"A-Axel?" She whispered, looking over at the red head. He looked ready to kill. He was ready to kill. Stumbling off the desk, Xenta went over to Axel and put her hand lightly on his arm. It took all of her will power to keep it there, and ignore the heat radiating from him. Her palm was burning, it felt like she'd touched the top of a stove. But it seemed to be the only thing way to get his attention. She wasn't sure what would happen if anything bad happened to Zexion, but she didn't want Axel in trouble because of her.
"Come on" The red head said after several seconds, taking a hold of Xen's arm and pulling her out of the room, his attention finally leaving the younger boy. They didn't stop in the corridor, they didn't stop at all. Not till they were up several flights of stairs and entered the younger girls bedroom. Axel pushed her in first, making sure no one was following before closing the door. Neither spoke for several seconds, the older man examining her with his eyes slowly. Her palm still stung, as did her wrists from how tight the creep had been holding them. But that would all heal. She'd be fine.
"I have to go for a few days, maybe longer. But I'll get Saix to keep an eye on you" She was about to protest, tell him not got go. But that would do no good. Not if they were orders. Giving a small nod, Xen sat down on the bed. She felt numb inside again. Maybe that was becoming a regular event. "Stay away from Zexion" He added, as he left the room. As if she needed telling.
A/N: Ok, I have absolutely no idea why I wrote Axel's part in first person. I just… did. This was a long chapter wasn't it! :P So yeah, this chapter I haven't known about whether to upload or not. But I thought what the hell, so hope you enjoy the chapter, reviews on what you think please Z-Nugget xx
