Hey peoples! Just want to take some time to thank all the people who have read and/or reviewd . If you don't believe how much I appreciate it, just ask any my friends. And without further ado, episode two!


Episode Two: Of Spies and the Information they Provide

Xemnas opened his eyes and yawned. Another day had started, another day to go through, not quite satisfied with the way things were going. Yes, he should be, but that's how it would've been before. Before he had felt her presence.

He was getting better at paying attention to everything that was happening around him, and what people were saying to him, even while he felt her eyes on him. But this newfound ability to pay attention replaced his ability to sleep. He had been waking up earlier and earlier, and always her presence was there when he woke up. Xemnas had gotten used to this and came to find comfort in the fact, it was almost as if he had a guardian angel watching over him.

Ever since he had seen Maleficent's picture, Xemnas had been obsessed with finding out more about her. He sent spies, but the information they provided was not what he wanted to know. All they provided was army size, strength, weaknesses, and other would-be useful information. But that wasn't what he wanted to know. Xemnas wanted to know Maleficent herself: her likes, dislikes, favorite food, where she came from, whether her favorite smell was freshly fallen rain, a pine scented forest, or some other fragrance. He thought if he could get this information, it would enable him to feel closer to her.

No matter how hard he tried, Xemnas just couldn't get the answers to these questions. His spies kept bringing in piles, and piles of information, but still none on Maleficent the person. As he clarified the type of information he wanted, he had to be careful. He could not reveal that he wanted the information for his own purposes, to reveal such would reveal weakness and could possibly be his downfall. No, he had to be sneaky. But could he just wait for the right information to just fall into his lap?

The answer was no. He could not wait. Xemnas needed to know more about his angel now. Today he would call in his chief spy and tell him he wanted information on Maleficent the person, no matter the consequences.

Still no one was up by the time he was done dressing. He went through some papers and thought of other ways he could ask for the information he needed, without risk of revealing his intention. Nothing came to mind.

By the time the chief spy came in to relay his most recent information and receive instructions, Xemnas was a bit jittery. As the new information was given to him, he couldn't help but show the disappointment in his eyes.

"Come on, Xemnas, we're doing our best," the chief spy said, noticing Xemnas's discontentment.

"No, you guys are doing a great job. It's just… I need a different type of information. Something more… intimate," did he just say intimate? He hoped he didn't accidentally imply anything…

"Like, the type of underwear she wears?" the chief spy asked, not quite sure what he meant.

"No, of course not," Xemnas started, although thinking to himself that he wouldn't mind knowing this information, "I mean more about her as a person, like what she likes, what her pet peeves are, stuff like that. Little things that may be useful in the long run."

"Ok, whatever you say…"

"It's not your job to question me, go and do what I say!" Xemnas snapped, getting impatient. Xemnas was normally quite a calm individual, but he was getting tired of waiting to know about his watcher. And he knew he would have trouble concentrating on anything else until he knew.

The rest of the day he tried to occupy himself with busywork. He knew he would go insane if he just thought about Maleficent and wonder about how she really is. Xemnas had already started a notebook of everything he knew of her, in code of course. These were things he had deduced himself, nothing he was quite certain about. On the front page her picture was glued. He knew he would just spend hours looking at this book if he did not occupy himself.

It didn't work. Xemnas had ended up looking at his book, gazing at her picture, wondering what thoughts were behind those mysterious eyes of hers. He jotted down a couple more speculations, knowing it would be a day or longer until his chief spy returned with real information.


That's it for this chappy . More to come, especially if you review, they're pretty much my impetus for a new chapter.
