------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Xigbar felt the empty castle halls tremble with the thunder rolling outside in the never-ending nightscape, ever reminding Xigbar about where he stands. In darkness.
Alone in Darkness.
Alone. It haunted him, kept him awake, falling into the depths of his mind, where even he can't face himself. Where even he can't find his soul, his mind.
His heart though. That was there. Under lock and key, still part of him, beating fighting. But, he was not in possession of his key. No. hed given that away. And he was sure it was lost.
Forever...And yet...
He still felt it.
The rightness he felt when he was near him, and the slow breaking of his heart, whenever he was rejected. His thoughts crashed upon the shores of his mind as made his way down to the kitchen, confusion wracking his mind as thunder boomed and lightning crashed. And he just lept down from the depths, to his mind, and came back to his so-called reality...
He passed members, quickly stopping there idle chattering, they immediately grew a little smaller. It was well known that Xigbar's place as second was not just a number. He had power, and some members were not on his keen side. Especially one. However, that had been taken care of ages ago. Scars will do that to a psychopath like Saix.
He found himself wandering into the kitchen and found the 'trio of imbeciles' as he called them, Axel, Demyx, and Roxas. Now they, Xigbar could stand. As they were doing something suspicious looking, Roxas stuck his head up, pulled out a Cheshire cat smile, and yelped "HEY XIGGY!". He was such a kid. Yet, terribly powerful, sometimes it unnerved Xigbar.
"Hey Roxas, Im just wa- what the hell are you guys doing!" Xigbar said as he leaned over Roxas to see a little doll that looked like Zexion, covered in pins, with stuffing coming out, and a little axe in his head.
" Larxene gave this to us, she said it was a Voodoo doll!!" squealed Demyx, poking the dolls left shoulder, then pausing, trying to listen for noise, Xigbar heard a scream.
"Stop that!" he said snatching the doll away and pulling the pins and axe out of it. Then he poured a potion on it, and the stuffing slowly went back in as stitching began to form all over the doll. "What have I told you guys about taking things from Larxene?"
They all chimed together "It's probably Sadist ,and will do something evil like take over the world".
"Exactly, now don't go getting killed , okay little dudes?" he said as he left the kitchen with a drink, planning on taking the doll and Zexion to Vexen before something really weird happened. "Sure thing old Xiggy man!" said Roxas as he got up and ran past, Axel and Demyx followed.
Xigbar headed upstairs and ran into Vexen; he was about say what happened when Vexen interrupted him.
"Already fixed it, he's fine, I sent him to Xemnas, and he said he wanted to see you..." Vexen was silent; he was one of the few who ever knew what had happened between the two of them. "Xi- ... Braig, really, are you sure your okay with what's been going on, me and Zex are a little-" Xigbar cut him off, " I'm fine Vexen, why wouldn't I be, don't worry so much..." he quickly uttered, and patted Vexen on the back and jogged up the stairs heading to Xemnas wing. And he left a worried Vexen standing in the hall, who keep thinking about the sadness he saw cross Xigbar's face, as he swiftly turned the corner.
- - - - - - - - -
He kept thinking about the fact that Vex had called him Braig; he only did that when he was worried. Xigbar knew that nothing was okay. He knew his own smiles had faded, and he had withered down to an empty shell, barely holding on to what he once was. He walked up to the wing that was set just over the barren landscape, windows showing the heart shaped moon bearing over him. Xigbar felt part of him slip away, as he opened those big black doors to find himself in Xemnas office. There sat Zexion, ice pack on his head, hair pulled back, with Xemnas, standing over him.
"Xigbar, welcome. I see you have the doll." Xemnas said coldly, not even raising his eyes. Xigbar felt a tug inside himself as he walked over to Zexion. "I found it with Axel, Demyx, and Roxas; they said Larxene had given it to them." Xigbar said keeping his vision on the dark floor.
"Well, we will have to have a word with her now wont we, "he said to himself, inspecting the doll he took from Xigbar's hand. "You're dismissed." Xemnas quietly said, and Zexion rose, looking towards Xigbar.
Xigbar began to leave the office swiftly ,turning on his heel, hoping to follow Zexion out. However, his heart sank as that voice drawled out.
He was trapped.
"Not you Xigbar, we need to have a word." Xemnas said dryly, turning his head back from standing over his desk. Xigbar froze as he saw Zexion turn, and look at him with a worried expression before he stepped outside.
"Yes Xemnas, you wanted a word with me," he repeated turning and slowly walking forward staring off into the distance. Xemnas office was not like the rest of the castle, it was dark, with wooden floors, and maroon walls. Large chandeliers and large glass windows, staring out at the ocean. Just as he always loved it...
Xemnas did not move at all, just stood there and peered outside inches from the window, searching for something. "I need you to go tell the members were having a meeting, well meet in an hour, tell Roxas to leave on his mission early, this subject doesn't concern him, and he has more pressing matters." He said turning and setting the doll down on the table.
Xigbar stood through all of this, Xemnas talked to him as if they barely knew each other, as if everything in the past had been forgotten. However, he knew it hadn't forgotten, even though Xemnas acted that way.
What hurt most of all though was that Xemnas didn't seem to care how it effected the man he once loved.
He felt pain well up in him, and he could no longer look at his one time lover. Only feel the heart that was supposed to be in him break, entirely. He saw his hands shake as Xemnas turned to him. He always hoped one day, it would come back to him.
However, he knew it never would
"For our mission to work, we need everything to run smoothly." He said.
Damn the mission. Hed lost everything. His soul, his life, and his love to this damned experiment. Now, they were nothings, nobodies. The price they paid. But he felt his was so much greater.
And as he left, he turned to Xemnas, and closed the door, leaving Xemnas in his empty office, he felt the pain of his burden.
He still had his heart.
But Xemnas...No, Xehanort had the key.
