Well, chapter 5...
- - - - - - - - - -
It seems the hours turned to days...
Days to weeks...
Finally weeks to years...
It shocked Xigbar, as he sat at his dark balcony. It seemed that only yesterday, he and Xehanort had wandered onto the white beach, the sun setting into a new day that was destined to collapse in the darkness.
He felt back to there last days, and realized what fools they had all been. How ignorant they were, and what there foolish ways had done to them.
- - - - - - - - - -
"What...do you mean master?"
Master Ansem had called Xehanort in for a private meeting, but Braig could not help but listen in, curious. He had slowly followed him and amazingly made it However, suddenly, he felt a horrible turn in his gut as Ansem spoke.
"What I mean, Xehanort" Ansem said gruffly, then cleared his throat, "- is that, I have been conducting some important research about the heart. I have stumbled on a place where I seem to be stuck... Really, my boy, I need to commit some ...experiments on a," he paused and then quietly said, "- a real heart."
He listened to silence. Horrifying silence.
"You want to experiment on...mine?"
Braig felt himself pray to the gods that Ansem would laugh that deep laugh and say no...
"Yes, my boy that was what I was hoping."
Braig felt terror fill his veins, ice cold and undaunted, swimming through him as he was frozen in place.
All he could was hold his breath...
"What kind of...experiments?"
And Ansem went on saying things Braig could not hear. All he could do was drop down, his back to the wall, and contemplate what was happening...
"Of course I trust Braig!"
Xehanort had just shouted this, and Braig turned his back to the door, numb.
"How do you know what will happen..." Ansem sighed, and Braig heard him walk towards Xenahort, who was obviously furious.
"I mean...what will he do if something goes wrong, if you're not what he expected, he'll leave you, got back to his wild ways and never think a moment about you, not even on your death bed..."
This caused a smacking noise, which Braig realized immediately, Xehanort had punched Ansem. Hard.
"Don't you DARE say that he does not love me, you bastard! What would you know about love, being cooped up in this lab! He will never leave me!" Xehanort was furious; Braig could hear things crashing...
Then finally, Ansem yelled those utterly terrifying words that ruined everything.
Everything.
"Then maybe you should go ask him how much he loves you, just ask him and see what he says!.he doesn't care about you, Xigbar is a wild man who just likes to break hearts! Love is nothing to him, just ask." Then Braig heard Xehanort stop, and suddenly the door opened, and Xehanort ran out, not seeing his love as he slumped to the ground, in tears.
- - - - - - - - - -
His heart was heavy, and he stopped thinking before that horrible day went on. He just closed his eyes and drifted off, very far into his mind, trying to forget...
He felt himself suddenly filled with terror; he realized he was teetering on the edge of that white balcony, that terrifying black depth below him, calling. All he wanted was to fall, and never feel again...
But he realized, he could not do that. He could never leave.
Xigbar had made a promise.
And he would never break it.
------------------------------------------------
It was dinnertime, and now Xigbar could not help but wonder what was going to happen. He walked into the large dinning room, and stared at the man at the head of the long table, who he had been avoiding for days.
Xigbar, was, as was Xemnas in there nicer robes, silk, gold and silver threading, Xigbar's hair was down, falling around his face. His yellow eyes seemed to jump out.
The rest of the members were coming back, he was not sure why they were having this dinner though, they were all just told to come.
Xigbar sat down at the other end of the long table. He gazed over as the sorcerer nobodies glided in, setting everything up. He watched as Xemnas quietly asked them to leave. The dinning room was the only room that looked nothing like the castle. Its wall's were a deep red, its floor a warm marble. Satin curtains falling from the beautiful silver window, encasing the whole wall. The golden chandeliers, shining above, sparkling against the ivory ceiling. The cherry table embellished with gold and draped in a rich purple silk.
He watched Xemnas eyes wander over and silently gaze to the window. Outside was the stretching view to that barren sea...
- - - - - - - - - -
"Why do you love the ocean so much?" Braig asked as they sat on the white beach, in the middle of the night, entwined in each other's arms.
"Why do you love sunset's so much?" Xehanort asked softly. Looking into his love's eyes, Braig remembered.
"They remind me of you." Braig said and kissed Xehanort's forehead.
"So does the ocean." he said, settling back into Braig's arms, as the watched the blue waves rise and fall.
- - - - - - - - - -
Then through the dark wooden doors, the brass doorknob twisted, revealing the lower order members, Larxene, Marluxia, and Demyx, they were soaked.
He looked at them, and wondered what in the world Demyx had done this time.
"Geez, what happened to you three?" Xigbar said, leaning back against the table.
"Well-" Larxene started, but Demyx hushed her.
"Nothing, I just forgot your birthday present in Atlantica!" And he proceeded to run over and jump into Xigbar's lap.
"Happy Birthday Xiggy!" he yelled and handed him a simple purple box with golden ribbon.
And Xigbar realized it was his birthday. He had completely forgotten. Now he knew why they were having the dinner.He was bit solem until he saw the box, and then grew excited.
"Thank you Demyx!" he said elatedly, he loved presents, and started to open it, but Demyx stopped him.
"Not till everyone comes, that's why were having the party silly!"
"But I love presents!" and he whined a bit when he sat the present down on the chair to his left.
Marluxia walked over as Larxene cursed to Demyx and started walking out.
"Well, were going to go change, we'll be right back." Marluxia stated as he brought over two more packages and set them on the chair.
"Happy Birthday Xigbar!" the three said as they left through the doors
As they left, Xigbar knew why he had forgot his birthday.
He had not slept for days.
Shortly they came back and so did all the others, one by one bringing their gifts.
"Well," Axel said standing after Roxas had finally slipped in.
"I think were all here, so let's have a toast to our best bud, Xigbar! Happy Birthday" And they all raised their glasses. The crystal clinked and gleamed under the light as their glasses lightly bumped each other, and let everyone to a nice drink.
They laughed and ate and finally, Xigbar could open his presents.
Roxas had gotten him a new rifle, his name engraved in it in silver. Larxene had gotten him bullets charged with electricity, sure to stun anyone in his way, especially Demyx she stated, suggestively. Marluxia had given him two rose bushes, saying their needles could be used as poisonous bullets. Luxord had said that he had wiped out the munny that Xigbar owed him (Thank god), and gave him his best set of cards. Demyx had given him a basic sunburst guitar, which Xigbar had always wanted to learn to play, and Demyx said he would teach him. In the small box was a special pick he had especially made in Atlantica, it caused Xigbar's music to also effect water, making a sort of water show when played well (How original) Yet he was ecstatic and wanted to play immediately.
Axel gave him a set of silver rings set with gemstones, each creating a different firepower when used right. He also gave him a purple silken ribbon to keep his hair back, embroidered with his name, saying a 'friend' made it. Saix had given him a sort of device that would make his guns be effected by the moon, and would cause their bullets to double in strength. He really hated Xigbar, but he would not make a scene here.
Finally, his friends came forward! Zexion had a chess set, the squares purple amethyst and marble white. The pieces were in silver, jeweled with rubies. They were intricately carved to some of Xigbar's favorite things. Zexion said he and the silversmith in Traverse Town spent hours on it. Xigbar and Zexion loved to play chess and it made him very happy to remember all the days they had spent playing.
Lexaeus came forward and gave him a little clock he had made, it was out of a reddish crystal, and it had a phoenix flying around the base of the clock itself. The carving he said was done by some earth he had manipulated into tools, and had worked on while he was bored on missions. They had a joke together that Xigbar never woke up, no matter what you do, so the clock, thanks to Axel, actually spewed out a slight flame when set, and turned to steam, causing a high pitched whistle noise.
Then Vexen gave Xigbar his favorite book in the world, "The Moonstone". It was leather bound, and had engravings in gold on the front and back, he said he did himself, and added in drawings to Xigbar's favorite parts of the story, being notorious for his artwork. Lastly, a painting of a sunset, knowing Xigbar loved them.
Xaldin gave him their old football that they had fought over who really owned it was for years and said he was sorry, and realized it was Xigbar's after all, following talking to Zexion.
Xigbar loved all their gifts and tried all the weapons, and found them quite useful. He played a little song with the help of Demyx, causing the water in the cups to swirl slightly. He also read his and Vexen's favorite part of the books, in awe at the pictures he had drawn and the embroidery he had done. He played a fast round of chess with Zexion, and beat him by having Demyx pour water on Zexion's head, which caused him to run out to fix his hair before Larxene electrocuted him. He also played football with Xaldin and Lexaeus.
After more fun, it got late, and everyone said there goodbyes and gave hugs as they headed upstairs to their separate rooms to leave Xigbar and Xemnas alone in the now candlelit room, glowing heavenly.
"Well?" Xigbar asked, almost casually as he watched Xemnas rise and walk towards the door.
It was a tense moment, the glowing room, the two of them who had not talked all night, or for days. Xemnas walked forward, and sat down in the chair next to Xigbar. He stared at him, peircing his eyes.
He looked gorgeous, the warm candlelight surrounding them, the rain falling, and his breath began to slow.
And then he rose.
Xigbar watched as the body before him regained posture, and the mask flew back in its place. And he waited.
"What?" Xemnas asked staring at the door.
Xigbar felt something crack under the pressure, and all the steam and pain inside started to whistle out.
"So", Xigbar said standing, now angry, and livid, "Not even a present?" he hissed as he started to shake in rage.
Xemnas was silent.
"Well?" Xigbar yelled as he threw his glass at the wall, shattering the tranquil silence..
"Xigbar!" Xemnas yelled, turning around swiftly and grabbing hold of Xigbar's arms, only making Xigbar more distressed.
"Let me go! You bastard, after everything, everything!" He screamed at Xemnas, and Xemnas just let go. He was stunned, and Xigbar finally felt everything boom out as he stalked towards the man before him, walking him slowly back against the dark windows.
"I love you," he rasped out shaking, and then a growing fire of fury inside finally unleashed. "You're everything to me! I need you! But you, you won't love me back!" he cried yelling at Xemnas, grabbing hold of him, "Why!" He screamed, now shaking Xemnas, "Why don't you love me anymore! Why do you want to break my heart!" he said pleading tears in his eyes.
"Why!" he yelled one last time before he saw Xemnas break and the tears fall down his cheeks, the mask going away as the great wall's a of steel fell at Xigbar's harsh words.
"Because I don't have one!" Xemnas yelled back, facing him, with empty eyes.
"I cant feel. And honestly, I don't want to!"
Xigbar then ran out, not even looking at Xemnas. Leaving him alone, in the room, the floor streaked with there own blood and glass.
And Xemnas could not do anything in his power to feel guilty.
And the candles finally went out.
