Xybaile: Hey can I-

Me: No, you cannot kill Xion.

Xybaile: ... Dang it.

Me: -_- Just say the disclaimer.

Tikal: I'll do it while Xybaile's trying to get out of Irmax's grip because she tried to sneak away and kill Xion. Violet Eclipse 1314 does not own Kingdom Hearts.

Me: Than- wait XYBAILE! Oh, and sorry if it sucks I wrote it in one day.^-^ NOW GET BACK HERE XYBAILE!

Chapter 8: The Secret Has Been Revealed

"C-can you repeat that?" I stuttered, begging in my head to have heard him wrong.

"I'm dating Xion." Roxas repeated. "You think I'm crazy right? That Nobodies don't have a heart."

I didn't answer his question. I got up and left him, letting my ice cream fall to the ground. "Xybaile wait!" I heard him run after me. I opened the corridor and walked in. I felt the warm, salty tears beginning in my eyes. I fought to hold them back while keeping my hazel eyes clear.

"Xybaile! What's wrong?" Demyx said as I passed him on the way to my room. I had become quick friends with lazy sitar player, but even he didn't know why I would be crying.

I walked past him with a quiet, "Nothing you'd understand. Sorry." I felt his gaze burn into my back as I walked down the hall into my room. I closed and locked my door before collapsing on my bed, letting my tears fall.

Roxas's POV

What is with her? Fine one minute, I tell her my and Xion's secret, and she gives me the cold shoulder and leaves! I ran after her but she didn't even turn around. I ran through the corridor and found Xion in her room. 'I'll get her to talk to Xybaile!' I quickly thought. "Hey, Xion. Can you do me a favor?"

"What's up?" Xion got off of her bed and walked over to me.

"I told Xy our secret an-"

"You told her? Smarter choice than telling Axel." Xion remembered how he crushed us together in happiness.

I felt the pain in my back return remembering that and continued, "Yeah, and now she won't talk to me! Can you find out why?"

Xion looked at me for a second and said, "Sure. I'll go see."

"Thanks." I smiled as she walked into Xybaile's room.

I heard a few muffled yells but I didn't pay enough attention to hear what they were saying. A few minutes later, Xion walked out and said, "I know why."

"Well?"

"I'm not telling you." Xion smiled innocently.

"What? Why not?" I begged.

Her smile grew and she said, "You're such a boy." She walked ahead of me.

"Hey! What do you mean by that?" I ran up to her.

"Do you really want me to tell you?"

"Y-No."

Xybaile's POV

'I can't believe it! She beat me to him. How come my life is so weird?' A knock on my door interrupted my thoughts. I whipped away my tears as Xion walked in.

"You okay Xy?" She asked.

"Get out!" I yelled at her when she closed my door.

"But-"

"Get out! You're part of the reason I'm like this! Get out!" I threw my pillow at her, cursing at her a mile a minute in my head.

"Listen to me Xy!" Xion yelled, her blue eyes blazed. I shut up but continued to glare at her. "You like Roxas like I do, don't you?" Xion asked.

"..."

"Answer me!" The tone Xion used was one I never heard from her so I reluctantly answered.

"Yes." I refused to make eye contact now. I felt Xion glare into the side of my face because I turned my head away from her. Out of the corner of my eye, I saw her leave with a mad look on her face but turned it into a normal look as she closed my door. I ran over and put my ear against the door. 'Please don't tell him. Please don't tell him.' I silently begged. Xion talked with Roxas for a second but then walked away by the sound of her footsteps. I breathed a sigh of relief. I walked back over to my bed and plopped down on it. I began, much against my will, to remember the times I had with Roxas. The faintest smile played on my lips as I remembered one.

"This one time, Axel almost burnt my hair off!" Roxas said between his laughs.

I laughed harder, if even possible, and managed to say, "How'd he do that?"

"He was playing with fire and some accidently shot in my direction." Roxas pretended to duck and pretended his hand was fire and a tip got his hair. "I ran around looking for water when Demyx sprayed me to put it out.

I laughed so hard that when I bent forward, I lost my balance. My eyes widened and I stopped laughing. I yelped and slid off the tower. "XY!" Roxas yelled and grabbed my hand. He slowly helped me up and I clung to his arm when I got back up. "Are you okay?" I saw worry in his blue eyes and the faintest hint of pink on his cheeks.

"I-I think so." I mumbled. Roxas suddenly pulled me into a deep hug and clung onto me. "R-Roxas?"

"Don't ever do that again." He breathed in my ear, sending shivers down my spine.

I hugged him back and said, "I wont. I promise."

I felt the tears come again, knowing that that promise I made was just a promise for a friend, someone who didn't feel like I did. I heard another knock on my door followed by Demyx's voice saying, "Yo Xy, can I come in."

"Yeah." I said to one of my best friends.

His eyes glittered with worry. "Xion said I should come talk to you. What's up?" He sat on my bed next to me.

I hugged him and broke down. "If I told you something, would you not call me crazy and not tell anyone?" I felt Demyx shake his head up and down. "Roxas loves Xion, but he d-doesn't see how I feel. I love him but he doesn't like me more than a friend." I sobbed, getting Demyx's shirt wet.

"That's got to suck." Demyx said in a sympathetic tone. I shook my head in agreement. "I agree that we might not have a heart, but the feelings are still there. Just because they don't have a certain place to reside in, doesn't mean they're gone completely. It's just subtle until they show themselves an-"

I felt my body grow weak and my eyes close. Soon, I had cried myself to sleep.

Demyx's POV

As I was purposely rambling on about feelings with out a heart, I felt Xybaile's grip weaken and then heard her breathing softly. I breathed a sigh of relief and laid her out on her bed. "Goodnight Xybaile. Sweet dreams."

Me: Aw, Demyx, you can show care for more than just your sitar.

Demyx: ^-^ wait hey!

Me: ^-^ Kidding.

Xybaile: HOW DARE YOU NOT LET ME GET ROXAS! D: *Pulls out her weapon*

Me: 0.o R&R AND I'LL UPDATE IF I EVER GET BACK ALIVE! *Runs away*
