A/N from A.C.: Sorry this is a short chapter. Enjoy it anyway~

"It's not right!" Nero snarled, slamming the door behind him as he walked inside the counselor's office, "It's just not!"

Roxas turned away from the redheaded prisoner that was seated on the couch and locked eyes with the raven-haired man against the door, "Calm down, Nero."

"No! I won't! I just can't take this anymore, Roxy! I can't!" He slid down the door to sit against it and took in a deep, shuddering breath.

The counselor ignored the childish nickname and spoke softly, "Come and sit on the couch so we can talk."

Shaking his head, Nero pressed himself back against the door, "No..."

"Nero..." Roxas narrowed his eyes and spoke sternly, like a mother with her child, "Come over here. We need to talk."

The young prisoner hesitated for a moment before getting to his feet and shuffling over to the couch. He took a seat at the edge of the sofa, keeping himself distanced from the redhead who was seated on the other side.

"Tell me what's wrong, Nero." Roxas glanced at Axel, "I hope you don't mind..." The redhead shook his head and the counselor looked back at the raven-haired man.

"He can't go, Roxy... Don't let him go... He can't leave! No, no! Nothing can change!"

"Wait, who..?"

"Saix!" Nero leaned forward in his seat, his fists clenched in his anger, "You can't send him away! He has to stay here!"

Axel's eyes went wide and he turned to look accusingly at the blond counselor, "You're sending Sai away?"

Roxas put his notepad on his lap before raising his hands in defense, "No! I never said that!"

"But you might!" Nero yelled, unable to calm himself down, "You tell him that he needs to change and behave or you'll send him away to an insane asylum! You... You know he's not getting better. You can't send him away! No one can go! Nothing can change!"

"Why not..?"

"It just can't! He needs to stay! He needs to stay!"

"Calm down, Nero... just calm down for a moment... You need to take deep breaths and explain to me why he can't go."

The prisoner nodded and leaned back against the couch, taking in a few deep breaths. He closed his eyes and ran a hand through his hair. "Okay..."

"So, tell me."

"If Saix leaves... things will change... He is a big part of this prison... If you send him away, there is no telling what may happen..." The crimson eyes cracked open and focused on Roxas.

"It's not up to me if he goes away or not, Nero. That's all up to Mister ShinRa."

Axel spoke up next, "What if we can help him?"

Looking over at the redhead, Roxas arched a brow, "You want to try and fix Saix? I've been meeting with him for over five years and haven't been able to do that."

"No offense, Rox, but you're not his friend. We are, though. We can probably get further than you can."

"I'd love to see that. If you can make him better, I'll try to get ShinRa to let him to stay."

"We just can't lose him..." Nero lowered his voice to a whisper.

Axel nodded, "We can't... I can't lose him again, Roxas. Nero's right. He has to stay here."

Saix slammed his favorite guard up against the wall of the hallway they were walking down. He pressed their lips together in a rough, sloppy kiss. Xemnas' hands tightly grasped the younger man's shoulders and pushed at them, trying to get him away. Saix's tongue quickly and expertly invaded the guard's mouth as soon as he gasped. The burning need for air forced them to break apart a few seconds later.

He licked a long trail up the tanned neck and purred, "Mine..."

"Bastard..." Xemnas panted, "Get the fuck away from me!" He pushed at the blunette's shoulders and shoved him away.

The prisoner grunted low in his throat and stumbled backward, "How dare y-"

"I need backup.." The guard hissed into his walkie talkie, "Hurry up. 07 has to go back to solitary."

"WHAT? !" Saix roared, slamming the guard back against the wall, "You cannot send me back there!"

"Watch it, 07. The more you push me, the longer I have them put you in solitary!"

The blunette dug his claws into the older man's flesh, only to be pulled off of him moments later, "Let go of me! Let go!"

"I don't think so." A guard with shoulder length black hair pulled into a ponytail said. He pulled the prisoner's arms behind his back and held them there, "You keep pushing people, 07."

Xemnas narrowed his amber eyes and growled, "Tseng, just throw him in solitary. I'll tell ShinRa."

The blunette laughed, deep and haunting, "I will get what I want, Xemnas! You know I will!"
