Ohayo Minnasan, this is animearlinefreak here and I just decided to add another chapter to my new story. I hope you enjoy this one cause not too many of you enjoyed the first one so much. So here is the second chapter! And I really hope I get reviews for this story, I worked so hard on it!
Some of the characters are probably going to be OOC! Just for a friendly warning.
Nobody's Love
Previously on Nobody's Love: Annoyed by their display, Vexen was prepared to leave when he noticed a sad look upon the boy's countenance that was also mixed with a hint of passion to it. Realizing that three different Nobodies he had recently watched shared a one based emotion, the scientist quickly dashed to his laboratory-bedroom to look up something.
Chapter Two: The New Project
As quick as a spark ignites into a flame, Vexen ran toward his bookcase at the back of the room in search of information. Pulling one book out of the shelf, the ashy-blonde skimmed through the pages. His face turned into an expression of dissatisfaction as he tossed the book aside before he scanned the shelf for another one. Sadly it was the same result as he grabbed book after book until there was nothing left on the now bare shelf. Crestfallen due to his lack of information, he slumped his body to the white floor.
"I would think that one of my books would have something based on the definition of passion in my bookcase." Sighing, Vexen had then added, "It seems that I was wrong."
Moments have transpired when the scientist had laid motionless on the ground stumped on what he would do. He knew what emotion was displayed on the three Nobody's faces, but he did not have a sufficient amount of data nor research on the subject completely. Plus, he didn't know who he would test his new experiment on since he clearly didn't want to test it out on himself.
"Now that I think about it who would be the best member to try my theory on?"
"Exactly who would do as a perfect guinea pig."
Jolting from his spot on the floor, the Nobody averted his gaze to the two members that were now in his room. Clenching his teeth, number IV pulled himself off the floor to met face to face with his assistant and his assistant's lackey.
"Haven't you heard of knocking? And why are you here?" Vexen replied, but Zexion just merely rolled his eyes at his crude remark.
"Why should I knock when we both know that I am the assistant and as such is allowed to enter regardless of what you may be experimenting with in here." Zexion let a small ghost of a smile appear on his features before he returned his expression to that of his usual brooding one. He then added as well, "My other reason for being here are under the direct orders of the Superior to help assist you in any way possible."
Vexen growled at Number VI's boastful answer and at Xemnas who wasn't present in the room as he turned away from Zexion in order to collect his books.
Seeing the pile of books on the ground, Lexaeus raised a brown brow.
"So what is with the books?"
Not bothering to shift his eyes toward the giant, Vexen sighed while storing the books back into the bookshelf as he replied.
"I was searching for a book based solely on passion, but I am afraid that I don't have a single book pertaining to that subject." Placing more books on the shelf, he heard a muffled noise that remotely sounded like that of a suppressed laugh. Daring to avert his gaze, he was shocked to see Zexion pressing his gloved hand to his face while his body shook with waves of laughter. If Number VI was trying his best to contain his merriment, he was doing a lousy job for trying to fool Vexen.
"And what is so funny?" He snapped. Baring his pearly white teeth, Vexen appeared like he was about ready to launch himself onto the shortest member of the organization had he not stop his laughing that instant. Fortunately for the scientist, Zexion had ceased his chuckling in order to answer his question.
"I apologize for that, but you see…having you look up something as preposterous as that is quite humorous. Just what are you planning by using passion with one of the organization members?" Quirking a violet-silver eyebrow, he gave Number IV a questionable stare.
" Why it is quite simple. By observing a few of our members I've noticed that there is a connection that seems to bind their hearts strongly from what I have seen from studying their faces. And that emotion that I sense in their gazes is the very feeling of passion." Putting an emphasis to the word passion, Vexen made it so that his explanation was comprehendible for the assistant. And by judging Zexion's expression, the academic understood that Number VI knew where he was going with this.
Gears shifted and turned in the cloaked schemer's mind as he stared off into space registering what Number IV had just said. While he was deep in thought, he had brought up a gloved hand to his chin cupping it while he appeared to reach a verdict. Snapping out of his zombie like stare, he lifted his face up to meet the academic's. Sensing the impatience that seem to come from Vexen, Zexion couldn't help but smirk.
"While I rather enjoy you making a mockery out of yourself, I do believe you have caught on to something that might perhaps not explode in your face." Upon hearing a muffled growl come from the scientist, Zexion turned to Lexaeus who nodded seemingly comprehending Number VI's idea as he created a dark portal to enter into. Within moments the giant was gone only to return with a stack full of books in his arms.
The scientist who was silent had watched the transgression between the assistant and the lackey immediately shifted his gaze to the pile of books in Lexaeus's hands with wary. But his worry was wiped from his visage once the books were shoved into his empty hands. Groaning slightly from the new weight he was now carrying, he looked up at Zexion whom who had folded arms across his small chest.
"Those books will be of use for your experiment. Perhaps brushing up with them will be a good way of occupying your time wisely instead of you idly wasting it away on failed projects." Turning on his heel and prepared to vacate the laboratory bedroom, he was halted in his steps when he heard Vexen's complaints commenced.
"Now wait to a minute there Zexion, my projects were not anything that you would refer to as useless and why in Kingdom Hearts did you give me books based on Love? I need to do my research on passion not this barbaric word you call Love." Plopping the books on his table with laboratory utensils, the items shock from the force the books had caused upon the table. Upon witnessing his childish tantrum, Zexion swiftly shifted his body around rolling his eyes in the process at having to deal with such an absurd Nobody.
"Vexen, you realize that passion is a mere chunk to the word love?" Approaching the ashy-blonde, he grabbed one of the books on top as he flipped feverishly through the pages. Skimming through the book's numerous pages, he smirked slightly as he turned the book around in order for the academic to see what he was talking about. As Vexen leaned over to examine the pages of what Zexion had kindly flipped for him, the Nobody was surprised to find many entries on the definition on love. Feeling a bit embarrassed for acting so dumb and reducing his demeanor to that of a toddler, he roughly snatched the book from Number VI burying his face in its' thick pages.
"I-I see your point there Number VI, but the dilemma now is finding a couple of Nobodies for the project."
At the mention of this problem, both Lexaeus and Zexion stared at the Ice Nobody with questionable expressions plastered on their visages. Flinching from their intense glares, Vexen was quite uncomfortable by their eerie fixated eyes looking upon him. And when Zexion began to speak, Vexen had a keen sense of where he was going with the conversation."
"How about we have Marluxia volunteer with this experiment. He seems promising don't you agree Vexen?"
"Absolutely not! I will not allow that flower headed, vein, pompous Nobody to be apart of our work, he is not to be trusted." Rubbing his temple with his index finger and thumb, he continued with his ranting once more. "And if you guys are thinking of pairing him up with me, then forget it. I am a man of science not some experiment."
"But Vexen didn't you just contradict your-" Zexion intervened through his ranting but Vexen once again interrupted the cloaked schemer once more that day.
"Yes, yes I know I did. But putting that useless issue aside, I am sure you two wouldn't want to be paired up for this project either."
The moment Vexen said he would put his assistant with his lackey together was the moment both Nobodies averted their gazes elsewhere. By their simple gesture, Vexen surmised that he was indeed correct that they did not want to volunteer in their project nor did they want this discussion to continue any further. But as fast as the room had quieted down, surprisingly enough the first person to break the ice was Lexaeus.
"How about Xaldin and Xigbar?"
Instantaneously, both Zexion and Vexen cringed from the mention of Number II and III being together as a pair. Not only did the two Nobodies seemed to be a mismatch pairing but they just didn't quite seem the type to agree to their project unless Xemnas had given them orders to do so. And besides who would want to see these two creepy looking guys together when they had to see them do …inappropriate stuff for their research?
"I believe that we come to an agreement that those two are not good candidates for our experiment. But we may as well rule out Larxene as well." Vexen replied.
Their blood froze at the thought of the Savage Nymph. With her sadistic smirking to her crude comments, she was the least popular member of the organization to get along with. In fact, it seemed that the only Nobody she would converse with without them leaving the room was Marluxia. But then again Marluxia was a strange member himself so it made sense why those two got along really well.
"Hmm…you have a good point there considering that the majority of the Organization is either annoyed by her antics or terrified by her fits of rage." Zexion replied while he held his chin with one gloved hand. Even the quiet giant had to interject his own remark into the conversation about Number XII.
"Well she does get cranky quite easily, so I get where you are coming from. And I am sure everyone has had a horrible encounter some place in time or another with Number XII. Am I right?" Quirking a brown brow at the scientist and his assistant, the duo nodded numbly wishing to forget the horrible memories that Larxene had caused them.
Silence immediately swallowed the room and everyone in it as they were lost in their nightmarish thoughts. From nasty pranks being pulled on them to frightening mishaps, the trio wanted their recollections to go away. Desperate to tear their thoughts and terrible images of the Nymph away from their current train of thought, one of the Nobodies brought up another Nobody that they would probably not use in their project.
"And Luxord would not be a good choice for this experiment either because unless it involved gambling or making a game out of it, he wouldn't take this project seriously."
"Indeed." Zexion replied, his mind returned to present thoughts glad to put the past ones behind the back of his mind once again. But as for Vexen, he was the last to recover because Larxene love to pick on the academic the most of all. Pausing in his contemplating, he agreed with the duo as well.
"….I suppose." Vexen simply replied only to realize that they only had a handful of Nobodies to choose from left. "But which two Nobodies will we chose because all we have left is Roxas, Axel, Demyx, Saix, and Xemnas." Shifting his gaze between Zexion and Lexaeus, he and Zexion's partner noticed the irritation that was slowly cultivating on the short Nobody's visage.
Growing impatient for everyone rejecting each and every organization member that they have named so far to be paired up for their experiment, Zexion's patience was no longer by his side. Clenching and unclenching his hands in an unsettling manner, Zexion couldn't keep his emotions intact much longer. Because of everyone's indecisiveness of nominating the subjects for their experiment, Number VI was infuriated by everyone's lack of decision. It should've been easy to choose a couple of Nobodies and make them fall in love with each other, but for Numbers IV, V, and VI it proved to be the exact opposite of easy when it came to finding suitable Nobodies for their project.
Sensing Number VI's sudden change in demeanor festering even more quickly now, Lexaeus thought of the first two Nobodies that would come to his head and put them together in order to help calm Zexion down.
"How about we volunteer the Superior and Saix for our project?"
It was then that both Vexen and Zexion had stared up at the giant as if he grew another head or something. To think about pairing up the Superior with Saix did seem rather appropriate and a nature thing to do, but having Number I being one of the very first Nobodies to test out their project was a really barbaric idea for them to even ask of their leader.
Immediately Lexaeus knew he made a bad decision judging from their expressions as he bowed his head in shame.
"Lexaeus, you realize that Xemnas wouldn't consider volunteering for our experiment due to him being the leader of this organization and all." Zexion replied while feeling a migraine overtake him. Vexen on the other hand was growing weary of the whole situation that they were facing currently.
"Of course the same could be said for Saix because like a dog, he would only serve the Superior and obey no one else."
Letting out a huge breath, Zexion sighed at the tedious and tiresome time it took for them to match a couple of organization members together. Deciding to name off the last Nobodies that they haven't called yet, he flipped his bangs from eyes as he stared at the two Nobodies present in the room.
"Now that we have eliminated nearly everyone in the Organization, our last candidates are Demyx, Axel, and Roxas."
Pausing long enough in order for everyone to contemplate over the matter, Vexen had instantly jolted out of his thoughts as he made a final decision for himself.
"Although I believe Axel and Roxas share great chemistry, we can't have Roxas participate in our little experiment because of the fact that Roxas is the key to unlocking Kingdom Hearts or so the Superior says."
"Now all that is left is Demyx and Axel." Zexion replied while raising his hand. Vexen shifted his head in Zexion's direction as he smirked wickedly though instead of conversing with Number VI he began mumbling something underneath his breath.
"Of course why didn't I think of having those two pair up sooner. I am brilliant."
Rolling his blue topaz irises for Vexen's unusual overbearing arrogance and pride, Zexion couldn't help but agree with the scientist. Cupping his gloved hand to his face once more that day, he brought his opinion aloud enough to be heard.
"Even though Demyx and Axel have completely different personalities, in one of the books, it did mention something about having opposites attract. Perhaps this plan could go accordingly after all."
"Aye." The giant said mumbling under his breath.
" Then I suppose we should inform the Superior of our experiment then." Bringing his hand away from his chin, he motioned to Lexaeus that they were leaving as the tall Nobody nodded in response as they strolled toward the exit. But there was one Nobody who wasn't very fond of their idea of informing their leader about new experiment just yet.
"N-No we mustn't notify Number I of our project just yet!" Running toward the entrance, Vexen slammed his body against the laboratory door halting both Zexion and Lexaeus in their steps. Spreading his arms wide apart to prevent them from preceding any further, the academic's breath was shaken and hyperventilating due to him using most of his energy on running. Although it was an amusing sight to see Vexen do some sort of exercise that didn't involve his brain being used for the art of science, Zexion and Lexaeus immediately understood the academic's fretful actions. Imagining how the Superior would respond to their experiment after supposedly and quite possibly failing at it would something the trio did not want to be on the receding ends of his rage or punishment. Glancing at each other then at Vexen, the two nodded their heads as they reached a decision.
"Alright Number VI we will agree to have this project be kept secretly, but in the meantime we must gather our test subjects together in order for our project to commence."
"Hmm…yes you are quite right." Vexen replied while he rubbed his chin. Averting his gaze away from his assistant, he peered at the behemoth known as Lexaeus. "Well Number V, is it alright if we borrow your bulking body in order to round up Number VIII and Number IX?"
Glancing at Zexion out of the corner of his eye, he saw the Nobody held no disagreements with Vexen's compromise as the giant Nobody merely nodded his head before he disappeared in a puff of black smoke.
eeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee

Ah, but also there will be more surprises coming in store for these two like rivals, dilemmas, and other things along those lines. So I really hope I get reviews for this story because I absolutely love this new story that I have created inside my head and are presenting to you guys for your enjoyment. So please review this, I would really like to hear what you guys think of my story so far. P.S. I might briefly put Xion into the story but only a tiny bit okay. So for all those Xion fans out there I am sorry but I barely know her still until the game comes out to America.
