This chapter is for The Winged Huntress. She asked for a Saix pov so here it is. I still don't own the KH characters, only this story. Now we get a look into Saix's head and a peek into the other side of the story.

He was furious. Completely and absolutely livid.

Even the screams echoing down the corridor toward him couldn't cheer him up. After all they weren't his screams.

"Roxas."

He clenched his fist as the name slid past his lips.

Roxas, his Roxas, stolen away by some red-haired slut.

Saix stormed down the corridor to the chamber at its end, still too angry to notice the glowing red eyes that turned to watch him enter.

He paced the room, still clutching the piece of parchment in his fist. And it was the silence that finally brought him out of his angry musings.

"Who told you to stop!"

He snapped, glaring at the blond haired woman who ran his torture chamber. She merely glared back, hands resting on her hips. Her blond hair was short except for two long bangs that she threw back over the top of her head. Those bangs reminded him of an insect's antennae.

"I can't concentrate on my work with huffing your anger all over the place." She snapped back, "And you know he likes his meals seasoned perfectly."

She motioned to the blood red dragon perched on top of the iron maiden in the corner and Saix met those glowing red eyes with his own. The dragon licked his lips in anticipation and Saix sighed.

"When you get this angry I get to feast, so I don't mind so much."

Saix had to laugh at that and shake his head.

"I'm afraid you will have wait on that feast. I've just gotten word from our spy. The dragons have gathered."

V'pyr hissed in anger. Saix smiled grimly.

"Peace my friend, the contractors are weak and foolish. We can crush them easily."

"And just think how their blood will taste when I've prepared them for you."

Larxene chimed in with a sadistic grin. Saix shuddered slightly as V'pyr bared his teeth in an eerie imitation of that grin.

"And what of that tasty little blond you are so fond of?"

V'pyr asked and Saix crushed the parchment in his hand again. "P'rexen's contractor has him. The filthy slut even got the boy to fall in love with him." Saix hissed and V'pyr drifted off his perch to curl over his shoulders, rubbing his head against Saix' cheek.

"This is a good thing Saix."

He gave the dragon a dubious look from the corner of his eye. "How the hell is it good?" He roared, ignoring Larxene as she shook her head and started rearranging her tools.

"Think of the new worlds of pain you can inflict by torturing and killing the one he loves."

V'pyr answered and a joyfully twisted grin spread across Saix' face.

He left a little while later, after watching Larxene at work for a bit. He wandered up to his personal chambers in a much better mood then he had begun the day with. And as he sat back in a comfortable armchair near the window, staring out over his kingdom. He felt his mind drift back and he delved into his memories.

Life as a wizard's aid was boring. He cleaned the wizard's quarters, cleaned up after his spells, fetched things. Not even watching the spells being cast alleviated his boredom. Not that they were boring spells, he had just seen them far too many times.

Saix sighed heavily as he arranged items on a tray. The wizard was casting a new spell today, a spell he claimed that would allow him to take control of the kingdom. Saix carried the tray over to the table next to the large cauldron in the center of the room.

He didn't care about the spell, he was busy wondering how much more work he would have cleaning up a castle for the wizard.

He turned to watch the wizard enter the room. He looked very good in his long robes, white with stripes of black. His long silver hair glimmering in the lights of the torches and the fire beneath the cauldron, his dark amber eyes glowing.

"Well my little beast, is everything ready?"

Saix nodded and bowed. Xemnas had always called him that. Ever since he had taken him in as a boy, off the streets. He said Saix reminded him of a wild dog. Fierce and beastly, with a potential to be loyal, if trained properly.

Xemnas was busy over the cauldron now, adding bits of this and that to his spell. The mixture bubbling softly and changing colors with each new ingredient.

Saix only watched for a moment before grabbing a pair of buckets and heading outside to fill them with water. He was going to need it to clean that cauldron when the spell was finished, and he hoped that was all the mess it would make.

I was lucky I suppose.

He thought to himself watching a cloud drift by outside his window. He could still see the room in his mind's eye.

The way Xemnas had lain sprawled on the floor, the puddle of blood growing larger by the second from the arrows protruding from his chest.

The cauldron lay shattered on its side, most of its contents oozing across the floor. The spell mixed with Xemnas' blood and as he watched images began to form.

He saw a small dragon drinking a river of blood, while men fled from it in fear. And the same dragon curled into a ball sleeping, while seven others wove around it casting a spell to keep it sleeping.

Then he saw a boy, a little child perhaps only four years old. He was holding a glowing crystal gem.

Then he saw himself, waiting as the boy cast a spell on him and the blood dragon appeared.

Finally he saw himself again, the dragon at his side, standing atop a great castle surveying his kingdom.

Saix growled softly as a knock on the door disrupted his thoughts. He didn't bother to stand as he bade them enter.

"You had better have a good reason for disturbing me. V'pyr is always hungry for more victims."

He heard a soft thump and turned to look. "We tracked the thieves to the village of Saphirian in Sheras Valley. They stayed at an inn there run by one of the thieves and this man."

One of the soldiers gave their prisoner a swift kick in the leg, and the head of short blond hair lifted and fixed Saix with light blue eyes.

"Well then it seems my guest and I have much to talk about."
