"Where the hell is Marluxia? He's going to be a father so he should be more responsible and be here to protect you and help you." Vexen sighed. "I should test poisons on him…"

"Oh Vex, just because I'm pregnant doesn't mean I need to have a man with me all the time." Larxene pointed out. "Besides, I'm not that far along. Once my ankles swell and this thing becomes more obvious, then I'll force him to be here in case I need to throw my knives at someone." She got up and groaned. "This nausea though and morning sickness…" She groaned. "Stepmother wasn't this bad…"

"Your mother was." Vexen said, hinting that he and his siblings have different mothers; it would possibly explain the easy yet majour age differences with the three. "It wasn't easy trying to take care of her through her pregnancy with you and of course… our father was horrible at being around."

"Well… this sucks." Larxene groaned. "So, have fun in the market?"

"As much fun as anyone could ever have when shopping with our brother and Saïx." Vexen said. He went to their kitchen area with Larxene close on his heel and following. "Demyx is still head over heels for the best fish merchant in the market. Saïx is still looking for his nephew. Oh, and let's not forget we often get stuck seeing the youngest prince there."

"Oh, fun." Larxene hummed a bit. "Ever thought of seeing if Saïx's glare can scare him?"

"Oh yes, and risk him being the center of attention because little Riku wet his pants being so afraid of our own demon." Vexen chuckled. He started preparing food. "Where is everyone else? It's abnormally quiet."

"Xaldin, Xigbar, and Marluxia are out looking around, as per usual, Lexaeus… I don't know… he's too quiet anyway, the boss is off keeping an eye on things with Luxord, too…" Larxene said.

"And Demyx is lazing about and taking a nap." Vexen finished, knowing full well where their brother is. "Saïx went to his room, possibly to mope a bit at another passing day."

"I don't mope!" Saïx shouted from the other room as he waked past the door.

"Oh, he's pacing." Larxene said before chuckling. "So, need help cooking?"

"Of course since everyone will be hungry when they get home." Vexen said. "Thanks for offering."

"So, you saved the little prince, huh?" Marluxia asked. He gently touched Sora's face. "Look, we need all the help we can get and our only clue to really finding him and putting him back on the throne is you since it was said that a siren was possibly the last to see him." He ran his hand gently down Sora's face. "We promise we're not going to hurt you and your little knight, we aren't even planning on hurting the prince, we just need to get things in motion and set things right. Got it?"

Sora whimpered a bit. He then shook his head; he really hated humans addressing him as a siren. It was moments like that that he didn't feel so strong and felt vulnerable. Moments like that reminded him that humans were often monsters. It was moments like that that people learn they underestimate him.

"Fuck!" Marluxia shouted, yanking his bleeding hand away. Xaldin was then caught off guard when Sora suddenly kicked him. For being a tiny thing, he really had a strong kick. Sora gave a glare and his eyes turned completely blue, no whites showing, and his pupils turned into slits. He let out a harsh hiss-like snarl that startled the three Organization men. Xigbar was startled enough that his attention was drawn away from the blonde which was all Roxas needed to get him off and then run to Sora and take his hand before running off. Xaldin and Xigbar made to go after them, but Marluxia stopped them.

"Don't." he said. "Further into the forest, there's water and people get disoriented there. I'm sure they'll be at an advantage." Marluxia hissed and looked to his hand; it wasn't too bad, but it was definitely a deep bite and would need time to heal.

"Shit, Mar." Xaldin went over and ripped some cloth from his cloak and wrapped it around Marluxia's hand where he was bit. "He almost bit a chunk right out of your hand."

"Good thing he just wanted me away and not dead." Marluxia chuckled a bit. "How are you? That kick had to hurt."

"The kid sure can kick…" Xaldin grumbled. "Didn't see that coming from such a tiny guy." He shrugged. "So… do we head back what with news we have?"

"Sounds good." Xigbar said. "The kid's reaction is enough to tell us he did see the prince. And even helped him."

"Then let's go back." Marluxia said.

"You may have found the siren that protected Prince Ienzo?" Xemnas asked.

"Well, we at least found a siren." Marluxia said. "And my hand had a first encounter." He let out a yelp when the bandage was tied around it. "Good gods, man! Can't you learn to be gentle?" Vexen gave him a glare. "Okay, forget I asked." He sighed. "Anyway, the kid really had quite the glare, you know? His eyes changed and damn, his teeth were sharp."

"I can tell by your hand, Marluxia." Xemnas said. "Did he or his partner say anything about the prince?"

"No." Marluxia said. "But the way he reacted about being called out as a siren who protected the prince… well… that was enough said, I think."

Xemnas nodded. "Sounds right." He said. He looked to be deep in thought. "Luxord, you were often told tales as a child about sirens; is there anything you can tell us?"

"Mum always told me that sirens were once man's salvation on the seas, but once they were captured for their tears, they became man's nightmare." Luxord said. "They desire trust but it can take a long time to earn it… Tales often say that children have a better chance of earning their trust because of their innocence."

"So… we get Demyx to do this?" Xigbar asked. "He's the closest thing to a child that we've got.

"Hey! I'm not going to be used to lure out a siren… if he finds out…" Demyx looked rather nervous about it.

"It's not wise to trick a siren, I'm sure." Vexen said. "Did either if you recognize what the siren looked like? If he's been around town before?"

"Yeah…" Xigbar said. "The kid in the market that the prince talks to and sells fish with Demyx's little boy toy."

"Wait… him?!" Demyx shouted. "Little Sora?!"

"That's what his other friend called him… some dude with a sword and blonde hair." Xigbar said. "So… you know the kid pretty well, huh? That should make things easy, I'm sure."

"What? But Sora likes me!" Demyx said. "If he even starts to think I'm going to use him for something, he'll hate me, possibly eat me, even Zexion will hate me! I don't want Zexy to hate me…"

Luxord noticed Saïx's silence through this and looked to him. "Well, love, what do you think of the situation?"

"If this Sora person knows where my nephew is, perhaps it would be best I be the one to approach him." Saïx said. "Luxord, sirens can tell the good from the bad, correct?"

"In theory and in the long run, I suppose." Luxord said. "In their eyes, almost all people are bad due to greed."

"Do you think he would be able to tell my sincerity in finding Ienzo?" the blue haired male inquired.

The blonde sighed and pulled out a deck of cards and shuffled them. He then, at random, pulled out a few cards and looked at them. "It could take time…"

"I've been waiting for about thirteen years… I think I can handle waiting a little longer." Saïx informed.

"Saïx, what are you getting at?" Xemnas asked. "Do you plan on finding the siren and talking to him yourself?"

"It may be the best route to take." Saïx said. "I can go to the lake where Ienzo was last seen and wait for the siren there."

"Good luck." Xaldin said. "The fog in the forest isn't easy to deal with since it showed up ten years ago."

"I have faith in myself." Saïx said. He gave Vexen a soft look and smiled. "I have faith that I can earn the siren's trust and find my nephew."

"Wait until morning then." Xemnas said.

Xemnas gently kissed along Saïx's neck, making the scarred male let out a gentle moan, especially when teeth gently bit onto him. The white haired leader pushed Saïx down onto the bed in a gentle manner and pressed the kisses further before going at the blue haired male's lips. Without even being asked or forced to, Saïx parted his lips and allowed Xemnas' tongue to explore before engaging in a wet dance with the other's tongue. He pulled away and smiled, gently kissing the scar on his lover's face.

"You're determined." Xemnas said.

"He's family." Saïx said. "He's my nephew… when he was born, I vowed to always love and protect him."

"You make a good uncle." Xemnas said. He lowered himself onto Saïx and gently kissed his neck and trailed them down to his chest. "Part of me doesn't want you to go. If this Sora person doesn't trust you…"

"I'll most likely die." Saïx said. "Have faith."

"Faith… you sound like Vexen." Xemnas chuckled before removing his shirt. "Did he get through to you, all those years ago?"

"He kept my hope alive." Saïx said.

"It's what he does as a doctor, you know." Xemnas said. He put his fingers to Saïx's mouth and on cue, the other licked them. "He heals people physically and emotionally." He gave a sad smile. "You may be gone for days… weeks." He pulled the saliva coated fingers from his lover's mouth.

"Then you better make tonight worth it." Saïx said.

"I shall." Xemnas cooed as he moved his hand to Saïx's erogenous zone and put one digit in place, causing the other to gasp out in a quick little sound of pleasure. "I. Love. You." Xemnas whispered into Saïx's ear.

Heyo, lovlies!

Hope you dears enjoyed this chapter.

I got some sort of sick satisfaction when Marluxia got bit by Sora. I think it's partially because my grandpa taught to bite my enemies if they get too close to my mouth; he didn't expect me to bite him when we'd wrestle in the yard but... Anyway, I hope you all enjoyed and look forward to the next chapters!

Hm... how many chapters is this? I never counted...

Ciao!
