This is not really a deleted scene. More like an alternate ending.
I came up with this while I was planning out "Warriors of the Light," and I just couldn't let it sit around in my mind for any longer.
Like I mentioned earlier, it's an alternate ending to chapter thirteen, "Loving Darkness." It happens just after Kirux leaves the clock tower, after his conversation with Axel.
I don't want to give away anything else, so here you go.
Kirux was walking back to the mansion.
He was smiling the whole way, as he thought about what he would do once he got back.
...
'I'm finally going to get to tell Xion about all of this.'
'It's about time.'
...
Everything that he had felt for so long, now he could finally let it out.
Kirux couldn't tell you a time he had been more happy.
...
...
...
He opened the doors to the mansion. Nobody was in the foyer, as per usual.
"Xion? Where are you?" He called out, as he walked towards the center of the room.
No response.

"Xion, are you here?"
"I'm right here."
...
He turned to his right, as she walked towards him.
He smiled once she got close.
...
"So, what took you so long?"
Kirux laughed, "Well, Axel gave me a bit of a hard time. But, we're still good."
"You fought Axel?"
"Well, I...kind of didn't get a choice. I didn't want to fight him, but..."
...
"I understand. As long as you're both okay."
They were silent after that.
'Come on. Just tell her already. Don't be a-,'
...
"Kirux, I need to ask you something. It's important."
Kirux frowned. He really didn't want to wait to tell Xion.
But, he nodded.
...
"While you were gone, Riku told me some things. Things about you."
"He said that...you...that..."
"Kirux, do you...love me?"
...
Kirux gasped at what she said.
"H-,"
...
'How...did she find out?'
'Man, what did Riku tell her? He could have at least let me tell her myself.'
...
He sighed, "I..."
He walked closer to her, "I wanted to tell you that myself."
She looked up at him, "You mean...you...really do?"
He smiled at her, "Yes. I do. I...have Axel to thank for helping me realize it."
...
...
...
Xion didn't know what to say.
"Are...you going to say anything?"
...
Xion said nothing. She let her actions do the talking.
...
She closed the gap between the two, pressing her own lips softly to his.
The kiss only lasted a few seconds, because Xion pulled back almost immediately.
Kirux was stunned, to say the least.
...
"Sorry. I...didn't mean to-,"
Kirux shushed her, "Why'd you stop?"
...
Xion looked back up at him, where he was smiling down at her.
...
Her arms went around his neck as she kissed him again. She felt his own arms go around her waist, pulling her close.
...
...
...
Meanwhile, Riku and Naminé were watching from the doorway to the white room.
"Come on. Admit it. You're happy for him." She teased.
Riku responded after a few seconds, "Yeah, I am."
"But, you have to think about what's going to happen to her. When it does, what's his reaction going to be?"
...
Naminé frowned, "You're right. I...guess I forgot about that."
Riku smiled, "That's ironic. You forgetting about something."
She elbowed him.
...
...
...
Meanwhile, Kirux and Xion had both pulled back. Their foreheads were resting together as they both caught their breath.
"So," Kirux started, "I guess the feeling's mutual?"
She laughed, "Of course it is."
So, what do you think?
Did you like it? Did you hate it? Would you rather that have been the original ending to chapter thirteen? Let me know!
I'll see you all soon.
