No talking from Sulhadahne today. Too much emotion…. sniffle

(I've written a lot of song fictions recently because they do well with drama. If they annoy anyone, I'm sorry!)

His cell phone was ringing again. He hated that thing now. Leaping up, he shouted.

"WHAT!" He cried. "Who died this time!" On the floor, leaning against the sofa, Demyx choked on a sob.

From afar, Marasu watched the two. Mokuba wanted to run down from his hiding spot (since he was supposed to be asleep) to comfort his friends. But he knew his older brother would kill him. In his mind, he wondered if this is what happened when his parents died. Did Seto hold him and let him cry with him? Perhaps; or maybe they had been too young to understand.

With a sigh, Marasu brushed through her hair. Death pissed her off. Everyone she knew had to die. It was fucked up.

Upstairs, Seto was typing away at his computer. He tried to be annoyed and bitch as usual, and tried to find a reason to throw those two out, but he couldn't. He kept thinking of his parents.

On his phone, Xigbar listened, confused. What was going on?

"Alright, you're telling me that that dude 'Cloak' was really some Xehanort spin off and that Xemnas is Xehanort again? Or Xemnas in Xehanort's body or something?" He whispered. Only Demyx heard him, and the boy's head flipped around immediately, hoping.

"He's dead, but… he's alive?" Demyx leapt up. Xigbar nodded.

"He's in a new body." He shut the cell phone, sighing. "He's alive."

Mokuba perked up upstairs. "Yes!" He cheered. "That's the shit!" He laughed.

Standing behind him, Seto said "ahem" before Mokuba looked up, yelped, and ran off. With a smirk, Seto headed downstairs.

"He's alive." Xigbar muttered again. Eyes (or eye) shining he turned to Demyx.

"HE'S ALIVE!" They cried, holding hands and hopping around in a circle. "He's alive, he's alive, he's alive…" Seto groaned. With a chuckle, Marasu comforted him.

"Come on. They just were told their father figure was dying, the lost him, and got him back all in an hour. I'm surprised they don't need therapy."

"Oh, they need therapy…" Seto groaned, headed upstairs. Marasu laughed. "Make sure they don't break anything." Marasu nodded.

"Sure thing, boss man." Shaking his head, Seto went off to his computer.

In her pocket, Marasu's phone rang.

"Yello?" She answered.

"Hey." Someone spoke.

"Hey, Mai!" Marasu cheered. The woman chuckled tiredly.

"Hey, I've got some news. I have some guests in my house that I'm not sure are really normal." Marasu looked across the room.

"Why? Did their father just come back from the dead?" Marasu asked.

"Yeah."

"Well, I've some creepy guests as well. Bring yours over here. And call the others." Marasu said.

"Alright." Mai smiled. "We'll be right over."

(All YGO fans may now scream in hyper ecstasy. All YGO haters may now scream in Pain and Agony.)

"HE'S ALIVE!" The two cheered. Demyx then looked enlightened.

"Come on, to the kitchen!" The blonde cried. Xigbar nodded, and the two raced off.

Marasu shook her head.

Then Xigbar screeched to a halt.

"Actually…" He said. "I have to go." Demyx looked back, surprised. "I'll be back, kid. Besides, Vexen and Ariel are coming over soon." Xigbar looked to Marasu with a glint in his eyes.

'How did he know?' Marasu wondered, curious.

With one last wave and a smirk, Xigbar disappeared outside, running off.

At the Gummi ship, Xigbar ran in.

"ALL MY PEOPLES!" Xigbar cried. "THERE'S A WONDERFUL PARTY AT KAIBA MANSION, WHY DON'T YOU GO THERE!" He cried, pushing everyone out of the ship with his powers. Yuffie was fighting back, but everyone else was too happy about Xemnas or just didn't care.

"What the hell!" She cried.

"Demyx is there!" Xigbar taunted. She lit up.

"Fine." Yuffie gave in. She walked out of the ship. With that, Xigbar slammed the door shut.

"Where are we going?" Xigbar spun around. Cloud was still sitting in his chair unfazed. Xigbar smiled.

"Radiant Garden."

"Well, there he goes." Marluxia sighed. The Gummi ship disappeared into the sky with its two passengers. Zexion sighed.

"Well, anyone know where this 'Kaiba Mansion' is?" Luxord asked. Riku looked to Roxas.

"We do." The boys said at once.

Xigbar pulled the Gummi ship into the castle ship dock, and leapt out as Cid walked up. Cloud and Cid began talking as Xigbar ran off, running madly towards the hospital.

Mai brought Vexen and Ariel to the Kaiba Mansion, and shortly after, the others from the Gummi ship arrived. Seto came back down, and so did Mokuba, to Seto's distaste. Everyone was confused as to what was going on.

"Man, we are backed up in a corner." Demyx whispered complaining.

"We should have never listened to Xigbar." Saix groaned.

The sounds of talking were broken when the front door opened again. No one could see for a moment, but if your eyes focused enough, you could see the outline of someone tall with spiked hair…

Back at Radiant Garden, Xigbar slid to a stop in front of the hospital desk.

"Where is Xemnas?" He asked rudely.

"I'm afraid Mr. Xemnas passed away this morning." Xigbar shook his head.

"The other Xemnas. Oh, never mind, I'll find him…" And with that, Xigbar raced off.

He met Xaldin on the way.

"Xigbar! Back already?" Then the man's eyes softened. "Here to see him?" Xigbar smiled broadly, nodding.

"You're different." Xaldin commented, beginning to run with Xigbar. Xiggy laughed.

"So are you."

Xaldin: The heart of "honor" has been born.

Xigbar: The heart of "compassion" has been born.

I guess I hated him at one point when I decided to leave them behind, but I can't hate the man who took me in, in the end.

That's sweet, Axel.

So Xigbar and Xaldin rushed down the hallways, looking for Xemnas. But of course, they had to be mischievous, as usual.

"Mansex!" Xaldin cried. "Mansex!" He lifted a trashcan lid and looked under it. "Mansex?"

"Oh, manny, manny, Mansex!" Xigbar called, yodeling. "Come out, wherever you are!"

Walking down a hallway, Xaldin and Xigbar peered out from a corner.

"Mansex?" Xaldin whispered.

There were three people in the hall. One was Leon, arms folded, acting cold as usual. The other was Aerith, kind, and sweet, but tired as well.

The third had silver hair, tanned skin, and reddish eyes.

"Whoa." Xaldin and Xigbar spoke at the same time, looking at each other.

"He's practically Xehanort all over again!" Xaldin muttered. Xigbar looked back at his old friend.

Xaldin smiled.

Xigbar and Xemnas, though it didn't always seem like it, were quite close. Braig and Xehanort had been the same way. Whenever holidays rolled around, Xehanort would always wait by the westernmost window in the castle everyday; for Braig's family lived in the west.

Stepping out quietly, Xigbar stood tall. Leon and Aerith looked to him, their conversation ending. The man – Xehanort? – looked to him as well.

"It's you." Xigbar muttered. "It's you, alright." Walking up, Xigbar grew angrier and walked faster.

"You!" He cried out, punching Xehanort. The man couldn't even try to stop it, shocked, and looked up in disbelief.

"I cried for you! I cried for you, damn it! And, what the hell, here you are, alive, just… just standing there! I… I…" Xigbar choked up, a single tear falling down his face.

Xehanort's anger facial features softened. With a sigh he stood, brushing himself off. Xigbar stood, watching him, shaking partly.

From behind, Xaldin stepped out. He walked up, looking to Xehanort, and then hugged him.

"What!" Xehanort cried, his voice younger, but still deep like Xemnas'. Xigbar smiled, another tear falling.

"We thought you were dead." Xigbar whispered. Xaldin let his friend go, and Xehanort looked to Xigbar.

He was a scarred man, the oldest of the six, the one that watched the dark door open when it all began, the responsible one, the strongest one, Xehanort's closest friend, practically Dilan's brother, all of them looking up to him before they had even looked up to Xehanort.

And the scarred man named Xigbar, once called Braig, embraced the man now called Xemnas, who was once a prodigy named Xehanort.

And even more surprising, Xemnas hugged him.

Aerith backed away with a weary smile, looking to Leon to back off as well, and the two left the three close friends to laugh and cry in the reverence of Xemnas' survival.

Xemnas stepped away from Xigbar who looked him over and laughed slightly.

"I'm taller than you now." Xiggy joked. Xemnas glared playfully, punching him in the arm. Cringing, Xigbar rubbed his arm as all three men began laughing, even the one who never so much as smiled.

Xemnas: The emotion named "Mercy" is growing. So is something else.

Xemnas is growing an emotion?

And unlike the others, Axel, something else is growing as well.

What?

The ability to be human.

Saix looked to the door as four people walked in. One was white haired, another with multi-colored hair ("Whoa!" Demyx cried. "That's wicked!"), another with blonde hair and the last with long black hair. Only one was a girl, and all of them walked in after the tri-colored hair person.

"Man! Why'd we have to come over so damn late?" The blonde complained, yawning.

"Shut up, dog." The blonde growled at Seto, who had insulted him. Seto grinned. "What? Do you prefer 'bitch'?"

"Shut the hell up, rich boy!"

"Calm down, Jounouchi." The tri-colored haired one demanded, looking around. The white haired one smiled.

"Yeah, yeah, whatever…"

"Yankees." The black haired girl moaned. Jounouchi didn't hear her.

"I've been told that my friends have had odd guests of late." The tall multi colored hair boy walked up. Mai waved at him, and then continued talking to Marasu.

"Hey, cous!" Marasu called to her cousin, Jounouchi. Then she kicked Seto in the shin for insulting her cousin.

"Weird guests?" Demyx asked. "Really? I don't think we are good with weird things, so we'll just…" He inched towards the door. Seto stepped up and slammed his fist into the wall ahead of Demyx, who shrunk back.

"You aren't going anywhere." Seto threatened. "We want answers. Now."
