*Zexion felt himself being pulled off of Vexen by Demyx. Vexen stood there panting for breath as he regained his composure once again. Vexen said, "I was just trying to tell you the truth. Besides, you're going to have to tell him the truth anyway. It might as well be now before your relationship gets 'too' intense." He looked aoiund the room, and then added," From the looks of it though it looks like it is already in that too intense stage. You better tell him." Before Zexion grab Vexen again he was out the door cackling madly to himself.

Wanting to take out his frustration on something, and not Demyx or himself, he kicked the nearest thing that was close to him sending it flying into the near wall. He didn't- no he couldn't explain it to Demyx. It was too painful for him to recount, and he didn't want Demyx getting involved. "You know by loving Demyx in the first place, let alone making love to him, you have already involved him," said the voice of his subconciousness. "You will have to tell him eventually. Besides, what if Xemnas figured out, and hurt Demyx. What kind of lover would you be then?" Sitting on the bed he Zexion motioned for Demyx to join him. He was going to tell him everything he had a right to know.

((* wow that was a confusing sentence))

Demyx looked from Zexion to Vexen, confused. So Zexion was hiding something from him. The thought caused a sinking feeling to form in his stomach. He frowned lightly and was close to just walking away and avoid Zexion for awhile, but jumped visibly when something hit the wall. He glanced at Zexion, seeing he was upset and all thoughts of walking away vanished. His main concern was helping Zexion feel better and when Demyx saw he was to sit on the bed, he instantly went to sit without a word. He looked at the other Nobody, waiting to see what he'd say.

((I understood it. And sorry for taking so long. My cousin kicked me off in the middle of typing this and she took forever to get off.))

((Nah, it happens when you have to share a computer))

Zexion felt the weight on the bed shift a little as Demyx sat next to him. "It's about time I tell you everything," said Zexion. "You are my lover, and have a right to know. I would like to say that I am sorry for keeping this from you for so long, but I didn't want to see you get hurt." Zexion took another breath before he said," It's Xemnas. Remember all of those times I've seen you and I've been limping, and such. It's all because of Xemnas. He abuses me and sleeps with me whenever I am not with you. I didn't want you to know because I was afraid that you would go after him. I didn't want you to know, because I didn't want you to get hurt." Zexion turned and hugged Demyx in a death grip. He was afraid that he was going to get upset and leave to go after Xemnas. But, most of all he was afraid that Demyx would not stay there with him. He was afraid of losing Demyx.

Demyx as quiet as he listened to Zexion's explanation. He was happy that Zexion trusted him enough to tell him what was bothering him. But all the same, he grew angry. Not at Zexion though. He could never be mad at him. But at Xemnas. Demyx knew he was a horrible person and all, but he'd never have figured about what he'd been doing to Zexion. And despite what Zexion said, Demyx was going to go confront Xemnas. He'd do anything he could to help prevent anything from hurting the one he loved. But those plans will have to wait. For now, he shifted slighlty so he could wrap his arms around the smaller male. "I'm glad you told me this." he muttered.

Zexion was glad that he had gotten that off of his chest. Hopefully Demyx wouldn't go and confront Xemnas. It was sure to be suicide for the blonde. He felt Demyx place his arms around his form and pull him closer. Zexion buried his head into Demyx's chest as he hugged him even more, if that were even possible.

Vexen walked back in while he was reviewing some charts he had received from Xemnas. Looking up he noticed that the pair was still there. He didn't say anything, and then quietly excused himself from the room again. There was no need for him to be there.

Demyx sat there quietly for a few minutes more before pulling away. He tilted Zexion's head up and kissed him lightly. When he pulled away he smiled for a second before standing. "I need to get going. I have to get on a mission that was supposed to be done a few hours ago." he said, laughing lightly and scratching the back of his head in embarrassment.

Zexion felt his head being upturned as a gently kiss was placed on his lips. He heard Demyx say," I need to get going. I have to get on a mission that was supposed to be done a few hours ago." Zexion nodded and untangled his limbs from Demyx and said," Okay. Be safe. Don't work yourself too hard. That's my job." Zexion said the last bit in mock-tone, but it also held a seriousness to it as well. "I have to go and do some more work for 'him' so I will be in the library if you get back early."

"Be safe." Demyx said before nodding happily before skipping from the room. Once out of sight though, he slowed down and the happy look slipped from his face. He thought about how he should confront Xemnas, knowing it could end disastoriously if he said the wrong thing. He took a deep breath before heading off to find Xemnas to get him to stop everything he had been doing to Zexion.

Zexion got off of the bed and hastily went to the library where he began to do his research feverently. He got numerous books, magazines, and pamphlets down from their various places among the library where he brought them to the area where he was doing his research. As he read his various periodicals he noticed that his mind kept wandering to a certain blonde Nobody. Slapping himself mentally he got back to reading. He would let his mind wander when he was done with his research, and then he would make love again to a certain blonde haired person on his arrival back.

Meanwhile elsewhere in the Castle That Never Was Xemnas was humming to himself thoughtfully. He was thinking of new ways that he could torment his favorite strategist. He saw Vexen walking by with a smile on his face. Doing a double take he managed to stop Vexen as he asked," So why are you so happy?" Vexen ignored the question at first, but then finally said," I know a secret about your strategist, and he was singing some sweet, sweet music with another musician" Xemnas' eye twitched when he heard this. He would get to the bottom of this, if he had to spend the next few days searching for the problem. He would find the problem, and he would end the problem.

((Confrontation go?))

((Sure. If you want.))

Demyx sighed in frustration. He had no idea what he was supposed to say to the Superior. Sure, he did have a mission to be on. But it was a recon mission with Xigbar and he was sure it was already done. Even though he wasn't aware that Xigbar was currently twitching on the floor in his room after being tortured by Larxene. So, instead he went off to the grey room and started stumming idely on his sitar. The music always seemed to help his train-of-thought and helped him relax.

The more he thought of what to say, the more frustrated he became. And his thoughts kept flashing to an injured Zexion by the hands of Xemnas and it only made him angrier. His light-toned music was slowly started turning into an annoyed melody and he was given a weird look by Larxene, even though she didn't say anything. She was too busy on her way to torture Marluxia.

((I edited the conversation from my last post with Xemnas and Vexen so it makes sense))

Xemnas was downright pissed. How dare that snot nosed musician go after what was his. "SAIX!" he yelled out. Saix appeared before him looking a little worried, and semi-pissed.

"What is it Superior?" asked Saix.

"Is Demyx on any mission today?" Looking at his clipboard Saix scanned it, and said," Yes, he is supposed to be on a mission with Xigbar. However, according to this he hasn't left yet." "Well where is Xigbar then?" roared Xemnas.

"Last time I checked he was being abused mercilessly by Larxene." Sighing to himself, what was he going to do with that girl? "Where does Demyx usually spend his time?" asked Xemnas

Saix thought for a moment and then said," If he is not in his room or on a mission, he is usually in the Grey Room practicing his sitar." Nodding to Saix he left heading towards the Grey Room. He materialized an Ethereal blade.

Demyx sighed, setting his sitar on his lap and ran his fingers through his hair in frustration. Why was it so hard to think of how to confront someone. It's normally really easy. But this was their Superior he was confronting. He could easily have him killed or turned into a dusk. He started tapping his forehead, trying to get the thoughts moving in the right direction. He sighed again, leaning back on the couch and started up his music again.

Zexion continued his research as he put the finishing touches on his research project, and walked out of the room back to his own room. He was completely oblivious of the coming storm between Xemnas and his unsuspecting lover.

Xemnas walked in the entrance to the Grey Room, and spied Demyx sitting on one of the plush grey couches. Roaring out in fury he threw the Ethereal Blade at Demyx. There was an explosion when the blade hit the couch, but he wasn't sure if he had hit Demyx because there was too much smoke from impact.

Demyx had looked up when he heard the voice of Xemnas yelling in the Grey Room. It was just in time to see the blade flying towards him and he dived off the couch. 'Crap... I'm not ready for this!' he thought, holding his sitar tightly, prepared to defend himself if necessary. "What are you doing?!" he exclaimed, backing away from his Superior.

Seeing Demyx when the dust cleared he made a "tsking sound" because he was pissed that he had missed. Xemnas heard Demyx exclaimed," What are you doing?!" Xemnas laughed out loud at that."I am making sure that my little tactician is mine and mine alone, and if that means killing you, then that is just something that has to happen." He materialized another Ethereal Blade in his hand as he charged Demyx.

"He's not yours!" Demyx said, trying to stay calm. But he strummed down on his sitar and the music echoed through the castle. It wasnt' his normal music that he played in his free time. It was the sounds he used when in battle. Water came out and formed clones and they charged Xemnas to slow him down.

Zexion was lying in his bed thinking about his blonde lover when the wall to his bedroom shook. Sitting up he feared the worse, and went running out of the room towards the sound of the explosion.

Xemnas danced around the water clones with relative ease cutting them down one after another. Some of them hit their mark though, and he ended up slowing down due to the added weight of the water on his cloak. Some managed to hit him as well, not just collide with him. He was drenched and bleeding slightly in some places. Bringing the back of his hand he wiped some blood off of his face. Looking towards Demyx his eyes narrowed into a glare as he produced two more Ethereal Blades in his hand. He moved forward quicker than usually, and right before he collided with Demyx he vanished appearing behind Demyx ready to be what he thought would be the final blow when-

Zexion shouted a spell from the opposite side of the room. Running in through the entrance he called upon his illusions to create exact copies of Ethereal Blades. Throwing out his hands the blades obeyed Zexion's command and headed straight before Xemnas.

Changing his tactic Xemnas dismissed his blades and grabbed Demyx by the neck as he shouted," If you want to hit me you're going to go straight through Demyx, I mean your precious lover." Zexion knew that Xemnas was right. He didn't have the mastery of the blades like Xemnas had, besides he knew their secret now. Concentrating again he changed the course of the Ethereal blades as they went exploding into the nearby wall behind them.

Panting heavily Zexion put his hands in the air showing his defeat. At least Demyx was alive; that's all that mattered. Maybe Demyx could think up a plan.

Demyx had watched his clones with confidence, but it faded quickly as Xemnas continued coming at him. Before he really had the chance to react, the other was gone. He heard Zexion's shout and turned towards the sound. No. This wasn't right. Zexion wasn't supposed to get involved. He opened his mouth to tell him to leave when he was grabbed by the neck. He froze up, not liking the feeling of Xemnas touching him in anyway.

His thoughts raced a mile a minute as he tried to put together a plan. He knew he'd never be able to actually get ride of their Superior. He was the superior for a reason. His breathing came in short and quick and suddenly hit Xemnas right where it hurts with all his strenght, hoping that would distract him long enough for him to break free.

((I didn't mean to do an 'automatic hit,' but you broke free and that's what matters))

Zexion saw that Demyx had broken free from Xemnas' grip, and he cheered at him. He began chanting another spell from his Lexicon, but then he stopped when he heard Xemnas yell for Saix to come. With Saix in the picture things were bound to get even more ineresting.

Xemnas doubled over when Demyx a flailing body part connected with his groin. He gasped a lot and took in great gulps of air. Zexion went running up to Demyx. "SAIX!" yelled Xemnas. Saix appeared before Xemnas."Help me up." Grabbing Xemnas under the arm he hoisted Xemnas up into a slouched sitting position. He raised his hand charging a blast of energy at the two of them; this time his aim was at Demyx again. "Zexion," he said. "I am giving you one more chance. Come back to me, or I will blow your lover up to kingdom come. I can forgive and forget that this ever happened, if you become my little uke again, and bow to my ever whim and need." Zexion didn't know what to do. He had finally found love, and here it was being taken and held above his head just out of reach again. Cursing to himself Zexion closed his Lexicon,which he dropped to the ground with a dull thud. He started to lift his feet to walk next to Xemnas.

((>< Sorry. I didn't know what else to put.))

Demyx was glad when Xemnas let go of him and he hurried out of his reach. A worried look crossed his face momentarily when Saix was called, but it went back to his detemined to win face. Even though he heard Xemnas's threat, it didn't really worry him. He didn't expect Zexion to give in so easily and he grabbed the back of the shorter male's cloak, pulling him back away from Xemnas. He wasn't going to let Zexion go so easily and be submitted to the torture that Xemnas was sure to put him through. With one hand on Zexion's cloak, the other slid around his waist, holding him close. "Please don't give in to him Zexy..." he muttered.

((No, no it was alright. I was the one apologizing to you lol))

Zexion faulted a little when he felt Demyx's hand reach around his waist. Surely seeing this display of affection from the blonde would push him over the edge, and he would surely nuke Demyx for sure with a ball of energy. He heard Demyx mutter," Please don't give in to him Zexy." Zexion was at a loss for words. He wanted to protect his lover, at all costs, but apparently with him going back to Xemnas was even more painful than listening to his abuse stories. Zexion stopped moving and took a hold of the hand that was on his waist reassuringly. Demyx was right he didn't belong with Xemnas, he belonged with Demyx, the one he truly loved. "My my," drawled Xemnas. "How touching." He noticed that Larxene was in the room, she apparently earlier had beaten the tar out of Xigbar. "Larxene, seperate those two, but don't hurt Zexion. Do whatever you want with Demyx." Larxene looked at the two of them as a grin became visible on her feminine features. "Oh god," thought Zexion. Larxene charged at the two of them sending a lighting bolt at the two of them. Zexion managed to wrench Demyx off in time as he pushed the two of them apart. The ground was charred where they were standing.

This was exactly what Xemnas wanted. Having enough recovery time with Saix holding him upright he vanished and appeared behind Zexion. Grabbing him around the middle he created a portal and walked through it. Before closing it he said to Saix," Guard this portal until it closes. I must not be disturbed." Saix nodded as he stood in front of the portal. Once Xemnas was through it the portal closed leaving a frenzy full nymph, and Saix as well as Demyx.
((Oh noes. what now?))

A nervous look crossed his face when Larxene came into the fight. She was one of the last people she wanted to fight. He wanted to cling to Zexion tighter, but almost lost his balance when he was pushed away. "No!" he yelled when Zexion was grabbed by Xemnas and was taken through the portal. That was when he realized he was alone with two people who would probably kill him if he doesn't get away. He glanced between Saix and Larxene, not wanting to fight them both at the same time. "Uh... Can't we just pretend this never happened?" he asked, slowly backing towards the door to run. Maybe he could find Zexion before it was too late.

Zexion continued to struggle while he was practically being man handled by Xemnas. Re-appeared on the other side of the portal Zexion was blinded by the sheer whiteness of the room. "Namine!" yelled Xemnas. "Where are you you witch? I have a job for you!" A young girl dressed only in a short white dress appeared as if by magic. "Yes, superior, Xemnas. You called." Xemnas took Zexion by the arm and threw him forward onto the white tiled ground. "I want his memory erased. All of it, I want you then to recreate his memory so he is completely obedient to me. Inform me when your task of erasing his memory is done so I can give you further instructions." Namine looked down at the broken person in front of him and sighed. She didn't like doing this kind of thing, but he would be perfect practice for what she knew would be coming in the future.

Zexion got off of the ground from where he landed and asked," Where am I?" Looking at Namine. "Are you really going to erase my memory." Namine looked at him sadly and slowly nodded his head. Zexion widened his eyes as he made a 180 turn and went running for the door. Before he could even reach the doorknob he felt himself falling to the ground again. Namine had cast a sleeping spell on him. Hopefully he would stay asleep through the whole erasing process.

Luckily for Demyx, neither Larxene nor Saix actually killed him. He just got beat up pretty bad by Larxene. Saix didnt' really do anything. He went to his room to get himself a potion before running all over the castle in search of Zexion. But as each room he looked in turned out to be empty, his hopes fell more and more. Finally after looking in each room at least 5 times, he slunk back to his room, depressed. His sitar was leaning against the wall, but he made no move to grab it. He wasn't in the mood to even try to cheer him up. He plopped down on his bed and worried if Zexion was going to be okay.

Zexion groaned as he cracked his eyes open. He was lying on a white tiled floor. He closed his eyes pretending that he was still unconcious as he listened to see if there was anyone around him. He could hear some slight shuffling as a door closed. Zexion strained his ears as he heard the steps getting fainter and fainter. Getting his knees his limbs felt utterly dead. Whatever that witch, Namine, had done to him it took a number on his body. He was fine though. Getting to his feet he managed to sneak out of the room that he was currently in. As he ran he got a glimpse of a tower like building in the distance it was the trainstation. He was in Twilight Town. Running out what he figured was the front door, he heard Namine call out to him to stop running. Zexion pushed himself further as he summoned illusions to help confuse the witch. He didn't need his Lexicon for easy illusions such as this one.

Running out of the mansion he managed to find his way to station square where he then found his way to the train station where he created a portal and linked it to Demyx's Room. He needed to find him quickly, and explain what Xemnas was planning.
