Side Story

WARNING: This fanfic contains randomness, moments of stupidity, making fun of Superiors, crawling in air vents, arguments, country clubs, a drunken Luxord, one big fight scene, cameos by the spirit hunters, and a kiss. >_>.

Author’s comment: I have a few very serious parts in this story; I tried to depict how some of the characters would really act. They’re not naturally funny, so most of the time I slightly change their personalities to make them funny. So there are a few points in which I portray them as how they act in the game, but don’t worry, there’s still a lot of funny in here, more than the serious in fact.  

This takes place after Organization XIII Road trip

“Alright, tonight we have to please the Superior. Then maybe, he might change his mind about Castle Oblivion. Failure is not an option!”
Vexen lectured the other members, though none were really listening. Xiaphos and Axel were busy poking Saix, Saix was trying to ignore Xiaphos and Axel but it looked like he was running out of patience, Zexion was reading a book, Demyx was plucking a few strings on his sitar, Luxord was playing Poker with Xigbar and Xaldin, Marluxia was watching them, and Larxene and Lexaeus were deep in conversation.
“Is anyone listening to me?!?!” He yelled.
“Yeah yeah, we get it Vexen. Please the Superior, everyone use their best table manners, no food fights, no poking Saix with a fork,” Larxene said as she eyed Xiaphos and Axel, “ Xaldin, Xiaphos and Zexion must prepare the most delicious meal ever, everyone must be respectful, and absolutely no fighting over who gets the last piece of cake.” Larxene stated.
“You’d better not be mocking me number 12!” Vexen said, slightly agitated.
“And the subject shows signs of intelligence” Larxene replied cruelly
“Respect your elders!”
“More like ancients.”
“ENOUGH!” Lexaeus yelled over the arguing. Everyone immediately stopped what they were doing and looked at Lexaeus.
“Now let’s just get to work and-”

“FOR THE LOVE OF KINGDOM HEARTS WOULD YOU STOP POKING ME?!?!”

Saix screamed at Xiaphos and Axel, who were cowering in fear now.
“Saix calm down.” A deep, nonchalant, voice said. Everyone turned to the source of the voice.
“X-Xemnas. What a pleasant surprise!” Xiaphos said, trying to hide any evidence that would state that she was poking Saix along with Axel.
“We weren’t planning a pleasant dinner for you if that’s what you’re thinking.” Demyx said. In an instant Xiaphos was trying to strangle Demyx with her headband.
“Shut… UP, you idiot!” Xiaphos hissed.
“That’s quite enough Sophia.” Xemnas scolded.
“Oooooooooooo! He used your real name! He must be very mad with you!” Marluxia cooed in her ear.
“Don’t make me open up a can of whoop @$$ on you.”
“Sophia! I will not tolerate such harsh language from you!” Xemnas said, quite appalled at the statement.
“STFU  Mansex.” Axel said in Xiaphos’s defense.
“What did I just say earlier tonight about being polite?!?!” Vexen yelled, his eyeballs practically bulging out of his skull.
“I just came to get Saix. We have some very important papers to go over.” Xemnas said, rubbing his temples.
“My apologies Superior, I completely forgot.” Saix said, hanging his head.
“Don’t worry about it. But let’s be on our way.” Xemnas said as he motioned Saix to follow.
“Papers, yeah right! And Xiaphos and I are perfect angels!” Axel whispered to Demyx, but just loud enough so that Saix and the rest of the Organization could hear him. Everyone started giggling save Xemnas and Saix. They just glared at Axel.
“Why I oughta.” Saix growled raising his fist.
“Can I watch? I love yaoi!” Xiaphos exclaimed, quite excited. Everyone just looked at her before they all started gagging.
“Ugh! That’s it! I’m putting parental controls on your computer starting tomorrow.” Xemnas said.
“What?!?!” Xiaphos whined
“You heard him
“Come Saix, maybe after we’re done with the papers we can look at some yuri.” Xemnas said with a smirk on his face.
“Eww, you sickos! What is wrong with ‘chu? That’s just disgusting!” Xiaphos said as she made a face. Xemnas and Saix just smiled and left the room, knowing that they had won.
“Now that we’re done barfing up our insides, let’s get going.” Zexion said in his same moody voice.
“Right. I need to start baking my famous chocolate cake!” Xiaphos said, trying to shake off the mental image of what yuri they might look at.
“I’ll get the wine I picked out for tonight. Zexion, you start on the chicken.” Xaldin said.
A few minutes later, Xaldin returned with a bottle of red wine.
“You sure that’s a good idea to give that to the Superior? I mean, remember when Saix joined the Organization and Xemnas got drunk?” Vexen asked.
“Oh dude that was so sweet!” Xigbar said.
“What happened?” Xiaphos asked.
“Oh right, you weren’t here when it happened. Basically, Xemnas got really drunk and branded Saix like a cow. That’s how he got his scar.” Zexion explained to Xiaphos.
“Haa! I’m going to torment Saix with that next time I see him.” Xiaphos said as an evil grin spread across her face.
“Anyways, I think it’ll be safe. After the massive hangover he got the next day, I think he’s learned to control how much he drinks.” Xaldin said. “Xigbar, what did you do with the cork screw?”
“I kinda broke it.”
“What? How did you break it? Y’know what? I don’t care, just get out of my kitchen!” Xaldin yelled. Xigbar ran out of that kitchen like he was being chased by a hoard of yaoi fangirls.
“I’ll guess we’ll just have to use the old bottle opener.” Xaldin sighed as he took out a weird looking contraption.
“Dude, what is that thing?” Xiaphos asked as she stirred the cake batter.
“It’s a bottle opener.”
“It’s a pair of chopsticks with a handle” Xiaphos replied.
“Be quiet! It’s harder to use than it looks.” Xaldin said as he tried to wedge the chopsticks through the side of the bottle opening. Slowly he started to twist the handle clockwise and the cork slowly rose up. But then it stopped just as it was halfway up.
“I can’t get to go any farther!” Xaldin panted.
“Let me try.” Zexion said.
“No let me do it again. You’re pushing it down farther than it already was.”
“Look its coming up. See?”
“Great, now it’s stuck again. Way to go emo-head!”
“I’m not emo, I’m depressed!”
“Oh I’m Zexion, my life is soo miserable that I’m always reading and writing little emo poems in my red velvet diary. I think I’ll go cut my wrists with Xemnas’s razor.” Xaldin mocked Zexion.
“Shut up you two. I’ll go get a wrench to pull of the cork.” Lexaeus said, obviously irritated with the argument. A few seconds later, Lexaeus came back with a slightly rusty wrench. Xaldin took it and tried pulling, but the cork stayed firmly in place.
“Ugh! This thing will not budge!” Xaldin yelled.
“Why don’t you smash the bottle over someone’s head? Y’know, like a bar fight? Xiaphos said
“That’s a great idea, now only if I could find someone STUPID enough to want pieces of glass stuck in their skull, then we’ll be fine! Xaldin yelled at her.
“Try Demyx, his skull is thick and hollow.”
“Hey!” Demyx yelled.
“I just remembered! I bought a cork screw opener while we were in Destiny Islands!” Axel exclaimed
“Great! Now were did you put it?” Xaldin said, his face lightening up a little bit.
“I forgot.”
“Well that’s REALLY going to help us Axel!”
“I’ll go look for it while my cake is in the oven.” Xiaphos said, trying to stop the two from arguing. Xiaphos then ran off towards the bed rooms. Everything then seemed to calm down in the kitchen. Zexion continued marinating the chicken and Xaldin was busy making all the side dishes.
“I found it  ♥” Xiaphos yelled in sing-song voice. In a few moments she was back in the kitchen holding a shiny new cork screw.
“And lookit, it’s yellow!”
“That’s great Xiaphos, now let me open the wine.” Xaldin said, holding his hand out. Xiaphos handed it over and Xaldin began twisting it into the cork.
“Where’d ya find it?” Zexion asked.
“It was in Saix’s room for some reason, along with a few swords, a mace, an ax, and one of those coffins with all the spikes in it.” Xiaphos replied.
Everyone just shuddered at the thought as to why Saix would have such dangerous devices in his room. Then *POP*! The corkscrew went flying off the bottle.
“YES!” Xaldin yelled dancing around the kitchen gleefully.
“Now that everything has been prepared and is in the ovens, why don’t we take a break?” Xiaphos asked.
“That sounds like a good idea. Let’s meet back here in about an hour, and then the food should be ready. Axel, you stay here in case anything starts burning then notify one of us.” Zexion said. Then everyone left the kitchen to do what they wanted, except a certain pyromaniac and his little follower.
“Hey Axel, wanna see what Xemnas and Saix are really doing in the Superior’s chambers?”
“But I don’t wanna see any yaoi, and I have to stay here to make sure nothing burns.”
“Think about it, if we catch them, we’re talking blackmail for months! We could make them our personal slaves!” Xiaphos said, trying to suppress and evil laugh.
“I like the way you’re thinking, but who’s gonna watch the food?” Axel asked
“Luxord owes me a favor for beating him in poker.”
“Well if that’s the case, I call Saix!” Axel yelled as the destructive duo ran off to find Luxord. After getting Luxord to agree to watch the food, the two sprinted off towards Xemnas’s chambers. Within a few minutes, Axel and Xiaphos had reached a set of giant double doors that had a roman one printed clearly across the top.
“Axel, why are we here?”
“Did you forget? We’re here to spy remember?”
“Yeah, and if the Superior and Saix are doing what I think they’re doing, they’re not going to leave the door open for someone to walk right in on them while they’re making out.” Xiaphos stated.
“Well, you do have a point. What do you suggest we do then?” Axel asked
“Can you fit through one of the air-vents?”


“Man it’s tight in here.” Axel complained.
“Quit yer yapping and hand me the map.” Xiaphos said, extending a hand behind her.
“Here.” Axel said as he handed over the map.
“This is perfect. Where did you find it?”
“In Saix’s room for some reason, along with a few swords, a-“
“I know what he keeps in his room. I’ve been there.”
“Oh right. So how much longer do we have to crawl in these air vents before we reach ol’ Mansex’s room? Because I’m getting sick of looking at your rear to be frank.”
“Not much longer, and you better get used to looking at my rear, cause that’s how it’s going to be as long as we’re in these vents.” Xiaphos retorted
“Why can’t I lead the way?” Axel complained.
“Because I have the map.” Xiaphos waved the map in front of his face
“But I’m your Superior!” Axel yelled
“Shh! We’re here.” Xiaphos said as she removed the grate from the bottom of the vent. Quietly she peered down into Xemnas’s quite large, living quarters. She only stuck her head out enough so that she could see the room, but not so far that she could be seen.
“I can’t find them!” She yelled back in a whisper
“Did you check the desk area?” Axel called back.
“I naturally assumed they’d be in the bed.”
“God you’re sick.”
Xiaphos ignored Axel’s last comment and directed her attention to the fire place towards the back of the room, there was Xemnas and Saix. Doing paperwork, how boring! She thought to herself.
“Hey! What’s going on up there? I can’t see anything from back here.”
Xiaphos was about to say that they were doing paper work, until she got an idea. An evil grin spread across her face as she called back,
“Holy shizbits! Saix has Xemnas in a choke hold! Don’t do it Saix! Don’t do it!”
“WHAAA?!?! Let me see!” Axel yelled eagerly as he climbed over Xiaphos and peered down.
“Liar, they’re doing paper work.” Axel said as he looked down at Xiaphos, obviously disgusted at her and disappointed that they were just doing paper work.
“Get off of me!” Xiaphos said, rolling over on her back, trying to get Axel off of her.
“Why?”
“Do you see how suggestive this pose is?”
And indeed it was, Axel had his knees spread across Xiaphos’s waist, one on each side, and his hands on Xiaphos’s shoulders.
“Oh I see, because I could easily have my way with you in this position. Or even kiss you.”
“Exactly, now get off.” Xiaphos said trying to free her shoulders from Axel’s grip.
“Aww, why? You don’t like kisses?” He mocked, pushing his chest a little towards hers.
“Yes, they are disgusting.”
“I’ll show you that they’re not.” Axel said as he leaned forward a little.
“Eww, get AWAY from me!” Xiaphos yelled a Axel was nearing her face, then *CRACK*
“Axel stopped a few inches from her face, his eyes wide with fear,
“W-What was that?” He asked, his voice slightly shaking.
“I dunno, but it can’t be goo- AAAAAHHHHH” Xiaphos was cut off when the base of the vent collapsed under their combined weight.

“Did you hear something Saix?” Xemnas asked as he looked up from the paperwork he was doing.
“Yes, it sounded like some screams of disgust then a cracking noise. It’s pretty close to us too. Why, I’d even say it was right above us.” Saix replied, also looking up from his work.
“Wonder what it could be.” Xemnas said, though he had lost interest in the subject a while ago.
A few seconds later they heard screams then they covered in plaster dust.
“What *cough* was THAT?!?!” Xemnas said trying to see through the dust. Not even a few seconds after he said that did he get his answer.

“Ugh! You sick pervert!”
“I was just kidding.”
“Right, Like I was kidding about what I thought Saix and Xemnas were doing in here.”
“Wait, you were serious? You sicko!”
“Well you agreed to come along.”
“Yeah, because I thought we might get some blackmail then turn those two into our personal servants.”
“Well if you hadn’t climbed on top of me in that cramped space then maybe we wouldn’t have fallen through the vent.”
“It was YOUR stupid idea to use the vent.”
“And what, ‘Let’s just knock on the door and they’ll open it and let us see what they’re doing’ Wasn’t stupid?”
“Well you never know about these things. Do ya now?”
“I know that they’re not going to leave the door wide open. Any idiot would know that.”
“Are you calling me an idiot?”
“Yeah, you gonna cry?”
“I am your SUPERIOR! S, U, P, E, R, I, O, R. Got it memorized? You are not allowed to lash out against me like that!”
“What are YOU gonna do ‘bout it? Huh? HUH?”
“I’ll punish you severely!”
“Oh noes, the weak little anorexic wants to hurt me. What should I do?”
“That’s IT! You, me, Shadow the Hedgehog shoot out! Loser has to kiss the winner, and do whatever he/she says for the rest of the day. Not to mention the loser must wear a French maid’s outfit while doing so.”
“You’re on! My Shadow is gonna whoop your Shadow’s hide so bad that it’s CARCASS is gonna just sit and twitch on the side of the road while the flies slowly eat away it’s bloody and mutilated skin. And so what if the loser has to kiss the winner, like I CARE!”
“Oh, it has to be on the lips.”
“Yeah, you’re gonna be kissing me alright. Kissing my @$$ when I beat you!”
“Hope Luxord has a French maid outfit your size.”
“Be ready to- HEY WHAT’S GOING ON?”
Axel and Xiaphos were cut off from their arguing when Saix picked them up from the scruffs of their necks and dragged them over to Xemnas, who was leaning on his desk. His brow was furrowed, his arms were crossed, and his fingers were tapping impatiently to the rhythm of his twitching eye.
“You two better have one HECK of an explanation for THIS!” He yelled at Xiaphos and Axel as he indicated the rest of the room, which was covered in plaster bits and metal. And for the first time in Xiaphos’s time as an Organization member, she was actually down right terrified of Xemnas. Now she knew why he was the Superior and why he was feared by other members.
“Well, uh, you see, and uh, we were just-” Axel tried protesting

“ENOUGH OF YOUR BABBLING!!!” Xemnas yelled, just inches from Axel’s face.

“HEY! L-leave him a-alone!” Xiaphos yelled, trying to get Xemnas away from Axel. She was confident at first, but she slowly shirked away when she saw the fury in his eyes.

“Why should I? In case you have forgotten number XIII, I am the SUPERIOR of this Organization. YOU do NOT boss ME AROUND! Shall I remind what I am CAPABLE of? Or are you confessing for this crime?” Xemnas said, lifting Xiaphos up from Saix’s grip.

“I-I-” Xiaphos stammered

“SPEAK ALREADY!”

“Xemnas, back off, she’s just a child!” Axel protested in her defense.

“Child or not, let’s hear what she has to say for herself!” Xemnas hissed at Axel, but he didn’t take his eyes off of Xiaphos.

“I-It was my idea to sneak through the vents. It was just for fun and *gulp* games. I didn’t know that this would happen. I’m really sorry sir, it will never h-happen again.” Xiaphos said, tears welling up in her eyes. Not tears of sadness, but of fear of what Xemnas would do to her. She knew that he could easily tear her apart, with that immense strength of his. Right now, Xiaphos was fearing for her life. Xemnas loosed his grip on Xiaphos and let her fall to the floor. For a moment he just stared at her, and listened to her gentle sobs. He let out a sigh then turned his attention to Axel as well,

“I’ve been easy on you two because you are both quite young, but I’ve had enough of your tomfoolery and I believe it’s time that you two take responsibility for your actions. I’m afraid that you’ve run out of second chances, and now I cannot hold back in my punishments. I know Xiaphos is not even as old as Roxas, but she must learn this lesson while she’s young. So maybe she won’t turn out like you, Axel. I need some time to think of a suitable punishment for Xiaphos. So you two may go for now, and I’ll announce my decision in the morning.” Then he turned his back on Axel and Xiaphos and stared out the window. Saix let go of his grip on Axel so that he could get Xiaphos and leave. Sullenly, the destructive duo walked out of Xemnas’s chambers. Xiaphos clinging to Axel the whole way. Once they had left, Saix slowly approached Xemnas.
“Superior, are you alright?” Saix asked Xemnas, trying not to anger him anymore than he already was.
“Saix… Do you think that I’m making the right decision?” Xemnas asked his blue haired subordinate.
“I’m sorry Superior, but I don’t know.”
“It’s hard trying to raise a child, trying to put them on the right path. I just don’t Xiaphos to go on the wrong path. Like I did.”
“Xemnas, we don’t have hearts. You cannot care about Xiaphos or her future, it is not possible.” Saix said.
“Hmph, I guess you’re right. Saix, there’s something you should know.”
“What is it?”
“When Xehanort was working as Ansem’s apprentice, one day he decided to look through some of Ansem’s files. Just out of sheer curiosity, for Ansem had been leaving frequently for the past few days. Never giving a reason as to why. So he searched, though he didn’t find anything. So he resorted to following Ansem on his outings, staying close behind in the shadows. Do you know what he discovered Saix?”
“No, what was it?”
“He had been visiting a young lady, in her mid thirties. She had just had a new-born baby. He would come over and help take care of the baby while the weary mother took a nap. One day, Xehanort was a little too risky and he was caught by Ansem. Ansem being the open man that he was, explained everything to Xehanort. You see, Ansem had a wife, but she died shortly after having his child. So he raised the child until she became of age to go out on her own. Ansem keep his relationship with his daughter a secret, for if anyone found out about her, she would be in grave danger because Ansem had many enemies. They would use her as bait to lure him to his doom. So he never mentioned her. But recently, his daughter had a child of her own. The infant’s name was,”
“Yes, what was it?” Saix asked, a slight eagerness in his voice
“Sophia.”
“But Superior, you don’t mean. Does this mean?”
“Yes, Xiaphos is Ansem the Wise’s grand-daughter. And I’ve known her since she was a baby. You see, one day, Ansem got really sick. So he sent me over to help take care of Sophia. She was one heck of baby.”
“What was she like?”
“She screamed….. a lot, not to mention that she pulled on my hair constantly, when she wasn’t throwing objects around with telekinesis. But she was cute. Once Ansem recovered, I never saw her again. Until Larxene brought her here the day Axel and Luxord killed her parents. She’s changed a lot. But, these pranks and tricks must stop. She has to be disciplined, so does Axel. I swear, sometimes she’s almost as bad as he is. It’ll be interesting how my decision affects her.”
“I’m not surprised that she acted like that. Remember on New Years when you entrusted her to me? She wouldn’t stop teleporting around my room. As for the decision, I have no idea how it’s gonna affect her. But you’re right, it’ll be interesting.”

“Man, I can’t believe Xemnas got so mad at us. It’s not the first time we cost him thousands of munny. Do ya think he cracked? I mean, he brought you to tears, I’ve never seen that happen. Hey, you alright Xiaphos?” Axel asked his partner in crime.
“Yeah, I guess so.” Xiaphos said, just barely above a whisper.
“Listen, I was just joking about the kiss thing, you know that right? I wasn’t really gonna kiss you.”
“Oh, okay then.”
“Something’s bothering you, what’s up?”
“It’s nothing, it’s just I finally see why Xemnas is the Superior.”
“He must’ve scared you, huh?”
“That look of fury in his eyes, no one has ever gotten that mad at me before. It was really startling. And I scared of what my punishment might be.” Xiaphos confessed.
“Don’t stress about it, I’m sure it’s not going to be too bad.” Axel said.
“What if I’m banished from the Organization? What then? I have no where to go.”
“I’m sure that he’s not gonna do THAT. But if that’s the case, let’s spend the rest of the day having fun.” Axel suggested.
“Yeah, let’s do that!” Xiaphos said brightening up a little.
“You thinking what I’m thinkin’?”
“Shadow the Hedgehog shoot out, followed by Sonic Adventure 2 Battle chao races, then we’ll finish off with some Mario Party.” Xiaphos said.
“My chao is soo gonna beat your chao.”
“Don’t count on it; I’ve been raising Iggy 24-7 lately.” Xiaphos retorted.
“Say, do you smell something burning?” Axel asked.
“Don’t joke around like that Axel.”
“No, I’m serious.”
“Oh NO! The food in the kitchen! Xemnas is gonna have our heads for this! No wait, correction, Vexen’s gonna freeze us after giving us a lecture, then Saix is gonna break the ice with his claymore, THEN Xemnas is gonna have our heads. Then he’ll probably hang them in front of his room as a warning to other members.”
“I’ll stick to Xemnas having our heads, thank you.” Axel said making a face.

“Oh, my, GOD!!! LUXORD!” Axel yelled as soon as he got in the kitchen.
“We asked you to watch the food! Now look what you’ve done!” Xiaphos said.
The kitchen was covered in that foam that you use to put out fires, and the oven was coated in ice.
“What happened here?!?!” Axel half yelled half questioned.
“I was going to ask you two the same question.”
“AAAHHH!!! Vexen! We thought you were busy setting the table!” Axel and Xiaphos
“I was, until the kitchen went up in flames. What were you two thinking leaving Luxord to watch the food?”
“We thought he was gonna watch the food.” Xiaphos replied.
“Don’t get wise with me number XIII. I am your Superior!” Vexen said, trying to control his anger.
“Hey Axel, that’s what, the second time today that someone’s called my by my rank, and the third that someone has told me that they’re Superior? Am I right?” Xiaphos asked.
“I believe you are.” Axel replied.
“Dude, that means we have gotten in trouble more times today than any other day. HIGH FIVE!” Xiaphos said as Axel slapped her hand.
“Um guys, hate to break it to you, that’s NOT a good thing. If the Superior finds out, or worse, Saix finds out, you’re gonna be in hot water.” Vexen warned.
“Yeah *hic* what the nice lady over there *hic* said.” Luxord said, trying not to slur his words.
“Luxord, are you drunk?” Axel asked, picking Luxord’s head up from the table.
“I swear to drunk I’m not God *hic*.”
“But how?” Axel wondered to himself.
“Look.” Xiaphos said as she indicated an empty wine bottle on the counter.
“That was supposed to be for dinner tonight! You knew that Luxord! Why did you drink all of that?!?!” Axel asked, slightly agitated
“*sob* Stop being so mean! I mean, it was free wine! FREE!!! Who wouldn’t drink it. *sob*.” Luxord said just before he passed out on the counter.
“Luxord. Luxord?” Xiaphos asked as she nudged him.
“Eww Xiaphos, don’t touch that! You don’t know where he’s been!” Vexen said, quite repulsed.
“It’s Luxord! Not some road kill!”
“He sure looks like it though.” Axel said as he eyed Luxord’s messy hair.
“Well, now that dinner is ruined, what do you suggest we do?” Vexen asked Axel and Xiaphos.
“Hmm, we could go out for dinner at some fancy restaurant!” Axel suggested.
“Great, too bad we don’t know of any fancy restaurants that we haven’t been kicked out of yet.” Vexen said.
“Um, well, I kinda belong to a country club.” Xiaphos said meagerly.
“How in God’s name do you belong to a COUNTRY CLUB?!?!” Axel and Vexen asked.
“My parents used to belong there before a certain pyro ran them over. The deal is that we have to spend $500 dollars there, prepaid of course, before the season ends. Why don’t we go there?”
“Country club, country club, I like the sound of that!” Vexen exclaimed.
“Good, now dress nicely, that means no sweat pants, and no weapons. Those are the only rules.” Xiaphos explained
“Heck those sound easy enough to follow! I’ll go tell everybody!” Vexen said as he ran off towards Xigbar’s bed room.
“Well, I guess we should get ready then.” Axel said sullenly.
“I think we still have time for a shoot out, what do ya say?” Xiaphos asked.
“I CALL THE BLUE ANDROID!!!” Axel yelled as he ran towards the game room.
“Wait, NO FAIR!!! YOU KNOW I LIKE THE BLUE ONE!!!” Xiaphos called after him as she started chasing Axel.

An hour and a half later

Everyone was waiting in the Gummi Garage for Axel, Xiaphos, Saix, and Xemnas to come down. The first to arrive was Xiaphos, who was followed close behind by Axel.
“Axel, why are you wearing a French maid outfit?” Larxene asked, trying not to make eye contact.
“Xiaphos and I made a bet and I lost, so I have to wear this and do whatever she says for the rest of the day.” Axel grumbled.
“You can’t wear THAT in public! Go and change quickly before the Superior comes down!” Vexen said as he ushered Axel out of the room.
“But, what about the bet?” Axel asked Xiaphos, trying to fight off Vexen as best as he could in a French maid outfit.
“You’re excused for now. But when we get back, I expect you to put it make on, oh, and while you’re up there, could you ask Xemnas and Saix what’s taking them so long. Thanks, you’re a doll.” Xiaphos said, waving her hand as Axel was shoved towards the door.
“Doll, I’ll show her doll once I get out of this outfit.” Axel mummered under his breath.
Once Axel was out of sight, everyone started laughing at how ridiculous Axel looked.
“Oh GOD! That was rich! I can’t believe he let you treat him like that Xiaphos. I can’t believe I forgot my camera!” Zexion said between laughs.
“What’s so funny?”
Everyone turned to the doorway to see Axel standing there with Vexen. He was wearing a maroon suit with a simple blouse underneath.
“Oh nothing.” Marluxia answered Axel.
“Hmm, all right then.” Axel said, dismissing the issue.
“So did you find out what’s taking Xemnas and Saix so long?” Xiaphos asked
“Yeah, they were busy making out.” Axel replied
“OMG!!! Really?” Xiaphos’s face lit up.
“No.”
“Aww man!” Xiaphos snapped her fingers in disappointment.
“Why I’d never thought I’d see the day. Xiaphos is wearing a dress. And what a shame, I forgot my camera.” A calm, yet sadistic voice echoed through the garage.
“You got a problem with that Sailor Moon? Yeah, I’m wearing a dress, Big whoop-dee-do. Call the press; I’m dressing like a girl. “Cause y’know Saix, that just happens to be my GENDER!!!” Xiaphos yelled back.
“Whoops, I had forgotten, since you don’t act like one, plus your chest is pretty small too.” Saix retorted, indicating her chest.
“I will not have you sexually harassing my friend Saix! Come down here and fight me you jerk!” Axel yelled up.
“Friends?” Saix asked, floating down from the top of the stair case.
“Axel you don’t have a heart, you cannot feel friendship. And if you ask me, it seems like you’re a little more than friends.” Saix said, closing the distance between himself and Axel.
“No one was asking you, besides don’t you have to go kiss the Superior’s butt now? I think you missed your daily session, and he’s going to be very mad with you. And you know what? You’re right, Xiaphos and I are more than friends, we’re BEST friends. And maybe if you weren’t such a sadist, maybe you’d have a few too.” Axel said poking Saix in the chest.
“Enough you two, I don’t want to get any blood stains on the floor.”
Axel turned around to come face to face with Xemnas.
“AH! Superior! See what happened was Saix was sexually harra-“
“I heard the whole argument. And to tell you the truth, Saix,” Xemnas turned his head towards Saix, “I’m very disappointed in you to stoop so low as to make fun of Xiaphos in that manner, just so you could put her down. I thought I taught you better.”
“But Superior I-“ Saix tried protesting.
“I don’t want to hear it. Let’s just get in the ship.” Xemnas said turning around to get in the gummi ship. Everyone followed his lead and filed into the gummi ship.
“Umm, Superior?” Xiaphos called out barely above a whisper. Xemnas stopped in his tracks and turned around. Everyone stopped and turned to face Xemnas and Xiaphos.
“Go on, I’ll get on in a minute.” Xemnas said. Everyone just shrugged their shoulders and boarded the ship. When Axel walked by Xiaphos he leaned over and said,
“Listen, if he gives you any trouble about what happened earlier today, or tries to hurt you, let me know and I’ll kick his butt for you.” Then he continued walking on and brushed Xemnas’s shoulder, then gave him a look that literally read,
“Don’t even think about hurting her, or I’ll kill you.”
“Yes, what is it Xiaphos?” Xemnas asked, taking a few steps towards her.
“I just w-wanted to say t-thanks for standing up for me, a-and that you look really nice tonight.” She said, her face blushing.
“You’re welcome. I will not stand for sexual harassment from any of my members, not even Saix. And thank you, you look very nice too. That dress looks great on you. And don’t let what Saix said stop you from dressing like a girl.” He replied, looking her in the eye, though her eyes kept flashing around the room.
“Come along, we’re keeping the others waiting.” Xemnas said as he put his hand on Xiaphos’s back and gave her a gentle push towards the ship. One they were all inside the ship, Xaldin started up the engines and they took off towards Hollow Bastion. Xiaphos took a seat next to Axel and Demyx towards the back of the ship.
“Look at him in his fancy all white suit and black tie with his freshly polished shoes, he thinks he’s all that doesn’t he?” Axel scoffed at Xemnas, who was sitting in the front of the ship.
“He looks nice, and so do you Axel.” Xiaphos said.
“Oh uh, thanks Xiaphos. Did he try to make a move on you? Did he hurt you? I’ll kill that bas***d if he did!”
“Chill out Axel, he didn’t hurt me. Nor did he try to make a move on me.” Xiaphos reassured the now furious Axel.
“What did you say to him?” Demyx asked.
“None of you beeswax!” Axel replied.
“No it’s cool, I just thanked him for standing up for me and that he looked nice tonight. That’s all.”
“What did he say back?”
“He said that he won’t stand for sexual harassment and that I look nice too.” Xiaphos said.
“That enough for ya Demyx?” Axel asked.
“Man Axel, why are you so worked up?”
“It’s just that I can’t stand to look at those two Xiaphos. Xemnas thinking he’s all high and mighty, and Saix always sucking up to him. And because he does that he’s always let off the hook. Saix is just a perfect little angel isn’t he? Let’s just forget how many people he’s killed to get more hearts for his precious Superior. He’s always showing us up that little Superior’s pet.”
At that moment, Saix’s super sharp hearing kicked in, and he heard the last bit of Axel’s conversation with Xiaphos and Demyx.
“WHAT DID YOU JUST CALL ME?!?!” Saix asked Axel as he arose from his seat. Axel just sat there slightly reclined in his seat with his arms folded and acted like nothing had happened.
“You heard me, Fido.”
Saix’s hair slowly began rising up and his canine’s grew longer and sharper.
“You’ll pay for that!” He hissed.
“Saix sit down.” Xemnas ordered. Almost immediately he returned to his normal state and sat back down next to Xemnas.
“Good boy!” Axel praised. Then Xiaphos decided to lean forward and pat Saix’s head, just to irritate him more.
“You two are already in a lot of trouble, I wouldn’t add to it if I were you.” Saix called back, still agitated that Axel and Xiaphos had the nerve to mock him.
