YouxZexion Part5

"Yes my dear," his voice remained unchanged, as he played with my hair.

"Are you alright," he was beginning to worry me immensely.

"Better than ever, sorry for not coming home sooner," he wooed getting closing the gap between our lips. Zexion was so formal before, he only kissed my cheek. He never kissed me again, and why would he kiss me in another form? I shoved him away.

"_____-chan run it's not Zexion you dummy! It's Xehanort he has a different appearance as a nobody," Serena finally appeared again. She tugged on my arm and glared at Xemnas.

"Please get away from me," I cried. I tried to slap him, but he grasped onto my wrist.

"Serena you're just the same as you were all those years ago," Xemnas sneered evilly.

"I'm not Serena! I'm _____!" I yanked myself out of his grasp and tried to escape through the door.

"_____-chan? Please try to understand my intentions," he proceeded towards me quickly. I fumbled with the door handle and unlocked it just in time.
I sprinted as fast as my legs could carry me screaming, "Your intentions are sick! Zexion! ZEXION PLEASE HELP ME!" Zexion appeared from a corridor of darkness. He had bruises on his cheeks and marks on his neck. He appeared to have been mercilessly beaten. A single tear rolled down my cheek.

"Take my hand _____-chan," Zexion grasped onto my hand and pulled me through it. My heart felt weak and I lost much of my energy going through it. I forgot Zexion had explained that I shouldn't pass through these portals. It was because my pure heart would be exposed to darkness. Exiting the portal Zexion dropped to his knees in pain.

"It was a trap. They restrained me and Xaldin beat the answers out of me, but I lied. Xemnas knew all along and it wasn't because of Vexen. There is a silent traitor among us. How did Xemnas find out when the other members knew nothing about you!? Axel and Roxas aren't even involved.  Axel never involves himself in these petty matters unless he benefits, and Roxas wasn't aware of any of this. Something went wrong in my plan! _____-chan is there anyone you know that knew about your power," Zexion was flustered, and he struggled to breath from being choked earlier. I placed a hand on his back, and his back
glowed faintly. Until his bruises had vanished, I pondered on who knew.

"Hayner," I murmured. It all made sense Hayner was the only one with knowledge of my light. My heart dropped, and I pushed the thought out of my head. Hayner would never do such a thing… Would he? Regardless of reviving Zexion's health, he was still suffering in more ways than one. He had gone sleepless nights analyzing every possible situation that he might have encountered. The locks and the spells he used to protect me were futile. I had no clue where we were, but all I knew was that Zexion needed to recuperate. We were in an abandoned, desolate room with one window. The rain had returned and made visibility out of the window was impossible. Zexion dropped to his side in exhaustion. Something must have happened to a point where he was drained of his energy. I stooped down to his level; hence I placed my hand onto his chest and channeled my energy to heal him. His tired eyes locked on me and his face remained the same almost as if he was numb.

"You know someone don't you _____-chan," he read straight through my true eyes even with his difficulty speaking. I forcefully turned my head in another direction, "Please _____ tell me!"
Was telling Zexion more important than betraying my best friend? My virtues were skewed and my lips trembled. Why did this have to happen to me? Tears raced to the corner of my stressed, furrowed, forlorn eyes.

"_____-chan do what you think is right. He will understand you," Serena reassured me warmly.

"I have someone in mind, but I want to make sure."
He managed to sit up and nod at my response.

"There's something else I have to share with you. Xehanort killed Serena while seeking a pure heart."
Zexion's eyes widened and he clenched his fists, "I should have known, but what's the past is the past."

"Right you are Zexion," Vexen jumped out of a corridor of darkness and studied the two of us on the ground together. He chuckled before pacing over to us.

"Vexen what are you doing here," I inquired with confusion spread across my face.

"Being with Zexion isn't what you thought it would be correct? Xemnas is enamored with a somebody just like you are Zexion. I've decided to help you. There's a building not too far away from here. I used it as a secret lab, just in case if something were to happen to the one in the base. My goodness it only took a month. Do you know who the snitch is?" Vexen was a blowhard, but there was always an important point he would say at the end of every rant. In conclusion, you had to hang onto his every word until the very end to get to the point. He was wise and knew inside information but was extremely quirky. Tensions were high and I felt like bawling my eyes out. I wanted to clamp my ears shut and make everything disappear; as if I were to close my eyes tight enough this horrid place would be gone. I would wake up in my bed and I would realize I overslept. Things would be normal again. I could hang out with the gang: Hayner, Pence and Olette. The torturous stone wall I scale to get into my bedroom. Ever since Zexion entered my life things were never the same.  My mind had created an obsession for him I couldn't explain to myself. The times I shared with him over this past month were unforgettable. I felt like I had found my purpose in life. 'We were meant for each other.' I would remind myself each passing time he left me in the room alone. Vexen view was that the love we shared was just a sham and a fake fairytale. I held my hands over my throbbing fragile heart, and got to my feet.

"Look into my heart and what do you see? A somebody with substantial powers I cannot explain. If what I know is true, what I see is true, and what I feel is true, I know my love for Zexion is true too. We were meant for meant for each other. If becoming a nobody prevents auxiliary suffering to Zexion, then that is my choice. Vexen I know you are not telling me something. Please tell me who the snitch is and please help us," this voice was not my own, but Serena herself saw that I was in dire need of help and spoke for me. Her soft voice echoed about the room faintly. Vexen and Zexion were skeptical of my change in mental states. Vexen was the first to realize what had just happened and smiled.

"Serena lives inside of you. How interesting she wanted to see Ienzo, rendering the fact that you are attracted to Zexion. This is clearly dejavu only this time Xemnas has different plans in store."

"Vexen tell me who the snitch is," Serena snapped at his ridiculing.

"A boy named Hayner told Xemnas himself about the girl with pure light. In exchange for this information, he told this Hayner figure that he'd lend him power to defeat Zexion. Zexion is your so called 'kidnapper' and Hayner intends to save you. Quite amusing isn't it? Do you know how many men are fascinated by you? Let's see there's: Hayner, Xemnas, Zexion and probably many more."

"Vexen," Zexion finally snarled at Vexen's unwanted commentary on the whole situation.

Vexen chuckled arrogantly, "Sorry for my lack sympathy, but I cannot feel." Zexion staggered when he stood up and wrapped his arms around me. A chill spread throughout the room and made me shiver. Everything went dark and I remember gravity yanked my down to the ground. However I never hit the cold floor.

"_____-chan please calm down. I didn't mean to put you to sleep like this but I," Serena's voice was cut shortly before finishing her thought. I opened my eyes and recognized that I was experiencing Serena's past again. There was a boy with spikey red hair walking beside me; he resembled axel in multiple ways. The two of us walked down the familiar streets. They reminded me of Twilight Town.

~Serena's P.O.V.~

"So you see Ienzo everyday Serena?"

"Yeah we used to play together every day until his parents died," I numbly explained to a boy several years older than me. He noticed and punched my shoulder playfully and shone a comforting smile.

"That's kind of you," he admitted without thought.

"Well he's locked up in that lab all day he needs a friend. Hey where are we going Lea?"

"I want to take you to my favorite ice cream place," he took my hand and led the way quickly. I had never been through this part of town before. We passed a colorful, lovely fragrant flower shop and a beautifully carved marble-fountain. Behind the fountain was an ice cream shop. Large cerulean blue umbrellas shaded the tables beneath from the scorching sun. Today was alright with the refreshing sea breeze; Lea took me inside. The menu overwhelmed me and had such a variety.

"So do you have an idea for what you want," Lea asked with a hint of curiosity.

"I'd like to try sea-salt ice cream."

"I'll get pistachio. Can I try your ice cream?"

"Sure," it was silly to see Lea acting this way.   
After Lea paid for the ice cream he took the ice cream out of my hands and took a bite.

"LEA," I scolded him. I snatched the ice cream back from him.

"This is pretty good I'm gonna get this from now on," he smirked. We sat in the shade at a glass table. I watched the fountain intently. I directed my attention back to Lea to realize he watched me carefully.

"Ienzo would love this. I should bring him some tomorrow." Lea hesitated like the words he was looking for weren't quite there, but they were there. He slightly nodded to what I said.

"Is there enough room in your heart for me," Lea's eyes narrowed seeking the answer in my eyes.

"Lea?" Was he trying to say he loved me? I felt my face burn up in embarrassment.

"Never mind it's too much to ask," he shook his head in disappointment.

"I'm sorry Lea," I could think of nothing else but to apologize.

"Lea, are we hanging out today," Isa was leaning against a nearby wall observing the awkward scene.

"Yeah," Lea finished his ice cream and took his leave without saying another word to me. I felt devastated that I had to break his heart that way, but my heart was with Ienzo. I blacked out again.

~ Serena's P.O.V. end~

"Serena why did you show me this," I finally got a word in.

"I feel like you should know. By the way I thought I might inform you this time, but Lea is Axel. Isa is Saix in your time. I'm saving you the trouble of finding out _____-chan."
I opened my eyes slowly and woke up in a warm, comforting bed.

"Where am I," I pondered. The room was plain and held no personal belongings except for a dresser and a bathroom in the next room. Outside of the room was a lab. This must be Vexen's spare room.

"You awake now," Zexion whispered sweetly in my ears. He was lying beside me in bed smiling.

"How long have I been sleeping?" His attractive eyes skimmed over me.

"For some time," he seemed much better than from before which made me feel relieved, "We're you having a bad dream _____-chan? You were tossing and turning constantly."

"Kind of, Zexion do we have to avoid every member except for Vexen," I yearned to know who to avoid.
  
"At this point I would strongly say to prevent confrontation from the rest. In the meantime, I think it would be best if you talked to Hayner," Zexion decided kissing my flushed cheek.

"Zexion you don't have to kiss my cheek," I giggled. He turned shades of red and leaned in closer. He managed to peck me on the lips this time softly. His silk soft, luscious lips pressed against mine briefly.  He cupped my cheeks and tilted his head to continue momentarily. Vexen barged in.

"Did I interrupt something? I have a favor to ask… May I borrow _____-chan?" Zexion stepped out of bed in only his boxers. He must be washing his clothes and had received a change of clothes from Vexen.

"I want to become a nobody after I talk to Hayner," I presented my thoughts to Vexen and Zexion, "I just don't know how." Vexen held out his hand hoping to have yet another orb of light. I reluctantly drew more power from my heart and plopped the orb into his greedy hands.  I stepped out of bed and starred out the window. The rain hadn't lifted and a flash of lightening lit the sky brightly. Zexion's worried eyes didn't want me to go.

He wrapped his arms around me and finally spoke, "Let me send you to Twilight Town. I cannot go with you but Vexen will bring you back when you provide a signal from your heart. The orb will react with these calls and he will open up a portal for you." Zexion yearned to go, but it was best if he healed completely before pulling an ignorant stunt. Vexen opened up a corridor of darkness. Teleporting through it my heart was feeble here. Once passing through it, it was nice to see my home town again. Ironically I ended up at the stone wall. Hayner's house was only on the other side. The rain pelted me harder than ever before. Lighting cut through the sky like a knife cutting through a soft piece of cake. The clouds swirled and darkened as the wind picked up at high speeds. My clothes rippled and frolicked in the violent winds. I felt the anxiety punch me in the stomach and my throat started to water. I knew when these two things occurred, throwing up was inevitable. I dreaded the knowing the truth. Why did the truth have to tear me up? I made my way towards the steps and knocked on the door.

"Hey what are you doing," I turned around to find.
