Notes: okay, some SPOILERS!!! So just to be safe, there is some spoilers, concerning names and characters, so yeah. Also, no idea how Sephiroth is O_O, sorry, and this is how I wish things were, sigh. Hope it ain’t too bad!!       A Whole New World     The sun was the down but the heat was still overwhelming. The marble floor was cool, but it was still, way, too hot for his liking and yes, the air was nice, but it did little to calm the heat. Not to mention boring. He had to talk about contracts and treaties he hardly remembered. He hardly remembered who he was and it turned out he was some big villain, which sounds a lot more exciting than his life right now. May be that is why he took villainy as his job?       If anyone asked him why he did it, he couldn’t say. He didn’t even remember who he was! Sometimes he wished he could remember, just a bit. He wasn’t sure if to belief it or not, but he wasn’t all innocent and good, so it could be a possibility. Yet, the whole idea of darkness and taking over the world sounds too complicated. This is weird because he was supposed to be a scientist, which he believes because he may not remember his life and memories but he remembers the formula for chemicals. The fact stands, there is a big probability he was evil before, and now has a second chance which is why he doesn’t remember anything. He gets a feeling he may never remember, and well, if he never remembers he can make new memories. By the look of things, they will all be boring memories, if he lives any longer than the next week, that is.         Because leaving someone in a room, all alone, with nothing to do, in this intense heat, was totally something he never did. No mater how evil he was before; he never did something this evil. Sometimes, he wondered, what did he do when he was evil? He was not bored to death, hopefully, because that would be a messed up life. Bored in his first life, and now bored in his second life. Them, people, didn’t care at all for him!! They were afraid he would go crazy and go on a killing spree. He knew for sure, if he remained cooped up any longer, he will go crazy, and just to kill boredom.       He could see it now, ‘Sir Ansem or Xehanort, is it? Well, what made you do those evil things?’ and he would just shrug and say casually. ‘They adopted me, but never had time with me and didn’t care for me at all! They always abused me!! It was all too much and I got bored!!!’ he would fake some tears and run out. Hmm, so may be it wasn’t that hard to belief he was a villain, before. He would still plead innocent of such events; it was in his nature after all, though it may not work too well anymore.   Laughing and splashing could be heard not too far from there. “Great. I have to be stuck here, and they get to play and cool down? I bet they are being loud on purpose!!” Xehanort growled, crossing his arms in front of his chest and huffing in indignation. His silver hair billowed around him, dancing with the wind. His shimmering gold eyes showed the hurt and pain, that he didn’t dare express in front of the others.      The starts twinkled, laughing up in the velvet sky. Xehanort glanced up, before sighing and letting the anger melt away. More laughter could be heard, causing Xehanort to pout and lay his head on his arms, on top of the balcony’s rail.    “Giving me a second chance, hah! What a messed up second chance!” Xehanort murmured, feeling a pricking sensation behind his eyes. He felt so alone, with no idea why he was alive and there. He often found himself wishing he didn’t exist at all. He could feel something dark wrap around him, and the sensation of just letting go and leaving this dreadful existence was so intense.   “Hey!! Watch it!!”  “Hahaha!”  “Don’t you dare!!”  “Come back here!!”          The shouts broke him out of his trance, sending him into a shivering frenzy. His skin felt clammy and he was shaking profoundly. That feeling, that moment, it had been so surreal. It also felt very familiar, like déjà vu. A deep feared began to bubble inside of him, for that feeling was wrong. He knew. He could sense that what just happened could not happen again. He could sense that he had to keep away from the dark feelings. How could he, though, when he had no happiness and no light in his life?   He shook his head, may be rest would help out. Tomorrow he could tell the rest of them, but, they might do something to him. What if they shun him, or kick him out? May be they see him as a threat, Xehanort could feel the fear increase in him.       Laughing and shouting could be heard from off in the distance, but Xehanort didn’t pay much attention to it. If he thought too much on it, he would fall into it again, besides, they were friends, and he was a stranger, it is just normal to keep him away.       Xehanort took one last glance down at the garden, before turning on his heels and beginning his journey into his room. His violet, silky pants swayed along as he moved, for Agrabah clothing was very light. The whole Arabian clothing was something to get use to, Xehanort mused as he patted the puffy pants as he walked.   “Well, well, what you doing here, all by your lonesome self?” A strong and deep, yet silky voice spoke from behind him. Xehanort scoffed, crossing his arms in front of his chest in annoyance, before turning around. His gold eyes met aqua blue.         “If I remembered correctly, I was locked in my room, and it is obvious why I am alone. Of course, you aren’t known for your smarts are you, one winged wonder?” Xehanort replied coolly.     “Oh yeah, no one likes the lord of darkness. How sad. Besides, I wasn’t the one beaten by a 15 year old, twice.” Sephiroth sneered, arms crossed in front of his chest, standing on the balcony’s rail. “At least I wasn’t beaten by the same person, hmmm, four times? Which shows how smart you are if you don’t learn from the first time.” Xehanort spoke sweetly to him. “No wonder you lost, you suck at science. I get stronger, he will get stronger, and it’s a normal thing in life.” Sephiroth smirked.   “Really, I fought against three, you only fought one!” Xehanort smirked back. “At least I ain’t some weakling now; I can still kick someone’s ass.” Sephiroth replied irritated. “Sure, keep thinking that. Now, no matter how much I love to talk to you, I believe it is time for you to leave.” Xehanort snapped. “No, actually, I like it here. Besides, the company ain’t that bad. Any who, Cloud is after me, and since no one likes you or comes near you, I think here is a safe place for me.” Sephiroth grinned triumphantly, emphasizing that ‘ain’ts’ knowing it annoyed Xehanort.       Xehanort clenched his hands to his side, feeling the anger well up inside of him, before it registered what he said, throughout fully. ‘Did he just?’ Xehanort thought confused, before shaking his head and sighing. He felt his fighting spirit die, and tiredness creep back in. “You are such an ass, you know that?” Xehanort muttered, before slumping from his tense position. Sephiroth cocked his head to the side, noticing Xehanort had gotten tired too fast, way too fast than normal. His calculating eyes stared intently at Xehanort’s face, for something was wrong.      “I guess if you are going to be staying, might as well make yourself at home.” Xehanort waved towards his room, not wanting to fight, just wanting to lie down and rest. “I never thought the day would come, when you would proof me right, and show that you really are a weakling.” Sephiroth drawled out. “Shut up, why don’t you, before I really show you who the weakling is.” Xehanort growled out, glaring at Sephiroth. Sephiroth raised an eyebrow, jumping down to the balcony’s floor, taking a few steps toward Xehanort. Out of reflex, Xehanort took a few steps back, tensing up.       Sephiroth smirked, feeling his point being proven. Xehanort scoffed, taking a step forward, glaring at Sephiroth. He could feel himself getting nervous, as Sephiroth got closer, he wasn’t sure why though, was it out of fear, or something completely different. Xehanort pushed that thought away, not a good thought when Sephiroth was right in front of him, face to face. He never noticed how tall Sephiroth was and for the first time he felt self conscious of his height. Sephiroth glared down at him, challenging him.   Another roar of laughter was heard, a flash of pain appeared in his eyes before leaving just as fast, but Sephiroth being so close to Xehanort, saw it. Backing back, Sephiroth frowned; unsure of what was going on. Xehanort blinked, as Sephiroth backed away, towards the balcony. “Seph?” Xehanort blinked, confused, for Sephiroth never backed down like that. He always saw their quarreling, straight out. Xehanort also noticed he was the only one to call Sephiroth, Seph, no one else was allowed to. He never thought much about it, because he knew he knew he would get over himself and end up hurt.   “Hmm, wait here.” Sephiroth commanded, slinging his leg over the rail. Xehanort felt dread and fear feel him, as Sephiroth turned back to him before jumping out of the balcony. Xehanort’s eyes widen, as he rushed over to the edge of the balcony. “Sephiroth?!” Xehanort cried out. “I feel loved!” a voice mocked from way up high. Xehanort immediately looked up, meeting aqua blue eyes, yet again. Xehanort found a blush spread across his cheeks, for Sephiroth had seen the fear and concern for him. “You are such an ass. You know that?” Xehanort glared at him, shaking his head. “Yes, but you love me that way.” Sephiroth smirked. “That is because no one else will.” Xehanort rolled his eyes, before finally realizing what Sephiroth was on. “Is that a magic carpet?” Xehanort looked up at Sephiroth, eyes full of wonder. Sephiroth smirked, before lowering the carpet down so Xehanort could get a better look at it.   “It is so beautiful.” Xehanort couldn’t help saying it. It had beautiful intricate designs of purple and silver thread. He softly ran his hand on the carpet’s surface, smiling at how soft and velvety it felt.          Sephiroth just stayed quite, studying Xehanort. He noticed the small smiled that played on Xehanort’s mouth, but that Xehanort never allowed to really show. He wasn’t sure if what he felt was because Xehanort knew how it felt, to have been a villain and get second chance. One thing he envied Xehanort for, was that he didn’t remember anything. He didn’t hear the screams at night; he didn’t see their faces over and over. Every night he had nightmares. But Xehanort didn’t remember a thing. He didn’t know what he did and who he did it to. Xehanort had it good.             Xehanort sighed sadly, as he petted the carpet. He enjoyed Sephiroth’s company, because when they quarreled, it had a teasing and fun to it. Sephiroth was a villain, just like him, and he was going through the same things as him. Sephiroth did not know though, that he had it good. He could hang out with the rest, he could go out to he market, and he didn’t need anyone to watch over him wherever he went. He would disappear and it was okay. He couldn’t though; Xehanort had to stay and always be with someone. He was never allowed to hang with them and laugh and joke around. Sephiroth was, and he envied him for that.       He could feel the feelings he was trying to fight back resurface. Sephiroth sensed a change in Xehanort, something dark set upon his shoulders. He noticed the sadness and the lifeless look to Xehanort’s eyes. That was wrong though, Xehanort didn’t have lifeless eyes, and his eyes shimmered like gold. Something clicked in Sephiroth’s mind. Xehanort had become a darkness, and than from there a nobody, and Sephiroth had an idea why. Sephiroth found himself getting angry at the rest of them, so called good guys. Xehanort was falling back to darkness, but Sephiroth was not going to let him. He couldn’t loose Xehanort, because they were partners, they understood each other, better than the others could ever hope to.         “Xehanort.” Sephiroth barked out, placing his hand on Xehanort’s cheek. Xehanort snapped out of it, eyes wide with fear, body quivering. His golden eyes showed that spark of life again, but it was so dim. Xehanort stared fearfully up into Sephiroth’s eyes, for that was twice in a day, which had never happened before, not twice in a day.       Sephiroth frowned, eyes searching deep into Xehanort’s, seeing all the fear and confusion. “Let’s go for a ride.” Sephiroth spoke, softly, afraid to break the silence that had fallen upon them. Xehanort blinked, taking a step back and away from Sephiroth’s grasp. “But, I’m supposed to stay here.” “Oh, come on! I borrowed the carpet so we could go explore! Now you are telling me you don’t want to come?” Sephiroth glared at him. “I don’t want to get in trouble.” Xehanort explained. “Well, if you don’t agree to come with me, you will get in trouble. Because I will kick your ass, so let’s go, now!” Sephiroth snapped.   “When you say it so romantically as that, who can resist!” Xehanort retorted sarcastically, moving towards the carpet. He stopped right next to it, nervously. “Now what?” Sephiroth raised an eyebrow. “Well, I’m not too fond of heights.” Sephiroth burst out laughing, not a fake and evil laugh, but an actually laugh. Xehanort blinked, letting a small smile play on his lips. “You know, that is not funny.” “Yes it is, the lord of darkness is afraid of heights?” Sephiroth snickered. “Shut-up.” Xehanort huffed. “Don’t worry, trust me.” Sephiroth offered Xehanort his hand. Xehanort looked at Sephiroth for a few seconds, before placing his hand on Sephiroth’s. “Great! Let’s go!” Sephiroth helped Xehanort up. Xehanort gulped, immediately wrapping his arms around Sephiroth’s neck as they ascended.   “Don’t be such a weakling.” Sephiroth rolled his eyes, but wrapped his arms around Xehanort’s waist nonetheless. Xehanort pouted. “Not my fault I’m afraid of heights.” Sephiroth just snorted, squirming a bit, trying to find a comfortable way to sit. “Come on! You can’t be like that through the whole journey, you won’t see anything!” Sephiroth gently unwrapped Xehanort’s arms from his neck, placing them around his arm. “Here, hold on to me.” Xehanort hugged Sephiroth’s arm tightly. Sephiroth rolled his eyes, eyes shining with amusement. “Of we go!” Sephiroth shouted, as the sped out into the rest of the world.        “I can show you the world,”   Sephiroth whispered, pointing down to the ocean. “Shining, shimmering, splendid.”  Sephiroth grinned, as dolphins came out, jumping and dancing under the moonlight. Xehanort’s eyes widen in amazement, for everything was new to him.   “Tell me Xehanort, now when did you last let your heart decide?” Sephiroth looked down at Xehanort, a smile on his lips. Xehanort smiled back. “I can open your eyes, take you wonder by wonder.” Sephiroth pointed to the pyramids and the great coliseum as they passed by. Xehanort gasp in awe as they passed around the structures eyes sparkling with happiness.   “Over, sideways, an under! On a magic carpet ride!”  They passed through a cloud, grabbing some for them selves. Xehanort laughed as he played with the substance. Sephiroth laughed when Xehanort pouted for he had let the cloud go. “A whole new world! A new fantastic point of view!” Sephiroth pulled Xehanort to his chest, resting his head on Xehanort’s shoulder. “No one to tell us no or where to go!” Sephiroth sneered, remembering how the rest had locked up Xehanort. “Or say we’re only dreaming!” Sephiroth whispered, as they passed over a mosque.   “A whole new world!” Xehanort muttered in awe, as they flew over a waterfall.  “A dazzling place, I never knew!” Xehanort grinned, sitting up and opening his arms, letting the air pay with his hair and closing his eyes.   “But when I’m way up here,” Xehanort opened his eyes and looked back at Sephiroth. “Is crystal clear that now, I’m in a whole new world with you!” Xehanort smiled, a real smile, as his golden eyes met Sephiroth’s sparking sapphire blue.   “Now I’m in a whole new world with you!” Sephiroth smiled back, lacing his fingers with Xehanort’s.   “Unbelievable sights, indescribable feelings.” Xehanort flushed, as their hands laced together. “Soaring, tumbling, free wheeling!” Xehanort squeaked holding tightly to Sephiroth. Sephiroth laughed as they dropped down, before being caught by the carpet again.   “Through an endless diamond sky!” Xehanort spoke softly as they flew over a clear spot, under the moon, everything coated with a silver glow. “A whole new world!!!” Xehanort gasped closing his eyes as they shot towards land.   “Don’t you dare close your eyes.” Sephiroth muttered, wrapping an arm around Xehanort’s waist and taking Xehanort’s hands down with the other. “A hundred thousand things to see.” Xehanort smiled, looking down at his reflection on the lake.   “Hold your breath it gets better.” Sephiroth muttered in his ear. “I’m like a shooting star, I’ve come so far, I can’t go back to where I use to be!” Xehanort smiled looking up at Sephiroth, not wanting to go back to how it used to be at all.   “A whole new world!” Sephiroth smirked. “Every turn a surprise!” Xehanort blended his voice in with Sephiroth’s. “With new horizons to see.” Sephiroth looked forward. “Every moment red letter!” Xehanort smiled, tugging at his hand. “I’ll chase them any where!! There is time to spare!! Let me share this whole new world with you!!” Xehanort’s and Sephiroth’s voice blended together, harmoniously. Eyes twinkling as they stared at each other, feeling something new and special.   “A whole new world.” Sephiroth muttered, pulling Xehanort to his chest. “A whole new world.” Xehanort chorused, relaxing into Sephiroth. “That’s where we’ll be.” Sephiroth ran a hand through Xehanort’s hair, gently combing it. “That’s where we’ll be.” Xehanort chorused back, purring happily. “A thrilling chase.” Sephiroth smiled and looked down at Xehanort. “A wondrous place.” Xehanort raised his head and looked up at Sephiroth, smiling wholeheartedly for the first time.   “For you and me.” They muttered, as their faces inched closer, breath mingling. Xehanort closed his eyes. Their lips met in a gentle brush. A blush spread over both of their faces, but they didn’t pull back. Xehanort rested his head back down on Sephiroth’s chest, yawning. Sephiroth smiled, changing their direction back to the palace. A comfortable silence set in, all for Xehanort’s soft snores, for he had been very tired.   Sephiroth disentangled himself from Xehanort. He jumped down from the carpet, into the balcony. Sephiroth shook his head, for Xehanort was trying to find his warmth. Chuckling, Sephiroth picked him up, bridal style, and carried him over to his bed. He gently slipped him in and covered him up, knowing the nights got very cold. After a mild fight with himself, Sephiroth placed a gentle kiss on Xehanort’s lips. Xehanort’s face broke into a dreamy smile, snuggling deeper into the covers.   “For you and me.” Sephiroth caresses his face, before standing up and silently making his way to the carpet. With one last glance to Xehanort, he jumped onto it and flew back to his room.   “For you and me…..” Xehanort muttered back, eyes fluttering open, sparkling with happiness, before shutting close again. Night falling into silence, as everyone slept.     …………     Sooooo…how was that? I know it wasn’t that good, but I hope it passes with a C or high D!!! so, tell me what you guys think!!!
