Written in Saïx's point of view (POV) right before his last battle and after. I wanted to see if I could write something in first person.
This is...such a short...fic...xD

I assured him I'd be okay.
He nodded and walked off. I could almost sense him choking to hold back a sob.
Or…it couldn't have been a sob. We're Nobodies. He can't cry…because he can't feel, right?
Then…why did he seem so worried when I told him I'd gladly take on Sora for him?
I remember Number Two…that blasted freeshooter…he used to tease me that Xemnas could actually feel something for me. Xigbar and Luxord would always just prance around, chanting some lame nursery rhyme about the Superior and me sitting in a tree…
And what was that last part..?
I can't remember.
Oh well. Not like it matters.
Right now, I'm at the Addled Impasse. I'm just here, waiting to see if that darned key-wielder will even show up. I hope he does- then we can settle this. Once and for all. I'll slay that boy and bring him and his friends to the ground.
Then again…I don't want him to come.
Maybe if he doesn't come, I can run back to my Superior. I can run back and lay still in his arms, cherishing every moment in which I stood in his warm embrace.
I always enjoyed those hugs.
It sent a great sensation spinning through my body. I remember that feeling.
I doubt it was love…
But I knew it was something.
I turned my head to stare at the moonheart above me. Kingdom Hearts. The one thing that we had all been striving to complete.
Well…we still are. But it's no longer all of the Thirteenth Order who wants to complete it. It's just me…and Xemnas.
Xemnas.
I'll miss him. I truly will. Sometimes, I wonder if he'll miss me.
Maybe…just maybe…if I can finish this battle…I'll go back to him. I'll go back and run into those arms. Then I can tell him…
Wait. Are those footsteps?
I whirled around. There they were. Sora, Riku, Kairi…
And the duck…and the dog-like thing.
What was that? Looked like a dog…but I have never seen anything like it.
Who cares…? I get to kill it anyway.
"Only you could have made it this far in once piece…Roxas."
The boy and his friends seem to be taken aback by my small statement. It almost makes me smile. The smile really comes when they try to talk back.
"That's REALLY getting old!" Sora screams, stomping almost angrily. His lackeys seem to come and stand in front of him in a defensive stance.
"Yeah! His name is SORA!" The duck yells, his accent sounding more like quacks than anything else.
This is it. The moment my Superior and I have been waiting for.
I finish off the Keybearer now…and we can be whole…
Together…Just Xemnas and me…
"Hmph." I extend my claymore forward, opening it to reveal its deadly spikes. I flip it back behind me with a steady face. "Different name…same fate."
And then, the battle began.
But it had been over too quickly.
That final blow was what hurt the most.
I dropped my claymore and heard it whirr through the air, then click as it hit the ground.
I looked up. Then, I saw it.
Those gray bangs fluttering silently in the wind. Golden-orange eyes glaring down towards me, a cool and clear liquid visible in them.
It was Xemnas. And he was crying.
Crying…for me…?
"Kingdom Hearts..!"
I stumble towards the heart-shaped moon. My only hope of being whole again…and I failed it.
I failed you too, Xemnas.
"Where…is my heart…?"
I felt myself fade.
As the last of me disappeared, I could hear Xemnas's silky smooth voice calling out to me.
"You gave it to me, Saïx…
And I'll still have it for you when we meet again…"
Go angst. :3
Reviews are nice…:D
