"Still looking for me, I see."
Xemnas paused in the act of turning a page of Saïx's report, his eyes closing at the sudden rush of longing that slammed into his system. He heard a black chuckle from the one who had spoken, could feel the disturbances the creature's movements made in the air. Why? Why did he have to come here, to taunt him, to stand before him and remind him of everything he strove for, everything he wished for.
He knew damned well why. After all, they had once been one and the same.
"Ansem, Seeker of Darkness." Xemnas intoned, finally finishing his aborted turn of a page. "What brings you to this little corner of Nothing?"
A snort, full of all of the amusement and disgust and cruelty Xemnas could no longer feel properly. "I came to check up on your pathetic 'Kingdom Hearts', my Other." The Heartless replied, strolling around the Nobody's desk to stand before one of the great windows. "And to let you know that I shall open the door long before you do."
"The Princesses."
A grin was turned on him, maliciously bright. "I have 'friends' who yet linger in the light." Ansem said. "Who are bringing them to me, one by one. You should know, too, that the Keyblade is out and about again."
"I heard." Xemnas said flatly. "A mere boy, still years from becoming a man."
"Oh, but what a strong heart he has." Ansem sighed, almost fondly. "I'll enjoy crushing it. Maybe his Nobody would join your little club."
"How kind of you, sending me my own Keybearer." Xemnas replied, eyes still on the report, even if he was no longer reading it. "It would speed things up."
"Kingdom Hearts will be mine, long before you get there, Nobody."
Xemnas looked up, at the creature across the room, so alike and so different from himself. "You'll be pulled in, Heartless." He said softly. "You'll be forced to join back with the collective heart, trapped by your own pride. And I will walk in and take you back with so little effort."
The Heartless was suddenly in front of him, hands splayed on the desktop and their noses a mere inch from each other. "The first thing I do," He answered, in the same tone Xemnas had used. "When it is mine, will be to destroy you and all of your pathetic kind."
Xemnas grinned, cold and emotionless. "You cannot destroy that which does not exist."
