Hello everyone! So, here I am, with a new story! This time, it has nothing to do with Shaman King - Just Kingdom Hearts and Vocaloid.

I don't actually ship Demyx x Rin (I like Rin x Len when they're not twins), but I think this is a pretty cute story. But this chapter is just the prolog!

And... sorry for the bad quality of the cover image, but I don't have a scanner with me now... I'll get a better view of it in two months, kay?

"My sanctuary~ My sanctuary, yeah~" Demyx sang out.

"Oh, shut up!" Xigbar cried, scowling, "You can't sing for your life!"

Demyx gasped. "I'm appalled! How can you say something like that?"

The 16-year-olds face was flushed. His hair was standing up everywhere and falling down on his face. His sitar rested on his lap, still in playing position. The boy was dressed in a long, black coat just like everyone else in the room. You would have thought that they boy was raging with anger, from the look on his face.

"Come on, Demyx. Cut out the act." Xigbar said, strangely calm.

The older man had his long black and grey hair pulled back into a ponytail that trailed all the way down his back. He had an eye patch on his right eye and another scar on his left cheek, although he had a constant grin plastered onto his face. Like Demyx, the man wore the same black cloak that traveled down to his black boots. The sleeves covered up everything, except for the black gloves on their hands. The cloak had a black hood as well, which would cover at least half of the wearer's face, if they had the hood on. It was the same cloak as everyone in the organization, Organization XIII.

"What act?" Demyx questioned. Axel laughed.

But it was an empty laugh, for he didn't have a heart. Neither did any other organization member (strangely, there were 14 members instead of 13). All of their emotions – happiness, anger, sadness and worry – were "acts". They remember emotions from their past lives, when they had hearts. Except for Roxas and Xion, of course. Those two had no memories of their past lives – or even a past life.

"Why aren't you on your missions?" Saïx suddenly said. Roxas, Xion and Demyx froze, while Axel and Xigbar just frowned. Saïx must have "snuck up" on them from behind just a moment ago.

"Well… um… I just… uh…" Demyx stuttered. He peeked up at the blue-haired Nobody meekly.

"Get to work. All of you." Saïx said coldly.

"Y-yes!" Xion and Roxas responded at the same time. They opened up a dark corridor, and in a blink of an eye, they were gone.

"Well," Xigbar decided, stretching, "better get to work…" He walked up to Saïx, received his mission, and not unlike Roxas and Xion, he was gone momentarily. Axel continued in after him, with his own mission. Demyx stared longingly after Axel.* He watched his red hair disappear through the dark corridor, and sighed. Now that only he, Demyx and Saïx, were left, Demyx had no choice but to accept his mission.

He reluctantly walked up to the blue-haired Nobody, without his sitar. He had already put it "away".

"So… what's my mission today?" He said slowly. Saïx glared at him coldly, causing Demyx to cringe.

"Today, you are going on another re-con, an investigation," Saïx said coolly, "to a new world: Shalit Paradise."

Demyx tried to hide his grin by putting on his long hood. Another re-con! Great! I don't have to do any work! Demyx thought happily as he opened up the dark corridor.

"Oh, and Demyx…" Saïx added, "make sure you're not seen by anyone."

And with those words, Demyx was gone.
