What he didn't know was that a rumor can sometimes be true and can open people's eyes to things they didn't want to see. Zexion will found out how such a small thing can change his life forever.

Zexion gasped and painfully took in another shaky breath. The pain in his abdomen was almost too great to bear as every small movement in his arm brought another jolt of pain.

Tears threatened to flow out from the corners of his eyes and the feeling of the weapon lodged in his abdomen was making his body numb and his vision fuzzy.

"Demyx," He managed to croak out. The injured steel-blue haired teen narrowed his eyes and looked at the figure hovering over him with a shocked expression on his face.

"Demyx, you idiot, you got to get away." It was amazing that he still managed to insult Demyx at a time like this.He let out a silent breath and closed his eyes.

Experiencing trauma had never been Demyx's strongest point, he knew. He looked scared and he could tell that he didn't know what to do, what he should do. But even if this was too much for him, Demyx knew he had to leave Zexion behind.

But instead of running as Zexion commanded, Demyx knelt by the teen's side shaking his head in silent refusal. Scowling at his disobedience, Zexion found the strength to push him away and tumble to the ground. Demyx tossed him a hurt look.

"Listen to me, we-" Zexion took in another shaky breath, "both can't get caught." Zexion exhaled in slowly and painfully popped onto his elbows, "It's important you make it back,"

"But-"

"No. LEAVE NOW!" He interrupted, yelling, hoping Demyx would listen. Demyx bit his lip and winced at the venom in Zexion's voice.

"I can't!" He squeaked. "I'm sorry!"

Demyx's eyes fell down to the ground, his shoulders slumping. Zexion growled. If Demyx was not to be caught he would have to leave now to escape. There wasn't much time left to be arguing like this.

The footsteps and shouts of their posers could be heard from where he lay on the ground. Zexion could see Demyx also heard them, for his blue eyes widened in panic. But still he failed to move.

"DEMYX!"

That seemed to snap him out of his daze. Demyx rushed to his side once again, this time, with surprising strength, lifted Zexion to his feet. He hissed and cursed as white hot pain shot though his body as he was lifted. Demyx lifted Zexion's arm carefully over his shoulder hoping that he wasn't causing him too much pain.

"Demyx, you stubborn asshole, leave me and run," Zexion growled, getting frustrated with him. He struggled best as his condition would allow against Demyx's strong hold. But it was no good, he was only wearing himself out faster.

Why won't he listen!?

"Why don't you stop being such a HARDASS and let me save you?! You always have that pole stuck up your ass! Somebody should really check that out for you! " Demyx snapped back.

Zexion blinked.

Well, that was unexpected and nice to knew he still has a sense of humor at a time like this.

Finally taking a good look at the blonde's face, the determination and desperation to save him burned within his eyes, and he knew just by seeing, that he could not stop Demyx, no matter how loud he shouted or argued.

But… with the blood flawing freely from his wound, he knew that it will leave a trail to follow. He frowned slightly. Even with this in mind, Zexion decided if they were caught it wouldn't be so bad because... Demyx would be with him. He shook his head to clear his thoughts and sighed.

He decided it was time to maybe let Demyx lead the way, besides he was getting tired. So when Demyx's eyes practically challenged him to protest, he want lamp and stopped struggling against him. When Demyx saw him give up, his face slipped into a wide grin.

He simply grinned and said, "So, did you finally get that pole out?"

"No." Demyx laughed at his bad humor.

"Hey Zexion?"

"Yeah?"

"Don't worry I'll get it out someday," He said. "And sorry…I yelled at you."

Zexion smirked a bit, "Not likely and don't worry about it."

They decided that they wasted enough time and together they began to walk away from the soldiers that were getting closer and into the shadows of Disney Castle.
