Disclaimer: I Don't own Kingdom Hearts. Capiche?

Chapter 1 The Plot Thickens…

Vexen sighed as he and Marluxia wandered through Agrabah. He hated being here with a passion, even more so with Pinky than anyone else. But Kingdom Hearts knew why Xemnas sent them here EVERY time he craved the cuisine that was catered here… Currently Marluxia was in a deep conversation with a florist…

"It is a rather rare flower… but I must warn you not to touch it because it is only to be touched by the right kind of man… It's… potency is rather quite-"

For the love of god just stop talking and lets get out of this miserable place. Vexen groaned inwardly as he shifted the bags he was carrying to his other hand.

"Oh wow you must have the gift…" The florist said with wide eyes as Marluxia flirted with her as he held the flower.

"I'll offer you a trade… This Efemenite blossom for these."

"Will you just hurry up?!" Vexen growled wiping the sweat from his brow.

"In a second you old crone. Go on a head I'll be there in a minute."

xXx

Zexion sighed as he finished going over the reports he had been given by Saix. He found it rather irrelevant why he always got stuck with going over the reports to make a smaller summary for the higher ups…

"You look bored." Demyx commented as he looked up from the board game he and Ixivio were currently playing.

"I am… You would think that Xemnas and Saix would just read the damned things. But no I get stuck summarizing them all the time…"

"Yay! Sorry!"

"Hey! You didn't cheat while I wasn't looking did you?"

Ixivio giggled before running off to Lexeaus' room.

"I swear… He must be taking lessons from Luxord…"

Zexion lowered his glasses on his nose to peer over them at the report in his hands. He hated the damned things with a passion, but his new contacts didn't fit into Xemnas's oh so precious budget for the month so he was stuck with his old lenses. "You know Demyx he is a clone… It is quite possible that Vexen took DNA from the various samples of ours that he keeps in his lab to create the boy."

"… That is almost creepy…"

"Indeed it is. However we can only hope that he chose some of the more… benign members compared to… Larxene and Saix…" Zexion sighed before taking off his glasses.

"Y'know you don't look half bad with your glasses." Demyx attempted to switch the topic.

"Nine… Don't."

"I don't see how you can stand going around the castle blinder than a bat just because you don't want people to tease you about your glasses."

"Demyx please can't you see I'm very busy here?"

"Geez You don't have to get so snippy with me I'm sorry." Demyx said as he decided to exit the room. He went across the hall to where Saix and Axel were currently rebuilding the remains of his room… Or they should have been if they weren't growling at each other.

Demyx sighed and moved along, making his way downstairs and to the kitchen where Vexen and Marluxia were currently arguing… Over a flower.

"Just one sample please?"

"Do you realize how rare this thing is. The myths about this thing are insane. Why the hell would I let you take off with the only blossom that I may ever get my hands on? Hell Vexen, I will be insanely lucky if I can get this thing to root. And the blossoms only bloom once every TEN years."

"You will get the thing back after I make sure you and going to kill everyone here by bringing it here."

"Oh come on Vexen. It's not like it's the Cassinian Blossom!"

"Enough." Vexen said as he held out his hands.

"Oh no. I'm not letting your icy hands of death touch this thing. As mad as you are you'll freeze the poor thing you old prick."

"I am not that old damn it!"

"Why don't I offer to take this thing down to the laboratory. And bring it back to you unharmed and in one piece after he checks it out?" Demyx offered regretting as both of their scathing glares fell upon him.

"I'm fine with that if Methuselah is." Marluxia begrudgingly handed over the flower.

"Asshole." Vexen glared and motioned for Demyx to follow him.

"Arrogant asshole." Vexen growled as he checked out the data on his computer screen.

"Sadly I'd have to agree with that."

"What did I say about talking Nine?" Vexen glared at him.

"Not to. But I don't see why…"

Vexen sighed as the data came up inconclusive. He eyed the interestingly delicate blue flower before tossing it at Demyx. "Take it back to the pansy and don't bug me for the rest of the month."

Another scathing glare from Marluxia later and Demyx was sitting in the Hall of Empty Melodies playing his sitar. About an eternity later a quiet comment broke him for his musician's trance. "Why so sad today Demyx?"

"N-Namine? What are you doing here?"

"I got tired of being cooped up in my room. You're normally so cheerful… but you music was sad today… I figured I'd see if you needed to talk."

"Thanks?" Demyx blushed slightly.

"So what's eating you?"

"Everyone's so pissy. You can't say one word to them with out getting glared at."

"Well I'm sure that last weeks escapades could be blamed. After all look how much your workloads have doubled. Xemnas is still thoroughly pissed about being lied to and the ruckus that the lot of you stirred up."

"I guess you're right." Demyx said as he shifted his position.

"Of course I am. I have to be in the uptake to be able to ignore all of the noise the rest of you make or I'd turn out to be a bitch like Larxene." Namine smiled. "Do me a favor and don't let it get to you okay? Thing will hopefully fall back into their normal rapport by next week."

Demyx mulled it over as she patted him on the shoulder and exited the Hall.

"You did well in there. A first class performance." Xigbar said as she came out. "I think he actually believed you… And If he does he will be able to convince the others…"

"It won't work." Namine gave him a side glance.

He pinned her against the wall. "You will do as we tell you to witch." Xigbar smirked as he opened a portal and pushed her through. Namine fell backward to land in the middle of Xemnas's office. Xigbar chuckled as he followed her through.

"And if you don't well… Let's just say it doesn't end so happily for you." Xemnas said as he came to stand over her.

And that Is the beginning of a new Story! Yays! Though I have to say I am kind sad to see the First story, An Innocent Experiment end... But most unfourtunately this part of the storyline has a much different vibe from it's predecessor...
