A dark figure walked through the emotionless white halls of the World that Never Was, before stopping at a balcony, "I have taken the girl from Axel," the man spoke emotionlessly.
A dark skinned man with silver hair turned to the figure, his red eyes glinting against the large heart-shaped moon behind him, "Excellent work Saix. Have Demyx guard her cell. Even he can't screw this up."
As he spoke, a young girl sat in a cell, her knees pressed against her chest. She had bright red hair and a pale pink dress. She kept her head down, and glared at the floor. I let myself get captured... twice. What's wrong with me?
"Good morning Sunshine!" A voice said brightly, and Kairi stood up quickly, recognizing the sound of the portals the Organization used. A young man was in her cell. He was dressed in the same cloak as the others, but he had light brown hair with a mullet and bright blue eyes. Kairi curled her fists and took a fighting stance. "Ah come on, don't be like that," the one in front of her sighed. "The name's Demyx, and we'll be spending a lot of time together since I'm your new guard."
"Get away from me," Kairi growled, her fists up. Pluto growled in synchrony, and Demyx backed up quickly.
"No one told me I'd be guarding a dog too!" he declared, quickly dissipating before appearing on the other side of the bars. "I can handle a little girl, but come on!" he complained.
"Little girl?" Kairi dropped her stance and straightened indignantly, "I'll be 16 in 5 months!"
"Good for you, do ya want a cookie?" Demyx replied grumpily. "We're just using you to get the key-bearer, I don't care if you're five or fifty."
"And how old are you?" Kairi walked up to the bars and crossed her arms, "You look the same age as me."
Demyx sighed, "Somewhere around 17 I think..." Demyx looked up with a glazed expression as he tried to remember... "Okay, I think it was a week before I turned 17."
"Well you act like a little kid!" Pluto looked at Kairi in confusion, was this man a threat or not? Kairi scowled at Demyx, "Don't act like a big man just because you can bully us around."
Whoa, whoa, whoa." Demyx put his hands up in defense, "I'm just making sure you don't run off. I'm not going to attack you or anything." Demyx stopped and scratched his head, "Or was I supposed to attack you and make him angry?" Demyx sighed in irritation, "If I'm supposed to attack you, they sure picked the wrong guy."
Kairi didn't let her guard down as she turned on her heel and sat down on the other side of the cell, "Just try to attack us and see what happens." Pluto gave a loud "Woof!" before walking next to Kairi and sitting down.
Demyx stared for a second at Kairi, "I'll be sure to remember that." He vanished into thin air, leaving Kairi feeling lonelier than before.
...
Kairi woke up drowsily to the sound at Demyx appearing outside her cell. Kairi sat up slowly and rubbed the sleep out of her eyes and tried to focus on the young man. "Look, I need to go somewhere today. You're coming too." Kairi's eyes widened, and she would have said something if she was awake to come up with an intelligent answer besides 'What?' "The dog isn't coming," Demyx added quickly, shooting a glance at Pluto.
"How do I know this isn't a trap?" Kairi narrowed her eyes at Demyx, who sighed in return.
"We already captured you, what else could we want?" Kairi didn't have an answer for that one, so Demyx continued, "Look: before you say anything, this world isn't connected to the others in a convenient way, so your hero isn't going to save you either."
"Why do we need to go then?" Kairi stood up and stretched, "Is there something there?"
Demyx seemed embarrassed for a moment, and Kairi blinked. This guy didn't seem as bad as the rest of them, despite what their first meeting would suggest. "There's a store there... it's not important but I want to go." Demyx scratched the back of his head and coughed, "So, you coming or what?"
Kairi was tempted to say yes, but then she remembered how Axel tried to trick her. She wasn't going to fall for the same trick twice. Then the idea struck Kairi: maybe she could run away while they were... wherever they were going. "Sure thing," Kairi smiled and closed her eyes, ignoring Pluto's whine and not noticing Demyx's embarrassed expression return. Kairi walked over to the cell door and waited for Demyx to take them wherever they were going. Demyx stuck his hand through the bars and Kairi took it, noticing how it seemed to cover her hand entirely and warm it up. Kairi could feel the darkness surround her, but she didn't have any fear as long as she held onto Demyx's hand. She could hear Pluto give one final worried bark before she disappeared with Demyx.
Kairi blinked and looked around the area. It was a very urban area, rougher than anywhere she had ever been. The buildings were all decrepit and leaning over in depression, and all the people seemed to be tough men. Kairi suspected that the women here were hardly considered women... in both extremes of the expression. "We're here," Demyx spoke clearly, keeping an eye on all the people nearby and not letting go of Kairi's hand. The moment she noticed this, Kairi pulled it out of Demyx's grasp and held it up to her chest for protection. Demyx didn't seem to notice it and looked at all of the building intently, "If you don't want to suffer a face worse than death, I advise you stay close," he murmured, giving Kairi a fright. What kind of man did she agree to go with?
AN: W00t, my first Kaimyx story! This is my favorite crack couple, favorite couple with Kairi, and only real couple with Demyx. I realize that this chapter is short, but you are just going to have to live with it since the next one will be longer. Please don't flame me or demand to know why I like Kaimyx, cause I don't really need a reason for a crack couple xD
