Lightning Follows Rain
Warnings: No swearing.
Summary: Oneshot! Number IX and XII enjoy stalking each other, following the other wherever they go. But they go too far… Demyx/Larxene
Notes: This is my very first fic! I don't accept flames, they're discouraging sometimes. Review nicely, okay?

He would follow wherever she went.
She would follow wherever he went.
The only female of the Organization and their musician have been seeing each other. Ever since they did, they've been inseparable.
Literally.
When night fell, Demyx would play soft melodies with his sitar until Larxene fell asleep, heading back to his own room afterwards.
If any member complained about Demyx' music, Larxene would give them a cold glare.
When anyone assaulted Demyx, Larxene would always be there to defend him.
Lightning followed Rain.
Number IX allowed himself to come with her in Castle Oblivion, even though their Superior forbad it.
Whenever XII didn't hang around with Axel, they would stay in the castle library, Demyx watching her read her books.
Demyx was a nice, hyperactive pacifist. Larxene was a tart, sarcastic sadist.
They were opposites, they say opposites attract.
But…
Ever since Sora's malice came back to Larxene in full circle, Demyx hasn't been what he seemed.
Demyx was now a lonely, depressed pacifist.
He couldn't forget what happened in Castle Oblivion after he and Axel returned to the World that Never Was. But he was a talented actor so every time Xemnas would send him on a mission; IX had to pretend to be happy.
After seeing the Keyblade Master's power in their first encounter in the Underworld, he knew that he'd be seeing him again…
During their second encounter, their conversation made him wonder…
"Hey you guys are looking lively."
"Scram!"
"Didn't we catch you messing around in the Underworld? How'd a wimp like you get into Organization XIII? I bet you can't even fight."
"Yeah, but we can!"
"You shouldn't judge anyone by appearance. Oh I told them they were sending the wrong guy…"
"Who is this kook?"
"Remember, the Organization's made up of Nobodies!"
"Right! No hearts."
They didn't have hearts. Therefore could not feel 'love' or any emotion in fact.
But what did the musician think about the sadist? Was all his affection towards her all pretend?
Demyx denied it. He knew that they had feelings, or perhaps the memory of how to feel.
"Oh we do too have hearts. Don't be mad."
"You can't trick us!"
Donald was probably right, they didn't have hearts. But then again they probably did.
Nobodies don't have hearts… but maybe they can feel emotions.
The never ending will to have Kingdom Hearts.
The wish to have their happy ending.
And his determination to be with his beloved sadist.
"Silence traitor."
After that, the fight began. Demyx fought with all he had, but Sora outmatched him. IX wasn't much of a fighter, therefore was the weakest fighter.
Sora landed the last blow and the battle ended. Demyx panted heavily as he dropped to the ground.
He didn't know his time was up, he wasn't ready for it.
But when his sitar disappeared, he realized it.
The former musician screamed in agony as he faded away in particles of water. He tried to look sad, but deep down he knew.
"I'll be with you soon… Larxene…"
Did Demyx lose purposely? He had an undying wish to be with XII, and to have his hollow existence be taken away from that world was the only way.
He was slaughtered on purpose. He didn't fight back hard enough on purpose.
Rain followed Lightning.
