Okay, so this is an experiment... we'll see how it goes...
Disclaimer: I don't own it... I know because if I did, I would not be baby-sitting for some money. I would have enough already...
Summary: All Demyx wanted was for Zexion to notice him. He questions his ability to feel while he assists his fellow Nobody on his search.
Note: For the sake of this story, all the members are ALIVE! Okay? Alive.
Also, this starts out from the first visit to the Underworld.
First-person, Demyx's POV.
"Did you get it?" I looked up to see Zexion coming my way. The portal that I came through quickly vanished and I hung my head a bit.
"No, sorry, the kid... but, I did read the thing you gave me to him."
Zexion scoffed at me. "Yeah, yeah, whatever. Just, don't screw up next time. The mission wasn't that important, anyway, Xaldin can get it after he gets the Beast's."
I nodded my head and we walked down the hall together in silence. I sighed, breaking the silence. "So, he's not gonna kill me, right?"
"Why would he? I'm sure he knows that you couldn't do it. As you said, 'menial work isn't really your thing.'"
Why does he hate me? I really have no idea. Ever since my first day, he's been bitter towards me.
"Well, isn't this nice?" My head jerked up at the sound of another voice. Zexion's did the same and we were both looking at a firey red head.
"Axel," Zexion stared.
"What, no hello, Demyx?" He sauntered over to me.
"Umm..." Was all I got out.
"Axel, what are you doing here?" Zexion asked from beside me. Axel draped an arm lazily over Zexion's shoulders. A small wave of jelousy passed over me, but I quickly shrugged it off.
"Just here to see my favorite Nobodies. Well, second and third favorite, at least." He answered cockily.
"I'll ask again, once, before I call the Superior." Zexion told him flatly. Zexion was not one for fun and games, he liked top get to the point quickly.
"I've got a job, a favor, if you will, to ask of you two." Axel smirked and pulled his arm back, crossing said arm with his other.
I raised an eyebrow at him. "Whadya mean?" I asked him. His smirk grew into a small grin.
"I need you to help me with something, that's what I mean." I scowled at him. I hate this. People, or Nobodies I should say, always treat me like I'm an idiot, esspecially when I ask a question like that.
"Axel, fuck off, what do you want?" Zexion defended me. He, at least, understood what I meant.
"I want you to 'kidnap' someone...special...for me. It would help greatly to my little... shall I say... conquest?" Axel replied.
"Who?" I asked.
"A girl named Kairi. Apparently, she happens to be a friend of Sora's." Axel rocked a back on his heels, waiting for us to say 'yes.' Zexion and I stayed quiet, me glancing over to him. I couldn't tell what his expression was, I could only see the hair that covered his right eye, and his left I couldn't see very well. His lips were straight, so I guessed he was thinking of what to say.
"How is she gonna help?" I spoke up.
"She is going to tell me what she knows. I understand that she has spoken with Roxas once before..." Axel said.
"I don't care. We are not going to help you get yourself in even more conflict." Zexion began to walk by him, but Axel quickly grabbed his arm.
"C'mon, number six, I know you want Roxas back, too." Zexion looked at the red head, I could see his eyebrow raised a bit.
"Why would I want that?"
"Because, he was the one who helped you figure out that-"
"Shut up, you!" Zexion cut him off. I had no idea what they were talking about, but I could feel the tension and decided not to question it.
"And," Axel continued. "He's the only one that can keep me from telling."
The pyro grinned at him. Zexion pulled his arm free and glared at Axel. "Fine, but it's your own ass on the line."
"Good, I'll tell you the details later. I have to go for now, umm... Tommorrow, dawn, Twilight Town, the tower. Got it memorized?" With the last words quickly said, he vanished into a portal.
"Um, Zexion?"
"Demyx, don't worry about it. If you don't want to come, no one is forcing you." Zexion told me. We cotinued walking to our rooms.
"I want to come. I'm not just going to let you go all alone, Axel might try to kill you... again." He nodded and went into the room labled "VI." I went to my own room and fell asleep quickly.

I grunted in protest as someone shook my shoulder. Nooo...
"Mr. Ducky gotta save Ze-"
"Demyx!" A fierce voice whispered. I opened my eyes quickly. Zexion was standing there, in his cloak, but his hair was still messy. And wet...? Zexion...in my room...wet... I'm dreaming. I'm dreming and I want to pull him into bed with me right now and snuggle up against him.
"Wha-? Ze-Zexion?" I lifted my head up from the pillow and blinked a few times. "What time-" My eyes widened when I saw the digital alarm clock that sat on the table beside my bed. "Holy- Zexion, it's four in the morning!"
"I know, genius." He said sarcastically. "Are you coming, to meet Axel?"
Oh, right. That's today isn't it?
I nodded and sat up, flinging the covers off me. I stood and stretched. It was then that the cold air hit me. I, with only my blue boxers and a white tank top on, gasped a bit. I made my way to the closet and pulled out the black pants and black boots that we all had about twenty copies of.
"Zexion, would you look in that drawer there, the second one, and throw me a shirt?" I said, pointing to a dresser that I had provided for myself. Xemnas didn't give us a specific shirt to wear, as long as it didn't ruin our 'image' as he would say. Most of the members took to wearing simple black, whileI liked to add more color.
"Umm... which one?" Zexion asked, looking through the assortment of the shirts.
"I don't care." He shrugged and threw me a plain dark blue T-shirt. I caught it and grabbed for my black cloak. "Thanks."

After I had taken a quick shower, we went to Twilight Town. It was the first time I had been, but Zexion has been here once. That was because Xemnas sent him to go look for Axel. Zexion found him, but said that he didn't see him anywhere. "So, where to now?" I asked as we walked thriugh, avoiding a train-like thing that moved by slowly.
"Well, it seems we are already late, since you had to take forty-five minutes in the shower, then another thirty fixing your hair. so, I'm not sure Axel's going to still be waiting at the tower." Zexion said, a little loud.
"So-rry! At least I took the time to blow-dry my hair. Unlike someone!" I said jokingly.
"Hey, it's not my fault that my hair is stubborn and poofy when I don't let it air dry!"
"What the hell?" I heard a voice say from behind us. I bolted around to come face to face to three people, one girl and two boys. The one who spoke had a beanie covering blonde hair. The other boy had dark tanned skin and dark brown hair to go with it. And the girl scared me a bit, with short silver hair and peircing red eyes. "Who're you and why are you in our place!?"
"Right, and youd would be...?" I asked them.
"Seifer, y'know!?" The dark haired male said.
Zexion simply turned back around and began to walk again. I followed him, still hearing the people calling after us. "Zexion, what if they knew something about Roxas, though? This is where Ansem kept him, right?"
"Yes, but if Roxas is back with Sora, then I'm not sure they'll remember anyways."
A few minutes of more walking and we ended up at a train station. Amazingly, we saw a certain red headed pyro there, most likely waiting for us. "So, you guys did decide to come?"
"Can't believe you actually waited." Zexion said. "So, what's going to happen?"
So, please, tell me what me what you think...
