Author's Note: If I had actually gotten around to writing this a month or two ago when the idea first entered my head, I'd be able to warn you just were this odd. . .thing, came from. As it is I can't remember. I own the original character, you'll know her when you see her.
Warnings: Hm, it's just a prologue and not much happens other than setting the scene. One original character and a little bit of swearing, nothing really bad.
Disclaimer: glances around the basement she lives in Uh-huh, no.

Prologue: You did what?

Demyx was sitting cross-legged on the couch, fiddling with his sitar, when he heard keys rattling outside the apartment door. He looked up when the door opened. Stumbling through the door with a laptop case strapped across one shoulder, an armful of papers, and house keys dangling from between her teeth was his roommate and friend, Amane. (1)

Grinning he placed the sitar next to him and hopped off their poor, beaten up, excuse of a couch. "Hey."

"Help, please?" She somehow managed around the keys.

Laughing he took the papers from her, allowing her to take the keys out of her mouth and put the laptop down. "So how'd it go?" he asked the brunette.

"My current editor," began Amane, taking the papers back from him. "Is an anal retentive little bitch, who needs to be strangled at the nearest possible opportunity."

"So, you still don't like her?"

Blue-green eyes glared at him. "No."

Demyx laughed nervously. "Are you sure it's Kairi you don't like and not the job?"

The frustrated author thumped the large stack of papers onto the table in the space they laughingly referred to as their kitchenette. "Demy," she began slowly. "It's been three months since I got Kairi as my editor. I've had this job for over a year. I love writing, I really do, and while I may not be able to write what I want to, yet, I still love it. Since I got Kairi as my editor my blood pressure has gone up, my herbal tea consumption has gone up, my stress level has gone up, and if I have to look at one more picture of her precious Bubbles, I just may kill her."

"Bubbles?" The ocean-eyed blond asked, not at all sure that he actually wanted to know.

"Bubbles, is a toy poodle, that has been dyed cotton-candy pink."

". . .That's just not right."

"Bubbles, also happens to be male."

"Please don't share potentially traumatic images."

Amane shrugged and poured herself a glass of water. "You are free this Saturday, right?"

"It's not like I have anything else to do."

"Oh good, I set up a date for you."

"YOU WHAT?!"

(1) Amane is a Japanese name, but so are Kairi, Sora, Riku, and a few others like Naminé. No pointing and yelling Mary-sue.

I have a list of people for Demyx to date already, of these three (part of a bigger list), which should he go out with on his first blind date? Please don't recommend someone not on this list.
