Hm. Yes I do like XigDem. ^^ (I like Zemyx more...but still I love just about every pairing with Demyx. )

AU....They have couches...

Anyway Enjoy~

"Say...Demyx?"

"Yes?" Demyx skipped over to Roxas who was leaning on the sofa staring across the room at Xigbar. Demyx smiled and plopped down on to the couch next to his friend. "Something wrong with Xig-kun Roxas?"

"I was just wondering," Roxas moved his eyes away from the older Organization member to Demxy, "How did he get that scar?"

"Oh that?" Demxy folded his arms and placed them behind his head. "That's one-hundred percent my fault."

"What?" Roxas stared at Demyx in pure disbelief.

"Would you like to know how?"

"...Sure..."

"Well it happened right after I joined the Organization-" Demxy shifted into a more comfortable story telling position.

----

"Watch it Kid. I don't wanna have to baby you this whole mission." Xigbar sighed and followed his younger partner through the gates to the underworld.

"Yea yea! I know we're here to scope out the area and find more heartless!" Demyx crept along and looked around the corner.

"This isn't a spy mission kid."

"Yea I-GAH."

In the second Demyx had taken to look back at Xigbar was the same second a heartless appeared. It was a large and powerful dragon heartless, one that some one as inexperienced as Demyx couldn't handle. He closed his eyes and braced himself as the heartless took a swing.

It all happened so fast.

Demyx felt something warm drip onto his face. Curious, Demyx opened his eyes. Xigbar was holding him close to his body with one arm and with the other he was lowering his weapon. He looked over and saw that the heartless was gone. He felt the warm liquid again.

Xigbar was bleeding.

"Gah. Xigbar!" Demyx scrambled up and looked at his partner, "Are you alright?"

"No." Xigbar muttered, "Damn it kid what did I tell you!?"

Demxy looked down and clenched his hands together. He remained that was as Xigbar stopped the bleeding with his jacket muttering something about getting a new one. When he was done he stood up and walked over to Demyx.

"Come on kid we have a mission to finish. Watch yourself this time."

"I'll get better!" Demyx suddenly shouted.

"What?"

"I'll become better at fighting so that next time we have a mission together I'll protect you Xigbar!"

"..." Xigbar let out a small laugh, "Sure Demyx sure."

"I will!"

---

"So...were you ever able to do that?" Roxas asked half curious.

"Nope. I'm still not good enough to save him." Demyx closed his eyes for a moment smiling to himself.

"Hey Demyx you coming on this mission too?" Xigbar suddenly called from across the room.

Demyx jumped up off the couch.

"Yep! Bye Roxas!" Demyx turned and followed Xigbar out of the room laughing and smiling the whole time.

---

"So kid think your going to be able to protect me this time?" Xigbar asked.

The two had been walking in silence down the dark corridors of the castle. Demyx did reply right away. He stopped walking and folded his arms over his chest.

"Hmm..." He looked up at Xigbar and smiled, "Nope!"

"Geeze kid." Xigbar leaned over and ruffled his young partner's hair.

"Guess your stuck with me until I can!" Demyx told him reaching up and tracing Xigbar's scar.

"Wouldn't have it any other way Demxy."

Hmm that was fluffier than I expected.... darn it my Older sister is rubbing off on me!

Can Nobodies bleed? *shrug* I hope Xigbar wasn't too OOC.

Anyway hope you liked it!!
