Well, I'm back with this chapter! The song I used in this is "To the Reticent You", by mothy (AKA AkunoP), sung by Rin.

~"This means that someone is singing something"~

I don't own Kingdom Hearts nor Vocaloid. It I did, I'd be the happiest person alive.


"Well, let's get this over with. The sooner I finish this, the sooner I can RTC and go back to playing my sitar." Demyx sighed.

He had appeared in a sunny, bright place. He was standing in what appeared to be a garden, filled with hedges and flowers. In the center was a large, white marble fountain. Leading away from the fountain was a path to a large cottage and many other houses. You could even call it a town. Going the opposite way, the path led to an overgrown, houseless meadow, filled with colorful flowers.

As Demyx has had many recon missions already, he knew how to do this exceptionally well. He started out by going into the meadow. The young boy walked around, looking half-heartedly (if he would have had a heart, of course), for anything worth mentioning to Saïx. But other than discovering a new flower, knocking down a bee's nest and falling asleep in the tall grass, nothing important had happened. But of course, he wouldn't mention those things to the "oh-so-great" Saïx.

"Craaaaap," Demyx muttered, "I fell asleep and wasted so much time! ….It was a nice nap, though…"

The young boy yawned and got up. He decided to skip going into the town in order to make up for the time he spent asleep (and he had an excuse planned out in his head as well.) Demyx quickly checked the garden/fountain are, but didn't find anything important. Just as he was about to summon a dark corridor and RTC, he heard something. It was a sweet, girl's voice, coming closer and closer to him. Demyx ducked down behind a bush and didn't move. The voice mesmerized him; it was so soft and beautiful. But then it stopped coming closer, and simply stayed in the same spot. Crouching next to a rose bush, Demyx cautiously peeked out towards the honey-sweet voice.

It was coming from a girl. She sat on the edge of the marble fountain, singing a sweet song. Her shoulder-length blond hair had clips in order to keep it from falling into her face. She was wearing a simple, light blue dress that ran down to her knees. Her feet were bare, but she had a silver anklet on her left ankle.

Not only is her voice beautiful, Demyx subconsciously thought, bus so is she.

Subconsciously, Demyx rose up a little higher and higher, both to see and hear the girl better. Her voice was clear, and twinkled like bells.

~"I don't need anything else, I don't need or want your money"~

~"Is it okay to want a date every now and then?"~

~"I don't need a hundred, just one will do"~

~"So I want to hear those words"~
~"I want to hear you say I love you"~

The girl sang out in her clear voice. At this point, Demyx couldn't hold it in anymore. Subconsciously, he had taken out his sitar, and now held it in playing position. He looked down at it in slight confusion, and it looked right back at him.

Go on, his sitar seemed to whisper, it's okay.

Before Demyx knew it, he had started to play along with the girl, filling in the instrumental part. He stood up completely and started to approach the girl. The 16-year-old boy played, and started to sing along.

~"Let's talk about something. There are times when I'm just complaining, I know"~
~"Even when it's just the two of us together~"

Demyx sand. The girl stopped abruptly upon hearing his voice, and stared at him with wide eyes. It was obvious: the girl was scared. But as she listened, her expression melted into something else. Something you could even call happiness, to some extent. She let Demyx approach her, and continued to sing. Their voices rang out in perfect harmony.

~"There are times when this silence is bad"~
~"Soon, the day will be over. Once again, the two of us"~
~"Without words, we will understand each other"~

The two youngsters finished the song together. When it was over, they simply stood there and looked at each other. The girl smiled warmly at him. She opened her mouth to speak, but at that moment, Saïx's voice echoed in Demyx's head.

"Make sure you're not seen by anyone". Demyx thought, Crap! Saïx will kill me!

Before the girl managed to say anything, Demyx ran back behind the rose bush. He summoned a dark corridor quickly, and entered it, hoping it wasn't too late. Thankfully, the girl didn't see the dark corridor. To her, it must have just looked like her went behind the bushes and simply disappeared.
