Demyx walked into the white room, unsure of what his next mission would be.
"Y-You wanted to see me, Xemnas?"
"Ah, Number IX. Yes, I have your next mission."
"Blech. Does it involve any fighting, because if it does, you might as well send Ro-"
"Heh. It might, if she decides she does not want to leave."
"She?"
"Yes. The girl you seem to have been obsessed with lately. The Organizations experiment."
Demyx's eyes widened slightly from shock of his experiment.
"I'm not obsessed with her. She's an interesting person. And, experiment?"
"Yes, experiment. IV and I wondered how one of us would survive in the world of light, so we sent XI off to make a Nobody and keep her there. Though we originally expected a man, she seemed to have the strongest heart, so we told him to get her, and bring her to the world she lives in now. A place under the name of California."
"How long has she been living this lie?"
"18 years. Tragic on her part, none of us could feel the pain she will when we tell her that her life's been a lie." Xemnas laughed.
Demyx felt even more sympathy over the girl, and sighed.
"How much time to I have to retrieve her?"
"7 days."
Demyx sighed. "Okay."
After leaving Xemnas' room Demyx walked to his room and sat glumly on his bed, grabbing his sitar and starting playing his favorite song. He waited a couple seconds and started playing the chords.
I have, I have you breathing down my neck, breathing down my neck
I don't, don't know what you could possibly expect under this condition so,
I'll wait, I'll wait, for the ambulance to come, ambulance to come
Pick us up off the floor,
What did you possibly expect under this condition so,
Slow down… He plucked the strings of his sitar and sang the high notes perfectly.
This night's a perfect shade of
Dark Blue, Dark Blue,
Have you ever been alone in a crowded room?
When I'm here with you
I said the world could be burning, burning down
Dark Blue Dark Blue,
Have you ever been alone in a crowded room?
Well, I'm here with you
I said the world could be burning
Til there's nothing but Dark Blue,
Just Dark Blue… He stopped playing because he had heard a knock on his door.
"Yes?"
"It's Axel. I'm coming in now."
"Uhm. Kay?"
Axel calmly walked in, ducking slightly because of his height and sat down in the chair next to Demyx's bed.
"So what did El Numero Uno say?"
"I have to get her, and bring her here." Demyx said glumly, and put his sitar down.
"Told you that would be your mission. Why are you so down about it, anyway? I thought you liked her."
"She seems cool yeah, but, Xemnas said she's been living a lie her whole life…"
"Oh. That's sad."
"Yeah."
"Well. I'll leave it to you. Have fun."
"Whatever." Demyx said, staring into space as Axel left the room.
