Hey guys! rather fast update by my standards! I really had to put some thought into this one. There is a reference to a movie in this chapter, and since I couldn't think up a decent chapter title, I used the title of the movie XD Yay for Unoriginality! Anyways, On with the story. Please review! They make my day :)

Disclaimer: Really now? If I owned even the smallest piece of Kingdom Hearts, I probably wouldn't waste my time writing this stuff... I'd be harassing them to make it happen for me :D

Emika felt as the car began to slow, finally coming to a stop in front of a large house.

They were in the much older side of town; This section, a bit farther away from the other houses, was an all new development. This open meadow was destined to become a suburb housing community, and the house she was currently parked in front of was going to be the pride and joy of the surrounding neighborhood.

At the moment, the finishing touches were being added to the lawn and the outside of the house, but it had been deemed fit to live in. Emika had taken it upon herself to find a tenant suited for the beautiful home.

She had made arrangements earlier that afternoon with a... business partner of sorts. This Organization, as they called themselves, had piqued her interest with a reply to a letter she had sent, and that led her to find a way of keeping in touch with them. She knew a few things about them; How they worked, where they'd been, and she even knew a few people they'd run into along the way. But on thing was for certain: They were all like her.

Emika looked at her driver, face void of any emotion, as she spoke with a quiet but steely tone. "I'll be back within the hour. I don't care what you do until then, but this car had better be right here when I walk back out that door. Understood?"

With the driver's head bowed, he replied, "Of course, Miss Yamaboshi."

Emika nodded once and opened her door, stepping out of the car. She swiftly crossed the well manicured lawn and walked up the porch steps to the large front door. Checking her reflection in the plate of glass that ran up the door, she adjusted her skirt so the sai in her right boot couldn't be seen through the slit that ran to the middle of her thigh.

Flipping her hair out of her face, she rang the door bell. She smiled lightly as she heard the annoying bell chime all through the house; They definitely heard her.

"Coming!~" someone chirped from inside.

The door swung in quickly and, reacting on instinct, Emika got into battle stance and pulled her Neko-Te equipped hand back, ready to lunge.

The boy at the door yelped in surprise, causing Emika to straighten up, eyes wide.

"Whoa there, girly. Ya could have just clawed my face off, ya know that?" The boy said with a teasing grin on his face.

"Hmm. My apologies. I'm not normally so on edge." Emika spoke with little emotion.

"Name's Demyx. I assume you're Emika?"

"You shouldn't make such an assumption, but you'd be correct." She said with a smirk on her face.

"And why is that?" he asked, holding the door open in a silent invitation inside.

"Because," she said, walking past him into the entrance way of the home before turning back towards Demyx, crossing her arms across her chest and drumming her Neko-Te on her arm, "everyone knows, when you make an assumption, you make an ASS out of U and UMPTION." she countered with a small smile pulling on the corners of mouth at the look Demyx was giving her.

"Har har." He mocked her with the dumbest look on his face. Emika broke into a fit of laughter.

"You know, I think I've heard that saying before..." He trailed off with a look of deep concentration on his face.

"Have you..." Emika choked, all of the emotion draining from her face and her lips opening just a bit as a memory assaulted her.

~Flashback~

You were laying on your couch, you head in Isa's lap as you watched a movie together.

"...everyone knows, when you make an assumption, you make an ass out of "u" and "umption"." The character on the screen said.

Isa broke out into a fit of laughter. You were trying hard not to laugh so you could still hear what the people were saying, but the blue haired boy's laughter was contagious. You began laughing along with him,the two noises mixing together in the air and steadily growing louder. It got to the point where you had to sit up and hold your sides to keep them from bursting apart as tears ran down your face. Slowly, the laughter began to die down, leaving you both a bit breathless.

"Look at what you did Isa!" You said with laughter in still in your voice, "My mascara is starting to run down my face." You pushed his arm lightly in mock anger. You wiped underneath your eyes.

"My bad, but it was worth it;" he said, pulling you back over to him, "I love your laugh".

A faint blush spread across your cheeks. "I love that too." he said, giving you a breathtaking smile. You smiled back as he bent his head slightly to kiss you. You wrapped your arms around his neck, deepening the kiss as his hands knotted in your long red hair.

"Ya know, I came out here to see why you two were being so loud, and I find blueberry head here eating my sister's face off." Your older brother said as he walked into the living room. You broke away from Isa with a groan directed at your older brother.

"Go away Lea" you said with an irritated look in your eyes and a small pout on your lips. Lea chuckled and looked at Isa.

"Look at you." he said, shaking his head at the disheveled boy on the couch. "Here I thought an action thriller would keep you guys entertained enough to keep you from tearing each others clothes off." he tsked

"Looks like someone's a bit jealous." you smiled at your brother who was 2 years your senior.

"Jealous?" he asked, arching an eyebrow.

"Yeah, I mean, I DID steal your boyfriend and all..." You managed to keep a straight face as Lea's jaw practically hit the floor. Isa fell off the couch laughing at Lea's expression.

"I-What?" Lea exclaimed with a baffled expression.

"Go away Lea, or the next thing I tease you about will be your 'feminine hips'" you said with an evil smile.

Lea's eyes narrowed as he huffed and stalked out of the room. From the floor, Isa began laughing harder. You smiled triumphantly, "Effie 2, Lea 0." you stood from the couch and took a step towards Isa's crumpled form.

"Want some help there, blueberry?" you asked, smirking down at your boyfriend. He held a hand up and you heaved him from the floor.

"You know what?" he said, smiling as he sat back down on the couch and pulled you down with him.

"What?" you asked as you put your head back in his lap.

"I think that was the dumbest thing I've ever laughed about; and I've been friends with Lea since we could talk."

"What an achievement." you retorted sarcastically with a laugh.

Lea picked up the remote and backed up the movie as his fingers played with your hair.

~End Flashback~

"-lo? Are you okay?"

Emika snapped back into reality with a shiver. Demyx was waving his hand in front of her face still. She turned on her heal, startling the boy. "I'm using your restroom." she called over her shoulder as she walked through the living room and into a hallway to where she knew the bathroom was located. She opened the first door on her left and walked in, closing the door behind her quietly with eyes focused on the ground. She stepped up to the mirror and looked up, seeing the tears running down her face for the second time that night.

"Oh, Isa. You're so close, I can feel it." Her eyes were full of sadness, brimming with more tears.

She gave a small laugh. "It's been so long since I've... felt. I miss you Isa." she said to her reflection. How am I supposed to find you here? Your name, it won't be the same. So where do I begin searching?

Something occurred to her then.

Demyx.

He said he had heard their quote before. It was from a popular movie, remember? Who's to say he didn't hear it from watching the movie? Her mind was fighting itself now. Shut up! It's a lead, isn't it? Besides, he said he had heard SOMEONE say it, not that he had just heard it before. She sighed, wiping the tracks of the now dry tears from her face as she turned from the mirror and walked back out of the bathroom.

"Sorry about that." she said when she reached Demyx.

"No problem. Xemnas is waiting upstairs for you. I'll show you where he's at." the blond said, gesturing to the stairs.

"Thank you." she said, walking behind the younger man. "Demyx?"

"Yeah?" he asked, turning to look at her as the scaled the winding steps.

"Earlier, you said you had heard someone say something I had said."

"Yeah, that's right! I was trying to tell you, but you were all... spaced out. Another member of the Organization, Number VII, I've heard him say it a few times."

"Number VII? Does he have a name perhaps? Or do you all go by numbers?" she asked as they reached the top of the steps.

"Yeah, sorry. Force of habit, ya know? We refer to each other as the numbers because they're kind of like a rank I suppose. His name is Saix. He and Number VIII, Axel, are pretty close. If you ask me, it's like they new each other Before. Like they were friends."

"Weird..." Emika said, more for Demyx's benefit than for her own. Her mind was going a million miles a minute.

Saix. Isa could be here! He could be Siax. There is a way to tell; Ask Demyx what color his hair is.

As Emika opened her mouth to ask the question, Demyx said something.

"We're here!" he knocked on the door twice and waited.

"Enter" came a voice from the other side of the door.

Just before Demyx twisted the door handle, Emika grabbed his wrist, looking at him with pleading eyes. "Before you go, please answer me one more question." She said.

"Um, okay. What is it?"

"What color are Saix's and Axel's hair?"

Demyx's eyebrows raised. "Um, Saix has blue hair, and Axel's is bright red. Why?" he questioned, clearly baffled.

"I was just wondering. A lot of Nobodies have strangely colored hair, you know?" She lied easily and opened the door herself, stepping in and closing the door behind her.

The only thing going through her mind was a manatra of He's really here!
