Chapter 2; finding out about missions
I hope you remember the mission Xemnas said that Demyx had. Well… Zexion watches Larxene while it occurs, and they go to where Demyx's mission is taking place…
The interrogation was Erica's idea. Erica being 0Melodious-Nocturne0, of course.
Disclaimer: not mine.
"Demyx, don't you have a mission?" Larxene asked. Her pretty eyes stared at him for a minute while his mind registered her question.
"Ah, you're right! I do! Crap. Right, until I get back, you're under Zexion's watch, stay with him, got it?" Demyx hurriedly put on his Organization Cloak and led her to Zexion's room. "He should be around here somewhere, but I really have to go. Bye!" Demyx disappeared through a portal to who knows where.
Larxene was left alone. "Okay, that was odd. It's official, he's insane," she said. "Now I'm talking to myself. Great."
"You know, one of the first signs of insanity is conversing with one's self?" a person right behind her said.
"AHHHHH!!" Larxene jumped a couple of feet and the voice snickered. (that's a fun word, 'snickered' hee.)
"Did Demyx drop you off here before running off to his mission?" they asked. The person was Zexion.
"Yes. He said I had to stay with you," Larxene replied shyly. The two of them hadn't gotten much done that day, with him showing her around the castle and all.
"Well, I've got to be somewhere, but it's mostly standing around. So you'll probably be able to come with me," Zexion replied.
"Okay." Zexion opened a portal and waved Larxene through it first. The portal opened into a room with a window, like as not a one way mirror. Xemnas was in the room, standing at the window and watching.
"Six, Twelve. Very nice to see the two of you," he said, inclining his head.
"Sir. I apologize about Twelve being here, but Nine had told her to stay with me until his mission was done," Zexion explained.
"It is fine. Just watch." A man was pacing in the room, where there was a table and two chairs. The door opened and Demyx walked into that room.
"So, what's Dem going to do?" Larxene asked. Zexion told her to watch.
"Please, sit down. Aaron Johnson, right? Can I call you Aaron?" Demyx said.
"I'm fine standing, and no, you can't," Aaron said.
"Sit down before I shoot you, Aaron." Demyx gave Aaron a cold smile. Larxene and Zexion twitched upon seeing the smile. Xemnas, however, did nothing.
"I dare you." Demyx smirked again, pulling a gun from his pocket and shooting Aaron in the foot, forcing him to sit down.
Screaming in surprise, Aaron dropped into the seat that a random Dancer Nobody provided. "Thank you," Demyx chirped to the Nobody.
The Dancer just nodded, and hung behind Aaron, sharp hands holding on to the back of the chair.
"What's he doing?" Zexion muttered to himself.
"Making the prisoner uncomfortable," Larxene said. She had a faraway look in her eyes, like she was remembering times past. "It's a common interrogation technique. He's certainly in a chipper mood."
Both Xemnas and Zexion looked at Larxene with faint curiosity. "And you know so much because…?"
"Doesn't everyone know that?" she asked, still staring at Demyx's interrogation. "Looks like he's gotten used to interrogating by himself."
Demyx had gotten Aaron to tell what he told to Malicefent and her cronies and with minimal damage to himself and his Dancer Nobody. "Thank you very much, Aaron. Your days of usefulness are over." Demyx used the gun from earlier to kill Aaron, wiping the blood splatters off his face with his gloveless hand.
"Xemnas, you, Zexion and Larxene may come in. He was almost useless, but I managed to get the information needed." Demyx stared straight at them through the one-way mirror.
"Demyx, that was impressive." Xemnas started clapping lightly.
"Thank you. I do my best to get information quickly and easily. But… dusks and Dancers aren't really that good to bounce ideas off of, wouldn't you agree, Zexion?" Demyx turned his bright eyes to the others, finally looking away from the corpse of the victim.
"I must agree Demyx. Larxene, your thoughts?" Zexion added, turning the group's attention to the single female. She blinked, nodding slowly and deliberately, rattling her brain for any ideas.
"Having two humanoid Nobodies would make interrogation easier, and it would have the added benefit of, like as not, a sadistic Nobody. It would also make interrogations more interesting," she said. The three Nobodies stared at Xemnas, trying to gauge what he would say. However, he just nodded.
"Zexion, both you and Larxene will join Demyx in the next interrogation. I will be watching, so don't screw up." After the three saluted, he left.
Demyx, still impassive and staring, was startled when Zexion tapped his shoulder.
"Well, Kid, that's all for today, be sure to be up bright and early so we can figure out what weapons you can use and what your element is." Demyx stepped through a portal, as did Zexion. Larxene managed portaling earlier that day, so she pulled one open and managed to hit her target – her bedroom.
It had been a long day and she was ready for sleep.
I'm so sorry. I never meant to abandon this for so long. The fact that this is being updated now is because I can't stand seeing an unfinished chapter on my computer. And it was fairly close to being done.
And now it's official. I've got writer's block on virtually everything except one shots. So, I might have a couple more up soon. Probably. More than Meets the Eye might be updated soon, if I can get the one shot to work with me. It's about three-quarters of the way finished and I've hit a slump.
Ignore my rambling. It's better for your health.
