Ok, I've decided. We're going to let the story flow on its own and what happens…happens (please don't be mad!). If it doesn't come out a Demiku, I promise to write another one that is. Sorry I haven't updated in a while. I've been really busy lately. Thanks for all of your reviews! Keep them coming! (Please!!!)

Sora made it back to the cave, dripping wet and shivering. He carried a few grocery bags full of canned food and nonperishable whatnot. Demyx was still asleep, as was Riku, and Kairi was sitting by the fire wrapped in a fuzzy pink blanket. She smiled when she saw him.
"I take its raining outside?"
Sora nodded and placed the food on the ground, "Yeah."
Kairi stood up and placed her blanket around his shoulders. Sora plopped on the floor and started digging around the bags. He then handed her a can of cocktailed fruit and a can opener. Kairi sat down next to him and gladly accepted the food. Soon, she had it opened and was eating with the plastic fork Sora had given her.
"Stupid thing," He growled, trying to open another can of fruit.
Without any prevail, it slipped from his hands and landed on the floor with a loud clank. Then it proceeded to roll across the floor, hitting Demyx's foot lightly. Sora grumbled and was about to retrieve it when the sleeping figure moaned and began to move. The Melodious Nocturne sat up slowly and instantly placed both hands on his head, intertwining his fingers in his hair.
"Ow…" He mumbled, "Headache."
Sora jumped to his feet and took a fighting stance, just in case things turned ugly. He dropped the can opener and it fell to the ground with a second loud clack. Demyx looked at the two, looking completely confused, first at Sora, then Kairi, then back up at Sora.
"How'd I get here?" he asked.
"I don't know," Sora replied, ready to summon his keyblade at any moment, "How did you get here?"
"I'm not sure. Last thing I remember is…defeating Ansem…and then going to look for you."
"What?" Sora asked, dumbfounded and confused.
Demyx ignored Sora's last remark and picked up the can of fruit. He turned it around in his hand, reading the label. A hungry look washed over his face.
"Mmm…cocktail," he said, licking his lips. Glancing at the can opener on the floor, he asked, "Hey Kairi, can you hand me that?"
"Um…sure…" She said, reaching over and giving it to him.
Demyx, who had better luck opening the can than Sora, popped a grape in his mouth with his gloved hand. He looked satisfied as he seemingly savored the flavor. The other two just stared, unable to grasp what was happening.
"H-how do you know Kairi?" Sora stuttered, letting his guard down.
"What are you talking about?" Demyx asked, this time putting a cherry in his mouth, "I've known her as long as you have."
Sora glanced at Kairi, who just shrugged her shoulders, and turned back to the other teen, "But…that doesn't make any sense."
"What do you mean it doesn't make sense?" He questioned, raising an eyebrow, "Has it been that long since I've seen you last?"
"Uh…?"
"Don't you remember? The three of us…we were best friends. We wanted off the islands, and to see different worlds. Then I began craving the darkness and the whole deal with Ansem came into play. Then there was that thing Castle Oblivion and Organization XXI…"
"Wait, hold it," Sora said, cutting off Demyx, "I don't know about Castle Oblivion, but you didn't do any of those other things. And you were part of Organization XXI."
Demyx laughed, "No I wasn't. Why would I join that a bunch of loons? All I wanted to do was wake you up so we could go back to the islands."
Sora was about to protest, but Kairi stopped him by gently asking, "Do you know who you are?"
The teen eat another peace of fruit, giving Kairi a questioning look. It seemed like he was trying to decide whether she was being serious or not. After a few seconds, he answered hesitantly, "Yeah…"
"Then tell us," Kairi said softly, "Who are you?"
Demyx smiled and answered like it should have been the most obvious thing ever, "Riku."

I know you wanted longer chapters, Axel of Oblivion, but I have to stop here because 1.) it's for dramatic effect, 2.) to keep all of you guessing, and 3.) because I have no clue what's going to happen next… (- sweatdrop -) Next chapter will be longer. Anyway, please review!!! I live off of your reviews and need them for inspiration to keep writing!!!
