Chapter Ten

After Rei had taken care of the lumps in Demyx's head from where she had hit him with the books she made some tea and they sat down by the fireplace. She sighed as Demyx blew on his tea to get it colder so he could drink it. She was amazed at how someone who looked so nice and was so childish could be lacking a heart. Demyx looked up at her.

"What's wrong?"

"Demyx, tell me about what you are."

Demyx looked at her for a moment and frowned.

"Why do you want to know that?"

Rei frowned and looked at her tea pensively. She sighed once again and looked up at Demyx.

"Demyx, please, tell me. Maybe if I know more about you I can help you."

"Rei, you can't help me. I don't think there's any use in me telling you. Anyways, you'll probably find out eventually."

Rei looked at him strangely. She really didn't feel like arguing and so she just sipped her tea as she thought of what he had meant. Demyx looked at her and wondered if he should tell her. He sighed thinking that maybe he could tell her a bit. Like he said, she would find out eventually.

"Fine, I'll tell you a bit, but just a bit."

Rei looked up and smiled.

"Well, what do you want to know?"

"Tell me about your powers."

"I guess you really did research a lot about us." He mumbled.

"Well, you should know by now that we can control darkness like when I use a portal."

"Okay, but what about your other powers? I mean, isn't that why you can control water?"

"Well, yeah, but I really don't know why I can do that. It's just that when someone loses their heart and becomes a…"

He trailed off as he realized that he had been about to tell her that they were called nobodies.

"Becomes what?" she said suspiciously

"Never mind that." He said quickly.

"Come on Demyx. I already know that you don't have a heart."

"Fine, when a person loses their heart they become a Heartless, but another creature is formed. This creature is called a Nobody."

"So, how many are there? Do they all look human?"

"There are a lot and they don't all look human. Only people with strong hearts retain their form as Nobodies."

"So, what do the other Nobodies look like?"

Demyx thought for a moment about how he could describe Nobodies. Rei waited patiently, but Demyx couldn't come up with a good description.

"Well, there's a lot of different types, but I can't really describe them too well. I could show you…but that could be dangerous…."

"Oh, come on, I can take care of myself."

"I don't know…"

He looked at her and sighed.

"Fine, but not in here. They can be a bit destructive sometimes."

He opened a portal and Rei cringed. She did not like portals. Demyx saw this and smiled.

"Come on, it won't take long."

"Why don't we walk, you know it's good for your health." She said hopefully.

Demyx closed the portal.

"Fine."

He took of his cloak and gloves so that he wouldn't look suspicious and they left. Rei wondered where they were going and then saw that they were headed to the castle where Ansem the Wise had once lived with his six apprentices. She turned to Demyx.

"Hey, Demyx, what happened to the six apprentices of Ansem? Did they really become Nobodies?"

He looked down at her.

"Yeah, they did. Zexy is one of them. He was the youngest one, but he's really smart."

"Oh, so, how did you become a Nobody?"

Demyx thought about it for a while.

"Well, I don't really remember that well. All I remember is I was playing my sitar and then I ran onto some Heartless. When I woke up I didn't have a heart. A short time later I was recruited into…. Hey look! We're here!"

He hurried ahead to avoid Rei as he knew she would question him about what he had just said, or at least what he had almost said. Unfortunately, he didn't move away fast enough and Rei managed to get a hold of his shirt. He stopped and turned to her.

"Demyx, what were you recruited into?"

He slumped his shoulders in defeat and hung his head.

"Rei, I really shouldn't tell you. If I tell you, you could be in danger."

"Don't worry about that."

"I'll tell you some other time, now come on."

Demyx grabbed her hand and pulled her along into the ruins of the area surrounding the castle. He stopped and turned to her smiling brightly.

"You can sit down and I'll summon one."

Rei looked at him confused, but nodded and sat on a large stone. A second later a strange creature appeared. It looked slightly human, but it moved in a very peculiar way. It skated around Demyx who turned to Rei and smiled.

"This is a dancer Nobody and I usually summon them when I fight if I need some help, but I don't really fight too much since I'm not that good."

He rubbed the back of his head sheepishly and Rei smiled.

"So, this is one type of Nobody, but how many are there?"

"Well, I kind of forgot…." He laughed nervously.

Rei sighed.

"Let's see, there's dusks, samurai, creeper…"

Rei watched as Demyx tried to think of the other types of Nobodies. She looked at the strange creature skating around and frowned.

"Demyx, is that really a person?"

Demyx looked at her and frowned.

"No, we're not people Rei, we're just half of what we used to be. We're not even supposed to exist. Like Zexy says, we're just remnants of who we used to be. We can't even be called people."

Rei looked at him and frowned. It bothered him how easily he said it. It was like it didn't matter, but then she remembered that he had no heart. She looked down at the ground and Demyx looked at her uneasily.

"Rei?"

"I'm sorry." She said in a low voice.

Demyx dismissed the Nobody and walked up to Rei. He sat next to her and looked at her.

"For what? It's not your fault, these things happen."

"But it's not fair!"

Demyx looked at her and sighed.

"It doesn't matter if it's fair or not, that's just how things are."

"But it's not right. You had a strong heart and you're so nice. You don't deserve what happened to you. No one deserves to lose their heart!"

He looked away and thought for a moment of what he should do to make the girl feel better. Having no heart meant that it was difficult for him to sympathize with her, but he could at least try to remember. He thought for a few seconds and then remembered something that always made him feel better. He smiled brightly and turned to Rei. He summoned his sitar and she looked at him.

"How about some music?"

She smiled, but like before, something seemed wrong with the way she smiled. He supposed she was still upset. He smiled and began to play. He played for a while and then stopped before she fell asleep. She was leaning against him and he turned to her and smiled.

"I guess I have to work on that."

"Well, I still like it." She said sleepily.

Demyx smiled as she yawned and he let her rest against him. He held her as she rested her head against his chest and closed her eyes. For a minute he thought she had fallen asleep.

"Demyx?"

"Yeah?"

"I think you still have a heart."

He looked at her and raised an eyebrow.

"What makes you say that?"

"No one without a heart can play such beautiful music."

Demyx smiled.

"Well, I guess I really must have talent to be able to put feeling into my music when I lack emotions."

She stayed quiet and Demyx just sat there looking around. Suddenly he heard someone approaching and saw something moving. He tensed, but relaxed when he saw that it was Leon. He stopped when he saw him with Rei and frowned. He walked up to them and Rei finally realized that he was there. She sat up quickly.

"Hi, Leon."

"HI, what are you doing here?"

"Well, I just wanted to take a walk and Demyx offered to come with me. What about you?"

"I came to see if I could find anything in the castle, but then I heard some music and came to see what it was."

Leon looked at the sitar resting next to Demyx.

"Oh, that was me, I thought Rei would like to hear some music." Demyx said cheerfully

Leon frowned. Rei stood up and Demyx followed.

"Well, I hope you find something, Leon. I guess we should leave, but if you need help you can always ask me."

"Yeah, bye, Rei."

"Bye, Leon."

Rei turned to walk away with Demyx. Before she could leave Leon held her back.

"Be careful okay?"

She looked at him and then smiled.

"Of course, and try to get some rest."

He sighed and smirked.

"You too."

They left and Demyx let his sitar disappear when they were far from Leon. Rei yawned and he smirked.

"Why don't we use a portal so we can get home faster?"

"Home?" She asked while she smirked.

Demyx looked away.

"I mean so you can get home faster."

Rei chuckled.

"No, you're right, my home is your home as long as you're my friend."

Demyx looked at her and smiled. He was glad to have a place he could call home.
