To be hurt, to feel lost, to be left out in the dark.
To be kicked when you're down, to be like you've been pushed around.
To be on the edge of breaking down, and no one's there to save you.
No, you don't know what it's like...
Welcome to my life...

"Welcome To My Life" By Simple Plan

Chapter 10

The guy drags me into the alley as Axel and Zexion continue walking, unaware of my predicament. I try to struggle away but the guy grabs my shirt and pulls back, the point of the gun pressing into my back.

"Now, little dude. Give me your munny." The guy yells, his gun still pressed into my back.

Axel! Zexion! Where are you guys, how can you not notic me not there anymore? If they don't come soon...I yelp as he pokes my back with the gun again.

"Well, kid. Give me your munny, NOW." He yells, obiviously getting madder.

I gulp, trembling. "I-I-I don't.....have a-any munny. My friend Axel has it!" I yell out quickly, wanting it to be over with quickly.

I've been shot before so I guess I can take it again. I squeeze my eyes shut, ready for the bullet.

It never comes.

"Axel? How you know Axel, kid?" The guy turns me around.

I stare in shock, Xigbar stands in front of me. His old Organization guns by his sides. He wears a biker uniform with the sleeves torn off, revealing all the scars he has. I sigh in relief, its only Xigbar.

He grins wide, "Demyx! How's life been going?" He shoulders his gun on his shoulder.

"HEY, LET DEMYX GO!" Axel stands at the end of the alley, flames burning around him in anger.

Xigbar looks at Axel and waves, "Hey, Ax. Long time no see." He lets his guns disappear, chuckling nerviously, "Enjoying your stay at Port Royal?"

Axel looks in shock, "Xig-Xigbar?"

***

"Sorry bout that, Demyx. Didn't recongnise you with those clothes and that headband." Xigbar says, sitting on a crate.

He rubs his head in embrassement. I laugh and take it off, placing it back in my pocket.

"Better?"

" Not much, but I'll get use to seeing you without the coat." he grins wide, leaning back on the wall behind him.

Axel grins, "Isn't this a sight? A skateboarder, a biker, a punk, and a ganster, all sitting down together." He shakes his head and laughs.

Zexion shakes his head and looks at Zigbar, "So, this is your homeworld?"

Xigbar shakes his head, "Nope, I only hang around here just to scare the heck outta my old enemies. I get a kick outta the way they act, like they seen a ghost."

I'm glad that Xigbar is the same old Xigbar, I sorta remember how he use to act in the Organization walking on the ceiling at every chance. I wonder, if Axel kept his fire powers and I kept my water powers, did Xigbar keep his power over space?

I lean foward, "So, can you still walk upside down?"

He nods, "I just love popping right in front of someone and scaring them to death. Around here I'm known as the 'Vertigo Ghost'"

Axel laughs and falls off of his crate, "Vertigo Ghost, I get it, Ohhh, ha, ha, ha, haaaaaaa."

I shake my head at Axel's behavior, "So you staying here?"

He shakes his head, "As if, I'll leave sooner or later. You know, too many bad memories here. I came just a few days ago to find my old gang but they were nowhere to be found. Probally left after I did, Heh." He kicks up his feet and leans back, "I don't blame the dudes, I would've left after that too."

I nod, "We'll be leaving tommorrow. We're trying to find where we belong."

Xigbar nods, "Know what that's like, before I was a Nobody I would travel around looking for my place. That is until...ugh, Xehanort convinced me to come to Hallow Bastion, so stupid of me."

Axel grins, "Hey, you wanna join us? We could use a sharp shooter like you."

Me and Zexion shoot Axel a glare and quickly look away. We already have 3 people and now Axel invites Xigbar. Oh, well. At least its not Saix or Larxene. Beside's Axel's right, we really could use a guy like him, full of wisdom in fighting. Him and Marluxia use to have full blown wars all the time, he should know alot about fighting.

Xigbar thinks about it , "Well, I got it pretty good here and plus, I travel by motorcycle. You three wouldn't be able to keep up. I'll pass."

I looked at him, shocked, I wanted him to come too. Zexion looks disappointed also. I wish we could still use the Corridors of Darkness, though if we try to use it we would probally lose our hearts again, and I don't want that to happen again.

Axel frowns, "Oh, well. That's ok. Hey, maybe we'll meet on a different world, and this time, don't try to mug Demyx."

Xigbar laughs, "Don't worry, I'll mug Zexion next time."

Zexion looks up, a look of complete surprise on his face. Me and Axel burst out laughing, imagining how Zexion would react to getting mugged. Xigbar joins in the laughter, Zexion still looking confused.

Xigbar yawns and gets up, "You three need a place to crash?"

We nod, "Yeah, we were planning to sleep in a hotel,......or was it a motel?" Axel says.

I look back at the hotel,loud yelling coming from it. I cringe as I hear glass shatter from inside and I see a chair fly out the window landing with a crash onto the road. I look at Axel as if he's crazy. He can sleep in there but not me. Knowing my luck I'd probally get killed by a pirate or another biker. Xigbar sees me staring at the hotel, looking in shock.

Xigbar shakes his head, "As if, you all are sleeping at my place tonight. Least I can do for scaring Demy."

I groan, he didn't scare me that bad. But at least I don't have to spend the night in the hotel of doom.

Axel stands up, "Cool, Thanks Xigbar."

We get up and follow Xigbar as he leads us away from the alley. I stay by Axel, too scared that I would get abducted again. Axel chuckles and puts his arm around my shoulders, trying to calm me down. I sigh and continue with the group feeling alittle bit safer with Xigbar leading the way and Axel beside me. Xigbar chuckles as we approach a bar, outside is parked a purple and black Harley.

Xigbar walks towards his motorcycle, "I'll need to take this home but I'll ride slow so you can keep up."

He grabs a hold of the handle but stops, all of us looking at each other in shock. A strangly familiar sound comes from behind us, freezing us in our tracks. A sound we never expected to hear again. I slowly look behind me and stare in shock as a swirling vortex opens behind us. A corridor of Darkness, but how? All of us were killed by Sora or Riku and regained our Hearts, what else would use the portal but a Nobody? There are no more Nobodies so this can't be happening, its..its.....

"Impossible." I say, stunned.

I feel the Corridor of Darkness, calling out to me. A soothing sensation overwhelms me as I look into its dark depths. A strange attraction to it draws it towards it. Like its trying to get me to walk into its endless depths. I start walking towards it, the darkness feeling very welcoming. I feel it pulling me in by some unknown gravity, calling me, begg......

Axel notices me starting to head for the portal, my eyes clouded over as the portal puts me into a trance. Axel rush after me and grabs onto my shoulder. "Demyx! Stop!" Axel yells and yanks me back.

I snap out of it and step away from the Corridor of Darkness, looking around confusedly. I-I had almost walked into the portal, if it wasn't for Axel. I-I'd be a Nobody again.

"Ma Ha Ha." I jump as I hear an weird evil laugh come from the portal. "Finally found you four. It's such a pain, finding former Nobodies."

Zexion draws his katana, its three white ribbons billowing in the air, prepared to face what ever came out of that portal. I also draw my sword, not wanting to be caught off gaurd. Axel and Xigbar, tense up, wondering what the heck was going on. What comes out of the portal comes as a shock to us. Its a girl with short spikey black hair and red, cat-like eyes. She steps calmly out of the portal. She wears the Organization's signature coat with a few extra things on it. Including an orange belt around her waist, 8 Nobody charms are hooked onto the belt.

"The name's Kexkio. Comprende?"

Axel growls and summons his Chamkras, not pleased that she copied his catch prase. Kexkio looks in surprise.

She smirks, her fangs showing slightly, "Wait, you 4 are part of the original 13, aren't you? Xytus will definitely promote me now."

Who the hell is Xytus? Another Nobody like her? Kexkio looks at me and grins, her red eyes glowing demonically in the night. I shiver, offically creeped out.

Xigbar grabs up his guns and smirks, "Look chick, I don't know who you are, but leave us alone."

Kexkio laughs and grabs a charm from her belt, "Leave you alone?" the charm turns into a black collar, floating around her, "I can't just leave you alone now that I've found you."

The collar attaches to her right wrist and a silver and black broadsword appears in her hand, resembling the Nobody symbol. I gulp, her eyes staring right at me, it feels like she's already attacking my heart with just her stare. I grip my sword tighter.

"Instead, I have to take you by force." She looks at me and purrs, "I'll choose you first, you're just radiating with fear." She charges at me.

I yelp and block her swing with my sword. Axel lunges at her, Chamkras flaming. She easily kicks him back, while at the same time swinging her sword to block and attack from Zexion. I try to swing at her but she blocks me again, this time knocking me to the ground, sword pointed at my throat. Xigbar shoots at her, the red crystal just missing her shoulder. She growls an animal-like growl, "You 3. You need some company."

She summons three cat-like nobodies. They have the bottom half of an lion and the top is more like a human with heartless feelers. It has a blindfold over its eyes, suggesting that it can't see at all. Around it floats three orbs, one on each feeler and one near its tail. At first they are silver but the quickly turn red and charge at Xigbar, Zexion, and Axel.

She chuckles, "Hopefully my Blindsides will be more than enough to handle you three." She turns to me as I hop up, getting away from her blade. "Now, are you coming with me or do I have to drag you back to the Organization?"

I growl, serious now. Before I was unprepared, now? Well, now I'm just mad. How dare she send those creatures to attack my friends. I swing for her head, aiming for a kill blow. She completely dodges the swing and slashes at me. I growl as a nick appears in my shirt as her sword barely misses slicing my chest. I scramble backwards as she swings her sword back and forth, trying to cut my chest in an attempt to capture my heart. I need to stop this! I grin as I get an idea. I lunge at her and swing my sword. She blocks like I expected she would. I grin and sweep my leg under her feet. She yells and falls to the ground. I stab my sword at her but she rolls over to avoid it and slashes at me. I try to get my sword out of the ground but it's stuck tight.

She grins, "Check."

She lunges at me and I hop back, letting go of my sword. Forget this, I'm not a swordman, I'm a Sitar player! I connectrate and form a bubble of water in my hand, summoning my Sitar in my hand. I block her sword with the bridge of my Sitar. Kexkio gasps in surprise at my weapon. I grin and strum the strings, a huge wall of water appears behind me. Kexkio hops back and hisses at the sight of the water, her eyes wide in fear.

I smirk, "And mate."

The wave crashes down on her, slaming her to the ground. She coughs as the water runs off of her, the sword in her hand disappears.

She growls, her eyes shining in the dark, "Asshole, you got 'cough' me wet!" She stands up, stumbling around. She is soaked to the bone, growling like a cat, "You won this time Demyx, 'cough' next time you won't be so lucky!"

She opens a portal and dashes through it. As it closes the Blindsides disappear too. Everything's quiet and peacful...too quiet. I look around, hope everyone's ok. I hear a big explosion behind me and cringe in surprise, random metal pieces flying by me. A handle bar lands in front of me, smoking and skidding down the road.

"What did Axel blow up this time?" I groan out and turn slowly around.

Xigbar looks helpless as he stares at his burning bike, not believing what he was seeing. Zexion slaps his forehead in aggrivation. Axel backs away, scared to death as the flames lick up the costum paint job and torching the engines and leather seats. Axel had to have done that.

Axel groans and backs away, "Oh, man." He blurts out.

I was right. Xigbar balls up his fists as the rage builds in him. Axel is an idiot, I think as I let my Sitar disappear. Axel chuckles nerviously as Xigbar glares at him with his one good eye.

"My-my-my BIKE! You k-killed my BIKE! THAT is SO not cool, dude!" Xigbar points at his destroyed bike, "That cost me, 1,000,000 munny!"

I gulp at the numbers. Axel, you've done it now, you really made an enemy.

"Zexion hops in front of Xigbar, "Xigbar, Stop!!!"

Zexion stands in front of Xigbar trying to stop Xigbar from killing Axel. Xigbar stops and looks at Zexion which surprises me, usually when Zexion got in somebody's way in the Organization they just simply ran over him or shoved him out of the way.

Zexion holds his hands out peacefully, "Look calm down, we can get you a new bike, ok? We just got to earn some more munny." Zexion looks at me, "How much we got?"

I point at Axel, "He's got the munny."

Zexion and Xigbar glare at Axel. Axel hurriedly grabs the munny pouch and starts to count it.

He gulps, "We got 5,000 munny." He holds up the munny pouch as if it would protect him from Xigbar's fury.

I sigh and shake my head, "Or we could just D-block one."

Everyone looks at me confused, "D-block?" They ask, confused as to what it meant.

"D-block, you know,…..steal." I try to explain.

How could they not know what D-block means? I grab my Katana and yank it out of the ground, dusting it off on my kahki pants leg. I start to laugh as I look at Xigbar chase after Axel, shooting at him while running upside-down.

"Come on…stop fo…fo…." I fall to the ground, my side on fire.

The guys stop fighting and rush towards me.

"Demyx!" Axel rushes to my side, he look over me worriedly wondering what was wrong with me.

I feel my side and freeze. I bring my hand in front of my face a warmth on my hand. I groan as I see the wet blood on my fingers.

I look up at Axel, my breathing getting rapid, "Crap, she got me."

How did she get me? I dodged every blow....oh. It probably happened when my sword got stuck in the ground and she took that swing at me. I try to focus on Axel, Zexion, and Xigbars faces but they are getting dimmer by the second. I groand and clutch my side in pain. Axel growls and picks me up. He yells something at Xigbar, but I can't make it out. Then he takes off running after Xigbar and Zexion, something about 'hospital' and 'quickly'.

"Hold on bud, we'll help you." Axel whispers to me as I black out.

Finally was able to type it up. I actually had to type it 3 times!! I went to save it and Fanfiction logged me out. T_T 3 TIMES!! Oh, well, probally just a bad connection. I'm on wireless so it probally wasn't connected to the internet at that point and time. I love all the comments you all gave me, thank you.
