Me: Welcome back everyone!

Melody, Demyx, Saix, Axel: Hiiiiii!

Me: Writing this chapter had been the cure for my boredom in my Art History class this semester, hence such a quicky update [unlike my two year periods of not updating]

Melody: Go read!

Saix: The author does not own us or any of the other game…things….involved in KH2.

Chapter 14: Missing You

XxXxXxXxX

"Demyx!" Melody squeaked in surprise. The Nobody stood in the doorway, smirking at his two friends. Melody glanced at Saix worriedly. "Can't you fix him?" she whispered.

"But the Superior-" he began.

"I don't care about the stupid Superior! Just make him normal again!" Melody said through gritted teeth, becoming aggravated.

"One shouldn't keep secrets," Demyx tisked, and started to advance towards them.

"Now would be nice," Melody stated, not taking her eyes off Demyx.

"Fine," Saix sighed. "But you're going to have to distract him."

"Are you insane?" she asked him, eyes wide. "News flash: he has powers, I don't. Now tell me, how am I supposed to distract him?"

"Run around and try not to get hit," he shrugged, throwing out his idea. Melody's jaw dropped at his suggestion.

"Melody!" Demyx called out. Melody looked at him just in time to see a wave of water heading straight for her. She barely jumped out of the way in time as the wave went crashing through one of the Domes many windows. Melody gaped at the destruction the wave had done, realizing that could've been her. She then turned her shocked gaze towards Saix.

"Good jump?" he offered as a form of apology.

"I dislike you sometimes," she returned.

"At least he warned you," he shot back.

"You got lucky," Demyx called out, making his way closer to the duo, sitar in hand. "I won't miss next time."

"You better fix him," she growled as she began running around the room avoiding Demyx's attacks.

Xemnas gazed at the scene below him, witnessing his last living ally betray him for the witch. He solemnly turned his back on the trio and walked into a haze of darkness.

"The remaining members are about to fall at the Keybladers hand," the Superior called out into the darkness. "It is time for your return."

"What do you wish, my Superior?" a voice answered.

"To finish what the others could not; destroy the witch and her friends."

"With pleasure," obeyed the voice, a smirk slowly crossing its features.

"Watch it!" Melody shouted, leaping back when a lightning bolt struck at her feet. "Could you work a little faster?" she directed her comment at Saix.

"If you two would stop interrupting, I'd be done by now. Just keep him still," Saix responded.

"Oh my God; I'm gonna die," she said in realization of Saix's request. She couldn't believe she had to play the part of a sitting duck. Melody searched the room, keeping an eye out for Demyx, but she only saw Saix present across the room. "Demyx?" she called out cautiously, continuously scanning the room.

"You called?" said a voice into her ear. Melody shrieked in surprise by his sudden presence. "You won't get away now," he sneered, readying to strike.

"Melody, watchout!" Saix exclaimed. She looked up in time to see a bolt of blue light heading towards her.

"Melody!" shouted a new voice. She noticed the voice belonged to Sora who was now standing behind Saix in the doorway. Within seconds she was forcefully pushed backwards by the blue light and landed ungracefully on top of Demyx.

"Saix, I'm going to kill you," she muttered under her breath.

"I warned you," Saix answered her threat. Melody glared at him, questioning why she continued to communicate with him. She heard Demyx moan beneath her and she immediately rolled off. "Oh my gosh! I'm so sorry, are you okay?" She asked frantically, kneeling over the Nobody.

"Yeah, I think so," Demyx groaned, sitting up and rubbing his head. That's when Melody heard the clattering of metal not too far from where they were.

"That's not good," she whispered, watching her cousin and Number Seven battling each other a few feet away. She realized how bad it must've looked to Sora when Saix shot the blue light at her. Her attention then turned to Demyx who had begun to pick himself up off the ground.

"Demyx?" she questioned as he stood up next to her, unsure if he was back to normal. Her question was answered with an icy glare. She felt her arm being grasped and was quickly dragged to her feet and away from Demyx.

"He's still all evil-like!" she exclaimed to the blue haired man.

"I'm currently busy at the moment," Saix said, blocking a fire strike Sora sent at him. "Now try to stay out of trouble just this once. Babysitting you seems to be all I do lately." Melody looked up at him through narrowed eyes and childishly stuck her tongue out at her friend. "I saw that, Melody," he chided. "Just make sure Demyx stays clear of your cousin."

"What about you?" she asked worriedly, becoming serious again.

"Don't worry about me, I can take care of myself," he reassured her, gazing down at her. "Be careful, Princess," he whispered, lightly stroking her cheek.

"Saix?" she questioned, noticing a sad longing in his eyes.

"Let her go!" Sora shouted, sending a variety of spell attacks at Saix. He flawlessly blocked each attack followed by sending a few of his own.

"Time for you to go," Saix said, not taking his focus off the Keyblader. "Demyx is heading this way." Melody turned around and, sure enough, Demyx was making his way towards her.

"You better be careful," she warned Saix before running right past Demyx to the opposite side of the large room. She couldn't let Sora see Demyx attack her or he'd get the wrong idea.

"There's nowhere to run," Demyx called out, closing in on her.

"Demyx, snap out of it!" she shouted at him, wondering how she could possibly break whatever hold was on him.

"You shouldn't have betrayed me," he sneered. Melody was soon backed up against the glass of the Dome. She really did have nowhere to run and Demyx was almost on top of her. She needed to think of a way to fix him and quickly. "And to believe I actually loved you," he sneered, looking away from her almost as if regretfully disgusted with himself.

"What?" Melody gasped in shock, caught off guard. She felt her heart quicken at the confession she just heard. "You-you love me?" she choked out, trying to comprehend what he had just said. She wasn't sure whether to believe him or if this was just another trick of the magic that had been worked on him.

"Not anymore," he growled, his focus returning back to the witch and sending a forceful wave at her. Before she realized what was happening, the wave crashed into her, shattering through the Domes window and taking her with it. Melody cried out and outstretched her hands, reaching out for any form of support. Her grasp quickly found the edge of the window, bits of broken glass digging into her palms.

"Demyx!" she called out instinctively, gazing down fearfully at the drop below her. She couldn't even find a trace of the ground below, just the endless night sky.

"Melody!" she heard Saix call out from within the room.

"Saix!" she cried out in relief. "Please, help me!" she said, attempting to pull herself up, but soon regretting it as pain shot through her hands. Her grip loosened from the pain and she felt herself slipping. She immediately tightened her grip, trying to ignore the shards of glass cutting into her hands. Melody knew she couldn't hold on like this for much longer. Her spirits rose as she saw a pair of black boots appear before her. "Saix, thank goodn-" she stopped herself mid-sentence when she looked up and realized that the boots did not belong to Saix. "Demyx!" she gasped fearfully, starring up into the cold gaze of the Nobody. Melody tried again to lift herself up but only succeeded in losing her grip on the windows frame. Melody cried out as she felt herself jerk to a stop from her fall. She gazed up and saw a hand grasping her arm.

"Demyx?" Melody questioned when she saw the owner of the hand struggling to hang on to her.

"Come on, come on," Demyx muttered to himself, attempting to lift Melody to safety. She let out a panicked cry as she felt herself slipping out of his grasp.

"No!" Demyx growled, reaching down with his other hand. Melody reached up and took hold of the extra support. "I won't let you go, just hang on," he said, trying to keep his balance on the broken windows frame. Melody looked up at him in confusion, wondering if he had truly returned back to normal. "I'm sorry, Melody," he said suddenly.

"What?" she looked up, confused.

"I never meant to hurt you," tears welled up in the Nobodies eyes as he said this. Melody longed to wipe away her friends tears and had to look away to hide her own watery eyes.

"Demyx, I-" she began, but her words of forgiveness caught in her throat when she looked up at the Nobody. "No! Demyx, look out!" she shouted fearfully. They had lost their hold on each other before Demyx was able to find out what had frightened the girl.

"Melody!" he cried out in despair, watching as she fell out of his reach.
