Chapter IX: Naminé's intrusion

It had been three days since they stared the plan. Lexaeus had joined in as well. Marluxia had begun to take the lead of the Operation, while Zexion and Vexen took control from behind the scenes. If things were to go wrong, the blame went to Marluxia rather than them. Sora was said to arrive within a day, and Zexion and Vexen had found how who they chose to create.

"Riku Replica." Zexion had called it. He looked over the detailed plans over once more before setting the notes down. "That is what he will be named. A replica of Riku. He will stop the Keyblade Weilder from slaying more Heartless and opening Kingdom Hearts for Xemnas." He smiled, liking the plan. "I will inform Axel to meet the boy at the enterence of Castle Oblivion." He told Vexen before he opened a dark portal and faded into the Darkness.

Demyx sat on Axel's bed, having just arrived when he found out where Axel had run off to. "C'mon, Axel...why are you out here? You can tell me!" He pouted. "Are you avoiding me? Did I do something to make you mad at me? You're working with Marluxia...I thought you hated him and his ideas?" Demyx looked at Axel as he continued to pace back and forth infront of him. Was he upsetting him with all his questions? Whatever the reason, it was bother Demyx more than it should. He stood, grabbing onto Axel's hand, stopping his constant pacing. "Axel! Tell me what is wrong..." He said softly.

Axel pulled his hand away from Demyx's. "Nothing's wrong. I'm just tired, okay?" Axel turned away and walked over to the table where he lit a candle and played with the fire. He glanced over at Demyx and saw the sad look on his face. "Don't look at him that way, Demyx. Nothing is wrong, so cheer up."

"But...you're so distant now. You've never came back for four days now! Something is up and I want to know!" He was worried about him. "You haven't keep sleeping, have you, Axel?" He asked quietly. "Something is bothering you, I know it." He went over to him again, putting his arms around his waist, resting his head on Axel's shoulder. "You should come back to the Castle and rest...you've worked yourself to the point of fustration." Demyx whispered in his ear gently. "Maybe I can play you a song? Something to help you relax?" He offered with a smile, watching the flame moving under Axel's hand. It danced around as Axel's talented fingers minipulated it int moving how he wanted it to. Demyx was so distracted by it, enjoying watching the moving flame. It seems so peaceful...though its minipulator is upsettled about something... Demyx thought to himself, his smile fading. Without realizing his arms tightened around Axel's waist, as if some unknown force was going to seperate the two forever. Axel... He closed his eyes, removing his gaze from the flames. Something...about this place isn't right. Not right at all! He told himself, wishing he could find the voice to speak, but couldn't. He was too scared to speak.

Axel, still playing with the fire, noticed that Demyx's grip grew tighter, his anger and fustration went to concern. "Demyx? You okay? What's wrong with you?" He asked. When he noticed Demyx not responding, he pulled Demyx's hands off of him, held them and turned around as he looked into his eyes. "What's going on? Come on! Say something!" After still no response he shook him to see if he could get an answer. "Demyx...say something, damnit!" Axel began to worry - more than he'd like to.

Demyx was still completely silent, but he was staring at Axel. His eyes were wide but distant, tears flowing down his face. "It-it's not right..." He breathed, his body beginning to shake in Axel's arms. He snapped out of it after Axel yelled at him the second time, looking up at Axel. "I-i'm ganna go..." He whispered, his voice paniced. "B-be careful, Axel..."

"What's not right? What do you mean?" Axel grabbed Demyx and pulled him closer into a hug. "Talk to me...please." He whispered in his ear.

"S-something about this place..." He shook his head. "Something bad is happening..." He whispered, shaking in Axel's arms.

"I have no idea what you're talking about..." Axel held him rubbing his back lightly. "Are you going to be okay? What's so bad about this place? I just don't understand..."

"I don't know! I don't know what's wrong...Its just..." He went silent, pulling out of his grip. "I-i need to go...Xemnas still thinks i'm in Twilight Town..."

Axel looked at Demyx and kissed him. "Be careful...okay? I don't want you to get hurt." He hugged him one last time. "Hurry."

Demyx nodded, leaving quickly moments before Zexion entered the room.

"Axel," Zexion started, crossing his arms. He knew Demyx was present in the room earlier, but ignored it. "We have an unwanted guest inside of the Castle. Take care of him, will you?"

Axel nodded. "Okay, who's the visitor?" Axel stood up, preparing himself.

"The Keyblade Master." Zexion said, turning to leave. He stopped before entering the portal again. "Oh...did you say anything to him?" He asked, glancing back at him.

"No." Axel looked down, saddened. "I said nothing. Don't worry about a thing." Axel walked out and began looking for the intruder.

"Good..." Zexion left as well. Didn't want to have Naminé kill him infront of you. He thought to himself.

Axel sighed as he thought. Demyx...i'm so sorry. I just couldn't tell you. Please...Forgive me. He continued walking, feeling guilty for what he was about to do.

There's no turning back now, though. I'm sorry, Demyx. I love you.
