Title: Numero Eighto

Author: Digimon Empress Yaten (de yaten)

Notes: Crack? Inspired by an IM conversation with a friend, in which it was determined that Axel's Other must've been named Lea. And somehow this Lea would be Lea Salonga, the singing voice of Jasmine and Mulan.

Disclaimer: Don't own, don't claim to.

Sometimes, Axel didn't mind Demyx bothering him. It kept him busy, in any case. Sometimes, Axel wished Demyx would leave him alone - especially when he had Official Organization Business(TM) to attend to. Most recently, Axel felt very annoyed at Demyx - after all, Demyx had basically been stalking him to hear him sing.

And right now, Axel wanted to kill Demyx.

"Demyx, if you don't shut up..." warned the redhead.

"Aw, c'mon, Axel! It's your favorite song, right?"

Axel didn't respond.

"It's nothing to be ashamed of! I mean, it is a little sappy - but hey, you're Axel! The Flurry of Dancing Flames! Number Eight in the Organization! Big Number Eight! Nummer Acht! Numero... Eight...o!"

Axel raised an eyebrow. "... And?"

"Well, you can do whatever you want, y'know?"

"Yeah," Axel said, a bit too happily. "I CAN." He summoned a Chakram, and Demyx barely managed to dodge the fireballs.

"H-Hey!" He said. "No need for violence! I swear! I won't tell ANYBODY about your favorite song!"

Axel growled. "It's NOT my favorite song!"

Demyx smiled, embarrassed. "Aw, really? ... Gee, I'm sorry! I really thought... Well, you ARE... I mean, are you sure?"

"YES."

"For reals?" Demyx smiled sheepishly. "Axel? Hmm? For reals?"

Axel sighed. "... for real reals."

Demyx chuckled, and began strolling off. "Hey, Axel?"

"Hmm?"

Demyx grinned broadly, and began to sing (slightly off key), "I can show you the wooorld, shining, shimmeri--AHH!" Demyx dove away from projectile fire, nearly becoming Crispy Demyx for the second time in less than 5 minutes.

Demyx backed away form Axel, his hands up in an apologetic gesture. "Uhh, say, Axel - I'm sorry! Why don't I make it up to you? How about a date? Y'know, ice cream, and soda pop and--"

"Demyx?"

"Yeah, buddy?"

"... Run."

Demyx bolted down the street, giggling as he managed to infuriate Axel (and confuse everyone else) by singing A Whole New World as loudly as he could. Axel could be heard, all night, spouting the trademarked, "BURN, BABY!" as well as the controversial, "I AM NOT LEA SALONGA, DAMN IT!"
