Part Three: Bonding

Melody began to panic; she couldn't see Demyx anywhere. The darkness slowly began snaking up her legs and around her arms, consuming every inch of her body. She felt a pressure in her lungs that threatened to burst if she didn't get oxygen into them soon. She was able to choke out a hoarse plea for Demyx. She felt herself fading from consciousness, knowing that she'll be forever lost in this darkness unless a miracle were to happen and someone would save her from this awful fate.

"Foolish girl," Demyx voice echoed around her. As if answering her silent prayer, she felt a strong hand grasp her wrist and pull her gracelessly out of the black pool and into a white and blue room. Melody fell to her knees, gasping for the air that had been stolen from her. "How many times must I save you in a day?" Demyx asked, looking down at the gaping girl.

"Why did you-"

"Save you?" Demyx said, cutting her off. "Nobody deserves to loose their hearts. Even if they're annoying as you," he said, allowing a hidden smile play across his lips. Melody looked down into her lap, an embarrassed blush rushing to her cheeks. Demyx laughed at the girls' embarrassment. "If it makes you feel any better, I find your girly annoyance cute," he said, surprised that those words had escaped his lips.

"You're the first," she said, beaming at the Nobody. "My mom couldn't stand my childish like ways," she laughed, but her soft pink lips slowly faded into a frown. "I hope she's alright." Demyx was concerned by the girls' worried expression.

"Wanna tell me what happened?" he asked, giving up on the whole not caring thing…just for now.

"I would tell you, but I don't even know what happened. My mom and I had just returned to our house in Hollow Bastion after going grocery shopping. I remember feeling exhausted, so I went to my room to take a nap. I must've fallen asleep because when I opened my eyes, I found myself in the woods surrounded by those creatures. Then I ran into you!" she said, once again cheerful.

"Even in this predicament you're so happy. Why?" Demyx asked, curious to the girls constant excitement.

"Well, people spend too much time dwelling on painful past events. I, on the other hand, take advantage of the joys of the present, allowing life to lead me on an exciting adventure."

"Only if more people could be like you…" Demyx sighed.

"You could easily be like me," she said, now rising to her feet.

"What?" Demyx asked, confused by the girls statement.

"Don't give me that!" she said, fussily placing her hands on her hips. "You think you're so heartless but you're not! I can hear it in the way you laugh."

"You don't understand," Number Nine said, a hint of sadness in his voice. "I truly don't have a heart."

"Give me a break, Issue Boy!" she said teasingly. Demyx was oblivious to the nickname he just received as he spoke.

"Honestly, I don't!" Melody stared at him with an expression on her face that told Demyx she wasn't even close to believing him. Demyx sighed and thought for a moment before coming up with an idea. He hesitantly held out a gloved hand to her, offering for her to take it. She placed her small fragile hand in his large and rather strong one. He slowly pulled her into him, her body almost touching his. She looked up into his hidden eyes with the confusion of a puppy. Demyx nervously pulled her into an awkward embrace, placing his hand on the back of her head and forcing her head to lie against his chest. By this act, Melody became resistant and began to struggle a bit.

"Demyx," she said nervously, attempting to force herself away from his vice like hold on her. "What are you doing? Let me go!"

"Melody," he lightly laughed. "Calm down; I don't bite." Number Nine felt her attempted struggles lessen. "Good; now listen closely," he said, pushing her head into his chest even more. Melody didn't know what she was supposed to be listening for, but did as she was told. She heard nothing except for Demyx's nervous, short intakes of breath. After a few minutes of hearing nothing but his breathing, Melody realized what she was supposed to be listening for; a heart.

"Oh," she gasped, looking up into Demyx's shielded face. "Oh, Demyx," she sighed, embracing the heartless Nobody. "I'm so sorry…" she whispered. Demyx was taken aback; he did not expect this reaction. She was actually showing sympathy for him; a Nobody! He stood stiff as a board while the girl hugged him, not knowing if he should return the embrace or not; fortunately he didn't have to decide.

"Sorry," she whispered, backing away from the shocked member and hanging her head in shame, hiding beneath the layers of hair.

"Heh, don't worry about it," Demyx sighing, pulling down his hood for the first time since Twilight Town and running a hand through his golden brown mullet-like hair. While Melody continued to stand and hang her head, still embarrassed by her actions, he looked around the room that they were in. He had transported himself to Castle Oblivion and now resided in the Hall Of Empty Melodies. "Listen," the Melodious Nocturne said exasperatedly. "No matter how much I'd like to stay with you and chat, I better get back to Twilight Town." Melody looked up, gaping, seeing Demyx's features for the first time since they met. She gazed at him in awe, taking in his appearance; his aqua eyes that had small ripples of white, his golden brown mullet hair hanging aimlessly on his pale face, his soft pink lips resting timidly in a line…

"Melody, are you…okay?" Demyx asked, a bit concerned by the way she was starring at him.

"Huh?" She shook her head, coming out of her daze. "Oh," she gasped, seeing the look Demyx was giving her, "yeah, I'm fine."

"Only if you're sure." Melody nodded. "Alright, come on then," he said, opening a portal of darkness. Melody got the impression that Demyx wanted her to go back into the snake-like haze.

"Demyx, I don't think…" she began, taking a step back.

"It's alright," he assured, offering his hand. "I won't let go." She hesitantly grasped his hand, trusting him not to let her be consumed by the darkness.

"Where exactly are we going?" she asked as they neared the swirling fog.

"Home." Melody looked up at him with a confused look. "Hollow Bastion," he tried again. Both walked into the portal without another word.

Nicole: OrganizationHeartz, we'll just call her Kryxlyn though, is busy attempting to rip Xemnas's voice out. I hope that you enjoyed this chapter. Sorry that it's so short, but she is busily working on Part Four: A Melodies Harmony. Her updating it depends on how much free time she gets during classes and at home. She'll update as soon as she can. Please review…it makes her temper decrease drastically. Please and thank you!
