Me: I've had this chapter typed out and ready to post before school ended. I've just been really lazy and haven't posted it. I apologize about my laziness. I'm working on next chapter so no worries. I hope to have it up soon with work and all…

Part Nine: Maybe
Demyx went to run after her, but Saix blocked his way. "Move!" he said, hysterically. "Please! Melody!" Saix placed a hand on the frantic Nobody.
"Sit," he said in a firm, demanding voice and pointed to the bed. Demyx obediently walked over to the bed and sat. Saix turned his attention to the red head. "You." Axel blinked a few times, coming out of his daze, and focus on the blue haired man. "Don't you have some matters to attend to?" Axel looked up in thought for a moment before nodding and disappearing through a portal. Saix turned back to the blank, paled face of Number Nine. Saix sighed and ran a hand through his long, smooth hair.
"Why would you say such things?" he asked.
"I didn't know she was listening," Demyx spoke softly, not looking at him.
"Listening or not; what I don't understand is why you would say words you don't mean."
"But I do mea-"
"No, you don't. You know as well as I do that you don't. I know you care for her."
"I don't care about anyone," Demyx spoke, somewhat uncertain.
"Fine, so I guess you wouldn't care if I go downstairs right now and destroy her myself?" Saix asked curiously.
"Go ahead," Demyx winced at his answer, finally glancing at Saix; his was blank of emotion.
"Better yet," Saix continued, trying to break the barrier. "I'll have Xaldin come and do the job instead." Fear clung onto Demyx; he couldn't be serious…could he? "Just imagine!" Saix exclaimed. "her heart wrenching cry out for your help as Xaldin slowly tears her heart out. And you, just standing off to the side, not feeling an inch of guilt from allowing her to die in such a torturous fashion!"
"No! Melody!" Demyx broke, sprinting for the door. Saix reached out and grabbed him, holding him back.
"She looks at you with pleading eyes that are begging you to save her from this fate. She shouts out your name despairingly," Saix says, voice rising.
"I'm here, Melody! I won't let you die!" Demyx shouts out, frantically reaching out to the invisible scene before him.
"It's too late now!" Saix continues. "She stares at you with sad eyes and takes a struggled breath. She whispers 'I love you' with the last remains of air in her lungs. Her eyes become glazed and empty of emotion as Xaldin drops her to the cold, cruel floor. A wicked smirk spreads across his face as he holds out her heart to you. You watch in horror as it's devoured in darkness."
"No!" Demyx cries out.
"Yes! Melody is dead! And it's all because you didn't care enough to help her!"
"Melody!" Demyx cries out yet again, dropping to his knees.
"How could you, Demyx?" Saix asked, appalled. "She was only sixteen! How could you let her die?"
"Melody!" Demyx shouted out in one last despairing cry, tears running down his hot cheeks. Saix backed away from the now distraught teen. Maybe Demyx hadn't been the best guinea pig to test the power of illusion that Zexion had taught him. He opened a portal and stepped through, knowing that Melody was the only one who could help him now.

Melody sat at the kitchen table, trying to sort out all that's happened to her in the past few weeks. She had spent these two weeks with Organization XIII, but her friends had shown no signs of worlds domination like Sora had earlier described them. Obviously Xaldin did; and didn't he speak of a Superior? The Superior must be behind all this destruction. What about the purple haired man? She'll have to look into him. Now Demyx, he had called himself number nine, so there must be more members than the ones she'd already met. Melody sighed and dropped her head onto the table.
"Ow," she muttered, rubbing her forehead. "Bad idea."
"Melody!" She jumped out of her seat and clumsily fell to the floor.
"Not my day, now is it?" she mumbled, standing up and placing the chair upright.
"No! Melody!" Her gaze traveled over to the staircase, attention focused on the distressed cry.
"Demyx?" she questioned softly to herself.
"Melody!" came Demyx's cry, full of despair.
"Demyx!" Melody shouted, knocking over the chair once again in her hurry. She bounded up the stairs to her room, finding Demyx kneeling on the floor with tears flowing down his red cheeks. "Demyx?" she asked softly. He looked up at the witch with a face that could even give Xaldin a heart.
"Melody?" he whispered in disbelief. He took in his surroundings and realized that he'd been in Melody's room the whole time. When done tracking the room, his gaze once again met hers. Melody watched in concern as Demyx's eyes slowly closed; Melody was able to catch him before falling over. Melody cradled the broken teenager in her arms, burying her face in his hair. "Oh, Demyx," she sighed.
XxXxXxXxX
Demyx quietly plucked at his sitar, being cautious not to wake the sleeping girl next to him. He was embarrassed that Melody had found him in his previous state. She wouldn't have found him like that if he hadn't acted like a complete jerk. He ran a hand through his hair and once again concentrated on his music; this time singing softly. He had wrote the song for Melody.
Didn't
you want to hear
the sound of all the places we could go
Do
you fear
the expressions on the faces we don't know
It's a
cold hard road when you wake up
and I don't think that I
Have
the strength to let you go
Maybe it's just me, Couldn't you
believe
that everything I said and did, wasn't just deceiving
And the tear in your eye, and your calm hard face
makes me
wish that I was never brought into this place
After finished with that song, he went to go play another, but froze when he felt two arms snake around his waist. He looked down and saw Melody bury her head in his stomach.
"Demyx?" she mumbled into him.
"Yeah?" he said softly.
"Are you going to kill me?" she asked, attempting to hide herself in his waist. He looked down at the body that clung to him, feeling guilty and ashamed for his harsh words from earlier. He ran his fingers through her hair, hesitating when he felt her tense a bit. Demyx sighed, wrapping his arms around her fragile waist and cradling her in his arms. She placed her head on his chest, not daring to look up at him. They stayed like that for what seemed like an eternity of decades until she finally met his gaze, apparent sadness in her eyes. You should leave and forget about me; pretend that I don't exist. Unless you'd prefer…" she whispered, not finishing the sentence. Pure shock spread over the Nobody's face. Melody snuggled closer to Demyx, hiding her face as he spoke.
"I will never leave you." Melody smiled into his chest, allowing exhaustion to take over her mind and body. Demyx quietly whispered into her ear, "I promise. I lied when I said I didn't care, because I do care; more than you'll ever know." He smiled at the sleeping girl in his arms. "I love you." She smiled in her sleep and he hoped that she heard him in her dreams; but that' all it will ever be. Only a dream.
