"Keep going, IX."
It wasn't encouragement. It was more like a threat.
Nevertheless, Demyx pushed himself to his weary feet, sweat dripping from his brow. His arms and legs ached from the strain, but his mind told him to keep moving. To keep fighting. Grasping the neck of his Sitar, he swung the instrument sharply, making solid contact with his opponent. However, The Berserker had braced himself for the impact, bringing up his claymore to spear the weapon. The by gasped in surprise, his lungs begging for much-needed air and rest.
"You cannot beat me." Saix taunted, emotionlessly. "I shall always win."
"That's not true!"
"The power of the Moon…my being, it dominates yours."
"Water is stronger! It can grow stronger! I can beat you!"
Demyx pulled his damaged weapon away, and began to strum the strings as best he could. The notes came out jagged and rough, but large pillars of quivering water was thrown at Saix as a result. Occasionally getting hit, the man charged at the boy, feeling the glow of the moon filling him with strength.
"The Moon dominates all."
"No…Water is stronger! It's dominant!"
Just then, in quick, successive movements, Saix released his full Berserked state of power onto Demyx, defeating the boy quickly and leaving him drained of will and energy on the ground.
Saix turned the other way. "Like I said, the Moon-"
"ARGHH!" Demyx had leapt from the floor and tackled a very surprised Number VII to the floor, pinning him down. Gold eyes stared up into jade ones.
"You see?" Demyx panted. "Water comes back. It can't be controlled! It can be powerful and destructive! Like a Tsunami…there's no stopping it!"
A smirk. "Is that so?"
With incredible speed, Saix grasped the boy's arms tightly and flipped him over, so he had Number IX pinned to the ground, both having traded their previous positions.
The man leaned closer to the boy's fatigued face. "Tsunamis are very powerful indeed, Demyx. But what you do not seem to realize is that the Moon is in control of the water. It controls its force, it's pressure, it's rise and fall. The Moon is dominant. And always will be."
And it was then that The Diviner brought his face to Demyx's, planting a chaste kiss upon his soft lips.
A soft whine and smile, "Okay…but when will the Water be dominant?"
"When the Moon dies."
"But if the Moon dies, won't the water?"
Saix grinned. "And that, my Number IX, is the Tsunami Effect."

I love this. For some reason, this is definitely one of my favorite one-shots!
I got this idea during a car ride to New Jersey…I think I was staring at the clouds…and…well…okay, I have no idea why this came to me. Go figure! But, with a little SaixXDemyx, a tad of Yaoi, and some deep meanings, I think this is one of my bests… :D
