I do not own the lyrics for To Be, it's a song by Ayumi Hamasaki 3 Also note that I only put down the translation; the real song is in Japanese! Remember, so far it's two for Sora/RoxasxOC and one for AxelxOC. Remember to vote!

Yuki sighed and sat up from her bed. It was the next day, which meant that it was also the next training session with Luxord. Goody goody... Yuki jumped out of her bed and looked out of a window that revealed Kingdom Hearts. Yuki had to admit; the heart shaped moon did look rather pretty. She then walked to her door, opening it to find that Axel was walking in her direction. Yuki smiled and waved.
"Morning, Axel."
Axel nodded, walking past Yuki without saying anything. Yuki blinked and jogged over to match his pace. She walked in front of him, continuing down the hallway backwards as to not stop his pace. "What's eating you? You're all... emo-ish..."
Axel looked down at Yuki with a raised eyebrow and shrugged. "Just a little aggravated... I have another mission and its only recon... Tch, this is gonna be boring..."
Yuki tilted her head and smiled. "Oh, come on... it can't be that bad... But hey, at least you don't have to have someone kick your ass for about an hour and a half..."
Axel smiled slightly stopped. "Yeah, well, see you later. I have to go on my oh-so-fun mission now..."
Yuki nodded as Axel jumped backwards into a shadow portal with a grin, disappearing instantly. Yuk watched interestedly as the portal started to fade, the shadows disappearing into thin air. Yuki shrugged and continued down the hallway with a smile. "Show-off..."

Yuki had found the room that she had trained in wit Luxord the previous day, but found no Luxord. Instead, she found Xigbar shooting at more nobodies. She sighed and leaned against the wall as she watched. He's always doing this target practice... No wonder he's so strong. Yuki blinked as Xigbar once again disappeared from his spot in the corner of the room and appeared up in the booth. Yuki blinked as he used his gun like a sniper rifle. She smiled as he wore a happy expression when a rather large nobody fell, fading into darkness.
"Awesome..."
Xigbar glanced down at Yuki, who watched the nobodies intently as he shot them down. Grinning, Xigbar disappeared and reappeared in the center of the ring of four dragon-like nobodies. He took his guns and spun around, shooting in random directions. He then appeared outside the ring of nobodies and shot in lines, moving quickly to eliminate them all. As the last nobody disappeared, he glanced over at Yuki, who was smiling at his work. Xigbar let his weapons fade and made his way towards Yuki.
"When did you get here?"
Yuki shrugged and put her hands behind her back. "Around five minutes ago... How'd you get rid of those things so quickly?"
Xigbar smiled and tapped his temple. "After a lot of training, it's easy to overpower them."
Yuki nodded and glanced over to the spot where the nobodies once stood. "What exactly were they? I've seen so many different kinds of nobodies..."
Xigbar crossed his arms and looked upwards. "Those were Dragoons; they're high ranking nobodies. Of course, they aren't anywhere near as tough as the organization."
Yuki smiled and laughed slightly, thinking about the organization and what Axel had told her the previous night. "What exactly were you doing here so early? I mean, I know you were training but... how can someone so strong get any stronger from doing this every day?"
Xigbar grinned and put his hand in the pockets of his cloak. "Are you trying to suck up to me or something? Heh, well, it raises stamina for one thing. Each day I add a little more that I force myself to do. Why are you so curious?"
Yuki shrugged, blinking at Xigbar's expression. "I dunno, just admiring hard work I guess. Well, do you know when Luxord is coming?"
Xigbar turned and started to walk out of the room. "You're out of luck today, kid. Luxord had to go on a mission with Axel. Something about gathering data on some heartless in a different world... Well, so long, kiddo."
Yuki watched as the older nobody left her in the large room. Sighing, Yuki walked to the center of the room, her footsteps echoing throughout the large space. Yuki then started to hum a tune that popped into her head. She couldn't quite place it, but she knew that she had heard it... Where though...? Yuki shrugged it off and continued to sing, finding it better than getting lost in the hallways.
"Everyone passes through. I don't keep them in mind either. It can't be helped.
You've been carrying that junk as if it's important..."
"That's a nice song..."
Yuki spun around to find, once again, Demyx standing before her with a smile. Yuki blinked and shrugged, crossing her arms. "Really? I guess... I don't really know what it is, but I remember it... strange, no?"
Demyx shook his head. "I think you're experiencing what we nobodies sometimes experience. Sometimes, we remember memories that our former selves used to have."
Yuki blinked and cocked her head to the side. "Really? That's strange..."
Demyx nodded and sat against the wall under the booth, closing his eyes and resting an arm on one knee. "Sing the rest of the song, it sounds nice."
Yuki blinked and shrugged, pacing in a circle as she tried to remember the rest of the lyrics.
"People saw you from a distance and thought you were strange. Even so you laughed and said to me "this is treasure."
While I'm gaining something big, I wonder if there's something I've lost. I don't understand. This place I've regained, I bet it's slightly different.
If you're there, I'm always laughing. If you're there, I'm always laughing. I'm crying. I'm living. If you're not there, there's nothing.
Was it myself? Was it the people? Or was it only a clock? The thing that seemed like it would break.
How much do the arms that continue to protect the junk hurt? What have they sacrificed? Even though you'll never be perfect, you shine in your imperfection.
The path you found isn't wide. The path you found isn't wide, it isn't narrow, and some how you alone have made it better for me.
Because you were there, I'm always laughing. Because you were there, I was always laughing. I was crying. I was living. If you're not there, there's nothing."
Yuki blinked and crossed her arms. "I think that's the whole song... Well, if it isn't, I doubt I'm going to remember any more."
Yuki looked over at Demyx, who for some reason had his Sitar out. Yuki blinked and walked over to Demyx. "Hmm? Why do you have that out?"
The musician looked up at Yuki and smiled through his bangs. "It's my turn now... C'mon, sit down."
Yuki nodded and sat down in front of Demyx and watched as he closed his eyes, strumming the instrument softly. Yuki's eyes widened as the notes were smooth and rich in tone, his fingers never missing a note. The thing that really got to her was the fact that Demyx was playing the song she had just sung. Of course, it sounded much better than her average, unrefined voice. Yuki smiled and closed her eyes as well, taking in the music that echoed around the room. Demyx opened his eyes and looked at Yuki while he played, a grin spreading across his face. Suddenly, Demyx strummed a chord loudly, making Yuki jump as he switched to a fast paced song in which the chord changes went quickly. Yuki laughed as Demyx finished with a high note, heavy song fading away into silence. Yuki smiled and clapped; Demyx bowing for his one-man audience. Demyx then let his weapon fade away and stood up. "Well, that was fun... what should we do now?"
Yuki shrugged. "I dunno... It's not like there's much to do around here."
Demyx nodded in agreement and grinned. "Wanna go pull some pranks?"
Yuki blinked, her face showing reluctance. "Are you planning on getting us killed that quickly?"
Demyx smiled and put his hands behind his head. "Oh, come on... I pull pranks all the time! I'm not dead yet!"
Yuki sighed and stood up as well. "The key word being 'yet'."
Demyx pouted and crossed his arms, standing between Yuki and the exit. "Aw, it's really fun! Especially this one time when I flooded the entire first floor... It was awesome because it took three days to get Axel to lower his guard around me. Hah, he's such a wimp when it comes to getting wet..."
Yuki blinked and crossed her arms. "Well, it would make sense. Fire and water... don't exactly mix well, ne?"
Demyx nodded. "Yeah- wait a second... you're avoiding the subject! Come on, let's pull pranks!"
Yuki was about to protest when Demyx shoved Yuki backwards into a shadow portal while jumping in straight after her.
--
Yuki found herself in what seemed to be someone's room. Yuki blinked and looked behind her at Demyx, who was grinning and looking around. "Alright, I'd guess we have about an hour to trap the place before Axel gets back..."
Yuki blinked and took a step back. "Whoa, won't he destroy us or something?!"
Demyx grinned and gave Yuki a thumbs up. "Don't worry, water can't be beaten by fire, right?"
Yuki blinked and shrugged as she watched Demyx walk over to Axel's desk. "And what do we have here...? It seems like Axel's been doing a bit of his own separate recon. Come look."
Yuki walked up to the desk and found what Demyx had been looking at. On Axel's desk were a few scattered papers that held different topics. Yuki's eyes widened as she saw the names Roxas, Yuki, and Sora on the papers. Yuki blinked and picked one up, turning towards Demyx.
"Who's Sora?"
Demyx blinked and turned his head, keeping himself from facing Yuki. "That's something that I'm not aloud to discuss. Now, where were we... Oh yeah! Heh, Axel's gonna be P.O'd!"
Yuki watched as Demyx backed up, his eyes scanning the ceiling above. He would sometimes nod to himself as he observed the room. He then turned towards Yuki with a smile.
"Hey, find something long that is barely noticeable against the carpet."
Yuki nodded and looked around the room. There was Axel's bed, a closet, a bookshelf, but nothing that she found suitable for Demyx's task. Yuki walked over to the closet and opened it, finding several black cloaks. She laughed to herself as she observed them.
"Just how skinny is he? I mean, I bet I'm not even that skinny... is he a pole?"
Demyx blinked and walked over to the closet. Grinning, he pulled one off of a hanger. "Hey, try one on. We'll see if you're as skinny as him."
Yuki blinked and wore a nervous expression. "Dude, I can't just wear someone else's clothes! It's strange..."
Demyx rolled his eyes and handed the cloak to Yuki. "Oh come on, it's just a jacket. It's not like he doesn't wear other clothes under it."
Yuki sighed but started to put the jacket on none-the-less. "That's besides the point... Hey, what do you know, it fits... Except he's much taller..."
Yuki had put on the cloak, but the sleeves reached past her hands and the hem dragged across the floor. Demyx smiled and waved his finger at her. "No, we don't actually know that until you zip it up."
Yuki rolled her eyes and tried zipping the jacket. She was surprised when it actually went all the way up. Demyx grinned and poked her in the stomach. "Wadd'ya know, you actually are as skinny as that guy. Huh... well, maybe we could pull a different prank..."
Yuki blinked and cocked her head to the side. "What are you mumbling about?"
Demyx smiled and started taking the hanger that the cloak had been on. "Hmm... come here for a sec."
Yuki blinked and walked over to Demyx, stiffening as Demyx shoved a hanger into the jacket so that the hanger was sticking out of the back. Demyx grinned mischievously as he looked at Yuki. "Good. Now, up you go!"
Yuki's eyes widened as Demyx started to pick her up. "Wha?! Demyx, put me down!"
Demyx flinched as Yuki hit him on the head. " Watch the hair! Oh, come on, I'll be in there with you. Don't worry; it'll be fine. I have it all figured out."
Demyx the placed the hanger in the jacket on the pole and smiled. "There! Now, when Axel opens the door, you yell at him, he'll be startled, and I use a shadow portal to bring us back to safety. Got it?"
Yuki gave Demyx a flat look as he grinned and got behind the row of jackets. Yuki looked to her side at Demyx and pointed at the door. "You forgot to shut the door, smart one."
Demyx rolled his eyes and leaned in front of Yuki to shut the door. Once the door was shut, the closet went pitch black. Blinking, Yuki looked around to see if she could find any source of light. "Demyx, do these closets usually have any lights?"
"I don't think so... nope. Why, afraid of the dark?"
"Demyx, how could the Heir to the Darkness be afraid of the dark?"
"Hey, it would be a cool oxymoron."
"You're the moron... Ugh, this feels funny."
"What?"
"The hanger... it makes it hurt a little, being suspended like this. It would be better if I could stand. That way, the hanger isn't the thing keeping me up here."
"Oh, I can fix that."
Yuki blinked and felt her face heat up when she felt arms wrap around her waist, Demyx's breath in her ear. Demyx was lifting her slightly to keep the hanger from pulling her off of the ground.
"U-uh, won't you get tired of holding me up like that?"
Demyx laughed, resting his head on her shoulder. "Nah, I've done worse things. Besides, you're about the same weight as my Sitar. How much do you weigh, 118?"
Yuki blinked and furrowed her eyebrows. "Y'know, that isn't exactly information I like to give out to random guys."
"Oh, but I'm not a random guy."
Yuki sighed and looked upwards into the pitch-blackness. "Whatever... Hey, how long do you think it will take until Axel comes back?"
"Hmm... I dunno... half an hour? And we don't even know if he'll open up the closet..."
"What?! That means we could be in here for more than an hour!"
Demyx sighed, his breath tickling Yuki's neck. "I don't mind; I mean, it's not like this is torture."
Yuki rolled her eyes even though she knew Demyx couldn't see. "Well, I'm glad you're fine. You're not the one suspended in mid air!"
Yuki felt Demyx shift slightly, getting a better grip around her waist. "Be happy I didn't just leave you in here alone. I could have left you to be roasted by Axel."
Yuki sighed, looking out into nothing. "So, what should we do to pass the time?"
Yuki heard nothing for a moment until Demyx piped up. "Did you knew that Xemnas' name is the anagram for Mansex?"
Yuki laughed, the whole idea of someone's name being ridiculed... it was priceless. "That's awful... when do you find the time to think these things up?"
"Times like this when I'm having fun."
Yuki thought for a minute, trying to add on to the list of funny names. "Hmm... Xigbar is Bigrax."
This time Demyx chuckled and once again shifted Yuki's weight. "Hah, didn't think of that one... Lessee... um... Axel's name can be rearranged to fit into laxative."
Yuki shook her head while smiling. "Well, he's always on the move."
Both of the bored teens laughed at their crude jokes. Yuki sighed once again and leaned her head on top of Demyx's. "I'm gonna use you as a headrest, feel honored."
Yuki felt Demyx's head move slightly as he talked. "Oh, yes, I bask in your glory."
Yuki froze for a moment when she heard the door to the room being opened. She didn't dare say anything but felt Demyx unwrap his arms, showing her that he knew. Yuki gulped and watched the door to the closet. For a while there was silence, but Yuki's heart pounded as she heard the door to the closet being opened. Axel's eyes were closed as the light filtered into the closet. When he opened his eyes, he didn't expect to see Yuki in one of his cloaks. Yuki blinked and felt a blush coming on, for Axel only had his pants on. Yuki yelled, as did Axel. Axel shut the door and Yuki felt Demyx bringing her through a shadow portal.
--
Yuki then found herself back in her room with Demyx, who was currently laughing hysterically.
"Hah, did you see his face?! That was sweet..."
Yuki shook her head to get a hold of herself and smiled. "Ah, yeah... hilarious... Let's just hope he doesn't come after us..." Yuki sighed inwardly and felt her blush returning. Damn, no wonder these people are nobodies; they're too hot to be human.

Okedokes! The next installment of Remember Me! Okay, like I said before the story, that song belongs to Ayumi, although, that was just the English translation. Anywhose, please review and vote for who you want Yuki to be paired with! Keep in mind that I might pick if I make up my mind, but for now... you get to chose either Sora/RoxasxOC, DemyxOC, AxelxOC, etc. Heck, pick Xiggy for all I care! Thank you for reading my story.
