Chapter six
When I awake the next morning, I hear soft knocking at the door.
Getting up to answer the door, I stretch, forcing the stiffness from my overly rested muscles and bones.
As I put my hand on the doorknob, I hear two different voices arguing/talking civilly.
One I immediately identify as Axel's and the other's owner escapes me till I finally open the door.
The nano-second the barrier of wood is removed, petite arms wrap around my waist in a surprisingly strong bear hug.
I stand there shocked a minute before wrapping my warms around Namine, currently trying to cut me in half with her arms.
I wince as she squeezes harder and catches my still healing bruises.
Axel notices my wince and clears his throat, following it with a quick "Nam, off."
She reluctantly lets go and takes a step back to get a better look at me.
"Are you okay, Demy? I heard what happened but I didn't think you'd be this bad."
Ah, Namine
Ignoring Nam's death glare, he turns and addresses me.
"Now Demyx, get dressed. We have to go to the meeting."
When Axel and Namine left, I changed into a plain, extremely baggy, black shirt and a pair of dark blue, cut-off jeans that were fraying where they ended right above my knees.
I threw my cloak on over my outfit because Mansex made it mandatory for us to, at the very least, wear the cloak to meetings.
This came about after Xigbar came to a meeting wearing nothing but his boxers.
Man, that was not a pretty sight.
After adjusting my cloak, I opened the door and joined Axel and Namine in the hall.
We began the long and tiring walk from my new room to the back room of the library.
We walked the whole way in silence until we reached the door to the back room.
It was then that Namine spoke up.
She turned to me first.
"Are you ready, Dem?"
her normally sweet voice had hidden nuances of caring, concern and barely noticeable worry.
I nodded, a simple smile spreading lightly on my face.
Then she spun around and addressed Axel.
"You first, we'll be right behind."
He nodded, opening the double doors and walking ahead, only looking back to make sure we were there.
Once we entered the brightly lit space, I noticed that twelve chairs, instead of the usual eleven, were arranged in a circle already filled by Mansex, Mystery, and the others.
Taking the only empty seat, I sat quietly with Namine standing next to me.
Once we were all present, Mansex started the meeting.
"As you all know, one month ago IX was attacked in his room in the early morning. I will be looking into this personally but I am very interested in hearing what any of you may know. If you have anything to say, speak now or tell Xigbar, Xaldin, or myself later but if you do have anything important, the sooner it is known, the better. You will not be punished for knowing anything unless you are the perpetrator. Now, since some of you look clueless as to what I'm talking about, I'll ask Demyx if he would recount his tale again, unless of course if it causes too much pain." He ended his little speech with a very demented attempt at a caring smile.
If I had said earlier that Mansex was on my like list, he is no longer.
Instead of telling him to go fuck off and have fun with his fuck buddy while he was at it, I put on a light, happy smile and said "okay, it's no trouble."
Anyway, two reviews=new chapter. I'm working on part two of this chapter and it is going well. That's all for tonight. I clock out at 11:37 pm listening to Don't Jump and Rescue Me.
