Hi guys, I've finally got the next chapter up! Go me! xD Well, Tori gets to meet Demyx and Xemnas now. That's good. I can tell you that the next chapter will be a little more action packed than this one. It's so exciting! (I just need to write it first...)
Another part of the small description of my OC: currently she is wearing her school uniform which consistes of a light blue v- neck vest with a black tie and white 3 quarter sleeve blouse with a black skirt and black mary jane shoes with white socks. Happy Bithday. xD
Discalimer: Sadly I do not own Kingdom Hearts. If I did..well...let's just say that Kairi had a small accident'.
"Ugg, don't tell me I passed out again.." Tori muttered silently. Her body was pressed against a cold, hard marble floor, stiff from sleeping in the same position. Slowly, she sat up, glancing around before letting her eyes rest back at what looked liked a back wall. From the looks of it, she was in a prison cell.
Cell? As in the cell Kairi was in when Saix captured her? Oh no he did not...
Immediately Tori jumped up and turned around to the front of the cage where the bars were located. Running up to them, she gripped the bars and peered out from behind them, eyes darting back and forth, finally resting on a hooded figure whose back was to her.
Taking in deep breath, she yelled out to him. "Elf Man, if that's you, when I get out of here, I'm going to hurt you! I can take care of myself! And remember, I came along willingly! I'm not going to try and run away like Kairi! Don't even think of comparing me to that-..." She stopped when the man turned around, pulling down his hood. "Who's 'Elf Man'?" he asked. Tori froze. A mullet and green eyes came to view. It couldn't...could it? He's really..alive?
"Demyx..?" her voice softened, barley above a whisper. Tori could feel her eyes beginning to water. He really was alive! "Hey, you know my name!" A smile tugged across his adorable face. "So Saix was ri..." he paused when the girl began sniffling. "Um, are you ok?" he asked her, frowning slightly. That's when Tori couldn't take it. Bowing her head, tears slowly streamed down her face. Demyx was taken aback. Did he make her cry somehow? "Uh, hey, please don't cry," he called out to her. "Please don't be sad!" Tori could only shake her head.
"I'm not crying cause I'm sad," she choked out. "I'm crying cause I'm happy." Now the boy was confused. Crying because she was happy? Bringing his hand to his chin, he began to ponder this. Maybe going without a heart for so long could do that to a guy, making him wonder why a girl would start crying. But he did remember how to comfort one. Opening a dark portal, he teleported himself inside the cage, right behind the sobbing girl. Placing a hand on her head, he said in a comforting voice, "It's ok. Please, don't cry." Tori flinched when he first made contact with her, almost a little afraid." But when she turned around to face him, she couldn't help but fling herself into his arms when she saw him smile.
Demyx wasn't sure now how to react to this. He had never made physical contact like this since he became a Nobody. So he continued to pat her head. A few moments later, Tori pulled away from the older boy, taking a couple of steps away from him. Taking a deep breath, sweeping a hand across her eyes, she regained her composer. Lifting her head high, she smiled at him. "I'm sorry for doing that. I didn't mean to just start crying," She giggled nervously. "Like I said before, I was really happy." Demyx stared at her. "You cry when your happy?" "Oh no!" She exclaimed. "I only started crying because I was so happy to see that you were alive. I wasn't exactly sure if Saix was right or not when he said that the Nobodies were alive, but when I saw you, I knew he was."
"You mean," Demyx started, "that you were happy..to see me?" He was very surprised at this statement. No one was ever glad to see him. He was just a nuisance; that guy who believed that he had a heart and emotions; the one who didn't like to fight, just sit around and play his sitar. Tori nodded her head. "Of course silly, I love you!" Now Demyx almost fell over when he heard that. Someone loved him?! He felt his head begin to spin from confusion.
Tori then realized what she had said and began to try and explain herself. "No, Demyx, not that kind of love!" She cried out. "I mean like, um, brother-sister, friend kind of love." Demyx just cocked his head to the left and blinked. This girl wasn't making a lot of sense... "Um, just forget I said anything," she mumbled, waving her hand half-heartedly to the side. The teen shook his head and decided to drop the subject. "Your name's Tori right?" he asked her. "Yup, that it is," she said grinning at him. He couldn't help bet smile back. This girl had a soothing aura around her that made him feel happy. Maybe Saix was right about what he said...
"And obviously, your Demyx."
He smirked. "You got it. Anyway, Saix said that once you woke up, I was to take you to the Superior, so lets go." Tori nodded. "Alrighty." Making the cell bars disappear, Demyx jumped down to the floor below. He offered his hand to Tori who took it calmly, thanking him while doing so. Side by side, they began to make their way down the long pathway that led deeper into the castle.
.::o::.::o::.::o::.::o::.::o::.
"Hey Demyx?"
"Yeah?"
"Why are we walking? I mean, couldn't we use a darkness portal or something?"
Demyx felt himself cringe when she brought it up. "Um well, Saix said not to, or else we would break my sitar." Tori gave a look of disbelief. "He would brake your sitar?" she asked. "Yes," he answered her in a small voice. Tori blinked and shook her head. "Ok ok, walking is fine."
They continued on in silence until they reached the Proof of Existence. That's when Tori lost it."Wow!" she exclaimed, "Yes, yes! It's brilliant! Oh my gosh!" Demyx had to grab hold of her so when she was prancing about, she wouldn't 'accidentally' go through one of the portals. "Come on," he pleaded with her, "You can see the others later, but we need to see Xemnas now!"
Tori blew out a puff of air. "But..."she began to protest with him. Demyx only shook his head. "Don't worry," he told her, "you will get to meet all of the members, I promise. Just not now." Tori opened her mouth to protest again, but when she saw his look of pleading, she snapped it shut and silently followed him up the stairs that led to the Superior's quarters.
.::o::.::o::.::o::.::o::.::o::.
Xemnas sat behind his desk, hand on chin. Saix stood next to him in utter obedient silence. The blue haired man had come in earlier explaining that the angel had come with him without need of force and was know fast asleep in the dungeon cell. Xemnas could only smirk. Everything was going to plan.
Footsteps could now be heard, along with the muffled sound of voices. The large door to the office opened slightly as Demyx poked his head through, announcing his arrival. Slowly he crept inside with Tori hiding shyly behind his back. The boy saluted and brought himself to attention. "Superior," he announced, "I have brought the angel to you." Xemnas' smirk widened as he stood up. "Very good," he told him, "You are dismissed."
Demyx bowed slightly then turned to Tori, giving her shoulder a squeeze. "Good luck," was all he said as he scurried away to who knows where. She watched him leave in horror. 'Oh no..he left me here, with them!' She turned slighly so that she was now completely facing the other nobodies. "Hi," she called out quietly while waving slightly.
Gracefully, Xemnas walked around his desk and toward Tori. "Welcome my angel," he started, bowing, "to The Castle That Never Was."
