END OF A/N!
Demyx P.O.V
Yeah, as you know, when last heard our fucked up story, I was taking Ki to get settled. I opened my bedroom door, which lead to a surprisingly neat room. I walked in, and ran a hand through my mullet, and sighed. "Okay, hmm, sleeping mat...", I said to myself, looking around the room. Ki stayed where she was at the doorway. "Well, come in, no need to be shy!", I said. Ki brightened up a little, and slowly walked in.
"So, you're name's Ki huh?", I asked, starting conversation while I opened his closet. "Well, my real name is Kiki, but Ki is fine", she said politely. 'Hm, doesn't talk without manners, cool', I thought, rummaging through my closet. I finally found a small light blue sleeping bag, and handed it to her. "Thank you, Master", she said, bowing and taking the sleeping back. "Demyx", I said. "Hm?", she asked softly.
"Call me Demyx", I said, more clearly. She nodded, and said,"Thank you, Demyx". I grinned, and said,"Much better, you tired?". She nodded. "You can sleep over there next to the heater, I like it pretty cold in here so", I said, pointing to the space between my bed and the wall. She nodded, and as she sat the mat up, I asked,"So, what do you expertize at?". "I'm a Unique, I'm a Mage", she explained.
"Crow is a Warlock, so I contrasted with his powers", she continued as she slipped into the warmth of the sleeping bag. "Night kid", I said, turning off the light and closing the door. I walked downstairs to find Sora and Roxas at the door. "Hey guys", I said casually. "This better be good, I was sleeping!", Roxas whined. "Come to the Living Room, and you'll see its important", Zexion called from said area.
We walked up the stairs into the Living Room, and there was Kylie, passed out cold on the floor in a sleeping bag. "What the fuck?", Roxas started, walking over to Kylie. "She's a "rare" servant, she passed out when she broke Ki's contract with her brother", Zexion explained. "She broke a contract?", Roxas asked, looking unconvinced.
"Yes, Ki is in Demyx's care", Zexion said, staring hard at him. "Well, what do you need us for?", Sora asked, scratching the back of his head. "She damaged her heart when she broke Ki's contract, since you guys are Heart Guardians, we thought you could help a little", Zexion replied. Sora knelt down beside Kylie, and grabbed her hand gently. "Her heart is fine as far as I can see", Sora started. "We might have to open her Memory Chain to find the problem though", he said, standing up. "Open away", Luxord said, who was sitting at the table, playing with his deck of cards.
"Roxas, let's get this over with, something tells me Kairi's got Namine huddled in a corner again", Sora said. They stood on either side of Kylie, and they outstretched their hands to their sides. In their hands were two over-sized keys, one for each hand. Roxas had a white one with what looked like a star, and another that was black with a purple jewel on it. Sora had a plain silver one with a gold hilt, and a plain gold one with a silver hilt. "I'm seeing four locks Roxas, we'll need to use both of our keyblades", Sora said.
They crossed their keyblades upwards, and two white and gold lights formed in between the crosses, Roxas was silver, Sora was gold. They then moved the orbs of light together, and it turned into a regular crystalized key. Kylie's body pulsed, and a giant lock in the form of a butterfly appeared in front of Sora. He put the key in, and unlocked the lock. The room swarmed with color, I mean practically EVERY color of the rainbow!
The lights subsided, and a small rainbow orb floated a little ways above Kylie's body. "What's that?", I asked, walking over to get a better look. "It's her Memory Chain, it holds all her memories and feelings", Roxas explained. "Would it tell us what's wrong with her voice?", Zexion asked. "What's wrong with her voice?", Sora asked. "She can't speak unless she's put under stress", I said. "Hm, maybe", Sora said in deep thought.
He gently touched the orb, and a bunch of rectangles filled the room. Then, it was like we were watching a bunch of movies, because we then saw what seemed like first-person footage. "Those are her memories", Sora explained. Then, little balls of light that were in a variety of colors started floating around. "Those are her emotions", Roxas said. Some of the images started to blur, fuzz even, turning to static. "What's going on?", Axel asked, who I just realized was in the corner.
"Her memories, their slowly fading", Sora said, clearly looking puzzled. Soon, almost all the images turned to static except for today's, and one other image. A giant neon red butterfly. "What's that?", I asked, pointing to said image. Sora turned and looked at it, and said,"That's the symbol of the Butterfly Guardian, one of the first rares to be recorded, only woman of the Monarch heritage can acquire it". "That's funny, Kylie has a rainbow one", I said out loud.
"Rainbow?", Roxas asked, raising a eyebrow. "Yeah", Xigbar said, now currently walking on the ceiling. Yes, the ceiling. "It's on her stomach, it's rainbow", he said, pointing to her. "Interesting, ah, here we are", Roxas said. A small heart-shaped light appeared. "Hmm, her heart is only slightly damaged, it'll be easy to repair", Roxas continued. He tapped the light with his white keyblade, and it turned into crystal. It had a slight crack in it.
Sora then pointed his silver keyblade at the heart, and a white beam shot at it. The crack healed, and the light disappeared. "Now, as for her voice", Sora started. A small white lock appeared. "She locked it away purposely". "Why?", I asked. "No idea", Sora replied. Both Roxas and Sora pointed both their keyblades, and lights shot through the lock, and it shattered. The room returned to normal, and Sora said,"That should do it". He and Roxas then said good-bye, and left.
We then turned our attention to Kylie, who began to stir. She slowly opened her eyes, and looked around. "What happened?". "You talked Kylie!", I exclaimed. She put her hand to her mouth, and said,"Hm, it unlocked". For a 17, 18 year-old, Kylie's voice was very mature, but she didn't sound too old. "How is Ki?", she asked, looking for the small Navy Blue-haired girl. "She's sleeping in my room", I answered, pointing to the stairs. "That's good...", she said, trailing off. Kylie seemed to looked a little pale. "You alright?", I asked. "Y-yes, just a little tired", she said, standing up. She straightened herself out, and asked,"Is there anything I must take care of?". "You could help Luxord with dinner, it's just about done", Zexion suggested.
Kylie nodded, and turned to walk to the kitchen. She almost fell over, but I grabbed her arm. "You sure your alright?", I pressed. "Yes, I'm just a little, that's all", she said, giving me a assuring smile. I slowly let her go, and she walked to the kitchen, staggering slightly a few times. "I think she was feeding us bullshit", Axel said, walking over to the table. Zexion nodded in a agreement, and said,"Her movements were almost strained". Just then, there was a giant crash in the kitchen.
We rushed over to see what happened, and we saw a couple pans and pots scattered on the floor, and Kylie holding onto the counter for dear life. Zexion walked over to Kylie, and felt her forehead. "You're sick, and you knew", he said. "I'm not sick", she said stubbornly. I walked over and felt her forehead as well, and said,"Really?, 'cause you're burning up". She let go of the counter, took a deep breath, and said,"Really, I'm fine, but thank you...". "Demyx", I said. "Thank you for asking, Demyx", she said, saying my name with hesitance.
She then knelt to the floor, and began to pick up the pans and pots. "If you're sick you should rest", Zexion pressed. "You should take your own advice", Xigbar said, smirking. Zexion glared at him. "I do not intend to sound defiant, but I am perfectly fine", Kylie said, standing up with the discarded kitchenware. "You don't know our names, do you?", Axel chuckled. "Being a servant, I am not required to", she replied. "Yeah well, since you're living here now, consider yourself not a servant", Xigbar said. "Okay, you I'm Demyx, the short one is Zexion, Xigbar's the one with the eye patch, Luxord's the one with the cards, and the red-head's Axel", I said, pointing to each of the guys.
Kylie nodded, and put the metal in her hands on the counter. She then stood there, completely spacing out, her eyes dimming. "Hey, Kylie, you alright?", Axel asked, waving a hand in front of her face. She then collapsed. "Is it just me, or does she have a thing for passing out?", I asked, catching her by her arms. "Xigbar, get the thermometer", Zexion commanded. Xigbar disappeared, then reappeared shortly after. Zexion, with my help, got Kylie to the Living Room, and back on the sleeping bag.
He put the thermometer in her mouth, and after a minute, took it out. He stared at it hard for a minute, then said,"Demyx, get me a cold washcloth, now". I dashed to the bathroom, found a wash cloth, snapped my fingers, and water from the air filled the cloth. I hurried back in, and put it on Kylie's forehead. "Something tells me she's got more than just a voice problem", I said, standing back up. "Maybe Ki would know something, Demyx, go get her", Zexion said, not looking up. I went upstairs, and opened my door.
Ki was sleeping silently, curled in a little ball next to the heater. I walked over, knelt down, and gently shook her. For a 17 year-old, she was tiny. She yawned, and sat up, opening her eyes. "Yes, Demyx?", she asked politely. I told about what happened to Kylie, and she nodded, and walked downstairs. Zexion now had a new wash cloth on Kylie's forehead. "Servants like rares, are very strong, but have very weak immune systems", Ki explained. She looked around, and asked,"Do you have a candle?".
"Er, yeah, be right back", Zexion said, walking into the kitchen. Ki opened a small pouch on her waist , and pulled out a small purple stone. "What are you doing?", Zexion asked, walking back in with the candle. Ki took the candle, and said,"As I told Demyx, I'm a Unique servant, I have more than one expertize, I am a Mage, and a Healer, now, let's see here", she said, trailing off while rummaging through her pouch. She then pulled out a small flask. "Does anyone have a match?", she asked. Axel snapped his fingers, and a flame lit on the candle. Ki nodded in thanks, and put the candle down.
She put the stone down in front of her, and put her hands together, and closed her eyes as if she were praying. The stone slowly started to glow. When it was bright, Ki then put the stone between her hands, and when dropped into the candle. It turned into dust when she dropped it. The flame turned purple, and grew fairly large for a minute. The fire then crystalized, and Ki picked it off. She then put in in the flask, and shook it up. "You crystalized the flame...with a rock?", Axel asked, raising a eyebrow. "The stone has a special her in it that cures sickness with building the immune system", Ki explained, opening the flask again.
She then ushered me over, and asked,"Can you get her to sit up?". I nodded, and gently pushed Kylie's back so she was sitting up slightly. Ki then whispered,"Miss Kylie, you need to drink this, okay?". Kylie groaned softly, and opened her mouth a little. Ki then put a few drop of the violet drink in Kylie's mouth. Kylie swallowed, and said hoarsely,"That tastes like shit". Ki smiled and said,"Be happy I had it on hand, if I didn't your temperature would've kept getting higher, and you would've died of Pneumonia". "That's reassuring", Kylie said, her voice a little scratchy.
"Dude, we're gonna need something like a instruction manual!", I groaned. Kylie looked at me with a very blunt look, and said,"I can take care of myself". Axel snorted, and laughed,"I could say otherwise, with how weak your immune system seems to be, it's a wonder how managed to stay alive before Deyx found you". She glared at him the best she could, and coughed really hard. "Damn", she breathed as she finished her coughing fit. Ki felt her forehead, and said,"You probably just have throat irritation, your fever's gone".
"That's good", Kylie said hoarsely. "I never realized you servants are so hard to take care of", Zexion said out loud. Ki gave him a hard look, and then turned back to Kylie, and asked,"Are you alright, Miss Kylie?". Kylie nodded slightly, and sat up by pushing off my arms. She hissed in pain, probably from a monster headache. She took a deep breath, and said,"Okay, concentrate...". She closed her eyes, and her muscles relaxed. Her green Monarch wings soon began to appear again. They flapped at lightning speed for a good few seconds, and a green sparkle of sorts fell from the wings. They disappeared, and all sparkles bundled together.
She then handed Ki the dust, and said,"Put this in some sweet tea for me". Ki nodded, and rushed away. "What the hell is with girls and sparkles?", Xigbar sighed, plopping on the couch. "For your information, those weren't sparkles, they were tiny healing crystals specifically for my kind, I use them to heal, that's why I lasted so long before Demyx found me", she explained, scowling at Xigbar. "So, you could've healed yourself instead of Ki using that crystal remedy?", Zexion asked. "No, I have to be awake to use it, and since I was out cold, I wouldn't have been to use the crystals", she replied.
Ki came back with some tea, and Kylie said thank as she took it. Kylie glowed green, and took a deep breath. The glow subsided, and she put the tea on a coffee table. She then stood up, and stretched. "Much better", she sighed. "I'm starting to think you're an alien", Axel chuckled. She raised her eyebrow at him. "You glow almost every color of the damn rainbow, primarily green, and what color are aliens?, green", he explained. She scoffed, and said,"If I'm a alien, you're a pixie".
"Well played", Axel said after a minute. "Naturally", she said. "You're a lot different than other servants", Zexion interrupted. "How so?", Kylie asked, turning to the small book worm. "In the books, it says that when a servant is assigned to a contract, they must show their up-most respect, you on the other hand, are relaxed, calm, not afraid to speak your mind", he explained. "That's because, I'm a little,"different", as it were". "Explain, oh great alien one", Axel said sarcastically. Kylie looked at him, and snapped her fingers. He felt a painful surge shoot through him. "What the fuck was that?", he almost shouted. "Lightning", she said.
"I don't need a book to do my spells, thus, if I wished, I could break my contract myself, and be free", she continued. "Then why don't you?", I asked, furrowing my eyebrows in confusion. "Not sure, I just feel that I shouldn't break my contract just yet", she said, shrugging. She yawned, and asked,"What time is it?". Zexion looked at his watch, and said,"11:24". She nodded, and said,"If you wouldn't mind, I'd like to get some rest". Zexion nodded, and began to think of a good sleeping arrangement.
"Ki, would you and Kylie go to the kitchen and finish dinner, I have to take care of something", Zexion said. They nodded, and walked to the kitchen. "What's up?", I asked. Zexion grimaced, and said,"Sleeping arrangement". "Well, I can't take her, Ki's already in my room", I said, frowning. Zexion looked at Xigbar and Luxord, and said,"No". They slumped slightly in disappointment. We then all looked to the pyro in the far corner of the room. "What?", he asked, blinking.
"I don't have any room in my room, Xigbar and Luxord are a definite no, and Demyx has Ki", Zexion said, crossing his arms. "Uh, no, I'm not having a girl in my room", Axel said, crossing his arms. "C'mon Axel, she saved our ass a couple hours ago, the least you can do is give her some room to sleep", I said, frowning some more. "Sorry guys, but I don't want her in my room", he sighed.
"What's so wrong with her in your room?", Luxord asked, still shuffling his deck of cards. "Well, it's just, well, she's a servant", he said, whispering the last part. I scoffed. "And so is Ki, but do you see me complaining about it? No", I said countered. "Yeah, but you can't treat them like they're free women, because they're not", he said. "Ki chose to work here, so did Kylie, the least you can do is show some appreciation". "No, Ki decided to work here because of Kylie, and Kylie's here because of you, we don't need them!", Axel shouted.
You could hear a pan fall, and shuffling in the Kitchen. I turned, and there was Kylie, staring at us, hurt. "Kylie", Axel said, regretting his words. She looked at him, and he was flung into the wall. Kylie then turned, and ran downstairs to the door. "Damnit, we have to stop her, if the guard finds her, she'll be put back on the market!", Zexion hissed, running after her.
Xigbar looked at Axel in a disapproving way, and ran after them. Luxord sighed, and left as well. I looked at Axel, and said,"She may be a servant, but she's human, just like us", and ran after them, Ki right behind me.
