Chapter Ten: Curiosity Broke the Heart

Zexion was the first to leave the pool, only staying in there for three minutes. If he had ever felt uncomfortable before, skinny dipping in the school's pool beat it by a very long shot. He quickly swam to the edge and dried himself off with a towel, then got back into his clothes. Demyx asked why he was leaving so soon and Zexion said he had to return some library books. Roxas and even Sora didn't believe him, but didn't voice it, allowing him to quietly escape.

"Well, see you later, Zexy! Be careful!" Demyx shouted from the pool. Zexion just gave a grunt and swiftly left the pool area, leaving only Demyx, Roxas and Sora.

Even though only three were left, they just continued what they were doing. Roxas just floating in the deep end of the pool while Sora and Demyx were having a splashing fight. They had asked Roxas if he wanted to join in, but he didn't want to get too close.

"You know," Sora said as he sent a wave of water at Demyx, "it's Axel's turn to prank us back."

Sending a few splashes back, Demyx asked, "So?"

Now, Roxas might have been away from his two (naked) friends, but he could still hear them. The young blonde was bored and had nothing else better to do then to tease his friends. Seeing his chance, Roxas swam away from the edge and toward Demyx.

"Well, if it's their turn to prank us and Zexion is all alone, he'd be a sitting duck." Roxas said casually, though, with a slight smirk.

Demyx stopped the splashing and turned to Roxas, smiling confidently. "Zexion can take care of himself!"

"But for Zexion to face all three of those guys by himself, you think he could stand up to them?" Roxas questioned.

The senior stared at the water, thinking. If Zexion was all alone and he ran into all three of them... Axel with his fire wielding, Marluxia with his fruity, but annoyingly strong flowers, and Riku with his keyblade...

"Oh my god!" exclaimed Demyx. He jumped out of the pool and raced to the door, screaming, "I'LL SAVE YOU, ZEXY!"

Sora watched in confusion as Demyx ran out of the pool. Roxas, on the other hand, was laughing and feeling as if he accomplished something.

"Um, Roxas?" Sora asked.

"Yeah?"

"Demyx..." Sora paused for a moment.

"Yeah?"

"He forgot his clothes..."

"I know, Sora. I know." Roxas said with a smirk. Ah, today was starting off pretty well.

---------------------------------------

"... What. The. Hell." Riku muttered as he and Axel stopped dead in their tracks. They were aimlessly wandering the school and talking about random topics, both being too lazy to fetch Marluxia. Axel had just made a good point on how boxers are better then briefs, but got distracted when a certain friend of theirs were streaking.

And it wasn't Marluxia.

As Riku just stared at the floor, shaking the horrid image in his head, Axel was trying to decide if this was a blessing or a punishment. The blessing part being that this was the ultimate black mail ever. The punishment part was that, well, he saw a bit too much then he wanted to.

"It's official." Riku said, looking up at his red haired friend. "Our school is-"

"Weird, off beat, different?" Axel filled in, interrupting Riku.

"No. An asylum in disguise."

---------------------------------------

Demyx, knowing damn well he was giving everyone he passed the best view of his goods, kept running and trying to catch up to Zexion. His brain was chanting, 'OhsnapZexy'sgonnabebeatenupbythem! Gottasavehim, gottasavehim!' in a never-ending loop. The senior kept running toward his destination, the library, until he was pulled aside forcefully.

"What in the HELL are you doing, kid!"

He looked up and gasp.

"M-Mr. Xigbar!" Demyx shouted, surprised.

"Why the hell are you butt naked!" Mr. Xigbar yelled again. Even though he only had one visible eye, the other being covered by an eye patch due to a stupid past student, anyone could tell he was angry and slightly freaked out. It wasn't everyday you had a student running around in the nude.

"Uh, well, you see..." Demyx tried to explain, but the words didn't want to come out. At least, not in an intelligible way.

"You're comin' with me, kid. Once we get you decent, you are going straight to the Dean and then you're gonna explain to him why you are showing everybody your...your..."

"Penis?" Demyx finished for him. Mr. Xigbar just got even more uncomfortable, he was the gun master, not the sex education teacher.

Demyx was dragged down to the nurse's office for extra clothes by an embarrassed Mr. Xigbar. The blonde senior quietly cursed himself, Zexion was probably getting jumped by them this very moment and he couldn't do anything about it.

---------------------------------------

Sora and Roxas got out of the pool and dressed themselves, agreeing that they should stop Demyx from flashing too many people. Sora was a little mad at Roxas for purposely doing that, but had to admit it was amusing. The two freshmen walked out of the pool room and followed the trail of water that belonged to Demyx. The trail went pretty far, making various twists and turns down hallways.

"Where was he heading?" asked Sora as they kept following the water.

"Probably the library, y'know, where Zexion was." Roxas answered.

"Oh, that makes sense." said Sora.

The two continued to walk in silence until they heard a couple of giggles, and they giggles sounded... female. Sora and Roxas exchanged glances and silently agreed on investigating the giggles, putting off the Demyx hunt. They walked down the hallway they were currently in, the giggles started to get louder.

"Whee! We're going to see Squally! We're going to see Squally!" said a cheerful voice.

They boys made their way all the way down to the end of the hallway and peaked their heads around the corner, seeing two girls a few feet away from them.

They happy, giggling one was short and petite, having short black hair and a girl uniform on. She was happily singing, "We're going to see Squally!" while the other girl just sighed and rolled her eyes.

"Yuffie, calm down. If you're so excited to see him, go. Without me. Seriously. I'm looking for someone else." The other girl said. She had slicked back blonde hair with two stray strands sticking out and blue eyes that showed that she was currently annoyed.

"But Larxene! I don't wanna go alone!" Yuffie whined, making big motions with her arms.

Larxene smirked and said, "Well, then it's either go alone or you can ask Rinny to go with you. It's your choice."

Yuffie scowled. "I am not asking Rinoa to come with me!" She then said some things about Rinoa that wasn't too friendly, making Larxene laugh.

"Well, then good luck looking for him. Bye-bye!" Larxene said with that smirk still on her pale lips. She turned around and walked off, giving Yuffie a small wave. Yuffie just pouted and walked away also, hoping to find her 'Squally'.

Roxas and Sora watched all of this happen, not saying a word until the girls were out of sight.

"Why are they girls in an all boys academy?" Roxas asked Sora.

"Better question," Sora countered, "who in their right mind would let Larxene near here?"

"You know that blonde chick?" Roxas asked, curious.

"Uh, I guess you could say that. I wasn't friends with her, but I recognize her." answered Sora uneasily.

"So, should we go find Demyx?" asked Roxas, scratching his head.

"You mean Demyx isn't with you two?"

Sora and Roxas jumped and turned around, facing a confused Zexion. He was holding a few books in his hands, obviously back from the library.

"Uh... Um..." Sora stuttered. He couldn't exactly say, 'Oh hi, Zexion. See, Roxas tricked Demyx into running out of the pool naked since he thought Riku and them were going to do something to you.', in a calm voice, now, could he?

"Oh, hi, Zexion. See, I tricked Demyx into running out of the pool naked since he thought Axel and them were going to get you or something." Roxas calmly informed their lilac haired friend. Apparently, Roxas could say that and keep a straight face.

Zexion blinked and asked, "Where is he now?"

"Uh, that's what we were trying to figure out." Sora sheepishly said, leaving of the eavesdropping part out.

"No idea where he is?" Zexion asked.

"No idea." Roxas and Sora said in unison.

Zexion let out a frustrated sigh. "Fine, we can split up. I'll check the top floors and roof. Sora, you check the middle floors and Roxas cover the ground floor."

"Is it smart to just split up with-" But Sora was promptly quieted by Zexion raising his hand.

"They won't do anything too hurtful. Right now, we should find Demyx. Now go." Zexion commanded.

Roxas and Sora nodded and walked off to where Zexion had told them to, feeling as if they were in some kind of boot camp.

---------------------------------------

No sign of Demyx anywhere on the ground floor. No dirty blonde hair. No dumb smile. No nothing. He had looked all over the ground floor for nothing. He checked the laundry room, the lobby, the desk area; he even peaked outside to see if Demyx was there. To his relief he saw no naked senior outside. But he was still frustrated.

"Ugh..." Roxas groaned, leaning lazily on a wall, the lobby room door next to him.

"What now?"

The blonde freshmen looked around, it sounded like Axel, but he didn't see the redhead anywhere in sight. Then he heard some giggles.

'The sounds were on the other side of the wall,' Roxas concluded.

"C'mon, Ax, it's just me. No harm done."

"But-!" Then the talking stopped. There was another person with Axel, but Roxas wasn't sure. Curiosity taking holds of him, he walked down and peaked into the lobby.

And he wished he hadn't.

Roxas quickly ducked out of the room, confused about what he saw. The blonde felt angry, sad, curious, and a lot of other stuff that just made his heart jerk in too many directions. Wanting to desperately talk about this to Sora, he ran back up the stairs and frantically looked around for Sora. As he ran, he tried to shake the image out of his head.

A/N: Short chapter and cliffy! D: Oh noez! I am so sorry for the long wait! Truly! I've just been P-A-N-I-C-K-I-N-G, got it? Good. (No, I don't say 'Got it memorized?' I just say, 'Got it?'.) Why?

I'm starting high school! D: On Monday, this upcoming Monday. And I'm freaking out. I'm going to get so lost. No sense of direction and I'm an IB student, meaning heavy textbooks to carry. I've already seen my American Government and History textbooks. D: Plus, the cross country trip around the school isn't helping either.

But enough on my pity rant.

Basically, slower updates. Thanks to all of you wonderful reviewers! We're almost to one hundred::Jumps around happily: Writers block is slowly creeping up on me, perfect example is this chapter.

Well, until next chapter! ;D (Please forgive me, again. School has got me freaking out. D:)
