Liberi Fatali Ch2
Demyx pouted. It had been a week, and he'd still get lost in the giant castle he'd just started living in. There were bathrooms every where, yet he still had a hard time finding any. "Where's the bathroom?" He whined, hoping someone would hear his plea. Xigbar suddenly appeared in front of Demyx.
"Down the hall to your right kid. Third door." Xigbar said calmly. Let's see the kids reaction he thought, smirking.
"Oh shit! The hell!" Demyx gasped, eyes wide. He squeaked, then let out a loud sigh. "Xiggy! It's just you! How did you do that? Could you teach me? It looked so cool. I hope you'll teach me. Have you seen Zexion? Is the bathrom really down the hall? Are you making fun of me? I need to go-"
Xigbar laughed. "Woah! Chill out little dude! Slow down, your going to run outta breath. Now, let's get you to the bathroom. You look like you're going to burst." He held his hand out to the younger nobody.
Demyx smiled and took the hand. "Thanks Xiggy."
Xigbar lead the boy to one of the many bathrooms in the castle, waiting for the him outside the door. Demyx opened the door and let out a contented sigh. "Much better." He said, nodding seriously.
Xigbar smiled, shaking his head slightly. Lookig at Demyx he cracked his neck. "Why do you want to see Zexion?" He asked.
"Zexy supposed to teach me how to fight. I'm still not to good at it." Demyx said, slightly frowning. "Zexy said that if I keep practicing and try my best, I should be fine" He smiled, running a hand through his hair. "I dunno. I don't like fighting much. But if I have to, I will."
Xigbar frowned. "I'd be better at teaching you to fight than Zexion would be. Fighting isn't really what he's in the Organization for." Xigbar shrugged. "I'll talk to him."
Demyx beamed. "You wanna teach me? Cool! That means were friends, right?" He asked, grabbing Xigbar's arm, clutching it between his hands.
Xigbar nodded, prying Demyx's hands away from his arm. "Yes. I suppose were friends. Now, what do you want to do today?" Xigbar asked, petting the other on the head.
Demyx stuck his toungue out at Xigbar. "I'm not a dog, you big meanie! And I have to see Zexion, remember?" Xigbar frowned. Oh well.
"I'm glad you remembered Demyx. I was begining to think you forgot. You were late, so I followed your scent." Zexion leaned against a wall in the corner of the hallway. "Come on Demyx, we've got ttrain. You want to get better, right?" Demyx nodded. "Okay then. Let's go. Farewell II." Zexion gently grabbed Demyx's arm and lead him through a portal. Xigbar blinked.
"That was rude."
"Okay, do you remember how to summon your Sitar?" Zexion asked, standing behind Demyx. Demyx held his hand out, eyes closed in concentration. Nothing happened.
"Damn it! Uggh, I had it yesterday! I suck..." He whined. "Man. I'll never get the hang of it." He flopped down to the floor, falling on the sand. Zexion had took them to one of the other worlds to train. Destiny Island was it's name. It was a nice little place, small, but breath-taking. They were at the beach, and Demyx just loved it. The ocean was a sparkling blue, and smelled nice too. There were these weird trees with these little star fruits in them. Demyx had to remember to take one before he left.
"You'll be able to get it. Just focus on your element. If you call to it, you should be able to get it. Try one more time." Zexion said reasurringly.
Demyx let out a sigh and closed his eyes again. Then suddenly a his weapon, a beautiful blue sitar, appeared in Demyx's hands. He squealed. "Yes! I did it! Woohoo! Zexy, did you see that?" Demyx was rocking back and fourth, laughing like crazy. "Hehheh! Yeah! Heeheehee!"
Zexion sat next to the other boy, smiling slightly. "Good job Demyx. I'm surprised. Not many of the members got the hang of it so quickly." Well...That was a lie, but hey? Why not? "Tomorrow, I'll teach you how to use it and it's powers to it's fullest."
Demyx suddenly stood up. "Could you teach me to appear and dissappear like Xiggy?" Demyx asked, eyes looking hopeful.
Zexion frowned. "I'm sorry. I can't. Xigbar controls the element of space. Only he can do that." Demyx sank back to the ground, sighing. "But, I could probably teach you other things. Things that would be just as interesting." Zexion said quickly, trying to cheer up the younger nobody.
"Can I ask you a question Zexion?" Demyx said seriously.
"Sure." Zexion shrugged.
"Everybody says that you don't like to talk to others. That you think that anybody other than you is a waste of time. I don't really believe that. You seem really nice, so why does everybody say diffrent?" Demyx sighed, laying himself on the warm sand.
"It's true. Usualy, I don't waste my time with others. They think that all there is in their lives is pain. But, we've had many chances to be happy, if only for a little while. They're so wrapped up in their self-sorrow that they don't notice the oppertunities that are right in front of them. I don't usualy bother with the others, but you're diffrent somehow. You don't let your fate destroy you. Xemnas says that we have no emotions, but I don't believe that. We can feel, anger, pain, joy, sadness. It's real, just diffrent. Because we don't have hearts. We have to earn them to be whole, which is what the Orgnization is after. I talk to you because you remind me that we can be happy too." Zexion sighed, letting the words sink in.
"I-I...Thank you. I'm kind of speechless. I kinda got the feeling that nobody really liked me here." Demyx smiled weakly, his mouth slightly dry from such a confession. He stiffened when he felt arms that weren't his own wrap around him. He looked at Zexion, eyes wide, feeling Zexion's hair on his neck.
"Please...Just for a little while...Let me hold you. Even if it's only this one time. Please." Zexion buried his head into the crook of Demyx's shoulder, and Demyx could feel warm, wet tears near the area where Zexion's face was. "Zexion..." Demyx gulped, not knowing what to really do. Suddenly getting up, Zexion let out a shaky sigh. He turned around, but Demyx could tell he was wiping the tears away. "I'm sorry for my actions. I'll leave. You remember how to make a portal, right?" He asked, kepping his voice in monotone.
Demyx got up to his feet. "Well yeah, but-" Zexion quickly opened a portal, escaping within it, leaving Demyx alone. Demyx fell on the soft sand, hiding his face with both of his hands. "I don't get it...Why me?"
Demyx had stayed at the beach, sitting near the ocean shore, playing with a few fish which swam up to him. He hardly noticed that it was almost sundown.
Xigbar wandered around the castle aimlessly. Demyx had been gone for quite a while, and Zexion said he'd be back soon. Well, Zexion said that about two hours ago. Zexion wouldn't tell Xigbar where the new nobody was, and refused to talk to anyone in general. Typical Zexion. He had to admit, he had a soft spot for the new nobody and was getting quite woried. "Damn it. Where are you Demyx?"
And one chapter ends, another begins. Tralala. I'm working on the chapter, and I have Thanksgiving break, so it should be up tommorow. I'm a pretty fast updater. I'd still love a beta, so wheee! See ya! (hugs)
