Let's get this party started right!!!!!
**********
"Hey, Xaldin," Luxord said, walking into the kitchen. "Dinner ready yet?"
"Don't rush me," Xaldin muttered, tossing the salad in front of him. "You can't rush perfection."
Luxord shrugged, opening the fridge. "Thanks, Vexen," he said, grabbing a tub of ice cream from the frozen academic's hands. He closed the door. The ice cream dropped and he wrenched the door open again. "Xaldin," he said, closing the door again, "did you know Vexen is dead in the freezer?"
"Yeah, I saw him there, but I thought he was doing some science thing, so I left him alone," Xaldin replied, shrugging.
"I think he's dead," Luxord said.
"No harm done," Xaldin said.
**********
***IN THE LIVING ROOM***
"Settle down," Xemnas said to the people surrounding him on the couches. "First of all, I'd like to thank you all for coming here today. I know we had some rough times earlier in the year, what with you all trying to kill me, but I'm sure we're all past those feelings, right?"
Silence was his answer accompanied by the pages Marluxia turned in his gardening magazine and the gentle plucking of strings on his sitar by Demyx.
"Demyx, your hair is on fire," Axel said.
"What?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?" Demyx ran his hands along the sides and top of his hair, breathing easily when he realized the redhead was lying. "Axel, that's not funny!!"
"It sure as hell was!!" Axel laughed. "That reaction was priceless!"
"Settle down," Xemnas said again, looking around the room.
Axel, Marluxia, and Larxene were sharing the dark red couch leaning up against the wall under the window, Roxas leaning against one of its arms. Lexaeus and Xigbar sat on opposite sides of another couch, this one dark green and across from the front door. Xion was polishing a few pieces of silverware near the kitchen door, Saix standing near her to be as close to Xemnas as possible. Zexion sat in a deep purple armchair, an open book in his hands, Demyx sitting on the floor in between his legs with his sitar in hand.
"Xemnas!"
The silver-haired man looked over at Luxord as he came running out of the kitchen, the door swinging shut behind him. "What's wrong, Luxord?" Xion asked, setting aside her silverware for the moment.
"Vexen, your scientist, is dead…in the freezer," Luxord explained rapidly.
"No harm done," Axel mumbled.
"I can solve this," Roxas said, sliding a pair of sunglasses out of his jacket pocket. "Let me go get my kit."
"What is he going to get?" Demyx asked, looking up at Zexion above him.
"His…kit, I think," Zexion muttered, trying to keep his attention on his book.
Marluxia, Axel, and Larxene looked up from their own private conversation as the blonde came back, a box hidden behind his back.
Roxas set the box down on the coffee table, everyone (with the exception of Xaldin and of course Vexen) crowding around it. "Roxas, isn't that a Clue set?" Larxene asked.
"No, it's a very expensive and important detective kit," Roxas defended.
"No, that's a Clue box," Axel said. "Look, it's got the footprints and the cards and everything."
"No, it's not Clue!" Roxas exclaimed.
"So I shouldn't do this?" Axel picked up the box, shaking it a few times.
"Quit it!" Roxas yelled at him, snatching the box back and setting it back on the table. He opened the box and pulled out a board, unfolding it and setting it back on the table. "Now, I have acquired the entire floor plan to this house."
"Hang on a minute," Xemnas interrupted. "How did you manage to get the entire floor plan for my mansion?"
"Long story," Roxas muttered.
"There doesn't seem to be enough pieces for all of us," Xigbar pointed out.
"Actually, there are no pieces at all," Zexion corrected quietly, finally shutting his book to pay attention to what was going on.
"Hang on a minute," Axel said. He dug around in his jacket pocket, pulling out a handful of game pieces and slamming them down on the game board. "There we go."
"You carry around Monopoly pieces with you?" Saix asked, raising an eyebrow.
"You bastard, you told me you lost those!" Marluxia accused, slapping Axel's shoulder.
"I want to be the boot!" Luxord exclaimed, a smile growing.
"These will represent us in the house when Vexen was killed," Axel said, moving the boot piece to rest in front of Luxord. "Luxord, you can be the boot."
"Yay," the blonde said happily.
"So, where was everyone when Vexen was supposedly killed 4 hours ago?" Roxas asked, everyone grabbing a Monopoly piece.
"I was in the dining room enjoying a buffet," Xemnas said, moving his Segway piece to the dining room.
"I was in the dining room as well," Saix said, moving the iron piece to sit next to Xemnas's.
"I was in the conservatory because I had nothing else to do," Roxas said, moving the rocket piece to the conservatory. He moved the horse and cowboy piece to the kitchen to represent Vexen.
"I was in the hall cleaning the rug," Xion said, moving her top hat piece to the hall.
"I was in the lounge," Axel said, moving the Peter Pan piece.
"I was with him," Marluxia said, moving the dog and purse piece.
"As was I," Larxene added, moving the dog piece.
"I was in the billiard room playing strip pool with Luxord," Xigbar said, moving his cannon piece and Luxord's boot to the billiard room.
"I was in the ballroom," Lexaeus said, moving the battleship piece.
"I was in the library catching up on some reading," Zexion said, moving the racecar piece.
"And I was with him playing my sitar," Demyx added, moving his Sleeping Beauty piece to join Zexion's racecar in the library.
"That's everyone," Roxas said. "And no one was in the kitchen or the study which has a secret passageway to the kitchen. We have gotten nowhere with this."
"Wait!" Luxord exclaimed, pulling something out of his jacket pocket. "There was this evidence beside the body!"
"It looks like sitar strings," Saix said, examining the long thin strings in Luxord's hands.
"My extra sitar strings!" Demyx exclaimed happily, then sat back down. "I mean, those aren't mine."
"Well, only one person likes the sitar and plays it," Xemnas said.
"Uh-uh!" Demyx exclaimed. "Everyone likes the sitar!"
Roxas sighed. "Raise your hand if you like the sitar."
Demyx's hand shot up in the air. He looked around; no one else had their hand up. "I didn't do it!!!" he yelled, moving his hand back down.
Larxene gave a small cough. "I need to…go to the bathroom," she said, standing up. "Lady problems." She walked out of the room, Axel and Marluxia looking at each other out of the corners of their eyes.
***IN THE KITCHEN***
Xaldin tossed some shredded carrots on the salad in front of him, tossing the whole thing a few times before turning to the stove. He opened the pot of soup still cooking and took a spoon, testing to see if it needed anything else. He coughed a few times before collapsing on the floor. Dead.
***IN THE LIVING ROOM***
"Xaldin," Lexaeus said, walking into the kitchen, "is dinner ready yet? I'm starving." He looked down and saw the older man lying on the floor where they'd layed Vexen, a soup spoon in his hand.
"Give me the strings!" Demyx whined, jumping for the strings Axel held in his outreached hand. "Come on, Axel! Give 'em back!!"
"Jump for them, water boy," Axel smirked, holding them even higher as the blonde jumped as high as he could but still fell a few inches short.
"Xemnas!"
The silver-haired man looked over at Lexaeus as he burst out of the kitchen, one hand on his fedora to keep it on his head. "Xaldin's dead," he panted, leaning against the wall to catch his breath.
Everyone looked at each other before rushing into the kitchen. Demyx opened the door, immediately tripping over Xaldin and crashing to the floor. "So now he's gone," Roxas mumbled to himself, thinking it over.
"Xaldin and Vexen are dead," Saix said, crossing his arms.
"And we're in here with two dead bodies!!" Marluxia yelled, everyone jumping up and racing out of the kitchen. Demyx scrambled to his feet, jumping in Zexion's arms as they reached the living room.
"So, now Xaldin's dead and Vexen's dead," Saix said. "Who's next?"
"It looks like the murderer won't stop," Zexion said. "I think it's safe to say that Xigbar is the best candidate for the murderer."
"Tell me why before I kill you with your own damn book," Xigbar growled.
"See what I mean?" Zexion asked, raising an eyebrow. "Retired assassin beats all odds for a murderer."
"Don't go blaming Xigy, Zexy!" Demyx whined, leaning back against the slate-haired man's legs.
"Thank you, Demyx," Xigbar said, leaning back against the couch he was sitting on and crossing his arms. Somewhere during the argument, Larxene walked back into the room, sitting back in her place between Axel and Marluxia on their couch.
"Let's split up and search the house," Roxas suggested, standing up.
"What good will that do us?" Axel asked, everyone who was sitting standing up to crowd around the shorter blonde.
"We'll be able to find the murderer faster," Roxas explained.
"And get killed more easily in the process," Lexaeus mumbled, more to himself and anyone who was listening.
"Luxord and Xion, you two check the attic," Roxas said, pointing at the butler and the maid. "Lexaeus and Xigbar, you check the basement. Xemnas and Saix, you check outside in the front yard, back yard, and the sides of the house. Larxene, you and I will check the 3rd floor. Axel, you and Marluxia check the 2nd floor. And Zexion, you and Demyx check this floor. We'll meet up here in the living room in an hour. If you find anything, yell."
"Z-Zexy?" Demyx asked as the rest of the room was vacated, everyone going where they were assigned. "How long is an hour?"
"Too long to be in this house, Dem," Zexion said, wrapping an arm around the blonde's waist to comfort him. "Too long."
***THE STAIRS TO THE ATTIC***
Luxord and Xion peered through the doorway and up the stairs that led up the attic. "You wanna go?" Xion asked, looking up at Luxord above her.
"Uh, you can go first," Luxord suggested, peering up the stairway once again.
***THE BACKYARD***
Xemnas leaned against a tree in the shade, watching Saix dig through the bushes against the house. "Find anything?" he called.
"Not yet, sir," Saix called back. "But I'll keep searching."
Xemnas smirked, his gaze never leaving the bluenette. "See that you do," he said, the smirk never leaving his face.
***THE BASEMENT***
"When was the last time Xemnas cleaned down here?" Xigbar muttered, kicking aside the millions and millions of dust bunnies littering the floor.
"Probably the last time whoever he bought this house from cleaned," Lexaeus replied, moving a giant cobweb out of his face.
***THE LIVING ROOM***
"You find anything, Zexy?" Demyx asked, looking back behind him. He frowned, seeing Zexion sitting in his purple armchair with an open book. "Zexy!!"
"I couldn't find anything, so I sat down to read," Zexion stated calmly, turning a page.
Demyx sighed, going over to the chair. "Can I at least sit with you?" he asked, turning on his puppy-dog eyes.
Zexion sighed, moving his book to one side. "If you want," he said, a small smile creeping on his face. Demyx grinned, moving to sit on the older's lap. He leaned back against his chest, Zexion's arm coming around to rest on his hips as he kept reading, the blonde starting to read over his shoulder at times.
***THE GUEST BEDROOM ON THE 2ND FLOOR***
"Man, there's nothing good to take in here."
Axel pawed through a drawer, slamming it shut when he didn't find anything useful. "Marly, you find anything?"
"Worth pawning off?" Marluxia asked back from the connecting bathroom. "Not hardly."
"Man, this place sucks," Axel muttered, lying back on the bed.
***THE MASTER BEDROOM ON THE 3RD FLOOR***
"Did you find anything, Larxene?" Roxas asked, sitting on the edge of the bathtub in the master bathroom.
"Nothing of interest," Larxene muttered, sitting on the edge of the bed while she looked at her nails.
Roxas sighed, looking down at the checked tile pattern on the bathroom floor. The bedroom door opened and he looked up, still sitting on the tub. "Hello?" he asked, not hearing Larxene in the room anymore. "You still here?" A figure stepped in the doorway. "You!" He screamed.
***THE STAIRS TO THE ATTIC***
Xion and Luxord looked at each other when they heard screaming. "That sounded like Roxas!" Xion exclaimed worriedly. "We'd better see if he's alright!"
The two turned around and saw a figure standing in front of him.
"I knew it!" Luxord yelled before both he and Xion started screaming.
***THE BACKYARD***
"More water, sir?" Saix asked, sitting next to Xemnas under a tree with a pitcher of water. They'd given up searching a half hour ago.
"Water isn't what you need."
Both men looked up at the figure standing in front of them, casting a shadow from the sun. "What are you doing?!" they yelled together as the figure stepped closer.
***THE LIVING ROOM***
Demyx's gaze shot up from the book he was reading with Zexion. "H-How m-many screams w-was that, Z-Zexy?" he stuttered, the older's arm tightening slightly around his waist.
"I don't know." Demyx got off Zexion and the two stood up, jumping slightly as Xigbar and Lexaeus came running into the room. A few seconds later, Axel, Marluxia, and Larxene strolled into the room.
"Did you hear screaming?" Xigbar asked.
Demyx nodded, Zexion's arms wrapped protectively around his stomach and chest from behind. "Five of them," he said quietly, counting on his fingers. "Xemnas, Saix, Roxas, Xion, and Luxord."
"Actually, I found a Heartless plush next to Roxas in the master bathroom," Axel said, holding up a plush that looked a lot like Toby. All heads turned to Demyx.
"I didn't do it!!" the blonde yelled, turning a light pink.
Axel, Larxene, and Marluxia looked at each other and nodded. "We'd like to see if our new night vision stuff will work, so let's turn out the lights real quick," Axel said. Marluxia flipped the switch.
Groans and yells were heard from 4 of the members. "I totally didn't do it!" Demyx yelled before he yelled out in pain.
The lights flipped back on.
Xigbar, Demyx, Zexion, and Lexaeus lay on the floor, all four of them dead. Larxene, Marluxia, and Axel grinned down at the remaining 4 dead members, smirking at each other. "That takes care of them," Larxene said.
Marluxia and Axel grinned at each other, nodding. The lights flipped off again.
When they came back on, Larxene was lying with the other 4 members, Axel and Marluxia grinning down at them. "Well done," Axel said, giving the pink-haired man a high-five.
**********
"Demyx." Saix looked down at the sleeping nobody. "DEMYX!!!!!"
"Huh?! What?!?!" Demyx shot up in his chair, Monopoly pieces falling from where he'd slept on them and hitting the Clue board he'd been using as a pillow.
"Aren't you supposed to be on a mission?" Saix asked, crossing his arms.
"Well, not for a few minutes," Demyx said, looking a little nervous.
"Well, then…" Saix said, leaning closer. He grabbed a hold of the collar of Demyx's cloak, pulling him an inch away from his own face. "GET GOING!!!! NOW!!!!!!!"
"Yes, sir," Demyx said hurriedly, opening the door. "Right away, sir!" He slammed the door shut behind him.
Saix turned and leaned over the counter, his head in his hands.
The door opened again and Demyx stuck his head in. "Excuse me for asking, but did you and the superior have a fight?" he asked.
"GET!!! OUT!!!!!" Saix yelled, throwing a glass at the wall.
"Yes, sir!" Demyx exclaimed in fear and hurry. "Sorry, sir!" The door slammed shut behind him again.
Saix let out a pained sigh, leaning over the counter once again. "I have no purpose in life," he mumbled.
****BLOOPERS****
"Du du du du du, Inspector Roxas, du du du du du du duuuuuu whoo whoo," Axel and Marluxia sang together, watching as Roxas slid his sunglasses on before starting to laugh along with them.
****
Roxas looked around when he heard the door open. A figure stepped in the doorway. "You!!!!" he screamed. "Help, Axel's the murderer!!!!!"
"You idiot!" Axel said, slapping the back of Roxas's head. "You're not supposed to use my name!"
Roxas stuck his tongue out at him. "But it's so much fun," he pouted.
"Retake," Larxene muttered, Xaldin starting the camera over again.
****
"I didn't do it!!!" Demyx yelled for what seemed the millionth time.
"Yeah, you did," Zexion said, turning a page in his book. "Hey!" he yelled as he was pushed out of the armchair he sat in. He turned to see Demyx glaring down at him. "What the hell was that for?!"
"For thinking I'm the murderer," he muttered, turning away.
Zexion stood up, leaning forward to press a kiss to the back of the blonde's neck. "I would never think you're the murderer," he whispered.
Demyx smiled, turning around and giving the slate-haired man a big hug. "Thanks, Zexy!!!!" he exclaimed happily.
"Great, now we gotta stop Zexion from molesting Demyx," Axel muttered.
****
"So," Demyx said, staring at the camera with a serious expression, "did you catch the murderer? Or was it too late for you and your friends and family? It might just have been too late because you have just lost the game."

Hope ya'll like it! Know I did writing it and the rest of my group filming it! Later! Oh, and I'm sorry about this being late, but I'm pretty sure I explained in the last episode about my California trip. And in one of my episodes that if I don't upload every Saturday, I'll try to upload the next possible date as humanly and nobody-ly as possible.
*peace sign* Dem-Dem out!!!
