I own Derek. That's it.

I made this chapter in order to celebrate the end of the school year and that fact that I passed all my finals. Yippee!

Monday (Or the Hallow Bastion equivalent of Monday)

Sakura lay in bed and tossed around in her sleep. She was worried about her friends. The ones who were out there searching for her feathers while she just sat there. Syaoran's last note was different then what he usually sent. Normally he would talk more about the world he went to. She remembered that the note from their first world, Atlantica, had taken up three pages. Her worry over why the letter was short was eating at her and she was sure that the three of them were hurt.

'Sakura, you're being paranoid. Fai said that they would be fine.

'But, what if-'

'They can handle themselves. Kurogane and Syaoran are both excellent fighters. And they- ...well, Syaoran, won't let anything happen to Mokona either.'

'I know...'

'There! Now just get some sleep.'

Tuesday

"Fai? What's going on?" The Princess had caught the worried look on the Mage's face before he could cover it with his usual smile. She had heard a voice before coming downstairs and had recognized it as Leon. The mage gave her a carefree, though somewhat apprehensive, smile.

"According to Leon some of those Organization members have been hanging around."

'It wasn't Demyx was- No. Why would I be worried about him?'

Her worried expression betrayed her contradictory thoughts. Fai caught the expression and misinterpreted it, placing a hand on her shoulder.

"Sakura, don't worry about it. They were spotted a lot farther away. I doubt they'd come too close to an area where people live." Sakura nodded an agreement. That wasn't really what she was nervous about (even though she didn't want to admit it at that point) but it was better that Fai didn't know.

Wednesday

Sakura sat at the table/counter humming without realizing it. At least, not until Fai spoke up and asked her about the song.

"Oh, um, I heard someone playing it and I thought it sounded really beautiful."

"Really? It sounds like a nice song."

"It really is."

"I'll have to go hear it in person some time huh?"

"Um..."

Thursday

"Sakura, are you alright?" Tifa looked up as the young girl came toward her. "You didn't run into one of the Organization members did you?" Sakura shook her head and looked up at the older woman.

"Actually, I had a question I wanted to ask you." Tifa nodded and motioned for her to continue. Sakura gathered up her courage, took a deep breath, and "Why do people fear the Organization?"

"I'll tell you why!" A red-haired man, hearing the question, marched over to the two. "It's because they're heartless monsters! That's why! They go off destroying Worlds because they want to! And-"

"Derek! If you don't-"

"Excuse me! I'm talking here!" Derek turned back to Sakura, ignoring the threats coming from Tifa. "Those things are nothing more than heartless, soulless creatures that should burn for eternity! Lives! Homes! It doesn't matter to them! They just kill without mercy! All of them..."

"But-"

"You weren't in Traverse Town! People, wrenched from their homes, were telling others about the men in black cloaks who destroyed their Worlds, they all laughed as people screamed! That red-haired devil! Sophia! Amulrai! My par-" Derek's words became nothing more than outbursts of anger. Tifa, after finally flinging the guy aside, led Sakura down the street.

"Sorry about that. Derek's very... passionate for his hatred against the Organization."

"What happened?"

"No clue. He never tells anyone."

"Is it true? That they are heartless?" Tifa sighed, almost as if she had given this explanation before, before answering Sakura's question.

"It's a rumor. People whose Worlds were destroyed by them have all told stories. Some are rather ridiculous, such as a rumor that their leader commands a giant, metal, dragon, but the one that people remember the most is the rumor about them not having hearts."

Friday

"Hi Sakura!" Demyx grinned as the princess came over and sat down. His grin faded slightly as she looked over at him with a serious expression on her face. Sakura had though it over. She had seen Demyx smile plenty of times but when she saw his eyes they off. Almost as if there was something missing. "Sakura?"

"Um..." She shifted uncomfortably. It seemed a rude question to ask but she was genuinely curious. "I-Is it true? That you-" Demyx placed his finger on her lips to shush her.

"You heard, huh?" He turned away from Sakura and kept quiet. Sakura had never seen Demyx like this before. It both worried and scared her. "It isn't fair."

"What-"

"Just because we're different! That's how it was for him! And that's how it is for me! They just-" Demyx's anger faded almost immediately. "They just don't understand." Demyx jumped when Sakura touched his arm. He had apparently forgotten she was there. "Sorry, I didn't mean to do that." An ashamed look passed over his face. It was quickly replaced with a serious one. "But, I do have a heart. It's not with me right now. I don't know where it's at. But I know I have one." The serious look vanished as quickly as it came. "You do believe me, right?" Sakura nodded with tears in her eyes.

"Of course I-" She was quickly cut of by Demyx's embrace.

"Thank you." She sat there in shock for a moment before wrapping her arms around him and returning the hug.

Neither of them noticed a pair of blue eyes watching them.

Notes:

Monday: Sakura is arguing with that little voice in exists in the back of everyone's heads. You know, the one that questions everything about you and constantly contradicts you. (I hate that voice don't you? No you don't. Shut up!)

Thursday: Derek is an OC who will have a slightly bigger role in my next crossover. (Funny thing is he'll have a bigger role in a story where he's dead before it begins.(Therefore he only shows up in flashbacks)) Also, if you look closely you'll see he has a connection to Marluxia. (It's not hard to find)

Friday: It's just seems obligatory that every romance fanfiction with an Organization member has a 'I don't have a heart but-' type of scene. Of course, considering the fact that Sakura is missing a large chunk of her soul, I don't think she's really all that troubled by it. The important thing is I like writing the two of them together and that's all that matters.

If you hit the review button I'll add whatever you want to the next chapter. Anything. I'll even add- no not that. I can't write that.
