"No… No!"
Demyx had fatally fallen in battle. The battle against Sora was his last, for he was down on his knees, trying to keep himself from fading. He was fading, though. Bit by bit, he was disappearing.
I had been fending for myself, so far I was the weakest in the organization, but I had been doing good progress. I was doing fine fighting for myself, until his scent began to fade.
He would die. I couldn't help but shake from the panic. I knew I should've went with him…
"Demyx!" I ran to where I saw him last, and leapt from a cliff. I didn't land the way I wanted to, but I didn't care for the pain. I got back to my feet and rushed to his side. I didn't know what to do… I didn't know what to do! All I could think was…
"Don't leave." His frightened voice said, his hand pulling my to him. I was pressed against his chest that seemed to flake away slowly with every second.
"Don't go." I told him, holding him desperately, trying to keep him from slipping away.
Sora, the on looker, watched with confusion and curiousity in the scene. I did not care to look over at him. I didn't want Demyx to disappear the moment I looked away. He was already beginning to weaken in my arms, and I was the one supporting the both of us. No, not Demyx. Tears tore into my vision as I began to worry. I couldn't save him.
I couldn't save him.
"Remember what I said… when Nobody's have half a heart?" He said, and I shook my head violently. "It's yours now…"
"Don't say that."
"You'll be whole, and I'll always be with you."
"Demyx…!"
His gentle hand caressed my short black hair, and nuzzled it loveingly as he inhaled my scent. I tried to keep a hold of him, I tried to take in his every scent as well as I could, for my memory. I would like to pretend it wasn't happening… but it was. He was turning in to the air around me.
I was soon the strongest, holding him for dear life as I tried to save him, but I couldn't… He wasn't there.
I opened my eyes and stared, feeling a new emotion hit me stronger than before. Things like sadness and love were so weak before, but now, everything was so much… overwhelming. I couldn't believe what I had seen… I felt like I was fading too, but even though I really wanted to, I couldn't. I grasped my chest, feeling great pain… Was this a heartache? Something inside felt real heavy and sore…
I looked down to see a note, addressed to me. I picked it up, and breathed it, realizing it was Demyx's scent. Faint, but still, it was there…
I quickly opened it…
Don't forget me.
I love you Risix.
… I pressed it to my chest.
"I'm sorry." A voice came, a voice that belonged to the one with the Keyblade. I refused to look at him, or even speak. I don't think I could ever speak again, or breathe… Or love anyone again. I'll never get him back… He's gone, and he's never coming back.
I breathed in the smell of lilies and sea salt, and held it, knowing I'd never get to smell the real thing ever again…
