A/N: First of all one thing that seems to be forgotten quite oftenly by me. I don't own the character or the places. Just the idea of the story. And if I forget to write this again, I've written it up to my profile so it's at least there.

So first of all I'm sorry for long whiles before updating but the least is that I'll get one review for a chapter that I'd keep on updating. Thanks.

Theme 15 Flames: Set B

12. Some kind of monster

Demyx was already sleeping in his room when he heard someone walking outside his room. Scared but curious, Demyx decided to go and investigate. Sure, he knew that Axel controlled fire but at the time that little information had went missing in his head.

Demyx opened the door quietly and looked out. He shrieked when he saw someone walking down the corridor. The only thing he could think to do was strike water hit and the 'monster' turned around quite angry. Demyx shrieked again and went back inside his room.

The 'monster' came to Demyx's door and knocked on it. Demyx had already gone to bed and hid under the blanket. "Demyx, open the door right now!" The 'monster' shouted. Demyx blinked. He knew that voice.

"Axel?" He called out quite scared.

"Who the hell you think it to be, huh? Of course it's me!" Axel shouted back. Demyx came back to the door and opened it to let his friend inside. Axel walked in dripping wet. Demyx blinked at him in confusion.

"What happened to you?" Demyx asked puzzled. Axel turned around and poked him few times.

"You happened!" He shouted angrily. Demyx blinked few times before he realized what really had happened. He smiled nervously and chuckled a little.

"I… I thought you were a monster…" Demyx whispered quietly.

"A monster? Me as a some kind of freaking monster?!? What the hell's gotten into you?!?" Axel screeched angrily. Demyx gulped and started to back towards the door.

"I… I had a slight nightmare…?" Demyx tried while fumbling with the door.

"And you thought me to be a monster? You should freaking know better by now!" Axel shouted. Demyx nodded but still tried to open the door. "And where do you think you're going?" Axel asked smirking. Demyx gulped.

"I… Um… Nowhere…?" Demyx replied quietly. Axel smirked and called out a fireball.

"Do I freaking look like a darn monster to you?" Axel asked angrily. Demyx shook his head. "Well, this monster gives you five seconds to run off…" Axel threatened and Demyx turned around to open the door but he kept on fumbling with it. "5…4…3…2…1…" Axel counted before he vanquished the fireball and tackled Demyx to the ground. Demyx shrieked and stared fearfully at Axel.

Axel laughed and leaned against the wall. "You really think I'd hurt you, huh?" Axel asked while offering his hand to Demyx. Demyx blinked but accepted the offered hand. "Sorry, didn't mean to scare ya." Axel said and pulled Demyx to a hug. Demyx sighed happily and finally calmed down.

"You're not a monster, Ax… I just had a nightmare and, well, forgot things for a while…" Demyx explained and blushed a little. Axel chuckled but nodded.

"Yeah… I can look like a monster sometimes…" He chuckled and Demyx smiled.

13. It's an endless circle

After a short practice between the two, Demyx watched how Axel was eating quite a lot. The water wielder frowned a little. "Aren't you ever getting full?" Demyx asked puzzled. Axel chuckled.

"Your element doesn't take as much as mine." Axel replied. "It's a circle. I eat a lot but I also use a lot of energy since, no offence, the fire is harder element that water." Axel explained. Demyx sighed.

"Endless circle, huh?" He questioned and Axel only nodded. Demyx shrugged. "Well, if you know what you're doing then that's good…" The Nocturne whispered. "See ya 'round, Ax." Demyx said before leaving the Flurry alone into the kitchen.

14. Why is...?

Demyx was watching Axel's practicing with the fire. It always amazed the young water wielder but it also got him to both envy Axel's skills and hate his own element. Demyx often wondered why he had been given water as an element and this day was one of those.

The young musician sighed sadly even though he was happy to be watching his friend practice with the fire. Axel noticed that Demyx wasn't fully into following the show so he vanquished the fire and walked up to the bench where Demyx was sitting. "You OK? You look little off, ya know." Axel questioned worriedly while sitting down next to Demyx.

Demyx sighed again. "I'm fine it's just…" Demyx started but trailed off with a sad sigh. Axel frowned.

"But it's just what?" Axel asked.

"The water. Why is it mine? We can't even practice together since I'm whole time scared that I'd harm you…" Demyx whispered defeated. Axel chuckled.

"Because water isn't as deathly as fire is. Water also gives life as well as takes it. Fire isn't exactly an element that would be good on you." Axel answered with a smile. Demyx glanced at him frowning out of confusion. "You are as changing as water can be." Axel explained and hugged the water wielder. Demyx sighed, leaned against Axel and smiled. The Flurry was right. Fire wouldn't be the right one for him.

15. Scarred for life

Axel woke up with a startle. Carefully he traced both of his teardrop tattoos under his eyes and sighed. No one would ever find out the real reason for the tattoos. Axel lay back down on the bed but stared at the ceiling. In reality the tattoos were hiding two scars that had been burned into his flesh. "Since you so love fire let's see what you think when the fire burns you…" Axel still could hear the voice and he shivered a little by it. At that time he had only played with a lighter and not controlling the fire like these days. Axel knew he had been wronged long time ago and punished for something he had never done but it didn't matter. In the end he had actually learned to like the tattoos he had decided out of blue to take to hide the scars.

There's only the five bonuses left!
