A/N:
Hello again. Updating for you~ Partial Song fic! Seether and Amy Lee's Broken is featured in this chapter. _____________________________________________________________________________________
Yukia's sobs were slow, strained, and overall loud. Not that she was trying to; it just came out that way. Trying to keep quiet was something she wasn't accustomed to, so she got louder with ever breathe she took. Demyx just held her, slowly rocking back and forth; humming a little lullaby to her- wordless, a blank melody. Eventually the strangled cries became quieter and less frequent, and she altogether stopped sobbing. Assuming she fell asleep, Demyx picked her up gently and walked to his room, using one hand to hold her and the other to open the door.
I'm glad she stopped crying, but… Demyx dropped her gingerly on his bed, and pulled the covers up over her still-shaking form. What am I supposed to do with her now?
Shrugging, he grabbed his Sitar, and began to play another wordless melody. _____________________________________________________________________________________
Vexen walked through the halls of the Castle, and came to a stop in a random corridor. Marluxia had gone off because of Larxene, Xigbar and Luxord [along with Axel] had gone drinking, and overall- Demyx was gone, creating a eerie silence in the Castle That Never Was.
Vexen's eye twitched. _____________________________________________________________________________________
Yukia slowly woke up to the sound of a song, but she didn't know what it was or who was playing it. All she knew was that she liked it, and began to hum along to the gentle melody. Is it Demyx playing? I was with him last, so I'm assuming things…
"Ah!" Demyx noticed her humming and stopped playing. "You're awake, Yukia-chan!"
She blinked up at him, and smiled. "Yes. Thank you for… comforting me back there."
"No problem!"
She spared a glance at his Sitar, and then mumbled to him. "Can you continue playing…?"
Demyx looked at her face and saw a faint blush. Smiling widely, he replied. "Of course, Yukia-chan." _____________________________________________________________________________________
Vexen then heard Demyx's Sitar play, and two voices began to sing along. But the words didn't sound practiced, but more like improvised. He was sure Demyx sang first, and wasn't all too surprised he could sing.
"I wanted you to know, I love the way you laugh.
I wanna hold you high and steal your pain away…
I keep your photograph and I know it serves me well,
I wanna hold you high and steal your pain…"
Then surely that was his Yukia- but why was she singing so deeply, and with Demyx…?!
"'Cause I'm broken when I'm lonesome,
and I don't feel right when you're gone away…" she paused to take a breath. "You've gone away…
You don't feel me here, anymore."
Vexen wanted to cry, if only he had a heart.
Yukia liked the way Demyx's voice sounded- it was much deeper than his normal voice, and the words flowed beautifully.
She also liked the way her voice sounded with his.
"The worst is over now, and we can breathe again.
I wanna hold you high, you steal my pain… away.
There's so much left to learn,
and no one left to fight.
I wanna hold you high and steal your pain…
'Cause I'm broken, when I'm open,
and I don't feel like I am strong enough." She breathed every word when she felt they needed to be said, but she felt like she was singeing to nothing and for no one. "'Cause I'm broken when I'm lonesome,
and I don't feel right when you're gone away.
'Cause I'm broken, when I'm open,
and I don't feel like I am strong enough.
'Cause I'm broken when I'm lonesome
and I don't feel right
when you're gone away…"
Demyx's smile turned one that was sad, something that didn't suit him at all.
Concerned, Yukia slowly got up from his bed and walked over to him, where he'd stopped playing his Sitar. "What's wrong, Demyx…?"
"'Cause I'm broken, when I'm lonesome- and I don't feel right when you're gone…"
She began to tear up again and placed their foreheads together.
"You've gone away… you don't feel me here, anymore…" _____________________________________________________________________________________
Vexen hadn't wanted to hear her words- no, they were too sad for him to bear, but more so for her. He let this Replica alone in that world, she had killed her Original and lived as a pain-filled creature.
Vexen had begun to get emotional. ["Emotions," Xemnas said. "Are something for people with hearts. We don't have hearts." That's what he thinks, anyway. Demyx claims to have a heart.] He heard them stop singing, and that was it. He wasn't going to listen to what the other said anymore.
Time for something to end. _____________________________________________________________________________________
