Nobody's Love

Previously on Nobody's Love: Glancing at Zexion out of the corner of his eye, he saw the Nobody held no disagreements with Vexen's compromise as the giant Nobody merely nodded his head before he disappeared in a puff of black smoke.

Chapter Three: The Subjects

(Earlier that day)

As it neared the wee early hours of eight o'clock, the skies outside of Castle Oblivion were as dark and dank as every passing day that The World That Never Was has ever had. From the brightly lit neon signs hanging above the many buildings in the quiet city to the ominous aura that the heart shaped moon gave off, it was quite an interesting yet spooky place for anybody to live in. However, if there ever was an outsider who never lived in The World That Never Was would soon find this world of looming darkness a bit frightening and bizarre, but for the Nobodies that lived there on a day to day bases on the other hand would see their black dimension as just another average day.

Of course no one lived in that city except for thirteen nobodies inside that very castle while the city itself was abandoned from any human or nobody contact. But aside from that shocking news, although this world was always shrouded in complete darkness making the Nobody resident's be out of touch with time, they would be able to know when it was am or pm by simply looking at the clocks spread throughout the entire castle. Although this method of telling time was pretty mundane and rather boring, it was but their only way of differentiating night from day.

Now inside the massive fortress laid thirteen sleeping nobodies all nestled soundlessly inside their bedrooms. But now that morning has arrived, the halls will soon be loud with voices echoing off of the white walls of the castle. A creak was heard from one door followed shortly after by another as all the rested nobodies left their bedrooms all heading toward the kitchen to grab themselves something to eat. However as everyone had piled out of their bedrooms, there were two Nobodies absent from the clamorous corridors. In fact they were still asleep in their beds.

In one room it was blindingly bright from the blue walls and the blue carpet floor that clashed with the castle's painfully brilliant white walls. Inside the room it was filled aquatic figurines of many different underwater wildlife, while the room was clad with posters of bands and group photos of the all the organization members. In the corner of the room rested a huge stereo on top of big dresser, a huge walk in closet on the left side of the room as well as a nice bathroom on the same side, and of course a king size bed with blue comforters, pillows, and a dark blue canopy hanging over it on the right side of the room along with a nightstand.

The other room that was a little ways down from this room had blood red walls that also shed some color to the piercingly bright walls of Castle Oblivion. But unlike the blue bedroom that had posters and knick knacks, this one had candles, candlesticks, and incenses all around the room. On the left side of the room laid a king size bed with a nightstand with red comforters, pillows, and above the headboard was two identical chakrams. On the right was a walk in closet, a spacious bathroom, and on the wall in between the room rested a big screen tv with a game console with numerous games spread all across the red carpet floor.

Though it seemed that these two nobodies had the good life after hearing about all the nice stuff that they have in their bedrooms, they like all other members of the organization were not around too much to enjoy them. The reason being was because of the missions that their leader Xemnas had assigned for every nobody to scout out other worlds in search for wondrous hearts that they could use in order to create Kingdom Hearts. Although many of the nobodies had not a lingering thought of what Number I was going to do once they collected so many hearts, they at least knew that they would at least achieve their goal of obtaining a heart for themselves.

Back to the two nobodies asleep in their rooms. While one was cradling a nice blue sitar in his hands and muttering three words that sounded remotely to "dance water dance," the other had a large red body pillow between his legs and was snoozing lightly with slight drool coming from his mouth. Though both nobodies had two different sleeping habits, the both of them were going to have their lives entangled together whether it be for the better or for worse to come.

On each of their nightstands laid a black alarm clock that read in big bold numbers the time of 'Eight-Twenty Two.' At that particular moment in time both alarm clocks went off simultaneously as the owners both took different actions in shutting the contraption off. While one groaned and lazily dropped their hand on the snooze button and slowly rose from their bed, the other angrily pounded their alarm clock off and begrudgingly arose from their bed.

The one that clutched a sitar in his hands while he slept simply yawned and stretched his limbs as he grabbed the string instrument and placed it in the corner where his stereo was. Once doing this, he went to his closet picking out one of the many uniforms that the Organization had supplied for everyone before heading to the bathroom.

Upon entering the bathroom, the showerhead was immediately turned on. The knob to the right was tinkered with more so then the left knob as the boy had then stripped out of his gray tank top and boxers before slipping into the water himself. As the water rushed over his slight six pack body, the man's aquamarine eyes closed shut as his muscles relaxed underneath the cool water. Loving how the water cascaded down his entire body, the boy just stood in the shower relishing in the element in which he loved and controlled.

As a few minutes transpired, the youth finally reached for the shampoo bottle and began working the shampoo into his sandy-blonde hair. After gently scrubbing his head for a good long minute and a half, he grabbed for another bottle that was labeled body wash as he also reached for the scrubbier and began lathering his body up with soap sods. Minutes passed before all soap and shampoo was completely gone from his body as he turned off the water before merging from the shower.

It was then that the nobody began to dry himself off with the towel that was neatly placed on the bathroom counter before he moved on to his hair. Once dry, he wrapped the towel around his slightly skinny body as he grabbed the gel on the counter. Smirking to himself the nobody worked the gel into his hair as his trademark mullet like hairstyle came to life. Upon successfully finishing his hair, he washed the gel off his hands before he dressed himself and was out the door in a flash.

The other nobody a few doors down and across the hall on the other hand was slowly getting himself ready. Upon waking up, he sauntered toward his closet and peered into it to find his uniform only to see not a single one on a hanger. Puzzled and still a bit sleepy having not fully awaken himself up completely, he searched through his closet for any black coat to wear.

After averting his gaze from the hangers to the floor, he found what he was looking for. But upon further inspecting it, he also noticed that it was in fact dirty and reeked of sweat. His face cringed into that a scowl as he threw the dirty article of clothing out of his closet as he continued to scout for another uniform that would hopeful be clean and not dirty. Four and half minutes later, the boy emerged from the closet with a smug smirk on his face after finding a somewhat clean uniform that didn't smell as he entered his bathroom with a metal note to have Larxene do his laundry later.

As the nobody finally made it to the restroom he immediately stripped off his boxers as he jumped his skinny lanky body into the shower before turning any of the knobs on first. When he was inside, he grimaced at the two knobs that would rain down the one element he hated the most. Upon taking deep breathes, he slowly turned the knobs only to hiss at how cold the water was once it came out. Cursing at himself for not waiting outside of the shower before slipping in first, he then turned the left knob all the way around in order to feel the intense heat he loved and controlled except without the flames present of course.

Soon after the boy worked both the shampoo and body wash all over his body and rinsed it off of him rather quickly in order to get himself out of the water and dry himself off a lot quicker. Though he did not like the idea of smelling like a foot, he would rather shower himself with a element he despised then to go around smelling like he came from the garbage dump. After he dried and dressed himself, he came his favorite thing he loved to do. Shaking his head wildly, the redhead with long shoulder length hair grabbed his favorite gallon of gel and began applying the gunk to his head. This took him a total of five minutes to do before he got his hair into the wild spiky mane he had always kept it in. His emerald eyes smirked at his sexy appearance as he dashed out of his bedroom in order to go eat breakfast.

But while the redhead was eager enough to eat the first meal of the day, he however should've seen the flash of something fast and blurry coming in his direction. Before the boy even took a few steps out of his bedroom, his body was collided into another nobodies body. Groaning and moaning from the sudden impact, he averted his gaze to the one sprawled out over his body. After inspecting the nobody's face and hair he recognized immediately who crashed into him. Pushing the other boy's body off of his, he stood up from the ground and pointed an accusing finger at the one still on the floor.

"Demyx can't you watch where your running you couldn't have killed me!" Flames roared from behind the boy who controlled fire as the boy now known as Demyx stared at the enraged boy with fear.

"I-I'm s-sorry Axel but I-I didn't see where I was g-going-" Stuttering and sputtering like an idiot, Demyx couldn't make his sentence come out of his lips the way that he wanted it to. Feeling rather foolish for sounding dumb and for not looking out where he was going, he did the one thing that he believed that would help the situation better. He bowed.

Unfortunately for the simpleton Demyx, Axel did not like the water bender's gesture of forgiveness. Raising his arms from his sides, he used some of his energy to summon his chakrams from his bedroom. The silver-red wheels spun around his fingertips as they gracefully landed in his hands. Flames circled around his hands before they flickered away in an instant. It was at that precise moment that Axel grinned at the scared boy with his devilish grin that stretched out to his entire visage making the fire bender appear wicked.

It was then that Number IX decided it was best to high tail it out of there. Stumbling only slightly upon rising to his feet, the Melodious Nocturne ducked when he heard the spinning chakrams whiz toward his head. Growls were heard soon after as the duo wheels were once again hurled at his darting body. Dodging and ducking every single assault, the nobody reached the staircase leading to the kitchen. Relief washed over his countenance as he descended the stairs with the Flurry of Dancing Flames hot on his tail.

It seemed he was close to his destination to avoid being assaulted however as the nobody took the last steps down the stairs, he was unlucky enough to not dodge one of the spinning wheels knocking him to the floor. A wail escaped past his lips as he winced from the impact the weapon made upon him. Several chuckles were audible enough to be heard from the very room he was running to as he lowered his head to the ground a feeling that remotely resembled to that of embarrassment and shame. A thump to the head was inflicted onto his already bruised head as Axel entered the room where the laughing was coming from. Thinking of reconsidering to eating breakfast, he was stopped in his tracks when a nobody called out to him.

"Yo Demyx! Come on inside before your breakfast gets cold."

An amiable greeting, a sling of a nobody's arm around his shoulders, and a low grumble in his stomach was all that it took for the Melodious Nocturne to head into the kitchen for some food. Inside the overly crowded room was nearly all the members of Organization Thirteen each either stuffing their faces with food, gobble down an abundant amount of food, or simply politely eating their meal with more etiquette than most of the other members. Demyx however, feel into the category of stuffing his face with food.

While some of the members ate more than one serving of food for breakfast every morning, Demyx, Zexion, Larxene, Roxas, and Axel were the five nobodies who barely eat one serving of food each morning. It was no wonder why their bodies were so skinny than the other members of the Organization.

Lifting his fork from the side of his plate, Demyx dug into his plate of eggs, bacon, and hash browns. Enjoying how tasty his meal was, the sandy-blonde was however oblivious to the evil glare being thrown at him from across the table. With a crazed smirk speared across their visage, the nobody leaned back into their chair stretching their long legs underneath the big table and in one swift kick they successfully kicked the chair backwards making a certain water bender crash into the ground with a loud thump. A painful 'Oww' passed his lips as he scrambled from the floor to see who kicked his chair over. However once he found the culprit responsible for his painful fall, he instantly regretted ever showing up for breakfast.

"Oh did Dem-Dem accidentally fall out of his chair again?"

The sweet nectar like voice made Demyx's skin prickle as he stared in horror at the only female organization member. That vile woman laughed sadistically as she mockingly put her hands on her hips. Swaying her hips left and right in an exotic manner, she went around the table and stopped in front of Demyx's chair. Her lips parted as she gently picked up the boy with her godly strength as she gently whispered in his ear.

"But I know a way to fix it to where you won't be able to fall out of it again."

Magically summoning her knives, she let one press against his throat dangerously. Grimacing from the menacing knife piercing his tanned skin, the nobody clenched his eyes shut awaiting for the girl to finish him off. However what happened next was something Demyx should've expected to happen. One second he was seeing his nonexistent life flash before his life, and the next second was when a gun was aimed at the girl's temple with a demanding voice booming from his savior's mouth.

"Enough Larx leave the kid alone!"

The gun was cocked ready to put a nice bullet into her skull before the girl growled and obeyed the gun welder. Glancing at Demyx briefly, she screamed into his face.

"You won't have your bodyguard around you forever." The enraged female screeched as she removed her knife away from Number IX's throat before she disappeared in a puff of smoke.

Moments transpired before the boy began to breath again as he took shaky breaths of air into his lungs. Scared from nearly having a near death experience, Xigbar opened a portal up in order to put his gun away before he embraced the shivering nobody. His tremors subsided soon after as Number II released his hold on Number IX as they both went back to their breakfast. But before the poor nobody could even put his fork with food on it in his mouth, the Superior spoke to everyone still remaining at the table.

"My fellow Nobodies, I believe it is time that we have a meeting regarding our plans on Kingdom Hearts." In a flash the Superior was gone as everyone groaned at not finishing their meal. One by one the nobodies disappeared into their own black portals as the last remaining nobody stared at the place where Demyx had been. Shaking his unruly red spiky hair, the nobody as well disappeared into a portal of his own without another thought of the Melodious Nocturne.

(Rewind to the beginning of breakfast in Axel's prove)

As all of this unfortunate befall Demyx, Axel on the other hand was also not having a wondrous time with his buddy Roxas. After his assault on the water bender, Axel refrained from taking his usual spot across from Larxene as he instead found an empty chair near Number XIII which earned him an evil glare from the female member in which case he chose to ignore. Smiling to himself for his luck, he plopped himself down in the seat as he greeted the usually brooding nobody.

"Hello there Roxy did you have a nice sleep?"

No answers were spoken as Axel sighed. He figured he wouldn't get a response from the young nobody, but he was unwilling to give him. Deciding to change the subject, he placed his elbow on the table propping his head up by having his hand support him.

"How are you liking Castle Oblivion?"

Still not a single utter of a peep came from the boy's lips as he silently eat his meal in front of him. Having a feeling that closely resembled loneliness, Axel decided to try again later as he finally began to pick and eat at his food. Though the nobody took only a few bits of his food before he heard an uproar coming from the direction to his right. Peering over the many heads of the organization members, he blanched when he saw Larxene picking on Demyx.

He saw how her hips swayed left and right in that seductive way she would always do to him as she picked up the poor kid pressing one of her knives to his throat. Not understanding what his body was doing, he rose from his seat about ready to teach the girl a lesson when he spotted Number II hold his weapon dangerously to her temple. Words were exchanged as she released her prey before disappearing in a dark portal.

It was then seconds later did Demyx break down in front of the majority of the organization. A sharp pain flowed through Axel's body as he stared at the nobody on the ground being comforted by Xigbar. Maybe it was the feeling of guilt for switching seats with Demyx or maybe it was jealousy from Xigbar supporting him, but whatever it was Axel ignored the odd feeling like thing as the Superior's voice break through everyone's thoughts in the room as one by one everyone went to the meeting room. Glancing in the place where Demyx was but seconds ago, the red head left the room without another thought lingering on the nobody.

mmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm

As everyone made their way to The Hall That Never Was, Axel was surprised to find that

he wasn't the only nobody to arrive to the meeting room late which was unusual for him. While he situated himself on his high chair, he spotted Larxene walk in the room with a satisfied smirk on her countenance as she approached her chair. Mentally Axel rolled his eyes at her merriment figuring that the Savage Nymph had her fun with another nobody. It was but moments later Number VIII received his answer as he saw Vexen arrive late while muttering incoherent things to himself about one thing or another. Obviously Number VI was so lost in his own world to notice the weird stares he was receiving from the other organization members.

Five minutes later after Vexen plopped down into his seat was when the Superior decided to make his grand entry by teleporting himself to his chair. The instant that the smoke cleared everyone's eyes averted toward Number I. Even the sometimes rebellious Axel had his attention on the Superior although his thoughts were miles away elsewhere. One thought that crossed his mind was how Xemnas would always arrive late to his meetings when he was always the first to leave. This thought made Axel cringed from disgust as he finally brought his attention back to the meeting. However as soon as the Flurry of Dancing Flames caught tail end of Xemnas's speech was when Axel believed he should contribute something to the conversation.

"Oh come on Xemnas, you have been saying that for the past couple of years. How much longer are we going to wait?"

All eyes landed on Axel's body as the red head felt a bit uneasy from everyone's stares. But being the laidback kind of nobody he was, he simply shrugged off their stares as he faced Xemnas. However what Axel didn't realize was that the Superior would be throwing him an question that he himself could not answer.

"So what is your take on this Number VIII?" Xemnas asked while he raised a silver-white eyebrow in Axel's direction who only sighed.

'Damn I should have seen this coming from Xemnas.' Cursing profanities inside his cranium, Axel wished at that second that he wasn't called upon to answer a complex question. Whacking his brain for anything that would be helpful or useful in order to obtain a heart for everyone, his mind came out blank as he resorted to simply telling his Superior he did not know and ask Xemnas with another question instead.

"I have no real answer for your question but may I ask? Isn't there another way of achieving our goal than with just Kingdom Hearts?"

Silence had made its presence in The Hall That Never Was as each and every member pondered on Number VIII's question. Even Axel himself was surprised that received such a response from every organization member.

(Before the meeting Demyx's prove)

As the water bender entered the meeting room, Demyx had already pulled himself together preparing himself for another long and boring meeting. While he sat in his high chair waiting for everyone to show up, he was shocked to see that the fire bender wasn't present just yet. In fact, he also noticed that Larxene, Vexen, and the Superior wasn't there yet. Although he wasn't concerned about the Superior's, Larxene's, and Vexen's absence, he however was wondering where Axel was.

Normally Number VIII would come to the meetings early, so early that barely anyone would be there. But as Demyx pondered on that thought his face cracked into a smile as he thought of Axel. Finding it rather humorous that no matter how rebellious the Flurry of Dancing Flames could be, the fire bender would make an effort to arrive early to nearly every meeting that Xemnas has ever held. Maybe it was his way to prove that he was responsible and an important excess to Organization Thirteen Demyx didn't know for sure, but whatever the reason it was Demyx was glad that Axel was there for the organization and only wished that he could do the same as well.

Fortunately for Demyx, the sandy-blonde saw the redhead transport himself to the meeting room before the Superior could get here himself. A sigh escaped passed his lips as a moment of relief was bestowed to the musician. But just as soon as relief had nestled itself in a cozy nest, it was immediately gone replaced with horror instead upon one of the absent nobodies entering The Hall That Never Was.

A sinister smirk, a pair of blue-green irises, and blond hair that resembled two small arches was all the details Demyx needed to see to know who the nobody was. As the girl nobody made her way to her chair with an air of accomplishment, Demyx had cringed with fear remembering the situation that happen between the two earlier that day.

Another second went by as the doors to The Hall That Never Was opened as the Chilly Academic marched into the room breaking the musician out of his thoughts. As Demyx peered down at Number IV, he noticed how Vexen's lips would move continuously as he pasted Demyx to get to his seat. Chuckling to himself, Demyx found it funny how Vexen would sometimes get lost inside his own little world while doing ordinary things like going to his chair in the meeting room. Though at the same time, Demyx was also quite impressed that Vexen could ponder over something and still be able to maintain simple tasks with ease.

As the members waited for another five minutes, their leader then arrived in the room in the same old fashion he would always do by teleporting himself to his chair. Once the meeting had initiated everyone's one full attention was focused on Number I. Well at least that was what everyone assumed.

While Axel was off in dreamland, Demyx as well had his mind elsewhere from the current meeting going on. However his daydreaming didn't last long before a certain redhead spoke to Xemnas. But unlike most nobodies who conversed with Number I, Axel was one of the very first to actually question their leader about Kingdom Hearts. Silence quieted the entire room as everyone pondered on what Axel had said. Even Demyx who hardly ever put much thought about what Kingdom Hearts is and how it will get them their hearts, now really questioned what other methods could be done in order to get them a heart.

It wasn't until Number II broke everyone out of their thoughts did everyone begin bringing their own opinions to Xemnas including Number IX. Of course this didn't settle well with the Superior who always had all the organization members thinking solely about Kingdom Hearts. But still though, it made Number VIII flattered to know that he wasn't the only one who actually wanted to reconsider a different plan in order to obtain their hearts. What was even more flattering for the fire starter however was when he heard Demyx speak on his behave. Axel made sure to pay close attention to the sandy-blonde nobody who never spoke out in meetings nor spoke out for anything for that matter.

But as the meeting progressed, Axel had once again tuned out of it as his attention this time was focused on the youngest member of the organization. Seeing how bored and uninterested Number XIII was when he answered their leader's question, Number VIII made a mental note to talk to Roxas about this once the meeting has come to an end.

Luckily for Axel, the meeting came to an end when Xemnas found that no one was really discussing their goal Kingdom Hearts nor seem to care about it at the moment. As the meeting came to an adjourn, Axel immediately stalked the young blonde. But unfortunately, Roxas didn't like the older nobody being his shadow. Growing more and more furious by the second, Number XIII stopped walking in order to turn around and face Axel. But from the location where he stopped, it was odd that the two somehow ended up in front of the pyromaniac's room.

"Why do have to stalk me?" Roxas's voice broke out of the silence as the redhead winced from the sheer loudness of the teen's voice. Lowering his gaze to meet Number XIII's gaze, he told him his answer.

"I'm just following you because I wanted to know why you do not participate with meetings or with any of the organization members."

A crowd of nobodies was forming as Roxas averted his eyes away from the pyromaniac to the crowd itself. It wasn't long before the boy felt or rather assumed he had the feeling of embarrassment swell up inside of him as he turned to the older nobody. Making a gesture to the room behind him, Axel easily deciphered what the blonde spiky haired youth was referring to as the two entered the room leaving the group of nobodies out in the corridor. All had left but only one nobody who accidentally stumbled upon the scene stayed as he eavesdropped on the boy's conversation courteously of the two nobodies leaving the door wide open.

However once they were inside Axel's room, no sound was made. Awkwardness had settled in place of the silence as the two nobodies stared off into space. While one nobody was trying to find a best way to avoid the conversation that the other wanted to hear, the other was trying to find a great way to strike up a conversation in order to get the other nobody to feel more comfortable inside Castle Oblivion. But the more quiet it became between the two of them, the more Roxas grew irritated until he couldn't take it no more. Clenching and unclenching his fists, the Key of Destiny stood his ground and finally decided to speak.

"You want to know why I don't participate in meetings or socialize with any of the members?" Turning to the redhead, he received a nod from him as he continued. "The reason for that is because I don't know anything about this world or anything about myself, so that's why I don't want to be around you or any of the nobodies." Looking up from the ground, he stared into Axel's emerald hues. "Are you satisfied now?"

Grief held tightly on Axel's nonexistent heart as he stared at Roxas. It wasn't long until his sadness was replaced with uncontrollable anger. Confusion clouded his mind as he contemplated on what Roxas had said to him. But the more he thought of what the spiky haired blonde had said, the more confused he became.

"But why do you distance yourself from us? Are we not allies?"

As abrupt as his question was asked, the young nobody's anger heightened toward the redhead. Irritated for the Flurry of Dancing Flame's obnoxious pestering, Number XIII stomped his foot down on Axel's red carpet as he roared out his response.

"ARE YOU STUPID OR SOMETHING? HAVEN'T I ALREADY TOLD YOU MY ANSWER? WHY SHOULD I REPEAT MY ANSWER TO AN INCOMPETENT NOBODY?" Rolling his electric blue irises at Number VIII, he created a dark portal as he left the room with Axel inside of it.

The nobody that was left behind merely "hmpthed" at the Key of Destiny's actions as he plopped himself down on his bed. As he made himself comfortable on his bed, Axel's gaze was in the place where Roxas had been just seconds ago. And in Axel's intense gaze was a distinct emotion that closely resembled passion in them.

(Demyx's point of view during the rest of the meeting and afterwards)

After the fiasco with the Superior, Demyx decided it was best to stay out of the rest of the conversations as he seat back and listened in and out of everyone's conversations. Like Axel, the water bender found it rather boring to hear everyone's opinions on the matter concerning Kingdom Hearts but at the same time, he found himself laughing at some of the responses some of the members had said.

But as the meeting progressed and finally ended, Number IX had found himself in the mist of falling asleep. Though when he at last brought his attention to the meeting at hand, he noticed that the rest of the members either teleported away or used the doors to exit. Pondering for a second on where he should go, his stomach gave him the answer he needed. Deciding to use a dark portal, he exited The Hall That Never Was and made his way to the kitchen.

Upon opening the dark portal, he looked around finding himself just outside the scullery. Images of this morning resurfaced through his mind as Demyx resisted the urge to swallow the lump in his throat. Straightening up his back, the musician marched into the kitchen that lead to the dinning room where he expected his food from this morning still awaited. However once he reached the table and spotted the place where he was sitting in this morning, he noticed that his plate held no food and in place of the food were crumbs. Averting his gaze to the other plates on the table, he realized that they were all eaten from and only crumbs had remained.

Shocked that all the food was gone and depressed that his stomach was empty, he decided he was going to eat something else. Reentering the kitchen, he searched through the pantries for some snacks. After rummaging through a couple pantries, he spotted the snacks that he was looking for. A smile graced his face as he retrieved his precious snacks. But just as soon as he broke the seal to the snacks, they were instantly taken away from him and in front of the Melodious Nocturne was a menacing looking Number III.

"How dare you eat junk food when you just ate breakfast. Is my cooking not nourishing and appealing to your taste buds?" Gripping the bag of goodies in his grasp, Demyx starred in horror at the mistreatment his snacks were receiving.

"B-But I didn't get to finish my food because it was gone by the time I came back." Trying desperately to get his goodies back, his attempts were futile because Xaldin raised the snacks higher so that they were out of his reach. With the other hand, he jabbed the poor nobody in the chest as he barked into Demyx's visage.

"Silence, you dare lie to Number III?"

Demyx winced from not only the sheer volume of Xaldin's voice, but also from the sharp jab his chest received from the stronger nobody. Shrinking back from Xaldin's massive towering body, Number IX decided it was best to leave. Slowly he moved his body backwards cautiously to not only try to escape, but to also not alert the big nobody that he was departing. Alas his actions were immediately noticed by the angered Whirlwind Lancer who summoned his lances prepared to slice and chop poor Demyx into little tiny pieces.

"Where do you think your going?"

Flinching from the sudden roar, the water bender who was infamous for being known as cowardly created a portal just as soon as one of six lances was hurled his way. And with a last call, the musician heard Xaldin say something about Demyx not having dinner before he disappeared from the scullery completely and entering into the safe location in which he called his bedroom.

Minutes passed as Demyx patiently waited for the destruction of Xaldin's wrath to die down from outside of his door. Silently thanking Xemnas for installing element barriers for everyone's rooms, the Melodious Nocturne finally released the breath that he did not know that he was holding out once he heard no more disturbance from Number III. In and out, Demyx took slow intakes and outtakes breath out of his body as he began to find relieve from the absence of the Whirlwind Lancer's presence.

Another moment slide on by as Number IX prepared himself in order to open his bedroom door. Cautiously turning the doorknob, his aquamarine hues searched for any sign of the wind bender's presence. Upon cracking the door further, he realized there was not even a trace of the black haired nobody. Smiling to himself, the sandy-blonde nobody opened the door all the way happy that there was no longer a nobody chasing him.

Feeling like the situation called for a celebration, he summoned his sitar in order to do just that. His gloved hands moved across the surface of his string instrument admiring its beauty before they slide across the instrument's strings hearing the pleasant sound that resounded from the very sitar itself. His smile widened as his hands seem to become possessed by the said instrument as they plucked the strings over and over. Higher and higher the notes carried along as a strange and haunting tone emitted from the weapon that the water bender used in battle. It was then that the nobody began to sing. At first it was soft then it grew louder and then finally his voice turned merry as well as the beat being played on the sitar. As the singing and strumming progressed, his eyes gleamed with an emotion that closely resembled that of a dedicated and passionate musician. Unknown to the lone singing nobody, another had eavesdropped on his little concert before disappearing out of sight.

A hour had transpired as both Axel and Demyx had remained in their bedrooms and away from any nobody contact. Unaware of a certain scheme an ashy-blonde had up his sleeve, they were also oblivious that a certain behemoth was on a mission to retrieve the two for the new project. And it's first victim was the musician Demyx.

Teleporting himself into Number IX's bedroom, the smaller nobody screamed at the sudden appearance of Lexaeus. His sitar that he was holding immediately vanished from his grasp as his body clumsily fell off of his bed. Startled by the guest he acquired, Demyx was thankful at the moment to not possess a heart. For if he had one, he was sure he would've died due to Number V's random appearance.

"Lexaeus w-what are you doing here?" Trying to maintain some kind of composure, the sandy-blonde shakily stood up from the place where his body landed on the carpet as his lips slightly quivered. Demyx's act of "bravery" did not even make the giant flinch as he just grabbed the slim nobody and ordering him to come.

Struggling a bit in his hold, Demyx wasn't too comfortable about being man handled. Yanking, twisting, and turning his body every which way, he was unaware of the dark portal swallowing him and Number V's bodies until it was too late. Clasping his eyes shut, he shivered as the cold transportation of darkness made a rip through time and space before arriving to the other location. Expecting he was at the place where the giant wanted to desperately take him, he peered through the slits of his eyes only to find in his field of vision red. Puzzled by the bright color he saw before him, he strained his eyes more to see only to find a peeved redhead.

"What the hell are you doing here Number V?"

Axel's voice pierced through Demyx's shock and weariness as Number IX finally found his voice to speak.

"Axel?"

Averting his emerald hue's to the sandy-blonde in his grasp, Axel was a bit taken back seeing Lexaeus having a hold of Demyx.

"Demyx what the heck are you doing with Lexaeus?"

The mullet haired youth chuckled to himself as he asked himself that very same question. Why would Number V want him? He knew never to mess with any of the huge bulking nobodies in the organization so why was he captured and in the arms of the Silent Hero? Was today one of his most unluckiest of days for the sandy-blonde in order to invoke the wrath of so many nobodies including Axel? Probably so. But bringing himself from his thoughts, Demyx gave Axel an answer.

"That's what I want to know."

This was however not the answer Axel was expecting. Like the flames from a blazing fire, Number VIII's anger rose due to the confusing situation. Getting into the same stance as he did earlier that day, he summoned his chakras prepared to beat Number V up if he wasn't going to receive any answers.

"Now let me ask you one more time, what are you doing here Lexaeus?"

Again he got no response from the Silent Hero who looked as impassive as usual. This only further irritated the redhead who chunked his weapons and the defensive-less nobody. Seeing the spinning hell wheels heading in his direction, Number V merely dodged the duo weapons as his captive shrieked. The weapons soon returned to their owner as he held them above his head and slightly heaved from the abrupt exercise.

"Damn it!"

Axel screamed as flames immediately surrounded them this only caused the water bender to groan. And it was then at that precise moment when Axel began his assault on Lexaeus. Slashing and throwing his weapons every which way in order to at least graze Number V, he was also wearing his body down at the same time. His breaths became more deep as he continued to attack him. However in the end, the one that was left standing and being victorious was the Silent Hero with Demyx putting out the flames. And it was at the Flurry of Dancing Flame's weaken state was when Lexaeus decided to struck.

Scooping up the tired fire bender's body, Lexaeus made another portal of darkness as he now carried two captives. A slight ghost of a smile appeared on his visage before it disappeared out of sight upon exiting the portal. And what greeted the trio was two other nobodies each with a pleasing smile on their faces. Both seemed amiable but even Demyx and Axel knew never to trust them. Approaching the kidnapped nobodies, one of the nobodies stretched out his hand toward the two with a psychotic grin.

"Hello gentlemen. I believe we have much to discuss about the plans me, Zexion, and Lexaeus have in store for you two."

End!

Just Kidding!

eeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee

Well there you have it folks, the end to chapter three is finally here and updated. I hope you guys enjoy this story and are looking forward to the following chapter. I hope I didn't offend anyone by having poor Demyx being tortured by quite a few nobodies. I'm sorry I couldn't help it but that is how I believe what happens to him nearly every waking day.

And to those out there that was hoping I finally updated my other story I have to say that I am really sorry that I haven't even completed that one just yet. But I got at least half of it done, so hopefully this year I'll finally finish that chapter at least.

But for the other story, I am sad to state that I don't know when I'll update the last chapter, that's right. Behind the Scenes: LeafeKnights will be concluding soon once I decide when I want to do that chapter. So sorry guys.

Well until next time, I hope to hear from you guys for this story and be on the look out for the next chapter coming soon called "The Discussion"

Until next time everyone Ja'ne!
