A/N: I am very sorry for my absense, but life (and romance 3) has caught up with me and sadly has taken me from you. In all honesty I have at least 10 chapters of this story written, but because of the low responses I've been getting I decided to not upload it anymore, because honestly, nobody saying anything says they don't really care (thanks to my ONE reviewer though, it swayed my decision). So anyhow, here's Chapter IV.

Note: The last names of the two introduced characters (you'll know) are not their real last names, just showbiz talk, k? Also forgive any gramatical errors, I uploaded this during class XD. As for my DN Angel fan fiction, thank you all who have reviewed, faved and alerted, there will be a new chapter, it's halfway done, I just need to finish it XP

Chapter IV: Waterlogged Case

It was Tuesday morning and it was the same morning every single day, but Zexion liked the monotonous ways of the town, not like the unbearable heat of the Destiny Islands, or the almost snobbish people of the Radiant Garden. He looked out of his apartment window, with a nice view of the clock tower, he wore his dark blue PJ's, the top open slightly as he let in the morning breeze, he turned around his small apartment: His bed next to him, bed completely made, to his front, on the wall a tall bookcase full of books, mysteries, sci-fi, you name it, he's read them all. A nightstand next to his bed, with a drawer holding his Journal, which he uses to keep track of his life, though he has an almost photographic memory, he seems to forget some things through the passage of time, his dresser of course was in front of his bed, his normal clothes set on top of it neatly "I'm a neat freak, I know…"

He opened the door and wandered through the small hallway, leading to his kitchen, a rice cooker in the corner, shelves, a sink and fridge, which he opened and took out a leftover carton of Chinese food. He took out a portable stovetop and turned it on, putting the food to heat up over it.

He passed on to the living room and turned on the TV, the morning news was on, he turned it up as he did his morning routine: "Hello and Good Morning, Tidus Bluewater here with the morning news, today's top story: a small child was found dead this morning by Sunset Terrace, the autopsy made by the police proves that she was attacked by a rabid animal, her internal organs slashed to pieces; The police chief, Lt. Wallace, has stated for everyone to keep a look-out, to not travel unsupervised, and to try and be inside their houses before sundown…"

"That was quick…" Zexion mumbled, drying his hair.

"In other news it seems something has happened in the Shinra building late last night, one of the patients from their Neural Treatment Facility escaped and is currently in the run. No official statements or information has been made other than this from an unknown source, again, Lt. Wallace advices people to not wander around the town aimlessly and to keep an eye out for anyone out of the ordinary, and that is all for this morning's main story, now we move on to Rikku Sunshine with the weather…"

"Such colorful names…" Zexion rolled his eyes as he ate his leftover Chinese food, simply in jeans and a t-shirt "But…an escaped person from the Shinra building: coincidence? I don't think so…" he took his coat then and left, making sure to put the stove top away, throw out the food carton, clean the plate he used and lock up.

He walked through the streets of uptown Twilight Town, heading toward the train station to head to his agency. He had stopped by Merlin's bookstore and picked up another book which he read through his walk, saying hi to passerby's.

~o~

He finally got to his Agency, after trying not to kill a little boy who kept asking about his hair and his right eye during the train ride, he said good morning to the three people who worked for him, but only one answered.

"Good morning Zexion" said Olette, a local girl with long brown hair and green eyes, who wore a work vest and jeans when she was here, and had volunteered with her friends Pence and Hayner to work for him; he only said yes because of her persistence, that, and Naminé vouched for them "I have your morning coffee and the paper waiting for you in the office"

"Thank you, you're always on the mark in the morning..." he said as he passed her, book still in hand "…Did you remember to get me those book marks?" he asked from his office

"I did, they're looking pretty cool this time" she giggled giving them to him, they were black and white with an odd white symbol on them

"Where are the others?" he asked, sitting down at his small desk

"Pence and Hayner went to check out the town, getting testimonies from the people around town, as well as pictures. You know those two, they want to be your real partners some day" she smiled, Zexion smirked and sighed happily; this was one of the few places he felt at peace, and Olette shared his cleaning habits, so he never had to worry too much, now Hayner and Pence, the two boys; the blonde firecracker and the curious pudgy dark-haired one were trouble, always leaping in head first without thinking, but it was their energy that sometimes kept him going

"All right then, keep your eyes and ears open as well, if Shinra is involved I expect a call…"

"Right" nodded the brown haired girl

~o~

As Noon rolled in, Olette and Zexion dined alone, which was weird since the two boys never passed up free food. Zexion's office was located on the third floor of a multi-business building; it was fairly big place, a small front office with Olette's desk, four waiting chairs and Zexion's office in the back.

"Hey…" a voice said, closing the door behind him.

"Hey Roxas" Olette smiled, blushing slightly "Do you want some sushi?"

"No thanks" he said, monotone.

"Feeling better?" the pale haired man asked "How's your sister?"

"Yes…and no…" he answered, sitting down on Olette's desk "Naminé's fine…"

"Still bummed?" Olette asked "Don't worry Roxas, you'll see him again" "Not too soon I hope…"

"Yeah…thanks…" he said, slumping his head on the desk.

"Damn that Axel for making my Roxas depressed!" the young girl thought, smashing her sushi roll with her chopsticks, Zexion smirked amused, he knew of the girl's crush on the young blonde.

"Hey!" came Hayner's loud voice, wearing his signature camouflage clothes "Guess what we found out!!" he said excitedly "Oh, hey Roxas…" he said, now munching on Olette's sushi "Still bummed?" he asked, getting the finger as a response, the boy just chuckled.

"What is it?" Zexion asked.

"Hayner…wait…up…" Pence panted, he got winded running after his friend.

"Good morning Pence…" Roxas added.

"Can someone please tell me what's going on?" Zexion asked once more.

"Oh yeah! Well, Pence and I were running around town and we went downtown to Sunset Terrace, and the kids around there told use they've been hearing a lot of noises from the Waterway, like ghostly wails and stuff, isn't it awesome?!" Hayner expressed.

"What does that have to do with anything?" their boss added.

"What?! C'mon! Girl got mauled last night, Shinra dude busted out, there has to be a connection!" he yelled, munching another peace of sushi, choking this time "MMFF!!!" Pence and Olette quickly came to his aid, while Zexion went to get his coat; he sighed in relief as he swallowed the thing "Thanks…"

"Let's go you two, Olette…keep Roxas busy…or something" he added.

"Right, boss!" she giggled, smiling widely.

"C'mon Pence!" Hayner ran out, after Zexion.

"More running…" he groaned.

"Bye! Be safe guys!" Olette said, then looked at Roxas "Ohh Roxy…" she giggled.

"Hmmm?" he looked upward and saw the girl, wide grin on her face "Ah, damn…"

~o~

Zexion, Hayner and Pence finally headed into the Waterway, the two boys walked in excitedly as their boss walked behind them, keeping a good eye out. When they came in they quickly rushed into the back.

"You coming?" Hayner asked.

"This is your case, I'm just here as back-up, be careful" he told them with an amused grin, and both of them smiled and ran excitedly inside, Pence snapping pictures the whole way through.

"It's probably just a prank or something anyway" he sighed, taking out his book and sitting near the small canal, as Zexion read his book he began feeling weird, his ears began to feel warm and a sharp pain came to his forehead "What…?"

He began seeing things: a stone house, kids, a woman's face, he felt panic, fear and worn-out, then…nothing. As he tried to compose himself, he saw someone in front of him, close to the wall.

"…Please…don't hurt me," the young blonde man said, his head was downcast and clutched his hair tightly.

"…Who are you?" Zexion asked, cautious but curious.

"I'm sorry…I won't run away anymore…" he sniffed, shaking his head.

"…I haven't hurt you, don't worry," he said, approaching cautiously "Now…be still, I'm only going to…"

"Let me be!!" he yelled, the water rushing through the water way formed into a wall of rushing liquid, while three giant water snakes came out of them, swallowing the young man.

"Damn it…" he cursed "This must be the Shinra runaway…" Zexion raised his hand and pages swirled around his arm, then in a flash of almost non-existant light his lexicon appeared in his hand, open with the pages flowing freely.

"Hey!" Hayner called out, Pence behind "What's going on?!"

"Stay back!" their boss said "Go hide" they both nodded and ran to a corner.

The young man wailed in pain as his nightmares continued, the snakes began to take out their fear on Zexion, pelting him with water.

"Shell!" Zexion called out, a red shield made to stop the elements was made in front of him, but the other two snakes added pressure to it; it began to crack "He's strong…for being mentally unstable he hasn't lost any power…" he then remembered simple chemistry "Of course…" he took down the shield and dodged the water "Thunder!" he called out, the bolt crashing with the water, but the young man yelled in pain, stating: "It hurts! Make it stop!" Zexion hesitated, he didn't mean it, and was taken off guard, getting rammed into the water wall.

"Ugh…not…good…" and again the snakes began to throw water at him "…Blizzard!" he called out; the cold wind froze all the water, but as soon as it froze was as soon as they broke free.

"…No…I won't…I won't let you hurt her!" the blonde yelled out, the water seemingly rushing faster, the snakes hissing at their target.

"Hey boss! What's up with him?" Hayner said.

"Yeah! He seems…well…psycho…" Pence added, snapping another picture.

"Apparently…" he dodged a tail swipe "…Past…" and another "…Trau…AH!" he got smacked against the rushing water "…ma…" he glared at them.

"Sorry" they whispered and went back to their corner.

"I'm sorry…" Zexion groaned, getting up and searching for something in his back pocket "But I believe it's time I ended this…" he took out a tall blue card "…I have some questions for you!" it was a Tarot card, with a blue figure on it; the card was old and torn though "Hope this works…" the lexicon's pages began to flow quickly, energy streaming out "Heed my call Winter Goddess…Freeze my enemies with your cold justice…Shiva, lady of ice come forth!" the card disappeared and in front of Zexion a woman with blue skin, hair and an almost see through bikini appeared "Diamond Dust!" the man called and the female figure froze all of the water with subtle movements of her hands, then with a snap of her fingers broke it all; the Shinra runaway fell to his knees, weak, and all of the water continued it's course "Finally…" he sighed.

"Whoah...dude…" Hayner smiled, totally impressed "What was that?!"

"Awesome! One for the scrapbook" Pence said, taking a picture of Shiva and Zexion before she disappeared.

"A summoning spell, now stay back you two…" he ordered, slowly walking toward the other man.

Zexion knelt down and stared at him, he lay on the ground with his back to him and as he made his way down, Zexion felt a rush go through his face and a blush form on it "…b-b…butt…" he gulped "Um…" he blinked "His…butt is…" he turned the young man over and held him up "H-Hey…" he cleared his throat "Are you all right?" he asked, calm now.

The other stirred slightly and began to open his eyes "…Who…?" he whispered.

"You're all right then…I'm sorry if I was a little rough on you, but, you didn't give me much of a choice…" he smirked.

"Uh…" he slowly opened his eyes then "Am…I in heaven…?" he asked.

"Not quite…" Zexion replied; the young man was stunned, an almost pale skinned man, with lilac hair and the most beautiful blue eye he ever saw "Come on, I'll help you up" Zexion offered his hand and helped the man up, putting his arm around his waist and propping the blonde's right arm over his shoulder.

"T-thanks…" the blonde said, he looked at his new friend fully, his aqua-green eyes greeting him with a smile; Zexion felt as if the ocean that were those eyes would swallow him whole, he was mesmerized, until a slight grumbling snapped him out of it "I-I guess I'm hungry…" he chuckled.

"Dude, we got plenty of food," Hayner added with a smile.

"Say cheese" Pence added, taking another picture.

"What's that for?" his boss asked, slightly annoyed.

"For a job well done" he smiled.

"Whatever…oh…Hayner…" he handed the young man to the boys while he took off his coat and gave it to him "We don't want to be stopped for indecent exposure…"

"R-right…sorry…" he blushed; Hayner snickered, he kinda liked the view.

Again Zexion helped the man walked and said: "Let's go"

As the four of them walked outside, a man watched them from a rooftop, the same man that helped the young blonde escape. He took out his mobile and dialed a number "Well I found him, he wasn't in the woods like you said…In the waterway…No, I cannot bring him, someone found him…Not Shinra…have you seen the local papers?" he seemed to talk to a man with an impatient air, it wasn't Hojo nor Vexen "Yes, that's him, Zexion the local detective…I believe if I were to take him it would cause an unnecessary fuss, besides, don't you want to ultimately meet him too?" the man smirked, unseen by his covered face "Fine then, I'll go back to my regular duties" he put his mobile back and left, the Shinra building his next stop.

~o~

The young detective, his two companions and their unknown friend finally boarded the train back to uptown; it was still early afternoon so most people were at work, no little boy to bother Zexion right now.

Hayner sat in front of the two eldest and began asking the other blonde some questions:

"All right then…" he began, taking out his pen and notebook "What's your name?"

"Um…I…don't…remember…" he stated embarrassingly.

"Oh…ok…um…" he put his pen to his chin while he thought "Do you know where you came from, like your home?"

"Uh…I don't…know…" the blonde lowered his head, tightening his grip on his savior/butt-kicker's hand.

"That's enough Hayner…" Zexion said "…he apparently doesn't remember, there's no need to force the answers out of him, you'd do more damage than good"

"All right…" he pouted, then smirked "So, um…why are you two holding hands?"

"Hmmm?" Zexion quirked his visible eyebrow and noticed, they were "Um…" he then let go, grabbed his book and put his nose into it, blushing madly.

"S-Sorry…" the blonde next to him muttered.

"Q-Quite all right…" the other stuttered; Hayner snickered and elbowed Pence, who smirked.

"Quiet…" Zexion demanded, and everyone did, though the one next to him giggled at that.

~o~

They stopped at Zexion's agency and left the newcomer to sleep on the couch in the back office, while the other's talked about the situation.

"Where's Roxas?" Pence asked.

"He's…" Olette began, but then they heard the toilet flush from the back office bathroom "…in the bathroom"

"Is he ok?" Hayner asked.

"Um, bad sushi…" Olette said.

"More like choked by sushi…" he muttered "Who's the guy on the couch?"

"That's what we're about to discuss…" Zexion said his reading glasses on.

"Um…what's with the glasses?" Roxas began.

"Too much strain on one eye gives me a headache, that's why the glasses, now…" he began"…The young man Hayner, Pence and I found in the Waterway could possibly be the Shinra runaway…"

"Dude! That'd be so cool! Do you think they'd give us a reward?" Hayner cut in.

"I highly doubt it…" Olette sighed.

"May I continue?" Zexion's eye twitched, the other's nodded "All right then…he is unstable right now, mentally speaking, and I highly doubt he's a normal amnesia patient and seeing as he's from Shinra it's not completely odd that he exhibits the powers he did at the waterway…"

"Powers?" Roxas asked.

"Yeah! The guy could like move water around" said Pence excitedly "It was so cool!"

"Anyway…what I'm proposing is for us to keep this quiet, I do not think it would be wise to give him back too soon, who knows what they might do to him? I'd also like to know what's going on in there, if there really is a Neural Treatment Facility and because I simply don't feel comfortable giving him back in the state he's in, I'd like to know what he knows…"

"It's our duty as detectives! Right?" Hayner expressed as he did an air-fist.

"I agree, it sounds intriguing" Olette smiled.

"Ditto!" Pence said.

"But…won't they notice you have him?" Roxas broke in "I mean, they have a file and everything don't they?"

"You're right…what do you suggest?" Zexion asked.

"Leave him to us" Naminé who appeared out of nowhere appeared with a bag full of products "Come on Olette" she grabbed the girls' hand and winked back at them as they closed the door. The young man stretched and looked up at the two girls who grinned widely "He-llo…" he said as he got mauled by the two girls.

"While they do that…" Zexion went on "I'd like you to take this munny and get some clothes for him, he seems to be bigger than me so buy it a little larger, all right?" he handed Hayner and Pence a handful of munny and they ran out muttering something about pot stickers.

"What about me?" Roxas asked.

"You can help me with the filing" he smirked.

"Pass…" Roxas chuckled.

"Ahhh!!!!" the male in the other room yelled, "This is awesome!!!"

"What the…?" Zexion sat up and opened the door while Roxas laughed his ass off "What's going on in here?"

"Hey hey! Look look!" the man expressed, his long dirty blonde hair had been tamed, sort of, he now sported a mohawk/mullet, long in the back, short on top and the sides "Isn't this the coolest thing you've ever seen? Not a mullet, not a mohawk, but both!" he beamed.

"Um…yeah…" Zexion smiled, amused, the other giggled.

"All it takes is scissors, hair gel and a lot of imagination" Naminé said.

"I don't even want to know how you came over here like that…"

"Oh, that's easy" Olette added as she cleaned the hair on the floor "I told her to come over so we could do our hair later"

"Oh…" Zexion said, blinking "What?" he asked the dirty blonde who was kind of into his face.

"Um…I'm kinda hungry…" he admitted shyly.

"All right, Hayner and Pence should be back soon with some clothes for you and then we'll get you something" the other nodded and ran into the bathroom.

"Woo-hoo!" he yelled.

Zexion rolled his eyes, normally he'd be getting a headache right now, too much energy in the room, but, that blonde…he made him feel oddly calm…

~o~

Evening soon came, and the sun was beginning to set as well, the young blonde walked alongside his lilac haired savior along the streets of uptown Twilight Town, where all of the shops were. He wore a light blue t-shirt and jeans, with a blue hooded jacket over him, a wide grin in his face.

"I don't think I've felt this happy or free in a long time" he admitted.

"I'd guess not seeing as where you came from" the man next to him added.

"Hmm? You mean the Waterway?" he cocked his head to his side.

"No…not the…do you remember where you were before that?" Zexion asked.

"Hmm…" the blonde closed his eyes and tried to think, but all he got was a headache "Not really…"

"Are you sure?" he asked again, getting even more curious by the minute, the blonde simply nodded "I see…oh wait, let's stop here" he said suddenly, stopping at Merlin's bookstore once more.

When they entered, the blonde saw to his right a simple desk, but, everywhere else all you could see were shelf after shelf of books of every kind, even on the floor.

"May I help you?" a female voice said, coming from the back "Back for another book Zexion?" she asked.

"Not right now Lulu, I actually have a favor" he said.

"All right then…who's this?" she asked, pointing to the blonde.

"No clue! But I'm hoping to find out!" the blonde said with a smile, the woman blinked.

"I'm guessing he's one of your cases…" she smirked.

"Yeah…" Zexion sighed "…A little too energetic for my tastes though…"

"Aw, c'mon Zexy! You know you like me!" the blonde expressed, draping an over the smaller man's shoulders.

"Did you just call me 'sexy'?" he said, 'die' written all over him with a blush as well, Lulu tried to conceal her amusement.

"No!" he laughed "I'm sorry, it's a nickname! Take out the –on from your name, add a –y instead of an –I, and you get Zexy! Get it?" Zexion's eye twitched fervently as he removed the arm from his shoulders and tried not to kill him.

"I'm here for that new set of Tarot Cards Lu…"

"I thought you might…" the woman said, turning, the beads in her braided hair jingling, as her long black dress flowed as she walked, her top seemingly wanting to pop out, but if it weren't for the corset, it would "…I was playing with them earlier when the Ice goddess suddenly disappeared from her card…" she walked behind the counter and took out a box, then a deck of at least 22 cards, she looked them over and handed them to him "Don't mess these up, I'm not making another deck for you" she scolded.

"I know" he sighed "How much?"

"On the house, seeing you squirm was payment enough" she smiled.

"…Goodbye…" he stated and left, stomping.

"Nice to meet you" the blonde bowed and left, while the woman finally decided to break out in laughter.

~o~

"Did you really have to embarrass me in front of her?" Zexion asked annoyed.

"I'm really sorry, I just couldn't help myself…" he chuckled, walking behind him "Thing is…have you ever felt like…what do you call it? Um…ah! Déjà vu?"

"…Not that I can remember, why?" he turned around this time.

"Well…I get that from you…like, I've met you before…" he stated, Zexion brought his right hand to his chin and took a breath, thinking.

"I don't think so, I think I'd remember you…" he smirked.

"Really?" the blonde with the sea-green eyes smiled.

"Yeah, someone as loud as you isn't easy to forget…" he stated, turning with a sly smile; the blonde gaped at how cold Zexion could be, but even more so on his crude humor.

"Wait up!" he called, almost getting left behind.

They made their way out of the Shopping district to the train station and then to the other side of town. As they came into the large building that was Zexion's apartment, the man at the front desk stopped then.

"Good evening Mister Matsumoto, there's a package for you upstairs" he said.

"Package?" Zexion's visible eyebrow was raised "I'm not expecting anything…"

"Well, someone brought it in and told me to leave it next to your door"

"Who?" the detective asked.

"…I'm…actually not sure…" the man chuckled; Zexion knew the man didn't have a habit of lying, but it was weird nonetheless.

"All right then, thank you" he nodded, the blonde bowed to the man and followed the lilac haired man as they entered the elevator.

"I wonder what you got…" the blonde smiled "…Are you sure you aren't expecting something?"

"I'm sure…" Zexion had his thinking pose on; putting his right arm over his chest and putting his left hand on his chin, trademark-thinking pose.

"Seeing as you like books so much it wouldn't be odd" he chuckled, Zexion was startled by this.

"Why would you say that?" he asked.

"Hmmm…well, you look the type, plus, you've been reading one for a while now, why?"

"No reason…But why can't I help but feel I've done this before? You mentioned déjà vu before, but…"

The elevator stopped at the 3rd floor of the 6-story building and they got out, they walked down the hallway to room 339, and right there was a large object, covered in brown paper with a tag hanging from it.

"This must be it then…grab it will you?" he asked the newcomer as he took out his keys and opened the door; the blonde immediately sat on the couch, eyeing the object curiously "Well?"

"What?" asked the blonde.

"Open it, you seem so excited you open it" Zexion couldn't help but feel somewhat excited, and seeing the childish look on the other's face was refreshing.

"Ok!" the mullet/mohawked one opened the package and exclaimed happily "Do you know what this is?!" in his hand he held a blue colored instrument, a sitar to be exact, he began to play it slowly "It's out of tune" he chuckled, tuning it "This is a sitar, a kind of guitar, I've always dreamed of getting one!" he smiled.

"Dreamed? But…how could you dream about something if you…never mind…" Zexion took the card from the floor; the front said 'To Room 339' he opened the card and only one word was written on it, which he read "Demyx?"

"Yes?" the blonde asked; both of them blinked at each other, Zexion read it once more.

"Demyx…does it sound familiar to you?" the other closed his eyes and held his head, a headache forming; images flashed back and forth in the blonde's head, too quick to analyze.

"Hey, are you all right?" Zexion said, alarmed, he knelt down beside him and shook him.

"…I…" he began.

"Yes? What is it?"

"I think…I'm starting to remember," he said slowly.

"You are?" he looked at the sitar, then at the card "Just from these?" the lilac haired man blinked.

"Yeah…my name is Demyx…I…used to play a sitar in the streets of Radiant Garden…until they kinda kicked me out that is, but I somehow wound up here and in that Waterway…never mind the hospital thing…" he chuckled "Now that I can't remember…" he smiled "But this is great! Who would bring this here?" he said, strumming the instrument.

"How is this possible? How can someone get a hold of a memory simply from a card and an object…unless the object was originally a part of it of course…but…the one who brought this here knew this would happen…meaning…" he suddenly stopped, realizing: "I think we're in danger…" Zexion got up and locked the door quickly, then closed the windows and began looking around.

"Why do you say that?" the blonde, now Demyx, asked.

"Someone brought that here, knowing you'd be here, I think we were followed," he stated, looking straight at 'Demyx'.

"Who would be following me?" Demyx quirked an eyebrow at this.

Zexion looked at him sternly, grabbed him by the shoulders and pinned him to the wall, Demyx whimpered in pain and shock "Are you seriously telling me you have no memory of the time before the Waterway? None whatsoever? You don't even know where you got these powers from?" his visible eye showed rage and disbelief.

"I-I'm sorry! I really am! I just don't know!" the aqua eyed man expressed "I…I…" something snapped suddenly as his eyes seemingly got dilated and he shook violently "D-Don't…make me go back! Please!" he grabbed Zexion now, taking strength from nowhere, and shook him "All those needles and tubes…those hounds!"

"Hounds? It can't be…those things and Shinra?" Zexion thought.

"I want it all to stop…the endless probing…"

"Give me a name…" Zexion asked.

"…My heart…my heart…it hurts!" he kept exclaiming.

"Demyx give me a name! Who did this to you?!" he asked more sternly now.

"…Stop it! Stop it please!"

"A name!" Zexion shouted.

"No heart! He has no heart!!" Demyx simply shouted, before falling on his knees, his head on Zexion's belly "…Shinra's…no heart…" he whispered, crying now.

"…I thought so…you really are the runaway…experimentation on humans…barbaric…" he sighed, petting Demyx's head "I'm sorry Demyx, but, I needed to know…" he let the other sob on him for a while, before moving him to the couch, putting a blanket over his head, leaving the sitar nearby.

~o~

Steam hissed out of Zexion's bathroom as he came out from taking his hot shower, he had gone through every single detail of what he knew and it all lead to Shinra, but, something didn't add up; someone knew Demyx was there, someone knew the card and instrument would cause a reaction, the question is who and why.

"At least it means it won't be just a boring case…and maybe…it will give me the answer I'm looking for," he whispered.

He walked into his room, towel around his waist, when he opened the door and turned on the light, he saw Demyx sleeping soundly on is bed.

"What?!" he grumbled "What is he doing here?"

He walked up to him and shook him, no response "Damn it…it's late and I want to sleep…" he opted to get dressed first, though, the fact of having someone in the room made him nervous, to which he dressed in lighting speed "Now that that's settled…" he was about to take the covers from him when Demyx turned, revealing his peaceful face, striking Zexion in an unknown region of his heart.

The young detective fell back, his heart began to beat unusually quickly, images flashed in his mind and someone spoke him: "H3y I39z0…13t's g0 and p12y! 1 f0und th1s gr32t…0n th3…t0d2y…c'm0n…n0 n33d t0…b3…"

"Who…are…you?" he whispered as he collapsed, his heart slowly getting its rhythm back.
