……………….

Two Halves of a Whole

……………………….

"Roxas?"

"Hey, Sora…."

"What's going on?"

"We'll be separated soon."

"What do you mean?"

Chuckle.

"You'll see, Sora. We'll see each other real soon."

"Huh?"

…………………………………………..

"Namine!"

"Kairi, hello."

"How can I see you?"

"Oh, you'll understand soon enough."

"Does this have to do with the evil?"

"Kind of, but I have to go now."

"Namine wait!"

……………………………………………

Demyx huffed, placing Sora down on the ground. Jeeze, for a kid, he sure was heavy. Actually, now that he thought of it, Sora was no kid anymore. Sora will grow old and wrinkly, while Demyx will stay the same. Right now Sora was what? 17? Close to Demyx's age; 19. Sora will grow past 19. It kind of made Demyx depressed, to know that he had not lived past his teens. Even Axel was in his twenties. No point on dwelling on that now. He was ageless, end of story.

"I hope they don't get sick." Demyx muttered under his breath. He sat down, between them.

"Well, let's hope this works." Demyx sighed, taking Sora's hand in his left and Kairi's in his right. He was scared. Scared he would die again, scare he would mess Sora and Kairi up. He was scared about the rest of the worlds.

……………………………………………

"Why Crystal Fissure?" Leon snapped, running down the Bailey.

"The crystals give off energy." Xehanort sighed, wings flapping behind him.

"Demyx is not as stupid as looks like. He was part of Organization 13 after all. He knows about the energy, and he'll need it." Xehanort frowned. He figured Demyx would go ahead and go through it. It was something Demyx would do.

…………………………………………….

Demyx closed his eyes, body beginning to glow. He focused on remembering Roxas and Namine. He looked through his mind at the memories he had of them. He remembered Roxas's chestnut hair, all spiked up, his sparkling blue eyes and silly grin.

He could clearly recall Namine's paleness, sparkling violet eyes and short blonde hair.

……………………………………………

"Hey, Demyx! What are you doing?" Axel appeared right next to Demyx. He saw Demyx jump and he could not keep back the chuckle.

"Not funny. Nothing, just reading this book." Demyx shrugged, before looking up at Axel.

"Why? I'm not training with you," Demyx warned, looking at Axel warily.

"I'm too tired to train." Axel waved him off.

"Then what are you doing here?" Demyx raised an eyebrow. Axel usually came around to train, so it was surprising to hear him say he did not want to.

"What? I can't come and see you anymore?" Axel glared at him; clearly hurt. Demyx sighed and placed the book on the table.

"I didn't mean it like that, and you know it. It's just every time you come is because you want something." Demyx looked sternly at Axel, hoping he'll understand.

"Well, not today! Just here to spend time with you." Axle smirked, plopping down on the chair next to Demyx.

"Well, read something then." Demyx motioned to the books on the table, his face adorned by a big, bright smile.

………………………………………………

"There I see him!!" Axel snapped, seeing Demyx's form in between Sora and Kairi. He was fine.

"Wait; don't." Leon grabbed Axel's arm, stopping him from touching Demyx. Leon noticed the bright light surrounding Demyx.

"Look at him; he's glowing." Xehanort stepped forward and raised his hand, motioning them to stop.

"We can't do anything," he sighed. It was all up to Demyx now. He just hoped the kid would pull through.

"What do you mean?" Axel hissed, clearly not happy with that. They had to do something! They could not just leave him!

"If we stop him now, his whole energy may be lost and he will vanish…." Xehanort explained.

"You mean…he'll die?" Yuffie frowned. "I thought he was already dead."

"No, he'll disappeared…..forever…." Xehanort looked at them, checking if they got a message. Axel stood still, hands clenched tightly to his sides, eyes never leaving Demyx's form. Demyx could not leave him, not again. He had left him once; he couldn't bear to see him die again.

……………………………………………….

"Come on Demyx! I've never seen you so worked up about a job," Axel snorted, looking at Demyx as he plopped next to Axel.

"It's not just some job, Axel," Demyx sighed, running a hand through his hair. He was in charge of the savior of the world, which was not just some job.

"Oh?" Axel sat up and leaned on the bed's headboard. He did not see how important this Leon could be. Actually, the more Axel thought about it, he couldn't help but hate this Leon, who had Demyx's attention 24/7.

"No, because this time I get to be a hero." Demyx smiled. His eyes were glazed over as he thought of all the good he could be doing.

"Uh huh, and what is your job again?" Axel raised an eyebrow, clearly not happy.

"You'll understand, later." Demyx smirked, happy that he had something over Axel for the first time.

"Are you making fun of me?" Axel scoffed, eyeing Demyx warily. Well, warily in between checking him out, of course.

"Nope; just stating a fact." Demyx smirked. Axel frowned, before smirking and pulling Demyx into his chest before tickling him.

"Hey!! Hahaha!" Demyx laughed, squirming in Axel's grasp.

"Are you going to tell me?" Axel grinned evilly.

"I can't!" Demyx gasped out, trying to bat Axel's hands away. All of a sudden Demyx turned serious.

"I have to go, I'll be back later." Demyx muttered, he placed a hand on Axel's cheek before vanishing off. Axel sat there looking at the spot Demyx had been sitting.

………………………………………………….

Demyx bit his lip, feeling his energy flow out of him. Some how, every thing felt so far away…. as if he was floating.

"Demyx?"

"Demyx!"

Demyx smiled; he was almost done. He could feel his body weakening, though. As more time passed, he began to feel tired, but he couldn't stop now. He was almost done with the ritual. He had to keep going for Leon….for Axel….he had to make them proud…and he had to protect them…at all costs…

Every one else just looked on in amazement as two blobs of light formed next to Sora and Kairi. The orbs began to change shape, forming into replicas of Sora and Kairi. Slowly, they began to change, little by little, small details changed. Sora and Kairi shined and all of the sudden, the glow was gone and there laid not only Sora and Kairi, but Roxas and Namine. Every body just stood there, unsure of what to do, until Demyx swayed forward. Axel was right there, catching Demyx before he could hit the ground.

Sora groaned, holding his head as he sat up. Kairi followed next.

"Oh god! Demyx! Wake up, Demyx!" Axel shook him. Leon rushed to his side, anguish written all over his face. Aerith rushed over and checked Sora, making sure he was fine. Tifa smiled at Kairi after making sure she was okay.

"He lost too much of his energy. His energy will just keep on diminishing." Xehanort frowned as he placed his hand on Demyx's chest.

"What's going on around here? And where am I?" a groggy voice broke in. Axel's head snapped up. He couldn't believe what he was seeing.

"Roxas." Axel looked into bright blue eyes, his own widening.

"He brought you back," Axel muttered, looking back down at Demyx.

"Who brought us back?" Axel turned and saw Namine there, looking confused as well. Axel just looked down at Demyx, who was beginning to fade.

"Demyx! You can't leave me!! You CAN"T!!!!" Axel was on the verge of breaking down. Leon reached over and took Demyx's hand.

……….

"Leon, what are you doing?" Tifa asked, hesitantly. Leon didn't say anything; he just closed his eyes and concentrated. He was the light bearer, so he could help. He could at least try something. He was not about to let Demyx die, not without trying to help. Demyx had been there for him, so many times. It was his turn to do something. A soft glow began to emanate from him. Every one gasped; as the glow graced them they felt a sudden rush of warmth.

"He is the light bearer; he has the power to push away the darkness," Xehanort muttered.

Leon concentrated hard on Demyx, passing energy down to him. Demyx began to slowly stop fading, beginning to become solid once again.

"Leon…." Cloud called out, warningly. Leon did not want to take a chance though, and kept giving energy to Demyx. If he did not give enough, Demyx would disappear and it all would have been for nothing.

"Leon!" Cloud snapped. Leon gave no indication he heard him. Cloud growled, before reaching over and pulling Leon towards him and breaking the connection with Demyx. Leon gasped, feeling himself grow weak in Cloud's arm. Demyx was still for a few seconds before his chest heaved for air.

"I feel like I had died and got revived once again." Demyx muttered. Axel immediately enveloped him into a crushing hug.

"Don't you ever—EVER—do that again! You hear me?! You got me worried for a minute there!" Axel choked out, face buried in the crook of Demyx's neck. He couldn't stop shaking.

"I'm sorry," Demyx muttered sincerely, wrapping his arms around Axel. Demyx felt himself shake as well.

"Just, be careful next time. I wouldn't make it without you," Axel muttered, moving back. He gently caressed Demyx's cheek. Demyx smiled, a soft blush staining his cheeks.

……

"Sorry to break this loving moment, but we should get back to the quarters," Sephiroth sneered. Axel and Demyx pulled back, faces bright red. Leon groaned, trying his best to stand up. Cloud sighed and gave Leon a hand. Leon huffed, but took it. He tried his best to walk straight, even though the world was trembling under him.

"I think we've missed a lot, huh?" Roxas grinned as Sora helped him up.

"This is going to be weird." Sora scratched the back of his neck, nervously.

"Having me around?" Roxas smirked. Sora nodded.

"Well, I believe it is going to interesting." Kairi shrugged, helping Namine along.

"We can talk all about it once we get back to the house," Axel interjected, picking Demyx up into his arms, and slowly disappearing from sight.

"What the?" Roxas blinked.

"They're still here. You just can't see them," Riku informed him.

"Hey! Get a move on!" Cid called out, for they were already on their way.

………..

Leon managed to walk for a few steps before he couldn't anymore. He felt himself fall, but he was caught once again by a pair of strong arms. He glared up at Cloud, pushing away from him. Leon did not want help; he did not need the help.

"Leon," Cloud began, but Leon just pulled himself up and walked away from Cloud. Cloud growled, annoyed at Leon's stubbornness, or was it that Leon did not want to be touched by Cloud?

Leon could feel his legs tremble under him. He was not going to be weak. He was Leon for heaven's sake! He did not need any one's help. He could do it on his own….fine, maybe Leon did not want to be seen weak in Cloud's eyes. Cloud had already seen him faint once. What would Cloud think if he needed to be helped home? As his luck would have it, his energy gave out. Leon found his legs buckling underneath him.

"Stupid," Cloud hissed, as he once again caught Leon. Leon sighed, realizing there was no use this time. Cloud smirked when Leon went slack in his arms, and immediately swooped Leon up. Leon looked away from Cloud, feeling himself become drowsy.

"You're pretty light," Cloud muttered, shooting a glance down at Leon.

"Shut up. Stop commenting on my eating habits," Leon mumbled. Cloud was really warm. Who was he to say no if Cloud wanted to carry him? Might as well enjoy it while it lasted, right?

"What eating habits? You don't eat at all." Cloud grumbled.

"You're just lucky I'm exhausted. Besides, why in the world am I the one always fainting?" Leon muttered.

"Because you get energy sucked up while I get vitalize," Cloud replied smugly.

"So? Can't you have some over charge or something?" Leon snapped.

"No. Because I am half angel, the energy does not affect me like it does to you." Cloud explained.

"Yes, and one of these days you'll explain to me how come you have a wing." Leon sighed.

"Demanding, aren't we?"

"Yeah, light bearer here, savior of the world," Leon replied smugly. Cloud rolled his eyes, allowing a soft smile to play on his lips. Cid just huffed, opening the door for every one. Cloud nodded in thanks, walking into the house and over to Leon's room. He placed him down but Leon kept a good grip on Cloud. Cloud sighed, but sat down next to him.

"How are you feeling?" Cloud asked, looking down at Leon's pale face.

"Just tired," Leon muttered, snuggling against Cloud.

"You get some rest. I'll be here," Cloud muttered, running his hand through Leon's hair.

"Why are you being so nice?" Leon asked, trying his hardest to stay awake.

"You make the darkness go away," Cloud answered, sincerely. Leon couldn't help but smile, eyes closing as he fell into a deep slumber.

……..

"Hey, are they going out?" Roxas asked, peeking into the room.

"No, at least they haven't made it official with us." Sora shrugged.

"I think they make a cute couple." Namine giggled.

"I know." Kairi grinned.

"I really think we should not be spying on them." Aerith admonished them.

"Then how come you're here too?" Yuffie piped up.

"Well, I for one am glad they finally got together. All the sexual tension gets annoying," Tifa scoffed.

"Would you people leave them alone?" Xehanort hissed, causing every one to jump and turn around, embarrassed. They all filed over to the living room. Xehanort rolled his eyes and closed the door.

…………………………….

"Demyx, are you feeling well?" Axel asked, placing him on his bed.

"Just tired, I guess I have to replenish my energy," Demyx sighed, snuggling into the covers.

"This is the first I've ever heard an angel sleep," Axel teased, lying down next to Demyx.

"There is always a first for everything," Demyx muttered, snuggling up to Axel's warmth.

"Demyx, promise you won't leave me."

"I promise, Axel." Demyx reached over and squeezed Axel's hand.

"Good." Axel smiled, closing his eyes and sleeping along with Demyx.

Demyx smiled, it was no declaration of love, but Demyx understood.
