A/N:The first part came up to me when I thought 'bout people doing too many pranks and what that would lead into. Yet, this one just came off about how they're always told that they don't have feelings and all that.
Disclaimers: I don't own the characters or the places.
This idea was from xFairy-of-Twilightx. Thank you!

Leaving Demyx alone to Halloween Town isn't a good idea
(A.K.A Backfiring prank)
They were standing in middle of Halloween Town. Demyx was slightly trembling but tried not to show that he was scared. Axel was smirking and sighed then: "Listen, Dem. I forgot one thing. Wait here and try to handle the mission." Demyx just nodded and didn't have time to ask about the mission before the red head was already gone. Demyx sighed and looked around.
After a while of checking the place, he left to walk around the town wondering what they were supposed to do there. "Maybe just kill few heartless, I suppose..." Demyx thought while walking around and wishing he didn't crash up with anything at all. Not even with Heartless.
Axel had come back to the castle. He sneaked back to his room just to see that the room was still wet. "Well, an hour or so at that world will teach him not to mess with my room..." Axel thought miserably while checking the damage. If he was lucky, he would have a room to sleep at night but compared to the amount of water... It was highly unlikely. Axel sighed and created a portal to Twilight Town. In there he went straight to the Clock Tower to watch the sunset.
Demyx had during that time crashed up with several trick-or-treaters. And all of them were happier to scare Demyx than ask for a treat. Demyx had nearly run to the end of the town by that. He stopped running and leaned against a wall to catch his breath. "Oh, man, I told them I wasn't the right guy for this!" Demyx thought sadly.
Suddenly ten or so Heartless appeared right in front of Demyx. Demyx stared in fear at the creatures. "This is so not good...." He muttered while starting to run again. The creatures went right after him. After taking a turn to a clearing, three of the creatures appeared right to Demyx's way and the Nocturne fell to the ground. The Heartless didn't wait. They swarmed up on him and Demyx did anything and everything to get those things off of him.
Right after he got back to his feet, Demyx ran again. He hid into a small and dark shaft. Luckily the small creatures ran past him and Demyx sighed in relief. But that was short lived...
Axel checked the clock and portaled back to Halloween Town. "Well, it's time to fetch that scaredy-cat and get the mission done." Axel thought while walking around the town calling for Demyx. "Where the hell he could be?" He started to get slightly worried since he hadn't seen or heard a thing of his friend. Suddenly a scream cut through the air. Axel stopped to his place in shock... Before he ran straight to where the sound came from.
Demyx had a feeling he wasn't alone in the dark place. He had stayed at the door just in case he had to run off again. But he had forgotten to check his back. One of the bigger Heartless crept right behind him. The only thing that Demyx did feel was the sharp pain in his back. And he screamed.
Axel came to the clearing quite fast. "Demyx?" He questioned when the Nocturne staggered out of the small shack. Axel was more than worried when the musician fell to ground and a huge Heartless with bloodied claw came out of the shack. "DEMYX!" Axel shouted, took out his Chakrams and ran straight to his fallen friend while throwing both of his weapons at the offending monster.
The creature was strangely enough easy to get rid of. Once the threat was gone, Axel came to Demyx's side. "Dem, hang in there. I'll get you out of here!" Axel said worriedly while carefully lifting Demyx up. "Shit, I shouldn't have left you here... That was the stupidest thing to do..." Axel muttered slightly angrily.
"You got things done, Ax?" Demyx asked quietly. Axel was slightly startled. "Axel?" Demyx asked worriedly but Axel didn't meet his eyes. Demyx drew away from Axel with some difficulty and in slight uneasiness. "Axel, what did you do?" Demyx asked suspiciously.
Axel sighed. "I left you here without a reason... Well, except that you've flooded my room for the past three days!" Axel snapped right off and looked at Demyx. Demyx was shocked. He stared at Axel and backed off few steps.
"How could you? You know that I'm scared in here! And I haven't been in your room for the past week! I've had a mission for nearly each darn day! How could you do this to me?!?" Demyx shouted while still backing away. He didn't even notice that he had started to cry. Demyx just couldn't believe that Axel could do something like that.
Axel was at loss of words. "Demyx... I..." He sighed and tried to get closer to Demyx but the Nocturne just backed off. "Demyx, please, we gotta get you out of here..." Axel tried carefully but Demyx just shook his head. Suddenly he stopped and looked towards the town. "Demyx, please..." Axel tried again but was cut off by Demyx.
"Shut up!" Demyx snapped and raised his other hand. Axel was shocked. He tried to say something but Demyx just hushed him. "Be quiet and listen..." Demyx hissed, turned around in fear and started to back off. He passed Axel, called out his Sitar and whispered: "I don't like this..." Axel was shocked. He called out his Chakrams and looked towards the same way where Demyx was looking at.
It didn't take long before a huge Heartless came out of hiding. Axel was little shocked. "Never thought them to get that big..." He whispered but readied for the fight. Demyx on the other hand had frozen from fear. Axel glanced once at him, sighed and rolled his eyes before he slapped Demyx. The Nocturne seemed to snap out of it for a while. "I really would like the help in here, you know." Axel stated before he ran to fight the enemy.
Demyx blinked few times but stared in horror as Axel ran to fight. "That's... That's not a good idea..." Demyx whispered but stayed on his spot and watched the fight. Axel seemed to do quite well against the Heartless until the creature managed to strike Axel against a wall of close by house. "Axel!" Demyx shouted in fear but still couldn't force himself to move in into the fight.
Axel stood up slightly shaking but that was as far as he could get. The creature struck him again and Axel hit against a three. Demyx screamed his name again but Axel was too stunned this time to get up again. The creature started to walk towards them.
Demyx looked from Axel to the creature and back. "Axel, get up! Please, get up!" Demyx prayed but realised that the red head wouldn't be up before it would be too late. The Heartless seemed to ignore Demyx fully and was just going to fight against Axel. "NO!" Demyx yelled and ran straight between the creature and Axel.
Demyx ignored the pain in his back and the fear to concentrate in the fight. He played his Sitar as hard as he could but nothing seemed to affect on the creature. The attacks seemed to slow it a little but the Heartless kept on coming.
Axel woke up to the music and stared in slight fear how Demyx was trying to fight against the creature. "Dem?" Axel asked while getting up. Demyx just nodded and tried not to mess up on the music. "Demyx, get the hell out of here! Move! Run off! Do anything but that!" Axel shouted but Demyx didn't listen. And before Axel could do or say a word more, the Heartless had come close enough.
"Oh, shit..." Demyx whispered when he noticed that the creature readied to strike. The hit came fast and hard. Demyx flew through the air and hit the ground hard. The Sitar slid quite far from Demyx. Axel stared in shock and prayed to see Demyx get up but the Nocturne didn't move at all.
"DEMYX!" Axel shouted, ignored the creature and ran straight to his friend. The Sitar had already vanished into water but Demyx still didn't move. "Oh, hell, Dem... Wake up!" Axel yelled while lifting Demyx from the ground. The Nocturne was unconscious which made Axel even more worried. "Don't you dare to die, Dem..." Axel whispered, turned to the creature and shouted: "You'll be dead! I swear to kill you!" After that he created a dark portal and left back to the castle with the unconscious Nocturne.
They came out in Vexen's room. Luckily Vexen happened to be there and Axel explained the whole thing without leaving a thing off. Vexen didn't approve what Axel had done but healing Demyx was more important at the moment. Axel fetched Zexion to help Vexen.
Once the Superior found out about what had happened, the mission was redone. Axel volunteered to handle the mission. Roxas followed him without questions. The mission was just to find out how many and how hard Heartless were at the world. Fighting them never was the deal.
The two of them walked from roof to roof checking the Heartless but Axel was looking for one in particularly. When he did find the creature, he told Roxas to wait there and Axel attacked the creature from behind and high. He jumped straight off to its shoulders, hit his Chakram to the creatures back and slid down. "This is for nearly killing Demyx!" Axel shouted in anger and attacked the Heartless time after time again. Once the creature had gone back to darkness in black smoke, Axel grinned and leaned against the wall. "I told you I'll get you." He whispered and looked up when he heard the sound of dark portal. Roxas came out and didn't look too happy.
"The hell that was about?" Roxas asked slightly angrily. "I though we were supposed to check the amount of Heartless and not kill them!" Roxas shouted. Axel only grinned and portaled back to the roof. Roxas didn't get an answer from the red head but the rest of the mission went well.
Once they returned to the castle, Axel left Roxas to handle the explaining to Superior. The red head went straight off to the Infirmary and sat next to Demyx. Demyx was awake and quite happy to see Axel. "Hey. So, how the mission went?" Demyx asked from him.
"Quite well." Axel replied with a nod. "So, how are you?" Axel asked slightly worriedly.
Demyx grinned and chuckled a little: "Better compared to the time in the Halloween Town." Axel just nodded with a sigh. "You know, Ax... At those times when I have had a chance to sleep in my room, your room has been feeling slightly chilly..." Demyx said musingly. Axel blinked and started to think about it. Now, when he did think about the whole thing, he did recall that his room had been colder than before. He had thought it be about the water but then again...
"God damn it! I really am sorry, Dem. You never were my target and I realise it now." Axel said while understanding who really had been behind the prank. Demyx just shrugged with a slight grin. "Any ideas of getting back at him?" Axel asked cunningly.
Demyx thought for a while and nodded. "Yeah, got one idea but I want to be out of here before you do it." Demyx stated.
Axel nodded: "It's a deal. You tell me what is your plan and I do it only after you're healed and out of this room." Demyx nodded back his approval.

A/N: Hope to get reviews for my story and ideas for pranks. If you don't want it to be Axel and Demyx (or just other one) then, please, tell me who is up to making the prank and who is the victim! Thank you!!
