A/N: First of all one thing that seems to be forgotten quite oftenly by me. I don't own the character or the places. Just the idea of the story. And if I forget to write this again, I've written it up to my profile so it's at least there.
So first of all I'm sorry for long whiles before updating but the least is that I'll get one review for a chapter that I'd keep on updating. Thanks.
This prank idea is from MizzMorris. Thank You!

Enchanting Tunes
Demyx was sitting at the living room and playing a soft melody on his Sitar. He was more than relaxed for quite some time. The last week had been hard on the young musician but finally he was able to concentrate fully on playing his beloved Sitar.
The song he was playing was something new. He had come up with it just few days ago and finally was having time to try it out. Demyx sighed happily while letting his hands fly across the strings... Yet, he didn't have even littlest idea about the effects of his new song.
Zexion was at his room and tried to read the thick book he had taken just at that morning. The Schemer couldn't concentrate on the book since, even though Demyx tried to be quiet, Zexion did hear the song fully to his room. Sighing, the illusionist closed the book after marking his place and left towards the living room.
He managed to walk right in front of Demyx when something changed. Zexion blinked few times but couldn't figure out what was so out of it. "Nine." He called and Demyx opened his eyes but didn't stop playing.
"Yeah, Zexy?" The musician questioned nicely. Zexion was quiet for a while just listening to the beautiful tune. "Zexion?" Demyx questioned little puzzled since the Schemer had never acted like this before.
Zexion blinked few times and smiled. "I was just wondering if you needed something." He finally replied. Demyx blinked few times in confusion but shook his head.
"Well, if you'd be so nice I could want a glass of hot chocolate." Demyx said with a small grin. Zexion nodded and left. Demyx shrugged. He was quite sure that Zexion was just playing with him but he was fully surprised when the Schemer came back with the drink.
"Here." The illusionist said while handing the drink to the musician. Demyx blinked in slight shock but accepted the drink.
"Um... Thanks..." He whispered and put carefully his Sitar down. Zexion blinked few times and stared at Demyx for a while. Demyx blinked at Zexion few times in confusion. "Zexy?" He questioned.
Zexion scowled. "Don't call me that." He stated before crossing his arms. "I came here to tell you to be quiet. I'm trying to read." The Schemer half snapped. Demyx was slightly startled but he nodded.
"Uh... Sorry..." The musician muttered little hesitantly. Zexion snorted and left the room. Demyx watched quite confused after the illusionist. "That was weird..." He whispered before putting his drink down and taking his Sitar back to his arms. "Anyway, gotta continue..."
The Nocturne closed his eyes again and continued his playing. That little incident was quite soon forgotten... But it sure wasn't the only thing to happen.
Unknown to Demyx, Marluxia had watched at the scene. He wasn't fully sure about things yet but was sure to figure it out. The flower wielder left his place with a grin. The pink haired male went straight to annoy Saïx. It didn't take long before the Diviner was chasing Marluxia through the castle.
Demyx kept on playing but watched little confused how Marluxia ran past him. The musician shrugged until Saïx came to the living room. "Nine, do you know where Eleven is?" The Diviner questioned. Demyx blinked few times but didn't have time to reply before Saïx already changed his attitude.
"Ah, forgive me... I was actually wondering if you needed something." The Diviner questioned with a smile. Demyx stated at him quite shocked but managed to shook his head. Saïx nodded and left the room real calm. Demyx frowned but couldn't figure things out.
"Demyx..." Marluxia called while walking into the room from opposite way than where Saïx had gone to. Demyx turned to look at the flowerist with puzzled look on his face. "I think you've found a new ability." Marluxia continued while sitting on the arm chair close to Demyx's place.
"What do you mean?" Demyx questioned while slightly tilting his head to side. Marluxia chuckled.
"I've watched you play for some time. I think you can enchant people to do what you want with that new tune you've created." The assassin explained.
Demyx frowned. "How so?"
Marluxia laughed but grinned widely. "You tamed both Zexion and Saïx while you played that tune."
"Oh... I did notice something to be different..." Demyx whispered but brightened up quite soon. "This is so great! I gotta get this mastered!" He half shouted. Marluxia nodded.
"I agree with that fully... Listen, could you actually do one little thing for me, Dem?" The Assassin questioned. Demyx nodded eagerly. "Good... Listen, it's about Axel. He's burned my garden once again and I'd love to get back at him."
Demyx frowned a little. Sure, he knew that Axel loved to burn Marluxia's garden to ground every once in a while but he wasn't too happy to go against his friend. "What do you got for him?" The Nocturne questioned little warily.
Marluxia chuckled and shook his head. "It's nothing bad. Just a slight prank on him." He replied nonchalantly. Demyx still wasn't sure about the idea. "Don't worry. It's seriously easy thing. I just want you to enchant Axel to get on a little date with me. We'd just take few pictures and that's it." He explained.
Demyx wondered for a while. "What's gonna happen on the date?" He questioned still wary about the situation.
"Nothing bad. Maybe a kiss but that's all." Marluxia said. Demyx sighed.
"Fine. But how can we be sure you're not going to be enchanted too?" Demyx questioned little puzzled. Marluxia laughed.
"Don't worry about that. I got everything covered." He stated before standing up. "I'll see you and Axel at my room after two hours, OK?" The flowerist questioned and Demyx only nodded. "Good. See you then."
Once Marluxia was out of the room, Demyx started to wonder what he had gotten himself into. Sighing, Demyx started to play again. He had to master the song before starting to try and enchant Axel into anything.
Hour later the young musician started to search for his friend. The redhead was actually quite easy to find since he was nearly always training. Demyx knocked tentatively on the eight training room. "Axel?" He called while opening the door and peeking inside.
The Flurry was sitting in middle of dimly lit room with several fire balls surrounding him. Demyx watched quite awed for a while before clearing his throat to get the Flurry's attention. Axel's head jerked up to see the intruder. "Sorry to bother but I was wondering if you wanted to help me on one thing..." Demyx whispered little ashamed.
Axel chuckled, dismissed the fires and walked to his friend. "Sure, I'll help. What's the problem?" The fire wielder questioned with a smile. Demyx blushed a little.
"Well... I was wondering if you'd like to listen to one of my songs and tell what you like about it..." Demyx whispered. Axel tilted his head a little with a grin but nodded.
"Sure thing, Dem. Where you want to play it?" He replied. Demyx smiled and raised his gaze to the Flurry. Axel chuckled a little. It was always so easy to get the Nocturne to smile.
"My room!" Demyx chirped and started to drag the Flurry through the corridors. Axel chuckled but followed the musician. Once at the Nocturne's room, Demyx sat to the floor and positioned the Sitar in his lap. Axel sat to the bed and watched Demyx's skilled hands fly on the strings expertly. The Flurry always loved to listen Demyx's playing.
Demyx started the song slowly. He didn't want to enchant Axel straight off and besides, he was having lot of time on his hands. Axel closed his eyes and listened intently to the song. With the time running past, Demyx started to little by little increase the pace of the song.
Just five minutes before two hours were up, Demyx stood up and walked out of his room. Axel followed the Nocturne in trance. Demyx took few dance steps while heading towards Marluxia's room.
Marluxia heard the music and grinned. He finally had a chance against the Flurry. It would be so cool not just humiliate the fire wielder by going on date with him but also to tell off that the Nocturne was along the prank.
"So... Shall we go, Axey?" Marluxia questioned grinning from the redheaded fire wielder. The Flurry glanced to Demyx who only nodded.
"As you wish..." Axel whispered and before he could do anything else, Marluxia was already dragging him through a dark portal. Demyx sighed but followed the duo. The Assassin kept on talking and the Flurry answered but he always glanced first to the musician. Marluxia didn't care of that little thing. He had a tape recorder along and he was willing to humiliate the Flurry fully.
After some time they came to a small cafeteria. Demyx declined from Marluxia's offer but the Assassin didn't take no from Axel. They spend some half an hour at there before Marluxia was ready to leave.
The flowerist took out a camera and leaned closer to Axel. He didn't take pictures. Oh no, he had the camera on video. Grinning, Marluxia half forced the Flurry to kiss. Demyx didn't watch. He was already feeling bad enough of the whole situation.
Once they came back to the castle, Demyx didn't wait. He stopped playing and half dragged the Flurry out of Marluxia's room. "He'll never forgive me..." Demyx thought while bringing them to the Flurry's room. "Axel... You awake?" Demyx questioned little worriedly.
Axel blinked few times and shook his head. "Um... Sorry, I think I fell asleep..." He whispered little hesitantly. Demyx sighed and sat down to the floor. Axel frowned slightly when he recognized his room. "Weren't we at your room when we started?" He questioned. Demyx gulped.
"You're not gonna forgive me this..." The Nocturne whispered sadly. "I let Marluxia pull idiotic prank on you..." He continued without meeting Axel's gaze. The Flurry frowned even deeper. Demyx took once a deep breath and raised his sad gaze to the Flurry.
"I... The song... I named it Enchanter. Marluxia noticed that I could get people under a spell and get them to do what I wanted..." Demyx started sadly. "He said he wanted a slight revenge since you've burned his garden."
"Okay... There's this little thing that I haven't done that for, like, three months." Axel stated still confused. Demyx blinked few times before slightly blushing.
"A while ago won't be like some three months, now is it?" He questioned and Axel shook his head. "Um... Marlu took you out to a date and kissed you..." Demyx continued hesitantly.
Axel blinked in slight shock. "He did what?!" The Flurry nearly screamed. "And you freaking let him, huh?" He continued while getting angry. Demyx flinched and started to slightly tremble.
"I... I..." Demyx stuttered and gulped. He slowly took out a camera and gave it Axel. "You might want to get rid of that before Marluxia notices." He whispered quietly. Axel blinked in surprise while taking the camera. "I managed to take it when we returned back here..."
"Why did you go along with his prank, Dem?" Axel questioned slightly confused. Demyx shrugged.
"I don't know... I just did..." He whispered and stood up. "I'd better go... I'm sure I've done enough of damage already..." Demyx continued with slightly trembling voice. Axel blinked at him before noticing the tears that threatened to fall.
"Demy..." The Flurry whispered and before Demyx had chance of leaving the room, Axel already hugged him. "It's OK, Dem... You gave Marluxia what he wanted but yet, you took the evidence away from him..." He whispered.
Demyx trembled in his arms while trying to fight back the tears. "I still did the wrong thing, Ax..." He whispered quietly.
Axel tightened the hug slightly. "It's perfectly fine, Demyx." Axel whispered calmly. Suddenly Demyx broke down and started to cry fully. Axel only tried to sooth him while carefully lowering them both to the floor. "Don't worry, I'll get back at him... And I'll find out how he can be resistant to your song."
Demyx only nodded. "I don't think I deserve this..." He whispered but Axel shook his head.
"Of course you do! We're friends!" He stated straight off. "Besides, like I said, you took the evidence along. Marlu doesn't have anything else than the information. He can't prove it. So, we can play that nothing happened." Axel explained.
Demyx was quiet for a while before slowly nodding. "You're not mad at me?" He questioned slightly worriedly. Axel chuckled.
"Mad? Why would I be mad at you? You were just practicing a new song, that's all." He replied with a grin. Demyx blinked and glanced at Axel slightly confused. Axel smiled at him and gently brushed the tears off of Demyx's face. "Everything's fine, Demy..." He whispered and grinning he burned the camera. "And there goes the evidence..."
Demyx chuckled a little. "I'm glad I didn't ruin anything..." He whispered. Axel laughed a little.
"You never could ruin our friendship, Demmy. Got it memorized?" Axel stated. Demyx chuckled again and nodded. "Good. Now, you can stay over the night if you want... I'm sure Marlu might want to get back at you if he had had something more in his mind than the date and kiss." Axel continued while pulling them both up. Demyx nodded and before Axel could say a word forward, Demyx had already leaped into the Flurry's bed.

A/N: Thanks for reading! If you red this, I'd love it if you left a slight review! Thank You! (Even flames are accepted! Though, those are going for Axel's amusement or then for Demyx to practice on. Thanks!)
If there's any ideas for pranks, I'd love to hear those so I could keep this story going!
