A/N: I don't own the character or the places. Just the idea of the story.
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.
---------------
If I was lied to, what would you do?
Lately Demyx had been acting quite strangely and Axel was willing to find out the reason. He met up with Demyx at the musician's room intending to talk with him. Right off when Demyx saw Axel he visibly changed. "Dem? What's going on? You haven't been yourself for the past week." Axel stated while walking inside the room.
Demyx gulped and looked around frantically. "I... Uh..." Demyx wasn't sure what to say. Axel sat down on the bed and watched Demyx really worriedly.
"Dem, come on, talk to me." Axel pleaded. He really hated this. The two of them hadn't had any kind of secrets and then out of nowhere Demyx starts to act strangely. The Nocturne had been jumpy, stuttering nearly whole time, being nervous and sometimes saying something really unexpected which wasn't much of a surprise but in this case was more of worrying than anything.
Axel sighed and walked to Demyx. The Nocturne backed off looking quite afraid. "Demyx, you know you can talk to me." Axel tried and carefully took a hold of his arm. Demyx panicked.
"I... There's nothing wrong... Really... Uh... Sire... I... Um..." Demyx said and tried to pull away. Axel was more than shocked. He stared at Demyx and barely breathed. He gulped once and let go of Demyx.
"What did you just call me?" Axel asked quietly. Demyx backed off again staring at Axel. "Demyx, what you called me? Please, answer..." Axel pleaded and looked straight at Demyx. Eventually Axel sighed and leaned against the wall. "Dem, you've never called me that. What the hell's going on?!? We're friends, Dem! Friends don't call each other on that kind of names!" Axel said sadly.
Demyx sighed and looked away. Suddenly he became really angry and ran straight to a window. Axel got shocked and ran after him. "Dem, don't do it!" He shouted when Demyx jumped up on his table and opened the window.
"Don't worry. I'm not gonna jump." Demyx said slightly grinning, extended his right hand out of the window, snapped his fingers and called out a rain. "I'm gonna find you, you liar!" He shouted angrily. Axel stared in slight shock about Demyx's doing and his cursing. Suddenly Demyx snapped his fingers and two Dancers came to the room. "Fetch him." Demyx ordered and the Dancers bowed before vanishing.
It didn't take long before the Dancers came back with a struggling man. Demyx grinned fiercely and jumped off of the table. "You really thought to get away with this, huh?" Demyx asked while coming right in front of him. Demyx snapped his fingers again and one of the Dancers kicked the man to his knees. Demyx looked away but raised his gaze back to the man after he heard him fall.
Axel stared in shock at the scene that was played right in front of him. The man was quite shocked too. He hadn't exactly thought this would happen. "Why you're doing this? You don't like to fight!" The man shouted in slight fear.
Demyx chuckled. "You know, liking and wanting are two different things. Yeah, I don't like this but right now I do want to see you hurt!" Demyx shouted evilly. Axel was startled. He walked carefully to Demyx and tried to drag him off.
"Dem, you're not like this. Please, snap out of it!" Axel pleaded. Demyx turned to look at Axel and Axel took few steps backwards in shock. He had never seen Demyx like that before. Demyx came closer to Axel and the red head kept on backing until he came back to the table.
"You're really willing to spoil my fun, huh?" Demyx asked nearly angrily. But what the man didn't see was that Demyx winked to Axel. Axel was confused and scared. When Axel sat down on the table to get further off of Demyx, Demyx laid his left hand on Axel's. Creating a small amount of water and small smile to his face, Demyx send a short thought to Axel. "You really think I'd kill him? How much do you know about me?"
Axel stared at Demyx in shock. Suddenly it hit him. And he did see it in Demyx's eyes. With a grin he nodded and turned to look at the man. Demyx turned around and went back to the man.
"You know, Axel's gonna be our witness on this. Now, should we just talk or should I let him in on this first?" Demyx asked evilly while creating a nice sized water wall in the room. "Axel's gonna be on my side for sure on this so you're not gonna get much of luck on this. Then again... It can be chosen to be just talking between you and me or... We can let Axel in on this." Demyx continued and glanced once at Axel. "Sit down and enjoy the show. You're gonna be the witness." Axel just nodded with a grin.
"No... Not that... We'll just talk..." The man pleaded and glanced once at Axel and gulped. "Your friend... He seems to have a..." He started but Demyx grinned. He already knew how Axel was looking at the man.
"The look of a cat when it spots the prey? Yeah, Axel's half a cat, you know." Demyx said with a grin. Axel raised an eyebrow at that but didn't say a thing about it. The man just nodded. "So... How to start this, huh?" Demyx continued, snapped his fingers and created a water clone behind the man. "Check behind you." Demyx commented with a grin.
The man looked behind himself and was shocked. The water clone had a baseball bat in its hands. "You wouldn't..." The man started in fear.
"Oh, tell me at least one reason for not to do it. Now, let's see... Does this sound familiar? 'You gotta find your place in there. If you just let them walk over you, you'll just end dead.'" Demyx quoted. The man gulped. "You know... I think I let Axel decide on this." Demyx said and turned to his friend. "So... You wanna see the whole thing or just listen to our talk?" Demyx asked with a grin.
Axel pondered for a while before he grinned even wider. "I want to see the thing, not just hear it." He stated evilly.
"You heard it." Demyx said while turning around knowing really well that he was winning this.
"No... Anything but that..." The man kept on pleading. The further the talk went the deeper the man kept on digging himself. Demyx just kept on asking the right things and threatening to show things out. Eventually Demyx chuckled and looked at the man.
"You know, you've already proven yourself guilty. I really don't think I should show it out but... So, you just shut up. You want me to knock you out or you want it easier and have a scarf?" Demyx asked while turning to the water wall.
Axel chuckled. He glanced once at the man and said: "I think you should knock him out." Demyx chuckled too when the man started to plead that he wouldn't be knocked out. Eventually they let him be without being knocked out or scarf over his mouth.
Demyx turned back to the water and snapped his fingers. "Now, both of you shut up. This is what's been going on for the last week." Demyx said and nodded towards the water wall where a picture was starting to form. Demyx closed his eyes to concentrate.
FLASHBACK
Demyx was walking down on one of the roads at the World That Never Was. He was quite badly fuming. "I only asked one question and they slash at me! I could've taken an easy no for an answer! I can't believe they did this. Even Axel... Don't they care anymore?" Demyx talked sadly. Suddenly someone pulled him to a close by alley.
"Calm down, Melodious Nocturne. It's OK." Someone said. Demyx didn't recognize the voice but turned around to see the same man who is right now held by two Dancers in Demyx's room. "I'm really sorry to say but I think they actually never cared." The intruder said.
"OK... Who are you and how do you know me?" Demyx asked quite shocked and unsure.
The man chuckled. "My name is Drakos. I was like you when I joined the Organization. Caring for everyone and befriending them. Eventually that led to my firing. They kicked me out from there." The man said sadly. "If you don't believe, you can go back and eventually see it for yourself."
Demyx hesitated. "Okay... This is freaky. He isn't a Heartless. No-one else but Nobodies get in here... I gotta unfortunately admit him to be a Nobody..." Demyx thought sadly. "How come I've never heard about you?" Demyx asked carefully.
"They don't want to talk about this kind of things. But you can always ask about me from the Superior and get kicked out from there. I've been living on the streets for years. The rats aren't that of nice food, you know." Drakos answered. Demyx nodded.
"Why would they lie to me?" Demyx asked sadly. The man just sighed.
"They're going to get you killed for someone more important than you. That's how it works. You're an awesome musician but that won't keep you there." Drakos said with a sigh. Demyx nodded.
"How can I stay there then?" Demyx asked eventually.
"There's only one way but I'm afraid it's going to come too late." Drakos answered.
"Please! I need to know! I'll do anything!" Demyx said pleadingly. The man just grinned.
"Well... You gotta find your place in there. If you just let them walk over you, you'll just end dead... What I mean is that you can always start to give your superiors the respect they need and keep the ones below you where they're supposed to be. Befriending the ones below you might get you to find things about them that you can tell to the Superior. Especially that number Twelve seems quite harsh but you're faster than her." Drakos told him with a nod. Demyx shuddered a little by the thought of Larxene. "You know, you can always just get her wet and she can't strike you since she'd zap herself." Drakos commented and Demyx nodded. That was true.
"But... What about Axel? He wouldn't turn me down, would he?" Demyx asked. He still wished to have something to save him from this. But Drakos shook his head.
"Eight has been just toying with you. You're stronger than him on the element. He's keeping you as a threat. All of the times he's 'helped' you is the times he's got something back from it. He is only aiming for personal goals." Drakos said sadly.
"No... That can't be true..." Demyx thought but the deeper he thought the clearer it came. All of the times Axel had got something back from it. "So... They've only toyed with me?" Demyx asked defeated.
"I'm sorry but that's the way it is. Listen, you said you'd do anything, right?" Drakos said sadly and Demyx nodded. "Then, once you've secured your place, help me back inside." Drakos continued.
"If you help me through this, I will do that." Demyx said with slightly happier voice. They shook hands to confirm the pact. "I hope I'm doing the right thing here..." Demyx thought sadly.
END OF FLASHBACK
Demyx stopped the show. "I've gone back day after day to talk with him." Demyx stated and walked to the man. "But you were wrong... The second I changed my ways everyone started to ask what was wrong! They got worried!" Demyx shouted nearly angrily.
"They just want you back so they can sacrifice you! That's the only reason!" The man shouted in slight panic. Demyx shook his head and sighed.
"Nope. You're wrong. I started to fight, which is one of few things that I hate, and they got even more worried. If anything, they've been wishing me to be a better fighter so that I'd be worth of this! But my place is as it is. There is no changing it!" Demyx answered fiercely.
"They're just fooling with you. You gotta see it!" Drakos shouted back. "They kicked me out! This isn't right!" He kept on saying. Demyx sighed again.
"You gave me a name: 'Snake's Words'. I should've realized it then. Snakes lie if they're given a chance to talk." Demyx stated matter of factly. Drakos gulped. He knew he lost it. "And you know, I can remember several times that Axel has saved me but didn't get a thing back from it." Demyx said musing.
"Alright! Alright! I lost it! I've lied throughout this week. I just wanted inside." Drakos answered dejected. Demyx smirked and sat down on his table.
"So... Why did you want inside when you already know so darn much about us?" Demyx asked carefully. "Oh, and tell me what are you? You're not a Heartless for sure..." Demyx continued slightly puzzled.
Drakos sighed. "Unfortunately, I am Nobody... And I've wanted inside since I'm not part of the group... I... I wanted your place... You seemed to be the easiest to get out of there..." Drakos answered. Both Demyx and Axel were quite shocked about the answer.
Axel stood up, walked to Drakos and created other one of his two Chakrams. "You wanted Demyx dead?!? He's part of this group and always will be!" Axel shouted and he would have struck the Chakram through the man if Demyx didn't stop him.
"Axel, don't! I still need to explain the whole thing to the Organization. And... Well... It would be good idea to keep him alive until then..." Demyx said while taking hold of Axel's hand. Axel sighed but let the Chakram disappear.
"Fine. But I'm going to kill him after this is done." Axel stated and walked back to the table. Demyx sighed.
"If you want to keep your life I suggest that you explain the whole thing to the Organization." Demyx said to the man. Drakos just nodded. "Good. Axel, call everyone up. I'm going to get this done with." Demyx said and nodded to Axel. Slightly grumbling Axel left the room to get the meeting up.
The meeting went quite fast. Everything was cleared off and Demyx did say he was sorry about this. Drakos was let free but Axel swore to kill him if the idiot ever decided to take on Demyx ever again. Now the two Nobodies were at Demyx's room.
"Dem... Why did you listen to him?" Axel asked while sitting down to Demyx's bed. Demyx just sighed.
"I... I don't know... It just seemed so real... His words just sounded so right... I'm sorry, Axel, I shouldn't have listened to him..." Demyx said sadly. Axel sighed. He really hated to see Demyx like this. Carefully Axel stood up from the bed, walked to Demyx and hugged him.
"You do know that I'll always be here for you, right? I might snap at you sometimes but I'll still care about you. That won't change." Axel whispered to Demyx. Demyx just nodded. "We're friends, Dem. You can always come to me and I'll help, no matter what." Axel continued with a slight sigh. Demyx leaned in into the hug and whispered a short I'm sorry.
Axel just nodded. "I'm glad this is over with. Demy, if me or someone else snap at you... Just wait till we're not angry and try again, got it memorized? You know that people has bad days once in a while." Axel continued. "By the way, what was it that you wanted to ask?" Axel asked quite interested.
Demyx chuckled and smiled. "Can't remember it anymore and it doesn't even matter. I think it never was that of important." Demyx answered. "I'm just glad that I have such an awesome friend as you, Ax..." Demyx murmured while slowly falling asleep. Axel just chuckled a little and carefully picked the sleeping Nocturne up and to the bed.
"Sleep well, Dem. Everything's going to be back to normal in morning." Axel whispered, gave a small kiss to Demyx's forehead and left the room. When Axel left the room, Demyx was already smiling in his sleep.

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!)
