The Demyx Continuum: A Rose in the Water

Chapter 5: Demyx's Mission

A week after the thank you party, Demyx headed out of his new room and walked out into the courtyard. Where the battle had taken place, he thought back to the battle to try to recap what had happened after he was injured, it felt like he was falling. However, he sat down so that feeling didn't occur to him again. Yet, all that he was able to remember was how he got the injury instead of what happened afterwards. Axel apparently saw him, because he came running up to him.

"Hi, Axel."

" Hi, there. Why are you out here?"

"I wanted to know.... What happened after I was injured? How did he die?"

Axel knew what exactly what he meant. " Well, he was resisting. After he attacked you, but he whenever he saw Sora he attacked. You know we all attacked him at once, whenever he did that. Our combined attack shocked him that he left himself wide open for it. That was how he died. He never did mentioned that he was sorry for what he did to you. I came back, to make sure he wasn't going to come back."

" Was that it? He died a few moments after I left."

"Yes. Sora, Riku, and I did the honors for you...we combined our strengths together and finished him off as a present to him from you." Axel said with a small chuckle.

"So you stuck with plan B, huh?"

"What was plan b?"

"Oh, come on Axel. Don't tell me you forgot?"

"Yeah, I---"

Marluxia came running out.

"There you are! I've been running all over the place looking for you, Demyx."

"For me? Why were you looking for me?"

"Come with me, there is someone waiting for you?"

"Is it Riku and Sora?"

"Yeah with some girl... she looks kind of familiar."

"Really?"

"Yeah, come on. They don't have a lot of time to stay here."

"So that will explain why you were running over here."

"Yeah. Axel they want you too."

" I know the girl you're talking about." Axel said.

"You do?" Marluxia asked.

"Yeah, I was the one who brought her into that cell remember."

"Then she'll be surprised to see you."

Let's go...um... where's Demyx?" Axel said.

"I don't.... There he is... how'd he get way up there?" Marluxia said looking around.

"He probably took off running while we were talking. Let's go." Axel speculated.

Demyx was the first one to reach Riku's old room. This had surprised both Sora and Riku. Demyx then immediately threw himself down on the bed and rested his left arm on his pillow.

"Jeez, Demyx. Did you have to go so fast?" Marluxia came running in clearly out of breath.

"You expect me to walk here? When you just told me two of my best friends are here to visit."

" No. we didn't expect you to do so, Dem, but you could have waited up for us." Axel came in and closed the door. Sora and Riku were laughing.

"Alright you three, calm yourselves. Kairi, this is the one that saved my life. Demyx this is another best friend of mine." Sora said.
