"Well.. Um.. You see, those things, they were, um..." Dyme stuttered.
'This is stupid. Why should it matter what this girl thinks? Or how she feels?' One voice in Demyx's head stated. 'You're heartless!' the other voice argued.
'So are you.'
'Oh.. .Yeah... But.. Um... Atleast I'm not mean!'
'Pathetic.'
'HEY! Well... What if she can help me become whole again?'
'Really? How do you think she can do that?'
'Oh... Well... She's my best friend, right?'
'You're other's best friend.'
'Whatever!
"Dyme?"
You waved your hand in front of his face, as he seemed to totally zone out.
"Ah!" he seemed to snap out of his trance. "Well, those were Nobodies..."
"Yeah, but what WERE they?" you asked, confused.
"...What? Oh! No! That's what they're called. Nobodies." You nodded, but Miu seemed skeptical. "You see, when a someone with a strong heart turns into a heartless, the... empty shell... they leave behind begins to act on its own... and that shell is called a Nobody." Dyme explained.
You nodded. "Does... Does that mean YOU have a Nobody?"You immediantly wished you hadn't asked. Dyme gave you such a cold, sad smile. "Hey... I'm--"
"Going inside to make dinner." Miu cut you off. She walked past Dyme into the house, but not before giving him a glare.
"Um... Is there something wrong with her...?" he asked with a nervous laugh.
"Um.. She probably finds it hard to trust someone who disappears and suddenly reappears two years later wearing all black..."
"Oh."
"Hey! Cheer up!" You said, trying to lighten the mood. You decided that if the questions were hurting him, you'd better wait 'till he was ready to tell you.
Tee-hee! XD Demmy-chan has voices in his head. XD "I hear voices and they don't like you."
"So... Anymore questions?" Dyme asked uncertainly. ((Me and my big words! XD))
"Nah." He let out a relieved sigh. "You'll tell me everything, eventually, be sure of that." You said with an evil smirk. He gave you a look that resembled that of a scared puppy. "I have my ways." with that, you turned away, and laughed maniacally. "Oh! I almost forgot!" You exclaimed, your tone changing completely . "Did you ever learn to play the guitar?" You asked, turning around to see him.
"Nope. Mastered something even better. The sitar!" He replied proudly.
"Oh, cool!" you paused. "Um... What's a sitar?" His face dropped a bit.
"Eh... It's like a guitar, kind of, but it's cooler and harder to learn!" He was silent for a moment. "Hey, why don't I show you?"
Ahem. According to Microsoft Word, a sitar is an Indian stringed instrument with a rounded resonating body and a long fretted neck. According to wikipedia, it demands a very high degree of technical mastery to play even simple melodies with clarity and accuracy. It is also a rather painful process for the beginner until the hard calluses and black grooves on the tips of the index and middle finger, which typify the sitar player, begin to develop.
XD Wow! Demmy-kun is so skilled and deticated! :'D Though that last part about calluses and such doesn't sound very nice... o.o;
Dyme stood up, and walked past you into the middle of your front lawn. From the ground, water shot up, looking like a dome around him. He threw his right hand up in the air, and in a flash instead of the watery dome, there was an orb of water on top of his hand. The orb exploded, the water going into the shape of his instrument. The water turning solid, Dyme grabbed the neck of the newly formed sitar, twirled it around in the air twice, and brought it down into playing position.
With VERY wide eyes, you gazed at his newly formed blue and white insrument. It was very much like a guitar, but with a muc hlonger neck. Their was a strange design on it that almost reminded you of a heart. (( You all know what his sitar looks like, right? XD)) "What... What did you... How did you... What..?" The look on your face caused Dyme to smirk.
"Pretty cool, huh?" He said in a cocky tone. "What can I say? I've picked up some new abilities!"
"Abilties?" you questioned. "Dyme, whistling is an ability. THAT was not an ability!" you shouted. "It was really cool, but it wasn't, I mean, it was more like, um.. I don't even know!" You were starting to stammer. "I mean, I guess I should be used to strange things, but seriously!" You paused, remembering how he made the 'Nobodies' disappear. "And since when can you snap?"
"Eh... heh...?" He laughed nervously. You were about to interigate more, but you remembered the sad look he gave you before. ((Rei is a gazillion times less nosey than I am. xD I'd be all, "XOMGTELLMEWHAT'SHAPPENEDNOW~!" xD))
You sighed. "Oh well, now's not the time, I guess..." You looked down at your stomach, which seemed to start growling as soon as you layed your eyes on it. "Eh... I wonder what Miu's making for dinner..." You glanced over at Dyme. He was staring at his feet, clutching his sitar. Then he shut his eyes, his hands moving into ... sitar playing position? He took a deep breathe and started to play. It was a sad tune with a slow tempo, but then it suddenly perked up, moving faster, sounding brighter. You listened intently, losing yourself to the melody.
A raindrop landed on your nose, breaking you out of your trance. Your head snapped up, staring into the cloudy sky. Another droplet fell, this time landing in your eye. "Ah! A raindrop landed in my EYE! I'VE BEEN BLINDED!" You shrieked. Dyme finally opened his eyes and stared at you like you were some sort of poisonous man-eating banana ninja.
"....What?" Dyme ((I keep typing 'Demyx'... X.x)) asked hesitantly, still playing his song.
"I... don't know..." There was a moment of silence. "Oh well." Dyme seemed to shrug it off and continued playing. More rain drops fell. And more. ANd more. Finally, in a matter of thirty seconds, it was pouring. Dyme's song stopped. You blinked.
"....I'm getting wet." Dyme stated flatly.
"I see that."
"Should we go back inside...?"
"Probably." You broke into a huge grin. "I like the rain!" You laughed. "Miu's going to have a fit!" Turning towards the door, you skipped towards it, laughing the whole way. 'I wonder if it was a mistake to show her the sitar....' You thought to yourself. What did it matter now? What's done is done. You let your sitar melt away with the rain, becoming what it was originally; water. You walked after Rei, hwo was now standing in front of the door with her hands on her hips. "She locked us out!" Rei exclaimed, ((love that word. xD)) pouting. "Miu! Stop being mean! Let us in!" she shouted as she banged on the door. The door creeked open. "You're wet." Miu's voice called from behind it. "Really? I haven't noticed." Rei retorted, narrowing her eyes. "Wipe your feet before you come in." The door opened and Miu walked away into the kitchen. Rei shrugged and walked in. You had took one step before stopping in your tracks, realising something. "MY HAIR!" you yelped, your hands flying to the top of your head. Rei turned around. She stared a moment and then started to giggle. "Nice mullet." You ran inside, forgetting to wipe your feet. You lifted up locks of hair in attempt to make it stand up into a mohawk again, but it was useless. "Aw, no fair!" Rei sighed and took your arm, dragging you away. You passed a mirror on the way, and you gasped as you saw yourself. "It's worse than I thought!" You cried, your free hand flying to the top of your head again. Rei just laughed, pulling you along. You noticed the walls were white. Why did destiny want you to be surrounded by that color? You were thankful for the color in the kitchen. The walls were a light yellow and the floors were tiled, lime green and white. It was sort of odd, but it was color at least. Rei sat down at the table and you sat across from her. "Don't talk so fast, it makes my brain hurt!" You whined. "Oh, sorry..." Rei laughed nervously. "Rei." Miu turned around from her cooking. "You don't expect me to take him in, do you?" "Well, we can't just leave him on the streets!" Rei snapped, glaring at her sister. "It's hard enough supporting the two of us! Do you think I can handle another person?!" Miu screamed. "Um..." You shifted uncomfortably in your chair. "I could always just... go home to my family..." It was very vague, but you DID remember having a family. Rei and Miu looked at eachother, the anger fading from their expressions. "..." Rei looked down at the floor. "I knew I'd have to tell you sometime, but... They were... They were..." "Taken by the Heartless." Miu finished softly. "But, hey, if YOU came back, Dyme, maybe they will too!" Rei said brightly, not wanting you to be upset. If you had a heart, you would have been upset anyway. But you didn't, so you weren't. You remained silent. You could try to react, but nothing seemed realistic enough. "..." You couldn't feel, but you could want. You didn't want anyone you cared about to suffer your fate, but it had happened anyway. You felt a warm pressure on your hand. You looked up to see it was Rei's hand, holding onto yours, her worried eyes searching for your own. It was an awkward gesture. It was easy to tell she didn't hold people's hands often. "I think he should have some time alone." Miu said gentley, breaking the silence. Rei frowned, but nodded in agreement. "You know where the guest room is." You nodded slightly, standing up. You could feel their eyes on you as you left the kitchen. "I can't stay here." you thought. " Nope. I'll only cause more trouble. 'Sides, I need to get back to the Organization!" You decided you'd make a portal back to The World that Never Was in the guest room. Your thoughts wandered to Axel and Roxas. You wondered if you'd see them when you got back, but then you remembered that the last time you saw Roxas was when he tried to kill you. "Wait, no, that was Sora... Maybe it would've been different if it were Roxas..." You shook your head. It seemed like most of the Organzation enjoyed using you as a punching bag anyways. You entered the familiar room, shutting the door behind you. You sat an the bed, reaching for your boots and slipping them on. When that was done, you walked over to the corner of the room and held your hand up, creating a portal. There was a bit of doubt in the back of your mind, but you shrugged it off. You looked around the room one last time before being engulfed in darkness. "It's so quiet in there..." I murmured, wondering if he was sleeping. I figured he's had more than enough sleep. At that moment, Miu walked by, also in her pajamas. She looked at me, then at the door. She sighed and shook her head. "I'm going to bed, okay?" She told me. "Kay." I answered simply, watching her walk off into her room. Miu was actually really nice... sometimes... every once in a while... Okay, pretty much just when she feels like it. But still, She acts like my parent as much as my sister. She's started hastling me about getting a job, but I suppose it's only fair. I mean, considering how hard she works. After a few minutes went by of just sitting there, the temptation to eat the sandwich- along with my concern and curiosity, of course- was too much. I got on my feet and knocked on the door. There was no reply, which puzzled me. I opened the door, slowly, just in case he was naked or something, ((... Ah, we can only hope... :'D ... >.>;; )) but the room was empty. Well, empty except for the strangest thing. These, eery glowing light in the corner of the room. It was green and... well, odd. I walked towards it, like a fly going to one of those bug zapper things. I don't know what posessed me to do this, but I stuck my hand into it. It felt cold, different, like it was somewhere else. I suppose I've always been so overly curious, never have I put much thought into the saying, "Curiosity killed the cat." After all, I wasn't a cat. The light, or should I say creepy glow, was in the corner of the room. I put about half my arm through it. It should have hit the wall. It didn't. I stepped into the light. That probably wasn't smart to do, honestly. I mean, "Stepping into the light"? It's like I'm asking to die. But then again, here's an empty guest room, void of any guests that were supposed to be in it. I figured Dyme MUST have something to do with it. I was in no way ready for what was coming next. I only wish I brought sneakers. Rei: Hey... Sarah? Um... The script for chapter three says that I get to make out with Axel... Demyx: WHAT? O.O Sarah: o.o;; Demyx: *whine* Saaaraaaah~! How could you DO this to me? T.T This is MY story with MY name on it, why does AXEL get the attention? Why ALWAYS him? T.T I thought you loved ME, I thought you said MY hips were sexy, not HIS! T_____T Sarah: .... There's a script for chapter three? Demyx: o.o Rei: o.o Sarah: AXEL! Axel: ^.^ HIIIBYE. Amy and Kira: *playing cards* Amy: GO FISH! =D Kira: Weren't we playing poker? o.o;; Amy: I thought we were playing blackjack... ((Ansem Retort = <3333)) Riku: Will someone PLEASE remind me why I'm here? Zexion: I'd like to ask that same question. -.- Demyx: ZEXY! =D *tackles him* Sarah: SO NOW YOU'RE CHEATING ON ME WITH ZEXION, HUH!? T.T *ignoring her fangirlism for Zemyx pairing* Zexion: -.-;; Get off. Demyx: WAAAH! *flails and latches onto Sarah* HE'S SO MEAN! T.T Sarah: =D;; ANYWHO, see you next time! ^.^

Rei. o.o
Miu and me, I mean, Miu and I, we ate dinner in silence. It wasn't really a grand dinner, but hey, I quite like rice and chicken. Anyways, I might've been sitting there in the kitchen, chewing and swallowing and eating, but I wasn't really there, you know? I was totally out of it. I kept thinking of Dyme, like... How was he doing? How was he taking it? Doesn't he need to eat? Why's he seem so different? What about the strange things he can do? My curiosity, my concern.. It was starting to get the best of me. But he MUST want to be alone, or else he wouldn't have left. I dunno, I guess I just can't stand being apart, 'cause we've been apart for so long. At one point I got up and stuck my plate in the sink, but like I said, I wasn't entirely there. Miu didn't say anything as I walked away. I went passed the bedroom, which was oddly silent, and straight to my room. It was getting late, so I figured I should take a shower. I searched through my drawers, looking for my favorite things to wear in my sleep. A finally found them, my long black t'shirt, which said in white, bold, capital letters, "I'm surrounded by idiots", blue, checkered pajama pants, and those soft, fuzzy stay at home socks, which were striped, pink and purple. I took a shower, but I don't feel the need to describe that. Actually, it's a wonder I didn't drown, what with my lack of paying attention. After that, I decided that if Dyme went any longer without food, he'd die of starvation. That was the last thing I wanted to happen, of course, so I went into the kitchen and made him a ham and cheese sandwich. In my personal opinion, it was the best ham and cheese sandwich I've ever made. The bread was nice and toastey, but not TOO toastey. Plus, the cheese (cheddar, I might add) was melted to perfection, which meant it was hot, but not like... boiling, nor was it oozing out of the sides (I hate that. It always ends up burning my fingers!) Plus, I didn't burn down the house. I almost felt bad that I wasn't the one getting the sandwich, but I decided it was worth it, for Dyme, anyways. He should consider himself lucky. So, anyway, I was bringing the sandwich, but I wasn't sure if it'd be okay for me to walk in on Dyme like that. So I sat in front of the guest room door, staring at the sandwich I made so perfectly.
I should totally end it here. =D
HAH! I've finally updated! =D ... About half a year later... Gawd, I phail. xD Anyways, an updates an update! =D I promise you it won't take as long to update next time! Pinky swear!
