"Dem?" you called to him. "What are you doing in there?" you asked through the door you're leaning your ear to.

"Please wait, Irixane," he answered you. "I'm doing... okay, I'm done!" he opened the door. You raise an eyebrow.

"What are you doing, really?"

"I was making that bathtub you see! And I was trying it! You know, I didn't see any bathtub but the one those kids are riding. So, if you want to get bath you can--Irixane?"

He cut off his words seeing a smirk grows from your lips. You ruffle his just-designed wet from gel dirty blonde hair. You chuckle softly. "Thanks for the bathtub, Demyx. So I can use it freely?"

He pouts after you're messing up his hair and then smiles at you, noting you can use it. You pat his shoulder. "Thanks," you said and went into the room. He turns around and fixes his hair but then you--who has put off the jacket and t-shirt--open the door, wide enough. Demyx turns his head around and slightly screams as he sees you with just that top-undergarment on.

You sigh. "Just half-naked me, Demyx. Anyway, if Axel knows this is a bathroom and I'm in, don't let--uh-oh," you quickly close the door as you see the horror coming to you.

Demyx raises an eyebrow now, he turns his head again and found no one, but suddenly he feels a tap on his shoulder. He screams a little again and found it's Axel, facing the door you just closed.

"Where's that sexy view?" Axel questioned, smirking.

Demyx's face gone straight. "So that's why she's in horror..."

You sit down at the edge of Curly Hill.

"Irixaaane!" someone called to you, you look down and see Demyx.

He tries to get up on the Curly Hill too and sits beside you, throwing a leg on each side and faces your side. You look at him. "What?"

He pouts. "Why do you have to be so cold?"

"I don't know. It's my nature," you said, facing the sky again.

He laughs softly. "You're quoting me!"

"Because I have been hanging with you too much?" you looked at him.

He smiles at you. "Irixane, may I ask... something... stupid?"

"Everything you ask is always stupid. Anyway, let it out," you said.

He smiles shyly and scratches his cheek. "You know, I think I know what's right... but... hey, do you prefer me or Axel?"

"I think... I have told you way ago..." you raise an eyebrow. "Anyway, if you still need an answer now... well, I prefer you, a lot more away from Axel. If you ask why... that's because you are innocent, too innocent, too childish. You know, I'm kind of different from the other girls right?"

"Yeah, you're even different than Larxene, well of course that's because you're a lot much prettier..." he said spontaneously. He frowns seeing your expression hearing that out from him. Your shocked, slightly blushing expression. He now realize what he just said. "I meant--I meant--I... meant it...." he looked away.

The awkward silence felt as the atmosphere around you two. You sigh. "Oh well, thank you for the compliment, back to my answer. I know, Axel is all hot and that. He's flirty enough, I know. But, I don't really could like that kind of guy. He can be my friend even best friend but don't expect to be more."

"You like the cute, innocent guys?"

"Guys like those cute, innocent girls, at least, some or most," you laughed softly. "I'm that way, I like the one cute and innocent. Because... I know they can change my mind, somehow, someway."

Demyx smiles. "That's why you and Larxene are different... hahaha, you know. Larxene prefers me because Axel is a pretty much pervert and she prefers me because I am innocent, cute, just like how you prefer me. But the reason why she prefers the cutes is different from your reason. She likes the innocent guys because she can make them under her control."

You blink and laugh. "Under her control? You mean, she wants to be on top, not bottom, while doing that?"

Demyx nods and laughs again. "That's why, I'm... hell, so scared of her."

"Axel too. You know, guillotine," you grinned. Demyx laughs.

"You still remember."

"Of course, it was just yesterday and I'm still here," you said.

Demyx moves closer to you. You look at him. "What do you want?"

He stares at you, smiling so cute and gentle, but that won't make you blush. His smile fades. Tints of blush appears on each cheek he has. "Irixane... I... can I... kiss you...?"

Slight blush appear on each cheek you have now.

Why do you have to be so cute? Why do you have to ask for a kiss, you little innocent thing? Why do I have to feel the how fast the beats of the heart can go? Damn, Demyx, you're such an innocent devil that makes my life... miserable...

He just gets closer and closer to you. You put a finger on his lips, stopping him to go closer. You smile, kind of deviously. "Not so fast."

He pouts and looks away. "I thought you were going to let me."

Suddenly you peck his check, putting up a quick kiss. He blushes and smile curved by his lips. "So, Irixane, we're offi--"

"Who said so?" you said, turning your head so you face him away. "We're not officially dating, I just gave you a kiss. Doesn't mean I lend you a heart to steal."

"What?! All that and there's no meaning?"

You nod. "Yes, if you want to get me. Get me like you even more, work even harder, okay?" you smirked. You ruffle his hair and say, "Let's get off."

You jump down from the hill and walk off. You turn and see him pouting. "Come on. It's good I still give you a damn chance, get off and let's go somewhere."

"Somewhere? Hey, how about we get out of this world and let's go to any world else?!" he said excitedly and jump down. "Let's check out for Atlantica!"

You roll your eyes. "Sure. Atlantica. It's a sea or somewhat, isn't it?"

"So you know?"

"I'm Ansem's daughter, we know everything, but heart," you grinned. "Just both of us?"

"Yeah, it's Atlantica. It's sea. If Axel with his fire power or Larxene with her lightning power got crazy or mad or something, you won't know what'll happen~" he grinned.

You roll your eyes and smirks. "Huh. Great thinking, let's go then," you said.

He makes a portal and walks in through it, you follow.

x x x ATLANTICA x x x

As you're in, you realize you're under the sea. You look down at your body and find out you're only using a halter, shell-cups, black bikini top. And you... don't have legs. Instead of legs, you've got a fish body, from your waist and down. The fins, the tail. And the body is black.

"A mermaid, am I?"

"Hey, Irixane!" Demyx comes over to you. He has a dolphin fin or what's that on the back, different from you who has soft body, at least you're completely not a clownfish. His fish-bod is blue.

"I have a friend here, I want you two to know each other," he said.

You nod. He swim away and you follow.

He stops and you found a redheaded lady. "Demyx, is this the girl?"

"Yes, it's her. Irixane, this is my old friend, Ariel. And Ariel, this is, well, you know."

You look at her. "Nice to meet you."

"It's nice to meet you too, want to spend some time around? Maybe you can sing, or dance..."

You chuckle. "Demyx's things, not mine."

Demyx grins. "C'mon, I've heard you sing once! Your voice is pretty, you know that? Sing for us!"

"She has a pretty voice? Wow, maybe you really should show that!" Ariel said.

You blink. "What? I can't sing!"

Demyx grins and summons his blue, dear instrument and weapon, the sitar. "Then I'll sing for you."

You roll your eyes. He starts to pick the strings carefully, making a fine acoustic.

"Everyday, I look around. Seems like no one's ever satisfied...
Could it be that underneath, we've all got something to hide?
" he sang, picking the strings of his sitar while looking at you. You still look away from him.

"From the moment we arrive, I want to feel those things inside. We all need to feel alive..." he still stares deeply at you. You glance at him, but finding he's still at you, you look away again.

"If it's love that keeps us breathin', if it's something to believe in.
If its feeling makes us blind, tell me why is love so hard to find?
If we care so much about it, and we can't go on without it.
Let the mystery unwind, tell me why is love so hard to find?
" he sang again, smirking at you.

You sigh. "Insulting me?"

"Hmm... nope!" he grinned.

"All I know is when we find it," he started to sing again after the little interlude, "even earth can feel like you're in heaven..."

"Right?" he teased you again. You shrug and hide a smile behind the hand you use to rest your jaw on.

"Tell me now, unlock a secret. Help us all to find that hidden treasure...
From the moment we arrive. I want to feel those things inside. We all need to feel alive...
" he picked a flower and puts it on between your ear and head. You blink and try to get it off, but he holds your hand down. You sigh in defeat and let it still be there.

"If it's love that keeps us breathin', if it's something to believe in.
If its feeling makes us blind, tell me why is love so hard to find?
If we care so much about it, and we can't go on without it.
Let the mystery unwind, tell me why is love so hard to find?
" he started to swim round you playfully while playing his sitar.

"Why. Is love. So. Hard to. Find?" Ariel sang while swimming to you. She has a beautiful voice for real.

"Tell me why is love so hard to find?" Demyx sits down beside you on the rock.

"Why. Is love. So. Hard to. Find?" Ariel sang again, smiling at you.

"Baby, tell me why is love so hard to find?
Don't you know that I could never give up 'till I find my love?
" he sang questioningly to you. You look at him and shake your head. He laughs softly.

"I've been searching the whole world to find my love... yeah..." he sang.

"Why. Is love. So. Hard to. Find?" Ariel sang again.

"If it's love that keeps us breathin', if it's something to believe in.
If its feeling makes us blind, tell me why is love so hard to find?
If we care so much about it, and we can't go on without it.
Let the mystery unwind, tell me why is love so hard to find?
" both Ariel and Demyx sang. You feel surrounded by the love-mystery-curiousness. So then...

"If it's love that keeps us breathin', if it's something to believe in.
If its feeling makes us blind, tell me why is love so hard to find?
If we care so much about it, and we can't go on without it.
Let the mystery unwind, tell me why is love so hard to find?
" you sang too with them. They laugh in between the song and Demyx winks at Ariel. Ariel winks back at him.

"See? You sing well," the redheaded mermaid grinned at you. "Your 'why is love so hard to find' kills me," you said, jokingly. You laugh, and suddenly, your voice becomes broken; broken into sobs. You look down and swim away from them. Demyx frowns and looks at Ariel.

"What are you waiting for Demyx? Go after her," Ariel said. Demyx nods and swims after you. Ariel sighs and smiles. You are there, sitting on the blue boulder. You're crying. Demyx frowns and swims to you. "Irixane?"

You bit your bottom lip and look away from Demyx, you don't want him to see your sad face, your tears. "Go away," you told him. It's Demyx to you, he won't go away. You still notice him to be there by noticing his tail is still there. You glare at him. "I SAID GO AWAY!" you shouted at him. He shakes his head and hugs you tightly, letting you cry on his chest. Sobbing, you say, "Go... go away Demyx... leave me alone..."

"How the hell could I leave you like this?!" Demyx said. "I'm not a damn brat with no brain! What's with you? Are you missing someone?"

You sob even more because Demyx was right. You are missing someone. You suddenly miss your mother, who is said to be died when you were still a child. "L-Let me go..." you didn't answer him anyhow, still struggling away from his tight hold.

"I won't before you stop crying," Demyx said. "Tell me, Irixane. What has been into you? Just tell me."

"Yes, I'm missing someone, isn't that enough?!" you shouted at him. He shakes his head. "No, it's not enough." You bite your bottom lip again. "Then what do you want?!"

"Who are you missing?"

Silence engulves both of you right now, your sobs have faded away. You look up at him. "My... mother..." you answered. He frowns. "She... has died... right?" he asked even though he already knows the answer. You nod. "But... even though she has... I remember it clearly, when I was a little kid, I used to hear her voice, singing lullabies to me. Her voice is gentle. Her voice makes me believe she is still alive, no matter what father said about her."

Demyx's hold around you loosened. Your tears soon have merged with the sea water you're in. He smiles. "Her voice, is it still with you?" You nod. "Not so often as before though," you said. He grins. "Believe what do you want to believe in, who knows what you believe is the truth?"

You stare him, right at his eyes, as he give your violet eyes a stare back with his own blue eyes. You smile. "You're right... oh, damn, why should I cry for such a little thing?!" you whined and smirked. Demyx laughs. "Don't take easy of any little thing, it makes who you are today!" he grinned. You smirk. "Maybe you're right..."

"Right?!" Demyx said excitedly. You smile. "Right... I've cried anyway, forget it," you smirked. Demyx grins and swims after you. "It's just too little too late~" Demyx sang again.

"Shut up, I don't like to listen to your voice," you said. He grins. "Just say you like it, don't lie," he said. "Shut up," you told him again. Ariel is watching you from far and sighs. "She has found that love, but she doesn't realize... I couldn't be wrong..." the mermaid giggled. "They'd make a best thing in a love story collection I have. Even though I don't know every obstacle they have to run into..." she said dreamily.

Meanwhile in Halloween Town...

"LARXENE! DON'T KILL ME WITH THAT EVIL THING! I STILL WANNA LIVE! I HAVEN'T FEEL LOVE!" the redheaded Nobody in his vampired cape whined loudly at the blonde witch. She smirks. "Bye bye."

"LARXENE!" he shouted at her, and managed to escape by burning the couple of woods that trapped his head and hand. Larxene pouts. "How could you escape that?"

"I burn such things easily Larxene..." Axel sighed. "I wonder where Irixane and Demyx are... I'm slowly dying with just Larxene here..."

"Next time I'll make it with metal so it won't go down in flames," Larxene said to herself, smirking. Axel blinks and turns to see Larxene. "NO!!!" he screamed hysterically.

Back to Atlantica...

"... I think I've heard a hysterical scream from Axel," Demyx blinked. You blink. "I heard that too, but forget it, he'd probably is having fun with Larxene," you grinned and swam away. Demyx sighs. "I correct that: having fun," he said the last two words sarcastically and swam after you.


Finished. Yay. :D No music, no Atlantica! -_- Why is Love So Hard to Find is credited to Jesse McCartney, while the one-line of Too Little Too Late is credited to JoJo. :)

Dang. Themes don't work. T_T

At last! The chapter with song! I've been waiting to make Demyx sings! *giggle*
