~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
Sora’s morning had been tough, he’d woken up several hours after Demyx had left and barely had time to properly panic before he found his friend’s note. With a sigh, Sora went ahead and took a shower and got some food from the nice ladies in the kitchen before he sat himself down and happily ate away at the pot pie in his hands. He had been having the strangest dream for most of last night and this morning.
He was Roxas again and Axel was there, saying all sorts of mushy, emotional things that made Sora blush just thinking about it. It had seemed so very real but he couldn’t figure out why. He had finally just chalked it up to his fight with Riku yesterday, stupid Riku. His mood turned sour as he contemplated just how much pain he planned to inflict on the other boy. He was so deep in thought that he didn’t notice Zexion and Lexaeus approaching him till they were sitting across from him at the table.
“What are you two doing here?” he squeaked, not sure how to handle this situation. While he was sure they were treating him one way when Demyx was around he didn’t know if it would change the moment he was alone.
“Relax, we’re waiting for Demyx, he had a meeting with Xigbar after class, he should be here soon.” Zexion informed him as he waved over the elderly waitress and ordered water for him and Lexaeus. “So, what have you been up to all day?” he asked more to dispel the awkward silence between them rather than create meaningful conversation.
“Um, sleeping, I had a dream about being Roxas again and Axel was there,” Sora shrugged. He didn’t notice the intent gaze that Zexion suddenly fixed him with, but he did notice that Demyx was quickly approaching them. “Wow that was fast; I thought if he was with Xigbar he’d be longer!”
“Well Lex and I took our sweet time in getting here, so I’m not that surprised that he’s here now, he looks happy,” Zexion smirked as he watched Demyx wave at them through the window before moving into the building.
“Hey guys you’ll never guess what happened to me!” Demyx practically oozed self-satisfaction.
“Looks to me like you were shagged rotten,” Zexion smirked. Demyx turned bright red and while Sora was sure he’d fight back he just gave them a dazzling smile and sat next to Sora.
“I’m moving in with Braig, I mean…Xigbar after finals!” he announced. “It’s really exciting; I can’t wait to get all my stuff together. I wonder what Toby’s gonna say when I meet up with him…”
Sora was beginning to feel as if Demyx was becoming someone different again. His eyes weren’t as blue as they had been before; in fact, the looked a little grey. Zexion seemed to notice this too and shot Sora an equally questioning look. Demyx however, was going on and on and on about how wonderful life was going to be now that he and Xigbar were going to be living together. “Oh! I should go home and get my guitar for the talent show, I’ll see you all at the school!” he announced as he dashed out the door again.
“That was certainly odd…” Lexaeus grunted. “His eyes are changing color…”
“What’s the significance of that?” Sora asked, finally wrenching himself out of his own personal thoughts.
“Before Demyx remembered who we were his eyes were grey, then when you showed up, they were aqua blue, the color that you’re used to, they’re turning grey again…” Zexion explained moodily. “I don’t know what’s happening here, I don’t want to get involved but…I feel like I have to because…” he seemed to be at a loss for words.
“He’s your friend!” Sora finished for him, “It’s only natural to be worried about your friends…I’m gonna go to the college, I don’t know, I just have this feeling that something’s going on there, I’ll see you later!” Sora called as he too exited the building. Zexion looked after Sora and turned to Lexaeus.
“Do you really think he can help him?”
“He’s the Keyblade Master, I’m fairly certain he’s the most qualified for the job,” Lex reminded him in his deep, rumbling voice. “Even if we never see this Demyx again, at least we’ll have our Demyx back…we’ll just have to find him again.” He smiled, kissing the top of his lovers head.
“Well, as long as I don’t loose you too…” he sighed. Lexaeus only chuckled.

As Sora got to the college he became increasingly aware that something didn’t feel right. He wasn’t sure if he was being merely paranoid or if there was something amiss with this sleepy little town. He followed his feelings and found himself wandering alone down the dark hallways of Godolphin College until he turned a corner and scooted back again. There, near the doorway at the end of the hall was a couple pressed against a wall. Sora felt guilty for stumbling upon them, but this was where the uneasy feelings felt the strongest.
“Now Toby…be a good boy and get rid of Demyx or I’ll take away this pretty new heart I gave you,” a low voice growled.
“But…Morpheus!! He’s already forgetting again…I mean, the more time he spends with Braig the less he remembers!” Toby tried to argue.
“That’s the point, Demyx will forget everything about Xigbar and then we’ll drop him into another world. He’ll be so lost and confused he’ll immediately accept my offer to join the Organization again and then I can capture Xigbar’s heart as well in a different world. As long as that stupid boy keeps trying to restore Xigbar’s memories, they’ll keep ending up in the same world!” the voice that belonged to Morpheus snapped. “This is for the good of the organization, don’t end up like that twit Marluxia…” he warned as his voice faded away.
Sora peeked around the corner to see that Toby and Morpheus were gone. He covered his mouth and slid down to the ground trying to hide his own whimpering voice. This place was a trap! He had to warn Demyx…if Demyx lost his memories of Xigbar and the Organization (which Sora never thought would be a bad thing) then he’d be vulnerable of being inducted into the Organization again (which Sora definitely knew was a bad thing).
He scrambled to his feet and ran down the hallway until he found himself outside again. What was he going to do? He had to find Demyx, but the talent show was in a few hours and even then he didn’t know how he was going to get his attention once he found him, or explain this weird turn of events.
“How much did you hear?” Toby’s voice was hard and cold beside him. Sora jerked as if he’d been slapped to confront the older boy with a frightened stare.
“Everything…what are you going to do to Demyx?” Sora demanded.
“Keep him away from you!” Toby snapped, but even as he said it Sora was aware that his conviction was lacking. “You stay out of my way or you might find yourself in a place you don’t wanna be!”
“Oh yeah? Bring it on!” Sora prepared for a fight when Deymx’s voice could be heard among the din.
“Oi! Toby!!” he ran up to his friend and clamped him on the shoulder. “I’m moving in with Braig after finals; you totally have to help me move my stuff!” he smiled as he turned to look at Sora. “Hey who’s your new friend?” he laughed sticking out his hand to Sora.
“Uh…he’s no one!” Toby grabbed Demyx’s arm and dragged him inside the school before Sora could object. This was bad…this was very, very, VERY bad.
~*~
A few hours later Demyx stood in the back of the stage with his guitar in one hand and the other clutching Braig’s hand. He was so happy, they were finally moving in together! After two years of dating and taking sex when and where they could during breaks and weekends, they were taking a huge step! However…in the back of his mind he couldn’t help but feel like this was slightly off. Ever since the hour they had spent in his office he’d been feeling more and more like something was off here. Toby was acting really odd around him and every time that he tried to ask him about it, he would run off and do something else.
Finally it was his turn to go on stage and with a quick kiss to Braig he ran out on stage and waved to the screaming audience. His eyes scanned the crowd till they located the brunette boy from earlier who was standing in the back with Zexion and Lexaeus, weird, that kid knew everyone…didn’t he know him too?“And give it up for campus favorite DEMYX STARK!” Toby shouted from his mike off stage as Demyx waved again and set his guitar up. Strange, this felt familiar in a wholly different way than he’d been playing it all his life, he just felt that it should be bigger. He had many songs that he could play, many that he’d been planning to play, but a song that was very different spilled from his fingertips as the chords ripped through the guitar like it was possessed, and then…he sang.
His lyrics were punctuated by the soulful rhythm of his guitar and everyone seemed stunned to silence for the first part of the song but by the second verse they were screaming louder than ever.
“Did you know he could play like that?” Sora demanded of Zexion as the Cloaked Schemer stared dumbly at Demyx on the stage.
“I only ever heard him play that song once…we had just gotten back from a failed mission to acquire Experiment 626 from Hawaii…Demyx found that song on a record there. He played it for days in his room till he got the chords right…” Zexion shook his head. “I wonder why he’d be playing it…” he wondered aloud.
“Maybe part of him remembers…quick!” Sora dashed into the crowd and wrestled his way towards the stage.
“Lex?” Zexion looked towards his partner and blushed as he took his hand and led him after Sora.
Demyx meanwhile was bowing to all the cheering and so excited to be receiving all the attention. Suddenly the boy from earlier jumped onto the stage, shouting and clapping. “Way to go Demyx!” he said as he slapped him on the back.
“Uh….well…thanks! Um, who are you again?” he asked with a goofy grin. The student body laughed around Sora but the younger boy was not deterred.
“Oh man don’t you remember? I’m Sora, we’ve been friends forever!” he exaggerated.
“Alright that’s enough!” Toby shouted as he ran onto the stage. “Get off now!”
“I don’t think so you stupid freak!” Sora shouted, for lack of a better name to call Toby. “I don’t take orders from heartless nobodies!”
“I have a heart!” Toby immediately protested without hesitation.
“Then don’t do this to Demyx! He’s your friend right?”
“Uh guys…look, I’m just gonna leave…”
“NO! Demyx you can’t just leave you have to remember what you’re doing here!” Sora grabbed his hand.
“What do you mean? I’m going to talk to Braig! Let me go!” Demyx shouted at Sora.
“His name’s not Braig his name is Xigbar!” later, as Sora reviewed this situation he would remember how very strange this particular argument/conversation was, and he would laugh quite long and loud about it. As of right now however, he was quite serious in his endeavor to make Demyx remember. “You’re the Melodious Nocturne, you control water!! IT’S A TRAP!” Sora finally shouted as Toby grabbed him and pulled him away and threw him on the ground.
“Demyx ignore him, he’s crazy!” Toby shouted as Sora struggled in his grip.
“Demyx! It’s not a trick!” Zexion shouted as he and Lexaeus took the stage.
“What the hell is this? Just go away!!” Toby’s pleas were laced with desperation and something else…something deeper.
“ENOUGH!” Morpheus’s voice boomed from behind them. As the assemblage looked up they discovered that they were shrouded in darkness, save for small pockets of light that dimly illuminated the room. “This is not a joke! YOU!” he pointed to Toby who was trying to scramble away and dragged Sora to his feet. “You had one job Toby…keep this little shit away from Demyx and you failed…” his voice was laced with a deceptive sweetness.
“You can’t blame me Morpheus!” Toby choked out, tears streaming down his face.
“Remember what I told you…” He reached out and grabbed Toby.
“No…please…Morpheus…this is my heart! I promised…to protect it!!” he choked out.
The scene was chaos, Toby was crying, Braig was nowhere in sight, some crazy kid named Sora was screaming at him about something and it appeared that Zezzy and Lex (who barely spoke to him anyway) had lost their minds. His eyes darted towards Morpheus and Toby…something was…familiar about this…but it was all wrong! The setting, the time…the characters…
“BIG BROTHER HELP!” it wasn’t Toby’s voice that screamed for assistance it was a girl’s voice, she was scared…who was she? “NO!!! I don’t want to go! Big Brother!! Get up and fight, HELP ME!” her screams tore into his mind. He opened his eyes to see a sepia tinted world, trees, shrubs and rocks surrounded him, as well as a gaping black hole. There stood a faceless man and an indiscernible female figure. “Big brother please…I’m scared!” she sobbed. He couldn’t move, couldn’t think.
“Don’t worry little princess, your big brother is going to be just fine,” and the world went black once more.
“MORPHEUS!” Demyx shouted at the figure now standing over the fallen form of Toby, holding a shining heart. “What…what did you do?” he gasped.
“I took his heart; do you want to give it back to him? It won’t do you any good,” his foot tapped the disintegrating boy. “He was just a useless vessel; I want the person this heart belonged to, but she keeps eluding me…” he watched as the heart vanished. “Maybe it will lead me to her this time…?” he shrugged.
“Her…you mean?”
“Your sister.” Was the answer.
“DEMYX!” Sora was screaming at him, running towards him. He caught him mid leap, tightening his grip on him and looking to see that Morpheus was gone. “It was a trap! I don’t know where Zex and Lex went!” Sora shouted as the wind began to whirl around him.
“SORA! What are we doing here?” Demyx shouted.
“Think! Why are we here?” Sora didn’t want to tell him, he had to remember himself, had to remember himself so they could all escape this crazy world.
“XIGBAR!?”
Then the darkness swallowed them both.
