A/N: End of this particular arc ~ Sora and Demyx descend into the Darkness together. I do want to try and find a place to insert a bit more story in here about the mysterious "goings on" of Marluxia and some other's. To be honest, now that I can have a bit more female interaction in this fic it might not be as difficult as I imagine it would be. I feel that there are a lot of plot holes in the original regarding how this story ends up relating to the others I've written based on this universe. If you have any questions please feel free to ask and I will do my best to answer them without giving spoilers or telling you to wait until a later chapter (waiting for answers sorta sucks). Please enjoy!
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
The next morning Demyx popped awake and wolfed down breakfast before scrubbing himself raw in the shower and dressing in the new clothes and Merlin had somehow procured for him. He had to admit, it was nice being around an older man that wasn’t constantly trying to molest him, and he had good taste in clothing. Riku and Sora were staying at a hotel somewhere in another part of town and Merlin had offered Demyx the couch, which the former Nobody was happy for.
“Demyx, where are you going today?” Merlin asked him before he could leave.
“Oh…just…gonna walk around I guess,” Demyx shrugged.
“Would you do me a favor? I have this cog here that was broken and there’s only one place in town that sells them, it’s a small garage in District Two. If you would be a sport and get me some replacements I would be very grateful!” Merlin asked hopefully.
“Alright! I can do that!” Demyx said excitedly, happy that Merlin trusted him with something like this. He got a pouch of Muney from the old wizard to pay for the cogs (lunch too!) and exited the house. It was another nice day and Demyx found himself grinning like an idiot as he tried to find the shop that Merlin mentioned. He was wearing loose pants again and a black t-shirt with the word: “Rockstar” on it. Instead of his many bracelets and today he had on only a simple black wrist band with the Roman Numeral nine on it. His reaction had been mixed when he saw it among the new clothes but thought that it was a rather sweet gesture on Merlin’s part since the Organization had been a very large part of his life. In his ear sat a simple silver hoop and his hair was styled in his usual way.
The streets were lightly crowded today and he found himself smiling at the people yelling and the children laughing and the general mayhem that drifted around him. This was what it meant to be human, to be alive. He wandered down to District Two and looked around for the garage that Merlin said would be there. He found it next to a hat shop and curiously peered inside the dark building since he could not see a noticeable front door.
“Hello?” he shouted, his voice spastically echoing off the metal and wood scattered about the shop. No one seemed to be answering so he wandered inside and stepped around debris lying on the floor. In the back of the shop was a man half buried into a strange contraption and cursing his head off. Demyx felt that the man must work here and so gently tapped him on the shoulder. “Excuse me?”
The man let out a startled curse and jumped up, smacking his head on the hood of the machine and swearing viciously. After muttering under his breath for a moment he looked down at Demyx. “Oh hey kiddo…ouch…sorry about that, you scared the shit out of me…” he laughed before rubbing the back of his head one last time. Demyx stared in shock, of all the…Merlin must have known that this was where Xigbar was the whole time! “What can I do for ya kiddo?” Xigbar was saying from within the hole again.
“Um…uh…I have this…cog and my…uh, uncle, wanted me to get a replacement for it!” Demyx managed to spit out before his brain could crash on him; he fished out the cog and held it out for Xigbar.
The other man straightened again and wiped his greasy hands on his already filthy pants and took the cog from Demyx to examine it. “Well ya know kiddo, I’ve just run out of these things a few days ago, but I should get in another shipment tomorrow, how about you come back tomorrow eh?” he smiled.
“Um, okay!” Demyx smiled. As Xigbar turned around to stick himself back into the hole Demyx made a strange noise and grabbed his arm. “Is…it alright if I stay here with you?” he asked, a hopeful gleam in his eyes that the other man found himself powerless to resist.
“Sure, I’d love the company, my boyfriend works during the day and I don’t really have a steady person working here with me, so I don’t see a problem with it! But you gotta give me your name or I’ll just keep callin’ ya kiddo,” he grinned.
“My name’s Demyx!” was the quick reply as he stuck out his hand.
“Well Demyx I’m Xigbar, nice to meet you!” and with a firm handshake a strange sort of friendship emerged.
Demyx wasn’t sure he could really trust this jovial Xigbar but as the days wore on he found his doubts dropping away until there was only the pure joy of spending time with him. For some strange reason the cogs refused to come in and Merlin had to order them from another source, but Demyx continued to return day after day in order to capture even just a fraction of Xigbar’s time. Xigbar taught him how to use something called a wrench and together they fixed things scattered around the shop, sometimes Demyx got to talk to the other people that worked there, but most of his days were spent shadowing Xigbar as he fixed, created and managed things in his garage.
Everyday was something new and exciting for the Melodious Nocturne and he couldn’t wait to tell Sora all about his day. More often than not Riku was with the other boy but Demyx had learned to ignore the scowling white haired youth and focused purely on the excitement of relating his day to Sora.
“And then he gave me a sandwich!” Demyx concluded with a huge grin. Sora laughed and shook his head while Riku gave a long-suffering sigh from somewhere on the left. Merlin was out for the evening with King Mickey and so the boys had the hut to themselves.
“Wow, that is so interesting, I thought you were trying to win him back, not make friends with him…” Riku snapped snidely.
“I’m working on it! It would be easier if he didn’t go home to Marsucksia every night,” Demyx grumbled.
“I could see where that would be a deterrent, after all you aren’t getting any hot man sex,” Riku sneered.
“You aren’t getting any either, which is stupid because I know Sora wants it,” Demyx shot back. Sora had stepped off to the bathroom at that point and so was not present to see the lovely shade of red Riku turned. Demyx had become oddly protective of the brunette ever since Sora had declared them “friends” and never said anything to upset or embarrass him.
As Sora entered the room, Riku stormed out amid Demyx’s (rather evil) chuckles of delight. “What happened?” he asked sitting down across from the other.
“Oh nothing, we just disagreed about something,” Demyx shrugged as if it wasn’t a big deal. “I’m so excited Sora…Xigbar is so much nicer here than he ever was in The World that Never Was! I love it when it makes me laugh and tells me jokes and shows me new things…” he trailed off and got a dreamy look in his eyes and Sora could only imagine what must be running through his mind right now. He wondered if Demyx realized that he was falling in love with Xigbar the way that human’s did. As Demyx continued to chatter on about how great Xigbar was and repeating the events of the last few weeks (again) he concluded that he didn’t realize it and decided not to tell him; it would be cuter that way when Demyx figured it out on his own.
~*~
The next morning Demyx ran into the shop, shouting Xigbar’s name at the top of his lungs and true to form, slipped in a puddle of fresh oil and careened towards the older man who had just emerged. He squeezed his eyes shut, preparing for impact when strong arms encircled him and stilled him almost immediately. Demyx cracked open his eyes and looked up to see Xigbar looking down at him with a strange look on his face. In that second a strange spark passed between them and Demyx moved to close the gap between them when Xigbar’s large hands pressed against his shoulders to still him.
“Sorry Dem, I love someone else. You’re a good kid though,” he murmured, ruffling the shorter boy’s hair. Demyx felt as if one of Xaldin’s spears had been shoved into his body. Rejected…again. He opened his mouth to protest, to tell him that Marluxia was an evil he-bitch who was spawned from the depths of the underworld when he suddenly seemed to loose his voice.
“Um, you know…I just remembered something, I hafta… go,” Demyx whispered as he turned and ran out of the garage and down the street. The day suddenly seemed to grow much darker and large raindrops fell as Demyx sought to hide himself from curious stares. He was such a crybaby; all his resolve had been thrown from the window the moment he realized that once again he had failed.
“See Demyx? This is exactly why Xigbar’s mine and not yours, you’re such a baby,” Marluxia taunted the younger boy as he walked down the alley that Demyx had secluded himself in. Demyx looked up and scowled at the other man.
“Go away, I don’t want to play with you right now!” he snapped.
“Oh! Now big bad Demy grows a backbone, I know your type…you’ll be happy as long as he’s happy right? That type of bullshit is only good for a laugh,” he snapped. “You thought he’d fall for you after a few weeks of tagging around and working together? I don’t think so, I have him hook, line and sinker,” he bragged as he leaned against the opposite wall. Demyx refused to say anything and stared at the stones beneath his dangling feet. Marluxia made a rude noise and turned to walk away, “Demy is a crybaby,” singing across his lips as he sashayed away.
“You know what Marsucksia…” Demyx dragged out the blatant murder of the other’s name with a smirk and an evil glint in his eyes. “You shouldn’t have said those things, shouldn’t have taunted me, should have just left me alone. Because now I’m going to do whatever it takes to make Xigbar remember me and nothing you can say or do is gonna stop me now.”
Marluxia whirled around to confront Demyx but the boy was already gone and hopping across the roofs above them. “Get back here you little shit!” Marluxia screamed as he took off after him. If he made Xigbar remember, then everything would be ruined and the Boss would have his head! He vanished into a portal of darkness to try and get a head start.
Demyx proved to have better knowledge of the city than Marluxia since he arrived seconds before the other man, who was now dressed in the old Organization cloaks.
“Marly babe, what’s goin’ on?” Xigbar demanded as Demyx grabbed his hand and tried to tug him away.
“No Xiggy don’t!! Marluxia’s evil!! He’s gonna hurt you!” he protested. He yanked harder on Xigbar but the man hardly budged.
“I told you Demyx, it’s no use, Xigbar’s mine!” Marluxia cackled with glee as Xigbar shook off Demyx and moved towards Marluxia in a strange sort of trance.
“NO!” Demyx ran back in front of Xigbar and with a giant leap wrapped himself around the other man and kissed him hard on the mouth. Time stopped, it was magic, it was electrifying, it was over before he knew it. “Xiggy?” he asked as their eyes locked. There was a new emotion there, shock and awe. “Xiggy please, it’s me…it’s me Demyx!” he begged hoarsely.
“Demyx?” Xigbar whispered roughly as his hands came up to cup the back of the younger man’s neck. Demyx felt the joy whelling up within him because there was recognition there and love. “Dem...I-,” Xigbar’s words were cut short as he jerked and fell to the side. One of Marluxia’s poison roses rested in his neck.
“Oops…slipped…” the pink-haired man shrugged fatalistically. “Too bad really he was such a good fuck.”
“YOU BASTARD!” Demyx shouted as he summoned his sitar. “What did you do that for?”
“Sorry Dem, orders from the top, you have to go,” was all Marluxia said as his pink scythe appeared in his hands.
“Orders? What orders?? Who the hell are you working for Marluxia?” Demyx demanded. He received no answer other than Marluxia charging at him. Demyx, in a defensive maneuver brought his sitar above his head to catch the blow and deflect the damage.
“So now you’re going to fight me?” he sneered as he pulled back.
“DANCE WATER DANCE!” Demyx cried, releasing his water clones to surround Marluxia. But it was no use; the Lord of Oblivion Castle was not to be outdone. Demyx always was a little less powerful than Marluxia, though he was higher up on the organization scale; it always worked out that way…how was he going to do this? He needed something that was stronger than Maluxia’s stupid plants, he needed an ally, he needed….”
“FIAGRA!”
THAT!! He needed that!! Sora came in to his rescue and landed beside him.
“Having a bit of trouble are we Demy?” the teen asked archly as he rocked back and forth on the balls of his feet.
“Gee how did you guess?”
“You were late for dinner…”
“Shut up and fight.”
“Neither of you can stop me now; I am much more powerful than I was at Oblivion Castle. You simply got lucky before Keyblade Master,” Marluxia mocked, twirling his sythe idly.
“That’s what I always hated about you; you were always too cocky for your own good!” Demyx shouted launching his water column attack.
“BLIZZARA!” Sora shouted aiming his magic at his water. The columns froze and smacked Marluxia where it hurt the most. As the Nobody fell to the ground, Sora grinned and spun his blade. “Okay Dem, your turn…”
“DANCE WATER DANCE!” Demyx shouted as his clones again surrounded Marluxia, he moved in closer much to Sora’s surprise. Marluxia stood up and with one swish of his deadly blade the water vanished.
“You little bastard I’m gonna kill you!” Marluxia snarled, raising his blade again. Demyx dodged the attack and shifted the grip on his sitar, swinging it around and knocking it into Marluxia’s side. A pink blur hit the wall and collapsed, brinks falling around it. “Ow..” Marluxia murmured jerking to his feet. He panted for a moment and then prepared to attack again.
“Sora! When I do my thing you use that electricity spell of yours!” Demyx shouted back to Sora who was edging closer to him.
“Gotcha!”
“DANCE WATER DANCE!” Demyx shouted. Sora wasn’t sure why he wanted him to use Thundarga until he saw the water clones cluster on top of and around Marluxia.
“THUNDARGA!” he shouted. The electric jolt reacted with the water and Marluxia screamed in pain before he collapsed. There was no doubt in either Sora’s or Demyx mind that he was dead, after all, only dead Nobodies dissolved into darkness like Marluxia was doing at the moment. Demyx sat down wearily, looking at the black charred mark on the ground.
“He said someone higher up wanted me dead…who the hell wants to kill me?” he groaned. Sora inched closer and then noticed something around Demyx.
“DEMY!” he shouted running for him. Demyx looked up and saw Sora going father and farther away.
“No! SORA!!” Demyx shouted reaching for his hand. Sora was getting farther away and Demyx felt himself sinking back into the darkness. “I don’t want to go alone!” he shouted, trying to pull himself back out. Sora made for one last leap and for one moment as Demyx sank lower he felt Sora’s fingers brush against his. Despair swept him until a hand firmly caught his and both he and Sora were pulled into the darkness…

~*~
“So this is what nothing feels like?” Sora’s voice cut through the gloom as he and Demyx seemed to hang suspended in air. Their hands remained firmly together, both afraid of what would happen if they let go.
“Yeah pretty much…” Demyx said nonchalantly, as if he spent every day in the darkness…which he pretty much had.
“Dude, this totally sucks…” Sora snapped irritated by the smothering feeling he was feeling around his throat and chest.
“Now can you understand why I hate the darkness?” the other sighed.
“Oh yeah, I’m here for ya dude,” Sora teased. Demyx was glad Sora had managed to come with him, maybe the Keyblade Master could help him figure out what was going on with all of this. Suddenly having a heart, Xigbars lost memories, Marluxia working for a mysterious figure with a presumably tremendous amount of power.
“He remembered me…I know it…but Marly killed him before he said it…” Demyx finally sighed. Sora perked up and looked over to the general vicinity of his friend’s voice. “I feel good about this…maybe next time eh?” Demyx certainly sounded hopeful.
Sora remained silent but gave Demyx’s hand a tight squeeze to show him that he was listening and that he understood.
Demyx felt a familiar tug and grabbed Sora forcefully into a hug. Sora wrapped his arms around Demyx. “Whatever happens don’t let go!” Demyx ordered as he braced himself to be sucked into another world, he could feel Sora shaking and tightened his grip to comfort him. It seemed to work, and then the darkness was gone.
