It was late and Vexen really hated working so late. But of course, Xemnas was insistent that he arrange for the data frame of his new 'project' be completed. But as he grumbled, he quickly stood up from his computer chair and snapped to attention as Xemnas appeared through a Dark Corridor. "Vexen. I have a new assignment for you." A new assignment? "What? But what about the project?" Xemnas nodded. "You may continue your work on our project, but on the side, I want to put you in charge of monitoring Demyx. I want to know if he has dealings with my brother, or any others. Understood?" Vexen acknowledged it. "Yes, he does seem like the naive sort. I'll send some to keep their eyes on him." Xemnas nodded again. "Good." ------------------------- Tidus looked quickly as Demyx appeared through a Dark Corridor. "Demyx!" He said. "Yeah." Replied Demyx. "I brought you something. Instead of that useless wooden sword, try using this. It'll be a lot more effective, believe me." He said, offering Tidus a blue sword that appeared to be transparent, almost like water. "Demyx." Said Tidus as the musician turned to leave. "Yeah?" He replied. Tidus looked him in the eyes. "I saw someone from my home a while ago, after you left and before you showed up again." "Sora?" "No. It was another boy from the Islands. Riku." Demyx looked at the ground. "Yeah, Riku's fallen in with a bad crowd. In fact, I don't think he even cares about you or any of your other friends anymore." Tidus's eyes widened. "What?" He asked, confused. "Sorry, but were I you, I'd take him out. Wouldn't make a difference to him. All he cares about now is serving that lady in black Ansem is manipulating. That and killing Sora." Tidus looked up angrily. "What?" "Yeah. As far as I can tell, he's gonna come for you next." Tidus picked up his new sword. He'd fought Riku before, and the travels through darkness had only made him stronger. "Where is he?" He said, revenge on his mind.
