Jasper

I wake up in a sweat next to Sakura. I notice she actually looks like she's sleeping peacefully.

I try to think back to what made me wake.

But all i can remember is a mischievous smirk.

What did he say. I remember he was saying something. I try to remember so much that my brain hurts.

***

"Hey there you are again!"

I turn to see that guy again, his long brown hair whipping against his face against the strong wind around us.

He runs up to me."Hiya! Let me introduce myself again. My name is Demyx."

He smirks at me and looks me up and down, "And you must be Jasper I presume." His eyes look over my body in a way that makes me feel uncomfortable. He leans in closer to me,"You have no idea how hot you are, you're gorgeous."

I push him away."I don't care, just go away."

Demyx looks hurt for a second, but then a smile appears on his face."Oh, don't get your underwear in a bunch, I was just teasing."

I roll my eyes and walk off."Whatever."

My thoughts race, why does that stupid smirk keep running through my mind? Who is this Demyx? Why do we keep meeting like this? Why would he want me anyway?

I walk away from him and towards the forest.

"Hold up. You need to come with me."

I turn back to Demyx. "Why?"

"Because I've got information for you."

"Well, if that information is so valuable, why don't you just give it to me instead of annoying me everytime we meet."

He grins wide.

"It'll only take a minute. C'mon. Trust me Jasper."

***

"So wait! Your telling me that if I don't help out, your world and mine could collide?"

Demyx nods as we walk down the corroded road to his realm.

"You see, you and two others are chosen to defeat the demon that is causing this destruction." He says with a distant look in his eyes as he stares up at the sky.

"Two more? How many people know?"

"Only a small few. It is an ancient evil that lives in the shadow of our world. He wants nothing more than to destroy us and consume all who stand in his path. But luckily for us," he stops walking and pulls out a dagger from his pocket,"We know who he' ll be facing. We know what he looks like, how he operates, and where he might appear next."

"Who would that be?"

"There's you, Sakura, and a chick named Harmony. But she is a tricky little human to get ahold of. Nyx is in charge of getting her help."

This time when I stop walking, Demyx comes to a full stop and turns to me.

"Look, the important thing now is we have a plan. You'll be able to find your target. You'll defeat him and everything will go smoothly from there."

I give him a worried look, "How can we even defeat him if this Nyx person hasn't been able to get to her?"

He chuckles, "Trust me, we have ways to track her."

I nod, "Ok. Well, I guess I'll follow your lead, whatever that is. Where do we go first."

He walks ahead of me and gestures for me to follow.

"Follow me," he tells me.

***

We reach a big decomposing castle, "Home sweet home!"

Demyx exclaims as he pushes open the doors.

As the doors open a fist launches out and lands square on Demyx's face.

"Ouch! What the hell?!"

"Keep quiet. We aren't deaf, ya'know. I could hear you from a mile away," exclaims a stern looking male with blue short hair and ice blue eyes.

"Nyx, what the hell dude?"

"You are always so loud. How Nocturne puts up with your crap, is beyond me."

"Yeah, well Nocturne has never met anyone as annoying as you."

"Hey!" shouts another blond male, with green eyes and purple markings on his cheeks, "Watch the language. And don't forget, you two owe me one, ok?"

The first one gives me a dirty look.

"That blue haired guy is Nyx and that blonde one? Jason. They are like my very rude family," Demyx says with a sly look on his face. Like he was getting away with insulting them. Just then a shoe goes flying smack dab into his face.

"Ow. Hey, why'd you do that?!"

Jason shrugs,"Just wanted to teach ya' a lesson."

Demyx laughs, "I knew I liked these guys better."

Then he suddenly grabs me and throws them over his shoulder. "Time to go to the training yard. I heard there's a new recruit waiting to spar with ya Jasper."

My eyes widen in surprise. "New recruit?! Who is it?"

Demyx turns around, "A girl with pink hair. I think your gonna enjoy yourself."

***

"Ok everyone, let's welcome our newest recruit to the group."

I look around and my eyes widen, "Sakura?!"

She gives me the biggest grin.

"Hey, ya made it! I was worried Demyx didn't have what it takes to reach ya."

Says a guy with raven black hair and sliver eyes. He looks hot. Why does it make my blood boil that he's been talking to Sakura? with his slender body and abs that I notice from a mile away.

Then I finally notice that he's staring right at me.

I freeze up as we lock eyes, but just before I can freak out or run, someone taps on my shoulder.

I turn around to see Demyx, "Hey dude you ok?"

he follows my gaze and he gives me a sly smirk, "You worried our little raven haired Adonis is gonna steal yo girl huh?"

I see Sakura kinda stop what she was doing and giggle, making my checks burn red in embarrassment.

"Uh...no. Of course not."
