  "GET BACK HERE DAMNIT!"
  "N-n-no!"
  Demyx cast one terrified glance over his shoulder at the silver fox Audio chasing him .  Darnit, he couldn't even remember what he had done wrong!  Unless of course the other was still ticked off about that whole water blast thing.  Whimpering a bit, the sitarist looked around for any source of escape.
  Unfortunately, the only thing he could find was a purple coated Audio ahead a little bit.  Now...to take his chances with this one...or continue on and find another route of escape?  A sudden enraged snarl from his pursuer made up his mind, it was time to find shelter now.  Hardly casting a glance at the newcomer, Demyx dove behind the purple coated one.
  Now he just had to hope he was somewhat friendly.
  Lunaris skidded to a halt before the other, growling as his prey was mere feet in front of him and yet, at the moment, unaccessible.
  "...do you mind moving?  The little brat I want to tear apart lies just behind you..."

			            The purple clad audio stood alone in a blissful silence as he mulled over his thoughts. He had been fortunate enough not to meet any other audios just yet...that was, until now.
  A flash of blinding flesh tan fur. "What the--?!" Herman, turned to see a cowering audio at his feet. "Who the hell are--?!" he demanded of the newcomer, before his attention was drawn away by the second demanding voice. "As a matter of fact, I do!" he snarled, driven to anger by this violent interruption. "Who the hell are you?!" he questioned Lunaris, bearing his teeth slightly. 
  Herman was solitary by nature. He didn't need anyone by his reasoning and he never would. Although he'd sooner be rid of these two then be thrown into whatever their issues were with one another, his curiousity was peaked. What harm could come from hearing their story before handing over the little runt?

			            "He's t-t-trying to kill me!  K-k-keep him away!!"
  Demyx cowered behind Herman, looking at the other two Audio nervously.
  "I d-don't want to die!"
  "Well maybe you should have thought of that before!"
  Lunaris snarled at the younger Demyx, who immediately ducked back behind Herman in an attempt to make himself invisible.  Ears flattening in annoyance, he turned his silver gaze to the purple clad one.
  "The little one there decided to slam me into a wall with some sort of water trick on our previous meeting, and I merely wish to pay him back the favor..."
  "Yeah, by k-k-killing me!!"
  "Shut up runt!"

			            Herman pondered this a moment. So this was all over a water fight? Well, he could understand that to some extent. Having a strong affinity for his trademark purple jacket, he could certainly imagine harming the little runt if he'd gotten a water stain on it. Eyeing the silver-eyed stranger, however, he noticed no such stains marring his cloak. Letting out a disgruntled growl, he questioned, "You're going to kill him for messing up your hair?"

			            "No you fool, you don't understand..."
  He didn't get any farther in his explanation however, soon finding himself slammed into yet another wall by a blast of water from the blonde Organization member.
  "Don't call him a fool, he's not stupid!!"
  Demyx stood now, peeking out from behind Herman just enough to blast the other away.  Despite only knowing the purple coated one for mere minutes, he had taken a liking to him.  Anyone who didn't beat him up within 5 minutes of knowing him was okay in his book.
  Lunaris meanwhile, slid down the wall into a heap on the ground.  Damn that kid!  As soon as he felt he could walk again he was so dead!

			            Herman stood aghast as the stranger he'd been talking to was thrown against the wall in a gush of spouting water. His stunned gaze flew from the crumpled figure to its source. The small tan pup at his feet? But how? Where had the water come from?! "Hey...how'd you do that?" he asked, the gruffness leaving his voice. His anger forgotten, the grey one took a good look at the smaller audio. He wasn't quite a pup after all, although his apparent cowardice made him seem of a younger sort, perhaps if only mentally.

			            "Do...what?"
  Demyx blinked at the other, ears flat and paws shifting about nervously.
  "Oh..wait...you mean the water thing right?  Heh...Well I...er..."
  This was always so awkard.  Demyx knew he had some sort of hidden power, but how do you explain something like that to someone else?  The water trick was natural for Demyx, trying to explain it would be like trying to explain how to breathe.
  "I er...I don't really know?  I can just do it, that's all..."
  Demyx glanced over at the still Lunaris before turning his gaze back to Herman.
  "Thanks for standing in his way!"
  The younger Audio threw his arms around the grey one in a brief hug, before quickly skittering back and returning to his nervous shifting.

			            Herman's ear twitched as he contemplated the possibility of this "magic" act being the real deal. How could it be?! And yet, he'd seen it with his own eyes. So wrapped up in thought was he, that Demyx's hug, though brief, stunned him. "Hey! Cut that out!" he growled slightly, rubbing the cloth of his jacket back into it's smooth and unwrinkled state. "Just go..and take your friend with you." Herman didn't like owing people favors, and he certainly didn't need anyone owing him one.

			            "He's not my friend!  He's really mean..."
  Demyx tilted his head, not seeming to understand the part about him going away.  Instead the young blonde stayed put.
  "Heeey...nice jacket by the way!  Not a color you see often, but it looks good!"
  Tail wagging behind him, Demyx grinned at Herman.

			            Herman scowled slightly. Wasn't the little squirt getting the point?! He wanted to be left alone! The compliment on his jacket, however, brought a smirk to the audio's muzzle. "Thanks. I got it custom made." Turning to the side, Herman posed a bit, almost unconciously shrugging off the whole situation to strut his stuff for a potential fan. 
  Although he might appear a typical audio on the outside, Herman took on quite a different face to those who knew his alter identity. "The Shocker" he called himself, a master thief known well to those from whom he stole. For now he hid that identity, however. Afterall, no one needed to know who he was. At least not until after he'd made off with their treasures.

			            "Oooo...I like it!  I don't get to see a lot of colorful outfits like that, since the others I'm with all have the same coat as me..."
  Demyx admired the coat further as Herman posed, a grin crossing the younger one's muzzle.
  "Nice goggle things too!"

			            The grey audio's smirk widened. "Thanks. They're hard to keep clean but it's worth it.." He wasn't sure whether it was the flattery or the fact that he might be going soft, but this kid seemed okay. At least he had a good fashion sense. 
  "Others?" Herman blinked down at the young audio, his eyes alight. "What others?" If they had something of value, maybe his trip here hadn't been a waste. Besides, he wanted to learn more about these supposed "powers".

			            "Uh huh, others!"
  Demyx grinned, tail swishing behind him.
  "There's thirteen of us, though I haven't quite met everyone yet...  There's the Superior who's kinda scary, and Xigbar whom I haven't quite figured out yet....then Zexion who likes to be left alone, and Saix who's really mean but I think he's misunderstood..."
  Never did it really cross the young one's mind that just maybe he should be keeping these things quiet.  But really, he didn't see any harm in sharing this information with Herman, even if he had just met him.  As he went through the members, Demyx floated a small bubble above his outstretched paw, displaying their respective number and even their weapon if they had one.
  "Lesse...Luxord's really really nice, he's the one I stay with.  Annnd Axel's my friend, but I haven't seen him lately... Roxas is even younger than me, and seems pretty confused, but he's my friend too!  I haven't seen Marluxia a lot, so I haven't really figured him out, annnnd Larxene is pretty nice too.  And then finally there's me, I'm number nine!"
  As he finally finished going through who he knew, Demyx floated his own number and small bubble version of his sitar above his paw.
  "So yeah...the others!"

			            Herman watched the bubble intently as the numbers and objects flashed by in less than sequencial order. Weapons might sell well in the underground market, especially ones of such intricate design as these. And if the "others" were as forthcoming with information and dim-witted as this little one, this job would be easy. "Do they all have powers like you, er..nine?" He hadn't quite discovered a name for the little tan one yet, so this would have to do until he felt like blurting it out.

  Demyx stopped, blinking as he tried to recall anyone else's.
  "I er...I guess that's all of them I know.  I've seen the others fight but never knew what elementy thing they were..."
  He shrugged it off, poofing the small bubble from his paw.
  "Hey wait...I dunno your name!  Mine's Demyx, Saix said my full title was The Melodious Nocturne...  What's your name?"
