At a later time in his room, Demyx was fixing his hair in front of the mirror, compelled by something he had done when he was human. When he was finished, Demyx played around on his sitar, but he was interrupted by [[Xaldin]], who told him to keep it down because he wanted to sleep.

Demyx is present when [[Xion]] joins the Organization. [[Axel]] and Roxas often tease Demyx behind his back while eating [[sea-salt ice cream]] at Station Plaza after missions, quoting how he doesn't have talent, would be "upset" if he lost his sitar, and many other things. Demyx is the first to mention the annihilation of Organization members at [[Castle Oblivion]]. Demyx accompanies Roxas on several missions, including one to [[Olympus Coliseum]], where they take down a [[Flare Note]], and one to [[Halloween Town]], where they tackle a [[Dual Blade]]. On missions to Olympus Coliseum, he tricks Roxas into thinking he will handle Heartless outside the of the Coliseum, while the gullible boy undergoes training with [[Phil]].

Some missions have Demyx accompany Roxas to Olympus Coliseum. He tricks Roxas into thinking he'll handle Heartless outside the colosseum, while the gullible boy undergoes training with [[Phil]]. He hides out when [[Guard Armor]] interupts the Games.


Demyx enjoys picking on Xion with [[Xigbar]], and is seen playing his sitar on one of the couches in the Grey Area before many of Roxas's missions. When Roxas approaches Demyx, he willingly admits that he "isn't cut out for combat" and would rather perform recon. He is shocked to learn of Xion's true nature when [[Xemnas]] describes the [[Replica Program]] to the Organization.

Demyx appears alongside [[Xemnas]], [[Saïx]], [[Xigbar]], [[Luxord]], and [[Xaldin]] at [[Hollow Bastion]], and laughs emptily with the rest of the group at Xemnas's empty humor at Sora's expense. Upon the Organization's return from Hollow Bastion, he suggests to let Sora carry out his adventures and that they will take action at the right time. Xigbar pretends to interpret Demyx's suggestion as him volunteering, while Demyx responds by acting flustered at this imposition. Xaldin chides both of them for acting as if they have emotions, then Xemnas interrupts all three of them by instructing the Organization to create powerful Heartless for Sora to slay.

Xemnas persuaded Demyx to become a Nobody again, so he could become part of the [[real Organization XIII]]; however, this was merely to be a placeholder until a more adequate candidate could be recruited. With the induction of [[Dark Riku]] during Sora and Riku's [[Mark of Mastery Exam]], Demyx was benched; being missing at [[Master Xehanort]]'s revival.
After having returned to his human form, the [[real Organization XIII]] recreated him as the Nobody Demyx and re-inducted him into the Organization. However, his spot was taken by one of [[Vexen]]'s [[replica]]s and he was reduced to a reserve member.<!--cite to ultimania that Demyx was already benched as of TWTNW in KH3D-->

Following [[Larxene]] confirming two of the [[New Seven Hearts]] are in [[Arendelle]], Demyx meets with Luxord, [[Marluxia]], and [[Larxene]] in the [[Keyblade Graveyard]], where he complains about having been benched. Xemnas arrives to inform the four that they were specifically recruited due to their ties to the time before the original [[Keyblade War]].

Later, Vexen tracks Demyx down at [[Radiant Garden]] and tries to convince him to assist in subverting the Organization's plans, in order to atone for their prior misdeeds as Nobodies. Demyx counters that he and Vexen had no prior relationship, but Vexen explains that this is why Demyx is perfect for the role and that this is, in fact, part of [[Saïx]]'s plan.

Pursuant to their plans, Demyx later delivers one of Vexen's replicas and [[Ansem the Wise]], who Vexen had rescued, to [[Ienzo]]. Ansem and Ienzo then use this replica as a vessel for [[Roxas]]'s digital memories. After Sora and [[Riku]] defeat [[Dark Riku]] and Xigbar in the [[Keyblade Graveyard]], Demyx arrives on a mission from Ienzo to retrieve another replica vessel for [[Naminé]]. After showing Riku his [[Gummiphone]] that Ienzo gave him to prove he is on their side, Demyx takes the empty replica back to Radiant Garden.

Demyx is portrayed as being weak, cowardly, and lazy, but proves to be no pushover in the battle with Sora. He can be a formidable foe due to his ability to summon water clones that must be defeated within a time limit. Demyx, being a musician, uses music to control the water around him and to summon "water forms", objects shaped out of water into musical notes or copies of himself, which move about the battle area to hit Sora, forcing him to defeat the forms in a certain amount of time to avoid an automatic loss. Demyx can also summon violent geysers to erupt from the ground, forming strong streams of water which damage Sora and throw him into the air. His sitar is rarely used as a weapon but is most often used to play his music instead. When Demyx does engage in physical combat, he attacks using the bladed headstock of his sitar, performing spinning and twirling movements reminiscent of a rockstar to strike his opponents, which he can also combine with his water powers to increase the area of effect. Demyx does little fighting by himself, instead relying on his control of water to make it fight for him.

In ''Kingdom Hearts 358/2 Days'', Demyx has a Limit Break called [[Wave Gigs]], which causes him to play his sitar to summon water pillars and, in his Final Limit, release exploding balls of water.

<!-- move to strategy
*Despite wielding water, Demyx has a weakness against [[Fire]] magic. This is because in the magic properties of ''Kingdom Hearts II'', water is classified as a form of [[Blizzard]] magic.
