If Only I Hadn't Killed You

Sephiroth and Aires snuck out of the party into the romantic moonlight. Sephiroth held his angelic bride whilst thinking of how beautiful she looked in her wedding dress.

A smile appeared on Aeris's face as she picked up on his train of thought using her magic Ancient Telepathie, "Thanks Sephy-kins! You look amazing to!1! I can't believe we're marryed."

"Yes." Sephiroth said, his eyes getting a guily look in them, "If only I hadn't killed you. We surely would have fallen in love and been married so much sooner. Instead you had to experience all that pain of dying." "Sephy it's ok. I totally forgave you for that when Red XIII... er... Nenoki I mean accidentally brought you back to life with the spell in that Ancient Book. Who would have thought that his dog-lion-cat (A/N: I mean what is he anyway?) kind were actually related to the Ancients and could read there magic language!!1"

"Its amazing." Sephiroth said, "And it brought me to you. I'm the luckyest man in the whole planet."

"I love you Sephy." Aeris said sweetly staring into Sephiroth's glowing catlike eyes.

Sephiroth smiled a rare and beautiful smile, "I love you ro Aerith."

(A/N:!!! This is my favorite part!!1! ZOMG!)

When they kissed Aeris's powers showed her the rest of her second life. She and Sephiroth would move to Costa del Sol and have three sons who all looked like him and a daughter that looked just like her. There daughter would fall in love with Clouds and Tifas oldest son. Then there boys would each marry Yuffies and Vincents daughter, Cid and Sheras daughter, and Renos and Elanas daughter. They'd all grow old and gray (or grayer in Sephys case ;) ) together as one big happy family together.

The End!!! (maybe... ehehe...)

Within seconds, reviews came pouring in from rabid fans all over the internet. The author was glowing with pride as all of her friends demanded another story while gushing about her ability as a writing genius. Joy was expressed through pixilated smiley faces and exclamation points as another bit of Final Fantasy VII fanfiction escaped into the universe.

Frozen in Sephiroth's arms, Aeris whispered, "Is it over?"

Slowly Sephiroth's eyes scanned the area around them, "I think so."

"Thank goodness." Aeris sighed in relief, pulling away from Sephiroth, "I'm not sure but I think this was the worst one yet."

Sephiroth nodded in reply shrugging out of the jacket of his tuxedo. It was warm in Costa del Sol and he could not stand the stiff restraining material any longer. He tossed the jacket onto the beach and went to work on cuff links on his sleeves. It would have been perfectly respectable for him to get married in his Soldier uniform. Really he did not understand why there were not more stories where he married Aeris dressed in the familiar black leather suit considering the stereotype of the authors of these stories. Didn't fan girls drool over the idea of him in black leather?

"I know this is the worst dress I've ever had to wear." Aeris muttered trying to decide the best way to walk in the silk and lace monstrosity without falling out of the low cut bodice, "What are these girls thinking? It's not a problem during the story. It seems like every author describes me as moving down the isle 'like a goddess'."

"You do resemble a lace doily that someone's grandmother would collect." Sephiroth said blandly.

Aeris shot him a withering look, "Oh, shut up."

"Now, now..." Sephiroth tugged off his tie with a smirk, "Is that really any way to speak to your new husband?"

Suddenly Aeris's face split into a wide brainless grin. Her eyes took on a glazed, love struck look as she waddled closer to him, "Oh, you're right Sephy-kins! How could I ever disobey you?"

Sephiroth looked queasy, "You've made your point. I feel suitably chastised now."

Aeris's expression turned theatrically wounded, "But Sephy-Weffy-Woo-Woo, love of my life, you know I admire you cunning brain as much as your ethereal good looks and godly abs!"

"Aeris..." Sephiroth warned darkly.

"Take me now you wild chocobo!" Aeris cried holding her arms out to him.

"Never..." Sephiroth shuddered, "Ever... say that again."

"Don't you looooove me anymore?" Aeris whimpered, lower lip trembling.

"I thought shoving my sword through you explained my feelings pretty well." Sephiroth deadpanned, "I despise you."

The gleeful loving look on her face vanished from Aeris's face as quickly as it appeared. She met Sephiroth glare for glare, "The feeling is more than mutual, murderer."

"Freak." Sephiroth sneered.

Aeris gasped, offended, "Psycho!"

"Pathetic." Sephiroth said, rolling his eyes, "Although I guess I shouldn't expect from a planet worshiping child."

"Sure beats the crap out of being a science experiment gone wrong and Hojo's son." Aeris shot back, "I mean... ew."

That one stung. Even Sephiroth cringed a little as he thought of the man who was supposidly his biological father. Aeris laughed when he didn't immediately respond, "Is that all you got, mama's boy?"

"I hate you." Sephiroth growled, scowling down at her.

Aeris did not let Sephiroth scare her, even when he tried to get in her face and intimidate her, "Not as much as I hate you."

Sephiroth clenched his fists, his nails digging crescents into the leather of his gloves, "You're lucky we're all immortal here or I would-"

"What!?" Aeris spat back, "You would what?"

Both were silent a moment before their lips met in a kiss filled with all the heat and violence of their argument. Aeris's hands fisted in Sephiroth's shirt, dragging his face down to hers. Sephiroth wrapped his arms around Aeris's waist and pulled her body tight against his. His lips moved over hers punishingly, Aeris did not back down though. Her fingers slid up over his shoulders to tangle in his hair.

As suddenly as it started, the kiss stopped. Aeris's eyes opened and met Sephiroth's. There was a moment of stunned silence before they pulled apart. Sephiroth's eyebrows arched up nearly to his hairline. Aeris's hands flew to her mouth. Neither could take their eyes off the other.

"Oh my god..." Aeris moaned, her hands covering her face.

Sephiroth ran a hand through his hair, drawing in a ragged breath, "That... never happened."

"Right." Aeris agreed, nodding furiously, "Absolutely."

"Good." Sephiroth replied stiffly. He shuddered and stalked down the beach away from her without a backwards glance.

Aeris turned to exit in a similar fashion when she realized that she was still trapped in her dress. With a sigh she hiked up the skirts and dragged herself back towards the villa. Dignity be damned. She had to get off that beach. Silently Aeris prayed that someone would be there to save her from the author's hideous creation. All she wanted was a shower and sleep. Hopefully she could forget this day in its entirety.
