Hello my fellow "Dark Rebirth" fans!

Here is the sequel to "The Fire Within Us" which takes place in the first Kingdom Hearts Game. Nyssa makes her appearance as an adult and I hope you guys like her! I will think of her signature outfit soon. Her scythe is pretty much the one that Sailor Saturn uses. I hope you guys enjoy the story! All disney characters and Final Fantasy character belongsto their respective creators. I only own Rayne and Nyssa.

Rayne's POV

If I were to tell you I found my future mate and husband by entering a Disney realm you would think I was crazy. But I'm not thank you very much. My name is Rayne and I am the Goddess of Resurrection as well as Queen of the Underworld. My husband is of course the hot headed and hilarious Hades. Our attempt to take over Mount Olympus was squashed thanks to Zeus and Hera's son Hercules. Hades and I have been happily married for twenty-one years. We were also blessed to have our beautiful daughter Nyssa.

Nyssa hadn't been a difficult child to raise and she was spoiled rotten by Hades and I since she was our only child. She was the Goddess of Healing and Mercy a title she was proud to have. It was her after all that saved my life while she was still within my womb. Physically Nyssa looked like me except she didn't have my blue eyes or highlights in her dark red hair.

Hades from the get-go fell in love with our daughter the moment he saw her. He actually fainted when she had been covered blood and whatever else a newborn had once they emerged from the womb. Personality wise Nyssa was similar to me and her father. Thanks to my idiot mate Nyssa knew how to schmooze people which I wasn't fond of but she was Hades' daughter after all so it was expected. And like my husband Nyssa had her father's temper whenever she got angry. Her skin would turn orange and her hair would burst into flames when she got pissed off.

Most of the time though my daughter was laid back like me. Not only was she a goddess but she had the mixed bloodline of a phoenix and dragon shifter. I almost forgot to leave out Hercules and Meg. The two of them were married and despite being thirty-nine years old in mortal years the two love birds still looked like they hadn't aged much. You need to thank Zeus for that because he decided to let Hercules's aging process be different than most mortals. Meg also was blessed with this gift by her father-in-law. Wonder Boy and Meg looked to be twenty-five instead of thirty-nine.

I had just finished returning from a beesechment when I felt an intruder was in the Underworld. Occasionally we had nosey mortals come down here but other than that they were harmless. This being I felt had darkness in their heart mixed in with a little light. Since I was a goddess I could transport myself places like Hades could and Nyssa could do the same.

"Rayne thank gods!" Pain exclaimed before he and Panic went to hide behind me. My eyes widened at who I saw before me. It was none other than the One Winged Angel himself Sephiroth. He was handsome and his single black wing was visible from his outfit. It was similar to his usual one from Final Fantasy 7 but slightly different. He held his sword the infamous Masamune in one hand and I guessed this was who scared Pain and Panic.

"Lady Rayne" Sephiroth greeted me. He gave me a polite bow before continuing. "It's a pleasure to meet you"

"Likewise I've heard of your work" I replied. "However I must ask what brings you here to the Underworld you aren't exactly dead"

My remark made the One Winged Angel chuckle.

"I was invited here by your daughter to meet with you"

At first I was confused why he knew my daughter but my phoenix and dragon halves notified me.

He is Nyssa's mate

Because of Nyssa's love is why this dark soul has managed to learn love

I knew this day would come when Nyssa would find the one person she was meant to be with. And Sephiroth seemed like the perfect match to my daughter.

"How long have you been mate bound to my Nyssa?" I asked.

"Not very long" Sephiroth answered. "To be honest I wasn't sure I was even capable of earning a woman's love but alas it has happened and I wanted to tell you in person what I feel for Nyssa is genuine and I will never hurt her"

"You better not" I warned. "I can feel the darkness inside you Sephiroth and something like that isn't easy to let go"

"Your correct it's not" Sephiroth agreed. "One day I hope to have it banished but it will take time but I know as long as I am with Nyssa the darkness inside me will eventually subside"

"Then I wish you luck with your battle against your inner demons, now would you like for me to call Nyssa for you?"

"That won't be necessary" Sephiroth replied. "I have things I must see to for now, as I'm sure Nyssa is going about her rounds as a goddess"

"Whoops didn't think of that"

My remark got Sephiroth to chuckle again.

"I now see where Nyssa gets her sense of humor besides her father"

Sephiroth then kissed my hand before he disappeared.

"I didn't know that guy was Nyssa's boyfriend" Pain said as he and Panic emerged from their hiding spot behind me. "He's scary!"

"Not to mention he has that sword" Panic added.

"I'm just as surprised as you are boys" I told the imps as I made my way back to the throne room.

"There you are babe" Hades greeted as I entered the chamber. My husband was lounging in his throne like he usually did whenever he wasn't scheming. "I was wondering where my queen was"

"I was actually just talking with our daughter's mate" I told my husband and he suddenly smirked.

"What do you think of him?"

"Hold the phone! You already knew?!" I demanded with a yell. Pain and Panic eyes widened while Hades chuckled.

"Babe you tend to be slightly more protective of our daughter than me so that's why I kept it quiet"

I face palmed knowing he was right and Nyssa had the right to tell me about Sephiroth whenever she was ready. Sometimes I wish I wasn't kept in the dark about my child's relationships.

"You seriously suck sometimes husband" I scolded my beloved placing a finger onto his forehead.

"Not all the time babe" Hades replied before he made a come here gesture with his index finger and I sighed before approaching him. Hades pulled me into his lap and wrapped an arm around my waist in a possessive manner. My mate then placed his lips on to the right side of my neck and began to kiss my skin.

Immediately my body relaxed and the imps made themselves scarce. Hades chuckled darkly before using his tongue to further tease me. Soon his fangs gently began to plant bites before I sensed Nyssa was coming our way.

"Knock it off Hothead" I told Hades. "Our daughter is on her way"

"Got it babe" Hades replied but before I could stand up Hades snuck a kiss onto my lips before a cloud of smoke appeared in front of us.

"Hello parental units" Nyssa said.

Nyssa wore a dark blue dress similar to the one that Meg wore except skull pins were on the straps of the dress. Our daughter's hair was in a braid hanging off her left shoulder. Black boots were easily visible a habit she got from yours truly. She had black onyx studs in her ears which matched her onyx crystal pendant that resided on a silver chair around her neck. In her hand Nyssa held the weapon she not only used in combat but as role of a goddess. It was a scythe that was given to her by the Fates when she turned thirteen. She put her scythe so it leaned against the nearby table.

Hades disappeared from his throne and reappeared next to Nyssa.

"Hey yourself kiddo"

My husband then gave Nyssa a quick peck on the forehead which made her giggle.

"So how's your afternoon been?" I asked my daughter.

"Not much" Nyssa began. "A little beseechment here, another there, ya know basically doing my duties as a goddess"

"You need to show less mercy honey we've been slow down here in the Underworld" Hades added. I smacked my husband on the head and Nyssa snorted.

"If I did that I wouldn't be doing my job Dad" Nyssa told her father. "But perhaps sending a monster or two to the coliseum upstairs to annoy Hercules might cheer you up"

"YES!" Hades roared out. He then picked up our daughter and spun her around making her laugh even more. "I LOVE YOUR IDEAS KID!"

I sweat dropped but maintained a smile as I watched Hades with our daughter. Despite his reputation my husband was a good father. Hades put Nyssa back onto her feet.

"By the way I met your mate" I said.

"About time Sephiroth did that" Nyssa replied giving me her signature smirk. "How did it go?"

"It went well" I then shot Hades a glare. "Your father forgot to tell me though"

"Dad did you really not tell her?" Nyssa demanded giving her father an annoyed look.

"First of all it wasn't my place to go blurting about your love life kiddo, second you know how your Mom gets sometimes, and third well I don't have another excuse"

"In other words you were worried Mom might scorch you" Nyssa said and her smirked widened. "Or worse kick your ass"

"That about sums it up" Hades confessed. "Now if you excuse me I have some monsters to recruit"

My husband then disappeared while Nyssa laughed.

"You like teasing your father don't you my love?" I inquired wrapping an arm around my child.

"Oh hell ya" Nyssa answered recovering from her laughing fit. "He pulled a prank on me earlier this week so I'm returning the favor"

"Oh what did he do this time?"

"He lied about a character I liked from the latest story I've been reading and it wasn't true"

That made me laugh myself.

"How about we practice some of those combat moves your grandfather taught you, I could use a good sparing"

"Oh your on" Nyssa answered with a smirk.

Later.

Nyssa's POV

"Psst!"

I woke to find Pain and Panic beside my bed.

"What's up?" I asked the imps. I had always been close to Pain and Panic growing up and unlike my father I didn't scorch them whenever I got angry.

"Sorry your Loveliness" Pain began. "But that Sephiroth guy is here again"

"Thanks boys tell my mate I'll meet him in a few"

"Just don't take too long he really freaks us out" Panic admitted before he and Pain disappeared. I wasn't wearing anything revealing so I just grabbed my robe and pulled it on before doing the same with my slippers before doing my disappearing method. I reappeared a second later in front of my mate and the imps shot me a look. I winked at them letting them know they could leave and they didn't hesitate to book it.

"I wish you wouldn't scare Pain and Panic so much" I scolded Sephiroth.

"I think their more afraid of my sword than myself" Sephiroth replied. His blade was leaning against the wall next to him. "Nyssa I must leave you for awhile"

Within my mind my dragon and phoenix halves shrieked in protest.

"What's going on?" I asked now worried. Sephiroth never left unless he had a good reason.

"There is someone who is looking for me and it won't be long until he finds out I'm here" my mate replied.

"Damn it Cloud again?!" I growled.

Cloud was Sephiroth's enemy and the two of them were always fighting. Cloud had some darkness with him like Sephiroth did but he instead of finding his light he keeps stalking my mate.

"GODDAMN IT!" I screamed as my hair burst into flames and my skin turned orange. Sephiroth had to duck as I unleashed my flames everywhere and an explosion later most of the room was scorched minus the Masamune. Angry tears slid down my face and it was Sephiroth's touch that made my skin and hair return to normal.

My angel turned me around and kissed me. I felt my face turn red and I closed my eyes as I responded to my mate's kiss. My arms wrapped themselves around Sephiroth's neck and I felt my tears being wiped away by him. Eventually our kiss ended and Sephiroth placed his forehead against mine.

"I will visit you whenever I can" he said. "You know I love you more than anything my goddess"

"Yeah I know you do and I love you too"

Sephiroth smiled at me before placing something into my hand. It was a silver angel wing keychain that had a black onyx attached on the end.

"You can put that on your scythe"

"It's beautiful Seph thank you"

My mate kissed my forehead.

"We'll see each other soon"

I nodded and watched as he retrieved his sword and he looked to me one last time before disappearing and when he did black feathers floated to the floor.

Rayne's POV

I suddenly woke up which made Hades do as well. He wore his usual pajamas while I wore my usual black nightgown. Hades and I looked to one another.

"Nyssa" we said in unison before we were out of bed in a flash. We disappeared from our bedroom and found our daughter on her knees crying very hard. Whenever our child was like this it broke my heart along with Hades'.

"Honey what is it?" Hades asked gently getting to Nyssa's level. I bent down to my daughter's level on the other side of her.

"Sephiroth had to leave" Nyssa answered. "Again"

It would appear Sephiroth has an enemy and didn't want our daughter to get hurt my dragon side told me.

"F**k" I growled. I knew who caused this pain to my daughter and his name was Cloud Strife. I brought my child into my arms and kissed her forehead. "It'll be okay my love, your mate will return to you, you know he will"

"Don't worry kid" Hades told Nyssa and he rubbed her back. "Your mother is right"

"I know but it doesn't make the separation any easier" Nyssa told us.

"Hey if it makes you feel any better honey I never liked being apart from your mother and in the end I always come back to her, if I was gone too long my ass got kicked"

I shot Hades a smile because this was true. A small chuckle came from Nyssa and she seemed to be calming down.

"I love guys" Nyssa told us.

"And we love you" I replied.

"Very much kid" Hades added before he carefully picked Nyssa up into his arms. I stood up and we decided we would take Nyssa back to her room via walking. It didn't take long for Nyssa to fall asleep in her father's arms. She did this a lot when she had been a baby and still to this day made Hades smile.

Hades and I together put our daughter back into her bed and once she was in a deep sleep I took the key chain that Nyssa had been holding and placed it on to her nightstand.

"Sephiroth must have given her that" I whispered to Hades after we left our daughter's room. "He had to leave so she wouldn't get hurt"

"Sephiroth told me about the guy constantly searching for him and there's no doubt he doesn't want Nyssa harmed" Hades agreed.

"Well we just need to be there for her" I added. I then yawned and Hades decided he would carry me to our bedroom too.

"I can walk Hothead"

"Babe you were about to fall over" Hades said. "Trust me I felt it through the bond"

"Alright you win mate" I answered giving in.

"See you in the morning babe"

"Back at you love"

It wasn't long that I actually fell asleep in his arms after saying those words.
