The Plans begin
It was only a matter of time. Soon Sora and her would get married and then Ansem would end his life and she would live happily ever after with Ansem. She rubbed her hands together evilly. Her whole life felt like a game and now…the game would end with a happy ending on her part."Kairi…?" She turned to see Ansem with a grim expression on his features. It puzzled her for a few moments, but she shook it off. She smiled to cheer him up and tilted her head in a cute way.
"Yes Ansem?" She said in a loving voice.
He seemed to be glaring at her as she used that tone of voice and she regretted it as a hand came to seize her around her neck. Her eyes widened and she coughed, feeling her lungs feel empty with much needed oxygen. "Ansem?" She chocked.
"You told him didn't you?!" He got up into her face and she flinched. What was he talking about?
"What?" She continued to chock and he let go of her as she rubbed her neck, gingerly. She was taking in big gulps of breath as if she ran a long race and she looked up at him with a confused gaze.
"Riku knows about the wedding doesn't he?" Ansem asked dangerously low. Kairi gulped and nodded slowly, flinching as she did. She felt Ansem growl and she whimpered ready for another neck gripping, life chocking event, but after a few moments she blinked and looked up at Ansem to see him shaking his head at her with a smirk plastered on his lips.
"I have tamed you so well…you show so much fear for me…" He chuckled darkly and her mind began to reel with questions. This man was on an emotional roller coaster it seemed like. "Why have you told Riku?" Ansem asked and Kairi blinked.
"I thought it was okay to do so Ansem…"
"Master." He corrected and she snapped her head up to look at him again.
"Master?"
"I've seemed to be too lenient on you my dear and that is going to stop right now…" He fingered her cheek, gingerly. "But let me say you're a beautiful slave…more beautiful than my cousin's beautiful fiancé. You two shall meet during the wedding and I shall invite some other friends of Sora and Riku…it shall be an interesting wedding, my dear." He chuckled and ran his fingers over her lips and he felt her shudder under his touch. He bent down and kissed her trembling lips. "You are an interesting person Kairi."
She kept silent for the fear of saying something wrong in front of him. He sensed that and dismissed it with a wave of his hand. "You are not in trouble princess; I just simply wished to tell him on my own. Now get ready…it will be time soon." He stole one quicker kiss and smirked as she cast her gaze down to the floor and listened to his heavy footsteps as he left her. Was she right about this whole thing?
He watched his lover sleep in a peaceful slumber, his golden locks of hair that was sticking up every which way was sticking to his forehead from the sweat and his mouth was slightly opened. He looked so child-like while he slept, but his thoughts ran back to his first encounter with Cloud.
"Squall hurry up!" A feminine voice spoke cheerfully as he looked over to his shoulder to give her a rare smile. A twinkle in his eyes as he gazed upon his lovely wild spirit he was so lucky to love and be loved by. He shook his head with a little grin and shrugged his leather jacket on, painfully slow just to annoy his girlfriend. He heard her huff and he expected the smack to the back of his head as he turned and wrapped an arm around her waist. He lowered his head to the crook of her neck and breathed deeply. She smelt like Sakura blossoms and that was one of his favorite smells besides the smell of the sea because that flower smell reminded him of her and how lucky he was that she came into his life. He nuzzled her neck and heard her harmonious giggle. He kissed her neck and lifted his head to lean his forehead against her own. They gazed into each other's eyes and both smiled. His usually cold blue eyes gazed into her warm brown ones and she pecked a kiss on his lips. He smirked and pulled away from her.
"I guess we can go now…" He suddenly played his mister-tough-guy act and he motioned for her to follow. They were going to the beach. One of Squall's favorite places. So taking her hand they decided to walk to the beach since it was only a few block from his house. That was the beauty of having a house by the sea.
A few people were lying on their towels that lay in the sand, as the sun they basked in the warm sun's rays. Rinoa squeezed his hand and he gave a little squeeze back and they trudged down a sloop of sand.
"You're so silly Squall!" Rinoa nudged him with a bare shoulder and smiled. "Why are you wearing leather when it's so hot?"
"I happen to like my clothing thank you…" His brow rose and he nudged her back. "What about you, miss-I'm-barely-in-clothes!"
She huffed at him and looked down at her blue bikini. "You don't seem to complain about it when I put it on in front of you!"
He shrugged. "Maybe because you didn't make fun of my clothes at the time."
"Oh you're so hopeless!" She giggled and punched him lightly in the arm. Suddenly his shoulder bumped into something and he glanced away to say sorry when he was looking at a man with blond locks of spiky hair that seemed to go everywhere. He had a blue sweater on and blue pants with black boots. It seemed this man didn't care about the hot weather either as his brow rose as well.
"Sorry…" Squall said and Rinoa squealed. "Aerith!"
Another squeal was issued. "Rinoa! Hi!"
A woman with long brown chestnut hair and big hazel eyes, she had a pink bikini on and the two women hugged each other, while Squall glanced over at the blond man to see him staring fondly at the chestnut women seemed to be named Aerith. Squall turned back to look at Rinoa and the two women were chatting up a storm. Squall shook his head and sighed. This could take a while.
So he waited and waited…and waited some more and when the two wouldn't let up he turned to the blond man that was staring down at his boots and began to make conversation. "So…"
"So…" The man repeated and nodded his head slowly as if pondering on what to say next. "Our girlfriends seem to know each other."
"Yeah…" Squall nodded his head slowly too and held out his hand. "I'm Squall."
"Cloud." Cloud gripped Squall's hand in a friendly handshake. The grunted and nodded and let go of each others hands.
"It's a nice day…" Cloud said after a long pause. "The beach is beautiful."
"Yeah…" Squall nodded and shrugged. "I guess it is…"
Cloud nodded in approval and turned to see Aerith and Rinoa done chatting and Aerith came to Cloud's side and embraced his arm.
"Well we must be going." Aerith said to Rinoa and she ushered Cloud away as he waved good bye to the others.
"How did you know her?" Squall asked after they began walking again to the shore.
"I use to go to school with her and we were roommates at one time." Rinoa explained as she gripped his hand in her own and waved her hand around as she spoke. As people would say it 'Talking with her hand'. "How about we go out to eat tonight with Aerith and her boyfriend?"
"That sounds great." Squall said and they arrived on the shore.
After all that, time went by and many things began to change. The way they felt about each other and their girlfriend's attitudes. Then it just happened and both became lovers. No doubt about it.
He shook his head and returned to reality as he felt Cloud stir and he gazed down at his lover as he got up on one elbow and smiled. I'm so glad that I found him. He ran a hand though his lover's blond locks and let a faint smile graze his lips. Yes…I have truly found love…
Cloud stirred once again and Leon smiled as he lay his head down on his pillow and fake sleep. He felt Cloud prop up on his elbow and turned his back to him. He felt Cloud's hand on his back and he sighed as if asleep.
"Squall…" Cloud rubbed Leon's back gingerly and Leon groaned as if asleep. "Squall wake up…"
"What?" Leon asked mentally smiling. He turned to look at Cloud and was met with warm lips grazing his own lips. Leon's brow rose and he felt Cloud smile. "What was that for?" He asked after Cloud broke the kiss.
"Just because I love you." Cloud whispered and winked. "It's been quiet lately hasn't it?"
"Yes it has…" Leon concurred and propped himself on his elbow as well. "I wonder where Sora and Riku are…"
"Hmmm…" Cloud thought and laid his head back down, crossing his arms against his chest. "Let's go see if they're home."
"Sounds good." Leon nodded and he jumped out of bed and grabbed his leather pants. He felt Cloud press up behind him and he smirked. "May I help you Cloudy?"
"Hmm…" He felt Cloud's warm breath against his ear and Leon smirked in content. "I want you…"
"Oh you do?" Leon tilted his head and glanced back at him. "Well maybe after we find Sora and Riku than I'll help you with that problem."
"But Squall…" Cloud practically whined and Leon stopped him with hand, shaking his head.
"It's not our house…let's look for them."
"Okay…" Cloud was practically pouting which was quite cute in Leon's perspective.
They looked everywhere in the house and still no Sora or Riku. Cloud frowned and thought of where they could possibly be. Leon on the other hand found a clue.
"Look Cloud…it's an invitation…" Leon opened the letter and skimmed through the invite. "Cloud…it says Kairi and Sora are getting married…"
"What?! Let me see!" Cloud snatched it out of his lover's hand and read through it. His features became grim and he shook his head. "Something is wrong…"
"Yeah…Sora and Riku are supposed to be in love." He leaned up against the wall and bowed his head in deep thought.
"Squall…this was addressed to us…" Cloud pointed to both of their names and glared at it. "This is not Sora's hand writing. Look it has a heartless stamp on it." Leon looked over Cloud's shoulder and saw the very tiny stamp that was shaped into a small heartless. Leon frowned and shook his head. "Well whoever wants us to come must really want to see us. How about we go?"
Cloud nodded. "Yeah that sounds good."
It was almost time and he was beginning to dread it. Why did this have to happen to him? He didn't even have a choice in the matter. He wondered where Riku was.
Was he in as much pain and suffering as he was? Probably because Ansem was telling him that Riku was being tortured and was going to be at the wedding. He loathed Ansem with every breath he took, but he tried to control himself and tell himself everything was going to be okay and that nothing bad would happen. Well…that is until he heard the last part of the plan.
He was going to die and nothing probably could change that. Ansem had taken his key blade and probably Riku's too, but how would it help now? Nothing could help.
Some civilized heartless were getting him ready and he gazed at his reflection in the darkened mirror. He was pale and he had bags under his eyes. The walls around his heart were slowly breaking and he felt himself weaken. Ansem was doing this to him and he loathed the man even more. Suddenly, his reflection changed into something ugly and horrible. It was an eviler image of Sora and the evil Sora's eyes glowed with a crimson red color. His hair stood on ends and his face was shriveled and wrinkled. That was what the darkness would do to him and he suddenly became frightened.
"You are finally ready! Let's get this show on the road!" He heard Ansem's evil laugh echo away as Sora lifted his chin up. I'm not afraid…
It was a dark wedding. Black roses were in bundles in random places and there was a black carpet for the bride to walk on. The light was dimmed low and a many black candles burned to give off light. The benches were a dark wooden color and candles hung floating in the air. Riku was chained to the side of the evil church and would have a really good view when the wedding started. Everything was scaring him. If only he had Sora…the darkness wouldn't scare him as much, but he didn't show any of his fears and kept it bottled up inside afraid that if he did show anything, something terrible would happen.
Two Large heartless stood, guarding him and he looked to each of them. They were both fat and black and ugly with a heart symbol on their bellies. He watched as people were filling in the seats. He could remember some of them like Captain Hook and a few others, but everyone else was a total mystery. Until he saw Leon and Cloud that is.
"Oh look Rinoa!" A chestnut haired woman in a long black dress pointed to Leon. "It's your old boyfriend! He's so cute!" She was talking to a woman with shoulder length black hair with orange highlights in the front. She wore a long black dress as well and she giggled as she gazed upon her ex-boyfriend.
"Oh he has gotten cuter!" She turned around to look at her fiancé that was glaring at her with his arms crossed. "Oh Seifer! Don't be jealous…at least not of him!" She giggled and smirked. "He's not as cute as you!"
This made her fiancé, a blond man wearing a black trench coat with red crosses on the sleeves, smirk and put an arm around her. "Yeah I am pretty sexy."
"What about your old boyfriend Aerith?" Rinoa said as she looked at her friend's ex-boyfriend, standing by her ex all innocent like. "He's really hot."
"I know." Aerith squealed and turned to her fiancé and smiled. "But Sephy is much better."
Sephiroth grunted and flipped his long silvery locks to the side. He eyed Cloud with an evil smirk and felt his anger rise. "I want to run my blade through him…"
"Maybe after the wedding dear, Kairi and Sora are getting married!"
"I heard that Kairi was just going to kill Sora after to have Ansem."
"Why is Ansem even alive anyway?"
Rinoa shrugged and sighed. "Don't know, but whatever happens can happen."
"Yeah I guess so. Though we should invite our exes to sit with us!" Aerith smirked with an evil glint in her eyes. "What to have some fun?"
"Sure…"
"Oh Cloud!" Aerith called out.
Cloud heard his name and turned to see Aerith and Rinoa waving both him and Leon over. Cloud elbowed Leon and Leon turned to have his insides twist. There was Rinoa calling him on…and there was her bastard…Seifer.
Cloud was having the same thoughts, but only about Aerith and Sephiroth. His heart was racing and his breathing became labored. Leon ushered him away as he heard church bells chiming.
The Wedding was starting…
Okay I'm so sorry for not updating in a long time. I've had many things to do and I'm writing a Kingdom Hearts Christmas story. It's a one shot and it should be good. Hopefully you readers will like it. It's about Sora and Riku! And also everyone else, but mostly Sora, Riku, Cloud and Leon. I'm going to throw in Sephiroth (because I think he's hot) and anyone else I want to. Well…REVIEW!! REVIEW!! REVIEW!! (Quick note- My media miner account was deleted so I had to put the chapters up again. I added and edited some things, but it wont change the story at all. I wont be updating for awhile because I have exams to study for. Thanks!)
