Author's Note: Hello everyone. I just want to say a few words and then you all can read the story. I'm getting a little discouraged because I don't think anyone liked the last chapter and I just want to know if it was good or not. I haven't gotten any reviews after I put the last chapter up and I was wondering if you readers don't like this story now and if this is true, I just want to apologize sincerely and that I promise to make these two last chapters the best I've ever written. Now with that said, thank you for reading and enjoy the second to last chapter of 'Simple and Clean'.

A Twisted Wedding

The organ began to play its murderous wedding tune. He would surely die….

Sora felt his heart pounding and his eyes become teary, knowing that Riku was watching and he was to die. It wasn't that he was scared of death, no he could live being dead, but he would be leaving Riku and that was one thing he would never want to give up. He felt the eyes of everyone and their cruel smirks. He wouldn't dare look into the crowd; all he would look at was Riku, who was chained opposite from him feet away with a tortured look in his green orbs. His head was pounding and he felt like he was going to be sick. Suddenly, he felt Ansem's hand on his back and he wanted to scream and lash out, but he knew Ansem could feel this because he told Sora that if he even tried to run…

Riku would die…in front of his very eyes. Twisted and mauled, bloody and glassy eyed. Sora could picture it and he shivered, slightly. Why couldn't the world leave Riku and him alone? Just for awhile…

"Your friends are here…" Ansem bent down and whispered into Sora's ear, a devious smirk plastered on his lips. "They're going to have fun as well…isn't this so appeasing?"

Sora didn't answer and that made Ansem furious which resulted in a painful shock through his whole body. Sora grimaced in pain and tried to hold himself up, but Ansem stopped and Sora straightened up.

"She's coming…"

The words he was dreading…they had come.

The traditional wedding tune began to play, but with a harsher tone and Kairi smiled looking straight at Sora with fiery hatred in her big blue eyes. His fist balled up and he took in a deep breath. Why is this happening to me? WHY! His rage…he wanted to hurt someone…anyone…

Riku hated to be the onlooker. Rage was burning up inside as he watched the stupid bitch prance all cheerfully toward Sora with her long black wedding dress. He wanted to kill her…kill all of them! He wanted to take Sora and hide him from all of them and act like a savage animal if they tried to even get near him. He felt his body shake and he willed himself not to snarl in rage. His breath quickened and his eyes narrowed to mere slits as she neared closer and closer…until he burst.

"AAAAHHHHHHHHH!" He screamed and he glared at the crowd who was giving him, knowing cruel looks.

"Cloud…we have to do something…" Leon stood up, Cloud not far after and they began to start toward Sora and Riku, when they felt arms around their forms, and they began to thrash around, trying to get out of whoever had a grip on them.

"You better stop, Cloud…" Cloud quickly tensed and looked up to see glowing green orbs, smirking down on him. Cloud's eyes widened and he felt Sephiroth's sword, Masamune rested on his neck, ready to slit his throat open any minute. "Aren't you so glad to see me?"

Leon growled and tried to get to Cloud until a gunblade pointed at his throat as well. "Hello Squall…" Leon closed his eyes and wished himself away, but he knew he was still in that exact spot, in his enemy's arms. He gulped and wouldn't dare look up into the eyes of Seifer. "Don't you want to hear about your girlfriend…Rinoa is such a good f-"

"Shut up…" Leon growled and Seifer smirked as he cocked the gunblade and Leon tensed up.

"Not another move Leonhart…" Seifer threatened and Leon obeyed, but loathing every minute of it. His heart was racing and he wanted to just kill the bastard. He glared at everyone that his eyes came in contact with. "Damn it…"

"That's right, Squall…" Seifer breathed in his ear. "Isn't life so much fun? Don't you wish I could just pull the trigger and kill you? You want that don't you?"

"No…" Leon whispered, furiously. "I don't want to die…"

"Well, it seems you have no choice…" Seifer chuckled in his ear and continued, "After the wedding, I can do anything I want with you…Ansem's orders…"

"So you work for him?" Leon felt Seifer shrug and he knew Seifer was smirking all-the-while. "You could say that…"

"How are you Cloud…?" Chuckling in his ear, made Cloud glared up at his long time enemy and frowned, not answering the question.

"Hmm…quiet as ever, I see…" Sephiroth smirked and Cloud shuddered as those piercing glowing green eyes bore into him as if he were fresh meat.

"Look the wedding is continuing…" Cloud blinked and watched as Kairi was to altar and all he could think was, I'm so sorry…Sora…

"Hello Sora…" Well here was the vixen herself. Sora glared at Kairi and Kairi smirked at him back. "You look wonderful…"

Sora wanted to tell her she was a slut and a traitorous bitch, but kept it to himself. He didn't want to get shocked again. Sora's eyes went past Kairi and he gazed at the seething Riku, behind Kairi. Riku was gazing daggers at Kairi and all Sora wanted to do was get Riku out of those chains…

"Riku…"

"Riku! Riku! Riku! That's all you ever would talk about! Riku this and Riku that! SHUT UP! NOW IT'S ABOUT ME! ME!" Sora flinched when his gaze was directed to Kairi and he watched as her face became flushed with anger. "Now…" She lifted her chin up; signifying that she was okay and her face became its original color again. "Let's continue please…"

"Alright, keep your shirt on…please only Ansem would want to see that, horny as that guy is." Out of the darkness, appeared Hades of the Underworld. He ran a long blue hand through his blue flames of hair and smirked at everyone. "Well, now why so gloomy Sora? Aren't you having the time of your pathetic life? Well…no worries." Hades chuckled and Sora's brow rose. "Because your soul will be mine soon enough…" He rubbed his hands together and chuckled.

"Now let's get this party started!" Hades dramatically rose his arms in the air and waited for the applause that did not come. "Well…tough crowd tonight…" Hades glared at everyone and frowned. "I can't wait to have all of your souls…geez…" He turned away and put his head in his hands. "I don't think I can go on…"

"Will you just hurry up…?" Ansem hissed and Hades turned to glare at Ansem.

"And who are YOU to order me around, my maniac friend!" Hades pointed at Ansem and the silver haired man, rolled his eyes out of sheer annoyance.

"If you don't hurry up, then I swear I won't get you Hercules and-"

"Okay! Okay! Don't get your underwear in a bunch…" He turned and mumbled. "Not like you couldn't do that yourself…" He cleared his throat and turned to face everyone again, and with a flick of his hand a big black book appeared out of thin air and then with another flick, thin black eye glasses appeared and he placed them on the bridge of his nose, while he looked down to read the books contents.

"Alright…" He closed the book and it disappeared. "Let's cut to the chase because I'm eager to get Sora and Riku's souls, and we all want to go home happy am I right?" He rolled his eyes as no one responded and shook his head. "Party poopers…"

Sora sighed and knew it was the end. Even if he did manage to escape, he couldn't fight all these villains in here alone, free Riku and he wouldn't dare look to see who he had to fight in the crowd, but he knew Leon and Cloud were here because of Ansem…he knew everything was hopeless.

"Now…" Hades waved his hand in the air and Sora rolled his eyes. He was such a Drama King…or Queen. "Sora we all know you accept Kairi to be your lawfully wedded wife for the short time you have and we know Kairi accepts as well, SO you may now die in peace or…" Hades chuckled. "In pieces…"

Riku growled and tried to fight his way through the chains focusing his energy and he felt the darkness well up inside of his slender body. His body shook for this reason and Riku suddenly felt very cold as if he was already dead. He knew that he was not dead, but only being overwhelmed in the darkness and he felt himself change.

Everyone turned their attention on Riku, unaware of the darkness that seized through his entire body. A black energy orb suddenly completely covered Riku so he was out of sight and Sora's heart began to pound. What was happening?

The air seemed to grow painfully intense and ever-so-slowly, the black energy orb completely dispersed and it left a changed Riku behind.

He was gulping for air and his eyes were closed as his right hand clutched his chest. He was wearing the attire, Sora remembered, when he was taken over by the darkness, and Riku's keyblade lay in his left hand. A frightening sword lay in front of Riku and Sora gasped at the new feature he came to see.

Raven black wings jutted out of Riku's body as Riku gave a shrilling gurgling scream. They were huge and they spread out, and as if they had a mind of their own, they began to flap. Riku began to slowly grab the sword in front of him and he descended into the air. Free from the chains that bond him and his piercing green gaze was on one person only…

Kairi…

Sora stole a glance toward Kairi and saw pure fear in her features as she gazed into Riku's cold glowing green eyes. She turned to run, but was quickly chased after by the flying Riku and Riku blinded by fury attempted to stab her with either the keyblade or the sword. Kairi let out an ear-shattering scream and everyone ducked their heads, as Riku flew past, letting out his own scream of rage. Sora took this chance to run after Riku and to get away from everyone and that chance was taken…until something grabbed Sora by the arm. He turned to face a very enraged Ansem that looked like he was ready to commit murder. And as he looked into those orange eyes of fury…

He knew he was on the 'First to Kill' list…

"Where do you think YOU'RE GOING!" He spat enraged and Sora glared at the tall silver-haired man, he arched his leg back and with as much energy as he could muster, swung it right in between the older man's legs, making Ansem bend over in pain.

"RIKU!" Sora rushed past the crowd and followed Riku, running as fast as he could. He heard another intense scream that seemed to be Riku and he followed the sound, weaving through hallways and wondering how big this place really was.

-

Taking his chance to escape as Sephiroth looked back to see Sora running off, Cloud kicked his leg back and felt Sephiroth loosen his grip as Cloud wiggled away, as this was being done, Leon did the same thing and they both looked at each other, running after Sora and Riku.

They could hear footsteps following them and both knew their enemies where coming and if they caught them…it would be the end of both of them.

"That was close…" Leon whispered as they continued running, not really caring where they were going as long as they were away.

Cloud motioned for Leon to be silent and Leon complied, listening for any sound as to where Sora or Riku were at. Cloud's head perked up and he grabbed Leon's hand. "Come on…"

-

He watched her run with overwhelming rage and amusement. Seeing, her run for her life and dodging his sword and keyblade was making his miserable day, a happy one. He continued to chase her for the thrill of it and watched her almost trip in her wedding dress as she grabbed fistfuls of dress in her hands, screaming as she ran. He knew she was slowing down and that was when he was going to attack.

His heart began to pound as he grinned with excitement. He felt cold again as when he first changed and shivered as his wings flapped over him. He felt a sharp pain in in his mouth and he grimaced in pain as his tongue ran over razor sharp fangs. Feeling them sprout and grow past a little past his bottom lip, he sigh in relief as the pain suddenly diminished completely. His eyes widened. He knew what was happening…the darkness was slowly taking over him.

"RIKU!" Riku turned his head as he heard his name, keeping an eye on the girl in front of him and he knew that voice was familiar in some way, but he just couldn't remember…it sounded like a masculine voice, but who did he know that was male? Shaking his head, he turned back to glare at the girl he was chasing and his eyes widened. Who was this girl?

He knew the darkness was taking over him and he felt sick to his stomach as he did one last dive and grabbed the girl in his arms and lifted her into the air. The hallway was dark and huge, but he felt the tips of his wings brush up against the rough walls and his nose detected the faint smell of blood. The girl in his arms, screamed and his grin grew an inch wider as her eyes were filled with terror and for only one person…him.

"Your eyes! THEY'RE RED!" The girl screamed again and covered her face with her delicate looking hands. Riku scowled and with a swift movement flew as high as the roof was and dangled her in the air as he held her left arm with his now clawed fingertips. He chuckled deeply and he raised the sword that he placed in his other hand as his keyblade disappeared. He bared his fangs and Kairi watched as saliva dripped down his pointed fangs and she followed the spit with her eyes, watching as it slowly fell off the tip of his fangs and they dropped descending down a long way and she didn't even hear as it collided into the cement floor. Her heart froze and she knew she was going to die.

He let out a long screeching cry and she was to late to notice when he slammed her up onto the top of the roof and she felt her head hit the top with a loud crack and she screamed as she felt another pain going through her stomach. As if in slow motion, Kairi glanced down with blood gushing out of her mouth and running down her black wedding dress and saw the sharp zigzagged sword piercing through her body and slowly she looked up at him with a blank expression and Riku watched the light in her eyes fade and he knew from the moment on…she was dead.

He felt no regret…he didn't even remember why he killed this girl anyway and he just pulled his bloody sword out of her slender body and he let go of her, smirking cruelly as he heard a sickly crack as she hit the floor and he looked down to see the girl was drowning in her own puddle of crimson acid namely blood. He swooped down and landed, folding his wings against his back and he took a step toward the lifeless body in front of him. Using his foot, he tapped the girl's head with the tip of his foot and rolled his eyes as blood scuffed his shoes. Shaking his head, he turned his back to her only to meet with teary aqua blue eyes. Riku looked at the newcomer and something in the back of his mind told him he knew this person.

"Riku…" Riku's chin rose just to acknowledge the man a few feet away from him all the while wondering who this person was. His head began to pound and groaned silently from the pain. The man opposite him took a step forward and as if Riku's legs had a mind of their own they made him jump back, his mind reeled with pain and with confusion to this newcomer and instinct began to take over.

He would destroy this person…and the darkness was going to help him do it.

He loved the power the darkness lent him and he chuckled with a low rumble as Sora began to near him. "You shall die…"

"Riku? You've…changed…Riku come back from the darkness…"

"I see the light that purely burns in your weak heart…what a little light…and it is wailing as if you are sad or maybe…" Riku's voice became an octave lower. "…maybe you are afraid…"

"NO!" Sora screamed and Riku's smirk became cruel as his crimson eyes began to glow in the darkness surrounding both of them. Riku with his new found power welling inside of him, could hear Sora's heart beat and how it pounded with fear and…something else that he could not explain.

"I hear your heart, little light…" Sora knew this was not the Riku that he loved and would always truly love till the end of time. He gulped and he felt the tears in his aqua blue eyes slowly descend down his now wet cheeks. He sniffled loudly and wiped his eyes, roughly, glaring at this darker Riku.

"I will get the real Riku back…"

Riku chuckled with amusement and Sora sniffled again, not believing this was happening to either of them.

"But my little light…you are looking at the real me!" Riku chuckled and took a step forward, making Sora take a step back. "Come to me…my little light…" Sora shook his head and turned to run. Riku chuckled. Everyone seemed to want to run from him today.

I have to think of something…I must get my Riku back…Sora sped down hallways and rounded so many corners; he knew he was lost instantly. He had to think of a plan to get Riku out of the darkness, but…how?

He gasped as he heard low growling behind him and the words, "Come out, Come out where ever you are…" He ran faster, sweat dripping down his brow and the next thing he knew was that he was one his butt and looking up at two pairs of eyes, glowing blue eyes and gray-blue eyes. He clutched his shirt-covered chest and tried to calm his racing heart. Feeling a hand on his shoulder, he looked up and saw in the darkness blond spiky hair and he let out a sigh of relief. "Oh Cloud…" He felt arms encompass his slender body and felt Cloud pick him up off the cold cemented floor. He rested his head in the crook of Cloud's neck and closed his eyes, trying to catch his breath. "Riku…he's…being taken over by…" Sora took another huge breath. "The darkness…"

"We figured that out…" Came Leon's voice in the darkness and Sora felt Cloud's secure arms squeeze him tighter to keep him assured that he would be fine. Sora smiled and felt himself begin to drift in and out of conscious and Sora shook his head, waking himself up.

"You must have been running for your life…" Cloud whispered and Sora nodded his head, slowly.

"Yeah…he wanted to kill me…I watched…" Sora began to feel teary-eyed again and willed himself not to cry. "I watched him kill Kairi as if she was nothing to him. He didn't even seem to remember me…" Sora felt himself relax and he sighed in content from Cloud's warm body.

"You rest and we'll get out of here, okay?" Cloud whispered again this time in Sora's ear and Sora shook his head.

"No…" Sora breathed and he climbed out of Cloud's embrace, grabbing Cloud's arm to balance himself. "I have to help Riku…if I don't…"

"We understand…" Leon interrupted softly and Sora smiled up into those soft gray-blue eyes. "Come on…let's go find Riku…"

Sora's neck hair began to prickle up and he looked up to see crimson orbs staring down upon him with a big devious grin on their face.

"I've found you…"

The other two men looked up just as Riku began to dive toward them and Sora screamed.
