So here is that epilogue I promised almost three years ago! There was one more thing that was resolved in the Hikari family, and that is the realtionship between Ansem, his son, and his family. So here is some shining light on that. Hope you enjoy!

Roxas: Thank you all for the favorites/follows and reviews! And thank you for sticking around on my journey to closure. :)

Here and There

"ROXAS!"

I lazily rolled over on my side.

"hn?"

I heard the sound of heels clicking on the ground. I could almost sense the woman above me, hands on her hips and all.

"hn?"

I repeated half sleep.

Namine stood next to the bed. I could hear the tapping of her foot on our wood floor.

"What time is it Roxas?"

I retardedly waved my right arm in the air.

"I dunno. Why are you asking me such questions woman?"

"It's 3:30. And guess what Roxas Akihiko Hikari."

"what..."

"You once again forgot to pick up Blake. Now get UP"

Namine grabbed the sheets and attempted to pull them off of me.

However to no avail. My skinny woman can't handle my manly weight a minute...

"I... I did what now" I said between yawns.

"YOU FORGOT MY BABY AT SCHOOL!"

"Danks pops." Came a voice behind her.

For my kid to be young he sure is a handful.

My eyes snapped open as I stared at my ceiling.

Wait...Holy... Fuck. Fuck. Fuck. Fuck my life. This is going to be the death of me. Third time this week.

I closed and reopened my eyes to see if my beautiful wife was angry. She was. I slowly lifted my body up. I yawned and stretched my body while keeping my eyes on Namine. She had her arms was in the background swaying on his tippy toes. I guess he felt me staring cause he looked up and smiled his big toothless grin.

"Thsorry pops. I try to reason with her."

"I'm sure you did. But mommy is a fiesty one- though she doesn't look it. "

Namine rubbed her temples.

"Haha yeah I know!"

"Roxas? Blake?"

We both gulped.

Mad mommy, meant Blake was going to get a beat down and daddy wasn't gonna get none. I am almost 30, well 29 to be exact now. I still want my little girl. Namine only produced a baby boy, which I'm happy about. Blake is my lil dude, but I want a lil princess too.

"Roxas are you even listening to me!?"

Shit I am so dead.

I grabbed Namine in a bear hug and kissed her whimmpered. My son gagged. I looked at him.

"Out. Mommy and daddy need to talk."

Blake nodded.

"Ewww. "

Me and Namine both yelled.

"Blake!"

Blake ran off to who knows where.

Namine and I layed on each other. I was actually shocked I was able to get some after messing up once again with Blake. I smiled contently.

"Whatcha thinking about?"

"Us when we were younger and the promise I made when we were seventeen."

With the contents of my heart, yet,then, to be sorted. Now I'm touching shoulder with you. When we were younger on our first date.

Namine looked at me. Blonde hair framing her face perfectly.

"And that was?"

"That you'd marry me. and now look at us. Married with a kid."

I smiled happily. My dark past no longer can haunt me.I live by my future now.

Namine couged.

"Correction."

I looked at her quizically.

"Look at us now married, with a kid, and two more on the way."

I gaped at her.

"No."

She smiled.

"Yes."

Out in the open we stood, at seventeen on the day you were leaving, with not so hidden motives. A sly invitation, which we played dumb to.

The phone began to ring but I was too consumed in my lover. I kissed her and kissed her and kissed her until a certain five year old interupted us.

"Pops!"

What the hell is up with this 'pops' thing?

"Oy? Blake call my dad or daddy or something. You're making my feel old."

Blake blinked. He had the house phone in his hand.

"But you are old..."

Namine began having giggle fits while keeping her body not exposed to our kid. I looked at him in disbelief.

I am not old you little brat.

"Who's on the phone."

"Unkle."

I looked at him.

This kid realizes I have three older brothers right, well two and a twin.

"... Okay... which one?"

"Does it matter?"

I am going to murder my smart mouthed kid.

I snatched the phone from Blake.

"Go play."

Namine was still laughing her ass off. I looked at her not yet speaking to the person on the line.

"He gets that shit from you y'know. And I'd stop laughing, if he thinks I'm old you must be aged."

That earned me a death glare from my lovely.

Love you babe.

"Konnichiwa."

"Yo!"

Welp now I know which brother it is.

"Sup Sora."

"Happy Almost New Year Dumbass!"

In the backround I could hear Kairi yelling and I quote "watch your language motherfucker."

Why do women do that to us men. Tell us one thing only to do it themselves?

I laughed.

"Happy 'almost New Year Sora onii-chan."

I could almost see his big goofy grin.

"You're coming right. Everyone wants to see you and Namine and Blake!"

I looked at the time 4:00. The party to a long night starts at 7:30.

"Of course, I'm excited to see them all."

"Good. Plus we want to give you something Dad found at Grandpa's house that was labeled for you?"

I quirked my eyebrow. My heart stopped a little.

"What is it?" My mind whirled.

What did that man want?

Sora snickered.

""You'll see soon."

Namine took Blake's hand and guided him to the door. I closed the doors to the car and looked at my family.

Who would've thought I'd be alive, not crazed, and living well with people who love me? Not sixteen year old Roxas that's who..

I smirked and followed them. Kairi opened the door and almost screamed.

"AAAAAAAHHHH NAMIIIIII BLAKEYYYYYYY!"

I stared at the woman in disgust. I scoffed.

"Kairi, your going to scare the neighbors."

It seemed as though the red head got louder after having the twins.
"Give me that!"

Out ran two five year olds almost knocking me down. Namine laughed and Blake looked at me expectantly.

"Can I go play?"

"Sorry Uncle Rox!" Came Junior's voice.

"SJ!"

Little brunette Taiyo glared at her red headed brother. Blake walked over to his cousin and smiled.

"Let's sick him together Tai."

Tai's purple eyes got dark.

"Why of course."

I decided not to get in the middle of that. Walking into the house I was greeted by Ven and his wife Aqua and their eleven year old blue haired son Aoi, who was hanging over the shoulder of his favorite cousin Xayvion, Vanitas's and Xion's precious now fifteen, child, watching him play a game on his phone. I couldn't help bugt look at both of them. Aoi, even though he had his mother's eyes and hair color, looked more like Ventus than anything, while Xayvion looked exactly like Vanitas save for the longer hair in the back that was tied in a ponytail and his late mother's eyes. I spotted Violetta helping Selfie in the kitchen along with Mum. She was a striking beauty, she had the Hikari eyes and her long blakc hair fell down the teenager's hips. Xion would be proud of her beauty. Riku, Sora, and Vanitas were in the back room laughing. Dad was talking to Ventus about something. Axel and Larxene were bringing my kid and Sora's two little ones back in. The people that helped me in my f'd up teen years were still around. I even saw Hayner along with now fiance Olette, about time, and Pence sitting down chatting. It seemed like everyone took heed of me at the same time.

"ROXAS!"

Everyone hugged me. Asking questions. Namine just smiled. Sora pushed his way through.

"Sora? What did you guys want to give me?"

Sora smiled his usual grin and handed me a piece of paper. I took it looking at them confused.

"What's this?"

My dad put his hand on my shoulder.

"Just read it. It's from your grandpa."

"... Why should it."

My mother smiled sweetly a tear rolling down her cheek.

"I think, as much torment he has caused us, you should open it. He had something for each of us and they were all sweet.

I opened the note and frowned. My frown soon became a full blown smile though. I took the note and walked outside and let the wind take the note away. We all watched it blow in the wind. A tear fell down my cheek and I turned back to my family. My home.

"Let's get this party started!"

Ten.

Dear Roxas,

Nine.

if you are reading this now. That means you and your loved ones were able to get past all my mistakes.

Eight.

I know that this probably will fall on deaf ears. I know you probably hate me. I hate me too. I was stupid to take you and make your life a living hell.

Seven.

But since this is my suicide note I just want you to know one thing.

Six.

Sometimes a person needs to go through hell until they can really live. And that is what my fate turned to be, along with yours because of my idiocity. When your grandmother died I was lost. Lost in the hurt and pain. Not even my grandchildren and son could make the pain away, because I was reluctant to accept the truth. I was given the opprotunity to be granted the ability to see your grandmother again... through you when I found Xemnas.

Five.

You were the most like her out of your brother's. And Xemnas took my pain and torment and used it against me to use against you. So that night I took you and conducted experiements that ultimitely destroyed your innocence and sanity and for that I am extremely sorry.

Four.

I know this will make no difference to you but, I want to tell you what your grandmother told me before her death.

Three.

Here and there, we gaze at each other. Through the gaps, of love's good and bad, we show each in the end we send a plan for compromise.

Two.

She told me that our compromise would be for me to take care of the family when she was long gone and I failed her, but I understand now why that compromise was so important. So... my compromise to you is as the heavans, or more so hell for me, I will continue to protect you and our family... and your future family,because I know you will make it out alive with them by your side, if you can find somewhere in your heart to forgive me. I know that is asking a lot of you kid. But I may have been blinded of hate rather than love, but my love seeps through this last note.

One.

I hope you are able to follow this compromise, and if you don't I understand. But regardless I will still stand firm on my side of this deal, even if you don't accept. Tell dear Soren I apologize for being a horrible father and grandfather for my inhumane actions. Tell dear Ventus that I hope he continues to follow his dream and take care of his little brother. Tell dear Vanitas to take care of himself along with his brothers. Tell Sora to stay your rock no matter what, you two are twins, stay connected. And tell them all that I love you with all my heart and I am deeply disappointed in myself. Sorry for all the unneccessary pain I caused you all just so I can get an impossible selfish wish. It's funny though, cause now I will be able to recieve my wish. Your grandmother will be waiting for me no matter where I end up and I can see her again.

Happy New YEAR!

Love,

Ansem.

I smiled at my family. I will tell them after tonight. My grandfather took me when I was six. The beginning of our pain. Seifer, Fuu, and Rai all deepened our pain. Xion added to the pain. But one by one, my family, my friends, my future babies healed that pain. And here we stand, smiling and living life to the fullest.

Grandpa. As odd as this may sound but thank you. Thank you for a mistake that caused our family to grow closer together. And I will by all means uphold our compromise. Here and there we look towards the sky's clouds, but when it's time, our time is now, we take our stand... together.

YAY ROXAS! Happy New Year guys! BTW this was influenced by Rin Kagamine's Here and There.
