Disclaimer: I know I haven't written this in awhile… but I still don't own any of these characters.
A/N: Ok… I know it's been almost forever since I've updated… so a thousand apologies. Thanks to all those people who sent me emails… I really needed a kick in the butt. Well at least I have a good excuse. My computer broke so my mom had to buy a new one.. Which took almost a decade. My birthday was on the 6th. I have a bunch of shit due for school. I lost the floppy disk containing the next chapter… so I guess I'll have to skip that hilarious chapter. And so I have to start all over. (for the second time cuz I forgot to save it the first time) and to top it all off.. My mom put this parental shit on my screen name so I can barely do anything online!! And I wasn't even able to go on fanfiction.net!! So thanks to my continuous begging.. I was finally allowed to go on this site. (thank god…) so please review. I miss hearing from my dedicated readers. Please forgive me if this is short… and I hope they don't remove my story from this site… cuz this chapter has some "explicit" scenes. *wink wink* Thanks for tuning in to read this! Enjoy!

p.s. In my story, Sephiroth is only 2 years older than Sora…. So don't be alarmed.. Hehe.
~*~*~*~*~*~*~
"No matter when, always the two of us.. because no matter when, I'll be by your side
You're the light that finds me in the middle of the night"
Sephiroth, face full of malice and sweet victory, looked down at the prized beauty that he longed for. Her splendor was more than he could even dream of. Her skin unblemished… body so flawless… like she wasn't human. "You're mine now, Princess. I'm going to be taking care of you now.. And forever…" His large bony finger grazed her pale cheek.
"You're wrong.." she weakly moaned as she flinched away from his touch. "Sora's coming… He promised.."
"Ohhh." He chuckled. "Well.. In his case, promises are meant to be broken." There was a small glint in his eyes as he remembered his sword tearing into Sora's scrawny torso and relishing in the last moments of his pathetic life. Nothing could make him happier at that moment… not even Kairi's bare body sprawled on his.
"You're wrong… you bastard. Sora's alive.. I can feel it." Her nails dug into his shoulder. He barely noticed the pain… like being bitten by an ant.
"I'm sorry." His fingers pressed against her slender neck. "I just can't bare to see his name come out of those lips of yours. It's just not worth hearing." He removed his hand as she fell limp, unconscious, into his arms. "And I'm going to make sure that that's the last time I'll be hearing it."
----------------
Wild sobs could be heard mingled with the steady pitter patter of pacing feet. For the first time, he finally felt the pain only death can bring. But was this dying? It kinda felt like sleeping.. Only painful. Sora moaned into the silent room. Everyone jumped.
"Holy coconuts!" screamed Wakka. "HE LIVES!!" Riku made a face.
"What the hell did you say?!"
"Never mind that!!" yelled a very worn Selphie. "Sora!! You're ok!" She cupped his cheeks in her hands and shook them with excitement making him look like an over grown chipmunk. He groaned loudly and jerked away. "Ohhh, I'm sooo sorry Sora! I'm just so happy to see you… uh.. Moving again!!"
"Yeah! Kairi would be so happy!" Chimed in Tidus, forgetting the situation. Riku kicked him in the shins. "oh… I mean.. uh.. She.." Sora's eyes widened.
"KAIRI!! I must go after them!!" He attempted a wild escape for the door but faltered. Looking down, he saw that almost 75 percent of his body engulfed with bandages and large amounts of cloth. "What the-"
"You've been out cold for seven days. They're gone, Sora. There's no way-" Wakka looked at his feet in shame.
"How could you say that?! I promised her…"
"Promised her?!! Promised her what, Sora? Huh?!!" Riku shouted with half fury and annoyance. "Did you promise her that you'd always be there for her?! That you'd watch over her no matter what?! Tell me, Sora. There is no way in hell that we're ever going to find her.. Dead or alive. They're…."
"SHUTTUP!!" Sora burst. He couldn't take hearing his friend talk such trash about Kairi. "Riku… the only reason why you're not getting it is because you've never fallen in love! And you never will… ever." Sora slumped back in bed. Just shouting made him exhausted. He knew in his mind that there was no hope if he got so tired easily. But the calm voice of Riku made him look up.
"You're right… you're right, Sora. I don't understand…. And I apologize for the way I've been acting. Well… if you think you're going to keep your promise… count me in. Cause I know you can't do this alone."
"I couldn't have said it better myself." Sora beamed up at him.
"Hey! Count us in too!!"
"Yeah, don't forget we want to help too!"
Riku nodded. "We need all the help we can get. We need a boat. I saw the direction Sephiroth was going in. Tidus and Wakka, you start with the base. And make sure it's steady and secure. Selphie, you gather any supplies necessary for the journey. Sora, you just make sure you heal up as fast as you can. And I'll take care of the rest."
"Right!" They said in agreement as they set off to do as they were assigned, but of course, Sora stayed put.
Sora, looking more closely to what room he was actually laying in, saw that he was in Kairi's small nook of a room. The smallest of them all. He remembered to well the time they argued on who had to live in this room. He carefully slung his legs over the side of the bed and stood up. His knees wobbled but his footing was steady. He recalled his first steps in his mother's arms, walking towards his father. The thought made his teeth clench. He gripped the side of the bed for support as he walked inside her room. Taking in the scent of her body, feeling her presence waver around the room, encircling him in an endless wave of lust and desire. He'll never forget that night…. Ever. Feeling her bare flesh, the throbbing of his wild heart, the sounds of moans and grunts only sex can bring.
Running his battle worn fingers through all the knickknacks and furniture crammed in the room. Sora touched his wound, still feeling the pain that once lingered there. He turned to walk back to the bed and saw Kairi lying there, beautiful as ever, smiling.
"Kairi?" He cried out. "Kairi!!?" He ran towards her, not even considering the pain he was in. Stumbling, he reached the bed out of breath. Sora's fingers reached out to touch her, but her expression changed. Tears. Just as quickly as she appeared, she started to vanish.
"No!" his crazed scream could be heard from miles around. His hands groped fiercely in the spot she was laying to make sure she really was gone. He was crazy. Sora knew this.. He was out of his mind. He fell to the floor crying silently, dampening Kairi's bed sheets. Riku watched from the window, tears stinging his own eyes. Guilt filled in his chest.
"I'm sorry, Sora…."
----------------
In a wave of panic, Kairi awoke suddenly. "Sora?!!" She looked around, taking in her surroundings.
"I thought I told you never to say that name." Sephiroth stepped in from the shadows. "I see you've awaken. Did you sleep well?" Annoyed, Kairi scowled at him.
"You get me the hell out of here."
"Tisk tisk. Temper temper." Sephiroth smirked and twitched a long finger in her face. "Sora's not going to like that now is he? So watch your language, sweetheart."
Kairi sat up and squinted in the dimly lit room. It looked like an old master bedroom in rundown mansion. Large amounts of wallpaper could be seen, pealing away for centuries, and dust covered everything. A crackling fire could be seen in an elaborate marble mantle. She was lying in a four-poster bed on slightly faded sheets that looked almost ancient. Sephiroth approached Kairi in a sort of slow march. Flickering shadows from the fire made his face gaunt and ghost-like. A tremor hit her, rippling down her spine.
"No matter how often, I can't stop believing I'll be next to you in times like those.
You're the light that finds me in the middle of the night"
In an instant, Sephiroth's eyes turned from cold and malevolent to dark and heavy, yearning for his deepest desires. Before Kairi could even take another breath, she found Sephiroth's lips locked on hers in a heart shattering kiss. She couldn't stop it from coming, just feeling him up against her made her think longingly of Sora. Sephiroth's kisses were long and hard, their lips crushing into each other. She was everything he imagined and more. The way her body strained and trembled against his. Naked aggression, frustrated passion, pure rage, erupted from him, into her, creating a kiss beyond anything she'd experienced. His hand reached into her hair and yanked her back for a breath. His hormones taking full control now, he threw her on the bed creating dust to hover above the surface like a haze of mist.
She could feel his warm breath quickening with excitement as he impatiently tore open her blouse. Sephiroth could clearly see the quick rise and fall of her chest, her heart racing, calling out to Sora, forcing herself to believe that any moment now he'll come bursting through the door. But he never came. She refused to think of never seeing him again. Sephiroth's cold hands managed to pry her legs apart and he began to grind his erection against her. She cried out in anguish. In reaction to her burst of fear, Sephiroth ripped off her skirt, leaving nothing. She tired to scream, to see if anyone could hear her. But to no avail His mouth met hers again, swallowing her moans like a man in the desert gulping down water. He fought against her desperate attempts to get him off of her, barely even noticing. Sephiroth began to take off his own clothes, throwing them to the floor. Kairi felt the first licks of panic sneak through the annoyance.
----------------
Sora could hear hammering in the distance. Selphie was standing next to Kairi's bed, filling up his glass of water for the hundredth time that day.
"Great, now my new hobby will be pissing." Sora said sarcastically trying to get Selphie's attention. Noticing for the first time in almost a minute, Selphie saw that the glass was overflowing.
"I'm so sorry Sora….. I was just lost in thought that's all." She tried to apologize hurriedly, but Sora just waved it aside. "I just keep thinking that it was our fault that Sephiroth got away. We should've went after him, but we were to worried about you. We thought you were.."
"Dead." Sora said, in a sort of monotone voice. Sora finished her sentence automatically. He knew what she was going to say… he knew it himself. "It's not your fault. Don't even worry about it. I'll get well soon, the guys will finish the boat, and Riku will stop being so bossy." A distant yell told both of them that Riku heard him. "Anyways, we'll get Kairi back and everything will be back to the way it should be…. Like nothing even happened." He wanted so much to not cry at that moment. So instead he flashed her a brilliant smile. Selphie was surprised at how Sora was taking the loss, but she still worried… but didn't show it. She smiled back.
"I'm happy to see that you haven't lost your spirit. You know.. Kairi would be really proud of you right now."
"Yeah, I guess you're right."
Selphie wanted more than anything to actually believe in the words she was preaching. She felt so sorry to see Sora in such a state she's never seen him in before. So helpless. Hope dwindling out of him every day, but his love still burning as bright as a thousand suns.
"Thank you, Selphie. Thank you for believing in me." He reached up and hugged her.
"Any time, Sora. Just don't get to carried away… Riku might get the wrong idea." Sora let go and laughed.
"Right."
Faraway, Sora and Selphie heard a loud bang followed by painful yelps.
"Sounds like Tidus hit Wakka with the hammer again."
"Again?!" Sora chuckled.
"Yep. He did it three times while you were asleep. I have no idea how you could've slept through all the racket."
"Yeah. Kairi said that if I could sleep through Riku's snores, I could sleep through anything."
Another anguished yell came from Riku. Selphie grinned. "Kairi always knew what to say when things got rough." Sora nodded and took a deep breath. Talking about Kairi was getting harder and harder the more he thought about her being so far away from him. Selphie noticed in an instant.
"So I guess I'll refill the water pitcher… since most of it is on the floor." Selphie closed the door behind her as she left leaving Sora with his far-off thoughts about himself, Sephiroth, and most of all, Kairi. He felt his heart ache like never before.
He stared out the window then sighed. "They'll never change." Wakka was chasing after Tidus who was weaving back and forth to avoid being hit my Wakka's blitz ball. Riku could be seen standing in the background, shaking his head with pity.
"Give meh the hammer you over grown rodent!!"
"You can't catch me! I'm the gingerbread man!!" Tidus cackled, running into the forest. Wakka tore after him.
"They'll never change…."
---------------
"Tell me who your lover is." He moaned in her ear, almost like a deadly whisper, "What's his name.." Kairi hesitated. Impatiently, Sephiroth gripped her hair and jerked it back. "TELL ME!!" Fearing what he might do to her if she said Sora's name, she shrieked, "SEPHIROTH!!"
"That's right, bitch." Both hands gripped her hips and he drove himself into her, making her feel like she was being torn in half. Her throbbing muscles contrasted around him. If she hadn't had sex with Sora the other night, she would've been so dead. With one rough stroke, he drove her hard with his first towering climax. Their lips met again, Sephiroth's tongue plunged into Kairi's mouth and it explored all the crevices in her mouth. Kairi could even taste the hunger of desire in his mouth. Still straddling her waist, he dove in deeper, making her yell out in pain. Her nails dug deep into his back. His hands gripped her waist again in response, making her back arch like a gymnast.
After almost an hour, hot tears burned on her cold skin. Sephiroth, after long last, removed himself from within her, making her wince. She could feel her muscles aching with pain for the time he was in her. His thumbs brushed across her cheeks, wiping away her tears. No matter how much Kairi wanted to stop him, she didn't have enough strength to even lift a finger. Sephiroth smirked, knowing she couldn't. He leaned over and sank his teeth into her shoulder blade. Dark blood splattered the unblemished sheets. Warm blood filled his mouth as he sucked on the wound. Kairi's face was scrunched up in pain, feeling his tongue racing across her bare skin. A large red blot surrounded the spot where he had sucked on her cut. It was bleeding only a little bit after he pulled away from her. His eyes then turned a dark red, like blood. They bore into hers. No matter how hard she tried, Kairi couldn't look away. The stare made her temples throb and brow furrow. The intensity of his eyes alone were enough to make anyone scream and run away. Kairi's breath caught in her chest and her expression altered. Instead of showing fear and pain, she looked almost in a trance, like she was being controlled. Her mind was cleared of all thoughts and worries.
"SooOo-rrrRrr-aaaaAAaa….." She moaned. Sephiroth's eyes narrowed.
"I told you to NEVER say his name, AGAIN!!" His hand came pounding down to her face and all turned black.
-----------------
"KAIRI!!"
Sora woke with a start. He almost thought he heard someone. Kairi… Face paler than the moon, he sat up in bed.
"Man, I could really use a glass of water right now." His eyes trailed to the empty glass on the table. "Where's Selphie when you need her?!" Looking out the window, he sees the spot where he did that pointless dare Riku made him do not to long ago. And the spot where he confessed his love to Kairi and where he totally humiliated himself by telling her he wanted to fuck her. The good old days. He let out sigh. "Dammit, Kairi. Why'd ya' have to leave me like this?!! Ya' could've said you wanted to move to the other side of the Island for a couple of days. But no. You just had to get kidnapped by some psycho freak who thinks you're a Princess. But of course you are… but that's not the point!! He's probably having sex with you right now!! God, Kairi.. How could you do this to me.." He didn't even notice there were tears falling down his cheeks. "But I'll find you. I promised, baby. I just don't want to lose you…" His knees buckled and he feel to the floor weeping.
Behind the door sat Selphie. She had tears in her eyes too. Her hands clenched tight around her water pitcher.
"I'm sorry… I'm so sorry Sora." She whispered under her breath between her own sobs.
"When you walk away you don't hear me say… please baby… don't go.."
