Is This Just Another Lie?

- Big Deal -

"Tidus do you want anything to eat because I could cook you something," Selphie said staring at her blonde fiancé. Tidus shook his head. Selphie sighed. "Come on Tidus you've been quiet ever since we arrived at my apartment…what are you so worried about?"

Tidus shrugged. "I just feel like being quiet," he replied staring at the brunette woman. Selphie sighed and looked over at the front door. She was obviously still worried about Kairi. "Selph she's a big girl she can take care of herself."

Selphie nodded. "I know I just worry she might've passed out somewhere," Selphie said tapping her fingers on the table. "She hasn't exactly been in the best health lately." Tidus nodded. Selphie laughed. "We have the apartment all to ourselves and all we can talk about is Kairi."

"Well what do you want to talk about?" Tidus asked raising an eyebrow. Selphie smirked and dropped wedding magazines onto the table. Tidus gulped. He knew how Selphie could be when she wanted something to be absolutely perfect. "Why did I even ask?"

Selphie giggled patting Tidus on his head. "Because you're my fiancé," Selphie replied handing him a tuxedo magazine. "I'm thinking I'm going to wear a yellow wedding dress so you should wear a black tuxedo because everyone knows if you were to wear a white one I'd have to wear a washed out yellow color and then we'd clash!"

"Right," Tidus muttered. He never understood things when it came to color coordination. It was a good thing he had wanted a black tuxedo in the first place.

Yuffie bounced around her and Riku's bedroom already in her pajamas even though it was only ten at night. Usually she went to bed and got dressed around one in morning. But she didn't have to tonight because she had finally finished Dagger's novel. Tomorrow she would have to call her and discuss it.

She picked up her brush and started to brush her black locks. She smiled at her reflection. "I look tired," she said happily making faces at herself. Riku came up from behind her and patted her head messing up her hair. "Riku," she whined crossing her arms.

Riku chuckled. "It'll only get messed up in your sleep," he replied. "And what's with the bags under your eyes…your not getting enough sleep are you?" Yuffie shook her head still staring at her appearance.

"But I'll get a goodnights sleep tonight," she replied tearing her gaze from the mirror. She looked at him and smiled. "Now if you excuse me I'm going to sleep."

Riku picked her up. "Well I'm going to sleep with you," Riku said tossing her on the bed. Yuffie frowned sticking out her tongue. "What?"

"You didn't have to throw me," Yuffie whined slipping under the covers. Riku rolled his eyes and cut off the lamp. Yuffie rested her head on the pillow closing her indigo eyes. Riku laid next to her and tapped her arm. "What?" Yuffie asked keeping her eyes shut.

Riku looked away. "Well I was thinking…"

Yuffie chuckled. "Oh my god you were actually thinking," she joked opening her eyes. "So what were you thinking about Riku?"

Riku looked away slighting embarrassed. "I was thinking about becoming a father," Riku mumbled. Yuffie's eyes widened. She hadn't expected Riku to actually think about something as serious as that. She had expected him to ask about lunch tomorrow or if she would be home at the usual time.

"Y-You want a baby?"

Riku nodded slowly. "We could be parents…" he whispered staring at Yuffie. Yuffie twiddled her fingers. That thought had never crossed her mind. She could be a mommy and take care of a little girl or boy. Yuffie smiled.

"That would be great," she said grabbing Riku's face and locking with his aquamarine eyes. "I didn't know Mr. Macho had a soft side." Riku smirked. "Well goodnight Riku talk to you in the morning."

"Wait."

"What is it now?" Yuffie asked grumpily.

Riku sighed. "Well…do you want too…?"

Yuffie turned red. "You want too?" Riku nodded. She looked away. This was all so random yet she had a feeling Riku had planned it. She nodded with a small smile. At least her first would be her husband.

"Sora why didn't you watch the weather broadcast!" Kairi shouted running through the city beside the brunette man.

Sora grinned. "I don't like to spoil my day!" he shouted back over the thunder. Kairi rolled her eyes. Sora was still very immature. "Besides then we wouldn't have had our adventure through the 'jungle'!"

Kairi giggled. "Sora you're an idiot!" she shouted. "We're both going to get colds because of your stupidity!" Sora stopped running and grabbed her. "Sora!"

"I'm going to guarantee we both get sick," Sora laughed pinning her against the wall. Kairi frowned and whined. She had work to do when she got back home she couldn't get sick or else she would have to put it all on hold. "Sora come on please let's go!"

Sora shook his head. "Nope," he replied picking her up bridal style. Kairi frowned banging her fists on his chest. "Not until you agree to stop being a workaholic."

Kairi sighed. "Okay," she replied. Sora grinned. "What?" Sora ran under the cover of an hotel entrance and pulled out his cell phone. "Sora what are you doing?" Kairi asked suspiciously.

"Text messaging again," Sora said pressing the buttons on his phone. Kairi peered over his shoulder to see what he was typing.

Selphie,

Kairi and I have decided to rent out a hotel room for the night. But I promise I'll return her to you at work tomorrow…maybe. Lol, see you later.

Sora Zizurri

Sora hit the send button and turned around to see an angry Kairi. "What?" he asked wrapping his arm around her waist. She only glared at him. "Come on Kairi be a little spontaneous!" Kairi smirked evilly. She would show Sora spontaneous all right.

Sora opened the door to the hotel room he had got for them. Kairi smiled and jumped on one of the twin beds. She buried her face in the soft pillow. She had forgotten the pleasure of staying in a hotel. She hadn't stayed in one since she was fifteen. Sora walked over and sat on the other bed staring at Kairi.

Kairi smiled at him. "This was a great idea Sora," she said sitting up on her bed.

Sora grinned. "I told you!" Kairi nodded and pulled off her wet shirt. Sora turned red covering his face. "Kairi what are you doing!" he exclaimed.

Kairi giggled. "I can't stay in these wet clothes you know," she said standing up and slipping out of her wet skirt.

"D-Do you have to c-change right in front of me?" Sora asked waking her through the slits between each of his fingers.

Kairi stuck out her bottom lip. "But I would be alone in the big, scary bathroom," Kairi whined jumping onto Sora's lap. Sora's body temperature went up. What was wrong with Kairi? Did she get waterlogged outside? Kairi ran her finger down the middle of his chest giving him Goosebumps.

"K-Kairi," he mumbled staring at her with a shocked expression. Kairi winked at him pushing him down onto the bed. Sora opened his mouth to speak but Kairi stopped him with a kiss. Sora was burning inside. He didn't know what to do…should he follow Kairi's lead or push her away?

Kairi pulled away and jumped off of Sora. Sora blinked confused. Kairi winked at him. "Was that spontaneous enough for you?" she asked picking up her wet skirt. Sora's jaw dropped. That was all a trick.

He smirked. He would get her back all right. Sora grabbed her by the waist and pulled her back onto the bed. "Sora what are you doing?" Kairi asked staring at the brunette man with frightened eyes. Sora pulled off his shirt showing Kairi his very muscular body. Kairi turned red. "Sora…"

He winked at her mockingly. Sora started kissing her making her turn even redder. Was Sora getting revenge or was he serious? He ran his finger down the middle of her stomach. Kairi shivered grabbing the pillow and slipping it over her face. Sora laughed removing the pillow. "Wow Kairi you really thought I was about to do that with you right here and now?" Sora asked rolling over so he was lying beside her.

Kairi nodded. "I didn't do all of that to you," Kairi replied. "You really scared me." Sora smiled and hugged Kairi.

"I'd never do that to you unless we were married and you wanted too, what do you think I am a rapist?" Sora joked.

Kairi shook her head. "No you would be a rapist if these were down!" Kairi laughed pulling off Sora's wet pants. Sora blushed.

"Kairi!"

Kairi laughed. "At least you wear boxers they could double as shorts if you had the right kind…of course if you wear red ones like yours maybe not," she laughed pushing him off of the bed.

Sora pouted shaking the water out of his hair. "Well Ms. Pink under wear you don't have to wear such a revealing bra!" he exclaimed poking her cleavage area. Kairi slapped Sora across his face.

"Don't touch me there!" she shouted covering her chest with her hands. Sora rubbed his face wincing when he touched a tender area. Sora grinned and touched the same spot again. Kairi slapped his hand.

Sora stood up and picked up Kairi. "Sora put me down!" she demanded. Sora shrugged and dropped her on her bed. Kairi rolled her eyes. "I'm going to sleep now so goodnight," Kairi said slipping under her covers. Sora nodded.

"Goodnight Kairi," he whispered kissing her cheek. Kairi smiled and closed her eyes. He turned off the lamp and plopped down on his bed.

Kairi shivered rolling over to face Sora who was trying to fall asleep. "Sora," she whispered. Sora opened one eye staring at Kairi. She crawled out of her bed and hopped onto Sora's.

"Kairi?"

She wrapped her arms around his waist and rested her head on his chest. "I don't want to be alone," she whispered before closing her amethyst eyes. Sora smiled and closed his eyes again quickly falling asleep.

"Wake up!"

Dagger sighed. How was she supposed to go out with Zidane today if he insisted on sleeping the entire day? She sighed. "Oh well." She jumped onto his stomach. Zidane's eyes shot open and he sat up in a heartbeat.

"Dagger!"

Dagger stifled a giggle. "You needed to wake up so we can spend the day together, remember you took time off from work to be with me," Dagger said. "So get dressed and I'll meet you in the kitchen." With that being said Dagger ran out of the room closing the door behind her so Zidane couldn't hear her laughing. Zidane sighed and jumped out of his bed. He walked over to the closet and grabbed random clothing.

Dagger was in her room putting on the finishing touches of her outfit. She was wearing khaki rolled up pants with a small orange tank top. She sprayed some of her perfume on and put on her necklace. She slipped into her red slippers and grabbed her hair scrunchie. She put her hair up in a ponytail.

"All done!" she exclaimed before walking out of her room.

Zidane ran out of the room dressed in his usual clothes. Dagger was already waiting in the kitchen talking with Vivi. They were discussing the subject of 'Eiko'. Zidane had heard of her from Vivi but he only heard Eiko is in high school or Eiko has purple hair. He seemed to give Dagger the juicy details.

Zidane cleared his throat. Dagger turned around and smiled. "Ready to go?" she asked. He nodded grabbing Dagger's hand.

"Have fun," Vivi said watching the two leave. He rolled his eyes. "Now I have the house all to myself…what should I do?" he asked himself. Vivi ran over to the phone and dialed for Pizza Hut. "Hello yes can I order five pepperoni pan pizzas…yes…okay…thank you!"

Vivi hung up the phone and rubbed his hands together. Now that Zidane and Dagger were gone he could have all the pan pizza too himself! ((A/N: If you've all seen those pan-pizza commercials you'll understand XD))

Axel sat in the fields watching the grass sway in the wind. He always came here when he needed to think. But this time there was a different reason for his coming here. Today he would be meeting someone dear to him to discuss important matters.

"Axel!" And there she was.

"Hey Rikku," he said not taking his gaze off of the sky. The blonde woman sat down next to him and poked his forehead.

"Uhh hey why did you invite me here?" Rikku asked waving her hand in front of Axel so he could snap out of his trance. Axel smirked but still didn't respond to Rikku. The blonde woman crossed her arms. "Well I didn't come here to be ignored!"

Axel grabbed her arm. "You're not being ignored," he replied.

Rikku rolled her eyes. "But anyway like I said before why did you ask me to come here?" she asked staring at Axel.

"Well I didn't realize I needed to have a reason to want to see you," Axel retorted standing up and staring at the sky. He stuffed his hands in his pockets. Rikku laughed jumping to her feet.

She grinned. "Anyone who wants to see me has to have a good reason," she teased as she fingered his spiky red hair. "How did you grow your hair out like this?" she asked as she started to play with it.

"I have the same question for you."

Rikku stuck out her tongue. "My hair isn't weird like yours."

"In your opinion it isn't."

"You're so mean," Rikku pouted jumping on his back. "Give me a piggy back ride!" she cried smiling happily. Axel smirked and grabbed her legs. "Yeah! Horsey!" she joked.

Axel laughed. "It's Axel, A-X-E-L, got it memorized?" he said as he ran through the field with Rikku on his back. Rikku laughed. Axel ran several feet before he stopped. After a while Rikku had gotten pretty heavy. "Okay time for 'horsey' to rest."

Rikku smiled and patted Axel's back. "You deserve a rest," she said kissing his cheek. Axel blushed looking away. Rikku giggled falling onto the ground and landing on her backside.

"You didn't have to kiss me," Axel muttered.

Selphie sighed. Once again she was at work and Kairi and Sora weren't. She thought she was the slacker. "Where are they?" she asked the ceiling. She shook her head and continued to fill out the paper work that she was assigned to do.

"Ms. Tilmitt!"

Selphie sighed. Why was Kairi's boss calling for her? "He probably wants to know why Kairi isn't working right now…I'll just tell him she isn't feeling well," Selphie said to herself opening the door to the office and quickly closing it behind her. "Yes?"

Instead of receiving an answer a dagger flew straight for her. She dropped to the floor avoiding the dagger. "What!" she exclaimed standing up and looking at the chair that Kairi's boss was sitting in. The chair spun around to reveal…Cid Highwind? "No way!" she exclaimed backing up to the door. "Not you again!"

Cid smirked. "Yes it is me again…now you wouldn't happen to know where Ms. Shitoko is?" he asked. Selphie frowned.

"Like I would tell you!" she exclaimed bravely.

Cid cracked his knuckles. "We'll just see about that." Cid took out his twin guns. Selphie screamed running out of his office. The other workers stared at her strangely.

"Run!" Selphie exclaimed. Cid emerged from his office and started to shot at the ceiling. Screams were heard everywhere and people started to scramble. Selphie grabbed a heavy black binder and threw it at Cid as she frantically tried to escape.

Cid simply dodged it. Selphie panted and ran and hid behind someone's desk. There was something different about Cid. He was much more skilled than he had been when she first fought him. How could he have possibly trained in prison?

"Come out girly," Cid called. He saw a flash of her crawl under someone's desk. As fast as a heartbeat he was shooting at the desk. Selphie screamed and ran from the cover of the desk. She looked at where Cid was standing…her emerald eyes widened. He had been standing there a few minutes ago where'd he go?

She looked around frantically. Where was Cid? She was just a sitting duck. Suddenly her neck started to tighten. She gasped for air. She didn't feel the ground anymore. She looked around and noticed she was floating above the ground. She felt cold hands choking her. Her vision became blurry. She touched where the hands were supposed to be but there were none.

Selphie was released and thrown onto the wall. She gasped looking behind her only get shot in her waist. She whined like an injured puppy. "S-Show yourself!" she demanded. Cid suddenly appeared out of nowhere. He smirked.

"Hello."

Selphie pulled out her cell phone and quickly dialed Sora's number. "Who are you calling?" Cid asked pointing the gun at her.

Selphie winced in pain using her free hand to hold her wound. "S-Sora run!" Selphie stuttered into the phone. Sora was listening on the other line wondering what was going on.

"Selphie what are you talking about?"

Cid was angered. He shot Selphie again this time in her stomach. Selphie screamed in pain dropping her phone and collapsing onto the ground.

"Selphie? Selphie! Selphie answer!"

Cid picked up the phone and smirked. "Selphie's not here right now," he replied before hanging up. He threw the phone and the ground and disappeared living Selphie in the stranded building.

Sora hung up his phone. His face was pale. Kairi stared at him as she put her shirt back on. "I think I just witnessed Selphie dying."

Kairi's eyes widened. "Selphie?" she squeaked. She quickly put on her skirt. She didn't want to believe what Sora was telling her. "Your just playing right, s-she didn't die?" Sora shook his head. Kairi fell to her knees.

"Come on Kairi we have to go see if she's all right…maybe she isn't dead…she should be at work about now," Sora said slipping his phone in his back pocket. Kairi nodded and the two ran out of the hotel room.

Sora threw the room key at the front desk hitting the person in charge. "Sorry!" he shouted as he ran through the door with Kairi. The two ran towards the work building with hopes that Selphie was still alive, regardless of the gunshot Sora had heard.

They arrived three minutes later. They climbed the staircase figuring it would be shorter than the elevator. Kairi ran into the workroom and burst into tears. "Selphie!" she exclaimed seeing her friend lying in a puddle of blood not too far away.

Sora quickly dialed 9-l-l and explained the situation. Kairi walked over to Selphie and bent down picking up her cell phone and tucking it in Selphie's pocket. She lifted Selphie off of the ground and hugged her. "It'll be okay," she whispered.

Selphie groaned softly and smiled at Kairi. "I-I know," she stuttered only able to open her eyes halfway. Kairi smiled sadly touching Selphie's hair.

Tidus was randomly flipping channels on his television. "Nothing's on today," he whined slouching in his chair. He happened to pass the news channel. "Hey looks like another shooting," he said drinking some of his grape soda.

'Today at Middle Man Business Industries around two-thirty there was a shooting incident with only one victim. A woman of twenty-three named Selphie Tilmitt suffered a gunshot wound in her left hip and another in her abdomen. She's barely conscious and will be receiving medical attention immediately.'

Tidus spit out his soda onto the television screen. "Selphie!" he exclaimed jumping up from his seat. He quickly grabbed his jacket and ran out of his house. He wasn't about to loose Selphie again.

Yuffie spit her tea all over Riku's face. "Selphie's been shot!" she exclaimed shaking her husband. Riku wiped the tea off of his face. "Come on Riku we have to get to the hospital!"

Riku nodded. "Yeah I'll tell everyone," Riku said pulling out his cell phone and sending a text message about Selphie to everyone. With that being done they were out the door headed to the hospital.

Kairi had cried herself to sleep in Sora's lap. The brunette gently stroked her hair as they waited to for the results on Selphie's surgery. He didn't want to tell Kairi that the doctor had say her chances of living were slim, he didn't like seeing Kairi cry. Besides they would find out soon enough.

Tidus ran into the waiting room panting and sweating. "Tidus you're here! I guess you saw the news huh?" Sora asked sadly. Tidus nodded and sat down next to his friend.

"W-What did the doctor say?" he asked nervously.

Sora looked away. "They said her chances of living were slim."

Tidus banged his fist on the chair arm. He stood up and walked over to a clear spot on the wall and began to bang his head on it. Sora frowned he knew Tidus was hurting inside. Tidus was heartbroken. He finally got to see her again and she probably wouldn't live. They didn't even get to be married. A tear slid down his cheek quickly followed by others.

Dagger, Zidane, and Axel entered the waiting room to already see three of their friends there. Zidane had never met Kairi and Sora so he couldn't really consider them his friends. "Did Riku send you guys a text message too?" Dagger asked sitting down on a chair.

Sora shook his head. "We were the ones that found Selphie and Tidus simply saw the news report," Sora explained. "…Selphie has a slim chance of survival." Dagger bit her bottom lip. She didn't want her friend to die, not like this.

Tidus looked over at Axel she sniffled sucking the snot back in his nose. "Why isn't Rikku with you?" he asked trying to hid his grieve-stricken face.

"She had to investigate the crime scene with Yuna and Paine…so they won't be here," Axel explained walking over to Tidus. "Don't worry man…Selphie's been through a lot already she can make it through this." Tidus smiled sadly.

The next to enter were Hayner, Pence, and Olette. They too were very worried about Selphie's welfare. Vivi, Riku, and Yuffie followed them. They didn't bother to say anything. The next people were Roxas, Tifa, and Naminé. Tifa had come to explain about the case.

Tifa took a seat in the waiting room. She bit her bottom lip. "I'm not sure if you guys want to hear this."

"Just say it," Tidus spat.

"We believe that the one who shot Selphie was Cid Highwind."

A/N: There's the update! I hope you all don't hate me for picking on Selphie again, but she's such an easy target. Don't worry though after this she won't ever be picked on again. Anyway leave a review and I will still get back to you!
