A/N:It's been a while hasn't it? I missed writing this fanfiction! Even though its about to end. I've fallen in love with my own idea. Sounds kind of narcissistic huh? Regardless here's the next and last chapter for you all! Long, as usual. You shouldn't expect any less, and if you receive any less flame me! Lol. You all deserve an exceptionally long chapter, because I made you wait so long. I'm so sorry! I hope you all can forgive me for being an absent authoress. Here's Kairi with the disclaimer!

Kairi: Hey guys! Long time, no disclaimer! Hah I made a funny…but no one's laughing. Oh well! ) Anyways FlowerLady-Aerith does not own Kingdom Hearts; she does own the idea though because she created it! Though her inspiration she does not own. Anywho's on with the chapter!

Is This Just Another Lie?

- Its really over -

Everything was clear. Everything was peaceful. Everything was…normal? Sora and Kairi still clung to each other as they descended slowly from the sky. Kairi looked at Sora staring at him in disbelief. "Is this real?" she asked looking at their surroundings. The purple portal had led them to the top of her office building.

"It is, stay aware anything could happen," Sora warned as they landed gently onto the roof of the office building.

The auburn haired woman turned to the brunette man. "Sora, if anything happens I want you to know this; I love you, a-and I always will," she said staring directly into his cerulean pools. "J-Just know that, and don't forget it either!"

In Sora's mind, Kairi was beaming. Her body was surrounded by a white aura. She was beautiful, and she loved him. He had known that, but they had hardly any time to actually tell each other more than one or two times. A smile appeared on his face. He pulled Kairi into his welcoming arms. With her head rested on his chest and her arms around his neck she began to cry. "S-Sora," she cried digging her head into his shirt.

He only smiled and held her gently. He caressed her hair, gently stroking it as he began to sooth his wife-to-be. "Kairi, it'll be all right. I'm promising you that nothing bad will happen. Everyone will be okay. Don't worry. I love you, and I won't let any harm come your way. I'll get them for what they did, so don't worry, I'll be fine," Sora cooed whispering it softly into her ear.

She gazed up into his eyes. "Sora," she whispered staring at him through watery amethyst eyes. He gently cupped her chin pulling her closer. Their lips met and they kissed lightly, innocently, unaware that this would be the only alone time they would get for quite a while.

As they broke away Tidus, Yuna, and the rest of the gang appeared in the same area being carried down from the sky in the same way. Kairi watched in amazement as she still clung onto Sora. "Do you think everyone will be here?" she asked staring up at the brunette. He could only shrug and hope.

"Kairi!" Selphie cried as she landed. "You're okay!" She quickly ran over to her best friend grinning like there was no tomorrow. "We were all so worried about you and Sora!" she exclaimed forming a pout on her face. "Then I guess we ended up in the same area…I wonder why. Don't they usually separate us? And this is the top of the office building!"

The auburn beauty nodded. "I don't know what's going on, but I'm suspicious."

"As you should be. Nothing less from the princess."

The large group froze. The third reunion was over. Yuna, Rikku, and Paine were silent. They each glanced at each other with knowledge being passed through their minds. "It couldn't be…" Rikku started to say, but then the answer was proven correct. A silver haired man stepped out of the darkness followed by two other men. "Its Sephiroth, Kadaj, and Cid…working together?" she stated with a baffled expression.

"This doesn't make any sense!" Paine exclaimed fists forming. "Cid you're supposed to be dead! Sephiroth and Kadaj you're supposed to be locked in tight confinement! What's going on?"

Sephiroth cackled. "Did you think silly confining bars could stop us? And as for Cid we're done with him," he answered. He snapped his gloved hands and Cid fell to his knees holding his neck. The group stared in amazement as Sephiroth forced Cid to choke himself to death. "You see when you put us in confinement we only became stronger, as you have just witnessed, we have brought you all here because you too have the option of becoming like us, super powerful!" he shouted punching the air.

"We're asking you to join us," Kadaj added. "Join our army and we will all rule the world!"

Sora growled. "Why would we join you? You kidnapped all of us and tormented us in ways unimaginable! I'm sure you even killed some of us!" he exclaimed stomping his foot on the ground. He glanced at Kairi and she quickly, sadly moved away next to Selphie. "You must be insane," he grumbled looking towards the ground. Sora was enraged, not just because of Kairi's predicament, but also for all his beloved friends. He was angry for Yuffie, for Olette, for Hayner, for everyone that just disappeared and ended up here. "We'll never join you."

Both albino men started to laugh. "Oh, but one of your 'beloved friends' has already gone to our side," Kadaj said with a smirk on his face. A black miasma appeared beside him and out stepped none other than Sora's best friend, Riku.

The brunette was stunned. "R-Riku, how could you! You-You're the one who hurt Yuffie aren't you?" he asked in the most demanding tone he has ever conjured.

Riku stumbled back. "So you too know about my deed. Look Sora I'm sorry but I-wait I can prove to you that I'm sorry!" he exclaimed. He glanced over at his 'brethren' and glared. "You can count me out." Sephiroth drew his sword. "What did I insult you by declining your offer after you gave me powers?" Riku laughed as he ambled over to his friends who were all very proud, though suspicious.

"If that's how you want it a battle there will be!" Sephiroth exclaimed raising his sword. As he was about to charge towards the unarmed group a helicopter came up behind the silver haired man. Out of this helicopter jumped Tifa, Reno, and Rude.

"Sephiroth!" Reno hissed glaring at the psychotic man. "So this is where you've run off too, and look Kadaj is with you, what a surprise," he said in a sarcastic tone. Sephiroth only smirked. It had been a while since he had seen the eccentric red haired man.

"Its been a while Reno, perhaps this time we can finish it," Sephiroth laughed. Instead of charging towards Sora and company he ran towards the three FBI agents with Kadaj trailing three feet behind him holding loaded guns.

Tifa decided she would nip this in the bud. "I don't think fighting will be necessary boys," she said jumping in front of Reno and Rude. She grabbed a yellow rope from her belt line and tied a lasso, as they were approaching closer. She swung it and looped it around both Sephiroth and Kadaj, it was what Roxas would describe as a lucky shot. "This rope binds powers, so now those weapons won't be able to respond to you, how sad," she lauaghed pulling the men closer to the helicopter.

Reno clapped. "That was easier than expected!" he exclaimed giving Tifa a pat on the back. Tifa grinned and as she was about to swing the captured into the flying transportation she noticed Kairi running towards them.

Kairi stopped directly in front of Sephiroth. Without warning she slapped him across his face. "I hate you for all you've done!" she spat glaring the meanest glare she could create. "You demon! You beast! I hope you die and suffer just like we did…of course we didn't die…but regardless!" she exclaimed realizing she messed up her rant. A sigh. "Just die."

Rude snickered. "That was very threatening Miss Shitoko," he laughed. "Now if you don't mind we'll be giving these two the death penalty."

She nodded. "Tifa," she called staring at the brunette woman. "H-How is Yuffie?" she asked cautiously. She was afraid of what the answer would be. 'I'm sorry Kairi she's dead' continually rang throughout her head. That's why the smile shocked her.

"She's fine, unfortunately one of the twins died and-." Before she could finish her sentence Riku had dashed over his eyes widened in shock. What had he done to his wife? His children? "Oh…Riku. I'm so sorry about everything. Yuffie's fine, but the male twin is dead and the female twin has suffered greatly, but she will not have a miscarriage," she informed. Riku's face didn't express gratefulness it depicted great sorrow. She dropped to his knees. Tifa smiled sympathetically. There was nothing she could do. It didn't help that he would have to go with them for murdering his unborn son. "Riku, you're going to have to come with us."

He didn't put up a struggled. Numbly, he stood up and jumped into the helicopter disappearing into the darkness, no lasso required. Tifa turned to Kairi. "She can visitors next week, but she'll be in the hospital for a while," she said with a small smile. "See you around…Yuna! Rikku! Paine! Let's go!" she shouted.

Kairi stared at the ground as the helicopter was loaded and as it took off. The shock was too much for her. "Is this just another lie? Or is this really real?" she questioned. Fists formed and she began to cry.

"Hey."

Her head quickly looked upwards to meet with Sora's gaze. "What'd I tell you? It'll be okay," he whispered pulling her into a tight embrace.

Tidus smiled, his arm around Selphie. Selphie had her head rested on Tidus's shoulder. A thought suddenly occurred to him. "What happened to the others?" he suddenly exclaimed. As if on queue Olette, Naminé, Roxas, Dagger, Zidane and Axel floated down. The six looked confused.

"What's going on?" Axel asked tilting his head to the right.

Selphie began to laugh. "You can go home now Axel, our captors have been apprehended."

"And to think I thought you didn't have a big vocabulary," Axel stated with a smirk, this earned him a nasty glare from Selphie. He sighed. "Well it looks like the healing process is about to start."

"Yeah. If it hasn't already," Roxas agreed with a nod. "But I know everyone, with the exception of our lost friends…will be…all right."

In an abrupt way the last three boys returned. Pence, Hayner, and Wakka fell from the sky, they didn't get to float. Olette grinned. "Hayner!" she cried out running to catch him, but instead of catching him they both ended up falling. It didn't seem to faze either of them though, they were just happy to reunite. Unfortunately, Pence and Wakka both fell on top of Tidus and Selphie.

"Man!"

For the next few months' things were gloomy for everyone. Kairi hadn't totally gone into the depression, that's why Sora was there to keep her steady. She had become a little quieter. She wasn't as outgoing. Only when Sora was around would the old, happy Kairi come out and shine. For Sora, his months were spent caring for Kairi. He loved her so much; he'd visit her every day just for no particular reason.

Selphie and Tidus used this time to plan for their wedding. That is how both of them dealt with the ordeal. Regardless of the fact that both of them were probably scarred for the rest of their lives. They were married the second month into the healing process and got their own apartment, thus allowing Sora to live with Kairi. For the rest of the healing process they spent their time happily married and adapting to their new lifestyle.

Roxas spent his time cooped up in his house with Naminé who decided to occupy Sora's old room. Although they were in the same house, Roxas still couldn't get up the courage to ask Naminé to join him in holy matrimony. The blonde woman was dense when it came to things like that. Out of her shy nature it wasn't common that she assume those were the vibes he was sending her way, marriage vibes.

Yuna at first spent her days visiting each and every household that her friends stayed in. She had no life. She had no love. It really wasn't a big deal to spend most of her day spending time with them, until Shuyin entered the picture. One day she had bumped into the blonde in the supermarket, and surprisingly he hadn't forgotten her from that one day at the bar. After he asked her out things clicked and they became an item.

Rikku often went to the field Axel had showed her. The red haired man was often there lounging in the weeds. That is where they had most of their intimate moments and conversations. It was also where she realized how intellectual Axel was. They fell deeper into the abyss that was love.

Paine on the other hand had a little difficulty accepting things. She was still in a mad rage about the Sephiroth and Kadaj thing. She spent most of her time trying to comprehend what had happened that she didn't realize what was happening then, and thus she almost lost one of her dear friends Pence. He would always visit her just to make sure she was okay. That one fateful day when she suddenly blew up on him almost destroyed the friendship and trust they had built, but that's only almost.

Olette and Hayner often had the household to themselves. Olette still did most of the cleaning while Hayner still watching most of the television. Though on rare occasions they did switch places. Whatever they were doing, they were quite happy. The event of being kidnapped and tortured had left their minds, though still showed up every now and then. Hayner had thought it was better not to dwell on the past, and Olette openly agreed with them. They moved on.

Yuffie was able to leave the hospital a month after the incident with her husband. Roxas and Tifa, whom were still worried about her condition, put her under strict bed rest. So until her daughter Melody was born (whom became a good friend of Vivi) all she did was sleep and eat. She had the hardest time adapting to life without her not-so-wonderful husband. He scared her, yet she loved him so much, and they kept her up all night crying.

Vivi was the last to fall that day. Once the gang thought it was over Vivi fell onto Sora surprisingly knocking the poor lad down. He was just grateful it wasn't his shin that time. Though, once he was home he spent his time talking to the girl he had met, Eiko. He found her quite interesting. Though, they were strictly friends. Vivi was saving himself for someone special, and that special person wasn't Eiko.

Garnet or Dagger and Zidane became closer in the time of healing. Dagger whom was already in love with Zidane finally told him. His reaction was a smirk that led to none other than much lip locking. They were very happy together. At the end of the second month he proposed and things went on from that.

Tifa whom was desperate for love decided to give an Internet site a try, and was she surprised by the results. Her perfect match was none other than Reno. That was strange to her, but Reno convinced her that they needed to try, which led to a perfect pair. Though Tifa did occasionally get tired of Reno's antics and Reno did occasionally get tired of Tifa's Tifaness. They enjoyed each other's company.

Wakka who surprisingly did survive the episode moved in with Lulu shortly after two weeks of staying. This left the entire house to Axel, who was more than grateful to take it. Wakka and Lulu were eloped soon and are now expecting a child.

Riku was sent to jail on charges of murder and assault. Everyday he spent there he regretted his actions. He missed his wife, his beautiful wife, and his surviving child. Not once had he been able to see her. Riku didn't even know her name. Rarely, did any member of their friendship circle visit him. Sora had come only once and that was the day before Yuffie's water broke. His ordeal was better than Sephiroth and Kadaj's whom were quickly executed after they arrived at the FBI headquarters.

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Five months after -

'I'm fine'

Everything did turn out okay…

I'm finally here…'

Two large, ivory doors opened revealing the inside of a chapel. There was a red, velvet, long carpet leading up to the pulpit where a cerulean eyed, brunette man stood proudly wearing his black tuxedo. To the right was a rows of seats were lined up, each row filled with familiar faces. To the left it was the same.

An auburn haired woman glided down the carpet following a joyful girl with blue hair that flung flower petals everywhere. A yellow-eyed boy wearing a large mage hat was carrying her veil. A smile could be clearly seen on her features, her flawless features. She was the picture of perfection, and the brunette man was beaming as he watched her approach.

She arrived at the pulpit and stood facing the brunette man. He could see her clearly through her lacy veil. He smiled at her and mouthed the words 'You look beautiful Kairi'. The smile never left her face. She mouthed the words 'You look handsome Sora' back.

The words from the preacher seemed to flow out of his mouth in a delicate way. The young couple of Sora and Kairi didn't care. They only stared into each other's eyes as they declared their vows and said their 'I do's. They heard music as they slid each other's rings on their fingers. It was a lovely scene. It was a delicate scene. It was a romantic scene.

"You may now kiss the bride."

Sora leaned forward, Kairi following his actions. He lifted her veil revealing her beautiful face and her shimmering amethyst eyes that could be seen more clearly. Their eyes slowly closed and their lips met in a kiss sealing their matrimony. They were married. They were happy. They were bound by eternity. No longer would she be Kairi Shitoko, she was now Kairi Zizurri, the proud wife of Sora Zizurri.

Kairi moved away reopening her eyes. "I love you Sora," she whispered staring at him with a dreamy expression.

"I love you too Kairi."

With that being said she turned to face the pews where all her friends and family were seated. She smiled at them all before turning around again. The bouquet flew out of her hands. Quickly those who were single, taken and or unmarried scrambled to catch the bouquet Kairi had just threw. The maiden glanced over her shoulder to see it land in the pale hands of Naminé.

The blonde woman stared at it confused. She was wearing a beautiful white cocktail dress and her blonde hair was up in a neat bun. She blinked and stared up at Kairi whom winked at her and glanced at Roxas who was as red as a beet. Namine smiled and began gingerly touching the bundle of flowers she had just caught. "Arigato," she whispered into it, her Japanese showing up. She put them up to her nose and breathed in deeply inhaling the sweet scent of the red roses. Roxas watched her smiling. He would have to speak with her after the service.

"So how does the married couple feel?" Selphie asked digging into her third piece of wedding cake. In unison Sora and Kairi both blushed and looked the other direction. Selphie squealed in delight. "Tidus get the camera they're being shy again!" she shouted.

Tidus grinned. "I already have it."

"Tidus!" Sora exclaimed. "Give me that camera!" he shouted running towards the blonde man.

Tidus shook his head fiercely and turned around to retreat. "Never!" he shouted before running away from an embarrassed Sora. Selphie and Kairi stood there watching in awe.

"Wow Sora can run fast," Selphie stated.

"Y-Yeah."

Namine was seated in a chair across from Roxas on the same table. The bouquet she caught safely secured in her lap. She quietly ate her cake her cheeks still a tint of pink. Roxas on the other hand had the head of a tomato. 'Should I do it? Should I propose?' Those exact rhetorical questions continually played throughout his head like he had some sort of record player in there.

He cleared his throat looking the other way. Namine looked up with a confused expression. "Is there something wrong?" she asked innocently. Her dense personality coming in to view, and she said Roxas wasn't very bright.

Roxas rubbed the back of his neck and pretended to be admiring the structure of the chapel. The blone woman sighed and stared back down at her plate feeling disappointed. Oh how she prayed that Roxas would ask for her hand in marriage. 'I guess I was stupid to think he'd want to marry me, maybe I should give this to Tifa or someone else…' As she was about to go search for someone more suitable to hold the bouquet Roxas suddenly yelped.

"Roxas are you all right?" she asked with concerned eyes. She quickly walked over towards him and bent down staring at him.

He shook his head and lifted her up. He got down on the floor posing on one knee. Roxas gently put her hand in his. "Namine, I-I w-will y-y-you umm marry m-me?" he stuttered his body beginning to shake lightly. If he were a small child he would've wet his pants.

She beamed. "Yes!" she exclaimed tackling him and knocking over the chair in the process. That wasn't the only thing knocked over. As Sora was chasing Tidus the brunette accidently bumped into the remaining portions of the wedding cake and it fell off of the table and onto not only Tidus and Sora, but Zidane and Dagger as well. A tower of a cake hit the four as they screamed in peril.

"Sora! Tidus!"

"Sorry!"

"You will both face the wrath of my tail! HIIYA!"

"Zidane stop!"
