A/N: Wow I haven't updated this in awhile surprised GlassStainedTears hasn't thrown anything at me yet. Yay makes me happy anyway this chap focus's more on Zexion/Demyx, Marluxia/Larxene, you get to find out the talk between Riku and Sora and the little thing that's going on between Squall and Cloud so this chap is gonna be interesting so please review.

Aerith sat on one of the hospital's many benchs, she took the back of her hand and wiped her tears away. She stood up to go outside and apoligize to Cloud. She walked outside the double sliding doors and stopped dead in her tracks. She couldn't believe what she saw at first she thought it might just be her because she just had an emmotional break down. As she stood there for about another minute she realized her eyes weren't playing tricks on her. She felt her eyes water even more not even sure if it was her tears or the rain. Aerith put her face in her hands and ran away as fast as her legs would carry her.

Cloud saw Aerith run away and push himself away from Squall, "Aerith wait!" He shouted running after her. Squall sighed and decided to go inside the hospital to see if he could find Yuffie. Before he stepped inside he looked at the dark clouds making the rain pour down his face and dampen his chesnut brown hair. He closed his eyes thinking, "Did I really do the right thing?" He shook those thoughts out of his head and went inside the hospital.

Sora sat on the bench out side of Saix's room, he placed his hands behind his head and leaned back. He was thinking about what Riku had said to him about eight hours ago. He closed his eyes and thought back to that time.

-Flashback-

Sora stumbled as Riku dragged him towards the Bailey, "R-Riku where are you taking me and why did you want to talk to me." Riku suddenly let go of his hand and stopped walking.

"Listen Sora, I'm not sure why the heartless are back or-" He stopped when Sora's hand touched his shoulder.

"Riku if your gonna blame yourself for the whole heartless thing, it's not your fault."

"It's not that just hear me out. This whole figuring out what to do with the heartless we don't even know what we're up against and I just don't want something bad to happen to you."

"But Riku I've taken care of this kind of thing befor-"

"What if this is different!" Riku turned around pain and anger showing in his eyes, "What if you get hurt or even worse killed! I would be the one responsible!"

"Riku it's okay I can take care of myself really I'll be alright." Sore said calmly the look in Riku's eyes made him sad in some odd way.

Riku sighed and walked closer to Sora putting both of his hands on his face, "Listen just be careful and let me protect you okay?" He placed his forehead against his.

Sora sighed defeated but smiled anyway, "I understand."

-Flashback End-

Sora opened his eyes and jumped when he felt something cold against his cheek, "AHH!" He looked up to see a smiling Riku holding a can of Pepsi out to him.

"I'm sorry did I startle you?" Riku handed him the the freezing can of goodness.

"Kinda." Sora popped the top and took a sip.

Riku sat next to him and did the same thing. He looked over at Sora, "Hey what's wrong you looked like you were spacing out."

Sora smiled, "I was just thinking is all." He would have to be careful cause Riku could read him like a book.

-Somewhere else in the hospital-

Larxene was sleeping on the armrest of the bench peacefully, that is until a certain pinked haired man's voice whispered in her ear. She groaned and strechted, rubbing her eyes she looked up at Marluxia, "What?"

Marluxia smiled, "Come on it's late we should get you home."

Larxene turned over to face the back of the bench, "I'm fine I wanna sleep everyone else is here." She growled.

Marluxia sighed defeated and sat next to her careful not to sit on her. A few moments of silence passed between them before Larxene broke it.

"Marluxia?"

"Hmm."

"Do you think..that were ready to be you know parents."

Marluxia blinked a bit surprised by her question, "Why do you ask that?"

"Because sometimes I feel with the way I act at times that people may think I might not be a great mother or anything like that." She almost choked on the words she said.

"You know what I think I think you'll make a great mom, because deep down Larxene even though most people might not see it your a good person. I mean look at you one of your friends is in the hospital and instead of going home because of your condition, your staying here. That says something about you."

Larxene turned her head and looked at him, "You mean it?"

Marluxia nodded and brushd some of her hair away from her face. Larxene smiled slightly her eyes were begining to close on the verge of sleep, "Thank you Marly, I love you."

"Love you too." He said kissing her forehead and getting up he decided to go see what was up with Saix's condition now.

-Another somewhere else in the hospital lol-

Zexion and Demyx were sitting in the lobby of the hospital on one of those comfortable couches. They had been planning their wedding but for some odd reason Zexion hadn't been paying attention at all.

"We can have blue dresses for Kairi, Yuffie, Aerith, and Larxene. What do you think Zexion?" Demyx blinked when his fiancee hadn't answered him. He waved his hand in front of his face, "Zexion heeelllloooo."

Zexion looked at Demyx slightly startled, "Huh? Oh I'm sorry I wasn't paying attetion."

"Something wrong?"

"I was just thinking things seem to have been going bad for everyone lately, Cloud gets injured from a heartless, people have been disappearing, Saix is down for awhile he could even die. What if... what id something wrong goes with this whole wedding thing."

Demyx sighed, "I'm not sure what's going to happy people probably think I'm stupid that I still act happy during all of this, but I find it better to laugh and try and be happy. It actually makes things better for me and for everyone else. So I dunno why people get upset about it."

Zexion smiled, "Your just naturally a happy person. One of the reasons why I asked you to marry me."

Demyx blushed, "W-what other reasons did you ask me to marry you for?"

Zexion smirked and decided to play a little, "Well, your smile, laugh, personality, your adorable stupid, and..." He stopped for a minute and grabbed Demyx's face. He said in a low lust filled voice, "You to damn sexy for your own good."

That made Demyx blush even harder and look away, "Oh th-that's cool."

Zexion's smirk grew wider. He kissed the side of Demyx's mouth and moved to his ear giving it a light tug, "So what do you say about planning for the wedding?"

Demyx laughed, "I was trying to talk to you but you weren't paying attetion."

Zexion let him go and sat back, "Of course I told I was thinking."

"About what?" Demyx asked with an eyebrow raised.

Zexion smirked again and decided to play with him, "Oh I was just thinking of how sexy you would be when I get you naked in bed."

Suddenly there was a loud slap in the air followed by a "pervert!" That would definately draw attetion.

-Outside the hospital-

Cloud ran as fast as his feet could carry him, he was so close to catching up with Aerith, "Aerith! Aerith wait!" He reached out an grabbed her arm.

Aerith violently slapped his hand away, tears were sliding down her cheeks with the rain outside it was hard to tell but Cloud could see that she had been crying.

"Aerith I'm sorry it-it's not what you think."

"Cloud are you trying to tell me you love Squall more than me! Do you have any idea what I've been through the past day! If Saix's dies it'll be my fault!" She shouted which made more tears stream down her pale cheeks.

"It won't be your fault Aerith. No one will blame you."

"Yes they will! Do you know how much pressure people put on me because I'm a healer! People depend on me to cure them! How do you think Yuffie will feel when she finds out!"

Cloud put his head down, "Aerith none of us expected for any of this to happen. I know you think it'll be your fault but it won't it's no one's fault. Aerith your an amazing person, people adore you so don't think if Saix dies it'll change that. You've tried to save people before and they haven't made it, no one blamed you then did they?"

"B-but this is different."

Cloud shook his head, "Why don't you come back to the hospital." He reached for her hand but again she slapped it away.

"Sorry Cloud but I don't think I can trust you anymore." She looked away with hurt filled eyes.

Cloud stared at her wide eyed, he had just lost something very important to him. There was nothing he could do to change her mind. So for now at least he had to move on.
