Did anybody catch my typo in the last chapter? I said Roxas Strife instead of Roxas Fair XP. If you caught it...you will have a dream about Roxas tonight!

Chapter 14

Oh wait! I don't own nuthin'!

Xion~

My dad slammed the brakes. I would've been getting quite personal with the windshield if not for my seatbelt.

Mom put her hand on his arm as Dad was about to get out.

"Tifa, we have to go get-"

"No, we don't." she interrupted. "He's not running away. Not for good, at least. He probably doesn't want to be there. And I didn't want to go to my dad's funeral, either."

"Tifa, you were in the hospital. You couldn't go." Dad reminded.

She crossed her arms. "Shut up and drive."

XxX

We arrived at the funeral. Just in front of the treeline were two caskets. One white, the other dark blue.

Not many people had showed up, only about...twenty, counting us.

Selphie, Tidus Shot (the II, don'tcha know?), and Wakka Blitz (also the II) sat in the second row. A man that looked exactly like Tidus, only taller, and a woman with short brown hair sat behind them. On the same row was a man with tanned skin and orange hair, siting next to a woman with long black hair holding a small girl on her lap.

A/N Uh...I got Tidus' name from an attack (Jecht Shot) and as for Wakka...well, I just felt too lazy to get something more creative.

Riku, Hayner, Pence and Olette were in the front. It was pretty weird seeing them all in black, considering what happy kids they usually were.

I then noticed the guys in the back. A man with black hair wearing dark magenta, a small woman with orangish hair who I could've sworn I saw at the hospital, and a very pale silver-haired man with scary green eyes.

Third Person~

Cloud glared at Sephiroth, who smiled tauntingly.

"What are you doing here?" the blonde growled.

"What? Can't I mourn the loss of my friend?" Sephiroth feined surprize.

"Friend? You never saw Zack as anything more than a nuisance!" Cloud was trying his best to keep his voice a whisper.

Tifa reached over Xion and grabbed her husband's hand and squeezed it to tell him to quiet down.

"If you must know," Sephiroth murmured "I'm here with my son. He can't drive quite yet."

Cloud tried to cover his shock. But that was very impossible.

They waited for a few more minutes to see if anyone else was arriving (no one was) then Cloud walk to the front.

"Um. We're here today to mourn Zack and Kairi Fair." he began somewhat awkwardly, never being very good at...talking to...anyone...

"Zack was my best friend...he saved my life...more times than I can count. He was always the energy in the room, sort of insane half the time. Um...his son..Roxas...couldn't be here..."

Sephiroth leaned slightly closer to Xion and whispered "What kind of kid runs away from his family's funeral?"

Xion's eyes widened for a moment before hissing a reply "I think you just answered your own question."

Cloud separated Xion and Sephiroth soon enough, his speech over. The man next to Sephiroth got up.

"Zack and I were friends...back when we were kids. He saved my life as well, quite a bit."

Once he was done, the auburned haired lady rose and somewhat glided to the front.

"Yeah, Zack had quite a knack for saving people. He saved me once or twice, asked me out several times, and...I'll really miss him."

Xion~

After a couple more speeches that began with "Zack was...", my dad nudged me to get up. I was supposed to finish Zack's memorial speeches and start Kairi's.

"Zack was sort of my second dad. He tried to adopt me a lot, and I was always welcome. Zack could be a friend to anyone who let him in. And although sometimes he acted like a kid, he was a great dad."

I heard some sniffling from...somewhere...so I guess I did well.

"And Kairi...heh where to begin? She fit in everywhere, was friends with everyone...she was so kind. She died too young...but I guess she's happy to be with Sora again."

Selphie bursted into tears. Tidus awkwardly put his arm around her and Wakka just sat there with this panicked expression.

Something caught my eye. Leaning against a tree in the back, was a man. He wore dark clothes and had medium-length black hair. Was is the light, or did the man have a single, white, angel wing on his back?

I sat down.

Speechesspeechesspeeches.

Riku got up and walked to the front.

"Kairi was my friend. She was a constant in my life and I really took her for granted, thinking she would always be there. I will never forgive myself and I will never forget Kairi."

Tears. Oh how they flow.

Moving on, the funeral ended, dad was to bury the caskets. Mom waited in the car and I snuck into the old church.

Old pews had been strewn around the sanctuary. Light poured in through holes in the ceiling, giving everything a heavenly look. In the center, before the altar, was a large circle of flowers.

I knelt in front of the plants. On the floor, someone had carved out something. I leaned in closer and giggled slightly.

ZF+AG

I looked around some more. There was a crate with some medical supplies, a silver helmet and an ID. Though the plastic was old and worn, I could still read the name:

Cloud Strife.

Dad?

I walked up to the altar and found another engraving:

AG+CS

Dad used to like Aerith? Huh.

I stood and looked towards the door.

There he was.

The man with the angel wing.

Who is it? Who is it? Can you guess? It's pretty obvious who Sephiroth's son is. And the guy with him...guess!
