Final Fantasy VII: Dirge Of Cerberus

Prologue

"Oh, come on Cloud I don't need a babysitter, I can take care of myself. Remember how I helped you guys handle Sephiroth and Kadaj's gang?" I said to Cloud getting off the back of his motorcycle called Fenrir.

"Are you old enough to get a job?" Cloud asked me

"No" I said bluntly knowing where this conversation was going.

"Then you need someone to watch you." He said in his usual goth-boy voice.

"I've got money, lots of it." I said in my defense

"Yeah? How much?" In a kind of know it all voice adults used when they proved a kid wrong at something that should be obvious.

"905,000 Gil" I said knowing what his reaction would be.

"Wha...How does a kid get that much?" He asked shocked and almost losing his footing.

"I have my ways..." I said slyly waking past the bewildered ex-SOLDIER.

"When Kadaj and his group attacked Edge and Rufus Shinra fell from the tower, my Light side separated from me and was faster than his Turks. He gave me 900,000 Gil as a reward, the other 5,000 I just saved up." I explained

"Anyway that's besides the point, what are we doing in Kalm anyway?" I asked just now figuring out where we where.

"I told you before you're staying with a friend of ours." Cloud said slightly annoyed.

"But you never told me who, better yet tell me why I can't stay at the 7th Heaven anymore."

"Okay" Cloud said turning around to face me "don't tell me you don't know why, your Dark half has been pranking us for months! Remember what he did to Tifa and me?"

I snickered a little "Oh yeah, I know about that, even when he leaves my body I still know what he does. I think you mean the time when you fell asleep in your underwear and Tifa was getting into the shower, and Lucifer (Dark half) decided to teleport Tifa into your bed. Hahaha ah, the look on your faces was priceless." Cloud quickly grabs me in a head lock and says in my ear "No one is to know of that."

He let me go and from his tone of voice I knew he was serious, but that didn't mean I couldn't poke fun at him!

"You can't say you didn't enjoyed it" I snickered, and that earned me a whack in the head from a blushing Cloud. I didn't know that Cloud of all people could blush, but I drop the conversation there and brought up a new topic "So in all seriousness who are we going to see?" I asked, we stopped at a door and Cloud gave quick knock. "Hello, Vincent" Cloud said when the door opened. In the door way stood the dark figure of Vincent Valentine. Immediately I yelled "Come on! Your leaving me with the emo vampire-werwolf!"

Vincent who was probably told before hand that this was happening calmly said "Yes, that's right. Until your Dark side has calmed down a bit."

Cloud also add his input "And Vincent is going to teach you to use a gun, since you've beaten me the last 28 times we've sparred with swords." I started smiling in an obnoxious way from the comment.

"You starting to lose your game blondie? Your getting old, Cloud." I got whacked again for that.
