(Distant Memories) FF7 Cloud and Sepharoth By: Alex Garland chapter:1
"Oh hogosha how I have missed your touch." Called out a faded face.
"As have I hikari I have missed you as well" Cloud replied with much affection in his voice.
As lips were so close to touch as well as souls an annoying sound rang out from nowhere startling Cloud from his slumber.
"Dame that alarm clock and dame that dream again." Fumed a pissed off ex-solder
"Cloud! Come on down for breakfast when you're done!" Called Aeris from down stairs in the kitchen.
"All right sis I'll be down in a few minutes!" Cloud called back to his sister.
Cloud headed down stairs for breakfast after showering and changing into his normal black outfit for the day's events. Sitting down at the dining room table Cloud and Aeris began to eat.
"You have that look on your face again Cloud." Aeris Stated, "Did you have that dream again?"
"Yes sis I did have that dream again and what do you mean I have that look again?" Cloud replied and questioned.
"I mean that every time you dream that dream you have an extra bounce in your step and a dreamy look in your eyes that's what I meant when I say you have that look again dear brother." Aeris stated with a smile.
Cloud sits and eats quietly then cleans up and washes the dishes after their meal Cloud lost in his thoughts until he looks out side to the nice sunny warm weather. Cloud goes up stairs to only come back down with his bike goggles and his sword for monsters were still on the prowl.
"Sis I'm going out on my bike I won't be back until diner so don't wait up ok." Cloud yelled into the house as he shut the door.
Cloud got on his bike and sped off out of Midgar to the surrounding areas. So far the area was peaceful and calm odd that none of the usual monster have not appeared for there is always a few out and about but none nothing.
'I wonder where all those beasts have gone too there is always a lot in the valley between Midgar and the Chocobo Farm.' Thought Cloud.
It was then that he spotted a pack of Kalm Fangs (a type of modified wolves) surrounding something Cloud decided to investigate into the situation as well as have a fight. Fighting off the Kalm Fangs took Cloud a bit for they were easy to kill but there were so many of them. After finishing off the last one he turned to see what the wolves were surrounding.
'Ba-bump' Clouds heart started to beat in his ears 'Ba-bump'
'Why is my heart beating so hard like it's going to leap out of my chest?' As Cloud approached slowly over to the object.
It wasn't until the wind picked up that Cloud saw hair; silver hair, wiping around in the wind. Cloud kneeled down to turn the person over only to discover a man in rags.
'Oh my what a beautiful man but why would a man like him be out hear all alone and not even armed that just doesn't make sense' Cloud thought trying to connect the pieces of the mystery together.
Putting his sword back into the storage compartment in his bike and carried the man to his bike for even though the man was tall and very fit he was light too light for Cloud's liking. After positioning the stranger in front of himself on the bike Cloud made his way back to Midgar. Pulling up in front of his home he carried the man bridle style into the house after kicking the door open and close.
"Aeris! Get me some blankets and some pillows!" Cloud yelled throughout the house.
"What is going…Oh my what happened?" Asked a very startled Aeris.
"I'll tell you later right now we need to make him as comfortable as possible so I can look him over for any wounds." Stated a flustered Cloud.
Aeris ran through the house gathering any extra pillows and blankets wile Cloud ran into the kitchen to grab the first aid kit as well as some warm water and a towel. Cloud put his items down and picked up the man that he laid down on the couch so Aeris could put down some blankets as well as a few pillows. Cloud looked over the man as he used a heal materia on the more sever wounds and used the bandages from the first aid kit for the lesser and minor wounds. After a while both Cloud and Aeris breathed a sigh of relief when the man was taken care of as well as his breathing evened out.
"Ok Cloud spill how and where did this happen and who is he?" Aeris asked in a clam yet in a stern mother tone.
"I found him in the valley between the Chocobo Ranch and Midgar. He was surrounded by Kalm Fangs looking for a quick meal. So I fought them off and brought him back hear." Stated Cloud in point fact.
"Cloud let me ask you again. Do you know this man?" Questioned Aeris
"I don't know he seems so familiar that I think I know him but I'm not sure. Why do you ask?" stated a curious Cloud.
"Because your eyes have grown soft there not hard like they were before you met this man your eyes look like exactly how they do when you wake up from your dreams that's all I'm saying." Aeris informed her brother.
"I'm going up stairs call me down when he wakes up." Cloud walks away from Aeris with his sword in hand.
"Cloud…" Aeris whispered to herself worried about her brother.
Cloud closed the door to his room and set his sword back into the corner of his room then walked over to his bed and sat down with a heavy sigh wile thoughts run through his head.
"Why does he seem so familiar to me?" Cloud thought, "I know I don't have any memories of the past due to the accident at SHINRA but Aeris should have told me she's helped me so much over the years and I have remembered a lot of those things but there is still a huge gap in my memories as well as my heart." Stated cloud while trying to remember his forgotten past.
"CLOUD!" Aeris Yelled form down stairs
