So Which Is It?

Author's Note
This remains the same for all the different chapters. Sorry if it isn't the greatest. I just needed to get it out of my head. XD I hope you enjoy it. If you have any requests for characters, please leave a comment and I'll see what I can do. And by the way... I do NOT own this. Trust me, if I did, there would be mako babies running wild and Vincent would've shot Yuffie a long time ago. XD
Prologue
The fire swirls and dances around her, licking at the buildings hungrily in shades of red, orange, and yellow. She pushes on through the dark, billowing smoke and unbearable heat. She hurries on running toward the forest nearby, leaving her town behind her as it ravages and crumbles around itself. She knows her way through the mountains better than anyone. After all, she'd be a poor excuse for a hiking guide if she didn't. To her, it seems like several lifetimes before she finally reaches her destination. The reactor.
"Father!" she yells as she searches frantically. "Father!" She sees a long sword protruding from the ground. Below it, her father. "Father!" She sprints over to him and s wraps her arms around him, holding him gently. "Father… He did this to you, didn't he?" "Tifa….Get away from…." His upstretched hands falters and drops. A single tear falls, followed my several more. "Father…" She lies him down gently and pulls the masamune from the earth. "Sephiroth… Shinra… I hate them all…" She makes her way inside, clenching her fist around the hilt. She spots him heading deeper into the reactor's core. His long silver hair gleams oddly in the low light. His black cloak billows out behind him, like the smoke of the fires he started. "Sephiroth!" she screams running up the stairs, brandishing his sword.
He turns and grabs it as she swings downward toward him. He lifts her off her feet, peering at her with his bright catlike green eyes. He leers at her as she squeams. He flicks his sword out of her grasp, sending her soaring through the air. She hits the stairs, sending shockwaves up the metal. She continues rolling, hitting several more times before lying still at the base. She lifts her head and looks up at him, eyes shining with defiance and hatred. He smiles slightly as he turns. Her vision begins to waver, blurring his figure as he exits. She's alone. The world grows black; the darkness swallows her.
