Chapter 1 first sounds

Author (Kiku): Greetings readers,

this is my first FF7 story so don't get too mad at me and if there is something wrong please tell me I want this to be the closest I can to the main plot (as in information like the matra etc..). I may add things to this in due time but for now I hope you like it

Thanks,

Kiku

Cloud:

"Cloud!"

I stretched as I opened my eyes to see this window open and the smell of autumn coming into my room. I sat up, my body was a little stiff from sleep, but that was normal for me.

"Cloud come on there's Breakfast!" I hear Marlene say as a saw Denzel pace my room, I nodded to him and he said "Morning Cloud"

He walked on to the kitchen and I got ready. I looked at my clock to see it was 11:45am.

'Well that is new I think this is the longest I have slept for' I thought and I left my room to go see what Tifa was cooking. I walked into the kitchen to see all of them at the table eating a HUGE breakfast that consisted of bacon, eggs, sausage, pancakes, and juice.

"Cloud you came down at last. I was wonder how long you were going to sleep for." She said as sat down between Marlene and Denzel.

"Remember you said we could go to the ocean today!" Marlene said as she grabbed some of the pancakes and Denzel nodded too. "You said you would Cloud"

I stopped taking some of the food and thought for a bit and then I smiled at how this happened to me. I was doing a delivery for some woman to go get a vase in a different city and I ended up being late for Marlene and Danzel's Play that they were doing with a group of other children. So in the end Tifa got mad and I had to do something to make up for the missed play so I said I would take them to the ocean the next weekend I had free. Now that was two weeks ago and here I am taking these two to the ocean that is about three hours from here.

"Cloud, earth to Cloud" Tifa said as I looked up to see only she was left at the table.

"Where's the kids?" I asked.

"Out with the bike waiting for you." she said and smiled "They can't wait to go."

I nodded to her and then headed for my bike and there they where, all ready and on my bike. I sat on it and Marlene was setting in front of me and Denzel was sitting behind me holding on to me and Marlene to the bike.

"Have fun you three!" Tifa said I started my bike. Marlene and Denzel waved to her as we speed up and heading to the ocean.

Sometime later we got to the ocean and we made it there sooner than I thought we would but then again I did take the more faster way there. Marlene and Denzel wanted me to go threw the Ancients forest. So I did and I could hear them laughing and pointing at small animals we pasted, I felt happy to hear their laughter.

"Cloud how much longer till we get there!" Denzel yelled at me.

"Soon, look to your left!" I said to them both and as they did the forest opened up to a brilliant blue that was to ocean. I was driving on the edge of a cliff that showed one of the most beautiful views of the ocean. The kids where quiet, I looked at Denzels face to see pure shock and awe on this face and Marlene's must have been the same. Soon I drove down the cliff and stopped in a small cape that I found some time in past and I thought the two would love to see it.

"Well what do you think?" I asked the two, that seemed to get them out of there shock and they both had huge smiles on their faces. Marlene shocked me by running to the cape and playing in the water.

"Woooooow, Cloud this place is so cool, your the best!"

"Cloud, how did you find this place?" Denzel asked me as he started to play in the sand.

"I was on a delivery and I found this on the way home. I thought you two might have wanted to see it." I said to him and he just smiled back at me and continued to play.

I watched the two play for a few hours, they wanted me to play in the sand with them so i did. Marlene thought before hand to take there bathing suites so the swam in the ocean and looking at me too see if i was watching, i was it was one of the few times i felt happy and free. Just watching the two swim, play and laugh just made my heart fill with joy. Then i stopped my thoughts about that and thought of how those two have changed me so much, from when i first meet Marlene she was always a ball of light and happiness and where ever she went it seemed that people would be more happy around her, Denzel at first was quiet much like how i was when he was my age but the longer he was with Marlene the more of a smile came from his face. It was much later when i looked up, must have been about 2 hours and the two where playing inn the sand making a huge sand castle, walking over I started to help make the castle and soon after it was made I toke notice that both of them looked tired and I looked at my watch to see it was 5:25pm. We had spent the whole day here. I walked over to the place where Marlene was sitting to see her head nodding so i picked up Marlene and told her it was time to go home, she looked up at me with sleepy eyes and nodded.

"Let's go home" I say then head to the bike, I get on and Denzel gets on behind me. Starting the bike, I say to them both."Hold on" Denzel warped his arms around my waist and Marlene held onto my shirt, we sped off towards home.

The ride home was fast and quiet. I was sure that Denzel fell asleep about 10 minutes into the ride. I made sure that the ride was smooth. When I got home Tifa was outside waiting for us and she had a smile on her face as I drove up.

"Well I see they had fun." She said as took Marlene from the bike.

"They did." was all I said as I picked up Denzel. The both of us walked back into the bar then headed upstairs to put the two into their beds.

"Did I get any calls while I was gone?" I asked Tifa.

"No, it was quiet all day, I wished I went with you three." She said then sighed.

"Next time." I was all I could say as I headed to my room. Mine and Tifa's relationship was different as of late. I didn't really like her much as I did years ago it had changed to more of a sisterly love and I think Tifa knew it as well. She had stopped kissing my cheek and flirting with me, now it was down to hugging and talking.

"Night Tifa." I say as I reach my door.

"Night Cloud... Cloud will you ever think more of me?" She asked in a quiet tone.

"No, only as my kin" I say as I close the door. I don't know when it happened, but somewhere along the line I stopped loving her. My love for her was the same with Denzel and Marlene, Family like. Then i walked over to my closet to get some night clothes thinking.

'When did I... 'My thought stopped then, I thought I heard a whisper. I stopped and listened ... There it was again.

"B. . . . . . . "Said the whisper too faint for me to hear and again it spoke.

"bro. . . . .er" This time it was more clear and a bit louder.

"Brother!" This time it yelled and I heard some crying. It sounded like a small child but before I could hear more it faded along with the feeling that came with it, a sad scared feeling that made me feel a chill.

"What was...?" Before I could finish my thought, my body felt very weak and I collapsed onto my bed seeing a faint image of three children then nothing.

Sorry if this was a little too short I really don't have much to back this up, my friend Liechtenstein (cosplayer) and I made up from boredom. If anyone would like to ask Questions feel free to PM me and I will replay in the next Chapter.

Ja-nai!
