Chapter 1- Do you need a place to stay?
The wind whipped through my cloak as it started to rain. Sitting in my hand my kitten, Bast, shivered and meowed. "I know Bast." I told her putting her in a pocket on the inside of my cloak. I was wearing a pair of baggy black pants that stayed up just fine without a belt, and a tight black vest that zipped up in the front. On my feet I wore a pair of plain ol' black leather combat boots. I also had on a body length cloak that had a hood and also zipped up in front. My hood was up. It was cold and I needed a place to get dry. We needed a place to get dry.
Inside my cloak pocket, Bast meowed. "I know we need to find a place!" I whispered, knowing that she would hear. Even though my hands were covered with my black leather gloves, they were freezing. I looked around the town that I stood in. I was in the center of Edge near an old, broken down monument. I knew that if I didn't find shelter soon, I would probably freeze. And I didn't want that. So, I trudged through the city. After a while I came to a bar. It looked nice and warm from the outside and it didn't look very crowded. I glanced at the sign above the building. 7th Heaven was its name. I decided it was a good place to at least get warm before finding an inn to stay at. I walked up the front steps and opened the door. As soon as I stepped inside, I was greeted by warmth and instant relaxation.
Despite there being several drunk guys in the room. I saw an empty bar stool seat in front of the counter and took my place. Glancing around, I noticed a pretty girl waiting tables and a guy with spiky blonde hair helping a customer at the counter. I reached inside my cloak and brought Bast out. She meowed gratefully at the warmth as I sat her in the stool next to mine. She put her paws on the counter and rested her head on her paws. "Excuse me, Sir, could you come over here I'm ready to order." Bast called out in her human 10-year-old girl voice.
I snickered as the spiky blonde dude walked over and looked at me. "What do you want?" He asked me. With my left hand I pointed at Bast. He eyed me carefully before turning to Bast. "I would like a nice cup of milk. Please put it in a cup, not a bowl." She added a smile curving on her kitten pink lips. "Okay…" He said turning around and walking into the kitchen. I turned to Bast once he left. "Are you crazy? He's gonna think you're a psycho-path and we don't want that!" I whispered frantically to her. She laughed as the dude walked back in with her cup of milk. "Here you go!" He said boardly setting the cup in front of her. "Thank you!" Bast purred.
Once the guy had turned away, Bast transformed into her human form. I shook my head and watched as the violet haired blind dark brown-eyed girl took a drink of her sweet milk. I heard some running up stairs and turned my head to where I thought the stairs were. A moment later, a girl with short black hair and a black bandana walked out. She was wearing a bluish black tank top and a pair of tan shorts. She had laced up tan boots that reached her knees. All together she look genially nice.
She spotted me and skipped over sitting on the barstool on my other side. "Hi! I'm Yuffie! Is this your first time at 7th Heaven? Well it must be because I've never seen you here before!" The girl named Yuffie exclaimed. I laughed at her nicely. She smiled. "I'm Luna Night. Please just call me Luna though. No… I don't think I've ever been here before." I answered her looking around. "Who's that talking to you Luna?" Bast asked me looking at Yuffie. I visibly saw Yuffie flinch. "Is she blind?" She asked me. I nodded. "How come she acts like she can see me then?" She asked me with a puzzled look on my face. "Training," I answered. "Her name is Yuffie. Bast, Yuffie, Yuffie, Bast!" I answered. Bast took her right and stuck it in front of Yuffie. Yuffie shook her hand. "Nice to meet both of you!" She yelled.
"Who are your new friends Yuffie?" A sweet voice asked from behind me. "OH! Tifa this is Luna," Yuffie said pointing at me. "And this is Bast!" She added pointing at Bast. Nice to meet you both! I'm Tifa! I own this bar!" She said happily. "Nice to meet you too." I answered. I couldn't see what she looked like very well so I took of my hood. My black, blue, and white hair fell out of my hood and it felt good not to have it bunched up. The hilt of my sword dug into my neck and it was uncomfortable. I turned to Tifa, smiling my girlish smile. "Do you have a place where I can put my sword?" I asked her nicely. "Yes of course!" She answered me then turned towards the kitchen. She cupped her hands over her mouth. "Cloud get out here I need a favor!" She yelled. A moment later the spiky blonde haired dude, whose name was apparently Cloud, walked out of the kitchen and stopped short when he saw a girl sitting where the kitten had. He turned to look at me and when he saw me he got a surprised look on his face. "What happened to your cat?" He asked pointing at Bast. "Oh! This is my cat! She can transform into a cat and I can transform into a wolf!" I stated proudly.
Bast tugged my sleeve. "What does he look like Luna?" She asked me. I bent down and quickly whispered all the details of what the man looked like in her ear. She nodded and totally understanded. "Anyway! Cloud show Luna where she can put her sword." Tifa smiled and waved her hand to indicate my name. "Yeah" He grunted and motioned for me to follow him. Before I could even take one step Tifa spoke up again. "Do you need a place to stay for the night?" She asked me. I looked at Bast and she nodded. "Yes please!" I told her.
"Alright! Cloud just take her to the spare room and she can keep her sword down there with her." Tifa instructed. "Alright!" He answered turning and walking a different way. I grabbed Bast's hand and tugged her after me. "LUNA! I HAVEN'T FINISHED MY MIIIIILK!" She whined loudly stretching out the letters of milk. I laughed and just ignored her. We both followed Cloud down a stair well, probably leading to the basement. He opened a door at the bottom and stepped down four more steps into a big white room. I followed him in. "Wow!" I breathed. "Here give me your sword. I'll put it away!" He told me holding his hands out. I glanced at Bast. "I'm not sure you can carry our swords…" I said. But carefully, I pulled my sword from my back under my cloak and handed it to him. He had a stunned look on his face when I held it out for him. "It's ok if you can't carry it. Not many people can." I whispered.
I turned to look at Bast real quick. "Bast give him your-" I stopped as I felt the weight of my sword disappear. I turned and looked at Cloud. He was holding my sword as if it were as light as a feather. "You…you can hold it?" I asked him. "How did you get a Buster Sword?" He asked me in a whisper. I blanched for a moment. Then it all came flooding back. "My father was a warrior. He carried a Buster Sword that looked a little different from mine. Before he died, he told me he wanted me to uphold the family name by carrying the Buster Sword… same with Bast… that's how we got them…" I explained looking at the floor. "…Oh…" Cloud whispered. I turned and smiled at Bast. "Bast give him your sword!" I told her. She nodded and pulled a black buster sword from under her own cloak. She handed it to Cloud.
He looked at the swords then put them in a box at the foot of the big bed. "Tifa will come down when dinner is ready… until then you can hang out here… I guess…" Cloud explained walking up the steps and out the room. I turned to look at Bast, but she was already curled up in a ball and sleeping in all her clothes, including her cloak, on the master bed. I sighed and shook my head. Looking around I decided to take a shower.
I quickly found the bathroom down there and got in the shower, letting all my worries and fears wash away when the hot water hit my back.
I hope you all enjoyed it. Well the people who read it anyways. If people start reading this I might update, but well.... we'll see. Thanks!
