AN- Well! How 'bout his? I started another story! YAY! This one is a very serious story that will consist of Tifa having blindness! If that offends you, or it disturbs you...please, turn back! I do hope you give this a try, though! You might enjoy it! Also, this will be a CLOTI (CloudxTifa). Don't like? Well! Maybe you'll like this one! I won't make Aeirth a witch or anything! She'll be as sweet as ever, though she will not be alive! I think she's happy in the Promise Lands anyway! ;) This is centered most on Tifa, so...you know...
Disclaimer- Standard disclaimer applied, I don't on FF7...never have, never will.
Dedications- To every CLOTI fan out there! Also, to the NON-CLOTI fans who are being brave and given this a shoot! I hope it meets your standards! Also, to my mum! Cuz, I love her!
Light My Way

In the arms of an angel, fly away with me...
-Sarah McLachlan
The monster lurched towards her, it's speed like the wind. She could barely make it out, instead she saw a purple blur of reptile like skin. It's eyes were not in view, but the fighter knew they glowed with mako energy.
Tifa was scared, non-the less.
She stood in her fighting stance, watching every move it made with skilled eyes. Every movement, all the distance it made she was watching it with a steady stare.
'Just think, Tiff...soon as this is over, you'll see Cloud again!' Her mind reeled, giving her the strength she needed to make the first move to kill the monster. It jumped into the tree above it, giving Tifa a moment to relax.
She was here on business and some sort of a reunion after 1 month of Sephrioth's defeat. All of the members of AVALANCHE were to meet at Wutai, to decide what to do with the remaining monsters on earth. She had decided to patrol the forest in search of the demons, and she had come across one hideous looking thing. She hadn't waited for Cloud to arrive, since he would be running late. Maybe killing one of the mako-filled monsters, she would some how impress the EX-Soldier. She wanted him to know how much she loved him...but the courage needed was what she lacked. She couldn't handle rejection, and even thinking about him slamming the door in her face sent shivers down her spine.
"Imagine what it would be like in real life?" She asked herself, chewing her lip in frustration. Where was that thing?
It jumped at her, but her reflexes made her move on her own. She dodge the creature, and retaliated with a swift kick to it's head. The monster yelped, dodging the second kick to it's head. It bounced back, meeting the ground with cat-like ability. It's eyes flashed at Tifa, and she almost froze with fright. It's eyes were black, though they still glowed with the un-natural light created by mako.
"Ok big guy, lets rumble!" She yelled, her hands sending a punch into it's tummy. It sucked in desperate breaths of air, the wind had been knocked out by the sheer force of the punch she threw at it.
"Serves you right stupi-" Her voice was caught in her throat, as it's tail knocked her off the ground. She desperately clawed the earth, as she tried to manage getting up to dodge the next attack. It jumped, ready to claw her chest open. She closed her eyes, ready to meet her sudden and unfair death.
Gun shoots filled the air, as Barret's arm shoot into the monster with powerful force. It's body seemed to dance with the bullets, until Barret suddenly stopped. Tifa opened her eyes slowly, and notice the monster lay dead on the ground.
"Is it...?" She began, but found her legs moving toward the un-moving object. It looked dead, but Tifa still had to check. It was for their own safety, and for the citizens safety also. This was a pretty dangerous monster, compared to the ones she had encountered before.
"Tifa, careful-" Barret began, but his voice was cut off with the shrill, pain filled scream the erupted from Tifa's throat.
The monster's venom spurted out, and into the unexpected Tifa's eyes. It burned her eyeballs with an acid like feeling. She fell onto her knees, unable to see anymore...though her site was the last thing that lingered on her mind.
"God...It burns, help me..." She begged, her hands rubbing at her lids to get the pain out.
Barret ran to her fallen body, and picked her up wit such swiftness. He needed to get her to some water, so he could wash the venom from her eyes.
"Tifa? Hold on, girl..." He whispered, his breath horse with pity for the woman in his arms.
To his surprise, Tifa was unconscious.
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
Tifa awoke seeing only pitch darkness. It had to be night, since she couldn't even make out her hands. She stumbled out of bed, and felt the familiar warmth of the sun on her body.
"Is the heater on?" She asked, knowing there were no heaters in the tent she had set up. Her hands traveled in front of her, and she found the opening. Lifting the flap, she stepped outside to meet the birds chirping happily. The warmth grew steadier, and she knew something had to be wrong.
Birds didn't chirp in the middle of the night, and the only warmth she knew felt this way was the sun...
Her mouth was covered by her hands, as the sudden flash of pain filled memories filled her mind. Could it be true? Did the venom...blind her?
"Cloud...?" Tifa whispered his name, not knowing what else to say in her shadow filled world. There was no more light, no more images to be seen by her beautiful brown eyes.
Her feet suddenly gave out, as she stumbled to the earth. She felt the ground, and knew she was on dirt and grass by the feel of its texture.
"Help...help me, please..." She sobbed, lost in the darkness. There was no one to guide her, no one to show her they way out.
Where was Cloud? Had he forgotten the promise he made that night by the well? The one of how he would save her, when she needed to be saved.
"Cloud...HELP ME!" She yelled in mournful sorrow, as her tears coursed down her face in record time. Tear stung, but his was the only release of pain she could do at the moment. She was lost, and she had never been lost before.
"Tifa? God, Tifa...I-"
Tifa's ears almost perked, as she recognized the voice as her beloved's.
"Cloud?" She whispered, her hands flaying all around to try to locate him in her blind state. She never felt so helpless, and shame was introduced to her already emotion filled heart. Shame she should look so weak in front of her love, what would he think of her now?
He sank beside her, his hands gathering her in an embrace. She sobbed, as sudden relief flooded her senses. The feeling of being safe filled her heart, and she thanked whatever god was watching over her.
"I...I can't see, I-" She was caught off as a sob racked her thin frame, her hands clumsily clutching harder around his body.
"Shh..." he whispered, soothing her troubled head.
"God, Cloud...I wanted..." She paused, her eyes desperately searching his own. Never again would she see those beautiful blue eyes, see that wonderfully spikey hair. Never again. She was met by the dark once again, and more tears seemed to course down her face, "I wanted to see you again so bad..."
He pulled her tighter, not wanting to see her blank stare and broken tears again. He should have protected her...he should have been the one who was blinded. God, what had he done?
He heard her whimper, and looked down to see her face desperately seeking the direction of his own. She wanted to look at him, and he knew she would never see him or anyone else again.
"Tifa..." he whispered, holding her face steady with his two hands. Making her face look towards his own, though her eyes looked like she was looking at something past him. Something far off, far away...
Her lips trembled, as she held back another sob. She needed to say this, at least while his attention was to her only.
"Go on, Tiff..." he urged her, noticing her discomfort. He wanted to help her with all his heart.
"I wanted to see you again, and now..." She whispered brokenly, "I'll never see you again..."
To Be Continued!!!!
AN- Well? What do ya think? Tell me with a review, you know I love 'em! ^^ R&R! CIAO!
P.S. I hope this doesn't offend any people with blindness! I do think it's sad you are blind, but I also think you should never pity yourself and live life to the fullest! Images r'nt everything and I think being blind helps you see that better! ^^
