Chapter 1 - Remembering
Standing on a cliff by the ocean shore not so far from Midgar, a fair young adult stood staring out at the ocean thinking and letting out a heavy sigh. Deep in his mind he knew the silver haired man would once again appear to carry out Jenvoa's plans and continue to keep the man under her control. He closed his eyes letting out another heavy sigh but his sigh caught in his throat for a moment he felt a pair of arms gently wrap themselves around his shoulder, turning to look to who it was brought a small soft smile to his lips noticing the red haired man.
"You should stop troubling yourself and relax Cloud" Reno softly spoke in cloud's ear as he placed his chin on the blonde's shoulder looking out over the body of water glancing up at the pair of blue eyes that seem to glow from the mako.
It had been 6 months since Cloud had taken down Sephiroth again, but it hurt Cloud again for the 3rd time to kill someone that he loved deeply. But also killing the younger silver haired children that seemed to be brothers of Sephiroth didn't help the situation any. It didn't matter how many times he tried but he could never totally forget about any of the events that took place over the 7 1/2 years. Though surprisingly enough the blonde boy remained sane through it all for the most part, but thank the gods for the few close friends he had made over the years to keep him on his feet and his head up.
The two boys stood there for awhile before feeling a pair of familiar eyes upon them which grew a small little grin on their faces knowing who it was as a tall blacked haired man dressed in black covered in a deep crimson red cape. Vincent walked up next to the pair with a small smile concealed under the large neck piece of his cape and after a few moments turned to stare a bit at the two before finally parting his lips to speak in a low soft voice.
"You still think about him don't you cloud..."
A soft sigh escaped cloud's lips as he answered "yeah..."
"Hmm... thought so, its written all over your face"
Cloud huffed a bit and wrinkled his nose up slightly in protest which caused Reno to chuckle softly "so... your point?"
Vincent pulled down the fabric that hid the lower part of his face showing the small smile turned in a grin as he chuckled softly. It always made Reno and Cloud blink somewhat not use to such a dark man to even laugh of any kind but seemed to only do so once in awhile just around the two of them. Soon the three of them shared a small moment of laugher they really needed. Since the death of Sephiroth the three of them slowly got drawn together, and only seemed to open up to each other and unsure as of why but they just felt safe in the present of each other and soon became nights of pleasure after a night of hard drinking one night. It felt weird to them at first but soon that was dismissed and found that in each other they really did care for each other more deeply then they had thought.
They continued to stand their looking out over the chore from the cliff watching the ocean waves lapping at the sand, little they knew they had another pair of eyes watching them not to far off on a higher part of the cliff just above them about 15ft. The dark figure was hidden beneath a black cloak with the hood pulled far over there head to hide there face as silver hair with bits of black and red slipped out the front slightly waving slightly in the small breeze that had been blowing gently for awhile now. Continuing to watch in a crouched position the figure smiled lightly to itself having of been trailing the three but mostly the blonde down below for the last 6 months.
As the sun was setting the figure continued to remain in its position seeming to be human for the most part but the way its crouched seemed to show its was only partly human with a creature like feel and some what look it gave off just how its was staying silence and unmoving. The figure slowly slipped closer to the edge of the cliff it rested upon getting a closer look at the trio below, its seemed not to have any hostile intentions but just seemed to watch them.
"You know we should head back...the others are probably worrying ...well most likely Tifa" Reno piped up after awhile with a small chuckle following.
The three of them began to chuckle a bit with Reno before Cloud spoke.
"Most likely hehehe..."
"You think she would be use to it by now when she has Barret to cling to and love these days" Vincent stated with a small grin forming on his lips as he spoke.
They began to laugh a bit at Vincent's comment, but it was true, Tifa had fallen for Barret and him to her knowing Cloud wouldn't come around to her anytime soon so she decided to move on in her life. She had also got a chance to upgrade her bar a little more.
After a few moments the figure began to move more closer to the edge with its hands appearing from under the cloak only to be partly claws that gripped the soil along the edging of the cliff letting its curiosity to get the better of it but yet moved without a sound, it knew it was pushing its luck getting close but didn't care to terribly much at the moment.
Vincent stepped closer to the two under men placing his elbow lightly on Reno using him as an arm rest for the moment before he parted his lips whispering softly a soft tune. Which caused Cloud to smile a bit along with Reno with them joining in shortly with the kind of depressing tune.
"I close my eyes..., only for a moment, and the moment's gone...
All my dreams..., pass before my eyes, a curiosity...
Dust in the wind, all we are is dust in the wind...
Same old song..., just a drop of water in an endless sea...
All we do..., crumbles to the ground, though we refuse to see..."
There voices sounded almost like they harmonized together but it looked kind of funny seeing these three trying to sing let alone actually pulling it off nicely.
Before They could get to the main part of the song a large chuck of dirt and rock broke off the ledge about 15ft above them and came crashing down with along a dark cloaked figure followed by a sharp shriek causing them to stumble back after turning to see the mess fall to the ground creating a fairly large dust cloud to form for a few minutes before settle showing a figure mangled slightly in the debris before it began to move causing Cloud to trip over Reno with both of them meeting the ground with their behinds and slight sound of pain following with 'what the hell?' coming from them and a groan from the mess of rock and dirt in front.
TBC
Hehehe sorry about the song part I could really see them trying to sing it oddly enough o.O; and I wanted to add some humor in the story so um yeah. If you want you can try and guess what the thing fell and ifs its male or female. Word of warning if you haven't guessed it yet but I suck at writing but maybe over time I might get better at it x.X, also the chapters may get longer as I go. Anyways please R&R needs ppl thoughts and ideas
