Final Fantasy VII-2 – The hurt of Life-chapter 1/ Expect the unexpected.
"Cloud wake up, Cloud wake up, CLOUD wake up," a voice called. This voice was Tifa, Cloud's girlfriend.
"Denzels going to be late for school and Marline!" Tifa went on. Cloud was still asleep. Tifa started to tickle Cloud. She knew he hated this.
"Ah, get off Tifa," Cloud said starting to laugh.
"Am I going to school today, or are you two going to giggle all day," Marline started.
"Okay, okay, go get Denzel, I'll take you to school," Tifa moaned. Marline ran in and cuddled Tifa. She thanked her and ran off to get Denzel.
" Cloud Strife, you are so lazy," Tifa moaned. Cloud shrugged.
"I'll make up for it," Cloud replied. "Just you wait until later then you will be thanking me,"
"Why's that then?" Tifa asked.
"You'll just have to wait and see," Cloud replied.
"TIFA," Marline called.
"See you later," Tifa said. "The kids are calling," Tifa laughed and walked to the kids.
Cloud got out off bed and looked through the window. Tifa was coming back. He flicked open his phone he had one message. It read, Hi Cloud, it's Reno, we need your help at base, you will never guess who has come back from nowhere, it's Aerith. He flicked his phone down. Tifa walked in. He told her what had happened.
"But, you watched her die, this isn't possible, no way is this possible, and I can't believe it!" Tifa said trying to understand what she just heard. Cloud told her to come with him, she agreed. Cloud walked outside. He called Reno.
"Why do you need my help, its Aerith?" Cloud asked. "What could she do to hurt you guys?"
"Well it ain't just her alone, Zac is with her, he ain't in a good mood and… AHH…" Reno started and then ended in pain. Cloud flicked his phone down. Tifa walked out.
"Let's go," Cloud told her. Tifa nodded. Cloud started Fennier up and rode off with Tifa holding on to him. On the way there, Cloud got another call, this time it was from, Tidus. Tifa answered the phone.
"Hello, Tifa speaking" Tifa answered.
"Hi its Tidus is Cloud there?" Tidus replied.
"Yeah, but he is driving at the moment can I take a message?" Tifa asked back.
"No, not really," Tidus answered. Tidus hung up.
"Who was it?" Cloud shouted through the wind.
"Tidus, he seemed pretty angry about something, coz he hung up on me," Tifa replied.
"He can wait," Cloud told her. Tifa shrugged and held on tighter. Cloud knew what it was about.
When Cloud & Tifa reached the base Cloud looked over his shoulder. He saw smoke coming from down the road.
"Get in the building," Cloud ordered. Tifa followed his order. When she entered the building, she thought it looked just like the building where Cloud fought Sepherioth. When Cloud entered he saw blood up the walls. He saw a body covered in blood up against the wall. He recognized it. It was Reno.
"Reno what happened," Tifa asked.
"Soldier in blue, he is with Rufus in the back, I suppose Rude is out cold," Reno explained. What did he mean by soldier in blue, and who was Rufus? Cloud had to find some answers. Him and Tifa made their way to the back room. When they entered the soldier in blue drew a sword out but Cloud knocked him flying and stuck his sword in the soldier in blues stomach. The soldier fell to the floor.
"What was his name?" Cloud asked.
" He went by the name of Loz, he was asking about some one called mother," Rufus explained. Cloud walked over to Rufus.
"You don't fool me," Cloud told him. Cloud took his sword and stabbed Rufus rapidly. Tifa screamed. Cloud walked past her and made his way out the door.
"Were leaving," Cloud said. Tifa looked at him.
"We can't leave them like this," Tifa told him. He turned around. Tifa slapped him. Cloud turned around again and kept walking out the door.
"Are you coming?" Cloud asked. Tifa walked over to him.
"Do you want me to?" Tifa asked back. She took his hand and ran off. Cloud had no choice but to follow. She kept walking until they reached the motorbike.
The next morning Cloud woke up next to Tifa who was still asleep. He didn't know what happened the night before. He heard Denzel and Marlene shouting at each other. He sent them off to school. They moaned as they went out the door. Cloud went back to the bedroom. He saw Tifa was still asleep. He bent over and kissed her lips. Which were warm. He wandered why and how. They were normally cold when he kissed her in the morning. Tifa woke up. She looked happy and bit her lip.
"Have a nice night?" Tifa asked.
"What happened last night, can you remind me?" Cloud asked back.
" You didn't expect it put it that way," she explained.
"In that case I had a perfect night!" Cloud told her. Tifa leaned closer to him, she kissed his lips just like Cloud had done to her and she rolled over and went back to sleep. Cloud's phone stated ringing. He got out of bed and flicked it open.
"Yo Cloud, wonder where you had got to, Me and Yuna just wanted to know if you would want to come round tonight, or something like that," Messages deleted please wait… Cloud flicked his phone down and lye on the bed. Tifa rolled over and put her head on Cloud's shoulder.
"They don't know do they?" Tifa asked in a murmuring voice.
"I haven't told them, should they know?" Cloud answered and asked back. Tifa closed her eyes.
"Remember that time when we were on that building and it nearly collapsed, well I was thinking about that and well maybe it didn't fall because of him maybe someone else made it fall, you know," Tifa told him. Cloud nodded.
"Are you still angry with your self because you haven't told Tidus and Yuna about us, you shouldn't be, no one else knows apart from Denzel and Marlene," Tifa explained. Cloud smiled and cuddled her as she got close to him.
"You need to sleep, after what happened last night we both do," Cloud told her. Tifa agreed and they both went off to sleep.
The door slammed shut. Loud footsteps were heard entering Tifa and Cloud's house. It was Denzel and Marlene soaked from the horrendous rain outside. Marlene stood at the bedroom door looking at Tifa who was fast asleep, while Denzel looked at Cloud who was fast asleep. Marlene looked at Denzel.
"Come on," Marlene told Denzel. They walked into the room next door.
"So how are you and Shelke?" Marlene asked.
"Will you stop asking about me and Shelke we have only been going out since yesterday," Denzel replied.
"Wow that is your longest ever its normally only about 15 minuets and then they get bored!" Marlene explained bursting into laughter.
"SHUT-UP!" Denzel shouted. Cloud opened his eyes, as did Tifa. They walked into the next to there's and saw Denzel on the floor with Marlene standing.
"Marlene what is going on here?" Tifa asked.
"Well, yesterday Denzel got a --," Marlene started but got her mouth covered up by Denzel.
"Denzel let her finish," Cloud told him.
"NO, you can't boss me around!" Denzel shouted. Marlene kicked Denzel in his shin and he let go off her mouth.
"He got a Girlfriend, and guess who she is, only the daughter of Vincent Valentine," Marlene told them. Denzel looked at her.
"YOU GRASS!" Denzel shouted, but he couldn't go towards her because of his leg. Marlene giggled. Cloud got out his phone he scrolled down his contact list until he came to Vincent. Cloud rang his number.
"Vincent, we need to talk!" Cloud told him.
"About what?" Vincent asked.
"Well you will never guess but Denzel is going out with your daughter, Shelke!" Cloud explained.
"I'll have a word with her Cloud, don't worry," Vincent told him. Cloud closed his phone. Tifa walked outside to join Cloud.
"I know what he is going through, when we were younger we would leave our house and say we were going to see some friends but we would go see each other, Denzel is like you Cloud, he asked for you when Shinra was happening," Tifa explained. Cloud looked at her. "And if you keep doing nothing about it then-- don't worry, but what do you want it to be a memory or us?" Tifa finished. Cloud walked away. He got onto Fennier and drove off. Tifa stood there in the cold. Alone.
Marlene walked out. Tifa started to cry.
"Tifa why are you crying?" Marlene asked.
"You wouldn't understand Marlene," Tifa started. A tear fell from her eyes. "It is about me and Cloud." Marlene looked at her.
"You and Cloud can't break up over this," Marlene told her. "Its silly." Tifa wiped the tears and walked inside with Marlene following.
Cloud drove further into the desert. Not knowing where he was going to stop. He looked behind him. He saw a motorbike coming from behind. He recognized the face but he didn't know who it was.
"Having a nice time, away from the family," The voice said. Cloud knew who it was, Kadja.
"Kadja, I knew it was you," Cloud said.
"Nice to see you too!" Kadja said back. They looked at each other. Cloud got out his sword. Kadja did the same. Kadja stared at the ground.
"This is where it ends, Kadja," Cloud told him.
"Oh no this is where it begins," Kadja answered back.
"Shinra is over, I killed Rufus, he was lead of Shinra's operation," Cloud said. Kadja smiled.
"I always knew you had a evil streak," Kadja told him. Cloud raised his sword.
"You asked for it!" Cloud shouted. He ran towards Kadja ready to stab him. But before anything happened, Kadja had gone. Cloud turned round. No one was there. His phone rang. He flicked it up at read the message. "Cloud I need you more than ever right now, I am sorry about what happened earlier, it's just that I want to be with you forever, and I want us no memory." Cloud got back on Fennier and drove back to his and Tifa's house. When Cloud entered Tifa was standing in front off him, biting her lip.
"Thank god you are all right," Tifa explained. She ran forward and hugged him. She stepped back and leaned forward and kissed him. She ran off behind the door in the bedroom. Cloud remembered she did this when they were kids.
"Kids our out," Tifa said. At this moment she was getting undressed. She peered round the door.
"Are you coming?" Tifa asked.
"Yeah," Cloud replied. He walked through the door and shut it quietly behind him.
"Tifa…Tifa, TIFA!" Marlene shouted. "Denzel is round Shelke's house just the two of them." Tifa and Cloud opened their eyes and looked at each other. Tifa got out of the bed and got dressed. Cloud did the same. Tifa opened the door where is Shelke's house. Marlene pointed out the door and down the street.
"Cloud come on," Tifa told him. "Marlene take us there." Cloud followed them. Marlene took them to Shelke's house. Cloud shouted up to the window. He heard a phone ring. It was a phone box. He went and picked the phone up,
"What makes you so shore that they are in there," The voice said. It was Kadja. Cloud put the phone back.
"Denzel and Shelke have been kidnapped by Kadja!" Cloud told them. "We have to find them,".
