Kijira ran towards the explotion.
There she saw Sephiroth and Cloud fighting.
It seemed as Cloud were going to win.
"Cloud! Sephiroth!" She screamed in shock.
Cloud lost consentration and was kicked to the wall.
Sephiroth was about to cut of Clouds neck when Kijira pushed him away, causing Sephiroth to slit her troat. Someone called her name but she couldent see or hear anything, even though her eyes were wide. Her tears mixed with the blood as she breathed for the last time and everything went black.
"Oooh, im dizzy" Kijira whimpered. "Wait!D-didnt I just...die?" She opened her eyes but that didnt help,she still couldt see anything. "Hallo? Is anybody there??...No one??" She screamed out in the dark. She touched her neck but didnt feel the gigant cut that shouldve been there. "I feel sorry for you, girl.." A voice almost whispered to her. It was the voice of an old woman. "Whos there?"
"My name..Is of no importance." She said..
The woman looked at Kijira. At least Kijira tought so, she couldnt really see anything. «You are not aware of how lucky you are, meeting me here, are you?» The woman continued slowly, obviously feeling the hateful stare coming from the Ice-blue eyes of the dead girl in front of her.
«...» Kijira didnt answer, she just continued to stare, trying to resist showing how curious she was. 'How did I get here? What happened? Am I really dead?' All her questions had to wait. «You are very curious. You got here by dying, Sephiroth killed you, and then I guess you understand that, yes, you are dead! Was that a good enough answer for you, dear?» She sounded almost dangerous when she talked now. «...If Im d-dead..Why am I here? And what did you mean 'Im lucky'? How can I be lucky?» Kijira wanted to just cry, but she tried to keep her voice calm when she finaly spoke. A short silence followed. Then Kijira felt a hand touch her cheek then moving up to her short black hair.
«I can bring you back to life. I can let you see him. From there it is your choice. Will you save Cloud again and die forever? Or will you see him die and live on? I give you the life back...heheh...What do you say?»
What was wrong with the womans voice?
The words wispered in her ear again and again. Could she trust her? Why, she was just an old woman, what could she do? «...» She is saying she can let her live again...It shouldnt be that hard to choose. Life... Or death? «Now my dear, You have to choose! Life or death?» the voice said softly. «I-I wanna live!» Kijira said. A strong pain hit her as if someone had stabbed her, and she fainted.
«Is she okay Aerith? She looks like a mess.» This voice belonged to Tifa, obviously Aerith was there too. But.. where was she? Kijira opened her eyes and find herself staring into Yuffies eyes, that were so close their noses almost touched. She tried to scream but not a sound came out from her mouth. «Oh! Shes awake!» yuffie told Aerith and Tifa. «Are you feeling alright? How did you get that big wound on your neck?» Tifa asked while staring at the scar on Kijiras neck. Kijira tried to tell them that she was alright but not a word came. « Oh, she cant speak...I wonder how she survived that anyway..looks like someone cutted her neck of..» Aerith seemed very concerned about her. «Anyways, Im Aerith, this is Tifa and Yuffie.» She got a paper and a pen and gave it to Kijira. «Can you write your name here?» Kijira writed her name on the paper and handed it to Aerith. «Kijira? That is a nice name. Do you think you can write the name of the person who did this to you too?» Tifa asked giving Kijira a new paper. 'I...I cant...I cant tell them..' She turned her head and trew away the paper. 'What are you doing, Kijira? You HAVE to tell them!' She shook her head. Tifa sighed «Kijira..If you want us to help you you got to tell us who it was!» Aerith nodded slowly. «Maby she needs some rest...we should let her sleep..» The other two agreed and left the room.
It seemed like hours passed. Kijira couldnt think clearly, she was just feeling dizzy and sleepy. She was just about to fall asleep when the door opened and a blonde man entered the room. 'Cloud' Kijira pretended to be asleep as Cloud turned to look at her. «She cant talk...Her name is Kijira, but she wont tell us who did this to her..» Tifas voice said. «Atleast she isnt dead» Cloud said quietly. «Yea, youre right, shes just very tired..maby we should leave her alone.» Cloud and Tifa left the room. Kijira was alone again. And finaly she fell asleep...
