Hey there everyone, this is my first Final Fantasy VII Fan Fiction. Please keep in mind that I don't know much about this game. I only saw the movie Advent Children and watched a thing where it showed stuff from the game.

So please excuse my inaccuracy anyway here is the story I'll try my best!

Disclaimer: I don't own Tifa, Cloud, Rude, Yuffie, Rino, Vincent, or any of the other Final Fantasy VII characters I may put on here. Satoru however is my character though.

Chapter One

Tifa woke up in the morning once again angry that her life was going the way it was. Her parents lived above a store that was open 24 seven and most the time they got robbed when ever her careless brother Reno ran the shop at nights. Tifa's parents were also old fashioned and they had arranged her marriage before she had been married.

Tifa wanted nothing to do with her family because of that. Reno was different however he did not have an arrange marriage like she did, Reno was a rebel teenager in a way, and was already pronounce a disgrace to his family after he had stolen a car in 8th grade and also lost his virginity by the age of 15.

Now he was 18 years old and considered an adult all though he is still stuck with the family business, he never thought that he would stay for very long with his guitar and singing skills.

"Tifa its time for you to get out of bed and open the store for the day sweetie." called my mother cheerfully. Tifa pulled the covers over her head and called back to her.

"I don't feel well mother I want to sleep." Tifa listened to her mothers footsteps running up the stairs. She felt a hand press against the covers and pull the covers away from her daughters head.

"Sweet heart that's not an excuse you need to work for the money okay, remember your birthday is only two days away sweetie." Tifa looked at her mothers face and rolled over facing away from her.

"The day I fucking get married!" Tifa mumbled, but it didn't matter how low she said it her mother heard it anyway.

"What did you say young lady!" She yelled angrily, she grabbed Tifa's arms and pulled on her, Tifa looked at her with fright in her eyes. Her mother looked at her in rage and yanked her onto the floor, and then her mother yelled for her husband to walk in to Tifa's bed room.

Tifa knew the kind of trouble she was going to be in now. She closed her eyes tightly and knowing the trouble she was in. After her mother told her father what she said her father grabbed his belt and started to whip her with it, Tifa's frantic cries of pain were heard by her brother's ears. Reno dragged himself out of the bed and went to Tifa's room, when he got there he found his sister lying on the floor motionlessly tears coming from her eyes.

Her father lifted the belt again and whipped her more, it felt like an eternity by the time her father was done beating her.

"You stay in here and think of what you has done dishonoring your mother! " He cried. He grabbed his wife and pulled her quickly out the door and locked it shut. Tifa stayed lying on the floor for an hour before she felt like she could walk again. She walked in her bath room which was in another room attach to the bed room.

She opened the medicine cabinet and started wrapping up her legs and arms, and since she could not reach her back she let it bleed a little more until she got into the shower and tried cleaning her wounds. Tifa sat down in the shower and let the water pour over her body as she was done cleaning herself.

"It stings!" She whispered to herself, as if someone would reply and hear what she said. She heard the bell on top of the store door ring. She wanted to see who it was so she turned of the shower and quickly opened the bathroom vent and listened attentively.

She could hear her mother's voice calling cheerfully to who ever enter the store. She could just picture her mother bowing politely in the Japanese way, since her mother was Japanese.

"Why hello Satoru, yes Tifa is upstairs I heard the water running so I think she has taken a shower awaiting your morning visit no doubt." She said in her normal tone

"Here are the keys I bet you can't wait for your wedding day soon."

"I can't." he simply replied in a cheery voice. It wasn't long before Tifa could hear his footsteps climbing up the stairs. Tifa quickly closed the vent and tried getting her clothes on before he came in.

"Tifa?" He said peeking in through the door. Tifa turned around while putting on her t-shirt which had a heart on it, she luckily already had her shorts on, but her hair was still untidy.

"Hello sir…" she bowed to him in respect, but he merely motioned for her to stand. Satoru the boy she was engage too was a tall 15 year old boy, black hair, kind face as well as kind brown eyes. He was very kind to everyone he met there was never a moment Tifa heard him yell.

But all the same she did not love him, she wanted someone else to love someone she truly loved and that she knew loved her back. Satoru and Tifa sat there for a while in an awkward silence and then Satoru walked over nervously.

"Tifa, I can't wait till we are finally married so I already decided that maybe we should have a party like normal teenagers have." Tifa scowled at that idea and walked to a window looking out of it.

"We aren't normal…" she replied. Satoru walked up behind her and threw his arms around her.

"I thought you might have rejected my offer so I already sent out invitations!"

"What!" Tifa yelled, flinging his arms off of her shoulders.

"Your coming under my command you can't dishonor your finance." Tifa stopped and looked toward the floor sadly.

"I know I can't dishonor the family… fine." Tifa breathed.

"You will come…?" he asked almost as if I had a choice. Tifa nodded her head silently to him; he smiled at her and then walked up to her and bent in to kiss her on the lips. She turned her head and instead he kissed her cheek, Satoru was too wrapped up in her approval that he didn't notice.

"I will have my mother and Mrs. Lockhart work on your dress for the party!" he quickly left and closed the door and ran down stairs. Tifa waited patiently for his foot steps to fade further before she collapsed on her bed and began to cry into her pillow.

"I hate you!" she screamed silently so no one but herself could hear, she cried until her eyes couldn't give anymore tears and her head hurt and she felt tired.

Mean While…

Cloud, watched the city from a cliff just outside the town that was partly lit, that night it was a very warm night and the fire flies were in the grass lighting up the whole cliff side. He stuck his sword into the ground and knelt down in the grass; he grabbed a tape recorder and said.

"I'm entering the town tomorrow at twelve o'clock." He said darkly, he gently took his hand that held the tape recorder down and concentrated on what his plan was. He lifted his hand to his mouth again and said.

"I will take the girl for ransom and exit the city as planed then things will go from there." He put the tape recorder back into his pocket and started the camp fire, and pitched the tent to wait for morning to come.
