Cherry Blossom Kiss
Written by: Die Die

This is a crossover of Final Fantasy 7 and DragonBallZ. I do not own any of the characters in this fanfiction nor any other characters from animes, mangas and games I may write about. I just like them too much.

I wrote this when I was real young and I thought it was cute, I've redone it a whole lot. Changed some things around. And now I think I might actually finish it, because when I was little, I had all these ideas and stuff, one being almost like Carrie since I just watched it. Anyways they're really good. I'm sure that the people who actually think this couple would be cute will like this fiction. Don't worry I'm making it so the characters are in character.

Aeris is an Android/Cetra who is now living with the son family and in love with Trunks. As they were together one night, a mysterious person kidnaps Aeris..
Who is he? What does he want?

This fic is rated T. For profanity, violence and some sexual situations. Some topics may be too mature or too true for the innocent mind.

Chapter 1: ..And Here I Go, I'm Dying As I Lose You..

Waking up to the sunlight falling onto her face like heaven, Aeris raised her arms over her head stretching, looking over at the body beside her, her eyes widen. A boy who looked about twenty or twenty-one lay, his chest and abdomen bare, sheets and blankets covering his middle, strands of purple hanging in his face. The events that took place last night flashed through her mind, a smile etched it's way across her lips as she held a sheet close to her chest. Leaning down so she partially lay her torso on his, she pressed her lips gently onto his neck. She saw him grin in his sleep and then open his eyes looking up at her.

"Good morning Aeris.." Trunks whispered, running his finger down her neck causing Aeris to shiver. "Mmm, goodmorning to you my love."

"That was a wonderful way to wake up this morning.." Trunks murmered, Aeris tilted her head curiously. "What do you mean?" Trunks let his eyes linger, falling down her neck, her hair hanging off her shoulders and in front of her breasts blocking them from his view. Trunks made a pouty face and leaned up nipping at her neck. Aeris giggled and rolled over her hands on his chest as he followed.

"Walking up to a beautiful angel over me.." He whispered into her ear, he had her with the backs of her wrist on the bed. Aeris blinked and looked at him, her face turning pink again. Trunks smirked and with his face inches from hers now, he let his lips touch hers. The instant his lips touched her's a knock that made them both jump and look at the door in horror occured.

"Aeris! Aeris breakfast is ready!" Came Aeris's mother, Chichi's voice. Aeris and Trunks looked at each other and sighed in relief, thankful that the door was locked. "C-Coming mother!" Aeris called out.

"What would you like to eat, waffles or pancakes?" Chichi asked leaning on the door, Aeris put a hand over Trunks's mouth to keep him from speaking, "umm.. how about pancakes?"

"Okay, hurry up now." Chichi called again, her footsteps died away as she walked off. Aeris pushed Trunks up wrapping the sheets around her form as she stood up and walked over to the closet mirror.

"I'm going to get dressed," Aeris stated, Trunks sat up on the bed and ran a hand through his hair ruffeling it, looking up at her he nodded leaning back his arms behind his head.

"Alright," he watched her walk to the bathroom and return moments later wearing a white blouse that looked pretty tight, to Trunks's , she was also wearing a blue jeaned skirt that was also tight, from what he saw. Sitting up Trunks clapped with a smirk on his face, "Ohhh.. THAT'S nice."

"T-Thank you, now it's your turn, get up and get dressed." A faint blush on her cheeks she begins braiding her hair as she looks into the sliding mirror on her closet door. Trunks looked at her a moment then sighed.

"Alright, alright." he mumbled and began putting his pants on, when he was ready Aeris took him by the hand and lead him from her room through the kitchen, she stopped at the sound of her mother's voice and gulped hiding behind the wall, biting her lip she turned to Trunks who was smiling at her, she paused a moment staring into his eyes. Of course he's not worried the trouble we'd get in if they found us..

"It'll be okay." he whispered into her ear, causing her to blink and come back to reality, nodding slightly Aeris turns back, looking at the two mothers, Bulma at the table reading the newspaper with a cup of coffee beside her, Chichi at the stove making pancakes. Aeris nodded coming up with a plan, she'd walk in first, then Trunks would.

"Okay, I'll go first, then you walk out from your bedroom okay?" Aeris whispered as she turned back to him, Trunks nodded, purple strands waving back and forth. He turned the corner and opening his door slowly he sneaked in, Aeris, took a deep breath and putting a smile on she walked into the kitchen. Both eyes immediately set on her.

"Ohayou mom, ohayou Bulma" Aeris said in a bright voice as she seated herself at the table, Bulma smiled and closing the newspaper she set it down beside her and leaned in, her hands coming together and closing on each other while she let her elbows rest on the table top, she leaned her chin on her hands and smiled.

"I'm great, I just wish Trunks would wake up, but anyways.. How are YOU? I heard you have a date." Bulma smirked and tilted her head to the side, Chichi set a plate down in front of Bulma and Aeris, looking over at her daughter with a grin.

"M-Maybe.." Aeris muttered, she looked down at her plate and began picking at her pancakes, her fork causing a rip in one of them. Chichi sat down beside Aeris with her own plate and closed her eyes smiling.

"And who is this lucky man?" Chichi asked, Aeris looked at her mother blankly then blushed. "W..Well.." Where the hell is Trunks when you need him!

"Ohayou everyone!" Aeris turned to the hallway where she had previously walked in and saw Trunks, he stood wearing his blue jean pants with a silk white shirt with the top buttons undone as well as the cuffs. The under part of his upper right arm on the hallway wall with his ankles crossed and left hand in his pocket, he smirked at the three women who turned to look at him.

"Ohayou to you to my son, about time you're awake," Bulma replied after the short silence, Chichi got up and turned to Trunks. "Pancakes or waffles?" She asks, with a small tilt of the head.

"Pancakes." Replies the lavender haired prince. Chichi nods and turning to the stove she puts three pancakes on the plate and grabs a fork and knife then sets it down in front of Trunks.

"Arigato Chichi," Trunks says with a nod, reaching over and grabbing the pancake syrup he locks eyes with Aeris who smiles and turns away blushing with pink. He grinned and poured it on his breakfast silently.

"So, Aeris, what's your date look like? What's he like?" Bulma's voice broke the silence yet again causing Aeris to look up when her name was said. A pause, then a shake of the head and she smiled.

"Well.. he's real cute, adorable. He's frequently called hot. He's.. He's really nice, a gentlemen, he has his moments though." Aeris had brought her gaze down to her food and was cutting the pancake with her fork, she smiled to herself then noticed the silence again.

"er.. I.. I mean! I'm hungry! Let's eat shall we!" Aeris asked as she looked up to find the three of them staring at her, Bulma and Chichi with a smile, Trunks with a smirk.

When Aeris was finished she stood up, walked to the sink and put her dishes in. Running the water over the dish to get the syrup off she smiled and turned it off then turned to her mother, Bulma and Trunks.

"Um.. I've gotta go, my date's probably waiting. So I should get outta here. Thank you for the breakfast mom. I'll see you guys later, okay?" Said Aeris as she walked around the table, hugged her mother then locking eyes with Trunks and smiling she headed for the door.

"Be safe Aeris, I'll see you later, love you." Chichi calls from the kitchen, Aeris smiled turning back from the open door. "Love you mom."

As Aeris closed the door she walked around the house and to the kitchen window, peeking in at the three at the table. Smiling, she noticed that every now and then she'd see Trunks laugh hesitantly and then bite his lip looking back at the hallway leading to the door.

She watched him, his soft purple locks sliding back and forth as he leaned forward to eat, to laugh. His blue eyes glinting in the light, his smile. His smile drove her crazy. Looking him over she took in a breath, his pants really fit him well.. His shirt slightly open. Such a tease.. Aeris thought. Dozing off into her own little world, thoughts of last night filling her mind..

A smile, returned by another. Touching, his hands, touching her all over. Their legs entwined, his hands running through her brunette locks, his arms around her, holding her close to him. His lips, trailing quick kisses from her lips to her neck. Such soft lips.. Blankets covering them, over them, all around them. Love holding them close.

Trusting each other, a nod, a smile. A kiss, a touch, a night where a fire sparked between them.

Trunks smiled and stood up, setting his plate in the sink he turned to his mother and pulled her into a hug, she laughed and hugged him back. "Love you son." She said and kissed his cheek, Trunks grinned, "Love you mom." He let her go and turned to Chichi.

"The pancakes were delicious Chichi, thank you." Chichi smiled, "Thank you Trunks. Be safe out there." He nodded and turned to the door with a thankful sigh, opening it and walking out he blinked confused, looking to the right then to the left. Where was Aeris? He tiptoed around the house and blinked, a perfectly round butt wearing blue jeans and the back of a woman wearing a white shirt with a long light brown braid flowing down her back met his eyes. Smirking the Saiyajin Prince snuck up behind her.

A dazed expression on her face, Aeris didn't see the pair of hands that snaked their way from behind her to cover her mouth and eyes catching her off guard. She almost screamed until she heard..

"Guess who.." In her ear, she new the voice. "Trunks?" she asked turning, Trunks smiled and nodded, caressing her cheek softly.

"Yes, love?" He asked, leaning his head to the side, Aeris shook her head and turned her face to the inside of his hand holding it their, kissing the inside of his hand she smiled.

"Where do we go now?.." she purred at him, Trunks grinned, his blue eyes glinting he put his left arm under her knees and his right arm behind her back picking her up, walking out a few paces, he kissed her cheek.

"I'll show you," He whisped, then kicking off the ground he flew off.

Trunks landed on a grassy cliff where a cherry blossom tree stood a couple feet back from the drop off, surprisingly the grass was cut and looked clean. Setting Aeris down Trunks smiled and brushed a piece of her hair out of her face. She smiled and leaned up kissing the top of his nose, then turned to the edge of the cliff, looking down at the city below. It was evening now, probably five or six in the afternoon.

Looking up, Aeris breathed in a gasp, then caught sight of the cherry blossom tree and stopped, in shock she looked at Trunk then ran towards it. Following her, the Prince of Saiyajins stopped behind her, she ran her fingers over the bark of the tree and swallowed, feeling tears swell up in her eyes. He remembered. After all this time he really remembered.

"Trunks.. It's.. It's the Sakura tree.." Aeris whispered to the point where Trunks could barely hear her. Aeris turned around, a smile on her lips with tears in her emerald green eyes.

"Y-Yes.. it is, Aeris what's wrong? I brought you here hoping you'd be happy.." Trunks stated with a frown, he looked at the floor feeling like an idiot. Aeris blinked and shook her head abruptly, putting her hand on his chest making him look up at her, she leaned on him and smiled again. Looking into those pools of ocean blue.

"I'm sorry, Aeris.." Trunks's voice whispered breaking her from his gaze, Aeris shook her head again. "No, Trunks I love it. I love this place. Thank you so much." Aeris said, hoping he'd lose the look of sorrow in his eyes, blinking surprised Trunks smiled at her.

"Really?" He asked, pulling her closer to him, she stared into his eyes and nodded. "Of course.. Would I lie to you?" Trunks smirked, "only to save me." He responded, Aeris smiled and leaned up pressing her soft lips against his. Putting his hand behind her head he pressed back, adding to the pressure.

Breaking the kiss, Aeris winked playfully and sat down against the tree, sitting down beside her Trunks put his back against the trunk and felt Aeris slide into his arms. Her head on his chest she felt him lean his head down and kiss the top of her head. She smiled to herself and nuzzled him somewhat. Then looked up at the sky and watched the cherry blossom petals fly into the distance.

He was so sweet, holding her hand, their fingers entwined with each others. Fit so perfectly. Her eyes gazing to the sky, she frowned partially. Their little saying, hurt her somewhat. 'Would I lie to you?' 'Only to save me.' When she thought about it, Trunks didn't know.. did he. Then again she really didn't know the whole story. She knew she was part android, also something else. Something called a Cetra? She wasn't exactly sure what it was. She did know one thing, the crystal like rock, that was smooth on all sides and would glow a light green every now and again, wasn't really normal. She didn't know what it was, wish she did though.

Chichi and Goku, her adoptive parents, had told her they adopted her a while back. When she was very young, probably four or five or so. She never knew her birth mother, she had a picture, that she had gotten from the adoption agency. But that was all, it wasn't a very good picture. But it was something, and that, Aeris was grateful for.

Still, she wanted to know more, typical. Wasn't it normal to always want more? But she didn't always want more, other times she was perfectly happy with the way it was. She just wanted to know more about her. That was normal, right? Normal.. No matter how much she wanted to be, she could never. Not just because she was part android, which she was still confused about. How could she be part android all these years? Is it possible an android can grow up? Confusing. Yes, very.

There was also the "Cetra" part of her. What exactly WAS a Cetra anyway? She'd looked it up quite a few times... In fact, she did everytime she entered a library thinking maybe, just maybe this library may know more than the others. From what she knew from the books the Cetra was an ancient race of people who would communicate with the earth or something along those lines. That, was even more confusing. How can someone let alone an entire race of people talk to the earth? It didn't make sense.. But, then again. She wasn't going to deny it, but hadn't told anyone for fear of being labled "Mental." She heard voices, sometimes all at once to the point where she couldn't understand, others to the point where she was able to understand a couple of words. But that was mostly it. But it could be possible that they weren't even words, more like screams. They sounded like a different language at times, when she could understand it anyway. What confused her was it sounded like a foreign language, yet she understood it as well as english. Weird, how could screams be a different language?

Aeris winced slightly, catching her by surprise, she felt a couple of fingers slide through her hair. A moment passed before Aeris pressed on the enigma in her mind. What if.. What if the screams she was hearing was the earth? Should she really believe she's one of the decendents of such a powerful people?

Lips were pressed to the top of her head knocking Aeris from her dream world. She turned onto her back, her head still resting in Trunks's lap, she gazed up at him. Her eyes swirling a soft green as he stared into them, Trunks ran the back of his four fingers over her velvet felt cheek and couldn't help but smile. Like an angel, she was. Her light brown hair sticking up at odd angles still made her look beautiful, her hair wasn't as weird as his dad's or Goku's. It was pretty, his right hand moved to the end of her braid and began curling the end of her hair around his finger. His eyes slid from her eyes to her lips, to her neck and then back to her lips again. Licking his own he swallowed, her smile turned into a giggle. She knew what she did to him. And she loved it.

He was so adorable, the way he moved, the way he would smile, lick his lips.. Get turned on by her in the smallest of ways. She hadn't done anything, she had only seen him break their gaze, look to her lips and then to her... chest? She wasn't sure, maybe that was it. Who knows, it was cute though. She caught his eyes in her's again and smiled, her reflection dancing his eyes, she felt like she was swimming in those pools of blue of his. They were so deep, as if he was hiding something. But what would he have to hide from her? It worried her, but she didn't think too much of it, she could trust him... Couldn't she? Of course, he's Trunks, he'd never do anything to hurt me.

Putting her hand to his cheek, then slowly moving her fingers over his lips she parted her own and took in a breath. Feeling his breath on her index and middle finger as she barely touched his lips she shivered. Funny how he's able to do that to me to..

Tearing her hand from his face she gulped and stood up. Brushing the back of her off and smiling, Trunks looked up at her in a look of disappointment. He wanted it, she knew. But they couldn't, well not here anyway. It had turned dark, yes. And the stars were out as well as the moon, reaching up to the branches of the cherry blossom tree she pulled a blossom from the leaves and branch, then with a smile to Trunks she stepped over to the edge, looking out at the city lights. Yellows, reds, pinks, blues, greens, purples and soft hues met her and the brush of lights collided with her shirt causing it to glow.

Watching her, as she bent over to look down at the city, Trunks sighed deeply and smirked. What a great view, her cute round bum facing him he couldn't help but think it. He was half human. He felt his heart take a leap and looked at the ground, grass and dirt looking oh-so intriguing. He shook his head and laughed to himself, looking up at her again, she had stood up fully her shoulders relaxed as she faced the moon with her eyes closed, the blossom in her hands which were held in front of her stomach. She looked like such an angel right now.. What a kodak moment.

Ruffling his hair, deeply regretting the fact that he forgot his camera. But he couldn't keep the cursed feeling for long, thankfully. He had looked back to Aeris again, staring at her. She opened her eyes slowly and pulled the flower up to her face, pressing her soft lips to the petals. Trunks grinned as he saw the perfect outline of her lipstick on the petal.

Suddenly, as if from nowhere. What looks like a black and silver blur, flies in from above and grabs Trunks's angel. In horror, Trunks watches as this man, this thing, snakes it's arm around Aeris's waist and pulls her towards it. As if in slow motion Trunks saw Aeris turn slightly in shock, move as if to step away, get pulled back and slammed against the torso. Her hands immediately throwing up the cherry blossom and clutching the things arm she parts her lips a moment passes as she takes in a breath to scream.

Trunks swung his foot around kicking up dirt and slicing grass, practically running on air he reaches the edge too late. No Aeris, no super-flying thing. His heart racing, he paused a moment, his feet on the ground. Feeling everything go silent, to the point where he only heard his heart thumping now in throat, Trunks turned to the right, then to the left. Where... Where is she?

Looking up, hoping to kami he'd see her and the thing that kidnapped his angel he was let down. The only thing to greet him the cherry blossom that Aeris had kissed. He watched it fall, fall so slowly, everything quiet except his beating heart, falling so slowly... So slowly..

Then it touched, and as if flicking a switch everything turned on. Hearing not only his heart, his heavy breathing, the wind brushing the blossoms in the tree, the city below, the grass being blown to one side. It came so fast, it happened to fast.. Aeris.. Aeris? Aeris where are you? His mind kept repeating, praying he'd get an answer.

Falling to his knees right in front of the cherry blossom that held his angels kiss, Trunks, who was now in shock, trembling and every so often twitching. Curving his back as he hunched over, the lavender haired boy gently picked up the blossom, staring at it as if in a trance. His lips spreading, he took in a gasp.

"AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAERIS!" Trunks finally found his voice, closing his eyes turning Super Saiyajin, he threw back his head, and with one hand he slammed it into the ground, not caring if he made cracks in the edge, not caring if the ledge could break at any moment, not caring because he didn't have her, he didn't have his angel. She was gone. Gone? Gone..

Feeling tears tear at the back of his eyelids, Trunks hunched over again, his hair falling vack in place turning purple. Sliding his left hand to his face he took in the smell, his eyes opening slowly as he came face to face with the lipstick mark Aeris had made moments before her abduction. Tears began to fall from his eyes, so in a brief moment of pride he closes them, gritting his teeth and letting them fall with a whimper emitting his lips, Trunks pulled the blossom to his chest and over his heart.

----

Pulling Bulma to the window as Chichi saw Trunks's form walking ever-so-slowly making his way through the darkness towards the lights of Capsule Corp. A moment passed before Bulma opened the door, confused as to why her son was walking with his shoulders slumped, his face aimed at the ground, and dragging his feet.

When he reached the door, Bulma put her hand on his shoulder to get his attention. He seemed in a whole other place. Almost lazily, Trunks lifted his head to meet Bulma's eyes. His own bloodshot, red and puffy. As if he'd been crying.

"Trunks?.. Trunks, are you okay? Oh my god, Chichi help me get him to the kitchen." Both women grabbing Trunks's arms and half walking half dragging him to the kitchen, set him down in a chair from the table. His form didn't move, nor did he say anything.

"Trunks?.. Trunks, sweetie are you okay? What's wrong?" Bulma asked, her tone showing worry as well as her eyes. She swallowed to regain control, her heart beat fast as she tried to get it to slow down. Trunks's eyes didn't even twitch.

"Trunks.. Trunks, where is Aeris?" It was like cracking a whip against his back, he tensed, his eyes flickered and he moved his lifeless stare to Chichi's face. Chichi, herself took in a breath, wondering if he'd keel over or if he'd make a move to attack or something. Trunks gulped hard, his lips opening then closing as though trying to say something but not getting the words out. Chichi nodded slightly, not sure what he was trying to say, even when she was reading his lips, they weren't words. From what she saw. But then his eyes rolled to the back of his head and his shoulders slumped as he began to fall to the side.

Bulma let out a squeak and grabbed her son by the collar to hold him to the chair. Taking a deep breath again, her heart rate still fast she turned her head towards Chichi who was holding Trunks's shoulder so he didn't fall.

"Go get Vegeta! Please hurry!" Receiving a nod and then Chichi rushing from the room to the outside and backyard, Bulma sighed to herself and looked at her son shaking her head. What happened..

"Vegeta! Vegeta! Bulma needs your help!" Chichi hollared as she slammed her fist on the training room door, she got no reply and slammed her fist again numerous times. "VEGETA!" Instantly the door split in two and the king of Saiyajins came face to face with her.

"What do you WANT Woman!" Chichi backed up slightly, her hands balling into fist she was trying to keep calm. "Bulma needs your help." She responded, just now realising how out of breath she was from running.

"What does that woman want? I'm in the middle of training! I told you all to leave me alone!" An enraged Vegeta growled, drops of sweat running down his chest as a towel was hung around his neck. He was wearing black baggy pants and no shoes.

"Vegeta.. it's Trunks, he's unconscious and we don't know what's wrong with him." Whimpered Chichi, she felt like she was begging him to go. And she hated begging, hated it.

"So what! Is THAT what you came to tell me? It's not my problem!" And with that Vegeta turned around and entered the training room the doors closing behind him. Chichi rolled her eyes and ran back inside gritting her teeth. Bulma turned to look at her as she ran in, looking behind her for Vegeta.

"Where's Vegeta?" She asks stressed and an attitude in her voice, Chichi closes her eyes. "He won't come, he went back into the training room." Bulma twitched and putting on a smile she stood up.

"Could you sit with him?" She seemed strangely calm, but you could tell she was gonna go off. Chichi just didn't want it to be on her, she might end up hurting Bulma. Kami knows she wanted to half the time. Sitting down beside Trunks she held the wet rag on his forehead. Bulma then walked out of Capsule Corp. outside and to the backyard. Calmly she tapped on the door. No response. Again, but with more pressure she tapped on the door. Was he ignoring her completely?

Chichi heard a couple slams and then shouting from outside and rolled her eyes. Reaching to the counter she grabbed the phone and began dialing her son's cell phone number. One ring.. Come on Gohan, pick up... Two rings.. How long are they going to be fighting?.. Kami, what's going on..

"Mom?"

"Yes? Gohan?"

"Yes mom it's me. Are you okay? No dad! That's me and Videl's dinner! Sorry.."

"It's okay, I'm fine. But I can't say the same for Trunks. Can you, your father and Goten come over here?"

"Hmm? Trunks?.. Um, sure mom. We'll be over in a few minutes."

"Thank you Gohan, see you then. Love you, be safe."

"You to."

Chichi heard a click and nodding she hung up also, the boys and Goku had been out training for a while. A long time actually.. screams and yells still being heard from outside, she shook her head and looked down at Trunks. Poor kid. She couldn't help but think. He had to grow up with this sort of thing, then again Gohan had to grow up with her and Goku, so she really shouldn't talk.

One of the most repeated phrases to run through her mind tonight flashed in again, where was Aeris? She knew he was with her. It wasn't really obvious, but the way they looked at each other this morning. She was certain she'd end up getting hit with one of the fireworks. It was sweet though, you don't usually get that nowadays. A couple that's actually in love.

"Argh, you are SO impossible!" Chichi blinked and shook her head, getting out of her daze. Bulma had just walked in followed by Vegeta who was red in the face, Bulma was also but she seemed to have let it all out. She wasn't as mad anymore, just irritated. Growling Vegeta picked up Trunks and walked into the living room and set him on the couch. Chichi walked after him and sat down beside Bulma who was in front of Trunks. Handing the wet rag to Bulma, Chichi sighed sofly.

"Hello! We're here." Goten's voice rang in the silence, Chichi turned her head towards the hallway where the front door was and blinked. She suspected he had just walked in, rude. But, atleast they're here. Goku stepped into the living room wearing no shirt but the bottom of his orange gi, picking Chichi up and holding her to him. Nuzzeling him slightly Chichi pressed her lips to his and then smiled.

"Missed you, you know." She said with a sigh, Goku pressed his nose to her's. "I missed you to Chichi. Have you guys had any dinner yet? I'm starving." Chichi laughed and breaking away from Goku, she grabbed his hand and lead him to the kitchen.

Bending down, Gohan took a look at Trunks and raised a brow. "How is he?" His voice came in a whisper, Bulma shrugged, looking as if to cry. Vegeta sat in the recliner by the wall. Drinking a soda, raising it to his lips every so often.

----

Wincing as a blurred site came into view, Aeris looked around confused. Why was she so cold? Then events of what happened several hours earlier flashed into her mind. Gasping, she got up and noticed the floor she was on was glowing, seeing the device she was in caused her severe discomfort. She'd been in here before.. But when? A see through tube with at the top was closed and a small door in front of her. Biting her lip she grabbed hold of the door handle and twisted. Locked. Of course..

"Hnn.. Do you enjoy doing the obvious?" Aeris took a step back, she hadn't realised someone was there, she couldn't really see either. Pressing her face to the glass she see's a man with silk-like long silver hair with white armor on both his shoulders, a trench coat that stopped at his ankles with a strap going from one side of his chest with another over that one going to the other side. Both the straps destinations hidden by the coat, he wears long black pants that hide black boots and carries a yoshiyuki at his side.

Aeris blinked and pulled her face inches from the glass, wincing. He had his arms crossed over his chest, his ankles crossed as he was leaning on the wall. Facing the floor with his eyes closed, the mans voice was soft yet cold. Almost heartless. The palms of her hands on the door she digs her nails into the glass. Tilting her head to the side she breathed heavily causing her breath to fog up the glass.

The man slowly looked up, his eyes opening looking at her from her feet then up. They then locked eyes, as if a silent flash hit both of them, they winced. Uncrossing his arms and stepping up to the glass tube. He looked dead, his eyes a heartless green, his face and skin a pale white. Yet Aeris couldn't take her eyes off him, something was pulling her to him. But what was it? What was this unseen force.. Was it him? He didn't look very interested in her until they both caught each other's eye. She scratched the glass again.

"Who are you?.." Aeris whispered, still staring him in the eye. He didn't move, still locking eyes. "Sephiroth.." Whispered back the ghost-like man. Brushing the tip of her nose on the glass she breathed heavily again, watching her breath collide with the glass then repeling into swirls the sides of his mouth moved as though about to smile.

Dragging her hand down slowly she places it where his heart is through the glass, Sephiroth tilted his head somewhat and pulling his hand up and over to the glass he pauses, but a moment later puts his hand on her's. Palm to palm. Aeris looked down at her hand and choked from the cold, then tilted her own head and switched her gaze to his. Sephiroth breathed heavily and looked at their hands, then to her face. Who is she..

"Who.. are you.." Sephiroth spoke silently, his gaze piercing her, but she didn't want him to look away. Why not? Why was she wanting to be out of here just so she could touch him. His face.. his hands.. his hair. Why? She loved Trunks! Why was she suddenly so fasinated with this guy? She didn't even KNOW him! But.. she felt like she did. Or she felt... safe with him. But.. why?

"A..Aeris." Whispered the girl, her voice trembling now. Why was it so cold? Why was she here? Sephiroth blinked and looked down then back to Aeris. "Who are you.." Was his next question. Aeris swallowed, confused she took in a breath.

"What do you mean?.." Replied Aeris, she just told him her name. Sephiroth took a step closer to Aeris and put his other hand on the glass where her's was. Aeris closed her eyes, feeling warmth filling her. "Are.. you a Cetra-"

"Sephiroth!" The voice broke the silver haired man from Aeris and turned to the man how walking up to him. Aeris was still leaning on the glass, Sephiroth with his hands at his sides facing the man who just entered. He had black hair, a white lab suit and glasses. His back seemed to curve, he looked towards Aeris who looked at him then back at Sephiroth.

"Professor Hojo.. I'm sorry." Sephiroth looked at the man who stared back then glanced to Aeris who was looking at Sephiroth. Hojo winced, glaring at the silver haired man he shook his head.

"Go see President Rufus, Sephiroth." Hojo ordered not even looking at him now, Sephiroth looked at Hojo then to Aeris, locking eyes then nodding he takes his leave. Watching him go Aeris scratched at the glass again, breathing heavily and still shivering she frowned.

"So.. Aeris, is it?" She looked away from the door and to Hojo. He was standing right in front of her, Aeris winced and took her hands from the door and stepped back. "Yes.. Why am I here?" She looked at him a glare in her eye. Hojo only smirked, taking a step forward.

"So I take it you've met Sephiroth.." Ignoring her question Hojo tilts his head to the side, Aeris swallowed. "..Who is he.." At first Aeris was afraid that Hojo had thought she didn't know who he was, she did, she did indeed. But, Hojo knew exactly what she was talking about.

"He's a Cetra also." Aeris stopped, her eyes wide and blinking her heart beating fast. "He is..?" She looked hopeful, she was. But she didn't want him to know that. Is that why she was so bent on wanting to get out?..

"You two seemed.. Pretty into each other. Don't you have a boyfriend?" Aeris bit her lip, her anger flaring. But why? Why get so angry over this? She loved Trunks.. Didn't she? Of course she did.. Hojo was fucking with her head, he had to be. Growling she walked away from him and to the back of the tube leaning her back against it.

"Well now, that's not very nice. You answer me when I'm talking to you." Hojo had a tint of anger in his voice, not answering him Aeris didn't even look at him, gritting his teeth Hojo smiled suddenly.

"Well then, we have punishments that serve their purpose." Raising his hand to the glass door Hojo smirks muttering something under his breath, Aeris shivered and looking up at Hojo confused, she hugs her arms. Why was it getting so cold in here? Glancing around the tube frost was curling up the walls, the floor and on the ceiling. Whimpering she slides down to her knees and hugs them close, her teeth chattering she closes her eyes and begins feeling a freezing sensation on her legs. Looking down she see's frost wrapping around her thighs, a blanket of frozen blue swirling around her body, hugging her tight.

So.. So cold..
