THE WORLDS STRONGEST SOLDIER CHAP2

Cloud was now out of the church. Lightning stood in silence as the door started to swing back and forth. She stood not really knowing what to say or do. After a minute she followed Cloud outside. Cloud was already on his bike sitting there waiting for her. Lightning quickly mounted her bike and followed Cloud back to new 7th heaven, after a little bit they arrived back at Cloud's and Tifa's bar. They walked in to see that, like always, the bar was slightly busy. It wasn't where they were packed but still had a steady flow and where they didn't have time to dilly dally. Tifa noticed them entering the bar and called them over. They slowly walked over to where Tifa stood behind the counter, they then listened as Tifa said.

"There you guys are! Listen, Cloud, we have a delivery that you haft to do, they said they are willing to pay premium if we can get it there soon."

Cloud shook his head and said that he would leave and go take the package now. Tifa then gave Cloud a piece of paper with the item number of the package on it. Cloud then left and went into the ware house. Lightning looked at her watch and saw that it was in the evening hours and she was at the bar so why not a drink being she didn't even finish her beer from earlier before her and Cloud left to go to the church. So she sat down at the bar stool and ordered a beer. She sat there and took a small sip before she saw Cloud walk in. While he was walking in Lightning could hear the door to the bar open behind her. Cloud then saw who it was that entered into the bar and his eyes shot open his mouth dropped. There in front of him stood a woman he hasn't seen in many years and honestly thought that he might never see again. Lighting then spun around to see who Cloud saw walk in. She was an older women who the years haven't been specifically kind to, her hair was starting to turn gray, she wore a long red gown and she was carrying a pair of glasses. Lightning thought that she must be in her early fifty's. Lightning watch as the women walked straight up to Cloud and say.

"Cloud it's been awhile."

Cloud sighed and lowered his head and said.

"I'm sorry." The old woman's hand reached up and rubbed on Clouds face as she said. "Cloud, don't be. I was told of how you fought bravely and risked your life to try and save her there was nothing more that you could do."

Cloud slightly pulled his head back and continued to listen as the old women then finally said the reason why she was here.

"I was going through some things and I found this picture. She had made two of these because she planned to give you one and keep one for herself. So I thought that you should keep the one that was made for you."

The old women then handed Cloud a wallet sized photograph. Cloud looked at the photo for a minute before he put it in his wallet and said.

"Thank you… Miss Gainsborough."

The old women smiled and told him that he was welcome before she turned around and began to walk out of the room. Cloud then walked over to the counter acrosed from Tifa and handed her the picture and said. "I'm going to go out and make that delivery; can you please put this in my room?" Tifa shook her head yes and took the picture. Cloud then turned and left the bar with the package in his arms. Lightning, now being very curious, walked over to Tifa and sat down on a bar stool across from her while she was wiping the counter.

"So, Tifa, who was that and what's that picture?"

Tifa just smiled and handed Lightning the picture. Lightning took it carefully into her hands and looked at it and when she did she was actually a little surprised. The picture was of Cloud sitting on a bench in a flower garden. He was leaning forward a little and had his one arm down on his knee. What surprised her though was that there was a girl in the picture as well. The girl had long brown hair with bright green eyes. She wore a long silky pink dress. She was standing behind and a little to the side of cloud. She had her arms wrapped around Cloud and the two of them were holding hands. In this picture Cloud and the women were both smiling and they both looked very, very happy. Lightning then handed the picture back to Tifa and listened as Tifa began to explain.

"The girl in that picture… her name was aries. She was Clouds girlfriend, they were madly in love with each other. The women who came here was her mother."

"What ever happened to this aries girl"

"She died… back when we on our journey to defeat Sephiroth for the first time. She left to try and help. She knew the dangers of what she was doing, but she did it anyway and without her doing what she did we might have never defeated Sephiroth. Cloud went and tried is best to save her…we all did. But we were to late Sephiroth got there first and killed her. He killed her right in front of Cloud and then laughed at him and his misery he had after watching the one he loved be killed right in front of him."

Lightning was taken back but she held her composure very well.

"I had no idea, It must have been hard on him."

"It was… He has blamed himself ever since it happened."

The two remained silent for a few minutes being neither one knew what to say at all. Finally Lightning stood up and reached into her pocket and pulled out some money and handed it to Tifa to pay for her beers. Lightning told her to keep the change as she turned around and began to walk out. She took a couple of steps before she stopped at hearing Tifa call her name. Lighting turned around with a slightly curious look on her face as Tifa asked.

"Tomorrow night I'm having a few friends over… and um I was wondering if you would like to come?"

Lightning let out an amused sigh and said. "I'll see what I can do, but I'm not guaranteeing anything." The pink haired soldier then turned and walked out of the bar. She then got on her bike and took off heading home. She soon arrived at her house where she immediately noticed something weird. She could see that all the lights where off, but her sister was supposed to be home and it was way too early for her to go to bed. She walked into the dark house to hear something that no sister wanted to hear. She heard a lot of men in her sister's room and her sister screaming "HEEEEEEEEELP ME SOOOOOOOOOMONE!" it then sounded like someone was being hit. Lightning ran at full speed with her sword in hand to her sister's room. The men inside had Serah pushed onto the bed and they were ripping her clothes and started to hit her and it was obvious what there intensions where. The group of men stopped as they heard one of their men standing by the door let out a loud grunt of pain. They turned as they watched their man fall to the ground, bleeding and unconscious. They looked up to see their worst nightmare. There in front of them stood the newly famous soldier first class Lightning Farron and she was obviously pissed off. They took a slight step back as they heard her say.

"YOU BASTARDS! FOR WHAT YOU HAVE DONE TO MY SISTER PREPARE TO… DIEEE!"

Lightning then dashed forward and swung her blade knocking another man out. Including the two holding Serah there where 20 men. Lightning recognized these men by badges on their clothing. They belong to an infamous group of criminals made up of purely A rank criminals. Lightning continued to kick the asses of the 18 men with fair amount of ease she even threw one out the window. Within 5 minutes all 18 where down and she turned to defeat the two who were holding sereh but when she did she saw the two men lying on the ground unconscious and Sereh standing over top of them. Lightning sprinted over to her sister and wrapped her in her arms. After a quick hug they pulled back and Lightning looked at her sister. Sereh now had a black eye and multiple of other bruises here and there on her body and most of her clothes where ripped.

"Sereh… are you ok?"

"Clair, do I look like I'm ok?"

Lightning pulled her sister in close again and began to say.

"I'm sorry I wasn't here to help you."

"Don't be… you came when I needed you most and if you hadn't have gotten here any sooner who knows what all they might have done to me… That dame gang is cruel."

Before either one could say anything more they heard police sirens going off in their drive. So the two sisters then stood up and headed out to talk to the police. Apparently a neighbor had saw the ruckus going on at their house and decided to call the police after seeing a man being sent through the window. The police asked Serah a few questions before taking her to the doctor to be examined to make sure everything was ok. Lightning wanted with all of her heart to go with her sister to the hospital but she had to stay and talk with the police about the criminals and what happened before she could. The criminals all went to jail for the rest of their lives do to previous crimes that they had committed. Apparently the men were searching for a random house to ransack and they just happened to choose their home. After the commotion Lightning then joined her sister at the doctors. After a little examination the doctor confirmed that she was fine other than a few bumps and bruises. Lighting then drove the two home. By the time the two reached their home it was pretty late and they were both exousted they decided to go straight to sleep. They decided that they would clean up the mess in their house the next day. Lightning was laying down in her bed and she just couldn't wait to fall asleep and to momentarily let the stress of the day fade away. Her eyes began to sag involuntarily. She was fading in and out of consciousness and then

Knock, knock, knock. She heard Serah knocking on her door asking to come in. Of course, Lightning said to come in and Serah was probably glad that she was who she was right now because if anyone else would have just woken her up right now she would probably haft to hurt them. Serah walked in with tears in her eyes which made Lightning instantly lean forward. Serah just stood there for a moment before Lightning motioned for her to come sit down beside her on the bed. Serah rushed over and buried her head into her sister's chest and let out a few more tears before she said.

"Clair… I'm scared."

Lightning used to cringe inside whenever she heard her sister call her Clair, but she soon got over it being Serah always called her Lightning in front of people. Lightning then reached her hand up and held her younger sisters head in an effort to try and comfort her.

"Don't worry Serah I'm right here you don't haft to worry."

Serah leaned back a little and that's when she noticed that her sister had a fairly long cut on her arm.

"CLAIR! Your hurt are you ok? Did you get that in the battle?"
Lightning nodded her head and said.

"Yeah, being that there were so many and they were all A ranked criminals they were pretty tough and I was acting pretty carelessly being on how pissed off I was."

"I'm sorry you got hurt while protecting me."

"Don't be besides this scratch is nothing. If things like this kept me down I would have never had made first class."

Serah then leaned forward again and hugged her sister. Lightning returned the hug and sat there holding her younger sister. The two sat there for a few minutes until Lightning had noticed that Serah had actually fallen asleep in her arms. Lightning decided that it would be pointless to wake her up to have her move to her own bed so she just laid her down with a pillow under her head. Lightning then laid down beside her sister and fell asleep.

THE NEXT MORNING

Light pierced through the window and hit the face of the younger Farron sisters which caused her to slowly open her eyes. Serah instantly realized that she had fallen asleep in her sister's bed. Lightning was probably off to work and she had nothing to do today so she laid back down and closed her eyes again only to be instantly startled awake by hearing a loud crash and the voice of her sister yell.

"GOD DAME IT! WHAT THE HELL IS WRONG WITH THIS PIECE OF SHIT!"

Serah instantly jumped out of bed and ran out to the kitchen to see her sister standing there with the stove turned on three pans on the floor along with eggs, sausage, and toast. Serah looked at her sister and the first thing that she noticed was that there was two strips of bacon in her hair and bacon and grease all over the counter.

"OMG Clair what happened and why aren't you at work?"

Lightning sighed and said

"Well I figured that we haven't actually done anything major together for a while now so I um took the day off from work and tried to make breakfast. But apparently making breakfast is one battle I can't win."

Serah giggled and walked over to the counter and picked up a piece of bacon that was laying there and took a bit out of it and said.

"Well this piece taste good."

Serah obviously had a slight mocking and amused tone in her voice as she said this.

"Here, Clair, why don't we clean this up and after that you can go wash that bacon out of your hair and I'll make breakfast."

Lightning agreed and went along with Serah's plan. Before long they were eating breakfast, which Lightning was happy Serah made. They then decided that they would go shopping today at the mall and do minor things here and there together. Most of the shopping was done by Serah but Serah convinced her sister to buy a few things as well. Serah bought a few dresses and a few pairs of shoes and a few minor things as well. Serah somehow convinced Lightning to buy an outfit and a dress along with a necklace. Lightning also bought something in a fairly large box but wouldn't tell her sister what was in it no matter how much she asked. The two were now sitting at a restaurant enjoying some lunch when Serah looked up at her sister and began saying.

"Clair, this isn't like you, why are you suddenly doing all of this? Is it because of last night?"

Lightning leaned back and let out a small lough as she said.
"Maybe, besides I just thought that we haven't done anything together in a long time."

"Clair… anyway what do you have planned for tonight?"

"Nothing."

"Nothing at all?"

"Well… I was invited to go over to Clouds for a party but I'm not going."

"Why not?"

"Because… I'm not leaving you alone after what happened last night."

"Don't worry about me go ahead and have fun. Besides I'm staying at Snow's tonight and if anything happens he can protect me."

Lightning cringed under her skin at hearing this, so out of natural instinct she shot out.

"NO! there's no way that I'm letting you stay there tonight!"

"CLAIR since when have you started deciding what I do and if you will let me or not? I'm a grown women you know and besides he is my fiancé."

Lightning let out annoyed growl like noise as she continued the argument with her sister with.

"That brute couldn't protect anyone. He thinks that he is mister hero but he isn't and besides ever since mom died I have been looking out for you!"

"YES HE CAN! And I'm not a little girl anymore you don't haft to baby me….YOUR NOT MOM!"

Lightning shocked to hear her sister yell that at her was left stunned for a moment as her younger sister violently grabbed her purse and bags and stormed off. Lightning quickly snapped out of it and looked around to see that the entire restaurant was staring at her. Now being a combination of pissed off embarrassed and hurt Lightning quietly pulled a little bit of money out of her wallet and laid it on the table to pay and went to walk out of the restaurant with her bag. As she was walking out of the restaurant she overheard a girl say.

"God dame what a bitch."

Lightning shot the girl a death glare as she said.

"Shut the fuck up bitch."

Lightning continued out of the restaurant until she heard that girl come up behind her and yell.

"Hey lady! Oh no you didn't just call me that or tell me to shut up!"

Lightning turned around to see the women standing there with her hand on her hip and waving her finger at Lightning. Lightning was continuing to get pissed off just bye merely looking at her. Lightning just yelled back and said.

"Yeah I did you bitch now just shut the hell up and leave me alone. Go fuck yourself for all I care besides you called me a bitch first!"

Lightning turned around for a moment and that's when this random girl made probably one of the biggest mistakes in her entire life… She went to slap Lightning. Lightning turned and stopped the girls hand so fast that if you were to blink you would have missed her. The girl stopped in horror for this was actually the first time she got a good look of Lightning's face and that's when she recognized her as none other than the famous soldier first class Lightning Farron. Lightning used her other hand to pull a few loose strands of pink hair out of her face as a half smirk came across her face as she said.

"Big mistake."

And before the girl knew it Lightning had given her a mighty kick the stomach which sent her flying across the room and into a table. The girl was now obviously knocked out and everyone was staring at the two of them. Lightning just brushed of the stares and looked at the girl and sighed as she said.

"Know your place bitch."

Everyone stared in awe as Lightning exited the restaurant. A few hours have passed since the incident at lunch and she is now standing outside of the doors to the new 7th heaven. Tifa had invited her over for a few bears and boy did she plan to drink them. She walked in to see Cloud and Tifa sitting a table with a huge man that's size was comparable to snow with a gun on his arm beside them. She looked around to see a few other people sitting around the room. Tifa quickly stood up and said hello, Lightning returned the greeting. Tifa then started introducing Light to the rest of her friends. She was introduced to a man named barret who was actually Tifa's husband, a man named Cid, a man named Vincent, a young girl named Yuffie, and a red animal named Nanaki and a man named Rude, she instantly recognized Rude from shinra though. She now sat down in a booth beside Cloud and across from her sat Tifa and Barret sat beside her. They each had a drink in her hand and Lightning was already on her third. Lightning picked up the bottle and shoved it to her lips guzzling it down and then slamming it on the table. Barret looked at her wide eyed and said

"Dame Lady you sure know how to throw a few back."

Lightning just smirked a little and looked down at the ground until she heard her name which caused her to look up at Tifa as she said.

"Light, you look upset is something wrong?"

"No, just a rough day that's all."

They stopped their talk suddenly as they saw Vincent appear out of the middle of nowhere as he now stood behind Cloud. The first thing that ran through Lightning's mind was

"Dame how did he sneak up on me like that?"
Vincent had said that he wanted to talk to Cloud alone for a minute so Cloud had fallowed him outside. Lightning sat there and looked at the two people sitting in front of her and she bodly started asking things she would have never asked four beers ago.

"So what's the whole story behind Cloud? And do you to know why Shinra is so interested in a dame delivery boy?"

Tifa smirked as she answered by saying.

"Well Cloud he,… He has known Rufus for a long time and Rufus in the last little while has taken a great interest in Cloud saying that he would be a great help to soldier but Cloud keeps turning them down."

"Why does he do that?"

"Because… Well honestly I don't know for sure but I think it is because of the kids. You see Marlene has always been a little found of Cloud and a few years Cloud found Denzel collapsed on the ground so he brought him here. If Cloud wouldn't have found him Denzel would probably have died and we all know that so ever since then Denzel has kind of looked up to him as his hero, and if he was to join soldier he would be in a lot of danger and he dosnt want to worry us. That's why I think he's settled down a little."

Lightning didn't say anything for a moment as she tried to take in what she just heard and comprehend it being she wasn't one to drink very often and she just topped off her 5th beer so she was feeling really tipsy. She then asked a question that has been bugging her since the day she meet Cloud.

"How strong is Cloud exactly? He has to be pretty strong make Shinra notice him."

Tifa looked down and smirked as she just looked at Lightning and told her the truth.

"Honestly I would haft to say that in my opinion Cloud… Cloud is Probably the strongest person in the world."

"Why would you say that?"

"Because Cloud has always been a complete natural at fighting one point he even became a mercenary, Then when Sephiroth came back the second time Cloud fought him one on one and beat him and we all know that Cloud was the only one who could have done that."

Lightning looked down at the bottom of her bottle as she began to think. Whenever she heard the name Cloud two emotions rushed to her heart. One was anger out of the thought how everyone was Cloud this and Cloud that and how after all her training and time she put into shinra her possession was offered to this delivery boy why? The other was an emotion she hadn't felt for anyone in a long time. The question she had thought was why? Was it the way that he looked deep into her eyes with his deep glowing blue eyes? Was it because of his strength? What was it that caused this emotion to start to rise inside her, but it had just barely started to rise. She didn't know and honestly she didn't want to think about it.

Meanwhile outside.

The sky was dark and gray and in this ally the only light that accompanied the two was the radiant light given off by the stars and the full moon. The air was slightly cooled and a slight breeze would occasionally fly past the two men as they stood there and began to talk. Cloud and Vincent stood there looking at each other as Vincent began to say what he wanted to say.

"Cloud, I have a few connections so I asked them to look around and what I thought was true. Kadaj and his gang their home base is in the same place as before… The forgotten city and its likely that Sephiroth is there as well. I think they chose this place on purpose as a kind of taunt at you."

Cloud looked down at the ground as he thought for a second before he looked up at Vincent and said.

"Vincent, tommarow can you go with me there to try and defeat them?"

"Why not tonight?"

Cloud took a step back as he slowly pierced his gaze in threw the window towards Lightning before he answered by saying.

"Because if we go tonight she will definitely want to come as well and she would be hurt especially in the condition that she is in."

Vincent nodded his head as he replied with.

"Very well I understand."

Cloud and Vincent turned to head back inside but as Cloud's hand touched the door knob he was stopped when Vincent asked him.

"Cloud, when it comes to that girl is what I'm thinking about you true? Deep down?"

Cloud just sighed as he said.

"I…I think so."

When the two walked in Cloud instantly noticed that Lightning had become even more drunk as he looked to see even more beer bottles sitting beside her. Lightning was actually the first to greet them by saying.

"HEY CLOUDY! How was your talk?"

"Lightning how many beers have you had in the last few hours?"

"I don't know Clouddy I stopped counting at like 8 or 9"

Cloud looked over at Tifa who had a grin on her face as she watched Cloud get slightly annoyed. For the rest of the night Lightning was deprived from any and all alcohol and for some reason she always sat close to Cloud and has continued to call him Clouddy. After a few hours their friends decided that they would head to bed and being that they all lived so far away and it was already so late that everyone could stay there tonight especially the ones who are drunk. Lightning was sitting unconscious on a bar stool as Tifa, Cloud, and barret all stood behind her being that they were the only ones up. Tifa then asked Cloud

"Where are we going to let her sleep all the rooms and beds are taken."

Cloud stepped forward and placed one hand on her back and another under her legs and picked her up bridal style as he then said.
"She will sleep in my bed being it's the only bed left."

"But Cloud wouldn't that be inappropriate?"

"We will just sleep, besides there is no other bed that she can sleep in and I do have a queen bed so it's plenty big?"

Tifa just smirked as Cloud carried Lightning up to his room. Once inside his room he laid her down on his bed and wrapped her up in a blanket and put a pillow under her head. He went around to the other side and got in bed and laid down and closed his eyes until he heard a quit sob coming from behind him. He turned to see Lightning with tears starting to form in her eyes. He asked her what was wrong only to be greeted bye a full tear.

"Clouddy, it's just… I don't know. I'm pissed off, I'm hurt and I just don't know what to do."

"What happened?"
Lightning then took the next few minutes telling Cloud about everything that had happed between her and her sister. Cloud sat there looking at her wide eyed for a moment being he had no idea what to say or do. It was unbelievable how much Lightning changed from when she wasn't drunk to when she was. What Lightning asked him next was something he had never expected her to ask.

"Clouddy can you please hold me? It was what my father used to do whenever I was sad."

Cloud looked at her with a blank expression on his face as she slowly inched closer to him. She rolled over to where her back was in front of Cloud. Cloud slowly and cousouly placed his arm over her. Within the hour Lightning was asleep and Cloud was out of the bed, and waiting outside. Cloud was leaning on the side of the building with crossed arms and closed eyes as he stood waiting for him to arrive. Before long Cloud heard quit footsteps approaching him. He looked up to see none other than his friend Vincent. Without exchanging a single word the two knew what each other was thinking by just their facial expressions. The two then left to engage their enemy both were hoping to return swiftly.

THE NEXT MORNING

A small ray of light pierced through the window and just barley brushed over the eyes of the beautiful pink haired soldier. Little footsteps and the sound of young child could be heard from downstairs, but to Lightning the ray of light was like a light ray that could blow up a wall and the footsteps that could be heard from downstairs made her feel like she was at a test sight for shinra's bombs. Lightning slowly opened her eyes and looked around the room to see that she was in some guy's room that she had never been inside before. She had a pounding headache and god was she hung-over. She immediately reached into her pocket and pulled out a pill and swallowed it. The pill she just took was a new invention of shinra that allowed you to get over hang overs incredibly fast so fast that it was normally gone in 20 to 30 minutes. The only reason that they haven't put it on the market yet was because it was expensive to make and they still had a few things to work out legally before they could sell it. Luckily Lightning remembered most of the things that accrued last night and by observation she determined that this was Clouds room so she began to look around before she went downstairs. She walked over to his desk and to her amazement the desk was completely clean and there wasn't a thing on it other than some paper that was neatly stacked into the corner and a pen. She figured that Cloud would be the type of guy who would need to learn how to clean off his desk once in a while. She began to look through the drawers in his desk, in the first drawer she didn't find much and in the second one, however, she found numerous articles and written information about the stigma that was recently cured she wondered why he would have so many of these things. She continued to look threw his drawer until she found an envelope. She decided to take out the envelope and look and see what was inside. When she opened it she found out that it was completely packed with pictures. The first few where of him and Tifa when they were younger, these pictures had a few burn marks on them but where still clearly visible as to what the picture was, then there was some of him and zack when he was in soldier. Then there was a picture with Tifa standing in the middle dressed as a cow girl and on one side was zack and the other Sephiroth. She continued to see group pictures of him and his friends and few pictures of each of the friends that went on the journey with him. The last picture in the entire group of pics was the one given to him by Areis mother, the one of the two of them. Lightning quickly put the pictures back in the envelope and put them away as she began to head downstairs. She walked down the steps to see that everyone was gone and the only people that where there where Tifa and barret. They began talking and Lightning learned that all of their friends went home already and the kids where outside playing.

"So, Tifa where is Cloud?" Lightning asked.

Tifa looked down to the ground out of the corner of her eye as she said.

"He left a note."

Lightning quickly snatched the note out of Tifa's hand and began to read it. The note said that he and Vincent left to go face Sephiroth and that he was very sorry for just leaving like that but he thought it best. Lightning stood there crinkling the note in her fist as she began to yell

"GOD DAME THAT CLOUD IF I EVER SEE HIM AGAIN IM GOING TO…"

Her attention was taken when she heard the door open and to her great surprise it was none other than Cloud who walked in. She immediately stomped over to him with a pissed off look on her face as she looked at him and started to yell.

"WHAT THE HELL WHERE YOU THINKING GOING TO FIGHT SEPHIROTH WITHOUT ME? I THOUGHT WE WHERE A TEAM! WHY DIDN'T YOU TAKE ME WITH YOU!?"

Cloud merely looked down at the ground as he began to explain slowly.

"I…I didn't want anyone to get hurt… not my friends at least. Don't worry though we didn't find Sephiroth the base was empty but… some things happened."

"WHAT THE HELL HAPPENED, CLOUD?"
"There was a village before you got to their base… was a village. Sephiroth destroyed it and left Kadaj there to give me a message. The message was "Ask Cloud if this village now reminded him of his home town… the town I destroyed. And tell him that if he wishes to try and avenge these people we will be waiting for him…at the north cave."

Lightning and everyone else in the room, other than Cloud and Vincent who recently walked into the room and casually leaned against the door frame, was now astonished and stood there in shock, the first person to say anything was Lightning.

"Well what are we waiting for lets go kick his ass!"
Lightning went to walk past Cloud but he grabbed her arm and stoped her as he said.

"Lightning, we can't just go charging in when the opponent is someone like Sephiroth. We should think of a plan and talk to Rufus he might be able to help us by using some of the things at his disposal. If we do just charge in there someone might get hurt…You might get hurt."

Lightning ripped her arm back and glared at Cloud and Cloud could have sworn that he saw a tear starting to form in her eye as she yelled.

"YOU KNOW WHAT CLOUD!? IM TIRED OF YOU! YOUR ALWAYS LETS BE CAREFUL I DON'T WANT YOU TOO GET HURT BY THIS I DON'T WANT YOU TO GET HURT BY THAT! NO YOU CANT FIGHT SEPHIROTH BECOUSE HE'S TO STRONG FOR YOU! BUT YOU CAN JUST WALTS OFF AND GO TRY TO FIGHT HIM BY YOURSELF!? NO YOU CANT! YOUR SO INDECISIVE WHEN YOUR NEEDED YOUR NOT AROUND WHEN YOUR NOT WANTED YOUR ALWAYS RIGHT THERE AND NO MATTER WHAT YOU ALWAYS SEEM TO PISS ME OFF! YOU KNOW WHAT WITH A DELIVERY BOY LIKE YOU AROUND NO WONDER ARIES IS DEAD AND YOU COULDN'T SAVE HER!"

!SMACK! Cloud just stood there paralyzed after hearing what he was just told. The pain he felt being told what he was told about aries hurt him so much he didn't even feel it when Lightning smacked him. Lightning stormed off out of the room and before long Cloud slowly walked out of the room. Just before he got out he stopped and said.

"I'll be back later I need to go clear my head, and before long you could hear is bike blaring down the road.
