A/N: 2nd chappie!

LadyTeefStrife: "Okay, I've added this chap because I think it helps to understand better the story, just like 'Chain of Memories'.

Koudelka: "So, like 'Chain of Memories' no one needs to read this to understand the story."

LadyTeefStrife: "Well, I'm not forcing anyone. But it helps to understand it better."

Koudelka: *goes away* "Call me again when the chap 3 starts."

Leon: "That girl is a little cold..."

LadyTeefStrife: "A little?-"

Zack: "-Look who's talking!"

Cloud: "Zack, don't start again..."

Tifa: "Hi Leon!"

Leon: "RINOA!"

Cloud/Zack/Tifa: "WTF!?"

LadyTeefStrife: *sigh* "Disclaimer: I don't own anything. Teef, from now on you're not allowed to wear blue..."


Chapter 2 - Title: Tifa

__

Cloud is gone again.

But this time, I'm with him.

I gave him my heart and now I'm only in his memories, but it's okay, because I'm with him and he'll be with me.

He's so lost... Sephiroth is getting into him. I can sense his darkness, I know I have to do something but everywhere I look, the only thing I see is nothingness. Black, grey or white, but nothing more. So this is Cloud's heart?

"You can have my light!"

I heard my own voice. It seems that at least I can talk.

__

How much time has past since I'm being here? Sephiroth's darkness it's trying to get out of Cloud, but I'm fighting him. Every single 'day?' I try to talk to Cloud, making his heart stay in balance. But I know someday Sephiroth will win against me and he'll get away, after all I can't even touch him. The only thing I can do from here is make Cloud understand.

__

Cloud, I'm sorry.

"That woman was stupid." Yes, maybe I was. But the only way to save Cloud from you was give him my 'light'.

"She gave you her light?" Not only that. "You fools! you don't understand anything!" Huh? Fools? There are more people with Cloud? Then... He has returned.

__

"Are you okay Cloud? Can you hear me?" I try to talk to him. Sephiroth is coming back inside.

"... Voice." Cloud's voice... I smile. It's been awhile since the last time I felt so relived.

"Cloud, I love you." I hope he can hear me.

__

I feel his own feelings, his fear. I think he finally understood.

To get rid of the darkness you have to get rid of the light too, because one can't exist without the other. I feel him. This time the nothingness is white.

"Can you hear me, Cloud?"

"...Tifa?" I can hear him better now.

"... Cloud? Can you hear me?"

"Tifa? ... I can." The nothingness turned grey. I feel his darkness.

"Cloud, it's okay." I need to calm him down or Sephiroth will use him again, and he needs to fight his own darkness. "Cloud, it's okay. It's the only way." I can't hold on much more, Sephiroth is too strong for me alone.

"I won't! Tifa! I- I can't do it!" Can't do it? You've done it three times already.

"Cloud, you can do it. It's okay. I love you. Always." Cloud's presence is vanishing. I only hope he can find the strength to reach for the light again.

___

I feel Cloud again. "Cloud, it's the only way."

"I won't kill you Tifa, I love you."

Kill me? Sephiroth must be talking to him too. "I know, Cloud."

"No!"

"Cloud? You have to fight him, not fisically, but mentally."

"What?" He sounds very confused.

"Cloud, you have to fight the darkness. You have my light."

"But everyone told me to kill you..." Everyone? Ret rid of the light to get rid of the darkness... They didn't get it...

"Remember? The darkness will still be there, but in a place were he can't reach it. No matters if you get rid of him or not." No matters if you kill me or not, he can survive thanks to your own light.

"Then, he will be with me always?"

"The same as I. You have light too. The difference is in the balance. That's why you have to fight him." Because everyone has light and darkness inside their hearts, you need to fight the darkness so he can't rule over your own heart.

"You won't die?"

Cloud... "I already am."

"What?"

"I don't have a heart or a body. I'm only in your memories, Cloud."

"No..."

"Cloud, I gave you my heart and light, my whole soul. I'll be with you always."

"I won't forget you Teef."

"I know. Cloud, you have to get rid of the darkness." His darkness.

"How?"

How...? I'm Cloud's light because of the love we have in common, what is the thing that they have in common? "Forgive him."

"What? I- I can't."

"Then you are just like him."

"What?"A pause, and then "No!"

"Yes. Cloud you are living for vengeance, just like him."

"How can I forgive him!?"

"Cloud, I know it's hard. You have to forgive and forget." It's the only way.

"Forget?"

"Riku, you can do it?" Sora? why can I hear him?

"Are you sure about this? He'll be a heartless-"

"-I know the theory." Are they talking about Cloud? "Just do it, she won't let him be swallowed by the darkness."

"How you can be so sure? She's inside him, when we set her free she'll disappear and go back to her world and they'll be apart again. Not to mention he'll be a heart-"

"-He won't." A long pause, and then: "I've been trough that once, I know it's possible to survive it, and he won't accept any other solution. Even if they are apart, it's better than be 'dead', don't you think?" Heartless? They are going to get my heart out of him somehow? Cloud...

I felt a strange pull like a strong wind pushing me away. "I'll protect you this time." And then I was seeing him in the floor, Sora and a silver-haired boy were at Cloud's side. The silver-haired was holding a strange keyblade, and then Cloud's body started to turn black.

"No!" I screamed. It can't end like this! "Cloud!" And he started to shine.

__

I hear them.

"...Tifa!"

They are searching me.

"Tifa!"

I need darkness.

"Teef!" I smile.

Because light can't exist without darkness.


A/N: End of chap 2! (My first attempt at first person pov)

Tifa: "A whole chapter just for me?"

LadyTeefStrife: "Well, you are my favourite female character, after all."

Koudelka: *glare* "Oh, I suppose I should leave, then."

LadyTeefStrife: *shrug* "Do what you want, I don't care. Tifa is my favourite female character, you are the second or the third."

Tifa: "Koudelka, it's okay, LadyTeefStrife is just joking..."

LadyTeefStrife: "No I'm not. Besides, Kou, you were supposed to be away until chap 3..."

Koudelka: "You want me to go away again?"

LadyTeefStrife: "I told you before, do what you want."

Koudelka: "Disclaimer: LadyTeefStrife don't own anything. I'm glad I'm not your favourite character."

LadyTeefStrife: "And why is that?"

Koudelka: "Because you kill and hurt your favourite characters."

Zack: "That's not true! I haven't been killed or hurt!"

Cloud: "...R&R."

Leon: "...Thanks for reading."

cloti is happiness!!
