Regular disclaimers aply.
Cloud and Tifa spoke for over an hour about Aerith and they got to know each other.
"What have I done!?! I thought I was marrying an angel but I find out I'm marrying a devil.!" Cloud laughed.
"Don't worry, it could always get worse." Tifa giggled.
"True, but honestly, did she really throw that pie at Lady Hornet's daughter?" Cloud asked.
"Yup, just to embarace her and to get Duke Lupin's son to like her instead." Tifa was in a fit of laughter. She could hardly sit straight, so she leaned on Cloud, who, mind you, loved every minute of it for a certain reason(Hint:her boobs were against him :p).
"I better watch out then huh!?!" Cloud wrapt his arm around her waist to keep her steady. I don't think she's ever laughed so much in her life. I can't drain her of her blood. She hasn't enjoyed life to it's fullest yet. Hell, she hasn't enjoyed much of anything, save for her stories. Cloud thought as he felt Tifa grow tired. "Your getting tired, lets find the baroness." Cloud offered.
"Yes Cloud, but in a few minutes, I'm so tired I can hardly move. I've never laughed so hard in my life, and I want this moment to last forever." Tifa mummbled with exaustion.
"Alright." Cloud whispered into her ear. I've never felt this way before. I've never been nice to anyone in my whole life, yet as soon as I see her I melt, and I'm left feeling like I'm needed, like I'm suppose to protect her. I feel so warm, when I'm used to being so cold, and I don't want to lose this feeling. Cloud thought as he placed his chin on her head and began to purr as he hummed a song that he's never heard, yet he knew every word.
"My Prince!" Aerith called from around the corner, a good ways down.
"Great! Tifa, it's time to wake up, Aerith is coming." Cloud stated silently as he shook her awake slightly.
"Yes?" Tifa sat straight and rubbed her eyes till she was fully awake. "Was I asleep long?" Tifa asked kindly.
"Only a few minutes." They both seperated to the edges of the bench just as Aerith, Buyo, and the Baroness arived.
"Tifa! Where have you been, you stupid girl!" the baroness hissed venomously.
"She's been keeping me company while my bride to be was away." Cloud informed protectively.
"Is that so my prince, I'll deal with you later Tifa. Till then, go home and get Aerith and your things packed and bring them back to the castle. You will be the first to leave with Aeith tonight. Buyo and I shall arive in the morning." The Baroness barked.
"Yes stepmother, is there anything else stepmother?" Tifa asked, standing up imediately and bowing.
"Yes, get our breakfast set for the morning."
"Yes stepmother. Farewell my prince, Stepmother, stepsisters, see you soon." Tifa then rose from her bow and ran off to do what she was told.
"I apologize about that one if she caused any trouble." The Baroness gave a quick curtsie.
"She was very well behaved, but I must say she is a strange one." Cloud stated If this is how they treat her now I hate to see how they treat her at home. Cloud's mind slightly growled.
"My prince it may not be my place to say, but, aren't we at a level where formalities should be dropped my prince?" Aerith questioned.
"Yes, I asume so. Tell me, Aerith, you say Tifa is a disobedient animal, when what I see is an angel." Cloud inquired suspitiously.
"She must be trying to impess you. In the past, she's never shown any intrest in men, but you. You are ultimate perfection at it's glory. She must be infatuated with you, I don't blame her though." Aerith smiled.
"Your flattery will get you far in my kingdom." Cloud complimented Liar. "Shall I escort you to 'our' room?"
"Of course m'love." Aerith cooed.
"Then shall we, Baroness, Lady Buyo, I bid you good night." Cloud clasped Aerith's hand in his and led her to his suite in the castle.
Over two hours past before Tifa arived to the castle. She dragged all Aerith's luggage toward Cloud's suite. The luggage contained of two very big trunks one small trunk and a duffle bag (Your on your own doll face!0.o). "Heavy, very heavy." Tifa murmurred under her breath.
Cloud walked out of his room to find out what that dragging sound was only to see Tifa dragging a tower of luggage. "You need a hand!?!" Cloud called to her.
"That'll be nice!" she replied, breathing heavily.
Cloud nearly sprinted to Tifa's side and grabbed the handle. "What's in these things?!?" Cloud was shocked, he thought girls only had one trunk to travel with. He didn't think about how much they would bring if they moved in.
"Oh! Hello my prince, this is just some of Aerith's clothing." Tifa replied as they dragged together but much, much faster.
"Some!?! How much clothing can one girl need!??!" Cloud stuttered.
"When I asked, I was told that if a girl were to stay beautiful, she must have a large variety of clothes and makeup to keep the suiters guessing." Tifa explained as she took a break on the ground.
"Is that so, then how much clothing do you have?" Cloud scanned her over.
Tifa wore a hand-me-down gown of black and grey, with a few pached areas that were ripped. It was hardly suitable for winter. The grey skirt fell to the middle of her calves. On her feet were old black velvet slippers. She wore a black bodice that showed signs of ripping at the breasts. Her sleeves were torn and in need of repair, revealing her arms in more than one area. Her hair was still down, but covered in snow. Her skin had a blue hue to it and signs of a cold were becoming evident. All she had to keep warm was a small black cape.
"This, the dress I wore to the ball, and three more dresses like this but ones blue, ones red, the other one is pink. Why do you ask my prince?" Tifa stated casually.
"Just call me Cloud when nobody's around. But it looks like your getting a cold, don't you have anything warmer?" Cloud was at a point of growling. What are they trying to do, kill- oh, wait, they are. Cloud's mind shouted.
"This is all I have. but I'll be alright, cold's never stop me." Tifa smiled at Cloud sweetly.
"Okay, c'mon there is mor luggage to get and I don't want to get you into trouble again."
"Alright Cloud." The walked side by side to the carage and got the last few, medium sized trunks of Aerith's and Tifa's medium sized trunk.
"You know, your pretty strong if you could drag all that luggage without hardly any help." Cloud complimented
"Not really." Tifa blushed
"Don't be modest, you should take pride in your strength."
"Okay, maybe alittle. Do I just put the rest of Aerith's things here."
"So that door, behind it is an empty room, everything will be put there, and it will stay there." Cloud said taking a deep breath. "And since you won't be needed, your room will be in the tower, and in the morning I'll come get you for breakfast so we can eat, then I'll show you around. Follow me." Cloud led her down many corridors and up the highest tower to her room. "It's not much, but it'll do for now and you won't be cold."
"It's beautiful. Thank you Cloud, thank you so much."
The room was quite big. With a king sized bed set against the wall to the right of the door. The sheets and quilt were a pearly white and the pillows were encased in sky blue covers. A canope hung over it of a shiny baby blue. A giant balcony was there with white and blue drapes over the entrance and over the window to the left of the door. A large mirror stood next to the door with a white night gown and trancparent blue robe hang off it. The mirror was bordered by silver and angel wings folded at its sides. A carpet of white fur covered the ground and a blue european rug was under her bed. The trunk was placed at the foot of the bed. A candeleir hang frome the ceiling that was painted like the clear night sky.
"Sleep well, good night Tifa." Cloud purred
"Good night Cloud, I hope you sleep well." Tifa smiled at him as she walked to the mirror to get the night gown.
"If you need anything just ring the crystal bell on the nightstand." Cloud closed the door behind him and jogged back to his room where Aerith waited.
Tifa put on the nightgown and crawled into bed and fell asleep, dreaming happily. Not knowing what was outside on that very balcony.
Ravenous growls could be heard as something pawed at the door to the balcony. Desperate to come in, it banged on the door. Whimpers could be heard as what sounded like a bark was made.
Startled, Tifa ran to the balcony door and opened it. A young fairy girl, a little younger then her, beaten and brused with a broken wing. Her short, raven black hair in a ruffle, and her hazel eyes pleading for help. Behind her though was a creature Tifa new all to well.
A giant creature stood before her. Made of shadow it asumed the shape of a wolf. Eight red eyes full of malice growled at Tifa hungrily. Bloodstained fangs as long as fingers and as sharp as daggers jutted out of its mouth. Venomous saliva oozed from its mouth and melting the ground beneath its deadly paws. With claws dipped in poison and glowing an eerie green. It eyed Tifa then launched forward claws ready to peirce her flesh.
Tifa held out her hand and screamed. Her necklace glowed with emence power that spread around her and exploded out of her outstreched hand forming a beam of light, hitting the creature of darkness and proppelling it away.
The creature let out a loud howl as it sailed threw the sky and into the dark forest behind the castle.
Hearing the comotion several of the servants rushed in, as did Cloud.
"What happened!?!" Cloud demanded an explaination.
"I'm still being hunted." Tifa said calmly, lifting the fairy into her arms.
"Are you okay? Tifa?"
"Yes, for now atleast, are you? What's your name?" Tifa asked the fairy in her arms.
"Yuffie." the fairy stuttered, shaking violently.
"Tifa, let's take Yuffie to get cleaned up." Cloud ordered. "Back to bed everyone, I'll take care of things here, you all get some sleep. Vincent, I need you to double the guard, whatever that thing is, it's coming back, and be careful." Cloud instructed.
Vincent was another vampire and Cloud's best friend. He was as tall as Cloud with long ebony hair that fell to the center of his back. His skin was as pale as snow, and his tone body was clad in black save for his red cape. His blood colored eyes scanned the room for anymore signs of danger than he left to do his bidding.
Cloud got some bandages and some hot water and he and Tifa tended to Yuffies wounds.
"Tifa, please tell me, what happened?"
"I don't know, I really don't know."
"It's okay Tifa, Yuffie do you know?"
"Uh huh, Holy's Bride blasted that creature of darkness away." she was still terrofied as she allowed her wounds to be bandaged.
"Did you say...Holy's Bride?" Cloud was shocked. Holy's bride was only a legend, one that he knew well, but to find out that she exists and that she is Tifa is like a fairytale come true. Then that means that her necklace really is Holy. But if Holy exists then so does... The Black Materia. If this is true then we could all be in danger untill it's found. Cloud realised. "Yuffie would it be alright if you sleeped in Tifa's room untill tomorow?" Cloud asked.
"Yes your majesty." Yuffie yawned she began to shrink to a point to where she could sit on your hand. She then let Tifa cary her to the nightstand and place her in the jewelry box. "Thank you Holy's Bride. Night-night." Yuffie was out cold as soon as her head hit the cushoning.
Tifa then got up and ripped of a peice of her old dress and covered Yuffie.
"Cloud what's 'Holy's Bride' mean?"
"It means that Holy has married your soul and now is a part of you. You see around your neck is the gem embodied Holy, and when it turns back to a pearl, Holy has completely merged with your soul, so till then you can never take it off and Holy won't let anyone else take it unless its the Black Materia. I'll tell you the legend sometime, but know you should go to sleep. Good night." Cloud made sure Tifa was tucked in and asleep before he closed the door and walked back to his room. I better explain this to my parents in the morning. Great.
Cloud and Tifa spoke for over an hour about Aerith and they got to know each other.
"What have I done!?! I thought I was marrying an angel but I find out I'm marrying a devil.!" Cloud laughed.
"Don't worry, it could always get worse." Tifa giggled.
"True, but honestly, did she really throw that pie at Lady Hornet's daughter?" Cloud asked.
"Yup, just to embarace her and to get Duke Lupin's son to like her instead." Tifa was in a fit of laughter. She could hardly sit straight, so she leaned on Cloud, who, mind you, loved every minute of it for a certain reason(Hint:her boobs were against him :p).
"I better watch out then huh!?!" Cloud wrapt his arm around her waist to keep her steady. I don't think she's ever laughed so much in her life. I can't drain her of her blood. She hasn't enjoyed life to it's fullest yet. Hell, she hasn't enjoyed much of anything, save for her stories. Cloud thought as he felt Tifa grow tired. "Your getting tired, lets find the baroness."

I feel so warm, when I'm used to being so cold, and I don't want to lose this feeling. Cloud thought as he placed his chin on her head and began to purr as he hummed a song that he's never heard, yet he knew every word.

"Yes, I asume so. Tell me, Aerith, you say Tifa is a disobedient animal, when what I see is an angel." Cloud inquired suspitiously.
"She must be trying to impess you. In the past, she's never shown any intrest in men, but you. You are ultimate perfection at it's glory. She must be infatuated with you, I don't blame her though." Aerith smiled.
"Your flattery will get you far in my kingdom." Cloud complimented Liar. "Shall I escort you to 'our' room?"
