Memories chapter 3!

The pink haired soldier sat there in shock because she just couldn't believe it the first person she had ever learned to care about in any way whatsoever since zack died actually loved her back! She sat there with her head on his shoulder looking up to him trying to find the words to say but she just couldn't manage to say all the words she wanted. The only thing she did get to come out of all the things she wanted to say was.

"I love you to."

Cloud smiled as he lowered his head down to hers and began to kiss her as passionately as he could. Light returned the kiss until they stopped for air. Cloud then put his head on hers and began to rub her back.

"Hey Cloud does this mean we are officially well you know together?"

"Well if it's ok with you I would say so."

"Well if wear together I think we should learn more about each other. Like what do you think about having kids?"

"Well I don't mind and honestly I already take care of one but he's not mine though. (Light had a look on her face that said as clear as day telling him to go on.) His name is Denzil he's an orphan who lost his parents a few years ago so I took him to my place and he's lived there ever since. That's actually why I'm in soldier."

"How old is he?"

"He's 6"

The two then continued talking for a few hours about everything and everything they could think of until they realized the time and that Serah had been asleep for quite a while now. So Cloud got up and headed home as light began to go to her bed but was stopped when cloud called her name.

"Um I was wondering if you wanted to come with me tomorrow to a reunion with all my friends."

Light smiled in a way that she only smiled for him and her sister and said.

"Sure I would love to go."

"Ok ill pick you up around 7 then."

They both nodded and said there goodbyes as cloud left the house and light went to her room. Light traveled down the hallway trying not to make a lot of noise for she had to pass her guest room which her sister was sleeping in and she didn't want to wake her up.

"Up late aren't we now?"

Light stopped at hearing her sisters voice and turned around and peeked into the open door to see her sister lying there on her stomach with her head in her arms looking at her with a smile on her face.

"Serah, I thought you wear asleep."

Light then walked in and sat on the bed beside her sister planning on spending a few minutes with her before bed.

"Who could sleep with you two out their making out and talking so loud?"

"You heard us?"

"Every word."

Lightning seemed to have sunk in her seat hearing that as she wished to herself that they had talked quieter.

"Well any way Clair I hope you and your boyfriend have fun tomorrow."

Light said thanks and gave her sis a hug and went to her room and quickly fell asleep which was quite surprising do to everything that happened today.

The next morning.

Light woke up and it was a bright morning for the sun was shining through her window giving the room plenty of light. She could already tell her sister was up for every time she stayed over or any time light went to her house she would always get up early and make a huge breakfast that always tasted delicious which she could already smell. One thing that was obvious between the two sisters was that Light was by far the stronger of the two were as Serah was better at things like cooking and cleaning. Light was actually so bad at cooking that you would have better luck getting a good tasting meal out of reno or even barret and we can all imagine how likely that is. So light got up and got dressed in a pink shirt and a pair of shorts and went down stairs to have a great breakfast. When she got down stairs she was greeted by her sister with a smile and a table full of food for the two. For the rest of the day the two girls sat around and did their favorite thing… be lazy. After spending the day on the couch light got up and got ready to go with cloud tonight. After getting a shower she couldn't decide if she wanted to wear a dress or not so after about 30 minutes of debating she put on a pair of shorts that exposed most of her toned thighs and a shirt that hung really lose to wear it was kind like a dress that came down to the top of her shorts. She came down stairs and realized she had perfect timing for right as she got down she heard a knock at her door. She ran over to the door and straightened out her dress and shook away the nervous fillings and opened the door and said hello. Her eyes wear closed as she expected to hear wow you look beautiful or something like that but instead she heard.

"Hey one large ham and chess pizza and your total will be $10.92 plus tip."

She opened her eyes to see a teenage pizza boy standing there with a large pizza being ready to be paid. She turned her head to her sister who was sitting on the couch laughing her ass off knowing that she was expecting Cloud. She then paid the man and took the pizza in a slammed it down on the coffee table in front of Serah and said.

"THAT WAS NOT FUNNY!"

"Your right sis it was pretty dame hilarious!"

At that moment the doorbell rang again and but this time light looked out the window to make sure it was her date. To her great joy she saw Cloud standing there with a rose in his hand waiting for her to answer the door. So she quickly ran to the door and opened it and this time she got the reply she was hoping for last time and let me tell you it wasn't your total is 10.92.

"Wow um light you look beautiful tonight!"

Light slightly blushed at the compliment and said thank you.

"Um hear this rose is for you."

"For me thank you!"

Cloud then handed her the rose and she reached up and kissed him on the cheek. The two soldiers then walked down to his motorcycle and got on but before they left cloud asked.

"Hey you keeping an eye out for someone?"

The girl then worried that she had been caught looking through the window to make sure that it was him and not some other loser delivering something that her sister ordered.

"Oh don't worry about it its nothing really."

Cloud just nodded his head and started up the bike and began to drive to the seventh haven wear all his friends would soon be gathered at. They did this every year and normally cloud and Vincent were the only two not looking forward to it but this time deep down cloud actually was! This time he actually was almost somewhat sociable he had a hot girlfriend to show off and he didn't haft to work which every other year he had to so what's not to look forward to? After about 30 min of driving they pulled into Tifas bar were all the other guest were. They walked in to everyone looking at cloud and saying HEY CLOUD or HEY SPICKY. Cloud told everyone hi and went and sat down at a table with barret and light and began to talk to barret. One thing cloud was already enjoying was that normally cid and barret would like to make fun of cloud for they both had wife's ,being berret married tifa last year, and that he didn't have a girlfriend. With lightning there though they couldn't say that matter of fact cid was actually a little jealous. One person in particular caught lightning's eye though was none other than Vincent Valentine the new director of the turks.

"Wow cloud you didn't tell me you knew Vincent valentine!"
Cloud and barret both let out a grin and a slight laugh but they all turned their heads when they heard a little boy yell "DADDY!"

They then saw a little boy around six years old run up to cloud and gave him a big hug.

"So is this Denzil?"
"Yeah. Denzil this is lightning say hi."

The little boy then smiled and told her hi. The party was going great for about 2 and half hours until Vincent and Cloud both got a phone call. The call was from president shinra himself. He said that they found sephirothe and they needed to kick his ass! So everyone told them their goodbyes as they left. Lightning having no ride decided to stay until Cloud came back. She looked over and saw tifa standing there so she decided to go over and talk to her being she really didn't know anyone else there. The two women then sat down and began talking until a huge blade beam came crashing through the house. Everyone jumped up and looked at the huge whole in the whole and the floor then outside wear they all saw the man that deep down without the help of Cloud or Vincent they had no chance of beating it was none other than SEPHIROTHE! Tifa then rushed denzil to a safe place while everyone else prepared them self for battle. Light looked at barret who said

"Fuck wear all strong but without cloud or vinc wear fucked!"

"Don't worry we can do it without them!"

Barret just shook his head and said as if which just pissed lightning off. (Again I say lightning be mad nooooo lol) A girl named yuffie took the first initiative and threw her ninja star which to Lights great surprise sephiroth didn't block it or dodged it but without even looking up he COUGHT IT WITH JUST TWO FINGERS!

"Foolish people without cloud or Vincent you are nothing to me!"

Terror struck the hearts of many for they knew what sephirothe said was true. Cid then dashed forward and went to hit sephiroth with his spear wear as yuffie took the back side and went to throw more ninja stars. Sephirothe with his huge blade stepped back and blocked cids attack from above and countered with a deadly attack from the side sending him flying. He then turned to the brave yuffie and jumped up really high therefor dodging her stars and came down using a wired attack called octaslash which ended up hitting yuffie leaving her behind with plenty of scratches in her body while she laid there unconscious. Now the only ones left were Barret and Lightning being red 13 and reave went home. Barret ran out yelling "TAKE THIS ASSWHOLE!" he then raised his gun arm to sephirothe and did a limit break causing a bunch of bombs to appear which left a cloud of smoke after going off. Lightning closed her eyes do to all the smoke when she opened them she saw barret laying on the ground unconscious with sephiroth standing over top of him.

"Barret NOOO!"

"Don't worry about him silly girl you will soon join him. Besides who are you? You must be Clouds new girlfriend. Lightning was it?"

"HOW IN THE HELL DO YOU KNOW?"

"Let's just say I keep an eye on my enemy. Don't worry ill defeat you slowly unlike the others."

"Trust me I won't be as easy as the others!"

She then dashed forward with a sideways attack which Sephirothe easily blocked. Their swords still connected lightning reached up and kicked him on the side causing him to take a step back and when he did he was knocked down by lights blade with an overhead strike lightning then did a backflip to put some distance in-between the two. Sephiroth then got up and looked at her and started laughing hysterically.

"WHATS SO FUNNY!"

"I'm just impressed that you were actually able to hit me. That's pretty good you know especially for a girl."

Lightning was now very mad at him for she hated sexist. She then dashed forward to attack him but her attack was cut short for he dashed forward and hit her with a uppercut which sent her flying into the air. While midair he dashed to wear he was now over top of her and he then used his sinential attack which caused her to come crashing down hard and knock out. Light looked up and to her great joy saw the one person she knew who could help …CLOUD!

Cloud got of his motorcycle and looked around to see a destroyed bar and all his friends hurt and lying on the ground then up to the Couse of it all.

"Sephirothe what do you want with us?"

"That is none of your concern."

"Then in that case."

"Then in that case what cloud are you going to do like last time and let your friend die!"

Cloud looked down to the side as a sad look came over him as he dropped his huge sword and fell to the ground. Sephirothe then turned around and began to fly away with his wing but before he left he said "I'll be waiting Cloud come find me at the north crater when you're ready."

Tifa then came out of hiding with Denzil and started making sure everyone was all right. By the end of the day everyone was awake and fine but with some marks that would heel in a bit of time. Cloud, however, just stood there facing out the window all day without saying a single word. Finally around 10 pm everyone started to worry about him so light came from behind him and gave him a hug and asked if he was alight. He then turned around to everyone and began to speak.

"Everyone its time you know the truth about what Sephiroth said about last time. The last time we meat was when me and zack went to go face him and do to an accident I was mako poisoned. After I was poisoned that's when we found him. Zack knew I couldn't fight but instead of running and saving himself he fought all alone knowing the probable outcome to protect me and if I would have been able to do something Zack would probably still be hear. Therefore it's my fault zacks dead!... Now I'm finally going to listen to something barret said which was that if a man can't protect his family he aint worth nothing and I can't protect the people I hold close to me and you all deserve better than nothing so goodbye I'm leaving."

Everyone stood in shock as cloud turned around after his confession and began to walk away. Lightning once again in her life felt as if a dagger was stabbed through her heart. Tears of great sorrow began to fall from her face and from a few people around. Even with the protest of all his friends Cloud continued to walk for the one voice most likely to bring him back was none other than lightning who now couldn't manage to say anything as she stood there watching her love leave. Cloud then began traveling on his motorcycle to one spot in particular wear he hasn't been able to bring himself to visit for 6 years. He now stood on the outskirts of Midgar on a cliff but not just any cliff this was the cliff wear zack passed on. He stood there looking out towards midgar while leaning on his sword which he stuck in the ground. As he was standing there he heard a person start to walk up from behind him. He turned to see a girl with a black cloak cover her back and one arm. Cloud couldn't see her eyes for she had long red hair which covered her eyes being she always looked down. She came up and stood beside cloud and said "You really shouldn't look so down."

"Hmph you don't know anything about me and you shouldn't say things right away without knowing my reason for being sad."

"Quit the contrary Cloud. I know everything about you."

Cloud was taken back for he wondered who this girl was. He just meat her and she already knew his name and possibly much more.

"How do you know me?" cloud asked the girl now standing beside him.

"You probably don't remember being you had mako poison but you and zack came to visit me before he died. He told me to tell you something. He said to tell you that no matter what never disrespect your honor as soldier. Hear he also said to give you this."

The girl then took of the cloak and handed it to him as she went to walk away. Cloud took the cloak and started to remember zack saying "Always protect your honor as soldier." And with this he seat off for possibly the final battle of his journey being he now realized what zack truly meant by that and he had to try and protect the people he loved even if it caused him his life.

Meanwhile at the north crater summit.

It was snowing the wind was blowing and the clouds wear gray but a man stood at the top looking down to the pink haired soldier who followed him there.

"Tell me girl why do you follow me?"

"I told you! I'm going to kick your ass!"
And with that she dashed forward and drew her blade from her holster and attacked with a sideways slash which sephirothe effortlessly blocked. She took a step back and used her blitzs attack but again she missed sephirothe for he jumped into the air and came down hitting her with his sword. The attack sent lightning to the ground with sephiroth standing over her.

"Foolish girl you honestly thought you could beat me when you couldn't even beat some robbers?"

"Wait how do you know about that?"

"Its simple I sent them."

"Why?"

"Because I planned to destroy Cloud first emotionally then physically I thought that if you died he would be crushed which would leave him in a living hell and that's when I would kill him. So to make sure that this went according to plan I put some of mothers cells in them and sent them to kill you."

Lightning then thought to herself that was why she had so much trouble defeating them. Sephiroth them raised his sword and was about to pierce her through the heart and ordinarily she would wait for prince charming to come save her. Today was different though she couldn't give up so she tried her best to dodge his attack. Her efforts resulted in him cutting through her right shoulder instead of her heart. This saved her life but on the down side with her shoulder like that she couldn't fight with her sword and she wasn't worth crap with her hands and feet. Sephiroth then back up while she struggled to get on her feet. She tried punching him a few times but all efforts wear useless even when he let her hit him her punches had no effect. Sephiroth hit her again sending her to the ground. She tried to get back up for she was determined that she was not going to need help from someone again but try as she may she couldn't even stand. Sephiroth reached down and picked her up and walked over to the edge of the cliff and held her out to the side. Lightning looked down and realized that if he let go she would definitely die.

"Hmph this is where we say goodbye."

And with that he let go and lightning began to fall. Sephiroth stood watching her fall but to his surprise she did not fall to the bottom of the mountain for a man in a black cloak jumped by catching her and landing on a large ledge. The man was none other than Cloud Strife!

"Cloud your back!"

"Yes light. I left and that was my sin and now I'm going to atone for it and protect my honor as soldier."

Cloud then jumped up with her in his hands to wear he was now standing on the summit as well. He walked over and sat her up against a rock. Cloud then reached up and pulled her hair out of her face and kissed her forehead. Cloud turned around and went to face his battle but when he turned around he heard lightning say

"Cloud I wasn't able to say goodbye to one person I was close to don't make it a second."

"I won't that's a promise."

And with that cloud walked over to wear he was now standing wear sephiroth was. Both men drew their swords and dashed forward to attack there enemy their swords ended in a cash as they then drew back and attacked again. The results were the same over and over again. They both went in for another slash but when their swords hit sephiroth leaned down and kicked cloud in the leg which ended up knocking him down. Cloud looked up to see sephirothe trying to stab him so he dodged to his right. Sephirothe continued to stab at him over and over but cloud just kept dodging. Finally cloud saw his chance and punched sephiroth in the knee which made him fall over. Cloud then jumped into the air and spun his sword around his head and launched a gigantic blade beam towards sephiroth. The attack was futile for sephiroth blocked it with octoslash ,but the crater that was left from the attack however, left lightning in awe for it was approximately 4ft wide and 20ft long! Both fighters stood on the summit which ordinarily would freeze them but right now but they wear sweating and panting as if it was 100 out. Both stood ready and waiting for the other to make a move for they both knew that if either made one wrong move the other would capitalize on it and they would be over. Sephiroth did what cloud feared most he started to prepare his ultimate attack SUPER NOVA! Cloud knew that an attack of that level would probably kill not only him but lightning as well and that he was not going to allow! His only chance was to kill him before his attack was released and the only attack that could do that was none other than the move his mentor pasted on OMINISLASH So cloud swung his sword over his head as it grew the crimson color that it did only when that attack was done Lightning watched in awe as the attack which she hasn't seen in years was being done right in front of her eyes. Cloud then made the incredible dash that was done for the initial part of the attack and with that he slashed many times and after the attack cloud took a step back as he watched sephiroth fall to the ground.

"It's over sephiroth."

"Cloud I will never be a memory and I will return."

"Who cares history always repeats itself so no matter how many times you come back we will always defeat you!"

And with that Sephiroth disappeared. Cloud then walked over to wear lightning was. He saw that she was knocked out so he picked her up and started heading back to the one place he knew he belonged…home. It didn't take very long before they wear home and lightning was awake once again. Now everyone was going to sleep. Lightning was once again staying over due to everything. Cloud and light wear now in his bed looking each other deep in the eye.

"Hey light do you want to start wear we left off?"

"I thought you would never ask."

And with that they wear soon naked and into a deep passionate kiss. Cloud reached up and started playing with her left tit for a minute until light bent down and started to give cloud oral. She stopped right before he came then leaned back on the bed and spreaded her legs. Cloud got ready to enter her but stopped when he heard her say.

"Oh fuck me cloud take my virginity."

"You're a virgin!"

"Well kinda I am officially but I've done everything else even lesbian. I wanted to save that for someone special like you."

"Well then I'm honored."

And with that he slowly entered her after a few minutes the pain passed and they both started going in rhythm with each other. After 20 min they couldn't hold it any longer and they both came. Cloud laid down beside his love and said to her.

"I love you."

"I love you to cloud."

They both then lied there and fell asleep.

10 years later.

It was a bright morning as the married couple laid in bed until they heard a young buy run into their room yelling

"MOMMY DADDY BIG BROTHERS BACK FROM SOLDIER COME LOOK!" the parents woke up and looked at the boy who was very happy as he ran out of the room. It has been 10 years since the fight with sephiroth and cloud and lightning have become married. They soon after that officially adopted densil and a few years after that had a son of their own which they named Con Strife. Today was the first time denzil has visited home since becoming like his parents a soldier first class. For the rest of that day they all had fun and enjoyed themselves but at dinner they wear all siting at the table when Cloud looked over at Denzil and said.

"Denzil come with me I have something I need to show you."

The two then went outside and to clouds personal training ground.

"Denzil Every day from now on I am going to train you."

Denzil eagerly accepted the training. And after one week he had mastered the training. As they now stood there early in the morning.

"Denzil I'm proud of you. You have mastered my ultimate attack ominislash. Now please take this as well. My dreams my honor their yours now."

And with that cloud handed denzil the blade that his mentor passed on to him.

"Thank you dad I won't let you down!"

"I know you wont."

Dezil then said his good byes and headed back to shinra headquarters. Con was still asleep which left cloud and lightning sitting there at the table. After sitting down lightning said

"Are you sure that you were ready to pass on the sword which you cherished for so long?"

"Yes its time a new era of dreams start. Light I need to go on a trip I need to go talk to someone."

"OK but as long as you promise to come back."

"Promise!"

Cloud then got on his motorcycle and headed for a city he hasn't been to in a long time. It was the city of Congaga. Cloud walked straight to the household of the family whose last name is Fair. He knocked on the door and the same women who gave him his cloak came out and asked if she could help him. Cloud then said

"I remember now who you are I'm sorry it's taken me this long to come here. So thank you."
"Hear this is for you it's from Zack to you and lightning."

The girl then gave him a letter which he took and then headed back to his home in midgar. When he got there him and lightning stood there and opened the letter which wrote.

FROM ZACK TO LIGHTNING AND CLOUD.

Hey guys how have you been? I know if you're reading this I have probably passed on to the afterlife. I know you guys might have some questions like why I asked arise not to tell either of you about who the other one was. The reason I didn't want you to know immediately light is because You said any one who is my friend would be your friend so I knew that if you knew who cloud was from the beginning you would instantly like him and I thought that you guys should meet and hopefully like each other for who you guys are not because you both knew me. Any ways thanks for reading.

SMELL YEAH LATER P.S. wouldn't it be funny if you two got together

YOURS TRULY

ZACK FAIR

After they both wear done reading they both looked up at each other and stood staring each other in the eye that is until lightning broke the silence.

"I understand now, Cloud, who gave you this letter?"

"A girl who me and zack went to visit before he died she's also the one who made me realize my error of leaving and come back to you She's zacks adopted sister."

Cloud then turned around and began walking to his room as he thought

"Thank you for everything….Cisscini."
