Chapter 3
It was morning and the sun was shinning through the window near Cloud's bed. Having not to worry about an alarm clock, Cloud got up immediently. He rubbed his eyes and stretched out his arms yawning. He scratched his head and heard a slight snoring sound. When he turn his head he saw the silver fur beauty still asleep. Cloud thought it was all a dream, but it wasn't. He actually found a stray cat and decided to take care of him. Never in his life did he ever had such an adorable smart kitten. In fact, he never had a pet in his entire life.
Cloud started petting the little guy gently. He began to smile down at him and tried not to laugh. He stopped petting him and got out of bed to use the bathroom. After he was finished he went to the kitchen to make breakfast. While he was preparing to eat he began to think about something. Something that's been on his mind for awhile now. He was thinking about a promise he made to someone a long time ago when he was little.
Trying not to think to hard and not to over flow his cup with milk, he sat down on the chair staring at his kitten. What's so special about this kitten anyway? Was it destiny that brought them together? He just found him in a bush in front of his apartment, so what? Big deal. Cloud likes cute furry things, but it was a stray. Having such a kind heart makes him an easy target. Cloud shook his head and went to turn off his stove. All he made was two pancakes and some scarmbled eggs with milk and orange juice on the side. Also a grapfruit on the other side to make the scene look good.
He just sighed and started eating.
"This sucks," he said looking up at the ceiling, "Today is gonna suck." As he began to finish, Cloud walked up to his closet to get his school uniform. "School is really gonna suck! Once I get out of this place someone is going to jump me. I just know it!" Cloud had finished putting on his outfit and went to brush his teeth and put hair gel in his hair. "My hair style will never change 'cause I love it so much!" He just continued talking to himself, but he rather talk to Sephy instead. It just became a habit to just to talk to himself since no one really speaks to him anyway. Sure, all his friends talks to him, but only when they need a favor from him.
"What kind of friends are those anyway?" He shook his head slowly as he walked out of the bathroom. "Oh, good morning Sephy-chan!" He smiled at the now awaken kitten. It was a fake smile just to make the cat not worry about him. "I have to go to school now. Umm...I laid out some food for you if you're hungry. Also that a lady will be checking up on you. She's nice and she's the same woman you met yesterday. So be good while i'm gone." With that said, Cloud got his school stuff and headed out the door.
'Heh, Sephy-chan will be just fine.' Cloud thought to himself as he reached to the lobby. He waved at the lady in the front.
"Going to school now Cloud? Don't you think it's a little to early?" She asked him with a warm smile.
"Yeah, I know it's early, but I don't want to get jumped on the way there." He smiled back at her.
"Hmm...whatever Cloud. You know you got to face them sooner or later." She suggested handing him a bag. "I baked these yesterday and I microwaved them to make them soft for you." Cloud sniffed the bag and to smell some chocolate chip cookies.
"Wow! These smell good! Thanks alot!" He was about to leave, but something crossed his mind. "You never told me your name ever since I moved in here three years ago. You took great care of me after my parents died. Just who are you?"
"Just call me Jen, for now." She answered.
"Jen? Well...okay then. It's better than no name at all." He chuckled.
"Very funny Cloud. Now go to school. Don't worry about your kitty. I'll take good care of him while you're gone." She nodded and Cloud did the same and ran off.
Meanwhile...
Sephy, or Sephiroth as we like to call him, began scanning the room. He hadn't moved out of bed since. Sephiroth began to stretch out his body since he still felt a little tired and cramped. As soon as he was ready to search the place again, he saw the diary on the table beside the bed. Sephiroth shrugged and walked towards it knowing that it's open. He then lift he paw and flipped the pages. 'Great, now everybody will read this crap! Might as well read this to get to know him better' Sephiroth thought still flipping the pages.
'He has great hand writing. Seems that he'll write both in print or scrpit.'
He continued to scim some of the words on each page, but when he saw his name he stopped. He started scimming through that page until he let out a small gasp. 'Heh, not suprised...' Just then a small click came from the door which made his ears twitch. 'Well, well seems like we have a guess...' He smirked.
"Hello there...Sephy-chan..." Jen smiled and waved at the small kitten. "Have you been sneaky lately?" She pointed at the diary.
'Nooo...me? I wouldn't do such a thing!' Sephiroth said with sarcasm.
"I know you wouldn't" Jen smiled.
'Whaat! You can understand me!'
"Yep!" She walked over to put the diary back from where it was. "I knew from the beginning that you were Sephiroth."
'Wow, a little nosey I see...'
"No you're the nosey one." Jen picked him up and placed him on the bed. She sat beside the kitten and started to pet him a little. "I might be slow, but i'm not stupid."
'Look lady,Sephiroth moved away from her, 'I don't know what's your deal but-'
"But...why did you do it?"
'I got my reasons, but if you dare tell Cloud...'
"Don't worry...I won't tell him. He'll eventually find out on his own...sooner or later."
'Okay, he sighed, this is how it all started...'
-Much later-
"Okay, everything is going to be alright, Cloud. No one is going jump me today." Cloud continued to walk to school. "Rufus and his gang must be busy beatng some other kid. Yeah! That's it! Maybe i'm not scheduled on Fridays." Boy, was he wrong!
"Strife! Yo, Cloud Strife! Where's the money!" It was Rufus and his gang calling out to him. "Don't ignore us!"
Cloud started walking faster and faster...then he ran! "Leave me alone! I don't have any money!" 'I knew this day would suck!'
"Boss, he said he doesn't have any money! What a waste of time!" Reno was about to turn back until Elena grabbed his ear.
"You're not going anywhere Reno! He has money. He just doesn't want to give it to us." She then smacked him on the head. "Dumb ass"
"Ow! Curse you! If you weren't a girl i'll...i'll..."
"Cut it out you love birds! He's getting away!" Rude broke the two up.
"Guys...I think our boss is pissed." Tseng pointed at a fumming Rufus.
"WILL YOU GUYS CONCENTRATE AND GET THAT KID!" Rufus was shooting at their feet.
"Sorry boss! We'll be right on it!" All four of them said simutaneously.
Cloud kept on running away from them. They been at him since kindergarden. Vincent was apart of them too, but he didn't want to take part of them anymore. Mostly when he hung around with Vincent, Rufus and his gang wouldn't get near him. 'If only Vincent was here! Or maybe Sephiroth! Yeah maybe he would help me out, but he never came back to school! I wonder where he is...'
He finally made it the school and ran inside. Just then, he bumped into somebody. "I'm sorry! I'm so sorry...Vincent? Vincent Rufus and his gang is after me again!"
"You're such a baby! Okay, i'll take care of them you just...go somewhere." Vincent stood infront of the doorway and Cloud thanked him.
"Oh crud! It's Valentine!" Rufus and his gang stopped infront of him. "H-how ya doin' Valentine?" They studdered as Vincent cracked his nuckles since he couldn't bring his gun to school. "NOOOOOO!"
-Much much later after hearing them get beat up-
School was finally over and Cloud was proud of that. Now he can spend time with his adorable kitten. Cloud basically skipped through out the way to the apartment. He began to smile at thought of seeing his kitten again. As he reach there, he started to think. What if Sephy-chan hates him for leaving? 'Stop being so pessimistic, Cloud. I got to be more optimistic!' Cloud nodded and open the door. He then reached his room and unlocked the door only to see a kitty waiting there patiently.
'You finally came home! I was missing you a whole lot!' Sephiroth went up to him and circled around his legs.
"I missed you too,Sephy-chan." Cloud picked him up and walked over to his desk. "I wish you can talk so you can tell me about your day."
Cloud then heard his phone rang. He had put Sephiroth down and went to answer it. Sephiroth followed him anyway to eavesdrop on the conversation.
"Hello?" Cloud spoke.
"Ahh...Holla Cloud!"
"Zack? Hey Zachary, are you still comming over?"
"Don't call me Zachary! And yes i'm still comming over!"
"Okay, can't wait!" Cloud thought for a second. "Umm...what time?"
"Around four o' clock."
"Alright then! See you soon!"
"Later Cloud!"
Cloud hung up the phone and looked down at his cat. "I guess i'll be leaving you again, but only for tonight." He picked him up. "Zack is comming over so I want you to be on your best behavior!" Cloud smiled.
'Just enjoy yourself...you don't have to worry about me. I'll be just fine! I just hope when you know who I really am you won't freak out...'
