dragonelf 8: Computers hate me I swear. T.T Just a reminder I redid the first chapter look it over tell me what you think. Oh! Responding to reviews is fun! So here are my replies.
Tolea: I didn't know that! Oh! That's horrible of them I was really looking forward to getting it.
Tsume-n-carnate: I'm forcing you to play FFVII along with Kingdom Hearts so I wouldn't worry about not knowing what's going on. If you resist I'll say S.T.A.Y.
BlackWindKaze: No biggie, people get mad all the time. I'm just glad you pointed it out, see dragonelf 8's a good girl and yes I do sometimes revere to myself as a dog. I was thinking about adding your character to the missing list, but I didn't want to get in trouble again so I didn't dare. Thanks for the reviews.
Kyuuk-kyubi: is it really getting interesting? I hope so, expect the unexpected. I want to make this as exciting as possible, but I'm really crummy with action scenes. I'm better when it's in Manga format. T.T
It might be a while before I update because I have school and 6 other stories that I really need to work on, but you never really know when it come to how lazy I'm going to be.
Chapter: Magic spells and Tifa finds Cloud.
"Alright that's it! KAI I'M GOING TO KILL YOU, YOU JERK!" screamed Luna as she slashed out at the attacking chimera Kai had sent.
When Kai said 'as for training you can leave that to me, trust me.' Luna had expected him to send small little monsters that where at her level, NOT FREAKING BOSS! Yes Kai had sent Luna two boss level monsters, to say the least Luna was seriously ticked off. The only time she was ever given any peace was when she went to go to the market to get supplies, help Cloud, and sleep. Cloud was still sick, but his temperature had gone down and he could now sleep peacefully without nightmares haunting him. Luna hadn't visited Tifa's bar ever since her last visit, but she had been wanting a good meal, and she want to get Cloud some soup to help him get better.
Luna Slashed out at the chimera leaving a large gash on its neck. Blood spewed out as the chimera fell to the floor, instantly its body deteriorated into a pile of dust. Luna brushed aside some of the dust and found a potion and a few gil.
"Hey Cloud look what I've got," said Luna as she stepped into the train. Cloud was sleeping soundly peacefully on the cushiness. Luna tucked Cloud better with the blankets that were covering him.
"I'm going to be out, I'll be back in a little while with some soup," said Luna as she got up and left the train again.
Luna walked down the familiar path that she normally took to go to the market. She was deep in thought 'It's almost been two weeks. What am I going to do I can't stick to the shadows forever. I need a plan. Let's see that first reactor that was blown up was reactor 8. So maybe if I,' thought Luna but she was interrupted out of her thoughts when should stood right outside Tifa's bar. Taking a deep breath she walked in, a few people looked up but they went back to their food as quick as the looked up. Luna walked up to the bar table, Tifa was smiling right at her. Luna smiled back.
"Hey, it's been awhile," said Tifa cheerfully.
"I've been taking care of a friend, so it's been a little busy," answered Luna.
"Oh! I see. What can get you today? And it better not just be bread and water," giggled Tifa. Luna shook her head no.
"I'd to get my friend some soup to go, and I'd like something warm, and ice water," answered Luna, Tifa's smile broadened.
"What type of soup would you like?"
"Preferably chicken, but any soup will do."
"Alright, does chicken and rice sound good to you?"
"Sound Great! I haven't had that in a long time," answered Luna happily.
Luna looked around the room, as Tifa went in the back. Jessie, Wedge, and Biggs where in the same corner she saw them in last time, the were all talking in low whispers, and were eating there food at the same time. Marlene was acting like a waitress and was going table-to-table cleaning the surface. Barret was walking up to the counter right next to Luna, just as Tifa came out and hand Luna her food. The soup was in a plastic bowl with a lid on top and a plastic spoon attached.
"What can I get you Barret," said Tifa in her usual smile.
"The usual," grunted Barret. Tifa smiled and went in the back again.
Luna to say the least was a little more than uncomfortable. Barret up at this close was more intimating than he really portrayed. 'What the heck type of steroids is he on,' thought Luna nervously as she ate. She then looked at Marlene, then back at Barret.
"Is she your little girl," asked Luna trying to arise conversation.
Barret looked down at Luna, then at Marlene, then back at Luna.
"Yeah, how'd you know," asked Barret gruffly.
"You have the same eyes, and I saw her with you last time I came here," answered Luna.
"Oh I see… So who's the soup for," said Barret trying to make conversation too.
"A friend."
"A friend?"
"Yes his not feeling well, and I remembered that soup helps with colds."
"You seem a little young to be taking care of friend, let alone holding a pair of swords."
Luna felt Tetsusaiga and Tensaiga shake in protest, but Luna held them so the won't attract attention.
"I've met younger, beside you gotta do what you can to survive right."
"Yeah I guess that's true, especially with the increased population of monsters," said Barret just as Luna finished eating and Tifa came back with a large steaming steak.
"I'd better get going. Thanks for the conversation," said Luna as she got out her gil and paid Tifa.
"No problem. Just one question?" said Barret just as she was about to leave.
"Yes?" said Luna turning back to Barret.
"What are your thoughts on the Shinra comp?" asked Barret.
"… I've heard horrible and frightening stories, about Shinra. Which is why I can say I really hate them. Power corrupts men and women it's been like that for centuries now. So I think Shinra as tainted beings. I think that sometime soon they're going to have some serious problem that they caused, karma I guess you could call it," answered Luna as she walked away. "I'll see you, later."
"See ya," said Barret, and Tifa in unison as they waved good-bye.
Luna walked away holding the soup tightly in her grasp. Finally she got back to the train, Cloud had barely moved an inch.
"I'm back, come on Cloud I'm sure your hungry," said Luna sitting next to him.
"Ugh…" grunted Cloud.
Luna lifted Cloud's head, and began spooning the soup to him slowly. She had been doing that for him while he was sick. Making sure to spoon every last drop, Luna sent Cloud's head back, his eyes were shut tight, and he was asleep again. Luna could feel her own eyes weigh down heavily. As she too fell into a deep slumber, undisturbed by the noise of Midgar.
Elsewhere
Tifa looked down at the money she was tallying from a hard day work.
"Huh?" said Tifa in confusion as she recounted the gil.
"What is it Tifa?" asked Barret lifting Marlene into the air.
"The money it's more than it should be," committed Tifa.
"So what?"
"Barret it's 200 more than it should be."
"How'd that happen," committed Biggs.
Tifa looked back at all the time the customers had paid, the remembered Luna.
"Oh that girl, she wasn't paying attention when she paid me," replied Tifa.
"What girl?" asked Wedge.
"Remember Wedge, the one that was talk to Barret," answered Jessie.
"Oh!"
Tifa quickly grabbed the extra gil and rushed to the door.
"Where're you going?" said Barret.
"Barret can you watch the store I'm going to return the extra," replied Tifa.
"Sure, but why bother, you don't even no were that girl is."
"It's not mine, besides she must live close perhaps at the inn. I'll just ask around," said Tifa as she ran off.
Cloud's opened his weary eyes; he had been having trouble thinking. His strength had returned to him over the past few though, even if he still felt weak. The words 'It's okay I'll take care of you' rung through his mind. Cloud looked to his side to find a blurry image of a girl sleeping, her head bobbing up and down as if she was in some way trying to stay awake. Cloud blinked a few time, hopping the image would clear a little, but it didn't.
"Who are you," whispered Cloud weakly, but the girl had not heard.
Cloud closed his eyes again; he was so weak, his body felt like a ton. His memory over the last few days had been extremely hazy, all he remembered was a kind hand taking hold of his and taking care of him. Cloud sighed heavily as he closed his eyes again.
A deep rumbling ran throughout the entire train trolley. Luna eyes snapped open, as the floor began to shake violently. Trying to gain balance Luna quickly looked out the window, a monster was attacking her trolley, and hers alone. 'I've got to get Cloud out of here,' thought Luna.
Luna grabbed hold of Cloud's arm lifted up the spiky haired man onto her back, and as fast as she could ran to get him a safe distance away. Cloud opened his eyes again hopping to see the person who was taking care of him face, but the image was still blurry, so he simply gave up, forgetting everything the girl did for him. Luna ran to where the boarding station was, there was a lot of people there, 'Cloud will be safe here,' thought Luna as she set him down.
"I'll be back," whispered Luna before she ran off to fight the monster.
'Kai you jerk this is no time to send a monster at me,' thought Luna as she ran back. Finally she returned, panting at little. The creature that was attacking her trolley, was I gigantic centipede, only where the head was suppose to be, was a woman's torso and up to her black hair. It was Mistress Centipede from the first episode of Inuyasha. Luna's first thought as she saw Mistress Centipede was. 'Lady! Get a shirt on! I don't care if you have to puncture holes for your other four arms! Just get a freaking shirt!'
Luckily this one was wearing a tube top over her chest.
"So you're the retched human," said the demon in a scratchy voice.
Luna didn't even bother to respond, she merely pulled Tetsusaiga out and pointed it right at the demon.
"It's rude to wake someone up like that," said Luna a little more than grumpy about being forced awake.
Mistress Centipede rushed at Luna, and just before she collided with the Tetsusaiga, Mistress centipede did a sharp turn and circled around Luna. Surrounded by a wall of flesh, Luna began to catch on what the demon was about to do. Luna jumped as high as she could to get out of the circle just as the demon constricted her body to make a bone-crushing grip around Luna. The demons tail snapped back and hit Luna on her side, sending her straight into a train trolley. Luna fell to the ground, a large amount of blood was coughed up onto the ground, a large dent was in the trolley were the body had collided. Luna wiped away the blood that was trickling down her chin. Mistress Centipede rushed at Luna again her teeth extend at her fullest as she bite into Luna's side and flung her into the air, catching her with her centipede body, crushing Luna's body. Blood seeped out of the open wound further as Luna took her sword and stabbed it into the demon's side.
"ARGH!" screamed Mistress Centipede.
"Urgh…" grunted Luna as she fell back to earth.
Her entire frame ached and was sore. 'Why isn't my limit break working,' thought Luna groggily as she stood up again, sword held tightly.
"You little wench!"
"So what sue me," said Luna as she extended her hands. Flames erupted from her palm; Luna couldn't help but gasp as the fire flew out of her palm straight at the demon, burning it to asunder.
"ARGH!" screamed the demon, as it became dust.
"Did I do that," whispered Luna in surprise.
Exhaustion filled Luna's every being as she slumped to the floor. Magic had really drained her as she simply sat there panting heavily. 'I'd better get Cloud,' thought Luna as she walked back to were she left him, slightly limping. 'I'll take care of my wounds later. At least now I'm was at level 6'
With Tifa
Tifa wandered around the train station looking for the girl. 'Strange why is she staying in a place like this,' thought Tifa. She had been looking for the girl in all of the inns in sector 7. None of them knew of a girl of that description. It wasn't until passers by recognize the description, that she was told, the girl walk back to the train trolleys ever night.
Tifa looked around silently, hoping to see the girl. Tifa suddenly found herself tripping over someone's leg, but quickly stopped it.
"Opps. Sorry sir," said Tifa to the man lying on the ground. The man was completely silent.
"Umm. Sire, are you okay," said Tifa as she shook the man slightly. Electricity encircled the man. Tifa drew back her hand, as the man opened his eyes.
"Tifa?" said Cloud in recognization.
"Huh," said Tifa in confusion.
With Luna
"Tifa it's me Cloud!"
Luna quickly ducked behind a train trolley as she saw the two, she watched the two talk a little bit then walk away. 'So it's begun,' thought Luna as she walked away as well. 'I'd better get up early if I plan to go to reactor 8.'
