Title: Sephiroth.
..
Once Tifa calmed down enough and they had eaten dinner -an ordered pizza- Cloud, Zack and Tifa were in her room again while Angeal was in his own bedroom.
"Sephiroth called." Tifa's head snapped up at Cloud's comment.
"What did he say?" Zack asked while laying to the right of Tifa, one arm around her shoulders.
Cloud was seated facing them on the bed to Tifa's left. "He asked where Tifa was."
Both siblings glanced at each other and nodded. Zack turned his head to Cloud. "You want to know why this is happening?" Cloud just looked at them. "You deserve to know. After all you're in this too, they won't leave you alone if you're with us."
Tifa picked up where her brother left off. "Sephiroth and Zack have been friends since they were fifteen, and Sephiroth has always been in love with me but I don't feel the same. I cared for him a lot, just like Zack, but I never loved him. But one day Sephiroth asked me to be his girlfriend. I tried to politely refuse but then he asked me to just give him a chance to 'gain my heart', so I let him. We started dating, but I was never able to see him as more than just a good friend. And then..."
"Cloud, do you ever wondered why Sephiroth is loved by everyone so much?" Zack interrupted his sister and Cloud shook his head. "The sons of the Director, Loz and Yazoo, are crazy. They took a liking to Sephiroth and have made him become the most popular guy in the school. They didn't like my sister taking up their idol's time as his girlfriend. So she was with someone who she didn't love and had to endure Loz and Yazoo's threats." Tifa put a hand on one of his and smiled weakly. "Breaking up with him was the best thing she could have done, but of course, those crazy guys won't leave her alone after this." Zack took and kissed Tifa's hand. "Sephiroth is our friend but he has no control over them, so he can't do a thing."
"Then, the ones spreading the rumours must be them, right?" Cloud guessed and Zack nodded. "Tifa, Sephiroth knows about your illness?"
Tifa nodded. "There are only a few people who know about it, Zack, Sephiroth, you, Zack's parents, and Vincent."
Zack answered the question that immediately surfaced from Tifa's statement. "Vince was present during one of her 'attacks'. He's a very good friend of mine." Zack's cell phone rang. He looked at it and responded. "Yeah?"
"Zack, are you with your sister?" Sephiroth's voice came from the other side of the line.
"Yes, she's beside me." Zack eyed Cloud from the corner of his eye.
"Can you put your phone in speaker mode?" Zack pressed a few buttons and then Sephiroth's voice sounded loud and clear. "Thank you. Tifa? Are you okay?"
Tifa leaned forward towards the phone "I'm fine, thanks for asking."
"Glad to hear that. Shalua got there in time?"
"A little late, but nothing serious, Tifa yelled at Cloud."
Sephiroth chuckled. "He's living with you two now, right?"
"I'm here, you know?" Cloud crossed his arms.
"Hello, Cloud." He nodded in greeting.
Tifa leaned forward again. "Sephiroth, Cloud nodded." She smiled and turned to him. "He can't see you, you know?"
..
"Those two fanatics of yours are disturbing Tifa again." Zack was annoyed.
"I know. But you know I can't control them, they do what they want. And I can't do anything about it because no one listens to me over them, I've already tried and everyone says that I'm just protecting Tifa because I love her."
"So we don't have any allies?"
"You know the three siblings?"
"The Rapsodos?"
"Yes, they are strange, but Genesis is a friend of mine, and I think he wants to know Tifa."
"Me?"
"Yes, he asked me your parents' names."
Tifa's face turned white and Zack grabbed the phone.
"You bastard! You told him!"
"Zack, calm down. I didn't tell anyone. I've been thinking that maybe he knows something of the 'illness'."
A/N: Chap 7, End!
LTS: "The next chap will be Monday, so we'll know Genesis better. And yes, I'm skipping Sunday, what can I say? I can't make a chap for every single day! Besides, they were doing homework and watching TV, that's not much fun, right?
Cloud: "But you made the first three chaps for the same day."
LTS: "Because it was the fist day."
Zack: "Chap 4, 5 and 6 are of the same day too."
LTS: "Zack, shut up."
Sephiroth: "Disclaimer: don't own."
Cloud/Zack/Tifa: "NO!" *they run away*
LTS: "Thanks." *makes a high-five with Sephy*
Sephiroth: "I like to scare them."
Kou: "R&R and thanks for reading."
