Life's Tough, Get over it
Cloud pulled on the daggar, letting it come out of the hard wood. He crumpled the paper and shut the front door before locking it. He rubbed the towel against his forhead, letting it soak up the sweat that had remained there. He let out a sigh and threw away the paper. Damn kids and their pranks...even though it did have his name on it.So? Plenty of people on the block knew his name, he was a good guy. He looked on the stand near the door, the one that held everyone's keys. On it was an envelope with his name written cruedly on it. He picked it up and lightly shook it, something was inside but it wasn't ticking. Opening it slowly, he poured the contents out. Inside was a DVD rom. Cloud raised an eyebrow as he walked towards the dvd player in his livingroom. He popped the disk in and stood in front of the television. He crossed his arms as the black screen turned blue and then a photograph was displayed. It further confused him, the picture was blurry and hard to see. Then it came into focus and on the picture was Tifa, Roxas and Sora. She had her arms around both sons, all of them smiling. A voice came from the tv.
" I have heard you have a very promising family. Guess my sources weren't wrong...I just wonder...how much you will miss them? You took everything away from me Cloud. My two children and wife...I'm simply going to return the favor...after all...an eye for an eye...two sons and a wife. The number's equal all the member's of my family that you killed. So...if you think about trying to escape...just remember that your brother's family is also the exact number of my murdered family. You don't want him to suffer from your mistakes? And what about your best friend's family? Your deciding who lives and who dies, Cloud. I'm going to get you back for everything. My son died at the early age of twenty because of you. I watched him die at the alter as you morphed him to look like you. Now your sons will never make it past twenty either...run run run as fast as you can...well...you heard the little girl's playing jump rope often enough...finish the song ". The television turned blue again, it was all that was on the disk. Despite himself, he found he did finish it.
" Run run run as fast as you can...they catch you...you'll be a dead man ". ( That trade mark quote is copywrited of me. So don't use unless you ask, cause I want full credit. I made it up, and forgot to put that disclaimer in In Love...I think its in there).

Roxas, Namine, Axel, and Demyx pulled back into school, their lunch time nearly over.
" What do you have next? " Namine asked as she leaned against Roxas, her arms around his waist. Roxas wrapped his arms around her, his hands pressing her back closer to him. He kissed the top of her head lightly before resting his cheek on it.
" I believe I have...' pushing the limits of war ' ...who teaches that now? "
" Zack took that job to keep it going strong...but the school board says he isn't pushing the students hard enough like your dad did...he should come back...he was such a good teacher " Demyx pointed out.
" Yeah, but it stressed him so much...he was breaking down, going literally insane " Roxas shrugged.
" What if he came and just taught ' pushing your limits '? No grading or hard tests, all of it is physical. He seemed to have so much fun in those classes. But I guess the school may not take him back so easily because he quit " Axel pointed out.
" We're kinda letting dad see what he wants to do...mom is a trainer for martial arts now...she decided that she was getting bored from being a stay at home mom. Sora suggested dad teach sword techniques. But dad said it would be, once again, teaching. I joked and said he could go into business with Uncle Seph...he didn't laugh. He prefers to use the terms ' train ' when he works with either Sora or I. I didn't know just how much he had started to hate teaching. He said he liked seeing his students...but hated sticking to the boring schedule of when we could be learning something more useful at a faster pace. We'll just have to see if he plans on going for work again...or simply staying home ".

Tifa unlocked the front door to the Strife manor. She dropped her keys into the bowel on the stand before closing the door behind her. She looked around the house...it seemed empty.
" C...Cloud? I'm home...Cloud! " she rose her voice so it carried all around the house. Silence. She looked on the fridge, there was no note saying he had gone anyway. She put her small purse off to the side as she made her way to the gym. She opened the door to find no one there. She walked out then started upstairs and stopped as she heard water running. She smiled wickedly as she crept into their bedroom and to the bathroom. It was filled with steam and she could see his shadow behind the shower curtain. How his spikes stayed up even with water pouring down them was a mystery. Tifa smiled as she quietly slipped out of her clothing and shoes before climbing in behind him stealthily. Cloud opened his eyes as only a few streams of water hit him now. He raised an eyebrow, was the faucet broken? He smirked as two arms encircled around his waist, the left one showing the cloud shaped dimond. He felt Tifa press her lips against his back lightly.
" You know, I came to take a shower to get clean " he traced his finger's along her arms. Despite the warm water, she got goose bumps from his actions.
" What makes you think you won't? " Tifa asked innocently. Cloud's smirk widend.
" Because every time you join me in the shower, thats the only thing that doesn't happen " he laughed. Tifa tapped on his hip bones as she manuvered around him. She smiled up at him as she rested her head on his shoulder, her fingers entwining in his spikes. Cloud leaned down and kissed her exposed shoulder, scraping his teeth over the soft flesh. Tifa's fingers tightend their grip as his hands pressed the small of her back, his lips trailing to the sensitive spot on her neck. She balanced her weight on one foot while one leg brushed against his as it wrapped around his torso. Cloud used one hand to move to her face and tilt it at the right angle before kissing her lips hard. Cloud turned her to the wall next to him, the tile warm from all the steam. Water from the shower head poured between the two of them, droplets rolling down their chest. He placed her her against the nice warm tile as her other leg hooked around him. Cloud dominated her mouth with his tongue, fiercely battling her own and winning. Tifa moaned in his mouth as he grinded his hips against her's, no clothing to protect them making the feel much more tormenting. Cloud laughed as she whimpered, it was beginning to be to much. With a powerful thrust of his hips he was in her, her sleek passage squeezing him like a fist. He smiled against her mouth, glad that he could make her act this way, and her body react this way. Their hips collided with one another, her nails dragging alone his back, her moans driving him onward. He needed this, needed her to distract him from the very erritable news he had recieved earlier. His lips never ceased their hold on her's, his hands on her waist as his mouth hungrily devoured her's. Her body slid along the wet tile, letting her move up and down with ease. Their kiss broke as they breathed greedily. Cloud licked her bottom lip softly, his hips continueing to thrum together with her's. His right hand left her hips before cupping her cheek, letting her look into his eyes.
" Scream for daddy baby " Cloud claimed her mouth again, his hand moving down to cup her breast. Tifa moaned in his mouth as his thumb flicked over her nipple. With each hard thrust her pitch would go higher and higher every moment. She cried out suddenly as her muscles contracted violently around him, making Cloud groan in her mouth.

Roxas stood up from the water fountain, a few droplets still on his lips. He wiped his mouth using the back of his hand before looking around. Someone's hand entwined in his spikes and made him bend, uncomfortably, backwards.
" Hello Roxas, how nice to see you " the voice spoke sarcasticly. It forced him back up and into the wall above the fountain. He hissed in pain as he felt blood stream down the bridge of his nose. The droplets of blood mixed with the water, making it all misty before going down the drain. Roxas forced himself off the wall and turned around. Xemnas let go of him before crossing his arms. Roxas raised his four arm up to his forhead.
" So...when were you planning to tell me you were back? "
" I... "
" Oh...so you weren't. You were planning on taking advantage of everything I've done for you, never mind the fact that I looked other way at your relationship...didn't plan on paying your dues eh? Xigbar heard what you said ' Lets keep Xemnas from knowing as long as possible '. How very nice. I will make sure Axel and Demyx get what they deserve to ".
" This is my punishment and mine alone...you leave them out of this " Roxas growled.
" Found your voice have we? No, all three of you get punished. It is time for your dues to be payed " Xemnas shoved a large envelope into his hands.
" I want this guy's records by night's end. And it'll be really hard to search his house if he's still alive. Have fun " Xemnas began walking back to class. His bathroom break would be nearly up by now. Roxas looked at his reflection in the clear water droplets, he could not go back to class like this. He narrowed his eyes and opened the envelope before emptying the contents out. A photograph of a man with dark eyes and dark hair spilled out. He looked to be around his sixties, maybe even seventies, but looked in healthy shape. His name was below the picture " Mayor Xander Sinn ". He raised an eyebrow, he had seen that last name before...and now he was to break into this guy's house. Roxas looked up, Xemnas hadn't gotten to far yet.
" I'm not doing it " he called after him. Xemnas stopped in midstep before half turning.
" Down Steiner street, house eighty twenty two, a tow story white house with three cars. Large windows, no animals or guard dogs, and no security system...". Roxas listened intently, he was describing a house he knew all to well.
" Try me Strife, and she won't live to see the twilight " Xemnas threatend darkly. Roxas stuffed the envelope in his pocket before wiping his head clean of blood and running back to class. He had to keep his hand periodically there for the hour.

Zack knocked lightly on the front door of the Strife manor. He stopped and noticed a groove of chipped wood. The pads of his fingers traced over the rough wood before knocking again. The door opened to reveal Tifa. She had a towel around her head and her usual white tank and black shorts. She looked up at him in silence for a few moments before smiling her grand smile.
" Hey Zack...come in? "
" Thanks " he answered a little uneasily. Tifa closed the door after him and whistled loudly.
" CLOUD! GET YOUR ASS DOWNSTAIRS RIGHT NOW! " Tifa yelled towards the stairs.
" I am downstairs " Cloud walked out of the living room, before running his fingers through his spikes. He stopped once he saw Zack, this was going to be an odd conversation. He then motioned for them all to sit down at the kitchen table. Tifa asked if they wanted anything to drink, but both declined.
" Cloud...Tifa...there really is no proper way to say that I'm truely and deeply sorry...I had no right to drive you out of town...especially for a false alarm. I was hoping you could forgive me? Its been so odd to be mad at you and you not being here... " Zack's head hung down.
" I believe your two years of cooling off is up. And you seem to want to be my friend again...so...apology accepted " Cloud smiled. Tifa nodded her agreement, and raised an eyebrow as Cloud's smile turned evil.
" But to make it offical... ".

" Ok...now hold still and smile " Tifa held up the camera, Aeris had come over now to just to see what Cloud did to her husband. Zack had his arms crossed as his raven spikes seemed to have been glued to his head, giving it that Rufus ShinRa look. His eye was twitching insanely as Cloud leaned in and put a bit of blush on his cheeks. Set with dark red lipstick, bright blue eye-shadow, and fake eyelashes. Cloud stepped back to admire his work, and he had never dealt with make-up. He smiled before taking out another camera.
" Now...your forgiven " Cloud clicked down the button and two flashes went off.
" I hate you all so bad " Zack grumbled.
" Smile pretty honey " Aeris giggled as she raised her camera phone.

Namine closed her locker tightly, so glad that it was the end of the day and she could be going home now. She'd go tell her parents that her beloved Roxas was back and all was well. She placed a few books in and took two out, needing their assistance for homework later. Someone's hand closed over her mouth and yanked back violently.
" Namine...how nice to finally meet you in person...I have use for you " Xemnas whispered in the girl's ear. Before she could even begin to struggle, something sharp stung her neck. Her eyes rolled into the back of her head as Xemnas pulled the needle out. No student bothered to turn their head and help, they knew better than to mess with the organization. However, a pair of all to familar green eyes watched from the darkness, white hair pulled back in a small pony tail. Riku stepped from the dark corner after Xemnas disappeared. He looked every which way and that before pulling an organization coat over his body and putting up the hood, would they notice an extra member? He doubted it.
A/N: Alright, two things everyone needs to know. One, my anonymous reviews have been enable, so those who read but don't have accounts, let your voice be heard. Any stupid flames and it goes off. And two- I made a new Cloti story called " One's Soul, is another's Profit. I would like you to read it and tell me what you think, look under my profile. Anyway, Riku's coming back because he's threw things at my house calling me neglectful. And he's right, so I egged him back. There will be more of him, I swear it. Sephiroth needs to come back to, I've been so neglectful to all of them. And I'm not just saying that cause they've all got a sword pointed at my throat - sweatdrop-. Review please. ( I realize this isn't as long as I wanted it but I need my editor to get back for my new letter).
