Episode 19

A Martial Artists Jealousy

I was trying to force my eyes open, but the pain in my shoulder was too much. Too much for me to move, that is.

"Take it easy now," a voice said.

I slowly opened my eyes to see Belle sitting over me with a kind yet worried smile.

"Where am I?" I asked weakly.

"You're in one of the guest rooms," she answered. "That wound of yours wasn't a very pretty sight, so Mrs. Potts and I patched you up the best we could. You would've died of blood loss if Donald hadn't used some of his magic onto you." I tried to get up, but Belle her hand on my unwounded shoulder. "Don't try to get up. You lost a lot of blood, so give yourself some time to heal."

I laid back down willingly. "How's Cloud doing?"

"He's resting, but his fever might be getting a little worse. I don't think he should move for at least four hours. You on the other hand, could probably take a little longer."

I sighed. Great. Just one more delay of ever finding Sora and Yukis bodies.

"Cloud has been saying your name a lot though." I looked at her smiling face. "Yes, right when was I giving him a colder washcloth. He kept on saying your name like he was a lovesick puppy."

I gave her a look. "Lovesick? I'm like 15."

"Maybe, but there are some men who prefer younger women."

"Well, no man his age is getting this bad girl right here."

Belle laughed as I had pointed to myself and I laughed along with her.

"Ramona... Ramona..."

"Man, what's with this guy?" Roxas wondered as he watched Cloud. "He's been saying her name for like two straight hours."

"He's probably just worried about her is all," Goofy said. "I mean, she did save his life, you know."

"Yeah, I know. But he's saying her name in the weirdest way."

"Should we check on Ramona and see if she's ok?" Kasumi asked.

"There's no need," Beast said. "I'm sure Belle's taking good care of Ramona."

They nodded and continued watching the ex-SOLDIER as he slept and called out to Ramona.

You know, being injured in bed wasn't so bad. I got fed some soup, so that's a positive. The guys came up to check on me every now and then, but the flame headed pervert decided to stick around and mess with my body by ghosting his ghost fingers through me from top to bottom. I shivered every time he did it, but only cause he was freaking cold!

"Okay, will you cut it out already!" I yelled at him. "I may be injured, but that doesn't mean you get to freaking mess with me!"

Axel smirked. "Come on, you know you like it. You wouldn't be shivering if you didn't."

"I'm shivering because I'm cold, you asshole!"

Kasumi had overheard Ramona's yelling from within the room, and she could only assume that she was yelling at Axels spirit.

"Hey, don't ghost your dirty fingers there!"

She sweat-dropped as Chip stood next to her feet.

"Who's she yelling at?" he asked.

Kasumi looked down with a nervous smile. "Oh, my old friend, Axel. I think he's doing something to her that she doesn't want him to do."

Chip stared at the door.

"HEY, QUIT TOUCHING MY ASS, YOU PERVERT!"

At this, they decided to leave the screaming ghost whisperer alone and went off to see her brother.

Okay, I am BEYOND pissed! This perverted asshole actually thinks he can put his dirty ghost claws all over me and then he pouts and whines about how he wishes he could actually TOUCH me that way! He even told me about his stupid sick fantasies, which apparently had his boner showing! News flash, dudes, do not wear leather pants, because THAT will end up showing!

"Stop it already!" I shouted.

Axel just smirked. "Would you rather have me masturbate in front of you?"

"Aw, sick! No #$%&! way! What kind of sick dude are you!"

"Isn't it obvious? Your my toy." He wiggled his eyebrows.

I just growled. "Will you just get outta here already!"

"Fine," he whined with a pout. "So much for wanting to pleasure you."

"GET THE #$%&! OUTTA HERE!"

Axel smirked before walking through the wall. My face was probably red from the yelling that I did and I sighed before sinking into the mattress.

Roxas had come in shortly after Axel had left. "Is Axel here?"

"No, I told him to get out. What is it, Roxas?"

"Cloud's acting weird in his sleep. He just woke up and kept on asking about you. He sounded like a lovesick puppy."

"Jealous?" I asked smirking.

"Not a chance!"

"Whatever..."

"You feeling any better?"

"A little bit. We'll head out once I get better."

Vanitas and Irritum watched Ramona help carry Cloud out to the Gummi ship so they could head for Radiant Garden in a bored manner.

"Um, Masters, is there is something I could do for you?" Larxene asked nervously.

Irritum yawned as Vanitas rolled his eyes. "No, just be sure to check on Pete and make sure he's getting the right ingredients."

Larxene nodded before leaving.

"Zexion, how is Vexens lab coming along?" Irritum asked tiredly.

"It is being disposed of as we speak, Mistress," Zexion replied.

"Mmmm, good..." Irritum leaned onto her brother as she started to fall asleep.

Vanitas picked his sister up bridal style before going to their throne and sitting down to start cradling her as she slept.

"Is something wrong, Ramona?" Donald asked me.

I didn't look at him, but kept looking down in space.

"It's just..."

Flashback

"Ramona, look," Kasumi said, pointing at the black rose.

The teen looked at the dark flower started getting a little lighter and floated towards them. Ramona's Keyblade appeared and she got ready as the light formed a crown beneath her feet and the light shot out from the rose and formed a keyhole. She pointed her blade and it unlocked the gate to another world.

Flashback end

"How could that black rose be able to help open the gate to another world? It was forged by Vanitas and Irritum?"

"Maybe it also has some light into it." Goofy assumed.

"Nah, that's impossible. There's no way Vanitas and Irritum have any light in them whatsoever."

I felt a hand on mine and I looked to see Cloud staring at me with warm eyes. If I was one of his fangirls, I probably would've blushed. I mean, I have played Final Fantasy VII before, but I was younger at the time. Therefore, I am not one of his fangirls.

"We should be arrivin' at Radiant Garden shortly, everyone," Dale informed.

"Alright, let Leon and the others know that we've got a surprise for them."

"Roger that!"

Tifa Lockhart sighed as she leaned against the wall. She had been looking for Cloud for months and there was still no sign of him anywhere in the universe. She had looked in countless of other worlds, but no such luck.

Before she could sulk some more, she spotted the Gummi ship descending onto the surface outside the town. She hid herself behind the wall as she watched the doors open. Out came Donald and Goofy, with two kids, a blonde boy and a raven haired girl, and then Cloud was being carried out by a dark chocolate haired girl.

Tifa smiled in excitement at the sight of Cloud, but she became confused when she saw the teenage girl. Who was that girl? And why was Clouds arm over her shoulder? Tifas hands clenched into fists as she watched the girl take Cloud inside.

Everyone was shocked to see Cloud leaning onto me for support. His weight was pretty close to killing me if I didn't get any help from someone.

"Uh, a little help here!" I yelled as his weight started to over power me. "He's freaking heavy as hell!"

Leon snapped out of it and walked over to us to put Clouds other arm over his shoulders and helped me get him to the downstairs guest room. Cloud groaned as we laid him down on the bed before I left.

"Ramona, how did you find him?" Aerith asked. "Where did you find him?"

"I found him in the Nightosphere and I got him out. Apparently, he and Sephiroth both ended up in the spirit realm and then got stuck in the Nightosphere, the darkest part of the realm. I was able to convince Valmorte to let him go if I beat one of the ghosts of Organization XIII."

Everyone took in all the information with wide eyes, before they smiled.

"Well, it's a relief that Cloud's back," Merlin said.

"But how come he's, you know?" Yuffie asked.

"He's been trapped in the Nightosphere for so long that most of his energy is pretty drained. It could take a while for it to come back. Leon's probably talking to Cloud right now so we should probably wait out here."

Everyone nodded in agreement and waited.

Tifa took this time to walk in Merlins home and everyone greeted her with a smile.

"Hey, Tifa!" Yuffie said. "Long time, no see!"

Tifa smiled back at the ninja. "Hey, Yuffie." She kept herself from scowling as her eyes landed on the new girl. "Who is this?"

Aerith went to the girls side. "This is Ramona Konrad. She's new."

"Yeah, and she helped save Clouds butt from the Nightosphere!"

Tifas eye twitched. "Is that so?"

Leon soon interrupted them as he came out the guest room with a serious face. Everyone looked at him in concern.

"Cloud's pretty weak, but he's still awake. He wants to see Ramona."

Ramona nodded. "Cool. Guys, let's go see-"

"No..." Ramona blinked. "He wants to see Ramona ALONE."

The brunette began to grow nervous as Tifa clenched her fists again. Why Ramona?

"I know that you two barely know each other, but he's been talking about you throughout the entire conversation we had. He wants to see you and only you, Ramona."

Ramona walked up to him and got him to lean to her level as she whispered. "Leon, I don't want to be alone with him. I'm gonna get nervous."

"I understand that," Leon whispered back, "but if Cloud doesn't see you, he'll get depressed and never want to see anyone else."

Tifa seethed in rage as Leon grabbed Ramona's hand and pulled her inside the guest room where the swordsman awaited her.

Okay, I think I'm going to faint. Cloud wants to see ME and ONLY ME? He must've hit his head pretty hard to want that.

Leon pushed me forward to the bed and I started getting nervous.

"Here she is, Cloud," Leon said before leaving.

I reached my hand out to him, but then I put it down and sighed. I felt a hand ghost itself on my shoulder and looked to see Axel giving me a warm smile.

"'Sokay," he mouthed.

I grinned before reaching my other hand out to wipe his sweating forehead.

"Cloud...," I whispered.

Cloud began to stir and he slowly reached his hand to grab mine.

"Ramona..."

"Yeah, I'm here, Cloud."

"Please... stay here..."

I nodded. "Okay..."

Tifa tapped her foot as she waited for Ramona to come out of the guest room impatiently. Kasumi and Aerith gave her concerned looks, but the woman just shrugged it off.

"Do you think Tifa's a little jealous of Ramona?" Kasumi asked.

"Yes, possibly," Aerith answered. "Although, I'm not really sure why."

Tifa did her best to ignore the two's chat about Ramona and Cloud, but she could already feel a vein popping on her head as they described Ramona's rescuing Cloud.

I hadn't realized that I had fallen asleep next to Cloud until I found my head next to his. I was leaning onto the bedside to be closer to him. I gave his hand a firm squeeze before I got up and left.

"How's he doing?" Yuffie asked.

"He'll be fine," I replied. "He's just a little exhausted is all."

"That's good," Aerith said with a smile.

I looked at Tifa and she was glaring daggers at me. I quirked an eyebrow. "What's up with you?"

"You wanna spar?" she asked.

I blinked before turning to the others, who were just as confused as I was before looking back at her.

"Spar?"

"Yeah, see how tough you really are."

I glared. "I don't have time for that. The hell's your problem?"

Tifas glared intensified. "You think I don't know, you little twerp!"

I was surprised before I glared. "Oh, you did not just call me what I think you just called me!"

Here's the thing. Never, ever, EVER call me a twerp. You do not want to see me MAD.

"What's wrong? Too scared, TWERP?"

I quickly punched her in the gut, making her gasp for breath before I swiped my foot under her feet and swiftly slammed my ankle against her stomach. I knelt down to pull her up by her shirt with a glare.

"Listen, you dirty bitch! Don't ever call me a twerp! If you do, there's gonna be more where that came from!"

"Ramona!" the other two shouted out.

"What the hell's goin' on here!?" Cid said, coming up to us.

Tifa grabbed my wrists with a heated glare. "You think you're so tough? I highly doubt that. Let's see if you can-"

I interrupted by spitting in her face and throwing her to ground. "Just step off, bitch!"

She got up and made to punch me, but a bandaged sword blocked her attack. She looked behind me in shock and I looked to see Cloud with a protective arm around me and glaring at the martial artist.

"Don't ever touch her!" he whispered menacingly, pulling me closer to him.

Tifas eyes were filled with tears before she stormed out. I looked at the door before Cloud put down his sword and took my hands, looking down at them in worry. I got a little confused before I looked down and noticed the bruises. Funny, her grip didn't feel very tight to me.

"Let's fix that up, shall we?" Merlin said, taking out his wand.

With a couple of swift twirls, my wrists were healed.

"The hell was her deal?" I asked. "What was she giving me the evil eye for?"

Aerith was helping Cloud back to the room as Leon answered. "She probably got a little jealous of you, Ramona. She's liked Cloud for a long while, and she's been searching for him for months."

I sighed. "Great. Riku never liked me from the start, now even Tifa hates me."

"Don't worry, I'm sure she'll get over it eventually."

A part of me hoped for that, but somehow, I wasn't so sure...
