-1Cant win for losing

Kat sat on the floor leaning against the door to the room tears hot against her face.

"Kat…I'm sorry, I know it makes up for nothing….But that is all there is to say." Vincent said to the closed door. He waited a moment for a reply but none came. He turned and walked outside.

"Well that went well. I only brought you here to help Kat and you just hurt her more." Sephiroth said leaning against the side of the building. Vincent looked back at Kat's room she was watching them from the window her face still wet with tears.

"I didn't mean to hurt her. I have to go….stay with her until she is ready to talk to me." Vincent said looking back at Sephiroth who had a smirk painted on his face.

"Don't worry, I am in no rush for her to leave. " Vincent just gave a small nod of acknowledgment and left. When Vincent was gone Sephiroth went up to Kat's room and knocked twice on the door. Kat opened it up half way when she saw that it was Sephiroth she stepped back letting him enter.

"Vincent said that he wants you to stay here until you are ready to talk to him."

"I don't talk orders from him." Kat said looking to the floor.

"I know, you can stay here as long as you want. I am not going to make you do anything you don't want." Sephiroth said with a smile. He and Kat talked for a long time after both of them sitting on the floor next to each other.

"I just don't know what to do, now that Lucrecia is back its like he cant decide who he loves, and now I am not sure I love him." Kat said trying to explain for Sephiroth how she was feeling.

"You don't have to love him." Sephiroth said leaning in a kissing Kat. To Kat the kiss was warm and soft, she let her eyes close as the kiss lasted. The kiss was sweet but held a bitter half that didn't feel right. Kat opened her eyes and pulled back when Sephiroth put his hands on her shoulders. Sephiroth looked into Kats eyes with blue green fire. He loved her and it was clear but it all felt wrong to Kat. Standing up quickly Kat looked at Sephiroth's intent gaze at her.

"You can stay here with me Kat, you wouldn't have to cry again. I would never hurt you like he has." Sephiroth said standing.

"No, I cant, I wont." Kat said backing away from him.

"Kat I can give you anything you want." Sephiroth said walking towards her.

"But you cant." Kat said standing her ground. "You cant give me Vincent's love, and you cant make me forget him."

"I'm sure I could make you forget him." Sephiroth said with an evil smile.

"I don't love you!" Kat said that killed the blue green flames in Sephiroth's eyes and looked at Kat then said.

"Then you should go back to who you do love." He and walked to the door. "If you tried to forget him, you could love me." He continued out. Kat sighed her stay with him was over. Kat walked back to Midgar and it was well into the night when she got back. There weren't many people on the street and many of the people that were out still were guys in groups of 2-3. They all seemed to notice Kat walking alone. But when she looked at them they quickly turned away with fear. Kat walked along the road ways and made for the church. As she passed where the Seventh Heaven was she noticed that it was being rebuilt. The wood and steel frames were up and the bar was forming walls. Drywall was in parts of the lower level and the stairs leading to the upstairs that had a floor were polished. Kat smiled as she remembered all of the good times she had in the bar. Even thought it would never be the same she still was happy that it was being rebuilt. Kat continued on to the Church still thinking about happier times. When she got there the door was closed. Kat opened one door pulling it silently open. Inside was like a camping group that was sleeping under the stars. Cloud, Tifa, Marlene, and Denzel were asleep in a little group. Aya and Lucrecia were in another group. Kat looked around not seeing Vincent with them. Kat sighed he probably didn't want to talk to her anyways. Kat sat in the back of the church and wondered what she was supposed to do now. She closed her eyes and was taken into the white void where she had encountered Aerith. Aerith appeared before Kat this time.

"Kat, I cant help them anymore. I cant stop their pain." Aerith said looking off the to right, Kat followed her gaze and saw Tifa, Cloud, Marlene, and Denzel all asleep as they were in the church. "I cant help any of them." She continued as hundreds of other people appeared around her and Kat.

"What?" Kat turned her head and was back in the Church.

Nothing is making sense anymore…

I don't think it should. Not yet at least.

Unable to sleep Kat went back to where the Seventh Heaven was being rebuilt. She had learned how to make a stick building stand on its own in art class. So she thought that she might be able to help with the rebuilding. To Kats amusement there was an instruction manual on how to build buildings called Building for Idiots . Kat worked through the night and into the next day.

"What do I get to do today Cloud?" Marlene asked eagerly.

"Marlene you are polishing the wood until we get the walls up." Cloud said as they rounded the corner they looked at the Seventh Heaven with most all of the walls up and the beginning of a roof started on the upper floor. As they all approached the building they herd hammering from inside. As they walked in they saw Kat working on getting a piece of drywall up.

"Kat!" Marlene cried and ran over to Kat.

"Wow Kat you work fast." Tifa said looking around at the duplicate of the old bar forming around her.

"Ya well I wanted to help out. And it was easy with the book." Kat said gesturing to the book on the bar counter that still had the plastic wrapping over it. Kat smiled as she notice Clouds face redden some. The group worked through the day and got the bar build. All that was left was painting and putting everything in place. When they were taking a break Tifa said.

"Kat I'm sorry but all of your stuff you brought from your world went with the Seventh Heaven when it went through the portal."

"Tifa don't apologize this is my world now. Why should I know about my world anymore?" Kat said putting down a paint tarp while Marlene got the paint can.

"Lets finish up." Cloud said as he finished cocking the windows. Tifa, Kat, Marlene, and Aya painted the first floor then went upstairs. Cloud, Yuffie, and Lucrecia got the bar and tables in place then filled the shelves with glasses and liquors. Yuffie left around mid-afternoon to get something. Everyone was done and seated around the bar when Yuffie came in supporting a stumbling Vincent. He reeked of alcohol and when he saw Kat he tried to walk on his own to her.

"Kat…" He said in his deep voice that was now jumbled up. He fell forwards and Kat caught him. He somewhat got his balance and pulled Kat into him.

"Hell he is totally smashed." Aya said pulling out a chair to one of the tables where Kat lead Vincent and he flopped down. He tried to pull Kat down with him, Kat pulled away from him and he frowned.

"I am just, just trying to make you happy and….and I love, you." He said trying to pull her to himself.

"He needs a place to sleep this off." Cloud said shocked to see Vincent, who never really drank, completely drunk enough to not realize that there were other people around besides Kat and that he wasn't alone with her.

"I'll take him to the Church." Lucrecia said stepping forwards. Vincent seemed to notice her because he stood and pulled Kat to him and hugged her to his chest. Looking at Lucrecia he said.

" slut your not worth gil or nuthin." Everyone in the bar looked shocked at what Vincent said besides Vincent. Lucrecia was pissed.

"Fine, I see what you like now Vincent. Well I hope you don't regret this later." Lucrecia said walking past him and slamming the door on her way out. Vincent seemingly more stable now said to Kat.

"Come on we are goin." Vincent pulled Kat out of the bar with him and walked the opposite way of Aerith's Church.

"Vincent where are we going?" Kat asked surprised as he pulled her up into his arms and took off flying.

"Don't you want to go home? Or can you not wait that long?" Kat looked at him completely confused as to what he was saying. He laughed when he saw her face and continued.

When he landed he still held Kat him his arms and he kissed her. Kat would have tried to push him off her when his legs gave and they both fell to the ground. Kat sat up and waved her hand in the air around her to clean the dust. Vincent had passed out when they fell. Kat sighed and got up supporting Vincent she made her way to the house. Struggling to get the door open Kat dropped Vincent it the first chair she could get to. Vincent even though he was so drunk that he was unable to walk looked completely peaceful. Kat got up and went to the stairs and pulled out her phone. She cursed silently as the power bar was blinking telling her it was almost out. Dialing Tifa's number up anyways Kat called.

"Hey Tifa its me Kat. Just wanted to tell you that Vincent and I ended up at his place…No he is fine, he fell asleep when we got here…Ya I am fine…..Tifa?…." Kat looked at her phone it dropped the call and was turning off.

"Stupid battery."
