Falling Down

Falling Down.

Previously

I'll get out of here some how, I promise, I'll get out of here all on my own, I make this one last promise to you little thing inside of me.

Now

It was almost time, tonight I would make my escape somehow. It was with good timing as well since I was slowly going a little bit crazy in my prison cell with barely a thing to do. Maybe that's how they truly punish their prisoners. It had only been three days...and I was well aware of my execution order.

I read the newspaper. It was riddled with theories as to what brought this huge co-operation to it's knees. What little underworld activity was left tried to take advantage of the sudden impact on Midgar's life and authority. Well...there wasn't much underworld activity in the first place since my brother...and I...had cleaned it out to last another good decade.

As for my escape, well, I had a scarf and my old key card that still worked, I had smuggled it in when I was collecting some clothes from my apartment...they were watching, but not closely enough.

It will be all I need.

Putting the paper down with a careless hand I sighed, looking out the window. The sky was painted a bloody red and fiery orange with tints or violet purple, it truly was magnificent. I grinned. Despite everything falling apart, my supposed new life destroyed, I had wrote down on the back of the newspaper what I would do.

I knew ShinRa's paths very well, escaping out of the building was simple as along as it was night, and I was fast. The problem was the routine cell inspection and the limited time I had to reach the exit before they knew I was gone. But I was very confident that I would escape.

The problem is, where would I go?

I was thinking about heading to Wutai itself...but Costa Del Sol was looking lovely nowadays, I have enough money for a boat. Perhaps Junon? Or Rocket Town?Perhaps getting a job at one of the Chocobo farms would be a safer bet. Despite my final destination I would catch a train regardless.

A little bird, perched at the edge of the window began to sing, I smiled at it. There is more to life than just a 'significant other' I guess...

With I sigh I began eating the tray of food delivered to me earlier which I had neglected. My appetite was increasing, not to mention cravings. But I kept my mouth shut most of time, nobody ought to know about my condition. I would only end up disgracing...him.

It was difficult but, I ignored and pushed away any thought relating to...him.

Hurry up. I need it to be dark, quickly.

After I finished my small meal I looked back at the window.

The little bird was gone,"I'll be joining you soon..." I murmured, smiling. My last hope pinned to my final act of defiance.

Oooo

Things are...much more quieter.

Aside from the constant noise of the reconstruction of ShinRa

Not much for me to do or even think about.

I had already given up on her and now I had done everything to push my misery onto others subconsciously. All my missions were refused, I hadn't spoken to anyone in three days, I had not eaten much, or even attended training with Genesis or Angeal. Genesis was getting angrier with me by the second, Angeal was trying to speak to me...but I ignored him...I ignored them both.

Moving on was my top priority now, she would be executed at dawn. The law wanted it, the heads of SOLDIER approved it, and Lazard had to accept it. I could not interfere, I was SOLDIERS 'pride' as I was once told. A role model.

I expected myself to have rescued her from that cell she is in. But I didn't have it in me. In fact...I wanted to kill her myself. So this is what it is like to have a torn heart. Unpleasant. Constricting. Conflicting with my mind.

She had only tried to do what she thought was right. But she refused to talk, that would have been right.

It was an accident, guilty by association. But so was her brother, and he was no accident.

In the end she did want to help. But by the time it happened it was too late, she is useless.

I can't blame her for trying to move on from her past. But I can blame her for ignoring it coming back and biting everyone in the f*cking ass and in need of stitches.

Soldier was my home...the only thing I knew...seeing it close to destruction...pushed me over the edge. It angered me to the point of revenge against her.

"Damn it" I sighed. The last part was true though. My right side was still aching after being pierced right through my darn liver.

But my last conflict had me truly torn.

She loved me. But if she did, would she not have at least tried to trust me with the dark secrets, especially if it could influence everything?

I shook my head of the onslaught of conflict and gripped my healing injury, it ached more powerfully as I continued to stress.

I looked out the window of the suite. The sky was a blood red, with violet and tints of black. Stars were starting to appear along with a full appearance of the moon.

Should I visit her...?

No.

With a grumble I returned to my paperwork trying to immerse myself in the half page of writing. I gave up just as quickly with a clenched jaw.

I looked out the window at the sky, it was darker. Anxiety felt horrible, I knew she would be gone the moment I would wake from my sleep. Now...I don't want to sleep.

Is this how it will all finally end between us...Sophie?

Oooo

"Tseng, where you going, yo? You know I wont let you go until you tell me" Reno said.

Tseng could see that it took Reno all his strength to even stand without his crutches in front of him, blocking his path.

"Its late, and its suspicious"

"I would say the same to you Reno"

He went rigid.

Tseng grinned innocently, "You were on your way to the cells, Rude and Elena are waiting there as well right?"

Reno trembled slightly, "Now I will definitely not let you through!"

Tseng yelled "Shush!"

"Says you!"

With slight guilt Tseng leaped, wrapped his arms around him and tackled Reno to the ground with a thud keeping him pinned beneath him as he struggled viciously despite his injuries.

"I'm not letting one of our own get killed!" He elbowed Tseng in the gut as he tried to wriggle out of his boss's grip, "Stop dog humping me!" He yelled.

Tseng felt guilty but smacked the Turk on the head hard enough for him to be more submissive.

"You know we can't reverse the order, you know that she put herself in this position, you know its doing justice to what has now happened. People have DIED. But Reno, you are also smart enough to know that we are the ones carrying out the man hunts for the most wanted criminals who escape ShinRa right?"

Reno froze, "So you caught us out completely, yo" He said. Sighing.

"How do you plan to carry this out..." Tseng pulled out a key card and waved it in Reno's suddenly bewildered face, "...without the key card?"

"You bas*ard, yo" said Reno.

Oooo

I paced my cell, wringing my hands around the scarf I had. It was beyond me that they had permitted me to wear such a potential weapon.

It was time, the sun had fully set and the sky was now a dark blue. I walked up to the cell door and listened out, the prisons main door clanked with a heavy thud and gave off a very soft creak, opening.

Now this was the hard part. And the most dangerous.

Each cell was numbered or categorised, and my cell was last, it would take an hour for them to get here, so, I had to be first.

Here goes nothing.

I used my fingers to find my solar plexis, the part where my ribcage ended on my front, and with a fist I hit myself as hard as I could without hitting my...baby. With a gasp and a loud whimper I made sure I threw myself to the ground with a loud noise and held myself close, in the process I had accidentally grazed my hand...good.

"Sh*t" said the male voice as he rushed to open my gate and he ran in keeping one hand on his baton just in case. As expected.

Now was the dangerous part. The real gamble.

I turned my head to him, eyes full of panic and pain, "I-I-I'm p-pregnant..." I stuttered and held my breath. After three days my abdomen had grown slightly larger and curved outwards that it was noticeable, but was still easy to conceal.

The blood from my grazed hand smeared on the front of my white blouse, shocking the guard and his hand automatically let go of his weapon as he called over his shoulder.

He yelled, "We need a medic in here now!"

Good, the part left to chance was over.

I leapt up and hit him in the back of the neck hard enough for him to give off a gentle spasm, before he could get up I ripped my scarf in half and tied his hands to the bars. Once he was detained he began yelling for help and I sprinted out of my opened prison down the corridor, the gate should have been left ajar if the medics were to get here fast.

The prisoners who had filled up the jail began yelling out for me to open their cells. The sound was getting louder. This was what worried me the most. The noise.

I skidded to a halt. It was closed.

No.

I looked at the key card...it would set the alarm off right away. But I had to gamble now, My hand held the card and hovered towards the slot...

"You are not getting away!" I heard a voice suddenly so close to me. A hand wrapped around my neck and slammed me against the corridor wall, it was the second guard. He had probably, somehow knew it was a fake.

My grip on the card faltered, and it fell.

"L-let me go!" I yelled, but he used his other hand to pin my arm against the wall.

"I don't remember a pregnant woman being locked up here, liar..." He growled. His radio buzzed with sounds that I couldn't hear, but he was speaking into it, calling for backup already.

I'm done for.

His eyes suddenly widened and rolled back horribly. His grip loosened and he slid to the floor. I stepped over him in shock.

It was not me who had...

I froze...was it the backup he wanted?

My eyes kept to the floor and slowly travelled to a set of black shoes, then upwards to black pants and then a white shirt, and then a pair of dark black eyes.

I murmured his name, "Ts-...Tseng?"

Why was he here?

He looked at me with blank eyes, clearly displeased holding his electro-magnetic-rod and looking down at the security guard he had just shocked. I looked around him. The others were there as well, looking at me with pure shock. Reno was in crutches, Elena's arm was in a sling, and Rude had a large bandage around his bald head. Tseng stood forwards and slapped me on my cheek.

I didn't make a sound. I had just made things worse for them...again.

"Sophie...you have ten minutes to get out here before we start looking" said Tseng.

What?

I looked back at them. They were apprehensive. My old colleagues I had once proudly served along side the president.

"You want me to...run?" I whispered.

Reno spoke this time, I half expected him to be angry with me, but he wasn't. "We will start searching in Midgar, so get as far away as you can, yo"

Rude just nodded.

It was hard to comprehend. So I took a step away from them and towards the exit stealing a backwards glance. How would they explain this to the president? I was about to ask when Tseng said. "Nine minutes...Sophie..."

I nodded and ran out of that prison block and headed for the nearest repaired elevator, once I jumped in I punched the button for the floor my apartment was in so many times only to have the elevator purr to life, and take me up.

Ding!

I ran out of it and down the hallway, it was still under construction but it was fixed and secure enough for people to move back in the complex. I burst into my room, the door was still broken, and in a scramble I changed into a new white blouse, long black cotton pants and a pair of thick black shoes and a black scarf. Tossing my small pack on the bed I packet an extra jacket, small necessities, food, my purse and my little box loaded with all the cash I ever had.

Securing it closed I threw it on my back and sprinted back out to the elevator and punched the parking floor instead, if I went out the reception area I would be caught for certain.

I stood there as the elevator hummed, taking me down to me destination. I grimaced and watched the numbers slowly glow on, and off as I get lower, and lower. It took some time.

Ding!

It slid open revealing the walkway into the car park area. I sprinted out of there and headed towards the exit where the trash was thrown out.

I spotted the heavy chain linked gate that separated the cars and the outside area of the trash alley. The cameras watched me, but all I looked like was a worker trying to get home in a rush.

Once I reached the gate I leaped and held onto it, slowly and carefully climbing to its top, and with careful footing I manoeuvred over it and let go, falling and landing firmly on my feet. Looking around I spotted the next gate between me...and the streets.

Suddenly, a sound so loud, so deafening, rang throughout the car park, throughout the entire building in an ominous melody. I gasped and cupped my ears tightly and winced at the high pitched screeching.

It was the alarm. Emergency alarm. Looks like my ten minutes is finally up.

I ran full speed and climbed the last fence in full strength. I heard the echoes of the security guards and soldiers voices in the car park, searching for me.

With one last pull I misjudged my footing and slipped, falling down to the ground on my back, which hurt. But I had no time to complain, I got to my feet and sprinted out into the dark streets, trying to mingle in with the people.

Oooo

I gritted my teeth when the alarm sounded.

Is it possible for ShinRa to make those stupid alarms any more louder to make ones eardrums spurt out violently? No. It wasn't. The sound was loud enough to kill a baby. (Sadism...sorry)

'All First Class Soldier please report for briefing immediately' The robotic voice said through the announcement system.

With a sigh I routinely headed to the First Class briefing room, who could possible have escaped now? Most of the prisoners had escaped during the mayhem of a few weeks ago...why now?

The idiot must have been on death-row to be as desperate as to-...

I paused. Could it be that she had escaped? It was plausible. The De-brief described her as cunning.

My feet carried me almost instantly to the briefing room.

Genesis was just arriving, and Angeal was already there. Just us three. Lazard stood there looking decades older than he was, such a gloomy face, but finally, the alarms stopped and I could hear the sudden loud activity in the building as if it were midday on a busy week.

Lazard cleared his throat and clicked a little remote to the large screen in front of us. Nothing ran through my head when I saw that enlarged photo...again. Sophie...so you actually had the nerve to escape...why?

Lazard said, "Detainee 67163FA as you may know...has escaped. Since she has been sentenced to execution and is labelled the highest ranking criminal, she must be captured and detained as soon as possible before she leaves this city" He clicked again. And there was another image of her again, wearing black and white clothing, and in a rush across the underground car park below.

"This...was captured on our footage from one of the security cameras not long ago...we don't know what she has planned if she successfully escapes or what her future motives are but she must be detained before dawn. I leave this mission for the three of you. You don't have much time."

It was clear that even Lazard was disturbed about the prospect of hunting down a former assistant. He looked like he was about to faint.

All three of us stood up and made our way out of the room silently to get into proper gear.

"Finally..." Genesis muttered.

Angeal scowled, but he just wouldn't give up, "What? We have to go after his b*tch...Does that not bother you?"

I ignored him.

We got into gear swiftly and was out the building twice as fast.

"She may head to the nearest bus stop for the train station" Angeal said.

"Or...a hotel" I said.

Genesis grunted, "Sephiroth, you can't let her off if you end up finding her, President himself would have you kicked out and stripped of your title if you do..."

My hand balled into a fist as I glared at him. Angeal stood in between us and eyed us both.

"Now, now, Genesis you head over to the Honeybee Inn and any other hostels nearby, I'll check out the bus stops and search for witnesses, you Sephiroth would check the train stations. Go!" He said firmly.

And in a flash we melted into the shadows of the streets.

The only problem for me is, the train service runs 24 hours a day 7 days a week, and there was more than one train station in Midgar.

Remembering that one afternoon we spent with each other, I remember that eerie playground she seemed so happy with...there was a train station not far from there. If she wasn't there...She might as well be dead.

Oooo

It was really dark as I panted but kept on running down the pathway along the now empty and wet street. I took a shortcut through the playground I had been to before not long ago...that one time someone tried to shoot me.

"Come on Sophie...you can make it" I cheered myself on.

I saw the glowing lights of enormous train station ahead and kept on running up the large ramp taking me to the kiosk. There I bought a bottle of water from the machine and used my standard train card to enter the floor with the huge electronic board illuminating all possible trains to all possible destination in all possible times.

The water was nice and cold as I drank it fast, the next train was in 10 minutes, and headed for Junon, but as I looked at the map which was an another huge illuminated board, halfway along the track was a connection with a rural town that ran ferries to Costa Del Sol which perfectly coincided with the current train.

Costa Del Sol it is then.

Cautiously I headed towards the escalator and looked over the balcony, there were a lot more soldiers there now, routinely patrolling the area and asking the remaining people for their identification. I sighed and thought for a moment.

Hmmm.

I descended the escalator carefully trying to avoid any people and security and headed to the very end of the long platform and leaned against a huge pillar which concealed my body from view of anything.

But there I could see out into the black iron tracks and the little lights from various houses surrounding the area...and the moon. It must be really late. Maybe close to dawn?

My heart pounded fast, this was it.

Suddenly, my stomach began to ache. It wasn't too bad at first.

"...Aaaghh..." I panted hard clutching my abdomen. Come on baby...not now. The pain was now excruciating, I felt so sore, so bloated. A sweat drop trickled down my neck as my body began to heat up. It was an episode. I had a few whilst in the prison, they were small and lasted for only a few minutes...but this was the first time it hurt so bad.

It was suddenly much colder. And I got on my knees making sure I kept out of sight and leaned my side against the pillar, gritting my teeth and bearing the pain and the heat.

Not long now...Not long until I can get help and not have to worry about being killed.

Oooo

I looked up at the boards and examined the times and destinations...so far, I hadn't spotted my target.

The next train was in a few minutes. A possibility.

I headed over to the escalator and descended, the platform was near empty, and windy. I looked around to see only three soldiers and four other people scattered about the far end where there was a light source that didn't flicker or was broken.

Folding my arms I waited there, she should be here...she has no reason to stay...not after ShinRa...and I, are now searching for her.

I looked at the other end, it was darker, and there was no one there from what I could see. Even the lights were against it, they didn't work. A perfect hiding spot for someone trying to run out of the city unnoticed.

I walked over there.

Suddenly, I heard the train sound it's bell from a long distance and I listened to the movements from the people of the other end standing up and peering out towards the end of the track to catch sight of the train now heading towards the station.

Hmm. I went back to my original point, at the foot of the escalator. I leaned against the wall and watched the train slowly pull into the station with a slow and sudden stop. The door slid open on all five carriages and all those who were waiting made their way into the very last cart.

There was beeping sound, a warning from the train when the doors were about to close. I sighed.

And turned around.

Just as I was about to ascend the escalator something moved in my peripheral vision, it was very vague and I automatically turned my head to look out of instinct.

A flash of black and white dashed into the very front carriage from the unlit end of the station just as the doors slid closed. I would have ignored it if I didn't turn my head. But automatically I dashed and pushed into the carriage where everyone else entered.

The doors shut tightly and the passengers looked at me in shock, they knew who I was.

Ignoring their looks I walked up to a smaller door connecting the current carriage to the next one.

Yellow letter scrolled above it, notices from the station manager, this train would be stationary for five more minutes. It read.

Good.

I opened it and entered the next completely empty carriage, and then opened the next door, and the one after that.

Once I got to the last carriage, I actually hesitated whilst holding the door knob.

So it would actually end like this. Death. Loneliness. Nothing.

With a tight jaw I slid the door open with more force than necessary, giving me a loud entrance.

She was there, on the far end of the seat, she looked up at me. And those green eyes widened in utter...horror.

Oooo

Just as I had placed my bag down on the seat something happened...

"NO!" I screamed.

This can't be happening, they sent him, they sent them all after me. To kill me. Get rid of me. No, I have come too far now to let it all go to the gunman who will take aim at my head in execution.

Wether I love him or not. I'm not going to let him take me back there. Whatever it takes.

I leaped out of my seat with a wince and stood on the isle, back straight and hard eyes.

The chances were...almost non existent that I would beat Sephiroth in a fight. But you never know until you try right?

With one careful step forward I paused, took a breath and leaped off that foot and dashed towards him with every intent...to harm. It hurt a lot but I swung my clenched fist forward to hopefully hit him. But I was frozen in my place instantly, better yet, he had tossed me back so hard that I slammed against the opposing door at the end of the carriage. I didn't scream or cry out loud. But the tears did run out. How Sephiroth counter-attacked without me seeing was beyond me.

No. There was no chance in Gaia.

I just slumped there against the wall and kept my eyes closed. And then I heard the old train creek at the slightest. He was walking towards me. I curled up tighter, fearing more physical injury to the new 'guest' inside of me...it was the only thing I was concerned with right now. And I won't even let him hurt it. No matter what.

My muscles tensed and my heart beat was painfully slow, he stopped right in front of me. What was he going to do?

He started, "Soph-" I cut him off quick, "Please! I did what I had to do...I should not have expected you to understand anything. But I won't let you take me back there. Even if you do, you'd have to kill me first...But I guess even now it wouldn't be a problem for you"

He didn't say anything. There was dead silence. Too silent for a train. I braced myself for the feeling of the cold hard metal of his sword.

I nearly screamed when I felt his hand cup my chin and lift my head up to meet his eyes, he stared at me intently, coldly.

"Your right, even now it wouldn't be a problem..." He said.

I gulped, and my throat tightened and went dry.

His tone was far from friendly."Is that what you wanted to hear? Listen to me, I don't know what you want me to say at this point..." Sephiroth said.

"Just tell them I got away, Please!" My voice trembled as I moved from the wall and got on my knees in front of him.

"Stop humiliating yourself" He said, But I kept my forehead on the ground, begging.

His arm grabbed mine, dragging me up and lightly pushing me on a seat.

And just like that, we were silent again. I looked up at him, wasn't he going to drag me all the way back?

"Tell me something..."

I blinked...Of course I would.

"Was it all...real?" He said.

Oh.

I turned away from him, I felt hurt again, aching, burning. I almost wanted to scream it out. My agony stared straight back at me through the glass window. A reflection.

"It was never...unreal"

"Every word...everything you did, every touch...was that all real?"

"If it wasn't, than I would not be here..."

He pulled me from my seat, and then, he held me, and just like that I instantly held him back.

Shocked. Fearful. Confused. And then...Desperation.

He wasn't going to...

The feeling...when one is so desperate for forgiveness, so desperate to forgive as well...swept over me in a huge relief, a huge warmth, a huge ease, it came down so heavy that I clenched my teeth and held him tightly, afraid that I would faint.

"Breath...or you will faint" He said.

But it wasn't over, "Please! Don't let them take my life I'll do anything! I have to protect it-"

"Enough..."

I stopped my talking and took a lot of deep breaths through my tear stained face.

"Does your back hurt?"

I shook my head.

"Don't...deceive me...ever again"

More frantically I nodded, "I never lied, and I will not lie to you" Anything, I'll say anything true to make you understand me.

The train gave off an odd sound, the engine began warming up and vibrated before pushing off the station slowly.

"Looks like we are making the trip..." He said blankly.

I don't know what compelled me, but I rushed to the door to get a glimpse of the last of the train station...Slowly I walked back to him, hesitantly. I sat down and summoned the courage to look at his face, it was strained and very tired, and at the least, stressed. The one time I got to see his feelings displayed on his grey eyes.

"Don't ask why...Feelings are too complex for my liking..."

My cheeks went a bright red from embarrassment and shame, "B-But I'm not a criminal...I wasn't ly- uh...why?" I said, looking up. His words hurt me again.

"You are too much for me to handle, you do the opposite of what I say...too emotionally in tune for my taste, it's the main reason I don't fancy women. You put up with me this whole time...believing you were a real personality is.. too much to ask for."

He didn't fancy women too much? I looked away from him and swallowed my humour.

Suddenly, my body went rigid, my breathing reduced to short gasps and it was suddenly very steamy in the train.

"S-Sephiroth...I''m...I'm..." I stopped, hyperventilating.

Another episode...but it had stopped and my body heat returned to normal so quickly that I should have fainted.

He had his eyes closed, but they snapped open again, and pierced through mine. I could see he was restraining some sort of hidden fear.

What would he do, telling him now would be a better time than later, right? Only one way to find out.

I closed my eyes tightly and said the 'P' word.

"...P-pregnant..." There.

He blinked, "Who?" He said, in pure seriousness.

He is a Gaia acclaimed genius...right?

I said it slowly and deliberately, "I'm pregnant...with your baby"

He became thoughtful, he didn't say anything...I watched intently as he closed his eyes, and opened them. His hand held onto mine and gripped it tightly.

Too tightly.

"O-OW!" I panicked.

"You...fool...."

No...Not now. He is angry at me, what have I done? It's over isn't it? This is how It will end?

He wasn't happy, "You...fool. You were in a prison cell for weeks...you climbed over a fence...you were interrogated for six hours...you were lucky to survive the explosion...and now you tell me...that you were pregnant and vulnerable..."

He stood up, fuming..."None of this would have happened if you had said something...YET Again..."

And just like that he walked out into the other carriage, leaving me sitting there, stunned.

So that had angered him. But I was no longer frightened, He just needed to time to adjust to it...I hope... I needed time to adjust to it.

After an hour...he came back in.

"You never change" He said, and sat down beside me again, face indifferent as usual.

"Was it from the time when we..." He said rather uncomfortably, unwilling.

"No...you impregnated me when we first kissed...Of course it was from that time when...just yes..." So much for acclaimed genius.

And quickly, the atmosphere became more mellow.

"Please tell me...what will happen now?" I said, "Given the circumstances, you dropped a bombshell here...so, anything I want" He answered.

What?

I looked up at him straight away, he was dead serious.

"I'm ShinRa's personal guard, the only one he is willing to trust around him with a weapon other than the Turks...When he calms down from this whole battle I can pull a few strings with him...but that is after he calms down. Wether he does at all or how long it will take is a different matter"

My upper lip twitched. If he doesn't?

"Don't look at me like that" He said.

I didn't stop.

"How long can you stand Costa Del Sol...?" He said.

"Forever?"

He frowned. "Good... Genesis can hold a grudge for a lifetime but that isn't an option for us. We may be there for a while"

We? I felt content. And for once, I was sure, as to where this was going.

But...I guess it was better we spend time away from Midgar...we still have wounds that needed to heal.

It was completely dark outside and countless stars lite up the sky, and the soft movement of the train slowly put me to sleep. At least when I wake up, I know what will be.

oooOooo

Genesis and Angeal stood there at the security room in the train station where their friend was supposed to be at, replaying the camera footage again and again, of Sophie and Sephiroth entering the train...but never coming out.

Genesis, was far from sunshine in his revenge-o-meter, "He's not going to be back any time soon right Angeal?"

"On a scale from 1 to 'Angry monster summon', how badly do you want to kill him right now?" Angeal asked.

"Angry monster summon..." said the calm and supposedly composed Soldier.

"Then he won't be back any time soon...give it a year...or maybe two" said Angeal. He wasn't worried...not anymore.

oooOooo

The End.

oooOooo

MY final note::

WAAAAAHH! I actually cant believe I have finally ended this story, a very old story originating from a one-shot...but still, The funnest, sadest, and confusing one I have ever written.

Did you know that I was so dumb that I actually had to read my previous chapters just to remember what Sophie looked like? I know...baaaad lilvici.

But I am glad to say that this is actually my FIRST story using Sephiroth...Gosh, it was hard to get the right dialogue half the time, I hope he wasn't too out of character too much atleast. . Aaaaand another 'did you know?',

Did you know Keilum is actually an OC based on Final Fantasy 13 Versus's Noctis (Like an evil twin brother with strange eyes)? Well, now you do XD.

Did you know Sophie was based on Cissnei? Well...now you do XD.

Lastly, I appreciate those who have reviewed, subscribed and favourited...it makes my day every time to know that my people actually read this. I am grateful, thank you for following this one story I am glad to have written.

Before I submit this last chapter for the last time, I would like to promote my new story that I have been currently working on, to you. It is a 'similar' story, as in, Sephiroth will be in it XD since in another website I wrote waaaay to much Reno and Cloud stories. So technically my second story as a more...experienced writer.

Here is a little more info::

Title:: Hana Kimi: Final Fantasy

Base:: Final Fantasy Vii And Japanese manga 'hana kimi'

Character:: Sephiroth X OC

Genre:: (more)Friendship, (more)Adventure, Romance, (more)Comedy

This story wont be as 'dark' as this one, and it will be more comedy and definitely MORE adventure, plus it is an original concept so it will be different to what I usually write.

Chapter 1 is out now, so...feel free to join me on a new journey XD.

ADIOS! :D
