Before I knew it, I found myself at the doorway of Aerith's Church in Sector 5. My mind was still trying to wrap around how I was actually conned into doing this. Well the good news was that I was able to speak to Cloud, the bad news is that I had a certain someone along for the ride. Even with the disguise, keeping to the shadows thing, I knew if someone spotted him, it was over.

I carefully knocked on the door and heard the creak of the old wooden door as it swung open. There stood Cloud looking puzzled for a moment.

"So you did return," he said.

"Yep," I said pulling a pouch full of the Materia I borrowed from him, "Got everything here."

I gave him the pouch and stood there looking rather idiotic, only reason I knew is that Cloud was starring at me.

"What got something on me?" I asked looking at my brightly colored outfit.

"Neon and fluorescence? Do you know what that does to people when your clothes his sunlight?" he asked.

"Blinds them! It is a Blind spell without the hassle of Materia," I said, "So my necklace?"

He reached into his pocked and pulled the silver wing out, after giving it to me I donned it on to compete the set. I had been feeling rather naked without it.

"Much better," I sighed, "Um so, can I chat?"

"Why?" he asked.

"Well aside from being a perfect, prime subject for my antics, you are adorable!" I squealed.

"Are your companions here?" he asked, eyes darting around.

"Yeah," I said softly, "They are around...Um could you do me a big favor?"

"What?" he asked.

"Well two actually. Do you know anywhere where I can stay and not have me or my friends looked at in horror or weirdness, and can I pet your hair?" I asked hand twitching.

"What?" he said stepping back.

I quickly ran my hand through the fluffly spikes that adorned his head, they were so soft. I couldn't contain my happiness when he swatted away my hand. I immediately did a victory dance and cheered myself.

"Score one for the girl!" I said jumping in the air, "Before you ask. No I am not on drugs, haven't been around magic in a while, nor am I mentally ill...well not officially mentally ill."

The look on his face was priceless. His eye was even twitching! Oh I wanted to hug him right there, I was becoming a Cloud fangirl...damn. Even his emo state was addictive, I guess I was attracted to the brooding sort. Well for the most part.

"Okay, so yeah. How are Tiffa, and the kids?" I asked.

"How do you know that?" he asked.

"Alright, before you go on a rampage...I know things. A lot of things. I know about you, Yufie, Vincent, Barret, Turk, ShinRa, Nanaki, Cid, Aerith, Zack, Genisis, Angeal, Tiffa, Sephiroth, and a bunch of other stuff. So no secrets from me sir," I said giggling.

"Are you from the Lifestream?" he asked.

"No..." I said pausing, "I hate to say it but I am much closer to what Jenova was. I am not from here...is what I mean to say. Personality wise...Yuffie would be close.."

He eyed me and began to scan over me. I could tell he was sizing me up and debating on if he had a clear shot before Sesshomaru and Byakuya got near him.

"Look, I am friendly. I told you I would divulge info and here I am. Payment," I said, "I know you aren't a merc anymore but I still feel bad about the earlier encounter. We got off on the wrong foot."

He just looked at me funny and sighed, "Are you always this hyper?"

"Well yes and no," I told him, "Erm, well there is something I really want you to do. Um, can you come with me?"

"Why?" he asked.

"Well no reason in particular, but I kinda wanted to meet your friends...and I really don't want to set off this place on high alert," I told him, "So um...this is me asking."

"You were planning on kidnapping me?" he asked.

"No...not really. If I was I wouldn't have done that and took the Materia," I said biting my lip, "So um, uh, did you get to chat with Vince?"

"No," said Cloud flatly.

"Eh, hmm...Then perhaps I will think of some way to get a hold of him myself. He should be lurking about here somewhere, it isn't like you guys wander very far," I said turning around, "Oh...my friends and I are having a party. You should come."

"Not interested," he said.

"Really?" I said mouth turning to a smile, "Too bad. I thought you may want to know where all those unanswered question's answers are...surely you are curious? Why am I here? Who are my friends exactly? Many other things...Oh and plus I get to tell all you guys everything that has been avoided."

"Avoided?" he asked.

"No, bad Cloud," I turned while shaking my finger at him, "No trying to get me to tell you stuff. Anyway, be outside the Grasslands, outside the Chocobo Farm in a week. If things go down badly I want to keep things to a min."

"Why would things go badly?" he asked.

"Well...er...The um, Lifestream asked me to do a favor...and I did...but I-" I stopped to think of a good answer, "You are sharp sir, but if I say anything else you will kinda not be yourself."

"How do you know me, we only met," he said narrowing his eyes.

"Er, taking aim won't help you...I have become way more bad ass since we last met," I said winking at him, "So grab your party hat and come and join me."

After that I said my good-byes and went to the boys. Sephiroth looked rather tense for a moment. I had to reassure him I wasn't plotting against him.

"Aw, Sephy. Look eventually they are going to find out you are here. Away from most the population would be good...for all of us. Besides I have to ask Tifa...and steal her phone..."

"Thievery?" asked Byakuya.

"It is a phone...I will give it back...but I have to get a few things...first," I said thinking, "Nanaki and Vince are the hardest ones to get a hold of...Hmm."

"What are you going to do?" asked Sesshomaru.

I looked up and blushed, "Nothing~"

"I don't believe you," he said flatly.

"I swear to god I am not doing anything..." I said before smiling at Sephiroth, "You, however...have to be a question that he wants answers for or we will never get him to the party!"

"Why are you planning a party?" asked Sephiroth.

"I just became a bad ass and I swear if I don't get that boy to smile there is going to be some very evil devious action in the yaoi section going to happen," I said grinning evily.

"You don't want to scar the boy for life," said Byakuya.

"Then you better make sure he is at the party, with friends or I am going to get bored," I said before walking off, "Have fun~ And NO kidnapping!"

I believed the empty threat worked, well it was a half empty threat. No good fangirl in her right mind, well in this case her very wrong mind, would have not already thought of five positions of these sexy men to be in. I could feel the back of my mind shudder.

And they call me evil.

Eh, I was wondering when you were going to show. So how is the view?

My son will never participate in such activities...

Your so called son is the reason those images are there...

Who is this black haired one...the gunman.

Vincent Valentine...you like?

There are more of these memories, images of him?

Depends..How much clothing do you want on him?

I then heard a perverse snicker before Jenova left me. I unfortunately sighed aloud which caused Sephiroth, who was the only remaining member of my rag tag group there to look at me funny.

"Your mom is a pervert," I said, and the look on his face was priceless.

I believe he paled, as if he could get any paler, his eyes went wide and jaw slacked. I had just managed to shock the ex-SOILDER General. I was more than happy with myself. So yeah, time for payback.

"So do you wanna know who she is interested in?" I asked leaning my body so I could look up at him.

"S-she, interested?" came his voice.

Oh I was on cloud nine with this, "Yep. She popped in to chat with me about being perverted...and then she found some images in my mental vault...and someone just so happens to tickle her fancy."

Then his voice turned cold as he narrowed his eyes and picked me up by my collar, "You corrupted Mother."

"She was already corrupt...I figure she is occupying her time while stuck in me. I really don't want to see her bored," I said looking at him, "I don't know if I can voice her yet, but she tells me things."

He simply drooped me and then made the most adorable, wounding, pathetic 'I am a puppy getting scolded', look. I wanted to cry. I think I actually sniffled. Then something unexpected happened.

"Be still son. This prison is most entertaining. There are places here...I wish to visit," came a voice from me not my own.

"Oh shit I have turned into Gollum!" I cried.

"You are not bad for...what are you?"

"Internal voice when speaking to me, got it sister," I said.

Fine.

Well I started out human, but unlike the humans here, my ancestors weren't the Ancient Ones. I come from a place called Earth. It is very boring, so I amused myself with playing games and reading...This world just so happens to be a famous place where I am from...Well to cover the high points: I helped a powerful wizard like dude, he ported me to somewhere over the rainbow, I woke up and BAM! I am having adventures with Sephy, Sesshy, and Bya-kun. I was also turned into what Sesshomaru calls a demon, but I still have all my emotions and personality...I am just able to do stuff I wasn't able to before...get it?

I shall recall all your 'adventures' with my son. If I suspect you doing anything...

Yeah yeah...make my life a living hell..Got it.

You are surprisingly quick and intelligent.

-snicker- Oh god...just play back all my memories and see how 'intelligent' I am. Your son would flip if you said that...

Why do you not fear me?

Why should I?

I see you know great detail about me...all that the humans have recorded...but..yet.

Okay just color me abnormal...I am not right in the head...You will figure that out while watching my memories...Hey there are some good movies in there too if you want to recall the ones I know by heart.

"What is she saying?" asked Sephiroth.

"We are getting to know one another," I said, "Hey stop that. Already we are connecting. Most unusual specimen. I am not a lab experiment, though you are making me sound awfully crazy."

I placed my hands behind my head and wondered if the inside intruder could do more than change my voice and speak through me...That was a scary thought. Though I managed to keep her entertained, that was a plus. Who knew that I would get on splendidly with Jenova...who knew she could actually be pleasant. Though I doubt the distraction would last. Knowing her she was already plotting her escape.

Hey ladies upstairs.

Yes?

She can't take control can she?

Your will has to be stronger than hers.

Perfect. Okay so she is distracted for now...how come she is so...placid?

She is very weak from the Lifestream coming to your aid. It will take her some time before she is able to gather strength. If you can manage to contain her, and keep her from gathering would be most greatful.

Alright. So for each week I keep her distracted and happy, can you do me a favor?

No.

Well couldn't have hurt to ask.

Letting you keep Sephiroth alive is dangerous enough. No telling what a creature like you can do if we grant you anymore favors.

I am not asking to be a god. I just want Sephy to be happy. Maybe let his friends see him...

Would that work?

I am not sure. I will have to ask him. He may not want to.

They defected.

Yeah and ShinRa were the ones who made him hunt them down and kill them. So...as long as I keep him away from ShinRa, we should be cool. Anyways I gotta jet and get somewhere.

:This is Aerith.:

'Sup pinky.

:I don't think revealing Sephiroth to him is a good idea.:

Well that boy is itching to find out something..he needs a rematch to figure out he isn't alone and has stuff to protect. Though I am hoping for more peaceful resolutions and stuff.

:Would you be able to stop them if things got out of hand?:

With Jenova in me, I am sure I can manage. Cloud still has her cells, so not that I would use them unless nessicary. I would just use my Aura to separate them...ah thanks for reminding me.

:About what?:

Sephy can do the same...I gotta keep him from doing it.

:Why do you care about him?:

Why do you care about Cloud. The feelings and hopes for someone can't be explained so you just wish them the best and support them. He has become a really good friend, though he is a bit of an ass.

:You know. I think things will be alright.:

You know, I think I might like you a little more.

By the time I was finished talking with Aerith, I found myself at 7th Heaven. I looked around and saw Sephy not too far away. I opened the door and began to witness the unfolding of an akward moment. Cloud was already there, along with Byakuya, and both were in the middle of an arguement. I wasn't sure what was going on but when they saw me walk through the door, they quickly seperated and sat on the other ends of the bar.

"So, do I want to know?" I said before the song "Gay Bar" stuck in my head making me laugh.

"No," said Byakuya flatly.

"Why are you here?" asked Cloud.

"Extending the personal invitation to Tifa...then stealing her phone and calling people," I said tucking my hands in my back pockets.

"Is she serious?" asked Cloud.

"Unfortunately yes," said Byakuya pinching the bridge of his nose.

"Who is this?" asked Tiffa.

"Tiffa!" I said now holding my arms up to hug her, "How ya been?"

"I am sorry do I know you?" she asked.

"Kinda..." I said looking away, "So there is this party and I want you to come, kids are welcome too."

"Cloud?" she asked turning to him.

"I invited him but he has to be Mister Wallflower...So I thought, perhaps taking your phone, making a few calls, all of you would come," I said.

"You admit to wanting to steal?" she asked.

"Well wanting and doing are sooo different...believe me," I said catching a slight twitch out of the corner of my eyes, Byakuya shifting in his chair.

"Why do I have a feeling you aren't telling us something?" she asked.

"Because you are spot on," I said snapping my fingers and pointing at her, "Before you jump to conclusions and try to make me a new stain on this floor. I am not up to no good. I am up to much good. The party is to get Cloud to smile. Cross my heart."

"Why would you want him to smile?" she asked, "Cloud are you in trouble?"

"No ma'am he isn't. I just thought that he needed a boost. He looks a bit off," I said, "Well with that I gotta track down the rest of your former team."

"Why are you doing this?" asked Cloud as he got up from his seat.

"Because I can. I wished for it. Belive me it hasn't been all roses and frolics," I said turning away and heading out the door, "But I promise. If you come you will find what you are looking for."

Will he come?

I don't know..I can hope. If not, I can get your son to contact him..He will most defiantly come then.

But he will be hostile.

I better get some Green Materia then. Know where a good stash is? Other than the church.

I might...

River: I know short chapter, but I was rushed off the computer and I wanted to get this done before I gave it up. Next chapter will be pretty hilarious...so stay tuned.
