Part two

Chapter twenty-nine

They arrived back at the haunted inn, Tifa leading the way following quickly up the stairs before slamming the girl's room behind her.

Cloud watched her quickly walk away; she was almost running to get away from him. He winced when the door slammed before sighing and entering his room. Cloud looked around to see Cid and Nanaki had joined Barret and Cait sith in sleep. Zack was sitting in the chair he had been earlier and Genesis was talking to Sephiroth on one of the beds.

He sighed and Zack looked up hearing it.

"Hey what's up spiky" he asked.

Cloud shook his head so Genesis tried a different approach

"Where'd you go?" he said leaning back against his pillows. Sephiroth raised an eyebrow, trying to hold his laughter back.

"I was hanging out with Tifa?" Cloud said

Zack and Genesis raised an eyebrow

"That sounded more like a question, are you ok?" Zack said concerned

"Yeah, but Tifa had been trying to tell me something but then ran off before she could finish. The ticket woman told me I was clueless." Cloud shook his head, confused.

Zack and Genesis shared a look before breaking in to laughter. Cloud glared at them before walking to his bed and stripping off his armor. He then buried his head under his pillow, Zack and Genesis still chuckling away. Sephiroth coughed into his hand and said

"Night…great hero Alfred"

Cloud sprang up from his bed, pillow falling to the floor and stared at the chuckling Sephiroth in shock. Zack and Genesis, who had been told the story, started to laugh again and continued laughing till the door opened.

Angeal walked in and stared at the laughing group and the frustrated Cloud. The grin he had supported slipped off and he said

"I don't even want to know" he moved to go to his own bed, his smile slowly returning. Genesis noticed and chuckled to himself.

Cloud laid back down, facing the door and crossed his arms grumbling to himself. The door opened again. The now calm group watched a softly smiling Vincent come into the room. He stared at them before moving to a bed and sat on it, facing away from them. The others in the room blinked. Before they could say anything Vincent whispered

"I was with Yuffie" he said nothing else and the room shared even more shocked looks.

"Maybe we should send those two off together more often" Zack whispered as he lay down in his own bed near Cloud. Cloud just grumbled, rolling over to go to sleep; confused and in a bad mood.

Tifa had entered the girl's room in the mists of Kisala telling Shelk and Aerith a story, they looked up when she entered and raised their eyebrows when she leaned on the door with a sigh.

"You ok Tifa?" Aerith asked and Tifa looked up.

"Yeah, I…" She breathed "I just tried to confess to Cloud."

The girl's smiled but frowned when Tifa plopped down on her bed and placed a pillow over her head

"I take it, it didn't go so well" Kisala said, reaching over and patting the girl's leg. Tifa grumbled under the pillow. Aerith reached over and removed it.

"Don't worry, he's just a little focused right now, once we finish our quest and stop Jenova, you can take all his undivided attention." The Cetra encouraged.

Aerith winked while Tifa blushed heavily.

"How did you get your guys?" Tifa asked after a moment.

Aerith looked at Shelk who glanced at Kisala and said

"He asked me out" Shelk nodded they she was the same. Kisala nodded as well.

Tifa sighed and fell back on the bed.

"So I'm stuck with non-existing relationship with clueless man" she laughed "good for me"

The other three girls sighed but looked up when the door opened and two people walked in. Yuffie, who was bouncing and skipping as she went and Nora grinning like a fool.

Kisala raised an eyebrow as Yuffie tackled her bedding and settled to sleep, in the land of dreams almost instantly.

"Alright," Kisala turned to Nora "what did you do to Angeal and tell me it was still PG" Nora giggled and said

"More like border line PG13" she looked at the groaning Tifa and pointed with a confused look

"Clouds clueless" She made a aw look "now lets get back to you" Kisala said

Nora settled into her bed and grinned

"Angeal, not so clueless" she turned to Tifa "don't worry dear, he'll come around in due time" she grinned "night" then lay down.

The others settled into sleep but Kisala cracked open an eye as the lights went out and grinned madly.

"Goodnight, great princess Rosa, I do hope Prince Alfred saved you from the great dragon king" she giggled seeing Tifa sit up and growl at her.

The others slowly sat up and watched as Tifa stood and proceeded to tackle the laughing Kisala. Shelk listened to the shouts feeling confused.

The boys all sat up in their sleep as they heard yelling and pounding coming from next door. They looked at one another before shaking their heads and lying back down to sleep.

In the morning Cloud was awakened by a frantic Vincent. Cloud looked up at the red eyes confused and sat up groggily.

"What?" he asked as the others sat up in various states of awakens due Clouds voice.

"Cait sith stole something from you" Vincent paused "I saw him heading down stairs with something."

Cloud frowned before diving for his shirt and dug through his pockets. He cursed then stood and shouted

"Cait sith stole the Keystone" the others jumped up and out of bed, besides Zack who got tangled up in his bedding and crashed to the floor.

While the others put on their gear in record time, following Vincent after the robot, Nanaki was sent to awaken the girls.

The wolf paced in front of the door before jumping and slammed his paw on the handle. The door opened wide and he walked in just in time to dodge a knife thrown his way by Kisala. Nanaki blushed a bit as Kisala was only wearing chest bindings and shorts.

"What is it Nanaki" she asked shaking her head to wake up

"Cait sith stole the key stone" he recited the earlier message, getting much the same reaction out of the girls that was gotten out of the boys.

Once dressed, the girls caught up with the boys and began the mad dash around Golden saucer. They had to admit the little robot was fast, and smart. He took crowded passages to slow down the tall and large group while he was able to slip through the people almost unnoticed.

He led them to the battle arena before taking a hard left and vanishing down a shoot, leading them to where they first met before disappearing down the shoot to the Chocobo's. They almost caught him in the Chocobo main lobby when he dove under Zacks feet and went sliding down the stairs, causing Cloud and Barret to crash head first into a stunned Zack.

By the time limbs were untangled and the group made it half way down the steps, A ShinRa helicopter had arrived and the moggle had thrown the keystone to the people inside.

"Here's the Keystone" it shouted.

Just when the stone left its hand, Angeal tackled the moogel, sending Cait sith tumbling off where he rolled. He stopped rolling and looked up into the angry cat eyes of Sephiroth; the silver haired man hovered over him like a dark cloud and ten times more dangerous than any storm.

Kisala and Angeal came to stand next to Sephiroth followed by Zack, Genesis and Cloud. The others hovered in the back ground.

"What should we do with him?" Kisala asked in fake sweetness

"I say we rip his fucking traitorous wires out and feed it to the moogel." Cid said coming to stand near its head. Cid began to reach for the robot when Cait sith jumped into the air and into Shelk's arms. The blind girl stumbled a bit at the added weight now hanging off her

"Now just wait a minute" Cait sith reasoned "I won't run and hide. Yes I was a spy hired by ShinRa." The robot confessed.

Aerith looked at the robot and shook her head

"I trusted you, we trusted you, and I can't believe you" she cried

"I couldn't help it" the cat said he then grinned sheepishly "how about we continue like nothing ever happened" he looked hopeful

The group shared a look and Genesis said

"What fantasy word is programmed into your brain?"

Cloud shook his head and reached for the robot, he picked it up but its cape.

"No way cat" he seethed "you got a lot of guts acting like a friend but being a spy."

Cait sith flailed his arms and said

"What are you going to do, kill me? You'd be wasting your time, this bodies just a toy" Genesis leaned over Cloud and came into the robots vision with a vicious sneer

"Oh really, Reeve" he purred and AVALANCHE looked at him confused

"Who's Reeve" Barret asked as Genesis picked up Cait sith by the cape.

Genesis ignored them for the moment and focused on the person behind the cat.

"You've done a lot of good Reeve" he said "caring about the people in sector seven, hell all of Midgar. Rescuing Zack from death and helping us up till this point" he grinned nastily "so what now I wonder" he began to think

"Alright yes" the robot confessed "I am Reeve, a ShinRa employ," the cats eyes turned to Cloud "something about you all bothers me" it paused "you don't get paid, you don't get praise and yet you still risk your lives and continue your journey. Seeing that makes me…make me think about my life. I don't think I feel too good about how things are in the world right now.

The others grumbled not sure what to say but Cloud said

"He'll never tell the truth, once a spy always a spy" the ex-ShinRa employees stared at the once patent boy in shock.

"Now Cloud" Kisala came forward and placed a hand on the blondes shoulder "you said that about Sephiroth and you were wrong" blue eyes looked away from her.

Cait sith sighed and said

"I knew talking wouldn't work" he paused and something in the cat whirled to life "would you listen to this please"

"Papa, Tifa?" a little voice soon spoke from Cait sith mouth; Tifa and Barret shoved their way to the cat.

"Hey that's Marlene" Barret said looking at the little robot.

The ones that hadn't met the little girl, just listened to the story, shared a look; this little girl's voice was Marlene?

"Hey Papa" Marlene said, the child was probably waving at the mike.

"Is everything ok" Aerith asked the robot

"Oh it's the flower lady" Marlene responded sounding happy "Flower lady…"

Before the child voice could continue, Reeve's voice came back on and said

"You have to do what I say" he threatened and glares were sent his way, what sicko threatens a four year old.

Cloud, wanting to have a talk with the man behind the cat, snatched the cape out of Genesis's grip and growled at its face

"You're the lowest…" he started, growling, his eyes slowly taking a green tint. Sephiroth watched them curious.

The robot shook its head and said

"I didn't want to resort to this, turning to dirty tricks and taking hostages" he sighed "but this is how it is, no compromises. So why don't we continue on as we did."

Cloud growled, his eyes almost bright green and threw the cat onto the ground before storming away. Genesis shook his head at the cat

"Don't think for a moment we'll trust you after this" the cat didn't say anything to him, just climbed back on his moogel. The moogel walked a few feet from the rest of the group

"Today we head for the temple of the ancients, I know where it is, let us continue on are way" it sighed "of course we'll get their after ShinRa but you'll just have to deal with that"

Shelk snorted and walked past the Cat, her fists clenched at her side. The others followed after a moment except Sephiroth and Kisala.

"Reeve" Sephiroth started before shaking his head "I don't know what happened to you, you use to be the only higher up people could turn to" he snorted "I guess ShinRa gets everyone to be like them eventually."

Sephiroth stormed passed the robot who said nothing and Kisala calmly walked past while whispering

"I hope you can live with yourself after this" then she too was gone.

All the way in Midgar; a man with black hair pulled into a pony tail and a growing beard sighed. He wore a blue trench coat like suit with gold outline and blue pants. He placed the robots controller on the panel and covered the mike. Behind him was a little girl with brown hair in style much like the flower girl she had called out to earlier. She glared at the man who cut off her conversation with the entire muster her four year old self could conjure up.

"I hope I can too" he looked at the computer screen through Cait sith's eyes.

After the group had packed all the little belongings they had and checked out of the hotel room, they met in the lobby. Most of the group stood away from the little robot, Barret eyeing him angrily from his chair near Cid.

Vincent stood near the stairs, not looking at the robot but watching Cloud come down the stairs with Zack. The two had been the last one to leave the boys room and they were waiting on them. Once the two boys reached the larger group Cloud sent a cold gaze to Cait sith.

Sephiroth watched Cloud as Cait sith gave them directions to the temple. His eyes were blue again but a green tint was swirling in it, and his pupils seemed more narrow and refined. Much like how his own eyes were. Not for the first time, did he wonder what Hojo do to him and Zack the four years they were locked in his lab.

He shook his head as the others started to file out of the hotel. Kisala gave him a curious look but he shook his head.

They all filed back into the Gondola, most of them giving Cait sith the cold shoulder. The robot didn't seem to mind, just settled in a corner and waited as the machine whirled to life. With a whistle and a little jolt the gondola went through the dark tunnel of the moogle's mouth and through the open air down to the ground.
