NA: Hoshi ni Negai o
"Tiamatt! Come on you gotta go!" Hiro said, his eyes pleading. "No." Tiamatt reponded. Tiamatt, Hiro, Cloud, Tifa, and Aya were all in the bar. Hiro was begging Tiamatt to go to the big ball the WRO was throwing, and Tiamatt was refusing. "Tiamatt you have to come! Please! This may be the last dance of your entire life!" Hiro said, begging. "Hiro there is no way ever I will go to a ball! I don't have anyone to go with anyway." Tiamatt said. Aya reamined quiet, she also didn't have a date for this 'dance'. Cloud was taken Tifa of course. Cloud sighed, and put his hand to his head. "Hiro you don't have a date either so I wouldn't annoy Tiamatt." Cloud said, making Hiro look at him in shock. "Dammit you are right..." Hiro muttered, turning away. Then he made a smile. "I can take-" Aya turned her total attention to Hiro, hoping it was her. "Yuffie." Hiro said, making Aya look away. "I think Reeve set her up with someone, I don't know why. At first she was against it, but then Reeve gave her a trunk load of materia. You know how she acts when materia is involved." Cloud said, making Hiro look down. "Oh.." Tiamatt thought to herself, and a small smirk crossed her face. Thank you Reeve. She nudged Aya with her elbow, making her turn to her. She mouthed 'Ask him to go.' which made her shake her head, to embarss. Tiamatt sighed, then mouthed something that made Aya appear scared. Tiamatt smirked, then pointed at Hiro. Aya sighed, and nodded.
"Hiro." Hiro turned to her. "Yea?" Hiro asked, looking at the teal-haired girl. "Would you like to go with me?" Aya asked, for once not stuttering. Hiro smiled a bit. "Okay Aya, I'll go with you." Hiro said, making her face light up. "Really?" She said, surprised. "Yea, is that a problem?" Hiro asked. "No not at all!" She said. "Well Aya, you and I could go meet up with the rest of the gang to shop." Tifa said, making Aya turn her attention to her. "Okay." She said, smiling. "I'll go to..I may need a suit.." Hiro muttered, getting up. "I'll go to. I'll meet you all later, I need to talk to Tiamatt." Tiamatt may have isolated herself from most of them, but Cloud needed to ask her this. "Alright Cloud." Hiro said, walking out the door with Aya and Tifa. After they were out of earshot and eyesight, Cloud sighed. "You set this up." Cloud pointed out making Tiamatt nod. "Hiro deserves a better girl then that materia girl. She would give him up for materia. You know it." Tiamatt actually answered Cloud for the first time since returning. "Void could most likely manipulate her." Cloud shook his head. "I doubt that.." Cloud said, while Tiamatt stood up. "I just want the best for my brother."
"Hiro call Kadaj, ask him where they are." Tifa said, making Hiro nod. He took out his cellphone, which he bought after the battle with Orude. It was a black razor, and he opened it up. This was his first actual time using it. He dialed Kadaj's number, and put it up to his ear. "Hiro? So you are alright!" said a very relived and hyper voice. "Kadai? What are you doing with Kadaj's phone?" Hiro asked, but he heard groaning in the background. "Are you making all the guys carry your stuff?" Hiro asked. "Not just them, Yuffie to!" Hiro sighed, putting his hand up to his head. "Are you serious?" He asked, making Aya look at him. "You guys go ahead, I will catch up. Get somewhere where we can talk in private." Hiro nodded, but he had to ask them where they were. "Where are you guys at? You and I can talk at the gate of Edge." Hiro said. "We are at Edge's central mall. I'll tell them to meet them there." Kadai hung up.
"You two go ahead to Edge's central mall. I need to talk to Kadai in private." Hiro said. "Alright, we will see you later. Come on Aya." Tifa said, waving her hand foward. Aya nodded, and she walked off with Tifa. But she did not pay attention to Tifa before they were out of eyesight of Hiro, who was walking off in the other direction. Hiro walked pasted many people, and then he noticed. Why not teleport? But that would be to risky, one of these people were sure to be a demon. Hiro knew Void had spies, watching him. Void wouldn't just Hiro have peace. Hiro sighed as he walked to the gate, and then he saw Kadai, who was leaning against it. "Took you long enough." Hiro noticed she had a new motorcycle, and he shook his head. "You used a motorcycle." Hiro said, walking past her. They both were out of earshot of anyone, and Kadai sighed. "Why do you care so much for that girl? She isn't special." She said. "You have no idea." Hiro said. "Oh I know how she is special, she has a specialty in breaking a person's heart." Kadai said, almost ready to release her anger.
"How then Kadai?" Kadai gritted her teeth. "She broke yours!" She yelled throwing her fist, trying to hit him. Hiro quickly caught it. They both looked at each other, green orbs in blue. Hiro looked down, his eyes were covered by his blonde hair. "You're right. But I will never give up on her." Hiro said. "Oh really!? She gave you up for a trunk full of materia! I would never do that to Yazoo!" She just openly admitted she loved Yazoo, but right now, she really didn't care. She cared to much about Hiro's problem. Hiro didn't seem to mind either. She was about to kick him, but she noticed Hiro's face. Out of his eyes were tears, and he sniffed. Kadai removed her fist, and she looked down. She put her right hand on her left arm, and turned away. "So..are you going to the ball?" She asked, trying to recover the damage she has put on him. "Yea with Aya." Hiro said, wiping the tears off. Mentally Kadai was screaming yes, but on the outsdide she just replied with a 'Oh.' There was silence between them, and Kadai finally spoke. "Hiro..I'm sorry."
Hiro shook his head. "It's alright." Kadai smiled a bit. "I just really care about you though Hiro. You're one of the greatest guys I know, you're one of my best friends." Kadai said, rubbing the back of her head. Hiro smiled at the comment, but he stopped when he felt something. "Hiro? What's wrong?" Kadai asked. Hiro shook his head. "Go on, I'll meet you later." Hiro said. Kadai wondered what was wrong. "Hiro tell me whats wrong." Kadai said, but Hiro shook his head. "I'm fine." Hiro said. "Just go on, Ziran needed to talk to me anyway." Hiro said, and Kadai eyed him. "Alright.." She said, turning around. "You just call me if you need anything." She said, walking away. Hiro waited until she was out of his eyesight, and he sighed. He turned around, closed his eyes, and opened his right hand. In a blink of a eye, Nagareboshi appeared in his hand. He didn't move, his eyes still closed. He waited for a attack, but nothing came. He turned around and walked off, but a demon appeared directly behind him. It was clothed like a assaissn, and he had a knife.
It tried to stab Hiro, but Hiro turned around and slashed it's head clear off. Out of nowhere, twenty of them came, each holding a sword. "Our Lord wants to see if you let your guard down at all even though his powers were sealed up. I guess not." said the one dressed in black cloth, while the rest were not. Hiro prepared himself. "I knew he was going to send something for me, it's not like I am stupid. Remember you foolish demons, Void was once within me." Hiro said. One of them growled. "How dare you speak of our Lord with his name! You shall die!" It tried to charge, but another hit him back. "Quiet fool! You forgot he is a Seraph! He could kill you in a instant!" It said, making the other one nod. "Tch, he doesn't look that tough." It mocked, but Hiro narrowed his eyes, making it shake in fear. "Since you fools are still alive, I want to know...what is that foolish Void planning?" Hiro did mock Void, because he knew a demon, which was at that moment, get angry and charge at him. Hiro easily caught it, and he put Angel's Nagareboshi near his neck. The demon shook in fear. "Tell me." Hiro said, not near the demon, but the blade was at it's neck.
"I-I will never t-tell you!" It said, scared for it's life. Hiro shook his head, the steel blade for some reason hissing on his neck. "You fool! Even though you have the legendary blade of your kind can kill him in a instant, he will never tell you!" said another, and Hiro sighed. "Fine." Hiro muttered, slashing the neck open. The demon screamed, green blood pouring from the wound. The others smirked, enjoying to see another dead. Such cold-hearted creatures. Enjoying to see their own kind die. Hiro remembered Galn's word. After the last scream was heard from the demon, which was already on the ground, trying to get the blood to stop by holding his hands to the wound, died while laying on the ground. Hiro glared at the others, and he pointed his blade at the one in black cloth. "You're next." Hiro said, about to charge, but then stopped to see a knife flying past and stabbing on of them in the head. Hiro noticed what the knife looked like. "Well Sir Hiro, it seems your vacation had to have some fights..that sucks." said a voice. Hiro didn't have to turn around to know who that was.
"I agree Keigo." Hiro said, while Keigo, Kuni, and Samad walked up beside of him. "When are they getting here Kuni?" Keigo whined, making her glare at him. "When they want to you-!" She stopped when she heard laughing. "Well well well, if it isn't Keigo? What have you been doing buddy?" Hiro looked up to see a man with brown hair, and he had the normal white robes on. In his hand was a spear. The spear was a white iron spear, while the tip of it gold. The man jumped down, and he had green eyes. "Ah! Aku, what's up?" Keigo said, walking up to his friend. Aku then noticed Hiro, and got on one knee. "Sir Hiro, it is a pleasure to meet you." He said, trying to sound respectful. "It is a pleasure to meet you as well Aku." Hiro said, waving his hand, telling him to get up. Aku did as showed, and he looked at Samad. "Samad, come on! You can at least greet me!" Samad just sighed. "Hello." He said, while Kuni smiled. "You know Samad, he always is speechless to see someone he hasn't seen in a long time!" Aku was about to laugh, and Samad just glared at her, but a voice spoke. "Oh is that right?"
Hiro looked backwards to see another warrior with a hood on. Hiro looked at the warrior up and down, and the warrior took off the hood. It was a woman. She had long light brown, and her eyes were a yellow-green. She was beuatiful, Hiro had to admit. "Then I guess I will make him speak then.." The woman said, going up to him and jumping on his back, hugging him. "Hello Samad!" She said, making Samad groan. "Mika! Show some respect for Sir Hiro!" Kuni said, growling while pointing at Hiro. "Oh! I'm so terribly sorry!" She said, without any sarcasm. She bowed. "My name is Mika, it is a honor." She said, and Hiro smiled. "It is nice to meet you to." Hiro said, making Mika to smile. While they talked among themselves, the demons growled. "Why you fools dare ignore us!?!" screamed the black clothed one. They all turned to them, and Hiro sighed. "Sorry..I forgot to let you join your friend." Hiro said, making the it gulp. Hiro appeared in front of it, and stabbed it. It cried in pain, and Hiro saw the others charging at him. Hiro took the body and swung it at them, making them fall to the ground.
Hiro then noticed only one was left, and Hiro sighed when he saw him grinning at the dead bodies. Hiro teleported right behind it. "You may be one." Hiro said, slashing it's head clean off. The rest of them stared in awe, while Hiro cleaned the blade of the blood. "What?" Hiro asked. "You took down twenty assaissn demons in a couple of minutes..." Mika said, while Keigo laughed. "That's our leader!" Keigo said, laughing. "So are you all the warriors I need to-" But Mika interruped him. "Nope!" She said. Hiro's eyes widened. "What?" Kuni laughed at her leader's face. "Yes Sir Hiro, there are more then us. We will meet them at the ball." She said, but Hiro looked even more surprised. "You all-" Samad interruped him. "No Sir Hiro, we will meet you outside of the ball, and we will introduce the others." Samad said. Keigo, still smiling, reached over and put his left arm around Samad's neck. "Yea, it'll be cool! We will get to see the others!" Samad's eye was twitching. "What have I told you about touching me Keigo?"
aRa
"Where is he?" Ara said. Aya, Kadai, Tifa, Aeris, and herself were shopping for dresses for the ball, and Hiro was suppose to be there with the guys. "I don't know myself Ara, I talked to the idoit but he didn't tell me what was wrong." Kadai said, looking for a dress to wear. Aeris was helping Aya sort through them. "Maybe this one?" Aeris said, picking up a red dress. She scanned Aya for a second, then shook her head. "No." Aeris said, putting it back. Tifa, who was helping, couldn't help but smile when she thought of something. "You know..find one that would match her hair." Tifa said, making Aeris nod. "Yea that's a good idea Tifa. A teal or blue dress..hmm..I'll go look around." Aeris said, walking off. "Umm..She doesn't have to..she should look for her own dress." Aya said, but Tifa laughed. "Don't worry about it Aya. Aeris wears pink, so somehow, she found a pink dress." Ara couldn't help but snicker. Aeris threatened the woman who had the dress before she did. "Well..okay." Aya said, and she started to look around with Tifa. Ara smiled, but Kadai poked her shoulder. "I found some black dresses we can wear!" Kadai said, showing her two dresses she had.
"That's great! I'm sure Yazoo and Kadaj will like it!" But then she notcied. "What about..Loz?" She asked, and Kadai laughed. "He's going alone, you know Loz. He is always embarss to ask a girl out." Kadai said, making Ara laugh as well. Ara then turned around to tell Aya, but then noticed she was looking away. "Aya? What's wrong?" Tifa was already gone to the dressing room, while Aeris bombared the store. "What if Hiro doesn't like what I am going to wear to the ball..." Aya muttered, while Ara shook her head. "No, Hiro isn't like that Aya. I'm sure he'll love it." Ara said, but Aya still looked down. She noticed a bit of fear in her eyes. "You're afraid of something else aren't you?" Kadai suddenly ran up to her. "What is it Aya?" She said, while Ara put her hand on her good friend's shoulder. "It's two things. What if..he..releases.." Kadai knew what she was about to say. The battle between Jenova and Demon Hiro still terrified her. "He wouldn't let that happen. Knowing Hiro, he would fight it all he could." Aya nodded. "What was the other thing Aya?" Ara asked. Aya looked down and muttered something, and Ara didn't hear. "What was it? I couldn't hear."
"I don't know how to dance."
Ara just giggled. "Tiamatt, Kadai, and I can teach you. I'm sure we can help." Ara reasured her, making her nod. "You okay now?" Ara asked. "Yes, thank you Ara." Aya said, smiling. "There we go!" Kadai said, winking at her. They were about to look more, but then a man appeared out of nowhere. "Hello ladies, you all going to the big ball tonight?" asked the man, making Kadai to glare at him. "Yea, what's it to you?" Kadai growled. "Well, I heard your friend here looking for something to wear..maybe I can help. I'm dateless, she's dateless, so maybe-" But Kadai interupped. "Oh she is not dateless." Kadai said. "Oh really? Who's the guy she's going with? I bet I am more of a man then he is." The man mocked. Kadai was about to attack, the man about to jump back, but she stopped and smiled. "Could you beat the guy up?" The man smirked. "Oh yea, I could." He said, putting his hand on Aya's back. He was moving it downwards, but then he heard a voice. "I dare you to touch her there." Aya looked over to see Hiro, his fist clentched. "Who's this?"
"I'm the man who is going with her." Hiro said, walking up to him. They were both the same height. "Oh really? Well, I bet I could beat you in a fight, then this girl will crawl to me." He said, moving the hand downwards. It was on her waist, but the next thing he knew the arm he was touching Aya with was up in the air, and Hiro had his hand holding it. "Now..you said you can beat me in a fight? Maybe you heard of me." Hiro said, making the man laugh. "Oh sure, and I'm Sephiroth." Hiro laughed. "You know, if my sister heard that, she would kill you. By the way, my name is Hiro Aoyama." The man's eyes widened. "The man who fought Sephiroth, and then came back from the dead?" Hiro sighed. "Yes, and I also defeated the demon who was trying to rule the world by using the WRO now goodbye." Hiro said, twisting the man's wrist. It cracked, and Hiro threw him out of the store. "MY WRIST!" Was the last words the man screamed. Hiro turned to Aya, his eyes filled with worry. "Aya, are you okay?" Aya nodded. "Yes." But then Hiro sighed. "Why did you let him touch you? Why didn't you slap him?" He wasn't being mean. "I knew..you would come though." Aya said. Ara snickered, knowing Aya wanted him to save her.
"Well good thing Tiamatt isn't here. I'm sure she would kill him though."

"Well, we got a hour before the ball..and Reeve still hasn't told us what it was about!" Barret said, taking a drink of beer. The guys were in the bar, each in their own tux. Hiro's hair was still out, while Vincent was the only one not going. "Hiro put your hair up." Zek said. "What? Why!?" Hiro said, angry. Xen sighed. "Hiro, you want to look good for Aya right?" Hiro didn't answer, but then he felt his hair was getting put up. His hair was now in a ponytail. He turned to growl who did it, to see it was Tiamatt. "The ponytail may not be very long, but it is aleast up." Tiamatt said. Hiro felt it, and it wasn't very long. Though his hair still was in his eyes, Hiro knocked them away to reveal his blue eyes. "Tiamatt, just incase you want to go, a dress is upstairs for you. Kadai made sure you got your right size." Hiro said, and Tiamatt nodded, though she didn't want ago. "Large is the size."
BAM!
Hiro held his head, and he was screaming "OW!" over and over. "I WAS KIDDING!" Hiro said, and Tiamatt growled. "Besides Tiamatt, that isn't your weight, that's Arxen." Arxen turned to his bestfriend. "What?!" Hiro just laughed a bit, and Tiamatt sighed. "Save the insults for Void, he may need them." Tiamatt didn't really expect this answer. "Yea, I guess I could throw some in." Tiamatt just smiled. Then there was a knock on the door, and Hiro walked up to it. He opened it to see a brown haired man in a suit, holding some flowers. "Is Yuffie Kisaragi here?" The man asked. Hiro then noticed the insigna on his suit. WRO. "Yes..come on in." Hiro said, secretly about to beat the guy up. Tiamatt noticed this, and she tapped his shoulder. He turned to her, and shook her head. He sighed then nodded. "What's your name?" Arxen asked. "Gonjo." He said. They all told him hello, besides Hiro, who scoffed. Arxen noticed this, and he elbowed him. He mouthed 'Don't worry.' and Hiro nodded. "So Gonjo, you know what this is all about?" Arxen asked, while Hiro was steaming.
"Reeve wanted to annouce it there." Gonjo said. He felt a bit nervous, Hiro could tell. "Alright." Arxen said. "You hear that Hiro?" Arxen asked, trying to make Hiro feel better. "Yea." Hiro said. Tiamatt shook her head, and she hit Hiro in the arm. "Ow." Hiro said, grabbing the arm. He then glared at Tiamatt, who mouthed 'Play nice brat.' Hiro sighed, and nodded. "I really wanted to go with Miss Kisaragi." Gonjo admited, making Hiro grit his teeth. "I met her a month ago. She is really kind, smart.." He started a random rant about her, while everyone kinda laughed at the smart part. "And most of all..beuatiful. Beuaty is one of the most important things in a woman right?" Gonjo said. "No." Hiro responded. "Hm?" Hiro sighed. "Beuaty..it is suppose to be inner. You should really care about the inside of them, not the outside. I learnt that." Hiro said, making everyone blink in suprise. "Hiro..that was pretty werid." Arxen said, and Hiro rubbed the back of his head. "Really?" But there was a knock at the door. "I'll get it." Zack said, but Gonjo shook his head. "I'll get it." He said, walking up to the door. He opened it, and gasped. He fell backwards, revealing the guest. Tiamatt's eyes widened, and Hiro sighed.
"Sephiroth."
Sephiroth walked into the bar, wearing a tux. His long silver hair was made nice. Cloud was about to lung at him, but Hiro held him back. "Don't do it. He has changed. He helped me with Tax a while back." Cloud just scoffed, but he did trust Hiro. Sephiroth was walking up to Tiamatt. "Tia." He said, standing infront of her. "Would you..honor me of coming to the ball with me?" But Tiamatt was automaclly up the stairs, which surprised everyone. "Umm..." Kadaj blinked. "Well that was strange." Hiro said. "Agreed." Yazoo said. "So Sephiroth." Hiro said, and he turned to him. "Yes?" Sephiroth asked. "Shall we tell them?" Sephiroth nodded. They bothed explained how Sephiroth was being manipulated by Jenova, and everyone kept a eye on him. Cloud still looked angry, but trusted Hiro anyway.
"Hey guys."
Cloud looked up to see Tifa, who was dressed in a black dress. His eyes widened. Hiro saw this, and smirked. "Well, Cloud getting cold feet?" Hiro mocked, but Cloud ignored him. Tifa walked down the stairs, and stood beside of Cloud. Aeris came down, wearing a pink dress, which didn't surprise Hiro. Rachel came down, wearing a blue dress along with Larsina. Shera came down, wearing a strange white dress, but Cid just smiled. Shelke came down as well, wearing a blue dress, but she was mad that Larsina got to go with Arxen while she went with Barret, who said he wouldn't bother her. Yuffie also came down, wearing a yellow dress, the same one she wore with Damen. She and Hiro made eye contact, but she stood near Gonjo, who was talking to her. Hiro then noticed something. "Where is Aya, Tiamatt, Kadai, and Ara?"
Upstairs
Tiamatt sighed, but she had the dark blue dress on. She didn't want to go at first, but something triggered when Sephiroth came. She just felt happy, then annoyed. Then there was a knock on her door. "Come on in." In came Aya, who was still dressed in her regular clothes. "Aya? What's up?" Tiamatt asked. "Umm...could you help me?" Aya asked, holding out something that Tiamatt hated to see her with..a make-up kit. Tiamatt sighed. "Kadai! Ara!" The two came in quickly. "Aya needs our help, you wouldn't mind?" Tiamatt asked. Ara smiled. "Ok! Let's make you beuatiful for Hiro!" Kadai smirked. "Alright, let's get to it!" Aya nodded.
Downstairs
Hiro sighed as they all waited, he was sitting down. What could be taking them so long? Jeez..Tiamatt better not be all giddy because Sephiroth is here. ..Wait, I doubt she would ever get giddy. B- "Hey!" Hiro looked up to see Kadai, Ara, and Tiamatt, who were all dressed in their dresses, though Tiamatt didn't look very happy. "Where is Aya?" Hiro asked, still sitting down but looking worried. "Oh she is here. Aya come on! Don't be shy!" Kadai said. Out of the corner, came out Aya, who was wearing a light blue dress. She was wearing make-up, which made her look way more beuatiful. Hiro, out of shock, stood up. He was shocked by Aya's beuaty, while Arxen's mouth dropped. "H-Hiro is lucky.." Arxen said, shocked. Aya walked down the stairs alongside with Tiamatt, and she mumbeled in her ear. "Is it to much?" She asked Tiamatt, who shook her head. "No, it's fine. I think Hiro really likes it." Aya blushed. Yuffie, angry and full of envy, cracked her knuckles. So Hiro falls for some make-up? Wow! So what?! ...But why am I jealious?
"Now can we go?" Kadaj said, tired of waiting. Ara slapped him in the back of the head. Everyone else laughed.

"Welcome! Welcome!" said Reeve, welcoming all the guest. When Hiro came up, Reeve smiled. "Ahh, the special guest." Hiro smiled, and he held out his hand. Reeve shook his hand, and he looked at everyone else. "Welcome! I am so glad you all came! I hope you have a fun time!" Reeve said, making everyone nod. "Now go on in." He said. The ballroom was huge, like a palace. The floor was beuatifully designed, and the ceiling was clouds. Many people were dancing to the music, while others were at the food table. Gonjo turned to Yuffie, and bowed. "Would you like to dance?" Yuffie, wanting to make Hiro envious, nodded. Hiro clentched his fist, but Tiamatt and Sephiroth walked up to him. "I was never of fan of these." Sephiroth said. "I agree." Tiamatt said. "Let's go outside." Sephiroth said, making Hiro give a glare at him he took from Tiamatt. "J-Just to talk!" Sephiroth said, while Tiamatt laughed. Sephiroth took her hand and took her outside, while Hiro just sighed. He looked to everyone else, who were gone. Aya was the only one there. But then she walked off, possibly to join Kadai and the others. Hiro was about to follow, but someone grabbed onto his shoulder.
Hiro turned to see Reeve, who cocked his head to the balcony up above them. Hiro nodded, and he followed Reeve up. When they made it to the top, Reeve smiled. "You must be wondering what this is about." Hiro nodded. "Totally curious." He said, making Reeve chuckle. "Before you all came, I told them of the God of Demons. Also, I told them that you all are our only hope." Reeve said, making Hiro gasp. "Seriously?" Reeve smile, and nodded. "So this whole thing is for us?" Hiro asked. "Of cou-" But Reeve was cut off by a voice. "Sir Hiro." Reeve and Hiro turned to see only Aku. "Aku? Where are the others?" Hiro asked. "We heard what this was actually about, so we decided not to come. We will meet you tomorrow." Aku said, nodding towards Hiro. "Thank you for the information. You are excused." Aku smiled and nodded. He then disappeared. Reeve looked at Hiro. "Who-?" But Hiro shook his head. "Everything will be explained tomorrow. Let's just have some fun."
Reeve nodded. Hiro and Reeve then walked back down the staris. Hiro shook Reeve's hand, and Reeve walked off. Hiro then noticed Kadaj and Arxen were walking up to him. When they made it, Kadaj patted his back. "Pretty great huh?" Kadaj said. "Yea, besides Aya..somethings up with her." Hiro said, while Arxen nodded. "I noticed." He said. Kadaj sighed. "Come on! It's a party! So don't worry about everything!" said Kadaj. "I heard that they are going to play a song where couples have to get on the floor." said Arxen, while Hiro sighed. "What song?" Hiro asked. "Well, actually, some people have to choose. Maybe you can choose one." Arxen said. Hiro smiled. "Well, there is one. It may not fit with a romantic setting. Someone sung it to me when I was a small boy." Hiro said, remembering the soothing voice. "What song was it?" Kadaj asked. "Wind." Hiro said, smiling. "Well, I'm not surprised that the person sung it to you." Arxen said, remembering hearing the song himself.
Hiro sighed. "Yea..not much people hear that song anymore." Hiro said, scratching the back of his head. "Hey guys." Someone was walking up to them, and Hiro turned to see Cloud, who was blushing horribly. "Dude what's wrong?" Arxen asked, and Cloud looked down. "I want to ask Tifa to marry me." He said, making them all gasp, but then smile. "Alright!" Kadaj said, and Arxen patted his back. "Good job. I hope she will accept-" But then he noticed that one thing was missing. "You need a ring." Cloud sighed, and nodded. "I need one.." Hiro looked at Tifa, who was hanging out with Aeris, Tifa, Rachel, and Larsina. Hiro made eye contact with Yuffie once, but he turned away. He didn't want to ruin her date, even though he loved her.
Outside, Tiamatt and Sephiroth were talking. "You know, Hiro has fufilled that promise he made you." Sephiroth said, making Tiamatt look at him. "Promise?" It's been awhile, and all the stress made her forget, but Hiro wouldn't blame her. He probaley forgot about it as well. "That he would become as strong as me." Sephiroth said, looking at the sky. Tiamatt suddenly remembered, and she smiled. "Yea, he has come a long road." Tiamatt said. Sephiroth kept looking at the sky, then he smirked. "You know, I know Aya loves Hiro. So how about this..we get a song to make them dance? I heard about the song that will play and every couple has to get out there and dance. So why not?" He said, and Tiamatt nodded. "Yea, that's a good idea." Tiamatt said, but then she heard Reeve. "Everyone! Everyone!" Tiamatt grabbed Sephiroth, who sighed, and they both walked inside.
There was Reeve, atop of the balcony that he and Hiro was on. "I have a annoucement! We will now be dancing in couples, so everyone get with their date!" Hiro started to look around for Aya, and saw her hiding behind of Ara, who was looking for Kadaj. Hiro walked over to her. "Aya, come on! Let's dance." Hiro said, holding out his hand. Ara knew Aya was afraid of something, she just wouldn't admit it. She pushed Aya towards him and walked off. Aya looked down, but took Hiro's hand. They both walked out to the dance floor. Hiro put his hand behind of Aya and placed it on her lower back. Aya placed her left hand on his right shoulder, and they held each other hands. Then the music began, and Hiro suddenly realized what song it was. "It..can't be. Why are they playing it now?" Hiro asked. It was Wind. "What is it Hiro?" Aya asked. "This song, I remember it from when I was younger." He said. They both danced slowly, and they both were good. Hiro noticed everyone besides Barret was dancing, but Shelke danced with a soilder.
Aya looked away from Hiro, who wondered what was wrong. "Aya..what is a matter? You avoided me most of the ball..why?" Hiro asked, feeling guilty. She gulped, but she had to ask. "Hiro, will you..release the third tail?" She asked, making Hiro's eyes widened. "No..I promised to protect you. Remember? I will protect you all." Hiro said, holding Aya's hand tighter. "R-Really?" She said, looking up at him. "Yes. I promise Aya." Hiro said, making her smile. "Thank you Hiro.." She said, and she looked directly into his eyes. Tiamatt and Sephiroth were also dancing, but they both had their eyes on Hiro and Aya, as well as the whole entire gang. Yuffie was angry that she was taking Hiro, and she was about to explode. Hiro spinned Aya, and she was giggling, while everyone stopped dancing. They all made a circle around Hiro and Aya, who were actually pretty good. Ara and Kadai cheered Aya on, while Yuffie was about to go crazy. She was suppose to dance with him, not her.
Hiro and Aya kept dancing, to the beat to the song. Hiro actually sang some of the words, and everyone cheered him on for his voice. "Don't try..to live so wise." He span Aya around, and brought her close again. "Don't cry..cause you're so right." He picked Aya up and span her around while holding her close to him. "Don't dry with fakes or fears." He brought her down and started to dance slow with her again. "Cause you will hate yourself in the end. Cause you will hate yourself in the end. Cause you will hate yourself in the end." Hiro then twirled her away, then twirled her back.
"Cause you will hate yourself in the end.."
The song ended and roars of appaluse was heard through the room. Hiro and Aya smiled at each other, and they bowed towards the audience. But one thing broke the roar out of the appaluse. Yuffie came out of the crowd, directly infront of Aya, and she slapped her with all the force she could muster, making a giant red mark on her face. "You! I was suppose to dance with him!!! Not you!" Yuffie pushed her away, but Aya didn't fight back, afraid that Hiro would hate her for it. Yuffie was about to attack, but someone hit her in the back of the neck, making her fall to the ground. It was Tiamatt, who looked incredibly angry. Hiro looked down, wondering why did that have to happen. "Everyone, I'm sorry for the fight that just happened. You all may return." Tiamatt said, helping Aya. Hiro walked over to Yuffie, and picked her up. Sephiroth looked at them both, and knew that this was a bad time. Tiamatt mouthed something to him, 'I'll be back.'. She then glanced at Hiro, who nodded.

Hiro layed on his bed, wondering why that happened. He sighed, and rolled over. He had to sleep, tomorrow was when he met the rest of Keigo's friends, and he had to work.
