Barret sait impatiently in the waiting room of the Midgar Hospital. Then he seen the doctor come out.
"Barret Wallis. The one who brought Ms. Lockheart in...?"
"Ova here." The doctor walked in slowly.
"Well..." started the doctor.
"Spit it out!!"
"Okay, well, we were able to pump the pills out, and you can bring her home. We'll give you a call later... about the suicide attempt."
"Thank the Lerd!"
"Oh, and let her rest in bed for... two days."
"Gotcha!" Tifa walked out, sulking and dazed.
"Barret..."
"Lets go home, Tifa." It was dark out, maybe 12am when Tifa got home...
"I'd better go."
"Wheres Cloud, Barret?"
"He might be in there, he went off after that bastard."
"Oh.. then he probably isnt in there."
"I'll be by later, Tifa, I'm sorry I have to leave."
"Don't worry. Bye." Tifa walked in the door. Her idea to save Cloud had failed miserably. What was she to do now?
~~~***~~~
When Cloud had gotten home, he hated himself for everything he had ever done. The love of his life, Tifa was dead, and... the daughter of Sephiroth. He was confused. He was depressed. He lied on the bed and cried.
~~~***~~~
When Tifa entered the living room, she was positive Cloud wasn't home. He was maybe dead. She would go out after him. She still felt dizzy though... Perhaps she would go find him anyway. She walked into the bedroom and took off her boots, she would get dress in warm clothes, since it was raining. She turned when she heard sobbing.
"Cloud?!" Cloud looked up.
"Tifa!!!!" He jumped off the bed and held her, giving her kisses and whispering how much he loved her.
"Oh, Cloud... I was so afraid you were dead..." Tifa murmured with tears in her eyes.
"I knew you were dead... but I was wrong... I'm so glad I was wrong..." They stayed like that, talking, kissing, hugging for another half hour.
"Cloud...? What happened when you went to see him?" Should he tell her that she was the daughter of Sephiroth? Did she already know? Was it true!? "Cloud, what is it?"
"Tifa... the man said something about you... I don't even know if its true... but, he is dead now... so no more worries for you, my love." He stroked her hair, and Tfa looked up.
"What did he say?"
"He said... he said you were the daughter of Sephiroth..."
"Cloud... what?"
"Yeah..."
"How do we know for sure?"
"Blood test, I guess, we will see if you have any of the chemicals..."
"Cloud, I'm scared. This can't be true!! No... My mother... my father." She rushed over to the nightstand and opened a draw, and took out a framed picture, it was her mother.
"Cloud, don't I look like her?! Please tell me I do!"
"You do... but its your father... thats who I am concerned about."
"Sephiroth killed my father... He... he... did."
"I know... why?"
"Cause I am Sephiroths daughter... I must be."
"I'll take you for a blood test tommarow... lets get some sleep, alright...?"
"Okay, Cloud." Well, they went to bed, and Tifa didnt have any nightmares, and Cloud was happy just holding her, and watching her sleep, then he fell asleep.
~~~***~~~
Cloud and Tifa headed for the hospital, and had her taken in for a blood test. They got the sample of her blood, and took it done to the lab. They found traces of Mako in her blood.
"Cloud Strife. We have the results."
"Yeah?" He looked over at Tifa who was sleeping on a chair next to him.
"Well, we found... some Mako in her blood. It seems she is related to Sephiroth. I have orders to assasinate her."
"Wait!! did you say assassinate!?"
"Sure did. Well, I'll take her out into the back now."
"No! You will do no such thing!" Yelled Cloud. By now the waiting room had been emptied, as it was approaching dinner time.
"And why not!?"
"Because she still is a human being! She is one of the best human beings I know, and should you take her away from me, you WILL regret it!!" Tifa stirred and opened her eyes. She stood up, yawning and smiled lightly. She walked over to Cloud.
"Why are you yelling?" She asked. Cloud looked into her deep brown eyes. She was so innocent. She didn't deserve to be treated like this. Not at all.
"Tifa... they found Mako in your blood...and.."
"They, they did?!"
"Yes, we did. And now I will proceed to *put you to sleep*." Said the doctor.
"Cloud?! Cloud... Do I have to...? I mean, isn't there anything you can do?"
"No! Tif, you don't have to do anything!" He turned to the doctor. "You! This isn't Tifa's fault! So, unless you want to die, you keep your mouth shut about this! You understand?"
"I... uh, yes, sir." The doctor turned away.
"Now... Tifa, I'm not sure what this means..."
