A Flower in Midgar (C2)

Hi people! This is the second part of 'A flower in Midgar'. All these (C2),
(C3) etc. meant chapter something. Let me remind you of last chap, as Zack
and Aerith is in the church, A mysterious figure appears: Tseng......

~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~

"Hi there Aerith....who's that fella?" Tseng asked, three guards appearing
behind him.

"This...is my boyfriend! Yes my boyfriend!" Aerith crossed her arms with
Zack's.

"Wha-!" Zack's mouth was covered by Aerith's hand. Both turned their
backs to the guards and Tseng and whispers.

"I'm not your boyfriend!" Zack whispered aloud.

"I know, just be my bodyguard for now please?"

"But--"

"PLEASE!?"

"Okay........." -_-;

"HEY! What are you two whispering!?" Tseng yelled.

"Just like what do you want to do with me?" Aerith asked innocently.

"We do what we do everyday, try to take over the world-I MEAN
TAKE YOU TO OUR HEADQUARTERS!" Tseng screamed embarrassingly.

"That's from 'The pinky and the brain...." Zack teased.

"Shaddup! Catch them!" Tseng yelled.

The three guards dashed over at the duo, Zack took out his big long sword
from his back. As the guards tries to shoot them, Zack dodged the bullets
with his sword and jumped towards them, hacking away.

Tseng moved forward and took out his gun, aiming for Zack. Luckily Aerith
hit the back of Tseng's head with a broken bottle found on the floor of the
church and Tseng fell over.

"RUN!" Zack cried as soon as he finished the guards and ran outside with
the flower girl.

The two of them ran to a train station and got on a train. As they hurried
inside, they began to calm down and noticed they're the only people in the
room.

"Geez, that was close!" Zack panted.

"I'm sorry about this trouble.." Aerith replied.

"It's fine besides, I'm not in a hurry right now," Zack smiled. "But why are
they after you?"

Silence filled the room. Aerith sat down on a seat and Zack sat beside her.

"Aerith?"

"Can you promise....not to tell anyone?"

"Huh?"

"Please, just promise me, not to tell anyone if you want to know..."

"Okay, I promise!"

"Well... let's see....where to start.... ah yes. I think I was 7 at that time,
Elmyra, my mother......not my real mother......but my stepmother had
adopted me. I think I'm an 'Ancient', not human..."

They entered a tunnel and the room went a bit gloomy.

"Not...human?"

"Yes, not human...'Ancients' are said to be able to find the 'Promise land'."

"Promise..Land? What's that?"

"A land full of happiness I think, the people that are finding me wants
to find this land."

"Why?"

"To find an energy called MAKO. MAKO is the source of the planet; and
the source which people nowadays use for household activites. They
believe that this 'Promise land' contains alot of MAKO..."

"Oh..."

"Anyway, that's the short version of my story. What about your story?"

"My story?"

"Like...what you're here for?"

"I'm a member of SOLDIER in first Class."

"REALLY?"

"Yeah....you sound excited..."

"Oh no, it's just that I'm never in SOLDIER before...what's it like?"

"Tough! And then there's practice everyday, I'm just back from a mission
yesterday and I stumbled on you."

"I think I made you stumbled on me." The couple laughed.

"Hey, about that boyfriend thing...."

"Yeah?"

"I don't mind being your bodyguard from now on...."

"You don't?"

"Nope."

"Thanks Zack!" Aerith threw her arms around him and hugged him. Zack
hugged her too.

In the shinra headquarters-

"Sorry sir, we failed to get the Ancient again." Tseng apologised.

"Oh well, better luck next time then....." Reeve (sp?) answered.

"Also, I spotted she has a bodyguard.."

"Hn?"

"He has a strange glow in his eyes too... is he a member of SOLDIER?"

"Could be, but our mission is to capture that Ancient, clear!?"

"Understood sir!" Tseng left the room and closed the door. "If Reeve doesn't
do anything about that guy.....I will."
