Chapter 20: Joining Forces?
Trent found Cid's airship incredibly roomy. A nice change from the cramped quarters of the HQ. Avalanche was keeping a close eye on him and the other Turks, but they had been welcomed aboard--for a short while.
Trent walked by the rooms, carelessly and ran right into Elena.
"Hey watch it asshole!" she yelled as she fell.
"Oh, my apologies." he flashed her his best smile and all other snide remarks were silenced.
"Sorry." she took the hand he offered and blushed. Tifa sure is lucky she thought, hurrying away.
Trent was about to head back when he spotted a familiar woman up ahead. She was unlocking a door and she walked inside.
He quickened his pace and walked to the door. It was open a crack and her saw her turn the TV on and walk inside her bathroom.
Trent grinned wickedly and slipped inside, closing--and locking the door behind him. He heard the shower being turned on and Tifa's humming. He slipped in unnoticed and pulled off his clothing.
Tifa gently washed herself when she felt two strong arms wrap around her waist. She screamed and whirled around to see Trent's laughing face.
"What the hell?" she asked.
"Well, I needed a shower and I just thought we should save water." he replied. She hit him, knowing his real reason and was glad to oblige.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Cloud had called a meeting in the conference room and Trent and Tifa were 20 minutes late. Everyone sat, Turks on one side, Avalanche on the other except for Gemma and Reno who were side by side. Suddenly and laughing Trent and Tifa stumbled in. Everyone stared at them. Their hair was still wet, like they'd been in the shower.
"Sorry I'm late Cloud. I got uh…tied up." Tifa told the blonde leader, blushing.
"Literally." Trent said.
Tifa and sat down. Trent remained standing, leaning against the wall.
"Well. Now we can begin." Cloud announced.
"Hey Blondie! Before you tell your cunning plan to kill Lady Angel, I have something to say." Trent interrupted Cloud.
"Yes Trent?" the Avalanche leader replied through gritted teeth.
"Lady Angel can't be killed that easily. She ain't even in Midgar no more." he said, his blue eyes flashing.
"Oh yeah! I remember she said the 14th she was taking a trip…" Gemma exclaimed.
"She's in Mideel. She's visiting Lifestream." Lillith finished.
"Right." Trent nodded.
Cloud couldn't help but notice how the Turks were such a close-knit and loyal group. He'd bet they'd give their lives for each other. Since his plan was now gone he simply stated:
"Cid, set course for Mideel."
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
It would take 2 hours to get to Mideel so Lillith headed for a secluded part of the ship. She found it on the Lower Level, by the Chocobo stables. She sat and cleared her mind, meditating. Just then she heard footsteps.
"Hey Champion." Cloud's voice purred to a Gold Chocobo. It squawked happily as Cloud got out some greens. As he fed it, Lillith stood up.
"Strife." she acknowledged him.
He seemed surprised but shrugged. "Hey Lillith." he returned to feeding his chocobo. She watched him some more, noticing how extremely handsome Cloud was. About 15 minutes later he patted Champion's head and turned to her.
"What's on your mind?" he asked.
"Lots of things. That's why I meditate." she replied snidely. Cloud nodded. "Sometimes that helps me too."
Lillith sighed. "Who would think the Turks would be joining with Avalanche?"
"Not me." Cloud laughed, but suddenly his gaze turned serious.
"What do you think of Reno and Gemma? And Trent and Tifa?" he asked softly.
"I guess if they're happy then they can do whatever they want. I really don't care." she shrugged.
"I guess. But Tifa…I always thought we'd end together. But if she's happy with Trent. I guess its ok." he smiled a little.
"Well, I'd better get upstairs." Cloud locked up the stable.
"Strife. Wait." Lillith moved closer to him.
Let it flow, let it flow her mind instructed.
Cloud didn't struggle when he felt Lillith's lips upon his. In fact, he was the one who deepened the kiss. And he definitely didn't struggle when she undid the belt buckle to his pants and began kissing his…you know what.
And she most definitely didn't struggle when he entered her and began making her moan and scream with pleasure with his 9-incher.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Lillith stumbled into the Recreation room where Trent and Raven were. She and Cloud had parted 15 minutes before the airship would land in Mideel. She'd never had sex like that. It was…incredible.
Trent raised an eyebrow at her as she collapsed on the couch next to him.
"Been a little busy eh?" he asked.
"What do you mean?" she replied innocently. She tried to hide that she was all sweaty and hot.
"You reek of sex." Trent stated, scooting away. Lillith blushed, trying to ignore Trent.
"Sex and…" he burst out laughing.
"You were fucking Strife! Oh this is RICH." he fell off the couch.
"Trent hush!" she hissed. He wiped tears from his eyes he was laughing so hard.
"Well…Lillith. I LEAST expected YOU…Trent and Gemma I can understand." Raven stated, smirking.
Lillith blushed and hurried away to wash the smell of "sex" off before they landed.
Of course there's a reason behind Cloud and Lillith, and Reno and Gemma and even Tifa and Trent. There's always a reason for everything right? Stay tuned for the next chapter. Ja ne!
