Rae walked over to Red's body, used a spell that Sephiroth could not recognize, but he could feel that it was strong. Red was now standing on his feet.

"How do you feel?" Rae asked with slight worry.

"Fine, fine. I knew you'd come back." Red answered.

"Glad to see you, again."

"Now, don't forget the others."

"I won't." Re hopped over to Cait's body, did the same spell, and walked over to Cloud's.

"I know you'll be mad with me, but I promised." She used the spell. Cloud opened his eyes, and jumped to his feet.

"What, you again?" Cloud asked.

"Yeesh, is that something you say to the person who revived you?" She said.

"Where's Sephiroth?"

"He's under my watch. In other words, you can't touch him."

"What do you mean?"

"I know this has been hard for you, but please understand. Please follow me."

"Now, why would I follow you, a friend of Sephiroth?" He said, but he ended up finding himself following her. Rae walked over to a green river.

"This is the Lifestream, right?"

"Well, duh."

"Good, watch." Rae placed her hands at the surface if the Lifestream, used the spell, and a body began forming, then clothes, then it rose out of the Lifestream. It landed at the edge, and the face became in view.

"A-Aeris!" Cloud exclaimed.

"Cloud, is that you?" Aeris asked.

"You, kid, how'd you do that?"

"For your information, my name is Rae."

"Yeah, whatever, how'd you do it?"

"The same way you where."

"Where am I? Who are you?" Aeris asked Rae.

"I have a feeling you know where we are. And that you know who I am." Rae replied.

"Oh. Let me see your face."

Aeris looked at Rae and found an old friend.

"I know you, your Rae."

"It's been a long time."

"Yes it has."

Rae turned to Cloud. "Now there's no reason to be mad at me."

"Why did you help Sephiroth? He should've died at my hands. When I find him I'll kill him."

"If you hurt him I'll be forced to kill you."

"Then why bother reviving me in the first place."

"I promised you answers."

"Okay, so where are they?"

"All in due time."

Aeris then noticed Cid and Barret 's body.

"Oh, dear, I must help them." She said, as she was about to go over to them but felt a hand on her shoulder, preventing her from moving. She turned around to find that it was Rae that was grabbing her shoulder.

"Don't."

"Why?"

"When I was fighting them, I saw that they had wished to die, in their minds, they had wished death, I could see it in their eyes. I see their spirits, it was they who told me to stop you."

"Oh, I see."

"We should get going now."

"But how?" Cloud, Cait, and Aeris asked simultaneously.

"You'll see. Windom, go get Sephiroth." Just as she said that, Windom darted to a shadowy corner, and barked so Rae knew that he found him. Windom and Sephiroth walked over to the group, Sephiroth made sure that he was behind Rae, so Cloud doesn't make any attempts on killing him.

"Why's he here?" Cloud asked pointing to Sephiroth.

"I needed a tie to this dimension."

"Then how did you get here before?" Sephiroth asked.

"Vincent and Tifa both gave me a single hair."

"Oh."

"Okay, now is everybody done with the questions right now?" Rae asked, nobody answered.

"Good, lets go." The portal opened and Rae pushed Cloud, Aeris, and Cait through, then Sephiroth went through, and last Red and Rae.

They appeared in front of the castle.

"Wow. Now, um, where are we?" Cloud asked.

"My home."

They went inside, where Vincent greeted them.

"Welcome back."

"Yes, now, you all know him, correct?" Cloud, Aeris, and Cait nodded

"Good, if any of you are hungry, just ask him, he'll get you something."

"What, a blood sandwich?" Cloud joked. "I just pretend I didn't hear that." Vincent replied.

"Cloud! If you wish for your answers, then I wouldn't joke, especially since you are in my house." Rae said with an angry glare.

"eep." Was all he said.

"Good, now I'll show you to your rooms." Vincent told them as he started to walk away, but was stopped with a question.

"You mean we're living here?" Cloud asked.

"Yes." Both Vincent and Rae said at the same time.

Vincent showed them to their rooms, which were on the same catwalk as Rae's and Sephiroth's are. The catwalk grew, so there were no longer three rooms attached to it, but six.

Sephiroth went to his room to lie down.

"So your castle grows with each guest?" Red asked.

"Yes, I guess so." Rae replied.

"Where do I sleep?"

"Where ever you want."

"Then outside your room." Red went upstairs and lied down in front of the space between each room.

"They must be tired." Rae said as she went outside. She walked up to a tree, jumped into a branch, laid down and watched the setting sun. She fell asleep for a while, only to be woken up by a voice.

"Hey, you, get up."

"Huh?" She turned her head to see Cloud with his cleaver-for-a-sword aimed for killing her. +++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ Suspenseful, isn't it.
