Lord Chaos: Okay, we last left off with Cloud telling Sephiroth to leave. Of course, you already knew that. But still, I don't own FFVII, or any characters except my own, which come into play in later chapters. But I'm still making no money off of this.
~Chapter 2~

"What makes you think you have the right to keep me from entering?" Sephiroth asked, "Since Aeris and I are together, if she enters, I enter."
Cloud's gaze moved from Sephiroth to Aeris and back. "Is this true, Aeris?" he asked. Aeris nodded.
"Yes, Sephiroth was revived to atone for his sins. The Cetra revived me as his spiritual guide, to help him atone. So, if he goes, I go." she said. Cloud growled, but consented to allow them in.
"Well, then, you two will undoubtedly want to rest and eat. I'll ask Tifa to fix you something," he snarled, "But don't go anywhere!" Aeris nodded and slid one of her arms through Sephiroth's. Cloud's teeth ground together as he stormed out of the room.
"Aeris, you don't need to..." Sephiroth said quietly. Aeris looked up at him.
"But I want to." she said. The older man blinked once, and started leaning down. Aeris started to gasp, but she was cut off when Sephiroth's lips connected with hers. His tongue sought entry into her mouth, and she was too surprised to deny him. They stood there for a moment, entwined, until Cloud walked back in. He stomped up to the two of them and pulled back his fist. Sephiroth released Aeris from the kiss, and as Cloud stuck, grabbed the younger man's hand and squeezed. A crunch indicated that Cloud's knuckles had cracked. Aeris winced at that, and Sephiroth released Cloud's hand.
"Son of a..." Cloud swore loudly, just as Tifa entered. She gasped and dropped the key she had been carrying.
"S-S-Sephiroth!" She stammered, "That's impossible! Cloud killed you!"
"And the Cetra Judges brought me back to atone," the older man said, shrugging, "As well as reviving Aeris to be my spiritual guide during my atonement."
"Aeris! You're back too!" Tifa cried, running towards the young auburn-haired girl. Aeris opened her arms and caught Tifa in an embrace.
"Glad to see you, too," she said, "How are you and Cloud getting along?"
Tifa blushed bright red. "Well, we were thinking about getting married..." she said. The blush vanished as she looked up at Sephiroth. "What are you doing with Aeris? Don't tell me the two of you are in love." Sephiroth opened his mouth to reply, but Aeris beat him to it.
"Well...he did just kiss me..." she said, blushing a deep shade of crimson. Tifa gasped.
"No way!" she said, "And you just let him kiss you?" Aeris blushed a deeper shade.
"It was kind of pleasant, to tell the truth," the young woman said, looking up at Sephiroth. The older man was still glaring daggers at Cloud.
"I don't care what you think of it, Aeris, he's a monster!" Cloud exclaimed. Sephiroth growled something unintelligible.
"Cloud, be nice, if he's in love with Aeris, he must've changed..." Tifa reasoned, but Cloud held up a hand. "Sephiroth, I challenge you to a duel!" he shouted. Sephiroth looked at Cloud for a moment, and nodded.
"I accept," he said, "We'll fight."

~End Chapter 2~
Lord Chaos: Again, please please PLEASE R&R! It will get more romantic in later chapters, I promise, as well as some stuff for Cloud-Tifa fans! And I also promise that the other characters will come in later chapters, okay? Until then!
