Watching over Me
By: Hikari
A beautiful brown haired woman walked out of her small but lovely kitchen while managing
to carry a load of junk food with her. She plopped down onto a couch and sat next to the
blonde haired man who just stared at the glow of the TV.
"Cloud?" Tifa began. No answer. She poked him. Nothing. "Cloud?"
Without even turning to look at her, he snatched a huge portion of the junk food from him.
Tifa just rolled her eyes and the rolling of her eyes were followed by a long an annoyed
sigh.
He's always like this whenever a movie comes on, Tifa thought. She tried hard to think
Of something that would keep him from ignoring her. The time caught her eye. 12:03AM.
"So, um...its Friday the 13th.....in December....not October." Tifa said and smiled to herself
When Cloud turned to her. He then began going on and on about things not to do on
Friday the 13th.
Suddenly there was a big crash heard outside. Tifa jumped up. She instinctively reached
for her gloves and put them on. Cloud took one of Tifa's hands.
"Tifa....take the gloves off." Cloud said calmly. Tifa held her hands together.
"CLOUD!" Tifa started. "Didn't you hear that?"
The blonde shook his head and sighed. Then Tifa turned off the TV and Cloud turned his
Attention back to Tifa.
'Oh, he just pays attention when the TV is off?' Tifa thought to herself.
"You're just paranoid. No more horror movies for you, young lady." Cloud said. Tifa laughed
a little as Cloud walked upstairs. Tifa followed soon after still holding her gloved hands.
*****
A dark figure walked by the home of Tifa and Cloud. He sighed and then began taking
quick breaths while clutching his badly injured arm.
"Damn..." He muttered.
He tried to keep his balance while standing but was horribly failing. The man was practically
soaking in his own blood. He finally gave up and collapsed into the backyard of the home.
*****
Tifa sprung up from her nightmare and and looked around. She moved the blanket away
from her and looked at her hands.
Good, she thought. I've got my gloves on. Maybe Cloud IS right. I'm getting a little paranoid...
But this is weird. You don't normally hear a loud crash in Nibelheim.
Tifa ran her hands through her hair and sighed. She got up and went to the window. She stayed
there looking at those amazing white specks in the sky which was the sky for quite some time.
Then she heard another loud crash coming from the backyard. Her ruby eyes widened in fear.
She jumped out of her bed and rushed over to where Cloud was sleeping.
When she arrived in his room she tried to close the door as quietly as she could. Then she
walked over to the window where she had a lovely view of the rest of the town and
the backyard.
Her eyes widened again when she saw a dark figure lying next to the house. She turned around
rubbed her eyes a bit an turned back. She wasn't imagining it! Then the phone began to ring.
She turned around and saw it was Cloud's cell phone.
Cloud got up and looked at Tifa. She just waved nervously.
"CLOUD! There's a bloody man in the backyard!" Tifa screamed and pointed. She waited for
Cloud to do something but he looked at her for a little bit then answered the phone.
"Hello?" He asked. Yuffie?! What could she want, Cloud wondered.
"There's an emergency, Cloud!" Yuffie said. She sounded like she would burst into tears at any
Minute.
"What happened?" Cloud said trying to be calm. Yuffie wasn't doing so well with staying calm she
Just kept yelling at Cloud.
"Get over here! Please...We're in Rocket Town." Yuffie begged. Cloud sighed. He wasn't going
To win this. Yuffie would eventually get him to come. Plus, she's wasting all of his minutes.
"I'll be right over." Cloud said. He ended the call and turned back to Tifa. He arched a brow.
"Um, I-i-" Tifa stuttered. Cloud put on his 'is-something-wrong' face. Tifa just shook her head.
Cloud would go mad if she told him. Plus, she was totally unsure of what to do.
"Well, anyways, Yuffie says there's an emergency in Rocket Town...So I'm gonna go. It that
all right with you, Tifa?" Cloud asked. Tifa nodded quickly. Cloud was about to say something
then decided not to.
He got out of his bed and began to get dressed. Tifa let out a sigh and walked downstairs.
She went over to the back door and turned the knob slightly. She could see clearly who was
down there. She couldn't really tell who it was due to all of the blood.
"Tifa?" A voice called. The brunette spun around and saw Cloud. She gasped and shut the door.
"I'm gonna go now. I'll be back in about 2 hours." Cloud said and picked up his sword. Tifa nodded
Very quickly. Cloud raised an eyebrow.
"Something wrong?" He asked. Tifa sighed and nodded. Cloud took a seat and waited for her to
Talk.
"There's someone-!" Tifa stopped. What would she say? Cloud, there's a bloody man in our backyard?
I told him before and he thought I was insane!
"Cloud...I'm...a neat-freak!" I shouted. Then I covered my face with my hands and sat down.
I didn't have to look up to see Cloud blinking. I knew he was.
A neat-freak? What's wrong with that? That can't be what's wrong. She's hiding something from
Me. It could've just been a bad dream or something. She was saying something about
a bloody man...
"There's nothing wrong with being a neat freak, Tifa." Cloud said. Tifa looked up and nodded.
"I've been dying to get that off my chest." Tifa bit her lip after that lie. "Um, you should be
going now."
Cloud got up and nodded. Then he picked up his sword and he was off. Tifa sighed and got
some tea. She walked over to get some tea out then stopped.
What the hell is wrong with me!?, Tifa asked herself. There's a bloody man in my backyard and I'm
About to drink tea?! She sighed and rushed to the back door. Her eyes widened and she took a step
Back.
"...?!"
