I don't own ff7 squaresoft does.

Ok chapter 2 I liked the reviews thx keep em coming. Sephiroth sees Aeris again and goes through this flashback that never existed in the game. Ok on with the fic. And I gave little bits and pieces of the promise and president Shinra's speech cause I don't remember it all and I don't think that anyone cares anyway also italics are Cloud's thoughts.

Chapter 2: I Saw My Love Again Through the Eyes of Another

I don't know how long I spent in the lifestream maybe 4 five years. My body seemed to refuse to let me merge with it and die I guess the Jenova cell wouldn't allow it. Though I seemed weak and frail floating in the life stream gave me incredible power. I could now fly, use incredible magical energy, and even create another physical being of myself to see the world I could even sense others like me and see through their eyes.

While I floated around I felt a sharp pain in my head. I sensed another being with the same burden I had suffered all my life the same mako enhancements and the same cells but his wavelength seemed different somehow like he was one person trapped in another. I wondered over this for over 3 years since I had sensed it wondering who could possibly have these same attributes this curse of Jenova. After the 5th year I finally got to see a form in a mirror through the man's eyes. My eyes widened as I finally realized who eyes it was I stared through. The man had glowing blue eyes he was wearing a purple jumpsuit and had golden spiky hair.

"Cloud. . . no it can't be how did he. . . Hojo must have done this when I impaled him.

The memory of my sword impaling Cloud and using his last breath to slam me into the hard wall was coming back flooding my thoughts.

"Why Hojo. . . why does he need to suffer as well!"

My body seemed to heat up as rage went through my body followed by the headache the always haunted me.

Hmm so he is now a part of me as well he could prove quite useful Jenova pounded these thoughts in my head

No leave him out of this!

Don't worry my son all will be part of me soon enough

SHUT UP!!!! I am not your son!!

I managed to drive her out of my thoughts for the moment I knew at that moment all was hopeless I only had one option.

I forced all my energy and the energy of the lifestream to hold Jenova at bay I could not kill myself doing this but I was able to do something else the thing I feared. I managed to seal my body away in an encasement of condensed mako and was drifted into the northern crater when Jenova had landed and my other physical being locked away in the 1st mako reactor of Shinra.

Know Cloud can live peacefully and not suffer the same way I had I thought to my self now immortal and suspended in mako all I could do was watch Cloud live a peaceful life nothing would make me happier. Little did I know how wrong I was.

And so I watched through Cloud. I watched him meet up with Tifa again, I watched him join up with a group of rebels as a mercenary, I heard his lies of him joining SOLDIER and quitting I saw the look of worry in Tifa's eyes as she heard this and I saw him get in the train to Shinra's mako reactor.

I saw it all.

Cloud jumped off the train and cut through two Shinra guards with ease. I saw him continue through the path that led to a mako reactor. I met a man known as Barret.

I saw them fight and I had to say they were good Cloud lived to the title I had given him.

But one thing puzzled me above all else.

Why did Cloud think that he was in SOLDIER and why did he become a mercenary? How did he gain Zack's Buster Sword?

I turned my attention from Cloud and decided to search deep in his mind for the answers to his questions.

I feel bad about this but I must know I thought to myself and searched deep into the pit of Clouds consciousness looking for answers but they seemed to be nowhere the only memory I could find was Tifa morning over her father.

"Sephiroth did this to you didn't he? Sephiroth, SOLDIER, Mako Reactors, Shinra I HATE THEM ALL"

Pangs of guilt filled me as I saw the memory

This. . .this is how Tifa suffered another sin I must atone for in death (gee who does that remind you of ^_^)

I must have triggered something because Cloud saw the same memory in real life.

I gave up and continued to watch through Cloud it will take a huge amount of time to release his hidden memories but I guess they will appear when the time is right

I continued to watch Cloud getting ready to set the bomb I looked around and fear struck me.

I saw the number on the reactor. One.

I panicked no if he blows up that reactor my other physical form will be released and he can still be controlled by Jenova

I immediately use all my strength to send a message through Cloud's brain. Cloud seemed to rise up in the air as I sent my brief message.

Watch out this isn't just a reactor!!! was all I could send and it wasn't enough to stop him.

Cloud set the bomb and ran.

Damn he has no idea what he's done I cursed myself for my weakness trying to figure out what damage had been done by this action.

The explosion will stop Jenova for maybe a few days a week tops maybe I can think of a plan by then

My attention was completely focused on how to stop Jenova not even paying attention to Tifa or the promise through it finally proved my suspicions o whether they truly did love each other or not.

"so you forgot then"

I could never forget

"No I remember it was getting late I though you would never come"

But you did come

"Promise me that whenever Im in a bind that you'll come and save me I'd like to experience that at least once.

I would protect you from anything I love you Tifa

"I didn't become famous I can't keep the promise"

Damn Cloud you are dumb you did keep you promise and swallow your damn pride and tell her you love her trust me if you don't you will regret it I felt like I was watching a soap opera I never remembered Cloud to be this stupid.

I continued on trying to predict what Jenova would do.

If she takes over my body she will probably go to Shinra HQ to get here body I can sense it is there and it would be the most logical place to bring it. . .

My thoughts were broken as I looked through Cloud to see a man walk by I recognized him immediately by his tacky suit and rounded body.

President Shinra

"Sorry if I can't remember your name but it's hard to remember out of the thousands of SOLDIER unless you're another Sephiroth."

yeah if someone went crazy and killed innocent people I think they would be remembered

He said some other stuff I didn't care for but then again I never did care for President Shinra's speeches anyway.

With that he took off by helicopter and sent one of his pathetic robots to kill Cloud and the others.

The battle lasted about 30 seconds (it did for me ^_^) and the ground collapsed under Cloud.

I saw Cloud hold on and Tifa crying more than when her father died.

Finally after the moron says some stuff he falls to his death

Even when he's gonna die he's too afraid to tell her how he feels he better survive.

I managed to use the Mako in his body to decrease his falling speed and he crashed into a church then all went black.

I woke him up by using memories. "Come on get up I remember the days when you could get off with just scraped knees"

Who. . . who are you?

"Are you alright" Cloud opened his eyes giving me vision of the girl of my dreams the only one I ever loved.

My heart pounded in my chest even after all these years my love for her had only gotten stronger I thought she had died I mourned for her again and again if all the guilt and bloodstained hand formed around me it still wouldn't beat the hatred I felt for myself for letting her almost die.

"Come on you freak get up" A boy pulled the silver hair of a 7 year old boy the boy cried in pain as he was beaten.

"Leave him alone!" I was save by a 6-year-old girl in a pink dress that seemed to some how scared the boy off.

"Are you ok?"

"Umm yeah"

"Why was he bullying you around?"

"Because of my stupid hair I hate it no matter how many times I cut it, it won't go away!!!!"

"I like it" the girl replied in a happy voice and hugged the boy. "There there it's ok"

The boy hugged the girl and felt happy as if actually hugging his mother "umm what's your name"

"Aeris you?"

"Sephiroth"

"Nice name"

"Thanks"

"You want to play"

"Sure" and with that the two new friends set off"

Sephiroth snapped back to reality as he saw Cloud and Aeris escaping from the Turks.

This time I won't fail I will protect her at all costs

Well that was a lot shorter and It kinda sucked in my opinion but I was kinda trying just to give you an idea of how I put Aeris and Sephiroth together next chapter will be much longer and revolve basically around Aeris and Sephiroth and their Childhood. In my story Aeris is about 9 when her mother dies and there is more Aeris/Sephiroth on the way after I get it to make sense I'll match Cloud and Tifa but if no one reviews they all die. My head hurts writing this is much harder then I thought lol.
