I don't own the characters of FF7 but I wish I did.
Ok chapter 3 I thought my second chapter sucked. So I'm gonna try to get this one to work better. Also I found out my italics don't work sry if I confused anyone last chapter so now are Cloud's thoughts this will be based on Sephiroth and Aeris teenage yrs and a bunch of other flash backs. After Gast, before Ifalna's death and a bit after plus Don's mansion when Cloud dresses up ^_^. (Oh yeah one more thing PLZ REVIEW OR EVERYONE DIES!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!) Only Sephiroth thoughts in this one. ****= Flashback and flash forward and is a conversation Sephiroth didn't hear by the way does anyone know exactly how old Sephiroth is because I have no clue I also forgot what how many materia slots he had sry but if you care then you need serious help. oh yeah I gave President Shinra a name ^_^ and it isn't Rufus and I'm gonna focus on the masamune too but just for this chapter.
"My name is Cloud. Me? I do a bit of everything."
I heard Cloud say these words to Aeris, but they were but a whisper. I didn't care for anything in that moment.
Not Jenova, not my physical being that had been released, not even of my horrible past.
I found my angel again nothing else mattered.
How is she still alive I thought she . . .who cares! She is alive that is all that matters
My mind trailed elsewhere, away from Cloud's escapades with a woman who called herself Aeris mother.
I guess Ifalna didn't make it. How many years has it been?
I began to trail back to 3 years after the day I had met Aeris.
****
We had both lived in Midgar as prisoners in a way her more then me physically. But emotionally I was bound her.
For I had nowhere else to go.
So we remained in Shinra HQ. Neither of us knew just quite how we got there, just that we were transferred there where we were very young.
Me by myself, and Aeris with her mother. I envied her we were stuck in this horrible place.
But at least she had a mother.
"Hi Sephy"
God I despise that nickname but when she says it, it doesn't seem so bad.
I turned my head hearing Aeris's voice.
"Hi"
We had played for hours when we met and became great friends fast. And remained friends for a long time. We were exact opposites but I guess what they say is true
Opposites attract.
Life seemed good my testing was over with Hojo and the pain I felt every night from the needles piercing my skin seemed to diminish.
That was until she spoke.
"Umm Sephy . . . I wanted to tell you something"
"Yeah?"
"I have to go"
My heart stopped for a moment hearing those words. The pain I had felt the past year was nothing compared to what I was feeling at that minute.
I was losing my only friend.
"Oh" was the only word I could force out.
"When?"
"Tomorrow I'm being moved to the 67th floor with my mother. Hojo wants me for some reason. I won't be back for a while."
Again a simple "oh" passed my lips.
She spoke once more with tears in her eyes I wanted to show them too.
I just couldn't
"Goodbye Sephy"
****
She left that day. I didn't see her for another 5 years. I had heard she had escaped giving me a little hope then she was recaptured at age 16.
I was 18 I had fought in the Midgar Wutai War for 6 long years and it had finally ended I won't go into it though I cannot bare to.
I'll never forget that day I was now the renounced General Sephiroth it was also the day I received my masamune.
****
I casually walked to the president's office after being a war hero from age 12 I could do nothing less. I was respected, admired, everyone love me, wanted to be like me.
I wonder how I became so weak?
I had no idea what the President wanted just that he had asked for me. I opened the doors to see his fat hairy face. Of course even I was too afraid to tell him he needed to go on a diet.
After all who could even stand up to such a powerful man.
"Sephiroth! Hahaha, I mean General Sephiroth how is my warrior today?"
"Fine" I replied coolly
"Good good" he said and took one of his expensive cigars out to smoke it. He took a puff and started his laugh again.
"Hahaha, listen Sephy boy"
I clinched my teeth. I hated it when he called me Sephy only one person had the right to call me that.
"I have I little something for you. Hojo!"
My fist tightened at that name. I hated that man but for once he didn't bother me. After I saw what he had made for me that is.
He talked in his annoying voice.
"My boy, say hello to the break through of scientific weaponry. The Masamune."
My eyes widened as I saw him take a huge weapon out of a golden sheath. It was about 6 feet maybe longer. I was so astonished by it that I barely paid attention to Hojo's explanation. Still staring as the weapon almost drooling.
"Masamune is the Cetran word for weapon. This weapon has been customized to your exact body weight and height so only you can wield it with ease. Anyone else will have serious trouble for they won't be counter balanced, as you will."
God just give me the damn sword already! I don't need your damn explanations I thought to my self but he just kept going.
I lost my concentration after looking at the sword again.
"It has been forged with mako and the worlds strongest steel so not only is it powerful physically but also magically. It can negate the effects of cure magic on your opponents. And it had amazing range and power."
Big deal it kicks ass were the only thoughts that crossed my mind for a while, cause I started drooling again.
"Also it will recognize your DNA once you touch it and come when summoned. The handle is made of the finest leather. Its mako syndicated technology will increase the power of the blade with every new kill you use it for and is the ultimate sword in terms of maneuverability. It has 8 connected materia slots and the growth is double so any materia you use should level quickly. It is truly the perfect weapon."
I was speechless. I couldn't think of anything I just sat there still drooling over the sword.
The president spoke again finally waking me from the little world I was in.
"Hahaha, judging by the look on your face I see that you like it. It's yours to keep now go on. Train of whatever it is you will want to do with it."
I eagerly grabbed the sword and felt its leather. It was so light it barley felt like it was in my hand. The Sword started to glow a blue light and the light made a quick lap around my body.
Just as quickly as it came it was gone.
"Scan Complete"
"Subject: Sephiroth"
"Age: 18"
"Sex: Male"
"Hair color: Silver"
"Eye color: Mako Enhanced Green"
"Weight: 189 pounds"
"Height: 6 feet 2 inches"
"Experience In Battle: Advanced"
". . . . . .ANALYSIS COMPLETE."
I stood there in shock the sword had just given a full status report on me. I was taken out of my surprised state by more of Hojo's bragging.
"Did I forget to mention that the sword scans any target telling you their weaknesses? Also it will telepathically send the data to your brain. Hahaha? I'm such a genius!"
"Yeah whatever this sword kicks ass. Can I go now"
I turned to look at Hojo he looked really pissed off. I couldn't help but laugh slightly. As I started to leave the president spoke once more directing my attention.
"Wait don't you want your sheath?"
I turned around once more to face President Maxwell Shinra
"No thanks I don't think I will need it. This sword, will never leave my hand. I'm going to the slums to try it out. I'll be back later don't contact me"
I took my leave of President Shinra and Hojo bumping into a man falling back.
"Ow! uh g-general Sephiroth I'm so-rry"
I didn't feel like yelling at, him so I just sent him off.
"It's ok. Go continue your business"
"Thank you sir"
The man ran off it seemed he had something important to tell the President though I didn't hear the conversation.
"Um. . . Hojo sir"
"What is it"
"Well about the half cetra girl"
"Yes?"
"Well she sort of umm."
"She sort of what!?"
The man said the next words very fast unfortunately Hojo heard them
"She escaped into the slums"
"WHAT?!?! YOU MORON!!! GET HER BACK NOW!!!!"
"Y-y-yes sir I'll get a few SOLDIERs on it right away"
"WELL WHY ARE YOU STILL?!?!?!? HERE GO AND MAKE SURE THEY CAPTURE HER ALIVE!!!! IF SHE DIES YOU DIE!!!!!!!"
With that the man ran off faster then a gold chocobo.
"Dammit I hate the slums why did I chose to come here?"
I continued to walk until I bumped into a girl in a hood and we both fell down
"Ow" I rubbed my side.
What is with me today and bumping into people
"I'm sorry sir I didn't see you"
I stared at the girl for a moment I couldn't make out her face because of a hood she was wearing but her voice sounded so familiar.
"Umm yeah sure no problem"
With that I continued past.
Who was she?
I continued my thoughts as I walked around. One particular thought running through my head.
She seemed so familiar.
A while later, I found myself going in circles. I hadn't found anything to kill with my new weapon.
I decided to turn back taking a short cut past sector 6 climbing some wire for the exercise and then I saw her.
The same girl from before being harassed by a bunch of SOLDIERs.
"Please let me go!!"
"Not a chance Hojo is waiting for you"
"No! you can't make me go back there! I'll never go back-"
One man punched her in the stomach before she could finish her sentence. The force of the blow caused her hood to fall off. The girl fell to her knees in pain her braided hair falling behind her. She faced the floor struggling for breath.
I couldn't stand anymore though I could kill in cold blood in war, I just couldn't stand to see a girl get hurt.
I guess you could call me chivalrous for that.
"Stand down men!"
The men took their gaze off of the girl and stupidly charged at me. I laughed and firmly place the masamune in my hand and swung horizontally it wasn't a hard fight I killed two in one swing the others ran for their lives finally realizing who I was. The masamune giving full data on the pathetic excuse of a battle.
"Scan complete."
"Target: SOLDIER 3rd class"
"Attack: Average"
"Endurance: Normal"
"Health: 100-200 hit points"
"Magical Energy (MP): 25"
"Materia: none"
"Weapon: gun"
As I killed off the last SOLDIER the blood seemed to absorb into the blade.
"ATTACK RAISED BY 5%."
I lowered my sword and ran up to the girl.
"Are you ok?"
I lifted the girl up and finally saw her face I dropped the masamune in shock.
The girl looked up at me tears in her beautiful green eyes. Her hair blowing in the draft of the slums.
"Aeris?"
Aeris looked at me for a moment then fell to my arms crying a gently hugged her just as she had for me.
"It's ok Aeris. I'm here. What happened to you?"
I saw Aeris stand up again she placed her hand on her chest and took a deep breath. She looked more beautiful then ever.
"I was taken to Hojo. He started to experiment on me taking samples of my blood and hitting me when I spoke.
She more she spoke, the more she cried
"It was endless pain. He said he would stop once I told him of the promise land but I knew nothing."
Her tears fell even faster. I had never seen her so sad. It infuriated me to no end.
"He called me a lying bitch every time I told him I didn't know and smacked me. I managed to escape with my mother but we were recaptured thanks to my mother I managed to escape once more into the slums, but then those SOLDIERs caught up to me and they were going to force me back"
More tears fell from her eyes more then I had ever seen.
"They told me you had died in battle"
I wiped the tears from her eyes and kissed her forehead she calmed down a bit.
"Aeris come with me back to Shinra HQ. I promise Hojo will bother you no more."
Aeris slowly nodded I could tell she was a little insecure about the idea but she whispered into my ear and followed.
"I know I can trust you Sephy"
Those words seemed to anger me more than anything I was determined to fix this and no one was going to tell me other wise.
Hojo will pay for this
As we continued to the train station to get to Shinra HQ, I couldn't stop staring at Aeris. She was so beautiful he hair was still braided but much longer she had a ribbon in her hair and a dull materia orb. That interested me the least.
Unfortunately, Aeris noticed this.
"What are you staring at me for"
I immediately looked down my face red with embarrassment
"Umm well. . ." Make up an excuse! Hurry! "it's just you are so beautiful and. . . " You idiot why did you have to be so blunt girls don't like that"
It was Aeris turn to turn red
"Umm thank you."
She immediately looked up back to her perky self
"You know if men were more blunt, then we'd go out with them a lot more"
I hit my self in the head with my palm
I forgot one thing. Men know ABSOLUTELY NOTHING about women! *sigh* well it's worth a try.
I said my next lines as fast as I could
"Aeris do you want to go out with me when this is fixed up?"
Aeris stopped in her tracks and turned. She smiled at me and nodded then continued on a little perkier then she had been.
Thank you god! I was incredibly relieved. Even though I had said it very fast I had sweated enough.
We finally made it to Shinra HQ after a long and enjoyable ride and conversation of what we were going to do that night for our date.
I immediately changed from happy to furious in a few moments.
Hojo you bastard
"Aeris come with me we are going to see President Shinra"
We stormed up the main stair and into the elevator. The ride was only about 2 minutes to the top floor with my clearance and we made our way into the president's office Hojo was still with him his face filled with joy as he saw Aeris hiding behind my cape.
"Ah my specimen has returned"
I planned on keeping my cool but the voice of that madman and calling Aeris a specimen like she wasn't human pushed me passed my limits very easily.
"HOJO!!!!!!!! SHE IS NOT YOUR SPECIMEN!!!!!!!!!!!!!" my shouting surprised everyone. Aeris along with everyone else took a step back.
"What damn right do you think you have!?!?!?! Experimenting on other people?!?!?!"
"But Sephiroth it was merely for her own good-"
"DO YOU THINK I'M AN IDIOT!?! AERIS TOLD ME ABOUT WHAT YOU DID TO HER!!!!"
"Oh she did, did she? Well she will just have to be disciplined" He walked toward her causing me to lose all calm and sense as she clenched my cape in fear. I put my masamune to his chest in incredible fury. The length of the sword giving us incredible distance.
"YOU WILL NOT TOUCH HER!!!!"
Hojo looked furious but he and I both knew he had no chance of winning this argument.
I held the cards for a change.
The president walked into the room shortly after.
"Sephy boy? Hojo? What is the matter?"
My anger turned toward President Shinra.
But I wasn't as furious at him as I was at Hojo.
"President did you authorize this. . . madman to take custody of Aeris?"
"MADMAN WHY YOU LITTLE-"
"SHUT UP HOJO I HAVE NOT GIVEN YOU PERMISSION TO SPEAK"
I pressed my sword harder against his chest. Any harder and it would pierce through.
"Maxwell answer the question"
President Shinra frowned.
He knew it was serious when I called his first name.
"Yes he was merely interrogating her to find the promise land for the good of the company"
"You allowed him to insult her, chain her up, take samples of her blood, and beat her as well?"
I was growing calm again I knew President Shinra was a businessman but not a monster. Surely he had no idea.
He didn't disappoint.
"What did you say!?" Are you telling me Hojo did these things to this Aeris?
"Yes."
"Tell me who is this Aeris?"
I stepped to the side revealing a trembling Aeris, who had hidden behind the sanctity of my cloak.
"Oh Sephy is this that girl. . . that girl you told me about?"
"Yes"
"I see. Hojo come here now!"
"Ye-yes sir."
I laughed looking at Hojo's face.
It's Ok Sephy. You and your friend may go now I will take care of this.
"Thank you sir" I smiled and took Aeris to the entrance of the building.
"There now relax everything is going to be ok now Aeris"
"Thank you"
"Now about that date"
****
I finally snapped out of my dream and back into reality. I had already missed a lot I had no clue what was going on. I looked through Clouds eyes to see what was happening.
I saw that I was in some sort of room. I looked to the right and saw Tifa dressed in a dress she looked very stunning. Cloud then turned to his right and I saw Aeris she had a beautiful dress on which revealed a lot. I started to drool more then I had when I received the masamune.
I may have been cold blooded but I was still human.
My happiness suddenly turned to disgust as I saw an incredibly large man with blond hair and glasses wearing nothing but a robe and a small thong. I wanted to puke really badly.
I think I almost did.
The large man walked back and forth
"now who shall it be that I will make lucky tonight?"
He's not gonna. . .
I definitely threw up after that thought.
"This one?" he looked at Tifa and shook his head he then walked to Aeris
"or this one"
You sure as hell better not!!!!!! I screamed not that he could hear me anyway.
"Nope"
Relief washed over me.
The man then turned to Cloud who avoided eye contact
"I've made my choice"
A drum roll suddenly came from nowhere
"I pick. . ." he looked at Cloud "This beauty"
What did he mean by that is he gay or something
I then got a glimpse of a mirror Cloud was looking in and I saw it.
Cloud was wearing a purple dress, make up, and a blond wig with a tiara.
I tried my best to hide in my laughter not that anyone could hear. But it didn't help. I started to laugh harder then I ever had in my life.
"HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!!!!!!!!!! CLOUD IS DRESSED LIKE A GIRL!!!!!!"
I couldn't help it I laughed as he walked into the room with the fat man. Who immediately took off his clothes. I immediately stopped laughing and started to vomit again.
After about 5 minutes of me throwing up and the fat man bouncing, Tifa and Aeris came in.
First they asked the man what Shinra was planning. Then they threatened to destroy something. I was pretty sure what too. I had a felling they would do it too I guess he did as well.
"OK!!!! I'll tell you Heidegger from Shinra hired me to find the whereabouts of a rebel group called AVALANCE. We found them in sector 7."
I never thought president Shinra would do something so drastic hiring a moron like this and who's Heidegger?
"Shinra plans on making the plate crush sector 7 to destroy the rebel group I'm just glad that it's not here in sector 6."
Why would the President do that anyway? I don't think he would do that just to get rid of Cloud and the others he must have something else in mind.
"Come on guys we have to hurry"
"Wait why do you think a guy like me would tell you all this?"
"Because you think you win?" was Aeris answer
"Because you have no life?" was Tifa's
"Because you are a gutless worm" Was Clouds (I forgot the choices so don't be mad it's hard to remember)
"Correct" he looked at Aeris and pulled a lever opening a trap door under the three as they fell into the sewers below all went black.
So what you think I'm not done yet not much action but there will be a bit more and more Flashbacks but only if I get reviews or I'll quit! Also for those Aeris/Zack fans (if any) I just want to say this is BEFORE Zack. Zack is still in his hometown so don't but me about that detail I know it all to well.
Ok chapter 3 I thought my second chapter sucked. So I'm gonna try to get this one to work better. Also I found out my italics don't work sry if I confused anyone last chapter so now are Cloud's thoughts this will be based on Sephiroth and Aeris teenage yrs and a bunch of other flash backs.

Her tears fell even faster. I had never seen her so sad. It infuriated me to no end.
"He called me a lying bitch every time I told him I didn't know and smacked me. I managed to escape with my mother but we were recaptured thanks to my mother I managed to escape once more into the slums, but then those SOLDIERs caught up to me and they were going to force me back"
More tears fell from her eyes more then I had ever seen.
"They told me you had died in battle"
I wiped the tears from her eyes and kissed her forehead she calmed down a bit.
"Aeris come with me back to Shinra HQ. I promise Hojo will bother you no more."
Aeris slowly nodded I could tell she was a little insecure about the idea but she whispered into my ear and followed.
"I know I can trust you Sephy"
Those words seemed to anger me more than anything I was determined to fix this and no one was going to tell me other wise.
Hojo will pay for this
As we continued to the train station to get to Shinra HQ, I couldn't stop staring at Aeris. She was so beautiful he hair was still braided but much longer she had a ribbon in her hair and a dull materia orb. That interested me the least.
Unfortunately, Aeris noticed this.
"What are you staring at me for"
I immediately looked down my face red with embarrassment
"Umm well. . ." Make up an excuse! Hurry! "it's just you are so beautiful and. . . " You idiot why did you have to be so blunt girls don't like that"
It was Aeris turn to turn red
"Umm thank you."
She immediately looked up back to her perky self
"You know if men were more blunt, then we'd go out with them a lot more"
I hit my self in the head with my palm
I forgot one thing. Men know ABSOLUTELY NOTHING about women! *sigh* well it's worth a try.
I said my next lines as fast as I could
"Aeris do you want to go out with me when this is fixed up?"
Aeris stopped in her tracks and turned. She smiled at me and nodded then continued on a little perkier then she had been.
Thank you god! I was incredibly relieved. Even though I had said it very fast I had sweated enough.
We finally made it to Shinra HQ after a long and enjoyable ride and conversation of what we were going to do that night for our date.
I immediately changed from happy to furious in a few moments.
Hojo you bastard
"Aeris come with me we are going to see President Shinra"
We stormed up the main stair and into the elevator. The ride was only about 2 minutes to the top floor with my clearance and we made our way into the president's office Hojo was still with him his face filled with joy as he saw Aeris hiding behind my cape.
"Ah my specimen has returned"
I planned on keeping my cool but the voice of that madman and calling Aeris a specimen like she wasn't human pushed me passed my limits very easily.
"HOJO!!!!!!!! SHE IS NOT YOUR SPECIMEN!!!!!!!!!!!!!" my shouting surprised everyone. Aeris along with everyone else took a step back.
"What damn right do you think you have!?!?!?! Experimenting on other people?!?!?!"
"But Sephiroth it was merely for her own good-"
"DO YOU THINK I'M AN IDIOT!?! AERIS TOLD ME ABOUT WHAT YOU DID TO HER!!!!"
"Oh she did, did she? Well she will just have to be disciplined" He walked toward her causing me to lose all calm and sense as she clenched my cape in fear. I put my masamune to his chest in incredible fury. The length of the sword giving us incredible distance.
"YOU WILL NOT TOUCH HER!!!!"
Hojo looked furious but he and I both knew he had no chance of winning this argument.
I held the cards for a change.
The president walked into the room shortly after.
"Sephy boy? Hojo? What is the matter?"
My anger turned toward President Shinra.
But I wasn't as furious at him as I was at Hojo.
"President did you authorize this. . . madman to take custody of Aeris?"
"MADMAN WHY YOU LITTLE-"
"SHUT UP HOJO I HAVE NOT GIVEN YOU PERMISSION TO SPEAK"
I pressed my sword harder against his chest. Any harder and it would pierce through.
"Maxwell answer the question"
President Shinra frowned.
He knew it was serious when I called his first name.
"Yes he was merely interrogating her to find the promise land for the good of the company"
"You allowed him to insult her, chain her up, take samples of her blood, and beat her as well?"
I was growing calm again I knew President Shinra was a businessman but not a monster. Surely he had no idea.
He didn't disappoint.
"What did you say!?" Are you telling me Hojo did these things to this Aeris?
"Yes."
"Tell me who is this Aeris?"
I stepped to the side revealing a trembling Aeris, who had hidden behind the sanctity of my cloak.
"Oh Sephy is this that girl. . . that girl you told me about?"
"Yes"
"I see. Hojo come here now!"
"Ye-yes sir."
I laughed looking at Hojo's face.
It's Ok Sephy. You and your friend may go now I will take care of this.
"Thank you sir" I smiled and took Aeris to the entrance of the building.
"There now relax everything is going to be ok now Aeris"
"Thank you"
"Now about that date"
****
I finally snapped out of my dream and back into reality. I had already missed a lot I had no clue what was going on. I looked through Clouds eyes to see what was happening.
I saw that I was in some sort of room. I looked to the right and saw Tifa dressed in a dress she looked very stunning. Cloud then turned to his right and I saw Aeris she had a beautiful dress on which revealed a lot. I started to drool more then I had when I received the masamune.
I may have been cold blooded but I was still human.
My happiness suddenly turned to disgust as I saw an incredibly large man with blond hair and glasses wearing nothing but a robe and a small thong. I wanted to puke really badly.
I think I almost did.
The large man walked back and forth
"now who shall it be that I will make lucky tonight?"
He's not gonna. . .
I definitely threw up after that thought.
"This one?" he looked at Tifa and shook his head he then walked to Aeris
"or this one"
You sure as hell better not!!!!!! I screamed not that he could hear me anyway.
"Nope"
Relief washed over me.
The man then turned to Cloud who avoided eye contact
"I've made my choice"
A drum roll suddenly came from nowhere
"I pick. . ." he looked at Cloud "This beauty"
What did he mean by that is he gay or something
I then got a glimpse of a mirror Cloud was looking in and I saw it.
Cloud was wearing a purple dress, make up, and a blond wig with a tiara.
I tried my best to hide in my laughter not that anyone could hear. But it didn't help. I started to laugh harder then I ever had in my life.
"HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!!!!!!!!!! CLOUD IS DRESSED LIKE A GIRL!!!!!!"
I couldn't help it I laughed as he walked into the room with the fat man. Who immediately took off his clothes. I immediately stopped laughing and started to vomit again.
After about 5 minutes of me throwing up and the fat man bouncing, Tifa and Aeris came in.
First they asked the man what Shinra was planning. Then they threatened to destroy something. I was pretty sure what too. I had a felling they would do it too I guess he did as well.
"OK!!!! I'll tell you Heidegger from Shinra hired me to find the whereabouts of a rebel group called AVALANCE. We found them in sector 7."
I never thought president Shinra would do something so drastic hiring a moron like this and who's Heidegger?
"Shinra plans on making the plate crush sector 7 to destroy the rebel group I'm just glad that it's not here in sector 6."
Why would the President do that anyway? I don't think he would do that just to get rid of Cloud and the others he must have something else in mind.
"Come on guys we have to hurry"
"Wait why do you think a guy like me would tell you all this?"
"Because you think you win?" was Aeris answer
"Because you have no life?" was Tifa's
"Because you are a gutless worm" Was Clouds (I forgot the choices so don't be mad it's hard to remember)
"Correct" he looked at Aeris and pulled a lever opening a trap door under the three as they fell into the sewers below all went black.
So what you think I'm not done yet not much action but there will be a bit more and more Flashbacks but only if I get reviews or I'll quit! Also for those Aeris/Zack fans (if any) I just want to say this is BEFORE Zack. Zack is still in his hometown so don't but me about that detail I know it all to well.
