Chapter 2: Waiting for the enemy to rise
"What are you looking at Cloud? Aren't you supposed to be after her?" She snapped with a bittersweet voice, waking him from his deep thoughts. Slowly, Cloud turned to face the only being he couldn't stand, his cold glare studying her severely. Her beautiful almond eyes locked into his. Despite her nice feminine features, she still looked unintelligent in front of him.
"Since when are you preoccupied by my condition?"
"Cloudy, honey you know my feelings for you," She smiled mockingly while he made a frown in disgust. "Mother sent me to keep an eye on you. Don't worry, our journey is going to be interesting."
"Tifa, please don't make things look pathetic. You're a dead weight for me." He replied dryly. The remark hurt her feelings, letting a deep wound in her heart, mind, and soul. She watched him with sadness and frustration, straight in his pale blue eyes. Was he enjoying her pain? / How dare you, Cloud Strife to insult me? I'll make you pay, I swear. /
"Sometimes, you make such a drama queen," Then, he walked away from her and a few metres farther he added with nonchalance. "Tomorrow, I'll continue my research."
"Hey, how about me?"
"Meet me in the morning at the Intercontinental."
Cloud kept his glare at the lake with a nostalgic look. He liked the cold autumnal breeze, the silence and darkness; he could feel the rebellious shadows dancing around him, searching for lost souls. He didn't want to waste such a lovely night on an insignificant victim.

I can't stand to fly, I'm not that naive I'm just out to find the better part o' me
I'm more than a bird.I'm more than a plane More than some pretty face beside a train And it's not easy to be me
Wish that I could cry, fall upon my knees Find a way to lie About a home I'll never see
It may sound absurd.but don't be naive Even heroes have the right to bleed I may be disturbed.but won't you concede Even heroes have the right to dream It's not easy to be me
Superman- Five for fighting
Aeris laid on the soft bed thinking at the late events. She saw the great Sephiroth, one of the most feared men in front of her holding a bouquet of flowers. Maybe he was holding a gun or something. She was sure that he wanted to murder her. /But he didn't./
Obviously, the nurse took her for a you-definitely-have-to-spent-some- weeks-in-an-asylum, while the 'real' psycho guy watched the scene in pure confusion. / Is he the real Sephiroth? After all he brought me flowers. Jeez, Aeris, you make such a nerd! / She blushed, staring at the beautiful white roses on the little table near her bed.
An idea stroked her brain, she had to leave the place, it was for her own safety, but where could she go? In this world she was alone, no family, no friends, just strangers. / Why me? My life is such a mess. This is so crazy! I sometimes want to die! / Finally, she got up, feeling all her numb bones. Once she found her clothes; that pink dress was really holy, the only thing as a remembrance from her late mother; Aeris left the room. Walking cautiously on the bright corridors and keeping herself unnoticeable by the few nurses and doctors, she reached the elevator.
It was 5:35 AM, and Sephiroth couldn't stop thinking about the young woman. After all, it was his fault that she was in hospital. / At least my Benz is intact. / He grinned, but then remembered that he didn't know her name, neither who she was. No identity card was to found on her. No health assurance card, now he was supposed to pay for her. In plus she thanked him by calling him a psychopath.
He waited for the elevator to attain the first floor. / Damn, it's taking too long. / A few minutes later, the doors opened and familiar face appeared in front of him.

"!"
"So, we meet again," He finally spoke, looking at her sympathetically.
Aeris couldn't believe her eyes. Her worst enemy was now staring at her in compassion, even speaking to her. An assassin. A monster. But she hadn't the right to judge the others; her role was to try to protect the Planet./What Planet? I'm not on Planet right now./ Maybe he could help her somehow.
"Lost your tongue?"
"What do you want from me? Kill me now if you want, I really don't care." She replied. His smile faded, he looked at her in consternation. The girl was really wacky, wasn't she?
"The problem is that I'm not a murderer, sorry to disappoint you."
"."
"Shouldn't you be upstairs?"
"No."
"Did you make a run off?"
"It doesn't concern you."
"Yes it does."
"You know, the conversation is getting boring."
"You caught that only now?"
"You're really a jerk!"
"At least I'm not a madcap!"
"Well, well, well, what have we here?" Aeris and Sephiroth both turned to see who the new out comer was. He was watching them since the beginning, when he decided to broke up the discussion.
"Cloud?" Aeris spoke softly more to herself than to her 'friend'.
