You know what's cool? I have no clue. I'm not some big coolness guy. But
if I had to guess, I'd think night was awesome. I mean, nobody can see you
in the dark. It's like some big .. I don't know. A big black thingy. With stars.
Yeah, I know. I'm not good at these similies.Or were they called metaphors..
Christ, whatever. I'm not an english teacher. I sat up in bed, looking at the
clock. Twelve thirty. Wow, I haven't slept a minute yet. I couldn't say the
same for Tsuy, though. He's been sleeping ever since he got into bed with
me. And No, we didn't have any sex. If that's what you're thinking, you
sick little monkey. He shivers a lot when he's sleeping. But it's really
really.. REALLY weird on how he looks so much like me. The hair,
the eyes, the thin complexion.. It's almost as if he's a clone. Clone? Of me?
You've got to be joking. I've seen Sephiroth clones in my day, but none
of me. Nobody would waste their time. In dull words, I suck majorly.
Tsuy whimpered again and I rubbed my forhead. Was I just supposed
to leave him to his nightmare? How I knew he was having a nightmare
was beyond me, but something just told me I was right. I sighed again.
What if he wakes up? He'd like, scream and fall off the bed if he saw
me because I'd probably be the thing that's torturing him in there.. Not
literally, but in his corner of the world.

I shifted so I'd be facing Tsuy. He was shivering so much. I sighed,
and then whispered to him.

" I'll protect you , Tsuy . "

Amazingly enough, my pety little words actually helped. He stopped
writhing so much and back into a peaceful slumber. Woo-hoo! Score
one for the Cloudman!.. What? Who cares, it's points for me. You
can't take my points away from me!! I snuggled up to the smaller
body, liking the boy's warmth. Soon his steady breathing lulled me
to sleep.

Where the hell am I? Oh.. Lets see. Dark and dreary environment,
everything washed in blue... I must be in Vincent's room!! Well,
maybe not. It looked more like the Shin-Ra mansion. Infront of me,
I saw Tsuy, who seemed to be leading me.. with confidence, I
might add, to.. I don't even know where.

" Tsuy? Where are you taking me ?"

" To where it all began. "

" What? "

Where it all began? I had no idea what the hell he was talking about.
I don't know everything. The kid could of atleast gone into some
detail when telling me where the hell he's taking me.

" Where all of this began, Cloud. " He spoke, his tone dreadfully
calm.

" All of this? Do you mean.. The beginning of Sephiroth's insanity?"

I know what the lifestream sounds like. You don't even want to know
how long I spent in the lifestream, it.. talking to me. If you'd call that
talking. It's like turning static into words. And that's what happened
just now. The static-word-thingiers attacked me. Not literally, with
materia and swords going "YI-YI-YI" as their battlecry, but just
like.. screaming at me and Tsuy. Well, I don't think they were screaming
at Tsuy. But with each passing moment, the static grew louder and
louder before I just needed to scream out. And I did. Tsuy wouldn't
mind.

" AGH!!!!! "

And right after that, the static stopped. Hallelujah, thank the chocobos.
But still, I don't have a clue of what's going on. But the static was a
dead give away.. This was all a dream. Definately not mine, I'm not
this creative when it comes to dreaming. Stick me on a pony and
give me free rides for the day and I'm a happy monkey.

" What's going on, Tsuy!? " I asked, atleast trying to get some information
from him. After all, it could mean something later.

" What do you mean? I'm taking you to where it all began. "

" Tsuy!! Stop the riddles! What's going on? This isn't real, you know.. It's
all just a dream! " That was a bad move. As soon as I said that, Tsuy's eyes
twitched eerily. He suddenly screamed, his hands reaching to his head like
spiders, clenching his head, digging his nails into his scalp.

" Or is it, Strife? " A voice chimed. I knew it instantly. It was Sephiroth. He
loomed over Tsuy's hunched figure, grinning maliciously. Tsuy was completely
oblivious to this. Sephiroth watched Tsuy with an arched brow before he
engulfed his own body with a black ink-like substance. It's hard to discribe.
It's like the ink from an octopus or something. It engulfed Tsuy, and I could
see Sephiroth 'inside' of Tsuy for a split second before dissapering. I couldn't
help but scream.

" TSUY!!!! "

I wanted to wake up. I tried to wake up. But the fithly death monkey Sephiroth
wouldn't let me. He was containing me in my.. Or Tsuy's.. dreams. The bastard!
I could hear his insane voice, fill the mansion, and my head. He luaghed evily,
like he always does. Like some big crackhead who just found a shit load of
crack in his backyard.

" What are you doing to him, Sephiroth?! " I screamed, trying to counter the
insane luagh he was making.

" He's my puppet. A clone to a failure. How sad. Oh no.. I think he's going to
go kill your precious childhood friend. "

" TIFA!?! YOU BETTER BE FUCKING KIDDING ME!! YOU HURT TIFA, AND I SWEAR
I'LL KILL YOU!! .. AGAIN!!! " I don't know why I got so upset. I was talking to air,
a floaty thing all around me. It's not like I could just start punching and hit Sephiroth
everytime. .. Well, it COULD work.

" Be pacient, Strife. I'll let you go once I hear the scream. "

" What?! NO! "
