p((A/N:YEAH! People want me to continue...so...I WILL!! Oh...I've changed it a bit. NOT what I was gonnna do with it...but I still think it'll work.))
pCloud stood, looking into the doctor's eyes with such a fierce rage that Cid and Barret made sure they were holding him back while he stood there. Of course, they couldn't blame him. He was upset. The doctor had just about crushed him...
i'your friend-'
p'your...fiance...has suffered a major concussion, and is in a coma.' Cloud stared at him, not sure what was expected of him to be said.
p'when's she gonna wake up?' he asked. The doctor hesitated, and kept a straight and serious face, as doctors tend to do. Not letting emotion come in the way of their job.
p'....the chances of her recovering fully....'
p'Don't give me this fully recovering shit! Tell me when the hell she's gonna wake up!' Cloud snapped at him.
p'...not for quite some time if she does.'
p'wait! What the FUCK do you mean, IF!?' Cloud just about went berserk on the doctor, not hearing any of his other words.
p"I'm...very sorry. You...may see her. One at a time....two with him." And the doctor was gone. iTWO WITH HIM!?/i Cloud wanted to chase after him, but he couldn't. He could just collapse into sitting in the chair, tears streaming down his face. Then something struck him, he ran to the doctor and grabbed his arm.
p"Sir, please-"
p"-what about the baby?" Cloud pleaded. How could Tifa give birth if she was comatose? His head spun.
p"I'm sorry...the baby-" Cloud shook his head. He didn't need to finish the statement. He just turned and walked back, tears still flowing down his face. His entire body was trembling, and he was sure he would collapse if he wasn't urging himself not to.
p"Vincent..." The older man nodded and escorted him into Tifa's room, standing near a corner while Cloud knelt right next to Tifa's bed. He grabbed her hand, covering it with his much larger hand. Her skin was pale and icy cold, leaving even more of a chill in Cloud's bones. There was an IV in her arm, and a few bruises showing there was a problem inserting it.
p"Oh GOD Tifa...you've gotta be okay..." Cloud said quietly, rubbing his hands on hers, trying to warm it. Tears trickled down onto her icy hand. Vincent watched, deep emotion threatening to take him. He closed his eyes, not wanting to take in the scene. No...he had to be there, and free of any sign of feeling. If he were to break down, he knew Cloud wouldn't be able to make it through this.
p"I'm so sorry, baby...please...I hope you can hear me. I'm so sorry for everything. I...I should've never said anything. I could've just let you wait to tell me when you though it fit. This is all my fault...all my fault...." He cried, resting his forehead into the bed.
p"Cloud. If you must blame someone, blame Jenova." Vincent said quietly. Cloud looked over at him, waiting for an explanation.
p"If Jenova hadn't done all of this...none of this would've happened. You and Tifa would've been together, without problems...at least without these kinds of problems. Cloud stood up and leaned over to Tifa kissing her cold lips.
p"You're right. I won't let Jenova get away with this..." He went out of the room, Vincent joining him.
p"We're killing Jenova. NOW!" Cloud growled.Everyone looked up at him, dumbfounded. Cloud hadn't been serious about the threat to this extent before, but they wouldn't complain.
p"Head on assault. All of us at once. Cid, take everyone home to get their strongest weapons, best mastered materia, and anything else they think can save our asses. Vincent and I will stay here with Tifa...go, now. We'll leave when you all get back." Nobody said anything untill they were far away from Cloud, and even then they were mostly silent.
pThe end of this battle was near, and they all felt that for some of them, there wouldn't be another.
pThe silvery moon shone over head, in contrast to the totally black sky. A few stars shimmered overhead. Waves lapped at the shore miles away from the hospital. Troubles didn't exist there, and nobody felt any pain. Just the water and the sand. Things were diferent elsewhere.
pCloud kissed Tifa's cheek lightly, and felt her hand grip onto his. Hope fluttered into his heart, which was soaring now. Her voice came for a second, and his eyes widened, a grin crossed his face, though only for a second.
p"I forgive you Cloud...and....and I'll always love you." Cloud's wide eyes were instantly soaked with tears, and his grin was a slight opening in his mouth, a strange fear coming over him.
p"I...I'll always love you too..." He knew he had to say that. Something In his heart told him that he needed to tell her that. That something was right, because those were his last words to her. Seconds later, Tifa's grip let off of Cloud's hand and her shallow breathing ceased.
pOn the Shore, a star blinked out.
pVincent Valentine silently added upon himself yet another sin...seeing yet another death.
p((Yeah yeah...so it's short. It's almost over...*sniffle* I'm so sad. I was originally gonna kill Cloud, but...well....guess not!))
