On with the show.

Reeve struggled to reload his gun as he strained to hear movement in the forest around him. For the hundredth time since this had started to go wrong he cursed his stupid sense of honour. He had tried to do this himself rather than use the Cait Sith doll, he felt as if he should do this. He had wanted to do something to thank all of AVALANCHE and especially Cloud. It had been a great idea. Using Hojo's old notes on Jenova, the Ancients and various other things he had tried to resurrect Aeris, the woman who Cloud had loved.

It had worked, he thought, but the side effects were phenomenally bad and far-reaching. He had managed to bring her back, but when he had lifted her from death, something else happened as well. He still wasn't sure of the details, most of it was a blur to him, he remembered having to use a materia to transport her away from the city of the Ancients, he remembered a black shape washing over the pool where her body had lain and he remembered wasting all of his bullets on something that had followed Aeris out of whatever realm lay beyond death.

Aeris lay on Cloud's bed, asleep or in a coma he couldn't tell. He was deeply worried about her. He had cleaned her up and treated some of her wounds, none of which were major. He had removed her dirty ,torn clothes and put his bedsheets over her frail vulnerable body.She was still bone white and her breathing was very shallow.

When Cloud had opened the door to find Aeris he was both overjoyed and shocked beyond belief. When she had fainted he had pushed the shock away, there would be time for that later. Right now though Aeris was sick or injured and needed his help.

This time he was there for her.

As the hours wore on and night gave way to the clear ,bright morning, Cloud began to worry. He had once heard that the longer a person was in a coma the less chance there was of them waking up, but he couldn't remember if that was true or if it was just him being paranoid. Cloud sat by the bed ,longing to look into her deep emerald green eyes ,he had only caught a glimpse of them before she collapsed and there had been too many emotions in them to understand at once , even for him.

He reached out and touched her cheek, cupping her face in his hand. She felt warm.

"Aeris" he said, "I wish you could hear me"

Suddenly her lips parted and she let out a slight moan. It was the first definite thing she had done since collapsing and Cloud's heart skipped a beat as he heard the sound. Just as suddenly as she had moaned ,her arm moved and grasped limply at Cloud's wrist ,pulling his arm closer to her. Cloud's heart melted at this, and he almost started to cry. He was relived she wasn't in a coma, but he longed for her to awake, to hear her voice again and see her beautiful eyes.

Author: Please please please R&R this and I will continue the story.
