-Later on,in the lobby-
"Cmon Miss Tifa,what did he do?"
"He hates me...he doesnt want to even be near me..." She wiped tears
from her cheeks
"But why Miss Tifa?"
She shook her head "I dont know...Ive never done anything to Cloud
except be by his side on everything he's ever done...and now he just pushes
me away like im just a sick stanger.."
Phil inturrupted "He's working for Hades you know..maybe he doesnt
want to put you in harms way,right? Am I right?"
She looked over to the goat man "Its possible..he's changed so much
since i last saw him...Cloud...he looks so...evil"
Sora turned "Yeah..but deep down he-"
Tifa spoke up "Deep down he is pure...I know...what happened to the
cloud i once knew...?"
Sora looked at her "He probably had no choice to work for Hades,most
likely Hades has threatend to take something from him that he cant afford to lose"
Donald frowned a bit and looked at them both "Wel,whie duntcha asck
him yerslef?" he quacked agian
Goofy turned as they saw Cloud conversating with someone who was a little
shrouded in darkness at the entrace of the world
Tifa nodded and tried to toughen up "You're right,maybe it was just
a misunderstanding,i know he cares about me..i just know it..."
"Ok tough guy,you know what you have to do dont ya,dont be playing
with the lord of the dead-thats me by the way-because I could end you just as
easily as i brung you here"
He nodded "Yeh..I know..destroy the kid.."
Hades chuckled "Wow,full of spirt arent ya buddy boy? Well,i have other
important things to deal with so im outa here for now" He dissapeared into the
darkness..
Cloud saw Tifa approching him agian out of the corner of his eye as she
slowed as she got closer,he tilted his head over at her
"Um..Cloud..may I have a word with you...please?"
He stayed silent
"I know about you..and how your working for that Hades fellow..but can
you atleast reassure me that one day you will be able to be around me agian,I mean..
everyone wants to see you agian,really bad,and me..theres something I need to
tell you if you come back..so do you think you will?" She put her hands together,
hoping his answer would be yes
"No"
Her eyes watered agian "B..but I.."
"Stop talking to me,go away..far away"
"Her face became an expression of anger "CLOUD! STOP BEING LIKE THIS!
I KNOW THIS ISNT YOU!! YOUR NOT THE CLOUD THAT I HELD THAT NIGHT BEFORE WE KILLED
SEPHIROTH"
He sneered a bit under his scarf "Im the same man..just different
desires and morals..and one of those morals is to not trust anyone..including you,
Tifa"
She shook her fist as if she was going to knock the hell out of him,but
knew she couldnt do that even if she tried "Cloud..."
He slowly stood off the wall,walking past her back into the areana
She stood there as this angst was tearing her up on the inside,ripping
her limb from limb,her stomach turned,she felt as if she was about to throw up
her own heart as the only man she had ever loved had told her to stay far away
from him..and she knew he knew she couldnt do that...
"TIFA!" Sora ran to her side agian "What is it this time?"
Tifa shook her fist and almost swung at Sora to vent her anger
He jolted back a few steps "Im sorry Miss Tifa"
She slowly sat down,gripping her knees tightly "Go away,I dont need you
to be around me anymore,just go"
He looked around slowly "But...Miss Tifa.."
"LEAVE ME!!"
He backed away "Yes Miss Tifa.." He rejoined the group and went back into
the areana lobby
"Hey babe,whatya doin out here all alone? Loose something?" A strange
voice called to her from the darkness
She stayed silent
"Aww hey,cheer up hot stuff,theres plenty of other fish in the sea besides that
guy" He slowly trotted over to her,his flaming head of hair a light blue and
a devious smirk across his face "Hey kid,you awake?"
She clenched her fist "No..he's my only desire"
He smirked even more "You want him that badly? Well,maybe I could help
you out,you scratch my back I massage yours,allright?"
She looked up at the god of death himself,frowning profusly as she sat,
waiting for his offer "Ok..what do I have to do..?"
"Cmon Miss Tifa,what did he do?"
"He hates me...he doesnt want to even be near me..." She wiped tears
from her cheeks
"But why Miss Tifa?"
