A/N: Sorry about the update time, but I lost my internet connection plus I had a lot of school work. Anyway now I'll thank the reviewers and get on with the fic. So thanks to BJ Louis, silvawolf, Shadowz, That girl next door, and Aeris-TheWhiteMageofCetras. Well now I'll get on with the fic.
Chapter Five: Searching for Sephiroth
The door to the Shinra mansion creaked loudly as it slid open. Cloud entered first with his rifle leveled, ready to shoot anything that might try to attack him. When nothing came out he moved further into the mansion and Zack followed him in. The two of them took a quick look around the first room of the mansion. Cloud and Zack looked at each other, nodded, then headed in diffrent directions with Zack looking around the first floor and Cloud going up the stairs.
At the top of the stairs Cloud went to the left and reached three doors. Cloud first tried the door on the left, kicking it open and pointing his rifle inside to make sure there weren't any monsters. Then he noticed there was nothing in the room except some beds and a few other unimportant items. Of course there was no Sephiroth either so Cloud decided to check the room to the right of the one he was in now. He once again kicked the door open and now was aiming his rifle at a room full of plants. "Scary" Cloud muttered sarcasticlly. Cloud then approached the third room.
Cloud stopped at the door to this room, however, because he was getting a bad feeling. He couldn't explain it but he had this feeling in his gut that he shoulnd't go in there. Ignoring that feeling, he kicked the door open and found himself staring at another empty room. Then he noticed the safe and for some reason started to approach. The closer Cloud got to the safe the worse the feeling in his gut got. He walked in front of the safe and tryed to decide wether or not to try and open it. Shaking his head, he walked out of the room. "Why I was even thinking of opening that, I've got to look for Sephiroth" Cloud thought then continued on till he reached the stairs again.
Now he headed the other way and when he reached the area where the hallway parted he headed down the left hallway. He heard some creaks in the floor but ignored it and checked the room at the end of the hall. He looked inside just to see that the room was full of junk. Sighing to himself he walked into the room that was on the right side of the hallway. He noticed that this room led to another bedroom. He walked into the bedroom and looked around. All he saw was a single bed, some other items he wouldn't need, and a strange wall. It looked like it was made of stone. Cloud started to walk toward it, not noticing something coming up behind him.
"Hey Cloud!" Zack cheefully said behind the yound MP. Cloud, not expecting to hear anything, nearly jumped out of his skin. He dropped his rifle and whirled around to see Zack laughing at him. "ZACK! WHAT THE HELL'S WRONG WITH YOU! DON'T SNEAK UP ON ME LIKE THAT!" Cloud helled as loud as he could. Zack just started to chuckle, then got serious. "Any sign of Sephiroth?" he asked Cloud. Cloud lowered his head as if ashamed and just let out a barley audible "No". Zack noticed his friend slipping back into depression, and thought he'd try to cheer him up. "Come on Cloud, will find him" Zack said.
Cloud just nodded then walked over to the strange stone wall. "Yeah I guess so but where could he..." Cloud didn't get a chance to finish as he leaned against the stone wall and it suddenly slid out of the way. Not expecting it, Cloud fell backward into the room beyond the wall. Zack looked suprised and started to rush forward as Cloud tumbled onto an old wooden spiral staircase and started to fall off the to step...
A/N: Well I hope everyone enjoys this chapter and please don't kill me for the cliffhanger. Especially since this is something that happens before the game so you should realize nothings going to happen to Cloud. Unless you haven't played the game, but then why would you be in the FFVII section? I'm gonna shut up now.
