A/N: HEY! due to your requests...I'M BACK! wheee! yay! "O mickey u so fine, u so fine u blow my--" never mind. n-e-ways, thanks SO much Midas, you are SUCH a SWEETIE! Yeah...heh heh, Alan did say everything, didn't he? I'll try to do betters, HONEST! This chappie is short, but it's also the other half of chapter 1 that i forgot to post...sorrie. Here ya'll go! Chapter 2 is almost done. i should have it posted this weekend...
"Tifa?!" I called out, searching throughout the bowels (eew) of the wrecked ship, my heart feeling like it was in my throat. I called out for her, over and over, but no beautiful wine colored eyes greeted me...no sunshine smile played on kissible lips, no long soft brown hair fanning her perfect face. WHERE THE HELL WAS SHE!? Gods...what if she had fallen...she could be hurt! or worse....
After searching until I felt like I was about to drop, I returned to the "deck". I noticed that Barret and Cid had woken up. "$#!^!!" Cid was yelling, "YOU FU#*#@#! COULDN'T YOU TELL YOU WERE SITTING ON #($&# OUR #($&#@($&#( BODIES!?" "YO FOO! DON'T YOU YELL AT ME YOU SONOFAB@!$*!!" Red sat patiently, and i noticed, he looked a little miffed. I guess being crushed by two not overly thin men had that affect on people.
Yuffie stood wobbily, leaning slightly on VIncent, looking "ill". Slowly, she released him and tried to walk forward, swaying and grabbing suddenly to the ships twisted guardrail. "Oh gawd...." she said, holding her stomach with her free hand. She looked quite green actually.
I allowed a quick smile at her 'pain', then felt bad. "that was worse..." she was saying..."than that time, i was at my aunts house... and my cousins 'kidnapped' me...they hung me upside down and swung me back and forth...and OHMIGAWDGETOUTTADAWAYIMGONNABARFOHUGHIMDYIN!!" She turned and 'threw up' over the side of the ship, quite violently.
I flinched, then what had happened came running back to hit me in the face. "T-Tifa!? Where's Tifa?!" I gasped suddenly, feeling like a dumbass for forgetting her. Barret shrugged. "I dunno Spike." he replied, his face not showing any worry. I couldn't believe that! If looks could kill, he would've been screwed.
He gave me a pacifying glance. "I'm sorry Cloud, sure..yeah. She should be around here somewhere...she should be fine." I refused to believe him, I couldn't believe it. Then, for some reason, a memory, an old one, hit me.
:::::FLASHBACK:::::
"You still--you still love her..don't you Cloud?" Tifa asked me in little above a whisper, her fingertips stroking my cheek in a warm caress softly. I rested my head in her lap, and was content as we sat in the grassy hills above Gongaga, shortly after Aeris' death. I had just regianed my sanity from the Lifestream.
I looked up, and saw heartache in her eyes. She looked away swiftly, causing me to sit up. "T-Tifa!" I said softly, but she refused to look at me. I forced her to with my hand, and saw a tear stream down her cheek. But, I couldn't lie to her. "I-I can't say Tif's. I don't know what feelings are real..and what's not." she turned from me again. "BUT...I do know that i care deeply for you." I finished.
She stood up, and dusted herself off. "Cloud," she smiled, but i could tell that it was fake. "The other's are waiting for us. We'd better get back to camp, ok?" before I could reply, she turned and under her breath i thought i heard her say 'sorry'. She ran from me, back to our comrades.
~~~~~END FLASHBACK~~~~~
A/N: Sorry to interrupt, but i just wanted to let u kno, this IS significant to the story! Just...not at the moment...Keep it in mind tho!
I woke up suddenly, drenched in a cold sweat. My heart pounded like drums in my ears, and when i touched my chest, I felt it soaked with the mositure. I didn't know what woke me, maybe it was a nightmare. None of the others were awake, they all lay, scattered around our makeshift camp, snoring or sleeping in various positions.
I felt a sudden bolt of fear run through me like lightning..well, okay, it i've never been struck by lightning bolt, but hey? I stood up swiftly, and grabbed my Ultima Sword. I felt a wind chill my body, and i shivered as a strange feeling swept over me. Slowly, I backed away from the fire, into the protection of the shadowy forrest surrounding the clearing (ironic).
A prescence swept into the clearing, brushing over my still sleeping party members. Shadows made way to a darker figure, that swept noiselessly into the encampment (i think). I stepped back a little more, cringing as a twig snapped behind me. The figure stopped moving.
"Cloud??" a soft voice whispered from the hood of the dark cloak that covered the figure. I gasped. It couldn't be!! That voice...so familiar! NO! It couldn't be..slowly, the cloak dropped to the soft loam below, revealing that the person was...
