A/N: DAMMIT IF I OWNED IT SEPHY WOULD BE LOCKED IN MY ROOM OKAY?! So I don't! BLAH!
Crossed Paths
It was the next day when Cloud woke up. He had slept the entire day, even though he felt energized he knew that he was still tired. He even had a dream, that Sephiroth had broken out of the LifeStream and was comming after him! But he knew that couldn't be true. Could it? Cloud didn't want to even think of what could or should he say WOULD happen if that were to come true....
"Cloud?" said a voice
Cloud had been in his room, unconciously sharpening his Ultima Weapon as though a battle was comming up. He looked at where the sound was comming from. It was Tifa again. Not wanting to see her face, he looked down. He had then realized that he was sharpening his sword. He also realized that he didn't love Tifa anymore.
"What?" he replied coldly
"A-are you okay? You slept all of yesterday away, it's not like you to give up a chance to hunt for more gil."
"I'm fine Tifa, don't worry about me okay?"
"Why?"
"Because, I don't need anyone taking care of me, I'm not some baby! I can make decisions on my own and if I want to sleep all day, then that's none of your business Tifa."
His voice sounded cold to her. She looked at Cloud with confusion and hurt in her eyes. She didn't know what to make of what Cloud had just said to her... Was she not, Cloud's fiancee?Did he forget that? Or was he playing with her, she couldn't really tell at this point. Though something about him seemed serious. And she started to question everything about their relationship. If you could call what they had, one.
"I didn't say that you were a baby. I-I just wanted to know if you were okay..."
Cloud sighed and continued what he was doing. But before long, Tifa bursted out into tears, breaking the silence. He hated to continue to lie to her and hurt her but until he was he was sure of his love, he had to. When he saw Tifa cry, which she rarely did, the part of him that still loved her comforted her. She glanced at him, her eyes still full of confusion and hugged him as hard as she could..........
"I still love you Tifa....., I do."
There it was again. But this time sharper. The pain seemed to grow with the bigger lies that he told. He felt it this time even more than the last. He winced in pain as Tifa hugged him harder. Tifa gazed into his eyes and kissed him. Usually Cloud felt a spark, but when he kissed her, he felt nothing at all......
"Poor Cloud, poor poor confused Cloud..... Don't know whether you love her or not. It's simple because you DON'T."
Cloud ignored the fact that what Sephiroth had wsaid was true..... He didn't love her.... But then who DID he love?
"If I didn't know any better, I'd say you loved me. But then again, that's impossible right? seeing as we're enemies."
Cloud was silent for a moment. He began to think about what Sephiroth had just said. Was it true? Did Cloud love Sephiroth? Cloud didn't want to think of what would happen if he did so he put it further back into his mind. He tried to concentrate on Tifa and her feelings. He looked down at her. She had a soft glow to her. She had fallen asleep in his arms..... He knew that she would be even more hurt if he told her now. Scolding himself for not loving the beautifal maiden that had fallen asleep against him, he took her to his bed. He layed her down and kissed her forehead, He then left the room.
"That was sweet of you."
"Shut up! I don't need to hear from you." growled Cloud
"Sure, blame me for your love problems! Hey if it wasn't for me, you and Tifa wouldn't have gotten together!!"
Cloud sighed and decided that maybe taking a walk by himself would cheer him up. He left the room and went outside of his house.
"I'll never get used to seeing everything so......"
"So lively? Is that what you're trying to say?
"............"
Cloud walked around. He felt so different in his heart.... But then something hit him... What was this feeling? It feels like danger is nearby but would Cloud know from where? Cloud stopped in the middle of his walk. The bushes russled. He pulled out his Ultima Weapon.
"WHO'S THERE! COME OUT AND SHOW YOURSELF!"
"That's really smart.... Let them know that you're there so that they can AMBUSH YOU."
The russle became louder and louder. Soon a figure came out... It's.......
"YUFFIE!"
"Huh? Did I scare yoa? Huh huh? Cause it looked like I did! Nyak nyak nyak!"
"Yuffie, that wasn't funny! I could've killed you!!"
"All Creation would've taken care of that worry for you." grinned Yuffie
"That's not the point geez, I thought you were HIM!"
"Who's him?"
"...................."
"You mean Sephiroth don't you?"
"............."
"You believe he's still alive? But that's impossible! You killed him, and he DIED."
"I know, I guess that I well... I sorta..... well I don't know anymore."
"That's okay Cloud! Have you seen Tifa? I've been looking all over for her and I can't find her!"
"What for?!"
"For um.....um........"
Yuffie began to stammer and blush. She nkew what she wanted to say, but couldn't dare say it in front of a boy!! Let alone Cloud, he wouldn't understand! She looked down and sorta mummbles something incoherantly under her breath.
"What?"
"Something! It's really important! I'm really in need of her help!"
"Yuffie, just tell me what it is and I can help you."
"I don't think you can."
"What is it?"
"Are you sure?"
"Yes."
Yuffie whispers something into Cloud's ears. His eyes widen with horror and nkows that Yuffie DEFINETLY needs Tifa's help.
"She's uh, uh, in my room sleeping! Just don't er.....bleed anymore okay? Well not in my room... I just er...got it cleaned!"
"Don't worry about me Cloud! Nyak nyak!"
"I'm more worried about my room."
By the time he had said that Yuffie had vanished. Cloud continued on until he got to somewhere very familiar. All of a sudden as though he was in a trance, he followed a path until he unconciously got to a place where it was forbidden to go, ever since that day..... All of a sudden he felt cold. He looked around and his trance was broken. It had taken him all the way to the Northern Crater. And what's more, was that it seemed that Sephiroth's voice in his head had stopped. The Crater looked different.... Cloud used to sneak and bring himself there after the battle just to wander around again... But today, something was wrong..... The place didn't seem deserted anymore. Dragons roamed around like before.......everything was alive....just like it was when HE was there....
"What's going on?" Cloud thought to himself
He found himself walking the same path that he had tooken to get to Sephiroth. What was he doing? He didn't know why, but something made him go that way... After fighting monsters and collecting gil, he finally reached the spot where Sephiroth was... There...he saw someone he thought he'd never see agai. Was it his imagination? Or did he just see.... No, it couldn't be Sephiroth!!
"Who's down there?" Cloud shouted
"Surely you'd know...." the cold voice said
This time he was for sure that the voice wasn't comming from his head. He spun around just in time to see Sephiroth attack him!! As he fought him he wandered to himself what brought Sephiroth back. Cloud attacked Sephiroth with 4X cut but Sephiroth blocked his attacks! It even seemed that Sephiroth had gained more power!
"What the hell is going on?" thought Cloud
Finally after 20 minutes of fighting Sephiroth had the advantage... He pinned Cloud in the corner and knocked away his sword. Cloud fell back on the cold ground. When Cloud tried to read for it, Sephiroth kicked it away. Cloud was at Sephiroth's mercy now.
"Why are you back?!" Cloud asked
Cloud thought Sephiroth was going to kill him. His heart pounded, his life flashed before his eyes. He remembered his friends, Tifa, Yuffie, Barret, Vincent, Red XIII, Cid and Caitsith... But instead of Sephiroth killing him... Sephiroth bent down until his face was level to Cloud's...
"This is only the beginning of your eternal torture my friend...."
Saying that, Sephiroth roughly forced his lips against Cloud's while biting it, making Cloud bleed. Sephiroth tasted Cloud's blood as he kissed him..... After the rough kiss, Sephiroth knocked Cloud out... And with some of his magic, returned Cloud to his home. Sephiroth laughed to himself, when realizing that, knowing Cloud, he'd be back. And when he came, Sephiroth would show him what pain REALLY meant.
