Soul Mates
Chapter VII
"So how drunk is Cloud now?" Tifa scornfully said.
"He aint drunk Tifa." said Barret.
"Really? Well where the hell is he?"
"Tifa, babe, just relaaax. You always get mad about him, don't let him get to you." said Vincent. Tifa looked at Vincent first with an angry face but then looked into his eyes and could see that he was only trying to help the woman he loved and immediately felt sorry for Cloud.
"You're right, but I still would like to know where he is, I mean, he said that he would be here."
"Hes in Midgar." sighed Barret. A look of shock and surprise consumed everyone's face.
"Barret don't lie goddamnit! Hes gotta be wasted! The boys went off the deep end! We should go help out the little bastard!" Cid said.
"I just hope hes not there doing what I think he is." said Tifa. Silence overtook the room.
"Well? Da fuck do you think hes doing?" asked Cid. Vincent peered into Cid's eyes. "Uh...sorry there Tifa. What do you think hes doing?"
Vincent smiled.
"Its ok Cid. I don't really care if you talk that way around me. Everyone else does." Tifa said.
"Do you think that he went back to where he first met Aeris?" Red asked.
"I think that he went there because hes so drunk he thinks that he'll find her there. Remember the last time he was here? He said he was gunna' go back to her because he coudn't stand being around all of us." Tifa said.
"Cloud told me that he went to where Aeris used ta live and said that some fool there told him that he saw Aeris. I've never heard him sound so excited. He sounded so different...so...happy. I believe him." Barret said.
Nobody else really knew what to think. The thought of Aeris ever coming back never entered there minds before. The brutality of her death made sure that that thought never entered their minds.
"I just hope he doesn't get himself into any trouble." said Tifa.

Aeris awoke the next day in the afternoon. Wallace was asleep in the other room. Aeris got out of bed and took a long hot shower. She was still having trouble believing she was here. She remembered bits and pieaces of the Lifestream. She also had images in her head of her mother and father.
"Did they tell me something? Why can't I remember?" Aeris got out of the shower and put back on her dress. There was nothing on her body that would resemble a stab wound. Where Sephiroth's massive sword had impaled her there was nothing. She went to a local beach store and bought a bikini. Finally she could relax a little. Everyone there noticed her beauty. It was so pure and natural. As she was laying out she could feel the eyes on her. She wished he was here right now...
Wallace approached her from behind. He wasn't dressed for the beach. He had his fading jeans on and a white undershirt on. He was completely blown away by Aeris in a bikini. The pink fabric highlited all of her amazing curves. He blushed as she noticed him.
"Hi there." Aeris said.
" Well hello there. You look great there cutie!" Wallace said.
"Thanks." laughed Aeris.
"Have I got some news for you!"
"What?"
"Your freind Cloud lives here. He left yesterday before we got here but he should be back."
"Are you serious?" Aeris was overjoyed.
"Of course. I geuss we just have to stay here until he comes back. You seem to have the idea."
Aeris smiled. "Well that doesn't sound too bad."
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Cloud was back at his boat but had no idea where to go. He saw the bottle of Jack he brought with him. The temptation was heavy. He began thinking about going to the City of the Ancients. Just the thought of that cold and lonely place made him want to pick up that bottle.
"NO! I fucking can't." Cloud was almost compelled to drink. He didn't know why. He knew what would happen if he did. He wouldn't end up anywhere. Images of Aeris with a sword sticking out of her now dominated his mind. The blood running down the cold blade. The blood running from her mouth down her face. Her eyes closing and never opening up again. He was losing himself again and before he knew it he drank half of the bottle. Tears were running down his face when he thought of her. He wished he could have been so much more to her when she was with him. He started up the boat...
He was on his wat back to Costa Del Sol. He was on his way to her. Almost being guided blindly. He was on his way to the Promised Land, and the best part of it all was he didn't even know it.

Aothor's notes: Another chapter complete. Sorry if this one was a little boring but I liked it. I didn't wanna make Cloud all predictable and heroic by searching the world for Aeris. I wanted to show that he was still weak without Aeris and the only way he will get better is with her. Chapter eight is gonna be a lotta fun to write and I can't wait to write it. Expect the next one soon. I love the reviews so far but I wished there were more! I wanna know what FF7 fans think about my little story, so plz R&R! thanks for reading.-Naz
