Chapter 3 The Dream
Cloud Strife awoke bathed in sweet, before falling off his bed in a tangle of sheets, Cloud groaned as he heaved himself from off the floor, and sat back on the bed. "That dream...that memory, again...Why?..." Cloud closed his eyes and clenched his fists as he remembered the horrid memory flooding back.
Flash back *~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
"Why Sephiroth, I trusted you! You basterd!" Cloud called as he lifted up his Ultima blade and a tear ran down his face.
"Trust? From you? The only person I trust is my mother Jenova, now get out of the way before I make you" Sephiroth's voice was cold, as were his eyes, he didn't sound right...he didn't look right...
The Ultima blade and the Mesumae clashed together, sparks went flying from the impact as the two weapons met in midair. "Sephiroth please...no...No your not the man I'm in love with, your not him..." Another tear fell down Cloud's cheek as he struggled to keep his blade steady.
Something in Sephiroth stirred, his eyes were returning to normal, they widened in shock and recognition, before he slowly lowered his Mesumae. "...C...Cloud?" The General's voice had softened considerably, and he sounded quite bewildered as he stared at the blonde warrior before him. Cloud lowered his blade and nodded.
"Seph...I'm so sorry...I...I have to do this...if I don't...you'll destroy the world..." Sephiroth's eyes widened as he realized what he'd done over the past few months and shook his head, taking a step towards his blonde lover.
"No Cloud...I'm sorry..." Then before Cloud could even react, Sephiroth plunged his blade right though himself. Cloud thought he could her screaming, and then he realized dimly, that it was himself as he dropped his Ultima blade and sprinted to Sephiroth's side. "Sephiroth No!" Cloud cried, as he slowly took out the bloody Mesumae, tears falling down his face, and falling onto Sephiroth's. "Seph...no.please, don't leave me...I love you..." Sephiroth gasped and coughed, a thin trickle of blood falling down his cheek as he smiled weakly. "I...I love you...too" Then Sephiroth leaned up with the last of his energy and kissed Cloud.
Cloud could feel the metallic taste of blood in his mouth as they kissed, before he felt the strength leaving Sephiroth, and he died in Cloud's arms. "Seph?" Cloud whispered shaking Sephiroth gently, but it was too late, he had gone, Cloud blinked then he let his emotions go, and he cried, he didn't think he would stop, until he decided there was nothing he could do to help him,
Cloud wiped his face, Grabbed the two weapons and looked at them. 'I want to be with you always Seph...I will be with you!' Cloud took hold of his Ultima blade, ready to perform Hiri Keri (Did I spell it right?), ready to die for Sephiroth...
"Cloud!" Cloud turned quickly, letting the blades drop to his sides, as Tifa, Red and Vincent arrived. "Is...Is he gone?" Tifa asked, before she noticed the body on the ground nearby.
"Yeah, let's go home" Cloud sighed, as he turned and walked away form the dead body of his lover...
End Flashback *~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*
Cloud sighed, wiping the tears that had formed on his face, away. 'I would have killed myself that day...if it hadn't been for Tifa...I owe her more that she knows...' Cloud sighed and walked to the window before sitting on the sill and staring at the stars, just as he saw a comet fly by. 'Ancients...planet...take care of him, for me...please' Then with one last look at the starry sky. Cloud once again headed to sleep. 'Seph...'
*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*
Sephiroth was falling, he knew he was, he cloud feel the wing whipping at his face and hair as he fell down wards... 'Hang on Cloud...I'm coming for you'. There was a dull thump as Sephiroth slammed into the ground. "Oww..." Sephiroth groaned as he painfully sat up, then realized, he'd landed in an alleyway that resembled a garbage dump. "Great, thank you Ancients, not only did you give me a bad landing, I'm going to stink as well" Sephiroth sighed and walked out of the ally and into what he recognized at the main street of sector 2.
+Remember Sephiroth, Cloud's friends are over protective of him+ Sephiroth sighed and rolled his eyes.
'I know, I'll be patient and stay away from Cloud, I wish I could see him though...' Sephiroth heard Aries sigh in his head.
+It would be a lot easier if you weren't so stubborn you know+ Sephiroth shrugged.
'I know but I can't change the way I am' Aries laughed.
+You'll never change, if you need to talk you know where I am, good luck Sephiroth+ Sephiroth nodded as he headed down the street.
'Thanks I'll need it'
