Chapter 9 being reunited with an enemy
Cloud blinked his mouth unknowingly to him, dropping open in shock, he could not have heard his silver haired lover properly, and he mustn't have. "Whoa! Wait a minute Seph, let me get this absolutely crystal clear, you want to come with me to work at Tifa's and in doing so, announcing to the whole bar, and maybe the whole of Midgar, that were together?
Sephiroth didn't answer at first, he just smirked in amusement at the extremely cute but bewildered look on the blonde warrior's face, it just made Cloud look all the more adorable.
Sephiroth stepped forward and stood in front of Cloud, who was still currently only half dressed and ever so gently, brushed some of the stray strands of blonde hair out of his delicate face that were falling into his bright blue eyes. "Cloud...please at least try to be reasonable, are you going to go and lie to your friends? They would see through it and you know it" Cloud sighed.
"Oh really how? I've lied to them before, why not now? I don't want them to hurt you again...I don't want to hurt you again..." Cloud sighed sadly and Sephiroth chuckled, kissing the blonde on the forehead gently, to tried and reassure him that he was fine.
"Cloud, you're the world's strongest fighter, but you're the world's worst lair, and you know it" Cloud sighed and lowered his head, seemingly interested in the floorboards. 'Should I? Should I tell them? Do I really want my friends to know? After all they did think I was going crazy!' At this point Cloud clenched his fists in anger, but even that left before he sighed. 'How can I blame them, they only wanted what was best, and it is absurd, saying you saw someone you killed is alive, well no surprise they thought I was going crazy, hell I thought I was going crazy!'
Cloud smiled and looked back up at Sephiroth, who seemed almost anxious for his response. Cloud wrapped his arms around Sephiroth and grinned. "Alright, we'll do it your way for once, well tell them together" Sephiroth smiled and nodded, wrapping his arms around Cloud before kissing him deeply, then once they had parted, Sephiroth threw Cloud his shirt. "Well hurry up and get dressed then, before I start to ravish you again, just give me a second, I need to wash my hair" Cloud smiled and did as he was told laughing at Sephiroth's comment
Once the two were dressed (hair washed and un-dyed in Seph's case ^^) and ready, both were stood at the door looking at one another. "Well Seph, are you ready to go and face the world?" Sephiroth nodded his silver hair gleaming once more. "I am if you are.spike" Cloud growled and mock glared at him before he pushed Sephiroth out the door.

Tifa Lockheart was NOT in a good mood, she was run off her feet, a ton of customers to serve and now she had Reno. "I am so going to KILL Cloud when he gets here!" Tifa snarled as she served one customer after another, Reno just smirked and shrugged as he went behind the bar to help Tifa. "Hey Tif, you never know he MIGHT have met you-know-who?" Reno said grinning. Tifa growled irritably and resisted the urge to grab hold of the red headed Turks neck and strangle him.
"Just shut the HELL up Reno before it's you I kill!" Reno backed away out of Tifa's reach hastily, a broad grin on his face. The crowd had just started to thin out as Vincent arrived. "Vincent! Oh thank god have you seen Cloud? He hasn't come for work!" The ruby eyed Ex-Turk frowned and shook his head.
"No I haven't seen him since last night; it's not like him to be late..." Vincent murmured as he sat down at the bar as most people had gone away. Tifa sighed calming down a bit as the crowd disappeared. "I know, I'm really worried about him Vincent, I really hope he's okay".
Reno smirked and laughed "I'm sure he's fine, I bet he had a REALLY good night if you know what I mean!" Vincent just rolled his eyes at the red head while Tifa gave him a 'one-more-word-and-you-will-die' look. "What? I'm just saying what I think that's all" Reno said hastily.
Tifa sighed and shook her head. "Okay Reno you have a point...But Sephiroth is dead, we all saw him die...how can he be brought back to life? It seems impossible" Vincent and Reno exchanged a look but both shrugged.
Reno sighed before, sat up suddenly. "Hey! Maybe the Ancients brought Sephiroth back, you never know, maybe they knew something we didn't? Tifa you said yourself that Cloud felt guilty for killing Sephiroth right? Well what if they brought Seph back for Cloud?" Vincent stared at the Turk in amazement; Reno was a lot more logical and intelligent than he let on.
Tifa gave Reno on of her 'Are-you-crazy!' looks while Vincent nodded. "Tifa, there is some logic behind Reno's statement, Reno, I hate to say this...but I think your assumptions are right" Tifa sighed and nodded reluctantly, then the door of the bar opened and the whole room grew silent.
Tifa's eyes widened in shock Cole had just come into the bar, the biggest smile she had EVER seen on his face. Reno also gaped while Vincent just raised an eyebrow. Cloud walked up to the bar, but before he could reach it, Tifa had run around the bar and caught him in a hug. "CLOUD STRIFE!! WHERE THE HELL HAVE YOU BEEN!!!" Tifa screamed making the whole bar wince, Cloud just laughed, hugging his childhood friend back, and Tifa blinked in shock, Cloud hadn't laughed since, well ever!.
"I've just been reunited with an old enemy" Cloud then turned to face the door and in stepped, Sephiroth, many people backed away in fear as he walked towards the bar, Tifa's eyes widened to the size of saucers, Reno blanched and fainted on the floor, while Vincent just rose his other eyebrow.
"Hello Tifa" Sephiroth said looking at her, as her mouth dropped open, then to Vincent "Vincent". Vincent didn't answer him, just nodded and Sephiroth was sure there was a hint of a smile on his lips behind that tattered scarf of his. But when his eyes fell on Reno who was currently in a heap on the floor, he laughed, the whole room seemed to shrink back at this sound, even though there was no more room for anyone to go, bar the door.
Tifa swore she would have fainted along with Reno, if Cloud wasn't holding her up. "Tifa I think we all need to talk, would it be alright if we closed the bar?" Cloud asked her gently, Tifa just nodded dumbly and regained a use of her legs and her voice. "Alright everyone! OUT!" No one needed to be told twice, and the bar was emptied in record time. A soon as the bar was emptied she turned and went to the bar. "I need a drink" She sighed, grabbing a bottle of what looked like whisky and got out 5 glasses.
"Vincent please wake up Reno, he's just cluttering the up the little floor space I have" Tifa asked, Vincent nodded and hauled the red head to his feet. Who woke up with a start. "Vinnie? Oh Jesus I had the weirdest dr-" The red head broke off as he caught sight of Sephiroth, who seemed to be trying very hard not to laugh. "Uh...H...Hi Sephiroth..." Reno stammered as he got to his feet.
Sephiroth sniggered and sat down at the bar Reno reluctantly joining them, his eyes wide. Tifa poured the whiskey into the glasses and pushed them towards the four, before she took one herself and drained it. "Okay...talk Cloud...what the hell is going on?" Cloud and Sephiroth exchanged a look before they turned back to Tifa and the others. "It's really a long story, but we'll try..."
Outside the bar door, a small transparently white figure listened in, and smiled...
