Eyes of a Demon

Chapter 2

Cloud sat up from his bed and walked toward the window, staring into the fierce storm. Luckily, they decided to find a place to crash before rain hit them. As he finished inspecting the weather, he made his way across the room and stopped in the middle, looking down at his feet.

'What the heck is bothering me so much?' he thought to himself. '… ah, whatever. It must be all that traveling. I should be fine tomorrow morning.'

As he turned his head towards the window, a tree branch loudly scratched the window.

"Looks like we won't be leaving this place for a while."

And at that, soft knocking on the door was heard. He quickly turned around so that he was facing directly at the door.

"Who is it?"

"It's Anna."

"What do you want?"

"Uhm… Tifa said that you had the bandages?"

"Wha?"

Then Cloud remembered that he did have the bandages. They were in his pocket. He was going to return them to Tifa, but he had forgotten all about it when he started to act cold to his friends.

He made his way towards the door and opened it as Anna greeted him with her shy side-to-side wave. Cloud then handed the bandages to her.

"Thanks," Anna responded as she looked up into Cloud's Mako colored eyes. "Are you… feeling okay?"

"Yeah, I'll be fine tomorrow," he replied back as he scratched the back of his head.

Anna smiled slightly.

"Oh, okay. See ya!"

As Anna left Cloud's sight, he watched her run down the hallway and into her room. 'She's so shy,' Cloud thought to himself. 'Maybe hanging out with other people will help her with that. I bet anything Yuffie'll fix that right up.' Just the thought of that made Cloud smile.

The next morning didn't even seem like morning. It was only 8 o'clock and it was still dark outside. The weather had gotten even worse over night. AVALANCHE and Anna met up in the lobby, now dressed in their rain jackets… except Red and Anna.

Yuffie, who was always the most impatient person in the whole bunch, waved her arms around, almost whacking Cid in the face.

"Are we leaving?" she whined.

"No," Cloud said as he faced everyone. "Since we're going to be stuck here for a while…"

"WHAT!" Barret and Cid both exclaimed out loud, cutting Cloud's speech short.

As the two boys continued their quarrel, Red sighed at that then leaned towards Vincent.

"Told you."

"… so, we're going to train out there," Cloud added, causing the expressions on everyone's faces change from 'lalalaaa' to 'what!' (even tho Cid and Barret were already expressing that P)

"Damn! I'd rather torture the squirt than this," Cid mumbled to himself.

Anna, who obviously overheard his loud thoughts, narrowed her turquoise eyes at him.

"Train? In this horrible weather?" Tifa finally said as she pulled the hood of the jacket over her head.

"I'm afraid so," Cloud told her. "But, this'll be… fun?"

"Che. Hardly!" Yuffie blurted out.

"It will! Seriously, I assure you that this'll help us with our upcoming battles."

"How is that fun…" the ninja wondered to herself.

Anna crossed her arms and sighed.

"You guys are so lucky! I wanna do something!"

Cid acked at that and shook her shoulders like crazy.

"Are you nuts? Consider yourself lucky! You have two robotic things to worry about!"

"… don't mention about those again…" growled Anna. She was tired of someone always mentioning her two… "robotic things". Especially Cid.

"We'll be back in an hour," Cloud assured to Anna as everyone made their way out the doors of the hotel.

Anna sighed loudly and sat down at one of the tables that had a newspaper on it. As she stared at the black and white piece of paper for a few moments, she quickly grabbed it and gasped.

"No way!" she squealed to herself. "A Red Moon tonight? Finally!" she paused then sighed. "Not awesome. With this weather… I can't even survive out there with these… 'robotic things' without rusting. I need something to cover them up…"

She quickly looked up and made her way to her room.

'I really hope they don't remember…'
