Eyes of a Demon

Chapter 4

Pants… long sleeves… pants… long sleeves. Anna couldn't think of anything else! It was only three in the afternoon, just hours away before the Red Moon would appear… and she wasn't ready at all. If it wasn't for her robot parts, she could just relax… but NO. It just HAD to rain.

'I could get Cid's pants… but who knows where those have been,' Anna thought to herself. 'Barrets' pants are ridiculously huge… Vincent won't let me touch his things thanks to before… the only person left is…'

Cloud. Oh… how she didn't want to ask him for anything. Anna never really talked to the guy that much. And it wouldn't really sound smart if she just asked Cloud to hand his pants over to her. Dirty thoughts floated inside her mind but she managed to shake the thought out as Yuffie shook her shoulders rapidly.

"Helllooooooooo! You in there?" she asked. "Did you hear me?"

"… what?" Anna finally replied. Yuffie sighed at that.

"I said, what's up with you today?"

She hesitated. "Nothing's wrong."

"Yes, there is!"

"No, there isn't."

"Uh huh!"

"Nuh uh."

"… gee, you're not fun."

"I don't feel like talking right now."

Yuffie stuck her tongue out and left the room, leaving Anna by herself. Tifa had left the room to check up on Cloud an hour ago. Maybe she was trying to ask Cloud about what was wrong before. 'What could possibly take Tifa so long?' Anna thought. 'Hopefully they weren't doing anything else," she sighed at that.

The door slowly opened, making Anna tilt her head back. Vincent entered the room without a sound, showing off his all time famous blank stare. Anna fell back, still looking at him. (there she goes again. :grunts: )

"… hi?" she finally said.

"Hi."

"… something you need?"

"No."

"… ookkaaayy…"

Vincent leaned against the wall, folding his arms across his chest. "Something's been bothering me lately. I think you're responsible for it."

Anna quickly sat up and faced him. "I know! The pants… it's nothing personal or anyth-"

"That's not it," he interrupted. "I sense an aura coming from you."

Anna perked up and scratched her head. "So… you think I'm the source or something?" she asked stupidly.

"I would think so, yes."

The girl hesitated for a moment. "Look, I think you must be sensing the wrong person. How can I possibly have the aura? I've been with you guys for some time, and now you're sensing this? I think Tifa's shampoo must be getting to you."

'She has a point,' Vincent admitted to himself. Just today, out of everyday had been with AVALANCHE, why was he sensing such a thing now? Vincent turned away with those thoughts piled up in his mind and headed out the door.

"Excuse me," he said before turning the corner.

After a few moments, Anna gave out a loud sigh of relief. "That was TOO close…"

She stood up and headed out the door, cautiously examining the long hallways, making sure no one was seen. She finally emerged out from the room and made her way toward Cloud's room. There was still a little issue about the pants. How the heck was she going to deal with this one? How can she say it? 'Oh, hey, I just like to let you know that your pants are looking fine! Can I have one?' Anna paused and shook that stupid thought out. 'Hey… can I have your pants?' She stuck her tongue out at that and groaned.

"This isn't going to be easy…"

Finally, she made it in front of Cloud's room. Hesitant for a second, she finally knocked on the door really fast. No answer. She tried knocking the door a little louder, even though she didn't want to. The door suddenly creaked open. Anna gulped and peeked her head in, only to be greeted by the darkness of the room. She squinted her eyes, trying to get a better view of the room and finally came to the conclusion that no one was there.

"Guh… this is so my lucky day," she sighed and made her way into Cloud's room. "I better find it fast before he comes back."

After flicking the lights on, she managed to find Cloud's pants in one of the drawers.

"… how about…"

She searched through more of the drawers before finding a long sleeved shirt. (… he had one… eh heh) Anna grinned, closed the drawers, turned the lights off and quickly made her way out of the room, closing the door behind her.

'Sorry, Cloud,' Anna sighed. 'But it's just for one day! I promise I'll pay you back.'

"You still won't tell me what's wrong?"

"No, I'm fine."

"No, you're not."

"Yes, I am."

Tifa and Cloud were having such a lovely conversation down in the hotel lobby. (ehhehe…) Tifa had tried almost anything to get him to tell her what was wrong. Even bribery didn't work. Tough guy. She leaned forward, attempting to see Cloud's face, but he seemed to notice as he turned away. The girl shrugged and leaned back on the chair, now staring at the back of her friend's head.

"Is it something we did?" she finally asked Cloud. He didn't respond. "Is it something bad?"

Cloud turned his head to Tifa with a blank expression on his face. He sighed then faced her.

"I don't even know what's been bothering me… I guess… I sense something's going to happen. Something… bad."

Tifa tilted her head over to the right. "Well, nothing happened…so…"

"That's right," he interrupted. "Not now. But, soon. I have this feeling that I've sense this before…"

The fighter bowed her head, then picked it up before placing her hand on the swordsman's shoulder.

"Don't worry, whatever it is… we'll be there to take it down."

Cloud smiled. "Thank you."

Suddenly, the lights died down once again. The room was now filled with total darkness, worse than before. The two couple quickly stood up and examined the area. People from the other rooms rushed down, carrying their belongings.

"I want out of here!" a woman shrieked to her husband.

"But, we can't go out there!" another one exclaimed.

"This place is haunted!"

"Oh, be quiet! There's a storm going on out there… what do you expect?"

As the frightened crowd started to take form, Tifa and Cloud decided to head upstairs to check on everyone. At least they knew some people who weren't afraid of the lights dying down.

A/N: End of Chapter 4! Meh, kind of short. And, for some reason… this story is sounding like the other one I have… :thinks: Meh. Crazy world. Anyways! Hope you enjoyed and please leave ze review!
