The Only One in My Heart

Chapter 10

"Come to my office," the man on the other side of the phone said.

"Why should I?" Cloud said stubbornly.

"Just come," he said and hung up. Cloud closed his PHS.

"Who was that?" Tifa asked.

"Someone," Cloud answered and turned for the door.

"You are afraid, aren't you?" Tifa asked. Cloud ignored her and walked out of the house. He drove straight into the middle of the city where ShinRa Company's headquarter stood.

"Why did I even listened to that guy?" he mumbled to himself as he walked into the old but still functional building. Tifa and the rest, who had secretly followed Cloud, walked out of their hiding place as Cloud disappeared into the building.

"What's he doing here?" Yuffie asked.

"Come on!" Tifa said and led them into the building.

"We are investigating Sephiroth's influence on this planet after Meteor had fallen," the caped man said, "What do you think we came up with? Nothing."

"Meaning?" Cloud asked dully.

"Sephiroth is dead," he replied.

"I know that," Cloud said, "I killed him."

"Kadaj and his gang are young and fierce. Thus, they are extremely dangerous," he continued.

"Sorry to interrupt your meeting, Mr. President," Reno said casually at the door, "I found some mice." The red-headed man waved his hand and a few of the remaining Turks escorted Tifa, Yuffie, Barret, Cid and Vincent into the room.

"You guys," Cloud said, "What are you doing here?"

"We could ask you the same thing," Yuffie said.

"So, everyone is here," the caped man said, "Very well then. Come with us." He whispered something bald black man beside him. He nodded and went behind the caped man to push the wheel chair out of the room. Cloud and his gang followed them down the dusty corridors and reached the end of a corridor where a door stood. A notice was pasted on the door but the words had faded as the notice was exposed to the moisture in the air and the sunlight.

With a nod from the caped man, Reno opened the steel door as wide as he could. Rude, the bald black man, pushed the caped man into the dimly room and motioned the others to follow him. Once they entered the room, they could smell the sweet scent of flowers from a nearby vase of flowers. Beside the table where the vase was put was a glass tank laid in a horizontal position with a long piece of metal set in it as a bed for the patient who rests inside it.

"Why have you called me here, anyway?" Cloud asked the caped man, "All that you have told me just now are information I already know."

"You wanted answers," he said, "I will give you answers. All you have to do is ask."

"Yeah," Yuffie said, "Question number one : Why is that Kadaj so crazy about the Reunion?"

"Love," he said.

"Love?" everyone repeated.

"What do you mean?" Tifa asked.

"There," he answered and pointed to the tank in the middle of the room.

As Cloud drew closer to the tank, he realized that the tank was filled with water and saw that a teenage girl was sleeping in it. She wore a plain white dress that reached down her ankle and had her fingers intertwined on her stomach. A heart confined in a circle was strung as a pendant on a necklace was also rested in her intertwined fingers. Cloud looked at her serene face and the long brown hair that floated around her. As he stared at her face, he felt something stir within him.

'She has an aura around her. Just like Aerith,' Cloud said in his mind.

"Her name is Lana," the caped man said.

"She's beautiful," Tifa said.

"Lana was injured when the Meteor came," he said.

"But that was TWO years ago!" Yuffie exclaimed.

"Keep it down, Yuffie!" Barret hit Yuffie's back.

"Yeowch," Yuffie gasped.

"Kadaj and his gang agreed to lend us their strength in return for a cure for Lana," the caped man explained. "Till now, we couldn't find the cure. It seems they have somehow," he continued.

"JENOVA?" Vincent asked.

"It seems so," he answered.

"No, it IS so," a voice from the door startled everyone. Yazoo and Loz walked into the room and gave threatening glares to everyone in the room. Yazoo stopped in front of Lana and gave the caped man a killing glare.

"What do you want here?" Yazoo asked with a commanding voice.

"Answers," Cloud answered.

"What kind of answers?" Loz laughed but Yazoo looked saddened.

"Lana," Yazoo began, "Is Kadaj's sweetheart." Everyone looked at Yazoo. His face seemed to soften now compared to the killer's look that he had showed a moment ago. "Kadaj blamed himself for bringing Lana to Midgar and into this sleep," he continued, "He vowed to himself that he would cure her. It was lucky that the Turks found us and helped Lana. As the President had said, we offered our strength in exchange for the cure."

"But two years has already passed and no cure has been found," Yazoo continued, "We were beginning to lose hope but Kadaj kept on hoping against hope that we will find a cure for Lana. It was then that JENOVA visited Kadaj in his dreams, she told him that she could heal Lana for him if he could bring her back through the Reunion."

"That would explain why he wanted Reunion so badly," Yuffie muttered.

"Kadaj changed the next morning," Yazoo said, "He became more violent."

"Why are you telling us all this?" Cloud asked.

"We know that what Kadaj did was wrong," Yazoo said, "I think Lana will think so too."

"Why do you still follow him?" Tifa asked, angered.

"He is our brother," Yazoo said, "We cannot abandon him."

"He's right," Loz agreed.

"Speaking of Kadaj, where is he?" the caped man asked.

"We don't know," Loz said, "Maybe to the church."

"Why would that clone go to the church?" Cloud asked angrily. Both Yazoo and Loz looked at him angrily as they had been indirectly labeled as clones. "He will only contaminate the church--," Cloud did not finish.

"Cloud!" the caped man interrupted before a fight would erupt, "They are not clones. If they are, so are you!"

"What?" Cloud asked.

"They had Mako energy in them, just like you," the caped man began, "Sephiroth saved their lives by using the Mako energy. Sephiroth had too much Mako energy in him and that was the reason for his appearance. They are also the same. They have been exposed to too much Mako energy and their appearances changed."

"He will be in the forest tonight," Yazoo said to the caped man as he controlled his breathing. Loz walked out of the room without looking at the other people in the room, followed by Yazoo.

"I'll never forgive you!" Cloud shouted as he raced towards the three brothers on his motorcycle. Kadaj, who stood between his two elder brothers smiled wickedly. Both Yazoo and Loz, fired their guns but avoided hitting Cloud on purpose.

'They're not with you anymore,' she said in his mind. Kadaj closed his eyes and listened to her. 'You are alone now,' she continued, 'Your brothers are betraying you.'

Kadaj felt himself leant forward. Before he hit the ground, his eyes sprang open. His left hand grabbed the sword behind him and with his right hand, he pushed himself into the air.

He could hear that the shots were stopped and he smiled as Cloud looked up at him with his broad sword in his hand.

'Lana,' a deep voice called.

'Big Brother?' Lana asked as she floated in the air, 'Let me sleep. I'm so tired.'

'Don't sleep anymore, Lana,' he said. Lana felt arms around her and the warmth of another body beside hers. 'You have been sleeping for a very long time,' he said.

'No,' she murmured, 'I have just fallen asleep.'

'You have been asleep for two years,' he said, 'And much have happened.'

'Two years?' Lana opened her eyes but immediately shut them back as the bright surrounding had hurt her eyes. She felt a warm hand on her face, shielding the light from her eyes. She slowly opened her eyes. Her eyes caught a glimpse of flowing silver hair between the black gloved fingers. She looked up to the man who held her in his arms.

'Don't sleep anymore,' he said, 'We need your help.'

'But I'm so tired,' she replied.

'Do you want to sleep forever?' Sephiroth asked. Lana did not answer him but closed her eyes. 'Don't you want to see him again?' he asked. Lana opened back her eyes in response. 'He's trying to bring you back,' he continued, 'But he went astray.'

'What do you mean?' Lana asked him.

'Look,' Sephiroth said. Lana followed his hand and looked at the endless white room behind her. Lana looked up to her Big Brother, who stared intently ahead. She followed his gaze.

An image of Kadaj came to her mind. He was crying as he held her, who was unconscious after she was wounded in Midgar. She saw him placed her body into the tank. Then, an image of the three brothers came to mind. They were fighting. Next was the image of the trio facing a group of children and Kadaj was talking to them in an angry manner.

'Big Brother, what is all this?' Lana asked.

'Shh, just watch,' he hushed.

Kadaj lingered in her mind and she saw smiling wickedly. It was a smile that she couldn't recognize from him. Green energy was beginning to concentrate in Kadaj's left hand and Lana watched as Bahamut Sin flew down the sky at Kadaj's summon. Lana gasped.

'Kadaj, what are you doing?' she mumbled, 'Why?'

'He's been used,' Sephiroth said, 'By her. Like I once used to be.'

'Kadaj wouldn't hurt people!' Lana said to him, 'You wouldn't hurt people too!'

'I have taken many lives because I was controlled by her,' he said, 'Kadaj kills people because he is controlled by her.' Lana closed her eyes and shook her head violently.

'I don't want to see this anymore,' she said, 'Please make it stop!'

'You must go to him,' Sephiroth said, 'He will bring her back if this goes on.'

'I don't want to see anymore,' Lana begged as she saw Kadaj lowered his sword to a spiky blonde haired man, who lay on the forest ground in defeat. Kadaj said something to the man but Lana could not hear him.

'Kadaj!' she cried out as loud as she could.

'Lana,' Sephiroth began, 'Help us.'

'Kadaj!' Kadaj heard her cried out but he shook it away and turned his attention to Cloud.

"It's time to die, Brother," Kadaj said wickedly.

As Kadaj brought down his sword toCloud's neck, he froze. He suddenly felt a warm hand on his upper left arm. He felt her hand. There was no mistake of it. He felt another hand on the back of his chest and then he felt her leant on his back. Kadaj's sword stopped its action in the middle of the air and left Cloud wondered about the mysterious Kadaj. Slowly, he saw a brown haired teenage girl appeared behind Kadaj. She wore a simple white dress that made the girl seemed to glow.

"Kadaj," her soft voice rang in his ears and he felt her tears fell off her face. Kadaj's sword fell from his hand and lay beside Cloud.

"Lana," Kadaj whispered to the air.

"Lana?" Cloud asked himself as he scrambled to his feet, 'That girl?'

"Please, Kadaj," she begged, "Stop all of this."

"But-," Kadaj protested.

"Kadaj," Lana said, "I don't want to see this anymore. Don't kill others because of me. It doesn't matter how many lives you took to save me, Kadaj, because I will die."

"You won't!" Kadaj exclaimed. Both Yazoo and Loz looked anxiously at Kadaj. The entire Avalanche, who came to help Cloud looked at Kadaj and wondered if JENOVA had taken control of him.

"Mother," Kadaj gasped, "She said once we have the Reunion, she will have all her powers back. And then she would cure you! She said that to me! She wouldn't lie!"

"No," Lana said softly. "She didn't lie. She would cure me but then she would kill me later," she continued.

"No, she won't," Kadaj said, "You are a part of us. She will not kill you."

"She kills Cetra," Lana said, "No matter who they are."

"Cetra?" Kadaj questioned, "You can't be a Cetra."

"I'm sorry," Lana said.

"You can't be," Kadaj said softly.

"I'm sorry," she repeated. Lana slowly loosened her grip on Kadaj and stepped back. Before she could take another step away from him, Kadaj had turned and gathered her in his arms.

"Don't," he begged, "Don't leave me."

Lana gave him a reassuring pat on his back and said, "I can't leave and I can't stay."

"I just want to hold you, for a moment longer," he whispered as he buried his face into her hair. Lana wrapped her arms around Kadaj and rested her head on his shoulder. The others looked on at Kadaj and Lana with wide eyes and dropped jaws.

"Kadaj, I have already decided," Lana said as she tried to break the silence between them. She released Kadaj and tried to break their embrace but Kadaj held onto her tightly.

"I'm not letting you go," Kadaj said, "I can hear you. Just say what you want to say." Kadaj tightened his embrace. Lana smiled.

"I will fight, Kadaj," she said, "I want to see you again."

"But there is no cure," Kadaj said.

"I have no cure but I believed that your gift will help me," Lana smiled.

"But I have given you nothing," Kadaj said as he pulled himself away from her. He looked into her brown orbs and saw hope shining in her eyes.

"I will fight for myself for once," Lana repeated, "Kadaj too must fight for himself."

"You must defeat her," Lana said, "She's the real enemy. She controlled Big Brother two years ago and now she's trying to control you."

"But Mother said that she did this to take everyone to the Promised Land," Kadaj said.

"The Promised Land is right here," Lana took his hand and placed it on his heart, "It's where everything that you treasure lives."

Kadaj stared at her. Lana smiled at him. "Lana," Kadaj whispered when he saw that Eternal Love was hung around her neck.

"Hmm?" Lana looked up at him.

"When everything's over," Kadaj whispered as he held her to him again. "We'll be together, forever," he whispered so softly that only Lana could hear him.

"I'll be waiting for you," she whispered back.
