'It's Mine…'
Cloud gave Wrath a thumbs up before charging straight at the Harpy, diving to it's side he slashed it right at it's wing and he grinned as the Harpy roared in pain. Rearing back it's 3 head the Harpy let loose a mist of Poison at Cloud. Having battled with tons of Harpy during his journey, Cloud knew that was coming and he casually side stepped it.
'Hey Wrath! Toss Me Your Blade will you?'
"Why?"
'Just Give It To me!'
"…Fine…"
Removing it from it's Sheathe, Wrath flung the blade at Cloud and scowled. He was very protective of his weapon and he did not want to see a single scratch on it.
"I swear… if you damage it…"
'I won't!'
Grinning, Cloud grabbed it and awkwardly tried to wield both of them at the same time while Wrath shook his head and sighed. The Harpy sensing a weakness casted Aqualung but it didn't foresee that Cloud would throw Wrath's blade right into it's chest. Roaring in pain, the Harpy kept thrashing around while Cloud looked on from a distance.
'It might take some time…'
Shrugging, Cloud planted the Buster Sword firmly in the ground and watched as it tried it's outmost to get the offending object out of it's chest.
"If it breaks you're dead…"
'Sure…'
"I mean it…"
Looking at him, Cloud saw his eyes narrowing and he felt something akin to fear. He had never felt THAT kind of fear… heck! He had never felt fear even when facing Sephiroth, but he felt fear facing him.
'Alright… I'll kill it…'
Grabbing it by the hilt, Cloud wrenched the Buster Sword free and charged straight at the Harpy. It stood there puzzled till it realized that it was the same person who threw that Blade at it, after that the Harpy used Aqualung after Aqualung straight at Cloud.
'Tsk… Sorry bout that Buddy… It seems I'll have to sacrifice your Blade after all…'
"WHAT!"
Hearing his scream, Cloud winced and shouted back, 'KIDDING!'
Geez… He's sure a overpowering guy alright…
Sighing at the plan he had formed in his head, Cloud planted his foot firmly on the floor and challenged the Harpy to come and get him. It complied and Cloud parried it's first strike from it's Lion head. The Snake Head came next and Cloud rammed the blade into it's mouth causing it to scream out in pain while he twisted the Sword, rupturing the roof of it's mouth.
'Whoa!'
barely getting out of the way, Cloud cursed as a portion of his cloak was ripped out by the combine effort of the Harpy's remaining heads.
'HEY YOU 3 HEADED FREAK! GOT A GRUDGE WITH MY CLOAK!'
Cloud couldn't believe it, first it was his bike, then it was his cloak. Then what? His Sword?
"Now you get what I feel…"
All of a sudden, Cloud knew he was right… it hurt to have something taken away from him and if he didn't get to Tifa soon… who knows what will happen… He already lost Aeris… Tifa… No he can't lose her!
'You're right… Now you die…'
Bracing himself, Cloud jumped and seemed almost to fly as he soared overhead before slamming down the Buster Sword right into the Harpy, it neatly severed 1 of it's wing and it roared in pain as the Buster Sword sank in deeper and was caught in it's side. The injury was serious, yet it was not fatal and Cloud was knocked away by the Harpy and he lost his grip on the Buster Sword. Both men were without weapons and the Harpy had both of them at the same time, 1 at it's chest while the other at it's side.
'No need to worry… I'm gonna steal your move now…'
rushing forward, he ducked below the Harpy's 2 remaining heads and upon locating his Sword, kicked it at the hilt forcing the Sword to come out the hard way, through the Harpy. As it screamed in pain, Cloud grabbed hold of it and loped off it's head with a single head.
'When I say I won't damage it… I won't damage it…'
"Fine…"
Cloud laughed as he handed back Wrath his blade, it a bit stained with Harpy blood.
'Shall we go?'
"yes…"
'You're getting old…'
"You barely know me…"
'So? At least I'm not as lazy as you are…'
Cloud laughed as he punched Wrath's shoulder, rubbing his shoulder he made a point not to retort back at the legendary fighter.
"So where are we heading?"
'Costa De sol?'
Wrath nodded until he suddenly paused his mind obviously remembering something.
"Oh my… what date is it?"
'It's the 16th… why?'
"This is bad… my friend is coming…"
'You're friend?'
"Yes… I'm afraid so…"
'You have a FRIEND?'
"Yes… Let's go… she's going to be very mad at me…"
SHE!
Cloud grinned again as he followed the figure in front of him, his mind thinking of the various ways he can get back at him for teasing him about Tifa.
-FlashBack-
'Why do you want me to go with you… seriously…'
"I need… to find my friend… she's missing…"
'She…'
"Yea… she…"
'So… she's dumped you and you want her back?'
Cloud paused while he slowly turned to look at his face, it was as he feared, he had a small smirk on his face that was clearly laughing at him. Finding his face burning in embarrassment, Cloud coughed and glared at him.
"Nothing like that…"
'Sure Cloud…'
Damn… what happened to the no talking side of him…
Cursing under his breath, Cloud pushed against Wrath as he made his way pass him making sure he got his message:
I Do Not Want to Talk About It.
Nodding Wrath didn't say anything after that, only giving the occasionally check on his blade as he followed Cloud.
"Hey… who are you looking for by the way?"
'… My friend as well…'
"A girl as well?"
Cloud watched as he gave a sad smile before replying, the pain he felt was reflected in his eyes and Cloud in his mind stiffened. He had been very much like him, the same expression of hurt was embedded in Wrath, it was just as if he was staring into the mirror.
'Yes…'
"Oh… right… We should really be moving now…"
----------------------------
"Why are we here?"
Cloud demanded from his comrade as he tapped his foot impatiently while watching him stare blankly into space. He had insisted in waiting for his friend which Cloud seemed only a waste of valuable time he could use to search for Tifa.
'It'll take… a little while Longer…'
"It better…"
Cloud waved his Sword threateningly while he gave in to the temptation and sat down near the ice cream stand and ordered a big sundae. Wrath just shrugged and kept his eyes peeled for the ship to arrive.
"Oh Right… I would Like a double Fudge ice-cream please, oh yes… add a topping of those sweets you carry… yes that particular kind… thank you."
Cloud gave his order to a pretty little waitress who kept blushing when taking his order, but Cloud took it to his stride, as he knew being the admirer of the whole world is tough.
I'll only love Tifa…Only her… and no 1 else…
So absorbed was Cloud in his own thoughts that he barely hear the waitress placing the ice-cream in front of him and he barely notice the waitress staring at him and waving her hands in front of him trying to get his attention.
'Here… I'll pay for that…'
Getting from his position, Wrath approached and helped Cloud settle his bill. The waitress thanked him profusely while bowing to him all the way before beating a hasty retreat.
'Wake up…'
Grabbing Cloud by his shoulder he knocked Cloud from his dreamland and while his eyes sharpened Wrath sighed and took a spoonful of the ice cream and tasted it.
"HEY! That's mine!"
It produced an immediate effect, thou not Wrath had wanted but it still was a pretty effective wake up call for Cloud.
'Seeing I paid for it…'
"No way… I ORDERED it…"
Raising his hands in surrender, Wrath gave up and pushed the ice-cream back to Cloud.
'HEY WRATHIE! How bout treating me to ice-cream too?'
A unfamiliar voice called out behind him and it so startled Cloud that he spilled half his ice-cream on his lap.
That voice… Yuffie?
Turning around, he was expecting the ever hyper ninja to be smiling at him but was surprised to see a young lady holding a spear in front of him. Her face was very fair and as her face was almond shaped it captured her in an ever lasting smile. Wearing a short green skirt she winked at him before giggling a little at his shocked expression.
'Oops… Sorry Cloud! Wrath! You owe me one remember?'
Wrath sighed again and he got up a little reluctantly, passing by her she gave him a small hug before letting him pass.
'Hehe… Sorry bout that, My name is Lyna, Lyna Lyrie… nice cha meet yar?'
Her accent was a little weird to Cloud but he got the grasp of what she was saying and she shook her hand. It seemed that she was a pretty cheerful and active girl as she never sat still. Constantly she twirled her spear and once or twice she actually tapped his shoulder and directed his attention to something that was a little bit weird, even to him.
'Look! That seagull! It got it's head stuck or something… Poor thing…'
Lyna actually peered closer to the bird while Cloud frowned and pointed out something that she had missed. It was poking it's head in a French fries packet.
'Oh… Yea… Kinda missed that…'
But her attitude never changed and soon she was back poking fun at Cloud.
'Always wanted to ask you… How did you keep your hair like that?'
Cloud remained silent and tried to ignore her, he had this nagging feeling that Wrath was leaving the 2 of them hear to punish him. But he had gotten this kind of questions before… even from Aeris and Tifa.
'Well?'
Lyna was constantly trying to get the question from Cloud by always shifting in front of him and giving him a pleading look. No matter where he tried to seek refuge, she found a way to find him and would always give Cloud a winning smile before adding the dreaded word.
'Please?'
"It's a secret…"
'So? Tell me! I'll keep it!'
"No."
'Please?'
"No."
Cloud folded his arms in a hint that she should drop it but she never got the hint and tried pressing him even more.
"Look…"
'HEY WRATHIE! Where have you been?'
'Scouting… I got news… bout Tifa…'
"Really? Tell me… Everything you know…"
---------------------
Yea.. seriously.. I still dunno… how Cloud get his hair like tt…
SQ better answer that…
