If you are wondering, readers, Sephiroth's name is no longer Destructivus... LadyKadaj gave me the idea to use Nefilim and so I changed it before it was too late!

Chapter 9

She lied! She lied! Nefilim's thoughts whirled in his head. How could she do such a thing!

"Hello." Said a familiar voice

The darkness was lifted.

He squinted as the light hit his eyes, nearly blinding him. He blinked a few times and waited for his eyes to adjust. "You know, Nefilim, you shouldn't be too quick to judge people." Aeris leaned over and looked at him, smiling.

"Come on, kid, get on. We need to get to Kalm already. Before the year ends, please!" Cid sighed, as Yuffie slowly crawled on, looking miserable.

"Uggghhhh… not on this ship again! What now…" Yuffie asked Red. "And I'm not a kid, Cid! I turned eighteen a few months ago!"

"Since Cid has not told either of us, apparently, he doesn't know it either." Red said, lying down.

"Yeah, I f---in' don't!" Cid grinned. "Vincy's got bad news for us!" Looking over at the junior pilot, who was staring at them, he yelled. "What the f--- are you waiting for! Go already, dammit!"

The pilot jumped and began apologizing. "Y… yes… sir! Right… away, sir!"

Ten minutes later…

"What the hell is wrong with Cid!" Barret yelled. "He's supposed to be here!"

"Maybe it's because Uncle Cid's delayed, daddy," Marlene said. "And please don't curse."

"Righ', righ'." Barret nodded.

There was a loud knock at the door. Tifa and Cloud both jumped up at the same time, then both burst out laughing. The two began arguing on who would go to the door. "I'll go, you went last time!" Tifa argued.

"No, no, I'll do it…" Cloud said.

"Would you both cut it out and get the damn door!" Barret shouted.

The two jumped and Cloud rushed to the door. He was about to open the door, then came three more impatient knocks. "Open the Cetra damned door, Cloud!"

"Whoa! Hold your chocobos, I'm getting the door!" Cloud undid the lock and jumped back as the door swung open. "Geez, Cid! Calm down!"

"Hey, Cloud!" Yuffie walked through the door, followed by Red.

"Hey!" Cloud said. "What's up, Red?"

"Nothing much." Red replied, swishing his tail around. He closed the door with a paw and looked up at the blonde-haired man. "Yuffie and I were wondering why you called us here? What bad news does Vincent have for us?"

"All in good time." He said. He wanted to speak to Cid, but found that she pilot had already stalked off to the living room.

"That was quite rude of him," Red commented. "Well, that's Cid for you. Let's getting the meeting started. He headed for the living room.

Both Yuffie and Cloud agreed, following the red beast to the other room.

Sorry! Short chappie! Chappie 10 coming soon!
