Chapter 1

I do not own FF 7 Or Star Ocean

" Tifa?...Tifa..." A blonde haired man repeated softly as a brunette haired woman looked up, who seem to stare out the window.

" Are you alright? You seem kinda down..." Cloud asked taking a seat next to Tifa. Tifa only smiled.

" I'm fine, nothing is wrong." She replied softly. Cloud pulled her slight and stared into her ruby eyes. " I know you Tifa you hide your sadness." Cloud responded.

Tifa blinked and only smiled. " Nothing is wrong." She stood up and walked behind the bar counter. Cloud watched her worriyingly. Tifa ran her fingers through her brunette locks and began to wash dishes silently. Suddenly the dorr swung opena nd a small girl. Marlene stroms in fuming, and a young boy followed her.

"Marlene! I'm sorry I didn't mean it!" Denzel exclaimed as the anrgy girl made her way up the stairs. He quickly followed her up the stairs.

" I'm sorryt he guys dared me too!" Denzel cried. He followed her to her room. Cloud stood up and blinked a few times before following them up the stairs. As he entered Marlene was crying into her pillow and Denzel was attempting to make her feel better. Cloud blinked a few times before entering. He stepped in and looked around, then down at the children. He gave a sigh and sat down.

"What happened?" He asked simply looking to the crying girl, then to Denzel. Denzel looked up at the blonde man and sighed.

" I was dared to kiss Marlene. I didn't think she would be mad!" Denzel spoke frustrated.

" Oh course I would be mad! You didn't ask me permission!" Marlene nearly screamed at Denzel. Cloud blinksed and sighed, he scrtached the back of his head with his hand.

" I see, well Denzel did you apologize?" Cloud asked, not really sure what to do. Denzel looked up and shook his head.

" No.." He turned to Marlene and took her hand in his.

" Marlene I am deeply sorry don't be mad at me!" Denzel began to beg for forgivness. Marlene looked at him and sniffled and smiled. " Alright Denzel I forgive you but next time you kiss me, I'm going to hit you." Marlene repiled with a smile. Cloud smiled and continued to watch them.

Back downstairs, Bar

Tifa continued to wash the dishes silently, each plate wipped clean fromt he food of the previous night. The sound of the door opening caught her attetion and she looked up. She blinked at the custmors in her doorway. " Welcome to the Seventh Heaven, how can I help you?" she asked. She took a closer look to find most of them were injured.

"Please help...we were in an accident..." One man said before falling to one knee. Tifa rushed to them, she exaimed them. One had blue hair and blue eyes and was male he looked only a few years older than Yuffie. In his arms he held a small girl with white hair and pig tails, she was unconisus. The man in the back wore black and had spiky blonde hair, but it was more flat at the top, he looked around Cid's age. There was a woman who leaned against the door frame she seem to be fine. Her hair was short and red. She had a small boy curled in her arms who also seeme to be unconiusus. Lastly there was a man, who was leaning against the dorr but he was knocked out, he had black spikey hair that goes into blonde at the ends, along his back were two long pony tails that were wrapped in white cloth. She noticed he had a claw like arm.

"What happened!" Tifa asked. She helped the red haired woman drag the men into the dry and warmth. She ran upstairs and grabbed a first aid kit and some healing materia. Cloud caught her movements from the corner of his eyes and stood up and followed her down. His eyes widen at the wounded people lying on the floor. He dashed over to Tifa's side.

" Whats going on?" He asked Tifa, who was busy patching them up. She turned to Cloud. " They were in an accident." Tifa repiled then letting the materia form into skin on her wrist. Her flesh abrosbed the emerald orb. Tifa closed her eyes. " Cure three!" She yelled suddenly what seem like sprakles or dust glided across the bodies of the fallen persons. They all sat up and looked to eachother completely healed.

" What happend?" the Blue haired young man asked to the big bulky blonde man.

" I dunno, but I got a hunch." He repiled and grinned. The blue haired boy blinked and winced at the words.

" Not another one of your hunches!" He yelled to the blonde man. The red haired woman walked over to Tifa and bowed slightly.

" My name is Nel Zelpher, And I thank you for your healing and aid." she stood stright and smiled softly. Tifa smiled and looked to everyone else.

" Your welcome, Who are you all?" She asked. Cloud nodded in agreement wonderig who they were as well. The parrty of strangers stood and walked over to the Tifa and Cloud. The blue haired boy smiled.

" I'm Fayt Leingod,and thats Cliff Fitter. " Fayt pointed to the tall muscle man. Cliff grinned." Nice to meet ya."

" And over there the girl is Peppita Rosetteti" Fayt began to introduce everyone. Once he was finished he turned back to Tifa. " And who might you two be?" He asked politely. Tifa nodded and looked to Cloud.

" I'm Tifa Lockheart, and this man is Cloud Strife." She smiled as she spoke staring at Fayt. Fayt nodded. " Thanks" He repiled.

" Tell us what happened, why were you all hurt?" Cloud asked, his tone a serious one. Fayt looked to him and gave a slight nod. They sat down at the bar, and Tifa walked behind the bar. Cloud sat next to Nel, who seem to be staring out the window.

" We were attacked on our way here, becuase our..car had been hit." Fayt began. Cloud perked up staring at Fayt. Fayt looked to Cliff and Cliff shrugged.

" Attack by who?" Cloud asked sternly. Fayt shrugged. " We don't know who, but there were three and they all have sliver hair. One had long sliver hair, one had merisum and the other was a bulky muslce man with short hair. " Sophia exclaimed, as she sat on the stool. Tifa and Cloud looked to each other. The tension raised in the room..

" It...can't be..." Tifa muttered and stared at Cloud. Cloud nodded. " Kadaj's gang but I killed them! Oh man.." Cloud thought to himself and looked to Fayt and the others.

" Don't worry about it, Me and Tifa will take care of it." Cloud spoke in a resurring tone. Cliff smacked his fists together.

" Hey we want to help too! We have some experiance!" Cliff roared. Fayt nodded.

" We may not look it, but we can defend ourselves.." Nel spoke up. Albel smirked and turn to Tifa.

" They will regret crossing my path. " Albel sneered and leaned against the wall. Tifa smiled slightly.

" Alright but not everyone can go. " Tifa said looking at them. Fayt nodded.

" Alright it shall be me, Cliff and Albel." Fayt decided. Everyone nodded and began to prepare their items. Tifa and Cloud mounted on his moto bike Fenrir, and Fayt. Cliff and Albel rode Chocobos. They headed into the dessert section nce they left Midgar.
