"As you can see there is no point in trying to avoid this problem, Cloud"

"To avoid any confrontations, i suggest you join us", Zack told Cloud.

The sky around the school started to darken as if it can understand Cloud's

inner turmoil. As the lunch time comes close to ending it starts to rain and all Cloud managed to

do is glare at his friend.

Without saying another word, Zack walked back to the school entrance, leaving Cloud

to ponder what his next move is to be. As Cloud focuses back to reality, he notices a familiar figure.

"You never came, whats the deal", Tifa shouted.

"The deal is why are you trying to recruit me to Avalanche."

" I have no interests in joining any group and I wish everyone would leave me alone", Cloud replied

Tifa was shocked by Cloud's comment, she had no intentions to recuit Cloud over to the

Avalanche, however one could easily assume that was case, because of her ties to the group.

" It's not like that Cloud, i had no in..."

"Shut up and leave me alone," Cloud retaliated

The misunderstanding hurt Tifa and brought tears to her eyes. She felt as though her heart has stop

beating.

"All these years and I thought you would recognize me, but you couldn't even do that."

"I will hate you forever, for forgetting Nibelheim and our promise", Tifa cried

Tifa dashed toward the entrance of the school without looking back. Cloud slowly turn around

shocked at what she said. A sudden flashback occured, the time when he lived in Nibelhiem, the time when

he had only one friend, Tifa. His thought was short lived as someone with emmense power approached.

"Let me introduce myself, my name is Sephiroth."

personal note:

i know the chapter is alittle short, but I thought it would be better to keep the suspense up rather than going into

too much detail. The next chapter is going to be abit long, so it may take awhile before i upload it. Thanks

for the review.
