LiTlEgReen-WizArd-JedI: Something about the word "Freakin" makes me giggle. Thanks for loving it!
RaeDragongirl: I'm glad you rate me with the best. If you wanna see a collection of Aerith Cloud Stories just look in my favorite stories: they should take up quite a bit of room. Some aren't extraordinary but their cute but others are like, awesome. And since you seem to be a fan of those stories maybe you can help me out a little, I once read a story about Riku and an Original Character it had Cloud and Aerith as a side couple and at one point Their in the Green room I think and the original character walks in on them. I think her name was Sky or something like that. Just wanting to find it. Sorry for the lengthy reply :D
Snowfynn: I found a Fan art of Sora Cloud and Aerith in the positions you explained, it is kinda freaky that he's such a mix of them. I wanted something in High school. And though Meg acts that way in high school. I don't think I could bring myself to have Aerith have a child in high school, or have pre-marital sex. She's like my Idol, so I put her on a pedestal.
Chapter 5
Aerith walked into Home Ec. Class. Mrs. Charming was sitting at her desk and there was an unusually odd amount of birds and squirrels out side her windows. She took attendance and then stood in front of the class. She spoke in her high pitched Sheryl temple voice, "Well class, today we'll be making Pie. I have an assortment of strawberries, blueberries, raspberries, and peaches. Please find some groups and I'll be here in the center explaining to you how to make the crust."
A student in the front with extremely long wavy brown hair raised her hand. "What about Apple Pie?" she then turned to her blonde companion and they shared a secret laugh.
"Apples? Apples? There will be no apples entering this room. I don't want to lay my eyes on those vile things!"
The brunette in the front looked at her friend again, and dropped into a southern voice "I like Apple Pie, Don't you Angie?"
"You bet I like Apple pie, Malika"
Angie turned around, "Hey, new girl, do you wanna be in our group?"
Aerith stared for a second… "Um… sure…"
-------
Aerith arrived at her locker and began to put her books in her locker thankfully she heard that Chemistry class didn't get any because of Ms. Dev'ils rant. She'd be going home empty handed tonight. "Ready to go?" Aerith looked up to see Cloud standing behind her.
"Yeah, I have no clue on what there is to do in this City." She closed and locked her locker. They had started to walk down the hall when Aerith heard Sora and Kairi behind her, She turned around, "Hey Sora, you can make it home by yourself, right?"
"Yeah, Kairi's going to come to our house anyways." Sora said Kairi pointed to the glass doors and they turned to walk out them, "See you later Sis."
Aerith turned back to Cloud, "My little brother. We've only been here 2 days and I think he's got him self a girlfriend already. Anyways, what type of car do you have?"
"I don't drive my car. I drive my motorcycle." Cloud held the door open for Aerith.
"So where to first?" She said waiting for Cloud to lead the way.
"Where ever you want."
"Can we go someplace that we can explore?" she inquired.
"Sure." Cloud handed her a helmet from the back of his cycle and straddled it. Aerith looked down at her miniskirt. She looked up at Cloud again. He never noticed.
'Helmet hair? Or smashed head?' she thought to herself. She put the helmet on and jumped onto the cycle keeping her legs on one side.
Cloud turned his head to look at her, "Are you ready?" She wrapped her arms around his waist and nodded. "Were going to the ruins just outside of town." She nodded again and felt him shift his weight to start his bike. He zoomed out of the school parking lot and started heading toward the outskirts of town.
------
Sephiroth looked over at Hook and Hades. "You hear that? We'e going to the ruins." Hades and Hook got in Hades car. "I'll meet you there. I'm taking my own transportation." Sephiroth turned and began to walk away
Hades turned to Hook, "He's going to show off, isn't he?"
"When doesn't he?" Hook responded back to Hades. They looked back over to where Sephiroth was and saw a black feather float to the ground
-----
Aerith felt Cloud shiver in front of her. She looked up to see if there was any thing ahead of them but didn't see anything. Talking was out of the question; with all the wind he'd never hear her. She dismissed it as a normal occurrence and kept hanging on behind him.
Cloud, however, knew why he shivered. He felt Sephiroth on the move again, and it wasn't too far from him. It wasn't a pulse like last time. It was a strong ray. He was really letting his aura shine.
-----
Zack looked up from his trek up the sidewalk of his uncle Tomas. 'That didn't feel too good…' he thought to himself. He continued up to the arched door. He rang the doorbell and a man with slick black hair in his mid 40's answered. "Hey Uncle Tom! Mind if I crash here?"
"Your mother warned me about you. She said you just packed up and left. I hope your not here indefinably." Tom stepped back from the door and let Zack in.
"Thanks Tom, don't worry, just until I can find an apartment. You're too good of an uncle for me to give a heart attack to" Zack walked in and dropped his bags by the door. "I hate to run as soon as I get here, but there's something I gotta take care of. I'll be back before midnight, Thanks again Tom!" Zack turned and walked out the door closing it behind him.
Tom could hear the motorcycle start outside his house and zoom down the street. "It's going to be interesting around here…" he mumbled to himself. He turned around and walked back to his sofa, the game was on.
-----
Sora didn't even feel Sephiroth's energy. Kairi was with him and was blocking any darkness, the result of being a person of light. Sora and Kairi walked up to Sora's new house. The lawn was tidy and even, and the house was nicely painted white. "My mom's going to love you!" Sora walked into his house and held the door open for Kairi. "Mom!" Sora screamed, "I brought a friend home!" Kairi stopped, scrunching her face from Sora's loudness and looked up. A woman with light brown hair walked in and smiled at them both.
"Sora, you don't have to yell, I'm not across town."
"Mom this is Kairi, Kairi, meet my mom." Sora introduced.
"I'm pleased to meet you Mrs. Gainsborough." Kairi smiled at her.
"Like wise Kairi." she turned to look at Sora, "Sora have you seen your sister?"
"Aerith asked me if I could make it home by my self today, she was walking with some guy. I think he was going to show her the town or something."
"I guess she knows what she's doing…. What did he look like?"
"Tall, blond, broad, and wore lots of black." Sora said, grinning.
"Another one huh? Lets hope he's as nice as the last one."
"I think he is Mom. Aeriths never been wrong before" Sora then turned to Kairi, "Wanna see our big screen?" Kairi looked up from the pictures she was examining and shook her head yes, "This way!" Sora started to lead her through the house.
-----
Cloud and Aerith arrived at the bottom of a huge hill. They got off the bike and started up the crumbling steps. "This is really neat!" Aerith exclaimed running ahead. Cloud continued at a steady pace behind her. He looked over his shoulder to see if anyone was there, namely Sephiroth. "Look at the marvelous architecture!" he turned back to see Aerith disappear around the edge of one of the walls. He speed up his pace making sure to keep a close eye on her. "How old do are these?" Aerith turned around to face him. Cloud shrugged and continued behind her. She stopped and picked a flower growing between the stones and smelled it. She turned to face him again. "Smell this, it's very sweet."
Cloud took the flower and smelled it, she was right, it was sweet. "Yeah."
"Oh! My grandmother use to keep these ones!" she picked up another flower, "It's called a Snap Dragon." She positioned her fingers on both sides of the blossoms, applied pressure and the flowers lower petals moved.
"Appropriately named." He said picking one, and trying it himself. He heard a thump come from Aeriths' direction. He looked up to see her stomp down.
THUMP She stomped around a little more and finally there wasn't another thump. She then started to tear away the grass, shrubs and vines from the ground. "It's a old trap door!" she exclaimed. She reached down to pull the iron handle that stuck out. She braced herself and tugged as hard as she could. The hinges gave away and she flew back and landed right on her but with the same "eep" that he had heard her do yesterday when she ran into him. Cloud began to laugh as he started heading toward her to help her up. Aerith wasn't so happy that he was laughing at her. So, she kicked his feet out from underneath him. He fell with a "oof" and then continued laughing, Aerith started laughing with him. He recovered first and then waited patiently for her to end.
"Are you done yet?" He asked seriously, and she started laughing so hard she wasn't making any sound anymore. That obviously didn't work, so he tried a different technique,
"What do you think is under it?" She sobered up a little bit more her cheeks were flushed from the rushing blood.
"Lets open it!" she dug around the sides of the door and started to pull. Cloud put his hands next to hers and pulled with her. There was a creaking and the door flew open. Cloud and Aerith looked down the stairs that lead deep into the hill. "If only we had a flashlight!"
"That's something I can't help you with." Cloud said, looking down the steps.
"Not now, but later. We can come back again and explore it more when we have a light source."
"Alright," Cloud could feel Sephiroth coming closer. He must still be using his power. He had to get Aerith and him out of there. "Come on, I'll show you the Flower gardens in Town."
Aeriths face lit up and she started walking toward him, "What are we waiting for then!" Cloud and her walked back to his motorcycle and got on it in the way they were before. Cloud took off and started heading back toward town. He felt for Sephiroth's aura and it was following him and closing in. He knew that Cloud knew he was following him. Cloud sped up a little bit more.
Sephiroth closed in. He swooped in about 100 feet from Cloud's bike. Cloud saw him land and reached down to grabbed Aerith's arm and pulled her around in front of him, and jumped from his bike he cradled Aerith's head with one arm and her waist with the other he flipped in the air and landed on his feet with Aerith one arm under her back and the other one under her knees in a princess hold. He set her down on her feet. "Aerith, run!" He pushed her in the direction of the town.
"But, what about you?" she said turning around to see him facing Sephiroth.
"I'll be fine. Run!"
Aerith ran around the corner of a nearby church and watched the fight pursue. Cloud powered up and a black leathery wing sprouted from his back, he pulled a huge sword and held it in front of him. Sephiroth pulled a very long sword from what looked like a sheath hanging from his waist, but it didn't look like the sheath was long enough to hold such as monstrous sword. Aerith shrunk back a little bit, those could really, really hurt. Cloud and Sephiroth lunged toward each other at an inhuman speed and clashed their swords together. They took to the air spiraling and pushing apart. The clangs were harsh on Aerith's ears. Cloud swung at Sephiroth and Sephiroth found his chance and took it, he sliced Cloud's arm deep before Cloud pushed him away with the blunt of his blade. Sephiroth charged again and Cloud used Sephiroth's momentum to throw him over Cloud's shoulder and into a window of a church. When Sephiroth was out of view Cloud clutched his arm and hissed in pain. Aerith came out of her hiding spot around the corner and he looked up.
"What are you doing here still?" Cloud sputtered. "You were supposed to run!"
Aerith walked up to him and gingerly touched his exposed wing. Cloud flinched as she did. "Does it hurt?" she asked pulling her hand away.
"No, It's just sensitive." He replied, he retracted it and then looked at her in question.
"Don't worry, I won't tell anyone if you don't" she cooed.
"What do you mean?" he responded, Aerith put her hand over his arm and a green light began to glow from her hand. He felt a slight stinging and then nothing. He looked down and saw no sign of there ever being a cut there. 'Bet that comes in handy.' He thought to himself. "I won't." he smiled at her.
"Wow it looks like a battle field was through here" Cloud and Aerith turned around to the new person. Aerith's eyes grew wide.
"Zack! What are you doing here?" She put her hands on her hips.
"I thought I broke you of wearing pink" Zack said resting on of his hands on his hip.
Aerith looked down at her outfit, "Pink's my favorite color…"
"You going to introduce me to your new friend?" Zack asked impatiently walking up to where Cloud and Aerith stood. "Hi, I'm Zack." he stuck his hand out.
"Cloud." Cloud then reached out to shake it.
-----Meanwhile----
There was a crash through the windows of the church. The young girl in the second row stood up in surprise. Sephiroth landed in the isle in a rain of colored glass and black feathers. He looked up from his crouched form and green eyes meet hazel. They both watched each other waiting for a queue. The girl blinked once. Twice. "Wow! How did you do that without a scratch!" the girl broke in, her eyes not fearful, but they were curious.
"What's it to you?" Sephiroth said as he rose to a standing position. He started walking down the isle to the doors.
"Wait! Who's going to pay for that window?" She started to run after him.
He turned around, "What's your name?"
"Charli Oblivion" She brushed her shoulder length hair away from her face and smiled. "What's yours?"
"That's not what you should be worried about at the moment." Sephiroth said to her. He grabbed her by the arm and pulled her towards the doors of the church.
"Hey! Let me go! You're going to leave a bruise!" Charli shouted. Sephiroth pulled his sword out of its sheath again he kicked open the doors. He put his sword against Charli's throat.
"No one move!" Sephiroth shouted. The three people outside the church looked up. Zack materialized his sword, Cloud let his wing grow out again and he stepped in front of Aerith. Sephiroth looked at Aerith and then to the girl beside him. A smirk appeared on his face.
"Let the girl go Bleach Head!" Zack yelled
"I'll let her go on one condition, a trade, Aerith for the girl."
Cloud and Zack glared at him, Aerith put her hand over her watch and then moved around in front of Cloud. "Deal, let her go." She turned around to face Cloud and Zack, "Don't worry, just find my brother." she turned to face Sephiroth again.
"That was easy." Sephiroth said to himself. Charli glared at him. He watched Aerith approach him. She stopped just out of reach of him.
"Let her go before I continue." Sephiroth let Charli go, and grabbed Aerith. He flipped her over his shoulder and extended wing. He took into the sky with Aerith. "Princess Guard" she whispered her weapon appeared and she reeled back to hit him in the back with it. Sephiroth grabbed it out of her hands and threw it towards the ground.
"I doubt you can fly, so I wouldn't try it if I were you." He said. Aerith watched as her favorite weapon fell through the air. He was actually right, if she were to hit him and he'd let her go, she'd just end up plunging to her death.
-----
Sora's watch started beeping again. "Not again! Kairi, were going to have to call this a night, I have to do something." He jumped up and ran to the living room where his mom was reading a book, "Mom, can you take Kairi home? Aerith just hit her alarm on her watch. I need to go!" Sora turned around and ran back to Kairi. "Kairi, I'm super sorry about you having to go so soon."
"It's alright Sora. If you weren't so cute, I might get irritated" She giggled and walked up to him.
"Mom's going to take you home, is that alright?"
"Yeah, I'll see you at school tomorrow." She walked up to Sora's mother who looked a little jittery, "Bye Sora." she and his mother walked out the door.
Sora ran to the Garage and jumped on his bike. He looked down at his watch to see where Aerith was and tilted his head, 'Wow, she's pretty high up…' he thought to himself. He opened the garage door and started riding his bike in the direction that the watch indicated.
------
Cloud and Zack ran to their respective bikes. "Where do you think he's taking her?" Zack called to Cloud.
"His house!" Cloud called back.
They started up their bikes and Cloud showed the way to town.
"HEY! WHAT ABOUT ME!" Charli was left there in the dust of the bikes, " I was a hostage too! I had a sword at my throat!" She gave a small pout, and started to walk to her own bike cycle sitting outside the church. "I hope that girl is alright…"
