I drove my Mustang convertible down the dreary country road of Iowa. Yes, I live in Iowa, the dumbest place on Earth. I hate it here, and desperately want to get out. The sun was shining, and I was listening to the soundtrack of Kingdom Hearts II, which I had just bought. I turned my head to the right, to the cornfield. It suddenly started to rain, and a bolt of lightning struck on the cornfield.

"What the hell?" I said. I swear to God, standing on top of that cornfield on the hill was a man. He stood next to a strange green motorcycle. He stared at me, and hopped onto his motorcycle.

"Shit," I said as the rain became hail. "I better get home…" I put my foot to the pedal and drove. The man on the motorcycle broke through the fence and got onto the road. And I think he was following me!

Cloud appeared atop a cornfield.

"Where am I?" he said as drops of rain fell on his head. He dismounted his motorcycle and looked at his surroundings. A red car pulled onto the otherwise empty road, and a sudden blast of feelings exploded through Cloud's body. He
"That must be….my soul…" Cloud said. He jumped onto his motorcycle and rode down the hill, through the fence, and onto the road.

I drove home, and pulled the car into the garage. I had lost track of that guy that was following me a few streets ago.

Oh! I forgot to introduce myself. I'm Aika Sanz. Nineteen years old, with blonde hair that falls to my neck. Anime, manga, and music are basically what get me through my dreary life. I got out of the car, and walked inside.

"I'm home!" I called. No reply, of course. Nobody ever gets home at this house until about 3 AM, when I am sleeping. I basically have to fend for myself. But I guess that's okay, because hardships happen to everybody right?

I know that everybody agrees, so I'm gonna get on with my story. There was no reply. I threw my red book bag onto the floor and decided to take a walk. I opened the back door, and watched the rain fall.

I contemplated still going. The rain looked hard. A bolt of lightning flashed in one of the alleys a few blocks away. Seven seconds later, loud thunder struck and a yell blasted through the silence of the rain. I bolted out the door, and headed for the alley. The rain plastered my hair to my face, but I ignored that. I continued to run towards the alley. The route was very familiar to me. The alley had been a great spot to hang out with my best friend Elizabeth. I still remember the day that she committed suicide….

I arrived at the alley as the memory of my best friends suicide flashed through my body.

"Elizabeth…" I whispered. I saw the figure lying on the ground. I walked closer. The same person that had followed me earlier was lying on the ground. Red blood had formed a rather large puddle around his body. It appeared he had been cut by a….sword?

No.

It couldn't be. Swords were like…illegal. I had only see a sword in a store for display. You could go to jail for killing with a sword….damn, this was bad.

"Herushita," the man from before said. "Herushita…"

"I can't understand you!" I cried. The blood puddle was starting to get larger.

"Herushita," he repeated.

"DAMN IT, I CAN'T UNDERSTAND YOU!" I screamed.

"Pleasa," he said. "Herushita…" he closed his eyes, and tears begin to form in my eyes. "Please help me." he said. A teardrop fell from my face, and landed directly on the wound. The wound instantly sealed, and the man smiled. He had blonde hair that went just about everywhere, and blue eyes. He wore a sleeveless black fleece shirt, and black pants.

"Who are you?" I asked him.

"I'm Cloud," he said in a weak tone. "Cloud Strife." He weakly smiled, and picked himself off of the ground.

"I'm Aika Sanz." I said. This guy was…cute. Very cute.

"I can't thank you enough for saving me, Aika Sanz." he said.

"You can just call me Aika." I said, blushing. "Uhhh….what brings you to Iowa?" Cloud laughed, and pushed his blonde hair back.

"Iowa….I thought I was on Earth…"

"You are!" I said. "Iowa is just a part of earth. A very…..small part." Cloud laughed. He suddenly became alert, and picked up his motorcycle.

"Get on, Aika." he said in a tense voice. "The danger that attacked me before is near." I hopped on behind him, and we sped off down the road.

"Where are we going?" I asked. By the time, Cloud opened his mouth, his motorcycle opened up, revealing several swords. Cloud picked two, and pulled them out of the motorcycle and jumped off at the same time! He did a front flip, and landed on his feet. I went forward and took control of the motorcycle. A figure appeared in the distance.

"Who goes there?" Cloud called. A figure appeared from the darkness.

"Cloud Strife," it said. It pulled a sword from a sheath on its back, and lunged for Cloud. He raised the sword and swung what appeared to me three times. But when Cloud fell backwards, cuts lined his whole chest. The blood gushed quickly from the wounds, and Cloud fell to the ground. The body appeared from the darkness. It was a young boy, about twelve years old.

"Die….." it hissed. Suddenly, the boys eyes rolled back in their sockets, and an evil grin formed on his face.

"Cloud," it said in a deep voice. "I've finally destroyed you."

"Sephiroth…" Cloud said. He began to cough up blood. "You sick bastard."

"That's right, Cloud." he said. "I don't even need to wear armor here. If one of these bodies gets hurt, I can just find a new one and use that one!"

"Aika…." Cloud said. I walked over to him, noticing the things I didn't want to notice.

Cloud was dying.

"Aika….swords…..motorcycle….avenge me." Cloud closed his eyes. I walked over to the motorcycle, and pulled out a sword. It almost weighed me down, but I pulled it up over my shoulder. I ran forward, and swung the sword as hard as I could with my weakness. I had never really planned on fighting a demon in a kids body with a sword before. I jumped forward, and swung the sword. It was met by the blade of Sephiroth's pawn. I swung again, and met the same fate. This continued for a long time.

"DAMN IT, I WON'T LET CLOD'S DEATH GO IN VAIN YOU BASTARD!" I screamed. I swung furiously, never stopping to see if the blade had impact.

"You cannot win," said Sephiroth. "I am invincible!"

"I will win," I said through gritted teeth. I raised the sword over my head, and jumped. I went over his head, and brought the sword down.

"Aackk…" the boy cried. The blood gushed quickly from the wound and the boy died. The soul of the demon Sephiroth slithered out and into the open.

"He's gone now." I said to myself. I turned my attention to Cloud. He was lying on the ground. The blood puddle constantly got bigger, and it didn't look like Cloud was going to make it any farther.

"Cloud…." I said as tears began to fall. This time, the tears didn't work. "I killed him, but Sephiroth got away. Please wake up…" I placed both hands around his body.

He's…cute. Aggh I can't think of something like that at a time like this!

Suddenly, something began to happen. A huge circle formed around Cloud's dead body. Next, five tips formed around the circle and made an even larger star. Then, lines formed upward from the five tips of the start and went upwards and formed a replica of the circle-star on the ground. Then, Cloud's body was lifted off the ground into the air. First, the blood flow was stopped, and the cuts were healed. His clothes were fixed, Cloud Strife opened his eyes and faced the world. He was lowered to the ground, and the circle disappeared.

"You've saved me twice now," Cloud said. "Thank you for that." Cloud then leaned forward, and kissed me!
