Hello! This is my first ever fanfic! (Well, not my first EVER fanfic, but this is my first fanfic I have shared on here!) I'm not very well organised, so I apologise ifit seems a bit messed up here. Please don't flame me... I do accept negative reviews but I'm not into the 'OH MEH GOD UR FANFIC SUCKZ' kinda stuff.

Hehe well I hope you enjoy my fanfic! But first I got to deal with one thing.. The Disclaimer! ¬.¬

Disclaimer: I do not own Final Fantasy V11, Advent Children or anything like that and I certainly do not own any of it's characters. Square Enix is in charge of all that stuff, I'm just in charge of this fanfic!

Also when you see only one speech mark like this: '...' it means a character is thinking.

Prologue

The Truth.

Eight Years Ago... An Ex-SOLDIER legend and warrior, who was born from horrifying experiments performed by his own father, Hojo, mastered everything he could handle. The countless blood-thirsty battles he won, the materia he mastered, and the weapons he handled. The perfect warrior. The perfect being. Or so Hojo thought. His name? How could I forget?

Sephiroth.

He drained the blood from many innocent souls on the planet, after he turned mad during a mission with Cloud and Zack at the Nibelheim Reactor. He found out about Professor Gast's research and experiments, which involved him. Cruel as it may have been, he made them pay the price. Everyone. My father.. friends.. he killed most of them for revenge. Just when we thought he was gone for good when Cloud pushed him into the Life Stream, he returned again five years later.

The Shinra began draining Mako energy using reactors. The spiritual stream of energy which looks after the planet like it's Guardian Angel. These dangerous stations endangered the life of every person on the planet. More was to come though. The victims of Hojo's Jenova Project were gathering at the Northern Crater for the 'Reunion'. Sephiroth summoned the powerful black magic Meteor, in order to release all Mako Energy from the Planet by destroying it.. and to return as a God.

Our saviour, Aeris, the mysterious flower girl, the last Ancient.. Cetra.. prayed for Holy, the white materia she kept in her hair. Although, it wasn't enough. Aeris didn't get to finish the prayer. Sephiroth took her life. The last remaining ancient. Our only hope. Lost. Fragile as she was, he didn't give it a second thought.

The black materia went ahead and Meteor was called upon, which left everyone on the Planet fighting for their lives. Meteor was so close. I wanted to tell him. I wanted to tell him how I felt. But I couldn't, I was almost sick thinking about it. But there were other things to be worrying about, like the planet.Holy failed. I thought it was the end. Until I saw... a light. The Life Stream... It took over Holy's job, and destroyed Meteor for good. We believed it was Aeris. The saint. The one person who really understood the planet's feelings. She saved us, only we couldn't thank her. The deceased had spared the planet. We owed them.

Two years later, three silver-haired men called Yazoo, Loz and Kadaj, sons of Jenova, tried to create another Reunion. The terrible disease, Geostigma, caused by Jenova's cells in the Life stream affected many children myself and Cloud looked after. Vincent believed Sephiroth could return... and he did. He was using Kadaj's body to get to us.

With help from Barret, Cid, Red X111, Yuffie, Vincent, Reno, Rude and even Aeris... Cloud pulled through his depression.. and realised... it was his fate to defeat Sephiroth. And he was the only one who could do it. And he did. The faith I hadin him didn't once melt away. I knew he would do it. I believed in him.

The worst is over. But there's something else I need to question... what is my fate?

I've been wondering this for countless minutes in time. Aeris had her fate.. a terrible fate. The truth is... I thought I knew. I used to think about him everyday. Once I even had a dream about him and me together, being very passionate. Until I woke up... I realized it was never meant to be. It was a dream. Only a dream. A wish. A wish that could never come true. I wished for many things, I guess they can't all come true. The one I once loved... I travelled with him endlessly, the battles we faced, and the losses... nothing happened. No signs, no nothing. I can't sit around waiting for him any longer. Because I know it'll never happen. I need to move on from my fantasy. Now I realise. It was never my fate to be with Cloud. It wasn't my destiny.

I have to move on. But I need an answer. My life must have a meaning, not just to be fighting all the time and saving the planet. There must be something else... But.. who can help me out here? And Cloud isn't an option!

It looks like my fate hasn't been written... yet.
