There was fire everywhere. Her mother's headless body sat by the kitchen entrance. She was trembling, her stuffed animal, now named Mr. Cat, was being clung to with dear life. She didn't cry. Instead she waited for him.
"Sephiroth," She heard. She turned around to find her mother being held by Cloud. Their eyes met and he dropped the corpse. She ran as fast as she could to him. She felt herself being lifted and smothered into his warm chest. His grip was strong but gentle, like how she remembered it. She had closed her eyes, but could feel him moving foreword. The heat decreased a little, but it was still intense.
"Take care of her, I have to go help Tifa," She heard him say. Take care of her, she thought, wait! Where are you going?
She looked up to see her brother walk away with the man he had called Zack. She reached for him, and blacked out.
There were men in black suites everywhere. One had Bright red hair, another was bald. There was another one, a woman with blonde hair, and for a few seconds, Sadako thought it was her mother. Tifa was lying next to her, and Sensei was standing in front of them, his backed turned to the man in suites. She could see the scene through his legs. The town was burnt and smoking. She stood up and walked foreword. Sensei didn't seem to see her. She walked past bald one.
"Reno," He quietly called.
The red head responded. He turned around and caught sight of Sadako. She didn't go any farther than a few feet in front of him, so he didn't really need to move.
Sadako didn't feel scared. Instead, she happy, happy because Cloud had saved her first, happy because he did the right thing and saved Tifa too. Happy, because she had seen him one last time. Men in uniform came down with Zack on a portable bed. She gasped silently and waited to see if they brought Cloud down as well. She held her breathe, and then, there in the smoke, was Cloud being brought down on a cot as well.
"Cloud," She yelled. She ran as fast as she could.
"Sada…" Cloud had heard her. He raised his hand only a few centimeters because he had no strength left. He lost sight of her when they went into the gate.
"Catch her," Rude yelled as soon as she made the motion. Reno ran after, scooping her up and restraining the kicking child. He held her so she faced backward. When he turned around to bring her back, she saw them taking Cloud away into the gates.
"Cloudy Wolf! Come back to me! Come back to me!"
Reno listened with a straight face doing his job, but deep down, something inside of him broke.
