As you may know…I do NOT own Final Fantasy VII…

Chapter 7

Vincent and Aeris soon arrived at the gates of Midgar. Aeris was jumping up and down…(Yuffie Style) She was happy to finally be back there. Vincent only sneered at the girl, walking past her and into the city. At that point the two, walked into the crowded streets. Vincent spotted an Inn and quickly walked to it.

"Vincent…Why are we going here?" Aeris asked sweetly, it made Vincent want to gag.

"I'm getting you a room…You must be very tired from two travels in a row…more like three." He replied.

"But! What about Tifa!" Aeris began to whine.

Vincent put his hand up to Silence her.

"You are staying here. I can work better without distractions. Tifa's safety is important right now. And If Sephiroth does not like you enough as it is. He may hurt Tifa to get his message a crossed." Vince finished and Aeris looked down.

"Alright." She quietly gave in.

Vincent bought her a room and led her to where she would be staying. She walked in and merely stood there by the bed. Vincent turned to leave, Aeris spoke up.

"Bring her back with you…Please." Vincent turned back to her. He could see Aeris in tears. She walked to the bed and sat. " I need…to talk to her."

Vincent nodded and left, the Inn.

Sephiroth paid the bill and they left the Barr. Sephiroth sighed, not knowing what to do next..

"What changed your mind?"

His eyes looked over to the crimson eyed one. He stood there for a second, thinking.

"Well that's simple…" He began.

"Oh…Really?" Tifa rolled her eyes at him.

"I don't want to be a puppet anymore…" He stated. "I want to live a life where I'm not a tool or to be used." He started walking again. Tifa right beside him.

"Really? That's good. Am I still your captive?" She asked softly.

He shook his head. "No, not anymore. I realized, you can't just catch a butterfly and put it in a jar with no air holes. It's simply inhumane. You're someone who can only be free with who you want to be, and that person is not me. I have to accept that." He finished.

Tifa was surprised by his words and smiled. " That's very sweet."

He smiled back at her. " You think so..?"

She nodded. " Yes, don't worry, you'll find someone…just for you. But, me…I have no one really. Just a loner, but it's fine! 'Cause I like it like that." She continued to smile.

He nodded. "Can you help me find an Inn? I'm tired."

"Sure!" Tifa walked him to an Inn after about a 2 hour-long talk, over Cloud, meteor, and Midgar.

"Thank you, Tifa. You've helped a lot." Sephiroth smiled and walked towards the door.

"Your welcome!" She waved and turned to head back home.

She was soon out of seeing range of the Inn, she sighed, tired and worn out. Walking through the streets again.

Sephiroth bought a room and walked to it slowly, thinking over the day's events. He sighed. Unlocking the door and walking in, he didn't bother to lock the door again. He shed his clothes and got into bed. Falling a sleep.

Tifa sat down on the side walking, thinking to herself. She was getting so tired. She pulled her knees up to her chest. Resting her head on her knees.

"So I see your unharmed.."

Tifa looked up and saw a pair crimson eyes looking back at her.

Vincent…

" I'm happy to see you too Tifa." Vincent smiled under his cloak.

Tifa smiled at him. He helped her up.

"Let's go to the Inn." Vincent stated. Tifa nodded and they walked back to the Inn together.

Aeris got bored fast, but was still worried. She got up and walked out of her room in search of the bathroom. After finding it and doing her daily deed. She walked from down stairs to up the stairs once more. She yawned reaching for a doorknob and turned it. She entered a dark room. Not so much paying attention.

'Vincent must be back…no Tifa?' She bent down near the figure that layed in bed with the blanket pulled over it's head. 'He must be asleep.' Aeris walked to the other side and got in. Lying there. She started to think. She felt the bed shift and that the figure was laying closer to her. She settled more into bed now. But, for some reason she found this uncomfortable. 'There's….something laying on my leg….!' Aeris turned slightly, pulling the cover away from the figure's head. 'Sliver hair…Oh my…' "KYAHAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!"
