Hey guys! I'm back and its working! Well thansk for the reveiw! Anyway, I hope you guys like it!

Sephiroth Demon

Riku54 has returned! Okay so it hasn't been that long…but I've been working on other fan fics that I have. But this is totally off-topic so we'll change the subject. I have questions for you guys. Should I put Kadaj, Loz, and Yazoo in this fanfic? I like Kadaj so I really don't know just yet. Also, about Rufus ShinRa, should I put him in it? If I'm going to put him in it though, I will need info on him and I'm sure there Rufus fans out there as well as Reno/Rude fans. I apologize if I got anything wrong and would like to add that Karlesc is about five years younger than Sephiroth. I think Sephiroth looks to be about twenty-five to thirty.

Chapter Two

Karlesc was now in the parts of the town where the war had destroyed parts of it. Some things hadn't been rebuilt and as she stared at the place, she sensed something. Karlesc had no idea of what it could be, but whatever it was, faded from her senses and she brushed it off. Karlesc turned from the ruined part of city and headed towards a place where something was telling her to go.

Within moments, Karlesc found herself facing someone's house. Why the hell she was here, Karlesc didn't know. She felt anger flash through her whole body as she saw someone move inside of it. She could hear them talking even from a distance and could make out their words. Within seconds of listening, she knew that someone knew. Whoever they were, and Karlesc could sense that they had something against she and her brother, Sephiroth. Of course this whole damn city had something against Sephiroth, but like she cared. He was dead; she was still living.

Karlesc turned from the house and in deadly silence, she entered the town. She suddenly felt the urge to shed the blood of someone. Karlesc wanted to take her anger out on someone, and so she would.

"Well…I uh…I've been gone just riding around." Cloud told Tifa, not sounding very convincing.

Tifa gave him a doubtful look before responding, "Uh-ha, sure. Okay, if you were riding around, where were you at?"

Cloud suddenly felt defensive and snapped, "Why is it any of your business anyway?"

"Because you didn't answer you're cell phone for the past two hours. In fact, you had it turned off. And when you finally answered it, two hours and fifteen minutes had past. Vincent has been here for at least three hours." Tifa replied calmly, masking the anger in her voice.

In truth, Cloud had actually visited the part of the town that had been destroyed by Sephiroth. He still wasn't sure why he had gone there, but he had. It was almost as if he could sense Sephiroth there, it had been troubling him for sometime now. Cloud didn't tell Tifa or Marlene, Denzel, or Vincent because he knew that Tifa would worry and Vincent would just go there and not find anything. When Cloud got to thinking about it, it sounded rather stupid, but he knew what he had sensed there.

Tifa had taken advantage of Cloud's pause and said angrily, "So you were off somewhere that you weren't supposed to be, right?"

Cloud was taken aback by the sharpness in Tifa's voice. For once, he didn't respond, instead he looked away from her and went to go sit down. He rested his head on the palm of his head, thinking. He lifted his eyes to the window for a moment, and in a flash, he saw her again. Cloud gasped and jumped to his feet as she vanished. Karlesc had been standing in front of his house without him even realizing it!

Vincent, Tifa, and Marlene gave Cloud looks while Denzel sat there, looking at Cloud with confusion. Not one of them had seen her. "What'd you see?" Marlene asked eagerly. Cloud didn't answer, he wouldn't tell them, not yet. It wasn't that he wanted to keep it a secret or anything, it was just…something told him that something bad would happen if he told them. He didn't know what though, and it troubled Cloud deeply. Just knowing that she had found him was bad enough.

Cloud sat back down in silence, his eyes distant. He was thinking, about old times. About when Geostigma had infected people, killing them. He remembered the Reunion with Kadaj turning into Sephiroth. His mind flashed back to when he had killed Sephiroth for a second time. Then he saw images of when Sephiroth had stabbed Cloud in the chest and his Masamune going all the way through him. As Cloud saw those images, he remembered the pain, he felt the pain again.

Oh how he longed for the feeling to leave him, for memories to vanish. He still felt guilty for not being able to save Aeris. He had let her die…the image of her body flashed through his mind and Cloud suddenly snapped. He'd had enough of just being haunted by the memories. He'd had enough of having to live with every single day, knowing, that somewhere, Sephiroth still was. His words, when he had died that day, still haunted Cloud.

"I will…never be a memory…"

He stood up and walked past Vincent, Tifa, Marlene, and Denzel without a word. He had to make this stop…now. Tifa was about to speak up, Cloud realized, when Vincent laid a hand on her shoulder and just shook his head, "Let him be."

Cloud didn't turn to look back at them as he opened the door and closed it. He went over to his motorcycle and started it up. With that, he put on his sunglasses and sped off to no where in particular. He didn't know where he was going, he only knew that there was something leading him on.

Tifa stared out the window as she watched Cloud go. "Why does he always leave us alone?" she asked herself, not expecting an answer.

"Because he feels as if that is what he must do. He has a lot of thing son his mind right now. The news about Sephiroth returning must have made him upset. After all, Sephiroth was the one who killed Aeris and Zack."

Tifa didn't respond. She couldn't respond. There was nothing she could say to Vincent, so Tifa kept silent. For a long time sense Cloud had defeated Sephiroth, he had grown more distant and went out almost everyday. Now, they barley spoke. Cloud usually came home late and rarely answered his phone, and a lot of times, he had it turned off. Tifa didn't know what was wrong, and she had asked Cloud once, but he told her to forget it. But Tifa couldn't.

Karlesc found herself standing in a crowded area. Many people had anxious looks on their faces and seemed excited about something. She didn't know what, and nor did she care. Instead, her hand gripped the sword at her side. It was the Masamune, her brother's sword. Many people usually ignored other who carried weapons, but a select few would eye her blade with fear. Whether anyone had figured out that she was Sephiroth's sister, or not, she didn't know. It was her job, though, to kill anyone who found out. And right now, there were five that knew. All five of them would die. She blinked as she heard someone shout, "Come on! Kill him already!" This caught Karlesc's attention. Her blank expression twisted into an evil look as she pushed her way through the crowd and came upon someone who had a thick, heavy blade and was fighting another guy who carried a thin, but sturdy sword that was about four feet long.

She noticed a sign that said: Come and fight the Great Stowraga. Winner gets three thousand gil, loser, they lose their life. Be warned: He has never lost a battle.

Karlesc watched and waited as the big guy with the heavy sword killed the smaller man with a blow to the side. Blood splattered on the concrete. This was the place she was looking for. "Who's next?" Stowraga roared.

No one stepped forward. Karlesc looked at them all, muttering, "Cowards," before stepping up the man. "Oh so the little lady is going to fight, now is she?" Stowraga taunted. "Well don't worry, I won't let you suffer."

Karlesc smirked, and replied coolly, "I think you'll be the one to die."

Stowraga glared at her and responded, "If you think that because your ex-Soldier and that makes you stronger than me, you're wrong. I've killed a few ex-Soldiers before."

"Is that so? Well, did you ever fight against the General and kill him?" Karlesc asked. She had to know who had killed her brother twice, and maybe this jerk knew.

"What are you stupid? Everyone knows that the only person who can kill the General is Cloud Strife!" A few people laughed while other ranted on, telling them to start the fight.

"That's all I needed to know." Karlesc drew Masamune and heard loud gasps come from people. She even heard others yelling, "That's Sephiroth's sword!"

"Wow, I'm surprised you realized that." Karlesc muttered, rushing towards Stowraga who had a shocked look on his face, but he was quicker than he looked. He deflected her blow, making Karlesc jump back to avoid the swing he sent at her. Karlesc held the Masamune out to her side and swung it, sending it slashing into Stowraga's shoulder. Stowraga's eyes grew wide and then shut tight with pain as Karlesc easily removed her sword from his shoulder and stabbed out at him. Stowraga raised his weapon with one arm and deflected it.

She held her sword up and then titled it, and began to rush Stowraga. She tripped him off his feet. He fell, his weapon clattering some feet away. People roared with protest as he kneeled in front of her. "Kneeling to death? Or to me? Either way, I feel honored, and I guess you deserve a little gift for telling me who killed my brother." Karlesc whispered.

She felt pleasure as a look of pure horror crossed Stowraga's face as she finished. Then, with on last stroke, she stabbed her blade through his chest. Karlesc removed it, blood gushing from the wound. The big, chunky man gasped for air as his eyes glazed over and then he was still.

Karlesc heard many shouts from people, "You didn't have to kill him!"

"You're going to pay for killing Stowraga, woman!"

"How dare you!"

Karlesc ignored them. One guy, in front of her, took out a gun and aimed it at her. Karlesc rolled her eyes, blood still dripping off her brother's sword, she struck out, decapitating the man.

Cloud saw people gathered around someone, they seemed very upset and angry. He blinked and stopped his motorcycle. He got off of it and moved silently towards the crowd, his Buster sword on his back. Cloud didn't know why he still carried the sword's case on his back when big had happened in such a long time, but he had continued to carry it. As he pushed his way through the crowd, the hairs on the back of his neck prickled. He sensed that a death had occurred.

He quickened his pace as he shoved through the crowd just in time to see Karlesc decapitate a man. His eyes grew wide at the sight and he noticed what sword she carried. It was Sephiroth's sword. Cloud couldn't just stand there. He stepped forward, drawing his Buster sword.

"How did you get Sephiroth's sword, Karlesc?" Cloud asked, right behind her now. His blade was position in a hostile manner and his face was dark; his eyes, cold.

Karlesc turned her head to look at him. Her mako green eyes blinking before she turned around, calmly. Her blade was lowered and her eyes were dull. "Finally, someone who knows me! And ah, another ex-Soldier I see!"

"Yeah what about it?" Cloud growled at her. He didn't know how she fought or anything. Without that information, he knew that he was taking risks. Of course Cloud didn't know if she'd really fight him or not, but if she was anything like Sephiroth besides being a murderer, then yes, she would fight him.

"I was just saying. What is your name and do you know a Cloud Strife?" Karlesc asked, holding up her blade. She glared at him, her mako eyes flashing. She seemed to grow tense as she spoke, Cloud noted. There were defiantly signs of fight in her.

"You're looking at him." Cloud glowered, seeing a look of anger and slight surprise flashing through her eyes.

"So you are the one who defeated the Great Sephiroth." Karlesc said smoothly, sheathing her brother's Masamune.

Cloud realized that she wasn't going to fight him just yet. Maybe it was because it was too crowded, but even as they spoke, people stepped further and further back, for fear of their lives. Two great warriors stood there, both posing threats to one another. He sheathed his sword, saying to her in a mocking sort of tone, "I wouldn't say 'Great'. More like an Jenova experiment turned bad."

Karlesc glared at Cloud and whispered harshly, "You dare insult my brother, Strife?" Cloud didn't like her tone and didn't want to get into a fight. He shook his head and turned away. He started to walk off when he felt a blade go through his right arm, through his shoulder. Cloud looked down in pain to see the Masamune's tip going straight through his back and through his shoulder. He jerked forwards, the blade coming out. Pain seared through his shoulder as he spun around to face Karlesc. She was smirking at him as blood ran down his shoulder.

"I wasn't finished talking with you, Strife. You don't just go running from me." Karlesc said dangerously. People around them shifted nervously as they watched the two ex-Soldiers. A few of them were looking at Karlesc with anger, everyone else was too engrossed with what was happening. Not one person paid attention to the two dead men off to the side.

So, how do you guys like it so far? I actually think this might turn out to be a pretty good fan fiction, and I never believe that. I didn't believe that about one of them, and it turned out to be the best I wrote. Of course, while I'm writing this, I am getting info on Final Fantasy VII from a friend, Nightfire45. We both love Sephiroth fan fics-if you guys know any, please tell me! I want to read them!-as long as they aren't slash. I do not like slash, like a lot of people.

&&&

I have returned to bring you another chapter! The last chapter was a cliffhanger, and I hope to get some reviews! I would like to say, though Nightfire45 did not review, she seems to like my fan fic a lot. I was talking to her on the phone, so if any of you have read her profile and saw some of her upcoming fan fics, then you must know that she can not submit a story until June 29. Anyway, on with the chapter!
