Chapter 4: "The imprisonment"

Thanks to all of you who reviewed!

To cutehottroy: Sorry! I mixed the words up! I'm not English, you know, so I'm trying to do my best here!

The next morning, Tifa woke up early. She opened her eyes and saw Kadaj sleeping opposite her on the bed. She felt happy. There was nothing else she could ask for. Suddenly, she heard the door open.

"Tifa? I'm back!"

"Uh-oh… I hadn't thought about Cloud."

She ran downstairs.

"Hi Cloud! How are you?"

"Fine… I wanted to tell you that I'm going to another town, not far from here, and I'll be back in about a week."

"Oh, really?" Tifa tried not to sound too relieved.

"But I worry about you. I can't leave you here all alone!" Cloud said.

"No, no, no! Don't you worry a bit about me! I'll be just fine!"

"Are you sure? I mean…"

"Yes, I'll be fine…Now go, you don't want to be late…"

She practically pushed him out the door. Once Cloud was gone, Tifa was so happy she started dancing around the room. (!)

That night Tifa was working at the bar. Kadaj had offered to help her, but he was still weak, so she didn't let him. Once again, the bar was almost empty. Suddenly, the door opened and a tall woman walked in. She had long, brown hair and she wore black clothes. She went straight to Tifa.

"How can I help you?" asked Tifa.

"Don't you know who I am?" she asked, looking annoyed.

"No I don't."

"I am the President's wife! She yelled. "And I know that you are having an affair with my husband!"

Tifa stared at her in surprise. She didn't know what to say.

"I'll tell you only one thing… If I go home now and I don't find Kadaj there, you will regret the moment you were born! I can make you suffer…" she said every word with such hatred, that Tifa shivered. Then, she turned around and left.

Tifa's first move was to run upstairs to Kadaj. She opened the door and saw that the bed was empty.

"Kadaj? Where are you?"

On the bed she found a note. It said:

"My dear Tifa,

I heard what happened downstairs. I want you to know that that woman is the worst bitch I've ever met. I married her just because she owned half of England. However, I can't stay here any longer. All I am for you is trouble. Take care.

Kadaj."

"Oh God… not again…why does he always have to leave?"

She took her coat and went for a walk in the night. If she stayed inside any longer she would have become depressed.

The sky was clear and you could see the stars, which looked like small diamonds on black velvet cloth. The moon was full. Suddenly, men in black clothes started coming out of the shadows. They made a circle around Tifa. One by one, they charged at her. She knocked some of them down, but they were too many. As they started closing in on her, another man jumped from a nearby roof and landed on his feet, next to Tifa. It was Kadaj. Together, they continued fighting. Suddenly, the men stopped moving. Two of them stepped forward. The one had long, red hair and the other one was bald and wore sunglasses. It was Reno and Rude.

"Well, well, well… look what we've got here…take them to the boss." said Reno and turned his back to them.

Kadaj and Tifa were tied and taken to an old, empty warehouse. They sat on the floor, next to each other. Tifa looked at Kadaj.

"You shouldn't have come back." She said.

"But I did." He said, and looked at her. His eyes showed all his love for her.

"Well, what have we got here? Mr. President! You can surely be useful to me…Oh, and our little terrorist, Tifa Lockheart! We can get good money from both of you." The man who was talking was Rufus, the most important man of the towns mafia.

"What are you going to do to us?" Tifa aked.

"You'll see…" Rufus said and left, with an evil smile on his face.
