Warning: Fem!Cloud; Time Travel

Un-Beta'd

Although she was confused at the triplet's appearance so early on in her life and their age, Cloud took it in stride. Her mother never questioned the children's sudden appearance and just had a knowing look in her eyes. Cloud felt mortified knowing that her own mother believed the rumors, and no matter what Cloud said, her mother didn't believe her. The mortification Cloud felt when her mother claimed that she knew Cloud would give her adorable grandchildren never failed to amuse Tifa and Vincent - no matter how hard Vincent tried to hide that smirk, Cloud had spent way too much time with him not to notice it.

To avenge herself, she made sure to saddle Vincent with babysitting duty. Her excuse was that it was his chance to make up for lost time with Sephiroth, and since Sephiroth was an adult, Vincent would just have to settle with the triplets.

Cloud claimed that since they were Sephiroth clones, they would still be Vincent's sons anyway.

The Ex-Turk rebuked that since they were made from Sephiroth's DNA, that no, the triplets wouldn't be his sons.

"Then bond with your grand-kids", was Cloud's reply and she left it at that.

All the while, Tifa tried to suppress her laughter in the background.

Cloud's delivery business was doing quite well. Although she had regular customers, she mostly did business with her old friends and colleagues that remembered their previous lives. People like Cid, Barret, Reeve, Yuffie, and believe it or not, Rufus and his Turks. Of course, she never delivered anything at the ShinRa building - they would just meet elsewhere. Usually at the church with Aerith.

Sometimes, she would catch Zack there too. And sometimes, Zack and Aerith would use her to deliver each other love letters - never mind the fact that they both had a PHS. They claimed it gave them an excuse to see Cloud... and that it was far more romantic than calling or texting or something like that.

Yuffie used her to deliver letters to the others since she was forbidden to leave Wutai. Of course, Cloud was placed under suspicion the first few times she came. Later on, the Wutaians eventually got used to Cloud coming and going. Soon, the people of Wutai began using her services.

It probably helped that Cloud could speak Wutainese.

She did have all the time in the world to learn it, after all.

So there she was... walking nonchalantly in the middle of a battle field in Wutai, packages in hand and First Tsurugi strapped on her back, just in case.

She delivered them, got paid, and was completely oblivious to the incredulous looks she was receiving from the SOLDIERS. The Wutains were already used to her strange ways by now and paid her no heed except for an occasional greeting here and there.

Cloud went back to Fenrir, but by the time she got there, she was stopped by a man clad in red leather - a SOLDIER, she reckoned by the way his eyes glowed. He barked at her to identify herself and her business.

Cloud didn't recognize him but introduced herself and her occupation, regardless. She asked for his name and received a glower. He claimed to be a First Class SOLDIER by the name of Genesis Rhapsodos - a name that Cloud faintly recognized.

She didn't know why his name sounded familiar until she remembered Zack ordered a delivery for one Genesis Rhapsodos. Cloud ignored his sudden tensing when she reached for one of Fenrir's compartments.

She pulled out a letter and a package and handed them over to the man. She then whipped out her PHS and promptly asked him to sign, all whilst reassuring him that it was paid for by a Zachary Fair. After that was all said and done, she mounted her bike, bid him goodbye, and left without another word.

That was the first time Cloud met Genesis. If she had met him in her previous lives, she didn't remember.

The second time she met him was during another delivery in Wutai. This time, however, it was at the Kisaragi palace.

Genesis was apparently in the midst of negotiations with Lord Godo Kisaragi. Cloud was just there to give Yuffie another stack of letters from the rest of the gang.

Naturally, Genesis was surprised when Cloud all but barged in, unannounced. The Wutaians didn't even bat an eye when the princess suddenly rushed up to hug the woman. Not one of the Wutaians even raised a brow when the little princess pulled Cloud down to sit in the meeting.

The SOLDIERS were, of course, flabbergasted, but didn't comment. They didn't want to risk the negotiation failing before it even began.

Cloud didn't talk at all except to answer Godo and Yuffie when they asked for her input. She wasn't even supposed to be there. She had planned to deliver the letters, get Yuffie's replies, and leave to deliver those.

Of course, Yuffie just had to thwart those plans, even with the threat of babysitting duty.

Yuffie just said that babysitting duty would be better than being cooped up with nothing to do. And Cloud thought Yuffie must have been desperate to relieve her boredom.

Yuffie hated babysitting.

Frankly, Cloud was surprised that the people of Wutai didn't have a problem with the triplets - they obviously looked like Sephiroth - but then shrugged it off. Sephiroth probably became known as the Demon of Wutai later or something.

Perhaps she or one of the others accidentally changed something?

Cloud later found out that Genesis was hailed the Hero of Wutai.

Yes, someone definitely did.

In terms of the language, is it "Wutaianese" or just "Wutaian" or something completely different?
