Hey everyone! Sorry it took me a while…no excuses this time. Sorry! ANYWAYS, I hope you like it. The chapter starts with Cloud being sick. I do have a reason for this…I might explain it next chapter…. So yah. Enjoy! XD

Tseng watched the troubled man sleeping. His head moved back and forth with the entire nightmare. His fever was claiming and there was nothing that can be done to fix things. At least nothing, that won't alert Lazard that the Turks had the blonde.

"Aerith!" Cloud sat up straight eyes wide. "I have to save her."

"You need to lie down." Tseng said gently nudging the sick man down.

Cloud knocked Tseng hand away. Then sat up and swung his legs off the bed. "You should know better than to try to stop me."

As soon as he saw Cloud starting to fall, Tseng quickly grabbed the blonde's arm. "You need to rest, you are very sick."

"The only thing wrong with me is Jehnova." Cloud started to walk forward. "He will kill her if I don't leave now."

Tseng stepped in front of Cloud to see that his sickness caused the hallucination. Tseng knew what to do. "Who's going to kill her?"

"Sephiroth," Cloud said as he tried to push past the Turk.

"Sephiroth?" Tseng then remembered what Zack had said. The two of them were sent back in time to stop a catastrophe. Could this be it? "Where were they headed?"

Cloud looked at him and blinked. "Tseng…Where are we?"

"Midgar." Tseng watched as Cloud tried to process what was happening. Cloud looked around to see the medic bay. Fear washed over him.

"Get me out of here!" Cloud screamed in Wuatian.

Tseng had to hold Cloud still as he tried to make a mad dash to the door. "Strife you need to calm down."

"No, not Strife. I am…" Cloud fell on his knees gripping his head. "Help me."

"Raquel." Tseng shouted for the doctor. He knelt down next to the anguished blonde. "Breath, take deep breathes."

"What's happening?" Raquel asked as she entered the room.

"I am not sure." Tseng said as Raquel took in the situation. Cloud was on the floor holding his head.

"Cabhair dom le do thoil?" Cloud seemed to plead through clenched teeth.

"First step is to stop the pain." Doctor Raquel walked to the cabinet and pulled out a syringe and needle.

"Cloud, Dr. Raquel is going to help—"

"No!" Cloud tried to stand and get away. Tseng reached out and pushed Cloud back down.

"You need to calm down." Tseng tried reasoning. He would end up hurting himself if he continued to thrash about.

When he realized there was no escape, Cloud fell limp in Tseng's arms whimpering. Tseng wasn't sure what to do in this situation. Cloud curled himself into the tightest ball possible, shaking. His eyes tightly shut as he brought both hands back to his hand. As soon as Raquel started walking towards him, Cloud tried to burry himself into Tseng while holding his head.

"This is only to stop the pain correct, nothing else?" Tseng said stopping the doctor from coming closer.

"Tseng, I assure you that I will not intentionally cause him harm." Raquel said when she understood where the question came from. Tseng nodded and Raquel quickly gave Cloud the drug. "There, you should feel the effects of it soon."

"Aerith dúirt go raibh mé riamh ina n-aonar," Cloud said in the strange langue again. "But they aren't here… no one is here…"

XD XD XD XD XD XD XD

The moon light lit Angeal's worn carpet path. He was anxious to hear why only Genesis was sent to Wuati. Lazard didn't tell him the specifics in the message that he gotten at lunch, but for some reason Sephiroth was sent out on a mission and Angeal was to wait for Lazard outside of his office. Angeal knew that Lazard was pushing his meeting off with him, increasing the sneaking suspicion that the whole mess had to do with Zack. Why did every bad feeling involve Zack these days? Angeal continued his pacing.

"Angeal, you are needed at the helipad." A 2nd said.

Angeal stopped pacing and looked between the 2nd and the director's door. "Can it wait?"

"Sephiroth said to get you up there before…." The 2nd wasn't given at chance to finish the sentence as the 1st practically flew for the elevator.

Angeal got to the elevator; he released a sigh of relief to find it empty. He punched a code into the machine before the door closed. The code would insure that the elevator wouldn't stop until his destination. He made it to the top of the building in record timing for the middle of the day. He got there just as Sephiroth came out of the helicopter.

"How was the mission?" Angeal asked.

"Interesting," Sephiroth answered as he looked behind him. "You can get out on your own?"

"Yah," Zack's voice floated out from the copter. Sephiroth shoot out a hand as Zack stumbled out. "Maybe not…"

"Zack, I thought you were in Wuati." Angeal rushed over and took his student's arm.

"I don't…" Zack reached up with his free hand and cupped his head.

"He has been experiencing a lot of headaches since I found him." Sephiroth said, taking the lead.

"To the med—" Angeal was about to say.

"No I—" Zack stopped walking and took his other arm away from Angeal to cradle his head. Because Zack took away his support, Angeal had to catch him quickly. Causing Angeal to kneel as Zack's body went limp.

"Zack?" Angeal asked.

"Please…no labs…" Zack's voice sounded weak.

"Perhaps we can go to my apartment and I can send for one of my outside doctors?" Sephiroth offered.

"Are you sure that is okay?" Angeal asked.

"Yes, I believe I need a check-up anyways." Sephiroth stated as he turned on his heals to enter the building.

XD XD XD XD XD XD XD

Sephiroth was already calling his personal doctor when Angeal, who was helping Zack walk, got into the elevator. The phone rang twice.

"Well, I wasn't expecting you to call for a couple of more days." A male voice answered. "Is something wrong?"

"Yes and no, Dr. Daniel." Sephiroth answered.

"Oh?" Daniel chuckled, not like Hojo's creepy one. His laugh was one that sounded safe and fun.

Sephiroth smirked. "Just come through the front doors. I will meet you there."

"I am free, thanks for asking." Daniel said. He chuckled again when Sephiroth didn't reply. "I will be there in 10 minutes."

Sephiroth hung up the phone and looked at his astonished friend. "What?"

"Nothing." Angeal said as he looked at his student.

Sephiroth took the moment to look over the young man. His eyes were gently closed, sleeping. His face seemed to be flushed from a fever. Sephiroth wasn't sure if it was a bad one or not just by looking at it. Zack looked pale and he seemed to be having a nightmare.

"You," The strange blond man pointed at him. "Protect him."

Who was that man? How can he be as strong as me? Sephiroth took his gaze off the sick puppy to straight ahead of him. We seemed to be matched in skill. But I don't know if that is true or not. The warrior seemed to be holding back. Why? He said that if I wanted Zack I had to kill him. I don't even understand why I held back either…

The ding of the elevator brought Sephiroth from his thoughts. He handed Angeal the key to his room and watched his friend walk away. He pushed the button for the main floor. The warrior fighting was not the only thing to intrigue me. He definitely choose not to hurt me. He also had more matria on him then just the fire, yet that was the only one he used. There was also the reaction he had when he saw Zack. Was that a sense of peace the warrior had? How does seeing someone give you a sense of peace?

Sephiroth's thoughts ran in circles as elevator doors opened. He saw Daniel leaning against the stairs with his back to the door, facing the elevator.

"Ah, General," Daniel said waving at him. "You're late."

"Humph." Sephiroth said as the doctor got into the elevator. Sephiroth pushed the button for the First's apartments. He didn't have to use any special codes to get to his destination quickly. Once the First's apartment's floor was pushed and a First was recognized the elevator took them to that floor imminently. Shinra had learned quickly not to keep an anxious First waiting for his room.

Once the elevator's door opened for the last time, Sephiroth lend the way to his room. He used the word 'room' generously. Sephiroth knew that two infantryman's dorms could fit in his 'room.' Angeal, Genesis, and Sephiroth had done the math one of the days they were board. Sephiroth walked in and over to Angeal. Angeal had gotten a cloth wet and had placed it on Zack's forehead. He was sitting next to Zack and was watching him intently.

"Dr. Daniel, this is Zackary Fair. I called you here to look at him." Sephiroth gestured to the sleeping Second.

"I am Dr. Daniel Iyasu. I have my own small business in town." The doctor walked over to Angeal and offered his hand. Angeal took it. "I have been treating Sephiroth for about 6 ½ years now."

"Thanks for coming," Angeal said. "My name is Angeal Hewley. I am Zack's mentor."

"You seem to be more than just a mentor." Dr. Daniel said as he started to take out his instruments.

So what do you guys think of Daniel Iyasu? His last name is supposed to mean Heal in Japanese… I used an online translator so it could be wrong.

Oh yeah the following is what Cloud said (the langue is Irish…well so says Google translator)

Cabhair dom le do thoil Help me please

Aerith dúirt go raibh mé riamh ina n-aonar Aerith said that I was never alone

So tell me what you think. Do you have any ideas? I'd like to hear them.
