Chapter 12: Give me strength
Location: SOLDIER Base
Time: 2:30 pm
Cloud's POV:
I didn't want to talk to her. Not at the moment anyway. I just didn't want to hurt her anymore and I knew that if we began talking, the truth would soon come out and…
"Cloud?" she spoke quietly.
Blinking away my thoughts I lifted my eyes to her face, which wore an expression of exhaustion and worry.
Sucking in a deep breath I waited for her to continue as I gave a slight nod.
"Is my father dead?"
Colour drained from my face and I choked on a breath of air.
Watching as she slowly made her way over to the railing and then lean against it with her back facing me, I got the sudden urge to just walk up to her and hold her. She looked so lost and alone. Like me.
"He died that night on my birthday didn't he?" she asked but seemed not to really care if she got an answer or not. It was almost as if she had just given up and was trying to make everything make sense once and for all, after wondering all these years and yet she secretly hoped that I would just tell her everything.
But I would not say a word. I had found out things in the past few days that I myself never even knew about. Knowing these things made me feel like I knew nothing all along. I was fighting against something that I loved and hated at the same time.
He was her grandfather. How could that be though? It was too hard to even comprehend. Sephiroth had never been intimately involved with anyone that we knew, let alone have a child. Something else that bothered me while looking through the descendants of the evil and yet very legendary man was that every woman who had given birth to a child had died.
A woman who went by the name of Aeris had first given birth to Sephiroth's daughter and then died soon after. In turn that child had married and given birth to a daughter as well. However she died much like her own mother.
Looking over at the fragile form standing a few metres away, I wondered what fate had in store for her. She had already lost a child. My child. I looked away to the ground and rubbed my eyes as a fresh wave of guilt washed over me.
If the child had of been born, would she have died too like her ancestors before her?
The idea of it was too hard to even consider.
Now staring up at her again I noticed that she had turned her head slightly to the side so as to stare over her shoulder at me. Her eyes held a look of remembrance, as she seemed to take in my exterior with curiosity.
Her brow furrowed then and she turned without a word.
Running a hand through my hair I inhaled deeply and hesitantly took a place at her side. It felt awkward standing next to her like this to tell the truth. After all these years of never even thinking I would see her again I was standing at her side quietly. For a moment I tried to forget I was in uniform and instead in the normal day-to-day clothes I used to wear. I tried to imagine that she was standing a few metres away in her usual fighting stance ready to attack me. It brought back memories of the way she used to look at me when she thought I wasn't paying attention and the way we used to lay next to each other quietly on the ground somewhere after a long day of training.
"You had the best smile I'd ever seen." I thought out aloud, not realising that for the first time in years that I was actually smiling myself as I said this.
Her sudden movement next to me pulled me back into the present and I instantly realised where I was and whom I was with again.
Turning my head to the left to catch a glimpse of her face I saw that she hung it in such a way that one would have thought someone close to her had died.
Well…I guess she only really did find out about her father, even if I was yet to confirm it was true. She knew. She didn't really need to ask me for confirmation.
I frowned at her once lively and glowing features now looking so down and frail. I really wanted to lift her chin and make her smile again. Knowing that she was like this because of me made me want to throw myself off the balcony. I hated myself for everything I put her through. I just…
"Tifa?" I asked quietly, almost afraid that speaking loudly would startle her.
She licked her lips as if to say she was listening but continued to stare down.
"I…I want to ask you something."
She did not respond, but I knew she was still listening.
"How come you never told me about…I would have stayed if…" I was having so much trouble trying to get out what I wanted to say. I was lying slightly as well. Although I was trying to say I would've stayed if I knew about her pregnancy I don't think it would have changed my mind.
Brushing a few strands of stray dark hair behind her ear she turned to stare at me with dark eyes and while she gazed upon my face, she wore a look that seemed to say she didn't know this person in front of her. It made me feel sick.
"Would it really have mattered? Besides, we were both too young for a child. It was best he was never born." She said. However I knew that underneath her calm exterior she was really screaming and grieving for her baby. Our baby.
"You know that's not true Teef. Young or not, you would have made a great mother." I stated only to realise moments later that I was only making her feel even worse.
She raised a hand to her eyes and breathed through her nose as if to stop tears falling.
I proceeded to place an arm around her shoulders when I felt her roughly shove me off and turn to me with red-rimmed eyes.
"I swear if you even try to pretend that you would have stayed for our child's sake again, making me feel like I was in the wrong for not telling you, I'll…" she slowly moved her eyes off to the side not being able to finish.
Moving over to her, knowing that she was feeling really lost at the moment I wrapped her into a warm embrace hoping that I could provide even the slightest bit of comfort.
"I'm sorry I wasn't there for you." I whispered into her ear and buried my face into her hair.
Moments later she brought her hands up to the back of my shoulder blades and clung to the back of my shoulders firmly.
"I wish you never left." She whispered, causing me to cringe and feel my muscles tense at the mistake I'd made by leaving her.
I wanted to say 'me too.' But if I were to say that, it would have sounded as though I really wasn't sure on my decision to leave that night. It would only make her feel worse, knowing that she could have tried to make an uncertain man change his mind.
All I could do at that moment was hold her. Small flutters of familiarity warmed me for small amounts of time, by just remembering how wonderful it was to be with her. But then it was gone as she pulled away stating that she couldn't do this. It hurt me. I felt like I was really losing her. Maybe it was too late for that even. Maybe I had already lost her.
It was getting cool now and I really didn't want her to be out after everything that had happened today. She'd had enough excitement for one day. Getting sick was something she definitely didn't need. So stepping away from her reluctantly I began to walk her back inside the building.
Location: Vincent's office
Time: 3:00 pm
Yuffie's POV:
He was a magnificent thing to look at. Long dark hair covered partially by a crimson bandana and his mouth covered by a collared, long crimson cape. His skin was a ghostly pale colour and his eyes were deep. But the thing that most interested me was his claw. Ever since meeting him I had wanted to ask him how he came to possess such an extraordinary artificial limb.
Sitting on the edge of his desk like I had done nearly every time I entered his office since joining SOLIDER, I saw that he was now reading a few papers on the other side of the room with great interest.
I wonder if it has anything to do with Reno.
Sighing inwardly I turned my gaze away from the man in front of me and thought of the redhead.
He was such an idiot for getting involved with such things. How long had he been associated with this Kadaj anyway? I feel like I never really knew him now. My feelings for him before I found out about this whole incident were somewhat confusing. I wasn't sure if I loved him as yet. I liked him a lot that was for sure. He was the first man to ever share my bed. A blush spread across my cheeks at the thought of this.
"Why miss Kisaragi, I do believe you are blushing." A deep voice stated.
Lifting my gaze up I saw that he had the papers resting by his side and his eyes fixed on mine.
I wondered then how long he had been watching me and felt my cheeks redden even more. He was extremely attractive for an older man. Reno was more of the boyish cute type. But Vincent was masculine and his dark aura made him seem sexy. To me anyway.
"Are you alright?" he asked with a little concern.
Nodding I smiled and jumped off the edge of the desk, now standing a few feet away from him.
I now stared at his hand and he must of noticed, for he hid it beneath his cape. I looked up to his face and saw that his expression had turned serious once more. Without thinking I blurted out, "Why do you have a claw for a hand?"
All was silent for a moment until he said, "I could tell you the story behind it if you like."
Surprised at his reaction I felt my eyes widen a little. "Really?" I asked quietly.
He nodded and brought out his claw once more. As he did this his cape slightly moved with him allowing me to see his full blood-red lips.
They looked so delicious. I found myself wanting to taste them.
A plan formed in my mind and I instantly decided that I would have my way. So moving closer, I heard him begin to speak to me about something that involved a group named SHINRA. I pretended to listen and kept walking closer until I was only inches from his body.
It was then that he noticed the proximity between us and stopped speaking as he turned his face towards mine, allowing me to get another glimpse of his mouth.
Beautiful.
Slowly I reached up to unbuckle a few clasps on his collar. He didn't stop me so I continued to do so until I could feel his cold breathing upon my cheeks. Then slowly, I stood on my toes and leant in to brush my lips against his. When he didn't reject me I pressed my mouth onto his hungrily.
Moments later he reached around my back to pull me in closer while I wrapped both arms around his neck, feeling his cold claw clutch onto my shirt.
Soon enough we were pretty much into it as he pushed me back against the desk and began to explore my body freely. A small moan left my lips as his body began to grind against my own.
However it wasn't too long after we had started that he suddenly pulled back and straightened his bandana while brushing back strands of raven hair.
Breathing hard I watched as he re-buckled his collar and walked back over to the other side of the room. Sliding off the desk I slowly made an attempt to re-button my own shirt.
I cautiously walked up behind him and lay a hand on his shoulder.
"Vincent?" I stated questioningly.
Shrugging me off he walked back over to his desk and sat down. I turned to see him sink down in his chair and rest his head in his hands.
"I'm sorry I…"
He held up his human hand signalling for me to stop talking. "Miss Kisaragi you are a very attractive young woman. If I knew that your actions were genuine I may not have stopped."
"Excuse me?" I asked with a frown.
"It is quite obvious that you're needing comfort now due to Reno being found out."
"So now you think you know me?" I asked in annoyance, before turning away.
"I never said that." He replied firmly.
All was quiet for a moment until I sighed, "I guess most of that is true…"
Then turning to him I quickly added on, "But that's not the only reason I did what I did. I ah…" I trailed off feeling my cheeks slightly burn with embarrassment. I mean he was at least ten years my senior. He was definitely easy on the eyes and could have had any woman he desired.
Then looking up at him again I finished, "I better go."
His eyes had seemed a little brighter if that were possible for a moment there.
Location: Cloud's Room
Time: 7:00 pm
Cloud's POV:
She'd been sleeping for at least four hours now. I was kind of glad she hadn't woken yet actually. It still felt weird to be in her presence again. However, considering I had some quiet time I found myself having a good long think.
Staring at her through wisps of dull blonde hair I watched her snuggle close to Marlene.
Her ancestry bothered me. Remembering back to the conversation I'd had with Vincent the previous day, I found myself closing my eyes and once again I found myself staring at a dull screen in front of me…
Flashback"But she's nothing like him." I shouted, not wanting to believe any of it.
"She doesn't have to be. But she is his granddaughter." Vincent replied firmly.
Turning back to the screen I found myself staring at her once more. Lifting a hand slowly, I reached out in an attempt to touch her through the glass.
Suddenly the screen buzzed and she disappeared, leaving me to look upon the red-haired one.
Removing my hand from the monitor I rubbed my chin thoughtfully.
"What's that?"
Directing my gaze to Vincent I raised an eyebrow and asked, "What?"
"A look of thought." He stated; a twitch of a smile forming on the corner of his lips.
"Funny." I replied unamused.
"So what have you found?"
Clicking on Reno's profile picture I realised that I had hit a key by accident and somehow I was now in Reeve's user area.
Tapping my lips lightly I squinted in order to focus on Reno's biography. All I had found so far was his father. There was no mention of him having any siblings or a mother. Obviously he would have had a mother but who she was, was yet another mystery to be solved.
"Vincent?"
"Yes?"
Tapping in a few keys on the keyboard I waited for the file to load. Frowning as I saw the new information I lifted a hand to wave Vincent away.
"What does that mean?"
"I need you to leave for a while. I need to check up on a few things." I muttered now scanning through old newspaper clippings, photos and documents.
Surprisingly he didn't even bother to argue the fact that this was his office and if anyone should be leaving it would have to be me. He left a few moments later, allowing me to further my research.
End Flashback"Cloud?"
"Mmm."
"Cloud?" the hushed voice asked again as they shook my arm gently.
Frowning I rolled my head to the side and pulled my arm away.
The next I knew something leapt at me and crawled up onto my lap. "Cloud wake up."
Jolting a little I steadied myself as I grabbed onto two small shoulders.
"Marlene?" I frowned now letting go of her.
Looking over to my bed I realised that Tifa was not there. But before I began to panic the door to my bathroom opened and Tifa walked out in her now clean clothes drying her hair calmly. She looked well now. Her skin had returned to its natural colour and her wounds looked a little healthier.
However her arm was now wrapped with a new bandage and I was able to see little blotches of blood seeping through.
Keeping my eyes fixed on her I lowered Marlene to the floor and stood.
"Reno gave you a pretty nasty cut." I stated.
Startled she turned to meet my gaze and then stared down at her left upper arm. Placing a hand on it she nodded and replied, "I'm just glad it wasn't my neck."
"You hurt yourself." Marlene spoke up as she gently lifted my right hand.
I lowered my eyes and then pulled away, hiding my hand in a pocket.
"What happened?" Tifa asked.
"Nothing."
I heard a small sigh of defeat escape her lips and then call for Marlene to come have a bath.
"You're absolutely filthy." Tifa commented in a very motherly way.
She would have been such a good mother…"Cloud?"
"Huh?"
"I used the last of the towels. Could you get one for Marlene?"
"Oh. Yeah." I lifted a hand to rub my right temple.
"You okay?" she slightly concerned.
"Yeah fine."
With that being said I made my way out of the room and down the hall to fetch a towel from one of the other rooms.
Location: Reno's cell
Time: 9:00 pm
Reno's POV:
"Reno?"Blinking my eyelids open at the familiar voice I sat upright in my bed and searched for a figure in the dimly lit room.
"Kadaj? Where are you?" I whispered.
"The Northern Crater."
"What? How and why?"
How was it possible for him to be speaking to me and yet he was not here and why was he iat the Northern Crater?
"Not important. What I need you to do is bring me the girl."
'That's kind of impossible considering the circumstances." I mumbled now flopping back onto the bed and picking at one of my nails.
"Than make it possible you idiot. They already know that I want the materia. I've asked them to bring it to me at dawn. Obviously they aren't going to give it up just like that. So a fair trade should persuade them to bring it to me."
"So you're going to use Tifa as bait?" I questioned.
"I like it." I continued when I received no reply.
"I'll be waiting."
With that he left my mind.
What the hell was I getting myself into again? How the hell was I to kidnap Tifa and cart her all the way to the city anyway? Blondie would kill me before I left the building. I needed to create a diversion.
"Hey you?"
Turning my head I frowned.
"Are you the one who hurt Tifa?"
Removing myself from the bed I made my way over to the bars of the cell door and then knelt before the little girl I had seen Tifa with a few nights ago.
"What are you doing down here all by yourself?" I asked running a hand through her hair.
She stood back and folded her arms.
"I ain't gonna hurt ya." I stated, showing her the most sincere face I could muster.
She seemed to let her frown drop a little but didn't seem completely convinced.
"You hurt Tifa though."
"That was an accident?" I reassured and then motioned for her to come over again.
Gently grabbing onto her upper arms I stared into her eyes and spoke softly, "Now I need you to do something for me okay?"
"What?" she stared at me with uncertainty.
"Have you seen a pretty white stone anywhere?"
She seemed to think it over for a moment and then smiled, "Yeah Tifa has one."
I raised my brow in surprise. "Really?"
"Yeah. But she hid it before I could get a good look at it."
"Where did she hide it?" I asked a little more forcefully and felt myself grip onto her arms a little harder.
"In her drawer…you're hurting me." she whimpered.
Letting my grip loosen I breathed in and began again but more calmly, "Okay I need you to do something for me."
"What?"
"I need you to get me out of here."
"But you're a baddy."
"No I'm not. Your friends accidentally locked me up. The real baddy got away."
Once again she seemed uncertain but turned and walked over to a desk on the other side of the room, pulling open a drawer and rummaging through it.
Soon enough she held a set of keys up and smiled.
"Good girl." I smiled.
Shutting the drawer quickly she brought the keys over and handed them to me.
"I don't know which one is the right one." She said with a frown.
"Don't worry. It won't take long to figure out." I replied feeling in control once more.
On about the fifth try I finally heard a click and the cell door opened with a creak. Pushing it open the rest of the way I bent down and patted Marlene's head.
"If the others ask where I've gone tell them I've gone to get the materia for Kadaj okay?"
She seemed confused, but I was smiling as I imagined the look on the others faces when she told everyone with such innocence that she'd helped me out of the cell so that I could go give Kadaj his materia.
Fools…the lot of 'em.
I began to walk off when I decided that I'd need a head start considering I had no transportation for the long walk to the bar. So feeling around in my pocket, my fingers finally glazed over a small bottle.
I smirked and knelt down once more to face Marlene. "Do you like sweets?"
She nodded and eyed the bottle in my hand.
"That doesn't look like a sweet." She commented.
Holding it front of her face I replied, "Well that's because this isn't any old sweet. It's special. But I don't think it's such a good idea to have it especially after you've brushed your teeth for bed."
"I won't tell." She answered pleadingly.
"Well I dunno…"
"Oh please?" she whimpered now moving closer.
Sighing I handed her the bottle. "Okay. But you had better drink it all so the others don't find half a bottle of sweets in the morning. You'll be in trouble."
Smiling she grabbed the bottle, popped the cork and guzzled it down quickly. Licking her lips she turned up her nose and coughed, "It tasted like medicine. Yuck."
She wiped the remnants of the liquid off of her mouth and handed the bottle back to me. No sooner had she done so, she begun to blink sleepily and grab onto my shoulders for support as she began to sway.
"I'm tired." She yawned.
Picking her up I carried her over to the bed in my cell and lay her down.
She had no idea how much she had just helped me.
Location: Yuffie's room
Time: 9:30 pm
Yuffie's POV:
"Yuffie have you seen Marlene?" an alarmed Tifa asked as she burst through my door.
"No." I sighed, not particularly caring about some little brat at the moment.
With that she was gone. I lifted my head from the pillow and leaned on my elbows. I had been trying to sleep, but with Reno only a few levels below me I just couldn't.
Besides…I was always used to him being on top.
A naughty smile graced my lips. Even though I knew what he had gotten himself involved in, it wasn't like I could just forget him and whatever feelings I had felt for him.
Sure he was a real idiot for doing what he did to Tifa. Sure I hated him for being such a stupid fool. But that didn't mean I wouldn't miss him anymore. I did miss him. I wanted to sleep with him at night and talk to him. Thinking back to my earlier 'activities' with Vincent I instantly felt as if I had betrayed Reno.
I silently thanked Vincent for stopping when he did. I would have done what I was going to do because of the previous events and then felt worse afterwards.
"MARLENE!" Cloud's voice sounded through the halls.
Several other men grumbled for him to shut-up in reply.
Sighing I flipped my legs over the bed and stood. I better help find the little monster.
Minutes later I found myself in Reno's cell staring down at the sleeping figure of Marlene.
"He's given her a whole bottle of sleeping potion." Tifa whispered in disbelief as she smelt Marlene's breath and monitored her breathing.
"How do you know?" Cloud queried.
"You took a whole bottle once from the cupboard when you thought it was alcohol. You were out for days. She looks the same as you did, except worse because she's so much smaller." Tifa replied, seeming to struggle with her words as she talked about her and Cloud's past together.
"Idiot." Tifa exclaimed. "He could have killed her. If it can put a fully grown man out for days it can definitely do something even worse to a little girl."
Cloud then moved forward and lifted Marlene up from the bed.
"Lets get her back upstairs." He mumbled under his breath.
He'd only just made it out of the cell when I realised that Reno wasn't here.
"Cloud?"
He turned and answered me before I even asked the question.
"Reno will be found. I'll have some men search for him."
I bit my lip and hoped that Reno would surrender when he was found. I really didn't want him to get hurt.
Location: Vincent's Office
Time: 9:15 pm
Tifa's POV:
"Why didn't you tell me?" I asked quietly folding my arms.
"I didn't want to bother you while you were unwell." Cloud answered solemnly.
Vincent seemed to sense that something was going to start between us so he intervened quickly, "What's important now is that we get the materia before Reno does."
"Can someone please explain why it's so important that Reno doesn't get the materia?" I asked in annoyance.
I hated not knowing anything.
"We can't talk about that now. We need to get to your house and retrieve it." Vincent spoke quickly.
"Cloud I suggest you get moving."
Looking over to Cloud I frowned and stated, "I'm going with you."
"No." Cloud replied and proceeded to leave the room.
He really was making me angry now.
"Cloud Strife I am going with or without your consent." I yelled before making my way towards him, taking note that his face seemed rather shocked at my sudden outburst.
"Cloud?" Vincent called before we left.
He turned and nodded.
"Make sure you watch her. The materia…you know what could happen."
I tilted my face to try and get a glimpse of Cloud's face. I saw that his eyes had lowered and he looked rather sad.
I decided not to pursue the matter anymore though. Reno was headed towards my house and I'd be damned before he took the last thing my father ever gave me.
Location: Seventh Heaven
Time: 10:00 pm
Cloud's POV:
"It's not here." She sighed and sat down on the bed slowly seemingly frustrated.
Looking around her room I noticed that it had been torn apart. Obviously Reno had either had a hard time finding the materia or he just decided to trash the place anyway.
Suddenly my phone began to ring.
Removing it from my hip I saw that it was Vincent. Who else?
"Yeah?"
"It's Marlene. She's been speaking in her sleep."
"And?" I tried to hurry him along.
"And she's been saying that she's sorry for taking Tifa's necklace and hiding it at home. Does that make any sense?" Vincent asked.
"Hang on."
I turned to Tifa and explained the situation and moments later she seemed to understand what Marlene was getting at.
"If you need us we'll be at…" I paused. "We'll be at Barrett's." I whispered.
"Be safe. And hurry."
I stared off absentmindedly for a moment before flipping the phone shut. I turned to Tifa and told her that we were going to Barrett's. Seeing her eyes light up at the mention of his name made my stomach churn. She didn't know...
We were now almost nearing Barrett's home. I was speeding towards his house on my Fenrir as fast as possible. It was starting to get cold and Tifa wasn't wearing anything warm. I tried to offer my coat a few times but the words never seemed to be able to leave my mouth.
"Are you cold?" I called back, blinking a few times through my shades as the street twisted and turned rapidly.
"I'm fine." She replied holding onto my waist a little more tightly.
Knowing full well that if given the option she wouldn't have been holding onto me the way she was right now, I still couldn't help but feel some comfort. It had been a long time. I wish now that I had done things differently.
I frowned at the thought and pushed the Fenrir to drive faster.
The sound of glass breaking beneath my boot could be heard as I stood into the doorway of Barrett's home. Looking down I saw the photo of Marlene and Barrett that Reeve had been looking at before he turned on me.
Tifa quickly leant down and picked it up within her bandaged hand. She mumbled something and then stood to stare around the room.
"What happened here?" she murmured beginning to make her way towards the living room.
"It's best we hurry." I stated as I pushed past her and began searching the current room for any sign of the materia.
Tifa moved off into what appeared to be Marlene's room and soon enough the sound of drawers opening and closing could be heard.
Tifa's POV:
I wasn't having much luck finding anything in Marlene's room. When we had come here a few days before I had been looking around the place for Barrett and had asked Marlene to go play in her room. If she had left the necklace anywhere I guessed it would have had to of been in her room.
"Where are you Barrett?" I mumbled in annoyance that he was yet again not here. He must have been drunk when he made that mess in the living room as well.
"I thought you were trying to straighten yourself out." I whispered.
Hearing something outside Marlene's bedroom window I turned and steadily made my way over. As I stared out I saw a lone figure standing below. He was staring down at something that I couldn't yet make out.
Moments later I was walking up behind him, seeing his head slightly turn to the side upon sensing my presence.
Moving to get a closer look at what he was staring at I saw two mounds of soil side by side.
"Barrett is dead." He suddenly spoke rather coldly.
After a few moments of trying to register his words I widened my eyes and took a few steps forward.
"But…he didn't…"
"No. He didn't hurt himself. Another did." Cloud confirmed before stepping away from the graves and heading back towards the house.
Turning to face his departing form I called out, "When did this happen?"
Stopping, he hung his head and then raised it again as he replied, "A few days ago."
"When were you planing on telling me? What of Marlene? She thinks he's left her."
"Best she thinks that rather than knowing the truth." He replied firmly now heading back to the house once again.
FlashbackThe sound of Marlene humming contently to herself was heard as I looked around at the photos of her and Barrett.
Picking up a recent one of them both I heard Marlene call out, "Tifa?"
"Mmm?"
"When are we going home?"A little startled by her question I turned to face her bedroom door and repeated questioningly, "Home?"
"Mmm. I'm hungry."
I smiled a little. She thought the bar was her home now.
End Flashback"We need to go back to the bar." I shouted out and began to quicken my pace towards the house.
Passing Cloud's standing form I called back, "Hurry."
A/N: Well there's chapter 12 for you. Sorry it took so long for me to update. I have 4 weeks of year 12 left. Exams and the like are coming up and I've been pretty busy with that lately. Holidays will be here soon. I will be working full-time but I will have enough time to add a few more chapters on my 3-week break.
I was also having a hard time writing this chapter but after watching Advent Children for the first time on Thursday I got the sudden urge to write more.
Thank you once again to those of you who gave me constructive criticism and to those of you who simply tell me to keep going. I will not be giving up on this story and expect to see another FFVII story from me soon. I have already begun to plan it and I hope to have the first chapter up by the end of this year.
