"What would you do if the person you care for all over…was about to be killed?" "Would you put your life on the line just to save that person?" "Or would you step away and let fate take care of it?"
Chapter 12: Save the Cetra
"If yuffie the only one around this should be easy…kidnap..." he whispered as a grin appeared on his face. Rude nodded to Reno because he was right. Yuffie heard them now! She threw one of her weapon toward where Reno and rude were hiding. They both fell out of that spot. "Ouch!" Reno yelled as he hit the ground.
"The Turks..?" Sara asked looking confused at them. "What do you want?" yuffie yelled toward them. "Are boss ask for the girl!" Reno said pointing toward said as rude nodded. "Huh..?" was all Sara could answer. Just then the ninjas came out of hiding as well.
Yuffie quickly turned to see ninja from her town standing there. "What. The..?" she yelled seeing them. "Ms.yuffie please moves aside, we have to kill that girl for this planet future..!" the leader ninja said pointing toward Sara. The two groups stood there as Sara and yuffie felt freeze in time.
"Are you crazy? I'm not moving!" Yuffie yelled standing there. "We will not ask you again…ms.yuffie!" another ninja added in. "just come quietly and nothing will happen to the others here…" Reno said pointing toward Sara. "What is this…?" Sara asked backing up a bit. "…stand back. Sara!" yuffie yelled stepping in front of her. Reno nodded to rude as he started toward yuffie.
"…!" yuffie quickly threw her Conformer at him but he moved his head a side dodging it. "Yuffie!" Sara yelled watching her friend fall into her back. "ma'am shouldn't we help miss.yuffie?" a ninja asked watching. "No only kill the demon child…" The ninja said as the ninja started toward the two. "…!" Yuffie quickly jumped back into her feet catching her Conformer throwing it toward the ninjas.
A scream could be heard as cloud and Vincent stood by the fence. "…!" Vincent quickly blinked. "Vincent…?" cloud asked giving him a look. "That was…yuffie's scream…" Vincent quickly broke the fence in half running to her aid. Cloud was worried and followed him.
Yuffie was having trouble just holding the ninjas off. She couldn't hold off the Turks as well. Yuffie quickly fell into her knees. "Yuffie!" Sara cried watching the hold thing. "Get out of here!" "They are after you anyways!" She yelled looking back to the girl. As she did the ninja broken past her; "No!" she yelled as they started toward the girl. "Goodbye…!" the ninja yelled holding the sword up into the air as it got close to her a metal hand stop it.
"..W...what is this…?" the ninja asked looking up to find a man with long black hair standing there. "…leave her be…" he said breaking the sword with his hand. "Vincent!" yuffie yelled seeing he was there. She was glad to see him come help for the first time in her life.
"Well if they are busy…we will be taking. The girl then…" rude quickly ran toward the girl. Vincent quickly looked over his shoulder as he did the ninja punched him in the stomach. "Ugh…" Vincent whispered falling into his knees. "Vincent!" yuffie yelled forgetting all about Sara.
She quickly step back finding her self trip and fall into her butt. Rude slowly nodded to him self making his hand move closer and closer to her arm. As he about touch it a blonde man ran in front of the girl. Rude quickly step back as the blonde man try to hit him with his sword. "…uh..." rude whispered looking at Reno. "You sure. Make are jobs…hard cloud…" Reno said shaking his head a bit.
'Cloud…?' Sara thought to her self. She slowly looked up to see him standing there in a towel. "Keep your hands to your self. And stay away from her…!" cloud yelled feeling angry in his eyes toward the two. "Aren't you being a bit protecting of her?" Reno asked with a grin; stepping toward them a bit. "…." Cloud didn't say a word as he stood ready for the two. He wouldn't let them touch her. Reno and rude quickly started running toward cloud; he held his sword in front ready. But as they got there Vincent jumped in front surprising all of them.
"Vincent..?" Cloud asked looking confused. "Cloud! Leave now!" "Me and yuffie will hold them off get the cetra out of here…!" cloud slowly nodded to Vincent grabbing into Sara's hand. "Come on!" he yelled as they both started to run out of there. The two ran into the locker room. "Cloud...umm...we should change…!" cloud blushed hearing this. He forgot he was still in a towel. "Umm...yeah…" cloud quickly ran to the man locker room to change as Sara changed in the women's locker room.
As soon as both were umm dressed they left the locker rooms. They quickly made they're way out of Cosmo canyon. But the question was where to go? "Cloud. Where are we going…?" Sara asked watching cloud get into his bike. "Just away from here…" he said nodding to her; telling her to jump on. She jumped on as she was told too. She put her arms around him.
He found him self blushing again. This wasn't the time for him to act all shy. He just had to get him self and her out of there! He quickly started up the bike and they took off. But little did they know they were being watched.
"Hmm…there's…Oni-san…" a voice whispered to two others. One of them smiled. "Oni-san…still protects her…" a man with long hair whispered. The one with hair just under his neck nodded to the other two. "Stop…Oni-san…" he whispered as the other two started down the hill on they're bike cloud and Sara.
"Hmm…?" cloud whispered seeing two things in his mirror. "What's wrong…?" Sara asked still holding into him. "Looks like. Trouble may have found us…" cloud whispered, stepping into the speed up the bike more. The other two on the bikes started up quickly after him. Cloud shook his head he was sure they were after them now. "Sara…" he whispered staring at the mirror. "Yes…?" she asked looking up at him.
"I need you take over driving alright…?" he whispered opening where his swords were on the bike. "Alright…" she whispered switching places with him. "Just keep going northwest…" she nodded to him taking over the driving. Cloud watched the other two bikes getting closer and closer. Cloud slowly pulled out a sword, taking it in his hand.
He couldn't believe what he was seeing the two on they're bikes looked just like Yazoo and loz. "Oni-san!" the long hair one yelled firing gun shots toward them. Sara quickly moved the bike toward the right. The other bike drove up close to they're. "…!" Sara looked over to the short hair man in shock. "Mother…time for pay back…" the short hair one yelled hitting her right arm.
She let out a small scream trying to keep the bike going alright. "Uh…" she whispered looking over to the man. "Hehe…" he whispered with a grin. Cloud was busy fighting the long hair one but quickly turned hearing her scream. "Sara…?" He yelled he saw her bleeding. "You shouldn't turn your head away!" the long hair one yelled hitting cloud's sword out of his hand.
Cloud watched it fly from them. Cloud could tell she couldn't keep the bike going like this for long. Because her arm had been hit hard; but then the two man stop going after them and started to flee. Sara slowly stops the bike. They both looked up a hill to see a man sitting at the top of it on a bike. The man had a grin on his face. "Next time oni-san…we will finish are fun…" the man yelled as he started to drive away.
Cloud slowly got off of the bike and stared where the man had been. Why did that person call him 'oni-san..?' he wondered to him self. "Ouch…" cloud blinked hearing a voice. "Sara..!" he yelled turning to her she was holding her hand. He quickly grabs a hold into it taking a look at it. She looked a bit surprised to see cloud react so quickly.
It was bleeding lot cloud looked worried looking at it. He slowly brings her hand to his face and started to shut up the blood. Sara started to blush watching this. It was like when she cut her self in the kitchen back in midgar. He was doing the same thing again. She keeps on blushing watching this. "S-stop that…!" she whispered cloud quickly blinked looking up at her.
The look in his eyes was like he didn't know he had done it to start with. He quickly let go of her hand. He coughed a bit, "umm...a-are you alright…?" He asked rubbing the back of his head. She slowly nodded to him looking away still blushing. "y-yes…aside from my hand and arm…" she whispered. Cloud was glad to hear that.
After that cloud started to fix up her arm and hand. Even those she told him it wasn't needed. They were always stubborn about little things even like this. Cloud sighed a bit shaking his head, he slowly head over to where his sword had land. He picks it up and looked at it. It wasn't destroyed but just cut up a bit. He slowly head back over to the bike and placed it inside closing where the swords are.
"We should take you some place safe or they will come after you again…." He whispered looking back to her. She didn't look too happy about the idea. Cloud shook his head a bit, "don't start…" He whispered still looking at her. "I am not going some place safe!" but it was too late it did start. "Sara…" he shook his head a bit at her. "We have to take you some place safe…!" "For one. Ninjas are trying to kill you…!" he said holding up a finger. "Two. the Turks are trying to kidnap you for unknowns reason…" He said holding up another finger.
She started to look angry toward him. "And three. Those three man who ever they are…!" he finished said placing his hand by his side. "I don't care. I'm going to midgar to help the children…" cloud's mouth drop mouth; "Were you listen at all?" He yelled at her. "The Turks are in midgar! They will find you there…!" he yelled but he saw her starting to glare.
Why did she have to be so stubborn? He wondered even those he knew him self was as well. "Sara…but…they….!" Cloud was more worried about her safely then anything. "Cloud…I want to go to midgar and that's final…" she said sitting into the bike. "…" Cloud could feel him self growl to him self. "…but. They will hate...you...because they believe you did everything jenova...did…" he whispered looking away from her.
"Maybe so. But I promise tifa...I would help her…" cloud shook his head a bit. He gave in to her. He slowly got into the bike. "Ok…but... promise you will becarefully…" he whispered starting up the bike. She slowly nodded putting her arms around him. "I promise…" she whispered as the two started toward the mako city of Midgar.
Cloud to head quickly in midgar so none of the people would know who she was. But cloud had a feeling the children tifa was taking care of would be scary of her as well. Cloud finally stops his bike at the church around this time tifa would be there with the children. Cloud watches her get off the bike and head inside. "…Sara…" he whispered he still felt like it was the aerith thing all over again.
But she isn't aerith he had to remember that. She was her self, a stubborn person just like him. That had lost everything because of sephiroth. Cloud slowly kicks his bike stand down. Then got off of it heading into the church as well; Loz had done a number on the church from his attack. He watched her head up to the flowers and just stares at them. Like him self she keeps a lot inside he knew this too well.
He slowly started up to the flowers but as he got close…She moved. She knee down checking on them. "…?" He watched her feeling confused by the whole thing. "…Sara?" he asked but she didn't answer. He could hear her crying. He quickly knee down her, placing his hands on her shoulders. "S...Sara what's wrong…?" he asked feeling worry.
"I-I hear. Them…" he whispered keeping her face covered. "…?" cloud looked lost at her. She slowly uncovered her face. "I hear…my dead…family. Voices…" she whispered looking toward the flowers. "…" cloud never knew she could hear them as aerith did. He wondered if all cetra could hear they're dead family. Cloud keeps watching her. He knew she was still crying even if she tries not to show it.
"But…" she whispered picking up a flower. "I can hear them everywhere…" "It's not right to hear the dead…" she shook her head. Cloud could tell it was too much for her to take. He wanted to do something for her to make her forget her pain. Without thinking cloud quickly pulled her close to him hugging her. It sure surprised her. "…!" she stared at him to shock. Cloud had his eyes closed and keep holding her. "I want…" he shook his head from those thoughts. "no…I'll be here…when ever you need me…Sara…" He whispered rubbing her back a bit. He could feel his body shake as well as her.
Was it because he was surprised he said that? Or because he was hugging her so close? He didn't know and didn't care now. "Cloud…?" she asked feeling confused by the whole thing. Why was he acting this way when he loves tifa? She wondered watching him. "Sara…I want to be forgiven…" he whispered opening his eyes looking at her.
"Forgiven…?" she asked looking lost at him. He slowly nodded staring into her eyes. "I'm…sorry for everything I ever did to you…please forgive me…" he whispered moving his face a bit closer to her. He was saying sorry? Was she hearing this right? This didn't sound like the cloud she knew. Because she knew it they're noses were touching. "c-cloud…?" she asked feeling her self starting to blush.
He slowly closed his eyes moving his face closer and closer. She let out a yell pulling out a fan out of no where hitting him with it. "What's wrong with you?" she yelled pointing at him who was now laying the ground. His body was shaking a bit.
"Sara…?" she turned to the voice to see tifa looking surprised standing there. "Tifa…I came to help!" she said rubbing the back of her. Trying to ignore what cloud just tried to do. "…you shouldn't be in midgar…" tifa whispered walking over to her looking worried. "Aww..dont you start to! You sound just like cloud…" she said crossing her arms.
She slowly smiled watching her. As she did cloud slowly stood up rubbing the back of his head. That was not hurting a lot. "Cloud..? What were you doing on the floor…?" tifa asked looking lost at him. "…don't ask…" cloud whispered sighing to him self. He couldn't believe what just happened. He finally tells her that he sorry and what does he get? A big hit on the head.
"Ignore him tifa!" Sara asked as a small smile appeared on her face. Cloud looked a bit angry toward her. "Are the children here..?" she asked tifa slowly nodded to her. "Yes. They are in the back but…" but before tifa could finish Sara ran to the back door to check on the children. "Sara…!" tifa yelled back she was gone. Tifa slowly shook her head. "Cloud. She shouldn't be here…" tifa whispered seeing cloud still rubbing his head.
"Yes. I know. That…" he whispered looking angry. "Did something happen? You don't look too happy…" cloud shook his head. If he told tifa she would just laugh at him. "Umm ok...but...the children are scared of her…" cloud blinked hearing that. "Scared of her…?" he asked stop rubbing his head. "They saw the paper…" tifa said showing it to him. It had a picture of jenova on it. It was the same picture cloud saw back in Cosmo canyon.
"Damnit...it here too…" tifa sighed placing the paper down. "It everywhere cloud! This paper goes to every town!" did that mean she would be a target in every town? "I know it isn't her fault. But the people don't know that. You can't really blame them…" tifa said shaking her head a bit. "Turks have even put up wanted posters of her…in midgar…" cloud had thought as much.
"They came after her. In Cosmo…as well did ninjas…" tifa didn't look too surprised. "Yes. That why you have to take her out of midgar and to some place safer…" he shook his head. "But. She too stubborn she wouldn't listen to me before…" he sighed to him self. How could he take her out of midgar without her fighting him?
"Cloud you have to talk to her about that. And the other thing…" cloud looked surprised at tifa. She knew. That he liked Sara…? "Tifa…" he whispered looking at her. "Cloud. You know how I feel about you…but..." tifa kicked a small rock with her shoe. "She needs you more…" cloud was speak less. "Tifa…" she quickly places a hand over his mouth. "Cloud…go. And take her out of midgar...before something happens…" he slowly nodded to her. He step back a bit then quickly ran to the back door where Sara was.
