Chapter 11: Yuna Comes to a Decision
As Yuna watched the drops of water coming from her land on the carpet and stain it, she crossed her arms from the cold and tried to move as quickly as she could from the lobby to her room so no one would see her.
"Yuna...I'll see you, uh...later?" Vincent half asked, but shook his head in defeat. He didn't deserve to have Yuna see him later, so he just hung his head and walked away.
"Yeah, that would be-," Yuna was saying, because poor Vincent just looked so sad while the whole thing wasn't his fault.
"What's this? What's this I see?" Someone suddenly called out interrupting her. Cloud walked in with the biggest smirk, and Yuna gave up entirely on walking away. Once Cloud spotted you, it was over for sure, you were dead alright.
"Cloud-," Vincent started but it was no use. You could tell as Cloud shook his head that he was reciting what he was going to say.
"Tsk, tsk. I thought better of you Yuna. I mean, seriously-," Cloud started.
"Shut up Cloud! You're nothing but a blonde annoying little idiot with a weird choice of a name! You know this is not what it looks like!" Yuna exploded.
"-I thought you had a more creative mind, I mean obviously since you're such a gifted song writer. And here you are using the same technique again. But I guess the classics never fail. You know, I think I just might try swimming around in a lake to get a girlfriend," Cloud continued, then he couldn't say anymore even though he wanted too because he was dying to laugh and that's just what he did, he started laughing his head off.
Yuna sighed and slapped her forehead. Vincent was staring at Cloud, possibly hoping he'd burst into flames. Don't we all hope that? Don't we all? Just kidding Cloud, I love you. Well, uh...anyway...
"I mean c'mon! WHAT is it with Final Fantasy X people and water? I guess it never ends does it, probably cause it's so...efficient!" Cloud exploded and started laughing even more.
Wakka strolled in and looked at the scene. "What is going on, ya?" He asked.
Before Yuna could reply Cloud pointed at her and Vincent and exclaimed, "Hey Wakka! Look familiar?" and started to laugh and hang onto Wakka's shoulder, crying from laughter. Wakka shifted his eyes and wondered why Cloud was touching him.
"Get off my arm, ya," Wakka growled and Cloud backed away but still laughed.
"Those weird Final Fantasy X people. Haven't they ever heard of bathing suits? And last time I checked, people swam during the day time! Also, I had no idea Vincent could breathe under water too. Is there some way you can detect that in guys Yuna? Honestly, I wanna know. I didn't even know Vincent could swim!" Cloud continued. Wakka chuckled, than started to bark out in laughter with Cloud.
"Wakka!" Yuna snapped.
"What?...Ya?" He asked.
"You're from the same fucking game! You're taking his side?" Yuna cried.
"Sorry Yuna, but it's true...Ya," Wakka said, then he looked at Cloud who looked at him and they burst out laughing again.
"This is so immature. I'm leaving," Yuna huffed and walked out.
"Try not to get the hall way too wet Lady Yuna, us land lubbers like to walk here you know!" Cloud shouted after her. Then Cloud turned to Vincent. "I'm surprised you didn't sink Valentine, with that heavy cloak." Cloud smirked.
"Stop it already would you? The night already went terribly wrong without you adding to it, then rubbing it in," Vincent muttered.
"Yeah, whatever. Anyway, you did what you were supposed to do?" Cloud asked.
"No," Vincent replied shaking his hair free from water.
"What?" Cloud yelped.
"I'm not meddling in Lady Yuna's affairs. It seems to me she wants to break up with Tidus more then to the fact that she wants to make up. I'm not going to tell her what she should and should not do," Vincent replied.
"I get it," Cloud suddenly said. Vincent raised an eyebrow at him in surprise. Cloud grinned.
"What? You actually get something? Now I'm surprised...," Vincent said.
Cloud kept grinning. "You don't want Yuna to make up with Tidus at all. You're gonna leave the matter alone because you know she's gonna break up with him. Because you like her! You wanna kiss her! You wanna marry her! Because you love her!" Cloud singed, mocking Vincent as he jumped around him.
"Don't be stupid," Vincent growled.
"You wa-a-a-nt her! You want her to love you-u-u! Because you love her, and you wanna marry her!" Cloud continued, sticking his tongue out playfully.
Vincent clenched his fists. "I'm not afraid to hurt you Cloud," Vincent snapped.
"You wouldn't hurt Yuna. You like her," Cloud whispered grinning. Vincent tripped him and he fell but he got up and grinned at Vincent again. "I wonder what Tidus would think. Having his girlfriend taken away from him by some guy the complete opposite of him. That's gonna hurt so bad," Cloud said. "As a matter of fact, a lot of strange loves have been happening at the moment...can you believe Zell's marrying a hotdog named Lily on Friday? Now you and Yuna? The world has truly gone insane. Heh...at least I'm not the only one to go insane this time...well, anyway we should make sure this is alright with the Final Fantasy producers and all...I don't think they're gonna be too happy," Cloud continued.
"Forget the dumb producers. We can do what we want," Vincent replied.
"So you do like Yuna!" Cloud shouted.
"Leave me alone Cloud," Vincent growled and gave Cloud such an evil glare that Cloud finally shut up.
"Fine. I'll leave the matter alone. But if you guys get together, be ready to face me saying 'I told you so!' all the time I come across you, and perhaps in different languages if I can master it. And I'll pop up at any moment. Always reminding you that I told you so...always...," Cloud said mysteriously and faded into the darkness. Vincent rolled his eyes and went in to his room.
--
Sephiroth cursed everything he knew and everything in his sight as he made his way to Aeris's room. Another fucking therapy session, and he wasn't very happy about it. He knocked on the door and Aeris opened it, stammering something. Sephiroth thought she was trying to say "Hello". He just walked in and sat down quietly.
"I guess I should just tell you. Today's session is going to be like the last. I can already tell, so you see...I don't think you should come here anymore. Have therapy with me, I mean. It's not you, it's me, really so whatever you do please don't get mad," Aeris whimpered and hid under her chair.
"No more therapy sessions?" Sephiroth inquired.
"Yes, no more. It's too hard and stressful for me, I don't know why, maybe it is you and not me but whatever it is I can't do it. I tried to have a plan set out so I knew what I'd do but I still can't follow through with it... I'm guessing that's my limit. I'm sorry, but you may leave now," Aeris said. She sat firmly on her chair and watched Sephiroth across the desk.
"But-," Sephiroth started and Aeris shook her head.
"I'm sorry Sephiroth, but it isn't working out. I'm sure you're disappointed but this is really getting in my way and I want to be able to peacefully do my job. I can't do that when I have this secret fear in the back of my mind that you'll come back and it will be a disaster, so that's why I can't see you anymore--I mean s-s-see you in therapy, yeah that's what I meant, yeah...," Aeris said nervously and watched Sephiroth's reaction. He just sat there staring at her. "Don't take it personally," Aeris added looking down.
"Alright. I understand. What if...I start paying you?" Sephiroth asked and Aeris looked up.
"What? What, no! Sephiroth, can't you see? It's obvious you don't like therapy with me. You're not being forced into this you know, you can leave, you can quit! I'm giving you the chance to quit!" Aeris cried frantically.
"But I don't wanna quit! You may think having sessions with me is a disaster but the point of therapy is for me to like it and see how it works, and get my thoughts straight. You're just there to help. I say it's going fine, and I see no need to quit," Sephiroth made his mind and crossed his arms.
"But-But...I...I'm really, I'm really helping you?" Aeris wondered faintly.
"Yes," Sephiroth replied shifting his eyes.
"Oh...," Aeris replied and frowned in concentration.
"I'll let you think on it. Here...I kinda, you know...promised," Sephiroth suddenly said getting up and tossing a black case onto the desk. He left and Aeris looked at it.
"Please let it not be a bomb," She prayed and carefully took it, opening it. She gasped. She took a shiny, new, crystalized pink pen from the case and looked at it. "It's so pretty and...shiny," Aeris noted turning it around in her fingers. There were pretty black flowered designs on it too, the black looking dazzling against the pink. "I love flowers," Aeris said to herself again and placed the pen among her other ones. But then she took it back and placed it back in the case. Then she locked it in a drawer.
--
Aeris had come back from a lunch break and took a seat at her desk again. She looked around her empty room, then quietly opened the drawer containing the black case. As she opened and peered inside to view the pink marvel again, its shiny self with its black designs and the glitter of the color catching the light made Aeris awe at it again. She tossed the case over her shoulder and gripped the pen as if she was going to write.
"It suits me so well, and I love it so much. But how can it possibly be a present from him? It just doesn't fit that way...," Aeris said and took out a blank sheet of paper. She started to write her name over and over again in big cursive letters, the magic of the pen's color seeming to make its inked words magic. Then Aeris wrote Sephiroth's long name, then she wrote hers, then his, then hers again and before she knew it there was 'Sephiroth' and 'Aeris' written all over it.
"Oh dear!" Aeris breathed and dropped the pen. Suddenly there was a knock on the door and Aeris yelped, crumpling the paper and calling out, "Come in!"
Yuna came in looking totally flustered. "Oh Aeris! I need like, major help. You free?" Yuna asked. Aeris nodded. Yuna squealed and smiled, then her eyes traveled to Aeris's desk. "Nice desk, and oh! Nice pen! Can I see that?" Yuna asked and Aeris nodded again as she watched Yuna pick up Sephiroth's present. "The shiny pink color is so groovy. But don't you think the black flower designs kinda clash it?" Yuna asked handing it back.
"No! Black and pink together is a beautiful match," Aeris protested cradling the pen and glaring at Yuna.
"Sorry...Anyway, I have a major crisis," Yuna said sadly settling into a chair.
"You broke a nail?" Aeris asked sarcastically, carefully putting her precious pen away in a drawer where no one would find it.
"Hey! Not this time," Yuna snapped but then she sighed deeply.
"Something really is wrong. What is it?" Aeris asked.
Yuna suddenly got up and made sure the door was locked, and she closed all the windows. She sat back down and looked Aeris right in the eyes. "I think...I think I want to break up with Tidus," Yuna said firmly, and bit down on her thumb nail.
Aeris gasped loudly and dramatically. "No!" Aeris cried doubtfully but Yuna nodded.
"I know, I know! I feel so totally horrible, I feel so...two faced, you know? But I'm not doing anything wrong, I mean, I don't want to hurt poor Tidy but I don't want to date him anymore either. I don't know what to do," Yuna wailed and set her head hard on the desk top.
"This is pretty extreme," Aeris said seriously and Yuna began to cry.
"I know, don't remind me! But I have to do something, I just do!" Yuna sniffed.
"Calm down Yunie, it'll be alright. It's going to be tough though...I don't think you or Tidus are willing to have two whole years go down the drain," Aeris said.
"It's not going down the drain! I'm not forgetting about Tidy, not at all! I just wanna be friends!" Yuna cried.
"Ok, ok. Now...is there a specific reason you wanna break up?" Aeris asked.
"No...not really...," Yuna replied shifting her eyes.
"Yuna...," Aeris inquired leaning forward and giving her a stern glance.
"Fine! I-I...I think I like someone else," Yuna replied.
Aeris gasped again. "Yuna, are you serious?" Aeris asked.
"Yes of course I'm serious! This isn't a joking matter you know!" Yuna snapped. Then Yuna went on and on about how confused and desperate she was and stuff like that, while Aeris absently took her pen out again and started to doodle "Sephiroth" on her clipboard.
"And-Aeris? Aeris? You listening to me?" Yuna cried after twenty minutes.
"Oh, uh, sorry...um, so you like someone else. So Yuna, what do you think the producers will say about this?" Aeris asked setting the clipboard down and putting the pen somewhere where it wouldn't draw her attention.
"Oh, you're right! Oh, gee, my life is ruined," Yuna grumbled and sat miserably on the client couch.
"I'm glad I don't have this problem. Not that I would, I can date anyone I want because my character is dead," Aeris replied simply and her eyes caught her pen again and she started to look at it and pet it.
"...Aeris...you're a genius!" Yuna cried hopping up.
"Huh?" Aeris asked.
"You're dead! You're dead, haha! Yes!" Yuna cried twirling around.
"Hey, that's a bad thing you know! I had a lot of fans...," Aeris huffed.
"No, not that! Tidus! He's gone, he's not real! His character, I mean. I can date anyone I want too! I'm not taken! Heh, I wanna see those producers try to find a loop hole in that!" Yuna cried triumphantly.
"You do have a point actually," Aeris replied stroking her chin. Yuna squealed. "And to think that you're supposed to be sad he's gone," Aeris grumbled.
"Who cares about that, I'm a new woman. Fuck it, I even have my own sequel. I don't need Tidus. I don't need anybody, but I can date other guys!" Yuna squealed again.
"Oi," Aeris muttered and shook her head.
"Anyway, we got through that problem. Now how the hell do I break up with the guy?" Yuna wondered frantically, starting pacing back and forth across the room.
"Tidus, sorry, I learned how to use a gun I don't need you anymore?" Aeris suggested.
"Aeris, this isn't funny, I don't want to hurt the poor guy. I just...you know, need to clear the relationship," Yuna replied looking up in thought.
"I guess you have only one choice to practice, cause I'm sure as heck not going to pretend to be Tidus for you," Aeris said and opened a drawer as Yuna laughed nervously. "Here," Aeris then placed a Tidus and a Yuna doll on the desk.
"Ooh, how did you get those?" Yuna asked bending down over them.
"Uh...let's not ask questions, ok?" Aeris said laughing nervously. "Ok. Let's say Tidus is here...," Aeris continued and placed Tidus standing up on a corner. "And let's say he's talking to Cloud..." Aeris took a Cloud doll and placed it standing next to Tidus.
Yuna grinned. "Aeris," She said, "Why do you have a Cloud doll?"
"Leave me alone, I'm trying to help you aren't I?" Aeris snapped and placed the Yuna doll on the far side of the desk. "Now let's say you're talking to uh...hmm...all I have is Tifa left," Aeris said and took out a Tifa doll. Except Tifa had her head crushed and dangling on her shoulder, lot's of stab marks of what looked like a pen's doing, and her eye balls had been squeezed out. Yuna stared at the beat up Tifa doll, then gave Aeris a terrorized look. "Ok, let's put Tifa away now shall we? Let's just say she...died. Haha," Aeris said and tossed the Tifa doll over her shoulder.
Yuna backed away a few inches.
"Take these dolls and practice. Everything you're going to do, and most importantly, say," Aeris said seriously.
"Do you have a Vincent doll?" Yuna asked excitedly and peered over Aeris's desk. Aeris pushed her away and glared at her.
"No!...You can't have him," Aeris then quickly took the Cloud doll and put him in the drawer. "You can't have Cloud either. All you need is Tidus and yourself to practice. Now you can leave," Aeris said and pointed to the door.
"Ok. Thanks a lot Aeris," Yuna replied sweetly then she whistled as she took the dolls and walked out of the door. "Uh...I mean," She said and stopped whistling.
Aeris raised an eye brow and sighed. "Well, now that's over with," Aeris said and laughing evilly she took out her Cloud doll again.
--
Yuna took the dolls and ran to her room. "Yunie...uh, what are you doing?" Rinoa asked as she saw Yuna flying down the hall way.
"Nothing. I just, uh, nothing...um, BYE!" Yuna cried and locked herself in her room.
"This spring break vacation is getting everyone weirder and weirder," Rinoa sighed and continued walking. Yuna meanwhile set the dolls down and began to think.
"This is so hard. I'm sure of what I'm going to do but...I don't want to do it. If only I could hire someone to do it for me, like everything else I'm supposed to do and don't do!" Yuna cried helplessly. She took the Tidus doll and started to stroke its head in thought.
"Oh no," She suddenly said. "Here comes the flashbacks!" Yuna yelped and before they could come she chucked the doll away from her and covered her head.
"Hey, hey you!" Someone said. Yuna looked up and yelped again, for she saw a huge cloud. Not Cloud. A cloud.
"Ah! What are you?" Yuna cried and backed away against the wall.
"I'm your flash back. Now let me get in your head, and have you remember all the nice little memories you had with Tidus," Flash Back said and glided a little closer.
"No! No, no, back away!" Yuna cried and swatted it with a plunger. Haha. Plunger.
"It's ok Yuna, I'm not going to hurt you, I'm just a little cloud aren't I? Just let me...," Flash Back said but Yuna shook her head and whacked it again. "Hey! That hurt. I don't get paid enough for this," Flash Back grumbled and flew to the window.
"Yeah, that's right! No 'Tidus' memories will make me change my mind! I've had it. I'm going to break up with him now!" Yuna cried and tossing the plunger aside she marched out of the room.
"Whatever Toots. By the way, do you know where a certain 'Cloud Strife' resides here? Heh...I've got some juicy flash backs for him," Flash Back said.
"Two rooms down...and uh, don't bother me again!" Yuna ordered threateningly. But after Flash Back left she ran into the room whimpering. "Oh gee, I can't do this now...Ugh, besides, I haven't seen Tidus in days...who knows what sort of a state he's in now?" Yuna asked herself and hugged Foofy close to her.
--
Tidus sneezed. "Ugh...this whole fight is getting me sick, too?" Tidus sniffed.
"They say you sneeze when someone says something ill of you," Vincent remarked calmly while reading.
"Hmm...I bet it was Cloud," Tidus replied. Cloud was getting food for them, and since Vincent doesn't do anything all day he kept watch over Tidus. Vincent calmly flipped a page of his book and for a moment peered at Tidus who was laying there staring at the ceiling again. Vincent sighed lightly, and felt bad for him again even though Tidus wasn't really his favorite person in the whole world. Also, he's noticed Tidus hasn't really cried once since the time Yuna dumped all his stuff out. Not once. Which made Vincent wonder...if he was trying really hard not to. You know, to prove something to Yuna or something.
"You...don't have to you know," Vincent suddenly spoke up.
"Huh?" Tidus asked.
"I know you're trying to prove to Yuna that you're...more mature. And you're not crying or making a big deal about this to prove it to her. But have you thought about it? Why are you doing this? Yuna is the last person who actually deserves something at the moment...," Vincent replied.
"Vincent...you're like her best friend. You really feel this way about her?" Tidus asked turning around on his stomach.
"Well...I'm not saying I'm not her friend...but I tried to help her and it's no use. She gets whatever she wants, and here you are still tied to her leash even though she let it go," Vincent replied.
"Huh?" Tidus asked.
Vincent looked sideways rolling his eyes then looked back at Tidus. "You still like her and worship her. Can't you see she's trying to get rid of you?" Vincent asked.
"I don't care. I still love her, she just can't see that," Tidus replied staring back up at the ceiling.
"Well, she sure doesn't love you anymore...I'm just saying it's the truth. Cloud and I really don't want you to be all clingy to this. Can't you just let go? That's all she wants. If you like her still, why don't you do what she wants?" Vincent asked.
"Would you Vincent...let go so easily?" Tidus asked after a moment of silence.
"Depends-," Vincent started shifting his eyes but Tidus cut him off.
"Depends on what? How much you love her? If that's the case then I'm never letting go. I just...I just don't care," Tidus replied.
"Wow...Tidus goes Emo," Cloud noted coming in with some food and junk. Vincent dropped his book and walked out of the room. "What's with him?" Cloud asked chucking a bag of chips at Tidus's head.
"He just doesn't understand anything. We all think Vincent knows everything...but he actually doesn't," Tidus replied ripping open the bag.
"That's weird. I always thought he knew everything too. Oh well," Cloud said turning on the TV. Tidus heard Spanish voices and turned around.
"Cloud...what are you watching?" He asked.
"Shhh! Sophia is going to cheat on Rafael. And she doesn't know whose baby she's pregnant with, she's just guessing it's Angelo's but it's not, everyone knows it's Rafael's but she still wants to stay with Angelo and maybe some other guy," Cloud explained. Tidus inched away and ignored the fact that Cloud is watching soap operas...and that, well, he didn't know Spanish.
--
Yuna walked down the hall way for the fourth time...deciding whether or not to just get it over with. "Ooh, I just can't do this!" She wailed.
Rinoa was walking down the hall way and noticed Yuna. "Yunie, you doing ok? Ever since last time I saw you, you've been acting strange...," Rinoa said.
"Sorry...I'm just flipping out here. I was going to...you know, break up with Tidus," Yuna whispered.
Rinoa dropped her lollipop. "What?" She cried but Yuna put a hand to her mouth.
"You and Aeris are the only ones that know. Now, could you please keep it a secret? Anyway, I don't need help if that's what you're thinking. I just...need to find out the best time," Yuna said and slowly removed her hand from Rinoa's mouth.
"You like Vincent!" Rinoa said immediately. Yuna shrugged one shoulder. "Yunie!" She cried aghast.
"Will you be quiet already? Anyway, I think I'm just going to take a nap and sleep on it. I just know I can't get it over with now," Yuna said and went back to her room. Rinoa shook her head and went to her room to find a note from Squall.
"Oh...pfft, not again," She said after she read it. She sat on their bed, cradling her head in her hands. "I thought it was Spring Break," She continued miserably.
Cloud suddenly knocked on the door and Rinoa opened it. "Hey Rinny, Squall here?" Cloud asked.
"No, sorry. He just left. Another SeeD mission thingy majig whatever," Rinoa sighed.
"During Spring Break?" Cloud asked puzzled.
"Yeah, I know. Oh well, I think Squally's had enough of this vacation anyway...maybe some work will get him back on track, you know? But now I feel so lonely...," Rinoa replied.
"Oh well, in that case since Squall isn't here-," Cloud started and Rinoa glared at him. "Hey, wait 'till I finish! I finally got my ultimate birthday present. I got Advent Children on DVD, and I was going to ask you and Squall to watch. You can still watch it, can't you?" Cloud asked.
"Oh, yeah, sure," Rinoa replied and followed Cloud to his room. They went in there and it seemed that Cloud had rounded up everyone again from Final Fantasy VII. They were all waiting in front of the TV.
"Cloud, I really don't want to watch this," Aeris grumbled sitting near Vincent who also nodded.
"Hey, c'mon guys! I've been waiting for this to come out for like ever," Cloud replied.
"But my role in this movie stinks," Aeris snapped. "You don't even see all of my face half the time."
"I have the worst lines...," Vincent sighed and pretty soon everyone started grumbling about their roles in the movie.
"Hey guys, chill, chill! I know all your roles stunk...but, hey, look on the bright side. Mine didn't, hehe," Cloud said with a smirk and everyone groaned.
"Oh yeah, that makes us all feel so much better," Tifa snapped. Cloud had already put the DVD in, but he didn't press play.
"Hey Cloud, what's the hold up 'FOO?" Barret barked.
"Yeah, I wanna see it!" Yuffie cried.
"Hold on! I'm waiting for some people!" Cloud snapped.
Suddenly the door opened, and lo and behold, Kadaj, Yazoo, and Loz come in. "Cloud!" Loz greets and Cloud gets up laughing.
"Guys!" Cloud cried.
"Yo, it's our Brother from another Mother man!" Kadaj greets and he and Cloud pound fists. Tifa nudged Aeris.
"Ooh Aeris, look it's Kadaj!" Tifa whispered and laughed.
"Shut up Tifa," Aeris replied turning red. Sephiroth glared at Kadaj as he winked at Aeris and sat down with the others to watch.
"Finally, alright, let's get this show on the road," Cloud says and presses play. Aeris could barely watch the movie, she kept thinking about Kadaj (Don't we all).
Those brilliant green eyes! That shiny, irresistable silver hair..., Aeris thought. Sephiroth then gets up and is about to leave.
"Sephiroth! Don't go walking out in the middle of the movie!" Cloud cries.
"I already know what happens. And, why would I wanna watch a movie in which I finally come back to life, and I only last five minutes?" Sephiroth asks. Everyone hesitates at first then they start laughing and rolling around. Sephiroth growls and walks out.
"Hey, that wasn't nice!" Aeris scolds but everyone keeps laughing, then Cloud resumes the movie. Aeris stands up to go check if Sephiroth is ok.
"What are you doing?" Tifa hisses.
"I'm his therapist. I have to make sure he's alright," Aeris tells her. But as she walks someone takes her hand and Aeris stops, looking down at Kadaj.
"Hey, don't go. Let him be, he'll be fine," Kadaj says.
Aeris turns red, stammering, "Ok," and sits next to him. After the movie Kadaj and Aeris were walking outside and talking.
"I missed you, you know, after the movie was done," Kadaj says and smiles at Aeris.
"Oh...," Aeris replies and tugs on a strand of hair nervously.
"Here, I even got you this," Kadaj says and hands her a little wooden box. Aeris opened it and took out a pink Materia ball...orb...sphere...thing...Materia, ok?
"Wow, it's so pretty and shiny...and pink," Aeris says. Kinda like her pen.
"Isn't it? I thought of you when I found it. Just be sure not to, you know, have it with you when Yuffie is around," Kadaj grins and laughs.
"Oh, haha, yeah," Aeris smiles and puts it away.
"I smell materia!" Yuffie cries and breaks through the window. Everyone stares out the broken window and shrugs. Yuffie runs until she finds Aeris and Kadaj. Then she tackles Aeris.
"Ah!" Aeris cries.
"Give me it!" Yuffie demands, smacking Aeris's head into the dirt multiple times until she went unconscious.
"Hey, stop that!" Kadaj cries and smacks Yuffie on the head with...hmm...a plunger.
"Ow! Not a plunger!" Yuffies wails and bites Kadaj's arm.
"Ow!" He yelped and tried to shake her off but she was like a miniature dog holding on to his arm. Suddenly something black swoops out of nowhere and butts Yuffie in the head with his blade, then picks up Aeris. Kadaj rubs his arm and looks up at Sephiroth.
"Hey! Put Aeris down!" Kadaj growls.
"Why should I?" Sephiroth sneers, but Aeris wakes up in a daze and looks around.
"What happened?" She asks rubbing her head.
"Aeris-," Sephiroth starts but Kadaj cuts him off.
"Aeris Honey, you fell unconscious thanks to Yuffie. But it's ok I saved you," Kadaj declares proudly.
"Hey!" Sephiroth growls but Kadaj takes Aeris from his arms and scowls at Sephiroth.
"You should go now. I can take care of Aeris myself, you know," Kadaj says.
"Huh?" Aeris says faintly and looks at Sephiroth, but then out of nowhere Kadaj gives her a kiss and her eyes grow wide and she turns red.
Sephiroth then looks at her, then at Kadaj, then looks down. "I see how it is," He says and sulks off.
"Sephiroth, wait!" Aeris cries but Kadaj shakes his head shushing her.
"It's ok Aeris. You won't have to see that maniac anymore," He says.
"Hey, let go of me! He's not some maniac!" Aeris says and jumps off, then stands in front of Kadaj angrily.
"Of course he is. What are you trying to say? Do you actually like that old geezer?" Kadaj asks.
"What? He's not old! Well...at least I don't think so! He's a very sweet person, he's just very lonely inside and all he needs is someone to care for him a little more then anyone else so he can blossom into a beautiful healthy flower," Aeris says therapist like.
"What is it with you and flowers?" Kadaj asks and Aeris frowns.
"I like flowers! And I like Sephiroth! If you have a problem with that, then you can just-," Aeris says crossing her arms but Kadaj gives her a terrorized look.
"Oh-oh GOD!" He gasps and falls down looking up at Aeris all scared like. "You really do like him!"
"Like I said, so what if I do? At least he isn't a jerk like you. Didn't I tell you back at the set of Advent Children that it was just a fling? I'm not going to officially date you Kadaj! How many times do I have to tell you that? Thanks for the Materia and everything but...I think your brothers are waiting for you," Aeris huffed and walks away.
Yikes! Poor Kadaj. Wait, poor Sephy. Poor...poor Tidus! We forgot about him. I guess we'll have to wait to see what happens to him. Next time!
