I know I said I'd have it up by Friday but I realized that I was ahead of schedule so I will post every Tuesday and Friday. And I think some jealous Cloud lovers will like this chapter.

A huge thanks to ms. Cloud Strife, cookies18, BloodTrinity, the-ice-cold-alchemist, and muffcakeloverxiii for reviewing! It really means a lot to me!

Sephy the Kitty- 3) Jealous Cloud

Does nobody else see the evil in this cat? Cloud didn't know why anybody else couldn't see it. They saw what Sephy did to him! They saw his scratched legs and arms! Yet every time the little kitten walked into the room, everybody would 'aww' and comment on how cute his little slanted, evil eyes were. Cloud didn't see it. He just saw evil every time he saw that cat.

He even refused to call him 'Sephy'. It was too much like 'Sephiroth' and Cloud could see the comparisons to the two devils. So he just says 'that thing' or 'the damn cat'. Tifa didn't appreciate it though, because every time he would say it, she would shot him an angry look. When that look didn't work, she would give him a sad look and he could feel his heart clench. How the hell did she know how to do that?

And Zack and Sephy were not getting along well at all. Sometimes Zack is absolutely terrified of the demonic thing. But sometimes he would try to chase Sephy, but the kitten would just give it some kind of evil smirk and his eyes would slant so much that he would almost close his eyes. At that time, Zack would run away and would shelter behind Cloud's legs.

But now Cloud was trying to enjoy a peaceful moment to himself. Bed time. Tifa wasn't with him because she had started up a book club in the bar on Friday nights. So he could sometimes hear their laughter and he would feel the urge to groan loudly. He wondered what women did at book clubs anyway, just talk about books? That would be boring. But Cloud knew that they drank because when he would go downstairs Tifa would be putting away empty wine bottles. Tifa even tried to rook him to join but Cloud vehemently refused.

He didn't notice when the door creaked open slowly, and stealthy silver kitten coming in the room with an evil smile on his face. Cloud hated cats even more since he got the little demon; Sephy got into the habit of waking him up in a very unpleasant way. And ever since they moved the dogs into the living room, they weren't able to warn Cloud of what would happen next.

Sephy crawled underneath the blanket, and the oblivious Cloud just stayed there. The next thing Cloud knew, his legs were being used as a scratching post.

"Oww! Damn it!" Cloud swore and swung out of the bed. Sephy was just sitting on the blankets, looking evil and claws extended.

"That's it! You're going in your crate!"

Even though Tifa loved Sephy, she knew that little kittens could get out of hand sometimes and they bought a crate for the growing cat. They put him in there when he was being especially evil or when Cloud was too terrified of the little thing to concentrate on his work. But the thing was that the crate was down in the bar. And Cloud forgot a little fact as he stormed down the stairs in his pink fuzzy boxers that Tifa bought him as a joke (but he learned were very comfortable) with a silver furball under his arm. All that was seen of Sephy was his little face and his mouth open, as if he was enjoying himself.

When Cloud reached the bar, he finally remembered that Tifa had a book club meeting with strangers that he's never met before. And like a car crash, all heads turned in his direction. Women of all ages were there and a large smile came to their faces. Some of them even blushed with a pleased expression.

"Uh… Hi?"

Tifa looked absolutely embarrassed, her cheeks heating up and eyes wide as some of the girls laughed. Cloud wasn't really insecure about his body, when they were at the beach he had all of the girls' eyes on him with a thirsty expression. And he tried not to look pleased about it in front of Tifa, but the fact that he was in his boxers and they were pink made him a little uncomfortable. He didn't like embarrassing his fiancée so he felt some sort of shame from it and his cheeks began to redden.

Yuffie was also there, looking bored a second before Cloud came in, now whistled. He wondered why the ninja would be there since she declared more than once that she hated books before throwing them at the wall.

"Way to go, Spike! You made this not boring any more!"

Tifa stood up, trying to regain her dignity and walked quickly over to Cloud and turned him around to push him out of the bar. But something next to Tifa's chair caught the corner of his eye. It was a guy! What the hell was he doing here? He whipped his head around to get a better look at him and noticed that he had biceps smaller that Barrett's but drool worthy to women and chestnut color hair with piercing grey eyes. Why was a good looking man at Tifa's book club? And was he smirking?

"Who's that!" Cloud said before being pushed rougher out of the bar.

"Just stay upstairs!" Somehow Tifa managed to push him back into their room and was gone in the next instant. Cloud just stood there, shocked. He looked down and saw that he was still holding Sephy, and Sephy looked up at him.

"You planned this, didn't you?"

Cloud could've sworn he saw the demonic cat nod.

He threw the cat out of the room and shut the door. He didn't know why Tifa was so upset with him, all he wanted to do was protect her. Maybe he was being a little possessive, but it was because she never told him that a hunky guy sits next to her at her book club. Who knows what goes down at those types of things? What did they even do? He asked himself again. An image of the man leaning in his fiancées ear and whispering what he wanted to do with her was enough to make him go mad. How dare she cheat on him like that!

He realized that he was coming to conclusions really fast. Tifa would never cheat on him. And the man might be there for really innocent reasons, like maybe his wife dragged him there. That was a good explanation; maybe the wife threatened no sexual activities until he went. Feeling better Cloud slipped under the blankets and tried to fall asleep.

A little while later when Tifa's book club finished, she walked into the room, trying to be as quiet as possible. Of course he heard her enter, he couldn't fall asleep because he thought of more troubling thoughts and he couldn't shake them. He heard her begin to remove her work clothes and he was tempted to help her. Not now, Damn it! This was serious!

"Who was that man?" Cloud asked from underneath the blankets.

"Sorry, I didn't mean to wake you," She avoided his question, she sounded amused. And he heard drawers open, taking out her sleepwear

"I was up. Now answer my question."

"Do I detect jealousy coming from you, Cloud?" She asked and he could hear the smile in her voice. She heard him mumble a 'no' very softly and her smile widened, he was too cute for his own good. Of course he'd be jealous, Tifa knew one of his greatest fears was that she would leave him. But she decided to tease him. "Well I don't blame you. He's good-looking, isn't he?"

Cloud just made a 'hmph' noise, trying to show his irritation with the subject.

"He's smart, too."

Hmph.

"And very strong."

Hmph!

"He helped me put away some boxes for the morning. So you don't have to get up early on your day off."

HMPH!

Tifa smiled, enjoying his pain. "Well good night, Cloud." She said as she climbed into their bed so that they were face-to-face. Cloud just looked traumatized. She smiled larger as she snuggled into him and was even happier when she felt his arms go around her like he wouldn't let go.

Cloud woke up before Tifa and found that she was now on top of him. He smiled and kissed the top of her head before he remembered the previous night. He slid her off him and watched as she snuggled up with the pillow.

So, she didn't admit to anything, and he knew she wouldn't cheat on him, but he didn't like the fact that a man was flirting with her when she was supposed to be reading. And the man was good looking too, so he could get anyone he wanted. What if he wanted Tifa? Who wouldn't want Tifa? The thought drove him crazy.

He found himself in the kitchen and making coffee and watched as Zack entered the room with a sleepy expression on his face. It was too damn early! But he didn't want to be home when Tifa told him she was leaving him for that guy. So his schedule was: Drink coffee, shower, go on far away deliveries, and come back when Tifa was already asleep. Then she wouldn't have any time to break up with him.

Zack some how knew something was wrong with his best friend because he began to whine like he knew he was about to leave.

Clouds plans shattered when he heard Tifas footsteps coming. He immediately sat at the table and pretended to be busy with the receipts that were already on the table. Tifa entered the kitchen and smiled at him. "Good morning, Cloud." Zack whined from next to Cloud and Tifa smiled. "Good morning, Zack." She pat his head.

"'Morning." As she walked by him she ran her fingers through his unruly hair, a gesture she always liked to do. She grabbed a mug from the cupboard and poured herself a cup.

"Yuffie came into town yesterday." Tifa started.

"I remember." He mumbled.

"She's going to help me look for a wedding dress today." Tifa watched his reaction and noticed he seemed confused.

"O-oh."

"It's been a year, you know." She looked down at the pretty engagement ring he got her and smiled thinking of how he must had had trouble choosing the ring. She looked back up at Cloud and saw that he was actually blushing.

"Yeah, I know." He became quiet after that and she knew that he was upset about something.

"Don't tell me you're still upset about last night."

He quickly became flustered. "I-I'm not!"

She raised one of her brows. "Really?" She walked up to him so she was peering over his shoulder. "Your receipts are upside down." Another common symptom to Cloud being flustered.

He whipped around to look at her, and there was hurt in his eyes. "I'm sorry I can't be as perfect as that guy!" He exploded. Tifa knew he was really jealous, and smiled endearingly. "Why are you smiling? Are you going to tell me you're leaving me for him?

"Cloud-"Tifa was still smiling.

"No, if you're telling me that then I'll have to force you to stay with me!" Clouds worst fear was that he would be alone. Tifa knew that Cloud suffered with people leaving him, like his parents, Zack (the human), Sephiroth, and Aerith (also the human).

Her smile disappeared. "Cloud-"

"I don't want to be alone!"

Zack's head was moving back and forth like he was watching a tennis match.

"Cloud!"

"What?"

"He's gay."

The expression that crossed his face was priceless. "What?"

"The man at the book club that you think I'll leave you for is gay." She explained and watched clarity reach his features.

"Oh." He said with some trouble.

Tifa began to laugh and she leaned in to kiss his very red cheek. "There's no need to be jealous, I'd never leave you for another man." She practically bounced to get ready.

Cloud immediately went up to chase her and caught her before she reached the bedroom and began to kiss her more seriously. Her hands rested on his chest as he picked her up.

A scratching noise made Tifa push away from him and look at the source. It was Sephy scratching the expensive couch. She ran to him and picked him up mid scratch. "Sephy! No! Bad kitty!" Tifa ran down the steps to the bar to put the cat in his crate.

Cloud sighed and saw that Aerith was looking at him from her doggie bed. She knew it too.

Tifa left him for a cat.

Ahh I think everyone loves a jealous Cloud, if you review I might reward all of you again ;D

REVIEWWW! Pwease? :3
