"SEPHIROTH!!!!" Cydney's screams echoed off the rock. Cydney heard the sound of metal against scales. She felt the thuds of the large dragon like fiends and heard the frightening roars and death screams of the creatures. Cydney stayed the way she was, crouching low to the ground with her head in her knees and her hands covering her ears in attempt to drown out the sounds of the dieing creatures, throughout the fight. She was truly frightened.

The sounds died down to a stop. Cydney still didn't look up, still trembling with fear. She had never been this afraid. Not even when she heard the sounds of foot steps approach her did she look she look up.


Sephiroth watched her trembling on the ground. He knew she had every right to be frightened but he was still surprised. Not only by the fact that such a strong and courageous her moment of panic. Sephiroth smirked a little at this. He was standing right in front of the girl but she didn't make a move other than her continued trembling. He crouched down on one knee.

"Hey." He said in his usual monotone voice, quietly. The girl didn't jump like he though she would. She instead raise her head slowly to look up at him, her hands lowering slowly from her ears. Her cheeks were stained with tears, eyes red and puffy. She truly was scared. Sephiroth felt a tug on his heart. He frowned for a moment and looked away, wondering what it was that made such a thing happen. He found out quickly.


Cydney looked up at Sephiroth through teary eyes. He was covered in blood that was not his own. The ends of his sliver hair tainted with the crimson blood. His perfect pale skin of his cheeks smeared with it. His black leather clothes spotted with the blood of the creature he'd slain with his now bloodied sword. Yet his crystal green eyes were completely untainted. Sephiroth's smirk turned to a frown as he watched her and he turned his head away. Cydney panicked, thinking he would leave. She couldn't help herself.

She hugged him.

Sephiroth's eyes widened as she buried her face into his chest. He was warm and comfortable. Cydney broke down. Her body shook with heavy sobs as she cried into Sephiroth's chest. She felt protected and safe as he wrapped his arms slowly around her quivering body, as if she would break at any moment. Cydney felt as though she would break the moment she let go of Sephiroth.

After a few more minutes of staying in that possition Cydney had finished her crying, unable to cry any longer. She still didn't want to let go of Sephiroth. Sephiroth was being extremely patiant with her. Saying nothing but not pushing her away.

"Can you stand?" Sephiroth asked his voice calm and soft. Cydney nodded, knowing her voice would be horse from her crying. Before she could pull away Sephiroth stood, taking her into his arms. She let out a small, surprised, squeak and wrapped her arms around Sephiroth's neck out of reflex. After a moment Cydney realised that she had wrapped her arms around the deadly but sexy Sephiroth. She pulled back suddenly and looked up at Sephiroth's expression. Sephiroth was looking at her, one slender eyebrow raised and slight smirk on his face. Cydney's cheeks turned bright red. She turned to look at where they were going, now that Sephiroth had started walking.

"Where are we going?" She asked, anything to distract from the piercing green eyes she felt on her face.

"We're going to the center of the crater, where the Mako energy is the strongest." Cydney looked up at Sephiroth, who was still watching her with a steady gaze. Though his eyebrow was no longer raised, he still wore his smug smirk. Cydney knitted her eyebrows, though she was still blushing.

"Why do we need to go to where there is the most Mako energy?" She asked, her voice strained from her crying. Sephiroth's smirk grew larger.

"To make sure no one else but me can have you." He said, studding her reaction. She showed only confustion at first but her expressions quickly changed as she caught on to what he meant. Her eyes widened.

Wait! What?!


Heh heh. I know I've been making a lot of cliffhangers. If you want the next one to be a non-cliffy, tell me! ^^ Also, if you want these longer tell me. However, this will also mean that I won't be able to get them out as often. Just so you know.^.^ If you're willing to wait I would be happy to work on it.

Thank you for reading. Please Review.

Thanks again, Zaikai and Rambonata.

Ja ne.
