I'm sorry! I know it's been so long since I've updated but I had no ideas! . I hope this works though. This is my last chapter for my story. I repeat: THIS IS THE LAST CHAPTER OF FINAL FANTASY BABYSITTER! I will make a prequel, as I have said, but it will not be out right away. I may or may not make an epilogue, I'm still debating it. But this is the last real chapter. It ends here. ^.^

Cydney let out a small sigh as she drummed her fingers on her lap. She was sitting, alone, in the same field Sephiroth had landed earlier. Sephiroth had left an hour or so ago, saying that there were some things that needed to be finished before it happened. He still hadn't told her what it was, which annoyed her. Despite getting her memories back, she had no idea what he was planning.
She rested her elbow against her knee and leaned her cheek into her open palm. She sighed and continued to stare off in the direction he'd left. She let out a small groan, bored and grumpy. She shifted a little, her foot starting to fall asleep under her. She looked up at the sky, the moon bright and the clear dark sky twinkling with stars. She let out another sigh, this time content, as a cool breeze tousled her hair gently and cooled her body. Cydney closed her eyes and felt the breeze blow pass her. She leaned closer into the palm of her hand. She smiled softly. Out of all the places for Sephiroth to leave her, this was one of the best. It was nice and peaceful, the crickets chirping softly and the grass under her making a soft ruffling sound at the slightest breeze. She opened her eyes, again admiring the stars.
"Hm?" She frowned and looked to her right, a flash of silver catching her eyes. Her back straighted, her eyes hopeful, thinking it was Sephiroth. Her eyes widened when she realized what it was, but she was too late.
Sephiroth flew back in the direction of the open field he'd left his girl, a small multicolored materia in his palms. He'd just taken it back from the spot he'd hidden it, having stolen it from Shinra earlier. He'd stashed it to keep it out of the hands of Rufus-sure the blonde man would try to reclaim it-while he went to go retrieve his girl. He had drop her in the Mako see to be able to take her with him when he searched for a new vessel, but he hadn't expected Rufus to be there. In all honesty, he expected the arrogant man to attack him far earlier, hope for it. But that wasn't so. Though his wounds had healed quickly, he was still annoyed with the fact that he'd let the kid shoot him. He let out an annoyed growl at the memory before shaking it off. He looked down at the ground instead, watching the grassy field pass under him.
He was getting closer to her.
Sephiroth smiled internally as an image of her smiling face flashed through his mind. If it wasn't her, if he hadn't met her when he did, he might not have been able to do what he was. Might not have even spared her life when she begged for it. He guessed, in a way, they had both been lucky that they'd met each other when they did.
Suddenly, Sephiroth was pulled out of his thoughts as his strong sense of smell caught something strange in the air. Something he'd smelled a number of times, but was never as unnerved as he was now.
Blood.
Sephiroth's speed increased, a strange and sickening feeling in the pit of his stomach. He spotted Cydney a few hundred feet in front of him and was on her in a blink. The soft ground gave a little under his feet as he skidded to a halt in front of her, leaving a grove in the ground behind him. He knelt on one kneel in front of her. Cydney was laying on the ground, her head turned away from him. He quickly moved to shake her shoulder, hoping she was only sleeping, but his eyes caught on the red pool under her head. Sephiroth hesitated in touching her, his expression startled. Slowly, he reached up and touched her cheek with a single gloved hand and guided her head towards him, his movements slow and gentle. When she faced him, he stilled completely. Her eyes were froze open in a shocked and wide stare, though there was no light to it. Her lips were blue and her face was pale. A vibrant red dripped down her cheek from a deep bullet wound, a stark contrast to the paleness of her skin.
Cydney. . . was dead.
Sephiroth's head fell forward, his sliver bangs hiding his eyes. He reached down and closed her eyes before lifted her limp body into his arms gently, holding her close to him. Her body was cold against his exposed chest. Sephiroth closed his eyes and let his head fall back, bright tears flowing swiftly down his pale cheeks. His tears seemed silver in the light of the moon as they dripped onto her body. He gave her arm a squeeze as he leaned down to nuzzle against her cheek.
"You left me again. You said you'd never leave me. But twice, you've left me." He whispered to her, a moment of weakness only she had ever been able to see. She wouldn't be able to see those moments any more. She wouldn't be able to love him any more. She wouldn't be able to join him, be by his side, anymore. She was gone. He kissed her softly, sadly. Her lips didn't respond to his. Not this time. Never again.
Sephiroth looked up again, in the direction he was sure the shooter had been. His eyes were growing bright with anger, hot tears still streaming down his cheeks. His keen eyes caught sight of a figure running away from him, now a good thousand yards or so.
"You'd better run. You are never going to live this down." He declared softly, angrily. However, instead of pursuing him, he walked in the opposite direction. First, he would give Cydney a proper burial.
Then, he would go after the man that had taken her away,
Who had taken his love from him,
And he would make him suffer.
Yes! This is it and I'm ending it here! And yes, I am very evil! *Evil laugh* My brother gave me the idea, actually, but it was as a joke. :P I wanted to finally finish this, which is what I have been planning to do for a long time and have finally gotten around to. Thanks all of you who have reviewed me and favorited me and all of you who have taken the time to read my story. I thank you all. I'll continue to work on my other stories and I will work on my epilogue, but it will not be out right away as I have said.
Thanks again, all of you.
Ja ne,
Shezu
