Chapter Seven

Halloween in Midgar
Part Four

The cry of the name of AVALANCHE's old foe gave them a chill and a sense of dread to everyone except for Kagome, Souta, Hitomi, and Shippó.

The four knew whom it was the people were running away from. It was kinda ironic to them at how similar this was compared to Sesshoumaru's time as a lord in the Sengoku Jidai.

"Sephiroth?! That's crazy! He's supposed to be dead! Wasn't he supposed to be dead?!" Yuffie yelled with Cid cursing up a storm. And it was true. Sephiroth was supposed to be dead, especially after Kadaj's defeat by Cloud.

The said ex-SOLDIER then just burst into action to search for the one who caused the commotion, not listening to Vincent's double yelling at him to wait.

Kagome huffed. Once she was sure that Rude was going to be fine, Kagome left to follow Cloud before he found Sesshoumaru and getting himself hurt. Shippó followed after her, telling Sota and Hitomi to stay behind. Vincent soon followed after Reno's double with the others following behind (well, everyone except Souta and Hitomi as well as Denzel and Marlene.

Once Rude had gotten his wits together he followed soon after.

With Kagome, when she had made it to where Cloud confront Sesshoumaru… she couldn't help but grimace when she heard her brother say with a voice as deadly as his poisonous acid, "Foolish boy, Tenseiga will be enough to put down an imbecile like yourself." Tenseiga drawn in his right hand as he said this.

Kagome knew that this was going to turn out bad from the Blond spiky haired guy's part. Tenseiga may be a sword that can't kill the living but that didn't mean that it didn't hurt you when it's sliced through your flesh.

Cloud didn't know how it was possible for Sephiroth to come back, even after he had defeated Kadaj but he was going to send the silver-haired soldier back to where he belonged. But faster than Cloud could see, 'Sephiroth' had suddenly disappeared then reappeared right in front of him with his sword raised high. That last thing he had heard was a female voice yell, "Aniki! Don't!"

When AVALANCHE saw 'Sephiroth' cut down Cloud, they couldn't believe their own eyes. Right when Yuffie tried to jump into battle, Vincent's double jumped in-between her and 'Sephiroth' saying, "No! He'll do the same to you too."

"Get out of the way! He killed Cloud!" Yuffie was about ready tear through her, same with Tifa and the others until they noticed Cloud stirring a bit and heard 'Sephiroth' speak, "Get up, human. You're fine."

The ex-SOLDIER got up almost as if in a daze before checking his body for any kind of injuries or even a mark that came from the sword. But in the end he found none and stared at 'Sephiroth' with distrust plain in his face while getting up and silently asking, "why am I not dead?"

Almost in an exaggerating way, Sesshoumaru answered to him, "Ahou. Tenseiga is a sword that cannot kill."

"Bastard…" Cloud muttered.

Having about enough of the overload of testosterones, Kagome yelled out, "Oi!! Will everybody calm down for a while and just hear us out?!" Everyone then turned to her before she continued, "This is all just a mistake. This isn't Sephiroth. This is my brother, Sesshoumaru. What he has on is just a costume his nephew made."

The moment everyone gave Kagome a certain look, she turned to Shippó who was now standing next Sesshoumaru, saying, "Shippó! Tell them!"

The redhead smiled sheepishly as Sesshoumaru sheathed his Tenseiga, saying, "Yeah, it's true. What my uncle is wearing is just a costume I made. And plus, you should also remember that Sephiroth's eyes are a blue color with tints of green and his bags reach to his chest. My uncle here… has golden eyes and his bangs only stop at his brows."

Everyone took a double check and soon realized that Reno's double who called himself Shippó was right…

Sorry that this was short but I wanted to update this story for Halloween. Not much happened for an encounter between Cloud and Sesshoumaru but… what can I say? I tried my best.

Anyways, hope you enjoyed this all the same… Suggestions and ideas for the story are welcome, I won't accept flames, and lastly I hope you guys have a Happy Halloween
