Chapter 2

The now proud soldier first class walked down the shinra hallway after being told wear she would find this cloud guy. She found it strange that being that their wear only a few first class soldiers and supposedly clouds one but she's never even heard of him! She just thought to herself "agh he's probably a no name soldier who got there by either money or knowing a guy in a high place." She reached the door he was supposedly on the other side of so she walked in to see a man around her age about 5ft 7in blond spiky hair and glowing blue eyes the soldier trade mark. "Um hello Cloud." He nodded his head back and said hello and offered her a seat in the office type room they wear in. after about a hours explaining the new perks and the new responsibility's she would receive now being first class Cloud began to wrap it up. "So Miss Farron." "No call me lightning." Light said interrupting. "Ok Lightning do you understand everything?" she thought for a minute as she ran the thoughts through her head just to make sure she did before answering. "Um yeah I think so." Cloud nodded his head and then he looked as if he wanted to say something but was having a hard time actually saying it. "Um agh um lightning are you busy Saturday night?" "No why?" the pink hair soldier then put her elbow on the desk and rested her head on it. "Um I was thinking maybe we could get to gether and talk. You know about this stuff to make sure you got it all." The female soldier let out a small grin on her face as she said. "Is that your way of asking me out on a date?" "AGH UM NNNNNN NO um just friends getting together." still grinning she thought riiiiiiiiiiight. "Sure cloud wear do you want to go?" cloud shrugged his shoulders and told her weaver she wanted. "Well how about that bar 7th heaven?" "N0OOOO WE CANT GO THERE!" being confused she asked why and cloud being hesitant to answer was just making her more curious. "Um that's where I live." Lightning had a grin on her face as she thought that she would haft to come check it out sometime and cloud was thinking shit. For he knew how this girl liked to think and he knew it probably wouldn't be good for him. They then picked a time to meat and a place and cloud got up and headed for the door but right before he exited he stopped and put his hand on the wall. This caught lights attention so she asked what was wrong. "Um I'm sorry." "For what?" "For running into you six years ago and calling you a bitch." The girl sat there in confusion as she thought back to six years ago until she remembered running into a boy the day that zack died. "That was you? Well I guess I'm sorry for calling you an asswhole."He nodded his head and left the office. She gathered a few papers that she wrote notes on and left as well and for the first time in a while she had something to look forward to Saturday night. She went home and called her sister up and told her about her promotion and about Saturday. Light loved her sister very much but having to move around a lot for her job and Serah living all the way over in Cacoon and her in midgar they didn't see each other a whole lot. The next few days went by rather slowly until Saturday came. Even though she wouldn't admit to it she was very excited and felt like a little school girl for when she saw cloud walking down the hallway she felt a warm feeling inside of her. Light went home after work and changed into a pair of tight jeans with a low cut white tee shirt. After getting dressed she hoped on her motorcycle and headed for the restaurant. The place they picked was just a small no name bar that they both enjoy going to once in a while. One thing light already learned and licked about cloud was the fact that he didn't like to drink a whole lot just a little here and there but who doesn't right. When she walked in the bar was about half full but she quickly found her date in the far back right corner. She walked up and said hi and sat down. For about an hour they talked and had dinner with a few drinks but not enough to get either one of them buzzed at all. As they wear waiting for the bill lightning began to make chit chat with Cloud.

"So cloud real long week huh with all those battles."

"Not really I don't actually get put on a lot of missions."

"Oh why is that?"

The once again curious soldier rested her head in her hand while looking at cloud.

"Because I told them ill battle if I haft to."

"Why don't you like to battle matter of fact I haven't even see you carrying your sword."

"Because if I battle I haft to use my sword and I don't like using my sword because use brings about wear, tear, and rust and that's a real waste."

The words he just said brought back the memories of her old mentor zack.

"Hm it's funny you say that my old mentor said that exact same thing before he died."

Cloud nodded his head and said mine to. Lightning was confused and didn't know what to think as she heard him say that but at that moment the waiter came with the bill snapping her out of her thoughts. She went to reach for it for she could pay her half but Cloud grabbed it and walked to the counter and paid. The two then walked outside into the cool night.

"Um thanks for dinner cloud."

"No problem hope you enjoyed yourself."

"Actually yeah I did."

They said good bye and then headed for their own bikes. When walking light passed a woman with a cart selling flowers so she decided to buy a couple. When buying them she really liked the cart so she asked the women wear she bought it.

"Um my old boyfriend made it before he died. It took him forever to because he worked for soldier so he didn't have a lot of time to work on it."

"OH I work for soldier what was him name I might have heard of him."

"Zack Fair." The pink haired soldier's mouth dropped at hearing that.

"What zack was my mentor. Then that means your Aries that girl he talked about all the time!"

The flower lady also seemed surprised but then again who wouldn't

"Then you must be lightning he talked about you a lot as well."

"aries zack said he had another friend who he meat hear in midgar do you know who that is?"

"Yes but he asked me not to tell you if we ever meat so I can't tell you I'm sorry."

Lightning said that she understood. The girls then exchanged numbers and went their own ways knowing that they would see each other again sometime soon. The next few days came and went fairly fast especially being today everyone only got a half day due to lack of things to do. Lightning was roaming around until she came across the bar 7th haven. She remembered that's wear Cloud lived so she decided to go have a look. It was around 11:30 and the bar was closing down and there was no one inside. She walked in to be greeted by a young woman around the age of 21 who had long black hair.

"Hello is there something I can get for you?" she asked.

"Um I'm here to visit Cloud."

The women looked quite shocked at my response.

"You know Cloud? Well I'm Tifa nice to meet you. Clouds upstairs for a sec he will be down in a sec."

"Thanks Tifa im Lightning."

The two shook hands and sat down to talk for a minute until Cloud came down. After a few minutes lightning heard her name being said by a familiar voice as she turned around to see Cloud standing at the end of the stair way.

"What are you doing here light?"

"I just thought I would drop bye and say hi."

The blond soldier let out a small chuckle and walked over and sat at the table beside light. They all began to talk and have a few drinks until they realized that it was past 2 in the morning.

"Um are you ok light? You look a little drunk." Tifa asked.

"Um I'm just tired and yeah a little drunk."

It was obvious that she was slightly drunk to the other two. Not drunk enough to not walk in a straight line, stand, or remember what happened the next day. She was more at the state wear you don't want to drive.

"Hey lightning being it's so late and everything why don't you stay here with us?" Tifa asked.

"Um ok sure but is there anywhere for me to sleep?"

"Yeah you can sleep with cloud."

Cloud let out a small cough at hearing this. Light found that kind of funny so she decided to add to Clouds nervousness by agreeing. A few minutes later they all went to head up stairs. Tifa motioned for cloud to come over for they could talk out of lights hearing range.

"Well Cloud have fun up there but remember no hickeys."

Cloud obviously was not amused by her comment.

"Oh and no special noises we have kids in the house. (cloud still not happy) Ok fine but don't wake them up and try not to break her hip like you did mine."

Cloud just sighed and walked away. He did however find that last part funny for they aren't together now but they used to be. They also lost their virginity to each other a long time ago. Now they have screwed around a little here and there but not consistently. The two soldiers then headed up the stairs and into clouds room. When they walked in lights eyes wear immediately caught to the corner of the room which had a huge metal box in it.

"What's in the box Cloud?"

"my sword."

The pinknet was shocked that his sword was big enough to fill that for the only other person she ever saw use a sword that big was zack.

"What do you have a zanbouto?" (authors note a zanbouto was a huge Japanese sword made to cut through a man and hoarse in one blow and that is what the buster sword was based off of ) Cloud let out a small grin as he looked at the box which held his most sacred possession.

"Well you could say it's something like it."

The two then walked over and laid down in the bed together. Cloud had a small bed for two people so right now they wear very close to each other as they looked into each other's eyes. Both looked as if they wanted to say something but couldn't that is until cloud spoke up.

"Um you look very beautiful tonight"

"Thank you and you look very handsome yourself."

Cloud took the next move and put his fingers in her hair and began to lean in for a kiss. Lightning returned the movement until their lips touched. Clouds tong pushed forward asking permission to enter and lightning easily obliged. They went back and forth for a few moments until they needed to break for air. Cloud leaned forward and started kissing her neck and slowly went up and down until he went down to her shirt line and looked up at her silently asking permission. She nodded giving him a yes. He then took her shirt off and she took off his. Light brought cloud up for another heated kiss that lasted longer than the first. Cloud now reached behind her and undid her bra leaving her naked from the waist up. Cloud once again started to kiss her from the neck down reaching up and cupping her left tit with his hand as he put the other in his mouth and began to suck. After switching back and forth a few times he began to run a trail of kisses down her stomach. Cloud then undid her pants and began to pull down but….

RIIIIIIIIING!

Fuck was the only word going through either of their heads right now for the person who called was the president and being first class they couldn't just ignore it. Cloud then got up and answered his cell phone and talked a few minutes with the president and then hung up.

"Light, he says he wants us to go on a mission together immediately. The mission is they found out wear a man is and they want us to go and kill him. The man they want us to kill is Sephiroth!"

the pink haired soldier let out a gasp of surprise then a sad look came over her face.

"Sephiroth is the man who killed my mentor."

"I'm sorry to hear that but he also killed my own mentor and my menotor was the one to give me my sword."

Cloud then went over to the metal box and opened it but what he pulled out was not at all what she expected. What he pulled out was a sword she had not seen in 6 years since the day zack died. It was none other than the buster sword!

"WHAT THE FUCK ZACK WAS YOU'RE MENTOR TO! IF YOU HAVE THAT SWORD THEN YOU MUST BE THE BOY HE MEAT IN MIDGAR! HOLY SHIT!"

Cloud put the sword on his back and looked into her eyes.

"Yes zack was my mentor and you wear the girl from cacoon Clair farron but switched your name to lightning. You also wear the one to watch neiblheim burn down."

Lightning was now lost in a world of confusion for all the thoughts that ran threw her head.

"Wait how did you know about neiblheim?"

"Because I was there also I watched as my home town burned to a ground. That's when we actually meet for I was the other soldier there who you never talked to and the one who always wore his helmet because I didn't have the courage to talk to Tifa."

"Why didn't you tell me Cloud?"

"Because zack asked me not to."

Lightning sat there on clouds bed and reached down and began to put her clothes back on as she thought of why he would ask cloud not to tell her. Cloud put his shirt back on and headed for the door the two soldiers then left and headed for the shinra building where they meet up with the turk members Reno and Rude. They all went into a helicopter and headed for a cave on the side of the mountain wear they believed Sephiroth was hiding. Once there they realized that this cave was not an ordinary cave it was a huge maze! So they decided that they would split into teams and leave markers on the wall as they went for they wouldn't get lost. Cloud and lightning went together and reno and Rude went together. Lightning thought to herself that it was kinda disturbing how much Reno and Rude wear together but anyway she couldn't complain too much about the pairing. The two comrades walked slowly together down the darkness of the cave keeping an eye out for any predators. The cave was dark and gloomy and the air was thick. They could hear the dripping noises of water coming from the ceiling. All around the cave was a creepy place which is a great place for someone like Sephiroth! Out of the darkness they saw a pair of red eyes then another and another and another until their wear 4 pairs of eyes. Lightning flew to the back of cloud putting her back to his. She was feeling a bit nervous for she had absolutely no idea what kind of animal those eyes belong to wear as cloud stood perfectly come so come you would think that they wear in a nice happy meadow and about to fight a bunny wabbit. Then without warning the monsters attacked appearing to be some sort of small dog type fiend which was nothing for either of them. Lightning attacked and fought off all the dogs as cloud stood there and watched. After quickly defeating the dogs she turned around reviling one pissed off face to cloud. The rest of the search was spent in silence for lightning was still pissed at cloud for not helping. (Lightning mad go figure lol) the lead turned out to be a dead for they didn't find anything so lightning decided to go back to her place tonight and cloud walked her home. They wear now on the sidewalk of a side road in midgar. The night was pitch black except for the full moon that was out and the occasional firefly. Cloud wanted to say something but he just couldn't think of the right words to say.

"Hey light about me and not helping I'm sorry. It's just…."

"ITS JUST WHAT CLOUD YOU DIDN'T WANT TO USE YOUR SWORD OR SOMETHING!"

Lightning was now using all her might to hold back the tears that wear about to flow.

"Light I just can't fight unless I absolutely haft to. Because is what took zack away and I don't want to take away someone who has someone looking up to him."

"THEN WHY DO YOU WORK FOR SOLDIER! AND YOU KNOW WHAT ZACK WAS WROUNG ABOUT YOU HE TOLD ME YOU WERE STRONG AND BRAVE AND COURAGOUS And one other thing IM NOT SORRY ABOUT CALLING YOU A ASSWHOLE YOU ASSWHOLE."

"Well YOU KNOW WHAT IM NOT SORRY ABOUT CALLING YOU A BITCH YOU BITCH. YOU THINK YOU HAVE IT SO DAME HARD ABOUT ZACKS DEATH BUT DO YOU KNOW WHAT ITS LIKE TO NOT EVEN KNOW YOUR PARENTS OR HAVING YOUR WHOLE LIFE GO BYE HAVING NO ONE UNTIL A GUY COMES ALONG THEN HAVING TO WATCH HIM DIE IN YOUR ARMS WHILE LOOKING HIM IN THE EYES. AND IF YOU SAY YOU DO WITH THAT WHOLE NIBELIEHEIM INCODENT WE BOTH KNOW THAT YOU KNOW HE WAS MORE THEN LICKLY JUST KNOCKED OUT!"

"Well cloud no I don't know what that's like but did you ever stop to think about what it would have been like to not have been able to say goodbye?"

The now crying lightning then turned around and walked away hoping to never see cloud again.

The next day.

It was around ten when the phone rang and it was serah saying she was in town today so light and her decided they would go hang out. They went and had breakfast and went shopping. They both bought quit a fair bit for serah loved to shop all the time maybe a little too much and light liked shopping when she was pissed. It was now around noon so they decided to go have lunch. When they got to the restaurant serah said she had go use the restroom so lightning got a table and ordered the drinks. Lightning was sitting there looking out the window at all the traffic when she heard someone say "So what brought you hear." She turned around to see arise and tifa standing there. They asked her if she and cloud had a fight for cloud didn't seem to happy last night when he got home. So light explained what happened to the girls and also that she didn't feel that was right. Aries then spoke up by saying

"Don't worry Cloud probably knew what type of fiends they wear and knew you could handle them. Besides he already did save your life once."

"What in the hell do you mean?"

"Remember at neibleheim you left cloud at the reactor to save zack but you fainted once you got to the town and everyone told you that zack brought you back. Well what really happened was cloud came and found you and carried you both back to shinra but everyone just assumed that it was zack who brought you back even though no one saw him bring you."

Lightning was greatly surprised at this it was like a whole new world opened up to her. Because Cloud even knowing that she left him there to die and didn't even try to help him still saved her life from the flames. She told the girls thank you for telling her that as they then left the restaurant after paying for their meal. The two sisters enjoyed their meal and talked for about a hour and then decided to leave and go get some ice cream from the ice cream parlor just doen the street. They began walking and decided to go through a back ally to get there faster than taking the main road all the way around. When they got about half way down the alley 20 men jumped out grabbed both women and throwing them to the wall. To serah it was a flash back of 8 years ago for these men obviously wanted to hurt them for some reason and they also probably wanted something only a women could give but to light it was deferent. Luckily she always carried her sword and she planned to use it. It was quite evident though it wouldn't be easy for their 20 of them one of her and by the condition of their blades and the scares on their body's it was obvious that this wasn't their first battle. Lightning dashed forward attacking the first man. He tried his best to block but try as he may lightning plowed through his defense like nothing for she wasn't soldier for nothing. She turned to her left and blocked an overhead strike only to be hit in the back then another on the side. The fight continued for a few minutes but she was soon over powered and thrown back to the wall with her sister. Serah being scared clung to her sister with tears in her eyes.

"Lightning can you beat them?"

"To be honest with this many I don't think so."

"So what does that mean?"

"Well in the best situation wear fucked."

The two sisters closed their eyes as they waited for the worst just like 8 years ago except knowing they weren't going to have a wonder boy appear out of no were and save them or wear they? They then heard a man scream as he prepared to attack but his scream turned to a muffled grunt as the two girls opened their eyes to see the man on the ground and cloud standing over them with his sword in his hand.

"Ordinarily I would tell you to stand down if you didn't want to get hurt but I'm willing to make a exception this time."

With those words no this whole scene bringing back memories from 8 years ago lightning watched intently as cloud with no effort destroyed all 20 men without receiving a scratch any were on his body. Cloud turned to the two women with a concerned look on his face and asks if they wear ok after confirming they wear ok lightning being just a bit ruffled up they decided to fuck the ice cream and just go home. Once they got back to lights house Serah decided to go take a shower leaving cloud and lightning alone on her couch. Light leaned forward and snuggled into his chest as he wrapped his strong arms around her which also wrapped a blanket of happiness around her for deep down she always felt safe with him around.

"You know cloud back there I was worried you wouldn't want to fight them and that I would be hurt."

Cloud looked down into her worried eyes as he reached up with his hand and stroked her hair out of her face and kissed her forehead.

"Lightning you never haft to worry about something like that because I will always fight if it to protect someone important to me."

"I'm important to you?"

"Yes you're very important to me light. Light I…. I love you!"
