AN: sorry if this scenario seems super random, but I know where I'm going with this! Lol I guess you could say this chapter is the beginning of the end so...yeah!

Coud felt like it was a bad nightmare. He and Raine were taking a walk when they were suddenly surrounded by a group of men in black suits. He thought they were Turks but he knew he was wrong when Raine protectively stepped in front of him. It wasn't like her to do so in any situation but this was different.

"Go away! Leave us alone!"

Cloud was surprised by the authoritative tone in her voice but the suited men didn't listen and they immediately grabbed Raine. When Cloud lunged at them and knocked down a few, he was caught by two bodyguards and separated him from Raine.

"Cloud!"

Cloud fought furiously against the bodyguards as they restrained him and pulled him further away from Raine.

"Our orders were not to hurt the young miss!" A bodyguard shouted.

Raine was kicking and screaming and Cloud swore he saw tears.

"Let me go! I'm not going back! I can't go back!

Cloud's heart lurched when a bodyguard covered Raine's mouth with a piece of cloth, effectively causing Raine to faint. Cloud continued fighting as the bodyguard tossed Raine onto his shoulder and entered a sleek black car.

"Raine!"

Cloud fell silent when his world turned black.

Hours later, he work up in his room in Seventh Heaven. Tifa and Reno were in the room with him, relieved to see that he was alive.

"What happened, yo? You scared the shit out of us when we found you."

Cloud wasn't one to show emotion, but he was beginning to panic.

"They took Raine away."

"Who?"

"I don't know know. Some shady guys in suits."

Tifa could see how worried Cloud was; his brows were furrowed and his lips were pressed tightly together.

"They're not Turks, otherwise I would've received orders, too." Reno reasoned.

"But why would anyone want Raine? She's harmless!"

Reno frowned as he pondered on the situation. Tifa couldn't help but smile; Reno looked handsome when he was serious.

"Come to think of it...we don't know anything about Raine, don't we?"

Cloud instantly felt defensive,

"What are you talking about, Reno?"

"Do you even know her favorite color?"

"It's blue."

"Her favorite food?"

"Grilled meat."

"Her family?"

Cloud paused. Raine had never mentioned anything about family. She didn't even talk about friends or acquaintances. She only talked about Cloud and his friends.

"I don't know." Cloud sighed.

"That's what I thought," Reno sighed, "I'd better do some work."

Tifa nodded in agreement,

"I'll ask Yuffie for help, too."

Cloud remained in his room while Tifa and Reno went downstairs. He took out his wallet and looked at a picture of him and Raine. He wondered if he would ever see her again.
