Chapter One:

It’s Sephiroth

 

“Uhh...Damn headache’s.” said Cloud as he arose from his bed half asleep. It was only a couple of weeks since his team had defeated Sephiroth and it seemed he couldn’t get something off his mind. It was raining; thunder and lightning emitting an aggravating glow from behind Cloud’s window. Cloud, at the corner of his bed, thinks to himself. “I-I can’t get you of my mind. UGGHH!” Cloud yelled as he went back lying in his bed hands behind his head. “If…only…” was a sigh that came under his breath.

            Cloud closed his eye’s and opened them shortly finding that he can not go back to sleep. So he layed there staring at the ceiling. Until on a certain stroke of lightning and thunder mixed, and an image of Sephiroth appeared and disappeared shortly. Cloud Jumped out of his bed in a rush and quickly knew something was wrong. He ran to his buster sword on the other end of the wall, grabbed it and crept silently down the halls and corridors of his home. Being cautious of, of course, Sephiroth. Feeling a little uptight, Cloud thought it was just imagination and decided to take walk outside. Just when he went to reach for his jacket another image of Sephiroth appeared, it show of a cruel smiling face that sent shivers to the bone of anyone who were to see it.

            Cloud tried swiping it with his sword but it went right through him and Sephiroth disappeared. Pissed off like a volcano eruption, he marched his way to Tifa’s house. It was pretty far but Cloud lived in a different part of Nibelhiem. It was nippy outside and slightly warm air passing him while raining. Cloud walked about a 20 minute walk, and finally reached Tifa’s house.

            “Ding-dong” Cloud rang the doorbell, The doorbell rang like a irritating little kid put a pot on Tifa’s head and started to bang it with a metal object. “YAHH!” Tifa said when she jumped in the air and back down to realty. She was mad for two reasons. One, was because it was so early to ring on the doorbell, and the other was because she was having a good dream. Thinking about Cloud and her being together…was rudely interrupted when she heard the doorbell.

            “Who is it? *YAWN*” was what blurted out in an angry tone and yet sleepily.

            “It’s me Cloud, open up, we have things to talk about.” Cloud said rushing for the cold air to be brought to a stop once he would enter Tifa’s house.

Tifa was somewhat happy when she heard his voice, it filled her mind, reminding her of the dream she just had, all of that was interrupted when there was rude rushing knocks... Tifa knew Cloud wouldn’t come here for the spite of it, there must a reason…She sighed and open the door with a lovingly sheepish smile half asleep.

            “Yes?” She said.

            “We have to talk business.” Cloud said while entering her home,

            “What is it?” Tifa said; “What’s going on?”

“It’s Sephiroth.”

Chapter Two:

So what’s the plan?

            “Sephiroth?!” Tifa said surprised and confused.

            “Yeah, his body may be dead, but his spirit is lurking around out for revenge.” Said Cloud a bit worried of what can happen.

            “What do you thinks going to happen?” Tifa question not really wanting those words to come out of her mouth.

            “Right now? Unknown, but that damn bastards up to something, something that may cause our defenses to decrease dramatically and hit us in the spot that weakens us emotionally.” Said Cloud while thinking exactly what Sephiroth might do to him or that whole crew for that matter.

            “We can’t let that happen…” Tifa managed to groan knowing exactly what Cloud was thinking about.

            “Yeah, otherwise he’ll get us straight where it hurts…” Tifa said thinking to herself and was quite happy she was dead. Yes, it was cold hearted, she did cry and felt best friend feelings for her, but it was that b&#%h that took Cloud away from her and she wasn’t planning to forget. She was somewhat grateful to Sephiroth and would do anything to keep her dead. Tifa wasn’t listening to Cloud while he was talking.           “…Alright Tifa?” Cloud finished.

            “…… Huh? Yeah, yes.” Tifa said while returning back to realty.

            “Okay then.” Cloud muttered.

            “Yeah.” Tifa stared.

Cloud with a confused look on his face said:

            “Call the others?” Cloud questioned.

            “Oh, oh, oh, sorry. Okay.” Tifa said embarrassed.

            Cloud was stripping his coat of wet and cold, hung it on the clothing rack near the entrance. Cloud was walking around the main floor of the room, he stopped and turned left to kitchen. He sat upon a chair. Waiting. Tifa grabbed her PHS and called all the party to come down by her place, it seemed like forever for them to get there . When the crew finally came they got down to business.

            “I…I don’t know what we did wrong, but…Sephiroth isn’t dead.” Cloud started off.

            “What the F#@k you talking about? Didn’t you whip his ass?” said Cid in an angry tone. Completely not believing what’s going on.

            “Waddya mean US wasn’t it you who did the final blow?” Yelled out Yuffie, “I mean you’re the one who didn’t kill Sephiroth.” The whole crew looked at her as if she said the most stupidest thing in the whole damn world.

Walking up silently Vincent spoke words of seriousness.

            “Exactly how do you know if he is still alive?” Was the questioning words released by Vincent.

            “I saw him earlier this morning, or at least images of him. I don’t know what he got planed, but if I know Sephiroth the way I do, he’s up to no good.” Said Cloud.

            “Alright then forget about that piece of s@%t, what’s our plan?” Barret said some what happy for rejoining with his friends.

“We have to make one.”

 

Chapter Three:

Emotions

 

            Cait Sith hopped forward to cloud, and said

            “So this is the recap, eh? Sephiroth is alive, you witnessed a horrifying picture of him, we all assume that he has resurrected and now we have to make a plan to try and stop him, right?”

            “That’s just about right but we have to be careful to the fact he’ll get us all…emotional and weaken our defenses.” Said Cloud, once again as he explained it to Tifa.

            “Wait!” wailed out Red XIII “Maybe, just maybe Sephiroth will try out some thing new. I mean he probably knows that we know the way he is. And believe me, I don’t think Sephiroth would want to fail so maybe he’s got a plan. But, I’m not saying Turn plan A to something completely different, what I’m saying is make a plan A and a plan B. Just in case he acts different then what we know. So let’s try that out for a change. Plan it carefully, I don’t think we might have a second chance.”

            “You are one-hundred percent correct.” Said Cloud realizing what exactly Red XIII meant.

            “So, Plan A will probably be Sephiroth trying to break us down into little bit’s and pieces…Guys, we have to forget about EVERYTHING, not a soul should stop us on our way.” Tifa said proudly and cruelly as her Amber’s met Clouds Sapphire’s. While she had a slight smirk on herself that was invisible to the human eye, but she knew she was doing it. Cloud turned away puzzled by the way those words came out.

            “Yes.” Cloud continued. “Everybody, if he takes one of us we would just have to forget about all the good and all the bad times we had together with that person, and pretend they never existed.” Cloud said in a come back, looking at his friends and stops at Tifa. “Yeah well we gotta start makin’ a plan soon or else Sephiroth ‘ill destroy the planet before we know it.” Intercepted Barret, which lead Cloud to turn away from Tifa.

            “Red XIII, you got anything planned in mind? I mean I figured you would since you brought up the fact that we could make a plan B?” Asked Cloud.

            “Well…what he would normally do is talk and fight, correct? Well maybe he would probably try to use an object…Jenova or something, I don’t know but that’s what I assume.” Red XIII replied.

            “That sounds just about right to me, agree, so-” Cloud said about to continue his sentence when he heard the door slam behind him. Everybody looked behind themselves. Then they looked around them.

            “So Tifa left, eh?” asked Cait Sith.

            “Yeah, she has some issues; maybe she’s posses, Heh, Heh.” Cid said with a puff of his cigarette.

            “…I don’t know…when she spoke, and talked about forgetting everyone, she said it cruelly. But if you stop and think about it, she said it with a smirk, But who stops and thinks anymore.” Was a smart reply from Vincent.

            “I did notice something about her was awkward.” Said Red XIII

            “I dunno, Tifa don’t act like this, usually.” Barret added.

            “Can we get back to the plans? She’ll come back, right?” Yuffie questioned.

            “I…I think something got to her. (She likes me…but she is jealous.) *sigh*.

“Sephiroth done this, were gonna have to stop him.”

 

Chapter Four:

Blackmail

 

            “*Sniff* Cloud has to stop. She’s dead…she’s dead, she’s dead, SHE’S DEAD!” Tifa said that as she plopped onto the rocky cold floor scrapping her knee’s crying till her eyes were bloodshot red.

            “What’s the matter?” said deep rich voice.

            “*sniff* what? Who goes there?” Tifa sobbed

            “Why, you don’t know who I am?” creped the voice

            “…S-” Tifa couldn’t finished she got up wobbling and walked weakly trying to get away from Sephiroth.

            “There is...no possible way…in…in…the world you could be alive…for the third time.” Tifa said with a hurtful cough.

            “Oh, but I’m not……yet.” Sephiroth laughed in a horrible tune on purpose.

            “Go-GO AWAY YOU DAMN F@#$%*&!” Tifa scream as she fell once again, but this time onto to the grass. “I-I can’t…take this anymore.”

            “I was planning to weaken Cloud.” Said Sephiroth not finishing his sentence, just waiting for Tifa to reply. He knew what he had planned and this was probably the only way he’d weaken Cloud even more. To lie.

            “…I…in what way.” Tifa said as she brushed her hair away from her face, wiped the tears out of her eyes, and looked up waiting for her answer. But, she slightly knew what it was.

            “Well, I was planning to bring back Aeris.” Sephiroth sighed slowly.

            “Heh…show yourself.” Tifa laughed.

            “I’ve been right behind you.” Sephiroth said.

Tifa arose from the grass, got up a faced the opposite side of Sephiroth, curling a fist in her hand and said:

            “Don’t bring her back to life…that will only make Cloud forget about me…more.” Tifa said angrily while grinding teeth.

            “Why should I do that? So I can die once again, and not defeat him, surely I want to defeat him.” Sephiroth said lying questionably. Tifa stood there, thinking.

            “What if…we could…bargain.” Tifa said, knowing what she was doing. The wrong thing.

            “Well, to put it like that, what exactly do you have in mind?” Sephiroth question cruelly.

            “…May be if I joined…*sigh*…your side…you won’t…bring Aeris back to life and…we could try and weaken Cloud by…me.” Tifa said.

            “That sounds pretty fair. Alright.” Sephiroth said. Tears rolled down Tifa eyes.

            “I’ll…do it…so what’s the plan” Tifa said about to breakdown, she knew she was doing the wrong thing. But she didn’t want Aeris to come back alive, Cloud would forget about her. The only way to do that was to join Sephiroth’s side. But it seems she forget how Sephiroth was like.

            “Come over here and I’ll tell you.” Sephiroth said happily and waited for her.

Tifa turned around closed her eyes and opened them shortly, and started to walk toward Sephiroth. She wondered what he meant when he said, he wasn’t alive…yet.

            “She doesn’t even know, Heh…” said Sephiroth

“She’s been blackmailed.”

 

Chapter Five:

Where’s Cloud?

 

            “Great.” Cloud sighed. “Now we have to find Tifa and destroy Sephiroth that extends the amount of time we have until Sephiroth will get to us.”

            “Yeah, well I wouldn’t care so much, she knows how to defend her self she wouldn’t in THAT much in trouble when we find her. GAWD.” Remarked Yuffie, once again the crew look at her, as if she said the dumbest thing in the world, again.

            “All that been cumin’ out of yer mouth only been damn stupid remarks.” Said Barret angrily.

            “Enough fighting, you people ought a smoke, it does relieve a lot of stress. You should try we-” Cid did not get to finish that sentence.

            “Cid, don’t involve smoking into this, it’s bad enough that Sephiroth is back alive and Tifa’s gone.” Cloud said depressingly. After that there was a long silence.

            “…Does this involve a plan C?” Red XIII said trying to break the silence.

Cloud was sitting on the kitchen chair elbows on each thigh and head on top of his folded hands. He was thinking to himself.

            “…Why does it have to be like this…?” Cloud blurted aloud by accident. He knew that Sephiroth probably took Tifa, or Sephiroth probably kidnapped her. Suddenly, the door slammed open;

            “Uh…hi guys. I just needed some fresh air.” Tifa said shakily. Cloud got up in an instant. While everyone said “where you’ve been?” or “hi!” Cloud just decided to sit right back down, arms crossed and with a serious face on. This all seem to keep Tifa happy until she glanced at Cloud who looked at her straight in the face. It wasn’t too happy. Even with all the cheering going on a frown was still brought to Tifa’s face, and Cloud’s, (could he know?) she thought to herself. With the frown on Clouds face, it could drive anyone to go back to Sephiroth and say “forget the deal!” But some how Tifa managed. She looked away from him and went back to smiling.

            Cloud got up grabbed his jacket and just left. The big slam of the door distracted everybody.

“What’s his problem? GAWD. If he is mad that I was right that Tifa would come back, he needs to grow up. ” Said Yuffie with an attitude. Tifa felt that frown come back again.

            “*sigh* Maybe I’ll go talk to him.” Said Tifa with a sigh. As she grabbed moved her way through the seven people.

            “Um…guys there are several rooms in my house but, not enough for all, some of you can sleep in the basement.” Tifa said when she passed the small crowd, and headed on her way to look for Cloud. She was thinking if she should return the offer Sephiroth gave her. (Maybe, I should………No, then Sephiroth will bring Aeris back to life and knowing Cloud’s love for her…he’d marry her. I’m not letting that happen…again.)

            The plan was for Tifa to act like the discussion never existed between Sephiroth and her. But when the time comes, Sephiroth kidnaps her as a part of the plan. Cloud will come to look for her, and she’ll pretend that she’s trapped. When Sephiroth frees her out of the trap, Tifa would go on Sephiroth side and Cloud would die in her hands. But the “…and Cloud dies in her hands.” part was not told to Tifa, and unfortunately a bunch of other cruel stuff was not told to her.

“If only they knew…Heh…Heh.”

 

Chapter Six:

Yes, I do love her

 

            Tifa was walking all she was doing is thinking. Until she stopped, at the corner of her eye was Cloud sitting on a log near the water. Tifa sighed and turned around and headed to Cloud. What was in her head was to either listen to Sephiroth or not. Her mind wills soon chose, depending on Clouds behavior.

            “Cloud?” Tifa said while slowly walking toward him. Cloud turned around and didn’t have a face on. It wasn’t frustrated, or unhappy, it was a blank stare.

            “……What.” Cloud replied.

            “Are you okay? What’s in your mind?” Tifa insisted to know. Thinking it was because of her.

            “Nothing. Where were you?” Cloud said strictly.

            “I-I I was out taking a walk.” Stuttered Tifa.

            “Why are you stuttering? Where did you go? Tell me the truth!” Cloud said as he arose from the log now with an aggravated look on his face, as he stepped around the log with such anger, it forced Tifa to take steps back because she was frightened.

            “Were you with Sephiroth!?” Cloud yelled with so much anger the birds flew away from the tree tops. Tifa now knows Clouds knows but she can’t tell him. Suddenly words were coming out of her mouth and she didn’t want to speak at all, but they busted open.

            “No, I wasn’t with Sephiroth! I was taking a goddamn walk!” Yelled out Tifa with her anger reaching the same level as his. Cloud Turned away with the agitated look still on his face. What made it worse was, they yelled at each other liked they never yelled before. The he sat back down. With now from an angry face to a serious one.

            “Why are you here.” He said, he made it sound like he was more annoyed then asking a question.

            “I wanted to find you.” Said Tifa with the same seriousness as his.

            “I love her. There, I said it. I love her. She hasn’t been off my mind since she died.” Cloud managed to say.

            “Well, I’m sorry Cloud, she’s dead and you are going to have to face it.” Tifa remarked rudely yet softly.

            “Yes, I do love her. I love her so much and she’s has been tormenting me. Always emerging in my dreams. I can’t…I just can’t stop thinking about her.” Said Cloud shaking his head.

            “…So…you want her back alive…” Tifa wanted to finish that sentence, But Cloud interrupted:

“So, I’m scared. I’m scared that Sephiroth might use her…use her to weaken me.” Cloud interrupted.

“Cloud…” Tifa mumbled.

“I have a feeling you went to Sephiroth. You can’t lie, there will be distrust between me and you me.” Cloud replied angrily.

“She’s dead.” Tifa said in a whisper.

“What was that?” Cloud turned and asked.

“She’s dead, she’s dead, she’s dead, SHE’S DEAD! That son of a B@#$% is dead! HA, HA, HA!

“And she’ll never come back alive.”

 

Chapter Seven:

She’s Dead

 

            “She’s dead!” Tifa finished with sobs, and ran off. Cloud sat there on the log astonished, how Tifa sounded so awkward, but he knew it was her true feelings. And so he sighed. Cloud just sat and thought to himself.

            Back at Tifa’s house, the crew was discussing and there was dead silence.

            “…Are we gonna have dinner?” Yuffie asked as she broke the silence.

            “That ain’t important righ now, I wanna see when Cloud and Tifa are cumin’ back.” Snapped back Barret.

            “Well I could make dinner.” Cid interrupted.

            “No…it will probably smell like tobacco.” Red XIII replied.

            “…………” Watched Vincent

            “I think Barret is right, we have to wait for them to come.” Cait Sith muttered.

So they waited, which brought another silence. Yuffie got up and headed out side. Everybody watched as she grabbed her jacket and left the house.

            “Let her go. She needs the fresh air.” Said Barret to Cait sith who was about to follow after. Then returned to his sit.

            “Does everybody have to reject me? Am I…not wanted…?” Yuffie thought. “I’m probably too annoying anyway…Sometimes I can’t even take myself…heh…heh. *sigh* AHHHHH!”

            “Are we just going to let her go like that?” said Red XIII, “Come to think about it, Yuffie is only sixteen years of age!”

            “Um, sickie, you are too!” Cid said.

            “It’s Sephiroth who is breaking us apart, he might be, no must be, using a strategy that we weren’t aware of. He’s probably taking us apart party member by party member.” Said Vincent who stood there thinking while the others were chatting away.

            “God, why can’t that motherf@#$%^ leave us alone? Wha? He got issues or sumthin’?” Said Barret.

            “Look, I don’t care what’s going on now we have to concentrate on Sephiroth robbing one of us…again.” Said Cait Sith.

            “Wright, here’s the plan…the plan C.”

            But so little they really knew on what was to come ahead. It was cold outside, almost so cold that it could penetrate through any coat, but the unusual part was that it wasn’t snowing. Tears fell from the sky, for fear of Sephiroth getting closer to destroy the planet, once again. The drops were like a touch of ice sending agitating shivers downs one’s back. Yet, Cloud couldn’t feel it. It was there, but he had Aeris on is mind once again. The pain that was emanating through Cloud right now was colder than the planets tears.

            “I really do love you…I lived for the sake of you…hoping…somehow you’d…you’d come back to me. I want you back alive so bad. But Tifa wants you to stay dead…because she is afraid…afraid…I’d fall in love…with you, once more. Why’d you leave me! TO TORMENT ME LIKE THIS!” Cloud screamed. After a pause he said “But, I’m not giving up on you, not now not ever, I love you but there’s no more to it. I love someone who is not here with me. Sooner or later if you don’t come back to me…I might just end up marrying Tifa. Please come back! Even so there will be emptiness in my heart!

“But you can’t, because…because…your dead.”

 

Chapter Eight:

You’re…Just a friend

 

            “*sigh* better go look for Tifa, hope she’s not crying too much.” Grumbled Cloud to himself. As he walked through the forest he felt a presence, a good presence, one that he felt he knew. It kept him warm. Then from a distance Cloud saw Tifa there. He rushed to her.

“Tifa!” Cloud panted as he was running.

Tifa didn’t look completely behind her, she only looked sideways with a blank face, sitting on a rock. She only did it while glancing, and waited till he arrived.

“…Tifa.” Cloud whispered as he stood there.

“…What.” Tifa muttered with a blank face.

“…*sigh* I know…you like me…a whole lot.” Cloud said worried she might run again.

“…Yeah, well…who didn’t.” Tifa said with a smirk that appeared and disappeared as she sniffed after saying those words.

“You know, I once had a crush on you.” Said Cloud, happily yet sadly.

“…once…………until she came to your life.” Tifa said.

“I…who are you talking about?” Cloud frowned.

“You know well who the f%#& I’m talking about.” Tifa screamed at the top of her lungs as she arose from the rock, and faced him. Cloud stood there and hesitated. 

“………yeah…I guess I do.” Cloud said shamefully.

“Yeah, I figured.” Tifa said angrily, and sat back down.

“…Look, it’s not my fault, I love her, I love her a whole lot, I LOVE AERIS!” Cloud Yelled as he fell to his knees, holding in his tears, but he couldn’t withstand its power, his feelings, it’s to strong, they came streaming out. Tifa sat there, staring at him as she heard him whimper.

“Then…then what am I…to you?” Tifa said questionably

Tifa waited for Cloud to finish whimpering and gathering himself up so that she could get her answer.

            “…” Cloud stared with weary eyes. Tifa got up and showed Cloud to the rock so he can sit and relax. 

             “Tifa…*cough, cough*” Cloud had finally said with horrible coughs. “Are… *cough* are you…wor-*cough, cough, cough, cough,*…for Sephiroth…?” Cloud finished. It was cold whether and as he cried, he became so cold, and the presence disappeared, as his tears turn to ice, and his face became pale.

            “Why…why would you think that?” Tifa laughed obviously. Cloud looked up with the most horrible face possible Cloud can put on and then he managed to make it serious.

            “Cloud…that’s dumb…heh, why would I…Don’t you trust me?” Tifa said somewhat angrily.

            “…I did…” Cloud said.

            “…heh…what?...heh…your kidding right?” Tifa said.

            “…No…” Cloud said with the supreme seriousness ever.

            “What?...Answer my question! What do you think of me? ”Tifa cried trying to change the subject, hoping Cloud will play along.

“You’re…just a friend.”

 

Chapter Nine:

Sephiroth’s Trap

 

            Tifa let go of Cloud and let him slip on to the floor, as he groaned she just looked at him with a face he never saw her wear before. Even though his face didn’t show it, he was astonished, and sooner or later on realized that those words cut her hard and deep.

            “…Just a friend huh, well you, know what, Aeris isn’t coming back. You gotta give her up. Yes, I’m working for Sephiroth only because we had a deal. A deal to make sure Aeris will NEVER! Come back alive, and if that how it’s going to be I’m going to keep it like that, because I love and care about you. But, now I know you take me for granted. You do not appreciate what I had done for you. And now you will feel my pain and sorrow for a cold unwinding love in my heart. B$%&@ I hope Aeris go to hell for this s&^%!” Tifa said as she ran away.

Cloud felt like he needed to say something, but it would affect his body, he was turning very ill, and soon will be unable to walk. As much as Cloud wanted to speak he couldn’t as the world around him turned black.  

“Where is he? That spiky-white ass nigger is getting us all worried over here.” Rambled Barret.

“I wanna know where the three are right now. I’m getting impatient of those retards.” Cid puffed.

“What are we going to do now?” Red XIII asked.

“How the hell am I supposed to know?” Cait Sith replied

“People, we gotta calm down.” Vincent said.

“How the hell are we going to? This S#$% is not letting us go. I not going to stand here and do nunthin’!” Before anyone could say “Cid no stop!”, he was already out the door.

            Meanwhile Tifa, was just running, not crying, not anything. She came to a stop.

            “*sigh*” Tifa pouted, as she dropped to the floor.

            “Sephiroth come here right now!” Tifa said impatiently waiting on a log that was set there.

            “May I help you?” Said Sephiroth, with a slight grin on his face.

            “Are you doing this on purpose?” Tifa said pressingly.

            “Why, doing what?” Sephiroth said obviously.

            “Your making me pay consequences! To the fact that, the only way you’ll keep Aeris dead is if you torture me by making Cloud dislike m-” Tifa never finished that sentence.

“Shhhhh,” Sephiroth said as he wrapped around her like a serpent, an unwanted serpent.

“Get off me.” Tifa said calmly. As Sephiroth slithered away from her, he brought Yuffie with him. Then he was holding her tight almost so that she can’t breathe and it was getting tighter.

“*puff, puff* Get offfff-you FREAK!” said Yuffie with her last breath as she fainted and turned a pale blue. Sephiroth dropped her on the floor.

“Not only that, check out your friend.”  Sephiroth said as he got more serious and stopped laughing.

“Tifa don’t do it!” Said Cid’s voice but he was nowhere to be found.

“It’s Sephiroth’s trap!”

 

Chapter Ten:

Leave me alone!

 

            Then there was a sudden silence and stare. As Tifa was looking at Sephiroth with unwarming eyes and a frown, Sephiroth just stood there, completely calm and a shivering smile. And they stood there. Tifa suddenly breaks the silence by taking a hard step and continuing as you hear clashes of footsteps over and over. Then there’s and jump and Tifa lands on Sephiroth’s body, finally she throws non-stop punches. As Tifa cut her fist deep into Sephiroth’s skin, blood did poor out freely but Sephiroth showed a face of no pain. When the punching was finished, Tifa jumped off his body.

“You…I HATE YOU!” Yelled out Tifa.

“F*&# if I care, your going to have to get used to it…that is if you want Aeris to stay dead.” Sephiroth said with an evil face.

“UGHH...you…you tricked me. And like a dumbass I am, I forget how the fagot Sephiroth is like. But yet, I’m only doing this for me.” Tifa calmed as she finished.

“Oh, now you realize? I forgot to tell you, you’re pretty selfish. Wanting to keep Aeris dead because YOU don’t want Cloud to forget about YOU, hoping one day Cloud will forget about Aeris, and marry YOU, and if somehow Aeris comes back alive, Cloud will more than likely forget about YOU, wow four you’s in that awkward sentence.” Sephiroth said sarcastically.

“Listen, if Aeris was alive it will only be about her and Cloud.” Tifa shouted in anger.

“And who will that be hurting?” Sephiroth snapped

“…” Tifa stood quiet, in shame knowing what he was going to say.

“YOU! That’s five!” Sephiroth said.   

            “I-I-I’m not too happy with you…do you want me to work for you or not?” Tifa spilled out of her mouth knowing that will make Sephiroth angry, but he didn’t.

            “You’ll ask me that and I’ll ask you this, do you want Aeris dead or alive?” Sephiroth said.

            “Dead.” Tifa answered.

            “Yeah…I figured.” Sephiroth said. “I want you to continue with the plan, as I’ll make Red XIII next to be captured; it depends on YOUR, attitude on to what I do to them.” Sephiroth discussed. “You go back and lie that Cloud went to think for some more time. Got it?”

            “…” Tifa stared in disappointment, now she realizes she messed up big time for making a deal with Sephiroth, but she has to do his dirty work now.

            “GOT IT!?!?!” Sephiroth yelled.

            “…yes…” Then Tifa turned away with so much frustration the only thing she could do was scream, to the fact that it seemed Sephiroth was resistant to her punches.

Shout, shout, shout, shout, shout, and shout. That is all. But she kept it in while grinding her teeth.

            “Oh don’t forget, this time it is your turn to lure the rest of your friends to me that way they would start suspecting you and forget about me…I get you out of the mess…heh…” Sephiroth finished as he amused himself by fibbing.

            “…” Tifa kept walking.

            “Excuse you, do you hear me?” Sephiroth asked.

“UGGHHH! Leave me alone!!”

 

Chapter Eleven:

Tifa’s Rage

 

            Sephiroth watched her as she walked away. He had no worries because he knew that she would have to do her work. But Sephiroth isn’t a nice man to play with. He has been fibbing to her for the longest and he has another plan of destruction on his mind which only he knows.

            While the rest of the party that was left at Tifa’s bar: Barret, Red XIII, Cait Sith and Vincent were simply thinking and waiting. Waiting for the return of Cloud at least…

            “You know what, we should of never let anyone step out of this house…it’s all that mother@#$%^&’s fault, He took the most of us away. We are not going to stand a chance without the rest of us here.” Cait Sith said.

            “Well no one goes out of this house until someone we know oughta come.” Barret said.

*Knock, Knock, Knock*

            “Speak of the devil…well, go get it Cait Sith!” Barret said.

            “Why me?” Said Cait.

            “Since you’re a stuffed animal, losing you wouldn’t be a big deal.” Barret answered back.

            “Uhh...whatever…always using me…dirty work…themselves.” Cait Sith mumbled to himself.

            “Who is it?” Cait Sith asked at the other side of the door.

            “It’s-a me…Tifa, can you bring Red XIII out? We need to talk.” Tifa questioned.

            “Hey guys, it’s Tifa!” Cait Sith said.

            “What’s up?” Barret asked.

            “Umm she said she needed Red.” Cait Sith told.

            Barret nodded his head to Red XIII as to tell him he was able to go. Red XIII got out of his sit. He walked toward the door and Tifa took him out quietly and slowly. In her pocket was a red cloth, since the door was open, Barret saw and became furious.

            “Yo, what the hell are you doing?” Barret screeched.

            “What? I’m just going to wipe the sweat from my forehead.” Tifa said nervously.

            “Uh-huh, it freaking raining outside, what sweat can there possibly be?” Cait sith Said proudly as he felt somewhat smart.

            “You don’t believe me, well I meant to say to wipe it-” Tifa stopped, and really started to sweat as the rest of the party got closer and closer.

            Tifa was walking backer and backer, she hit the wall
