"Why do I have to wait here...?" Rinoa said as she paced around the room impatiently. She hated to wait especially when she was this worried. Something bad was about to happen she just knew it. "I can't do this... I will have to escape..." She thought glancing around the room. Her father locked her inside as means to protect her but Rinoa wasn't one to sit and wait while her friends were out there. No she had to try and fight try and help in anyway she could.
She glanced around her surroundings and spotted a window. "Perfect" She muttered happily walking over there. To her luck it was open and her smile broadened even more as she jumped down and made her way to the streets. "Now where should I do..." She thought as she walked slowly down the road.

"Okay I think I can find her safe and sound hopefully. She's gotta be around here some where...Aw man, Rinoa where are you?" Cloud was obviously talking to himself. As he searched the area on his bike. He was summoned to collect Rinoa Heartilly for the heroes meeting at Destiny Island. And fight the Darkness.
Cloud looked at the picture one more time. Before he started his bike again. She resembled Tifa a lot. He missed her. But did Tifa get summoned to this thing? He was not sure. He had not talked to her for a few months....As he rode again on his bike, he was ready to give up...Until he saw a woman that looked just like the Rinoa on the picture...Finally! Cloud rode up beside her....
"Excuse me...Miss?"

"Hm?" Rinoa turned to look at the man that just approached her. "Yes need any help?" She asked tucking her hair behind her ear as she looked at him with a warm smile. The same one she used to greet all her friends. She could tell though that the man in front of her was not from around her world. Rinoa could tell from just one look and chuckled recalling a memory but shook her head and waited for his answer as she wondered what might bring him to this world unless it was something serious.

"Hm?"
"Yes need any help?"
Cloud stopped his bike as he held down the break with his knuckles so they could talk.
"No ma'am. No help. At least not yet. I'm here to take you to a meeting at Destiny Island. All the info is on this summon sheet...Take a brief look..." He gave her the parchment....And waited for her to scan it. And hoped that she would agree. Other wise his trip was all for nothing. That warm smile... He knew Tifa's well. And missed that.
He hoped Tifa was alright where ever she was. He missed her popping up in his bed room back at 7TH Heaven making sure he had all he needed. Still he had his knuckles clutching the brake bar on his bike.

"Metting...?" Rinoa asked tiling her head. Rinoa didn't know what this was all about. Wait she remembered Squall telling her something important. So could this letter be from him she thought taking the letter to read. "So I was right... I felt it somehow... I don't know how but I did." She shook her head those words weren't making any sense.. "I am sorry I am speaking to myself again. I just felt that something bad was about to happen to the worlds but no one believed me. I guess this is the proof I need" She said lifting the letter in her hands before turning to glance at her home. "We better go then before they find out I am missing."

"I am sorry I am speaking to myself again. I just felt that something bad was about to happen to the worlds but no one believed me. I guess this is the proof I need"
"That's not strange. I believe things happen for a reason..." Cloud was relieved that it was indeed her. The one that he was looking for. He was glad that she was so nice. For all he knew she could be a rude and obnoxiousness girl with not respect for others...But she was not like that at all. She was the exact opposite.....
"We better go then before they find out I am missing."
"Good idea...Wait who would be looking for you?" Now Cloud was confused..She was a grown woman. Who was she talking about? Cloud slipped the note back into his back pants pocket. And waited on her to get on the back of his bike....

"My father…" Rinoa answered turning to get a last glance at her house. She knew he would never approve of her doing this. He never did want her to go anywhere or get into any trouble. "I know he means well but sometimes it’s just too much. I mean he locks me in the house so I wouldn’t go anywhere and no matter what I tell him he never listens." She sighed shaking her head. Her father always was like that she never could talk to him really as he never understood her and she wasn’t sure if he even cared.
"But you know I can’t sit here and do nothing… If I can fight then I want to help that’s what I decided." Rinoa said getting on the back of his bike and held on. "Oh I just realized I didn’t introduce myself I am sorry I’m Rinoa Heartilly"

"My father…"
"I know he means well but sometimes it’s just too much. I mean he locks me in the house so I wouldn’t go anywhere and no matter what I tell him he never listens."
"I can relate to that. One of my friend's had a father like that. But you're right, we need to hurry up."
"But you know I can’t sit here and do nothing… If I can fight then I want to help that’s what I decided."
"Oh I just realized I didn’t introduce myself I am sorry I’m Rinoa Heartilly"
Cloud smiled...
"I'm Cloud. Cloud Strife. Nice to meet ya. We'll have to take a ship to Destiny Island. But I might just have enough for two boat tickets...And my bike here...Is definitely coming...Hold on..."
Cloud felt bad about what she was going through. He was not lying when he said he knew what she was talking about...Because even though it was in the past, Cloud can still remember how Tifa's father was towards him. As he rode Rinoa he thought about Tifa. He never got to say good bye after this. He just realized that. He was not sure that she was summoned to this to. He was worried about that. He didn't know he would take it if she was there with him. What if she got hurt? Would he be able to control himself and not take things to seriously? He hoped so...
Finally they arrived at the docks and Cloud bought two get away tickets...He asked the ones on the ship how long it would take to get to Destiny Island...They said about a day and a half...Then he walked back up to Rinoa....And gave her her ticket...
"We have a long boat ride ahead of us...."

"So you know the feeling then not may do but at least my friends understand and thats enough for me." Rinoa could hear shouting coming from behind her and she could tell her father finally realized that she was no longer in that house."Its nice to meet you too um... I think we are out of time so we better go before dad decides to send his guards after me." He did that last time but Rinoa managed to get away just barley, she hoped this time she would be this lucky.
Rinoa closed her eyes as she felt the gentle breeze on her face and smiled deciding to enjoy her time when ever possible. Who knew if she would get a chance to do this again.
Finally they reached the docks and bought their tickets. "We made in and in time too... talk about luck huh. Come on lets make the best of this trip till we reach Destiny Island." Rinoa had to admit she was excited about this. She did miss going on adventures with her friends and who knew she might even meet some of them in this meeting. "Hmm..." she paused turning to face Cloud. "So do you have someone special in your life?"

"So you know the feeling then not may do but at least my friends understand and thats enough for me."
Cloud smiled a warm smile at her...But every time he looked at Rinoa he was reminded now of the girl that he was in love with....
"Its nice to meet you too um... I think we are out of time so we better go before dad decides to send his guards after me."
"We made in and in time too... talk about luck huh. Come on lets make the best of this trip till we reach Destiny Island."
"Good idea!" Every time she spoke as well it was just like Tifa was right here with him....There were so many similarities it was uncanny......
"Hmm..."
"So do you have someone special in your life?"
That woke him up....They were walking up the plank. He was trying to answer her question....But still some thing was aching in his mind. What it was he...would soon know....Guards walked up the docks headed in their direction.....
"Guards like those guys?"
"HEY! YOU!!" One of the guards yelled pointing his finger at Cloud.....
"Good....A little fight will warm me up....Go on! Get on the boat...I'll handle these guys...." Cloud then unsheated his huge sword ready for the fight ahead!

Rinoa sighed nodded "I guess I spoke too soon yes those are the guards I was talking about but... how did they find me?" She saw a few guards running towards them. She knew each and everyone of them. They all worked for her father so he was the one who send them after her.
"No Cloud wait..." She said rushing to stop him once he unleashed his sword. "Um... don't hurt them they are just doing what they are told and they mean well they just..." What more could she say Rinoa just didn't feel right about fighting or leaving Cloud to handle it this was her problem to begin with. "I am sorry I got you into this mess"

"I guess I spoke too soon yes those are the guards I was talking about but... how did they find me?"
"No Cloud wait..."
Cloud stopped when she said that...
"Um... don't hurt them they are just doing what they are told and they mean well they just..."
I am sorry I got you into this mess"
"Rinoa, I was summoned to bring you to the meeting safely. And that means just that. Do what I have to to make sure that you are un harmed. But, I can't deny your request if you say stop. But what are you gonna do about them? They want you....You must have some kind of power right?"
Cloud was still looking at the guards. He did not trust them. He knew that this would not be easy. But still he had a job to do and Sora trusted him....

"I know but... these guards I have lived with them. I know them they have families and lives here." Sighing as she glanced at the guards approaching them. Rinoa was trying her hardest to think of a plan. A way out of this mess without fighting there had to be a way.
"Power um yeah I am sorceress but I don't want to use my powers against them um..." They kept moving closer and closer till Rinoa and Cloud were surrounded. "I guess there is no other way.... Cloud could you just knock them out without causing too much damage?"

"I guess there is no other way.... Cloud could you just knock them out without causing too much damage?"
"I think I can...."
Cloud sheathed his sword back on his back again and rushed at the guards...They were running straight at Cloud as well....Finally Cloud was close enough to perform a few martial arts attack on them....And knocked them all clean out.....He leaped back up to Rinoa after that...
"Don't worry now...They'll wake up wondering what they were doing." Cloud said as he wrapped his arm around Rinoa to see her on the boat....He was only doing that to protect her.
A few hours into the trip...Cloud sat in a chair in the corner of their stay room on the ship....He was in deep thought about Tifa....He loved her....But he was hurting her by lying....And leaving her in the dark again....

"Are you sure they will be alright like this?" Rinoa was obviously conserved about them. She hated fighting especially the ones close to her but she knew there was no avoiding it. Well not unless she was ready to go back but that wasn’t an option not when she came this far. Still Rinoa glanced back one last time at the guards lying unconsciously on the ground before turning to board the boat with Cloud.
"I wonder if he will be there" Rinoa muttered in a low tone. She was clearly thinking about Squall. She wanted to go with him but he asked her to wait till it was time and it finally was. "Huh?" Turning she could see Cloud lost in his own thought with a serious expression on his face. Just who could he be thinking of she wondered chuckling as she sat there waiting for him to snap back to reality.
