"I don't know but what ever it was its not good" "Cloud whats going on.... are you alright?" "What? What is it?" Cloud was kinda freaking out when he saw her worry and concerned look at him.....Cloud had no idea what was going on either. He heard the screeching sound again....It sounded like a shadow creature....It must have followed them...."Tifa...Wait...It has not seen us yet.....And maybe it won't...." It was dark enough in here for them to hide from the animal....But clear enough for Tifa to see Clouds eyes....Cloud was getting scared....He hoped that the thing would just move on and not find them...Until he saw the creature enter the room they were now in.....Cloud grabbed his sword but to only realize he took it off so he could sit on the chair with Tifa earlier..."Damn..." Cloud cursed in his mind.....As he looked over to see the sword far from reach.....The animal sniffed and scratched every now and then.....Until it got so close it could feel Cloud's breath.....But the strange thing was....This creature never attacked.....Not once.....

"Cloud..... its your eyes their......." What could she say, they are filled with darkness? Didn't he feel something was different? Now they had something else to worry about "Its here" She turned to stare at the door once she heard something move from outside. 'Maybe it won't come in' She only hoped it wouldn't but it did and moved closer to them. Was it another one of those Heartless? Tifa glanced at Clouds sword it was out of reach. With a sigh she took a step back and reached for her gloves ready to fight in his place.

"Cloud..... its your eyes their......." "What?! What's happening to me?" Cloud was getting very scared now.... "Its here" Cloud saw her back away and grab her gloves...But he stopped her....As he struck his arm out...."No...Don't attack...I think it only wants to attack you....Watch...?" Cloud walked over and grabbed his sword in hand....As he raised it at the creature.....But the creature knelt.....As if Cloud was at its command...."Unbelievable.....It does not want to attack me....." Cloud tested some thing else with the creature as he raised his hand up flat and open.....The Creature vanished then....Cloud was in utter dis belief...."It can't be....I...I chose the Light....Not the Dark...." But all to say he was glad the creature was gone.....

"They are turning completely black....!!" Tifa explained as she lifted her fists up ready to attack the Heartless when suddenly Cloud stopped her. "What?" She couldn't understand why. What was happening? She glanced at the creature lowering her fists but was on her guard at the same time. She saw how it obeyed Cloud's every command it even vanished at its signal. "Cloud....." Tifa didn't know what to believe now. Did Cloud just command one of the Heartless......Was that even possible for someone on the Light side?

"They are turning completely black....!!" "Ha! That's crazy!!" But they were....."What?" "Cloud....." Just as she said his name, his eyes returned to normal. As they were before....That happened when the creature vanished..."Are you okay?!" Cloud rushed over as he let his sword slip to the ground....He didn't know what was going on with him. But he was worried about Tifa....Was she okay? Did she know more than him? She saw his eyes....That scared him. What was going on? Was the big question....Still in dis belief but Cloud looked at her. She would see that his eyes were back to normal.....

That did sound crazy Tifa knew that and had a feeling that would be his response. "I know but....." The words just faded from her mouth nothing came out. She only looked at him with eyes filled with worry, a single tear even fell. "Cloud its you I am worried about" What just happened? Tifa still couldn't believe it her eyes were they deceiving her or was this real?
Everything turned back to normal even Cloud's eyes as if nothing happened, but Tifa knew that she didn't imagine anything. "Wh.... what just happened?" She wanted an answer something simple to take in, but it seemed that not even Cloud knew the answer.

"I know but....." "Cloud its you I am worried about" "Wh.... what just happened?" "I...I don't know. I'm not suppose to be with them.....I'm a hero right? At least that's what I thought." Cloud was just as confused as she was...Cloud scratched the back of his head with his hand and walked away from her....As he looked around the room they were in. To make sure nothing else was there.... "Tifa, I don't know. I honestly don't know. Why is this happening? And why now? It's never happened before." Cloud was searching in his memories for any reason why this was happening....But he came up with nothing....He knew she was scared and worried...She really worried about him...He was too. Did he have a darkness inside him he has yet to reveal? Cloud then turned around and walked back up to Tifa....."Ca---Can we just get some sleep for now....? I'm really tire all of a sudden...."

It seemed that even he didn't know the answer. He was just as confused and worried as she was. Tifa was lost between words. Her thoughts only brought more questions. Everywhere she looked just pointed to one source Sephiroth.
"Cloud..... do you think this might have something to do with him.....?" She asked taking a step closer. He would probably know who she was referring to who other than the great hero that turned sides long ago. "You want to get some rest.... um sure......" She replied to his question

"Cloud..... do you think this might have something to do with him.....?" Cloud looked at her. He knew exactly who she was talking about...... "I hope not...." But even Cloud could not deny that it was because of Sephiroth....As long as Cloud lived so did Sephiroth...Since Cloud had the "S" cells inside his blood stream...... "You want to get some rest.... um sure......"
Later that night. They were both asleep in a huge bed on the second floor of the castle. It was around 2 am in the morning now....Cloud slept right beside Tifa. He was worn out....The events that happened tonight really made him exhausted....But it was not soon after. He woke up from a night mare....He was gasping for air as all he saw right in front of him was Sephiroth looking up at him....The one winged angel's blade was struck right into Cloud's stomach and out from his back....."Is this the pain you felt before.....Cloud?" Those words sounded a bit echoey.....Cloud's pupils in his eyes were in cat like form....What the hell was happening to him.....?

Everything was fine till she woke up from a scream that echoed in the entire castle. Tifa instantly woke up to see that it came from Cloud. She sensed the fear he was in and let a gentle hand rest on his shoulders. "Are you okay?" She asked with a concerned look. Was it another nightmare?
She worried to much, Tifa always did and it showed in her eyes, but that was something she couldn't help. Tifa was always like that ever since she was a child. She always cared and helped everyone around her, but the one that she was concerned about was always Cloud.

"Are you okay?" Cloud nodded in response....."I am now." He felt her place her hand on his shoulder. "Just another night mare...It's okay... Cloud closed his eyes. The thought os Sephiroth gave his spine a shiver....At that moment he saw the mans face appear before him...And Cloud yelled out again! As he scooted backwards til he hit the head of the bed...And it the face was gone...."What's wrong with me.....?" His hands were trembling....He was so terrified....It was becoming a bit clearer to him.....He remembered what Sephiroth last said to him....That he would never be a memory....Was he right about that? Was he using Cloud to escape the Life Stream....? Or was Cloud just doomed to be on the Dark side after all....? All these questions raced in Cloud's own mind......

Just like she thought it was another nightmare only more this time. Was it about him Sephiroth? Tifa was about to ask but stopped the moment she saw the look in his eyes, that just gave her the answer. "Nothing is wrong with you..... Cloud look at me" Tifa said taking both of his hands in hers and moved to where she could see him clearly. "Look we will figure how to deal with this together alright." She tried her best to calm him down. Panicking never helped any one. Tifa learned that for experience and now she tried to help the ones around her with what she could.

"Nothing is wrong with you..... Cloud look at me" Cloud did look at her. His expression was lost in confusion. "Look we will figure how to deal with this together alright." "You know what it is as much as I do....It's the darkness in my soul Tifa....I think it's finally taking over me...." Cloud was calmer when she grabbed his hands in hers....He took a deep breath after that...."Hojo planted "S" cells inside me....That's why he can never die fully....Because I'm alive.....Maybe I do belong with the Darkness...." Cloud didn't want to believe it...He was in love....He couldn't be evil.... "I'm not going to let this beat me okay. I don't care what I have to do, I'm going to fight this...."

"No Cloud you don't belong on that side." This felt like it did before a year ago when she was giving him a lecture about not giving up and moving on with his life instead of holding on to a memory. That was still what he was doing now. It was different but he was holding on to the memory of Sephiroth.
"I know.... you told me this before remember but it doesn't matter Cloud. Look you don't belong to the Darkness even if you have apart of it in you. All you need is someone to surround you with light and maybe someday that light would destroy the darkness inside of you." Tifa reached a hand up to his cheek and rubbed it slowly with her thumb. An honest smile formed on her lips as she looked at him for several seconds. "Thats the spirit Cloud. Never give up alright."

"No Cloud you don't belong on that side." Cloud looked up at her with hope in his eyes....."I know.... you told me this before remember but it doesn't matter Cloud. Look you don't belong to the Darkness even if you have apart of it in you. All you need is someone to surround you with light and maybe someday that light would destroy the darkness inside of you." Cloud couldn't help but smile then...."You are enough....You always seem to bring me back...." "Thats the spirit Cloud. Never give up alright." Her touch soothed his head ache....He closed his eyes as she wiped her thumb on his cheek. He felt a lot better now that she was there to help him through this....He was not a lone in this one...."I love you....So much...." He said that as he opened his eyes again.....
