"Is that where your going Cloud?"
"Cloud the Darkness isn't just a bad storm. Its more than that... its worse. Another thing I never told you is that I left this world searching for you and I met up with a few enemies. Sephiroth...... he came back with its power."
"Yes that's where I'm going....I have to say, I'm not to thrilled about you going....So don't be surprised if I try and consult to Sora to not let you....." Cloud sat down on the bed. As he heard the name Sephiroth. He sighed. Cloud thought he destroyed Sephiroth. But the monster did tell him, that he would never be a memory.....Cloud just sighed as he rubbed a hand though his spiky hair.
"So that's it....That's why Sora did not tell me? Tifa, I've not slept one night since I killed Sephiroth. He is in my dreams......He wants to end what he started with me...He wants me dead...." He looked up at Tifa....Concerned that he just worries he half to death now....

"What!!!" He acted just like she thought he would. Cloud wasn't going to try and stop Tifa from fighting. "Stop it Cloud...... is this what I get for telling you the truth? Whether I go or no thats not your decision to make its mine." Tifa paused taking one deep breath just to calm herself down.
"Cloud I know your trying to protect me....... but I am not a little girl anymore I can take care of myself. What I need is for you to be there to support me. Can you do that?" She waited for an answer hoping that he would say yes this time.

"What!!!"
"Stop it Cloud...... is this what I get for telling you the truth? Whether I go or no thats not your decision to make its mine."
"You're right....I'm sorry...You're right."
"Cloud I know your trying to protect me....... but I am not a little girl anymore I can take care of myself. What I need is for you to be there to support me. Can you do that?"
Cloud gave her a warm smile then.
"Yes. I can..." He said as he placed his hand on her shoulder....It was hard for him though. To say that. He knew she was not a little girl any more....He swore though that he would protect her....And he has not broken that promise....He's saved her a couple of times as well....But it was like his obligation. He remembered when she fell when they were kids.....He still felt responsible for that. Even though she said it was not his fault.....
"It's just hard Tifa. I know you can take care of yourself. It's just....ever since your father died....I...I told him...that I would protect you till I die....I hoped he heard me....I told him, I was sorry for what happened to you. And that it was my fault....I was not strong enough to save you that day....I was so scared that you would....die." He then looked down and turned away from her.....He sighed as he folded his arms across his chest.....

"You will?" He listened to her. Tifa thought that it would take her more to convince Cloud but no what she just said seemed to be enough. Still she could tell that he was against this idea of her fighting the Darkness, but to hear him say that made her believe that there was actually hope for them yet.
"Thank you Cloud for understanding. I hoped you would finally see me as a fighter than a little girl." She smiled looking at him before getting up. Then he came in to her mind and that smile faded as quickly as it came. "Do you think he will come back here……? That Sephiroth will attack us again?"

"You will?"
"Thank you Cloud for understanding. I hoped you would finally see me as a fighter than a little girl."
"Do you think he will come back here……? That Sephiroth will attack us again?"
"I don't know. The last thing he said to me, was that he would never be a memory....He might try. But, I won't let him step one foot in front of you..." He said that as he turned back around.....He moved closer to her. So close he could kiss her. He placed a kiss on her lips. He wanted more....
"I have one request...."

Did he just? Tifa shook her head at the though she just imagined it right that he kissed her. She looked up and deep in his Mako blue eyes. Those eyes they were amazing. Tifa felt that she could gaze into them forever. She would give anything to just be with him.
Cloud they ever be together? Could she now open up and express her feeling to him and would he accept them? All those questions raced in her mind. Tifa was lost in her own thought.
Gazing deeper into those eyes of his she then heard him ask for something and was brought back to reality by the sound of his voice. "A request whats that?"

"A request whats that?"
"Wait for me. See, I have to find my way to live in this world....And....If I don't, then I could never be with you like I want...I'll keep pushing you away...And, I can't hurt you any more. Just give me this request....As soon as I hear what is going on with Sora and the others.....I'll tell you everything...Please, just a few more months....That's all I ask....." He really wanted her....He wanted to hold her and kiss her longer....But he probably gave her an idea on how he truly felt about her.......With that short kiss....He swallowed hard as he looked into her own eyes....They were so beautiful....She was beautiful.....Did she know how much he needed her?

With a sighed Tifa slowly got up and turned to look out of her window. "Your asking me not to go...... just to wait here till you come back?" She lowered her head but pushed her hair back so it wouldn't fall down on her face. "Cloud I have waited for you all my life, and I am still waiting. I am just tired I don't know if I can do that. You say you won't push me away but your doing it now. I don't understand why cant we go together?"

"Your asking me not to go...... just to wait here till you come back?"
"Okay, I guess that came out the wrong way...."
"Cloud I have waited for you all my life, and I am still waiting. I am just tired I don't know if I can do that. You say you won't push me away but your doing it now. I don't understand why cant we go together?"
"You're right. But the reason why we can't go together is because I have another job asked by Sora...To recruit some heroes from distant lands....But, I guess that's not an excuse to not let you join me.....For get about the request. It's just not the right time....For us to be together.....Could you be with me during this time...? Waiting some more every night...Worried if I would come home...or not? That's one thing I think about...I think about you a lot Tifa...I know how you worry....I want to be with you more than any thing....I just can't right now...." He had walked over right behind her.....and placed his hand on her shoulder....He probably just broke her heart....

Tifa never looked up. She just kept her eyes focused on the ground trying not to cry but that was so hard right now. At those words her heart just sank. Was he playing with her emotions, kissing her and then telling her he couldn't be with her? Cloud would know exactly how she felt. It was no secret that she had feelings for him everyone knew.
"I am done waiting, I am tired of that...... I can understand if you don't want to be with me you can tell me that if your in love with someone else. Tell me if you are thats better than saying you want to be with me and then crushing my hopes." It was so hard not to cry now and a few tears did fall down her cheeks.

"No...That's not it. There is no one else....I promise you that....Tifa." He reached out and wiped away her tears that were falling.....He felt bad now....Man he was so not good at this sorta thing.....How do you say I love you? Why did he have to kiss her? He just did crush her right there....he knew how she felt....He knew she was in love with him....Other wise why would she ask if he was seeing some one else.....? "I just don't know how to say those three little words to you correctly....I don't want to say them, and then some thing happens....But I do Tifa....Believe me I do.....I want to be with you....Believe me that I do....I know how you feel about me....I feel the same way....."
Was this the right time to say I love you? He was not sure....She gave him a lot to think about......

Tifa only looked down but she let him wipe away her tears. Tifa just didn't know what to believe anymore. One minute it was as if he was ready to say he loved her too and the next....... It was as if he didn't want to be with her. After a few more minutes she lifted her head to look at him. Her eyes were still filled with sadness but she held back the rest of her tears. "Cloud its fine..... Forget what I said I will be okay. I am just tired" That was half true, even though the bar was closed for the day she still woke up early to clean the place.

"Cloud its fine..... Forget what I said I will be okay. I am just tired"
"I know. I'm tired to. Can we just lay down together today? Tifa, I've decided. That I need to be here with you now. Just please let me be with you....I'm....I'm scared. You said that , that promise we made was long over....Can we make a new one?"
Cloud saw her tears. He continued to wipe them away for her. He wanted to say "I love you." so badly....His hand started to tremble as he wiped her tears away again. Why was love so complicated?

Tifa's tears soon stopped and she wiped the last ones off herself. "You want to lay down with me.......?" She looked at him a bit confused his words just kept changing from minute to minute, but she nodded Tifa wanted that too. He also wanted to make a new promise, but what could that be? "Cloud you don't have to do this for me..... but if you want to make a new promise then alright"

"You want to lay down with me.......?"
"Yes...Please." He wanted a few hours to be peaceful before he left.....
"Cloud you don't have to do this for me..... but if you want to make a new promise then alright"
Cloud actually gave her a sincere smile.
"Okay. How bout instead of one of us being the hero, how bout both of us....When one of us in trouble, the other will do what ever possible to save them...."
Cloud took her hand in his then. And rubbed the top of her hand gently. And led her to his bed as he sat on it...hoping that she would soon join him.....
"I...I want nothing but peace and love for the both of us.....Do you want that?"
