Cloud was all by himself today. As he entered Nibelheim....He wanted to be a lone....He visited his mother's grave. And gave her flowers. As he knelt beside her grave...."Mom...I know it's been a while. I'm sorry about that. I just...I'm going through a lot of things right now. I really need you right now. I'm scared. I've fought my way so far and here is where it's ended up with me. Some hero huh? The world sees me as that. But I don't see myself as that." Cloud stopped as he heard a noise from behind him.....He at once grabbed his sword off the ground.....He laid it there in honor and respect for his mother....
Cloud looked around the grave yard....And off towards the town. It was all quiet. This place was a grave yard...no one was here....Alot of people evacuated since the main attack on Midgar had happened.....

Why she still remained in that world even after the struggling cease was a mystery even to her. For now Lightning hopped of finding some of her comrades here. After separating in their home world Cocoon she thought that some might travel to other worlds and maybe come here. Her main priority was to search for her sister but after finding her and insured her safety Lightning moved to the next step.
She walked aimlessly around this world and somehow ended up in a small town called Nibelheim. Glancing around as she walked down the streets Lightning noticed that there was no one around for miles the town was completely empty. Did everyone evacuate or were they just hiding in their homes after that incident with the Darkness? Well she couldn’t really blame them but the thing was where would they go?
Walking for a few more minutes Lightning saw someone as she neared a graveyard but from the distance she couldn't tell if it was friend or foe. She reached for her sword but was still to draw it. She would only when it was necessarily.
Taking a few more steps closer Lighting noticed some faint but familiar aspects of someone she knew spiky blond hair, wearing a soldier uniform and wielding a huge sword... She guessed it could only be one person Cloud. They have met before but only briefly in Destiny Island and in Midgar form what she remembered during the fight.

Cloud turned around and saw some one in the distance. It looked like some one he met before. And then she got closer. He did know her. Lightning. She was the girl that helped him once in Midgar and before that they had met at Destiny Island. Cloud sheathed his huge sword back on his back as he realized who it was.
Cloud sighed as he walked over to her. But stayed a good distance from her. But close enough for her to see who he was.
"Lightning?" He asked. His voice was calm now. And he had not had any of those attacks happen to him lately. He was really searching the answer of that from his dead mother. But even he knew that she would never be able to give him the answer he wants.
Cloud looked at Lightning in the eyes. His Mako Blue eyes gleamed in the sun light. The cool air blew his spikes slightly. Lightning would see the calm expression he carried. But Lightning didn't know him well enough to know what was really happening to him right now....

Lightning nodded taking a step closer. She eased her hand away from her Blaze Edge as she looked at Cloud for a few seconds before responding. "Didn't think anyone will be out here after the attack from the Darkness..." She paused pacing around as she glanced at her surroundings. After the attack from the dark side alot of towns in this world were destroyed.
She wondered if they would be able to rebuilt this world again. What she really wanted to know though was what were the ones from the Darkness really after? Lightning was sure they didn't come to this world without a good reason but she was yet to find that out.
"So what are you doing here?" She simply asked turning to face him again. For now she would just try and gather information. She sighed shaking her head Lightning already had enough on her mind already without having to worry about the Darkness.

"Didn't think anyone will be out here after the attack from the Darkness..." "Well everyone has evacuated this little town....No one else is here....They travel far...As far as possible to escape the Darkness....." "So what are you doing here?"
"Just paying respects to my mom...." Cloud looked back at her grave....."This is my home town....What about you?" Cloud asked as he tried his best to hide what he was really feeling....He only hoped that his powers never lost control again.....He didn't know Lightning very well...But he didn't want to hurt her....She helped him out once....

"I see..." Lightning paused glancing around the surroundings. "I didn't think I would see you again... " She helped him once in Midgar but they were so far away from that city and they happened to meet again. She shook her head with disbelieve taking a step back to look at the graves. "
She paused at the question trying to think of a reason. Why was she still there and in this town? "I really don't know what I am still doing here." Lightning let out a small laugh at that shaking her head again. She should be back in Cocoon trying to find a way to save that world not here but yet she was.

"I see..." "I didn't think I would see you again... " "I really don't know what I am still doing here."
"Yeah, I didn't think I'd see you again either. So, you don't know why you're here? Maybe I can help..." Cloud smiled kindly up at her. He was willing to help. But she didn't know why she was here....? That was a bit odd...
Cloud walked up to her when he knew he had nothing to fear about her. "You have to have a reason to be here right?" Cloud asked. As he stood still against the wind.....

"A reason..." Lightning paused to think about that 'maybe there was one...' "I was just looking for someone... but now that I thought about this I don't know why she would be in this world." Taking a few steps forward as she glanced up at the sky and then the surrounding."Everywhere I go the world are just so different from mine..." She thought out loud before turning to face Cloud again.
"Are you trying to protect this place form Darkness... is that why your still here?" She asked thinking of her home Cocoon. She was once lost between two decisions but with a help from a friend she found her path and a reason to save her world.

"A reason..." "I was just looking for someone... but now that I thought about this I don't know why she would be in this world." "Are you trying to protect this place form Darkness... is that why your still here?" She wanted to know weather he was here because he was defending his home town? Maybe. But he was not here for that reason. "I just...wanted to see my mother before this place was destroyed to...Stupid huh? A grown man still clinging to his mothers side..." Cloud thought it was stupid at first...But if Lightning really knew why, she would probably not think that was stupid. "I...I'm having trouble. I am in trouble. The will reason I'm here, is because my mom, was the one person I could talk to....I never knew my dad. So If I ever had any thing to ask that I couldn't ask my friends, I'd come here....And so far no answer from her....."

"Your mother..." Lightning rarely ever smiled but that moment as she thought about her own mother a faint but clear smile formed on her lips. "No actually I don't think thats stupid at all... it just shows how much you care about your family..." She added before letting that smile fade. Her eyes diverted for a few seconds to glanced around the graveyard surroundings. Always being so cautious even in a staring world such as this where she didn't expect any PSI-COM to attack butsince she was a former soldier Lightning was taught to always be on her guard.
Lightning listened to his explanation. She could understand that why? She too sometimes hid things from her sister Serah just to keep her safe or not worry her too much but somehow Serah always knew when Lightning hid anything. "Guess she knows me to well" She muttered those words to herself shaking her head with another smile but this one was broader. Thinking about her sister always brought a smile to her lips and now that she was safe Lightning could stop worrying and start thinking of her next step.
"Instead of trying to help me then how about letting me help you... if you could confide your problems in a strainer" She added. For some reason the thought of helping others came to her mind. Maybe while she was there she could learn more as well and perhaps it was her sister who influenced her to care and try to help those around her more.
This was the least she could do while she was there. Turning to Cloud she waited for his responcer but would he agree to let her help if he knew who she truly was? Even though Lightning went against the fal'Cie in her home she was still known as an enemy to other worlds. But she never cared for that. People could believe what they wanted to. Their thoughts never really bothered her and if someone would try and attack that would just add another enemy to her list. It was as simple as that to her. Lightning was willing to help but not hesitate to fight if she had to.

"Your mother..." "No actually I don't think thats stupid at all... it just shows how much you care about your family..." Cloud looked up when she said that. She would at once see the sad in his Mako Blue eyes.
"Guess she knows me to well" "Instead of trying to help me then how about letting me help you... if you could confide your problems in a strainer"
"You'd want to help me? I guess Tifa would be okay with this. Oh she's my girl friend by the way. There are even some things I..I can't tell her...And I hate myself for it....I'm hiding things from her again. But...I..."
Lightning would see that he was about to have a nervous break down....He's hid this so much inside where no one can get to it...That it was getting to the boiling point......
"You have a sister?" Cloud managed to ask. As he looked down again...He was trying to hide his eyes from her. He was good at that. Hiding things....

From the moment she met him Lightning could tell that Cloud was very open especially towards strangers. They have only met twice and he already opened up to her. 'Was it really that easy to open up to strangers?' Lightning remained silent but listened to his words. "Normally I wouldn't try and help strangers but this time I'm trying something new to see what she meant. "
" So you're keeping things from her..." Lightning said with a shake of her head as if in disapproval however she did the same with her sister Serah but to keep her safe. She knew nothing about relationships as she has never been or was interested in having one. She already had enough problems to handle and didn't have time to worry about anything else.
Then seeing the look in his eyes as if he was about to break. "Well..." Lightning was never comfortable talking about that subject. She hated discussing this with her sister because it always involved Snow who she thought wasn't good enough for her sister. He wasn't even able to protect her but she still listened and tried to help."I would say if you want that relationship to work you are going to have to trust and tell her everything."
She took a step back at the mention of her sister and crossed her arms together. She saw him look down after he asked that question. What was he hiding now? "Yes I do… how did you know?"
