Sephiroth looks at Cloud as Cloud wakes in his arms

Cloud Strife says, "Seph?"

Sephiroth smiles

Sephiroth says, "you slept a long time"

Cloud Strife says, "I remember... Nibelheim... ShinRa... burnt down.... "

Sephiroth nods sadly

Cloud Strife says, "And Zack... god what a bastard..."

Sephiroth says, "yes, he got what he deserved"

Cloud Strife says, "Makes me wonder what they did to me to make me forget"

Sephiroth says, "so do I. what else do you remember?"

Cloud Strife says, "trying to scream... when I saw you falling"

Sephiroth says, "you saw me falling?"

Cloud Strife says, "Before I blacked out"

Sephiroth says, "I had thought they had killed you ... or that you were dying"

Cloud Strife says, "I think I was... Hurt so bad...."

Sephiroth says, "anything other then that day you remember?"

Cloud Strife says, "A lot of wonderful times together"

Sephiroth smiles more

Sephiroth says, "really?"

Cloud Strife says, "our first kiss. First time... How I was too tired to move... or go to my drills that morning"

Sephiroth sighs softly in happiness

Sephiroth says, "I remember...."

Cloud Strife says, "how you whipped my ass into shape and helped me become a true Soldier. Lots of stuff is fuzzy though... Im sure it'll come back"

Sephiroth says, "yes, I hope so"

Cloud Strife says, "Hmm... We were sitting in about the same place... "

Sephiroth says, "yes...."

Cloud Strife says, "Tifa was on the table in the other room...."

Sephiroth says, "when Tifa had fainted, and we brought her down here"

Cloud Strife smiles

Sephiroth places his gloveless hand to Cloud's face gently

Cloud Strife says, "Poor Tifa... poor Aeris for that matter as well... I'm taken..."

Cloud Strife chuckles

Sephiroth says, "yes"

Sephiroth says, "I've missed you"

Cloud Strife says, "I gave you my heart Seph... I dunno what they did to me but it musta been hell to have me forget that"

Sephiroth says, "I have so much I need to tell you"

Sephiroth kisses Cloud for the first time in five years, feeling the same passion they both enjoyed from those days

Sephiroth says, "First off, I know the full truth now"

Cloud Strife says, "Hmm?"

Sephiroth says, "Jenova is the Calamity from the sky.... Not an Ancient ... but still, the destiny is the same. I will be the ruler of this planet"

Cloud Strife nods

Sephiroth says, "and I shall destroy the worthless creatures that have stolen it"

Cloud Strife says, "That doesn't include me... does it?"

Sephiroth says, "but, to do that, I need to find the Temple of the Ancients. No, you are not worthless, especially not to me"

Sephiroth kisses him again, passionately

Cloud Strife says, "The Prez made me feel worthless... I still have dreams sometimes..."

Cloud Strife Shudders

Sephiroth says, "after the temple, I shall make my way to the promised lands. That is where the Reunion will be. Jenova will be there ... the Calamity from the sky, and all will be one"

Cloud Strife says, "What's that mean?"

Sephiroth looks at Cloud

Sephiroth says, "It's a little hard to explain"

Cloud Strife says, "It sounds... kinda... bad"

Sephiroth levitates off the ground, caring Cloud with him

Sephiroth says, "how so?"

Cloud Strife says, "Whoa... Whose all gonna be one?"

Sephiroth says, "those taking place in the reunion. The Jenova clones that ... Hojo... made"

Cloud Strife says, "Wont that take their individuality away? Or they don't have any?"

Sephiroth says, "they don't have any"

Cloud Strife says, "Ahh... what about you Seph?"

Sephiroth looks into Cloud's eyes

Sephiroth says, "I shall lead the reunion, with Jenova"

Cloud Strife says, "Am I gonna lose you?"

Sephiroth says, "no"

Sephiroth kisses Cloud again for reassurance

Cloud Strife says, "Mm... Good.... And when did you learn to fly?"

Sephiroth says, "When I became a traveler of the life stream. I've learned a few things from mother, her power"

Sephiroth o O (can you hear me in your mind my love?)

Cloud Strife o O (?)

Sephiroth says, "I used to only know the strength. Now I know other powers"

Cloud Strife says, "Wow... and it still hasnt changed your love for me?"

Sephiroth says, "no, I thought about you all the time"

Cloud Strife says, "Mm... Im glad... Im sorry all I could think about was hurting you... It wasn't.... My choice"

Sephiroth says, "I understand. It makes me want to kill those traitors more"

Cloud Strife says, "Yes... I remember now...."

Cloud Strife falters slightly

Cloud Strife says, "Even Rufus?"

Sephiroth says, "Cloud, you didn't hear what Zack said to me before he died... when he tried to attack me"

Cloud Strife says, "What did he say?"

Sephiroth says, "he told me... that his orders came from the vice president, to destroy the rebels opposing ShinRa control "

Cloud Strife says, "So Rufus..."

Sephiroth says, "He's the reason your town was killed"

Cloud Strife says, "He... he had my mother killed... Tifa's father.... The townspeople?"

Cloud Strife holds his head as a strange buzzing and blinding whiteness flashes in his brain for a moment

Cloud Strife says, "Mph...."

Sephiroth brushes Cloud's hair back, and lands on his feet softly

Cloud Strife says, "Still my same old love... cept... you're a lot more powerful"

Sephiroth says, "yes"

Sephiroth smiles

Cloud Strife says, "I'm sure you can tire me out more so than before now"

Sephiroth says, "yes, I could"

Cloud Strife smiles

Cloud Strife says, "Seph... I fell for the guy... who killed my town..."

Sephiroth places his gloveless finger on Cloud's nose

Cloud Strife says, "I pitied him.... Wanted to help him.... But he murdered my mother...indirectly...."

Sephiroth says, "you didn't know ... and you had been convinced that it was my fault. So, I understand"

Cloud Strife says, "I still feel bad"

Sephiroth says, "about what?"

Cloud Strife says, "I betrayed you Seph... sort of"

Sephiroth says, "no, I forgive you, since you didn't know"

Cloud Strife says, "Okay... as long as you can forgive"

Sephiroth kisses Cloud's mouth sweetly

Sephiroth says, "always my love"

Cloud Strife says, "Mm. you really love me...no more unsurity.... I know you are mine... and I am yours. Still want me to grow my ponytail back Seph?"

Sephiroth says, "That's ok love. You are fine as yourself. That's what's important"

Cloud Strife says, "Tifa thought it was cute"

Cloud Strife smirks slightly

Sephiroth smiles

Cloud Strife says, "It's been five years... "

Sephiroth says, "I know "

Cloud Strife says, "You've... waited for me these five years Seph? I know I've been sleeping around... and I feel terrible"

Sephiroth says, "I've been in the life stream, trapped there, for the last 5 years"

Cloud Strife says, "Really?"

Sephiroth says, "and, you didn't know ... so don't feel bad. Yes, really"

Cloud Strife says, "What was it like in there?"

Sephiroth says, "Hard to explain. I learned a lot. That is why I'm actually superior to the Cetra"

Cloud Strife says, "Superior to me too"

Sephiroth says, "I became a traveler of the life stream and absorbed all their knowledge"

Sephiroth looks at Cloud and kisses him again

Sephiroth says, "we must get moving to find the temple soon. The traitors will be looking for me. And for the temple"

Cloud Strife says, "Yeah... I don't think they like me too much either...."

Sephiroth says, "they want the Promised Land as well"

Cloud Strife says, "We can't let them have it"

Sephiroth says, "no"

Cloud Strife says, "I was chased for 2 years by the Turks... and various other Soldiers and Troopers and such..."

Sephiroth phases them out of the mansion and onto the center. Holds Cloud in his arms, hovering a little off the ground

Tifa Lockheart looks out the window of the inn... having just woken up... and sees Cloud and Sephiroth

Tifa Lockheart says, "Mm... Im going back to bed... seeing things..."

Tifa Lockheart meanders outside...

Tifa Lockheart says, "You two a dream?"

Sephiroth says, "hello Tifa... no, "

Sephiroth lands on the ground softly. Lets Cloud stand on his own feet

Tifa Lockheart says, "But..."

Sephiroth chuckles

Tifa Lockheart says, "Isn't Sephiroth a bad guy?"

Sephiroth says, "no, your memory was altered. The ShinRa killed the people of this town and burned it. They obviously rebuilt it as well"

Tifa Lockheart says, "But I remember... you.... Slashed me in the reactor.... *Is still sleepy and somewhat dazed*"

Sephiroth says, "That was Zack. I did not slash you"

Tifa Lockheart says, "Zack?"

Sephiroth nods

Tifa Lockheart says, "Weird..."

Sephiroth nods

Sephiroth says, "now, Cloud and I must go to the Ancient Temple. Then we have to go to the Promised lands"

Tifa Lockheart says, "You're not gonna hurt him are you?"

Sephiroth says, "of course not! I would never hurt him"

Tifa Lockheart says, "What's with you two anyway?"

Sephiroth sighs and chuckles

Tifa Lockheart says, "You seem really cozy together... you fry his brain?"

Sephiroth says, "this reminds me of 5 years ago. If you remember, let me know"

Sephiroth picks Cloud up in his arms again

Sephiroth says, "time to go Cloud"

Cloud Strife relaxes in Sephiroth's arms. Knowing he isn't in any danger

Sephiroth starts to fly up

Tifa Lockheart watches cloud and Sephiroth... still puzzled and willing to pass this off as a dream

Tifa Lockheart says, "Wasn't he trying to kill sephiroth..."

Tifa Lockheart Shakes her head and decides she must have been drinking or something... and goes back to bed

Sephiroth flies up above the buildings. Kisses Cloud softly

Sephiroth says, "we're off love"

Cloud Strife says, "Hmm... It's kinda neat.. never thought I'd see the world from this point of view "

Sephiroth holds tightly to Cloud, smiling as he flies off toward the temple
