Sephiroth walks in, waking Cloud up with the noise

Cloud Strife sits up... remaining silent....

Sephiroth goes into the bedroom, leaning against the doorframe to look at Cloud. Has his gloves off, his arms visible with their nice muscles

Cloud Strife looks at Sephiroth then looks down at his hands... which are fumbling in his lap

Sephiroth says, "sleeping again?"

Cloud Strife nods

Sephiroth straitens himself out and walks to the bed

Sephiroth says, "that doesn't seem fair seeing that I have to work all day. I guess this means you'll have no excuses tonight though"

Sephiroth grins

Cloud Strife frowns... and keeps his eyes lowered

Sephiroth places his hand under Cloud's chin and lifts it up so he can see his eyes

Cloud Strife tries to hide the fear... and the inner fire that burns within....

Sephiroth says, "Don't try to pull anything on me ... or I'll hurt you worse then last time"

Cloud Strife says, "I wont.... I have nothing like that... even at the edge of my mind"

Sephiroth says, "good"

Sephiroth kisses him lightly. Takes off his cloak, flinging it on the chair near the bed. Runs his fingers along Cloud's chest... touching the scars he gave him

Cloud Strife shudders slightly

Sephiroth says, "come on, don't wait"

Cloud Strife removes what he is wearing ... then undresses Sephiroth slowly.... As if he loathes this. Trembles slightly....

Sephiroth stands next to the bed, fully naked

Cloud Strife looks at Sephiroth... then looks down again.... To avoid Sephiroth's seeing his rage and loathing

Sephiroth folds his arms across his chest

Cloud Strife says, "Sephiroth... I don't feel well.... Must I?"

Sephiroth says, "you'll feel worse if you don't "

Cloud Strife says, "Cant you have a little pity? You used to.... We used to..."

Sephiroth laughs

Cloud Strife hangs his head even more

Sephiroth is growing angry

Cloud Strife says, "I'll never be sorry for what I did..."

Sephiroth grabs Cloud's hair

Sephiroth says, "you are not making things easy, are you?"

Cloud Strife says, "Of course not...."

Sephiroth says, "I meant, on yourself. You still have yet to learn"

Cloud Strife says, "Think I ever will?"

Sephiroth pulls his hair

Cloud Strife winces

Sephiroth tosses him up against the corner that the bed is next to

Cloud Strife coughs slightly

Sephiroth gets up on the bed

Cloud Strife says, "Why do you waste your time with me.... When you can find someone else to cheat on?"

Sephiroth says, "because you belong to me"

Cloud Strife says, "Yes... that's what they say... perhaps you do own my body.... But not my mind..."

Sephiroth says, "what would I want of you mind?"

Sephiroth grins evilly

Cloud Strife says, "Yes I know... you are just a sex fiend... Zack is better of dead"

Sephiroth punches him in the jaw

Sephiroth says, "Shut up"

Cloud Strife sees stars for a moment

Cloud Strife says, "Poor Zack... gullible fool... got him drunk.... I enjoyed cutting him to ribbons..."

Sephiroth clutches his neck, getting visibly angry. Squeezes Cloud's air off

Cloud Strife is just trying to goad Sephiroth into killing him

Sephiroth grabs his rope. Ties Cloud's arms, Cloud knows what this means when they are both naked. Fastens him to the bed rail

Cloud Strife closes his eyes and represses a shudder

Sephiroth says, "you are making me mad tonight"

Sephiroth ties Cloud down so Cloud is looking at the bed

Cloud Strife says, "Its not like you loathe sleeping with Zack's murderer"

Sephiroth says, "sleeping... *laughs* "

Sephiroth presses his hands into Cloud's shoulder blades as he gets on top of him

Cloud Strife closes his eyes... not enjoying the fact that he is being defiled... but knowing he can do nothing to stop it

Sephiroth is very violent as he uses him

Cloud Strife digs his fingers into the blankets... trying to block out the pain

Sephiroth digs his fingers into Cloud's shoulder, growling in a twisted pleasure as he uses him

Cloud Strife groans in a mixture of pleasure and pain

Cloud Strife o O (This only makes me to hate you more... someday I will send you to see Zack.... you wont be able to use me forever....)

Sephiroth holds onto him tightly. Presses harder as pretty much roars loudly

Cloud Strife sobs weakly... thinking of how much he hates Sephiroth

Sephiroth laughs as he hears Cloud sobbing. Finishes with him after a while. Gets off him. Studies him from next to the bed

Cloud Strife immediately curls into a tight ball when sephiroth gets off of him

Sephiroth laughs some more

Cloud Strife o O (Someday I will be the one to laugh...)

Sephiroth says, "How you ever made it as a SOLDIER. Heh heh"

Cloud Strife says, "Things were different then.... I wasn't abused... and sick... in some godforsaken desert"

Sephiroth says, "sick... heh heh, now what do you have?"

Cloud Strife says, "heat exhaustion.... Along with internal injuries"

Sephiroth grins

Sephiroth says, "and what injuries might those be?"

Cloud Strife says, "Like you would understand. You probably failed your first aid course..."

Sephiroth says, "no"

Cloud Strife says, "I believe in one of our 'sessions' you may have damaged one of my kidneys... thank you..."

Sephiroth grins

Sephiroth says, "and why do you believe that?"

Cloud Strife says, "It burns when I go to the bathroom... Hurts like a bitch..."

Sephiroth chuckles

Sephiroth says, "and I care why?"

Cloud Strife says, "Well who cares if you care.... I certainly do. Constant throbbing in my side... towards my back... yes I think it's damaged..."

Sephiroth looks at his side, grinning evilly. Pokes his side with two fingers

Cloud Strife cries out loudly

Sephiroth laughs

Sephiroth says, "you'll have to go get that checked on your own"

Cloud Strife gags

Cloud Strife says, "Like Im going to bother... Anything that brings me closer to death's door is welcome"

Sephiroth says, "then die in horrible pain"

Sephiroth gets his face closer to his

Sephiroth says, "you really want to die?"

Cloud Strife says, "Anything to be free of you"

Sephiroth says, "hmm, none of that. I'll not let you be free of me, not yet"

Cloud Strife says, "Oh what we used to be.... Before I found you cheating on me..."

Sephiroth says, "Ironic... that you're stupidity in being jealous... caused you this much pain"

Cloud Strife says, "I would have gotten away..."

Sephiroth says, "how?"

Cloud Strife says, "Just a slip up in the plan..."

Sephiroth says, "and what was this plan of yours?"

Cloud Strife says, "How did I know his screams were going to cause a rockslide and trap me there?"

Sephiroth glares at him, but settles down seeming to understand his plan right now

Cloud Strife says, "What screams they were... slurred but Im sure... I heard him call your name"

Sephiroth remains disaplened

Sephiroth says, "oh really?"

Cloud Strife closes his eyes... and tries to ignore the pain seeping through his body

Cloud Strife says, "hmm... yes. He was quite drunk... I told him I'd walk him home.... He followed quite willingly"

Sephiroth folds his arms

Cloud Strife says, "What was Ironic... I used his own sword... Led him out of the town... into the hills... figured I would kill him and the monsters would dispense of the evidence"

Sephiroth listens, looking impassive

Cloud Strife says, "Found a shallow cave... and pushed him in... Took his sword while he struggled... slashed him up... he was still alive.... Screamed... caused a cave in... I dug myself out ... only to come face to face with a search party.... Must have taken some time... it was only obvious what I had done... I was still holding his sword... spattered with his blood... thing is.... He was alive... up until perhaps a few hours.... Before I got out... crying... "

Sephiroth his face darkens despite how cold he's trying to stay

Cloud Strife says, "I figured I would have killed him.... Cleaned up.... And returned... nothing said... they'd find his bits and pieces scattered about by the scavengers... and figured he had wandered of drunk and gotten taken down"

Sephiroth says, "*trying to sound calm* anything else?"

Cloud Strife says, "I would have been there to comfort you in your loss.... You would have been mine again..."

Sephiroth says, "oh really? *Very cold tone*"

Cloud Strife laughs softly.... But winces

Sephiroth says, "you are a murderer"

Cloud Strife says, "yes... I am. And I deserve all that I get..."

Sephiroth says, "yes, you do"

Cloud Strife says, "And you deserved what you got... for cheating on me.... His death"

Sephiroth laughs dryly

Sephiroth says, "you killed someone who did you no harm?"

Sephiroth is really, really, angry but is suppressing it

Cloud Strife says, "he did harm me. He made you hurt my heart.... The most grievous damage you can do to any man... so pain for pain"

Sephiroth says, "Is it worth this?"

Cloud Strife says, "Perhaps... Your lover lies dead.... Stone cold.... To see the look of pain on your face... when you don't think I am looking.... Is well worth what I must endure"

Sephiroth grows pitch black. Walks out of the room instead

Cloud Strife chuckles to himself.... And winces again....

Cloud Strife says, "Oh yes Sephiroth.... That look on your face... what I just saw.... You're angry... hurting.... Enjoy..."

Cloud Strife says, "My he is really angry... too bad it hurts too much to enjoy it fully. I loved you Sephiroth.... This was all meant to make you mine again... but it failed"

Cloud Strife wishes he wasn't tied up.... So he could see the look on Sephiroth's face as he does this

Cloud Strife says, "I'd love to see if you are crying... He's probably crying in there... wish I could see it... or at least hear"

Cloud Strife squinches around but cant move much due to his arms tied

Cloud Strife feels a little give in the rope... and tugs harder

Cloud Strife says, "Carelessness like this is what got Zack killed..."

Cloud Strife works his wrists out of the rope. Pulls on his clothing... wincing and peers out into the other room

Sephiroth is out on the balcony; his palms are pressed into his eyes

Cloud Strife slinks to where he can see Sephiroth.... But where he hopes Sephiroth can not see him

Sephiroth his long hair drapes onto the balcony, cause he's knelling on the ground

Cloud Strife says, "*to himself* Are we crying Sephiroth? You really did love him... "

Cloud Strife feels a strange sensation.... A pang of guilt

Sephiroth his hair drapes around his crotch, covering him from other views. Is breathing shakily

Cloud Strife says, "Perhaps I will not be as cold anymore..."

Cloud Strife clutches his side

Cloud Strife says, "Stupid thing...."

Sephiroth is still in this position, rocking slightly

Cloud Strife finds himself wanting to comfort Sephiroth... but knows that would only end in pain for himself

Sephiroth he seems to be murmuring something

Cloud Strife says, "Perhaps... I will go to the hospital.... Though I hope you wont mangle me when you find out I've escaped"

Cloud Strife edges closer to hear what Sephiroth is saying

Sephiroth is murmuring something about Zack

Cloud Strife shakes his head

Sephiroth murmurs about wanting him here

Cloud Strife says, "Im sorry... he can't be here...."

Sephiroth leans his head on the ground, his hair covering his whole body

Cloud Strife says, "I killed him because I couldn't bear of another man having you..."

Sephiroth doesn't hear Cloud at all

Cloud Strife says, "Insane rage and jealousy.... What it does to ones mind..."

Cloud Strife edges a little closer

Sephiroth stays where he was

Cloud Strife says, "You know Im here don't you? I've never been able to sneak up on you before... or are you so fraught with pain... and anger... that you aren't even aware?"

Sephiroth seems to be out of it

Cloud Strife says, "Look at what I've done to you..."

Cloud Strife reaches out... slowly... and strokes his fingers through Sephiroth's hair.... Forgetting for a moment how much he hates him

Sephiroth seems to have fallen asleep

Cloud Strife says, "You don't know your little captive is free to wander off now do you?"

Cloud Strife stands... and puts his hand on his side again. Remembers how much he hates sephiroth... and almost kicks him... but thinks better

Sephiroth seems to have cried himself to sleep

Cloud Strife says, "Poor thing.... No time to weep over you... I need medical attention..."

Cloud Strife wanders out of the house and towards the small building dubbed the hospital. Signs himself in and sits in the waiting room for someone to examine him... but knows it could probably take all day

Aeris Gainsborough walks over to Cloud

Aeris Gainsborough says, "hi!"

Aeris Gainsborough smiles warmly

Cloud Strife says, "hi"

Aeris Gainsborough takes a look at what he wrote when he signed in

Aeris Gainsborough says, "oh, well, we'd better get that looked at"

Aeris Gainsborough holds out her hand to him

Cloud Strife takes Aeris' hand and pulls himself to his feet....

Aeris Gainsborough leads him to a bed

Aeris Gainsborough says, "lay down please"

Cloud Strife wonders what a nice girl like this is doing in a camp like this... lies down

Aeris Gainsborough says, "please take off your shirt"

Cloud Strife complies

Aeris Gainsborough gently touches his side

Cloud Strife winces

Aeris Gainsborough says, "how did this happen?"

Cloud Strife says, "I got kicked.... Or was it punched? I don't quite remember"

Aeris Gainsborough says, "Oh, and, why did this happen might I ask?"

Cloud Strife says, "Part of my punishment I suppose"

Aeris Gainsborough nods slowly and closes her eyes

Cloud Strife prays that she doesn't look at his back.... Because subtle stinging attests to the fact that Sephiroth's claw marks are still there from earlier in the evening

Aeris Gainsborough says, "roll over please"

Aeris Gainsborough opens her eyes

Cloud Strife grimaces and does so

Aeris Gainsborough looks at the marks. Lays her fingers on the sensitive kidney part

Cloud Strife says, "Ai! "

Aeris Gainsborough says, "hmm, this isn't good"

Aeris Gainsborough says, "What is you name?"

Cloud Strife says, "Cloud"

Aeris Gainsborough says, "well Cloud, I'm afraid you'll be stuck on this bed for a while"

Cloud Strife says, "Great... What's wrong with me?"

Aeris Gainsborough looks at him

Cloud Strife sees a bright side to this... as Sephiroth cant harm him whilst he is here

Aeris Gainsborough says, "You've got a puncture in your kidney"

Cloud Strife says, "Sounds painful... which I assure you it is"

Aeris Gainsborough leans closer to him

Aeris Gainsborough says, "who did that to you may I ask? *Whispers*"

Cloud Strife says, "Mmm? Sephiroth... he owns me.... Due to my crimes"

Aeris Gainsborough says, "What did you do?"

Cloud Strife says, "Killed his lover in a fit of Rage"

Aeris Gainsborough blinks

Aeris Gainsborough says, "oh, I'm sorry"

Cloud Strife says, "Don't be... I deserve all that I get"

Aeris Gainsborough nods slowly

Aeris Gainsborough says, "well, you rest up here, alright?"

Cloud Strife says, "Thanks... I guess.... It's better than being abused... May I ask what you are doing here?"

Aeris Gainsborough says, "oh, just volunteering"

Cloud Strife rolls himself over onto his back and sighs

Cloud Strife walks into the house.... Wishing he was still safe at the hospital"

Sephiroth is lying in bed

Cloud Strife says, "Im sure you'll put me back there shortly"

Cloud Strife walks into the bedroom

Sephiroth isn't dressed, is just lying there. One arm across his eyes

Cloud Strife looks at Sephiroth

Cloud Strife says, "Im home... if you even care"

Sephiroth says, "hmm, took you long enough"

Cloud Strife says, "all better... although ... please lay off punching me in the kidneys..."

Sephiroth stays where he is

Cloud Strife says, "took me long enough? "

Sephiroth says, "yes"

Cloud Strife says, "Well Im sorry I didn't heal faster... Am I allowed to have something to eat? The food they had there was terrible"

Sephiroth says, "go ahead"

Cloud Strife sighs... and goes into the kitchen... selecting a few things and sitting down at the table to eat them leisurely

Sephiroth hasn't moved sine Cloud got back

Cloud Strife finishes and returns to the bedroom

Cloud Strife says, "Sephiroth... what's eating you?"

Sephiroth says, "you should know"

Cloud Strife sighs

Cloud Strife says, "Yeah... I do know. I'll go live in a tent... and work like the rest of em then... I have to pay for my crimes..."

Sephiroth says, "no, you stay here"

Cloud Strife says, "That girl in the hospital was real nice.... Too nice to last very long here..."

Sephiroth says, "hmm, what was her name?"

Cloud Strife says, "Um... Aeris I think"

Cloud Strife sits down on the end of the bed

Cloud Strife says, "Why do you keep me around if I cause you obvious pain?"

Sephiroth moves his arm away, his green eyes flash

Sephiroth says, "you know why"

Cloud Strife says, "Yeah yeah...."

Cloud Strife sighs and swings his legs

Sephiroth puts his arm back over his eyes

Cloud Strife says, "You were crying out on the balcony"

Sephiroth moves his arm away and glares at Cloud

Sephiroth says, "what are you talking about?"

Cloud Strife says, "The rope broke... I saw you lying out on the balcony"

Sephiroth says, "and?"

Cloud Strife says, "Mumbling about Zack.... You fell asleep. Wanna know something Sephiroth?"

Sephiroth says, "what?"

Cloud Strife says, "I finally felt guilty when I saw you like that"

Sephiroth says, "really?"

Cloud Strife says, "yeah. Not that it changes anything"

Cloud Strife lies back on the bed...

Sephiroth sighs
