Tommy was walking around town, seeing the sights that Anglegrove had to offer. The last place that he visited was the cliffs...he always enjoyed the sounds and breeze of the ocean.

Jason,Trini and Angel were done their pizza and pop and Jason drives them towards the beach and they all get out of the car and walk along the beach and was unaware that Tommy was on the cliff that looked down towards the beach and Angel watches Jason and Trini very carefully,because those two are boyfriend and girlfriend now. Angel didn't mind them being together at all it didn't bother her at all.

Tomy Watched this from the ledge of the cliff and noticed Angel down bellow alone, so heslowly began to desend from the rockface towards the sand.

Angel scans the whole beach and she sees someone coming towards her and she was unaware that it was Tommy that was coming towards her and she slightly smiled at him and wonders how this conversation will be like.

Tommy's shirt wwas unbuttoned and he was still in his jogging shorts as he approached Angel. "Hello again, and may i ask wy are you lying here when you could be riding those waves or playing with your friends?

She shut off her car, grabbed her bag off the passenger seat, and hopped out. The 5 foot 5 girl, with thigh length jet black hair, very pale skin, and a very shapely body with an ample bust, made her way into the house. "I'm home mom!" she called out as she made her way upstairs to her room. She was anxious to get back to her game now that classes were over. Not even dressing out of her school uniform, she plopped down onto her bed and set her bag onto the floor. She flicked on her tv, used her foot to click on her playstation, and picked up the controller.She stretched out on the bed and happily loaded her file when the Final Fantasy 7 game menu came up. She was just starting the 2nd disc Aerith had just been murdered by Sephiroth. Cloud and the others were getting ready to leave the city of ancients. As she got into the game, running around fighting random battles, and searching for as many treasure chests as she could find, the weather outside began to get worse. Soon she heard thunder rattling her windows and the power began to flicker.Anxious, she contemplated turning off her game and just going to sleep. Flashes of lightning could be seen from her window and swiftly, she moved to turn the game station off. As she pressed her finger to the power button, lightning struck the power supply to her house. She screamed as a shock ran up her arm and sizzled throughout her body she flung her head back and squeezed her onyx eyes shut. The shock began to fade and she swayed back, falling onto the floor, sprawled out.Breathing heavy, covered in a sheen of sweat, Amelia tried to remain conscious but was fading in and out. She raised her hand and stared at it, beginning to panic. Her hand was see through! Amelia could see the tv through her hand! She tried to get up, but a wave of dizziness swamped her, and she promptly passed out on her floor. It felt like an eternity later that her eyes fluttered open, blurry objects coming into her range of vision. She heard voices, but was too dizzy to focus. The place she was laying in was cool, and it felt like she was laying on cement but...hadn't she passed out in her room? The last thing she remembered was playing Final Fantasy 7 in her bedroom at her home. She had just been ready to leave the city of ancients with her team on Cloud, Vincent, and Tifa... when...that's right! A lightning storm had rolled into her town in Washington. She had tried to turn off her game...only to...she squeezed her eyes shut, unable to remember exactly what had happened.Where was she?In all actuality, she was laying on the pathway that led out of the city of ancients. Her uniform blouse had opened to the top of her breasts, and her stockings had tears and rips in them. Her long hair was spread out under her thin, small frame, her pale skin still damp from a slight sheen of perspiration. The yellow ribbon in her hair was almost falling out, loosely laying across her chest with random strands of her midnight hued hair. She felt...sick, and weak, and thus, she didn't move just yet. She couldn't see yet, her vision still blurry, so she kept her eyes shut, breathing slowly.
(FF7)Fate's Intervention(Kratos+Anjeru)
Cloud had been running around for quite a while now in this small location, it was surprisingly hard to even contemplate getting out.. and yet for some reason the group relied on him to lead them when it was obvious not even he was quite sure how to get out of the city of ancients. He sort of just started to run around towards locations that could be important later because of the items that the chests contained in parts of them, that and well they had to go through quite a few battles because of his leadership but that meant they would all at least get stronger, well so it seemed ? he had noticed Tifa a few battles ago seemed to learn something new, and .. apart from that seemed to hit a little higher.. but compared to him well, she was not the strongest of the group.. which at points Cloud knew he was not the strongest either.Finally it seemed that Cloud had started to find the right location to head towards and all it had required was for Vincent to point out something Strife had not noticed earlier, and so now they started to follow a pathway when something odd seemed to be occurring, the more he tried to move the harder even thinking started to occur. Even Vincent who usually was the sharpest out of the main leading three had not seemed to notice anything until it had hit them all,.. was this a trap cleverly setup by Sephiroth.. to stop them from getting out of this city of Ancients.. Cloud was unsure and he managed with difficulty to move his arm and grab hold of his buster sword, but other than that nothing could be done.Tifa was having difficulties two before a bright light came between them, it seemed to surge with what seemed like power and it did not seem like an attack but yet something else. It came almost as a pulse and it seemed that it would have taken much Materia to be able to generate such power at such a magnitude.. it was either that or Sephiroth had really done it this time, yet this was not an attack.. it was not hurting anyone but instead just blinding them.. well that was because whatever was happening, was occurring right there in between them all and no matter how hard any of the three tried they could not move to do anything about it.Now that the light had started to die down a little, some of the surging going straight into the ground it seemed they could move a little at least.. yet as he could see more Cloud let his hand slide away from his main blade as a female seemed to be appearing in front of them. It seemed already the others were trying to interact and all he could do was gaze, she did not look like she was from around here.. something about her, and the way that whatever had brought her here.. it had such power.. that it stopped all three of them from moving. ??are you okay ? how did you get here..? ?? even Strife had questions now.. but no answers were seeming to be heard as almost all the surging that had occurred was gone, most of it seemingly absorbed into the floor.His eyes could not help but gaze a little at the females form in front of him, yet he did not gaze for too long knowing Tifa would kick up about it and probably make some comment about being some sort of pervert ? which generally that was not the sort of person Cloud was but this person interested him, apart from the way she appeared anyhow yet he would not instantly trust her since who knew if she was going to help.. or somehow destroy them all with such power.. that was shown earlier. ??Tifa.. Have we got any remaining potions of any kind... or can you see what you can do?... she seems to be hurt, .. or well I guess I don't know.."
(FF7)Fate's Intervention(Kratos+Anjeru)
Amelia heard a voice and it caused a shiver to run down her spine in a sort of weird sense of recognition...Did the man speaking say...Tifa? As in Tifa Lockeheart from her favorite video game? She groaned as Tifa stepped forth with a nod to heal her weary body with a potion. In an instant, she felt like herself again, not a single ache in her entire body.Her eyes fluttered open and those violet hues were found to be looking into a very familiar pair of Mako enhanced eyes. Her eyes would then widen as she jumped up from the ground and moved away from them. She looked wildly around herself, panic settling in as she realized she definitely recognized the place she was in The City of The Ancients."W where am I?" she asked Cloud, looking between Tifa, him, and a very silent, but typically stoic Vincent. She was shaking visibly, her wild hair flowing out behind her, the yellow ribbon fluttering in the slight breeze. "W why am I here? I was at home and then..." she trailed off, realizing if she was indeed in the game and NOT hallucinating that she couldn't very well tell them that. They had no idea they were nothing but a game in her world, controlled by advent gamers like her...or was it the opposite? Was this a different dimension, in which they were real and not simple game characters? She had no idea.
(FF7)Fate's Intervention(Kratos+Anjeru)
Cloud looked at the female now with a slight odd look on his face... he thought for a little longer keeping his thoughts to himself for a moment before walking up to Tifa and whispering into her ear "Look.. i think we should at least lead her out of this place,.. because right now.. she just seems confused lost..and well talking about things to her self that are not making sense..." Vince just watched the group of them before starting to walk Cloud started to walk before stopping" well... first lets get you out of this place.. and as for where we are.. this is the city of the ancients.. the exit is not that far, and then maybe you might recognize something familiar... I am Cloud Strife... over their is Vincent Valentine.. and well thats Tifa Lockheart.. I would not suggest making her angry if their ever comes a chance that you might accidentally cause something... and well you are?"It was all he could really do,.. introduce himself to the confused girl.. and tell her the names of the others so at least if she had a question.. she could address them either by first or last name.. It would not take them long now to get out of this location, they have been going for what felt like hours.. and although it felt partially worth it, well he was getting a little tired of it all really just wanting to get out of this gloomy place.. well that was his opinion on it anyhow.
(FF7)Fate's Intervention(Kratos+Anjeru)
As Cloud introduced himself and the others, Amelia pretended to not know who they were...though she did, because it was the teamshehad put together to fight Jenova's arm after Sephiroth had killed Aerith. At that thought, she realized how Cloud must be feeling. They had all just buried their friend in the lake of the city and as much as Tifa had seen Aerith as her rival for Cloud's heart, she knew the girl had been upset at her friend's passing. "Oh..." her train of thought snapped back into place like two lego pieces coming together. "My name is Amelia Cortez...it's nice to meet you, Cloud." She glanced to the exuberant woman and the stoic man, and managed a small smile. "As well as both you, Vincent and Tifa."The young woman was beginning to feel more and more panicked though it would have been a dream come true to be in front of Cloud and his team members, there was no way it could possibly happen. Was she hallucinating? It couldn't be that, she thought as she glanced down at her hands, then back up it all felt unbelievably real.She smiled at Cloud's words and nodded. "I would like that, very much. I'm afraid I don't know the way" she lied "and I don't feel like being lost..." A small laugh. "Thank you, in advance, for any help you guys give me."
(FF7)Fate's Intervention(Kratos+Anjeru)
No one out of the group was going to get over Aerith ??s loss that quickly, even Tifa who seemed sometimes jealous of the way Cloud.. and the now deceased Aerith.. got along at the time. The burial was a sad time, which not much words were said.. but at this moment he was managing a little better. The monsters from around here, he had mainly taken it out on and in doing so, well ? it was a distraction. Vincent seemed to start walking a little more, his method of trying to get the group moving with little to no words being said,.. that was the sort of person he was, and it was not something that was going to change.Upon hearing his name he simply turned away his cloak swiftly moving with such a maneuver, he had no interest in speaking to this stranger.. who had came from a power like none other seen before. Tifa was at least a little more kind and spoke back but it seemed Cloud was the main person who was speaking at this time. ?? Don ??t mind them.. we had a loss ? and well.. Vince, he has never been one much for words.. ? Slowly Cloud now started to walk and in doing so looking over his shoulder ??Well come on then.. I grow tired of this place.. ?? truth was he just wanted to get further away from Aerith ??s grave ? as such and well, he would have his revenge in due time.. this was something he knew for certain.
(FF7)Fate's Intervention(Kratos+Anjeru)
Amelia didn't take any offense to Vincent's stand offish behavior, it was honestly no less than she expected from him. That he even acknowledged her was more than she had seen coming. As they started walking, her perfect team of Cloud, Tifa, and Vincent, Amelia began to trudge along behind them. Her mind was choatic because she was frantically trying to think of how she was going to return home she had been zapped here by some freak accident involving the power supply of the game station, itself. Never in her life had she heard of an experience such as this was it fate's way of telling her that her life was nothing but a cruel joke? Honestly, she was nothing more than your modern teenager. How in the hell was she going to fight off the kind of monsters she knew to be in this game?When they came to the exit of the city, she found that she had subconsciously stopped moving. She turned her head back to the city and looked upon it with sad, but knowing eyes.I'm sorry for your death, Aerith, but you know as well as I, that ultimately, your death is what's going to save the world from destruction.And when the time came for them to know, she doubted it would help ease her loss. She glanced back to the brooding, often at times detached, ex soldier. "I'm sorry for your loss," she said, "but I know that your friend will never forget you, just as you willl never forget her."Somehow, she wasn't sure if her invention into this world was a good thing. Couldn't she end up changing the very path this world was set upon? And not particulary for the better? She could end up causing more harm, than good. Amelia knew she had to find a way to get home, soon, before she altered this world's destiny from its set course.
(FF7)Fate's Intervention(Kratos+Anjeru)
Cloud turned and faced her as she heard Amelia start to speak, her tone almost spoke out saying she knew something they did not but he decided not to question it just really wanting to get away from this area. Aerith was gone,.. and this would be the last place.. that he had wanted to remember her,.. being buried of all things. So the quicker they all moved on the better it was going to be. His eyes looked at her slightly confused now as the statement continued... "I never told you her gender..." did she really know more then she was telling,.. later on he would ask. But it seemed Tifa was not worried and Vincent had shown at least a slight trust by acknowledging, but anything more then that was rare.. the fact he had just not walked away without even noticing .. that was rare in itself.If and when Vince would speak it would be in short sentences, or just a word or two.. that was who he was.. Which Cloud Strife had not notice a change.. since well most of the time he had known him now. They all moved as a group before he started to look around. "Prepare yourselves,.. incoming from the left, and the right... they will try to flank us if were not careful.. Amelia I do hope you know how to defend yourself.. after all we can't look after you the whole time.. if you plan to stay with the group for a little. He had nothing to give to her but instead looked to Tifa who had been carrying everything so far.. despite the guys were probably stronger. She began rummaging before finding at least a blade and throwing it near Amelia's feet "Hack, swing slash.. I am sure you will get the hang of it, alright lets deal with these fast.. The exit is only just up ahead.. so after this lot of monsters, we should make it outside and be able to rest.."Cloud now pulled out his large buster sword from it's hilt, it's size was almost part of it's novelty, yet it was a light sword.. yet required reasonable amount of strength or at least skill to use it effectively in combat, Vince seemed to just pull out his classic guns that had caused much havoc in plenty of other fights as the three circled around a little making sure no one would be ambushed although Amelia was probably not used to their way of fighting.. he could just tell when the blade had been thrown to her feet..
(FF7)Fate's Intervention(Kratos+Anjeru)
Amelia's white teeth caught her lower lip as she bit it nervously she'd slipped up with what she had said about Aerith to, at least, help console Cloud over her death. He was right, hehadn'tmentioned that.Crap.At this rate, she was going to put herself out before she could even make a dent on the world's fate.Figures.Amelia didn't say anything in response but simply looked down at her feet, unsure ofwhatto say in return. Then she said, "Lucky guess, I suppose." She wasn't sure the ex soldier would believe her, but it didn't matter, because soon the enemy was upon them.Tifa tossed the samurai like sword to her and Amelia picked it up with semi wide eyes she was expected to fight? Well, that made sense. Pull her own weight, and all that jazz. Though...she only played video games when it came to fighting, she had formidable knowledge to use in a real battle, especially pertianing to the use of weaponry. She tossed the blade to and fro between her hands for a moment, then decided to just wing it follow the video game influence, really. The young woman dashed forth and pushed off the ground with a foot, coming down from above to slash the monster at head level. It didn't fall, so when she landed, she rolled and swung from right to left to slash it across the middle. It took the hits and growled, swinging its hand like limb out to swat her. She hit the ground and groaned, before jumping up to run forward, stabbing the creature in the chest. This seemed to be the final blow and the creature fell to her blade as she'd done this, she had been counting on the others to take out the other enemies that had presented themselves to their meager team.

Tifa looked upon the girl as she rushed forth to fight, almost in a warped sense of awe the young woman that had mysteriously appeared before them appeared to be able to handle a sword rather well. However, the young fist fighter didn't get much of a chance to ponder about it as one of the monsters charged her. Tifa put her hand on the ground and pushed off, flipping over the creature to land behind it. She moved forward and began to hit it with her strong fists in a flurry of punches. She turned at the waist agily, bringing her foot to the side of its head causing it to fly away from her and hit the monster that Amelia had managed to down.It staggered to its feet and Tifa nodded her head towards the young girl. They both came at it, Tifa from the left, Amelia from the right. They cross attacked the creature, Tifa kicking it squarely in the gut to cause it to fall back and fall straight into Amelia's flurry of slashes. The creature howled in pain and anger, struggling to attack backm and managed to land a blow against the newcomer. Amelia flew back and hit the ground with a 'oomph', but this gave Tifa the moment of distraction she needed. She grabbed the creature's foot and knelt, suddenly pushing herself off to jump into the air. The fighter spun quickly and then threw the monster back into the ground this was her familiar move called The Meteor Strike. After the monster hit the ground, it didn't get back up again and Tifa landed back onto her feet easily.
(FF7)Fate's Intervention(Kratos+Anjeru)
Cloud could not help but just watch at the two started to fight and even more.. fight together, although to begin with Amelia looked completely clueless she seemed to be handling okay considering.. it almost seemed like she knew what she was doing.. then again that was not impossible it just did not look like the case upon her first appearing. Because of being stuck in thought a monster had got a clear attack knocking cloud back,.. luckily Vincent had acted quick shooting it fairly straight in the mid torso knocking it back slightly before turning his attention to his own that had now jumped at him,.. he darted quickly to the side to miss it before firing off a few more shots at it and then starting to move around it again,Moving reasonably quickly to distract it slightly before coming in slamming the butt of his gun against the creatures skull before this time making the gun glow with fire, before shooting it at close range, causing a fireball to ignit the creature as he kicked it away and just to make sure fired more shells into it. Althought burnt and angered now.. it still tried to attack and so he jumped to the side as Cloud had swung his massive sword sending the other monster back as he then lunged himself at Vincent's. After all it was fair since he had helped him out.. That was enough help from him though as Vince slammed it to the ground unloading a few more choice shots before firing one last one this one exploding itself into its target. Cloud on the other hand was now just flurrying his large blade at the creature before bringing it back, and making it glow blue before bringing it across sideways before almost in a split of time reverting his direction of attack coming from the left instead of the right catching the monster of guard. "Tifa.. think fast.." As he said that the monster came flying at her, she would only have a split second to act but he was sure she could do it.
(FF7)Fate's Intervention(Kratos+Anjeru)
Tifa snapped into action, pushing off the ground to twist around and slam her foot into the side of the creature's face. It howled in pain as the power of her kick splintered bone, broke through its skin, and caused blood to burst forth. It shot away due to the hit and smashed into the rock walls. It fell and did not get back up again, wheezing for a moment, before ceasing to move at all. The young fighter gave a huff and a soft smirk, before waving for Amelia to follow as she walked back over to Cloud and Vincent. "That takes care of that," Tifa said, brushing her hands off. Her brown orbs slid over to Amelia as the girl came to stand by them, her clothes a bit torn, but otherwise unscathed. "You did suprisingly well."Amelia nodded in response, unsure of how she had been able to do what she had maybe when she had been transported into this world, she received the basic knowledge that was required to survive. She wouldn't write it off, considering the fact that she was here that in itself was strange enough. "Ah...thank you, Tifa." She murmured, feeling a little odd as they all looked at her. Her voilet eyes lowered as she sheated the sword. Her small hands lifted to take the very long and thick yellow ribbon out of her hair, letting the long raven lockes free to spill around her. Then, she found a way to attach the sheathed blade to it and strapped it to her shapely hip. "I don't want to be a burden," Amelia said.
(FF7)Fate's Intervention(Kratos+Anjeru)
Cloud watched as Tifa dealt with the last of them that he had sent flying towards her, quickly she seemed to move and almost effortlessly the fight was over before he looked at Vincent who seemed to just turn away now that the fight was over almost ready to leave. To say the least Tifa was not the only one slightly surprised by Amelia, at first.. he was almost worried at the look the three of them had received when she was told she had to fight a look of, you have to be kidding,.. almost a look of like .. how would I be of any help but then she fought better then any of the three could have predicted. Slowly Cloud's eyes looked at the two as they walked closer now noticing Tifa compliment Amelia " I don't think you will be a burden if you can fight like that.. For a moment their I thought I would have had to fight double."A soft laugh escaped him as Vincent turned around and faced the other three. Although he would not admit it, he to was rather impressed but was not one to talk much unless needed. "Lets leave already.." Once that was said he then turned and started to walk away knowing the others would follow. Cloud just watched as Vince now walked off a sigh leaving him "A man of few words like always.. Come now you two, may as well not let him get out of our sites, after all if another ambush happens to just him, we might end up walking up and finding him unconscious.." now he started to walk after Vincent knowing the two would follow.
(FF7)Fate's Intervention(Kratos+Anjeru)
Amelia nodded as she turned to watch Vincent walk away from them she couldn't help but admire his ability to keep himself distached from the world around him. Probably because of what happened with that girl...Lucrucia? No...that wasn't right, but she knew who she was thinking of. The scientist who had worked with Hojo back when Vincent had been a Turk. Her eyes then slid to Cloud who she knew was an Ex member of Soldier and who had his own trumatic past to come to terms with. Tifa did as well, though, having shared part of her past with the spikey haired blonde. Silently, Amelia started to follow after Vincent, almost hypnotized by the way his red cloak flowed in the wind."So, where are you guys heading?" Amelia asked as she found Tifa walking beside her. "I mean...well, where is it that you are heading after leaving the City of the Ancients?" She hadn't remembered if they had mentioned the name of this place or not, but she wasn't really going to be able to censor everything that she said to them and around them. It would just be too difficult, considering she had no idea how long she was going to be with them.
(FF7)Fate's Intervention(Kratos+Anjeru)
Although he was not actually looking back at the group he could feel a pair of eyes looking at him,.. and he could tell it was the newcomer,.. she had appeared oddly in front of them and yet seemed almost as if she did not believe was going on. It made little sense and so Vince just chose to ignore, like he does with quite a lot of things. Each step caused a slight sway in his cloak the wind catching it occasionally making it move more, but he was not one to mind. Cloud seemed to just watch as Amelia seemed to be watching how Vince's cloak moved.. and yet for some reason felt a little jealous.. but that was not something he was going to show. Instead he quickly just caught up since out of the group he had managed to slightly fall behind not paying attention. Hearing the question he decided that it was his to answer. After all.. Vince was more navigation then decider.. that role was generally left up to Cloud."Hmm,.." Cloud could not remember if they had told her the name of where they were but ignored it nether the less, and decided to answer the question at hand " Well, I think the best idea is for us to head to Bone Village.. maybe rest their the night, and then from their.. we could head up Corrall valley and maybe after that the Forgotten City.. but we might change our mind after the rest,.. although I think eventually.. we will head that direction anyhow."
(FF7)Fate's Intervention(Kratos+Anjeru)
Tifa's brown orbs caught Cloud staring at the newcomer and she felt a pang of jealousy, one that she had only felt when Aerith was around Cloud. Writing it off as curiousity, she turned her gaze away from the spikey haired fighter and looked at the ground as they walked. It was curious though...none of them had really mentioned the exact name of this place, so how was it this girl who had seemingly appeared from know where...how did she know where they were at? Shrugging it off, she followed along, almost as quiet as Vincent, which was a bit out of character for the martial arts fighter.Amelia turned her gaze from the mesmerizing motion of Vincent's cloak to the spikey haired blonde Cloud. Silently, she remembered the first time she had played Final Fantasy 7, what her thoughts had been. She had been wondering why the men in the games always had to be so good looking and why the men in real life had to be so dull and drab. Amelia remembered thinking how cool it would have been to be part of the game's universe...funny, how fate managed to change one's life always with a sense of irony. She smiled to Cloud, "I don't want to be in the way...so I'll see if I can get out of your hair once we reach the Bone Village then." She said it almost regretfully, hoping one of them would deny her that and ask her to stay, or maybe just even attempt at offering her their help. After all, wasn't this every girl's dream? To be in the game that so many people wanted to be a part of?They continued walking on as they spoke and it wasn't before long that the four of them were trudging through the glass like forest that would take them to the village. Amelia's violet eyes couldn't help but admire the woods never in her world would she ever see something as amazing as this. She couldn't help but stare, unable to keep a small smile off of her face.Funny...how fate always manages to screw up ones future. Not that I'm complaining...it's just going to suck that I have to find a way home. It would be selfish to alter their fates just because I wouldn't want to leave.She thought it silently to herself and knew it to be true.
(FF7)Fate's Intervention(Kratos+Anjeru)
Cloud had never really noticed when Tifa was jealous, and so when he looked back to see her look away and then look at the ground he did not have a clue what she could be thinking about. He would usually find out eventually this he knew,..Amelia seemed to know these locations better then what was expected for someone that seemed like she felt out of place, just the way she presented herself said this about her..I doubt she would actually be in the way, but she probably does want to get back to where ever she came from.. because I have never seen a teleportation spell like the one she came in..Cloud looked at her before continuing to walk, maybe he would ask the others if she could travel a little longer with them if that was what she wanted. Their was just something he liked about her.. It did not take them long now before they arrived in the woods that lead to the village, they rather were quite stunning this was something he noticed Amelia seemed to be rather dazzled by, then again not many people had ever seen anything like it.. so that was no surprise. Vincent then stopped before leaning against a tree placing his hand to the side as if to say stop for a moment. Slowly he began to speak as he walked up towards Amelia "Look.. I don't trust you, so before we just let you go run off once we get to the village.. Spit out who you really.. are,.. what are you, you sure don't seem around from here.."A quite surprised look crossed Cloud, not very oftenly did Vince speak so it almost seemed rare "Vincent, we don't need to know that.., all we need to know is she is not from around here.. that spells says so,.. never have i seen something like it.. I do trust her.. which is why I was going ask you two if she could tag along for a little longer.. after all I don't see her as a burden and maybe her knowledge from Amelia came from.. might help us,.. What do you say Tifa..? Vince? Is she allowed to stay.. that's if you want to Amelia.." Vincent just slowly walked away turning with a swift movement before he spoke "I will see you two at the village.. and maybe you Amelia.." Once that was said he disappeared into the forest and Cloud just sighed. "He has always been a little odd since we met him.. But nether the less.. he will be waiting at the village so we may as well get out of this forest."
(FF7)Fate's Intervention(Kratos+Anjeru)
Amelia wasn't surprised by Vincent's reaction, but felt a tad hurt though she could not explain why. She lowered her amethyst eyes and said nothing as the dark haired man disappeared into woods.I really am in the way...was her thought before Cloud's words registered. Her eyes raised to him and she remained silent still. Tifa crossed her arms. "I think I'm with Vincent on this one, Cloud. We have no idea who she is. She could very well be working with ShinRa, or worse, with Sephiroth." Even as she said the words, she knew it was unlikely considering how Amelia had shown up before them. "Well, whatever, I'm going ahead as well. I'll see you at the village." Tifa said, before she took off, disappearing into the woods in front of them. They weren't too far from the village, so she'd be there in no time.Amelia stopped and hung her head, eyes looking at her feet. "I'm sorry Cloud...maybe I should just leave you guys now...it doesn't appear that things will go well if I stay..." her words were low, her long black hair hiding her face. She almost wanted to cry, though she couldn't blame them for treating her this way. "I don't know how to get home...I never intended to end up here...even if deep inside, this is where I wanted to be..."
(FF7)Fate's Intervention(Kratos+Anjeru)
Cloud now watched as Tifa walked away.. her comments that had been made, could have been true but the thing was he did not believe them, and was starting to think maybe she was jealous for some reason of Amelia.. from the attention Cloud had been given her and so took the easy way out instead of showing it. He had expected Vincent to eventually speak up or run ahead, it was common for him especially in areas that were not so dangerous.. but he had a feeling that the fact that both of those two had agreed with each other.. meant Cloud was the only one that actually trusted this girl. He just listened for now unsure of what to do, of how to react.. it was not commonly that he had to deal with a female after her emotions had just been affected by words that had been said. Slowly a soft sigh left him before he lightly placed a hand on her shoulder his grip slightly firm but not painful."What do you mean you never intended to end up here..?.." His voice was slightly softer then normal as he then lightly placed his hand against her cheek moving it from her shoulder in the process and lightly raised her head so that his eyes could look into hers. "Were do you come from.. if not from here,.. as long as you promise me you will tell me this someday.. I will try to help you,.. and as for leaving us guys now.. you just need to gain their trust.. which should happen in time.. Vince.. will probably be the last person you would gain trust off.. But if you run away from us now.. you might never get home.. or more to the point you might get lonely or lost around this vast world.."
(FF7)Fate's Intervention(Kratos+Anjeru)
She was rather surprised when Cloud's hand touched her and lifted her face so that he could look at her. In fact, the action almost made her want to blush, though she managed not to. Her amethyst eyes returned his gaze for a long moment after he had finished speaking. "I'm not...from this world," she said, turning her eyes away from his, setting a hand on top of the one on her shoulder. "There was an accident, then a bright light and I blacked out...when I came to, I was here. That's all I know." She admitted to him what she could, not wanting him to become panicked or anxious, or anything really. It wasn't uncommon for things like this to happen, after all there was magic in this world and, as it was, Jenova was the colamity that had fallen from the sky. It wasn't completely unheard of."I don't expect you to trust me, or for Tifa and Vincent too either," Amelia said as she turned her gaze back to Cloud's, gently squeezing his hand. "But, I can promise you this, Cloud. I do not work for ShinRa and I have no connection, in ANY way, to the physcopath Sephiroth. I know that may be hard to believe, considering I seem to know a lot about this world, but it's true. I don't mean you any harm and if I could, I would like very much to travel with you until I can find a way home."
(FF7)Fate's Intervention(Kratos+Anjeru)
Upon hearing those words Cloud was not that surprised really,.. he just listened now letting her tell him what ever she was going to, and her story was believable enough..Maybe she was forcefully brought here.. Maybe Tifa.. is right that Sephiroth could be involved with her or something like that..Those thoughts did not linger in his mind though as he did not believe them anyhow and upon feeling her squeeze his hand, he slowly moved his hand down the side of her lightly still holding it now within his grasp listening to what else was coming from her. His blue eyes continued to gaze into the depths of hers before finally Cloud put a finger against her lips as if to signal her to stop talking for a little. "I understand.. and although the others do not agree with it, I want you to stay with the group.. I am sure in due time the others will agree with it.. Vincent will probably just ignore the fact your with us.. but if he ever says anything to you.. he probably is just worried about the safety of the group.."A small sigh left him before he continued to hold her hand. "I will make sure to help you be able to get back to your world.. even if that means later having to make the group go their own ways.. but come now lets get to Corral Village and rest a little, after all maybe if you rest some more you might remember more about what happened.." Partially he knew thier was more to the story but he was not going to force her to speak... Vince would probably try a few times.. but he would help her deal with him.. and as for Tifa, well she would be interesting.. to say the least but all would work out eventually.
(FF7)Fate's Intervention(Kratos+Anjeru)
Amelia's eyes widened a bit, feeling his finger against her lips almost surprised that the spikey haired man had silenced her. She had to admit though, she did tend to drag on sometimes. It was sort of a bad habit of hers. She was happy that Cloud trusted her and knew that, maybe in time, Vincent would too. He always came off as distant and indifferent, but she knew that was because he didn't want to become attached to people who could die. In took her a moment to realize that Cloud still had hold of her hand and had to once again push off a blush. This was the second time that had happened, Amelia realized as her violet gaze returned his mako induced blue one. It was the mark of SOLDIER, she knew, but his eyes were still the most beautiful eyes she'd ever seen.Softly, she nodded her head and pulled away to begin walking forward again. She stopped though, and turned, offering him a smile. "Thank you...for believing me, Cloud. It means a lot. I was afraid I'd be alone." Were her words before she turned again and began walking, knowing he would be right behind her.
(FF7)Fate's Intervention(Kratos+Anjeru)
Seeing her smile a small sigh of relief left Cloud, for a moment their he actually thought Amelia might actually leave because of the things Vincent and Tifa had said, and as she started to walk so did he. He managed to stay reasonably close but walked behind her slightly watching her hair for a brief moment before looking away and speeding up his pace, "I should probably lead you through here.. If i let you lead.. who knows were we might end up.." A soft laugh left Cloud showing it was a joke but his face had a slightly serious expression as the last thing he wanted to have happen was become lost in this forest.. it might be dazzling but who knew what it was like at night.Cloud then started to lead before turning to the left and continuing to walk, it seemed luckily this area was pretty direct anyhow.. and so it might have actually been fine with Amelia leading but he was just making sure the two would get out of here.
(FF7)Fate's Intervention(Kratos+Anjeru)
"I guess you have a point," she said with an embarrassed laugh, following behind the spikey haired fighter now instead of leading. Back home, playing the game, she never would've expected to see this side of the young fighter. It really was a pleasant surprise, she had to admit. Now only if the brooding Vincent came around, she thought to herself with a small smile. Maybe, in time, he would and she could become a part of the team, to help them in their war with the great general Sephiroth. She was so lost in thought, she didn't notice that they were coming up to the village now, the mystical tree's beginning to give way to the pathway leading into the bone structured village. Violet eyes peered around almost in awe of how the small village was formed. She had never seen anything like this and really, it was kind of cool to see. "Well, looks like we're here," she said to Cloud as she looked around, not seeing the busty fighter Tifa anywhere around. Or Vincent yet, from what she could see.
(FF7)Fate's Intervention(Kratos+Anjeru)
Usually Cloud was not to open with people, being a little more like Vince and a lot less like Tifa.. he would suggest himself being the middle between them,.. what they were if both were taken away from their extremes, although he did have his moments. Sometimes even quite emotional but he was getting better with dealing with everything. Most did not get to see Cloud like he was now though.. especially after what events had occurred reasonable recently. But Amelia brought out more what was better within him.. made him feel stronger about how he should be feeling or how things seemed better when he acted on a side that rarely showed.. he trusted her, and it would take a reasonable amount to break that trust. Something that he could not say a lot.. but something about her, just made him think that way. Hearing her speak brought him out of his thinking as he slowly turned, looks like the others might be around in the inn or something like that already.. or knowing Tifa, shopping.."Vincent had truly just disappeared from the others but after a while saw Tifa walking around before moving swiftly before appearing in front of her "We need to do something about this stranger.. Cloud is acting odd around her,.. and she could jeopardize everything.. she is to much of a risk,.. that you truly know.. right?"
(FF7)Fate's Intervention(Kratos+Anjeru)
Amelia nodded gently, her violet eyes peering about to see if she could find signs of the others. When she did not, she turned back to Cloud with a small smile. "Maybe, you know them better so you probably know." She said taking a moment to stretch her arms above her head. Then, running her fingers through her raven bangs, she spoke again. "I guess we should go to the INN then too, Cloud. They could be waiting for us." She really didn't believe what she said, if anything they would be waiting for Cloud, but definitely not for her. She knew that the other two mistrusted her and most likely didn't want her around. She hoped that would change.Tifa's brown orbs lifted from what she had been looking at as Vincent approached her. She listened closely to his words, before nodding softly. "I agree with you, Vince. Which I know is rare...but I don't trust her." She said, crossing her arms across her chest. "However, I don't think we can blindly judge her. Maybe there is some way we can test her worth...what do you think? You're better with this than I am." Which was true, usually Tifa was the open friendly one, but something about this girl was nagging at her. Something was off.
(FF7)Fate's Intervention(Kratos+Anjeru)
Those words made Cloud think for a moment and really it was more Tifa he knew then Vincent, even to him.. Vince still had his secrets that he was sure no one alive knew.. but they were a part of why he acted the way he did, it almost seemed foolish that such things would affect him so and he would not come to trust the people that he had to journey with, enough information so they could at least understand. Truth was Vincent was waiting to get rid of her, and Tifa.. was a mixed personality that seemed to be siding for once unpredictably with Vincent something that was uncommon the two usually not agreeing about much. Obviously neither trusted Amelia and so their minds were settled. Sure times were dangerous but it was silly to not think of a possible new ally as a possible enemy at the same time. " I am sure in due time, you will be able to call yourself one of the group until we find a way to return you to your origin.."Vincent went silent as Tifa spoke, she was spot on with her comment, but their was enough reason not to.. she did just come out of no where, and her knowledge for apparently never being in such an area.. made little to no sense. Vince thought about her next comment before thinking of something "I am sure.. if Amelia is one we can trust their will be a point were it will all be proven to us.., we should start with the basics, try to find out a little about her.. but the true test is their will be a chance were individually at separate times we will need saving. its inevitable.. and when that happens, we will see for ourselves.. if she is truly worth trusting."
(FF7)Fate's Intervention(Kratos+Anjeru)
Amelia's violet eyes slid over to look at Cloud as the made their way to the INN in the bone village, her long black hair flowing in the wind behind her slender form. She listened to his words and smiled, glad that someone here wouldn't be against her. She supposed it was too much to expect them to trust her blindly. It was likely she may have acted the same if she were in their shoes. Her train of thought became interrupted as the INN came into view. "Should we go look for Tifa and Vincent or just wait at the INN for them?" she asked, turning her head to look at him again.Tifa nodded to Vincent's words, knew them to be true and let out a sigh, rolling back on her heel to look at the dark man. She felt kind of bad that they were being so judgemental to the young woman, but with the way she had come into their lives was something to be mistrusted. Tifa had only ever seen monsters and Sephiroth use that kind of magic, but she also couldn't help but think that maybe that young woman could be someone who did need their help. She wasn't sure how to feel about this, so she began to contemplate wether or not she should travel so directly with the group. She could leave it to Vincent if she chose to leave, she knew that. Curbing her thoughts, she nodded again to his word. "Should we go back to INN, Vincent?"
(FF7)Fate's Intervention(Kratos+Anjeru)
Cloud did not really have to think when he heard Amelia ask such a question. They would eventually turn up if they wanted to come to an Inn.. and well, Vincent was the type of person who could possibly sleep with trees all around, not needing to confine himself into an area that you have to pay to stay in. Simply he shook his head before speaking "They will come here if they want to.. It would be better for us just to rest a little in the INN while we can" Slowly the blonde haired fighter moved closer to her before gesturing for them to enter "Don't worry.. I got you covered for the inn costs.. after all accommodation these days is never free unless we have seriously helped out people of that area before.." He organized rooms for them all and told the innkeeper about the other two that may or may not show up..Vincent thought for a moment before sighing "You can if you want.. I might spend some more time out here.. alone if you don't mind.." Vince then started to walk away towards the opposite direction "I will meet you and Cloud in the morning.. Tell him that if he asks.." That was all he said before disappearing into the forest looking up into the night when he found an alright spot. Am i being a little to harsh on Amelia.. Usually if Cloud trusts someone then things are fine.. yet i find myself just like Tifa judging the person who might need our help to get back to where she came from..
(FF7)Fate's Intervention(Kratos+Anjeru)
Amelia thanked Cloud with a small smile and dipped her head down. "I think I will go rest then...thank you, again, Cloud, for your support." She said, bowing her head before turning to move down the way to her room. She closed the door behind her with a soft sigh, starting to feel a little overwhelmed. Her feet carried her to the small bed where she undid the ribbon holding her sword, putting the katana in the corner of the room. When she heard the door next door clicking shut, she knew Cloud had gone into his rented room and she bit her lip, beginning to pace. Was she dreaming? Was this all just a dream? What if she went to sleep and woke up at home? Strangely, she didn't want that to happen...this world was probably better than her own, with the judgemental guys in school always trying to hit her up like sdhe was some common trampt. She had problems at home and here, they all didn't exist. Amelia was free to be a different person here, though it would be selfish of her. She was interferring in their lives and if she chose to stay, she would be changing their futures just to change her own.Amelia was still pacing. She began to feel claustriphobic so she began contemplating sneaking out of the INN for a walk. She paced to the window and saw Tifa walking into the building, but she saw no sign of Vincent. Biting her lip, she quietly opened the window and lifted her leg over the sill. Swinging over, she hopped out and looked around. When she saw that no one had noticed her leaving, she began to walk around the bone village, looking at this and that, thinking almost intensely. After awhile, she decided to wander north into the village and came to the treeline that led to the forest. Not wanting to get lost, she didn't wander too far in, maybe two or three trees.She turned and sat against the tree, her knees drawn to her chest almost sadly. She wanted to be here, but then she didn't. "I miss home..." she whispered, "...but at the same time I don't." Tears rolled down her cheeks as she buried her face in her arms atop her knees with a sigh. "I don't know where I belong anymore." Tifa walked into the INN and asked the innkeeper if the rooms were taken care of, and she was told that they were. She asked for Cloud's room number and, after receiving the number, she walked down the hall and gently rapped her gloved knuckles against the wooden door. "Cloud...?" she said his name softly. "Are you there? I'd like to talk to you...about Amelia." She said the last part almost warily, as if it might upset him to talk about the issue at hand.
(FF7)Fate's Intervention(Kratos+Anjeru)
Cloud watched as Amelia left of which he waved her off with his left hand watching her leave before sighing,Who is she really.. If i help her, get back to where it is maybe that will keep Tifa and Vince happy.. But no matter what they say.. I can't just let them push her away when she needs our help.. She looks like she does and does not know this world.. so it would be bad to leave her alone in it.. loneliness is something none deserve.A sigh left the blonde haired fighter, not really sure what to do, he sort of did not want to go against the other two if they disagreed with Amelia.. but part of him was telling him to, he decided to go to his room and just lay down for a little. Rest was something he could do with anyhow.. a lack of it had been around since the loss they had all experienced.. well all but that newcomer.. he still could not get her out of his mind and Cloud was unsure why.. He figured soon the others would be returning shortly.. so until then, rest was the only thing he could do if he could manage it. It was getting harder to do, but he was sure he would manage since so far everything else had been dealt with and as a person he had learnt quite a bit.. yet everything felt a little repetitive.. go to a new area.. kill things that attack it, he was starting to wish this all was not required to take Sephiroth.. it was obvious he wanted revenge, but he was neither ready and neither was Vince or Tifa.Vincent had been just sitting alone for a little while now, it was something he used to do a lot.. but now a slight normal loneliness struck him, it was not uncommon for him to feel this way.. but ever since losing her so long ago, he did not let much close to him and kept to himself.. it was just the only way he knew how to deal with everything. It seemed Tifa was keeping herself together rather well.. he had expected she would have been the first to break out of the group.. but in truth it seemed Cloud was the one that seemed the most broken out of the group.. except with the new arrival of Amelia.. he seems to at least look like he is coping better.He was sitting in silence before he heard someone standing up and running towards it silently moving from tree to tree before stopping above and behind Amelia listening to what she was saying. "What do you mean.. you don't belong here.." Vince then dropped out of the tree right next to her, in this situation usually he would have just walked away.. but since Cloud seemed to care about this one.. he would not go against Cloud.. but instead possibly stop the blonde haired fighter.. from making any mistakes if such a thing would occur. Cloud sat up not answering at first before hearing the last part that Tifa had to say.. "Yes I am here.. come on in" He was sitting up now before he stood up and opened his door and gestured in "well then.. if you have something to say about her.. speak now, but I am still bringing her along regardless unless she chooses otherwise.."
(FF7)Fate's Intervention(Kratos+Anjeru)
Amelia gave a start, startled by the sudden appearance of Vincent's voice. She hastily lifted her head and wiped at her eyes, angry that he had caught her in such a weak moment she had never let people see her cry and she wasn't about to let that change, just because she was in a different world. She wasn't the weak, weepy, vunerable type of woman and she didn't want to be seen that way. Dropping her knees, she placed a hand on the ground and twisted at the midsection to look up at him with her violet eyes. "You distrust me so much...you want to know my big secret? I'm not from here, obviously. There was a flash, then a jolt, like my body was on fire, next thing I knew, I was here in your world," she said as she shook her head. "I didn't come here by choice, I don't even knowhowI ended up in this world, so different from mine, and I don't know how to get back. And yes, I know a lot about your world because it's often spoke of in mine that's why it seems like I know things I shouldn't if I indeed am new here." She sighed and turned her eyes away, once again leaning against the tree. "I understand why I'm distrusted, but as I told Cloud when I told him this, I amnotpart of ShinRa, nor am I in league with Sephiroth." She finished talking and awaited what he would say to her now, afraid what she had to offer him in the way of words wasn't enough. Tifa came into the room as Cloud let her in, listening to the blonde she'd been friends with for years, since the days of Nibilhiem. Never before had she douted him, so why was she now? She didn't quite understand it maybe her jealousy was getting the better of her again. Maybe it was that she didn't want to see Cloud slipping away from her again like when Aerith had been alive it had been a little obvious that Aerith and Cloud had had a little more than a budding friendship and if she had lived, maybe they would've become something more. Tifa was afraid this would happen with Amelia he always seemed to drift away fromher. "I trust you, Cloud. I always have." Tifa said. "I just want to make sure you know what you're doing. That you're absolutely positive she's trustworthy. I just don't want to see anyone else die..."
(FF7)Fate's Intervention(Kratos+Anjeru)
Vincent knew already the first part, but the details after that were what interested him a little. The statement about the two different worlds.. was a little confusing and upon hearing how this world was spoken about in hers,.. was when he started to completely did not know what to say. "You may talk as much as you want Amelia.. but I will not trust you until I see that I can trust you,.. that is how it goes around here, one simply just does not get trusted.. You probably remind Cloud of Aerith a little.. and that is why he trusts you, but I know she is dead.. and your not from here.. that's all i can believe.. and all I can trust.." He went around the tree turning to the side his cloak fluttering before he lept to another nearby tree stopping and appearing behind her. "If i find out your lying.. I will make Cloud leave you behind.. He does not need to make the same mistake twice.." Hearing what Tifa had to say he almost instantly answered 'then why do you not trust my judgement on Amelia..' but he held his tongue seeing as she was continuing. He moved a little closer to her just walking near before speaking. "I know what I am doing.. if we push her away,.. she is as good as dead in our world.. then if we bring her along, the way I see it is we need the extra fighting power.. and.." Cloud fell quiet before he placed a hand against Tifa's cheek. "Just trust me please now.. I don't expect you to get along with Amelia straight away.. but at least make it easier for her to be around.. your words affect her emotions to.." that was all he said before the blonde haired fighter walked out of his room before knocking on Amelia's door "Amelia.. are you in their.." he knocked a few more times before walking back towards his room seeing Tifa walk out "Weres Vince by the way.. I thought you two would have come back together.."
(FF7)Fate's Intervention(Kratos+Anjeru)
Amelia sighed as she stood from her spot, turning to face the dark haired man with a mixed expression. It seemed to be half anger and half hurt, it wasn't one to be distinguished so easily. "You know. I understand you not trusting me, but the intensity of it is becoming ridiculious." She said as she tried her best to not avoid looking at him. "If you won't trust me until I give you reason to trust me, why can't it work the other way? Shouldn't you trust someone unless they give you reason to not trust them?" she asked, turning her back to him with a sigh. "Everyday it's the same...I'm sick of being looked down on. I haven't done anything to warrant this!" She sat back down and rested her forehead against her drawn up knees. "If you don't want to trust me, then fine, I understand. Don't trust me." She said quietly on a sigh. Tifa bit her lip as Cloud's words hit her, she knew that he was right. If she trusted him and his judgement, she shouldn't have been being so hard on Amelia. Cloud had a good sense about these kind of things, usually. He came back to her after realizing Amelia wasn't answering her door. "He's out in the woods, I'm sure you expected that," Tifa said as she sat on the edge of his room's bed. "And...I think I saw Amelia leave her room, but I'm not too entirely sure on that. She kind of stands out though...so I'm pretty sure it was her."
(FF7)Fate's Intervention(Kratos+Anjeru)
Vincent looked at Amelia before speaking "It's not that I don't want to trust you.. I just can't trust people straight away.. after all you did just randomly appear in our location.. at that exact time.. just slightly suspicious.." he began to walk away before speaking "I would trust you for Cloud's sake if I have to.. but I will never truly trust you until you have proven yourself.." this was all that was said before he disappeared into the forest, he would be back by morning but for now it would be pointless to try and follow him since already he was completely out of sight,I sure hope for Cloud's sake.. she is worth trusting, I am not sure he could lose another.. or worse get backstabbed by a liar.. if that is the case..Cloud after hearing what Tifa had said looked down for a moment at the floor "I should have guessed about Vincent.. but still I best go out their and check on Amelia.." Once that was said he left the Inn rather quickly before heading into towards the forest knowing she would not have gone very deep within, slowly but surely after some quick searching his eyes caught her and so he walked closer "Amelia.. come now, this forest is not the best thing to hang around in at night alone.." he had no idea that Vince had been talking to her earlier or the reason why she was out here, so just assumed she was out here alone because she felt unaccepted as a group member.
(FF7)Fate's Intervention(Kratos+Anjeru)
Amelia watched as Vincent walked away, shaking her head slowly before dropping her head back against the tree with a sigh. She could understand his hesitance in trusting her, but it wasn't any less frustrating. The young woman sat in silence, contemplating what she should do, what she would do. Should she go back to the INN, or go off on her own to find a way back home? Lost in thought, she almost jumped when Cloud's voice reached her ears. Her violet eyes snapped up and she looked at him, her expression a tad saddened. "Cloud..." Her hand reached up to wipe at the invisible tears that had managed to slip down her cheeks, she hoped he hadn't seen them. "...sorry...I just needed some air." She said it quietly, and yet made no move to get up from the ground where she sat, her long black hair spilling around her to blend with the shadows. "I didn't want to bother anyone...that's why I left through the window. I didn't think you saw me leave," she whispered, almost a little happy that he had come to find her. That he had been worried about her. At least someone seemed to care about her well being, she mused as she lowered her eyes to peer at the ground.
(FF7)Fate's Intervention(Kratos+Anjeru)
Cloud as he approached could see her sadness, and even a few tears that fell, that was why at first he had not announced himself till a little closer, which upon doing so she tried to act as if crying what not what she had just done. Her voice.. her eyes, they both held sadness and even though she then told him the apparent reason she was out here, he partially knew the real reason. After all.. she seemed in no hurry to move, and it almost looked as if the thought had crossed her mind to leave the group because of the trust issues. "I didn't see you leave.. Tifa told me she saw someone that looked similar to you.. walking towards the forest as she entered.. I even have the feeling while out here you met Vincent again,... he used to not be that way apparently, but I guess it's who he is now.." Cloud sighed and then lowered himself to her level sitting close but not invading Amelia's space. "I used to come outside sometimes when I had an issue.. or a problem.. I would just gaze at the stars.. try and even work out why I am here,. the answer is never clear.." a soft sigh left him before he continued "At first.. i felt I did not deserve to be in this world, and I became a SOLDIER to try and make a difference,.. those days are long gone thankfully,.. but what I am trying to say.. is things might seem tough now, but you will fit in.. or at least I will help you get home somehow.. regardless of what the others think.. so stop looking sad.. I want to see a smile on that face Amelia.."
(FF7)Fate's Intervention(Kratos+Anjeru)
Amelia listened to Cloud's words and she knew all too well what he was talking about she supposed it was a little unfair that she knew about them and they didn't know about her. If they knew the truth, if...he, knew the truth...would he still be as nice to her as he was being now? Vincent was right. There wasn't any reason they should trust her, even though she would never use what she knew against them. Already, she felt close to Cloud, like they had known each other for much longer than just this day. Amelia moved to sit next to Cloud, knowing he hadn't sat close for fear of invading her space. She turned her head and rested her brow against his shoulder with a very small laugh, her face hidden by her hair. "Thank you...Cloud." And she meant the words, more than he knew. It didn't make sense to her why his words could affect her so easily, same as Vincent's she was never usually so affected by words.
(FF7)Fate's Intervention(Kratos+Anjeru)
For some reason as the words left Cloud's mouth.. it almost felt as if she already knew all of this but he continued anyhow. Some of it might seem new to her, but nothing seemed to be of surprise.. which meant she either understood or already knew.. but still he continued until he finished.. before hearing her response. He felt that the words that next left Amelia's mouth.. were ones she meant, and he did not mind her resting against his shoulder a little. It was better to be closer to people then be so distant. Slowly his voice aroused back up after being silent for a little while. "So do you promise me.. no matter what the others say, that you will try to keep a smile on your face.. after all if you need to just ignore the,.. and trust the people that trust you.." Cloud now went completely silent lightly sighing before completely laying back and looking up at the sky. It was quite a scene and so he gestured for her to do the same with his hand just trying to get the two of them to relax more.. it was what both rather needed at this moment before returning to the inn.Vincent had decided to watch what was occurring after he saw Cloud.. he was originally just going to leave Amelia alone completely.. but was curious as to what was to be said.. their was no point telling Tifa what happened, it was obvious she would get jealous.. and so Vince would just stay quite.. "So you trust her that much.. to speak a little about your past.. and compare yourself.. " he spoke in a whisper.. before disappearing again..

Amelia let out a small sigh and allowed herself to fall back onto the ground to enjoy the view that Cloud was gesturing to. And she was glad she did, because the view really was one to admire. Her long black hair spread out under her as she folded her arms behind her head as she looked upon the serene tranquility of the sky. Softly, she said this would be before Vincent had slipped off into the darkness to him, "I want nothing more than to be of help to you and to the others, Vincent, and even Tifa. And I know that I haven't actually done anything to warrant your trust, or theirs, but I would do anything I could to prove it." She stopped for a second as she studied the stars. "And even if I did find a way home...if you need my help, I would stay here and help you." This would be the last thing said before Vincent chose to sneak off again. And now there were a few moments silence as she closed her eyes and relaxed with a soft sigh.
(FF7)Fate's Intervention(Kratos+Anjeru)
Cloud could understand such a thing, but also knew why the others were not so hasty to trust her considering.. still one had to not be to quick to judge, all three of them could be penalized at the moment for doing such a thing.. if someone was to bring up the fact that they judged without knowing.. Even Cloud who had not to much reason to trust her other then a gut feeling,.. was to hasty to trust her, but it was one of those things.. you either don't trust them or you do upon meeting them. "It would be selfish of me.. to make you stay here just so you can help me.. No I will help you get home.. but allow you to stay for a while at least.. because I like having you as company.." This was not something commonly said by the spiky haired ex SOLDIER and if Vince had heard it.. well he would have been surprised, but Cloud knew that he had already disappeared.. he had heard what Vince said quietly before hearing rustling of the leaves as him and his cape took off into the forest more.
(FF7)Fate's Intervention(Kratos+Anjeru)
Amelia smiled softly at Cloud's comment, it surprising her. It also caused her to blush softly, and she was thankful that the darkness of the forest would hide it. She had to admit that she liked having the spikey haired man as company as well, and she once again was afraid that she may be dreaming. Even if it were a dream and, one day, she would wake up, she knew she would never forget the experience. For as long as 'the game' had been out, since 1997, girls and guys had always imagined being among the presence of the characters and Amelia wasn't excluded this, in a way, was a fantasy come true. It wasn't going as ideally as well as she would have liked, but it was to be expected. Not that this whole thing had been intentional she was here purely by accident. "I wasn't entirely happy at home..." she admitted softly, knowing his should know the truth if he was so willing to help her return to her world.
(FF7)Fate's Intervention(Kratos+Anjeru)
Although the lighting of the night could possibly be playing tricks on his own eyes, Cloud was sure what he had said, had brought a blush to Amelia's face but decided not to say anything just in case it would embarrass the female. He had not really expected her to speak as his eyes looked up at the sky still his gaze then moving down and to her after hearing unexpected words starting to leave her mouth as if Cloud deserved to hear them. "You weren't?... must be tough coming to two different places.. and getting similar reactions I guess.. although truthfully I don't know if this is the case.. after all, you seem from a different location altogether.. and you seem to carry a look on your face like you can't believe your in such a place.. as if you have wished for such a thing.. but now that your here.. it was not like it was expected.. Please.. tell me more about where you come from.. maybe I might actually know how to get back there,"
(FF7)Fate's Intervention(Kratos+Anjeru)
"You are good at reading people," she mused, looking over at him for a moment as she thought of how much she could actually reveal to him. Obviously, she couldn't tell him that their world was a game to her in her's. "I grew up in similiar place of sorts..." she tried to think of how she could explain her world. "In a city, bustling with life. I've lived their most of my life, with a mother, father, and two siblings an older brother and sister, twins, actually. In a nice, two story, humble abode. You think I'd be happy...but..." she sighed softly. "My older sister ran away and was murdered. After that, my mother became over obsessive and tried to control every aspect of my life, almost turning into a stalker...my father became a drunk and abused me along with my brother. In turn, my brother took his anger out on me as well when father wasn't around. My world is vastly different from yours...the majority of it urban and bustling with life. Our comfortable family lives are often illusions as well as our friendships, where as I know or rather feel...that the friendships formed here amongst you guys are real. I envy that...and it's also one reason I am happy that you trust me. It's a nice feeling." She trailed off with a sigh, closing her eyes.
(FF7)Fate's Intervention(Kratos+Anjeru)
Cloud guessed that Amelia had a good point when she had said what had been said, it was true really. But it also generally allowed him to judge fairly upon first impressions something which had only turned bad once,.. but it was always a chance such events could occur again and another life would be lost to Sephiroth's cruelty. He would not waste anytime slicing his novelty sized Katana straight through the females delicate looking body, which was something that was slightly fearful about one of such evil. The warrior listened intently his blond hair slightly getting in front of his eyes in one part as he looked at Amelia speaking telling him what he figured to be somewhat truth, somethings still obviously being withheld but this was a good start to say the least. "I see why you would not like such a thing,.. it sounds a little different to what I am used to but.. it is understandable why you would want to come somewhere a little more carefree and easy going.. if the people gave you a chance.. I do trust you,.. I just want to tell you that again,.. just so you know, no matter how many people say cruel things around here.. or things that might seem to make you feel down.. I will be here for you.. if you need me.."
(FF7)Fate's Intervention(Kratos+Anjeru)
"Thank you Cloud," Amelia murmured with a genuine smile tinting her pale lips. She sat up enough to lean over towards him, pressing a small kiss to his cheek quick and innocent enough. A light peck. She then sat back and sat fully up, stretching her arms high above her head. Setting then back down a moment later, she leaned back on her hands. "I really do mean it. And I know the others may come around, but you truly have been more than kind to me...and I couldn't be more grateful," she admitted to the spikey haired fighter, avoiding his gaze as another soft blush crossed her cheeks. She knew she wasn't entirely safe here, there were so many things that could cause her death,ifshe could die. There was always the possibility she may just be dreaming. Though now, having spent this time talking with not only Cloud, but even Vincent, she wished it were not a dream. Even if she came face to face with the dreaded Sephiroth with whom she knew would not hesitate to drive his blade through her, especially if it turned out to be a way to hurt Cloud. The silver haired general always seemed to get such pleasure torturing Cloud she wanted to help him, to keep the young blonde with a smile on his face. He didn't deserve what Sephiroth was doing to him. She looked over at him and smiled. "Should we go back?"
(FF7)Fate's Intervention(Kratos+Anjeru)
Although not entirely used to such an action that Amelia took place he appreciated it,.. it had been a little while since affection was shown because it generally was a bad idea to show such a thing.. one was not meant to get to attached just incase something happened to them.. but that was not possible with Aerith and Amelia would prove to be no exception this the blonde haired fighter knew. For quite sometime him and Sephiroth.. had been almost direct enemies and rivals, and now Cloud wanted revenge for the death of Aerith and the trouble that the silver haired general had caused.. that and the plan he had to cast meteorite onto the world to make it heal itself.. so that he could become one with the life stream.. destroy all life and then use this planet as a vessel.. it was Jenova's teachings that surged through him, and it was the reason why Cloud had to mainly stop him.. so that the world would not be inflicted and life would continue. Just the thought of Sephiroth made Cloud shudder a little, slightly in fear,.. and also in anger, the reason.. was it would be dangerous if Amelia was with them at the time.. because it would be another that could be taken away from him and that was something he would not be able to cope again with. "I agree.. lets return,.. it is starting to get a little cold and we should sleep since we will leave to continue our journey.. in the morning that is, I want to see you up nice and early, understand?"
(FF7)Fate's Intervention(Kratos+Anjeru)
Amelia smiled at his playful tone and stood up all the way with a quick hop onto her feet. She stretched her arms again and smiled, turning to face him. "Yessir," she said with a small sound resembling a chuckle. It wasn't a bad day really, for her first day in their world. She just hoped that the others would be more receptive to her presence. Even though she had told Cloud she would not flee from the distrusting behavior, but if it seemed like to her that she was causing friction between Cloud and his friends, she wouldn't hesitate to leave. She was not going to screw up the young blonde's fate, not if she could help it Vincent and Tifa were meant to be in his life, she was here purely by accident. Feeling a bit emboldened, she stepped close when he stood and wrapped her arms around his waist to give the young ex soldier soldier a gentle embrace. Her face flushed red and she hid it as she hugged him. "No matter what happen, Cloud, I was glad I could meet you," she said. Tifa sighed as she sprawled back onto her bed and idly thought of what she should do. She wanted to run and not face Cloud becoming close to another girl that wasn't her. Vincent could handle things, she knew. If anyone could gauge someone worthy of trust, Vincent was one of them. She sat up and picked up a piece of paper, scribbling out a note saying she was going back to keep an eye on Marlene and that if Cloud needed her for anything, he should call. Walking out of the room, she handed it to the INN keeper and left the building, and then soon after, the Bone Village itself. Marlene probably needed her more than the others did and she knew they would not hesitate to call upon her if they needed her.
(FF7)Fate's Intervention(Kratos+Anjeru)
It was good to see that her mood seemed better, that was definitely a good thing, which was the main thing Cloud had aimed to cheer up. And gratefully he accepted the hug this time seeing the blush that seemed to show on her face as the two became a little closer, he wondered how true she would stay to her word, but for now just the fact that she had answered was enough of an answer for him.. part of him believing that Amelia meant what was said... to a degree at least, something else seemed to be on her mind a little and it was seen within her eyes, something not being mentioned but it probably was not worth asking about, right at this moment anyhow. Tifa was always one to get a little jealous at his actions.. and yet still the fighter could not work out why,.. to him they had just been close friends for quite some time, anything else between them.. never really happened. "Likewise.. come now, lets return to the inn.."Vincent to pass sometime was just moving around the forest not exactly rather loud when he stumbled across the two again, it was not that he was shocked at seeing the two embrace each other.. it was just Cloud really was just not thinking level headed giving her such a chance to get to close.. when their was to much else at stake. Instead of hanging around he left again going into the forest once more before seeing what looked like Tifa, quickly he darted towards her.. before catching up, a little surprised to find out it actually was her, and it seemed she was leaving the group.. obviously the whole introduction with Amelia.. was to much when Cloud seemed to show more feelings for her then Tifa had received the whole previous year. "I see you are leaving us..? That's not like the Tifa I know.."
(FF7)Fate's Intervention(Kratos+Anjeru)
Amelia pulled away from Cloud and nodded. She turned away from him, her long raven hair flowing out behind her almost like the way Vincent's cloak did sometimes. She yawned, realizing today had taken a rather large toll upon her. The young woman needed her rest and she was sure Cloud did too considering what him and his friends had just gone through the day before. Going through the death of a friend was never easy and she knew that Cloud had been close to Aerith before she had been murdered by Sephiroth. She walked beside Cloud as they went back towards the INN, a little lost in her own thoughts. Tifa almost jumped a little when Vincent spoke, surprised by his sudden appearance. She turned to face him, her brown orbs watching him silently for a moment. "You're right," she admitted softly and sighed. "But...after Aerith's death and Amelia's sudden appearance...I think I just need a break away from it all. And I know Marlene is having a tough time with both Barret and I gone." She rubbed the back of her head and lowered her eyes, not admitting that part of the reason she wanted to leave was so that she didn't have to watch Cloud get close to someone else. "Just do me a favor and keep an eye on Cloud. He's too trusting sometimes," she said, before than adding, "And on Amelia too. Just...she may not be against us, so don't betoohard on her." Tifa was too nice for her own good sometimes, but she knew this was the right thing to do at least for right now.
(FF7)Fate's Intervention(Kratos+Anjeru)
Although for now Cloud was acting normal, when it was time to find out that Tifa had left the group for a little.. he would be rather shocked, and a little sad and disappointed. She always made everything better but he had not really noticed the feelings she had for him to the full extent. Even though she had Barret.. part of her had liked her from quite a few years ago and that was something that seemingly seemed not to change about her but had been more hidden to show she was tougher then falling into what could be a bad choice. Slowly he walked with Amelia, the rest was the only thing on his mind at the moment, it was something that was needed and it was mainly needed so his mind could relax.. possibly see Aerith for one last time, within a dream.. before realizing it was time to move on.. and get back Sephiroth for it sometime. Vincent could not really say he was rather surprised hearing what she had to say, but he let her speak for a little longer.. it was all understandable but none of it was the real true meaning. This was something he knew for a fact and although he had never told Cloud.. he knew her feelings rather well, after being with her on this journey for quite some time now, "I can't promise that to much.. I still don't trust her, there for I can only be weary.. until I know that Cloud is not making a mistake.. but lets be honest Tifa,. I know the real reason your leaving.. what you truly need a break from.. I can see it, your jealous..." He went silent before deciding to finish "After all this time, you still have not told Cloud your true feelings.. for a long time,.. and even then back so long ago that you once told me about.. you still held back.. You can't stand that Cloud is falling for someone else.. when you have always been there for him.. and if that is your real reason, maybe go take sometime off.. I will make sure Cloud makes no mistakes.. but it will be different without you" It was rare for Vincent to speak so much and so he fell silent completely "I will tell them in the morning.. that's if they don't find out.. before"
(FF7)Fate's Intervention(Kratos+Anjeru)
The INN keeper greeted them as they walked into the INN. "Your friend has checked out and she asked me to give you this letter," he said, handing the letter to Amelia. Swiftly, she opened it curiously and read it aloud so Cloud could hear it too.Cloud and Amelia. I've decided to head back to Kalm to take care of Marlene. I'm worried about her. Please don't be upset, it's not like I'm leaving forever. I also need time to come to terms with Aerith's death. I know I did not trust you, Amelia, but please lookout for Cloud and Vincent since I cannot right now. See ya soon. TifaAmelia blinked and looked up from the letter to Cloud. "Is she okay?" she asked, hoping she was not the cause of why she had left. Tifa smiled at Vincent's words. "That may be true, but it doesn't mean I am going to stay." She said and playfully jabbed at Vincent. "I will be back after a little bit, take care of him for me." She said and then turned to leave, her long black hair bobbing behind her as she made her way out of the village.
(FF7)Fate's Intervention(Kratos+Anjeru)
A slight look of shock crossed Cloud's face as he heard such a thing. Since Vincent did not sign into the INN at all that could only mean that Tifa had decided to leave.. and a few of the reasons were obvious although the letter was what slightly surprised him. There was truth in it, but he partially felt that it was not the case but was surprised to see the last part about what was said mainly directed to Amelia. At least even though she would be gone for a while, she showed a somewhat trust for her. The warrior looked at the ground for the moment before managing a smile "She is fine..the toll of Aerith's death hit us all quite hard.. and although Tifa seems so strong.. really she was just trying to hide the fact of how it was affecting her.. and so like everyone else she needs a break.. and Marlene probably needs her more then anything at the moment.. "What happened next was rather uncommon for Vincent, usually he avoided contact but his hand lightly grabbed onto her shoulder after walking with her for a moment as she went to walk away. Slowly Vince turned Tifa around just for a moment saying just a few things "Just promise you will return.. and that you won't be gone for to long.." slowly he then let go and started to walk away slowly so if she did respond he would hear it, once that was all over he took off into the forest deciding to go to the INN knowing the other two would know the news finally, but he still had to have a chat to Cloud about Amelia.. and how he would come to trust her.. if and when she proved herself.
(FF7)Fate's Intervention(Kratos+Anjeru)
"That's good," Amelia said with a relieved sigh, the tears she had felt beginning to build up, retreating for now. "I was worried she left because of me..." she admitted softly, folding the note up and slipping it into the pocket of her school uniform skirt. "I don't know how I would handle it if I knew I'd caused your team to split..." she shook her head, that sentence would having been said just as Vincent was coming into the INN, but she wouldn't see as she was just turning away at this point. "I'm sorry for the trouble I've caused, Cloud. And I know I have caused trouble, so don't say that I haven't," she said with a soft sigh. "I'm going to sleep now I think..." it was said so softly she wasn't sure he heard it, but she waved her hand and made her way down the hall and back into her room. The door softly clicking shut behind her, she let out a sigh, letting the sadness she felt wash over her finally. She slid down the door and sat, pulling her knees to her chest. Even though the letter proved that Amelia wasn't the cause of Tifa leaving, she still felt like she was. Tears rolled down her cheek and she sighed, resting her forhead against her drawn up knees.
(FF7)Fate's Intervention(Kratos+Anjeru)
Although Cloud would not say anything about the tears that he had seen starting to crop up he still knew that even though Amelia had said that she did not feel that it was her fault for Tifa deciding to go her own way for a little while.. in truth he already knew that she was partially blaming herself and although she was a small influence to Tifa it would have not been enough for such a person like the strong willed Tifa, to just decide to leave. Sure her reason on the letter was fair enough.. but there was obviously some other factors that had made her make such a decision. Vincent had only just walked inside to see the two talking to each other. Seeing how the two took the news of one of the party members leaving for now. As Amelia started to walk off he could see just by how she was carrying herself with each step the emotions that were flowing through her at the time.. pure blame almost, instead of doing something about it himself though he just walked up to Cloud ??I see you both know Tifa is leaving for a little while.. Look she is blaming herself for such a thing ? but you were more the effect of her leaving for now.. then Amelia.. go make sure she is coping alright.. we don ??t need her blaming herself for something that she had little effect on.. ? Cloud was a little surprised by how Vince had put it but quietly said ??I was the main cause?.. ? He could almost not believe that before he started to walk down after Amelia lightly knocking at her door ??Mind if I come in for a little bit Amelia? ?
(FF7)Fate's Intervention(Kratos+Anjeru)
The knock on the door interrupted her thoughts, ones that had begun to meander towards home. She was surprised to hear the knock, but perhaps Cloud was a little more perceptive than she had originally thought. Perhaps he had seen through her forced cheery demeanor. In truth, everything that had happened today was beginning to wear on her. And, despite how hard her home life was at times, she was beginning to feel a little homesick. Of course, Vincent's cold attitude towards her only served to push her into wanting to go home. Cloud seemed to be the only one who even wanted to know her. To even want to talk to her.Amelia rubbed at her eyes with a soft smile and pushed herself up from the ground. Turning, she grasped the doorknob and pulled the door open to face Cloud, a smile on her lips it was half genuine, half forced. Her blouse had been unbuttoned a bit to allow her max comfort, so her rather considerable bust gave off a nice view of cleveage she had forgotten that though and so she didn't move to fix it. Another sign the day was wearing on her, she was getting tired and emotionally drained. A slim hand pushed her impossibly long hair behind her shoulder as she pushed the door open more, allowing for enough room to let Cloud in. "I suppose it's okay," she said softly.She turned and moved towards the bed, ending up sitting on it and facing him. Her voilet eyes watched him as he came into her room and softly clicked the door shut so that any other patrons in the INN wouldn't eavesdrop on their conversation. "Is something the matter?" she asked curiously she didn't know he was here because he had caught on to her feelings of blame and of being a third wheel. She felt like an outcast and vaguely, she wondered if they had picked up on that.
(FF7)Fate's Intervention(Kratos+Anjeru)
The truth was although Cloud had noticed how she was feeling as of this moment roughly, it seemed Vincent was the one unexpectedly.. that could actually see some what her emotions at the moment. It at least showed he was softening to the stranger as such.. which to Vincent would be exactly what Amelia was really.. but Cloud did not like to think of her as such a thing. People who were considered strangers were just people you had not met yet.. and so because he had met and spoken to Amelia a little more.. The thought never crossed the fighter that the two had talked a little more then what had been seen or heard. As the door slowly opened it was almost a surprise to see how she came to the actual door, smiling even.. but it was a little forced.. that was rather obvious, and she seemed oblivious to the fact that well..Maybe if Cloud had pointed out the fact that her cleavage was being shown in a reasonable view she would probably instantly do up the buttons to hide such a view, it was more obvious by the way she spoke.. just then anyhow, on how she was feeling inside though.. emotions seemed to be slightly lacking as she spoke softly to notify him that it would be okay for him to enter. Hearing such a thing he slowly walked inside the INN's room before closing the door behind him as his eyes sorta just fixed themselves onto Amelia for a moment before hearing her speak again. "Nothing is the matter regarding me.. nothing at all,.. but Amelia.. what if I asked you the same question.. I know you said you were going to bed and all. But is something the matter?"He spoke almost quietly before pausing and taking a breath "It's all effecting you pretty heavy.. so I would not be surprised to hear that your blaming yourself for Tifa to end up leaving for a little.. but thing is about Tifa,.. well she will come back later.. maybe even bring Marlene to meet you.." A soft smile crossed him before he finally asked "Do you want to talk about it.. or shall I just leave?" His eyes now slightly lowered just looking partially at the ground. As he slowly started to turn around, her lack of much response.. was starting to make him almost feel unwelcome when.. he knew and so did Vincent that she was trying to take more of a burden then she could handle.
(FF7)Fate's Intervention(Kratos+Anjeru)
"Ah...no, it's alright, Cloud," Amelia said softly with a smile, this time a genuine one. "You can stay if you'd like...I'm sorry I keep worrying you." Patting the spot next to her on the bed, before pulling off her school loafers and stockings, leaving her long and pale legs bare. She set them on the floor beside the bed. When he sat beside her, she turned her head to look at him. "You just have to imagine how...overwhelming this is. I mean, because, I'm not from this world even...and it's so different from mine." She admitted, brushing her hair back from her face. "And I admit I feel responsible for Tifa leaving, though I am sure I will get past that." She also wanted to say something about Vincent's behaviour again, but decided against it, not even knowing at this point that it had been Vincent that had sent Cloud to check on her. "Thanks for worrying about me," she said with a soft laugh, not used to people checking on because no one usually cared enough to do that.
(FF7)Fate's Intervention(Kratos+Anjeru)
One thing that Cloud could tell was although that first smile was not exactly purely true, the emotions behind it mixed.. the one that was shown just as she spoke was more genuine to say the least. He managed to get the idea, from her patting the bed near her to move to such a location and so the blonde haired fighter did such a thing slowly sitting down on such a place. Her words had quite some relevance and yet no matter how hard he tried to think of it from Amelia's point of view he struggled a little, and so could partially understand just how hard it was for her even though she seemed to be amazed by the world that they were in at this moment. "It's just something I tend to do almost naturally.." Slowly he placed a arm around her gently before looking into her eyes once more "I wish I could make it easier for you.. you sound like your world is worse then here in a way.. but the treatment you have received so far.. is making it hard for you to fit in here as well.. I guess no matter how well I think I can do somethings.. other things.. just can not be affected by me.."
(FF7)Fate's Intervention(Kratos+Anjeru)
Amelia blushed as Cloud's arm came around her and she suddenly began to feel nervous. As much as knew she should pull out of his hold, she did not, because she wanted to be there. She just wasn't sure as to the reason why. "Ah...it's alright, Cloud. Really," she said softly, raising a hand to gently cup his cheek with it. Her violet eyes looked into his lovely mako enhanced blue ones. "You're the only one who's managed to make me feel like I have a place here. To the others..." she dropped her hand and sighed, leaning a bit into his arm. "I'm sure you know what I'm going to say. I really feel like a nuisance to them. I can't seem to help myself because of how...cross, they seem to be towards me." A slim hand tucked some stray hairs behind her ear, a soft blush still on her cheeks.
(FF7)Fate's Intervention(Kratos+Anjeru)
Cloud knew that Amelia would feel nervous when he put his arm around her, but he felt it was necessary. He had partially expected to pull away but was relieved when she didn't. " I was hoping you would say that. Otherwise I would have pulled away" her eyes made a nice contrast to his as his blue gaze looked deeply within hers before letting her speak a little longer before softly his finger pushed against her lips as if to tell her to stop speaking just for a moment "I wish everything was easier for you.. but that is something I have no control over.. still I have been giving you what you deserve, I trust you Amelia.. and so I hope you can say such a thing back in return and mean it... I am sure Vincent will take a shine to you eventually.. after all originally the two of us did not get along but now we both care what each other thinks.. and although he does not know it.. I try to look out for him when I can.. just like I want to look out for you.."
(FF7)Fate's Intervention(Kratos+Anjeru)
Amelia listened to his words and nodded, knowing they were true. She remembered playing through that part of the game, when Cloud and the others had fought a creature to get the key to Vincent's coffin. Even when they released him, he hadn't orginally wanted to go alone. It was only after they went to leave had Vincent decided to go with. He had been cut off and curt with Cloud for awhile, before he eventually lightened up...in his own way. So Amelia knew his words to be true. She blushed more as his finger remained against her lips not being able to help admiring the strength he held in his hands. Hehadto have a lot of strength to weild the Buster Blade, she thought vaguely. Still, she didn't pull away from his arm and her eyes were trapped in his mako enhanced eyes.Her heart beat skipped nervously, then kicked into overdrive. Why was she suddenly so nervous, she wondered as she swallowed, slowly moving his finger from her lips so that she may speak again. Though, "You're right. Thank you, Cloud," was all she said. She knew she talked a lot, it had been one of her bad points for as long as she could remember. Talking his ear off and annoying his to the point of making him want to leave...she didn't want to do that. Violet eyes returned his stare curiously and nervously, her hands resting on her bare knees to keep them from touching him as they seemed to want to do very badly.
(FF7)Fate's Intervention(Kratos+Anjeru)
Although most thought Cloud to be a rather strong willed person,.. mainly strong because of the blade that he chose to wield by choice., his emotions were a different story.. where out of the three by far he could easily become the weakest at times.. but only when everything really was severe. Feeling her move his finger, he only had just realized that he had still kept it there his arm around her just staying as his mako enhanced eyes. To him moments like these were worth more then any fight.. where he would wield his Buster Blade to victory as he had the determination to never lose when it was a possible outcome to win. He could see a nervousness crossing Amelia, her emotions partially showing in the violet gaze that seemed to be fixed into his, like his was into hers. Was this the emotions that Cloud possibly thought it was. there was a slight chance. But he would not rely on such early judgments but instead would see what would develop out of it.It was a surprise just to hear her say that and nothing more but it caused a small smile to cross the fighter and then he let out a small sigh before speaking "I can see you want to be closer.. so stop restricting yourself.. move closer, I don't have an issue with it.." his smile was almost soft and a partially rare site since Aerith.. and although he remembered her.. part of him said he had to move on a little but he was not rushing into anything.. instead he was just letting some feelings at least develop or to be more accurate give a chance for something more to be created with someone just as interesting.. as what she was.. She partially reminded him of her.. except she had something else about her.. which was probably what had made him trust her so easily. "well are you going to stop denying yourself.. Or will I have to move us closer?" a soft laugh escaped him his eyes not leaving hers waiting for the response.
(FF7)Fate's Intervention(Kratos+Anjeru)
His words surprised her and for a second, her eyes widened just a bit. Barely noticable, in fact. He was able to read her so easily, it was beginning to feel as if he knew as much about her as she did him not that he knew she knew all about him, of course. Really, how are you supposed to tell someone that, in your world, they exist only in a video game? The answer: you can't. She wanted to leave it at I'm from a different world. Let them think what they will. There was no telling how long she would be here, in fact, this could be the only oppurtunity, the only night. She could very well wake up in her room tomorrow. His words urged on the more bold part of Amelia and looking down at her hands for a moment, she debated. Then, she did as he said and moved closer, sliding completely into the embrace of his arm, her half bare thigh pressing against his clothed one.Her face was only inches from his and she could feel his breath on her cheek. Lifting her violet gaze once again, she turned her head to look at him, a soft blush coming across her cheeks when she saw how close he was now that she was cuddled against his side. She swallowed nervously, her heart fluttering. Not understanding why she felt this way she was acting like a nervous school girl with a crush! This was Cloud though...in the flesh, real, solid he wasn't a game character here. He was a person, like her. "You read me so well," she said with a nervous laugh, lowering her gaze shyly to her hands again.
(FF7)Fate's Intervention(Kratos+Anjeru)
It was more a natural gift and instincts that had developed over time which allowed Cloud to read emotions so easy, it did help being able to be all emotional himself.. it allowed a understanding but made everything so much more obvious. Sometimes it was a weakness.. and other times, a benefit.. this time it was a strength but did that mean next time it would counteract that and become a weakness again like it had for Aerith.. he had not been able to deteriate her will to try and stop Sephiroth .. and he had not been strong enough to protect her.. and already he knew he could not allow it to happen to anyone.. let alone Amelia.. He was determined to help her get home.. or at least keep her safe, that was his priorities regardless of what the others thought.. and although he did not know this would alter his reality completely.. the decision had already been made by him.It felt a little nicer feeling her give into what she wanted, the two of them a lot closer his arm slightly tightening the grip around her a touch as the embrace seemed to pretty much hold the two closer to each other. She was still extremely nervous but that was to be expected since not everyone got to ever get this close to Cloud.. it was a rare occasion but something about her.. Amelia's violet eyes.. the clothes she wore, the personality even Cloud could not explain how he felt... still he lightly managed a smile hearing what she had to say "It's a talent of mine.. that I have learn't to master over the time.. but you are right.. I can read you very well.. better then most.. but that is a good thing.. aren't you happy about the two of us being so close at this moment?" he then slowly lent his head to the side closing that gap so that he rested against her holding her close his warm breath on her soft cheek before spontaneously even he did not know what he was doing as he lightly kissed her cheek ever so gently before realizing what he did looking away "Sorry.. I should not have.. I don't know what came over me"
(FF7)Fate's Intervention(Kratos+Anjeru)
Amelia blushed even more red at his words and nodded softly. She was happy now that they were closer like this. It was a dream come true for her, really, this wasCloud. Girls back home fawned over him, obsessed over him, even some made fanclubs for him. Amelia wasn't such a rabid fangirl. She had just often found herself thinking about what it would be like to meet and talk with Cloud it was turning into more than she could ever have hoped for. Perhaps her being transported here wasn't such a bad thing. Lost in her thoughts, she didn't realize he'd kissed her cheek until it was already over.She blushed softly and heard his apology but was quick to turn her head, not realizing their lips were so close together. "No! Please...don't apologize, it's ok, Cloud..." she said softly, suddenly lost in his beautiful eyes again. Her heart fluttered nervously and her stomach flipped. It felt like butterflies were playing around inside of her tummy. "Cloud..." she blushed softly again.
(FF7)Fate's Intervention(Kratos+Anjeru)
Cloud was almost a little surprised at his own actions,.. when he had said he was unsure what had come over to him.. well that was not exactly a lie. After all he had always had a small issue showing emotions like such but that had just came out unexpected, where he felt like he just had to. Hearing her speak he only noticed how close her lips were to his as she turned to him saying his name with a brightening blush across her face. His eyes were locked into hers now.. and he could not help but just continue to gaze within the violets before Cloud decided to just contiue showing the emotions that had shown from him earlier.Their lips were to close.. to the point he could feel the breath of her, the slight warmth it held.. how inviting it was. That was when Cloud just forgot about everything else and slowly placed his lips against hers softly but lightly kissing. When he had decided to come into her room to speak to Amelia.. he had not planned to do anything like this, but it had come over him unexpectedly.. and was probably more true to his feelings that had been hiding.. although he had not known her for long.. the fighter could not help such feelings.
(FF7)Fate's Intervention(Kratos+Anjeru)
Amelia's eyes grew wide in shock for a moment when Cloud's lips pressed against her own lightly, but before long, her eyes fluttered shut and she leaned into his body. Her lips pressed gently against his own in return as she cuddled in the embrace of his arm. This was so strange to her, but she didn't mind it at all. She had never been kissed...and to have Cloud, of all people, give it to her was..like, indescribable. After a long moment, she broke the kiss to breathe she was so inexperienced. Her lashes lifted and those voilet eyes were looking at him again, though this time with a little more curiousity in their depths. "Why..did you do that?" she asked curiously, their lips still so close together that when she spoke, her breath fell across his lips. Softly, almost hesitantly, she lifted a hand to touch his pale cheek, brushing back a blonde spike from his eyes so she could see him better, before her fingers merely lingered against his cheek. Her own cheeks were heated with a gentle blush as she looked at him she really wondered if she was hallucinating this whole experience because of how badly she had wanted Cloud and the others including Vincent to be real. This couldn't be real, could it?
(FF7)Fate's Intervention(Kratos+Anjeru)
It was to say the least a little obvious that if Amelia had kissed or been kissed before that her experience to such a thing was a little limited but nether the less it was a nice kiss of which even though she seemed to not be used to such feelings Cloud was glad it occurred although knew if Vincent found out.. well he would probably get some sort of lecture about Aerith and then how he came to trust Amelia only because he found an attraction to her.. Because of such reasons he would have to hide it from Vince.. and well, if Tifa found out, she probably would become really jealous.. and would have stopped speaking to him for a little. His mako enhanced eyes looked within her purple gaze before his hand interlocked fingers with hers before slowly he answered the question she had asked "All that matters.. is that you enjoyed it.. of which did you?" He looked within her eyes waiting for the response, after all his actions had even surprised himself but now that they had occurred Cloud was glad that something happened like that. The fighter in him was trying to discipline him not to show such emotions since if he got attached and if she were to die.. or go home, well it would probably be like losing someone all over again,.. and he was unsure if he could take it a second time.
(FF7)Fate's Intervention(Kratos+Anjeru)
Amelia blushed a slight more as the spikey haired fighter interlocked their fingers. She suddenly felt so self conscious after all, in her world, Cloud and the others were drooled over and obsessed about as being hotter than any guy in real life. Not even the guys who would cosplay Cloud wouldn't look nearly as good as he did. She felt suddenly so...ordinary. What was there to like about herself? She mulled over it and smiled to his question. "Ah...I did. Did you?" she asked him shyly. What they were doing was probably not a good idea, because of the fact she was from a completely different reality, not just world. There's such a vast difference between their worlds her world whorshipped and created his world, where as his world had no idea of her world's existance. For all she knew, she was dreaming, and when she woke, she'd be in the middle of her bedroom floor where she had passed out after the lightning storm. Or she could very well be in a coma, and this was simply the place in her mind she had chosen to reside in. She moved closer, almost afraid this really wasn't real. How often did people travel into their video games? Never, as far as she knew. She wanted this to be real, Cloud had been so nice to her since she had arrived, though she hadn't given him the full tale of her world and exactly how she had ended up in The City of The Ancients, where Aerith had been put to rest in the lake. She didn't really knowhowto explain it.
(FF7)Fate's Intervention(Kratos+Anjeru)
Cloud was unsure if the kiss was actually better knowing she did not come from where he came from in location wise,.. but also possibly because of how different she was to everyone else in his world, well.. it brought a uniqueness he had never seen before but it was more the fact he could tell the inexperience that she had and well.. something about Amelia was very alluring to the point of he was unsure of his actions towards her.. since his attitude partially changed in the presence of the stranger to the others.. but to him she could be a lot more. Maybe this was the start of something. He thought for a moment before slowly nodding "I did rather.. it was quite nice.. although it seems you might need a bit more practice to get used to it.." a soft gentle laugh escaped him showing that he had in fact noticed that, in particular probably had been her first kiss which if that was the case would rather surprise him since Amelia was not the type of person that he would have guessed not to kiss before,.. or maybe her personality only brought something out of him which possibly meant the two were destined for each other. "Amelia.. would you mind... if I was allowed.. to have another?"
(FF7)Fate's Intervention(Kratos+Anjeru)
Amelia blushed at Cloud's words because she was hoping that he hadn't noticed her inexperience, but he had. It was a little embarassing, she had to admit. Her violet eyes searched his mako enhanced ones for any sign of displeasure at her inexperience. Softly, her fingers tightened in his and she slowly nodded her head to his question. It must not have displeased him, because here he was asking her for another. "Yes...that would be alright..." she said with a shy smile, trying her best not to blush anymore than she already was. Her long black hair rested over her shoulders and spilled down her back, pooling at her waist on the covers of the bed, only subtly shuffling when they moved closer, or talked softly. "I would like that..." she admitted to him with a smile, eyes looking up at him shyly.
(FF7)Fate's Intervention(Kratos+Anjeru)
Part of him had expected the almost rather shy Amelia to answer the response that came from her, or at least he had hoped to hear those words in particular of which when Cloud did, a small smile crossed his face noticing her blush had not intensified past it's warm glow already showing on her face. Hearing her next comment the fighters smile remained before he slowly moved closer stopping just in front of her lips "I was hoping you would say something like that.. Amelia" gently he then moved his lips that touch more forward so that they were touching now before his lightly parted his tongue licking her bottom lip lightly as if seeing if her lips would part for his so their tongues could meet.. Cloud did not care about her inexperience but more found himself just wanting to do this with her.. because she brought something from within him that rarely showed itself.
(FF7)Fate's Intervention(Kratos+Anjeru)
Amelia's lashes swept down as her eyes shut, her body leaning into him as the spikey haired fighter kissed her once again. She made a soft noise as his tongue flicked across her lips and this in turn caused her lips to part so that his tongue could gain access to her mouth. She blushed and laid her free hand against his chest, almost unable to believe that this was actually happening. It was every girl's dream, in her world and maybe even his, to be with Cloud like this. The closest anyone in her world got to experiencing this was to kiss a Cloud cosplayer, a normal person who dressed to look like him. The real Cloud was a much better experience, Amelia thought, not even wanting to pull away from him in the least when she normally wasn't nearly as open as this. She was usually reserved and cut off, not wanting to be hurt by being rejected or turned away or betrayed, but with Cloud she just couldn't seem to help herself.
(FF7)Fate's Intervention(Kratos+Anjeru)
Cloud was not surprised as he felt Amelia leaning into him a little as the began to kiss again, upon her lips parting, slowly his tongue entered within the space she had allowed before starting to dance his tongue against hers. It had been quite a while since anyone had even seen this side of Cloud.. yet part of him was enjoying this time that the two of them were spending together. Amelia brought something special out of him,.. upon first seeing her, everything felt a little different which although he had no clue at the time whom she was, he felt instant trust.. a judgment that was usually rather accurate and this time it was. Faintly his breathed lightly through his nose continuing the kiss for a little longer one of his hands lightly massaging her back as he continued to hold her.
(FF7)Fate's Intervention(Kratos+Anjeru)
Amelia was swarmed with a variety of emotions, from nervous to happy and so forth. She was so inexperienced and nervous, afraid she was going to disappoint him. And yet, she was happy to be here with him like this. Her tongue lightly touched upon his own as it slid in to mingle her touch hesitant, shy, but curious. The kiss was amazing, to say the least, especially when the warrior slid his hand down her back to hold her close. She made a small noise into the kiss, against his lips. After the kiss lasted a few a moments, she broke it to suck in a breath of air, unused to how to breathe during a kiss since she had never done it before now. Her eyes looked up into his own, a soft red tint on her cheeks. "Amazing," she whispered, blushing.
(FF7)Fate's Intervention(Kratos+Anjeru)
It seemed although Amelia was quite new to this sort of interaction with a person, she seemed curious enough to use her tongue back against his faintly, the touches were soft and although it lasted for a little while he had expected that she might need to breath shortly not entirely used to how to breath upon kissing like that obviously. The soft red tint across her cheeks was quite evident before he heard the words that left her mouth before slowly nodding in agreement "Quite..." he found saying anything else was actually quite a hard task his mind a little blank of what it should actually be saying in this scenario before Cloud took a small breath his mako enhanced eyes just simply looking upon Amelia. ".. Well I hope that was as good for you as it was for me."
(FF7)Fate's Intervention(Kratos+Anjeru)
Amelia looked upon Cloud's face as he studied her with his mako enhanced orbs, orbs that felt to her as though they could see to her very soul. His softly spoken words caused her to blush once more. "It was...I don't see how it could be anything less than perfect," she said softly in response. She felt so vunerable, and yet safe. Two complete opposite feelings she didn't understand so well, not when she was here, held so gently in Cloud's arms. Never in the game had she seen the spikey haired warrior show this much caring, this vunerability of himself. It warmed her heart that he trusted her enough to show this side of himself to her. To her, it was a gift she would dear to her heart for a long time to come, even when she returned to her own world. "I can't believe this is real," she mumured. "If it's a dream, I hope I never wake up."
(FF7)Fate's Intervention(Kratos+Anjeru)
It was quite unlike Cloud to expose a possible vulnerability to people, but he trusted Amelia enough not to end up using it against him. Partially it felt like feelings could be slowly developing for her, that really should not be but the blonde haired fighter was not going to tell her about that. After all he had shown a glimpse of it instead and so was now leaving it up to her to find out more if she wanted to. Hearing what she said a small smile crossed him before he spoke "I don't think it is a dream.. Amelia," He still lightly held her before speaking "I will help you get back like I promised though, we do not know what will happen to you if you stay here, but I do hope we have quite some time together at least." It was obvious he had feelings for her, they showed in the way his eyes looked upon her, the way his words left his mouth. Cloud was obviously starting to fall in love, and he could not prevent it since it seemed all so natural.
(FF7)Fate's Intervention(Kratos+Anjeru)
Amelia nodded her head at his words and just lightly leaned into his embrace, suddenly not wanting to return home. She didn't want to be apart from Cloud they'd only had so little time together...if she did return home, she hoped it would not be for awhile. To give her some time to understand these feelings she was devolping for the spikey haired warrior. "I hope it's not for awhile yet," she mumured as she laid her head against his shoulder, her unusual eyes looking up at him with a small smile on her lips. "I want...more time with you," she admitted, a soft blush on her cheeks, suddenly feelings nervous again. Was she falling in love with him? Was that it? The thought was exhilerating and frightening at the same time. He wasn't real in her world...right? So unless she stayed here forever, she wasn't sure how their romance would go, except for it to be blazing but brief. She didn't want that, but knew she couldn't keep herself from Cloud, not anymore.
(FF7)Fate's Intervention(Kratos+Anjeru)
Hearing Amelia's word the spiky haired warrior could only simply agree. She seemed to have relaxed a little into him yet Cloud did not mind this at all, noticing he actually felt more comfortable with how she was starting to act towards him. Hearing her other words a soft smile crossed him noticing the nervous expression that seemed to cross her face. It was a sign of honesty but also the slightly shy nature that seemed to exist for the stranger to this world. "And I like the sound of you being around more often... everything had been so harsh after the loss of Aerith, but i feel so much more relaxed around you Amelia, ever since seeing you.." He rested against her a little just glad they had time for moments like this and at the rate this was going partially he knew it would be hard to let her go home.. but he never knew if it would be alone or not... possibly he would go with her yet that would be decided over time or maybe it was not even in his control and so he would just help her until the time of departure as such and see what happened from there.
(FF7)Fate's Intervention(Kratos+Anjeru)
Amelia blushed a little as Cloud leaned against her, only slightly. She bit her lip, her heart fluttering. "I...feel the same. Being in a new world, so different than my own...I should be freaking out...but, with you, all that seems so far away. I hope Vincent may be able to see past his distrust of me, as well," she admitted. She pulled him close and hugged him, just for a simple moment, before she pulled away. "He's probably wondering what's taking you so long and we should get some rest," she added after a moment, her blush still evident. She laid her hand on top of his and raised it, kissing his fingertips gently. "I will see you in the morning?"
(FF7)Fate's Intervention(Kratos+Anjeru)
The hug was gentle and innocent enough with a hint of possibly something else, a blush seemed to still stain her face as if it was always there but it was a little cute to see at least. Cloud managed a small smile hearing what she finished of the small light kiss he felt on his fingertips before responding "Of course.. and don't worry about Vincent.. He will begin to trust you after a little while, after all even when I first met him I did not trust him and he did not trust me but that was quickly fixed." The warrior sighed before slowly letting his arm slide from around her "Well then as you said,.. I should probably go and we all need some sleep after today,. See you in the morning Amelia.." He spoke her name quite softly before slowly walking towards the door before turning around and walking up to her to lightly kiss her cheek of which briefly he hugged her once more before now actually leaving to go lay down in his own room.
(FF7)Fate's Intervention(Kratos+Anjeru)
She blushed as he took the last chance he could to hold her, to press a kiss to her cheek, before he actually left her room for the night. Amelia spent some time mulling over his words, knowing that they were true and also some time picking apart what had just happened. If it had been real or if the day's trauma had gotten to her. Eventually, she allowed herself to realize it was real and curled up under the blanket in the bed. A soft smile spread across her lips as she finally began to doze off, thinking about the spikey haired young man that had managed to capture her heart in such a short time. Amelia was used too waking up early, but she didn't wake until she heard Cloud's knock on her door. She rolled over and mumbled for him to come in, rubbing her eyes. "Did you sleep well?" she asked with a soft yawn.
(FF7)Fate's Intervention(Kratos+Anjeru)
For the first night in a while, once Cloud laid down sleep seemed to quickly take a hold onto him of which tomorrow would feel like it came quickly. As he slept his dreams showed him what he had done with Amelia replaying it in a perfect third person viewpoint, as if he had watched himself kiss her and speak the words. Slowly after dreaming for quite some time the fighter got up, He never really slept for to long since it sometimes could be a time of vulnerability. But more so in this case he wanted to spend some more time with her as soon as possible sort of thing. Amelia was almost addicting to Cloud and he was not sure why. His hair never took long to get exactly right before lightly he knocked on her door. Hearing what seemed to be a mumble of, 'come in' the door soon opened before he walked in towards her nodding lightly at the question "The best I have had in quite sometime... what about yourself?
(FF7)Fate's Intervention(Kratos+Anjeru)
Amelia sat up in the bed slowly and stretched her arms high above her head, working out the normal morning kinks she was often likely to get. "I slept well," she murmured, looking over at him. It came back to her, the words, kisses, and caresses that they had shared the night before. A soft blush spread across her cheeks as she let her eyes roam his face she was beginning to feel a little vunerable still abed and so she slid her legs out from under the blanket, readjusting her skirt so that her lithe, pale thighs were once again covered by the plaid material. It was a strange thing, to be trapped in another world, especially in her school uniform. She stood and buttoned the shirt, closing the material over her cleavage now that she was awake enough to realize it. She reached down and pulled her stocking back over her long legs, before standing up to face him. "I'm glad you slept well," she said with a soft smile, violet eyes searching his handsome face.
(FF7)Fate's Intervention(Kratos+Anjeru)
As he waited for Amelia to get up a little he could not help but smile a little watching as she quickly readjusted her clothes after realizing she was a bit revealing at the moment although part of Cloud had not been complaining at all. A soft smile crossed him as he heard her words as their eyes caught for a moment of which he was partially lost within her gaze before the warrior walked up and slid his arms around her. "I just wanted to remind you last night.. was not a dream, by either of us... I do hope you don't mind..." he said it softly before lightly kissing her cheek, "Come now.. breakfast will be ready soon. I got Vincent to order it for us, although knowing him.. he will be waiting at table waiting for us to order instead.. You know how he is.. only talks when he wants to sort of thing.." a soft laugh escaped him, It probably was odd to see him like this. It seemed she was bringing out a side of him that had been forgotten because of the whole Sephiroth conflict and it was good for it to show once again finally
(FF7)Fate's Intervention(Kratos+Anjeru)
Amelia couldn't help but blush as the ex soldier walked up to her and proceeded to wrap his arms around her. She felt a pleasant shiver race down her spine as he kissed her cheek, allowing herself to rest within in his arms. It was such a strange thing, what this was, but she couldn't help but enjoy the peace the two of them seemed to share in each other's company. She blinked. "Oh yeah, that's probably true. Ummm, thank you again Cloud..." she murmured as she pulled herself back from his embrace to slide her stockings and shoes back on. Grabbing up the sword and adjusting it to her hip for now. She turned her violet eyes back to him. "Shall we go then?" she inquired softly, still feeling a little shy around him after what happened the night before.

Never Trust A Thief (Baraki and Rose of Wutai)
"What kind of scientist just says 'Yeah guys, it's out there. Now go look for it.'? Fuckin' old fart..." Reno muttered, tossing his baton up into the air so that it did a few flips before catching it again. He was rather skilled with the little metal rod and often did idle little tricks such as this when he was bored. However, sometimes he dropped it and on more than one occasion it led to someone getting a bit of a jolt. Nothing serious though...yet."Reno, I heard that. You left your headset on."Tseng's voice crackled into Reno's ear, making him jump and toss the baton extra high. "Aw sh !" he cried, scrambling to catch it. "Okay whatever, but you know it's true!" he shot back, glancing around for the god knows how many eth time. The materia was said to be rather large and most likely in a grove of magicite. Hard to miss, one would think, but for the last few days Reno had been combing this site for anything that looked remotely similar. "This is freakin' grunt work...Tseng gets to sit on his lazy ass and let a squad take ca ""Reno...""Mind your own business, goddamn!" Reno shouted before taking off his headset entirely and putting it in his pocket.

Yuffie giggled slightly at Reno's conversation before jumping out of the tree to land near reno with a thud. "Forget stealing that materia you Shinra Puppet, Cause that's my job!" She grinned, noticing then that Reno was actually pretty hot. She had seen how clumsy he was before and figured a fight would be simple enough to win if one occured.
Never Trust A Thief (Baraki and Rose of Wutai)
Reno blinked as the ninja suddenly landed just a couple feet ahead of him. He let out a laugh. "Ooh, I'm terrified. What are you, sixteen and tossing out all these threats and insults? The only thing you'll be taking from here is a few knocks to the head if you don't get going." he said. He couldn't help but notice that she was cute for an impertinent bandit. But now was no time for him to let a perky chick in short shorts get between him and an objective!He raised a gloved hand to his forehead and brushed a strand of his long hair away from his eye before making sort of a "shoo" motion. "Now beat it. Reno's got work to do."
Never Trust A Thief (Baraki and Rose of Wutai)
Reno had just chosen the worst words he could have. "Someones going to get knocked in the head all right, but it isnt going to be me!" She dashed towards reno with shuriken in hand, hoping to get a hit in before he could react. Of course she wasn't aiming to kill him just knock him out so she could get the materia herself. "And what exactly does "reno" define as work, being an errand boy for the rest of the turks?!"
