Chapter 29

 

 

“Where the hell are they Trunks it's not like them, it's been over six months even Piccolo doesn't stay out of contact with Gohan that long!” Goten exclaimed pacing the lounge of the Capsule Corp.

Trunks shook his head. “Goten we don't know Baba said they're not dead. Even King Kai said they're alive it's just they're not here…”

Goten had pulled him out of work to rant and rave like he had been doing at least once a week about how everyone could remain so normally functioned about the missing Goku, his father and Piccolo.

Goten only got this worked up when his mother worked him up into a worrying fit, for every part he was like Goku, there was the other part where he was like his mother in worrying. But only if she caused it.

 

The door burst open and Goten looked over Pan held an envelope in her hand. “Goten it came in the mail, it's got blood on it, I didn't want grandma to see.” She sounded worried. “It was sent a while ago though…”

Goten watched as Pan handed him the envelope and he looked at the familiar handwriting, his mouth moved in shock. “Nin?”

“Goten.” Trunks looked at him.

Goten looked at the dried blood, first his father now this… He opened the letter up. “Remember that martial artist I was seeing in college…” He began.

Trunks smirked. “Oh yeah you ruined that chance completely.”

“She was in the spotlight too much Trunks, it could have meant more exposure on our part.” He pulled the letter out and looked at the blood it had soaked through and his eyes flickered over the apologetic letter. “She's sorry.” He let his senses kick up as he tried to search for her familiar ki. He hadn't looked for her in a while this way, choosing to give her the privacy from him.

“What about Paris?” Pan asked shooting him a look.

“I'm not running back to Nin Pan… I just might write her a reply or something.” Goten stood up, his brows knitted together it was gone, her ki was absent from the planet he couldn't sense her anywhere and he looked to the blood stained envelope realization sinking in. She died trying to mail him this letter.

 

Trunks felt it the familiar yank in the change of air like what had happened when his father was yanked from this world and this time it was focused on Goten.

He ran and pushed Goten out of the way slamming his best friend into the wall out of the way.

“Hey what?” Goten exclaimed as he hit the wall.

Trunks glared over his shoulder and he stood up seeing the blonde appear out of a gust of air. The blonde sighed agitated that he had disrupted him.

“So you clicked huh?” The blonde seemed irritated then motioned at Goten. “Just hand the brat over, I've got a ritual to finish.”

“What's-?” Goten looked at Trunks. “Going on?”

Trunks scowled. “You took our fathers I'm not letting you take my best friend either in your promises of freedom after murder. I won't condone that!”

The blonde smirked. “Oh no I don't want him to kill anyone… I just need him for her soul.” He replied.

 

Pan moved and stepped in front of Goten who looked completely confused.

“Soul… what soul?” He asked.

The blonde motioned at the letter. “Hers…”

Trunks felt Goten push him out of the way before he grabbed the blonde slamming him in to the wall. “It was you. Did you kill her? Did you take dad?”

Trunks looked at the blonde who smirked. “No I didn't kill her talk to Seventeen about that one… but as for the other… I might have helped…” He smirked.

“Give him back!” Goten shouted.

“Now why would I want to do that?” He smirked. “Not when I'm so close to becoming complete… you should suffice for a replacement for Cloud. Strong enough…”

Trunks did not like the look or intent he was feeling from this man. He wanted Goten, the lure and pull was conflicting as blue eyes locked with Goten's onyx eyes.

 

Goten felt the hand off the blonde touch him on the shoulder.

“Whose Cloud and what do you mean by complete?” Goten demanded.

“By taking your ex-girlfriend's soul back… she was mine to start with.”

“Yours?” Goten growled. He was pissed he knew that Nin never let anyone lay claim to her, she was her own person stubborn at times, naïve the next, then elusive and mysterious the next. She had been a large part of his college life, the college sweetheart you never forgot and often wondered on.

“Her soul was part of my being think of it like after a fusion ends, that need to rejoin overwhelming, the power you want it back.” He explained.

Then Goten felt the air change the ki was overwhelming almost like a God then the blonde yanked him and he felt himself fall.

“GOTEN!!!!” Trunks tackled him and Goten hit the ground he felt Trunks body sheltering him.

But Goten felt something was incredibly wrong, it was like he couldn't breathe.

“T-Trunks… air…” He mumbled.

“That's what they call me. But I'm also known as the first…”

 

Trunks looked up at the blonde glaring at him. “You touch him, you'll be sorry…”

Air huffed. “Tch… don't tell me I am going to have to lure that fucken blonde away from her…”

Trunks saw the blonde suddenly vanish in a gust of air. He sat back and Goten sat up gasping his breath returning to normal.

“Trunks… what was that?” His hand moved to his chest. “Like I was suffocating.”

“I don't know, but he has our fathers… Pan get my mother and call Gohan get them here… we need to track that porthole he used.”

 

~*~*~*~

 

J'dee stood on the balcony, the night air wafting over them lightly, it was three days since Alphonse's “birth” and it had been an interesting experience, it was the first time she had stuck around long enough for one of her friends who had become pregnant to see the aftermath of birth, she was always gone at least two months before the child came, not her fault… just circumstance of her life really.

J'dee saw Kougaiji standing on the balcony of Sanzo's apartment, Goku stood with him leaning on the railing.

They were sharing quiet words she could only just make out on the wind.

“Think he's alright?” Goku asked softly.

Kougaiji huffed. “He's probably pissed off, nothing he can't handle.”

J'dee lit up the cigarette.

The flicker of the lighter made Goku look over. The gold eyes looked to the packet of cigarettes and she felt bad. But she had been smoking Marlboro red since before she started watching Cowboy Bebop the anime, round about the time she got into Eva, it must have been about ten years or so ago, long before Saiyuki came into her anime scene.

Goku blinked for a moment before looking down his hands clutching at the railing.

“It's what I heard that woke me… your friend Kougaiji arriving.” Cloud mused.

“Good senses you got there.” She took a drag of the cigarette.

“Zassas nastananda zassas. Zassas nastananda zassas.” Fire murmured. She continued the chant, drawing the circle under the bed in her rent apartment. She stopped as she completed it, and the circle began to glow a soft white. It soon faded away and she smirked to herself. Good everything was prepared. She got up, her knees popping after kneeling for hours to draw the circle and imbue it with dark magic. She was ready to start her plan. She would slip the talisman she had made into a bag Tobias would pick up. Then, after it worked into him and he became her love sick slave, she would bed him here. Using the book's magic she would take his soul into her own, and then kill the remaining four. Then she would be complete and with the dark magic enhancing her own abilities not even Water could stop her.

 

~*~*~*~

 

Water's pool was rippling, breaking the pool up into four sections. In the top left one the baby rested in the woman's arms, in the one to the right was the white haired priest, in the one below that was the red-haired water remnant, and in the one to the left was the dark haired man cloaked in red. Behind Water, the golden eyed man, the plant man, and the blond monk floated, each having a horrible dream about the woman in her various forms as wife, mother, and father.

He already had two of her children, she was furious about that already and he had her husband. It was clear that that part of her soul belonged to the golden eyed man. The children were part of that soul as well, if he didn't play this properly he could end up causing the rest of the souls to close off her connection to that soul, allowing her to fight him better. He waved his hand and the pool dropped the image of the baby.

The redhead was not connected to her soul yet, she liked him and obviously found him a source of pleasure, that did not make him a mate. Chances were good that the redhead was only a passing fling. Waters were sexual and while they were monogamous, he was just a remnant without the monogamous trait. Water shook his head as he waved his hand, the red head vanished and he stared at the pale hair of the priest and the dark hair of the creature. Which one would cause more pain?

 

~*~*~*~

 

Air let out a huff as he appeared in the next world…. “Replacement, replacement, replacement….” Grumbling time was running out Fire was going to kick his ass in this private yet unspoken competition.

If Cloud wasn't turning out to be such a hard bastard and constantly round her he could have snatched him, but the mere sight of her made his defenses shoot up and refuse to be captured. She was also learning and fast how to control her powers.

“I'd been so damn close.”

He stopped outside the florist and looked inside at the four men inside with the horde of teenage girls wanting to buy their flowers.

“You're over eighteen then? Well then beautiful…. This is for you.”

“Eeee Yohji…” The young girl took the flower squealing.

Yohji's small ponytail was yanked back by the second youngest of the team. “Quit it.”

“Ah Ken what the hell?”

There was a scoff from the silent red headbehind the counter taking a sale. The youngest merely laughing at the two.

Air raised a brow. “I'm not kidnapping another perv… the mouth on the last one was bad enough.”

 

~*~*~*~

 

The silence hung between them as he stood there on the balcony of her apartment, his gloved hands moved over the railing. He looked down to where Zack's bike had been parked by one of the others, before looking at her.

“Can we train again tomorrow Cloud. You and me. I need to become stronger. I have so much to live for this time.” Aerith whispered.

Cloud nodded. “We can…”

Aerith gave a slight smile. “Good. I was worried you were going to say no after earlier today. I'm no Tifa… and I am fairly rusty.”

“I'll go easy on you.” Cloud looked at her.

“Not to easy because I won't get stronger if you-” She stopped. Aerith looked over her shoulder for a moment. She obviously felt Goku staring.

“Why do you guys always look at her like that?” Goku asked from the balcony over.

Cloud saw Aerith blush before looking away she focused on smoking her cigarette.

“Look at her like what?” Cloud looked up.

Kougaiji looked to him before guiding Goku inside. “Hey where are we going? Can I get some food or something?”

Cloud looked at Aerith who watched as they vanished inside.

 

J'dee could feel the blush, Goku had seen the looks, she closed her eyes, those looks she got always frightened her. To have someone look at you like that made every part of her inside panic. She hadn't done anything to lead Cloud on had she?

She looked up at him; he was looking over the view of the park from the apartment like remembering something.

She blinked for the moment, Aerith had seen some of Zack in Cloud somewhere, but she was looking and the only thing that reminded her of Zack was the SOLDIER like stance.

Cloud looked at her.

“Is something wrong?”

“Nothing.” J'dee looked down.

Aerith saw some of Zack in Cloud… She knew though she was not seeing it. She just saw him as Cloud. Now when Zack had his hair the old way there was a slight similarity there… She thought on it. There were more similarities she knew it she'd seen the AMV's on Youtube. But in person it was so much harder to spot. Cloud wasn't as perverted as Zack, he was more in dept and not really as sympathetic. It was enough to be a head sore at times.

 

~*~*~*~

 

A wail broke the darkness and Belle groaned as she woke up to Alphonse howling.

“I'm here, Al, I'm here,” she muttered as she got up and moved to Alphonse's crib. She quickly picked up the baby and moved him over to the changing table, all made by Ed. She quickly changed Alphonse's dirty diaper. The door opened and Vincent entered, obviously alerted by the noise.

Belle finished changing Alphonse before she opened the top of her night shirt, freeing a breast and allowing Alphonse to suckle. She felt full and wonderful as she held Alphonse. Her lips pressed to his forehead and she turned, surprised when she found Vincent right behind her, staring at Alphonse. His claws moved to stroke the tiny head and Belle smiled.

“You look right,” he spoke and Belle blushed. “Did she know her child?” Belle closed her eyes and focused on Lucrecia. The memories came not of happiness but terror and Belle turned from Vincent.

“You know she did,” Belle could remember the original hopes Lucrecia had for Sephiroth and how they mutated as the experiment went on. “She failed horribly so many times.” She turned to look at Vincent. “I'm sorry you've paid so heavily for what she did. If there is any way I could make up what she did to you…” It hung in the air for a moment. They locked eyes and Belle wondered what was going through his mind as she stared at his crimson eyes.

 

~*~*~*~

 

“It's been along damn day.” Tobias sighed wearily. He was sitting on the edge of his pool, soaking his aching feet in soothing water. Misato and Shinji were next to him doing the same, as they stared at the edge of his woods near the barn. The trees and brush had been burned away and now you could clearly see the barn. At least you wouldn't have to walk along the path to get to the rotting structure.

 

“I guess I'm going to have to start fixing it up on the outside now that you can see it.” Tobias muttered. Shinji chuckled and Misato snorted.

 

“You're damn lucky the fire department didn't show up either.” Misato commented, swinging her feet in the pool. “Now you have to figure out how to get rid of the charred woods and tree stumps.”

 

“Still it'll look nice when you finish and the yard is expanded.” Shinji commented before yawning. Tobias nodded to himself and over looked his two roommates. Shinji was covered in soot and scrapes and looked thoroughly worn out, but the boy was smiling to himself. He had come leaps and bounds from the shy, depressed boy he had been four months ago. While Tobias and Washu (when she had been there) were large parts of helping the transformation along, Misato's own growth helped Shinji's along.

 

Still a fun loving, energetic woman, Misato seemed more content then before. She didn't seem to be drowning her sorrows and the pressure of her position in Nerv in booze (not that she had given it up either) but seemed more relaxed then before. She was coming to terms with her lot in life. This time with Tobias and others gave her space to process everything. Seeing that anime of themselves had helped her absorb everything and to process and plan for the future. She knew what was coming and she had plans in place on how to deal with. Thanks to Washu's influence Misato was a decent with a computer. She was by no means a super hacker like Maya or Ritsuko but she would be able to influence the Magi.

 

This confidence shone in Misato now and it wasn't some fake confidence induced by alcohol, this was her own and it made her just…shine. Sitting there by his pool, her sneakers and socks tossed carelessly to the side, her beautiful long legs lazily moving in the water, her shorts and tank top smeared with soot, her hair disarrayed and dirty as well, even her proud face was covered with soot. She was silhouetted in the moon light which was full.

 

To Tobias, she was one of the most beautiful things he had ever seen.

 

“Misato, would you like to go out tomorrow night?” Tobias blurted out, unable to help himself. Misato glanced over at him. Tobias fidgeted nervously under her gaze. Misato eyed him, this man who had turned her down to sleep with her while she was drunk. Who had kissed her and kept quiet about it, and let her figure it out on her own with no pressure as her memory of that booze filled night returned to her. Who had so much for her, Shinji, who had risked life and limb for a computer program, and would do so for them.

 

“I'd love too.” She replied. She leaned over and kissed him on the cheek. “I'd been waiting for you to ask.”

 

“I've been scared to.” Tobias replied, and neither noticed Shinji quietly leaving with a smile on his face.

 

“Well, we'll just have to get over that won't we?” Misato teased and Tobias grinned. They were silent for a moment before she spoke again. “Just don't hurt me, Toby. If it doesn't work out I'm okay with that just don't hurt me.”

 

Tobias smiled gently and took her hand.

 

“That's an easy promise to make.”

 

~*~*~*~

 

Cloud watched her as she smoked her cigarette, they rarely said anything, but it wasn't a bad silence, just a comfortable silence at least in his eyes.

Just seeing her and knowing she was alright it was a comfort, to think she had another self another life, if only slightly different in a world similar to his own, without the monsters, materia, lifestream, mako or ShinRa running the shots.

Cloud's arm slipped round hers pulling her head to his shoulder and she almost folded into him.

“You're worried… I know Zack is in there. We'll get him back.”

He saw the small smile. “I know we will.” She stubbed the cigarette out in the ashtray before turning round in his arms and slipping up on tip toes gave him a kiss on the cheek.

“Aerith?” He blinked looking at her.

“A thank you for being so good and supportive to me. I know how you felt about her… It must hurt you to see me half the time… So I try not to keep looking like her.”

“No it relieves me actually that you got to live. It eases that pain if only a little.”

Aerith nodded her head slowly. “I'm glad then.” Her hand slipped into his. “Now lets go get some sleep.”

Cloud let her pull him along inside shutting the door and pulling the curtain closed, leaving just a thin strip open to let the moonlight come through for some light.

She moved up to him he blinked watching her hand move to the buckles of his outfit. “I know you can sleep in anything but I for one am not letting my hair get snagged in there… There or there…” She remarked undoing the several buckles.

Cloud felt his cheeks flush as she undid the buckles, hands slowly nimbly moving along each one.

 

Aerith had at least three of them undone by the time his resolve had slipped, tilting her chin up for a moment she blinked and he let his head lower lips capturing hers. Her fingers moved into his turtleneck and she clung on as he picked her up depositing her on the dresser, his mouth moving over hers swiftly.

Truth was he had thought about this, often since seeing her but never acted on it. He missed Tifa that was obvious, but he had missed Aerith even more.

But she had a curious look in her eyes when she glanced at him, like she was in shock or something else of disbelief that he was even real.

Breaking the kiss, she looked up at him her face flushed. “Uh… wow…”

His hand moved to the base of the long jersey she wore to bed. “I'm sorry I shouldn't…” He was moving in on the woman Zack liked but it was so hard to tell if the feelings he had were his own anymore or a phantom remnant of Zack's memories.

Her hand moved to his shoulder armor and she pulled at it. “It's okay… I think I need to right now… to ease my worries.” She looked up at him.

Cloud pulled the armor off the pulled the turtleneck up and off, he saw her eyes skim his chest and she blushed.

It was a cute blush it made him smile, his hand slipped into her hair leaning down he captured her mouth again.

 

J'dee hadn't felt she made any move on Cloud since he arrived, but maybe partially she had subconsciously wanted to and his link, love for Aerith also contributed, to this part where they were stripping each other as they made their way to the bed.

She gave Cloud a light push and he fell down on the mattress before she crawled over his now naked body, her mouth moving over his. Gojyo was gone and Havoc she wasn't quite ready to face that awkwardness of him asking her `Are they still watching?'

Clouds hands moved to her waist, then she felt one hand roll up to her breasts, the other moving downward as their tongues seemed to tangle round each other.

She didn't care that he mumbled Aerith's name, her body since Havoc had gone into over drive, betraying her when in close proximity of the hottest anime and game based bishies to brace her screen were paraded round her like fresh meat. Her body it reacted it flushed and she became an uncontrollable mess. Like now.

She rarely had confidence topping anyone due to the hurtful memories but Cloud looked nothing like him, acted nothing like him.

She let out the moan as she felt fingers sink into the core of her sex.

 

Cloud was aware of the moan, he knew he wasn't the best in the bedroom, due to spending more time fighting than actually having any sexual gratification or release, but she reacted none-the-less.

“You know what you want… at least.” She whispered against his lips before licking them softly. Her hand found his length, her hand moved over it and she hissed.

“That's so going to hurt…” She blushed.

Cloud blinked for a moment, once again words that Aerith wouldn't say. “Sorry?”

“Don't be… trust me…” She kissed him softly.

Cloud groaned against her mouth as her hand stroked him into an arousal, while his fingers thrust in causing her hips to rock against his hand, slowly lathering her sex up into a wetness.

 

~*~*~*~

 

Fire frowned. So the boy was going to date the drunk was he? She narrowed her eyes at the report before vaporizing it in burst of flame. Well she could deal with that. She summoned a shadow, even though she detested them. Pitful things, she had no idea why Air relied on them so, she could barely stand the ones she had watching Tobias. She paid the one she summoned no mind as it appeared in her study. It's eyes widened as it saw the markings and diagrams in Fire's study. Black magic, it would have to inform Air and the others as soon as possible. After all, not reporting it would be in violation of the orders from Air to spy of Fire.

 

“You, place this into Tobias's wallet, and make sure you are not noticed.” Fire snapped handing the shadow the talisman of paper to the shadow. It nodded and took it. It soon faded away. After placing the talisman, it would report immediately to Air.

 

~*~*~*~

 

Water watched the woman as she spoke to the men. She smiled kindly at both of them, her eyes soft for the priest, always kind words and gentle tones. The dark man was given a look of redemption and he decided to do his research. It was easy enough to go to the library.

Water walked into the public building and took a seat in front of the computer. He found a search engine and typed in the world `Reno' for an image search. He got the city of Reno, Nevada. Failure. He tried the combination for images in `Reno' and `people.' Again photos of people in Reno, Nevada. Water smirked, well he would have to remember in this world those of the other worlds were often characters in television and what not. He tried `Reno' and `character.' This time he was rewarded with pictures of dolls and people dressed up like Reno.

Third time was success and Water saw something called Advent Children. He searched images for it and he almost passed an image of a red caped figure. He clicked on it, but the link was dead. Well he had something and he began to search.

Soon enough Water had a name `Vincent Valentine' and the history of the character. It didn't take long for him to look up the love of Vincent, Lucrecia Cresent. Even with the computer generated character Water smiled, he recognized the woman's face in the character and he nearly laughed when he learned that she was the mother of Sephiroth. It was ironic and Water knew he would have to bring Vincent. Belle would no doubt have issues with Lucrecia, turning from Vincent to Hojo and knowing her natural tendencies, she would more likely than not be searching for redemption through Vincent.

Water smiled, he now had his next target and it was just capturing him that would be the best. It was time he took someone Belle loved from right in front of her.

 

~*~*~*~

 

Air rolled his shoulder, so far the worlds he'd jumped through there was just nothing. Dragonball proved to be an annoyance, Trunks was now on alert so Goten was guarded, Weiss Kreuz, they were only human assassins sure but still not strong enough, Buffy was awol after the hellmouth and town being destroyed, he had no clue where she went, not that he really cared, she too was only human.

He wasn't going to Eva because the only strength there were the damn robots and he hated robots.

He stopped by the cottage and looked at the sun setting then to the empty swinging chair, Rosette was dead the next best thing was Chrono… but full blooded demons were always harder to control, even tamed ones.

“I'm out I'm fucken out of choices, Cloud or Chrono… Argh!” He kicked the seat before waving his hand letting the seat shatter from the impact of the wind.

Turning round he glanced to the small cottage seeing the figure standing on the porch looking at him tiredly. Purple hair, red cape. Looking as harmless as a child he knew then Chrono didn't have long left to live.

“Fuck… he looks like shit…” He glanced up at the sky. “Cloud it is then…”

 

~*~*~*~

 

Reno lay on the couch and he rolled over seeing something flash by the balcony. He sat up Turk training kicking in he grabbed the EMR rushing out onto the balcony and he stopped dead seeing Zack's silhouette standing there, his eyes blank of any emotion before he glanced at him.

Reno shivered at the look, then he saw Zack drop what was in his hand, the flowers, yellow and white, all so familiar.

Subconsciously Zack was still searching for her reacting to the faintest memories he had left. Reno wasn't an idiot to know that. The flowers.

“Zack…” Reno eased towards the former SOLDIER carefully. “It's me… Reno… remember me yo…?”

“R-Reno…” Zack's hand went to his head and he slumped.

Reno reacted on his natural speed catching Zack and he watched as the darkness seemed to drip from Zack's body, and Reno felt it, ooze over him, he cringed.

“Gross… yo.” He saw it touch base with the balcony floor before seeping into it.

“H-help… pain…” Hands gripped his arms.

There was a flicker of blue in the eyes, before he looked to the sliding door, the movement inside catching his attention.

“A-Aerith…”

Reno looked, he blinked for a moment getting Zack to sit down. “Hold on yo she could be sleeping…” He moved up to the door then peeked through the smallest slit in the curtain his breath caught seeing J'dee and Cloud.

His eyes flickered to Zack sitting on the seat head in his hands. He glanced back watching what was obviously something he liked to watch on his porn.

“Damn that's not fair yo… Cloud getting some before I do.” Reno mumbled.

 

~*~*~*~

 

Belle mumbled in her sleep something was bothering her. In her sleep her vapor vision was aware of everything in the apartment, Alphonse mostly, but she was aware of J'dee. Something was going on with J'dee and slowly Belle woke up.

She sat up and looked around, the room was fine and while she didn't hear anything she could easily see it. Belle closed her eyes and let the vapor in J'dee's room be here eyes and she gasped before blushing deeply. There was nothing quite like seeing your roommate intimate with a man, a very well muscled man with an extremely nice ass. Belle shook her head before she realized just who was being intimate with J'dee.

“Really? Cloud?” Belle muttered as she sighed and shook her head. She desperately hoped that it was Cloud who began the seduction, because Zack would be crushed when they saved him. Belle rolled back over, cutting off her vapor vision in J'dee's room, this would have to be discussed tomorrow.

 

~*~*~*~

 

Cloud let out a groan as he felt her sex slide around his arousal.

Aerith hissed, her head thrown back as she gasped, the blush on her face.

“I don't normally… top.” She whispered.

Cloud sat up arms moving round her, his hand moving to the side of her face as his lips captured hers.

“It's okay we're not really forward people.”

Aerith smiled. “I'm too forward apparently…”

Cloud rocked his hips up, his hand pushing the hair from her face. “Fine by me.”

Her hands moved over his shoulders and she smiled.

It was warming to see that smile, to feel her body so close and to be buried so deeply inside it was like nothing could ruin the moment.

 

It had only been a few days since Gojyo had been with her and she admitted she missed the red headed perverts cheesy come ons but Cloud was completely different, she rarely felt comfortable topping anyone.

But Cloud held her, his hands explored her chest stomach while his mouth found a spot near her elbow to nip at making his gasp, causing her face to heat up, she never knew her arms were that sensitive.

She should have felt guilty at stealing Cloud from Tifa but right now they were no where near those they cared about feeling lost and leaning on each other for some emotional support. At least that was how she saw it.

 

Cloud felt her hips begin to rise then fall as she started riding his arousal, her breath coming in soft quiet pants, he watched her flushing face. Her eyes moved to catch his.

“Sorry not used to going seme on anyone.” She whispered.

“It's fine…” His hand moved to her face fascinated with her, her ponytail had slightly come undone the ribbon rolling through the tail as her hair rolled over her shoulder.

His hands moved to the ribbon tugging it free letting her hair fall free of the confines and across her back and over her shoulder, the moonlight hitting it, he was able to see the copper red glow.

Aerith was pretty now as she had been in life, if it was a dream right now he didn't want to wake. She still held the curves his eyes had sneaked a look at in the past.

He just wanted to keep her and it was a bad thought, he had promised Zack. Promised him, to keep her safe even from him.

Cloud's hips rose up and he moved with her so fluently, she was getting lost in the feeling it was obvious from her face.

“Haa…… C-Cloud…”

His mouth moved to her neck and he heard the soft gasp pass her lips, her body shivered, and he moved her till she was on the bed on her back looking up at him, her hands lingering on his shoulders lightly.

 

~*~*~*~

 

Reno stepped back he looked to where Zack seemed to stand the decomposition didn't look to good, it was slowly eating at his body. Yet Cloud's account of running into an unaffected Sephiroth who didn't suffer anything. Zack must have drew the short straw.

“Zack wait where are you going?”

Zack blinked for a moment. “Sephiroth… calling… I can hear him…”

He moved to the balcony jumping up on the railing before jumping off Reno reached over trying to grab him and he watched as Zack vanished the moment he hit the ground being swallowed up into the darkness.

“Shit…” His fist hit the balcony.

He heard the sliding door open and he looked up seeing Roy look over the edge of the balcony.

“What are you doing? You do know what time it is right?”

“Uhh… Zack…” Reno motioned down.

Roy looked seeing the black shadows vanish sinking into the earth. Roy frowned. “How's he holding up?”

“About as good as a mindless Zombie yo. He's obviously searching trying to remember something but not sure of what.” Reno replied and he flipped out his cellphone.

“Who are you calling?”

“Tseng…” Reno replied before glancing to the flowers on the ground of the balcony, he walked up to J'dee's door peeking inside watching the two figures tangling in the sheets.

The other end rung to his surprise the porthole had to still be open somewhere. “Reno.”

“Yo… Zack's not looking good yo.”

“You spoke to him?”

“For a moment.”

“Aerith?”

“Letting Cloud fuck her right now… I'll tell them later… Really good porn yo.”

Tseng sighed. “Did Zack see?”

“Nope…”

“Listen Reno the life stream has gone… The church as well…”

Reno froze. “What…?”

“It's gone Reno, the planet's life stream seems to have vacated… Look away from the door and outside at the sky tell me what do you see…”

Reno stepped over the flowers and he looked up, he froze suddenly. “What the fuck is that yo?”

“It's night there right… call me in the morning let me know if it's still there.”

“Will do sir…” Reno flipped his cellphone blinking seeing the flickering of the large plates forming in the sky above. “Fuck me yo… this is not good.”

 

~*~*~*~

 

J'dee let her legs hook round Cloud's waist as his hips rocked into her, her head thrown back into the pillow as she gasped greedily for air.

Cloud's arousal surged in and out of her body like a man possessed; he was probably terrified at the same time. As far as she knew Zack or Cloud never really got the chance to get this close to Aerith. She felt guilty for letting Cloud beat Zack to the punch, but there was that problem that Zack and Tifa weren't within their need of getting laid radar.

It didn't hurt that he saw her as Aerith because in the end she could throw the Tifa card at him after it all. That was where he belonged. But right now it was obvious that he was in love with Aerith as well. Another complication to add to the list, especially if she planned on saving Zack.

 

Cloud let his head drop, holding himself up on his arms as he rocked into her body, he had never pictured it to feel like this in his head.

She was right there, lying under him, her hands on his shoulders, her face covered in a blush he had only seen when Cid had said something in his normal crude manner.

“A-Aerith…” Cloud was desperate and hurting, like she was going to vanish on him any moment now, and he was going to wake up from a dream.

“Shhhh…” Her hand touched the side of his face. “I'm here… not going anywhere…” Her fingers hooked into the back of his head pulling his head down before her mouth moved over his in a soft kiss, easing the fear, and the pain.

Aerith's body moved with his she managed to keep up with his urgency, her body accepting him, welcoming him like he had never thought possible. He didn't want it to end, but he was so close.

She broke the kiss to suck in a breath reminding him she was alive and she needed air to breath.

“I'm not hurting you… am I?”

“Only the size.” She joked tapping him on the side of the face playfully. “But it's not your fault.”

Aerith's smile warmed his heart and he wrapped his arms round her loosing himself into her body more, clinging desperately to her.

Her arms moved round his shoulders pulling him closer and she kissed him on the top of the head.

“You feel good…” Cloud whispered.

“Thanks…”

 

Although he knew he wasn't her first and she wasn't his, it felt as if he was the way her body held him so firmly, tightly taking him deeper to the point where he was sure he saw bright white spots on the back of his eyelids.

 

J'dee could feel her orgasm rock through her legs, she was told by one of her previous men that only those with a good knowledge on their abilities powers and able to relax their body were able to feel an orgasm through their stomach, legs right up to her arms.

And she felt it, boy did she ever, her legs trembled as Cloud's mouth laid claim to her neck, his hands claimed her breasts while his arousal continued surging into her body hitting that sweet spot she thought had surely retreated under his powerful thrusts.

“Ah….” She bit her lower lip trying not to make a sound. Reno was in the lounge she didn't need to have his lip first thing in the morning.

She felt her body clamp down and Cloud groaned.

“God… A-Aerith…”

She closed her eyes and she knew her orgasm had finally been and gone. But the aftershock had her body trembling. She knew she was a difficult bedroom partner, for most men. She frustrated them, they enjoyed her body they enjoyed their release but only a few that she could count on one hand had actually made her body go off like this.

She never pictured Cloud to be one of them, but the link to Aerith probably had helped, she felt Cloud hit home deep and she gasped. He stilled for a moment before his release seemed to fill her through then she blinked realizing what they had forgot again.

`Condom… shit…'

J'dee looked to the side and froze she saw the peeping redhead at the sliding door to her balcony.

“…” She turned back to Cloud who was panting heavily. “Reno…” She whispered.

Cloud groaned and looked over before the door opened.

“Yo… Took your time noticing me.”

 

Cloud pulled the blankets over himself and Aerith. “You better not have grabbed any momentos.” Reno eyed his cellphone in realization like he should have.

“This… no… damn next time though. I had to call Tseng yo. We got a problem or at least our world does… seems a few extra bits have gone missing and that which we thought collapsed not by my fault its right out there.” Reno motioned.

Cloud looked at Aerith as she sat up. “The curtain Reno.”

Reno pulled it open.

Cloud stared the sector plates sat in the distance blocking out part of the view of the sky.

“That looks familiar…” Aerith gripped the sheet.

“Yeah it should yo. Used to sit over your head for most of your life after you escaped ShinRa… or haven't you remembered that part yet…”

Cloud slipped from Aerith slowly grabbing a sheet wrapping it around himself before moving up to the door looking at it. He saw the faint wisp of green that seemed to circle round it.

“The life stream…”

“Yeah… not good for this world yo.” Reno looked over his shoulder stepping back.

 

“RENO THE FLOWERS!”

Reno stopped and he looked down at the bunch before looking to J'dee as she was out of the bed picking them up, she sat there and he got an eyeful of nakedness as she held them, her fingers rolling over the petals causing one of his own perversions to react.

Cloud pulled her up and into his sheet. Shooting Reno a protective glare.

“What yo, I can look it's not like she tried to hide it.” Reno motioned.

J'dee blinked looking at Reno then at the flowers. “Where…?” She began.

Reno sighed. “Zack was here yo… I don't think even he knew why, he had them, then bailed because he heard Sephiroth calling.”

J'dee looked at the flowers. “He's in a repetitive state then, repeating what he remembers last.” She mused.

“Remembers last?” Cloud asked.

J'dee looked sad. “He brought me flowers along with a note that said he was sorry. It was addressed to Aerith.”

“Yeah he called you that too yo, asked where you were I said you were probably sleeping.” Reno smirked. “But I didn't know you were sleeping with someone else.”

J'dee flushed. “He didn't see did he?”

“No, he looked to out of it. And yo he looks like shit decomposing an all that gross stuff.”

 

J'dee slipped from Cloud's arms grabbing her robe before slipping into it walking into the lounge.

Cloud followed her seeing her put the flowers in a vase and setting them in the middle of the table.

J'dee looked to Reno and Cloud watching her, she glanced at them. “What…?”

Reno shook his head. “Shit at times you remind me of her yo… it's kinda weird to because you don't always. Like Aerith but kinkier shame she wasn't like that.”

J'dee saw Cloud hit him over the back of the head. “Couch Reno.” He motioned.

“Yeah yeah…” Reno grumbled.

“Aerith…” Cloud held out his hand.

J'dee glanced at Reno as he slumped onto the couch. “Don't tell Belle please…”

“What do I get for it yo?”

“Reno!” Cloud snapped.

Reno held up his hands. “Alright alright.” He chuckled. “On to round two yo I understand…”

J'dee flicked a gust of air at him slapping him on the back of the head before walking into her room motioning at the door as it closed on a gust of wind behind her.

 

~*~*~*~

 

Belle woke up feeling skin and tasting something familiar in it. She was confused at first staring at the ceiling while feeling hot flesh at the same time, it was then that Belle realized that someone was taking a shower. Someone who tasted delicious and something low on her body tightened with need. She closed her eyes and she could make out a lean body with beautiful muscle definition.

Her breath got faster as she realized the male body was hard and ready for action. Slowly she pulled back as she realized she was spying on someone, no better than Toby. She pulled back until she realized that the body had a thin band of long hair down the back and it became all to apparent who was in the shower.

Reno was putting on a show, she wondered if he knew how easily he had woken her with this early morning cleaning. She gasped as she called on Koumyou to help her find a way to meditate her need away, especially as Reno began to pleasure himself in his shower.

 

~*~*~*~

 

J'dee was up early, making her normal breakfast of banana on toast, pondering the topping of powdered chocolate or cinnamon. She eyed Reno wearily as he walked out of the shower in just his Turk pants. She knew what he'd been doing in their shower, knowing Belle had the ability to see.

“Will you stop tormenting her?” She sighed.

Reno flopped onto the couch picking up the Playstation remote and flicking to the game in there and playing not really caring whose game it was he was taking over.

“It's fun yo.”

“At least he's wearing pants this time.” Cloud sighed.

Reno chuckled. “What are you going to tell Tifa about last night yo?”

J'dee sighed and opted for powdered chocolate to sprinkle over the bananas.

She stopped feeling Cloud's hand move along her shoulder blades as he walked past and she blushed like mad.

“Are you sure Zack didn't see?” J'dee asked walking to the kitchen table with the plate.

“Positive yo, I was blocking the view.” Reno grinned.

Cloud's eyes were flat. “How thoughtful.” He sat down opposite J'dee.

“You know me yo. Always in it for the porn.” Reno seemed to chuckle in amusement.

J'dee felt bad embarrassed by the events. `How come I can't have one guy at a time why do I have to drawn them in like a cluster?' She thought to herself taking a bite of the toast she'd prepared for herself.

“I believe we should be worrying about how to return Alphonse is it… to his normal age, if I'm caught up on this correctly, he will be a target if he remains as is.” Cloud changed the topic.

J'dee let out a breathe of relief at the change. Glad for it.

“Last I heard Jim's helping organize it. Toby's crew is coming over tomorrow.” J'dee shook her head. She stopped for a moment and then realized that she hadn't had a chance to talk to Shinji since her memories woke up from the previous lifetimes. “I need to talk to Shinji.”

“Who?” Cloud and Reno looked at her.

“That's right both you guys are new. I'll fill you in later.”

“Shit that's right the plate yo!” Reno paused the game and raced out on to the balcony opening the sliding door.

 

J'dee blinked seeing Grimmjow saunter in sniffing the air. “Finally that brats born…”

“How convenient of you to vanish like that, kitty cat.”

“Tch…” Grimmjow made his way to the couch.

“Yo don't touch my game!” Reno ran in then stopped head tilting to the side and motioning at the hole in the Espada. “Seriously how the fuck is he still alive yo?”

“Well technically he's not really alive…” J'dee began then stopped. “No I'm not going to bother… Belle can explain that one.”

“Explain what?” Belle asked walking out of her room looking even more sleepier than normal, Alphonse in her arms.

 

~*~*~*~

 

Tobias sighed to himself and glanced at the house from which he was currently banned. Misato wanted some privacy to get ready for tonight, but that seemed to only apply to men. When Melfina had learned about it, she had shown up with Gene the others in tow. Sending Gene and Jim outside with Tobias and Shinji the women had barricaded the house and declared it off limits until seven when Tobias was going to “pick up” Misato.

 

“Mel did the same thing when we went on our first official date on Heifong.” Gene recalled, as the men worked on the charred area of Tobias's expanded lawn. They were dragging burnt trees to driveway for the landscapers that Tobias had called that morning. They were bringing a chipper which would turn the trees into mulch. The owner of the landscaping company had wanted to pay Tobias for the mulch but Tobias had asked for them to instead remove the stumps and rota-till the entire burned area. He could cover the area with grass seeds and hay himself, since it was early enough in the summer for it to take. Hopefully by fall new grass would be growing.

 

“So it turned out alright then?” Tobias asked, feeling hopeful. After all if Melfina could be alright with a Ctarl-Ctarl and an assassin helping her choose her outfit for a date then Misato should be just fine.

 

“Yeah except for that god awful perfume Aisha sprayed her with, but I'm sure Mel won't let her do that to Misato.” Gene informed him, and Tobias sighed with relief.

 

“Thank God for small favors.” He muttered. Tobias decided to take a break and sat on one of the stumps they had cut down already. He picked up a bottle of water from cooler next to the stump and took a long drink. The others decided to join him, and Tobias was surrounded by his friends as they rested and watched the landscapers mulch the trees and yank up some of the remaining stumps. The one they rested at was slated to be last.

 

“You sure do work fast Toby.” Jim commented. Tobias shrugged.

 

“To be honest it was the landscapers idea to come out the same day I called them. The sooner he got the mulch they less he has to pay I guess.” Tobias turned his gaze to the house again and sighed. “Man I wish I knew what was happening in there.”

 

Then it happened. Everything seemed to slowly shift and Tobias's sight changed. The lawn somehow how got darker, the white of his home turned dark blue. He saw different colored blobs moving in the dark blue of the house. He saw one raise its arms above its head, and he noted the blob was a mix of yellows, oranges, and reds.

 

“What the hell…?” Tobias muttered. He turned to look at Shinji, and noted he could see him more clearly. The distinct shape of his body, and different areas were different shades of yellow orange, hell even red. Some parts even looked dark purple for Christ's sake!

 

“Toby what happened to your eyes, they're completely red!” Shinji hissed, glancing at the landscapers who hadn't noticed yet.

 

“I'm not sure.” Tobias replied, shocked. “I was just wishing I could see into the house and then my vision changed.” He blinked and rubbed at his eyes. “I think I'm seeing in infrared.”

 

Jim got up and moved front of his line of sight, gently examining his face and pulling at his eyes.

 

“You're pupils are gone.” Jim flatly stated. “The whites have turned completely red as well. The entirety of your eyes has gone red in color, like it's been dipped in red paint. I'd say another of your Fire elemental abilities has awakened, you're seeing body heat.”

 

“Well shit.” Tobias muttered. He began blinking rapidly trying to turn it off. “How the hell do I turn it off?”

 

“Focus on the details of the grass.” Jim said. “Infrared is hard to see details of things that give off little to no heat. You said you wanted to see inside the house but your normal vision couldn't do that, so this ability awakened. Try seeing the details of something only your normal vision can do.”

 

Tobias focused on the lawn and grinned as his vision slowly faded back to normal. To the others watching his eyes seemed to slowly drain of red until they were normal, in the same shade of blue.

 

“That was so cool.” Tobias replied. The guys all grinned.

 

~*~*~*~

 

Belle sighed as she fed Alphonse the formula from the bottle, she needed to server her ties to baby Alphonse, he was going to be grown, he was going to be taken from baby to preteen she had to pull away from the bonding activities such as breast feeding. Of course he breasts were aching, she would have to use a breast pump to siphon her milk down before she started lactating through her shirts.

She noted the way Cloud and J'dee were acting as if nothing had happened and she felt annoyed by this. They were adults and they weren't going to owe up to what they did. Zack was barely gone and the two people he cared most about had betrayed him with each other. Belle was pissed, she couldn't stand for immorality, and betraying Zack was too much.

“My I had a strange dream last night,” Belle stated and sure enough Reno jumped up.

“Was it a sex dream?” Reno grinned and Belle smirked.

“Actually it was, but not about me, it was about someone else,” Belle said, making a point not to look at the two guilty parties. “The strangest thing was it was like my vapor vision, I could feel faces, but I couldn't imagine something like that happening after Zack vanished.”

 

~*~*~*~

 

J'dee was blushing bright red as Belle dropped the more than obvious hint, she had seen all that had occurred with Cloud last night.

She mumbled an incoherent reply before munching on her toast.

“Yeah you two smell like sex.” Grimmjow chuckled as he played against Cloud on the Playstation 2 game Reno had taken over.

J'dee looked to Cloud who blushed.

“I think we need to investigate the plates. If they're there and it there are buildings up there.” Cloud remarked keeping the topic away from the suddenly easily talked about sexual experience of the night just been.

“I'm with that. We can take Hisagi, Goku and Armstrong or something like that.” J'dee commented. “Goku needs to be distracted. And Armstrong has got enough muscle that we can use as a diversion if we need to escape quick incase of another attack.”

“Something you're neglecting to mention?” Belle commented.

“We'll be training later today.” Cloud stated.

Reno let out a laugh. “So that's what you're calling it yo… will there be nakedness cause if so… invite me!”

Belle balanced Alphonse in one of her arms easily using the other to slap Reno over the back of the head.

“Tell me how does Tseng and Rufus put up with you?”

“They don't I'm normally sent out on missions with Rude and Elena yo.” Reno stated in reply matter of factly.

J'dee finished her toast standing up she headed to her room. “Going to get changed. Cloud we'll head out after that. “Let Armstrong, Goku and Hisagi know.”

 

Cloud watched Aerith slip into her room and he turned round seeing three sets of eyes looking at her.

“You cheated on Tifa yo…” Reno smirked. “If you won't do her I will.”

“Reno just stop.” Cloud huffed. “It's confusing enough as is.”

Belle let out a sigh. “What is it with her, she just keeps letting this happen.”

Cloud blinked. “It's normal for Aerith to just…” He cleared his throat.

“J'dee Cloud.” Belle corrected gently. “and yes, it makes me wonder and worry about her with the amount of men she goes through. It never lasts long at all.”

“So she's a one night stand kina girl or does she just like the casual fuck yo?”

Belle moved fast Cloud hadn't realized, but she stepped between him stopping him from attacking Reno. “Hisagi's on the lower level outside, just get everyone sorted I'll handle Reno.” She stated.

“Oooooh handle me eh? It's about time yo. Hey kitty cat watch the brat.”

“What?!” Grimmjow exclaimed.

 

~*~*~*~

 

Tobias finished dressing, grabbing his wallet and keys and shoving them into their designated pockets of his slacks. His heart pounded wildly in his chest. He was really going to do this, he was taking Misato Katsuragi out for dinner and a show. He nervously picked up the dozen roses he'd gone to pick up after the landscapers had left. Now, showered and dressed in a nice pair of slacks and a polo shirt, he was going to walk to the outside of his own house and knock. And Misato would be there, looking beautiful as always.

 

It took all of Tobias's will not to faint at the mere thought of it.

 

~*~*~*~

 

Belle watched as Cloud left the apartment and with a sigh Belle turned around and slapped Reno with all she had in her. Her hand throbbed as she quickly grabbed Reno's shirt and pulled him so they were nose to nose.

“Look, you're hot, you're great at sex, but you are not someone close to my heart and souls. You will never speak about J'dee like that again or so help me I will make all the liquid in your dick turn into pin sized spikes throughout your glans!” Belle hissed and Reno's eyes were a mix of surprised, shocked, and obvious arousal.

“I'm hot right now,” Grimmjow chuckled and Belle closed her eyes, causing the blood in Grimmjow's groin to get cold quickly. “FUCK! FUCK! What the hell!?”

“Take a hot shower and it will go away,” Belle ordered and Grimmjow was gone, she was surprised she was alive but she didn't show it as she held Alphonse to her while she glared at Reno.

“It's the truth,” Reno stated, his facing going blank and dangerous. His hand moved to her wrist and Belle knew he could crush it.

“Don't say it so vulgar,” Belle hissed. “I would crawl over broken glass for her and you will not sully her with that language.”

“What will you give me?” he asked and Belle leaned close.

“A shot, trust me, the next shower you take could be your last if you're not on my good side,” Belle threatened with a smile. Reno grinned as his hand wrapped tighter around her wrist and Belle focused on the blood in Reno's hand. His eyes grew wide as his hand released her wrist.

“Fuck, how are you…” his eyes got wider as he suddenly started sporting a massive hard on. Belle smiled as she leaned in close and bit his earlobe.

“I am water, blood is ninety percent water, you're like a puppet on my string,” Belle chuckled as she kissed his cheek. “Don't make me have to save you from Cloud or any of J'dee's other suitors.” Belle said as she headed to her room. “I need a nap.”

Reno watched Belle go, not sure if he wanted to hit her, kiss her, or just fuck her. He could go for any of them and come back for seconds and thirds. He looked down at his tented pants and wondered if she would be up to getting rid of it too. He grinned, yeah, fuck her was the one he wanted the most.

 

~*~*~*~

 

“So are you just that good that you can work on your own?” Misato asked.

 

“Not really, it took me years to get to where I am. I went straight from high school to college, and then I never really took a break. Doubled up on classes, took summer courses, and worked my ass off. Then I had to get certified as an architect, and technically start my own business. I had a lot of help, especially from my old teacher, Mr. Murphy. He got my name and designs out there early. By the time I was officially licensed, I had people clamoring for my designs. They're very basic, mostly blueprints but it's the layout that people love, my originality. I had one gentleman who ordered his study to be an exact replica of a starship bridge from his favorite television show.” Tobias replied.

 

This whole date was going better than he expected. They already knew a lot about each other, Tobias especially of Misato. Now they were filling in gaps that they didn't know. Misato had told him what it was like growing up with her parents. Tobias had told her about his, and Misato had informed him of the years from the Katsuragi Expedition to her enrollment in Gehrin and then the transition into Nerv. How she acquired Pen-Pen while working to put herself threw college and meeting Ritsuko and Kaji. Now Tobias was telling her about his college years to present.

 

“What was so hard about that?” Misato asked, curious. Tobias paused from answering as the waiter brought their salads. They thanked him and Tobias answered as he poured ranch over his.

 

“The entire bridge is circular. I had place the studs of the room offset at a few degrees to keep the room perfectly even. It was a pain in the ass but it worked out in the end.” Tobias replied and Misato grinned. She could imagine Tobias swearing and cursing away at his computer for an otaku like Kensuke.

 

“It must be fun.” She replied. Tobias munched on his salad thinking it over.

 

“I suppose it is.” Tobias replied after a moment. “I think the more challenging ones are for groups like habitat for humanity. I have minimal space to work with but a lot to fit in feasibly. Plus it gives me a good standing to do some pro-bono work for charity organizations.”

 

“Do you do that oft-?” Misato's question was cut off from a loud crash coming from the bar area in the restaurant. They both glanced to see a woman in red hair apologizing profusely to a wait she had bumped into, knocking the poor man over and sending his tray of drinks to the floor. Misato frown, thinking the woman was familiar and turned back to Tobias to comment on it. She stopped short when she saw him staring open mouthed at the woman. His expression was a bit glazed and he was just…staring.

 

Misato growled to herself. What the hell was wrong with him? She was about to kick him under the table to get his attention back on her when he stood. Without even looking at her he tossed some bills on the table along with his car keys.

 

“Go home Misato.” He replied roughly. Misato jerked in shock as he made his way to woman. He introduced himself as Misato watched it all in surprise.

 

`No way did Tobias just ditch me for that red headed bimbo!' Misato mentally snarled. Her anger died away as the woman laughed and moved close to Tobias who wrapped his arms around her. She saw him kiss her and felt her heart break.

 

`He…promised…'

 

Picking up the keys, Misato got up to leave.

 

For one of the few times in her life she needed to have a good hard cry.

 

~*~*~*~

 

Belle grumbled as she got up to answer the pounding on her apartment door. Whoever it was, they were damn lucky she was already up feeding Alphonse. Throwing the door open, she stopped from her rant cold when she saw Misato there with her make up tear streaked.

 

“Can I come in?”

 

To Be Continued…
