Chapter 6

New Feelings

Sephiroth awoke the next morning and yawned. The sun's morning rays pierced through the bedroom window. With one hand he rubbed the sleep out of his eyes and grabbed the remote. He flipped the T.V. on and changed the channel to the weather station.

Today's forecast for Costa de Sol! Today's highs will remain in the upper ninety's and our lows for tonight will be in the mid seventies. Same old same old so wear tons of sun block and stay in the shades!

Sephiroth groaned and got out of bed. He looked at his clock to see that it was eight thirty-nine. So I guess today is my first day of normal living. No more killing, no more Jenova, and hopefully no people recognizing him. Nope, today he was going to help Tifa out at the bar and whatever else there was.

Sephiroth opened his door and went straight to the bathroom. Tifa had bought him larger towels and he also like the new clothes she had given him. After a nice cool and refreshing shower, he got dressed and slowly walked downstairs. As he was looking at some photos hanging on the walls, a new scent caught his nose. It smelled so good that he walked right into the kitchen without knowing.

"Good morning Sephiroth. How was your night?" Tifa asked. Her back was facing him while she cooked something in a frying pan.

"It was actually great and relaxing. I have never had such a relaxing sleep in all my life. That's what happens when you're in SOLDIER." He answered.

Tifa's back stiffened and she froze. That word…SOLDIER…she despised it more then words could express. Sephiroth noticed the uneasiness in Tifa and began.

"What's smells so delicious?" he asked. Tifa woke up out of her little world and smiled.

"Pancakes, eggs and sausages." She replied.

"What's that?" Sephiroth asked. He had never heard of anything like that. On the other hand, he never tasted normal food before.

"You'll see just give me a few minutes. Can you look in the fridge and find me some butter? Oh, and if you don't mind, will you set the table?" she asked.

"Sure." Sephiroth answered uneasily. He walked over to the fridge and pushed. Nothing happened. He pushed again and still nothing happened. Why won't this damn door budge…maybe if I get Masamune…No, it will only destroy this blasted thing!

"Hey Tifa, do you have this locked or something? I keep pushing but it won't move." Sephiroth growled. Tifa burst out laughing and he turned to stare at the Looney woman.

"You are suppose to *pull* it, not push." She explained. A deep shade of red crawled across his cheeks and he mumbled, "I knew that…"

After breakfast, Tifa forced Sephiroth to go with her for a little trip around the city.

"Come on, I'll give you a tour of the city." She said.

"But it's scorching hot out there! I don't want to look like a radish!" Sephiroth protested.

"Then go upstairs and put on some swimming trunks and meet me downstairs." Tifa ordered.

"Why?"

"Because I said so!" she giggled.

"Fine…" He trudged upstairs and walked straight into his bedroom. I didn't think things would be so hard when I came back…Mother was right, she is very picky, but when she looks at me…Ooooh! How can anybody not resist her cherry red, yet soft eyes? Wait a damn second! What am I thinking abut? Tifa is Tifa and I'm Sephiroth, the new and improved sexy man?

He looked in the bathroom mirror and noticed that the swimming shorts looked good on his form. He looked around for his clothing and then suddenly there was a knock on the door.

"Sephiroth please get out of there! I've been waiting for over twenty minutes!" Tifa said desperately. He opened the door and saw Tifa smiling sheepishly.

"Sorry about that, but I need the bathroom." Tifa explained.

"O.k."

"Oh, and Sephiroth don't forget the beach blankets, which are in the small closet in my room, and the umbrella is in the corner." Sephiroth nodded and headed straight for Tifa's room. Though before he turned the knob, he froze. He was going in Tifa's private room…a woman's room… He shook his head and turned the knob. The door swung open and he cast a look around. The walls were the color of the sky except a shade darker. She had a small balcony window on the far side of the wall, a canopy bed located on the left, with a lamp nearby. He noticed several pictures that were hanging on the wall and many pitched up on the white, creamy dresser. The floor was all wooden and so burnished that it reflected the sun's light. He walked over to the dresser and saw old photos of when she was a little girl and one that he recognized. Tifa stood next to a guy with black hair and he stood next to them. Nibelhiem…right before I lost my sanity… how did she get this picture?

He looked at some and noticed several of the people from AVALANCHE.One face he would never forget was Cloud. The spiky over done hair gel guy who had defeated him. Sephiroth did not like the man even though Cloud did the right thing in killing him. Now the lovely lady Tifa who had taken Cloud's ultimate rival, Sephiroth in, hated him.

He quickly snapped out of his trance and walked over to the closet. He saw a large red beach blanket and several towels. He swiped two out and grabbed the umbrella. He walked downstairs and put the stuff down next to the door. He sat in one of the chairs and grabbed a magazine that was lying on the table. It was a weapon's catalog. He skipped several pages before he saw the page for swords. My gods! That can hardly hit two thousand Hp even if it was equipped with strength! This is just ridicules! Can't these people use their heads?He was looking over at the next page when he heard soft footsteps coming down the wooden, but sturdy stairs. He looked up and saw Tifa wearing a red two-piece swimming suit, with a silk sash draped over her slim waist. Thoughts piled through his head, words that he thought he never knew but all he could do or say was gape.

"What's wrong with you Sephiroth? Did you eat something bad?" Tifa asked. She laughed and grabbed the red beach blanket. While she was doing that, Sephiroth just watched the slim beauty walk past him with light steps. Every curve in her body was tempting and her muscled, but slim, elegant legs moved in rhythm of his heartbeat.

"You coming or not? The nice beach can't wait for us forever." She said. Sephiroth stood up and grabbed the umbrella.

"Let's get going." He said.

* Yup! I have turned it into a TiRoth! (Tifa/Sephiroth) I wonder if anybody ever seen this one coming? It's always TiRuf or AerClo Or AerSeph and so on. Well, Please R/R!!!! How is it going so far? *
