Chapter 2: Disaster: Part 1

 

The sun shone down with a magnificent iridescent beauty, the wind calmly wisped through the air. Cloud awoke feeling content were he was, opening one eye he gazed upon Tifa, sleeping in his arms. O how beautiful she is, with her long hair streaming down her chest, and they way she held him close even in her sleep.

Careful not to wake her, Cloud brushed strands of hair out of her face. `Gosh she is so beautiful,' he thought, 'we can finally be together, now that meteor is over.` Cradling her head against his well-muscled chest his thoughts drifted off to the future. Where are they going to live? What are they going to do? `Hmm, maybe we can open up a new 7th Heaven.' Unknown to him, however, Tifa opened her eyes. Seeing her love so deep in thought, a smile crept across her face. He never did seem to stop making her wonder. “How did you sleep dear?” “Mmm, wonderful.” She responded, while turning her chest to lie down on top of him. “I was wondering....” “Yeah?” “Let's take a walk down to the Nibel Mountains, there's a wonderful view there.”

The warm breeze swept by as Tifa took Cloud's arm in hers, dragging him to the path into the Nibel Mountains. Ice and snow covered the tops of the peaks where countless demons lurked in the shadows, waiting for the scent of prey to reach them. Like lightning they would be off, teeth and claws shredding flesh, the unmistakable snap of bones echoing through the mountains.

Still, they lacked the one, important ability, common sense, for if they were to attack Cloud, they would no longer be the hunter, but the hunted. His blade would be already be through them before they could detect his movement.

The couple slowly traveled down the windy path, twisting and turning around many cliffs and ledges. Tifa shivered, a cool breeze caught her unaware around her mid drift. Placing a hand to her forward, Cloud winced. Her skin was cold to the touch, “Dear, you freezing.” She merely nodded, holding him close. Taking off his leather jacket he draped it around her while his other arm rubbed her stomach.

 

I am so alike you

 

In so many ways

 

Warmth quickly spread, casing her body with heat. “mmmm,” she moaned as Cloud encased her body with his, his arms pulling her to him. Closing her eyes, and leaning back into his embrace, a heat began to pool in her inner thighs. She shivered at the thought. `Would he?' The thought flickered through her mind. `I gota stop thinking this way'

 

I know I'm just a copy

 

That carries on the strain

 

Opening her eyes to the desolate wasteland covered with rocks and chunks of ancient Mako fused into fossils. Turning her head sideways her eyes met with Cloud's. An unspoken emotion shown in their fluid eyes, a tear formed and slowly dripped down the woman's cheek. “You know cloud?” she started. “There's something I've been wanting to tell you.....for the longest time.” Pulling him over to a nearby rock, she sat him down and stared into the intoxicating sky to reflect over what she had rehearsed a thousand times in her mind.

 

But we make the same mistakes

 

Cause, we are one and the same

 

More tears streamed down to splatter across the rocky surface. “What is it, Tif?” The use of her private penname and gentleness in his voice helped Tifa ease the stiffness and nervousness. “You know, ever since were we kids, wondering around and causing havoc to everyone around us, I thought I had found my best friend. I'm sorry, back then grief over my family clouded my emotions (please excuse the pun) but I had much more than that.” Pausing to look into his eyes, she continued, “don't you see? I found my soul mate, my true love, the one person who cared most for me, and whom I cared most about. I love you Cloud, o gosh do I love you so much, my body has been overcome from this love. You are my soul mate.”

 

We leave behind the stain

 

That will never separate

 

The very heavens seemed to silence and wait for the man next to her to answer. Cloud's expression immediately lightened as a smile crept across his face, his heart heaving up and down in his chest feeling like it's ready to explode. “Tifa....” He began but faltered. `What's wrong? What is this I'm feeling?'

Then it hit him, he was madly in love with the woman before him. Looking straight into her eyes, he continued, “Words alone can not express these emotions I share for you. You are my cure to live this day, my one and only true love. The only person, to this day, who can truly understand me. I love you with every ounce of being I possess.” He confessed.

 

All that lies in me

 

All that dies in me

 

“Oh Cloud,” Tifa stammered, burying her face into his chest, openly weeping and crying his name aloud. “Don't fret, my love” he soothed her. Lifting her chin to gaze into her eyes, he leaned forward, capturing her mouth in a searing kiss.

 

How can I live without you?

 

Holding her close as if she might disappear into the abyss, Cloud ran his arms up and down her body, not able to get enough of her. Breaking the kiss to suck on her neck, a low moan escaped her mouth.

 

I am your mirror image

 

I'm all you left behind

 

Leaning backwards, she maneuvered herself so she pulled him down and landed on top. Quickly kissing the astonishment out of his eyes, she ground her hips into his, causing a soft grunt from him. Doing it again, she smirked. `I wonder how he will react if I....' She thought for a moment. Then quickly pushed it out of her mind. It was not yet time.

 

You made me what I am

 

But who the hell am I?

 

Stopping for a quick breath of air, they both gasped for air. “Cloud?” “Yes?”

“I...Want to be with you forever but....I'm scared,” worried ness shown on her sad face. “About what, dear?” He tried to reassure her, nothing could keep him away from her.

 

But, we make the same mistakes

 

Cause, we are one and the same

 

Authors Note- Wow I am so sorry!! I haven't written in a year, lots of stuff has come up. I really will try my best to put out a chapter a week from now on. (im serious this time :P) ON WITH THE FIC!!!!

 

All the lies in me

All that dies in me

 

Staring intently into her golden brown eyes, Cloud held her tight to his heart, the one person that reached out to embrace his darker self, and brought out the few peaceful memories he had left. Brushing hair out of her eyes, Tifa faultered. “Back…in the crater. I thought I had lost you for good. I couldn't breathe; something constricted my heart till I couldn't feel anything but pain. I saw you there…Falling away from me. I…Cant loose you again!”

 

HOW CAN I LIVE WITHOUT YOU?

 

Tears flew off her, frantically clutching Cloud close to her, she cried and felt her walls come down. Unshed tears poured out, emotions pushed far back in the depths of her mind resurfaced. Fully opening herself to Cloud, she found unwavering trust, unconditional love, and beyond everything else, peace. Together they shared parts of themselves they once promised never to show again.

Someone's screaming, a loud, piercing wail like a knife in my heart. “Tifa?” Why…I can't move. Cloud? “Over here, I need help. Fast.” What happened? Why can't I remember? Slowly opening her eyes, it took them a few moments to adjust. “I see you awake now, eh?” a gruff voice calls out, close. “Is that you Barret?” “Your damn right it is.” The large, muscular man came into view, as always he was unshaved, his cloths an untidy mess. “Ohhh BARRET!” She screamed, throwing herself at him.

 

“What…what happened?” The normally rude and straightforward man sighed, “It's…not pretty.” Moving to his right, her gaze fell upon the two comatose forms beside her. “As you know, we desperately need a new source of energy to replace Mako. But…just recently those needs have increased several fold. If we can't find a new source soon, our way of life is finished. We have to face it, we depend upon energy, everything we have relies on it. Our military, transportation, and trade will cease to be without it. We will have riots, murders, rapes; our world will plunge into chaos if we don't find something soon. Nearly a month ago, an enormous surge of power erupted from the mountains in the southern hemisphere. Naturally we decided to check it. Sure enough trouble followed.” Pausing, he forced himself to say it. “Yuffie's dead, and soon Vincent may be as well. She died, bleeding in his arms; his pulse is so erratic it's off the chart. He… He will be dead by morning.”
