Final Fantasy - All Series Fan Fiction ❯ Enemy Attraction ❯ Chapter 4

Enemy Attraction
By Liera Antionette

Author’s Notes: Two for one deal! Please continue to read my work and tell me what you think in the reviews as usual. Now about the fic! My beloved Vincent has undergone a little tweaking. He will have wings and a new final form. I thought it would be much more interesting that way. Thank you readers!
Fair Warning: My fight scenes are on the weak side so please don’t mind them…I’m so terrible at writing them, but the only way to get better is to keep doing them.

Story

Vincent and Cloud lay together in with their limbs intertwined within the silk sheets that Vincent had found earlier. Cloud yawned as he realized the rain had finally stopped and night had fallen silently as it has always done. He sat up as he looked around, rubbing his neck as he did so. He soon felt the puncture wounds there and it made him look at the slumbering vampire beside him. His face was not obstructed by the red cloak he normally keeps around him and for the first time, Cloud could see his beauty he kept hidden from the rest of the world. Cloud touched his cheek, making Vincent moan softly in return. He smiled inwardly before he went to go look for the clothes they had discarded while in the midst of their love making. He found them folded neatly with a long black feather resting on top of them. Confused, he picked the feather up and looked at it. It was glossy and very soft to the touch. “(This feather…where have I seen it before? It kindda reminds me of…him…)” He looked down as he clutched the feather in his hands as he tried his hardest not to think of Sephiroth. Just before he was claimed by Vincent…he was with Sephiroth moments before.

He felt his heart constrict just at the mere thought of the one he loved so much. He looked at the feather while remembering his skilled touches, the way he looked at him, and those kisses….Yes those kisses that one would swear it was a sin to experience. Cloud sighed longingly, but something important had soon dawned on him. He had soon realized that if this feather was here then that could only mean on possible thing. “(He-…He saw….This feather-…This feather is his! He was here and he saw me with someone else!)” Cloud hastily pulled on his clothes and tumbled out the chapel doors to find a battered Nanaki stumbling up. “Red Xlll? What the hell happened to you? Where are all the others?” Nanaki collapsed before he had a chance to say anything and Cloud quickly dashed to his side. “Nanaki!” He lifted his head up to see if he was still breathing. “Tell me what happened Nanaki! Talk to me please!” His eyes could barely open and he drew in a ragged breath. “It was him…an angel of doom riding forth on wings as black as the flames of hell…He attacked us…he killed everyone…” Cloud’s heart fell. No…that couldn’t be right…Nanaki had to be lying. “Wha-…what?” “They’re all dead…Yuffie, Barret…Cid, Tifa…They’re all…gone…” The big cat passed out from his major loss of blood. His golden bangles were stained with his blood from the various slashes all over his body. Even his prized Indian headdress was covered his crimson blood that flowed from the gash on his head.

“Oh god…oh god no…Nanaki….NANAKI!” Vincent was walking out of Aeris’ chapel to find Cloud in a slight panic because Nanaki would not open his eyes. “What has happened to Nanaki?” Cloud looked at Vincent with fear in his Mako green eyes. “He-…He killed them all…Yuffie, Tifa, Barret, Cid…they’re all gone…” Sephiroth had slain all those he had ever dared to even care about. “So…it seems that the overgrown housecat served his purpose after all.” Vincent looked up to see Sephiroth standing on the head of a gargoyle with his black wings outstretched. Vincent’s garnet eyes turned into slits as Cloud healed Nanaki with his Cure Materia. “Kisama…” Sephiroth used his black angelic-like wings to catch the wind and hover in the sky with a crude smirk upon his lips. “I told you never to touch my itoshii, bastard vampire, demo you ignored my simple warnings and still went after him.” Nanaki had finally regained consciousness while Cloud watched as Vincent leapt onto the rooftops with the look of death in his usually emotionless eyes.

Sephiroth chuckled while Nanaki tried to stand on shakey legs. “You’re a monster that needs to be dealt with and I’m just the vampire to do it!” “Fierce words coming from someone who had their own friends killed.” Cloud looked up again while helping Nanaki to stay stranding. Vincent had landed on another roof while glaring at the smirking fiend. “What is he taking about Vincent?” He sighed heavily and closed his eyes. “…I was told not to touch you, but I ignored him as he said and did anyway…” “And I made you both pay by killing all of the ones you both ever cared for. What’s mine shall always belong to me.” Vincent said nothing as large black demonic looking wings arched from his back. “Enough of your games Sephiroth!” Vincent took to the air, charging Sephiroth who drew his Masamune from thin air.

“Cloud…I don’t think that Vincent will be able to defeat Sephiroth alone. I don’t think I have enough strength to summon the comet Cosmo Memory, but I think you may be able to summon one strong enough to take him out.” Cloud looked up to see Vincent block a slash at his throat with his clawed hand and retaliate with a shot that would have hit him in the head if he didn’t vanish. “Chikuso!” Spinning quickly in the air, Vincent dodged an attack that would have cost him his life if he were two inches closer. He then sent a rain of bullets after Sephiroth who vanished again. “Are you sure this will work Nanaki? Cosmo Memory is your special skill…I don’t think I could do it.” Nanaki snarled as Sephiroth raised his hand in front of him and a protective aura had surrounded him. “Such child’s play vampire! We both know you have more power than that! Show me what you can really do or else I’ll just…” His eyes shone an eerie green color and Vincent nearly screamed. “…control you the way a beast is meant to be controlled!” “Vincent!” Without hesitation, Cloud summoned the Knights of the Round and began to move upward while the summoned distracted Sephiroth, freeing the enslaved Vincent.

“Catch!” Cloud turned around in mid jump and caught Nanaki’s headdress. “So…You’ve finally made your choice, nee Cloud?” He looked at the figure that hovered in the air before him. He held the headdress tightly in his hands as Vincent aimed and took a couple of good shots at him. Sephiroth easily dodged them and glared at Vincent. “You’re a pesky little Vampire aren’t you? I’ll just have to remedy that now won’t I?” Faster than any speed imaginable, Sephiroth was in front of a now gagging Vincent. His Masamune was coming out the other side of his body. “Kuso….I was…careless…” “Now you can sleep forever….Vincent Valentine!” “Noooo! Vincent!” Sephiroth lowered his Masamune and Vincent easily slid off. “Vincent!” Cloud dropped the headdress and leapt over the roof tops to where Vincent had landed. “Vincent? Can you hear me!?” He opened his eyes and smiled slightly. “I…guess I have no choice now…I wished to live with you…but I see that will never happen…Go get Nanaki’s headdress and summon the comet…I’ll hold off Sephiroth….”

Vincent stood and spread his wings. “Please be careful…” Vincent threw him a reassuring look before taking off at high speeds. Nanaki had leapt up onto the roof with his Limited Moon headdress in his teeth. “You have to help him. It is all that you can do for him.” Cloud nodded his head and took the headdress from Nanaki. “You wanted a real fight, right Sephiroth?” He smirked at Vincent as they both hovered in the air. “Let’s see what you got then, vampire.” Vincent looked back at Cloud to see him and Nanaki were trying to summon the small comet. “…I have no choice…” A black aura had suddenly surrounded Vincent making Sephiroth fly backwards a bit. “Ah…So you’ve decided to show your final form, nee bastard vampire?” The black aura had now formed a ball around him and Nanaki finally saw it. “Cloud….Cloud! We’re about to have another problem to deal with!” “Cloud opened his eyes and gasped. “…He’s not going to use his final form is he? Please tell me he is not using it!” Nanaki hung his head as Cloud dropped the headdress.

Not only was he about to lose the only lover he had besides Zack…He was about to lose Vincent as well. “Cloud…I know this is going to be hard, but we have no choice…” He fell to his knees as he fought back his tears. He grabbed the headdress and looked at the lion-wolf. “…I know Nanaki. I’ll need your strength more than ever to do this.” Nanaki nodded his head as they both watched the black aura disperse. Vincent’s head was hanging and he no longer wore his red cape. His skin had become a pale blue color that seemed to be outlined with black Celtic markings all over. Even his normal hand had become clawed as well. What amazed Cloud, Nanaki, and even Sephiroth the most were the six black wings that were arching from his back. Along all the tips of his feathers were silver. “So…that’s your final form vampire…a fallen Seraph…” Vincent looked up with an unholy gleam in his eyes before he began his onslaught against Sephiroth. “Stop staring and begin the chant!” Cloud was too scared to move. Vincent’s attacks were so vicious and relentless that it honestly scared him. Sephiroth was actually taking massive damage and couldn’t predict where the next attack would come from.

“Th-that’s not Vincent…” With a bloodlust smirk, Vincent had Sephiroth under his foot. The smirk grew even wider as he ripped the wings straight from Sephiroth’s back! “Stop! Vincent! Please…no more!” He looked up and was instantly in front of Cloud. Nanaki had backed up and looked at the former vampire. “You must finish us both…I’ll hold him…Hurry while I still have some control over myself.” “But Vincent I-…” He put a finger to his lips and kissed him on his forehead. “…I know beloved and I promise you…You shall never be alone.” Vincent vanished as Sephiroth staggered to his feet. “If I can no longer have him, then no one can have anyone!” Sephiroth was put into an arm lock before he had the chance to summon Meteor like he did once before. Cloud and Nanaki were finishing the chant as Vincent smiled one last time. “Sayonara…Itoshii…” Sephiroth was struggling to get free, but it was too late…Cosmo Memory had lit up the sky and engulfed them both in a fiery red light.

When the comet and the light had vanished, neither Sephiroth nor Vincent was there. Cloud sunk to his knees as Nanaki sat down. “…so…they’re both gone now aren’t they?” Nanaki said nothing as he laid his head on his shoulder and purred softly. “…They are…” Cloud balled his fist up and shouted in anger. “Let’s go Cloud…Another storm is about to be upon us. There’s an inn nearby.” Cloud nodded his head as he leapt off the roof with Nanaki by his side. No one was left for him to be loved by and he was the one that had to kill the people he loved most of all. “I’m alone now…” Nanaki snorted as he got comfortable on the bed across from Cloud. “So what am I? Chopped liver?” He shook his head as he laid down. The storm had rolled in while the sun was trying to rise. To Cloud…it didn’t matter anymore. He could hear Nanaki snoring away in the bed next him as he began to drift off to sleep. All he had left was two feathers of two lost lovers….

End but TBC

Sephirtoh: What the hell! Why did I have to die? Cloud and I were hot together I tell ya! Hot!

Vincent:-yawing- Quit whining already…I died as well…

Sephiroth: But…I’m hotter than you…

Vincent: -glaring- That has nothing to do with you dying. It’s just apart of this story.

Sephiroth: -stomping feet and crossing arms- It does so!

Liera: -ignoring the both of them- Hope you enjoyed the story! Please don’t flame me about what I did to Sephiroth! I just wanted to make a good fight scene and I already feel bad about what I did to both of my favorite characters. Thank you for reading those who continued reading. The next series, Chains of the Past should be up sooner! Promise!
