Saiyan Of Midgar

"So are you two ready?" Elmyra asked as Gohan and Aerith stood before her at dawn in her living room.

"As ready as we'll ever be." Aerith said as she looked at Gohan who nodded.

"Then go.. go now, and may the planet keep you both safe."

"Thank you, thank you for letting me into your home Mrs Elmyra. I will never forget your hospitality." Gohan said as he bowed his head and made his way to the door.

"Mom.." Aerith began. "I.."

"Go Aerith, that nice young man needs you, this world needs you. And you need to understand that. It took meeting him for me to truly understand that." Elmyra said as she stood and took Aerith in her arms.

"Thank you."

"Such a sweet child." Elmyra said as she petted Aerith on the head. "Off with you now... I've kept you for long enough."

"I'll be back, I promise!"

"I know you will my dear..." Elmyra said as she let them out the door.

"I know you will.."

“So mom gave you her blessing to take care of me.” Aerith smiled as the two made their way through the slums.

“I guess you could call it that...” Gohan replied as he watched where Aerith was going.

“Don't worry, I'll take you the right way it's just going to take a while.” Aerith giggled as she noticed how focused Gohan's attention was on her. “Or do you just like staring at me?”

“Bodyguards have to be alert at all times, any threats to their client is bad.” Gohan stated.

“Oh you serious types are no fun!”

“Hey! I'm only serious when the time calls for it, and since we live in the slums, that's not going to change anytime soon.”

“Fair enough...” Aerith sighed. “One day I hope to see the real sky, I hope you'll see it with me.”

“Don't worry, once Avalanche sorts out Shinra the whole of Midgar will see the skies again I promise you.”

“Hee, hee, I'll hold you to that!”

“So how much futher?” Gohan asked.

“In order to get to 7 th Heaven you need to go through the slum in Sector 6. at this pace we'll reach it in no time... but I'm getting tired."

“Will it be okay if I carried you again? I want to get back as soon as possible.” Gohan asked.

“Oh my hero..” Aerith mock swooned. “You have my consent to carry my body where ever you need it to go..”

“Heh, you sure know how to make things lighter than they actually are.” Gohan laughed as he picked Aerith up bridal style and began walking in the direction that she pointed to.

“My bodyguard..”

Walking faster Gohan smiled. “My client.”

"Man the Don always gets the pretty ones!” Said a man on a carridge that was taking Tifa on her journey to Don Corneo.

“Well if we have to get others you know how generous he is.” Said the other who was eying up Tifa like she was the last meal on Earth.

“Gohan?!” Tifa said to herself as she caught sight of a woman that she had only seen a couple of times with a man that she thought was dead.

“Tifa?!” Gohan exclaimed as the carridge took them past Sector Six Slums.

“You never told me Tifa was that pretty...” Aerith said with a pout.

“You never asked, however we have a new problem now... we have to find out where that carridge is taking Tifa.” Gohan replied.

“Want to get rid of me that soon? And I thought we had something good together..” Aerith mock sighed. “Well I guess we can just follow the path the carridge took and go from there.”

“Beauty and brains? You sell yourself short flowergirl.” Gohan said as he picked up Aerith once again, and discreetly followed Tifa's transport.

“Geez you sure do know some pretty words.” Aerith blushed.

“Comes with the pretty face.”

“How do you reckon Tifa's coming along?” Cloud said to Barret and Jessie. 

“Don't underestimate Tifa kid, when that woman puts her mind to something she gets it done.” Barret said as he took another swig of juice. “Just look at 7th heaven, that alone should be enough for you to belive in her.” 

“If only Gohan was still here... I'm sure he would have made sure that she was more protected than this...” Cloud sighed.

“You know that this is a bar right dad? You don't have to just drink juice.”

“Marlene.. untill you grow up and have a family of your own, the only drinks your going to see me drink are going to be of a juice variety.” Barret said to the little girl who was running the bar alongside Jessie.

“Do what you want dad.” Marlene sighed as she hid a small smile from Barret. 

“I want both specimens, the boy and the Cetra.” Hojo said to the director of Shinra.

“You need to be more careful when you speak to me... just because your our head scientist dosen't mean that it gives you anymore rights than any of my other top scientists.” The Director replied.

“But not many of your scientists have given you useful results.” Hojo chuckled as he made his way back to his lab. “If you want more of such you need to bring me what I ask for.”

“That pompous.... stuck up...” A woman in a red dress began as Hojo walked out of the meeting room.

“Scarlet, Scarlet if you continue to talk like that you will tarnish what remains of your good looks! Gya haa haa haa!” Said a well built man.

“You have no reason to laugh you fat fool, if you had kept a tighter grip on what remained of SOLDIER we wouldn't be in this trouble!” Scarlet snarled as she slammed her hands on the table.

“Heidegger, Scarlet... if you continue to act like dogs I'll have to put you down like dogs. Am I clear?” The Director smiled.

“.. Yes sir.” The two reluclantly replied as they glared at one another but held their tongues.
