Chp 8 L'amour et la Fume`e ne Peuvent se Cacher By Vincent’s Angel, Topaz, Quistis, and Sailor Poison Chapter 8 Now, Cloud arrives in Nibelhiem. He was going because he wanted to see his old home. Heck, why not? He lived most his childhood here. Cloud is 5’7” in height is a slender yet sturdy build. His blond hair spiked wild and his eyes had a mako blue glow. Cloud parks his chocobo next to the water town and gets off the bird to stretch his back. Hair blowing in the breeze and he rubs the bridge of his nose. Tifa, "Aren't you gonna help me off cloud" Tifa said kinda looking annoyed he didn't already help her. A very beautiful brunette, with soft brown eyes. Heir hair hung to her hips, tied back in a pony tail. Cloud, "Why?" She wanted to be independent one second and help the next but he offers her his hand anyway. Tifa takes cloud hands and hops off and latches onto his arm "So why are we here?" Cloud, "I wanted to visit home. That is why I am here.. " A bit annoyed right now. Not that he didn’t mind her being clingy but sometimes he like his space. Tifa, "You know, Cloud.. this isn't our Nibelhiem anymore, maybe it'd be best e die didn't bring back the bad memories of this place." Cloud shrugs, keeping his opinion to himself.metimetimes he doubted about himself. Was he just a clone or real cloud? Sometimes it nagged him. Just wanted to look over his past anyway, starting with the Inn, where he heads. As Tifa follows Cloud, she nes tes the well and pointed out several times before this occasion "Look Cloud, remember that night at the well" Cloud, "Oh yes... I almost froze toth wth waiting for you. " enters the Inn and goes to the one room of the inn, in his mind he can hear voices of the past, echoing. Tifa runs after cloud "You know my family use to run this Inn... my family" she clinging tighter onto Cloud’s arm. Cloud, "Yes and they always kicked me out too." Tifa, "..." Cloud snorts, "Sorry but town wasn't exactly friendly towards my family.” Tifa, "That's because you never did anything with anyone you always kept too yourself... we never really noticed you...." Cloud rolls his eyes, remember the countless attempts he made to join in with them. She never noticed him till the night of the well. As Tifa continued to walk up the stairs she noticed noises coming from one of the rooms, "Cloud! what's that! it sounds like a beast... snoring? ?? " Cloud, "Sounds like.. Vincent?" He opens the door slowly looking inside. Tioverovers her mouth in shock with her eyes wide open. Cloud sees Vincent in bed with a guy? His eyebrow raises a bit as he knocked on the open door anyway though pointless just to wake them up. Zell grunted and rolled over. Vincent snapped awaked at the sound and aimed his gun at could in a flash Zell murmured, "I don't wanna go to school today mommy," still half asleep. Cloud, "Excuse me... I do hope you won't shoot us, Vincent." Vincent, “"Cloud?" He didn't move his gun an inch. "You know I hate it when people sneak up on me and I'm sleeping. “ Tifa explained from behind cloud, "Vincent, how could you!" Cloud patiently, "I came here to see my old town again, what is going on?" Vincent looked around and sighed heavily. "You ought to know me better Tifa" he said with ust ust and a bit of contempt. Zell, "ugh" rolled over yet again still unaware of what was happening around him Cloud, "Are you okay?" Goes over to inspect Vincent's wounds, "And who is he?" Tifa just put her hand son her hips like she usual does and says "Then what's going on it doesn't look to innocent" Vincent, "My heart is Still with Lucrecia, and there are bigger things to worry about. It's a good thing you have come around when you have, There is some one who is as powerful or more than Sephiroth." Vincent continued getting strt tot to the point. Zell, "No... Stop it... STOP IT.. No? Huh?" another sleep related mumble came from Zell. Cloud looks surprised by that as he fixes the loose bandages, "Then I guess I should help you... Who is the kid?" Not caring about the bed thing anyway. Zell yawns and opens his eyes, as he does seeing Cloud over Vincent "AHH" was all he said as he fell over the side of the bed onto the ground Cloud frowns, "Hello to you too... " Tifa stood in the door way giggling at the boys childish behavior. Zell pokes his head above the bed "Who are they Vincent?" Cloud, "My name is Cloud Strife.. I am Vincent's friend." Zell stood up rubbing his hand on his pants and putting it out. "I'm Zell" Cloud doesn't shake his hand but he smiles in a more friendly manner, "Nice to meet you..." Tifa asked in a more annoyed manner "Are we done here? What was this problem you have Vincent?" Cloud wonders but doesn't say out loud, Why am I with her again? Vincent, “It's a rather long story, may I get dressed first?" Cloud nods to that and goes to the window to look out it. Zell blushed and turned, and walked towards the doorway where Tifa was also turning and walking out. Vincent pulls his shirt and and works the buttons before wrapping his cape around his shoulders and bucking it. It felt so much better to have his cape back on. He also put on his holsters and arranged his handguns. "Alright. I'll begin now" He announced. Zell and Tifa both walk in after having a quick discussion. Cloud nods as he leans on the wall next to the window. Vincent, "It started when I was awaken by some one in the lab's library. I went to investigate. I found a man who began ranting about some sort of person or thing he was looking for. I attempted to remove him, he quickly overpowered me," Vincent paused. "He didn't even have to move. He used a level of telekinesis equivalent to that which Sephiroth used before we fought him" Cloud adsorbs this quietly. Zell butted in "Then me and Cid came in!! And Cid kicked some serious ASS you know?" Vincent is annoyed he was interrupted. "Cid didn't fare much better than I did, but he managed to get himself abducted. The man took Cid and the Highwind to Northern Crater. We must rescue him" Cloud frowns. Hard to get north without the airship. Tifa stared at cloud, "Oh no that's horrible! What are we going to do, Cloud?" Cloud, "Get another airship? I have no idea. Cid was the pilot of the group. " Meanwhile airship is pulling put to the town. Zell, "What's the noise, it sounds like the airship" Zell excitedly jumped up and ran for the front door Vincent, “ !!.. He's right, let's go.” Cloud follows the excited Zell to see the airship and pauses when he sees the new lady painted on the side. Looks like female Vincent in a bikini..? Looks like a perfect version of Vincent if Vincent was female. Tifa starts to laugh Cloud, "Wow.. it looks.. sexy." Being honest though a bit otherwise speechless Vincent is a little embarrassed, but now he also feels a little guilty for thinking Cid stopped caring about him. Zell started to scream repeatedly "CCCCCCCCCCCCIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDD" Crewman comes to the side and drops a ladder. Vincent grabbed the ladder and climbed up to the deck Cloud makes his way to the airship and climbs up the rope... the crewman salutes h Zel Zell and Tifa soon follows of course Zell letting Tifa go first since he was the only gentleman in the group. Cloud, "Where is Cid?" Crewman looks a bit nervous, "Northern Crater... the captain told us to come here as soon as tgot got off.. oddly enough whoever he was with upset the captain enough that he almost bolted off the airship." Vincent sighed heavily. Naturally the man wouldn’t give up his hostage. Crewman, "Airship is at your command" Sharp salute. "He looked fine last we saw him sir... otherwise we wouldn't let them off.. " Another crew member comes over and hands them some potions. Cloud gives them orders to go back to the Northern Crater, Most of the flight goes smooth.
