Life Long Forgotten – forgive and forget

Leaping up on the couch Cloud grabbed the first thing he could reach and threw it with all his strength at the silver haired demon that had appeared on the couch only a few feet from him. Unfortunately the only thing close by was one of the many pillows his wing was propped up on.
He watched in horror as the pillow sailed right through the specter in front of him. 'He's not really here..'
Sephiroth raised a single silver brow as he looked back to where the pillow had landed and turned back to the startled blond who was pressed up against the corner of the couch. "Excellent choice of weapon, nearly as affective as Genesis quoting LOVELESS to the enemy."
Cloud blinked slowly crawling down from the spot he had hiked himself up into; was Sephiroth teasing him? "Where's Genesis?"
What no scathing comments? No calling him a puppet? Okay Cloud was honestly confused as hell right now. This was not the Sephiroth he knew; there was no mind games, no snide comments, hell he looked bored!
Turning his head slightly Sephiroth raised a single brow once more before looking at himself and pulling his hair around checking it. "What? Did I get something from the life stream stuck in my hair again?"
Putting a hand over his mouth Cloud tried desperately not to laugh, he couldn't help it! This was.. he should have known; he had heard stories since day one arriving at the village that Sephiroth was just as normal as everyone else. But really seeing it.. it was something he never imagined.
Pushing his hair back over his shoulder Sephiroth looked at the laughing boy; the last time that he himself had actually seen the boy he had just finished running him through with Masamune. Granted his life had ended only a few moments later when in a feat of strength no infantryman should have Cloud had picked him up and threw him into the reactor core.
He knew about meteor and the remnants, he had been watching from the life stream when his "mother" had decided to take matters into her own hands after his initial fall from grace. Though in the life stream she still had control of him; it wasn't until the final time she was struck down on top of Shinra tower that she had been weakened enough that she lost the hold on his mind and he was able to regain his sense of self.
Even though it had not been him the world believed it was and the damage was done and there was nothing he could do to repair it other than to help guide what he could from the life stream.
Even though Jenova was a virus the body she had over taken was a Cetra and so he was part Cetra and could control the live stream to a very small extent. He wasn't like Zack's flowers girl who had almost full control of the life stream, she was extremely powerful.
Getting his laughter under control Cloud looked back over seeing the General was watching him curiously. It really was strange seeing the man not insane and not cold like how he had seen him around Nibelheim. According to Kunsel the man had already been on the knifes edge by that mission; he was making disturbing discoveries about project "G" that was making him question his own birth, Angeal was dead, Genesis was missing.. And he had been entrusted with the puppy who had gone through a radical change. He had pretty much by Nibelheim lost all loyalty in Shinra and was looking at deserting himself after that mission.
It appeared Hojo had become aware of this and the Nibelheim mission had been set up so that he did not lose his precious specimen; that was the only way to explain how Hojo and the Turks had been there fast enough to make sure he and Zack didn't bleed out.
"What?" Cloud asked seeing those eyes watching him.
Sephiroth shook his head still watching him with curious eyes. "Just seeing how much has changed from the tiny infantryman that threw me into a mako reactor. That was the last time I ever saw you."
Cloud blinked at that his blue eyes traveling over Sephiroth, "what do you mean? What about Meteor and the remnants?" Sephiroth shook his head looking away his fingers unconsciously playing with his hair; this caught Cloud's attention as Tseng did that as well. It was one of those nervous tics he had come to see the man performing.
"That wasn't me; I died when you threw me into the reactor. As powerful as Hojo wished me to be even I cannot overcome death. Jenova though seemed to have extreme power over the life stream even going so far as to creating a body similar to my original form. That was who you fought those last two times; the last time she no longer had the power to keep a hold of me and to create another body. That is why there has been no repeat performance."
"I wondered why you never lived up to your 'I'll never be a memory' threat" Sephiroth chuckled slightly his hand coming up to cover his mouth just as Tseng did. It was strange seeing so many of his crushes small little quarks showing up in Sephiroth but it wasn't surprising since it sounded like they were just as close as Genesis and Angeal were to him.
"Unfortunately that is all I have become, except when like now I have built up enough energy to come say hello to Genesis. Which I see that prick isn't even here.. where is he?"
Okay he had to be hallucinating; here he was sitting with a wing sticking out of his shoulder having a civil conversation with Sephiroth. "I think I lost more blood than I thought when this thing burst from my back.." shaking his head he laid back on the couch putting a hand over his face. "That's it.. I'm losing it.." his voice cracked as his body started to shake.
Blinking in horror Sephiroth crawled across the couch till he was leaning over the blond. He could hear the quiet sob through the fingers covering his face.
Glancing around he cursed silently seeing that Cloud indeed was alone in the house. 'Thanks Gen you little crimson sob…' seeing he really didn't have a choice Sephiroth concentrated, he only rarely ever did this since it ate up the time he could remain here on the planet much faster but he wasn't going to allow Cloud to sit here like this.
Reaching out very solid fingers wrapped around Cloud's arm and pulled the little blond up into a sitting position.
Blinking in shock Cloud pulled his hands away from his face feeling a warm body pressing in against his side with strong corded arms wrapping around him holding him in close. Hiccupping slightly he looked up seeing a waterfall of silver hair; was he.. was Sephiroth seriously trying to comfort him?
Fingers started to run through his hair gently in a manner similar to how Genesis had done earlier. Blinking back a fresh wave of tears Cloud closed his eyes his body melting in against the warm one next to him. This had to be a dream.. There was no two ways about it.

Growling Genesis flipped the helicopters off even though they couldn't see them since the new VR cameras were working; but it still made him feel better.
"If they are sending the helicopters out they are starting to get desperate." Rude pulled his sun glasses down seeing the helicopters circling around checking the valley over once more.
"Do you think they have Inferred?" Elena asked from her spot up in one of the trees. "That might be why there are circling back around yo. If they do have that technology now that means they found old Shinra tech." Reno said warily his aquamarine eyes watched the helicopter coming back in for another pass.
"Just stay where you are, the barrier materia should be affecting any inferred device if they have one that might be what has caught their attention." Tseng was kneeling up in one of the trees, his amber eyes watching the helicopter above them.
They had been out here for the past twenty minutes keeping an eye on the choppers as they passed by. Cissnei was in the control room monitoring the cameras that were situated at key points around the mountains watching those on foot. it would see they had followed some of the tire tracks through the snow up onto the mountain but had lost them about eight miles before the actual waterfall; a heavy enough snow had fallen over the last two days that it had covered up the tracks higher up on the mountain.
"They know Cloud is up on the mountain, they won't give up. Gen.." Tseng looked over to where Genesis was crouched; you could see a faint aura around him as he was feeding his seemingly endless supply of MP into the materia above them. Thankfully with the VR cameras they had just finished mounting along the mountains and trees they had only needed to activate the barrier materia and not the bolts so his MP wasn't draining nearly as fast as it would have otherwise.
Genesis looked over to Tseng showing he had his attention. "How long can you keep the materia going?"
Frowning slightly Genesis closed his eyes checking his MP reserve. "Another few hours if we keep it just the barriers; if we do someone better bring me a book." He couldn't go back into his house as it offered up to many distractions and he had to keep a semblance of concentration on the materia to keep it going.
"Keep the barrier up until the helicopters leave, once they do go ahead and lower them and go back and rest. Keep a ear piece on so you can keep in contact with the control room; if they start coming back get your ass back out here and cast them again."
The last thing they needed was an air raid while Genesis was out for the count.
Genesis simply nodded knowing now was not the time for his normal smart ass comments. That would wait until everything had calmed down and the mountain was no longer crawling with soldiers from Florin Oil.
Genesis readjusted the grip on his Rapier; he was honestly itching for a good fight. Tseng had forbidden him from picking a fight with Cloud. "Genesis, I don't want to listen to you bitching for the next five months because he wiped the valley with you." Genesis had scoffed at that until he watched Cloud take on Kunsel and seen the second who could easily be a first get his ass kicked within minutes by the blond. He was just as fast as Sephiroth and agile; oh he really wanted to spar with him now.
Seeing the helicopter turning and leaving the group released a breath they had been holding. "This is getting way to close yo.."
Hopping down from his tree Tseng bit back a cry of pain as his back spasmed painfully. Setting a hand on his lower back he leaned up against the tree taking deep breaths.
"Boss man you alright?" Elena moved up to him worry etching her features as she set a hand on his arm. "Fine.." he ground out through his teeth. God he really wished his back would stop doing this..
"Take him back to my place, let Cloud watch over him for a bit." Tseng actually groaned, though he wanted to make sure their newest member was alright he didn't want to climb that horrid rope ladder. Biting back a groan of pain he did squeak slightly when he was suddenly picked up and thrown over a broad shoulder.
"Rude you muscle bound brute put me down! This isn't..Actually.." Tseng slumped going limp across Rude's shoulder. "This feels good." It was stretching his back out nicely and felt good. Rude laughed along with the others as he felt his boss go completely limp on his shoulder. Making sure his arm was locked around the back of his bosses knees Rude headed back into the forest. He made sure not to jostle the older Turk to badly as he moved along the small deer trail.
"How long has your back been bothering you this time?" he asked as he passed Vincent's house. Tseng made a noise in the back of his throat. "Just since yesterday, I think being under that truck all day is what did it."
"I really wish you would go to our doctor down in Junon.. make sure it's nothing serious." Sighing Tseng gripped onto Rude's belt so he had some stability as the muscle bound Turk started to climb the ladder. "I'm fine.. I'm just old. Last time I checked a human body was not designed to last as long as we have. I mean you have your shoulder problems."
Rude made a small noise as he climbed easily onto the large patio and headed off across the rope bridge. "Mine does not appear to flare up nearly as often as yours boss."
Tseng started grumbling in Wutainese every cuss word he could think of at the moment. He was supposed to be watching out for them not the other way around. Chuckling softly Reno pushed open the door to Genesis house; he knew enough of the language to know his boss was cussing him out and quite colorfully too.
"Cloud are you awake?" he called out looking for the reclusive blond.
"Gaia damn it! I'm going to cut this fucking thing off!" Cloud stumbled into the room from Genesis bedroom; obviously he had gone to use the bathroom. He had his arm above his head keeping the wing tucked in against his back so he could move around.
"Why are you carrying Tseng around like a sack of.. " Cloud sighed shaking his head. "His back again right?"
A hand appeared under Rude's arm flipping him off. Snorting Cloud move back over to his spot sitting gingerly back down and resting his wing back on the pillows. Sephiroth had disappeared some time ago as he ran out of energy; Cloud would never admit it but it had felt nice to be held by the man. It was still way up on the weird meter right now but it had felt nice.
"Eloquent Tseng.. Just throw him on the couch Rude."
"Don't you dare throw me Rude!" Tseng snarled digging his claws into Rude's pants. Last time Cloud had said that had been a few weeks ago and he had been thrown into an icy river. Sometimes he had to wonder who his Turks listened to; him or Cloud.
The two burst out laughing, sometimes Tseng was more deserving of the nickname Koneko than Sephiroth was. That man could cling to things like a cat and he always seemed to land on his feet no matter what he did.
Moving over to the couch next to Cloud Rude gently put Tseng down so that he was sitting up on the couch.
Flinching as his back spasmed again Tseng thanked Rude and leaned back closing his eyes.
"I'm going to go check on the situation, behave you two." Rude smiled knowingly and left the house. Cloud flushed bright red and flipped him off as he moved out the front door. Rubbing his cheeks franticly he looked over seeing the pain flashing across Tseng's face still. Sighing he grabbed the man's shoulders and pulled him down.
Blinking Tseng found himself staring at the soft leather of Genesis couch, a pair of thighs pressing in against his stomach. "I keep telling you, you need to see a doctor Tseng. There is the doctor that is part of our ring." Cloud chided his fingers lifting up the head mans shirt trying desperately not to flush. Seeing brilliant fire tattooed across his back he blinked pulling the shirt up the rest of the way, "Oh wow..Tseng when did you get this done?" Cloud allowed his eyes to trail along the massive tattoo that covered almost all of Tseng's back. Beautifully done realistic fire raced up his back forming a beautiful phoenix, he flushed even brighter seeing the tail of the phoenix wrapping around his hip and disappearing into his boxer line around his front.
"I got that after meteor, it was a time of change, redemption.. and I thought it was fitting since I got turned into a human shish-kabob and lived." Seeing the scar on Tseng's back right around the heart he gently ran his fingers along the slightly raised flesh. "He loved stabbing people with that thing didn't he?" Cloud himself had two right next to each other right under his heart; thankfully both times Sephiroth's aim had been slightly off and gotten him under the heart.
Turning his attention from the scar he turned back to Tseng's lower back able to see exactly how tense the muscles were there. "If this doesn't get better your ass is leaving the village and you're going to the doctor." Gently he started to kneed the locked muscles trying to work them loose.
Biting back a moan Tseng completely went limp over Cloud's legs his eyes falling shut. Hearing a high pitch squeal both Cloud and Tseng looked up their attention turning to the TV which Cloud had on. It was the Florin Oil broadcasting notice. Something in Tseng's gut dropped slightly, he didn't know what it was yet but it didn't boad well for them.
One of the Florin officials appeared on the screen, he was dressed in the military uniform showing he was one of the officers of the Florin oil military.
"Subjects of the eastern continent, be on the lookout for two Florin fugitives." A picture of Cloud and Rude showed up on the screen, it had been taken by one of the security cameras in Kalm. "If you see these two men report them to the nearest security patrol immediately, do not approach as they are armed and highly dangerous. They were last seen in the Kalm vicinity; once more these two men are wanted by the Florin Oil security force, if you see them do not approach contact your nearest security patrol. All hail Florin Oil!" the official gave a salute before the screen went back to its normal propaganda BS.
Tseng turned as best he could to look up at the dark eyed Cloud. "Guess who isn't leaving the village for a long time…"

AN: okay not as long as I promised originally but this felt like a good place to end. Next chapter will be longer I promise cause I have big plans for that one!
