Tied to the Darkness
Chapter 7… Salvage
Cloud awoke on the floor… its cool surface melting through the cloth on his back… He opened his eyes, looking up at the ceiling and realizing that he was, oddly enough, fully clothed. Then his other senses kicked in and his eyes widened as he realized what was going on upstairs…
A gunshot, the sound of blades clashing, distant yells of his name…
His friends. They were here. But how…? He tried to move, to call out for them, but his body was weak from the lack of nutrition and extra attention he had been annually receiving from his nemesis. Damn… his ass hurt like hell…
That's when his heart began to beat a little faster at the memory of his and Sephiroth's time together yesterday… The sweat… the moans… the rhythm of their bodies… He shivered at the remembrance. But it wasn't from fear…
He jumped when there was a sudden, loud boom and a few large chunks of ceiling fell to the floor, making it shake violently underneath the blonde. He blinked when the dim, yellow light bathed the floor a few feet away… Then the sounds of battle flowed in after it and Cloud looked up to see a red cape flare past the gigantic hole left behind after the explosion. Then Yuffie's star and one of the brothers followed.
A figure leapt down from the edge of the hole and there was a soft thud. He stood, his silhouette tall and well-built. "Cloud…?" A hesitant voice echoed from the darkness, searching for the name's owner. The figure turned towards the blonde and Cloud recognized the man immediately. "Cloud!" The figure said in relief before he rushed forward, towards the captive. The blonde forced himself to sit up… even though it caused a twinge of pain to shoot through his spine.
The man crouched down next to the blonde, plunging the tip of his gun-blade into the stone and supporting Cloud's back with an arm. "What did he do to you…?" The brunette whispered below his breath, as he looked over the blonde's thin form with concern.
"Leon…? What are you doing here…?" Cloud asked with difficulty from the pain, still slightly stunned at the sudden arrival of his friends.
"We've been looking for you for weeks, Cloud… Friends worry…" Leon peered around behind the blonde to see his wrists shackled to the floor. "That bastard…" He hissed as a reply to the hint of what kind of torture Sephiroth had put Cloud through.
There was another thud from behind the two men and they both looked up to see this figure flip back her hair and turn towards them. The woman peered up through the black, her big brown eyes locking with the blonde's cerulean orbs immediately. "Cloud!" She yelled out before rushing forward and kneeling down next to Leon.
"Tifa…" Cloud said to himself as if to make sure he still knew her. She nodded, a sad smile on her lips, her eyes threatening to leak the hurt evident on her features.
Cloud winced in pain at the unexpected motion of Tifa's arms gripping his body in a hug. "I… I was so worried…"
Leon stood, pulling his blade from the stone floor and aiming it at the chains. "Cloud, lean forward…" Cloud nodded and did as he was instructed… Hell, that's all he had been doing… There were two shots and one of the chains was broken, another shot and the second followed shortly… "Come on… I don't know how much longer the others will last…" Leon said, glancing back up at the battle above them and putting the blade between two of his belts.
Tifa and Leon each took one of Cloud's arms in their hands and hoisted him up off the ground… both taken aback at how much lighter he was… both troubled by it as well…
"Can you stand on your own…?" Tifa asked. Cloud nodded and the two of them let go. His steps faltered a little, but he had no sword to carry on his back to topple him over. He quickly gained his footing and the three of them headed for the previously-made opening.
Leon reached around and pulled out a grappling gun, aiming and shooting it towards the side of the gaping hole. "Come on…" He said, motioning for Cloud to go with him by extending an arm. The blonde let the man wrap his arm around his torso, holding him securely. Tifa pulled out a gun as well and shot her hook up into the air, the three of them lifting off the ground at once. That's when Cloud's senses flared suddenly, and he became fully aware of everything about the brunette gripping him. His racing heart… the muscles below his skin… his scent…
Cloud shuddered. What was going on…?
Leon felt him shiver and pulled the blonde in tighter as they neared the second level. The moment their feet touched the ground, Yuffie's star nearly sliced off the ends of Cloud's golden hair before she landed close-by to catch it. "Cloud!" She exclaimed in excitement at seeing his face. Then a bullet whizzed past her head. She turned back to glare at Yazoo. "Why you-!" She murmured below her breath before throwing the star again, and with a quick smile to the blonde, she was off to give the brother a lesson…
Cloud followed the weapon's path with his eyes… it bending away from Yazoo and leading straight to his nemesis. He shuddered at the sight of the man who had seduced him so many times over the past weeks… or so Leon said…
To the blonde, it had felt as though it were all done over years of precious time.
His long katana reflected the girl's weapon with ease, soaring forward to dodge the bullets of Barret, and leapt across the hole they had created like it was just a crack in the sidewalk. He kept his eyes locked with Cloud's the entire time he moved…
Kadaj and Yazoo were battling relentlessly… switching between Vincent, Yuffie, and… surprisingly enough… a few Turks, including Reno and Rude.
But those eyes… those eyes that had peered across his naked flesh with such a dominating gaze… they stayed on Cloud for the entire time as his enchantingly torturous body slipped between the fighting friends and foes… coming closer… nearing his possession…
But… why was Cloud feeling so… heated…
Why was he panting…? Why was his body aching to feel the man's touch across his skin again…? Wait… he had felt that way towards Leon as well when the brunette was holding him… and when he thought about it…
Cloud's eyes slipped sideways for a brief moment to peer over at the red caped anonymity, fighting rigorously against Yazoo…
…he looked pretty tempting as well.
Cloud's eyes screwed shut at the sudden twinge of pain that ran from the side of his neck, pulsating into his head. His hands gripped his skull and he fell to his knees.
"Hey guys! We gotta go!" Barret's gruff voice ringing out through the commotion, penetrating Cloud's mind and weakening the pain slightly. Then there was a clunk next to him. "Hey…" A hand upon Cloud's shoulder… "You okay, Spiky?" Barret asked, stopping briefly by the blonde's side to look him over.
That's when Cloud's eyes opened. Another chill… that gaze… it was on him again… The blonde looked up, his eyes meeting those of his seducer, a smirk across Sephiroth's lips. Cerulean orbs widened drastically at the sight of the dangerous look, his heart beating faster in his chest. "Oh god…" He hissed beneath his breath. "What has he done to me…?"
"Cloud!" The voice cut through his thoughts like a knife. "We gotta leave! This place is set to blow!"
This snapped Cloud back to reality in a second. "What?" He asked with an unbelieving tone, his head whirling around to look at Barret.
Reno landed close to the two of them and grabbed Cloud's hand, pulling him up harshly. "Yeah, we brought some Turk… equipment… and these guys decided to use it all to save you're sorry ass." He said as the three of them turned and ran for their exit. "Wasteful bastards." The redhead mumbled below his breath.
"Yeah, this place is gonna be gone soon." Barret finished. "Why? You sad to see it go…?" He smirked. They could always joke at dire times.
Behind them, Kadaj and Yazoo began to follow, but Sephiroth put up a hand as a motion to halt their actions. They stopped beside him and turned to stare up at their eldest. "Brother! He's escaping! Why are we-?" But Kadaj was cut off by a gleam in Sephiroth's eyes… One treacherous and mysterious.
"You shall know in good time, remnant…" Sephiroth said coolly, before turning and walking between the two brothers, dissolving into the air around him. Neither argued, instead following their brother's command and evaporating into darkness.
Reno, Barret, and the abused Cloud emerged on top of a concrete dome in the middle of a dessert canyon… desolate and lifeless… the perfect place for a creature such as Sephiroth to reside. Reno climbed up the rope ladder hanging from the helicopter and onto the vehicle above them, Cloud only climbing half-way up, Barret below him.
Then the helicopter lifted away from the ground, the two men hanging from its ladder, the dome getting smaller in the distance at a rapid speed…
And then… a flash of light stained the blonde's retinas before he could fully look away…
He opened his eyes in disbelief… It was gone, engulfed by flames and smoke as it collapsed. A shiver ran down Cloud's spine at the memories of what Sephiroth had done to him there… what he may have been planning on doing… He closed his eyes and looked away, the desert sand billowing up around the explosion.
But even though it was gone… why did he have this foreboding feeling like it wasn't over…?
And like he was still…
…tied to the darkness.
