The Change of heart

This is an entirely new fic for me. I still can’t believe I’m writing this. Sephiroth and Tifa total Blasphemy. Oh yeah, to warn you, the beginning will start off a little angsty and um...Sephiroth rapes Tifa yet finds out about the wrongness in his actions.

Chapter 1

A young woman sat perched up on top of a roof as she surveyed the bright starry sky. A feeling of sadness and loneliness seemed to emanate from the young woman as she shivered from the coldness of the air and the slight rain drops which trickled down her nose. The wind flew past her tear-streaked face passing through her chestnut hair, making it seem as if it was an aurora surrounding her. Her ruby eyes glazed, unfocussed as she stared up at the stars above.

“Star Light, Star Bright, I wish I may, I wish I might, have the wish I wish tonight. I wish for the chance to have a true purpose in my life, to feel loved by my lover.” She whispered softly to the heavens. Her hands idly ran across the laces of her boots as she felt the rain dripping down her face.

“Cloud....” Tifa whispered as the sky above made her remember of past memories long ago, which she held onto even now. After Meteor had passed, Tifa had no place to go so in the end, decided to go with Cloud back to Nibelheim each sharing Tifa’s new house. Everything had been going fine for the past couple of weeks. AVALANCHE had been classed as heroes in all parts of the planet, having many followers and worshippers of the group who defied ShinRa and defeated Sephiroth. After the commotion had gone down, all the team went off in their own ways to complete their own true destiny. Barret went to Kalm to see Marlene and now is a resident at Elmyra’s home. Red went back to Cosmo Canyon and followed the steps of his grandfather, applying wisdom to whoever needed it. Cid went back to Rocket town and was rumoured to have married Shera. Yuffie, went back to her hometown of Wutai and had settled her family matters with her father, becoming a true member of Wutai’s pagoda. Vincent left mysteriously, having no place to go but it was rumoured that he left to visit his beloved Lucrecia. Reeve went back to ShinRa and became the head of ShinRa, which joined the Gold Saucer making a profitable business with Cait Sith.

Now Tifa was just doing nothing as she continued to sit out in the rain watching the stars above. Just a couple of weeks ago, Cloud seemed to change. The Ex-SOLDIER’S temper got worse and he went off alone more than he had ever done in the past.

February was always known for being cold and windy in Nibelheim, yet Tifa refused to change her attire of white T-shirt and black skirt. Not wanting to forget the intimate moments of when Cloud had held her before their fight with Sephiroth.

“Sephiroth, gods I hate him. He ruined Cloud,” Tifa said softly to herself as she rubbed her eyes dry.

“He took everything away from me. My chance with Cloud, my father, my hometown, Aeris...” she whispered as the smoke from her words trailed from her lips.

The last word she slipped out brought a tear down her cheek.

“Aeris, you were so innocent. Even though I didn’t like how you always got more attention from Cloud than I did, I would have never wished something like this to happen to you,” Tifa shuddered at the nightmare as she saw the silver haired reaper of death himself, stab Aeris mercilessly through the back.

“That was the first time I ever saw Cloud cry,” Tifa whispered as she remembered the searing pain across her chest when Sephiroth slashed her. Her calloused hands rubbing across the scar through her clothing.

“Cloud didn’t cry over me when Sephiroth slashed me but he cried when Sephiroth stabbed Aeris.” The young fighter thought out loud, pulling her knees to her chin as she rocked herself slightly.

“Cloud always loved Aeris more than he’d ever love me. Ever since Cloud told me about his date with Aeris at Gold Saucer. Why is this affecting me like so?!!?” Tifa sighed as she felt her eyes go watery.

“Cloud, why can’t you be just be happy?!? I’d even die if it would make you change back to what you were like seven years ago,” the young fighter sniffed, wiping her tears with her gloved hands.

“What time is it anyway?!?!” She mumbled as she saw the light ‘10.42’ flash brightly on her wristwatch.

“I better go in now, and see if Cloud is back yet,” Tifa said trying to feign happiness as she crawled down the roof to her window and slipped inside. Closing her curtains, she pulled out a towel from her closet and vigorously rubbed her head. Tossing the towel onto the floor, she stripped out of her damp clothes and pulled on her purple nightdress along with her cotton robe. Turning off the light, she headed towards Cloud’s bedroom.

‘He’s either asleep or not here,’ Tifa thought as she pushed his bedroom door open.

“Cloud?!?!” She asked in question, looking around the room to end up gasping in surprise at the pair of glowing ice blue Mako coloured eyes glaring at her.

“They’re punishing me they all are...” Cloud said in a voice with seemed not of his own which started to freak Tifa out thinking that Cloud was being manipulated.

“Cloud, ShinRa and Sephiroth are gone;” she began before Cloud cut her off.

“SILENCE!!!!!!!!!! Can’t you hear the voices? They’re everywhere. Telling me how much of a failure I am to her.” He shouted causing Tifa’s eyes to widen in shock of Cloud’s voice.

“Cloud it wasn’t your fault Aeris died. You tried...” Tifa tried again to speak.

“Yes I did try. I tried to kill her,” Cloud said angrily.

“Cloud stop, please. You’re scaring me,” Tifa uttered, scared out of how Cloud was acting.

“I’M SCARING YOU TIFA!?!? Poor, poor Tifa, it’s always you, you, you.” Cloud said menacingly, stating Tifa’s name as if it were a bitter taste.

“What do you mean Cloud?!?! I don’t understand....” Tifa said weakly. Not liking where this argument was going.

“OF COURSE YOU UNDERSTAND!!! YOU HELPED KILL HER!!!” Cloud shouted down at her rising from the bed he was sitting on in one fluid motion. It was when he came closer to Tifa, was then when she realised that Cloud had been crying. The sheer anger on Cloud’s face towards her made her shake.

“Cloud please don’t say those things...” Tifa begged as she rubbed her arms in a way to console herself, trying to look at anything but the piercing Mako glow aimed at her.

Cloud chuckled softly at Tifa’s vulnerable position.

“You never liked the truth did you Tifa, you always rather lie like you did to me.” He said coldly watching Tifa tense as his smirk grew wider.

“You always lied to me didn’t you Tif, hoping that if you acted all nicey nicey like Aeris, I’d choose you over her.” Cloud continued pushing a stray lock of blonde hair out of his eyes looking straight into Tifa’s eyes.

“Yet I hate to break it to you Tif but I hate lying, conniving bitches who manipulate anyone they can just to get their own way.” Cloud snarled glorifying as he saw tears run down Tifa’s face. ‘She deserves this after all the pain she has caused me over these years.’ Cloud thought as he continued to watch Tifa’s trembling form watching her anger rise until he knew she couldn’t hold it.

“JUST STOP IT CLOUD!!!!” Tifa cried out, her hands grasping her head.

“You always wanted to better Aeris didn’t you, so you could take her away from me,” Cloud said harshly to her, delighting in Tifa’s discomfort.

“That is not true, Cloud please listen...” Tifa begged.

“Me listen to you Tifa. I think not. I’d rather listen to one of Sephiroth’s megalomaniac speeches than whatever you are gonna say.” Tifa made an attempt to protest but Cloud just continued.

“I say you are no better than that bastard is and if anyone were best for you Tifa, I’d say him. You don’t deserve me!!!”

“Why are you saying all these things Cloud?” Tifa whispered, not understanding why Cloud was arguing with her.

“You want to know why? Well, you both are manipulative bitches swarming all my dreams of Aeris with nightmares. Two manipulating bitches are suited to one another don’t you think?!! Cause I think so” Cloud stated harshly.

“CLOUD!!!” Tifa gasped as she fell down onto her knees, her tears falling freely now. ‘What has gotten into him!!??!! Yesterday he seemed so fine and...’

“Get out of my house Tifa, you don’t deserve my hospitality anymore.” Cloud snorted as he looked down at her.

“What the fuck is wrong with you Cloud?!?! What has happened to you to make you act this way!?!?” Tifa cried out through her anger and pain as she saw Cloud walk up to her, his eyes focussing on her.

“I have began to see the light Tifa, You see I can look past your ways for I know that you never cared about me.” He said sternly as he was face to face with her.

“I used to love you once.... But you took me for granted. Aeris never did that,” he whispered into Tifa’s ear as the smell of alcohol came from his lips realising that he must be drunk.

“BUT CLOUD I DO LOVE YOU!!!!!!!!!” Tifa wailed “I do love you,” she repeated in a quieter tone, embarrassed for telling her secret to the man of her dreams. Closing her eyes she was surprised when she felt a searing pain across her left cheek as she felt herself being thrown across the room by the blow.

“DON’T YOU DARE ACT LIKE AERIS, NO-ONE IS ALLOWED TO SAY THOSE WORDS TO ME BUT AERIS.” Cloud said angrily, as he placed his throbbing hand down at his side.

“Cloud....” Tifa whispered.

“Tifa..... Just go before I do something I might regret,” Cloud said softly in an almost comforting way as he turned his back to her and stared out of the window.


‘I can’t believe he hit me,’ was the only thought on Tifa’s mind as she stumbled to her feet and dashed out of the room. Clouds last words ringing in her ears.

“Tifa...just go before I do something I might regret,”

“I have to go, I have to go,” Tifa chanted to herself as she threw on one of her spare dry t-shirts and pulled on her still wet skirt then pulling her leather jacket as she took out her suitcase from underneath her bed. She tossed all of her possessions she cared about inside and shoved a stash of gil she had been saving for a life’s ticket at the Golden Saucer.

Her thoughts on leaving was the only thing on her mind as she ran out the house into the rain, going into the garage where she kept her gold chocobo Goldie (how original). She jumped on with her suitcase in her hand kicking Goldie to a sprint into the cold night.


“Soon I’ll have my revenge Cloud. I’m gonna take away everything you cared about like you did to me,” a bloodied figure spat, pulling himself to his feet in a dark crater.

“My mother’s death won’t go unavenged.” He snarled as he felt a coolness slide into his palm that he was so natural to.

“Masamune come, we have a little unfinished business to attend to.” He whispered before walking out of the crater and walking into the cold night.

My second fic. I decided to do this as I have read some Seph/Tifa fics and the only relationship I can see them having is a sadistic one. Please email anyhow. It makes me type faster. Ja ne
