‘Journal of a One-Winged Angel’

Why did Niisan buy him an odd journal? Kadaj figured this must be something of significance for Cloud to buy this. The blond didn’t do anything without a reason. He flipped through the pages, reading the elegant cursive writing. The person never signed his or her name.

“I don’t get it,” Kadaj finally admitted, looking up at the blue eyed man.

“It’s his code,” Cloud answered and took a seat next to him. He traced the lettering absent mindedly. If he could only save him…

“Whose code?” The clone anxiously leaned forward. He had a feeling it was that person, but he really hoped it wasn’t. For a long time, he stood in his shadows. One of the reasons why he hated mirrors.

Cloud stopped his tracing to regard the teen. Should he answer the question? It was a simple answer, yet, it could yield disastrous results. He hoped Kadaj wouldn’t take it the wrong way.

“It belonged to Sephiroth.”

“Who?” The very thought of being given a possession of his as a present made him see red. How could he? Was this a cruel joke?”

By the way Kadaj was glaring at him, Cloud figured he had taken it the wrong way and needed to do damage control. The mini-Clouds were running around, flailing as if it would help him. He took a deep breath. “Sephiroth has traveled all over Gaia searching for ways to bring back Jenova.”

“So?” Still mad, not good.

“I can… We can use his notes.”

“You want to bring her back?” Cloud had prevented the reunion so it didn’t make sense for him to do this. Did he eat something poisonous at the party? He knew they couldn’t trust Yuffie to cook something edible.

The blue eyed man shook his head. If he had his way, Jenova would be dead and done with. She caused nothing but pain. “She’s not the person I want to bring back.”

“Who then?”

“I’m looking right at him.”

“Do you honestly think he’d be stupid enough to go here?”

“Don’t ask me. He was your student. I only know his swords skills, which are quite lacking… Hey, no need to glare at me. It’s not my fault if he ended up with a lousy teacher.”

“I’ll be abstaining until I feel like it,” the dark haired young man growled, leaving his companion and partner stunned. They had a mission even if it wasn’t official or from ShinRa. Actually, they were no longer employees of the company. Still, she did ask politely and not many could refuse her.

The taller of the two gasped, trying to form a coherent sentence, as he followed the dark haired young man. He needed to jump start his mind if he wanted to get anything. Of course, he could look elsewhere, but he doubted his significant other would like it at all. No, the guy didn’t like sharing.

“You know your student has a short attention span. I think, and you called him puppy so it’s not really your fault if he’s lacking in his swordsmanship.” Please let it work.

That was the name he gave his student. Normally, he didn’t give any nicknames, but he couldn’t help himself. His student brought out another side to him. It frightened him at times, him one of the legendary SOLDIERs. Very few things unnerved him.

“He does have the attention span of a puppy,” he confirmed.

“Then how did he sneak out? Miss Aerith would have noticed.”

The dark haired young man shook his head. “He can be stealthy when he wants to be. I found it hard to believe since he has the tendency to talk off my ear about trivial things. He comes up with the oddest topics.”

“If he starts doing that, I can’t guarantee I won’t tranq him.”

“How can you? You don’t have them, and he’s dead.”

“Leave the details to me,” he boasted cheerfully.

“That is if you can find him,” the dark haired you man informed his companion. He didn’t bother stopping and walked through the wall. Almost immediately, he regretted it and backpedaled out, pale white.

“Let’s look elsewhere.”

‘What’s up with him?’

Somewhere Nearby

A spiky haired young man sneezed repeatedly. “Damn, someone’s saying something bad about me. Wait, I’m dead. How am I sneezed? I’m confuzzled.”

Three mysterious people… XD I wonder who they could be. I’ll give you a hint. They’re not my OCs or any characters from any other series.
