Author's notes: Oh-my-gawrsh! Sorry for the long dely on chapter 2...I've been busy typing other stuff. :) I promise this time though that I will continue updating "Cruel Intentions," a lot of fans are wanting to see what happens. Lol. Just so you know...my sister (mestizaflip1307) has a real good fanfiction called "The Promise" I helped co-write it but the credit mostly goes to her. Please check it out...it's a wonderfully-tragic story...even I got jealous because the plot was soooo good. P Thanks to all the readers who reviewed this story. You guys are the reason why I decided to continue it.


Cloud was completely bored out of his mind. Though his aunt's mansion was huge and delievered many activities for him to do, he was in no mood to do anything but continue on with his evil plan. "Dammit, where the hell is that bitch?" He cursed, not caring that his aunt's servents were nearby. "Does it really take two-fucking hours to walk around the god-damn estate?!" His voice sounding angrier and louder than before.

"Aren't you a little too young to be saying such words?" A voice spoke.

Cloud turned around and found Vincent facing him. He scoffed and puffed smoke into the older man's face. "Why do you care?"

Vincent swipped the cigerette from Cloud's mouth and crushed it against his palm.

"You're one scary-ass-guy. You know that, right?" Cloud took another cigarette from his pocket and lit it. Vincent swiped the cigarrette again but instead of crushing it, he placed it in his mouth and blew into Cloud's face, making him wrinkle his nose. "And you're one spoiled-ass-brat." He replied dully.

"Whatever. I hope you made yourself useful, Vincent, and observed the the girl for me."

"She and your aunt will arrive right about..." He snapped his fingers. "...now."

Cloud heard his aunt's voice speaking loudly and hastily turned his head to her direction. He gawked at the beautiful brunette who stood next to her. Vincent chuckled behind him. "I must say, young master, it seems you are quite intimedated by her beauty."

Cloud narrowed his eyes at his body-guard. "I'm not intimedated...just suprised. She's uglier than I thought she would be." He didn't want to show that he had an attraction to the young woman. "Especially in that dreadful outfit...she needs to show more clevage and legs." He added.

Elmyra gasped loudly as she saw her nephew. "Cloud!" She screamed, running towards the young blonde.

Cloud frowned. "Fuck me!" He immediately replaced his frown with a forced smile as his aunt hugged him. "Aunt Elmyra! God, I missed you!"

"I'm glad that you're here, Cloud." Elmyra pulled Aerith next to her and smiled. "This is Aerith, she'll be staying with me for a few weeks."

Aerith outstretched her hand, for a handshake. "Pleasure meeting you, monsieur Cloud."

Cloud took her hand in his and kissed it. "Pleasure's mine, m'lady." He then turned to his aunt. "Aunt Elmyra...why don't you whip us some of that lemonade of yours? I'll...uh...tend to Aerith." He said, resting his hand on her shoulder.

Elmyra beamed. "Alright. You two behave now..." She winked.

Aerith felt a bit scared, it was just her and Cloud when they stepped inside the house. "I read your manifesto...I found it rather appauling." Cloud emphised on the last word. "What are you to critize something you've ever experienced youself?"

Aerith shrugged. "That's a first." She began. "It's just...people shouldn't 'make love' until they are in love. People our age just don't realise that..."

"Are you a lesbian?"

Aerith turned around. "No."

"Don't get offended. I just felt a bit of that lesbian vibe."

Aerith frowned, feeling insulted. "Look, don't think for a minute that I wasn't informed about you. I know everything." She replied, in a very rude tone. Though she never acted this way, she wasn't about to let him think she can't defend herself. "Aerith loved the look he gave when she countered back.

"What did you hear?"

"You promised girls the world to get them in bed with you."

Cloud scoffed. "That's awfully rude."

"It's the truth isn't it?" Aerith's voice turning back to it's normal tone.

Cloud glared at her. "If you say so." He scowled and walked passed her.

Tifa and her moggle housemaid, Hente arrived at the Kisagari household looking for Yuffie. They waited for her in Section 8 for an hour but she didn't show up so they decided to see what the young teen was up to. As Tifa and Hente walked in the living room, they were ever entertained seeing Yuffie cuddled by a certain red-haired man. Hente giggled but Tifa shushed her immediately. The whole scene was really interesting to her. But when Yuffie and the red-head's face were about to touch, Tifa knocked down a little box that stood next to her. "Hente, be careful! We had this discussion!" She smiled at the blushing couple.

"Tifa...I didn't know you were coming."

"Don't tell me you forgot about our little shopping spree? I waited in Section 8 for an hour."

"That was today?! Oh shit, I'm so sorry, Tifa!"

Tifa shook her head and turned to the red-haired man. "I don't believe we've met, monsieur, I'm Tifa Lockheart." She introduced, outstretching her hand.

The red-haired man smiled back and took her hand in his. "Wow...so you're Tifa Lockheart? I heard things about you. I'm Reno by the way."

Yuffie forced out a nervous chuckle. "Um...I think it's best if you leave before my mom comes in here." She said, pushing him towards the front door.

As he closed the door, Tifa smirked evilly as Yuffie leaned against her shoulder. She knew that her little puppet was in love and it was the perfect time to start prepharing for her evil plan. She gave Hente a small nod and the moggle flew towards the kitchen, leaving the two girls alone in the living room.

"Must you pace back and forth like that? It is making me feel uneasy as well." A feminine voice spoke.

Cloud turned his focus on the beautiful viera that lay on her bed. "Shit, whoever told Aerith about me will be in a whole lotta pain right now!" He shouted, making the viera twitch from the volume of his voice. "Calm yourself. Do you know anyone who might know her?" She asked.

"Hmm. None that I know of."

"Balthier might. He used to reside in Nibelhiem before he came here."

Cloud stroked his temple. His viera friend had a point there. "That makes sense. The guy hates me...he thought I fucked you at homecoming."

Fran cringed with disgust. "Don't remind me. The thought of laying with you ills me."

"Damn. Too bad he's in Nibelhiem right now!" He scratched his head in irritation, completely ignoring the viera's insult.

Fran smiled and shook her head. "No. He has returned. He'll be spending the night with me."

"Congrats." He threw a bunch of gil her way. "Make sure you leave your door unlocked around...let's say the stroke of midnight?"

Fran raised her clawed hand. "Stroke of midnight it is."


Author's Notes: Yeah. I decided to have Balthier and Fran join the story too. Seeing Balthier and Cloud argue will be a great scene to see. Lol.
