Tifa was on the outskirts of town looking out at the endless desert the wasteland. She was alone that day and told no one where she was. Not Cloud, Aerith or Denzel and Marlene. That day Tifa wanted to be alone so she could cry and let her feelings out and she couldn’t do that around her friends. For just one day she wanted to let it out the pain she has been holding in for so long.
Tifa sat down on one of the rocks and sighed looking down. Her tears soon started to fall. The main cause was Sephiroth, ever since she heard that he was back she has been like this. The thought of Sephiroth tracking her never crossed her mind, she didn’t even think that he would find her there.
"I am sorry…" Tifa said as the memories of her father came to her mind. She remembered how weak she was and couldn’t even save anyone. She let Sephiroth burn her hometown and take her father’s life. More tears fell as she looked down letting her hair fall to cover her face. The pain was tearing her apart Sephiroth left a wound in her heart one that could never be healed.

Midgar... It's been a while since Sephiroth's been here, the last time he got defeated by Cloud above the skyscrapers, all due to the lack of a decent body... Kadaj's body wasn't that strongue to be Sephiroth's, so he ended up beeing defeated by Cloud. Sephiroth still resented that, it was all Kadaj's fault, if he had a decent body, Sephiroth could've used it and he would win against Cloud.
Sephiroth walked the streets in his old form, meaning he was still wearing his SOLDIER equipment, but his wing was gone. He didn't blend in the crowd, his silver hair gave it away, although he didn't need to blend in seeing no one was paying attention, they were minding they're own business, unaware of everything that surrounded them. Although some were paying more attention... Sephiroth didn't go completly unoticed... Some men wearing black were going through the crowds and were trying to reach Sephiroth. He could only smirk... They would need a army to stop him, not a couple of "suits"...
Sephiroth made a turn in the alley, so he could confront them. Finaly two of them were inside the alley. They were smilling and showing a stun batton in one hand.
Sephiroth raised an eyebrow when they yelled that Sephiroth was coming with them for interogation... Sephiroth glared at them, his cat like green eyes were targeting them.
With a swift movement Sephiroth put his hand up, a fiery aura appeared on his hand, he pointed his hand to the two guys which where incinerated on sight. Unfotunatly Sephiroth hit the house beside them, starting a fire. Sephiroth walked through the flames, getting out of the alley and onto the streets were people started to panic. He turned back to contemplate his work. Smirking he turned again and started to walk, he still had to find the black haired girl...

Sighing as Tifa finally looked up and wiped the tears. This wasn't the time for her to cry. She shouldn't even be out there. But Tifa really needed to let this out so she could calm down a bit. The pain was just too much for her to handle.
Screams from the town then filled her ear as Tifa turned around in fear to see the fire. "No..." the exact same thing happened to her hometown and she ended losing people she loved. Were they in danger the kids? she had to find them before Sephiroth could harm them.
Tifa wasn't going to let Sephiroth take anyone from her. She already suffered enough. She hurried back to the town and slipped in and hid between the crown. Everyone was panicking and running way so luckily Sephiroth wouldn't notice her. She just had to be careful as she took a turn to the left and hurried off to where Seventh Haven was located.

Sephiroth sighed aggravated, the crowd started running in all directions, it were hundreds of people running amock in different directions... Although... Something picked up Sephiroth's attention... There were hundreds of people running but Sephiroth saw someone walking a little slower, lower down and it seemed it didn't want to be discovered. Sephiroth showed a evil grin, he walked towards a dark haired shadow, minggling in the middle of the crowd, Sephiroth grabbed a arm and said with his cold voice, I finally foun-..., Sephiroth stoped, his eyes were filled with rage, it wasn't her, it was just a normal unknown civilian. Sephiroth threw the unknown girl through the air, the girl landing on a firescape. The body then fell to the ground, although luckly for Sephiroth he noticed someone taking a turn to the left of where the body landed. It felt like it was her... Sephiroth jumped onto the roof of a building, moving silently but quickly through the roofs, following the young black haired girl... Whatever he was going to do to her, was certanly worse than what he did to a unknown woman...

Tifa managed to slip away undetected or so she thought. She glanced around no one was behind her. Was she safe now? She sighed turning to hurry to the bar. Little did she know though that she was being watched by the one she feared the most.
Something didn't feel right. She just felt his presence but there was no one around not a soul, he couldn't be there... "I am just imagining things..." she said to calm herself down and she continued to walk but slower and more cautious this time.

Sephiroth smirked to himself quietly above, the girl keapt running, it was all working out, the girl would lead Sephiroth to her hideout. Sephiroth had two things to do... Grab Tifa and kill Aerith, he hoped the brown haired girl would be where this one was leading him...
Sephiroth skipped through the rooftops, sensing her as she took turns and walked, but suddenly she slowed her pace. Sephiroth did the same so he wouldn't draw any attention to him.

Tifa finally stopped what was she doing? What if she was really being followed she would just lead Sephiroth to the Kids and Aerith. Then they all would be in danger because of her. She sighed gathering her currage and glanced up. No one was there. "Sephiroth..." She called out in fear as she stood there and hoped that she was wrong and that he wasn't really there.
Tifa was alone, not Cloud or anyone knew where she was. Sephiroth could easily kill her if he was there. Yet Tifa didn't care she wasn't going to endanger anyone else's life but hers.

Sephiroth couldn't hear her running, she had come to a complete stop. Closing his eyes he focused on her, seeing if she was still there. She was... Then why wasn't she running? Did she saw Sephiroth?...
Then Sephiroth heard her calling by his name, it had a delightful tone of scared... Sephiroth grinned a bit, but it was worriyng, did she knew he was there?... Walking silently Sephiroth hid inside a stair case that leaded to the inside of the house. He let the door opened so he could hear her if she started running.

He didn't respond was he even there... Tifa was lost and confused. What should she do. Return to the bar and see if she really was being followed or try and lead him away and wait?
If she did he might attempt to kill her and no one would be around to hear her cries... Still Aerith and the kids would be safe and that to her was what mattered.
She turned to her right and walked down the road. Tifa pretended to be going back to the bar but instead she was leading Sephiroth away.

Sephiroth was leaned with his back towards the wall of the staircase and he had his arms crossed, he was pondering his next move, she wouldn't go straight to the bar, that would be stupid, she yelled his name, so she was probably having a feeling of beeing stalked by Sephiroth.
Then Sephiroth heard her steps again, she was going right now... Sephiroth smirked, leaving the staircase, he concentrated on his left hand, a red aura appeared, it became bigger and bigger, Humph... Let's see if the hideout is in that direction..., Sephiroth plan was, if she was going right, the hideout would probably be left... Sephiroth swinged his arm to the left, the huge fireball went flying to the left,blowing up and creating a path of flames, his intention was to see if she got worried enough to go directly to the bar and not lead Sephiroth on a wild goose chase...
After the path was ignited Sephiroth sprinted to her location, following her path perfectly through the roof tops. a moment later he could finaly sense her running beside Sephiroth, down on the street.

Tifa stopped and backed away slowly once she saw the fire ball burn down the path. She was right Sephiroth was there. She gaped frightened at the though of seeing him land in front of her and moved slowly away.
Tifa then glanced down at her pocket. She had her phone with her, maybe she could call Cloud to let him know she was in trouble. Or maybe call the bar and warn the three there. Tifa was certain now that Sephiroth was there and just ran away as she reached down to her phone.

Sephiroth made her understand that he was certainly there, as he moved through the roof tops jumping whenever a gap appeared, he followed Tifa, then she stopped again... Sephiroth was getting a little bit tired of playing Cat and Mouse... She just keapt running and stopping, running and stopping.
This time she went for her phone, Sephiroth remembered those... Whenever he was called to duty, that would be the means of communication.
Sephiroth was still running with her, he wasn't gonna lose her, he needed her to lead him to the bar... Otherwise, Sephiroth would destroy the whole city. The out come would be different that what he wanted but atleast he would still be able to carry out his plan.

Tifa dialed the number of the bar and left a message for the kids and Aerith. She told them she was being followed by Sphiroth and that she may not return to the bar to keep them safe.
Tifa sighed as she glanced up at the sky she knew he was there her worst nightmare was about to come true...
If she had to Tifa would fight him but for how long can she stand up to Sephiroth was the question. Tifa recalled that night at the reactors back in her hometown. The night Sephiroth lost his mind, she tried to stop him and grabbed his sword but with just one swing he was able to send her flying and knock her out. He also left her with a fatal wound. She was lucky to have survived that day but will she survive this one.
Tifa opened her phone again just one more call to Cloud, She hoped that he would make it in time if anything was to go wrong.

Sephiroth heard her muttering something at the phone, he didn't quite get it, but if she was running and dialing... SHe wasn't going to lead Sephiroth to the hideout... Really aggravated Sephiroth ran faster, easily passing her. Then his black wing appeared, he launched himself into the air, keeping a huge distance between him a Tifa. The way he did it no one could see him. He was used to do that, ever since he discovered he had that wing he was used to it.
He would keep his distance from Tifa and make her think he was else where. Sephiroth concentrated again and launched another fireball in the oposite direction where Tifa was going, a bit far from her, but not to far so she wouldn't know she was beeing tricked.

Once she was done Tifa closed her phone and returned it to her pocket. She continued to run in the opposite direction trying to lead Sephiroth away from the kids she had to protect the ones she cared about and she wasn't going to let anyone die this time.
Another turn and then she hid in the shadow. Tifa remained there as she heard the fire balls fall away from her. Did that mean she lost him... was it safe to return now?
She glanced up at the sky but couldn't see him maybe he really was gone and she hurried back to the bar.
