The reason why Cloud called Tifa here was because he didn't want Sephiroth to find him....He was that afraid....He was protecting his life as well for Tifa.....Only Tifa knew why he was not around the bar area alot any more....This reason....
Where he wanted to meet her was in an old office building that once was controled by ShinRa....But it had long closed down.....Cloud had to tell Tifa things so secret that no one else could know....Cloud asked Tifa to keep this a secret from the others living at the bar right now....He just heard to that Vincent was thinking of moving in.....Which was good....He could protect the others when he was not there.....
Cloud waited....As he looked at the time on his phone.....He was getting a bit anxious.....But he told her to call him if there was some thing out of place.....He was on the roof...Like he would be at the bar....He told her that's where he would be.....He was about to fall asleep.....But he tried to wake himself back up.....It was night time....Time to sleep....But not him....And Cloud had a feeling that Sephiroth was not sleeping....so why should he....? Besides if he did drift off, the night mares would come back.....He hated them.....
Hopefully he gave Tifa the correct directions.....She would see that his bike was parked in the alley way of the old office building....
"Tifa....Hurry....Please...." It was months since he saw her as well....Since that wonderful night they shared.....He wanted so much to hold her.....

Tifa just got a message from Cloud. Finally she heard from him but what he told her wasn't something she liked. Was he in trouble was that why he didn't come back? "Cloud... please be alright." She was worried about him and there was nothing she could do but wait for his call.
It was already dark outside. Everyone was sleeping except for her. She was just too worried to sleep anyways and now she had to meet him. Tifa soon grabbed the keys of the bar hurried down stairs and out the door. She didn't have a car or a bike like Cloud so she had to walk there. That was why it was taking her long.
Several minutes later she reached the old Shinra headquarters. It was now just an old building and no one went there anymore. Except for those two anyways.
She hurried inside and ran up the stairs till she reached the roof and flung the door open. "Cloud..."

Cloud was about to fall asleep....But a sweet voice stopped him....
"Cloud..."
He looked up instantly as he saw her in the door way.....He quickly got on his feet and rushed over to her.....With out hesitation he wrapped his arms around her pulling her into a hug.....Yeah she was real....He hadn't fallen asleep again.....Like last time.....
"Tifa....I've missed you so much...." He placed his palms on her cheeks then....and looked into those eyes....Yup that light in them was still there.....He sighed in relief......She now knew everything.....His weakness....His light....Which was all her......If he saw one scrape or bruise on her.....He might over react a bit........He knew that this was dangerous as well.....But he didn't care......There was so much he needed to tell her.....

"Its me..." Tifa asured Cloud as she hugged him back. She knew that he was doing this to make sure that she was real. Did that mean that he dreamed about her? She rested her head on his chest but only for a few seconds before she pulled her head back to look into those mako blue eyes of his.
"Don't scare me like that... you haven't called or sent me a message up until now. Do you know how worried I was?" She closed her eyes to feel his touch on her skin she missed that so much to be around him. to be back in his arms. "I missed you too" she admitted.

"Don't scare me like that... you haven't called or sent me a message up until now. Do you know how worried I was?"
"I missed you too"
Cloud smiled....He loved her so much....
"I told you before I left....It's safer that way.....But...You missed me? I'm flattered....." He was teasing with that last sentence.....He never turned away from her. This was new for him.....You could see the love in his eyes....He was just glad that she was alright....He worried about her all the time. But he couldn't call.....It was just too dangerous....He knew that Sephiroth was out looking for him.....For all his friends to be safe, it would be better that they didn't know.....Especially Aerith....Because if she found out what was going on.....Sephiroth could find her before he did Cloud....And Cloud was not going to let that happen....He had a feeling though that Zack was still missing.....
"No sign of Zack yet?"

Tifa smiled with a nod at Cloud "Yes of course I missed you"She knew why Cloud was doing this so Sephiroth wouldn't find them. But Tifa knew that Sephiroth would be after all of them. He already knew that Tifa with Cloud and that he might attack her soon. But she said nothing so not to worry Cloud more.
"Zack... I think he is back... still not sure though. I heard some of the people talking about him saying that he was back from the dead so its only a matter of time till we find him"

"Zack... I think he is back... still not sure though. I heard some of the people talking about him saying that he was back from the dead so its only a matter of time till we find him"
Cloud nodded...
"Well. you know....That things'll get ugly if Midgar citizens see him in his Soldier out fit.....We might have to get him to a securere location other than the bar.....When we do find him....I just can't believe how long it's been since I saw him last....Alive....."
Cloud remembered that dreadful day on the out skirts of Midgar just like it was yesterday......But he perferred to keep that memory to himself.....He hasn't even told Tifa.....After ShinRa rejected him, Cloud began his business and he left it at that.....

"I know maybe Aerith's old church would be a good place. I don't think anyone would try and look there." Tifa saw the look in Cloud's eyes there was something on his mind something he wasn't telling her. She could tell from just looking into his eyes. "But thats not why you asked me to come here right? What is whats troubling you... you can tell me"
She hoped he would. That he trusted her not to let her in. Cloud once said that she was his light. If so she hoped he would let her in and let her know whats bothering him.

"I know maybe Aerith's old church would be a good place. I don't think anyone would try and look there."
"But thats not why you asked me to come here right? What is whats troubling you... you can tell me"
Cloud blinked up at her....She knew him so well....
"No it's not...I wanted to see you again. But you're right....There has been something bothering me....Why did I have that Mako Poisioning? I've done all I could with ShinRa and still they rejected me.....Zack saw different.....I knew Zack would probaby train me if that day had not happened......I....."
He stopped....He was unsure that he should tell her that he was too weak to fight....Would she react like her father has done in the past? No...not Tifa.....She was not like that......And Cloud knew that....He walked up to her and placed a hand on her cheek...The whole purpose of this meet was to see her again safely......Without any one knowing......

Tifa sighed and looked down she instantly knew what Cloud was thinking. She could easily tell without him saying a word. "Cloud" She looked up once he placed her hand on her cheek. "Let me guess you think that your too weak to fight him am I right?"
Maybe she would have to give yet another lecture. Tifa would keep doing that until Cloud finally finds the faith to believe in himself and let go of the past. She hoped if she did this time Cloud would listen to her. She wanted him to come back to the bar so she could be close to her but would he agree?

"Cloud"
"Let me guess you think that your too weak to fight him am I right?"
Cloud gave her a small smile....
"You can read me like a book....Yeah...You're right."
Cloud looked down...."Go ahead, tell me I'm nothing....That I could've done more than just sit around....But I was sick...And Zack would not let me fight...." He was lost in his mind....But hey he opened up to her just then....She would notice that....A sad expression was on his face as he saw Zack's last moment again in his mind.....He was not going to let that happen again if he saw Zack again....

Tifa sighed, not only was she right but she saw the expression on Cloud's face. He was obviously sad and the way his tone sounded said it all. "Cloud what more proof do you want? You have already beaten Sephiroth the strongest of all Soldiers twice already. Isn't that enough to prove that you are strong. Look at yourself you came a long way and you made it. Sure your not in Soldier but you got what you wanted right to become stronger."
Tifa smiled warmly back at him. Yes she remembered everything he told her that night before he left. If her memory didn't deceive her she remembered Cloud saying he wanted to become stronger so he could impress her and someday even protect her. Well he already impressed her and Tifa knew that as long as she was in Cloud's arms she was safe.
"Don't worry I am sure Zack is back and we will find him soon okay" She added knowing that Cloud was worried about his friend.

Cloud looked up at her and smiled....She was right...All he ever wanted he had now....He was a fighter....He could fight anyone and anything that came across his path.....And most importantly, he was here for her protection. He then placed his knuckles on her soft cheek....Ans rubbed them down....
"Don't worry I am sure Zack is back and we will find him soon okay"
Cloud nodded as he let his hand he had on her cheek fall to his side.....He hated this sneaking around to see Tifa...But with the dangers of Sephiroth being around....He could pop out of no where any time.....

Tifa's smile brightened it seemed that she got through to Cloud. Well that was easier than she thought. But she was glad that he started to see things her way.
Her eyelids slowly closed once she felt his touch on her skin."Cloud"she missed feeling his touch, hearing his voice and being in his arms again. Did he know that she was hurting because of this? It showed in her eyes but she knew the reason for this. Cloud was trying to protect her and everyone from their worst enemy Sephiroth

"Cloud"
He looked into her eyes until she closed them....
"Tifa....I know how bad it hurts.....It's alright...."
He hoped that was enough for her...But he knew it probably was not....He felt her pain in his heart....And it sliced through like a knife....But he had to be strong for her...Other wise she would just give up....And that was some thing that he would not let happen.....He was not gonna give up....Those words she told him once. "No giving up...." stuck in his mind....Now that he was with her he could probably handle any one.....
