((Hey I wasn't sure if you meant that Cloud was on his bike and Kadaj was sitting right behind him or that Kadaj had done some thing get right behind him...So i'm just flowing with it^^ Cloud is not on his bike BTW^^ XD))
"Convince... you are the first I have met since the grave let me free, at least the first that might have answers. I knew it was a dangerous choice given our history, which is why I attempted to deceive you. Seems it was without warrant since your unarmed and more receiving of me than I expected."
"Do not cast aside your brother Cloud.. we can beat that monster together, you and I.. you have felt my strength once before, you know that we are the only ones strong enough to survive him."
Cloud looked down again....He thought about that for a moment....
"Tifa forgive me...."
Cloud knew very well what he was getting himself into.....Cloud took all of this in....He was not letting a single word get by....Kadaj spoke in that voice Cloud was so used to.....Cloud then lowered his head....As he submitted finally....
"Alright Kadaj....You really know how to motivate some one....But tell me what you plan on doing the minute we find him....You better have a plan....By the way....When we find him....I kill him....."

((Kadaj is sitting on his bike while Cloud is standing there from what I can figure, more or less toying with poor Cloud xD)) Kadaj smiled as he spoke of the encounter, it only grew as Cloud vowed to be the one to finish Sephiroth. That would certainly be interesting to see. He nodded once in agreement however. "It's quite simple really brother, I distract his blade, while you sever his life.. He is fast, but together, he cannot stop our attacks. We can move much faster than him if we focus our attacks and don't let up." he stated plainly, it was a mere question of best defense is a good offense. It would be physically impossible for Sephiroth to swing that massive blade and block both of them repeatedly, even he had limits.
"Let's get moving.. time is a luxury we do not have." he spoke as he scooted back to the far reaches of the seat to allow Cloud room. "It's probably better if we don't reveal me to your friends.. at least not as myself.. they would likely sooner kill me before we complete our mission. I am against the idea of dieing again.. it is very unpleasant." he added with almost a slight sense of amusement as he leaned back stretching a bit. [/blockquote] |

((OK thought so^^ Just checking^^ XD))
"It's quite simple really brother, I distract his blade, while you sever his life.. He is fast, but together, he cannot stop our attacks. We can move much faster than him if we focus our attacks and don't let up."
"Let's get moving.. time is a luxury we do not have."
"It's probably better if we don't reveal me to your friends.. at least not as myself.. they would likely sooner kill me before we complete our mission. I am against the idea of dieing again.. it is very unpleasant."
Cloud nodded at that....That was so true...Tifa would deffinelty give him a punch or two.....And no telling what Vincent would do....Now that he was living at the bar....Cloud felt a lot better now that his friend was living with Tifa, Aerith and the kids.....Cloud could do more now and search for Sephiroth for one thing....Well, in a way, Cloud thought that maybe Kadaj had changed slightly....There was still that darkness in his eyes....Kadaj believed in everything he has before....But Cloud just let that part of him slide.....As Cloud finally got on his bike....This was too werid.....Cloud hardly ever had passengers....
"You're right. Tifa too would give me a stern lecture about letting you come with me.....But she's not here now....So....Let's get a move on....Oh Kadaj....I should warn you.....I'm not that fighter any more that you once knew....It's been a while since my first meet with him....And I have to say it was very unpleasant....But with more help....This might turn into some thing we want....Not what he wants....Oh and also.....No matter what you were in the past....You can always change.....Tifa says there's light in every one....." Cloud noticed the clouds above got darker....Was it rain or the real darkness....that sorta made Cloud uneasy.....The darkness was coming back.....But Cloud started up his bike any way.....And was head to his home town.....The last place he saw Seephiroth....Near the Mako Reactor......

The trip was quiet, nothing was really left to be said on the mater. Until the bike came to a stop outside of a bar, somewhat randomly even. He could only presume this bar would lead to information on 'fathers' whereabouts. Perhaps Cloud was not as foolish as he thought, this could be a trap.. no brother did not have the foresight of meeting him, he had no time to set up an ambush. He would just have to play it by ear and hope this was another step towards his goal. This could be a blessing, hunger and thirst had began to sink in after all, however this city was sure to remember his face..
Quickly Kadaj moved to a nearby building, old and ruined.. a cloth dangling over the window. He drew his blade quickly cutting the cloth down and wrapped it around himself and over his head making a sort of hooded cloak from it. With that he walked back to brother. "Whatever we are doing here let's make it quick.. the world will not wait for us to celebrate prematurely." Kadaj spoke with that self righteous and overly confident tone more well known in Sephiroth's voice, however determination did tend to bring out the best and worst in people. [/blockquote] |

"Whatever we are doing here let's make it quick.. the world will not wait for us to celebrate prematurely."
"I told you.....You need some food and energy...We'll get a room here for you.....Don't worry It'll be alright...."
Cloud didn't tell Kadaj that this was the bar that he lived at....Cloud took out his cell phone and sent a text message to Tifa which read...."I'm back...But don't say my name as soon as you see me....I'll explain later...." And he sent it....And hung up the phone....He looked back at Kadaj....And saw that he has covered his face up pretty good.....
"Pretty good....Come on...."
He led Kadaj into the bar......

Tifa just got a message from Cloud and was left to question what did he mean by not saying his name.... She was glad that he was finally coming back but there was this feeling... something wasn't right, that she knew for sure.
She heard the door open down stairs and grabbed her gloves and placed them in her back pocket just in case she needed them.
Tifa slowly walked down the stairs and spotted Cloud. She smiled brightly hurrying to greet him but noticed he wasn't alone. Someone else was with him though she couldn't see his face. "Um... is everything alright...?" She asked looking from Cloud to the stranger.

This woman.. her face was familiar, but only just familiar. He followed slowly behind Cloud, his Souba clicking against his padded knees with each step. When she spook he answered plainly, "Food, drink, and lodging. I guess.." he ended his sentence on a rather annoyed note. He was anxious to see father.. the wait was killing him. True Cloud was right.. he needed his energy, and some brief rest in the least if he was ever to recover the power he had lost. It was unfortunate, but he would have to persevere.
He turned his attention to Cloud. "Why are we staying in this dump.. might as well camp on a road somewhere.." he spoke in a condescending tone, expect much better from the 'exceptional Hero' Cloud was supposed to be. He missed the base.. deep in the forest.. cozy, peaceful, tainted.. [/blockquote] |

"Um... is everything alright...?"
Cloud wasn't sure how to reply to that question...He would later though.....
"Food, drink, and lodging. I guess.."
"Why are we staying in this dump.. might as well camp on a road somewhere.."
Cloud then turned his attention back at Kadaj...Kadaj sure was spoiked it seemed.....He walked up to Kadaj....
"Money is tight this month....Besides...I help out in any I can. From what I've learned this is the place to go for what you need.....Just make the most of it......" He wanted to defend this great ol' place.....Tifa offered Cloud a room here the minute Cloud found out that she moved here.

Tifa eyed Cloud for a few seconds. He didn't answer her question was he going to tell he who he just brought back with him? And why was he covering his face was he trying to hide his identity from her.
"Cloud" But just then the strainer spoke and she turned to face him. "Before I give you anything I need to know who you are... and why are you hiding your face?" There was something odd about that man and Tifa was sure she heard his voice somewhere before but the question was where?

Kadaj shifted a bit at Clouds words but did not respond. His answer was suitable enough, though slightly humorous. A cold shiver slid down his back as she requested his identity, requiring a quick retort if this would ever work. He gazed out through the shadows, his all to familiar mako eyes offering little help to the situation. "I am not at liberty to discuss my person." as he spoke those words boldly, he realized this woman knew Cloud.. he had yet to tell her his name.. that was when the sudden realization came to him. She was one of his posse.. the figure.. the look. She was that one Loz fought at the temple for the materia.
This would be an interesting fact to recall. It also meant she could not know his name, or this would fall apart. "All you need know is I have hired this man as my bodyguard so you will help me as you would him." he spoke again in that condescending tone he was beginning to use more frequently. Once his words were spoken he found an empty seat and sat in it, waiting for something useful to happen. [/blockquote] |

What was it that made her hesitate to help like this. Tifa wasn't one to turn a costumer down especially when he needed help with something. But that voice and his tone that seemed so familiar.
Was he an an enemy? If so then why would he come her no why would Cloud bring him home? Nothing made any sense.
"Hired...?" She asked turning to Cloud to insure that what the man said was the truth. She didn't trust him not one bit and she wouldn't rest until she found out that stranger's identity.
What if he was their enemy Tifa couldn't let him into the bar with the kids sleeping up stars. After everything that happened with Sephiroth she was being as careful as ever.

"I am not at liberty to discuss my person."
"All you need know is I have hired this man as my bodyguard so you will help me as you would him."
"Hired...?"
Cloud looked at Kadaj......Bodyguard? Good one.......Cloud could see that Tifa was having second thoughts.....He could tell that she was it was in her eyes....He pulled her to the side....And looked at Kadaj....
"Just sit at the bar for a moment would you....I'll be back in a minute....."
Cloud then pulled Tifa's arm pulling her up the stairs to the first floor with him....He opened his bed room And let her go in....
"Alright....What I'm about to tell you right now, you need to just to wait till I'm done....Tifa...That man down stairs....Is Kadaj....I'm only helping him finding Sephiroth....We both came to terms that it would be better this time around than going on alone.....You following me so far?"
