I Feel a Storm Coming... (a Final Fantasy fan fiction)

Chapter 10

*Lightning POV*

     I looked down to examine what I was wearing now.  Instead of the savior outfit, I was now wearing my Guardian Corps uniform.  And I wasn't wearing the sleeveless jacket-like part, only the stomach revealing turtleneck.  Yay, it happens to be my lucky day.  My eyes trail over to Zack, who was lying in the flowers.

     "What are you doing?" I asked.  He looked over at me and said, "Waiting for you to wake up."  I walked over to Zack and helped him up.  "I'm not sure when I'll wake up," I sighed, scratching my head.  Zack looked into my eyes and smiled.  "Hey!  Aren't you too close?" I protested.

     Zack leaned in and replied, "Nope."  Then he kissed me on the lips.  That was the third time that I kissed a guy I barely know.  I kinda see a pattern now.  After a few seconds, Zack pulled away.  Suddenly, everything went black, and I'm pretty sure it's the part when I wake up.

     I see a flash of white light, then I open my eyes.  Dumbfounded, I sat up and looked around.  In the real world, I'm still wearing the new clothes Serah gave me.  But man, do I stink.  Painfully, I sit up and get out of bed. 

     Luckily, I manage to walk to the bathroom in my bedroom and turn on the shower.  Before I get in, I sit on the toilet seat and place my hand over my head.  It's burning hot like an inferno, so I splash water on my face.  Then, I strip down and take a shower.  When I finished, I wrapped a towel around myself and walk into my room.

     I open the closet and change into my Guardian Corps uniform.  But I leave the top part off, so I'm only wearing the turtleneck on my upper body.  My he as burns with pain, so I lay down again.  Slowly, I start to feel drowsy.  I know I had just taken a nap, but my eyes started to close, so I decided not to fight it.

*Cloud POV*

     I was sitting on the shore of the beach near Lightning's house.  Honestly, I feel horrible for what I did to Lightning.  Not only did I upon her down to her bed, I also kissed her against her free will.  That Noctis guy had left a few hours ago, but I didn't ask where he was going.  All I wanted to do was go home and forget about this place.

     But it caught my attention when I heard Lightning scream.  Quickly, I ran into her bedroom to see 4K pinning Lightning to her bed.  Guilt ran over me, and I sat there.  Instead of helping, I sat there, frozen like a statue.  Noctis suddenly ran in and drew his sword.

     "Leave Lightning alone!" He yelled through gritted teeth.  4K snarled, then grabbed Lightning by her throat and stood up.  "I'll kill her right now," he growled, gripping her neck.  Lightning wrapped her hands around 4K's gripping hands, then opened up a portal.  "Run through the portal!" She yellebyd, still struggling.  "Noctis and Cloud, I opened a portal that could take you both back home!  Now, go!"

     "There's no way-" Noctis started, but I stopped him.  "This is what is best," I said to Noctis.  "We should go... Lightning can take care of herself."  Noctis had a moment of hesitation, but then sighed and gave in.  We both walked through the portal, and disappeared.

*Lightning POV*

     Now that Cloud and Noctis are gone, I can kill this guy without hesitation.  I placed the palm of my hand on 4K's face.  Then, I used my magika and ice came out of my hand.  4K covered his face, then I grabbed my Blazefire Saber and shot 4K at least five times.  The body stopped moving, then fell to the ground.  The job was done; 4K was dead.

     I was tired from using a large amount of magika, so I collapsed on the bed.  My eyes were heavy, so I allowed them to close again.  This was my third time to go to sleep.

     When I awoke, I was back at Lumina's little lair.  "Come out, Lumina!" I shouted.  Lumina crawled out from behind the throne, then giggled.  "Do you think you made the right choice?" She asked.  "What do you mean?" I confusingly asked.  "Do you think you made the right choice by sending those boys back home?" Lumina giggled.

     "Of course it was the right choice," I replied without hesitation.  "They wanted to go home."  Lumina kept giggling, then walked up to me.  "Are you sure?" She asked.  "Those boys grew feelings for you, but you locked your feelings away so you wouldn't have to deal with them."

     I turned my head at the little girl and scowled.  "Who... no, what the hell are you?" I wondered aloud.  "I'm just a part of you," Lumina giggled, then teleported away.
