He nodded and sat next to her, looking at her eyes. "Lifestream. I know of this force. It's energy of the planet. It's interesting that you seem to be able to communicate to it. I'm glad that I have bumped into you. It is quite hard to live knowing that you only existed to be a weapon. Maybe you know what that experience is. I was only used as a tool." He tried to smile, but once again, it looked unusal.

She finished making the long flower necklace out of varying color daisies. She upped on her knees and put it on him. Then, she scooted closer to him and took one of his gloves off. She wrapped her paws around it. She wondered if she were really touching his hand if she could feel a more powerful memory than the ones she had been having. She felt a little nervous; but not for being close to him or for the touching. She felt nervous because while some of her memories were forgotten; the sick twisted man from hers... he was never completely gone. She always remembered his name. He was such a sick SoB, and she knew it was all his fault her mother died. But, facing the events that happened before that was the hard part. And, by touching his hand, it did just as she thought. She started to remember making a necklace just like it but with different flowers. She remembered getting them out of a cone paper wrapping of a big bouquet of flowers. And, she put them on a boy. A boy who was older and taller, with a long flowing ponytail of silver stranded hair. She started to think back to when that thought came from and where it was she was at. Then, the wall was starting to come back up. It was so hard for her to break through that part of her mind. Her hands squeezed his. One of her hands moved up and brushed the hair out of his face. She looked at his eyes. Those were the same eyes, just hardened. This would take longer than she thought.

He stroke her hand while she grabbed it thinking it would ease her mind a bit. "You seem to be experiencing something perhaps....." Then he too can remember a town on fire. Many lives destroyed and much damage done to the land. The images of destruction began to flash so fast that the whole experience felt like a blur. He quickly opened his eyes and the visions were gone as fast as they came. "Well, I think this shed some light for both of us. Now I really want to move on from this path of destruction that I was experiencing according to the visions that I just had of the past. They are too vague, but I will only use this sword to my own judgement, not just to destroy anymore." He blushes for a moment. "I do not know how to thank you, but if there is a way, I would be honored to know."

She looked a little surprised that he was coming around so nicely. "You don't have to thank me. I wanted to help you. Bitterness is an awful trap that people get pulled into, and in the end, it's just not worth it. But, I know what I'm remembering there is more to it. I want to keep remembering. Even if it hurts. I want to know how I knew you. I was very young. It wasn't long before my mother died I think. You were young; and it was at some labs. And, there was a very bad man.. and I had wrapped flowers... and made you a necklace.. and he was smashing them all to bits. It was very sad." She knew there was more than that. She knew she had to take her own advice and face the evils that she had grown up with.

As soon as he heard those words, his mind full of memories fell into place. He remembered the lab and the girl that he once saw. Then, he began to fully remember his destructive ways. Most of everything began to slowly make sense. He smirked a little after the end of his vision. "I mostly know why we knew eachother and I am glad. Kindness is a rarity in this world. Maybe if I stay with you more, I can understand somewhat of it myself. I have longed to find a way to end this suffering. Perhaps, it may be through you." He began to blush again, trying to hide it this time.

Well, in some ways Aeris was very intuitive like people's pain and joy and such. However, sometimes she was just not really took keen when people "liked" her. Then again, it wasn't an everyday occurance. Sure, when she passed through the slums, sleizeballs would make passes. But, they made passes at everyone. It just wasn't hte same. She was up on her knees again leaning inward. Her face drew close to his to get a better look into his eyes. "Yeah. I guess it's easier to help you fix your pain than it is my own. But, I won't give up. Maybe it was because of you that me and my mother were able to escape. My earliest memory is escaping from the labs. But, that was the same day my mother died. We had only managed to escape into the city; but she didn't make it. She had a wound on her inside. It was all his fault." This made her eye contact break as she looked down. Losing her mother was the one thing in her life that had really hurt her. Everything else was nothing. She could have faced just about anything; but that was a hurt beyond all else. And, she was determined to never go back there, ever.

He placed his hand on her shoulder. "I know the pain of losing something most precious to you. Facing that pain is definately the best option and I would never leave anyone like yourself alone while experiencing it. If I did, I would probably drive myself mad and back into that chain of destruciton once more. Life is like a sword. There is always the beginning, the middle, and the end. How you use them determines the outcome of any event. If I can, I would like to help you find that outcome.

She held both of his hands and pulled them against her chest. "Thank you. I will do my best. But, I think part of what was hurting you. You know what it was. then again, probably deep down know what mine is too. Do you remember.... a man named .... Hojo?" Saying that name made her feel like she had just vomited. Even just saying his name always felt like such a backlash on her.

He nodded and growled for a second. "That I do and I would not like to remember him again. If I had another chance, I would kill him no matter what judgement layed upon me. Individuals like that don't deserve to make others sad or angry." Almost tempted to use his sword again, but manages to calm down.

Though the thought was also in her mind how much might be spared if Sephiroth had just hewed that lewd man down with the blade. "I've spent the rest of my life running away from Shin-Ra scum. It was really not that pleasant." She turned around and flopped against the tree and against his side. She let her hair flow down, and her tresses just flowed over his arm and onto his lap. She closed her eyes trying to relax from the feelings remembering was giving her; but that was enough. Her doors were now pushing open like a dam breaking forth. She started to remember all her times at the labs, hojo, being chased all over by Shin-Ra. She had no earlier memories that weren't in the labs. She figured her and her mother had probably been taken while she was a baby. All the tests done on her and her mother. Her mother had always been considered a more superior specimen; so Hojo didn't do as many hard tests on Aeris as he had on her mother. She remembered meeting Sephiroth on the way back from an examination in the hallway. She started to remember Hojo's taunting them when he found them in a room together once. She knew then that it probably was only through Sephiroth's interference she had escaped; and she managed to escape the fate of her mother... dying because of unethical testing at Hojo's hands. Part of her wanted to mourn it, but she had been mourning it her whole life. She just wanted to let it run out and into the pond in front of her. This truly was a healing place to be. and someone who had been there with her during those days. She slumped back even more and slid down back to laying on the ground with her head on Sephiroth's lap.

Being kinda surprised by this, he blushed for a moment. Then, he was stroking her hair. He felt something inside his heart liking this moment for he has never been loved or even liked before. "That's it. Let it all out." He also began to cry a little. "It's worse to keep it all inside. So go ahead and release the pain. Then and only then will you feel better inside knowing that you faced the past instead of running away. I'm right here beside you so go ahead. It will be alright." The tears in his eyes started to come down his cheeks at a bit of a faster rate. He was so glad to release this pain of destruction and hate with another. He felt almost like a different porro.

She could feel her body, mind nad soul tingle with his touch. It was such a comfort; but then she discovered something unexpected. Amidst all the pain and hurt from those days, her memories of knowing Sephiroth were tender and wonderful. She remembered how he acted like she was gross and annoying at first. But, with some persistance and the showing up everyday to visit him, she had won him over. She had been to see him everyday. He was her first and very best friend. That was a precious memory that had been lost and buried under all the other debris of her heart. "How did I forget that. You were an important person to me. I was so sad to leave you behind. Why didn't you come with us?"
((lol. on a side note, i have paged through a lot of online doujinshi's with the two fo them as children knowing each other. lol. so, i can't take all the credit for htese ideas.))

((It's np. Keeps things interesting.))
He kept stroking her hair gently as he once again smirked. "Some individuals have different destinies. I had no choice. However, I'm glad to see you once more for it has brought me much hope. I am also remembering how you were important to me and if I had a second chance, I would've stayed by your side with you and I will do so. Always." He embraced her in his arms. "I hope you don't leave me. I don't want to experience that pain again. You have made me tired of war and violence in vain and I will be forever greatful to you for that."

Her face blushed all chibilike. Her sadness had melted away; and she was finding now older she was much more stronger both emotionally and mentally to handle her memories. She wasn't going to be afraid of that place anymore. Living under that shadow of fear and anxiety had given far too much power and credibility to Hojo. If he knew how he had made her felt, he would probably laugh. She knew it. She knew it was a real truth. She could feel the arms of her friend with her. It had been a long time since someone was so passionate and affectionate with her. Even when with Cloud and the others when she was there for a while... Cloud could never overcome his introversion. Not that it made her like him less either; but it is one thing to like others. It's a whole nother situation when they are able to reciprocate the kind of love you need. And, loving isn't just being there and taking another's love. True love is an action; it's something that is demonstrated in everything you say and do. And, Aeris pushed herself up looking at Sephiroth. "Good, cuz I won't let you. I'm really not that easy to get rid of unless I want to leave." She wrapped her arms around his neck and embraced him close.

He kissed her on the cheek and smiled. "I know and I'm glad. There is so much to do to make up for lost time. Maybe we can find some ways." He continued to blush as he had once again felt that this love was something more true than he had ever experienced. Now he has truely believed that being with her is the path that he should have taken. For once in his life, he felt whole again and back to where he belonged. He was too emtionally overjoyed for words as he gently snuggled his love once more.
