What Happened here!?

[Tifa Lockhart]

Tifa slowly pushed the door to her bar open, she had a rough day at the orphanage and just wanted a drink and some rest but this was far from what she got. Looking around frantically she almost wanted to cry out, her bar was destroyed and it would cost her so much to fix damage like this.

With her eyes still wide from the destruction she slowly made her way to the counter. There seemed to be no one around and when she did eventually reach the bar counter she could only gasp. Everything, everything had been damaged and Tifa could not even begin to think of the why.

The stress of the day was just topped off by all this and Tifa couldn't help but begin to cry. She never cries but lately with everything happening and with Cloud...Cloud, that was someone she just wanted to stop thinking about so much but it never happened. She constanly worried for him and after seeing this she wondered for his health.

Resting her head on the bench Tifa just let the silent tears fall down her cheeks.

[Taron]

The door opened slowly as a hooded figure swiftly walked into the wreckage, wondering what happened. He took the hood off in a single elegant motion, revealing a young face. Two long sticks seemed to hang on his back with his cloak over them. He was not trying to hide his swords. As the door shut a gust of wind came in and blew his coat open revealing a single Raging Bull, a revolver of sorts. He spotted the crying Tifa and approached her. "Um miss, are you OK? I heard some one when I was wandering around. What happened here? If you need some help rebuilding Ill be glad to help. You see im kind of on a break from my adventure for now and need a job."

[Tifa Lockhart]

Tifa jumped when she heard the voice behind her and she quickly wiped the tears away and turned to face the person who owned the voice. He had a young face, that was the first thing she noticed and when he asked about the place she couldn't help but close her eyes.

"I don't know what happened..."

Tifa opened her teared eyes and looked up at him, did he just offer to work? Tifa stood up and looked at him a bit more.

"I would love the help..."

[Taron]

"Thank you. You wont regret it! Are you OK Miss? I'm known as Taron."He gave her a wide smile, he hoped that just maby his smile might be enough to at least give her some cheer. It seemed like his smile was the only cheerful thing in th room. He noted that he was saying things quick, but thats how he always was with females. He was calm, but he always talked fast, until he gets to know them a little bit more. He started immediately picking up trash. "I hope it wouldnt be to much of a bother to ask for your name?" He continued to smile as he worked, he hated to see any one sad. He wondered who could do this to such a beautiful woman. He continued to pick the place up, until he worked his way over to the woman to shake her hand.

[Tifa Lockhart]

His enthusiasm alone made her half smile but his smile made her smile fully. This man didn't know her but was here to help, it was strange but she was grateful.

"Taron is it? I'm Tifa, Tifa Lockhart and this...this was my bar."

Tifa bowed her head but then only smiled that bit more at the mans discomfort around her. She even dared to giggle about it and she too found herself picking up the mess with him.

As he held his hand out for her Tifa dusted hers took it firmly with a smile.

"Thank you."

[Taron]

"Its no problem Tif, and glad to meet you as well. Im sure it was a very lovely bar." He smiled. "What man would be foolish enough to not help a beautifull woman such as yourself." He blushed at the commet he let out. "Umm sorry,.... Im sure you dpnt like strange guys saying those things." He rambled, "so how long have you been runnin this joint?"

[Tifa Lockhart]

Tifa smiled too at the mention that it was a lovely bar, though she begged to differ now she still couldn't help but smile. Tifa's eyes widened as his face blushed a brilliant colour of red making her slightly too. Tifa couldn't help but smile now and what he said next really just went in one ear and out the other.

"You think I'm beautiful?"

Tifa still couldn't wipe the smile off her face, this guy just made her week.

[Taron]

"Well yes...yes I do. I would have to say that you are the most beautiful woman I have ever seen in my life.' He blushed even more, he moved a tad closer. "Your more beautiful than the sun, moon, and all the stars in the sky. Yet you have a kind heart, not a cold one. Just from the looks in your eyes you don't shy away from what you want. Your....I'm sorry that was probably a bit to much. But I really do think your every thing I just said." He blushed even more at his comments. He then wondered what could happen next.

[Tifa Lockhart]

Tifa just stood there as he called her beautiful not only beautiful but most beautiful. She noticed that he stepped in closer to her but she did not shy away, she was more captivated by his words. Right now she was in a venerable state of mind and his kind words played on her, in a good way though.

Tifa was blushing so bad now, the way he described her and what she was like made her smile and lower her head. She kept it there in fear of where this was going to go. Her feet wanted to run but her body did not move, she just kept her eyes lowered.

"No its alright, its not often I hear things like that...."

Tifa just let the silence linger but she did not move from where she was, for some reason she just couldn't. It was strange that someone she just met seemed to captivate her and for a minute or more there she forgot about Cloud...

(ooc: is Taron gonna eat me??? lol *worried look*)

[Taron]

(No he just built up some courage lol, really he just wants to kiss her lol! As it will say in this post lol)

He stepped a bit closer, yet it seemed they had both forgot that they had never let go of each others hand. "I would do any thing just for a kiss from you. I would go to the North Pole and bring you the colors of the sky, I would pull the moon close, and set the stars to bathe you in their light, for you are a shining star. More beautiful then the brightest. I would forfeit my life for just one kiss. Aphrodite's does not even begin to compare to your beauty. Nor any other goddess, for you are the most beautiful. Its not just your look, its how you carry yourself. Your independent and your stance says it, the sound of your voice could tame the wildest of beasts. Your voice alone makes a more beautiful sound than an angels harp. When you call men should fall at your feet. For you hold much power in yourself." He wanted to kiss her but he did not want to be rejected, or slapped, but he moved even closer and was whispering the last bit of his words.

[Tifa Lockhart]

Tifa froze as soon as she heard the word kiss. It was like it had just snapped her out of a trance, a daze, caught in his net. All the words that came from him after that one word just seemed to disappear in the wind, she was just stuck on the 'I want to kiss you'.

"I..."

Images of Cloud ran through her head, and she was having an inner fight with herself. She had just met this guy and here he was practically professing his love for her. She had to admit it was kinda faltering but she didn't have those same feelings, did she? No she didn't she was still very much in love with Cloud, he was the one that had her heart. However could she just keep waiting for him to see that? No he knew but he has never done anything....

Tifa was so confused and slowly she pulled her hand away from his grip.

"I'm sorry...."

Turning her head away from him and then turning to her side she build up some courage to at least form a sentence.

"I, I don't think I know you enough....and, well....I still very much in love with someone else..."

Tifa turned her back to him, she had never admitted that she was in love with Cloud out loud before and it sounded funny to her. With a sigh she began to clean up the mess, Toren would most likely leave her now just like everyone else so she figured that she better get started for it would be a long night.

((lol gonna have to try harder than that lol, Toren is so sweet *huggles Toren*))

[Taron]

"No, I'm sorry I should have never have come on to you like that. I....I don't know what happened I just lost my self control. You should still know that everything I said is true though. Also if you ever need any one and I meant it in all trueness you can come talk to me." He blushed a crimson red at that statement. He did not in fact leave but he stayed and started to clean up. He found a bottle of alcohol, he gladly picked up the whole bottle and put in on part of the bar that was not trashed. He quickly took out a materia and tossed it into his mouth quickly, it was one of his own he had stashed for when he had a materia craze. It was a cure 3 materia, he would now have that ability. He began to blush even more for what he was about to say. "After all We all need love divine. So I plan on sticking around to help you repair this place, hell maybe I can even help design some new things in here." He gave her another wide grinned smile. "Hey Tifa, don't worry be happy, for every thing will be OK with Taron around." He blushed once again. He was not sure what it was about her that gave him confidence to say such things, they just rolled off his tongue.

(LOL I love my song lines I put in there LOL. *Huggles Tifa*)

[Tifa Lockhart]

Tifa tried to busy herself with her cleaning, he meant what he said and he wasn't going to leave. She had to admit that she was a little fearful about her own feelings about him and he being so close on her but right now she just wanted to avoid all that.

"Design new things?"

Tifa was happy for the change in subject that she jumped on it.

"What things do you think need to be changed?"

[Taron]

"Well maybe we could have an entertainment bar, I could be a male stripper for your guests" He was clearly joking although if asked he might actually do it. "But really you should think about Karaoke I think your angelic voice would be great. If you need some one to help sing with you I can, ive been know to carry a tune here and there." He laughed he was serious however. He continued to pick up the place. "I think that would be a really good idea though the Karaoke . I can see it now Featuring the lovely styling of TIFA LOCKHART. You know thats when men start falling on there faces because your so beautiful. I will have to mop up the drool just from that alone." He laughed, "I can even build a stage for you."

[Four Fiends]

Midgar could be called many things. It was a moving metropolis. The home of science. The abode of refuse. And, more recently, the starting point of AVALANCHE. However, as of roughly three hours ago, it secretly gained a new title: the location of a Fiend.

Rubicante walked among the populace of the roofed city, its inhabitants none-the-wiser about his true nature. All that stood between him and them on a visual level was a dusty brown cloak, its hood pulled up to keep prying eyes out. Not even sunlight penetrated the veil, casting the inside of his hood into absolute blackness. Every now and then someone would catch a glimpse at his arm or his chin, but they would just back away. It was better that way, if they just looked the other way and pretended nothing had even happened. After all, he might have to kill someone if they tried to scream.

As part of his reconnaissance, Rubicante found himself before the Seventh Heaven. If his information was correct, the establishment was run by a certain ex-member of the terrorist organization affiliated with Aerith Gainsboro. Most excellent indeed. However, when he swung its double doors open, he was faced with a surprising sight. While the outside looked as fine as ever, the building was completely torn apart within. But that was not the half of it. Standing there, next to a woman who was unknown to him, was a being from his past. Taron.

The Fiend just stood silent, calmly contemplating what he would do next. But then, depending on how they responded, that decision might be made for him....
