Mile's eyes widened. Her parents died from heartless? Nobodies were involved too? He looked at her deeply, his brown eyes full of amaze, and most of all, sadness, for her. Losing your parents...it can hurt you a lot, its like a physical blow, like everything just loses meaning. Losing the ones you loved the most...
He clenched his fist tight, holding back any tears. Her predicament was the same as his, she lost her parents to the heartless, just like he did. His nails dug into the flesh of his palm so hard, a trinkle of blood came down his wrist. He cursed to himself, then took the same hankerchief out, cleaning off the blood, he then threw it in the trash, it pretty much used.
"You...lost your parents to the heartless..." He started. He knew Aiden cut off the story, but he would ask her about it later. For now, his eyes looked at hers again, and this time she could probably see his eyes filled with sorrow, grief, fear.
"I lost my parents to the heartless too...no, I lost my whole world..." He told her weakly.

"I'm sorry...[/color]
She said quietly, almost without feeling. She hadn't talk to anyone, truly talked to anyone, in years. It felt weird, and she was still getting into the gest of it. She looked at Mile for a moment, and then turning her view back to the blank cieling. She wanted to start over, be as blank as the cieling was, and start from the beginning.
Aiden put the cross back down and then around her neck again. She hit her head back down on the pillow as they sat silent for a moment.
Well, Aiden your on a roll, just don't keep this memorial going for long. This won't help much since, I don't know if you even really care? Well, go with it ok?
Her consiounce wasn't helping much anymore, more confusing her then anything. But, like it had a chose.

"Don't be, its not your fault.." Mile told her softly, looking at her. He then stood up, unable to sit or lay down in one spot for too long now. He continued talking.
"Do you have any idea what you're going to do after this?" He added in hastily. "No need to tell me, its just my curiousity, ya know..." He laughed bitterly.

Aiden shook her head a little, she had no idea. Aiden looked at her hands, and her nails. She looked at Mile for a moment, and she knew she had a little money left. She wanted to do something. She slowly stood up from the bed.
"I'll be back in a little bit."[/color]
She said softly, heading to the door and looking back at him for a moment. She quickly opened it and walked through, shutting the door behind her. She had left her ribbon laying just on top of her bed, slowly slipping off.
Aiden walked down the hall, her skirt drifting with her. She had also left her long blue cloak on the bed, as she did not want to wear it now. She walked forward, wanting to see a little of the world. And wanting to by something at the market.

Mile nodded, then walked over to his weapons. He picked up the broadsword, and swung it around a few times, slicing the air in low and high arcs both. He closed his eyes, letting himself imagine he was being attacked by heartless. He swiftly moved and practiced fighting with the two-handed weapon for the next few minutes, cutting down imaginary heartless in his head.
When he exhausted with the sword, he took a moment to breathe and sit down, then got up again, and picked up his long sword. He then continued the routine, but this time with his eyes open. He was glad he didn't accidentally slice anything, though it was a nicely spaced room.

Aiden walked into a nice market place, a few shops, and it wasn't as crowded as she expected, a nice surprise. She still kind of hid her face through her hair as she walked though. She looked through the shops as she walked in a line between them. She was looking for two specific things. they were quite clear, and most likely she could find them here.
Aiden turned towards a row of shops, that many people seemed to be avoiding, most likely Aiden would like what was within. Everything in the first shop was black. She knew she could find one thing she wanted here. She dug through the window a little to find three small things that added up to be just what she wanted. It wasn't much, but she hadn't seen them in a long time.
Aiden continued down the row after she had taken out her small blue pouch that had a few coins in that she paid with. She looked down the row a little more, and stopped when she came upon the second item she wanted. She knew this would be could. It would allow her to not talk to Mile, but also to explain what she was going through.
Aiden quickly paid for the item. She stuffed the three small items in her pouch and carried the third with her as she headed back towards the hotel. She knew she had only been gone about 20-30 minutes.

A mysterious being stood on top of one of the rooftops, his glowing turquoise eyes following Aiden as she walked. With a minor grin, he glided to the hotel without being noticed, and through an open window on the floor Mile's room was on. Sephiroth smirked slightly.
"I believe this boy knows where something of mine is being held..." He told himself. He then walked down the hall slowly, his footsteps 'ringing down the hall' as he does.
--
Mile froze, he heard someone approaching. He shifted his eyes to the door, sword still in hand. It could be Aiden, but she would just walk in. Whoever it was just stopped walking, apparently waiting..

Aiden sighed a little as she opened the door to the hallway of the inn. She looked down the hall and began to walk the first length. As she got to the end she turned around it and saw a man before Mile's door. She froze for a moment. The man looked like no one she had met before. Maybe a friend of his?
Wake up! How could this guy be his friend! He's a demon for all we know![/color]
the yelling coming back once again. As it had many time before, the cross around her neck glowed again. It did at many times, mainly in times of emergency, or when she was sad. It was like her protection. She knewthis man was bad knews now.

Sephiroth turned his head and noticed Aiden. His head tilted to the side for a moment, but then he smiled, a evil smile at that. "Aiden as I overheard..."
--
Mile heard the voice, it wasn't a voice he recognized. He heard him mention Aiden too, so he quickly threw the door open and slid into the hallway, directly behind Sephiroth.
"Who are you?! Aiden?" He saw her a bit further down. He was relieved to see her okay, but being distracted by that, he didn't notice Sephiroth quickly rotate around, pressing a hand to Mile's chest. With a booming voice he roared.
"Fira!" A blast of red and yellow flames burst on Mile's chest, him crying out a bit in pain as he was thrown back into the wall hard. The close contact singed the skin, a burnt hole in the middle of his shirt as he was slammed back.
"Little boys like yourself shouldn't stick their noses in things that don't concern them..." He paused, and then spoke. "But I do believe you know where a certain something of mine is...and I want to know." Mile's response was a scowl and jerking his head away from Sephiroth's gaze, though it slightly pained to move.

Aiden watched in estonishment for a moment. She knew something like this would happen.
"Mile!"[/color]
she yelled to him, taking a step forward. But, then it seemed as if she couldn't. She figured she was scared, but why?
Don't be dumb Aiden! Just go! Help him! Don't be a coward! You used to be one of the bravest! You stood for what you believed in, sure it wasn't Mile's side, but it is what people encouraged you to do! You fight strong, with passion![/color]
the voice continued to yell in her head. She knew she could help, and wanted to, but she couldn't take a step forward, she felt like she was holding herself back. She looekd at Mile hit againest the wall, and clutched her hands together.

"Aiden, stay away from him." Mile stumbled onto his feet, then leaped forward, swinging his blade in a smooth arc. Unfortunately, Sephiroth just disappeared, and all Mile sliced was the air. He knew what would happen next, he quickly rotated around, and braced himself, his hands crossed in front of him. Sephiroth reappeared in front of him with a hand already raised.
"Thundara!" He hissed. A strong bolt of thunder connected with Mile's hands, sending a wave of pain through them that racked his body too. But it was less painful then the fira spell, and also shoved Mile back. He caught himself quickly, and Sephiroth smirked, saying.
"As fun as this is, I really only need to ask of you something. If you don't answer, or continue throwing yourself at me, well...I don't think I need to explain the details."
Mile stood up wobbily. He could've easily dodged that thundara spell coming towards him, but his reason why he just let it connect and tried protecting himself, was because Aiden was behind him.

Aiden watched with a little fear, she hoped Mile could take this. She shut her eyes slightly as she listened for a moment. She would try and respect Mile's wishes by staying where she was.
Why are you listening to him? He doesn't know what he's saying! He'll get hurt![/color]
Aiden ignored the voice for the moment. She remembered her Suis. Aiden lifted her hand to the side, opening it where two weapons appeared. She quickly grasped them. Her Suis' were always in hand.
Aiden looked at Sephiroth and Mile for a moment, letting them continued until she needed to come in.

Sephiroth glanced at Aiden as she brought her own weapons out, then looked at Mile. "You have my blade don't you." He accused. The boy shook his head, raising a hand and readying his fire spell.
"No, and if I did, I wouldn't give it to you even if you'd pay me...Fire!" A ball of flames shot from his hand and at Sephiroth. The fighter raised his hand and blocked the ball of fire, but he did stumble a bit. 'Ahh this boy's rage, his strength, his ferocity...how interesting...' Sephiroth thought with a smirk. He then continued.
"My Masamune...where is it." He asked simply. Mile's eyes seemingly widened at the name. He DID know where it was, Leon had Mile keep it safe along with the other assortment of weapons he had. It was too dangerous to wield, but who would suspect a simple 15 year old boy to be hiding it?
"You know. I can see." The silver-haired man chuckled, then walked towards Mile's room. The boy growled, then jumped forward, sword raised over his head. Sephiroth glanced at him, and starts to swiftly move his hand forward to restrain Mile, but he quickly side-stepped as he came close, then slashed Sephiroth across the back.
He grunted, stumbling forward, surprised and shocked that this boy could touch and hurt him. 'He's fast as well...' He thought. Before Mile could go in for the final blow, Sephiroth turned, grabbed him by the throat, and started choking him.
Mile yelped, gasping for air, trying to get a breath but it was no use. But choking him to death wasn't Sephiroth's plan. He would save him later. Instead, Sephiroth extended the hand with Mile back, then spun around, slamming Mile into the same wall as before. He slumped to the floor, totally wiped, and feeling some bone-crushing pain in him, but he still was concious and tried pushing himself back up. But he barely could, and he could only elevate himself high enough to see the silver hair man's face. Sephiroth raised a brow in surprise, then ran into Mile's room, looking around for the hidden blade.

"Mile!"[/color]
Aiden ran to Mile, dropping her Suis beside her as she bent down. She leaned over him as she wondered what this man wanted, why he was here. She had heard about the sword, but how was she supposed to understand.
Aiden looked at Mile and knew he could not continue on this fight, at least not at the moment. She heard the man searching in Mile's room. She heard something fall and her could see the faint glow of her cross now.
"Mile, I want to take care of this, I do want to."[/color]
She said to him, hoping her wouldn't hesitate in letting her fight, even if it hurt her deeply. This was something Aiden had to do for herself. She waited for his approval.

Mile slowly moved so his back was against the wall, looking at Aiden. He felt only minorly embarrassed, but he was surprised Aiden wanted to fight. As much as he didn't want her getting hurt, she seemed desperate, and if Sephiroth couldn't find his sword, she'd have a good chance of help finishing this fight, if not driving him away. Hesitantly, he nodded.
"Alright...just be careful. And if you get too hurt, just run. I don't want to see another friend of mine getting hurt or killed because of me..." He said softly.
