"About?"Hiro said turning around on his stool.
"Alone if you don't mind."Jean said looking at Cloud and Aeris.
Hiro stood up."You have anything to say you can say it in front of them.If it wasn't for Cloud and his friends we'd still be in the mess we were in before."
Cloud smiled."Thanks Hiro."
Ronfar looked at her."Please,we really need to talk to him alone.He can tell you what it's about after ok?"
Cloud looked at Hiro who nodded his head as if to say 'I will tell you what is said.'Then sat agian.
Then Cloud and Aeris walked to the hall and dissapeared from view.
"Now."Ronfar said sitting down at the bar."When are we going after Sephiroth?"
Hiro looked at him."I'm not going to."
"Why not?"Ruby said sitting on a chair.
"I don't feel like it."Hiro said."I have other things to worry about."
Leo looked at him."That's the another thing Jean and I would like to discuss."
Lemina and Ronfar looked at him funny.
"About?"Hiro said turning to them.
"Tifa."Leo said.
Hiro got up."What about her?"
"I've noticed as well as Leo that she is getting very close to you."Jean said."She maybe falling in love with you."
Hiro scowled at her."So?"
Leo sat down."So?Is that all you can say?We told you she maybe falling in love with you and you say so?"
Hiro looked at them."Look.What I do and who I see is none of your concern"
Jean looked at Hiro."What are you talking about?"
Hiro looked at her."You just happen to be looking for me in the garden."
"Yes.You were gone all day."
Hiro's face darkened."Your not my mother Jean.Don't act as if you are."
Leo turned and punched him."That's enough Hiro!"
Hiro got to his feet."You have made a big mistake Leo."With that Hiro whipped out his boomerang and threw it at Leo,hitting him on the chin, sending him to the floor."Butt out!"
Leo got up rubbing his chin.
"That was uncalled for Hiro."Jean said."I hope you don't do act like this on Lunar."
"I'm not going back."Hiro muttered.
"What?!"Ruby said shocked.
"I'm not going back!"Hiro yelled.
Jean looked at him."But what about Lucia?"
Hiro looked at Jean."What about her?"Hiro said going towards the hallway."If you must know.Tifa does love me.She told me this morning."
Everyone looked shoocked.
"You didn't think any thing about it?"Lemina said."She said she loves you."
"Not really."Hiro said."Tifa's been there for me.She's listened to me,and she's never asked for anything in return.What do I get with Lucia?I'll tell you what. Nothing but pain,and.."
Ronfar looked at him."And?"
Hiro walked to the edge of the hallway."You can look for Sephiroth.I'm staying here."
"And?"Ronfar said again.
Hiro stoped and looked at him."I love her too."with that he walk down the hall to his room where he found Tifa waiting for him.
"I heard."She said."Did you mean it?"
Hiro opened the door,beconking her inside."Every word."
