[He's incredibly hesitant as he makes the call to Usagi. Having Sora tell him that Usagi could do more than just heal wounds, being Sailor Moon, of all things, was undeniably a surprise. But it also made this a little easier given he already knew the girl (and he wore a dress around her so this couldn't really be anymore awkward than that).]

Usagi? Am I... interrupting anything?

Oh! Hey Cloud! Uh, no, pretty slow day. What's up?

Um...

[How do you just tell someone you know their secret?]

I asked Sora if he knew anyone who could heal the scars on my arm, since they're unusual and nothing a normal healing spell can cure. He pointed to you. He told me that you're the one called Sailor Moon and you have the power to do just that.

[He's clearly still having trouble just asking. It's something he felt he needed to keep as a reminder of his mistakes but now he wasn't so sure, not if he had a way to be rid of them.]

Would you...

[She knows her baby brother, she knows Sora would NEVER tell about Sailor Moon unless it was serious, so these scars had to be super serious. She knew she could trust Cloud, too.

So she does what's most important, she helps her friends.]

I'd be happy to help any way I can, Cloud.

I... thank you, Usagi. Would your home be okay or somewhere else?

[He already feels like he's asking too much so may as well have her say where to do this.]

Yeah, my home is fine. I'm alone right now anyways. [And only Naminé and Sakura don't know about her abilities.]

I'll see you soon, Cloud.

[Cloud eventually arrived within an hour, looking rather awkward as he entered her home. Just like with Auron, it was hard showing this side of himself. They were just scars to some people, but they represented so much more to him.]

Thank you again, Usagi.

[When Cloud comes to her house, she's not Usagi but Sailor Moon, and she smiles as she lets him in. Although, Usagi can't recall if this is the first time he's met her like this.

Sailor Moon merely waves a dismissive hand.]

I'm happy to do it, Cloud.

[It is and it certainly wasn't what he expected, but... well, it made sense. In a way. Her sense of justice, that weird pen she had, her ability to heal.

He gave her a nod and he pulled off his glove. The scars seems to begin there, at the back of his hand at his knuckles, he then pushed up the sleeve of the loose short he wore and bunched it up at his bicep.]

It ends at my shoulder.

[She gestured for him to sit as she moved to sit beside him on the couch, even though it made for an interesting picture. She reached out and her fingers lightly ran up the scars, careful not to press too hard. She could feel the darkness from them.

She pressed her lips together.]

Cloud, I need you to stay still, and whatever you see... I can't have you repeat it to anyone. Only Sora can know, and that's it. Alright? But I promise it won't hurt.

[Well, it might make it difficult if anyone asks aside from Sora, but he nodded. If Usagi didn't want him to spill anything, then he wouldn't.]

Alright.

[He didn't flinch when she touched them. They didn't really hurt like that. But he couldn't help but look away.]

[She smiled and nodded before she took a deep breath and summoned her crystal, the lotus flower crystal glowed bright and warm and it's limitless power pulsed in time with her heartbeat. She looked at Cloud, and then let the light of her crystal wrap around the both of them.]

[The crystal was beautiful and he watched as the light enveloped them. He squinted, pupils shrinking in the light as he suddenly felt a burning sensation in his arm. He winced and looked down, squinting in the light as he watched his Darkness seemingly try to fight back against this healing Light. He strained, forcing himself still and letting the Light wash over the dark wounds.]

[Her eyes did not narrow as the Darkness rose up to meet her. She merely met it and surrounded it, overwhelmed it, wrapped it up as tight as she could in her light, and soothed it. She didn't want to just snuff it out, suffocate it until there was not an ounce less. She could, but that would ultimately be more painful for Cloud.

So she let the Darkness meet her and know her. The crescent moon on her brow glowing brighter and brighter. She exhaled and with an inhale, she pushed the light even further into Cloud's body.]

[He had to look away. Much like he did when fighting Sephiroth and Tifa was there. His Light and Darkness meeting in physical form. His eyes closed hard as the Darkness was pushed back, surrounded by Light in a way that he hadn't thought to do before.

He hoped this is what Tifa meant, that this would suffice until he was strong enough to do this on his own. He steeled his resolve, it was painful but he could take it. With the Light also came the burning sensation of the scars being cleansed and healed, the Darkness dissolving from his flesh until nothing was left.]

Tch...!

[She doesn't want to hurt him, but the darkness has never met her and fallen easily. Still, the more she surrounds it, the more his scars fade and disappear. Her light seeps into the deepest cell of his body, seeking every last inch of the scar and what's keeping it there to irradicate it.

When there isn't a single scar left, she inhaled and with her exhale, her light receded, gently pulling out of him in a much kinder way than how it entered. The light dimmed and the warmth was just a lingering curl along his arm. She allowed her crystal to disappear and looked up at him.]

How do you feel?

[It was a relief when it was over and he slouched forward a bit, resting his hands on his knees as he caught his breath. He nodded to her, but waiting until he had a moment to properly answer.

He opened his eyes and took a look at his arm. He ran his hand over the now smooth and unblemished skin and he closed his eyes again with an exhale through his nose.]

Better. Lighter. I... thank you.

Of course. [It's all she says as if it's not a problem. Because it isn't, not for her. She would do this time and time again if asked.]

Want something to eat before you head out? I think I have some leftover cake from Mako-chan's dinner last night.

[Stands from the couch and thinks. Food would be nice, but he's not sure he wants to take someone else's leftovers either.]

You sure? That should be for you guys, as much as I appreciate the offer.

Cloud. [She put her hands on her hips, giving him "the look."] I am not one to share my leftovers, so if I'm willing to share now, don't turn it down.

[Well damn.]

Duly noted.

Right! Then let's split that cake!
