Heart of a SOLDIER
By Ninth Lady
Sephiroth fixed the earth with a sad glare. Hadn't he lived there seven years ago? Had anyone thought ever felt that his life might have meant something? He was truly sorry about the Nibelheim reactor, and those effected by the incident. Those who died because of him, the victims, the parents he had never known, did they ever think about him? Why would they? Didn't I do something to their lives? Oh yeah, the victims hate me, and their alive relations hated my dead guts. They're glad that I'm dead. These thought had run through his mind since the day he had died. He hated it; his very existence was nothing to anyone.
It had been two years since Cloud and the others had saved the world Meteor. Yes, now they could live in peace, never ever thinking about the man that had died seven years beforehand. No one gave a damn about what he could have given. Well, maybe one person did. His girlfriend had been expecting his baby, yet he gone off to Nibelheim and lost it. Cloud had killed him, maybe that had been for good? Sephiroth sighed, his life seemed pretty worthless. Maybe she doesn't think so … Sephiroth was referring to his girlfriend, LaQuira. She had given birth to a daughter, Mya. Unfortunately, he hadn't been there so now his only option was to float around and watch her grow up without him.
Sephiroth glared at the spot where Lucrecia had hidden behind a waterfall like a coward. My mother was a total two timing jerk!! She pretended to love Vincent, when she really loved Hojo. Hojo. Does he hate me? Did he EVER love me? Why do I still moan over the past when I should look to the future? Because I don't have a damn future!!! My life is a total DAMNATION!!!!!!!!!
He thought about the good that had come from his death. Cloud and Tifa were married with a two year-old daughter called Mariana. Cid was a rich captain. Barret had married Aeris's mother, Elmrya. Red XIII had FINALLY found another of his species, and they had a pack of little cubs, ummm, whatever they were. Vincent and Lucrecia had joined together in holy matrimony. Yuffie had washed up in Mideel and married a guy named Logan. Cait Sith had been given to Mariana as a baby shower gift, Reeve thought it best that Cait Sith live the remainder of his life as his original purpose, a child's beloved toy. The love of his life and daughter lived in Neo-Midgar. At least the world had profited from his death.
With that thought echoing in his mind, Sephiroth sunk down towards the Lifestream to sleep awhile. He would wake up later and do a private tour of the few lives he cared to check up on, to see how Mya and LaQuira were doing, to see if Mariana had learn a new word. Maybe he might do some other stuff, too. But for now, he would sleep for all this would echo in his heart later. Just as these kinds of thoughts echoed in the hearts of everyone else, but especially in the heart of a SOLDIER.
Author's Notes
This is one of my best short fan fics that I've written. The entire purpose is to prove that Sephiroth isn't a heartless demon. He actually cares about people. LaQuira is the name that I choose for myself when I write my fics. She isn't part of the game.
