a/n- ok I admit, it's been a while since I have done a fanfiction. Feel free to constructively criticize if you feel the need but please be nice about it. Any and all reviews are welcome.
Summary- Kate goes to sleep one night and awakens to find herself in a new world. She is in the game Final Fantasy 7 long before any of the action takes place. What happens when she is stuck with an injured Genesis Rhapsodos for surveillance while he recovers? Genesis X OC.
Kate had gone to bed late the night before. She had an exam at school the next day and she was anything but prepared. She was going to wake up early the next day and do some more studying. She had to make a good grade in this class or she was going to lose her scholarship. Oh Lord, what was she going to do?
When she awoke the next morning, nothing was familiar. She was actually lying on the grass in some unfamiliar place. She was bewildered. Suddenly a group of men approached her.
"Hey you, what are you doing here?" one of them yelled. She was surprised to hear that they were speaking some foreign language but that she could still understand them. She wondered if they would understand her if she spoke back. The group of men was closer now. She could now see the that they were all dressed in a military fashion. Oh boy, she though. What in the world was going on?
They were right in front of her now. "I asked what you are doing here." The one in front yelled again. "Honestly, I don't even know," Kate said back in the same unfamiliar tongue. She was only slightly surprised. The men on the other had seemed puzzled by her answer. The leader shrugged.
"Come with me," he said as he picked her up off of the ground, rather roughly.
The group of men then surrounded her and led her into the building that was on the other side of the field she had found herself lying in when she awoke. She was still confused but she had no choice but to follow them. After all, they were armed with swords and guns while she was completely weaponless.
When they got inside Kate was overwhelmed. Everything was so militaristic, but even still it was a beautiful building. The floors were some sort of almost luminescent stone. The front entry room had domed ceilings and graceful arches supporting them. Kate wanted to just stay and stare at the architecture but the group of men surrounding her was still moving forward at a brisk pace. She had to trot to be able to keep up with them.
"Where are you taking me?" Kate asked one of them walking beside her.
"We don't know what to do with you so we are taking you to the general," the man replied to her timid question. Oh great, she was going to have to meet some sort of leader in this whole strange military place.
The men led her to the far side of the great entry way and down a hallway. The hallway was just as grand as the first room she saw. Kate was still awestruck as they came to an office door. The group of men halted and the leader grabbed Kate by the hand. Only he and she went into the room.
As soon as she walked into the room, Kate was greeted by the smell of juniper. Then she actually looked around the office. It was carpeted with a plush rug. The bookshelves along the wall were covered in books with titles she had never heard of. The far side held a great window overlooking a large grassy field on which people were already beginning the training exercises, or at least that's what she thought they were, for the day. In front of the widow was a large mahogany desk covered in paperwork. The chair of the desk was facing towards the window so she couldn't see the occupant. The man beside her cleared his throat and hesitantly said, "General…?"
Very slowly the chair turned around as the man said, "What is it that you have come to bother me with now?" Kate audibly gasped when she saw who it was that had spoken. She suddenly knew where she was, although she had no idea how.
The man in front of her was the prodigal symbol of the main force on this planet. The man in front of her was the Silver General. It was Sephiroth!
The Silver General raised an eyebrow at the young Regular and the peculiar looking woman standing beside him. "Speak," he ordered calmly. Although he was intrigued by this situation, no sort of emotion every snuck into his voice unless he was with his two dearest friends.
"We found this woman lying on practice field B a little while ago. She claims to have no idea how she got here," the solider stated swiftly. One did not waste the general's time.
Sephiroth turned and looked directly at Kate. "Woman, what is your name?" he asked her. Kate had gone pale at being in the presence of one of the characters in her favorite game.
"My name is Kate," she finally stammered when she had actually gotten enough air in her lungs to make a coherent statement.
"Ok, then Kate. How did you get to be here in my base of SOLDIER? "Sephiroth pressed. Now that was the winning question. Kate had no idea how to answer that one.
"Well you see, that's a funny story. I don't even know that myself. Last night I was studying for a test and fell asleep and the next thing I knew I woke up here. I know that is hard to believe. I am actually having a hard time believing it myself. It makes no sense but I'm not actually from this world. This world here is just part of a game that I play during my spare time. I was going to play it when I finished studying last night…" Kate managed to ramble. She still was uneasy about being in the same room as one of her fictional obsessions.
"Ok you can stop!" Sephiroth sighed as he rubbed his temples. Her story was unlikely at best. Although she didn't look like it, she could be some sort of Wutain spy. It would probably be best to keep her under some sort of surveillance until her motives could be assessed. Unfortunately he didn't have enough people available to just randomly assign someone to watch over her day and night. Then suddenly he had an idea.
The girl looked to be slight and incompetent when it came to wielding a weapon, but he knew that looks could be deceiving. Nonetheless, he had the perfect idea for someone to watch over her. His good friend had recently been wounded on the battlefield and was confined to his room for the next six weeks to recover. He knew his friend was injured but should have no trouble putting this woman into her place should the need arise. After all his friend wasn't one of the Terribly Trinity for no reason. Even injured he was one hell of a fighter.
Sephiroth sighed again as he stood up. He noticed Kate startle just a little bit. She obviously knew his reputation enough to be wary of him. More evidence that she was actually from this world and not an outsider as she claimed to be.
"Where are we going?" she asked timidly. She wasn't usually so timid but it wasn't often that one came into contact with an intimidating character she had only dreamed about before.
"We are going to meet your new roommate," Sephiroth said in a cool voice. He knew the man in question wouldn't be too fond of the idea but he didn't really have a choice. Sephiroth was the general after all. Kate said nothing but instead just followed Sephiroth out of the room back into the spacious hallway. The group of men was long gone. The only was left was the leader who followed them out of the room. Sephiroth lead them to the end of the hallway to an elevator. They both got into it and rode it up to the fifth floor. Kate was a little curious about what was going on.
"What are you going to do with me?" she asked.
"You are being put under surveillance until I decide what is to become of you," Sephiroth said as he got out of the elevator. This hallway was just a long empty space with a few doors sprinkled here and there. Sephiroth stopped at the third door on the left and knocked. After a few minutes, the door finally opened.
"What in the name of the Goddess do you want?" a voice called out. That was when Kate met her new roommate in this strange new place. It was none other than the man out of her fantasies. Commander Genesis Rhapsodos.
So read and review my dears ^_^
