Disclaimer:
I'm sick of writing these. I don't
own Final Fantasy 7. Only the slow of
mind would think otherwise.
Author's Note:
I thought I'd write a Seph/Aeris story for
a change instead of just Yuffie/Vincent.
And uh.. maybe this'll put a new twist on the
plot. See, annoying as it may be, that's one
thing I absolutely LOVE about the Final Fantasy
series lately. All the endings leave themselves
open to countless questionings. Or atleast one or two.
And uh, this story begins when Aeris gets stabbed.
Am I the only one who laughed? Does Aeris have no blood
or something? This should explain the lack of blood as
well.. Oh and this is likely to be a one-shot, one-chapter
songfic-sort of, writers-block-curing thing. So no flames
please.. -_- But feel free to ask either Sephiroth or
Jenova or any other FF7 cast member questions in your
review. If I do continue, it'll be interactive, like many
of my stories =)
[Chapter One: What Really Happened...]
[Place: City of the Ancients]
[Outside at the lake]
A dark-clad figure stared down at his nemesis,
glaring through the branches of the tree he was
crouched in, a hand on his sword. He could easily
slay all three of those pitiful worms now... but
he preferred toying with his prey, and besides, he
thought, he had more pressing matters to attend to.
"Humans can only stay unconscious underwater so long.."
he muttered and, after Cloud and the others had gotten
a safe distance away, lept from his hiding place, landing
beside the lake.
"You poor little flower girl.." he muttered as he walked
into the icey cold waters, towards where Aeris' body had
been laid. ".. tossed aside like worthless garbage by your
allies. Real nice way to show they care."
By the time he finished talking to himself, so it seemed,
he was completely sumbmerged, his hair floating wildly
behind him as he calmy walked to where Aeris lay, picking
up her body and carrying it back out of the lake, lying it
aside to dry. Sephiroth glared down at the motionless girl
before him, laughing a bit madly. "How a girl like you.." he
said, staring down at her face, "could pose such a threat
to my plans.." Sephiroth stared up at Jenova's hideous
form nearby.
"Mother!" he called with an inner grimace, "We're going
back home for now.." And with that, he grabbed up
Jenova with one hand, Aeris' body with another, and
simply.. vanished.
[Many hours later...]
The young flower girl awoke as beams of sunlight
hit her eyes. At first, she wondered where she was,
but wasn't troubled yet as she was quite groggy, but
after a moment she realized something was horribly
wrong.
"I.. I'm alive?" Aeris questioned to no one in
particular, jumping up and staring around at what
appeared to be a normal every-day bedroom. Then she
realized she had been sleeping on satin sheets atop
a very comfy, large bed. "Wh.. where am I..?"
Then she heard footsteps approaching; a slow, long,
powerful stride that was accompanied by the brushing of
a certian type of long garment..
"Wh-Who's there?"
Without knocking or hesitation, a heavy boot kicked the
door open. Aeris was shocked and, at first, horrified,
to see the man that stabbed her standing there with
a smirk on his face. But..
"I see you woke up. How does it feel, being tossed
aside by your only friends?'
.. needless to say, this fear was quickly replaced
by anger and hatred for this heartless fiend that
stood before her. "You.. I thought you killed me..!"
"Oh, yes.." Sephiroth said, striding over to her
cooly, seemingly amused by the confused and slightly
angered look on his captive's face, ".. you would have
loved that, wouldn't you? Unfortunately, I was one
step ahead, as usual."
"Wh.. what are you talking about?"
Sephiroth stopped in front of Aeris, and leaned down
so that his face was inches away from her own. A colder
look fell upon his features as her annoyance quickly
faded back to fear.
"Do you think I'm that stupid?" he muttered, his tone
of voice one of slight amusement. "honestly, to give
my foe such an easy way to foil me would be utter
madness. No, I didn't kill you, otherwise you wouldn't
be here obviously. You'd be in the Lifestream, already
moving to overthrow my plans."
"Then, what did you do?" Aeris asked quietly,
backing away from the menacing terror. Sephiroth
smirked at her reactions and moved closer just to
bother her.
"I merely stunned you with a feigned attack.. it
looked, and to you felt, just like stabbing."
And, with a mad laugh, he stood up straight once
more. "I'm surprised your 'friends' were so
stupid as to not notice the lack of blood that
would normally have poured from your corpse had
you really been stabbed.."
"I thought Jenova wanted me dead.. I thought you--!"
"You got half of it right." Sephiroth chuckled.
"Jenova wanted you dead. But as displeased as it made
her, I could care less. It would have deeply hurt my
plans. That vile creature doesn't use its head.."
"But I thought that you-"
"That I was a puppet of Jenova?" Sephiroth said, before
busting out laughing. "I am using Jenova.. to control
Cloud's mind... to manipulate him.. once I get what
I want from that fool, Jenova will be of no more use
to me than you. So it is quite the opposite."
"You aren't going to get away with any of this.." Aeris
muttered, her voice a bit broken with nervousness. The
platinum haired man seemed to find this amusing as well.
"I already have, precious. I already have.." And with that,
he walked off, slamming the door shut. He felt a certain
sadness for having to keep the girl locked away, but quickly
dismissed it as a weakness. "Come, mother.." he called, grimacing
inwardly as he did so. ".. we have work to do."
