Okay, first, it is NOT a 'love' fic for Hojo (I doubt the man has a heart!), it is a fic to where I write about Hojo either dying or being tortured to some extent ^^ So, this is for all the Hojo haters out there who want to see him dead as much as I do.

Enjoy!

P.S.: I do not own Final Fantasy VII; if I did, Sephiroth wouldn't have gone insane, Zach would still be alive, and Hojo would've died several dozen times...

Hojo's Torture

Torture 1:

Steamed

It was a boring day at Shinra. Most people were lounging about with nothing to do since the President gave them 100 days off for some reason. Yet, there was a foreboding feeling all around the apartment that our dear friends were in.

There were three girls missing from the room; Adelina, Sabrina, and Katerina, and they all knew that when there was nothing to do on a day like this, bad things were bound to happen.

"Do you think they're just sleeping or something?" Zack asked, a little nervous. He was, at most times, the receiving end of the three girls pranks whenever they were bored. Why the President let them stay was still a mystery.

Genesis shook his head. "I checked all of their rooms; they weren't there."

"How did you get into their rooms?" Angeal asked, a little suspicious of his best friend.

Genesis shrugged. "Katerina gave me the password to hers, and it was easy to guess Adelina's and Sabrina's passwords." Everyone was quiet before a loud grumble filled the room. Everyone turned to look at Zack, who was smiling nervously.

"Sorry, haven't eaten lunch yet." A light bulb seemed to go off in Sephiroth's head.

"Did anybody bother to check the cafeteria?" He asked. Silence. "I'm taking that as a no; well," He sat up from his chair. "Let's go get something to eat." Everyone followed his example.

What they didn't know was that they were heading straight into a fest that they should all be afraid of.

"So, when should we do it? I mean, we have to make sure we get it at exactly the right moment." This was what all of the men heard as they turned into a very eerily empty cafeteria. The three forementioned girls were sitting at the very back in a dark cornor discussing something of great importance apparentely.

"There you are!" Zack yelled. The girls stopped talking and turned to look at who addressed them all. "We've been looking for you everywhere!" Out of the three, Sephiroth could see that Sabrina was the one who actually showed that she didn't believe it. Katerina smiled nervously and said, "Hi." in return.

Angeal was suspicous immediately. "What are you guys planning?" Adelina rolled her mismatched green and blue eyes.

"We can at least say it doesn't involve any of you." Tension seemed to be released from the air. "But..." Tension shot up again at Adelina's evil smile; scratch that, all of the girl's evil smiles. "Someone will die."

"I'm going to go now." Cloud said, a little scared for his life. Reno and Zack followed his lead. The three that were left looked at each other, shrugged, and sat with the scheming girls.

"So, what are you planning now?" Angeal asked, a little intrigued that something interesting was going to happen. Adelina glared at him.

"We can't tell you, or else you're probably going to turn us in. Speaking of which," Adelina turned to Katerina, who was scribbling furiously in her notebook. "What time is it, Katerina?" Katerina lifted her wrist and widened her bright blue eyes.

"Time to go!" All three packed and ran out of the cafeteria in what seemed to be record time.

"That was quick." Genesis thought out loud after a minute of silence. Sephiroth sighed and went to get some food. "I wonder if what they're doing is that important." Sephiroth returned with three trays of lunch. "Maybe we should worry about who they're going to kill..."

"I say we don't get involved; therefore, we don't die." After Sephiroth's statement, they all agreed and began to eat.

At least they were smart enough to stay out of what the three girls were planning that day.

"He's in the bath house, right?" Sabrina whispered to her two friends. They both nodded and grinned maniacally at each other before slowly turning up the steam in the house that their least favorite scientist was.

Scratch that; least favorite person.

Hojo, meanwhile, was going to have a relaxing few hours in the bath-house that was conveniantly placed close to Shinra's main building. He sighed as he slipped, letting his old (disgusting) body relax. As he relaxed, he didn't notice that the steam was coming out more and more from the pipes.

When he did notice, he was already close to dying.

He swore he heard familiar evil laughter outside, but his brain didn't comprehend anything as he fell unconcious... and died.

A few moments later, Hojo woke up to see that he was laying in his bed, at his house, actually resting.

When he tried to remember what happened before he went to bed, his mind drew a blank. He pondered on how that could be, but didn't bother and got up to get ready for work.

What he didn't know was that he was getting ready for ninty-nine days of more torture.

And he didn't even remember!

As you can tell, I had a lot of fun writing this chapter :)

Yes, there will be ninty-nine more chapters for this, but I only have sixty-seven ideas so far :(

Ideas and reviews would be appreciated very much!
