Pepper Spray

Kat a high school girl with black hair that was a little longer than waist length walked down the ally she took to get from school to her part time job quickly. Her light green eyes with the blue around the edge of her iris, looked bored and tired. She hadn't slept at all the other night in order to study for her test that she would have studied for if her Final Fantasy games didn't looks so great at the time. She walked into the game store and dropped her bag behind the counter and put on the apron that had the company name on it. She had a few Final Fantasy pins on the sides of the apron but nothing else. A guy looked over at her and said

"Well Kat you are late again. Be thankful I covered for you." He put the magazine down and stretched some. He was taller than Kat being 20 while she was only 16.

"Thanks John, I'm sorry my test ran long." She said jumping over the counter and sliding off the other side next to John.

"Its alright, means I get to stay and piss off my land lord even more."

"Won't she lock the gate soon?" Kat said looking at the clock it was 6:30

"Naa, she doesn't close the gate until 7:10. I just love getting there after she closes the gate and then making her open it up again or just jumping over it showing her how easy it would be to break in. His brown eyes paused while looking over Kat. He was looking into her eyes.

"Well look who is the first little gamer to get sick with Geostigma." he said with a smile.

"They are better than those stupid glasses I have." Kat said with a smile. John was always nice to her, he always seemed to notice the little changes she made to herself.

"How long are you here for tonight?"

"I'm here till ten. I wish Mr. Soma would just close the store after 8, no one ever comes after 8."

"No he hasn't closed the store that early since the one kid came in and bought 3 systems at once. Biggest sale to ever happen, you think he will give up the hope that it will happen again?"

"Your right, I don't see the point though." Kat complained.

"You can always work somewhere else."

"No way! Are you kidding me the employee discount is to good to give up. Without that I wouldn't even have a playstation2." Kat almost yelled at John.

"Then stop complaining. Well I best go, will you be ok here by yourself?"

"Ya I'll be fine."

"Ok don't let Soma catch you playing Final Fantasy on the job again though."

"I can finally buy Final Fantasy XII what are you talking about?" Kat yelled at him as John walked out. The hours went by slowly and no one came. At that time business was slow, with everyone already playing their FF12 no one needed anything until another game came out.

Kat messed with a keychain with an FMA character on it. It was the some person with glove that had writing on it in a military uniform. Kat sat waiting for closing time trying not to look at the stand for the Final Fantasy games, the temptation would be to much for her to handle. When closing time came Mr. Soma walked out from the back. He had brown hair and had a light blue dress shirt on with black dress pants.

"Well Kat I think that you can have this. It isn't on the shelves anymore." He handed her an art tub and within it held Final Fantasy posters, and her pay check.

"Thank you Mr. Soma!" Kat said with a little squeal.

Mr. Soma laughed and said " Well it is better to make use of something rather than throwing it out. You can go now."

"Ya ok." Kat grabbed her bag and walked out with the art tube with the posters inside it. She took the same ally way to skip a few block so she could get to her apartment sooner. While she walked down the dark ally she herd the rustle of rat digging through garbage. The sound always sent shivers down her back. It was the same sound in the movies that meant someone or something was going to get you. Looking over her shoulder Kat saw nothing. Her mind wandering she thought of the posters. She knew Sephiroth would be on one of the posters just because most people liked Cloud more. Thinking more of the posters her Fan girl side took over and she though of how cool it would be to meet some of the characters. A small list went off in her mind of who she would want to meet: Sephiroth, Cloud, and Vincent. She had stopped walking thinking of how great it would be to meet them. Her mind wishing over and over that they were real. Suddenly three explosions went off around her, white clouds were left after the ear ringing noise. Instinct made Kat grab her pepper spray. In front of her someone was standing with blond hair. They stepped towards her and she shot the spray at the person holding the trigger down for a good 20 seconds while the peppery spray hit the person. They backed away and screamed in a voice that Kat knew all to well.

"Crap! What the hell is that!"

"The clouds cleared and Kat was surrounded by Sephiroth to her right Vincent to her left and Cloud right in front of her screaming about the pepper spray. Sephiroth was laughing hysterically. While Vincent smirked with a faint snicker. Sephiroth dew his sword still laughing and aimed to slash down Cloud. Kat grabbed a handful of his silver hair and held on as tight as she could, he tried to jump being jerked back and landing on the wet dirty ground his sword dangerously close to my legs.

"What the hell was that for!" Sephiroth yelled.

"I- I don't want you to kill Cloud, Or anyone else. You have killed enough."

"How the hell do you know-" he paused when he looked at my eyes. Kat knew he was looking at my eye color, with the contacts she looked like she had Geosigma and Kat thought he believed that she did.

"Sephiroth, why not listen to the reason why she brought us here. There must be a reason for her calling us three to this world." Vincent said. He was leaning against the brick wall and glanced over to Cloud with his crimson eyes.

"What the hell is that stuff?" Cloud asked he had stopped rubbing his eyes but they continued to water.

"Um…this is pepper spray." Kat said holding up the can of pepper spray. Cloud shielded his eyes. Kat lowered the can to just have it taken by Vincent. He studied it looking at it trying to figure out how it worked. She snatched the can back and stuffed it into my bag.

"Come on, we need to get to my place before anyone sees your three."

"Why does it matter if they see us?" Sephiroth asked

"Everyone in this world knows you three they obsess over you. I don't want crowds to form."

"Fine lets go." Sephiroth said sheathing his sword after standing up. Kat lead them to my apartment using only the back roads as much as possible. Waiting until a group of school girls walked around the corner. Then Kat lead the group into the apartment complex. Everyone was us stairs at the roof party or in their rooms making it easy for Kat to sneak the three Final Fantasy characters up to her room. Once in her room Kat dropped her bag and sat on the couch with a sigh. Sephiroth looked around the small apartment then looked over at Kat.

"Tell us, why did you summon us here?"

"I didn't mean to, it was a mistake it think." She said pulling off her shoes.

"You think? There must be a reason that you summoned us here." Cloud grumbled.

"I didn't actually think that I could summon any of you here. But I have and I don't know what to do."

"Don't mind Cloud, he is just upset that you sprayed him with that stuff." Vincent said sitting down next to Kat.

"Well, can you at least tell us why we had to sneak around to get here?" Sephiroth asked propping his sword against the wall.

"Everyone in this world knows about you three. They obsess over you. And if anyone found out that you were here in this world my apartment would be over run with fan girls."

"Fan girls?" Cloud asked still rubbing his eyes they were puffy and red from the pepper spray.

"Fan girls are girls that obsess over people and if they find out where the person they obsess lives or is staying they won't stop going there. I know this because I am a fan girl myself. I hate to say it but there are many twisted people out there that take their obsession over you to an unhealthy level."

"What do you mean?" Vincent asked.

"Alright you asked for it." Kat said pulling her laptop off the table and going to one of the yaoi sites that featured Cloud, Sephiroth, and Vincent. She clicked on one of the pictures of Cloud and Sephiroth in the bath tub together. Turning the screen so they could see.

"What the hell! I would never do anything like that!" Sephiroth yelled

"Who the hell are these perverts!" Cloud screamed.

"That is disgusting." Vincent said not even looking at the screen.

"I told you that there are some twisted people with a lot of free time on their hands." Kat said. Though she didn't say it she often visited that sight. She is a fan girl after all. Kat closed the window and put the screen of her laptop down and said. " You guys need something to wear besides that. You will be mobbed if you go around like that." She said answering their question before they asked it.

"So where are we going to get something else to wear?" Vincent asked.

"Come on, I'll take you three to the store." ' Good by Final Fantasy 12.' she thought as she pulled her shoes back on. All three of the Final Fantasy characters waited for her by the door while she got her money that was saved to buy FFXII. AT the store she helped them Find out their sizes and then grabbed jeans and shirts from the discount area. Buying stuff on normal price was to expensive for Kat. The entire time that they shopped people had stopped looking at Sephiroth Cloud and Vincent. Guys just looked at them then went on. The girls that saw them on the other hand had started to form a group around giggling and whispering to each other. Kat didn't mind the girls hanging around the Final Fantasy characters. If anything they would buy them something. Cloud was looking at the sweat shirts while Vincent examined the T-shirts. On the other hand Sephiroth was trying on pants. He walked out of the changing room in a pair of trip pants that had chains and straps of fabric attacked. The pants fit well on him but it wants his pants that had the girls giggling. He hadn't taken a shirt to try on so he was shirt less. A girl walked over to Sephiroth with a bag and set it down saying.

"Here, I bought these for you Sephiroth." Before Sephiroth could reply she turned and ran off. The girls that were with her giggled. Sephiroth looked in the bag and pulled out some shirts that looked to be XL. I smirked the plan of getting the others to buy the Final Fantasy characters stuff was working.

"Hey Kat, how much is this?" Cloud asked looking at a sweat shirt that was black with a wolf picture on the back. I looked at the tag and read it out loud.

"This is 20 dollars. I don't have that much."

"I'll buy it for you Cloud!" one of the girls asked running up taking the sweat shirt and asking "Is there anything else?"

" Um…ya." Cloud looked at me I smiled and said.

"I'm sure Cloud would love it if you bought that for him." Kat said the girl giggled and as she backed away he was surrounded by girls giggling and talking to him.

"It is ok, I don't need all of this." Vincent said as girls crowded around him with bags of shirts and jeans for him.

"Ok come on guys we need to go."

As the Final Fantasy characters walked out with Kat the fan girls looked happy that they had taken the stuff they bought for them but sad that they left. Kat had a bag with some stuff in it she bought for herself.

Back at the apartment.

"That was murder!" Cloud said sitting on the couch with bags sitting on the ground happily full of shirts and jeans.

Sephiroth and Vincent looked wiped out as well.

"I had no idea it would be that bad." Sephiroth muttered.

"Well you had no shirt on what did you expect?" Kat said with a little giggle at how tired they all were.

"I think I could fall asleep right here." Cloud muttered sitting on the ground next to the door. Kat sat on the couch next to Vincent and Sephiroth leaned against the coffee table.

"You weren't kidding when you said they would gather and not leave us alone." Sephiroth muttered.

"Yes well you three better get to sleep. There is a guest room over to the right. My room is down the hall if you need anything ask. Oh ya and the bathroom is right across from your room." Kat said picking up her bags and putting them in her room. She helped the three put their stuff in the dresser in the guest room. Vincent's stuff was in the in the closet while Sephiroth and Cloud shared the dresser. The guest room have two twin beds. Vincent had said that he would sleep on the couch and he did.

"You two better not fight you here? If I have to deal with that then I'm going to get out my pepper spray." Cloud gave my back pack a little glare then flopped down on the bed.

"Whatever." Sephiroth said stretching his arms above his head.

"Ok well I'm going to bed, oh and Chi is somewhere around here, don't kill him. He is a little black cat." Kat said walking out of the guest bedroom she looked over at the couch and Vincent seemed to be asleep already. Kat got into her pajamas and crawled into her twin bed. Clapping her hands the lights went out and shadows took the room.

"Tomorrow, I'll tell John what happened." She muttered to herself then fell asleep.
