Yeah, another one -_- But, I was inspired while typing Hojo's Torture. No, it doesn't involve the three OCs, but this story involves three other OCs.

I do hope you enjoy ^.^

Disclaimer (the only one you're getting, by the way): I do not own anything that is familiar to Final Fantasy.

There will be characters that I like in here, so don't complain if a character that shouldn't be there is there; it is a FANFIC, meaning I can use my imagination to how I please with this -_-

Actually, scratch that and pretend I never typed it up :)

Well, enjoy! (again...)

Whispers of the Dead

Chapter One

I sighed and splashed some water in my face. I was so nervous it wasn't even funny. Well, it was funny to my two other friends, but I knew that they were as nervous as I was at getting a job. I gently dabbed the water from my face and stepped out of the small bathroom. My two best friends, Kat and Valdina, were sitting on the couch bored and nervous as hell.

"Well let's go." I said, making them get up and grab their purses in turn. I turned around, looking around at the apartment, memorizing everything as it was, before leaving and flicking off the light. "So, where is it we are going again?" I asked. Valdina sighed, and gave me a look. "Well, you can't expect me to memorize everything! All I know is that we're all going for a job interview!"

"Okay, okay, calm down, Alex, don't get your panties in a twist!" Kat snapped at me. I growled, but didn't retort. "We're going to the Shinra building so we can all hopefully get a job as secretary for the First Class Soldiers or something." I shrugged and got in the passenger seat.

"So, which one of you is driving?"

"I will." Valdina volunteered immediately. "I do not want to be scared out of my witts because of Kat's driving." She glared pointedly at Kat, who did the same as Valdina, but Kat let her slide into the front anyways.

"You guys ruin all of my fun!" She whined. I scoffed and rolled my eyes at her.

"Kat, just get in the damn car, or I'll leave you behind." Valdina said in a scary calm voice. Kat huffed and slid into the back seat, plopping her bag next to her. She crossed her arms and waited for the inevitable.

I grinned and decided to do what everyone thought was idiotic, but I did it anyways. "Off to Wonderland we go!" Valdina chuckled, but kept her eyes on the road.

Kat grinned and rolled her eyes. "Sometimes, Alex, sometimes..." I furrowed my eyebrows.

"What?" She laughed and shook her head. "Come on, tell me, Kat!" And so began another long bout of who could annoy who.

The three soldiers in the elevator were silent, hoping to the Goddess that today wasn't going to be as they thought it would be. The First Class Soldier clad in red was outwardly relaxed, but extremely nervous on the inside, seeing how as this would be the first time that he would ever be getting a secretary. The one with long silver hair and golden eyes was, to say the least, pissed, since his secretary quit. And, last but not least, the black-haired First Class Soldier leaned against one of the three walls of the elevator, awaiting to pick a new secretary and move on with his life. He had to fire his secretary.

He learned to never get a fan-girl as his secretary.

"So, how are we going to choose them?" The red one asked, finally looking up from the worn red leather book that he was reading. The silver-haired one sighed.

"We interview them, then send the ones that we approve of a message tonight, and they work for us from then on." He shrugged. "Simple as that."

"But we have to consider carefully about who we have to choose, especially with all of the fans knowing about this one way or another. Sephiroth, remember what happened to make your secretary quit?" The Soldier with black hair asked the silver-haired one, now known as Sephiroth. Sephiroth groaned from the memory.

"Don't remind me, Angeal." Angeal chuckled but stopped as the doors dinged, signalling their imminent doom. As soon as the doors slid opened, their ears were assaulted with squeals. They all had to fight just to go through the wave of women and get to the interrogation room.

The red-head sighed. "So this is what you two go through every time you need a new secretary." The other two groaned and plopped down into their seat, getting ready for the long day ahead of them.

After waiting for close to two hours, I was officially bored. I leaned back and sighed. The squeals coming from all of the women in the room were getting on my nerves. Also, I had coffee this morning, which isn't a good thing, and me getting bored plus getting annoyed plus coffee equals blood shed is going to happen soon.

"Neither of you object to me killing everyone in here, would you?" I asked. The other two gave me weary looks, but glared at me as the question finally went through their heads.

"We need this job, Alex; killing them, as glad as I would be for them to be gone, wouldn't get us the job." I smirked at Valdina's comment, but then pouted. "And yes, at the moment, I would mind. So no killing today."

I pouted and slouched in my seat. I huffed. "Fine, but a girl can dream, right?" They both backed away from me a bit.

"Alex, did you have coffee this morning?" Kat asked me, holding her purse up as a type of shield. Yeah, like that's going to do much for her.

"Yeah. So?" I asked. They immediately scooted as far as the couch would allow them away from. Okay, so coffee makes me a little bit more sadistic than I originally am half the time; doesn't mean that they have to do that. "That just hurts right here guys." I had a hand covering where my heart should be, fainting hurt. They rolled their eyes and huffed, but still kept as far away from me as they could.

Sephiroth looked at the next three files, glad to find that they were actually somewhat decent people. "Hey, Genesis, call these three in." He handed the files to Genesis, who was grateful for the normal looking women. He went out and called out, "Alex Madder, Kat Pander, and Valdina Lunar; will you please come in?" Genesis finally decided to look up and was surprised to see that the three lone women in the back were getting up and heading his way.

They all wore standard black slacks and white button ups, but that was all that was similar between them. There was one with long white hair and mismatched blue and green eyes. She wore a beret on her and was a wearing a tight tux. The on the left had long black hair and bright electric green eyes. She wore a black trenchcoat, but she looked normal. The middle one, the leader it seemed, had on a black half jacket that was unzipped. Her long red hair flowed out behind her, and her blue eyes seemed to travel over everything before landing on him.

He went back inside, waiting for the women to come in, a bit unnerved at what he had seen.

"They coming or what?" Angeal asked, irritated that Genesis didn't come back in with the three women.

"You have to give them a few; they do have to go through a whole hoard of fangirls." Genesis replied, plopping in the seat to the left of Sephiroth behind the mahogany desk.

"ALRIGHT, THAT'S IT!" Everyone, including Sephiroth, jumped a little at the unexpected shout. "EITHER YOU ALL MOVE IT, OR I'LL RUN YOU ALL THROUGH WITH A WEAPON! And trust me, I can make a weapon out of a leaf." There was total silence now. It unnerved the three men, only now noticing that there was chatter going on throughout the entire two hours they were there.

The door opened to reveal the three women that Genesis observed earlier, only the red-head seemed a bit more ticked. The other two followed cautiously. The red-head plopped in front of Sephiroth, who was in the middle. The white-haired one sat down in front of Angeal while the black-haired one sat in front of him. They all eyed each other uncertaintly.

Then the red-head sighed. "I'm sorry about earlier if you heard that." Genesis was shocked. That was her that yelled? Her voice was so small now. "Just that those women were blocking our way." She then chuckled nervously. "I think I scared them all off, though." Angeal narrowed his eyes at her, before getting up to check if what she said was true. He swung the door wide open to reveal...

That the waiting room was completely empty. He sighed in relief, glad that they didn't have to interview anymore people.

"Sorry." All three of them muttered. Sephiroth sighed, but didn't pay any mind to it and started the interview.

"Why do you want this job?" He asked, going into the same boring routine as always.

The white-haired one scoffed. "We need to pay our bills and survive, too, you know."

"Don't be so rude, Kat." The black-haired one scolded. Kat rolled her mismatched eyes and leaned back, crossing her arms.

Sephiroth raised an eyebrow but continued on anyways. "You do realize that you might be organizing papers and may be doing paper work, correct?"

"And?" The one in the middle responded. "I have to eat and have a place to live, and I'm not stooping as low as to a slut, but if doing paperwork brings in the money, I think we can manage."

'Such interesting answers...' All three men thought.

After about thirty minutes, Angeal stood up and escorted them out the door. "Well, we would send word to you if you do get the job." He smiled at them politely. "Have a good day, ladies." They returned the same greeting and walked outside. Angeal shut the door and slid into a seat.

"I vote for those ladies." Angeal said once he was sure that they were alone. Genesis agreed immediately.

"I would rather not have a crazy fan as a secretary of mine." Sephiroth nodded and stood.

"So it's decided then?" He asked, eyeing the both of them, even though he thought the same as them in those aspects. He then got out his cell and texted Lazard their decisions. "Well, let's hope we didn't make a mistake then."

Kat, Valdina, and I were sitting in a cafe discussing the Soldiers that we met a while ago. "Well, I don't mind working with them as long as I get the money and I get to listen to music." Valdina said. We agreed, sipping the smoothies that we ordered.

I then smirked. "So, you think those girls that I scared away will come back again?" Kat snorted and started to laugh.

"I don't they can come within a mile of you for a while now." She smirked. "Despite us forbidding you from coffee, you somehow grab a cup and scare away most of the contestants on the same day as our job interviews. But," Kat frowned. "It also might be a key part in us getting a job or not."

I shrugged. "I have feeling that we're going to get the job anyways." At that moment, all three of our phones buzzed on the table. We instantly snatched them off the table and looked at the text message on our screens. I smirked. "Oh, I am good." We all grinned and laughed.

"How about we go to Seventh Heaven for some celebration?" We all laughed and left to go to our favorite bar in the world. I locked my hands behind my head and looked up to the sky, wondering how we would fare in this new job of ours. I grinned and didn't dwell on it anymore.

I'm thinking that it isn't going to be too bad, by the look of things.

Okay, I know I shouldn't, but I so wanted to make this for a while now, and now the first chapter is finished XD

I do hope you guys liked it :)

Review please!
