Cloud wanted to beat the crap out of Zack and Genesis. Maybe even Angeal, too. This was NOT how he envisioned his first and only visit with SEPHIROTH! He was wanting to scream in terror at the malevolent glare that the General was giving Cloud and say screw being in SOLDIER. But he promised his mom and Tifa that he would be seen in the paper when he got into the program.

"Cadet Strife, why are you dressed in this manner?" The silver-haired General's voice was ice cold and could freeze Zack's ass to the floor. The hapless cadet tried to say something, but it seems that the cold tone froze his vocal cords too.

The kinky nun outfit was not something he wanted his cadets and officers to be wearing. It would mock the entire army and Sephiroth took great pains to whip it into shape. Now, seeing one of the more promising cadets wearing the ridiculous costume only made him seethe in anger.

"Um..um...Zack...he...um...uh.." Oh, Zack made him wear it. Now that Sephiroth thought about it, why would Cloud, who was so determined to get into SOLDIER that he would kill anyone in his way if he had the gall to do it, be wearing a nun outfit? Zack must have told him that it was necessary to don the thing to be one step closer to being in SOLDIER.

"Zack Fair told you to wear it in order to be closer to entering SOLDIER?" The blond spiky haired teen nodded and refused to look at the General. So, if that is how it's going to be, then he will simply have to fix it. Cloud was not paying attention when Sephiroth stood up at and walked around the monstrous-sized desk to stand in front of the cadet. Cloud suddenly noticed two black boots near his stockinged feet and looked up quickly. Sephiroth had a smirk on his face and that smirk was making Cloud shiver...but not in fear like he thought. No, it was something else. Lust? Maybe, but Cloud couldn't tell cuz he was looking into Sephiroth's emerald green eyes. Eyes that were saying that he was going to do something he didn't know if he wanted.

"I think you might need help getting out of that costume. Mind if I help you?" Cloud could only utter an 'EEP!' as Sephiroth picked Cloud up, bridal-style, to his bedroom.

"So, Zack, you think Sephiroth took the bait and forgot to look at your lousy report?" Zack looked up from his card hand and nodded at Genesis. The three that Cloud wanted to kill were playing poker.

"I doubt he will forget, though. You merely bought yourself some time to either finish that report or get a head start in running and screaming. Take your pick." Angeal, the ever so pessimistic one. Genesis chuckled at Zack's nagged expression and laid a two of a kind.

"Zack, Angeal? No contest?" Zack laid a three of a kind and Angeal revealed a flush. Genesis cursed his older friend as the man took the gil.

"I don't think so." said a familiar voice as a royal flush appeared out of nowhere. Sephiroth looked at the three as they looked at the hand in shock. Cloud took out the cards from his own deck of cards and smiled, the love-bites visible if you stood up to see.

"I believe you have three hundred laps to run, Zack and you two have a training session to supervise." said the General as he took all the gil and escorted Cloud to his office. Zack was stunned into stupidly staring at Seph's retreating backside as the other two put the cards away and went to supervise those sessions.

"I told you that you only bought some time. Have a nice time running." and Angeal laughed as Zack started to cuss the General's twisted sense of humor out.

Well, I don't know where that came from, but I do hope you enjoy it while I'll try to build up some motivation to start typing more chaps to some of my other fics. 'Til then, ENJOY:)
