"Did you call me sir?" You asked your boss
"Yes Sophie" He replied, he looked up from his paper work and smiled at you. "I have a job for you to do"
He stood up holding a file and walked up to you, it was still hard to believe that out of all those experienced older, prettier women, he had chosen you to be his new assistant, the great Shinra. President of the electricity company who created SOLDIER, another great program widely known among young people.
"I want you to take this to director Lazard, its regarding the 2nd class SOLDIER Zack's training, just drop it off"
"Okay" you took the file and began to leave "Oh Sophie another thing" You turned around quickly "Tell Sephiroth that the director wishes to see him"
Instantly you felt dumb, you did hear this name time and time again, he was an idol in many places. But you never got to ever meet or see the man....the famous 1st class SOLDIER
"How do I know where to find him?" You asked
"You can't miss him, tall with long silver hair" And with that you left the office and went to the front reception to see where this Sephiroth might be at the moment. The other women at the desk replied.
"He might be in training room .level. 49"
"Okay thank you" This was going to be long, you had to walk out of the building walk across the hall way and into the other connected building and climb the stairs, since the elevator was broken. All the way to the top where the training room was, there was some noise in there so you decided to wait until whoever it was that was in there was done with business.
It was a long wait until finally three men emerged, the first two you knew, Angeal and Genesis, but Genesis staggered out with a bleeding shoulder
"Genesis what happened?" You tried to help but he pushed you away
"I'm fine" he simply said as he walked off. You didn't even bother to ask Angeal, but then another came out, it was a tall man, the brightest greenish blue feminine eyes, a tall muscular frame, lips that seemed so soft and gentle, and wearing SOLDIER uniform...and of course...long silver hair. He looked so angelic holding that long magnificent sword in his hand and his beautiful eyes seemed to be so mysterious. You realized you were starring and looked down and fixed your glasses up properly.
"Um, Sephiroth?" You asked shyly. He stood still and looked directly at you. It was obviously him, the great Sephiroth 1st class SOLDIER.
"Lazard wishes to see you" It came out as a mere whisper rather than a notice, you instantly felt rather pathetic. You quickly began walking to the director's office feeling him right behind you, his steps were very silent and you wondered if he was still actually there.
You both walked into the director's office, he seemed very busy.
"Shinra wanted me to give you these"
"Aaaah, okay than" He took the files.
"You wanted to see me?" you glanced up at him only to meet his emotionless gaze, and for one moment he store at you before he turned to the director.
"Yes I did, just one moment" He handed back the files
"Tell him that they are all signed and finalized, I'll need to talk to Angeal about this one though"
"Okay" You organized them and turned to leave, and as you passed him again you couldn't help but look at his stern yet smooth face.
He kept his eyes fixed to the director, but as you looked ahead you caught him stealing one little glance at you. Your heart skipped a beat as you closed the door and you smiled to yourself…your thoughts already strayed back to Sephiroth, could a high profile, well know, strong man like him ever look at somebody as skinny, helpless and nerdy as you? Probably not, you didn't believe the old saying 'love at first sight' but you seemed a bit more open to the idea now.
~~~3 days later~~~
Things were going well, but all those days you prayed that Shinra would give you another message to bring over to him, but there were none at all.
You still clung onto hope but as the assistant of the biggest electric company your time slot was constantly full, it was hard to have downtime other than Sunday.
"Oh Gosh I'm going to be so late!"
You ran all the way down the hall placing your hand over your butt to keep your skirt from flying to high, just one more sharp turn until you could make the flight. The President was waiting at Midgar and expected you to join him later.... and you accidentally slept in.
"Please hold the helicopter down for a few more seconds Reno" You prayed and hoped, but things just got worse as you turned that sharp turn.
BANG!
You landed face first into something, possibly not a wall, it was too soft. Your world was suddenly blurry and you gently touched your face....
"Great, my glasses are gone…"
You guessed that you ran into the wall and began feeling around the floor for your glasses
"This isn't my day...and it only just started" you muttered sulkily. You didn't find it, and you were at the brink of tears.
"Here"
That soft smooth mysterious voice suddenly rang in your ears.
A strong pair of arms lifted you up and held you close to a hard, solid frame. Your heart began racing like crazy when realizing who you had run into. Only one person had that voice and that body you could feel.
"It would be better for you to get contacts" It was Sephiroth
He gently placed your glasses on himself and brushed away a stray strand of hair with so much tenderness, that it scared you half to death
"Oh my Gosh I'm so sorry!" You were in too much of a shock and ran out of his arms quickly and headed for the top floor, chanting to yourself over and over. "I am such a chicken; Shinra is going to so kill me"
You burst through the heavy door that led to the helicopter pad, a loud noise and a sudden gush of wind nearly pushed you back.
"Sophie what took you so long, you're lucky I held up!" Reno shouted over the noise of the helicopter propellers spinning
"Thanks Reno I owe you!" you replied while opening the passanger door
"Where is he?" he asked expectantly
"Where is who?" You replied, odd, you thought it was just you.
There was a sudden turn in events
Reno suddenly gave you a funny look "Sephiroth, he needs to go to Nibelheim…we are just dropping him off"
"…….uh….." You became slightly nervous, when exactly did you get the order to tell HIM that he has a flight waiting.
"I think your were supposed to tell him" he said "Exactly when?!" you retorted, nearly knocking the grin off his face
And as if on Que he suddenly came through the door and straight for both of you, his expression was slightly frustrated, or bored?
"I almost thought you left without me, I was going to kill you if you did, haha" His voice made your heart flutter unexpectedly, his voice was unbelievably smooth and fluent and so full of...secrets. But a grin crossed his face and shook his head.
"That was my fault" You let it barely as a whisper. Reno lifted his eye brow at you; he was a good friend and knew your behavior well, too well.
"Well then I guess I better get the chopper started" he said and walked to the driver seat. That left you alone with him, that was bad, what were you supposed to say?
"We're leaving you at Nibelheim" You blurted out the obvious and climbed into the chopper, he followed you without a word. Silently you sat in the furthest corner forward which was directly behind the drivers seat and gave a good side view of the front window and a side view of Reno's still smirking at you. While he sat on the other end staring out at the window of the door as Rude had appeared from the passenger seat and shut it close.
"Nice and tight back there Sophie?" Rude turned from his passenger seat up front "Yeah I'm fine" You replied slightly edgy, you were very much a girl, you didn't like heights very much especially in helicopters, you didn't like insects either or messy things. But you wished you were stronger than you were sometimes. Instead you let yourself get some rest during the some-what long flight all the way to Midgar.
Your eyes short open at the sudden 'bang' sounds, and in an instant everything went from peaceful to disastrous.
The chopper started to shake and move violently throwing you across the floor and hitting your head against the side of the helicopter "Reno what the hell is going on?!" You screamed at the top of your lungs over the noisy machine. "We are being e-fing attacked, can't you hear!?" he yelled in reply. It was followed by the stutter of the engine and metallic cracking sound from all sides.
"I was asleep cause of your slow driving!" You retorted while scrambling back to your seat
"Hey shut up, I can easily open that door and throw you -ARGH!" There was a small splatter of blood that hit your left chack, Reno got shot right on the chest but, he was still alive. "Reno are you okay?!" He groaned in pain as the blood continued to pour "Rude take over!" he said.
"That's what I'm doing!" He flipped some switches and tried to push Reno aside so he could reach the handle, you tried to help pull him as he groaned in more pain. But then a strong pair of hands pulled him completely from the seat and lied him down on the floor securely and with ease, you glanced at his eyes for one moment, he glanced back but the situation was getting worse. More bullets suddenly came through all direction from the front window and door window.
"What's going on in there?!" You ducked to miss a bullet to the head. Rude replied "I don't know, from one second to another we are being attacked by unknowns, maybe bandits and I don't think this helicopter is going to stand against this for much longer. Just stay away from the window!"
The helicopter suddenly went on full speed trying to avoid more bullets, but one suddenly burst through the door window shattering it with a defening screach sending shard of glass flying through the air, Sephiroth turned his head to the side in such a perfect angle that the glass completely missed him. You on the other hand weren't so graceful…or lucky. The glass continued its path and as you raised your arms to bloke it off the glass fell but hitting you right on the cheek below your eyes.
"Argh damn it!"
You clutched the badly cut area trying to stop the bleeding. But hands pulled your own from your face, his worried and stressed out expression examined your face closely.
"It's not so deep...but are you okay?" Your heart raced once more as his face was so close to your face, and you nodded.
But as you silently hoped that Rude would get out of the war zone, those prayers remained unanswered.
"Holy..."
Rude store tensely out the window directly at something, you both looked at the direction with sudden wide eyes, a small rocket launcher was heading directly towards the chopper and hitting in...4 seconds. "Shit!" Reno completed the sentence still holding his wound. As a reflex Sephiroth suddenly grabbed and held you tightly against him and threw himself with you onto the floor. Your small body clung to his and burying your head into his chest, you saw nothing but heard everything. The sudden explosion sound, the smell of fire and a sudden gush of wind…and then an explosion.
Your world suddenly went dark.
"Sophie? Sophie...Sophie wake up!" You groaned when hearing somebody call your name. "What…happened?"Groaning in reply as you got up, Reno was still alive thankfully, you were lying against something soft "We crashed"
"Crashed?!" You nearly yelled out, he covered your mouth with his hand
"Be quiet or they will hear you" He whispered frantically
"Who?" you mumbled softly against his hand
Slowly withdrawing his hand he looked around and tried to be as silent as possible "Some rebel group attacked us, and they're still looking for us, Sephiroth went to finish them off" Rude came into the clearly wiping his jacket from the sticks and leaves, you realized that you had crashed into a very dense kind of forest "We found 3, he killed them but I think there may be more" Reno nodded in reply.
"We're going to have to be careful…come on" He picked you up gently trying not to bump bruises
"We have to be very quiet….Rude, where did Sephiroth go?" Rude turned and said, "That's why I came back, he simply disappeared"
You felt slightly scared at the fact that you might even be ambushed right now.
It had been half an hour and there was still no sign of him, you kept a good look out but there was no hope left.
"Any reception?" Reno asked as Rude held his phone in the air, angling it towards different places
"No…still far from Midgar and Nibelheim" Reno continued to carry you through the dense patch of forest, and then something went snap.
Instantly Reno and Rude froze like statues, you couldn't even hear their breathing, Rude got out his electro rod looking ready. Reno slowly let you down and getting out his slowly. Something else went snap, it sounded like a branch breaking in two.
"Sophie…when I tell you to…run like hell okay?" Your heart rate increased "what do you mean?" you mouthed.
He didn't have time to explain because three more men suddenly jumped out from the dense shrubs wielding spears and gun blades from the bushed area around everyone.
"Run Sophie!" Reno and Rude both lunged and the two attackers, the third one spotted and ran after you, you quickly told your feet to run like the wind and that's what you did. Although you never ran often due to your life style, when you did you were like a cheetah, fast and agile but it was difficult in a skirt and small hells. Pausing you quickly threw your shoes off and continued to run.
"Oh God please stop following me!" you cried
Tears streamed down your face as you heard the attacker getting closer until his hands suddenly grabbed your wrist, yanking so hard that you fell over, and you let out a blood curling scream, scarring birds out of the trees. You were sure the whole forest heard you.
"No please let me go!"
He didn't listen, you couldn't see his face, but it was clear he was dressed in Soldier uniform that was stolen not too long ago. But he began placing his hands on you to keep you pinned to the ground as you continued to struggle for dear life. He used his other hand to push up your skirt higher
"No! Please don't do this!"
You were not a violent person but you began using your nails to claw at his face and arms trying to free yourself from his grip, he still kept his strong grip on you, and you grabbed a rock and smashed his face with it and his lip split
"B*tch!" He suddenly got a large knife out ready to stab you
"NO!"
Suddenly he was thrown against the tree so hard that it nearly snapped, and a blur suddenly impaled him right through the chest and the man stopped moving.
You were so scared that you couldn't even look up at your unknown rescuer but instead you curled up in a ball and sobbed, your bruises hurt a lot, the man had made them much worse.
"Are you okay?" The voice was suddenly so close to you, but you scoffed "what does it look like?"
But then he suddenly grabbed and lifted you up
"Hey!?"
"I have to bring you back before they get worried" You realized it was Sephiroth...again
"Where were you this last half hour?" You looked at him with worried eyes, which said too much
"I was following them, half of the group ran but I cut them off and…gave them a taste of their own medicine…they should have thought, a woman like you was on board, could have been seriously hurt" He looked at you deeply in the eye, you wished you fainted right there and then to spare your little heart its life.
"I'm not worth…rescuing" you mumbled, he frowned at you
"To me…you're worth it" You gave a silent gasp and your heart beat stuttered, you could tell by his eyes that he was not joking, he was serious.
You couldn't resist the urge to just wrap your arms around his neck and press your lips against his...would his lips feel just as soft as they seem to be?...better?…literally you couldn't. The next thing you knew you felt his tongue forcing its way deep in your mouth leaving no area unexplored, he held you closer to his body and you instinctivly clung to him grabbing his hair to keep him right where he was
"Mmm" you lightly moaned. You were right, his lips were so much softer, supple than they appeared, pleasent and caring as they moved roughly against your lips. Slowly your grip on him tightened, your body pressed even harder forcing Sephiroth to withdraw slightly to breath before returning to your lips.
You didnt know how long it had been, but while it lasted it was beautiful. Then after a moment or two he parted from you, and kissed you once, twice and a third time. His lips twitched to give you a slightly exhausted smile.
"I had been waiting to do that for a while now" he murmured against your lips, you gasped slightly, he had felt the spark too on that day you saw him? "You felt...the same?" you murmured
"who wouldnt? except, I wont let anybody else have you..."
Your heart stuttered and you didnt know what to think. You were grateful...and happy just to be there securly against him. It was not much to ask for.
"Thank you, for saving me" he kissed your forehead slightly, now feeling more confident
"My pleasure" He continued to carry you through the forest heading towards the wrecked helicopter, then when the trees broke where Reno and Rude, slightly messy and covered with twigs and sticky leaves waited for you, you smiled feeling a surge of new found happiness...
