Yo!

Chapter two is now revised!

'Thoughts'

Maybe wanting to be in Soldier wasn´t that good of an idea...
Right now Sora was standing at the train station, looking at the cadets which were standing in a row, saluting to the four new SOLDIER recruits.
Four Turks standing there too, looking at them. One with black hair, bound into a pony, another one with a bald head and sunglasses, beside him, a guy with red spiky hair also bound in a low ponytail.
Beside him stood a girl with crimson red hair.
The worst part was probably the General.

You know, THE General, Sephiroth.

'I mean, why did he have to come here? We were just 3rd class SOLDIERs...

He´s one of the most famous SOLDIERs, beside Angeal and Genesis, two other 1st classes.

And I heard that a little while ago another guy got into 1st class, but only if the rumors are true.'

Back to present.

As soon as Sephiroth stopped exterminating them, he stepped forward.

"My name is Sephiroth. Since Genesis is on a mission and can´t show you newcomers around, it´ll be my job to do that."

His voice was sharp like a razor but at the same time like velvet…it had something that drew you toward him.

"So you are the strongest one this year….at least that´s what the examiners said." He said, looking at Sora.

"Hmmm, you sure don´t look like it." He said smiling.

From the corner of her eye she saw Yosuke looking at her, fear written all over his face, it seems like he was afraid that she would do something that would get them all suspended.

Sora smiled back :" Looks aren´t everything, sir." she responded.

She saw annoyance passing through his eyes but as quick as it came it left.

"Well I´m sure you´re right, but you do have feminine features." He said, voice as sweet as sugar.

She could feel the anger rising inside of her, trying to control it, she clenched her fists and said

"Being a bit feminine is a good thing, but I´m sure you would even look good without your feminine hair, sir."

His eyebrows were twitching in anger and Sora bit her lip trying to hold back a grin but it seems like she didn´t manage to because he shot her an ice cold glare.

"You´re probably right, but I´m sure if you would´ve worn a dress, I wouldn´t have thought that you were a guy."

That was it. She snapped. Her fist shot forward, trying to punch him. Well of course she didn´t hit him. He caught her fist with one hand and took another step forward.

"My, my, aren´t you a feisty little boy. Well I´m sure you wouldn´t mind taking this out on one of the training courts, or are you scarred?"

"Why would I be scarred of you, Sir? After all, I´m not the one insulting newcomers on their first day." she said, still smiling.

Another glare.

"Well then, what are we waiting for? You four follow me and you guys" he said looking at the cadets and Turks.

" You can either go back to your quarters or come with us, do as you please."

He walked away, Sora right behind him, Yosuke and the others didn´t take long and were soon right behind her, the Cadets and Turks looked at her as if she was some kind of suicidal.

"Oi, are you serious?" she heard Yosuke whisper behind her.

"He´s the General. A 1st class…are you sure you wanna fight him?

"Sure as hell I am. He insults me and thinks he can do anything just 'cause he´s a 1st class, yeah right, he´s not any better than we are."

She hissed through clenched teeth while glaring at his back.

Sora turned her head a bit to see if anyone of the cadets/Turks followed them.

Two. Two Turks. The one with the red hair and the bald one. The redhead was grinning at her like crazy while the other one seemed bored.

Deciding to ignore them she turned back around to return to stare daggers into Sephiroths back again. He led them through the ShinRa building to the training grounds behind it.

Only the SOLDIER unit and the Turks were allowed to go there.

It was a training ground outside, not like the ones with the simulator. There were no stones nor wood in the field, only grass and earth.

Sora stopped, the others stopping right behind her, but Sephiroth walked straight on till he was about a 30 feet away from her. He turned around and faced her.

"You know, it´s not to late to give up now." He said with a mocking tone.

Sora clenched her fists together again and glared at him. " I could say the same thing to you, now if you don´t mind I would like to get started, your majesty."

She practically spat the last words at him.

His eyes twitching in anger he got into his stance and drew his sword. It was about twice as big as him and thin, really thin. For a second Sora wondered if it could even take an attack from her, but she pushed the thought away as fast as it came.

It was his sword after all.

She took her sword off her back and got into her stance.

He moved two of his fingers over the blade while whispering and Sora did the same.

What they were doing is called Shield. That means that their swords got dull, so they wouldn´t hurt each other while sparring.

They got into their stances again and suddenly, he leapt forward, his sword clashing onto hers as she blocked. Sora grit her teeth at the sheer strength and almost lost her balance, but before she could he was already behind her, trying to hit her in her side. Sora jumped and landed on the tip of his sword, making a summersault as soon as her feet touched the blade. She landed on her feet looking up right away, seeing a flash of surprise pass his face before it turned into a vicious smile.

Before Sora could even blink he was in front of her, ramming the back of his sword into her stomach. She tumbled back a bit before she felt her head connect with the floor. He pinned her…he fuckin´ pinned her.

She felt the dizziness leaving her slowly and was brought back completely as he rammed his fuckin' blade into the ground, only millimeters beside her head.

Sora looked up and sighted.

" Yeah, you´ve won. Now could you get off me?"

"Why should I?"

She shoot him a glare and then smiled:"What now? You gonna sexual harass the new guy?" she said in a mocking tone.

"What if I am?" He asked leaning closer.

"My, My, is the General a pedophile?"

"Maybe I am, but aren´t you already of age?" He leaned closer again until their faces were only inches apart.

"To bad."

Sora slammed her knee into his gut. His eyes widened and he rolled over, starring right at her with an evil look. She ignored it and got up, brushing off the dusk of her pants.

Sora looked at the others, Yosuke and Takiyo looked slightly shocked, Voulk had no readable expression. The redhead still grinned at her and even the bald one had a smile tug on his lips.

she got her sword and secured it on her back. Sora looked to Sephiroth, seeing him checking his sword and then undoing the spell, she would do that later.

"Where are the shower rooms?"

He turned and looked at her, with a raised eyebrow.

"What? I´m dirty and my hair´s covered in mud."

"Follow me." He simply stated before turning and walking to a building nearby.

She looked back, sending the others a little smile before turning and following Sephiroth.

The building looked really shabby and run down from the outside, but inside, she never saw a bath this beautiful.

The room was big and completely white, a big pool filled with hot and steamy water in the middle of it, right beside it was a big window. You could see the cliff and forests beneath it, like it was some kind of painting. Sephiroth led her along the pool, into another room which was filled with lockers.

He tossed Sora a key and said:" This is yours, don´t loose it." It had the number 118 on it and she went to look for it.

"It´s in the middle."

She found and unlocked the locker, seeing another uniform inside.

"It´s the alternate uniform. The showers are right ahead through the white door." He said, then turning around and walking out of the room to the "big pool room".

Sora looked after him. After she was sure he was far enough, she began to undress. First the shoulder guards, then the boots. After that came the tight T-Shirt and the bandage beneath it on her chest. I felt relief wash over her as it was gone. It was really uncomfortable to have this bandage on.

She sighted, tapping on tip toes to the shower room, looking inside. The room was big, had at least 20 shower heads in a row. The floor and wall were made out of blue marble, the marble on the floor lighter than the marble on the walls but still, it matched.

Sora let the bandage fall to the floor and took of her pants and underwear. She stepped into the room and turned on the 3rd one from left, which means one couldn´t see her until they walked through the door.

She turned the shower on and let herself relax. Her muscles unclenching, and her arms relaxing. She didn´t hear the footsteps doming up from the locker room and she also didn´t hear the door opening. Sora only became aware of the presence as he began to speak:" Here is a towel for…..what the hell!"

'SHIT! SHIT, SHIT, SHIT, SHIT, SHIT!'
