Chapter: two

Cloud stood in front of the General's office, his breathing had picked up, and his heart raced. General Sephiroth, the name sent shivers down his spine. When he first heard that name six years ago when the war started, six years ago, he thought it was one of the strangest names ever. But once he started to follow the 'Silver Demon' Cloud was mesmerize. Sephiroth had become his role model. The General was the reason for him joining the ShinRa army training program when he was old enough.

Cloud kept up to date with all the happenings in the war. He clipped all the articles he could find and saved them in a scrapbook, he recorded all the news cast on the war. Anything about the war, Cloud had.

And once he came of age he when he was fifteen, he immediately jumped on the chance to join SOLDIER. His mother was against it at first, telling him to think this through, asking him to wait another year or so, to be one hundred percent sure this is what he wanted. When he assured her this is what he truly wanted she relented and signed all the forms.

So for the past three years Cloud trained his hard, trying to build up to become SOLDIER material. But with his slight frame, it was hard, at first. Everyone had teased him when he first arrived, about his petite figure, and girlish looks, and of course his hair, that seemed to defy gravity and never responded to anything. It refused to lie flat, and Cloud learned to deal with that at a young age. So coming here it didn't bother him.

But now, Cloud wielded his sword with strength that outweighed his classmates, with power that shouldn't be possible for his body size. Many thought that he was taking some type of drug or something, and had him tested numerous times. But in all actuality it was just his determination to become a SOLDIER that propelled him further and farther than the other cadets. But now, it seemed like it wouldn't be possible. He had no idea what was going to happen but he had a feeling that it would be bad.

What made it even worse was that he was so close to his goal. He had just gone to the lab for his first mako treatment two weeks ago. His body had adjusted to it fine, there was no sever pain that they tell you your body will have after its first injection. In fact, for the past two weeks after his regular injection, he would stay and get tests run, because apparently his body could handle a lot more than the other cadets. So each time they up the dose to see what his body could deal with. It was going pretty well, everything checked out with his body, he had no problems what-so-ever, directing it. So he had assumed that he was pretty much done with being a cadet, once he passed his exams, and Cloud was feeling very confident about them. All with the exception of one: navigation.

To put it simply, Cloud sucked when it came to navigation. He failed miserably last field mission he had. Not only did he not make it to the check point, he went the exact opposite. They spent eight hours just trying to find him. He couldn't read the damned compass. What really got him was the fact that he never needed a compass when he lived in Nibelheim, and he never got lost. That was the only test he was worried about passing, if he didn't he would have to go through his third year of training all over again, and Cloud refused to do that. But now he wouldn't even get the chance to improve. Blue eyes looked down at the floor dejected and suppressed a sigh.

On the way over, he tried to mentally prepare himself, and he thought he had, but apparently not. Cloud took a deep breath trying to get his heart to a somewhat normal rhythm.

Raising his hand he knocked on the General's door.

Sephiroth closed the file that he had been looking over. In bold letters the name 'Strife, Cloud' was printed on the front of the tan file folder. It contained Strife's medical records, along with his test scores and a picture that was taken upon admittance to the ShinRa training program.

Sephiroth stared at the picture of the blonde, with his unusual hair, and electric blue eyes that seemed to draw you in. Unconsciously the General licked his lips.

When his second-in-command lieutenant Zackary Fair, first told him about the cadet, he wasn't impressed. There had been plenty outstanding students before but in the end they always fell below the line. They couldn't deal with the pressure, or didn't make it through the mako treatments. So the General didn't bother to follow any cadet until the made it out of the program, and into the Third Class, and sometimes not even then.

That was until a year ago. Zack had finally persuaded him to come watch his class. Zack had always complained about how horrible the new trainees were, that ShinRa was now letting anybody join if they looked like SOLDIER material, and Sephiroth was inclined to agree, some of the cadets he sees around the complex were just complete simpletons, couldn't tell the difference from their ass to their elbow. When he entered the viewing room, he understood why Zack was always whining about the group. There was nothing impressive about any of them, especially the little blonde in the corner. He was the scrawniest thing he ever saw, who in truth looked like a mix between a woman and a chocobo. That's why it surprised him when Zack paired everyone up, and he selected the petite choco-looking boy. Not only did he choice surprise him, the blonde choice in astonished him. He opted for a buster sword that was twice his size, and wider then its wielder. The scene that followed shocked Sephiroth most of all.

Once the cadet had gotten into his fighting stance-which the silver demon quickly evaluated, finding only a few things wrong-the dance began.

Zack rushed forward, making a strike that the blonde easily blocked and countered with a move of his own, in one fluid movement. They picked up in tempo; lunging, twirling, and spinning in on themselves and all of it graceful and elegant.

There were a few close calls with between them both. One when the cadet lost his footing, and Zack took that opening and advanced, going for what would have been a well placed strike to the neck, but in a nice display of flexibility the blonde sunk into the splits and raised his sword, blocking Zack's attack. The second one amazed him. The blue eyed boy took a running start and from the looks of it going for the obvious kill, but at the last moment made a jump and while flipping in the air over Zack made a downward slashing attack, catching off guard, causing him to lose his footing.

Perspiration dripped from their foreheads, with their breathing labored. His second-in-command raised his sword, a smirk on his face. The cadet smiled and gave a wink in answer.

Zack raised his foot leaning forward- then the bell rang. Zack frowned while the blue eyed choco-boy's face bloomed into a smile. Their mouths moved but due to being in the viewing room, above, he couldn't hear what was being said between the two. They placed their swords back in the cubbies laughing and talking. The blonde shook his head rapidly smiling all the while, giving Zack a playful push, which Zack quickly turned into having the petite blonde in a head lock. Deeming he had seen enough Sephiroth turned and walked away.

For over a year the General had been keeping tabs on him; following up on his med records and his exams always the top of his class, except in navigation, the kid was a complete dunce, but with some work he could improve immensely. By him keeping his eye on Strife, that's was how found out about his days in the lab, for the past few weeks. He had alerts that monitored everything in the system that had to do with Cloud Strife. According to the alert he had been recruited to lab duty. Since he couldn't walk into the lab and demand what was going on-well he could but not without a valid reason-without Hojo breathing down his neck like he did when he was a child. Sephiroth suppressed a shudder. He didn't very much like to think about his youth, to many memories he didn't want to relive. And walking into the lab where he had spent most of his time as a child-strapped to the lab table-didn't sound like a very pleasant idea.

But wanted to know why this cadet would be picked for lab duty, but there had to be a reason. Knowing Hojo, he knew there was something else about this boy that attracted his interests, because Hojo never did anything without a reason. Sephiroth wanted to know what it was, and he was going to find out.

A/N: Soo what do you think 0_o? Comments and reviews! I might not post more the one chapter in a week. Too much stress and I don't need anyy more, soo I'll get to them maybe once a week or something like that. Once again this all depends on myy imagination.
