His green eyes stared at me like a cat would their prey. He said nothing, absolutely nothing. He was ghostly pale and had luscious silver hair. But when his skin hit the sunlight, I couldn't help but to look at his perfect abdominals. His arms were perfectly toned, as was the rest of his body. Sephiroth... a Chaos warrior. You could tell by one glance that he was the ultimate soldier. Confident, strong, independent. He was so perfect. A fallen angel. That's what he was. I had to try and stop myself from biting my lip and decided to talk to him more.
"Are you ok?" I asked, trying not to be sexy about it.
"Yeah, I'm fine. Just thinking." He replied. My heart stopped. His voice was a dark and haunted symphony of torcher and lust.
"Wow." I uttered under my breath and closed my eyes.
"Lightning? Lightning?" He asked. I smiled as his voice caressed my thoughts. The way he said my name was enchanting.
I opened my eyes to find him a little freaked out by me. I gave him an apologetic smile and he seemed to ease up a bit. I sighed with relief.
"So, what are you doing here?" I asked him whilst circling him.
"Getting to know Tidus and Cloud better. What about you?" Sephiroth asked in return.
"Chaperoning Yuna and Tifa. Chaos warriors are known to be quite tricky characters." I replied. He chuckled slightly and my pulse raced.
"Yeah, Kefka's the one you have to watch out for. He'll pinch anything, including little books." Sephiroth muttered.
"Little books?" I asked. He pulled out a little bound book under a lock and key.
"A diary!" I exclaimed quietly. I dug out my little book and held it up.
"Really? A diary? What are the gods thinking?" Sephiroth asked with a confused expression.
"To record memories that may be lost due to resurrection." I replied.
"That's smart." He commented. I laughed a little.
"Do you care about this war?" I asked.
"If Chaos doesn't care, neither do we. We got the manikins to do the work for us because we couldn't be bothered." Sephiroth replied. He put his coat back on and called the two boys over.
"I'll see you around?" Sephiroth asked.
"Maybe." I replied. Tidus and Cloud trailed the angel back to their base, at least that what I was guessing.
Yuna and Tifa ran up to me and squealed.
"Oh! Tidus kisses like a dream!" Yuna exclaimed whilst holding her hands to her heart and biting her lip.
"Cloud doesn't like me." Tifa said sadly and shook her head.
"You know what they say, there's plenty of chocobos in the wild." Yuna replied with an optimistic smile. I stared into the distance, watching the clouds move from one place to another slowly. I sighed as I thought about the possibility of seeing Sephiroth again. What if the catalyst to my crystal was loving Sephiroth? What if..? It's a question that everyone thinks of every now and again.
"You know how some people say that a man can be the death of you?" Tifa asked.
"Yeah." Yuna replied.
"I think Light has found her poison!" Tifa mused. I turned to see their cheeky grins take over their faces.
I stayed quiet. I didn't want to make the situation worse. I brought the other two girls back to Sanctuary. I took out a pen and my diary and wrote my latest entry.
Dear Diary,
I think I've found my match. I think I'm in love with the enemy. I think that Yuna and Tifa are right. I have a poison and his name is Sephiroth. His green eyes pierce my barriers and they crumble to my feet. By the time they're up again, he has charmed me into day dreaming about the possibility of us being together. He's so hot, like a summer's day. He's confident, independent, strong, graceful, intelligent... I could just think about him all day if this weren't a war. I would love to see him again. The thrill his voice gives me is intoxicating. I must sign off, the others are coming.
Lightning.
I put my diary away and stood to greet my allies.
"We ready? I'm pumped to go!" Vaan exclaimed and placed his hands behind his head. I shook my head at the excited teen.
"Always ready to get into trouble..." I commented. He gave me a cheeky grin. Laguna pulled out a piece of paper and waved it in my face.
"I finally found a map." He chirped.
"How long have you had that?" I asked with my arms folded. He chuckled and shrugged his shoulders. I rolled my eyes at the directionless idiot. Kain stayed very quiet, that usually happens but it's awkward being around him now. Especially since he tried to kiss me. Yuna held her staff close to her chest and nodded.
"Let's go!" she said. They started to wander off and I began to wonder where we were going. Tifa turned to face me.
"We're trying to trash Chaos' lair, remember?" Tifa asked. Trashing Chaos' lair? Never remembered hearing that. I followed the others to the lair, in the Land of Discord.
"Ok. Before we go too far to come back, have we got everything?" Laguna asked.
"Your map?" Yuna laughed.
"Got it!" Laguna replied.
"Spray paint?" Laguna asked.
"Purple and pink, right here!" Tifa replied, holding up the two cans.
"Stink bombs?" Tifa asked.
"Five stink grenades." Yuna replied and held up one of them.
"Kain, you got the glitter?" Vaan asked. Kain nodded.
"Have you remembered the baseball bat?" Tifa asked. Vaan brought it out and pretended that a ball was headed his way.
"Course!" He replied, swinging the bat over his shoulder.
"Light, have you remembered the fake puke?" Kain asked.
"What?" I replied.
"Light!" Laguna exclaimed.
"I don't think she remembers." Tifa said. I shrugged my shoulders.
"Lucky I have it." Vaan said and held up the bag of slush. Everyone looked a little green. To be honest, I almost gagged.
"Let's go!" Laguna exclaimed and we headed to the Land of Discord.
After travelling through many battles with manikins, we arrived. Tifa tossed me the pink spray paint. She had the purple already opened. Vaan tossed the vomit towards Kain. Kain also brought out the massive bag of glitter. Vaan pulled out the baseball bat and swung it over his shoulders like Squall does his gunblade. Laguna took some of the stink bombs from Yuna and she held the tag on one of them. This felt wrong. I dropped the can and walked away.
"Light? What are you doing?" Laguna asked.
"It doesn't feel right doing this. Imagine what they would do to us if we went through with it." I replied and turned away. Kain slammed the can into my hand.
Kain turned away and sprinkled glitter everywhere. He poured the vomit onto Chaos' empty throne. Vaan used the bat to break some of the surroundings. Tifa sprayed the words 'Suck this, idiots' on the ground. Laguna and Yuna pulled the tags off and threw the bombs.
"Breaking stuff is fun!" Vaan said and smashed a glass vase. Tifa sprayed a heart on the back of someone's tent. Yuna and Laguna helped Kain sprinkle glitter everywhere. I looked at their colourful painting and then I looked at the unused can.
"Real warriors don't fight like this." I said with a sour tone.
"Don't be so moody Light! Have fun!" Vaan exclaimed and knocked down a tent. A diary fell out and he picked it up. He flicked through the pages and laughed.
"This is rich! Dear diary, Kefka is dreamy. His kisses are revolting, but I would do anything for him. It's like he's Romeo and I'm his Juliet. Gotta go, my baby's waiting. Kuja." Vaan recited. The other four joined in Vaan's hysterical laughter. I threw the can off the edge and left the other five to do their vandalism.
