Chapter 4: Sleep Is Best...For now

Seph awoke with a start as she heard someone yell, until she realised it was herself yelling.

"Whoa there! Don't get outta bed, yet," came a woman's voice and Seph looked to where the voice came from. There stood Tifa and Aerith.

"It wasn't a dream?" Seph said, "I was just hoping I'd fallen and bumped my head."

"No. It wasn't a dream, but... you did bump your head," Tifa responded.

"Hunh?"

"When you fell no one was close enough to catch you and you hit your head," Tifa tried explaining.

"Whatever," Seph mumbled before drifting back into oblivion.

Shasa was having a discussion with the men when Tifa walked out, she turned quickly when she noticed Tifa, a worried expression on her face.

"Don't worry she woke for a couple minutes, talked a little to me, and went back to sleep," Tifa said.

"Does that mean she'll be alright? When can I see her?," Shasa asked in rapid succession.

"Yeah, when can we see her?" Kael said, coming up behind her.

"Aerith is watching her now, and she said sleep is best for her right now. She did have a pretty big lump on her head," Tifa replied, pointedly.

Shasa and Kael let out a relieved sigh in unison. Suddenly they heard a cell phone ringing and turned around to find out where it was coming from. All the men started looking around in there pockets and Zack was the one who flipped out his. He walked to a corner of the room talking lowly, then flipped it closed and walked back to the group of men.

"That was Angeal. He said we'd best move out soon, they want us back at Shinra first thing in the morning," He said to Cloud and Sephiroth. Everyone picked up their things and started for the doors until Zack felt a hand on his arm and a female voice say "Wait!" as he turned back a little.

"Can we come with you?" said Shasa, as Zack meet her pleading green gaze.

"Yes, please?" Kael added.

"But don't you want to stay with your people?" Zack asked, confused by their plea.

"Our peop....Wait! I could have swore I already told you we didn't know how we got here," Shasa said.

"You did. But Shasa,...he's a man... ocassionally you need to rattle their brains for them to remember anything," Kael responded.

"But what about your sister, she still needs to heal..."

"Wait you should not be out of bed yet," came a startled Aerith's voice, just a fraction of a second before Seph burst into the room, staring in wide-eyed suspicion at everthing around her. She was staggering around, white bandage around her head, before she fell to her knees, got back up, and staggered toward her sister grasping at Shasa's shoulders.

"Where is he? Which way'd he go? Where is that stinky verm...?" Seph said, right before she passed out and Shasa caught her.

"Kael hand me the Doe-In-Heat," Shasa said.

"What for?"

"Seph never did like the smell of it."

Kael handed Shasa a small brown bottle with a little liquid in it. "This is the next best thing to smelling salts," Shasa said as she waved it around under Seph's nose. Seph instantly came awake and moved her face away from the bottle.

"Get that shit outta my face," Seph said, with a disgusted look on her face.

"Hey, that stuff works great she's back to her old self!" Kael exclaimed.

"Of course I am! Just tell Spikey and Spikey Jr. to quit staring at me with those freaky, big, snakey eyes," Seph said, pointing at Zack and Cloud.

"Oh... and tell Mr. Sexy-Grump-Ass he doesn't need to hide his fangs, we all know he's a bloodsucker," She added, as Kael and Shasa gave each other confused looks.

"So can we come with... or are you just gonna leave three defenceless girls here to deal with a world they know nothing about," Shasa asked, as she looked up at Zack.

"Well, we obviously can't leave you here, unless we were really cruel so go hop in the truck," Aerith answered for him.

"Thanks," The two who weren't out of it said in unison as they dragged the one who was out the door, suspended by her arms on their shoulders, feet dragging. Sephiroth gave Aerith and Zack a cool glare and walked out.

"Thanks for saving me,Aerith," Zack said, with a half- smile.

"No problem, I could see you wanted to tell them yes, but with the way Sephiroth was glaring at you I see why you didn't," Aerith replied," He's a cold man, I wonder if he'll ever let someone in to warm him?" Aerith said the last thoughtfully as she watched the girls and Sephiroth out the doors. Shasa and Sephiroth were having a glaring contest, while Kael helped Seph into the back of the truck. She turned back and got a brief glance of Zack's unguarded gaze, before he masked it.

"By the way, just for the record... I think those girls are anything but defenceless," Cloud said to Zack as as Aerith walked out the door with a knowing smile on her face. Yuffie came running past Aerith yelling 'Shotgun!' and the rest of the group came out the doors.

"Barrett you driving?" Zack asked.

"Sure... Why not?"

"I'll ride in the middle," Cid said.

Cloud and Sephiroth sat closest to the cab of the 'funny-looking produce truck' as Seph had called it. Zack and Aerith sat next to Sephiroth, with Shasa bringing up the end of the bench-seat. On the other side Tifa sat down next to Cloud and left a gap between her and Kael with Seph on the end of this bench-seat. Vincent came walking up to the truck, looked at the empty spot, and sat down between Tifa and Kael when Kael gave him the whole 'I'll-only-bite-if-you-bite-me' line. The truck's engine grumbled to life and Barrett reved it a couple times before he started down the road. No body talked, they were all to tired or too anti-social to want to. Seph laid her head on Kael's shoulder and fell right asleep, Kael laid her head on Seph's, and Shasa leaned back against the wooden slats of the truck bed.
