Chapter 4
As he awoke the next morning, Sephiroth could feel the day yesterday catching up to him. He opened his eyes to see what time it was. But instead of seeing the clock, his eyes awoke to deep, turquoise eyes that were staring holes into him.
"'Mornin' sleepy head! Did you sleep well last night? I did, except for the fact that Rude snored all night."
Sephiroth hated morning people…he begrudged them. He shoved the optimistic boy off his bed and walked over to the window.
Wow, I can't believe it. I survived Zack for one day without actually killing him…
"I think I'm gonna make breakfast!!" Zack skipped off to the kitchen, thinking about the items he needed to make eggs… (AN: duh, poor Zack. He's one taco short of a combo) On his way, Zack peeked into Reno and Rude's room to wake them.
"SEPHIROTHHHH!!! COME QUICK!!! RENO ISN"T WAKING UP!!!!"
Sephiroth dashed over to Reno's bed. Zack was in a panic, Rude was dazedly running over to all the commotion.
"WHAT'S WRONG WITH HIM?"
Sephiroth shrugged and nudged Reno. He noticed that Reno was still breathing, so he decided to wake him up like Hojo work him up. He grabbed Reno by the hair and yanked him out of bed and stood him up. He collapsed to the ground and laid there still, and motionless, and by now Zack was on the ground having a heart attack. Sephiroth looked expressionless at the immobile body.
"Well, he's done in; let's go eat."
"I'm for it," said Rude.
"YOU CAN'T JUST LEAVE HIM LYING ON THE FLOOR!!!"
"I can, and I will."
Zack, being the person he is, started whining. Sephiroth's face brightened as he smacked Zack upside the head.
"Fine, I'll put him back in his bed."
Sephiroth picked Reno up and walked over to the bed. But along the way, Reno's head kept knocking against the door ways.
"BE CAREFUL SEPHIROTH!! YOUR'RE GOING TO KILL HIM!"
"As if he isn't already dead…calm down Zack, your making me a nervous wreak."
Zack fainted at the thought of Reno lying dead on the floor. Rude picked Zack up off the floor and placed him in the closet. Rude smiled at his work and went to find Sephiroth.
"What are we going to do about Reno's classes? We can't exactly say that he woke up dead." Rude said with a quizzical expression.
"There is only one way…"
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
An hour later, Sephiroth, Rude, Zack and Reno were in class, well Reno's body was there at least.
"Do you think anyone will notice?" Rude said softly
"Not unless he tips over." Sephiroth replied.
Reno was sitting in his desk, but the problem was, he kept sinking down into his chair. Reno wasn't exactly the most attentive person either so it really didn't matter. They put sunglasses on his face in hopes of the teacher not noticing, it didn't work.
"Reno, wake up and take those glasses off your face."
Silence…
"Reno, did you not hear me? Wake up and take those glasses off your face."
Still no reply…
"You damned slacker, when I say something, you reply!"
General Arden walked over to Reno's desk and smacked him on the head which caused him to fall to the floor.
"What's wrong with him? Get him to the infirmary. You boys better have a good explanation."
"Sir yes Sir!!" The three dashed off to take care of Reno.
"What do you think he will do to us?" Zack asked innocently
"He might hand us over to the disciplinary committee. Who knows, it isn't our fault. We don't even know what the heck happened to him."
"Rude, don't be so naïve. He only asked for an explanation, and that is what we are going to give him."
They dropped Reno off and trudged back to the classroom where General Arden was waiting.
"You better have a damn good explanation for what just happened here cadets." General Arden's eyes looked as if fire was going to come out of them.
"Uhh…ummm…sir? Well, we woke u-uup this morning and uh-." Zack was cut off by Sephiroth
"Actually what happened was we were training and I knocked Reno out by accident and he has been out for quite a while, I am sorry for not taking care of it right away, I won't do it again."
"You don't have access to be training without a pass and those passes are only given out to SOLDIERS, nice try. Now you WILL be punished for lying and hiding what happened to Reno. I am going to send you to the disciplinary committee and they will decide your punishment."
"Great, thanks a lot Sephiroth," Zack said with sarcasm in his voice, "Now what are we going to do? I hope this won't be on my permanent record."
"Shut up, you didn't even use your brain. You kept stuttering on your words and.."
"I WAS THINKING OF WHAT TO SAY. I WANTED HIM TO SEE I WAS SCARED! GET OFF MY CASE!!!"
"It really worked, good job." Rude added in.
"Well, don't get mad at me, Sephiroth was the one who got us into more trouble."
"Yeah, but he'll also be the one to get us out of it." Rude said looking at Sephiroth. When he did, he saw nothing, Sephiroth was gone!
What happened to Sephy??? I guess you have to wait till next chapter. Please review and tell me what you think!
