The Collector
Chapter 7
I HATE WRITERS BLOCK! (Goes nuts and throws a random chair at non-reviewers). The review lot for this fic has dried up substantially. Where I was getting around 4 reviews per chapter I'm getting only 1 now (thank you Mystic). However, there are 5 people who have this on alert and ten people who have me on alert. I should probably have more reviews than this. The maximum I have for any story is 47 and that had 17 chapters.
Anyway, rant over. I don't know why I wrote that, I should be in a good mood today.
Disclaimer: I own nothing but the weird and twisted plot.

Things were becoming a bit more than a co-incidence for Tifa. Ever since she delivered Sephiroth to her she was seeing less and less of the ninja. She used to pop round every few days to annoy Cloud, play with the kids (although this was something Tifa wasn't as keen on, although they knew a large variety of curse words thanks to Cid and Barret, there were some things she didn't want to have to explain to Marlene and Denzel for at least 8 years).
That and no-one had seen Reno for weeks apart from Yuffie. And that was it. Apart from her word the red-head had disappeared without a trace, even the Turks were starting to become concerned.
Vincent was last seen with Yuffie, and now he was gone. All these disappearing acts have one common link. The proclaimed 'White Rose of Wutai'.
She wouldn't have, would she? I mean even I have to admit that naked Sephiroth made me drool a bit slightly but she wouldn't go collecting people to fill her fan-girlish desires. Tifa thought to herself. Sephiroth was one thing, he deserved it, and in someway, so did Reno. Hell, the Turk probably likes it. But Vincent?
---
An evil cackle was heard in Yuffie's apartment. It was a fan girl's dream. Reno, Sephiroth and Vincent Valentine, all bound up and forced to live through her every sexual fantasy.
But it wasn't enough, there was one person missing. Just one person and it would all be complete.
Just one.
Cloud Strife.
But how to get him was the question. There was no way Tifa was going to hand him over like she did to Sephiroth, she was way too protective of her personal man-candy. However, with the right bait he could be lured out into the open, he would be fully alert but it should be simple enough to knock him out with something.
Bait hmm… I think I know just what to use. She thought, a smirk gracing her lips.

'Umm is this a bad time?' Said a voice inside of Sephiroth's head. Although Yuffie had two other slaves to molest, he had borne the brunt of her vicious assaults and her favourite to torture. Dried blood trails criss-crossed his body and his head was ringing, he was starting to hear voices. 'Seph, it's me Zack! Wake up!'
"Za…Zack?" He coughed out.
'Shit, you really are in a mess this time. And I got a feeling this is only gonna get worse.'
"Wha…?"
'Shh… do you want "her" to know you're awake? Listen, I can read your mind and I'm getting a mixture of sheer hotness and just psychotic women.'
Why are you contacting me? Sephiroth thought. He must be hallucinating from all the pain.
'Look, some nasty shit was in the Lifestream, it got out, and took you with it, without completing the "Zack and Aeris guide to villain rehabilitation". Yeah, that whole thing didn't work to well, did it?' Zack commented
Rehabilitation?
'What, she knock out all your memories of time in the life stream? Okay Sephiroth, you may not believe me when I say this, but the people who tortured you were not Tifa Lockheart and Yuffie Kisa… whatever. The point is that they were both possessed by what escaped from the life stream and it turned them both into sexy sadists.' Zack tried to explain.
I get the sadist part, but the sexy?
'Did you not SEE those breasts on Tifa? I mean, you and me have made our fare share of scores but damn. She was in D's and miniskirts back in Niebleheim.'
'ZACK FAIR!' called a new voice, distinctly feminine and an angry one at that.
'Shit, I'm in the metaphorical dog-house for that one aren't I.' And with that, Zack's presence faded away.
Aeris? You're here too? Sephiroth thought to himself, movement was heard outside of his 'storage' area. Making him nervous to the possibility that Yuffie required him again.
'Yes Sephiroth I am. And I'm very disappointed in you.' The mental image Sephiroth got was of Aeris tapping her foot impatiently with her arms folded.
What? Why?
'Well this is partially your fault…'
Okay. Enough of this, I'm chained up in a closet by a hyperactive dominatrix who is going around collecting people and this is MY fault? These two spirits had been conversing with him for a fair time and he still hadn't figured out what was going on.
'Well if you hadn't gone after Tifa then this whole thing could have been avoided.'
What?
'Yuffie is possessed by a fan girl Sephiroth, a fan girl!'
What?! Sephiroth unintentionally shuddered. Fan-girls were fine up to a point where they start hunting you down and making Yaoi fan-fictions.
'Originally she was a Sephiroth fan girl from Nieblehem, but when Jenova influenced you she survived to become one of Hojo's experiments. She was injected with Jenova cells much like Cloud and she died in the whirlwind maze at north crater. However, her obsession about you kind of combined with what remained of Jenova's will and she became a parasitic being. When she escaped she was only in her primary phase with Tifa. If she didn't contact you it wouldn't develop and would be sent back into the life stream. Are you keeping up with this?' Aeris asked, trying to see if Sephiroth was still conscious enough to pay attention.
Vaguely. Sephiroth replied.
'Anyway, she became more vicious in Tifa, her natural hatred of what you did to her and her loved ones all those years ago… the fan girl fed on that hatred and it made it stronger. Every manipulation, every punch, every whip. It got stronger. However Cloud was a limiting factor to it. So it implanted the idea into Tifa's head that you would be better off with Yuffie. The fan-parasite transferred to her, who didn't have a limiting factor and it grew stronger, enough to try and collect other men who could also be considered "cream worthy". Its only a matter of time before every male in the world is collected by her.'
Shit. How do I stop it? Sephiroth asked
'Whoa Seph, what gave you the idea you could stop it? We were just filling ya in.' Zack had apparently returned.
Thanks a lot Zack, you bastard.
'I can still hear you thoughts.'
Bastard! Sephiroth screamed in his head. There was a time and a place for Zack to be cocky around him. This was neither. But if he couldn't stop the fan-parasite. Who could?

Well that was a long one. A fair bit of explanation to Tifa and Yuffie's actions. Please review. Sorry for the little rant earlier.
