I do not own Final Fantasy VII.

A.N.: Ok. I have tried to write other pov., but I hate every single one! There is also the problem of incorporating Angeal and Genesis. I would love some suggestions. If anyone wants to help me on this story, I'm going to challenge you. If you could write a chapter in Zack's or Sephiroth's pov, or bring Angeal and Genesis into the story, then your chapter might be in my story! Send all chapters to .

Chapter 9

I slowly opened my eyes and I felt my jaw drop. All around me was a thick layer of ice that went from the floor to the ceiling. I looked at my hands to find that they were glowing a pale blue. Did I do this? The ice was so thick that all I could see were shadows of the people on the other side. How… They weren't moving. The Turks weren't moving. My ears went flat as I waited. Sephiroth, Zack. What happened to them? Did I freeze them too? I crouched down in the corner.

I had blocked myself in an ice cage. How did I do that? I don't have materia. I looked at the ice as I heard a boiling sound. I saw a red spot coming closer from the left side of my prison. I pressed myself as far into the wall as some of the ice melted away. Zack's head popped out of the hole. "Damn, Spike. How did you do that?" He crawled out to me. "All the Turks and Dr. Creepy are frozen solid." I blinked at him.

"Oh! Seph! Come on in. He's okay." The General somehow appeared out of the ice. "What happened?" I asked Sephiroth. "You made Turk-sicles." Sephiroth glared at Zack. "It appears that you have cast an ice spell without any materia." My eyes widened. "How did I do that?" Before the General could answer, there was a loud crack coming from the ice. "Perhaps we should discuss this in my office. You will be safe there." I nodded and followed him out of the ice.

Zack and Sephiroth led me to the General's office. There was a black leather chair behind a mahogany desk. In front of the desk were two more black leather chairs, and over to the side, was a black leather loveseat. Sephiroth went behind the desk as Zack sprawled out on the loveseat. I hung by the closed door until Zack reached over and yanked me into his lap. I felt my face heat up a little. "Well. What happens now Seph? They know where he is, and once those idiots get thawed out."

Sephiroth ran a hand through that long silver hair of his, and I felt that heat in my chest again. "One of us will have to be with him at all times until I can figure out how to end this." I lowered my ears and my tail dropped a little at the sound of his voice. Am I that much of a burden? I wanted to curl in on myself. I always have been nothing but a burden. A light smack to the back of my head pulled me out of my thoughts. "I can see you putting yourself down, Spike. Knock it off. You need to stop that." I looked back at Zack and nodded.

"Cloud, I have no idea how you managed you cast that spell. It is something I have never heard of before." Sephiroth rubbed his temples. "At least this won't get any worse. Hojo has several…deeds he doesn't want anyone to know of. We're just fortunate that this is one of his personal experiments." Zack patted my ears. "That's great! Tseng will be the only one to find out about this." I tried to look over my shoulder. "How is that a good thing, Zack? He's a Turk." Zack just grinned at me. I hate how he does that. "Exactly. Turks are built of secrets and lies. They will keep this quite."

I glanced over at Sephiroth. "Zackary is right. The Turks will keep this as discreet as possible." I nodded. "Hey! Why do you believe Seph over me?" I could hear the puppy pout in his voice. I smiled a little. "It's because you're you." I felt Zack huff, but he let it drop. I looked at Sephiroth again. "D-did I hurt either of you?" Sephiroth looked at me before he gave me a small smirk. "While your attack was impressive, you did not damage us." I let out a sigh. I doubt that I could do any damage to Zack let alone Sephiroth, but still…I was glad they were safe.

Zack shifted a little. "I know this might not be the best time to say this, but how long will it be before the broken window in your room is fixed?" I blinked and lowered my ears. I had forgotten about that. "Don't worry about, Spike. That window breaks more times than I can count. Genesis, a Turk, or I usually break it. So it was bound to happen sooner or later." At this point…it was hard to be surprised at anything that Zack did.

"It will be repaired by the time we have finished working." "Work?! But Seph!" The General just gave Zack a glare. "Fine, but I don't think I'll get much done with Spike here." I sneered at him. "I'll just stay on this loveseat. I think I will take a nap while you work. If you get distracted, it won't be my fault." I shoved Zack off the end of my seat and curled up. Zack's head popped up. "Now that was just mean." He ruffled my hair and went to Sephiroth's desk. So I couldn't be alone anymore? I don't think I mind that. It would be nice to stay with the General and Zack all day. Perhaps I can give Sephiroth the gift I made him…if I ever get the nerve to do it. I hope he likes it.

I still can't believe he has done this much for me. Now that I look back on it, I don't think I could ever repay him. There is that warm feeling again. It shows up every time I think about the General. He's strong, amazing, intelligent, and handsome. WHAT?! When did I start thinking about him like that? I look back at him as he looks over some papers in his hands. I felt my face heat up and that warm feeling grow even stronger. I quickly turn my eyes to the floor before he looks at me.

I don't believe this. I…I think I love him.
