Moka stared with disbelief at the horror that burned before her. Bodies littered the school grounds like garbage, and blood flowed from them and formed a large river that seemed to fuel the raging inferno that covered the school. She stood before the entrance of the once great Yokai Academy, only to find it in ruins, with the scene of a massacre splattered all over it. She hesitated as she pushed through the large doors.
Inside, the catastrophe was worse. Dismembered bodies and severed heads were all rounded up into bloody piles, with fire burning them fiercely. She could hear terrible screaming that made her blood freeze, only to have it suddenly be cut off. As she walked through the halls, the bodies began to increase in capacity.
To her left and right, the remains of students and teachers seemed to be breathing and gasping for help, even if they were horribly mutilated and tortured. As the voices grew louder and louder, Moka began to scream and run. She sprinted through the halls like it was some kind of maze, dodging and jumping over hands that reached for her desperately.
As she pushed through the final door at the end of the hallway, blood poured under it like a flood, washing around her shoes and going up to her ankles. Her gaze was fixed on a single figure of the room that was surrounded the dead bodies of Mizore, Kurumu, and Yukari. The figure was her beloved Sephiroth.
"S...Seph...?" She asked, taking a step forward, "Is...is that you...?" His back was turned to her, and she could hear a terrible laughter emit from him. He turned around to face her, grinning with devil-like teeth.
"Just one left..." He said in a much deeper, mature voice that she didn't recognize. He began to walk towards her, the evil grin still glued onto his face.
Moka's eyes widened in fear and terror, and found herself backing up. She made contact with a wall and began to panic as the blood began to increase up to her knees. Sephiroth approached her still, and a large, long bladed sword was suddenly sprung from his hand, covered in blood. His form began to change before her, His hair growing longer, his height increasing, and his school uniform turning into a leather armored suit. And before she could see anymore, the sword rushed at her, stabbing her straight into her heart. She tried to scream, but nothing came out as the blackness overtook her.
Moka immediately woke up screaming, clinging her sheets onto her chest and tears emerged from her eyes. She immediately touched her body where Sephiroth had stabbed the sword into her, and felt a wave of relief wash over her. It was just a dream. She fell back onto her bed, sweating and panting wildly. The morning sun had beamed through her large window, and gave her the strength to come back to her senses.
"Are you okay?" The Rosario asked her as it vibrated lightly with the voice, "Just a nightmare?"
"Y-Yeah..." Moka sighed, massaging her temples lightly. It was just a dream, but it had felt so real...the pain and the blood...
Moka got out of her bed and stood up, feeling a little uneasy. She then rushed into her bathroom before examining herself in the mirror.
"Just a dream...right?"

Sephiroth woke up very relaxed, yet annoyed and crabby. He had awoken to the sounds of cars driving by and horns honking, followed by the yells of children and the obnoxious laughing of pedestrian teenaged girls. He didn't think that he would be able to hear all the annoyances of human life from the bedroom, but he was unfortunately proven wrong. He sat up, unable to sleep any longer. It was ten in the morning, and the day had just started.
The bedroom was nice and roomy, and was cool when Sephiroth came in the night before. The bed was queen sized, with very soft cushions and blankets that he had a hard time getting used to. When he was a SOLDIER, he would usually travel around on Shinra business, and often didn't have a very comfortable place to sleep, and he would be always on alert.
He sighed when he remembered that he only had one change of clothes, and knew that the headmaster had intended him to head out into the public to buy some new ones. He found money shoved into his pockets mysteriously, and found that food had appeared in the fridge also. He knew that he had to be alone in the house, and the fact that someone had moved around undetected was very uncomfortable to him. With a frown, he went into the bathroom and hopped into the shower.
When he emerged wrapped in a towel and surrounded by steam, he looked at his reflection in the mirror above the sink. His appearance hadn't changed since his form had been sealed, aside from the fact that his eyes looked as though they shined more. He still had his handsome and muscle toned form, and had a few battle scars here and there. He brushed his wet silver hair from his eyes and turned around, wondering if he could finally see the seal on his back.
He never really looked at it before since it was invisible to him at the time, and was a little baffled at its intricate design. The seal wasn't too large, but was black with intertwining swirls and lines. It was surrounded by a thick circle, and had two black angel wings coming out from its sides. The inner part of it was still a bit faded, and he guessed that when the entire seal was filled...
There was a loud series of knocks on the door, and Sephiroth grew annoyed once more. He quickly wiped his hair down with a towel, slipped on a pair of pants and went downstairs. He quickly opened up the door, and searched around, finding nothing.
"Um...excuse me..." A small, weak voice called below. The former SOLDIER glanced down to see a small girl stare up at him with big brown eyes and appeared to be clutching onto a clipboard with shaky hands.
"Yes?" Sephiroth asked, not caring if he appeared intimidating or scary. He was interrupted, and he hated being interrupted. Especially by humans.
"Um...W-well..." the little girl had started muttering and stuttering, and she suddenly took off his doorstep without warning. Sephiroth watched her dash down the street and scratched his head in curiosity and was very unimpressed with the human child. He didn't care much for the eyes that were observing him and walked back into the house, shutting the door tightly behind him.
He didn't take more then eight steps before the knocking began again. Sephiroth was a little more then pissed, and then opened the door, eyeing the girl same girl that had run away from him. She seemed to be a little more then ten years old, with long black hair and strange red eyes. She was clutching a clipboard to her chest and looked very frightened.
"What?" Sephiroth asked demandingly, folding his arms with his hard glare on her. She took a deep breath and held up a small sheet of paper. Sephiroth watched her for a bit and then snatched up the paper. He glanced it over and sighed lightly.
"Cookies?..." He shook his head, "No thanks." He gave the girl back the sheet and slammed the door shut. Humans still disgusted him. Evil if they were little children. But what frustrated him was how familiar she looked...
The knocks suddenly started up again, and he cursed and ignored it, hoping she would go away as he trotted into the kitchen. He tried to find a place in his memory where he had seen someone like her...but he couldn't place a finger on who it was. Shrugging, he grabbed a bottle of water out from the fridge, sat at the kitchen table and thought about his situation.
He was alone in the human world. He knew nobody, and he knew nothing of this human world. His contact with the little girl was the only time he had contacted a human in this universe, and he was still unimpressed and annoyed. He knew he couldn't stay in the house forever, but that girl was still knocking, and he was getting more irritated by the second. He finally decided to wait for her to stop, because she couldn't go on knocking forever, and he had great patience.
Ten minuets later, it continued.
Twenty minuets later, it contiuned.
Thirty minuets.
Forty Minuets.
Sephiroth opened the door abruptly and the girl shrieked, falling flat on her face right in his doorway. He apparently had no patience in his new form.
"What the hell is wrong with you?" He scoffed, watching the girl standup with scared eyes. She was shaking nervously and was obviously very very frightened.
"I won't buy any damn cookies and I won't tolerate your irritating presence!" He said, getting more angry and showing more of an angry emotion that he had ever shown to anyone. Ever.
"I..." the girl started saying, grabbing the sheet of cookies once again, "I...Pl..." Sephiroth sighed, deciding it was becoming hopeless.
"Fine..." He said, snatching the sheet from her hand and looking over the sheet, "Okay, how do I buy some?" The girl almost immediately lightened up and opened her mouth to speak.
"W-well...you can just show me what you want and I'll..." She said, her voice still a little quivering. Sephiroth pointed at a random picture on the sheet and she immediately marked something down on her clipboard before smiling, bowing her thanks, and running out his door. Sephiroth sighed again, slamming it shut and headed upstairs for his shirt.

Mizore stared out the window of her large room, watching the snow bombard the freezing and icy ground. She lightly touched the glass, feeling comforted by the cold sensation that touched her fingers. She needed that to compensate the burning she felt to see Sephiroth. She didn't know where Sephiroth's home was in the human world, and tracking him down would prove difficult and nearly impossible. She sighed, her cold breathe staining the glass of the window.
She felt the burning sensation because of a frightening nightmare she had. It was about Sephiroth, but at the same time someone strange and overly horrifying was in it also. They had a single black wing from their shoulder, and Mizore began to think of the myths and stories that she had been told about the legendary One Winged Angel. She felt that something terrible could happen to her stalked one...and that is the last thing she ever wanted. She clenched her fist tightly and sat down in a soft chair. She kept remembering the terrible dream. The one filled with blood, fire, screams, and death. The one with the laughing Sephiroth.

The former SOLDIER found himself standing before the large shopping center in the middle of the city, with seemingly endless amounts of people going in and leaving. He walked reluctantly towards the large automatic doors, feeling nauseous. He guessed that the headmaster was hoping this was going to happen, and knowing that his enemy was feeling satisfaction made him furious. It made him even more annoyed when he had to ask for directions. Most of the time, he was answered with stares and blushes.
Sephiroth knew he had always been attractive, and was told so often and would often be annoyed by it. Even in the other universe, he had many female partners and fellow female soldiers who wanted to get close to him. Sephiroth never had those kinds of feelings or temptations and usually stayed away from such unimportant matters. Even in his diminished form, he was stunning to gaze upon, and he still felt no temptation for anything.
Sephiroth ignored all the whispering and staring when he trudged into the building and found himself standing before an absolute huge room with massive escalators. The only thing he could hear was people talking and the music playing over the intercoms. He almost confused the gigantic place as Shinra headquarters.
"Humans and their material needs..." Sephiroth spat, moving through the huge shopping center, keeping an eye out for any clothes store. He wanted to get out quickly, and rushed into what seemed to be a normal clothes shop.
"Whoa...check out that guy..." A girl said to her friends as he walked by, "He looks like a movie star..."
"Who? Oh...wow..." Her friend replied before smirking, "Let's try to have some fun with him!" Sephiroth overheard this conversation and grew very uncomfortable as he walked out of their view. His confusion was almost overwhelming as he stood before a large rack of clothes, not knowing what to do.
"Hey, you look a little lost there." A voice chuckled behind he. He turned around to see a girl grinning as she leaned against a single metal pillar in the middle of the room. She had familiar shiny black hair, and was wearing a tank top with a short skirt. He cocked his eyebrow, trying to recognize who she was.
"Don't remember me?" She laughed, "I ran you over in my bike a few weeks ago..." Sephiroth winced. That's where that sudden pain in his kidney came from.
"Oh." He said, turning back to the clothes in front of him.
"Hey!" She exclaimed, walking up to him, "You look like you need some help there! You deserve it since I kinda rammed into you..."
"I don't need any help." Sephiroth replied, feeling very wary of her. Something about her made him not trust her.
"Oh come on..." She sighed, placing her hands on her hips, "The headmaster would want me to help..." Sephiroth instantly spun around to face her, his eyes sharp and violent. She took a few steps back in shock. She wasn't expecting the sudden killing intent.
"Who are you exactly?" Sephiroth asked carefully.
"Someone the headmaster sent to look after you." She smiled, "Besides, we don't want you causing another human genocide, do we?"

Kurumu sat on her bed, clutching her pillow tightly and frightfully. She had a terrible nightmare about Yokai Academy, and of all the students being massacred like rats. The school was ablaze as though it was the underworld, and in the middle of it...was Sephiroth. She tried to reach for him, but a strange black wing batted her away. She woke up screaming and crying, and her mother spent hours trying to calm her down. When Kurumu finally found that she had relaxed, she was unwilling to head back to sleep. The dream seemed...real. Too real for her.
"I have to see him..." She whispered to herself, grabbing her knees and bringing them to her chest.
00000
"I never caused a human genocide." Sephiroth growled at the strange girl who sat before him. She had offered to buy him lunch and that she would tell him everything she knew.
"Well you tried." She laughed, "That's what the information we gathered told us." Sephiroth glared hard at her, "I want to know how you all knew of me. And about the headmaster knowing me and why he brought me to this world."
"You have a lot of questions I bet..." She smirked, sipping a bit of her drink from a straw, "But honestly, I only have little answers. One thing I can tell you, however, is the reason why we knew about you." Sephiroth watched her intently, not taking a bite of his food.
"Well.." She started, wiping her mouth, "Powerful dark demon mages are always on the lookout for more power. They yearn for it. Hunt. Kill for it. That kind of deal. Well anyways, it turns out they were searching for a power source that was unimaginable. And somehow, they found it on your world. They found you." She took a small bite from a sandwich before she continued.
"They sensed your corruptions and strengths, and wanted your power desperately. And when were defeated, they had their chance. We don't know anything from your world, but we knew it was very difficult to do what the headmaster did. My guess is that he didn't want those dark mages to harness your power, and took you back first."
"And the best way to hide my power was to seal it away." Sephiroth finished, clenching his fists tightly, "It's too obvious. But something in what I'm thinking is missing."
"Oh well." She smiled, finishing her sandwich, "You should eat quickly. We got some shopping to do!" Sephiroth sighed, but didn't move to touch his food.
"Oh, I forgot!" She said, "My name is Rei!" Sephiroth scoffed and finally took a small sip from his drink.
"So tell me, Sephiroth...if you are so powerful and godly, how were you defeated?" Sephiroth winced and rubbed his temples lightly.
"I was...controlled. A puppet. And in the end, I chose to not break away from it. I was foolish." He sighed, shaking his head, "And I was...crazed. I still am, since I'm talking to you."
"Harsh..." She winced, "So why the hate for all the humans around us? They seem to like you a lot." Sephiroth then noticed he was receiving many stares and glances.
"You don't need to know." He said as he stood up, not touching the rest of his food, "Let's just buy our things and get on with it." She she smiled lightly and threw the scraps of her food away, "Aw, you're no fun." She then too him buy his arm, much to his dismay, and she pulled him around the huge mall.
Shopping, Sephiorth realized, was now his most hated activity. It seemed to take hours and hours to buy one pair of clothes because of the girl, who insisted that he buy something "stylish". He gave no care for clothes, and after trying on shirt after shirt and multiple pairs of pants, he stopped caring and bought ones he quickly pulled out form her hand. She was a little angry, but Sephiroth had better things to do then care about her feelings.
"Oh come on! You're ruining the fun of things!" She exclaimed, nudging his back with her fist, "The human world can be like a vacation for us!" Sephiroth was growing tiresome. He literally wanted to kill her right then and now, but it would be seen in public. And the last thing he wanted was a mob of humans chasing after him. When he exited the mall, the sky was dark, with a crescent moon filling the sky.
"Well it was fun I have to say." She laughed, "It was nice spending time with a cute guy like yourself." The comment didn't faze Sephiroth, and he grumbled while walking away.
"Hey!" She cried out, running after him, "Where are you going?" The streets were still crowded, and she had a hard time navigating around the people to reach him. She found him disappearing into an alley and quickly ran to catch up with him. She went in after him, and was only met with darkness and the sounds of the people walking by.
Suddenly, something grabbed the edge of her shirt and threw her against the brick wall, smacking her back into it and knocking the air from her lungs.
"Now tell me." Sephiroth said in her face, his green eyes looking dangerous and threatening, "Who you are." The girl was going to say something but Sephiroth grabbed her by the throat and squeezed.
"I'm...a student at Yokai Academy...Like you..." She coughed, "Headmaster...sent me to watch...over you..." Sephiroth listened patiently, but then slammed into the wall once again.
"Leave me alone." He hissed, watching the fear in her eyes, "Or the worst thing I ever did to anybody will happen to you." He released her and she sank to the concrete ground, coughing wildly as she gripped her throat. Sephiroth then picked up his shopping bags and began to walk away.
"What...is the worst thing...you ever did to somebody?..." She asked as she looked up at him, her eyes red and watery. Sephiroth froze, his grip tightening.
"I wouldn't remember." He then walked out from the alley and disappeared into the crowd.
His walk home was unfavorable. People gave him strange stares and tried to spark a conversation, but he ignored them. He had his fair share of people that day.
As he approached the house, he noticed something different. The small girl that had sold him the cookies was standing in the middle of the sidewalk, staring up at the house. He frowned, not wanting to deal with her for the rest of the summer break.
"Hey." He said, walking up to her, "What are you doing?" She turned to look up at him. She had a black eye with bruises all over her arms and legs, and she had a shallow cut on her cheek. Sephiroth stopped in his tracks, his gleaming green eyes fixating on her form. She had been crying, and she was barefoot. It looked like she had ran away hastily. Her bloodied and hurt form oddly reminded him of something. Something the he had forgotten long ago.
She reminded him of himself.
"Come on." He said, walking up to the door, "Come inside. I won't keep this door open forever." The girl looked up and blinked at him before scrambling into his doorway.

That morning, when Sephiroth woke up, he wasn't alone. The little girl was curled up on the foot of the bed, with a soft blanket wrapped tightly around her. Sephiroth was slightly annoyed since he had made a bed for her in one of the spare rooms. He lightly kicked her awake and emerged from his bed, awake and angry.
"What are you doing in here?" He asked, his voice strong and demanding. She looked at the floor with guilt, letting her feet hang off from the bed. He had bandaged her up and had given her ointments, but she was starting to swell up in some areas. She had been beaten pretty badly, and her feet were also bloody and cut up when he found her. Sephiroth then sighed, running his hand through his hair, "Lay in bed. Your feet need time to heal." He then quickly went downstairs, not understanding why he bothered with such a little human. It's not like she could be of any use to him.
He came back upstairs with a glass of water and a bowl of fruit he picked up from the kitchen. He set the bowl onto the bed and the glass onto the nightstand. She quickly drained the cup and ate quickly, emptying the bowl within seconds.
"Who are you?" He asked, sitting down in a chair, "What's your name?"
The girl looked at him nervously, "T-Tiffany..." She said, not meeting his eyes. Sephiroth frowned, finding something else familiar about her. The name was bringing back the memory of someone, but he couldn't find their face.
"What happened to you?" He asked. She kept her gaze onto the floor while biting her lip.
"Did someone in your family beat you?" He asked, leaning forward in his chair, "Like your father?"
"No!" She said immediately. She suddenly became wary of her outburst and became silent again.
Sephiroth sighed. He didn't have any patience for this. "Tell me. Maybe I could help." He said, meaning to kick her out of the house so that he could be alone. The girl shifted and sniffed.
"My...my daddy owes some scary men...for my mom's operations..." She said, her eyes becoming watery, "They...they came and...they took my daddy...my sister...and...they hurt me..." She began to cry, "I...ran as fast as I could..." She began sobbing.
"Why did you come to me?" He asked, "I don't even know you that well."
She sniffed, "I...didn't know who else to go to. Everyone ignores me...you're the first..." Sephiroth cursed lightly and stood up, shaking his head. "I can't help you. Go to the police."
"No!" She said, looking up at him, "Then...my father...will get into more trouble...he might..." The girl started sobbing harder, and Sephiroth grew tiresome. Humans were very annoying...he would have disposed of her normally. But somehow he didn't have it in him to end her. Ever since the seal...
Sephiroth gritted his teeth and shook his head, his options small and irritating. He looked at her sternly, his patience thinning, "Then...do you know where he could be?" The girl thought for a second before shaking her head with more sobs. Sephiroth watched her cry, her tears dripping down her cheeks. He had never cried as a child. He couldn't. If he had, Hojo and the other scientists would punish him fiercely. He had been taught that man had to be strong, and since he would become the strongest existence in the world, he would have to have an iron will.
"I guess we'll have to head back to your home then." Sephiroth said, his fist tightening, "I have no doubt that they're waiting for you to come back home." The girl looked up at him, her eyes red and puffy. The former SOLDIER glared lightly at her, "Don't worry. I'll take care of them. It's our best place to start to find your father." In all honesty, he wanted to beat down on some humans.

Yukari buried her face into her pillow that was soaking up her tears. She had the worst nightmare that night, and it frightened her beyond belief. She had woken up shaking and crying, and her parents had to comfort her. Not wanting to worry them, she told them that it was just a bad dream. It was a bad dream, but she felt that it was something much, much more.
She sat up, the sun warming her face. Her bed was nice and soft, with colorful sheets and stuffed animals placed around her as though they were protecting her. Her walls had pictures of her family, friends, and small drawings she made as a kid, and her floor was clear of all messes. Yukari shook her head, trying to get the images out from her mind. The images...of a burning school and a bloodied sword.
"This has to be a sign of something..." Yukari said to herself, pulling her knees to her chest. "I...I have to go find Sephiroth..." She sighed, still lightly shaking from the fear she had felt. She had a feeling that the other girls had the same dream. The dream felt so real. It felt like...magic.

Bunji Kusaka was a tough loan shark working for an illegal company that manufactured and transported drugs, weapons, and were usually called on for information. Bunji was in charge of taking back the money that clients owed to the company, and he was good at it. Being strong, big, and vicious, he usually never failed his company. Although his group was small, they were excellent at getting their company's money back. He had kidnapped and killed more then countless times, and grew a fierce reputation within underground. And at this moment, the mighty Bunji was waiting for a child to come home.
"We've been here all night..." One of his henchman said, sitting down on a torn up sofa, "She's not going to come back. She probably went to the police already."
"No." Bunji said, "The company has the Japanese Police under its influence, so we would have known by now. We need that girl to settle the payment. Well...more like just her organs."
"Bah...it's so boring..." Another henchman said, pulling out a sleek black 9mm pistol from his coat pocket, "I'm wanting some action..."
"It's not like we really need five of us to capture her..." the one on the sofa said, "I think the other two are keeping watch from upstairs. But I don't see why only two or three of us can't handle this on our own."
"It's the company's wishes..." Bunji sighed, taking out and lighting a cigarette, "I don't understand it either."
"Hey boss!" One of the men called from upstairs, "She's coming to the front door!" Bunji grinned, taking in the tobacco smoke, "Good. You two, get her when she opens the door." The two men nodded and walked towards the door, which was on the other side of the house. Bunji was sitting in the living room, and the doorway was a good distance from it.
"Such an easy job..." Bunji sighed, taking a breathe from his cigarette.
He heard the door open, and expecting the girl to scream. But instead, he heard a yelp and the sound of something crashing. He looked at the hallway curiously, and was even more surprised when he heard the gunshot and another crashing sound. Bunji was a little stunned at the sounds, but he kept his cool as he stood up. The other two men from upstairs rushed down, both holding their pistols in their hands.
"What's going on?" One of them asked, pointing their gun down the hallway.
"Don't know. Looks like the girl brought someone." Bunji said, before throwing away his cigarette and drawing his own gun. The three then moved quietly to the doorway, and then rushed into the hallway, pointing their guns towards the door.
The two men that had left Bunji were sprawled on the floor, and looked either unconscious or dead. There was a sizable crater in the wall beside the door, and blood was splattered against it. The gun that had fired was thrown into a corner, and a bullet hole was peeking out from the door.
"What happened here...?" One of Bunji's henchman asked, stepping cautiously toward the two bodies on the floor. And before he could get an answer, a silver blur flew down from the ceiling and attacked him. The blur, in an instant, flung the man at Bunji, who just narrowly sidestepped the flying body. The other henchman in front of him fired frantically, but the blur was too fast. Bunji could barely make out a punch and watched the man in front of him fly and hit the wall beside him. Bunji lifted his pistol, ready to fire at the blur when it disappeared before his eyes. And before he knew it, there was a sharp pain at his right temple and everything went black.

Sephiroth threw the bodies of the men into the living room. He didn't kill them, but he gave them fractures and broken bones. One might even be in a coma for a while. He looked back towards the door to see Tiffany lightly poke her head in the doorway, looking very frightened. Sephiroth ignored her, and grabbed the most largest and intimidating man from the floor who he guessed was the leader. Sephiroth placed him into a chair and grabbed thick ropes, tying him up uncomfortably. He then smiled and sat in the sofa directly in front of his captive, his eyes showing malice and his violent nature.
After Tiffany sat next to him, Sephiroth suddenly lashed out and smacked his prisoner alongside the head, attempting to wake him up.
"Hey." Sephiroth said, "Open your eyes or I'll do something worse." He didn't receive an answer, so Sephiroth then lightly grabbed his finger and grinned.
The man snapped awake and howled in pain as the sharp crack of his finger echoed in the small room. His eyes slowly began to focus on the silver haired figure before him.
"No way..." the man coughed, "...just a kid?" He howled in pain again as Sephiroth started bending his finger even farther.
"What did you do with her father?" Sephiroth asked nudging his head towards the directions of the little girl on his side. The man turned to look at her, trying to set aside the pain.
"That's where the little brat is..." the man began to laugh, "Soon, we'll get her too." The man screamed in agony when Sephiroth completely bent his finger back, with the skin beginning to tear and blood starting to pour from his wound.
"Where is her family?" Sephiroth asked, grabbing another finger, "Tell me now." The man spat onto the floor and glared at Sephiroth, "Even if I do tell you, it's not like they will still be alive.." The man chuckled, "The company is good at disappearing people." Sephiroth glared hard at him, wanting to just kill him on the spot.
"Just tell." Sephiroth said, snapping back the man's finger. A horrid scream emerged from his captive's throat, and he gritted his teeth in pain.
"...The middle of the city...it's in an abandoned warehouse near the mall...you can't miss it...it's painted pure white..." Sephiroth grinned, and delivered an angry punch to the man's cheek, knocking him and his chair onto the floor. The former SOLDIER then stood up, cracking his knuckles as he turned to Tiffany.
"Head back to my place. I'll bring back your family." He said as he kicked away a nearby gun on the floor.

Rei laid down patiently on the soft sofa of the office and plopped a strip of gum into her mouth. She was wearing a short, and tempting dress that rode high on her thighs, and was low cut. Her hair was hanging all over the place, and she was wearing a strange blue necklace with yellow runes cut into it.
"So...how was spending the day with our little Sephiroth?" A voice called behind the desk, "Was it interesting?"
"Very..." She grinned, tossing her hair off of her face, "He was very intimidating indeed. Even if he was sealed off."
"Did he tell you anything...about his past?..."
"Nothing much. Only that he was controlled at one point."
"Ah, I see...Foolish headmaster...He didn't know anything about Sephiroth's past much at all. Only his name and only a few things he had done."
"We barely know as much as he does." Rei said, yawning lightly.
"True. Information is what we need in order to carry out our plans. And we don't have enough of it at all."
"Well..." Rei grinned, sitting up onto the couch, "We do have this Genesis character. Maybe he knows a few things." The mysterious voice chuckled lightly.
"Indeed we do. But to awaken him, we need Sephiroth's power. All we know is that those two are keys figures in our plan."
"What about the other one?" Rei asked, cocking her head slightly, "Wasn't there another one?"
"Yes, but we can't pull him back to this world. The powers that have him are on a whole other level of power. Power that we need to obtain." The voice began to chuckle lightly, "Now all we need is patience and time." There was a light knock on the door, and someone walked in.
"Sorry if I'm late." The boy with red hair and the strange tattoo on his face said, smiling.
"Ah, we just started." Rei laughed, "Any new data to give us?"
"Yes..." The boy said as he grinned, "Everything is set into place. Once Sephiroth attends Yokai Academy again, everything will go in to effect."
"Good." the voice behind the desk replied, "Now...we must now discuss of the future of the Yokai...and the dark future of the humans..."
This chapter was very slow to me haha...I'm not too happy with what came out, but it will all catch up and come into play later. Sephiroth will soon be at Yokai Academy again, and his true form is very near. Please correct me on any mistake I made. Please REVIEW!
