Chapter 14 Honey Bee Inn part 2

Disclaimer

Yeah yeah, I don't own ff7 and I never will don't rub it in!!!!! But I can always hope and dream. *Hugs recently bought Sephiroth resin statue*.

Now on with the fic........

'Now what am I going to do now?' Sephiroth thought to himself as he felt a tap on his shoulder, to then instantly recoil, nearly falling down with shock as a man wearing a long pink dress, long blonde hair, and OTT (over the top) eyelashes came up to him. The false woman winked and licked his lips seductively at Sephiroth.

"Hey, My name's Big Bro and I think you look soooo cute for a Sephiroth look a like," the man began, sucking a piece of a blonde lock of hair which could be instantly recognised as a wig.

"Aaaaggghhh!!!!" Sephiroth's mind screamed. Alarm bells rang in his head, scared and both disgusted at the lustful look he was getting from the man. This was the last thing he wanted to experience.

"Hey wanna dance cutie?" Big Bro asked seductively, placing one red nail varnished hand to his hip, and batting his eyelashes. Sephiroth cringed, turning his head away, hoping that the gay cross dressing man would leave him alone.

'No, I can't kill him, it would cause too much attention. Damn you Cetra,' Sephiroth thought annoyed at his situation.

"Hey come on, it'll be fine hunny," Big Bro said softly, placing his hand on Sephiroth's shoulder-pad while the other hand swept his hand through his hair.

"Oooh silky," he whispered as Sephiroth roughly shook him off.

"......." Sephiroth was too irate to even say anything. So he turned around and glared at the man who was getting on his nerves, wishing more than anything that he didn't have Aeris' clothes in his hands. His gloved hands clenched and twisted into the cloths.

"Oh come on, don't be shy," the blonde haired man said, trying to touch Sephiroth's muscular body, yet the swordsman dodged his hand.

'Doesn't he get it, go away,' Sephiroth thought growing agitated, the thought of just letting go, pulling out Masamune and slaughtering the man in cold blood and anyone else who got in his way.

"Oh come on man, say something, cat got yaw tongue?" Big Bro laughed as Sephiroth's mouth turned into a snarl.

"Leave me alone, or I assure you, you will regret it," the swordsman said acerbically, glaring at the cross dresser with such an intensity, that the fake woman began to feel a little discomforted.

"Oh uh erm…okay, then..." Big Bro stuttered.

'Hell, he's either a bloody good actor to imitate the Great Sephiroth or he must be a relative of his or some sort. Ah well, he is a no go… onto the next guy,' the transvestite thought and left the swordsman's side as quickly as he came.

After Big Bro had left, Sephiroth shook his head and slowly calmed down, holding Aeris' clothes to his chest while he mumbled to himself.

"I should have went with my plan, I should have went with my plan," the silver haired warrior mentally chanted as he started to walk around the room, looking for a more secluded spot. At this moment in time, Sephiroth cursed all flower girl Cetra's who thought they could come up with relatively unintelligent ideas.

"I hope I look good enough," Aeris thought out loud as she posed in the long mirror nearby. After Aeris had talked to the Honeybee assistant, she was sent into the $&*! Room and luckily no-body else was inside. Aeris thought that was a little odd. But what was more odder was how there was a strange looking black cube thing on the far end of the wall.

As she looked at herself in the mirror, the brunette frowned slightly as she saw the dress's tightness around her stomach and thighs. The tight material clung to her in ways that she really was not that comfortable with.

"Uggh, I hope I don't look fat in this," Aeris mumbled as flicked her hair off her shoulder and repositioned her bangs.

"I feel like something is not right in here," the brunette thought aloud, as she idly looked at the black box in the corner of the room. She feared to go too close to it as she was unsure what it could be.

"Calm down Aeris, why would a place like this need a surveillance camera hidden in a changing room ?" The Cetra began, then cringed as she realised what place she was in.

"Forget I thought that," Aeris stated, bringing her attention back to her midsection. Her eyes lingered on her chest and stomach, wishing more than anything at that moment that she had a body like Tifa. After looking at her dress and repositioning it once more, Aeris knew she couldn't make herself look any better than...

"OOOH, DON'T YOU LOOK GORGEOUS!!!" Cried a passionate voice behind her, causing the brunette to jump in surprise at the muscular man who just appeared behind her. Aeris looked him up and down noticing that he was only wearing a thong. She started to feel rather uncomfortable.

"Hey, don't be frightened. It's only me Mukki!! I just didn't expect anyone else to be in here," he laughed as he placed his hands on his hips, his eyes roaming up and down Aeris' frame as Aeris looked at the floor and blushed.

"Hmmn, something isn't right. By the way what is your name girl?" Mukki questioned as he walked closer to Aeris with a sway of his hips. He held her shoulders as Aeris stared into the mirror, feeling uncomfortable that a stranger had just walked up to her and was this close to her.

"Lily as stated in my application," the Cetra whispered half audibly, watching Mukki's mouth in the mirror turn into a bright smile.

"OOOH, what a pretty name for a pretty girl. You do remind me of a very pretty flower. Lily suits you beautifully," he said softly twirling a lock of Aeris' hair around his finger while the brunette remained uncomfortably immobile.

"Well, Aeris I must say that while you look sooo completely and adorably gorgeous, there is something missing," Mukki stated as he fluffed up Aeris' hair while Aeris tried not to cringe from the stranger's contact.

"Your hair looks so beautiful and full of volume. I bet everyone is jealous of you for it. I know I am," the muscle bound man said as he twirled another piece of hair into a ringlet.

"Your hair is no problem but I think that it would be even better if you clipped a little bit up," Mukki stated as he broke contact with Aeris and walked to the dresser in the room, He opened up the draw and found a silver clip. He picked it up and pulled out a mysterious black bead from the drawer and connected it to the clip, so that is was unhidden when placed on.

"This one is perfect," Mukki cried out, covering his true intentions as he waltzed back to Aeris and clipped the hair in place then standing back to admire his work.

"Ur .... Thank you," Aeris said politely already liking the new addition.

"I'll give it back to you after the competition;" Aeris said brushing imaginary lint from her dress.

"No, no. Don't be so silly. You can keep it, consider it as a gift and besides, black doesn't really suit me," Mukki said walking to the door.

"Oh thanks again," Aeris thanked noticing for the first time that there was a chair in there as she sat down.

"Don't mention it, any who, I think it's time for the show love, so just go down this room and you'll see a door to your right. That is where the other competitors are waiting," Mukki stated sweetly. Aeris thanked Mukki for being so nice and kind to her before walking through the entrance and following the route to where the show was about to begin.

.............................

"Woo!! Finally," Mukki sighed as he plopped himself down into the chair Aeris was in only moments ago. Closing his eyes as he placed his arm on the chair to be driven out of his peace as a PHS rang.

"Great," he muttered as he stood up and stretched. He walked up to the dresser and picked up his mobile.

"Yes hello...oh.......yes I did it, I placed the tracking device on that girl,"

"Yes im sure it was her. She fit your description of the runaway... ok. Yes, Thank you... yeah.... Don't mention it.... Bye...." Mukki said before he turned off his mobile and placed a hand to his forehead.

"Sigh….ShinRa...You can never trust them..."

\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\

"What is taking them so long!??!" Sephiroth thought angrily as he continued to walk around the room, trying to ignore the whispers and all the stares he received. Especially the lust filled ones from the women and some ugh, men.

"Gggrrr, this better hurry up or I will burn this place to the ground," Sephiroth murmured to himself, as he felt his patience grow thin. Soon after he said those words, the lights flickered above him and the curtains that he didn't notice before opened up revealing a muscle bound body builder who was wearing nothing more than a leopard skin thong.

'Finally,' Sephiroth thought, leaning his back against the wall to watch the show.

.........................................................

"Now as most of you know, the Don has left Midgar due to some unforeseen circumstances. This means that temporarily he has left all the power he had on this place unto me," Mukki explained to the audience as he heard a few boos and groans when he mentioned Don Corneo.

"Now what better way than to celebrate my uprising with one of my grand competitions." He called out as the crowds cheered and raised their glasses to him.

"Like all my competitions, I will set the rules on how HB gets their Honey Bee inn girls. But instead of the winner getting a job, they will get a chance to sleep in the Don's mansion with a man of their choice from the audience." Mukki continued as he spotted a scary look a like of Sephiroth in the audience. He tried to remain calm as he knew ShinRa surveillance camera's were all around him. He had to maintain his cool.

All the audience was all cheering and roaring, well all except Sephiroth who was looking on with boredom and impatience. Sephiroth went to fold his arms as an automatic reaction then realised that he was still carrying the Cetra's clothing.

"Now ladies and gentleman, lets get on with the show, ladies come on in" Mukki shouted into the microphone as the twin curtains on the stage opened up to reveal a line of girls and some cross dressed men smirking stupidly at the audience.

\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\

"Where is the Cetra?!?!" Sephiroth thought until he saw her behind two rows of women.

'At least she is safe for now,' he thought as he continued to watch the stage.

"Now I sure everyone here knows the rules, Cheer for the person you want to win. The loudest cheer will make the winner!!!" Mukki shouted as the audience screamed in such frenzy, Sephiroth thought his ears might bleed.

"Now lets get this show on the road. First candidate Clementine Barter..." the thong clad man called out as a short girl who looked no older than 15 walked out from the line of girls, wearing no more than the bare necessities. She flexed and puffed out her bleached, blonde hair while fluttering her extended eyelashes.

"What do you think audience, Hit or miss?!?!!" The announcer spoke out as moans and shouts came form the audience.

"GET OFF THE STAGE GIRL. WE WANT A REAL WOMAN, NOT SOME YOUNG GIRL OUT OF SCHOOL!!!!!!!" One man called from the audience as others began to go with his view.

"Yeah, we don't want little girly Prostitutes running the show!! BOO!!!!!!! BOO!!!!!!!!!! BOO!!!!!!!!!" The audience shouted as the girl on the stage teared up and ran off the stage.

Sephiroth shook his head, knowing that was coming.

'That girl was too young anyway, maybe 13-14?"

"............ Well that was a miss, onto the next girl..... Mukki called, as one by one, girls, boys and even old ladies tried to sell themselves to the audience all failing due the lack of appeal each shared.

Mukki, was grinning sadly inside, feeling pity for all those people who were on stage knowing that this was all a set up for the Aeris girl, yet the thought of receiving 300 000 000 gil from ShinRa brightened his thoughts up.

"NEXT.... Is the um...Flower girl." Mukki called already expecting the fixed audience's reaction upon seeing Aeris.

Sephiroth's ears perked up after the name of 'flower' knowing more than likely that, that was the Cetra.

\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\

"Uh, I can't do this," Aeris thought as she walked towards the front of the stage.

'Now do I sway my hip to the right when I step left or do I sway my hip right when I step right?!?!' Aeris pondered, feeling very uncomfortable as the spotlight was totally upon her. A small part of her mind wished that she went with Sephiroth's idea when she faked a wide smile to the audience.

'Where is Seph anyway?!?!' Aeris wondered, stopping at the front of the stage to scan the audience for her silver haired warrior. 'Now if I was Sephy where would I hide away from people?!?!' Aeris thought, concentrating on looking for the swordsman than that of the huingry eyes looking at her body as if she were a mere piece of meat.

"There he is," Aeris said mentally to herself as she saw a flash of silver at the far back of the room. His piercing Mako eyes were looking at her directly, seeming to penetrate right through the brunette's being. The expression on his face was unknown to Aeris as she had a worried thought.

"Oh no, maybe he thinks that I'll have no chance at winning this," Aeris thought frantically as she waited for Mukki to quieten down the audience.

"Yes this girl, is one of the most precious flowers in our competition. Give it all up to her folks," Mukki called as hoots of the audience was forced at the Cetra. Aeris closed her eyes, trying to block out the sounds yet couldn't shake off the two sparkling emerald Mako enhanced eyes staring at her as she was the only thing that existed.

\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\

I'll leave it there. Not too bad ne?!?! I wonder what Seph is thinking ne?!?! Is it Aeris?!?! And does he like how she is dressed?!?! Probably not as we all know how over protective our one winged angel is over things he likes and wants.

Keep on reviewing for the next chapter of To love an Ancient. An Aeris and Sephiroth story.
