JOY AT LAST
Sephiroth spent the next two hours gleefully hacking Hojo into bits and feeding him to various animals as he carried Billy back to New Mideel. Thankfully Billy was passed out from the mako injection.
Sephiroth dragged along what was left of Hojo in his blood-soaked labcoat though the streets of New Mideel as he made his way to the hospital. He left the remains outside as he brought Billy in, setting him on the desk in front of Layla, "Little something for you, now if you don't mind, I've got a little bit of Hojo left to deposit somewhere."
Layla stared at his gory state then down at Billy. When she looked back up, Sephiroth was gone. The doctor came out of the inpatient room and saw Billy. Quickly making his way over, he looked at the boy. "Some Mako poisoning, though his body is young, he should be able to take it and survive."
Layla looked out at the trail of blood and shivered, "He...said he ...." she shook her head.
"I know, I heard him, that's why I came out," the doctor said softly, "Go get the boy's mother, Layla."
"I'm already here!" the young woman said, leaning against the doorframe to catch her breath, "I- saw the blood- I knew- only that bastard would do that kind of disgusting thing," she came in, "gods- is my boy alright?"
"He'll be fine... The one he was dragging around like that was the one who did this to your boy," the doctor explained, "Looks like Hojo gave him mako-Jenova treatment..."
"How do you know all this?" Billy's mother asked, suspiciously, touching her son's hair.
"I used to work under Hojo. I'm somewhat surprised Sephiroth hadn't recognized me." The old man shook his head as he wrote in a notepad, "I'm not sorry to see Hojo end this way, in my opinion, he asked for it. Tormenting that poor boy the way he did." The doctor snapped closed his notepad then got to work on getting Billy comfortable in a bed then left to inform the council that the boy had been found. He also intended to inform them that the one who had kidnapped him punished- by Sephiroth.
Billy's mother shook her head, "When he was talking about Hojo tormenting 'the boy' did he mean Billy or Sephiroth?" she asked Layla softly.
"I don't know... but I hope J-....Sephiroth is okay out there..." Layla said, hanging her head as she sat back down behind the desk.
"Did you know that he really was gardening? I found him a week ago in a clearing in the woods... there was a big patch of transplanted flowers," Billy's mother said in a hushed voice, standing where she could see her boy and talk to Layla.
Layla lifted her head, "Really?"
"Turns out he's got a very good sense of arrangement..."
