I Do Not!

                "Now, can't you see it all now? Little Rufus's and Misty's, running around the mansion sword fighting. Training to become First Class SOLDIERS. Can't you see it?" Rufus smiled and looked at Misty.

            Misty stayed quite.

            "No, matter because you will be seeing it real soon." Rufus opened up two huge doors. "I'll leave you in here so you can think things through. You know, for the wedding." Rufus laughed. "I'll be back in a few. So don't worry."

            "I won't!"

            The door slammed shut.

            Misty growled. "Jerk." She looked around the dark aqua room.

There was a balcony. It had a wonderful view of the polluted city. There was a big huge bed with a canopy. It was like a normal room, but bigger. It had two nightstands on each side of the bed, a huge walk in closet, a bathroom, three dressers, and an entertainment center; complete with an DVD player, VCR, 42" T.V., & a PlayStation 1 & 2.

Misty got up off the cold hard tiled floor. She walked towards the balcony's doors. She flung them open. She walked towards the guarding rail of the balcony. Misty looked over. It was seventy floors all the way down. "Maybe someone will catch me if I jump." She laughed nervously and took a deep breath. The wind whipped her hair across her face. She held the wall for balance and climbed up the railing. She looked down and shook. "I can't do this." She jumped down. "What am I going to do?" She walked back in the room and threw herself on the bed.

Then the door opened. Misty jumped. "Who are you?" She stared at the girl in the doorway. The girl wore a long red dress that faded in to orange and then yellow. It dragged behind her. She had long curly blonde hair and her eyes were yellowish green. She had stars for rings, necklaces and as a crown. She awed Misty. "What do you want? If it's for that Rufus, I refuse to go!"

The girl just stood there and smiled. "I'm afraid you have to." Her voice was soft and sweet. "I'm Starlet." She smiled. "And would you please follow me? I don't want to call security. They're not very nice."

"Fine." She followed Starlet out the room into a long hall. They walked down the long hall. Misty saw some girl walking up. She lowered her head.

They stopped walking.

"Hello, Starlet." The girl spoke. "Who's this?" She seemed amused.

"The long a waited 1st class SOLDIER."

She stepped back. "Misty?" She stepped back forward and put her thumb and index finger on Misty's chin and pushed up. "So it is."

Misty blinked and pulled away from her grasp. "Scarlet… Long time no see." She smiled. "Are you still a secretary?" She sneered.

Scarlet laughed. "Yeah. Secretary of Military Defense and Weapon Development." She smiled.

Misty smiled. "I'm happy for you. I'm glad to see that you slept your way to the top." Misty cocked her head to the left. "Are you still the little slut who always tried to sleep with Rufus, but he never slept with you because he wanted me and wanted to be sure the you never laid a finger on him because I would think he was dirty?"

Scarlet glared at Misty. "You're just jealous! You never got to sleep with Sephiroth and you hate me for that! You hate me because I got to him first and last…" She laughed. "You never had a chance." She smiled evilly at Misty.

"No, you were the jealous one. Jealous, that I had the looks, the body, and the guys. So you went off and became a slut. A slut so you can fuck your way up to the top." Misty laughed and pushed Scarlet. "I worked my way up to the top and it pissed you off that you could never do it!"

Scarlet growled. "This isn't over!" She walked off in a huff.

Misty turned back to Starlet.

Starlet smiled. "Welcome back. Someone finally put her in her place for once." She began to walk again.

"I take it you hate her too. Couldn't blame you." Misty followed her. "Boy, I can't wait to see the look on her face when she finds out me and Rufus are 'suppose to' get married." She gave a stifle laugh. "Ah well, I hope I get saved or something…"

Starlet looked back at Misty over her shoulder and smiled. "Well, she will find out soon enough, now lets get you dressed." She walked across the room to a huge closet. She looked for a dress. "Hmm, which dress???" She bit her bottom lip. "Ahh." She finally chose a dark teal silk evening gown. At the top of the dress it was a dark teal then slowly faded to a faint teal and the bottom of the dress. It flowed down to the floor. "This should look nice. The master will love it." She looked at Misty and smiled weakly. "Let bathe first." She smiled and opened another pair of doors.

Misty stared at the dress is awe but cringed at the word of "master". She looked at Starlet then into the huge bathroom. There was a huge tub into middle. It looked like ten people could fit in it with enough breathing room. She smelled a faint essence of rose, lavender, and rosemary. She inhaled deep.

Starlet ran the warm water into the tub. She poured in some of the rose-lavender-rosemary soap. Bubbles began to rise along with the water. Starlet ran her hand in it. "Take off your clothes and get in." Starlet turned around and got Misty shampoo and conditioner. It was the same scent of the bubble soap.

She slipped out of her dirty clothes and slipped into the tub. The water felt good against her skin. She sunk herself into the water. The scents of the soap in gulfed her. She breathed on deep. It felt good to her lungs. She submerged herself then came back up.

Starlet poured shampoo on Misty's head and began to massage it through. "Now, I want you to look like a lady… not a man-monster, ok? So try to stay clean!" She pulled Misty's hair slightly.

"Ow!"

"Oh hush!" Starlet laughed. "Here make yourself useful." She threw a bath sponge in front of Misty. "Scrub off all the dirt."

About an hour later…

"Now for the dress." She held the dress out so Misty could get it.

She took the dress from Starlet and slid into the cool silk fabric of the dress. It covered her feet. "Shoes?"

Starlet nodded. "No… We want you to walk around the mansion bare foot." She pulled out and pair of white six-inch platform, lace up, stilettos. "These should go nice."

Misty stared. "I'm gonna look lie a porn star… And a well dressed one at that…"

"You'll look fine now put them on and let's curl the ends of your hair."

"Fine."

Starlet walked up to two huge doors, down the opposite way of the "grooming room" as Starlet called it. There was a sign on the door. "Meeting room. Meeting in session"

 "Now," She turned to Misty. "Stay here. I'll call for you when you're needed." She knocked on the doors. Two guards opened it. She walked in.

"Ah, Starlet! How is my beauty?" Rufus was standing looking out the window.

"She is fine, sir." She stood in front of the large meeting table where everyone sat at.

"Bring her to me."

Starlet nodded. She turned to the guards. "Get her."

They opened the door and Misty walked in.

Rufus turned. He smiled. "Magnificent. Beautiful, absolutely beautiful." He drooled over the way Misty looked in the dress. "I have called all of you here to make a very important announcement…" He looked at his father then Scarlet. "I'm to be wedded to Misty tomorrow afternoon at 3:30 p.m. And there shall be no delays or interruptions." He smiled.

Scarlet jumped up. "You can't marry her!!! She's-She's… She's worthless!"

President Shin- Ra stood up. "Sit down Scarlet! You're out of line!!! If Rufus wants to marry her, he will! Understood?!?"

Scarlet sat down. "Yes…" She glared at Misty.

Misty smiled.

"Now. Misty. Since you'll be family, come sit down with us."

Misty bit her lip and sat with them. Sephiroth…

Sephiroth looked up at her and smiled. She was beautiful floating there. Her medium-long brown, silver, and blue hair, framed her face. It flowed over her shoulders just falling short of covering her bosom. She was smiling with her eyes closed. Her silver-blue lips were perfectly painted on her pale tan face. Her skin was a pale goldish blue. Her eyes had silver and blue over the eyelids like crisp clear blue cool winter skies. Her arms were out as if she was waiting for someone to catch her. Her chest was out but her stomach and butt were back. She was at a ninety-degree angle raised on a platform. Large amounts of her skin were exposed to the pale dim light. She was only wrapped thin white sheets of silk, covering her chest, hips and upper part of her thighs. The rest of her was exposed, showing her pale blue skin and tattoos.

            Sephiroth's eyes gleamed in the light. He was still smiling. He looked over Misty's blue body. He reached up to touch her stomach and she moved forward a bit. He yanked his hand back as if he got bit. He looked at Misty up and down. She move forward more and slow.

            As she slowly fell forward, her lips parted and her eyes slowly opened as if she woke up from a deep sleep. Sephiroth stood back and watched her. She began to cry. No noise, no tears but a thick warm blood like liquid. It was brown, pink and red. Just like Jenova's blood. It was Jenova's blood. It streamed down her face slowly. Then from her mouth it came. Dripping from the front of her lower lip and then running from the side corners of her mouth. From her fingertips she bled too. The Jenova blood floated off her fingertips as if there was no gravity. Like they were in space.

Sephiroth stepped forward. Misty was at a one hundred and twenty degree angle now. Jenova's blood began to drip down her face starting from where her hairline met her facile skin. It slowly ran down her face mingling it with blood.

Now she was even closer to Sephiroth. Their noses almost touched. Sephiroth reached out slowly and touched her face. He smiled. She looked like how Jenova was when he discovered her in Mountain Nibel's Reactor. Misty moved her hand and touched his hand. She caressed his hand against her face. Sephiroth slowly pulled his hand away and then gently placed his hands on the sides of her hip and lifted her off the platform

Misty flew forward and started to gasp for air. "Oh my god… Oh my god…" She pressed her hand against the middle of her chest. She concentrated on her breathing pattern before she hyperventilated. She was beginning to calm down but not by much. The flash backs of her dream kept coming back. "This can't be happening…" Just then a prickle of magic climbed her skin. She went tense.

            She began to feel drowsy. She tried to fight the spell of sleep someone was putting on her. Her head began to swim. The room move and her bed moved under her. She slipped back down into the pillows of her bed. In the morning she would be married to Rufus, or attempted to be once again. She was falling in and out of consciousness.
