Pray
Misty sat on her bed staring blankly at the wood floorboards. "Why did the earth release the WEAPONs? Is it really time for the world to end? Is there really a Promised Land? What's gonna happen?" Thoughts and questions filled her mind. She looked up out her window. The moon wasn't silver anymore. It was red, like blood. Next to it was Meteor. The sky was blood red an bright. She looked back down. This time her white materia caught her eye. She looked out the window, but this time towards the forest.
She got up and silently walked outside. The moon was fading and the sun was coming up. It was time to go to the sleeping forest. Misty had not slept at all. She didn't feel tired at all though. She walked towards the forest.
"Wait!"
Misty toward around.
Vincent and Cloud were standing there.
"What are you two doing here?"
"Aerith is missing." Vincent looked past Misty to the forest. "Cloud said she went to the city. She told him in his dream."
"Let's go." Misty walked to the forest. She brought out the Lunar Harp. The forest awoke. She continued forward. She noticed her white materia glowing a pale green but she continued towards the city. Misty got out the PHS. "Call Red or someone else to come and help us. I gotta do something." She tossed to phone to Vincent.
He called Barret. "Hey Barret send Red or someone into the forest and tell him to go to the city, thanks." He hung up. "What are you gonna do?"
Misty saw the city. It became visible through the thick trees of the forest. "I have to find someone."
"Here?" Vincent looked past Misty to see the city. "Nobody has entered or come out since… a long time."
"I know…" Misty stopped in the middle of a coral/seashell bridge.
They all looked up at the city in awe and astonishment. The city was made out of pure coral, seashells, and various sea related things. The city was beautiful and brightly colored in pastels and different hues of green. It wasn't cold or hot. The climate was perfect. Seashells were used as shelter, altars, shops, and various other types of things.
"It was once an underwater city." Misty looked around. "They said this is were the Ancients prayed for the Guardians, dead, dieing, living, sick, born, and gifted." She looked at Cloud. "The Guardians lived here too. Ancients and Guardians lived together before Jenova come. Guardians became the earths blood which became Mako which became Materia." Misty looked at her red materia. "They said the Materia is red because of the blood and tears for the earth shed by Guardians. But I believe it's for the rage against Jenova and it's harming the earth." She sighed and looked up. "…Angels deserve to die…" She walked into the pearl city.
Vincent and Cloud stood staring at her. Watching her walk into the brightly lit city. They stood there and waited for Red to show up.
Cloud, Vincent and Red walked to the very back of the city. There was a crystal blue lake and a spiky type white shell in back of it. It was all in the middle of what seemed to be a dead coral forest. The coral was dried of it color. All it was, was a washed out white. Red walked up to the water and sniffed it.
"This water is holy and pure. It hasn't been touched since the Ancients were here." Red XIII looked at the shell. "That must be a area were they worshipped." Red sniffed the air. "Aerith went in there."
Cloud went up to the doorway. "Are you sure? No one seems to be in there."
"I know, but this is were her scent leads to."
I wonder were Misty is… Vincent thought to himself.
Meanwhile…
It was a broken down auditorium. Had not been used in years. She walked in the room and saw a cylinder of stone in the middle of what seemed to be a platform. She looked across. In the middle of the room was an altar.
"Altar of Water…" Words quietly escaped her lips.
It looked like crystal. But it wasn't. It was some type of unknown mineral. It shined brightly with the small bit of sunlight that was shining through to roof. The light shined on the walls like water rippling. It was still in one piece unlike the rest of the room.
The shell steps were chipping away. The stone had calcium on it. It was rough. There were some pieces of debris on the right side of the platform she was standing on. She walked up to the cylinder of stone. There was a water fountain on the floor. There was a hole in the middle of it. She placed a piece of spiky coral into it. It began to spin. The altar's water began to run.
She walked to the edge of the platform and looked down. It was a long way down but water was at the bottom. She jumped over to the other side of the room. From the seats of the auditorium there was a thin walkway leading to the altar. She walked to the altar.
There were Ancient writings on the altar. Coral was sticking out of the side of it. Red coral was holding up the crystal type mineral up in place. She took off her materia necklace, got on her knees and closed her eyes. She prayed for Holy.
I'm here… hahahaha! A demonic voice entered her mind.
"Sephiroth…" She closed her eyes again. Aerith! She got up and ran to where Aerith was.
"Cloud! What the hell are you doing?!" Vincent was ready to attack him but he couldn't something was on his arm. "What the… Oh! Misty! Cloud he's trying to…"
Misty shook her head. "Sephiroth."
"Cloud told us to wait here and he'd get Aerith. She's been up there praying for god knows how long. Cloud was going up there and when he got to the Sun Altar he freaked!" Vincent looked at Misty in bewilderment.
Red growled. "I don't like this…"
Misty and Vincent turned their attention towards Cloud and Aerith.
Misty sensed something wrong. She looked all around. Sephiroth… where are you?! She looked up at the skylight in the roof.
Aerith looked up at Cloud and smiled.
Glass shattered and Sephiroth come down above Aerith.
"Aerith!!!" Misty ran toward the altar. "Sephiroth, no!!!"
Everything was going in slow motion. Sephiroth smiled and planted his long sword into Aerith's back. Aerith slumped forward all the life drained out of her. Her dark red blood spilled on the altars smooth marble floor. Sephiroth pulled his blade out easily and smiled. Aerith's White Materia fell out of her hair and bounced off the floor of the altar.
"Aerith!" Cloud and Misty yelled at the top of their lung.
"No!!!" Misty watched the materia fall on to the cylinder stairs. She reached out for it but Vincent pulled her back to prevent her from falling into the water below. The, now pale green, materia slipped through her hands and plunked into the water below. "AERITH!!!" Misty fell back and buried her face in her hands. She sobbed hard.
Aerith's blood poured off the altar and into the water below it making it a light shade of red. Cloud caught Aerith's body before it hit the floor.
"Aerith…" Cloud just cradled her bloody body against his chest. "Why Sephiroth?! Of all things!" He tightened his arms around her body. "She will never be able to talk, cry, laugh, get angry, smile…" Cloud laid her limp frail body gently on the marble floor.
Misty was crumpled on the floor crying. "Aerith…"
"All things bright and beautiful die. All things dim and ugly die. They all die. Just like you…" Sephiroth had his arms out has if he was going to be crucified. He was looking up at the skylight then brought his head down slowly and opened his eyes looking at Cloud. "She will be one with the earth now. She's in the life stream. She…" His long silver- blue hair blew in the wind.
Cloud cut Sephiroth off. "Shut up! You killed her! I she won't be one with the earth! She taught me how to love, smile, laugh… feel!"
Sephiroth laughed. "You? Feel? Ha! Preposterous! If it's one thing, you can't feel, think, or be…" He spun and shot into the sky. A piece of something fell and wiggled on the floor. "Because…" The wiggling thing transformed into Jenova- DEATH. It had red, sliver, black and purple jagged shoulders that reached out past it's tail and above it's head. It still had its "dress" for legs, but it was purple, silver and black. It was still tall and ugly as hell. It roared.
Cloud pulled out his sword once again. "You bastard!!!"
Red and Vincent left Misty on the ground. She was not able to battle. They fought for her. They went to their friend's side. They fought for Misty and Aerith.
Red summoned Fire 3.
Jenova- DEATH roared and smacked him, knocking him out.
Clouds limit began to charge up.
Vincent shot round after round at Jenova- DEATH.
While they were fighting Scarlet snuck in behind them. Misty was still sobbing on the floor cursing Sephiroth, herself and the world for killing Aerith. Scarlet saw a perfect chance to abduct her when she was for guard and when Cloud and the others where fighting. She quietly crept behind Misty. She quickly grabbed Misty by her arms and covered her mouth.
Misty was startled but did struggle with Starlet. She was to weak and was quickly dragged up the crystal glass stairs.
Cloud did his limit break, Meteorain, on Jenova- DEATH.
Jenova- DEATH gave one last roar then toppled onto the floor.
Jenova, human form, appeared. "Where's Misty? I thought she'd be here to put this one out of its misery too." Jenova smirked.
Cloud still had his sword drawn. "She's down there…" He snarled at Jenova.
Red was coming around.
Jenova laughed. "No she isn't." She pointed to were Misty was.
Cloud and Vincent turned around to see if Misty was there. She wasn't.
"Where is she?" Vincent pointed his gun and Jenova's forehead.
She laughed. "Your guess is as good as mine…" She looked out of the corner of her eye. "But, she may be with a friend that's and enemy to you."
Cloud cocked his head to the side. "What do you mean?"
"Go and find out…" Jenova walked away and disappeared.
Jenova- DEATH slowly got up. It roared then slashed at Cloud and Vincent.
Cloud jumped up and plunged his sword deep into the heart of the black, red, silver, and purple demon. Pink guck poured out of the wound. Vincent jumped down to where Misty was. She was not there.
Jenova- DEATH groaned one last time before it fell to the floor with a loud thud. "…You are a puppet…" Then it disappeared.
Cloud turned to Vincent. Vincent shrugged and shook his head. "She's not here…"
"Damn!" He looked at Aerith's pale limp body. "What are we gonna do with her body?" Cloud looked toward the crystal stairs that led up to the city.
He picked up Aerith's body and took it down the stairs slowly and carefully. Vincent and Red XIII were already waiting for him at the crystal type stairs. The city seemed so hollow now. It didn't have the fresh feel of life anymore. It smelled ragged and dead. It didn't smell of fresh flowers and ocean water. Instead it smelled like broken down fresh blood and sinew. It was nauseating.
He walked up the tall Crystal stairs following Red XIII and Vincent. Cloud's back began to hurt but he continued. "I'm gonna put her in the holy water. I just have a feeling about it." He finally made it to the top of the stairs out of breath. He walked out into the opening of the shell; the lake was no more then five feet away.
The lake was multihued against the sunlight that came in through the white dead coral. He stepped into the lake. The water wasn't cold like the outside of the coral. It was warm. He walked down until it was above his waist.
He lowered Aerith's body into the water. "Good bye…" He held tears back. He watched her body float off and down in the water.
"Misty my dear… Oh how I have missed you."
Misty sat in a wooden chair. Arms tied back, feet tied together and gagged with cloth. She tried to say something but all it can out as a muffled blur.
Rufus smiled. He had a sexy, sleek way of smiling. "I know I know. You rather be chewing me out to bits and slicing out my guts one by one instead of being tied up to that chair. But sorry, honey. I can't untie you even though I want to, but I can un-gag you if you wish." He stood in front of her. He was wearing what he always wore. A white coat, navy blue pants, and black Doc Martin's.
She glared at him then nodded slowly.
He nodded to two guards that were standing behind her sides heavily armed. They untied her gag.
Her head fell forward and she panted and tried to swallow has much saliva as she could.
He nodded again.
The guard on her right side moved forward with a water bottle in hand and shoved it in her mouth. She was surprised and choked on it, spitting out most of the water he squirted into her mouth. Then she finally drank the water and then pushed it way when she was done. She sat there breathing hard with her head down chunks of her hair fell in front of her face. Water was down the front of her black, sparkling, thin strap, evening gown.
"Such generosity." She looked up from her hair and growled. She looked around the room. They were at the top of the Shin-Ra building. It was Rufus's office. White walls, ceiling, and floor. Too clean and far too bright. It was bland. Only a few things stood out like some framed paintings on the walls and bookcases, there was also a black desk in the back middle of the room. Rufus was leaning on it and Misty was in the middle of the room, he was about five feet away from her. Behind the desk was a black counter with and black vase full of white and purple lilies, in front of white-blinded windows. The blinds were open and you could see the light polluted city, Midgar, and all of its sectors. Silence filled the room. Then a heavy sigh came from in front of her.
"You know, you shouldn't have ran from me."
Misty cocked her head to the right. "What?" She sounded irritated but she was far from, very far from.
"You should have never ran from me," He turned her right and walked behind the desk to the window. "We could have changed this depressing city. We could have mad it better, but now look what we have to do…" He reached over and pressed on button that was on the counter top. The blinds slowly lifted up. Now everything was more clear and bright. "We have to put Sister Ray here. You know the canon from Junon." He snapped his fingers.
The guards lifted Misty in her chair, which surprised her. Now she could see where they were putting Sister Ray. There were cranes attaching it to the building and putting it together.
"Oh my god Rufus…" She looked opened mouth at the construction. The guards put her back down.
He looked outside still tapping his fingers on the counter. "The Weapons are awake now." He turned towards her. "Nothing can stop them from destroying everything, but destroying them." Rufus looked at Misty with watery eyes. "Everything my father has worked for will be gone." The phone rang. Rufus sighed and rolled his eyes answering it, pushing the speaker button. "Hello?"
"Sir, Diamond Weapon is approaching the city! It's about two hours and forty mintues till our target range! We have to evacuate the city and building now sir!"
He looked at Misty. "Sound an All Level Red Alert across the building and evacuate the city sector by sector. Get all trains running on the track, and emergency elevators up and running and all stair wells open for city and building, but be sure the city is evacuated first."
"Yes sir! The helicopter will be waiting for you sir."
"If I'm not there within five minutes of the Weapon attack, go without me no arguments! Understood?"
It took awhile for the commander to give his answer. "Understood, sir."
Then the red went red and a siren with off. All personal please evacuate the building, this is not a drill. All personal please evacuate the building this is not a drill… The alarm continued. Then the siren went of and the speaker went quite for about ten minutes then sounded again but the red lights stayed on.
He hung up and looked at Misty. "You know, I always loved you, Misty."
Her face filled with anger and hate, but she realized that he meant it. "I've always looked at you as a big brother."
He nodded and smiled. "Yeah, I guess it would have never worked out." He laughed. Then looked down. "I'm sorry I've been acting like a big asshole. It was all on my father's part. I'm sorry."
"Sir, we need to get of the building now." The guard came forth to him. The only stood at the door.
He nodded. "Untie her."
The guard looked at Misty.
"DO IT!"
The guard nodded and walked over to Misty and untied her.
She was relived to have the strangling cloth taken off of her. She rubbed her wrist in her hands. She slowly stood up in her black stilettos.
"I'm sorry about your sister too."
She looked down. "Thank you." Knowing what he meant.
"Sir can we evacuate now?" The guard was sure pushy.
He nodded. "But escort her out. Make sure she gets out safe."
"Sir!"
Rufus looked at him. "Are you questioning me authority?!"
"No, Sir!"
"Then do as I say!"
"Will you…"
"I can find the way myself! I've only lived here all my life. Now, take her to helicopter two. Now GO!"
The guard looked at the other guard who was by the door shaking his head. "Yes, Sir!" He grabbed Misty's hand. "Let's go!"
She ripped it away from him and turned to Rufus. "Bye, Rufus. See you after all this." She hugged him then kissed his cheek.
He nodded. "Now follow General Rubain's orders."
Both guards paused and looked at each other. "General? First Class General?"
She and Rufus both nodded.
The guards saluted her.
"Cut the bull crap and let's go!" She ran for the door. The guards followed her.
"Misty!"
She turned around.
"You look really hot in that dress!"
She flipped him off, know that he didn't mean temperature wise. "See you at Costa Del Sol!" She shook her head and continued out the door.
"Hey and Misty!"
She turned around again.
"I just wanted to see you one last time and tell you how I felt."
"You'll see me again soon enough, Rufus." She saluted him then ran to catch up with the guards.
Diamond Weapon approaching the Midgar vicinity in… Forty minutes… Charging Sister Ray Canon to one hundred percent. Charging canon at Twenty percent… The female computers voice said it so mockingly.
Rufus heard Helicopter Two take off. He saw it fly over the canon and out towards Costa del Sol.
Twenty-five minutes till Diamond weapon… Charging canon at Sixty percent…
"Good bye, Misty…" He could see Diamond Weapon rise out of the oceans waters and slowly making it's way towards Midgar.
Ten minutes till fire at Diamond Weapon… Charging canon at Eighty-nine percent…
Rufus glared at Diamond Weapon. "Come an get it asshole…" He saw a bright glow come from Weapon. "Charging too, eh?"
Five minutes till blast… Charging canon at One hundred percent…
Rufus gripped the counter.
Commencing blast in… Five… Four… Three… Two… One…
Misty turned back to see Rufus's helicopter behind them and fly up next to them. Misty saw a bright light come from Midgar then fire and smoke. Misty's attention then turned towards the pilot and the guards that escorted her out.
"Is he ok?" Asked the guard that was being pushy.
The pilot shook his head.
"Damn!" The guard slammed his fist down on the seat.
Misty sat back in her seat in shock. "No…" Then a phone rang. She looked around then under her black leather seat. There was her old black SOLDIER backpack. The phone was inside. She pulled it out from under the seat. She opened the bag and out fell a paper. It was the PHS ringing. It stopped though. She read the paper. "Oh my god…" The paper slid out of her hands. The helicopter was landing.
It was the day after the attack. Misty had gotten a hold of Cloud and told him what happened and where she was, he said he'd meet her at Costa del Sol and they'd go for Sephiroth from there. Misty was standing out in an open field of wild flowers with Cloud, Tifa, Cid, Yuffie, & Vincent. Their Gold, and single Black, Chocobos were standing close by, eating some Tantal Greens. Everyone was standing in a circle deciding where to head next.
"I think we should head back towards Midgar and see what's left." Tifa suggested.
Misty and Cloud nodded in agreement.
Misty sighed. "I wonder if Rufus made it."
Cloud shook his head. "Why?"
Misty looked down. "I didn't escape… He let me go… He knew this was gonna happen, he said he just wanted to see me one last time and tell me how he truly felt." Misty shook her head. "I feel bad I couldn't convince him to come, but he said he had to stay until it all fell down. Then he gave me this…" Misty reached into her small hand sack and pulled out a two small round pieces of materia. One white and the other one a pale frosted blue. She held them out so everyone could see. "The white is my mother's, he stole it from his father for me and the pale blue… it was Sephiroth's…"
Vincent picked up the small pale blue materia. He stared at it. "This is such a rare materia. It only grows in…" His voice trailed off. "It grows in the earths core. And it's a myth that the high priest of Ancients had this type… Maybe his ancestor…"
Misty grabbed the materia back and tucked both of them safely into her pocket. "I dunno, but we gotta go back to Midgar and see if we can find anything else."
"But what about your clothes?" Tifa cocked her head to the side a little. "You in… a evening gown." Tifa raised her eyebrow.
Misty shrugged. "I'll buy some in Midgar."
Someone whistled at them.
They all turn around to face the Chocobos. The Chocobos we're all bobbing their heads and cooing.
Misty squinted her eyes and walked out and forward a bit to see who it was. A man, dressed in black, on a Gold Chocobo. She did a quick head count on the Chocobos. They were all there. "Sephiroth?"
He pulled out his sword and pointed in the air then at Misty. Misty swore he winked at her. He pulled back on the Chocobos rains and made him charge forward at Misty and the group. Everyone but Misty moved back. Her eyes grew big. He came, smiling, closer and closer and closer and swipe! With his sword cutting her dresses straps perfectly. Misty gasped in shock and anger then grasped the dresses top before it fell reviling her.
"Sephiroth!!!" Misty screamed at him. Tifa was tying the straps back behind her neck. While she was doing that, Misty whistled for her Black Chocobo. "Come on, Chikao!!!" Her Chocobo came running as she grabbed his reins and jumped on while he was running.
Sephiroth a waited a bit for Misty then began to run on his Chocobo, up a small hill. Misty followed pulling out one of her swords.
"Argh! Sephiroth!!!" She was pissed. She ran up the same hill. "Come on Chikao. You can beat him." She talked softly into his ear and petted him, giving him more confidence. As she came up over the hill she stopped at the top eyeing Sephiroth about two hundred yards away. She glared at him. "Go Chikao!!!" She raised her sword up in the air and took aim on Sephiroth while Chikao charged.
Sephiroth rolled his eyes smiling and began to charge towards Misty with his sword up pointing at her.
They both charged at each other with speed. By that time everyone else was on their Chocobos, watching from the top of the hill.
As the two were about to collide, Sephiroth threw down his sword. Misty was in shock, but Sephiroth put his arm out knocking her off her Chocobo instead.
Misty flipped off backwards and laid stunned in the field's tall wild flowers and grass. She saw a big black blur in front of her. She shook her head and regained focus. It was Chikao stooping over her. She raised her arm and petted him on the back of his neck. He cooed. Then Misty jumped up and saw, Sephiroth getting off his Chocobo. Enraged, Misty stomped towards Sephiroth. "You asshole!!!" She yelled at the top of her lungs. "How could you do that to me!?"
He stood next to his Chocobo with his arms crossed in front of him and a smirking smile on his face. "Easy." He smirked. "You have something I want."
Misty dug her nails into her palm. "That's all you came to say?! All that, and you tell me I have something you want?! Well, Sephiroth, fuck you!!!" She was as red as a ripe tomato in February.
Sephiroth smiled. "You know, you're cute when you're mad." He grabbed her a pulled her close and planted a hard wet kiss on her lips, which caught her off guard. "But you'd look even cuter like this." He pulled the tied straps and let her black velvet dress fall to the ground.
Her eyes grew big again and she gasped. "Y-y-y-you!!!" She stuttered and bent over quick to pick up her dress. She heard everyone else snickering. She peered over Sephiroth's shoulder and glared at everyone, then she glared at Sephiroth. "How dare you…" She shook her head and began to back away slowly, tying her straps again.
He smiled and leaned towards her and whispered in her ear. "I think you need some new clothes." He stepped back and took off his trench coat and wrapped it around her. He got on his Chocobo then lifted her on and cradled her in his arms. "We'll be back!" He turned towards the others then ran off with Chikao hastily following behind. Sephiroth noticed this, but pretended not to.
Misty stayed curled up in Sephiroth's arm and looked out. "Where are we going?" She looked up at him.
"Midgar. You do need some new clothes and I do want my materia back." He looked down at her and gave her a half smile. "Besides, I want to see how go your Chocobo is anyways."
Misty gave him a questioning look then heard Chikao cry out to her. She raised herself enough to see around Sephiroth's arm. "Chikao!!!" She tried to push herself off but Sephiroth held her back.
"You wanna die?" He slowed his Chocobo down then stopped next to a forest. He put Misty down. "There. Happy?"
Misty ignored him and ran to her Chocobo. "Chikao! I didn't expect you to follow! I was hoping you'd stay with Cloud and the others!" She nuzzled his head next to hers while petting him.
He cooed.
Misty sighed. "I guess there is no way of teaching you to stay behind." She gave him a Reagen Green. He gobbled it down with pleasure and cooed. Misty patted him on the head and turned to Sephiroth, who was staring at her smiling. "What?"
Sephiroth just shrugged. "You've had Chikao for a long time. I surprised you remembered him." Sephiroth walked towards Chikao and petted him. Sephiroth's Chocobo growled. "Hush, Aya." He petted Chikao. "Remember me Chikao?"
Chikao stepped back and bobbed his head a little then squawked. He looked at Misty then back at Sephiroth. He stepped close to Sephiroth and pushed him lightly with his head.
Sephiroth smiled and petted him. "You do remember."
Misty gave Aya a Gysahl Green. Then she felt dizzy and sick. Misty grabbed the side of her head. "Ugh…Not again…" She passed out into her memory world. Chikao ran to her side and laid next her cooing and pushing her for her to wake up.
Sephiroth stood next to them both.
Misty was sitting in her penthouse next to the fire. It was Christmas. She saw a brightly lit and decorative tree in the right corner next to her. She was just staring into the fire thinking. Shin-Ra had given them time off for Christmas. Misty and Sephiroth decided to spend it together before they went off to the Wutai War.
Sephiroth was late. He must have stay behind at the office. Misty thought to herself then she heard the jingle of his keys at the door. She looked out of the corner of her eye. "Sephiroth!?" She called after him.
He stumbled and stuttered. "I-I-I'll be…ouch! Right then honey, don't… Ow!! Worry! Oww!" He walked to the back of the house then came back. "Hello." He squatted next the Misty. He turned her head gently towards him and kissed her. "I have a surprise for you." He smiled devilishly.
Misty raised her right eyebrow. "What?" She was curious but somewhat afraid. After her last birthday surprise, she was bound to be afraid. "Don't tell me you got me another stripper?"
Sephiroth laughed. "No, it's not that bad! It's not like your birthday surprise!"
Misty leaned back and gave him an oh-really look. "So if it's not a stripper or you in your birthday suit… then…" She edged on.
Sephiroth smiled evilly. "Hehe, well, me in my b-day suit is for later but that's not the point." He got up and went back to the bedroom and came back with something under his trench coat.
"Oh really??" Misty got up. "Well, what is it?!" She was acting like a little girl waiting for Santa to come. She was practically jumping up and down.
Sephiroth laughed. "Calm down, you might scare it!" He sat down on the floor Indian style.
Misty cocked her head to the right. "What?" Misty sat down like that too.
Sephiroth slowly opened his coat reviling a small black poof of feathers. He smiled. "I bought him from Bill. He raised it for me."
Misty smiled and looked at Sephiroth. "So that's why you had been going over there a lot."
Sephiroth nodded. "Yeah, I knew you wanted one, so I figured why not give it to her Christmas." He handed her the ball of fluffed feathers. "You can hold him his yours after all."
Misty took him and cooed at him. She was getting teary eyed. "Thank you, Sephiroth." She placed the tiny Chocobo in her lap and hugged Sephiroth trying not to squish the Chocobo. "He so beautiful." She looked back at the Chocobo. He was looking at her and squawked. She petted him lightly with her index finger.
Sephiroth watched on. "What are you going to name him?"
Misty smiled and looked at him. "Chikao." She looked at Sephiroth then kissed him.
Misty woke up gasping for air. She was in tub with water up to her the temples' of her head. She panicked and grabbed the sides of the tub and shot up. She screamed. Sephiroth walked in and kneeled next to her.
"Shhh." He combed her hair back. "Calm down." He got Misty a towel and wrap it around her. "We're in Midgar. Chikao is here too."
Misty was in pure shock. She shivered and looked at Sephiroth. She recognized the bathroom. It was a bit dingy but it looked the same. "We're…" She shivered and it wasn't even cold. She felt as if she was trapped in ice. Not even the warmth of Sephiroth's body warmed her like it did before. She was in the house that Sephiroth gave Chikao to her. She shuttered.
Sephiroth lifted her out of the bathtub. "Come on, let's put on some clothes." He carried her to the bedroom a placed her on the bed. It was clean. "I bought you some clothes while you were dreaming." He went to the closet and pulled out a pair of black leather pants, black under garments, black leather spaghetti strap shirt, and a pair of black lace and buckle shin high boots. It was like the SOLDIER outfit she wore many years ago. "Here." He put them on the bed. "Put them on."
Misty looked at the clothes and then him. Her lower lip was trembling. "It's a SOLDIER outfit…" She picked up the under garments and put them on.
Sephiroth sighed. "Get use to it." He walked out of the room.
Misty stared at the clothes and sighed. She put them on while looking around the room. Most of the furniture was covered up in white sheets, which were covered in dust. After She put on her boots she went to her old dresser. Opened the top drawer. She saw a white and baby blue tank top. Honey Bee Inn. Was entitled in silver on the front of it. It was a small bumblebee placed in the middle. She picked it up and when she touched it she remembered what happened.
"Hey Mis… I mean… Hey Miya!"
Misty turned around in her short black skirt and white and baby blue "honey bee" tank top. The heel of her black stilettos clicked on the hard pavement. She chewed on pink bubble gum and flicked a chunk of dark brown hair out of her eye. "What?" She had an urban ghetto accent. It was her friend Ivy.
Ivy walked up to her. She had a black one-piece short velvet dress on and black stilettos. "How's business?" She smiled and flipped her over hair sprayed, puffy, curly, brown hair. She straightened out her dress, which kept inching up her thighs. "It's still pretty early tonight."
Misty shrugged. "It's ok. I haven't had one customer tonight. Don is gonna be pissed." She bit her lower lip.
"It's ok." Ivy grabbed Misty's chin and kissed her on the lips. "It's your first night out and your fresh, it'll be like that till maybe you get moved back into the Inn." She smiled and kissed Misty a little harder. She slid her tongue into Misty's mouth and played with her tongue.
Misty kissed back and sucked on Ivy's tender tongue, then pulled away slowly.
Ivy smiled while licking her lips of Misty's saliva. "Don't worry about it. But yourself." She slid her hand under Misty's skirt and rubbed her inner thigh. "Just relax. Besides, if you don't get any hits you can make it up to Don. I'll help you." She felt Misty's body shiver a bit. "But you just being here, so young, tender, and a runaway. Don I'll love you until you fuck up on him, so don't worry." Ivy walked back to her post. "Here comes a customer. Be your sexy hot self!"
Misty nodded nervously and shook her hair then pushed out her boobs. The car pulled up next to her. Misty cleared her throat. "Hey baby, wanna have some fun?" She smiled teasingly and winked. She leaned on the car door pushing her boobs out more. She chewed the gum.
A shadow covered the man, then he reached over and pulled the gum out of her mouth and threw it to the side. "That's a dirty habit. Chew with your mouth closed at least." He pulled something out of his pocket. "Have you seen this girl? She's about 5'9", dark brown hair, grayish purple eyes, loved very much by a Shin-Ra first class SOLDIER who as been looking for her non-stop." He moved into the light. The light bounced off his silky silver hair. He looked up at her. His eyes gleamed in the light.
Misty stumbled back a bit. "Sephiroth..." Slowly poured from her lips and onto the floor. A tear fell from her Mako burned eye.
Ivy ran to her side. "Miya!"
Sephiroth stepped out of the car. "It's Misty. Call her by her real name." He kneeled next to Misty. "Misty… I finally found you after three weeks. I have not slept, ate, or thought about anything else when you ran away." He grabbed her hand. "And now I'm going to take you home." He kissed her. "I love you, Misty. After our next and last mission we'll be married." He smiled. "I'm ready now."
Misty smiled and hugged him. "I love you Sephiroth, I love you…"
Misty snapped back into the real world when she heard a door shut. No one was in the house. She listened. Nothing. She walked over to her closet and opened it. She saw her black cape, like Sephiroth's, hanging in front of her. She got it and put it on. She walked over to a mirror and looked at her reflection.
"I look like I'm in SOLDIER…" She straightened herself out and shrugged. "Oh well." She saw her katana's on the bed in their holsters. She put them on and looked on the window. She was ten-stories above the ground. There was a balcony. She walked out to it and looked out. Rubble was scattered everywhere. "Shit…" There was nothing left. "So much for finding you, Rufus." Smoke raised from piles of rubble scattered everywhere.
