When Usagi meet Sephiroth
By: Sephy-Kun
Love, Love is defined as an intense affectionate concern for another person, or a strong fondness for someone. Everyone knows or has an idea of what love is. But what causes it?, Blindness?, Fate?, one's loneliness inside them cause them to perceive someone else as special?, is it a strange phenomenon that can't be explained? Is it the person who saved your life suddenly miened as a beloved?, or is it because you two are soul mates and you found eachther? Well what if the reason was all of these factors, but then what? What does love bring?, why it could bring happiness, sadness, anger, warmth in your heart, frustration, depression, fun, fear, excitement, love-sickness, bright futures, or even life. What if it was all of those things?, would the two lovers be made for each other? But what makes them fall in love?, the fact that they have things in common?, or are they totally opposites? Are they total strangers?, Did they start out as enemies, or as friends?
Try to imagine all of these elements combined, because all of these elements make up the love between Usagi and Sephiroth. Now, our story takes place in 2010, Usagi is 21 years old and is a junior who's attending the Kappa Collage. She has her Bachelors degree in Literature and is now aiming for her master's degree. She lived by herself in a house in the countryside of Tokyo, No, not cows and farm land, but Forests and tree's with green grassy all around. Since retiring from being Sailor Moon, her and her friends have went their separate ways, searching for their own destinies, but Usagi still has friends. She has remained single and hasn't dated a guy since the disappearance of Mamoru when she was 14. Yet she somehow continued on with life, and since she hasn't been Sailor Moon in nearly 7 years, she doubts if she even has those powers anymore. Usagi's parents are both deceased, and her Cat died a few years ago. Luckily, Usagi's life was normal, no more fighting monsters from the other world. Still she misses some of the things she did when she was 14 and longs for excitement in her life.
Our story begins on the morning of August 30th, Usagi's last day of Summer Vacation. She finished her schedule for this semester and wrote her 8 page essays for English. Usagi gets a glass of water and walks outside through the forest, when she looks up and sees a light in the sky. At first she thinks it's a shooting star during the day, and it's some rare occasion, but as she watched, she saw it fall right into the middle of the forest near the river. she felt the tremors that shook the earth when the object collided with the earth's surface, and she fell to her knee's, and she scraped them against the rough dirt. She also dropped her glass of water, and the glass shattered as it fell on a rock that was near. Usagi then got up carefully and tried her hardest not to step on the glass. Once she got to her feet, she wondered into the forest to see what could have fallen from the sky and onto the earth. "What could that have been?" Usagi then walked towards the area where the object crashed.
When Usagi got there, she gasped and put her hand to her mouth. "Oh my god, what the heck happened, did a meteor strike?" Usagi then walked closer to the giant crater in the ground and watched the water flow down into the hole. She got closer and looked down in the dismal crater, and as the water flowed down, she saw a figure lying there inside the hole. Usagi cupped her hands over her mouth, "Hello there!" Usagi blinked, "Can you hear me?" Usagi thought, "Oh he must be unconscious." Usagi squinted her eyes and looked down further and saw the water beginning to cover the person. "Oh god, that persons gonna drown!" Usagi then crawled down into the Crater and grabbed the guy as he was sinking. She dragged him up a little and placed him on the gravel above the water so he could breathe. She then looked and saw that she could drag him out to the left, so she dragged him out, as he remained unconscious. Usagi placed the man on the grass and kneeled up to him. She began to think, "What should I do? I can't just leave him like this, maybe he just needs CPR." Usagi then plugged his nose with her fingers, opened the guys mouth while taking a deep breath, then put her lips to his and blew into him. She pressed on his chest repeatedly. She continued to do this until the guy began to cough.
Usagi then smiled and greeted the guy as he began to come to. "Hello there sir, are you feeling better?" The man slowly opened his green eyes and focused them on her. "You almost drown Sir, I hope your feeling better." The man then sat up and turned his head to face Usagi. Usagi blinked and looked at the guy, "Um can you speak Sir? or did the crash damage you in some way?" The man then stood up and Usagi asked more questions, "How did you survive a Crash like that anyways sir?" The man then turned to face Usagi while she stood up and looked at him. Usagi thought to herself, Man this guy won't even talk to me." The man looked up then back at Usagi and grunted. "Um, what is it sir?" The man then charged at Usagi and she gasped in surprise as he bolted at her. He then tackled her into a bush. The man then got up off of Usagi and she sat up and frowned. "Why did you do that!" Usagi then looked where she was standing and saw a smaller hole in the ground. Usagi blinked and the guy smiled at her. "Thanks for saving me but we have to get out of here". Usagi blinked, "What do you mean?" The man then grinned, "I'm being chased by a dangerous assassin who wants to kill me." Usagi got up and blinked, "Whaaaaat!" The man then got a serious look on his face, "It's true I tell you, we have to run." The man then grabbed the girl's hand and began to run through the forest with her running behind him.
Usagi stopped and the Man stopped as well, then looked at her. "I don't believe we're being chased by anything!" The man smiled, "Oh no, well look behind you." Usagi turned around and saw a monster horns, wing, and a purple figure. The monster resembled what most pictured as Satan. Usagi shrieked and the man grabbed her hand and darted off as she ran with him. "W-Where did that come from?" "It was with me the whole time!"
"What!?"
"Yeah, it chased me here."
The Man then ran out of the woods and towards a house while smiling. "Hey, there's a house we can hang out at." Usagi looked at him while running, "That's MY house!" The man then ran up to the house and went through the door and closed the door after pulling Usagi in. Usagi then stopped for a couple of seconds and buckled at her knee's while breathing heavily. Usagi then looked up at the man, "um, how is my door going to stop that thing?" The man smiled at her,
"It's not."
"WHAT!!!"
The Demon then crashed through and Usagi screamed as the man ran, she then followed him up the stairs as the demon ran after them. The man then ran to the end of the house on the 2nd floor and opened the window at the end of the hall. The man then jumped out the window and down onto a pile of leaves, and Usagi jumped as well without any second thought. After they both landed on the soft leaves that somewhat broke their fall, they got up. "ha..ha… Is it over?" The man looked up, "Not quite." The demon then crashed out of the house and fell down towards them. Usagi and the man then ran with the demon still chasing after them.
As the two ran on the grasslands and up a hill as the Demon chased them, Usagi had a terrified expression on her face while the man was smiling. They ran up the hill and Usagi hid behind a giant rock and the man hopped up in the tree. The Demon then caught up and looked around for the two and couldn't find them. Just then, the man fell from the tree and landed on top of the Demon. He ripped the horns on the Demon's back head then hopped of the demon onto the grass. The Demon then suddenly vanished. Usagi walked out from behind the rock and next to the man. Usagi looked at the man, "Who are you?" The man smiled, "Why, I'm a captive from the moon who was chased down onto the earth by this assassin." Usagi blinked, "A demon is an assassin?"
"Yup."
Usagi looked confused, "How?" The man grinned, "Because a man appeared where the demon disappeared."
Usagi looked at the bright red glow t and watched the glow take the shape of a man. When the glow faded, she could see a person lying there. Usagi gasped in surprise, "How could that person have appeared out of no where?" The person was scrambling around on the ground with his eyes closed. He then opened his eyes and stood up and looked at Usagi and the other guy. He then pulled out a gun and pointed it at the guy next to Usagi. Usagi's eye's widened after the glimpse of the gun, and the man next to her just smirked as he crossed his arms. The man held the gun firmly and began to speak, "You, the Demonic Sephiroth, halt right there, don't move unless you wanna be shot!" Usagi looked at the guy curiously, "Demonic Sephiroth, I think you're missing the fact that you're an assassin." The guy looked at Usagi, "Stay out of this miss, my name is Vincent Valentine, and it is my duty to make sure this mass-murderer stay confined." Usagi blinked and looked at Sephiroth, "Mass murderer!?"
Usagi noticed that Vincent had a golden claw on his left arm instead of a hand, and she was beginning to get freaked out by this guy. Sephiroth grinned, "Well you spoiled my fun Vinny, I was planning on not to hurt anyone, but since you've decided to make introductions, I'd better make mine!" Sephiroth's green eye's turned red as he grinds his teeth and uncross his arms. Usagi then backed away from Sephiroth as he began to emit a black Ki. "I'm warning you Sephiroth, don't move!" Sephiroth grinned, "Amuse me." Vincent then began to open fire and Usagi closed her eyes. The bullets then just disintegrated as they flew towards Sephiroth. Sephiroth then drew a sword and charged at Vincent and Usagi closed her eyes and curled up into a ball as she heard a battle rage on. She heard metal clash and gun shots fired, she even heard someone screaming in pain.
When Usagi opened her eye's she saw Sephiroth with a foot on top of Vincent and his sword at the man's neck. "Now you die Vincent, may hell have mercy on both of your souls." Usagi then ran over to Sephiroth and pushed him back, "NO!" Sephiroth looked at her angrily and raised his sword. "Get out of the way girl!"
"No, I will not let you kill him!"
"He deserves it"
"No, Killing is WRONG!"
"What do you know!?"
"I know how to live a moral life!"
"Whatever, you're just wasting my time."
Usagi then felt the anger in her rise as she began to shout. "Look here Mr. Sephiroth, I don't know who you are or where you came from, but I know you're about to take a life, and it is not right for a human to take another human's life!"
"Who said I was human?"
"Well whatever you are, you don't take something that's not rightfully yours!"
"Don't make me kill you too!"
"Go ahead, you'll have to kill me to kill him!"
"Fine, Farewell!"
As Sephiroth brung his sword down to take Usagi's life.. he stopped. Sephiroth blinked and looked into her blue eyes and froze. He shook his head and tried again, and stopped again. Usagi gulped, "What's wrong, why won't you kill me?" Sephiroth looked down and stuck his sword in the ground, "I can't." Usagi's heart was pounding, she thought for sure she was going to die, and she watched as Sephiroth withdrew his sword and looked down. Sephiroth thought to himself, "Why couldn't I kill her? Why? I've never acted like this before, has being locked away for all these years caused me to lose my killers touch?"
Usagi then turned to Vincent and helped him up. "Thanks ma'am." Usagi smiled, "Call me Usagi." The man then looked at Sephiroth, "I still have to tend to my duties." Sephiroth glared at Vincent, "I am NOT going to be held prisoner again!"
"Well since you can't help but kill people and cause chaos, you have to be locked up to ensure the worlds safety."
Sephiroth then frowned while Usagi looked at him. "Is that true, are you a murderer?" Sephiroth looked at her, "So I killed a few people, it's not that big a deal." Usagi then shook her head and looked down. "You are coming with me Sephiroth."
"No I'm not, I'm not a killer anymore, all I wish is to live in peace."
"Yeah right, nice try, you'll never change you…"
"Everyone is capable of changing Vincent, there's not just one road in life."
Usagi started, "I bet he could change like he said." Sephiroth grinned, "Yeah, don't you know it." Vincent looked at her, "Fine then, I'll leave him with you." Usagi blinked, "With me!?"
"Yes, you will make sure of his commitment." Usagi then started to re-think what she said, "But wait a minute, what if he doesn't change, I don't want.."
"He's all yours."
Without another word, Vincent ran off and disappeared out of sight while Usagi was left there standing in disbelief. Usagi then turned around to face Sephiroth as he smiled. "So now what?" Usagi blinked, "um..Sephiroth, you won't kill me will you?" Sephiroth smiled, "Of course not, Like I said, I've changed." Usagi walked towards the house as he followed, "Really?"
"Yeah, guess that's what being trapped on the moon for over a couple of decades does." Usagi's eyes opened in surprise, "a couple of decades!?!?!?" Sephiroth smiled, "Yup."
"H-How did you survive?" Sephiroth looked up, "Well, I've been asleep all of that time, so that helped me get by." Usagi listened as she walked towards the house with him, "and being trapped in limbo has increased my power, so that's how I was able to break free."
"Oh I understand.. I think.."
When they reached the house Sephiroth smacked his head and Usagi looked at him, "What?"
"I'm sorry, I forgot to thank you for helping me!"
"Oh."
Usagi looked down and blushed, "It was nothing really."
"Well thanks anyways." Usagi then smiled up at him, "Your welcome."
"Oh yeah, and I'll fix that part of your house where the Demon crashed." Usagi continued to smile, "You don't have to do that Sephiroth,"
"Oh but I must." Sephiroth then smiled, "oh.. and forgive me for not introducing myself, my name is Sephiroth."
"Well I forgot to introduce myself as well, so don't worry about it. My name is Usagi." Sephiroth smiled, "Usagi eh, pretty name." Usagi blushed a bit, "Thanks.. your name sounds cool." Sephiroth grinned, "Seems you turn red easily." Usagi blushed more, "Yeah.. I'm not to proud of myself when I get like this." Sephiroth walked away while he said, "Well I'm gonna fix that wall, I'll meet you inside the house." Usagi smiled, "Ok, I'll keep it unlocked." As Sephiroth walked to the side of the house, Usagi walked inside the house. Usagi then leaned against the door, "Man I don't know if I can trust this guy, Vincent called him a mass-murderer, and that's not too pleasant a title." Usagi then walked over to the couch, "Well, I did bring this upon myself, and I made this guy my responsibility, so I guess it'll be ok." Usagi then sat down on the couch, "Come to think of it, Sephiroth didn't kill me when he could have, so maybe things will be fine." Usagi then stretched out and lied on the couch, "I'm not too sure though, I guess I'll find out soon enough though." Usagi then began to nap peacefully.
Sephiroth hovered up to the hole in the wall and stood in mid-air while looking at it. "Hmm, doesn't seem that bad." Sephiroth then walked inside the hole into the house and looked all around the hole. "Hah, I can fix this mess!" Sephiroth then picked up a hammer and banged it against the wall many times, creating a lot of ruckus. Usagi opened her eyes and moaned a bit, "Man, its loud.. my head is pounding." Sephiroth then snapped his fingers and the wall was instantly fixed. "There, nothin like a job well done." Sephiroth then walked over to the stairs, and walked down to the main floor. Usagi looked over the couch and blinked in surprise, "You're done already!?" Sephiroth smiled, "Yup."
"Wow!, that's amazing!"
"Nah, not really."
Sephiroth walked over to the chair and set down. "Man, I guess I should get this guy talking, so he hopefully won't act out any kinda violent nature," Usagi thought. Sephiroth put his feet up on the coffee table and Usagi looked at his feet. "Excuse me!?" Usagi started.
"Hmm?"
"Don't do that in my house Sephiroth." Sephiroth's feet then slid off the table and he looked at her with a mischievous grin. "My fault entirely Miss Usagi."
"Call me Usagi, please?"
"Heh, no problem."
Usagi then took a moment to think about what to say next, then when she began to talk, Sephiroth interrupted her. " I was born in 1950, a few years after the Second World War, my parents are Hojo and Lucrecia, and you don't need to know how I maintained my 25 year old stature for so many years." Usagi blinked, "Did you read my mind?" Sephiroth grinned, "No, I have no ESP, I merely anticipated you to ask a meaningless question like that." Usagi looked at him angrily, "I don't think it's meaningless." Sephiroth closed his eyes and looked down, "But it is my dear Usagi, especially since you think this little chat of ours is just a ruse to keep me from killing you.." Sephiroth then looked up at her with his cold green eye's starring directly into her pearl blue eyes. "Am I right Usagi?." Sephiroth then stood up as Usagi was shaking a little, "But remember this my little Usagi, I don't over-look anything, and I'm not a amentia, I can easily read your mind like an open book." Usagi felt her whole body trembling with fear and she shook violently on the couch.
Sephiroth then shattered the cold look on his face with a blithe smile and he looked at Usagi. "But you have nothing to fear Usagi, for if I were to kill you, I'd have done it from the very start." Usagi murmured, "Yeah, I guess." Sephiroth then got up and walked into the kitchen and brought out a cup of coffee and placed it on the coffee table as he sat down next to Usagi. "Drink up Usagi, It'll ease your startled body."
Usagi reached out and grabbed the coffee, she brung it to her lips and took a sip and held it close to her, basking in the warm heat that stroked her face.
"So tell me a little about yourself Usagi," Sephiroth asked. Usagi blinked in curiosity and placed the coffee cup down, "About me?"
"Yes, I am interested to know a little bit about you."
Usagi smiled a bit, "well there's not much to tell really."
"Oh come now, sure the great Sailor Moon has some personal information to share."
Usagi looked at him and was going to speak, but was cut off.
"Yes I know you are Sailor Moon, I've been on the moon, and I wasn't totally asleep and incognizant to what was happening in the world."
Usagi then corrected him, "I was Sailor Moon, I don't have the power now because it's been so long since I've used it." Sephiroth then took awhile and responded with only a, "I see."
The next couple of hours Usagi told Sephiroth everything about her to her parent's names, her old friends, some of her adventures, her lover, and what she's been doing recently. Sephiroth listened and became interested in Usagi.
"You've had a very interesting life." Usagi looked down, "Yeah I guess, but not anymore." Sephiroth smiled, "That's why I said had." Usagi then remembered something and looked up at Sephiroth. "Wait a minute, you said that you knew I was Sailor Moon, but how did you know? I thought you were sealed away on the moon and kept under extreme surveillance."
"Easy, I processed a clone that fit the characteristics of a Sarrah and lied dormant on earth."
Usagi then began to grow even more curious. "So you knew of things happening on earth, and this clone of yours, was he as powerful as you?" Sephiroth closed his eyes, "No, he had no strength at all. I guess you could say he was my eye's on earth.."
"So you were saving all of your power at full right?" Sephiroth opened his eyes and smiled, "Of course, It's just awhile ago I got enough strength to break out of that barrier." Usagi grinned, "You know what I'm going to say don't you?"
"Yes, and that reason I'll tell you later If I feel like it, I'll tell you this though, I'm still not completely sure myself." Usagi blinked, "I don't understand." Sephiroth smiled, "But of course you don't Usagi, you cannot begin to comprehend."
"Oh and I suppose you know all about it?"
"I've heard rumors."
"So you know nothing about it really?"
"I know that there are unexplained phenomenons that occur in the world, and this is one of them." Usagi looked at him, "huh?"
Sephiroth then got a serious look on his face and looked up, "It doesn't sound like I could have done it myself. I guess I'll have to find some and test it to see if I have overcome my weakness." Usagi then sipped on her coffee some more, "I have NO idea what you're talking about." Sephiroth laughed, "I told you you wouldn't begin to understand what I was talking about." Usagi then boldly said, ""I'd like to hear your story." Sephiroth looked at her, "What do you mean 'story'?"
"Your story of Murder, and why you killed so many people?"
Sephiroth got up off the couch without a word and walked upstairs, while Usagi watched him and was left dumb-founded. Usagi then stretched, "Oh well, I've had enough crazy talk for one night." Usagi looked at her watch and nearly fell over, "IT'S 8:37 PM!!!" Usagi then sprung up and ran upstairs. "Man I can't believe I spent practically the entire day talking to this guy!" She ran in her room and sat down at her desk. "I have to finish reading the rest of this book before class starts tomorrow." Usagi picked up the book and began to slowly read it, trying not to think of everything that just occurred.
Sephiroth.. an Enigma born in the 1950's. His mother Lucrecia disappeared after his birth and his father Hojo went on to become a scientist for the Head of shinra's Science department. Sephiroth was an unusually gifted kid, he was always stronger than the other boys while growing up were, it took more to make him bleed, his wounds healed in no time, and he was exceptionally bright. The reason being is that he was no more than an experiment conducted by Hojo. After he impregnated Lucrecia, he injected her with Jenova Cell's, which is the cause of Sephiroth's mystical abilities. But it is said that all good things bear a price. The Jenova Cell's influenced Sephiroth's mind, causing him to become a warped, Sadistic, Homicidal Maniac that would kill anyone or anything that stood in his path. Hundreds and Thousands of Villages were destroyed, and millions of people were slaughtered due to Sephiroth. A resistance group that called themselves "Avalanche" they tried to defeat him but failed. Sephiroth's downfall then came to by the wishes and use of the white materia by a girl named Aeris. He was imprisoned on the moon because that is where the alleged "White Materia" was home to, and would supposedly drain him of his powers, but failed due to the clone created on earth, which helped his power persevere. After years of imprisonment, his evilness inside the Jenova Cell's died. Although, the power of the Black Materia that he had aquired in his previous still remain's strong. The release of Sephiroth could very well mean, the end of everything we know.
The next day, Usagi woke up early to prepare herself for the day ahead of her. She took a shower, put on clothes fresh out of the dryer, ate a wholesome breakfast and sat down on the couch and skimmed through her book. After she was done, she lowered the book and saw Sephiroth standing there in front of her looking at her.
"Good morning" Usagi said, and Sephiroth greeted her similar.
"So, today you're going back to collage?"
"Yeah, that's why I'm making sure everything's perfect." Sephiroth reached down and snagged a red apple put of the basket on her kitchen counter and bit into it. "So what will you be doing while I'm at Collage Sephiroth?" Sephiroth continued to eat the apple, "I don't know." Usagi looked at him seriously, "Well whatever you do, you have to stay inside the house?" Sephiroth grinned, "Whatever you say Ma'am." Usagi gave him a look, "Don't call me that, and I'm Serious Sephiroth, If you're my responsibility then I don't want you causing any trouble." Sephiroth smiled and looked down, "Heh.. No faith in me at all eh." "Well It's kinda hard to trust someone who you just met that is a murderer who's been alive since 1944!" Sephiroth tossed the apple core in the trash, "I can see your point." Sephiroth then looks up at Usagi and smiled, "Don't worry, I'll be a good boy and I won't cause you any hassle." Usagi smiled, "Good."
Usagi looked at the clock, "8:49.. Well I gotta go now." Sephiroth looked up at her, "Ok, see ya later then." Usagi grabbed her bags, "Yeah, you'll see me in 5 hours." Sephiroth thought to himself, Plenty of time, "Ok, I'll see you then Usagi." Usagi walked out the door waving good-bye and Sephiroth waved back to her. Usagi got inside her car and drove off to Collage, while Sephiroth grinned evilly. "Now to go meet with Hojo." Sephiroth then disappeared.
Sephiroth re-appeared outside the house and flew into the air. He flew with furious speed until he reached a big bar. Sephiroth landed and looked up at the sign, "Virtuosity." Sephiroth grinned, "This is it, now to attend to Harry Hojo." Sephiroth opened the doors to the bar only to let out smog and toxins into the atmosphere. The dark room had thousands of men, killers, criminals, pirates, hooligans, and death knights. Sephiroth glared as he entered the bar eyeing the worst men you'd ever find on this planet. Sephiroth searched and found Harry Hojo sitting at a table in the very back, sipping on his beer and playing poker with some big hairy guy. Sephiroth walked up to the big guy and tapped him on the shoulder, "Hey pal, step aside." The big guy turned and looked at Sephiroth, "Fuck You Asshole."
He then turned back and continued to play poker. "I'll take 3," he said as he laid three cards on the table and waited. Hojo then grabbed the cards, placed them under the deck and slid the guy three cards. The big guy smirked, "I bet you fifty dollars." Hojo smiled, "Ok, I'll see that and raise you $250." The big guy grinned, "Ok, now beat this." The big guy then laid his cards on the table face up, showing 2 King of hearts and diamonds, 2 Queen of spades and hearts, a 7 of diamonds, a 10 of hearts, a 5 of clubs, a 2 of spades, and a Jack of diamonds. The big guy grinned, "Two pair, beat that." Hojo raised his eyebrow, "You're risky, betting that much money on 2 pairs." The guy chuckled, "Let's just say I'm a shoe-in to win." Hojo grinned, "Oh really." Hojo then laid his cards face up on the table, 4 Aces, 2 kings of spades and clubs, and a queen of diamonds. Hojo smiled, "4 pair of Aces and a pair of kings, seems I win."
Hojo then grabbed the money and the big guy exploded. He stood up and threw his chair against the wall, "You Cheated!!, there's NO WAY you could have won!!!" Hojo smiled, "But I have one, and you've lost, but don't feel bad Jack, it's all fortuitous." The man grind his teeth, "Don't give me that Bullshit!!, I'm gonna beat you A…" The guy turned and looked at Sephiroth who was tapping his shoulder. "Since you've finished your business with the man, I suggest you step aside and let me conduct my business with him." The man grabbed Sephiroth's collar and held him up and shouted in his face. "Listen you little asswipe, I don't know who the fuck you are, and I don't give a fuck, but you're starting to piss me off, so I suggest you back your ass down before I beat the shit out of you." Sephiroth grinned, "What a mouth, didn't your mother ever teach you how to speak properly. Then the man let go of Sephiroth so he was back on his feet, and then he wound his fist back and took a swing at Sephiroth. Sephiroth then grabbed his fist and squeezed lightly, and a loud crack was heard as the man yelled out in pain. Sephiroth let go of the mans fist and chopped the man's elbow slightly so that it cracked. The guy whined and cried and Sephiroth picked the big guy up and threw him into the wall. Sephiroth then looked at a stool at one of the other tables, and it glided right in front of him. Sephiroth sat down on the stool and looked at Hojo with a smile. "Hello Hojo."
Meanwhile, Usagi was sitting in class listening to her English professor talk on about Shakespearean logic. Usagi tried to focus her attention on Mr. Royster's lecture but couldn't; she was too busy thinking about Sephiroth. "That guy creeps me out, yet he doesn't seem all that bad. I wonder if he's showing his true nature or just pretending to be nice and all. Maybe he'll kill me if I return home." Usagi gasped and the class looked at her. "Is something wrong Miss Tsukino?" Usagi blinked and looked at Mr. Royster, "No Mr. Royster nothings wrong."
"Daydreaming in class again huh, well, pay closer attention to my lectures and you might just get an A in this class!"
Mr. Royster began to talk again and Usagi frowned and tried to pay attention. Usagi simply sighed and tried her hardest to pay attention Mr. Royster, but found herself having trouble doing so.
Usagi managed to block Sephiroth out of her mind long enough to get through her next couple of classes. Now it was time for lunch, and Usagi had awhile to think about Sephiroth while eating her Cheeseburger and fries."Why did this happen to me, I was sorta getting used to living a boring, peaceful life. I hope that this won't have a major affect on my life, cause I want it to stay the same."
Just then, Usagi's thoughts were interuptted by a friendly voice. "Hi Usagi." Usagi looked at the women, "Oh, hi there Kioke." Kioke smiled and set down next to Usagi, "Man, class sure was boring huh?" Usagi smiled and brushed her hair out of her face, "Yeah, it was boring, I had a hard time concentrating on the lessons." Kioke began to eat her food, "Really, me too."
Usagi wrinkled her nose and looked at Kioke as she ate and talked at the same time. Usagi hated it when Kioke talked with food in her mouth. Usagi felt like slapping her and yelling at her, "Chew first, then talk!" But Usagi managed to overcome the urge, and started eating her fries.
"How long has it been Sephiroth, 20 years now?"
"Yeah, it has"
"Well how are you my son?"
"Don't call me that."
"But that's what you are Sephiroth, my son, and don't you ever forget it."
"I perfer not to think of it"
"Why? Are you ashamed that your father is a scientist?"
"No, just ashamed of you in general."
"I see."
Sephiroth sighed and looked at Hojo in his cold, heartless eyes. "I came to ask you, to see if it was possible that I could have overcome my weakness?" Hojo stared dead strait at Sephiroth, "I don't see how, it's unfeasible that you could, after all the black materia inside you can't stand the white materia." Sephiroth blinked, "Yeah I know, but I just thought it might be possible since I escaped the moon, and it IS white materia."
"Don't be stupid Sephiroth!"
"Stupid or not I got off the Moon!"
"So you think you have overcome your boundry?"
"I don't know"
"Let's see"
Hojo pulled out a Knife carved out of white stone, and he sliced Sephiroth's shoulder. Sephiroth screamed and fell out of the chair and onto the floor while holding his wound.
"I see red blood, guess you didn't overcome your weakness."
Sephiroth glared at Hojo, "Why did you do that!?" Hojo laughed, "Don't be such a pussy Sephiroth, it's only a scratch." Sephiroth stood up and held onto his shoulder while blood dripped down his arm and onto thefloor. "Be grateful that I didn't stab this in your head."
Sephiroth growled, "I want you to remember this Hojo, because you know I will be back." Hojo grinned, "For more inquisitions, or to murder me?" Sephiroth grinned, "You'll find out, the next time."
Sephiroth then got up and walked out of the bar and flew back towards Usagi's house. Hojo cackled to himself. "Sephiroth, you have no idea do you. I'm the one who set you free, you're too blind to notice the obvious. Your powers will be helpful to mine." Hojo stood up and walked out of the bar, thinking about Sephiroth.
After a difficult 5 hours, Usagi finally left collage happily. She walked up to her car, unlocked it, opened the door and got itside. Just as she closed the door, Mr. Royster walked up to her car and tapped on her window. Usagi rolled down the window on her car and looked at Mr. Royster. "Yes Mr. Royster?" Mr. Royster looked at Usagi.
"Ms. Tsukino, I don't mean to give you a tough time, but you need to focus in class. I don't want anymore of your daydreaming or else you'll miss out on important topics and end up failing the semester."
"I know Mr. Royster, and I'm sorry but a lot's happening and I'm trying to get used to it."
"Why what happened?"
Usagi froze. She knew she couldn't tell her that some mass-murderer from the moon that has been inprisoned for 20 years has broke free and landed at her house, and that he's staying there with her. Usagi then quickly blurted, "A old friend I was close to died a couple of days ago."
"Oh, well I'm sorry for your loss Ms. Tsukino"
"It's ok, hopefully I'll get over it soon."
"I hope so too Ms. Tsukino."
Usagi frowned to herself, thinking, "Why doesn't he EVER call his students by their first names?" Usagi thought to herself how she'd love to whack Mr. Royster on the head and tell him to call her by her first name, and everyone else, because it always bugged her that he did that. Mr. Royster was the only profesor to do that, and she wondered is it respect, or simple degrating the students.
"Don't forget tonight's assignment Ms. Tsukino and drive safely."
"I won't, and I will."
Usagi drove off and rolled her eyes. "Drive safely," Usagi mocked, "What does he think I am some reckless teenager who just got her liscense?"
Sephiroth flew with great speed and made it back to Usagi's house in no time. Once he got in the house, he went to the bathroom and opened up the closet. Sephiroth grabbed some towels and wrapped them around his wound. He pulled his shirt over his wound with the towels wrapped like bandages in order to hide the wound. Just as he was finishing up, he walked into the living room, looked out the window and saw Usagi's car coming up the driveway. Sephiroth plopped down on the couch and pointed at the radio to turn it on, and made a magazine of "Weapons Weekly" appear in his hands.
Usagi walked though the door and found Sephiroth on the couch reading a Magazine whule listning to music. Usagi blinked and looked around the house. Sephiroth looked at her curiously.
"What are you looking for?"
"Damage to my house, blood stains, dead bodies"
Sephiroth chuckled. "Well it's nice to see my character percived through your eyes." Usagi looked at him. "Well that magazine you're looking at can give one ideas ya know." Sephiroth pointed to the cover.
"This?"
Usagi nodded
"Nah, it's just fascinating to look at, that's all."
"Fascinating to a killer."
"Besides, their antiques."
"So, they're still weapons."
"Yeah but antiques are fascinating, especially since I know most of them."
"Whatever, it's all the same to me."
Sephiroth waved his hand at Usagi. "Come e're Usagi, I wanna show you something." Usagi looked at him without moving. Sephiroth sighed, "Look, I'm not going to hurt you or anything, I just want to show you something." Usagi thought to herself, "Well, why not, I guess it's ok." Usagi smiled a little. "Sure."
Usagi walked over and sat on the couch next to Sephiroth and looked at him while he smiled at her. "That's a brave little girl." Usagi gave him a look as she watched his everymove. "Here, check this out." Sephiroth pulled his sword out and Usagi jumped and backed up." Sephiroth held it out on his lap and smiled. "You see that Usagi? That's a beauty right there." Usagi scooted closer to get a better look, "It looks like a sword to me." Sephiroth shook his head, "This isn't just any sword Usagi, this the Masume." Usagi looked at him.
"So"
"So? This sword was created in the Feudal Japan era, constructed by emperor Masamune, a sword constructed to match the beauty and elegancy of his daughter Princess Shakiko."
"So"
"So, It's dated in 536 BC, the only one of it's kind.."
"So"
"So it's something special and it's fascinating."
Sephiroth shieved the Masume while Usagi looked at him. "I don't see why it's so special, It's a sword and it's used for killing. As far as I can see, it's ugly, just like all of the other swords." Sephiroth looked at her with a bit of anger, but then just brushed it off. "Well I can see why you would think it's ugly, and why you wouldn't get it, but remember you killed people too Sailor Moon." Usagi glared at him. "Thos were monsters, not people, monster's who were ruining the earth and killing people, they are different." Sephiroth grinned, "Who are you to judge? I thought everything has a right to live, no matter if it's a monster of a human."
Usagi's anger burst and she found herself screaming at Sephiroth. "Everything does have a right to live, except monster's like you!!!!!" Usagi then punched him as hard as she could in his shoulder, and Sephiroth gripped his shoulder and fell back while screaming. Usagi stood up and looked at him. "GOOD! I'm glad that hurt, and hopefully you'll be maimed for life!!"
Usagi then stormed out of the living room and upstairs into her bedroom while Sephiroth was on the couch gripping his shoulder. "Heh, I didn't see that one coming… hehe…argh." Sephiroth winced and tore off his sleeve. He un-wrapped the towels and looked at his shoulder as the wound Usagi hit began to bleed more. Sephiroth shook his head in shame. "It's been awhile since I've bleed. I've got to get used to this pain again." Sephiroth sat up strait and rubbed his wound. Sephiroth sighed and looked down. Sephiroth then got up and walked up stairs to Usagi's bedroom.
Sephiroth knocked lightly on the door. "Usagi, I'm sorry, uh, can you open up and come out?" Sephiroth heard a noise coming from inside, then her heard Usagi's voice as she spoke quietly. "No, Sephiroth, just go away." Sephiroth smiled to himself and closed his eyes. "I'm asking politely Usagi, because with the wave of my hand I can open the door on my own ya know."
Just then, the door opened and Sephiroth looked at Usagi's face. "Are you crying?" Usagi sniffled and looked at him. "Yes, yes I am crying ok, so just leave me alone." Sephiroth shook his head. "Why are you so upset Usagi?"
"Because, you're so mean!"
"I wasn't trying to be."
Usagi sniffled and went in her room and lied on her bed while Sephiroth walked in and kneeled down beside her. Usagi looked at him with tears rolling down her cheeks. "I just don't understand how someone as cold and as cruel as you can exsist." Sephiroth looked at Usagi's mealoncholy face and smiled a bit. "Truthfully I wasn't supose to exsist. I'm an experiment, a creation with nothing but the power to destroy inside me. Usagi looked at him while sniffling.
"Are you even human Sephiroth."
"Of course, I was given birth to by Lucrecia."
"That doesn't mean you're human. You have to have feelings, and you have to have emotions."
"Who says I don't have those things?"
Usagi looked at him while wipping the tears out of her eyes. "You mean to tell me that you do feel, yet you were able to run around killing anybody and everybody in your path?" Sephiroth looked at her. "Of course. I felt horribly betrayed by god, and the Jenova cells inside me took over." Usagi looked at Sephiroth intently as he went on. "I has just found out that I was trash from the day I was born, a lab rat, a guinea pig, a test-tube baby." Sephiroth shook his head and looked down. "I was lost, I didn't know or care anymore. I didn't want to know either really. I just wanted to know why, why was I created?" Sephiroth stood up and looked at the wall. "The Jenova cells inside me told me that my purpose it to destroy the world completley, kill everyone and create a New World. I know it sounds ridiculous to be told this, but I lost all faith in everything, so why not?"
Usagi sat up and looked at Sephiroth. "I didn't know you had such a hard life Sephiroth… I'm sorry." Sephiroth smilled, "It's ok, I don't need any sympathy. My years of imprisonment gave me a new zest for life." Usagi looked at him. "What is that?" Sephiroth looked at her. "I wanted to live, to enjoy life. It doesn't matter why I was created, or even how. All that matters is that I live out a life I can enjoy." Usagi started to look at Sephiroth differently. "After you get your freedom taken away, it makes you want it back, and it makes you want to revel in it. To be candid, I don't want to fight anymore, or battle, or kill. Even though I know it won't escape me completley, and if it arises I will fight and all. But I want to enjoy a happy life now. And, well, I have you to thank for a home at least."
Usagi smiled at him, "Well its no trouble really. I was just scared cause I thought you might kill me." Sephiroth looked at her. "You don't think I'll kill you anymore." Usagi shook her had. "I don't think you would." Sephiroth smiled, "Well you're right, I don't want to."
"Oh, what time is it?" Sephiroth made a pocket watch appear in his hand. "Um, it's 1900 hours and 45 minutes." Usagi blinked, and then she jumped. "It's already 7:45!" Sephiroth watched her walk around in histeria. "I have to do my homework, and I have lots to do!" Sephiroth smiled, "Well then I'll leave you alone Usagi." Sephiroth then went up to Usagi and kissed her on the cheek. Usagi froze completley and felt her whole face flush a bright red. "I'll see ya tomorrow Usagi." Usagi wathced as Sephiroth left and continued to blush.
"He kissed me. He kissed me!?" Usagi sat down at began to think. "Why did he do that?Was it an emotional kiss or just one of those 'goodbye' kisses?" The more Usagi thought about it the more she got confused, so she decided to forget about it and try to focus on her homework. As she did her homework, the thought of Sephiroth crossed her mind at least 20 times. She didn't want to think about it but she did. When she eventually finished her homework, she brushed her teeth, combed her hair, got in her nightgown, turned off the lights in her room, got in her bed, and fell asleep.
The next day Usagi woke up and forgot all about that kiss Sephiroth gave her on her cheek. She was in a good mood and was happy. Usagi perpared herself for collage with in the next hour. When she was finished, she walked down the stairs and found Sephiroth in the living room snapping his fingers and making objects appear before him. Usagi ran over to Sephiroth and tapped him on the shoulder.
"What ya doin?"
"Just getting some items I want"
"Well.."
Sephiroth looked at Usagi. "Well what?" Usagi smiled at Sephiroth. "If you want to live a normal life, you shouldn't use your powers and you should get a job and buy items you need." Sephiroth laughed. "Why would I want to do that?" Usagi scratched her head, "Because it would be challanging for you." Sephiroth raised an eyebrow at Usagi.
"Oh really?"
"Yeah, I bet you can't get a job."
"I'll take that bet."
"Alright then."
Usagi began to laugh as Sephiroth glared at her. "I'll get a job, just you watch." Usagi smiled at him, "Sure you will." Usagi gathered her books and all. "Well I'm off to Collage know." Sephiroth smiled at her. "Have fun." Usagi giggled, "Yeah, have fun searching for a job."
Sephiroth watched Usagi get into her car and drive off to collage. Sephiroth sat back in the couch and began to think. "Job. Job. Job. I need a job. But what?" He snapped his fingers, "I know." Sephiroth picked up the phone and dialed the number for the FBI.
"Hello?"
"Hello, I have a couple of questions to ask."
"Who are you and how did you get this number?"
"Doesn't matter, but do you still use Bounty Killer's in this century?"
"Hah, yeah right, are you crazy?"
Sephiroth hung up the phone. "Shoot, there goes that idea." Sephiroth curled his index finger and put it up to his lip. "Well if I can't use my brute strength to get a job, brains come in where muscle fails." Sephiroth grinned and started to laugh. He then walked out of the house and started walking to Kappa Collage.
A couple of hours later Sephiroth was speaking with the president of Kappa Collage. Sephiroth spoke with Wang Chi for a couple of minutes for a job interview. "So mister," Wang Chi looked down at Sephiroth's portfolio, " Hopkins, Tony Hopkins." Sephiroth smiled and nodded.
"You would like to be a proffesor at our collage. You are certified to teach at a university, and we would love to have you as a teacher, but you have to do something to get in."
"What's that?"
"You have to take a test, and get an 88% or above to be administered as a teacher."
"So you wanna test me. Well that's not a problem at all."
"Alright, you'll have 4 different tests. And you'll have a total of 15 hours to complete them."
"I can assure you Mr. Chi, it won't take that long."
Sephiroth spent the next 2 hours taking the tests and finishing them. Wang Chi blinked in surprise. "Two hours is all it took you to finish all four tests!?" Sephiroth smiled and nodded. Wang Chi took the tests and handed them to his advisors, who began correcting the tests. Wang Chi looked at Sephiroth and shook his head. "I doubt you did well. But we will notify you with your scores in 4 to 5 hours." Sephiroth smiled. "Allright."
Sephiroth waited for 5 hours in Wang Chi's office before Mr. Chi entered with the results. Wang Chi sat down and looked at Sephiroth with shock in his eyes. "Mr. Hopkins. You're results were extrodenary. You got ALL answers correct on every test!" Sephiroth waved his hand and snapped his finger. "Of course. I expected no less."
Wang Chi jumped out of his seat and looked at Sephiroth. "Mr. Hopkins, we'd LOVE to have you teach with us! You'd be perfect." Sephiroth grabbed Wang's hand and shook it. "Well I'm glad I qualify, and I'd love to get started as soon as possible." Wang smiled at Sephiroth and handed him a folder with a bunch of papers in it. "Since our Biology teacher left, you can fill his spot. We'll decide your other classes tonight and notify you tomorrow when you come in."
Sephiroth smiled and thanked him, then left and walked back to Usagi's house. When Sephiroth entered, Usagi was on the couch watching TV. She looked at him and grinned. "So how'd the job search come along?" Sephiroth tried not to laugh, and he simply smiled at her. "I got a job." Usagi blinked in surprise.
"Wow, that was fast. What is your job?"
"I'll show you tomorrow."
"Why not now?"
"Cause I want it to be a surprise."
Usagi just frowned. "Fine have it your way." Sephiroth walked over to the couch andsat down. "It's my way or the highway." Usagi stuck her tongue out at him while he looked at the TV. "What's on?" Usagi looked back at the TV. "Oh, it's just a romantic movie."
"What's it called?"
"Destiny of two lovers."
"Sounds stupid."
Usagi looked at him and squinted her eyebrows. "It's not stupid!" Sephiroth chuckled and Usagi hit him with a pillow. "I hate you." Sephiroth looked at her. "Aw, now why'd ya say that?" Usagi stuck her tongue out at Sephiroth. "Because you're mean!" Sephiroth shook his head. "You're just silly." Usagi grunted and crossed her arms.
Sephiroth got up and walked into her kitchen. He poured himself a cold glass of milk and began to drink. As he sat the glass down, he looked at Usagi. "Well what's the movie about?" Usagi glared at him.
"Why should I tell you?"
"I'm just Curious."
Usagi lightened up a bit and smiled. "Well, it's a story about two people who meet eachother under bizzare circumstances and fall in love with eachother." Sephiroth grinned. "Bizzare, what are they? People of the same gender."
"Ewwww! No they aren't!"
"Then what's so bizzare about it?"
"They're enemies who believe in different things. Yet they fall in love with eachother after meeting eachother."
"That sounds pretty stupid to me."
"Well that's cause you ARE stupid!"
Sephiroth smiled. "You can't take anything an you?" Usagi glared at him. "I can, but you're just rude." Sephiroth frowned. "I'm not a bald, muscular freak from the Turks." Usagi blinked. "What?" Sephiroth smiled and shook his head with his hand to his mouth. "Nevermind, you wouldn't know what I'm talking about." Usagi scratched her head. "Well… okay."
Sephiroth finished his glass of milk and threw it in the sink. Usagi yelled at him, "Be careful! Don't break the glass!" Sephiroth looked at her. "Sorry. Guess I'll be more considerate next time." Usagi looked back at the TV.
"Well I'm going to bed. Enjoy your dumb movie, and see you tomorrow."
"Hmph. Hope you break a leg on the way up the stairs!"
Sephiroth walked upstairs laughing while Usagi sat on the couch glarring at the TV. "Stupid Jerk. I don't know what his problem is. He just seems so damn Rude. Oh well, guess I shouldn't let it bother me." Usagi lied back on the couch while watching her movie, and resting her eyes a bit, until she fell asleep aroung midnight.
