Chapter 2: Reflections ~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~**~~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~ Disclamer: Don't sue me or i shall go medevil on yo' ass!!
A/N: Sorry fo the lack of updates. I've been busy with schoolwork an' all. Thanks to the reviewers who rated my story. Also, thank you for correcting my spelling error. It's Lucrecia, NOT Lucreceedia....~__~ ' BTW: The idea of Nanaki's species evolving is the result of me trying to figure out why Nanaki/RedXIII has a human grandfather...thanks to the makers of iced cappachino for giving me that idea! ^-^ LOL! And also, the man in the cape's identiy is about to be revealed....and nope, it's NOT Hojo! *cackles evilly* **************************************************************************** ****** Sephiroth and Angel walked along the docking station of Midgar's Airship Station, just talking about this and that. All too soon, they had reached the airship heading for Cosmo Canyon and they bid farewell.
"Come visit!" Angel yelled, as the airship veered out of the dock.
Sephiroth nodded and waved to Angel, watching as the airship soon driffed off into the distance. He stayed on the dock, gazing out to the evening sun that was beginning to set on the horizon. There was a strange feeling of sadness in his heart....
Why do i feel this way? Do i love her....?....No....... He thought to himself. He sighed and sat down on a bench, running a hand through his long silver hair.
This cannot be....no, it's just a side affect of the Jenova cells inside me.....he thought.
He leaned back and closed his eyes, thoughts swirling around his mind.
All his life he had been negletted and unloved...
Growing up in the laboritory of ShinRa Inc, he had been suscummed to hords of horrific experiments....he shuddered to think of them....
As a result, he grew withdrawn from other humans, fearful of them...afraid they would hurt him, like his father did throughout his childhood.
Sephiroth's heart filled with hate and anger as he thought about his father..no....Hojo... He was the one who had supervised and even performed all of the experiments on Sephiroth's tiny body when he was growing up.
He was the one who had injected the Jenova cells into his body, making him the unnaturally strong being he was today.. He resented being related to that pathetic excuse for a human being...
Because of Hojo, Sephiroth had always feared getting close to someone for fear that they would abuse and torture him.....as a result, Sephiroth grew to be shy and reclusive....
These new feeling inside him confused and frightened him... Sure, he had felt attracted to women before...it was part of growing up...but he had never felt feelings as intense as this....
His heart raced when he thought of Angel...her carefree compositon...her midnight blue eyes...her smiling face....
A faint hint of a blush spread across Sephiroth's face and he had to mentally slap himself. No, Sephiroth! She will only hurt you..like so many others.. he thought angerly.
But another voice inside him, a voice that was full of reason....a voice he had long since forgotten, replied: But what if she's different?.........
************* Angel walked up onto the top deck of the airship. The wind blew through her short, white hair. She smiled to herself as she thought about the man she had met several hours earlier....
They said Sephiroth was a ruthless, cold-hearted murderer.....but when i met him.....he seemed so....normal....yet..mysterious...he was so kind..he even escorted me to the Airship Station! He seems so misunderstood..like some complex puzzle watching to be solved... she thought, gazing out onto the horizon. She could see Cosmo Canyon in the distance before her.
She gasped in terror. Something was not right. Pitch black smoke, clearly visable in the black of the night, and high, orange flames, dances along the horizon.
Oh no! Granfather! Nanaki!! She thought in despair, watching in horror as her beloved hometown went up in smoke..... *************** "Have you captured the specimen?"
"Yes, Professor."
"Eeeeexcellent."
The tall man in the lab coat pressed the tips of his fingers together and leaned back in his chair, looking extremly pleased with the cloaked man before him.
"Vincent, you have indeed been good to me....now i will discover the secret of eternal youth from this fine specimen you have caught me." said the professor, flicking a lock of his greying black hair out of his dark greenish-brown eyes.
Vincent removed his hood, revealing a pale, chiseled face, dark grey eyes and a head of long, black hair.
"Professor Hojo, what do you plan to do?"he said quietly, his eyes lingering on the genius before him.
Hojo smirked. "Why, Vincent, i'm glad you asked that. You see, i am not getting any older...i have much buisness that is left unfinished...Cosmodians have incredible longetivity...when i find out why, i'll be able to genetically produce a gene that will help me live longer......for now, i will take to experimenting on the specimen. You've done well, Vincent."he said.
Vincent nodded. "I'll be leaving now."
"Any plans for the evening?"said Hojo.
Vincent shrugged. "Not that i know of. Good night, sir."
And with that, Vincent exited the office. Hojo got up from his chair and paced around the room.
Hmmmm.....i feel as if Vincent is hiding something....strange..he usually confides in me.........me being his father and all.....*sigh*..no time to dwaddle on this now.....i must go see the specimen..He thought, walking to the door...
********** Sephiroth was lying in bed at the Honeybee Inn, absently counting the cracks in the ceiling tiles when he sensed that something was not right.
Huh? Strange....something bad has happened....but what? He thought... ************ Angel battled her way through the flames, trying desperatly to reach the observitory.
"GRANFATHER! NANAKI! WHERE ARE YOU?!?!" she cried desperatly, searching franticly through the flames and thick smoke..
"Angel...?"a voice came from somewhere to her left. Bugenhagen lay under some rubble, barely clinging to life.
"Granfather!! Who did this?!"she cried, trying to move the rubble, failing miserably.
Bugenhagen coughed. "T'was a man..in a red cape......a gold claw.......he spoke of..The Promised Land....."he groaned.
"Granfather, where is Nanaki?!"Angel cried, trying in vain to help her granfather...
"They...took him..........Midgar........ShinRa Building..........Ho....Jo..." Bugenhagen said with his last breath.
Angel screamed and tried frantically to revive him, but the smoke was beginning to take it's toll..she coughed violently and the world around her began to spin...before she knew it, everything had gone dark....
(Good place for a cliffy, ja ne? ^_^)
Sephiroth quickly pulled on his trenchcoat and clipped his Masamune to the scabbord on his back. He KNEW Angel was in trouble. How? He did'nt know. All he knew was that he had to get to Cosmo Canyon as quickly as possible. He ran out to the balcony of his room and stood atop the railings. With a burst of energy, he took to the air, heading north to the canyon.......he saw the cloud of smoke and the flames on the horizon....he braced himself for the worst....
Angel woke up feeling extremly groggy. She blinked several times and found to her shock, that she was no longer in the observitory. She was in the arms of a man dressed in black leather, flying at top speed towards Midgar.... She looked up and gasped.
"SEPHIROTH!" she cried, half-shocked, half-pleased.
Sephiroth looked down on her, a serious expression on his face.
"Angel...are you alright? What happened here?"he said.
"It was a raid....they've kidnapped my brother! Sephiroth, i think Hojo is going to use him in an experiment! Granfather told me what happened....oh, Sephiroth.....i dread to think what will happen....." Angel cried, burying her head in Sephiroth's chest.
Sephiroth blushed a little and awkwardly patted her head, trying to comfort her. "Hey, don't worry. We'll rescue him....that's a promise." he said.
Angel looked up at him, her face shiny with tears. "Really?" she said.
Sephiroth brushed the tears away with his hand. He gave Angel a reassuring smile. "I never break my promises."he said.
And with that, he increased his speed and together, they flew towards Midgar, not knowning what dangers they would face......
*****TO BE CONTINUED************ A/N: Hmmmm......i think this is a little Mary Sue-ish....oh, i don't know..... review me and tell me what YOU think... Gimme suggestions and ideas, please! Also, in case you were wondering, i just like fics were Hojo is portrayed as Vincent's father! Flames, reviews, suggestions and marraige proposols are welcome!!
Later days!
