Author's Note:
Okay, I felt like I had to write this. Sephiroth and Zack are not going to be together. Although I do write shounen-ai/yaoi stories, this is not one of them. Also, if they seem a little OOC, just remember that they're six years old. It might put the story into perspective. One more thing, the reason they talk, act, and think more maturely than they should is simple. Sephiroth's been the subject of human experimentation. I'd assume this would make someone aware of the evils in the world pretty fast, even if they were only six. Aeris talks to the planet. I'm sure that gives someone a wealth of knowledge that the normal person does not have. As for Zack, well, I'm not going to go into it here, since that would spoil the surprise, but he's had a rough time too. Not as rough as Sephiroth, but still enough that he can speak with maturity. And what's with the lack of reviews? Don't leave me now… I know I didn't post in a while. I'M SORRY!!!!! DON'T HATE ME!!!!! I was supposed to include something else in the last chapter, but it got too long, so I'll put it in the next one. This chapter is a Jenova chapter. Hope you like!!
Chapter 19:
Only Human
The time is drawing near.
The boy is slowly breaking down.
He is slowly accepting me.
He believes me to be a helpful influence upon him, a savior to him in his time of need.
Foolish boy.
Humans know nothing of what they believe they know.
It makes it fun to watch him.
This boy is still holding out, but it will only be a matter of time now.
And once the time comes, I will be able to have my revenge.
My revenge against the impertinent humans who imprisoned me so long ago- how I wish that time would be upon us all!
Yet I must wait.
I must have patience. The boy's body is not yet satisfactory. He still needs some adjustment.
Soon, I will be able to maximize all of his abilities.
His potential is enormous. He has the power to become great.
If only he knew what lay dormant inside of him…
And yet he still contains weakness.
That frailty that comes only from being human.
He hides his well, yet it still shows itself.
That unfortunate recent display of emotion is proof.
If only that boy had never shown up… then he might have fully accepted my offer.
Yet that boy might still be of use to me.
His strength and potential are high. Still less than my host, true, yet high enough to be worthy of my attention.
It is good that he appears to take such an interest in my host.
When I take over, he will be a good ally.
And the Cetra…
That girl will be a problem.
She has taken an interest in my host as well.
That interest would be better left unreciprocated.
Yet no matter how I try to keep that girl from his thoughts, she manages to slip in.
This is no good.
I need complete control of this body, but only when he relinquishes it to me will I be able to grasp it.
It may be too late by then.
Hopefully, the boy will not deconstruct my carefully laid-out plans.
For the time being, I will have to sit back and wait.
However, I will not remain inactive.
I will continue to plant thoughts in his mind.
He is only slightly aware of my influence over him.
If I increase the intensity pf these thoughts, my power should easily overcome his own.
He is, after all, only human.
