Origins-Yojimbo Chapter four. Of Monks and horny pups. Mako Eyez

Sephiroth dressed himself but didn't wear the cape, he strapped the sword to his back and carried the cape over his arm. It was incredibly warm in Luca so he decided it would be foolish to wear such a heavy piece of clothing. Daigoro stopped jumping around and looked at Sephiroth as if it knew he was leaving. Sephiroth walked through the cabin door and to the ship's deck.

Shortly after the ship docked, the Gaudo Glories, Sephiroth and Daigoro walked off board.

"Sephiroth!" Yelled on of the Gaudo. "Master Seymour told me to give you this." He pulled a pouch from his pocket and threw it to Sephiroth. "There's three thousand gil in there, use it wisely."

"Thank you, I will."

"We wish you luck in your journey and remember that you are always welcome in Gaudosalam."

"Thank you."

"Until we me again."

"Until then."

The group of Gaudo walked away. Sephiroth looked to Daigoro.

"Have you ever been here?" He asked the dog. Daigoro glanced up at hem. "Me neither, let's go."

Sephiroth walked to the focal point of the town, the Blitzball stadium. He was intrigued to see what this game was like, he thought he may even give it a try. As he entered the building he looked around for a reception desk but there wasn't one it seemed the game was free to watch.

He walked up the stairs as did the pup. He looked around for a place to sit in the far corner in the first row. He found a chair and placed the red cape over it and leaned his weapon against a wall beside him. He patted his knee and Daigoro jumped up. He lay with on his front paws on Sephiroth's lap.

The noise of flooding water filled the arena. Sephiroth looked as a large Sphere of water appeared in the centre of the stadium, he had no idea what to thing but he was intrigued.

A voice echoed through the structure through various speakers. "Hello ladies and gentlemen, boys and girls, to today's game between the Al Bhed Psyches and the Luca Goers. I'd talk more but I know all you guys wanna see is the game. So , Blitz off!"

As the commentator finished speaking the pool had finished being filled up. The physics were unusual indeed. Sephiroth couldn't figure out how the water kept it's shape and floated in the air.

"Must be magic." He said out loud.

Two groups of five people entered the pool from each end. A ball was then dropped into the pool and the game began.

Sephiroth sat in awe at the game and started yelling for the Luca Goers to win.

"That's strange," Spoke a rough voice. "You're Al Bhed and you're cheering on the Goers."

Sephiroth turned to face the man who appeared to be a monk of some sort. "Actually I'm not Al Bhed." He had only realised that Al Bheds were human by watching the game.

"Sorry, It's your eyes, usually only Al Bhed have green eyes."

"It's alright, since we're talking, do you have a name?"

"I'm Auron, a warrior monk."

"I'm Sephiroth, I guess you could call me an adventurer."

"You ever been here before?" Auron asked him.

"My first time."

"You'll like it here everyone is-" Auron paused as a few small shell like pods soared through the air towards them. "Sins Spawn!" He yelled.

"Sin what?" Sephiroth asked.

"Sin spawn! You can use that big sword right?"

"Yes."

"Good, help me fight these things."

"Why not?" Sephiroth replied as he shrugged.

As soon as the pods hit the ground Daigoro leapt from Sephiroth's lap and on to the floor.

Sephiroth grabbed his sword and stood in a battle stance. The monk did the same.

"Now!" Auron yelled.

People ran around in various directions trying to avoid the monsters that emerged from the shells. Sephiroth and Auron ran toward the monsters.

As one of the creatures attempted to pounce on a young boy Auron charged at it. He raised his sword above it's head and brought it down with all his strength. He hacked off the head of the creature but it kept moving. He kicked it in the chest making it flip on to it's chest and drove his sword through it's heart.

Sephiroth spotted another attempting to attack a woman. He ran to her aid. He swung his sword at the monster. As his sword sliced through the air it also sliced though the monster cutting it in half.

A distance from where Sephiroth and Auron were another child was screaming in horror at the monster coming her way. Sephiroth and Auron started to charge towards the beast. Daigoro had also seen the girl panic. He was closer than the two and ran toward her. As he got close he jumped into the air and performed a type of drop kick on the monster, kicking like a mule. The beast lost it's footing and slipped under a safety barrier and started falling to the floor below.

As it plummeted it wriggled and squealed. Twenty foot below the floor that the fiends had attacked there sat a statue of Lord Mi'ihen. The statue showed him holding his sword up high. The monster fell directly into the sword. The only metal part of the statue pierced through it's chest, killing it a few moments later.

A few more walked toward Sephiroth and Auron. Effortlessly they slashed through the group. The fiends turned into pyre flies and floated into the air.

"I need a drink." Auron said. "You want one?"

"I guess we deserve it." Sephiroth responded. "Just one minute I need to get my cape."

As Sephiroth left to retrieve his cape Daigoro sniffed around Auron's heels. The man saw him and couldn't help but notice how cute the golden pup was.

"Hello." Auron said. He placed his sword on the floor and began to stroke Daigoro's ears. He laughed slightly as the pup's leg began to shake.

Sephiroth returned with his cloak draped over his arm and his sword strapped to his back.

"That's a nice pet you have, he'll grow to be a fighter." Auron said as he took the sword from the floor and stood upright.

"He already is a hero." Sephiroth responded.

"Hey," Auron said. "Come on and help me get drunk."

Sephiroth laughed.

The monk and the adventurer exited the stadium and went to Luca's 'Bar Doom'. As the attempted to enter a doorman stopped them.

"Sorry guys," Said the door man. "You gotta leave your weapons outside."

Auron turned to Sephiroth. "Leave your sword in there," He pointed to a nearby shed. "He'll look after them."

Normally Sephiroth would never have parted with his weapon but he knew that he could trust Auron. He agreed and placed his sword in the shed as did Auron. Now that they were unarmed the doorman permitted their entrance.

As they entered the establishment various men greeted Auron but more or less ignored Sephiroth completely. Daigoro got more of a welcome than his master.

They took a seat. They sat on a small sofa in the corner of the bar with a table sat in front.

"I'm going to get a beer, do you want one?" Auron asked.

"Yes." Sephiroth responded.

As Auron left to get the drinks Sephiroth looked around to see where Daigoro was. The dog was hiding behind his feet. He lifted the pup and placed him on the seat beside him. He glanced around the place and could see people looking at him.

"Damn Al Bhed." He heard some one say. He had no idea why they felt this way about the Al Bhed.

Auron returned and placed the drinks on the table. He leaned toward Sephiroth and whispered in his ear. "Just ignore those fools."

"I will." Sephiroth responded. "So you're a warrior monk?" Sephiroth asked.

"Yes. You should consider it as an occupation, we could use a man with your skills. Right now we are just patrolling for Sin Spawn."

"What is this 'Sin' thing? I understand I sound like a fool but I really do not know."

"Sin is a large monster that is capable of mass destruction. A summoner will summon a beast to destroy Sin When the final Aeon is summoned the summoner is killed. We, in league with the crusaders are helping in the fight."

"So those pods were part of that beast?"

"Yes, it will be gone soon though. I believe Lord Atla is almost in Zanarkand. He will receive the final Aeon and Sin will be killed but sadly will be reborn in ten years. We call this period of peace, 'The Calm. How could you not know this?"

"I'm not actually from Spira, I was sent here and given a chance to make up for my sins. I understand it sounds strange but it is true. I've been sent to help others."

"Your story is strange but I believe you. If you wish to help people you should become a warrior monk like me."

"I think you're right. I will."

"Great," Auron cheered. "We need some new guys anyway. I'll put in a word for you."

"Thank you."

"I should thank you, we need all the help we can get."

Sephiroth and Auron banged their glasses together and drank to the occasion. Everything seemed great until a drunken Al Bhed hater spotted Sephiroth. He noted the green eyes and felt like starting trouble. The man staggered to the table with a bottle in his hand.

"Hey yoush!" He yelled. His words were slurred due to the amount of alcohol he had consumed. "You bashtards are the reashon I don't have a brother. It'sh you're fault Sin keeps coming. I hate you bashtards!"

He smashed the bottle across the table sending shard of glass across the table. He swung the broken bottle at Sephiroth who ducked. As Sephiroth ducked he punched the man at the bottom of his rib cage, restricting his breathing and causing the man to fall to the floor. Sephiroth knew he would recover but would be breathless for a while. He looked to Auron and Auron nodded. They left to half full glassed on the table and stood up. Daigoro jumped to the floor and all three of them walked out.

They retrieved their weapons and walked a short distance.

"What's going on? What's this anti-Al Bhed thing about?"

"Take a seat," Auron told him pointing to a bench. Sephiroth sat down. "Some people believe that Sin is a punishment for us using machina, machines. The Al Bhed are known for their machina usage so some fools blame them for Sin's return."

"I see."

"I hate to do this but you have to decided quickly. Do you truly wish to become a warrior monk? The boat for Bevelle leaves in a short while and I must be on it."

Sephiroth realised that he had no choice. If he stayed here without knowing anyone he would surely attract trouble from anti-Al Bhed. It would be best to be with some one that he trusts and right now he trusted Auron.

"I'm sure." He replied.

"Daigoro can come to right?"

"It's slightly unusual but we need more people so badly that they would make an exception."

They heard a woman scream. The looked to see a woman at and item stall jumping around. They also noticed that Daigoro was attempting to have intercourse with her leg.

"Daigoro!" Come here!" Sephiroth yelled.

Auron laughed. "Oh this reminds me, if you wish to be a monk you must become celibate although it may be slightly harder for the pup." Auron held his sides and laughed louder.

"Daigoro!" Sephiroth yelled louder. The pup stopped what he was doing and left the woman alone. "I'm sorry miss!" Sephiroth yelled.

The woman turned away in an attempt to hide her ruby coloured face.

The two men talked more about the life of a warrior monk. A loud bell rang out signalling that it was time to leave.

The two men and the dog ran to the docks and boarded the ship bound for Bevelle. Sephiroth leaned on the banister on the side of the ship while Auron stood beside him.

"You made the right choice." Auron said reassuringly.

"I hope so." Sephiroth replied.

The sun set as the ship sailed into the horizon. Within a few minutes Luca was out of sight

Chapter Four soon.

As for the chapter title it just popped into my head. I am insane you know.

The Daigoro drop-kick is something that you'll understand better if you actually see it in the game. I figured I'd use the actual attack from the game. In case you haven't clicked on yet, this story is set in Spira's past roughly when Seymour is six. Yes Auron is the cool young guy we've seen in the Jecht Spheres. This is before his meeting with Braska. So Sephiroth is gonna be a monk? what a good way to piss off fangirls. I'm kidding of course. Please review, when you do you enter a prize draw to be set up with the FF guy or girl of your choice.

Maybe not.
