Chapter 5

More Paper Wads and a Fight

                                      -Next day-

"No teacher!" Yuffie said for the 3rd day in a row. A paper wad was thrown. The "war" started again. Dete was standing by the door. After about 15 minutes everyone just kinda stared at her.

"What?" she asked. No one said anything.

"Is there something on my face?" she asked turning bright red. Still no one answered. Slowly she turned around to look behind her. She screamed and scrambled backwards away from Mr. Valentine.

"Hello class," he said calmly. Everyone dropped their paper wads like they were covered in something gross which in Rufus' case was true since Rueh had thrown one at him.

"Is that my paper wad from yesterday?" she asked from behind him.

"Ahhhh…" Rufus said.

"How did you keep it from getting hard?"

"Ahhhh…"

"They threw that one away yesterday. That's the new one," Dete said.

"Oh yeah. Dete look at what your dog did to my homework," Rueh said.

"I don't have a dog. So you mean your dog drooled on your homework," Dete said.

"Ewww! Gross!" Rufus yelled and put it in the trash can.

"I don't have a dog either," Rueh said thoughtfully. Dete shook her head.

"And my I ask…what in the world is going on here?" Mr. Valentine said. No one dared to answer.

"Never mind…I have a pretty good idea of what's going on. You have the rest of the hour free on one condition…you clean this mess up," he said.

"Hey Aeris…" Dete said at lunch.

"Yes?" Aeris said.

"Do you know what happened to Mr. Valentine?" Rueh asked so no one else would overhear. Aeris looked around.

"You can't tell anyone," she said.

"We won't," Dete said. Aeris told them softly what Vincent had told her. The bell rang.

"Hmm…something's not right and I have a feeling that we were right about Hojo," Dete said as they walked to class. Rueh nodded.

Sephiroth dropped to his knees waiting for his head to clear. The soldier in front of him back-handed him on the side of his face. His head snapped to the side from the impact. The soldier did the same with the other side of his face. Sephiroth launched himself at the soldier. A few punches in the face drove the soldier to the floor out cold.

Sephiroth stood over him eyes cold. Two more soldiers came into the room. They ran at Sephiroth. He turned and looked at them coldly and calmly. He easily caught the first punch. Sephiroth twisted around holding the soldier by the arm and spun. The soldier's feet left the floor as he spun. When he let go the soldier crashed into the other and both hit the wall then slid to the floor.

Hojo sent in 3 soldiers this time. They ran in and caught Sephiroth off guard. He tried to recover but couldn't. These soldiers were stronger and faster than he was. Sephiroth took in every blow without a sound. After a few minutes he lay at the soldier's feet unconscious.

"So he has his limits…oh well. We'll try again later," Hojo said. A soldier carelessly dragged Sephiroth from the room and dropped him in his cell.
