Chapter 28
He's Hearing Voices…Again…Jump!
-Next Day-
"Why won't you let me call Rueh?"
"Well…one reason is to make sure you're all right…another…"
"You're still being controlled aren't you?" Dete asked and shook her head.
"What are you talking about?" Sephiroth asked giving her a confused look.
She sighed and shook her head again.
"What?" he asked.
"Sephiroth…" a different voice said softly.
"Who? What? What's going on?" he asked turning around.
Dete smiled.
"Sephiroth…" the voice said a little louder.
"Dete? Do you hear that?" he asked.
"Hear what?" she asked innocently.
"Sephiroth…" A few objects started floating in the air.
"What's going on?!" His feet left the floor.
"Ha ha ha…Sephiroth…"
"Dete help!"
"What?"
"Ooooo…Sephiroth…" There were more spooky noises made.
"Dete!"
"Why don't you just ask her to stop?"
"Ask who?"
"Her," Dete said and pointed behind him.
Sephiroth started to turn around but was suddenly thrown upwards. He hit the roof face first.
"Oooooo…that had to hurt."
"I think you've have enough fun Rueh," Dete sighed.
Rueh made a face as she released Sephiroth. He fell and landed on his back. His face was red.
"Are you okay?" they both asked leaning over him.
"…ouch…"
"You're fine," Rueh said. She looked thoughtful. "Hmm…I wonder if I could completely control him?" she asked. Her face went blank. "Get up." Sephiroth got up slowly his eyes blank. "Cool!" Rueh exclaimed she then went quiet. "Now…take off your coat and boots and…jump out the window!" she said after a minute of thought. Without a word he did as told and headed for the window.
"Rueh! Stop!" Dete said.
"But…"
"Rueh!" Sephiroth was ready to jump.
"Fine," Rueh sighed.
"Rueh! Let him go!" Dete ordered as he jumped. Rueh shrugged and released him…
"Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhh!"
Rueh and Dete ran to the window.
"What the?!"
"Get off!"
"That was a soft landing."
"I bet it was…my turn!" Rueh jumped.
"No! Rueh!" Dete yelled.
"Owwwwwwww!!!"
Someone made a choking noise.
"That hurt…"
"You were right! It was a soft landing!"
"Get off!" Cloud yelled from the bottom of the pile.
"But this is a comfy place to sit," Rueh said on top of Sephiroth.
"Don't mind me," Zack groaned under him but on top of Cloud.
"Hmm…maybe Dete wants to try," Rueh said.
"No Rueh. I'm fine," Dete said.
"Oh come on," Rueh said innocently as her face went blank. Dete's face went blank. She jumped.
"Oh…wait…" Rueh quickly got out of the way as Dete landed on Sephiroth.
"Owww…"
"That's not cool."
"Oooo…my head…"
"Hey Dete! Want to do it again?"
"No."
"Okay!" Using her powers Rueh lifted Dete above the roof of the inn.
"Umm…I think that's high enough…" Zack said looking over his shoulder.
"Okay…" Rueh let Dete go. Sephiroth jumped out of the way as she fell. Zack did too.
"Ahhhhh…this is not funny Rueh…" Cloud said after Dete landed on him. Rueh was laughing.
"Gosh Rueh…" Dete said standing.
"What? I thought it was funny," Rueh acted like nothing had happened. Sephiroth and Zack were laughing as they helped Cloud up.
"Cloud you could have moved," Red said watching them.
"Hey Red! Wanna play fetch?" Rueh asked. Red stared at her. "Here boy…get the stick."
"Rueh…that's not a stick…that's Cloud's sword," Red said calmly.
"Really?...huh…would ya look at that…it is," Rueh replied.
"Give it back," Cloud demanded. Rueh got an evil look on her face.
"Come and get it," she taunted. Cloud lunged for his sword. Rueh jumped over him. "Here it is," she said.
Cloud chased Rueh for the next 10 minutes trying to get his sword back while the others laughed. Rueh suddenly stopped. Cloud ran into her and fell backwards. Rueh didn't budge. She tossed Cloud's sword away and bent down.
"Here Red! Get the stick! Come on boy! Get the stick!" she said straightening and showing Red the stick. His tail started wagging fast and his eyes went wide.
"Throw the stick! Come on! Throw the stick!" he said jumping up and down.
"You want the stick?"
"Yeah! Throw the stick!" Rueh threw the stick. Red turned and gave chase. Vincent stared after him in open mouth shock. Sephiroth shook his head and went inside to get his coat and boots back. Red was back when he got back. Red dropped the stick at Rueh's feet.
"Throw the stick! Throw the stick!" he exclaimed bouncing up and down.
"Sit," Rueh said.
Red sat.
"Beg."
He obeyed.
"Chase your tail."
"But…the stick…"
"Do it." Red chased his tail.
"Good boy. Now…get the stick!" Rueh threw it hard. Red staggered after it. He was dizzy from chasing his tail. "He won't be back for awhile. It's in the Crater," Rueh shrugged. The others just shook their heads.
"Let's go inside. It's cold," Yuffie whined.
"You're cold?" Rueh asked.
"Yes!" Yuffie snapped.
"Funny I'm not."
Red got back 30 minutes later. "Throw the stick!"
"No…that's enough for today," Rueh said and patted the top of his head.
"Awww…"
"But Cloud I have a question for you," Sephiroth said giving him a strange look.
"Yeah? What?" Cloud asked dully.
"Why are there bright blue streaks in your hair?" Sephiroth replied.
"Rueh dyed his hair blue! But before that it was bright pink!" Yuffie answered before Cloud could. Sephiroth nodded as he tried to keep from laughing…without success. Rueh wore a big proud smile the entire time.
