Chapter 35
The Beginnings of
True Power
Disclaimer: These things are getting boring…don't own don't sue, I'll kill if anyone takes my characters or the ones given to me by anyone else. Ask if you'd like to use them.
A/N: Hehe, so then name of this chapter and this chapter are really going to show off what Sephiroth and Daitona can do. Some one has said something about it before so I will please them, there will be a summon done in this chapter that you all will recognize if you have BEAT Final Fantasy VII. Now, I have a question for you all…you don't think it would really matter if I used Daitona in another story and have a lot of things change, do ya? Believe me, the story I have in mind is completely AU and only the characters will be from FF7. But you don't think I'm using Daitona too much, do you?
The Beginning of True Power:
The next day was spent packing up camp, checking gear, and relatively taking it easy. There were no complaints out of Santee or Gabon on that, they were both still pretty beaten up from their encounter with the female officer.
The day died to night, and the breeze started picking up; blowing in a nasty looking storm. When lightning ripped through the sky Sephiroth thought it time to leave. The cover of the storm world help him and Daitona to get up to the fort more easily.
The rain started as a drizzle an hour of so after they had started walking and it turned into an all out downpour when the group split and went there own ways.
Daitona and Sephiroth continued to the fort that loomed ahead only about three miles at that point.
Daitona grumbled behind Sephiroth as they walked, something about her shoes being soggy. The fort was right ahead of them now, so he slowed his pace until he was at her side.
"We're almost there." Daitona looked up at him with glowing eyes full of annoyance. "Are you ready?"
"Are you?" Daitona replied, the socking ran had put her in a bad mood long ago; it wasn't necessarily a bad thing either. She sighed, "Sorry, yes I'm ready. I'll take out the people on the walls to let you through first then I'll watch your back form there."
Sephiroth nodded then stopped. The fort was just beyond the trees now. The strips on Daitona's face, shoulders, and arms started to glow softly as she summoned up her unusual powers.
The area around the wall became covered in a thick fog that crackled with electricity. A lightning spell was shot into the cloud and wiped out everything from the tower on the far right to the tower on the far left.
Daitona and Sephiroth ran silently and quickly scaled the damaged wall. By now there were yells coming from inside the fort's wall alerting about the attack but were barely heard over the roar of the rain hitting the ground. Daitona used the materia Typhoon to clear an area as Sephiroth jumped down from the wall inside the fortress walls.
Sephiroth landed without hardly any impact at all then darted into the cover of the shadows. The few soldiers running around were being picked off by Daitona's lightning spells. When he was a good distance within the walls he sent up the signal. It was time to wake these Wutain idiots up.
Daitona recognized the signal immediately and her eyes flared brighter as she concentrated on maximizing her earthquake spell. The ground all around the fort started to rumble and to shake violently. A few unexpected explosions went off, but it was none of her concern. The spell gradually died away and as planed…hundreds of Wutain soldiers awoke and staggered out into the court with weapons unsurely in hand.
Daitona found Sephiroth and watched as he used many of the easier attacks she had taught him over the past few days. Much of her power had returned to her from being in such close contact with her materia and she didn't like the feeling she was getting just watching this battle and sometimes picking off some of the enemy.
Something strange stirred inside her…and started to make her change…
Sephiroth cut through the Wutain soldiers with much ease, but then more and more kept coming up behind him. The battle was becoming harder by the moment. 'Where's Daitona?' he thought as he took out three soldiers in one swipe of his Masamune.
A bright flash caught his eye from the wall and for just a moment his mind wasn't on the battle. He was hit in that moment and thrown to the ground. Sephiroth winced upon hitting the rock hard ground…something flew into the air from the wall.
Sephiroth reached for Masamune but found it out of his reach. He looked up to the advancing soldiers, then his eyes went wide. He threw up a powerful shield as fireball after fireball was thrown within the mass of soldiers. The fiery balls consumed all those it hit and charred any unlucky enough to have been near them.
Something landed near Sephiroth with a loud thud on impact then straightened up. His eyes stared at a pair of heavily armored boots that had some nasty looking long spikes running down the back of them. Along the front a row of short spicks ran from the foot up to the knee. At the knee the plate had several smaller spicks covering the entire thing. The armor around the thighs was loose and smooth. There were several shapes, designs and a strange writing on them.
Sephiroth realized the symbols, they were just like the ones on his left arm.
There was a huge armored breastplate covering the chest and stomach regions. The designs were carved deep into this piece. Huge shoulder pads covered slender shoulders; the armor on the shoulders also had long jagged like spicks that pointed away from the face as to not harm the wearer. Long gantlets were on each hand and ran up to just below the elbow. A row of spicks also bordered along the side of this and one long one extended beyond the elbow but was still in line with the row.
Then his eyes fell on the persons face. "Daitona…is that you?" The armor was huge compared to her but she was able to move with such ease and agility…almost as if the armor wasn't there at all.
What startled him the most wasn't the white gold of the armor, it was the huge silvery leather wings that jetted up from her back. Here eyes were glowing intensely with an unreal aqua color.
She spun around suddenly hissing and baring sharp teeth. Many of the soldiers that had thought it would be a good idea to sneak up behind her didn't think it was such a good idea anymore.
'This is what she was afraid to turn into,' Sephiroth thought as he was allowed to retrieve his sword and to stand back up.
Daitona backed up until the smooth backside of her armor was pressed against Sephiroth's back. "I'm sorry, I couldn't help it…but at least this battle shouldn't take very long now…"
"That's your Divinian form?" Sephiroth questioned as he watched the Wutain soldiers slowly move in. The ones facing Daitona were a little more reluctant in that move.
"One of them," Daitona admitted, "but this isn't the one I was afraid of. This is like a between state. Half dragon…dragoon have you; the next step is to a full dragon and as far as I can understand when you are younger it's hard to control."
"Oh, I see." The rain still pored down around them but not as hard anymore. "So what do you suggest we do, we're surrounded? We could fight…"
"No," Daitona responded. "Lets see if all that training really paid off. I have ten times as much energy now so…"
"I see." Sephiroth turned around and was careful in putting his arms around Daitona.
His minds eyes became in tune with Daitona's and he was surprised at what he saw. Her vision was as if it were as clear as day; not blurred by the night, not blurred from the rain…perfect night vision.
The pull of strength raise quickly and easily left him behind and soared to a point he had never felt before. For some reason his thoughts kept being pulled to an object in space…then Daitona turned in his arms to face him.
'Hold on tight,' she warned and carefully wrapped her arms as best she could around him, then flapped her wings once, twice…a third time and they were picked up off the ground and sent several feet into the air.
With another powerful thrust they were sent well above the ground. An object near by started to take shape high up in the night's sky, it was quickly becoming bigger. The beating of wings became rapid as Daitona flew at a grueling pace away from the soon to be, doomed fort. Close to a mile away she set down and threw up the strongest barrier she could.
Sephiroth looked up into the sky. The object in the sky was a huge burning meteor and was heading straight for the fort at an unreal speed.
"What is that?"
"What you were thinking of…it sounded good at the time but now…"
The meteor smashed into the fortress. Things flew up into the air and were obliterated as was everything the meteor touched; then it exploded sending a massive shock wave in every direction for miles.
Several minutes went by before it was safe to get back up. Sephiroth stood up and looked in the direction Fort Natic once was.
"What was that?"
"You were thinking something quite strange before I could decide on an attack and you summoned that…that was 'Super Nova'." Daitona explained.
Sephiroth's jaw dropped. "T-the town!"
"It's fine…look." Daitona pointed into the distance. A thick blue sheen covered a vast are just beyond the newly formed crater. "Come on, I'll take us back to make sure everything has been take care of there."
Sephiroth nodded in agreement though he knew the only reason she wanted to go back was to make sure the town was ok, there was no way any of those soldiers could have survived Super Nova.
The trip was quick considering they were able to fly thanks to Daitona. She landed on the sided closest to the town then looked to Sephiroth.
"I'm not sure what's going to happen when I let this transformation go. I feel weak right now inside so we should probably find a place to rest. I shouldn't go into the town looking like this, "Daitona stated worriedly.
"You're not going to pass out are you?" Sephiroth asked stepping closer to her.
She shook her head. "I don't know, but if I do you better not leave me here."
Sephiroth laughed. "No, I'll take you with me. You remember that."
She nodded then closed her eyes. With a sigh her armor shimmered and disappeared into nothingness. Daitona stood still for a second then fell forward in as a deep sleep consumed her almost instantly. Sephiroth caught her in his arms so that she would not fall.
"So you did decide to pass out," he sighed and picked her up; she was still just as light as he remembered when he had last picked her up.
He carried her towards the town that Daitona had landed them near. People were coming out onto the street to see what had happened. When they sighted a silver-haired man walking into town from the destroyed fort carrying a lip body many of them rushed to his aid.
They didn't care if they were Shinra or Wutain, it was a metrical they had survived the explosion. It happened that the body the man carried was that of a young girl. Neither seemed too badly hurt, tired and dirt maybe but not hurt.
"Is there an inn in this town?" Sephiroth asked the towns people.
"No, but if you don't have anywhere else to go you can stay in our guest bedroom for tonight if you like," one of the people offered.
Sephiroth recalled what Mifune had said and decided to ask. "Do the parents of the Wutain Commander Mifune live in this town?"
A woman with short golden-brown hair stepped forward. "I am his mother, sir. Is there something I can do for you?"
"There is. I think you might enjoy talking with this girl once she wakes up. Mifune himself even said so," Sephiroth spoke kindly to the ageing woman.
Her eyes sparkled at the thought they had met up with her dear son. "My son told you to come to us?"
"He said you'd like to meet her at some time…"
"Then come, you two can stay at my home tonight. If my son thought I should speak with the girl I will."
Sephiroth nodded in his thanks and followed the woman to her home down the block. It was surprisingly big for the little town and quite eloquent on the inside.
"My husband is the mayor of this town, but he had to leave this morning on business. He should be back tomorrow night," the woman explained as she lead the man to a room to where he could lay the girl down at.
"Mifune never told us your name…?" Sephiroth stated as he gently laid Daitona down on a large, soft bed.
"Oh, you can call me Saren," she smiled and looked dawn at the unconscious girl then frowned. "So what is your name and who is she?"
"My name is Sephiroth. She is Daitona. It's a translation from her native language. You'll have to ask her what her real birth name is when she wakes up."
"Does she need a doctor? What happened to her?"
"No, she's just tired. She spent all her energy putting up a barrier to protect this town and us."
"She held that barrier all on her own?" Saren asked in shock. "She must be very strong. Oh, where's my manners; would you like to get cleaned up and have a bite to eat before you go to bed?"
"That sound pleasant…I really haven't had a good shower since we left Mifune's base…and I am kind of hungry," Sephiroth admitted.
"Come here." Saren started out of the room; Sephiroth glanced at Daitona's sleeping form before he closed the door and followed Saren down the hall.
She opened a small hall closet and handed Sephiroth a towel and a washcloth, then pointed the bathroom out to him. "I'll get some of Jorum's clothes for you to wear to bed if you don't mind. They may be a little big but that'll do till I get your clothes washed for you in the morning."
Sephiroth blinked in surprise. "Uh…thanks, but I don't mean to bother you like that…"
"Nonsense," she stated firmly waving her hand. "Your cloths and the girls both are filthy and need to be washed. I was going to do my laundry tomorrow anyways, so it's really no problem."
Sephiroth nodded and went into the bathroom to take a nice long HOT shower. For once Daitona didn't beat him to the punch.
After he was done he towel dried his hair and dried off before opening the bathroom door with his towel wrapped securely around his waist. There was a pile of clothes at his feet along with a brush setting on top. He scooped them up and returned to the bathroom to dress.
It took some time for him to get the tangles out of his hair. He hadn't realized how long it had gotten. It usually only went to his wait but now it was long enough to go past his hips and covered his butt.
"I need to remember to get it cut sometime," he muttered to himself in distaste; he hated anything that got near his hair with the sole intention of cutting it. Daitona had always done it for him and had always done a good job…with scissors. All she had now were her swords and he wouldn't giver her the time of day to hack at his hair.
He sighed exiting the bathroom. The aroma of food met his senses. He followed the smell down the stairs and into the kitchen. Saren looked up at hearing him come in and smiled.
"Have a seat. The foods almost done; do you think your friend would like to get up and have some too?"
"I don't know if she'll wake up," Sephiroth said shaking his head. "And…she's my fiancée."
Saren turned to him with a bright smile and sat a plate of food down in front of him. "She must really be something to earn such a handsome young man as you. YOU must be something too, she is very pretty. Young and in love," she sighed and sat down at the table. "I remember when I met Jorum when I was 13 and I knew I was going to marry him. I hope all turns out well for the both of you."
"Thanks," Sephiroth said uncomfortably. "I've know her since I was eleven…she was nine at the time I believe."
"And how old are you now?"
"I turned 17 a little over a month ago."
Saren's eyes went wide. "You really are as young as you look! That would make her…15? When are you planning on getting married?"
'We never really thought about that…I almost forgot how young the two of us are…' Sephiroth shrugged and yawned.
"Oh well, eat up then get to bed. You're welcome to stay here as long as you like."
"Thank you for your hospitality."
"Good night." Saren stood up and left Sephiroth alone in the kitchen to eat. "I forgot Daitona was only 15…she acts so much older sometimes…" He nearly laughed as his words were wiped away by other memories. "And sometimes she acts like a three year old."
He finished his meal then went up to bed, still in thought.
****
Daitona slowly came too sometime during the early morning hours. Feeling warm and quite comfortable she decide to stay put until she had to wake up. The memories of the nights events were blurry to her and she really didn't care to recall them if they left her as drained as she felt. It wasn't hard for her to fall back into a restful sleep.
Sephiroth woke at feeling the change in Daitona's sleep. He was quiet because he wasn't sure if she was awake or not. After a few minutes she quitted down and he was sure she was back to sleep.
He looked over at the clock, it was almost 5'. He laid his head back into the pillow and concentrated on going back to sleep.
Some time later, in a light sleep, Daitona thought she heard a soft rapping sound like someone knocking on something. The sound really didn't register in her mind but when a voice followed the noise, her eyes flew open and she sat bolt upright.
She felt a hand rest on her shoulder and she slapped it away until she realized Sephiroth was standing next to the bed. She rubbed her tired eyes then looked up at him.
"Where are we, and who was that?" she asked in a raspy voice, her throat was dry and she'd have given anything at that point for a glass of water. She tried to clear her throat so that she wouldn't sound so weird when she spoke.
"Good morning. We're in that village; one of the residences here was kind enough to take us in. Would you like to get up and get cleaned up now? She has offered to wash our cloths for us this morning," Sephiroth informed.
"What will I wear till my cloths are clean?"
"I'm sure Saren will have something for you to put on for a while; she is the one who gave these to me to wear for now."
"Oh…" A light knock came at the door and a woman stuck her head through than smiled brightly at the young couple.
"Well good morning. I'd like to get you clothes washed so if you wouldn't mind?"
Daitona stared at her blankly then shook her head.
"Come here, let me get a good look at you." Daitona again gave her blankly and held it for a few seconds before doing as she was told.
Saren led her out into the hall then showed her to the shower. After giving Daitona a towel, washcloth, clothes and a brush she left her to get cleaned up.
Daitona spent nearly an hour in a scalding hot shower. She wanted to go back to sleep but didn't think it wise doing so in the shower. She quickly finished up and got dressed in the clothes that were provided to her. They were not to her taste or her size; Daitona had worn baggy clothes before but this was ridiculous. She stepped out of the bathroom and looked both ways down the hall.
Sephiroth came out of one of the rooms and walked up to her. "Feel better? Breakfast is done."
"I'm tired," Daitona sighed. "And these cloths…" She held her arms out. "I don't like them and they don't fit."
Sephiroth smiled at her them took advantage at her arms being held out and hugged her too him. He kissed her lightly on the tip of the nose then stated, "I think you should talk with Saren at breakfast."
"Why is that?" Daitona asked looking back up at him.
"Well, for a number of reasons…the main one in being she is Mifune's mother…"
"WHAT?!!" Daitona's head snapped around as if expecting the older woman to be behind her.
Sephiroth smile and let go of her. Taking her hand he lead her down the hall, down the flight of stairs, and into the kitchen.
"Seph…you need a hair cut," Daitona pointed out just and he led her into the kitchen. "You're hair's longer than mine."
Saren looked up from her newspaper and smiled at the two who had just entered. "Have a seat and I'll get your breakfast on the table," she instructed and again received that blank look from Daitona. She got up and went to the counter to where she had already made them a plate, then sat them on the table in front of where each of the two sat. She then sat back down herself.
After they were all done Saren took the plates to the sink then started up a conversation. "Sephiroth here tells me you two are engaged."
"Yeah…" Daitona answered absently.
"Well that's great! I'm happy for you two. So, why don't you tell me about yourselves. What you do, where you live, stuff like that."
"We work for Shinra. We're both SOLDIER's…" Daitona said slowly.
"SOLDIER's…as in that elite group Shinra has devised?" Saren shook her head. "Just don't go around here telling people that, I don't really care because I've already seen you two are nice people…especially don't tell my husband when he get home. So, go on, how is it that you got involved with Shinra?"
"We both grew up there…" Daitona sighed and decided it best to just go on. "We have different stories but they are very similar…my mother was an assistant for the scientist called Hojo. Hojo came into contact with a being that was not of this world…he was caught and locked away in a cold lab. My mom met this creature and fell in love with him…he was gentle to those who were kind to him and very dangerous to those who he disliked."
Saren's eyes were wide. "What was this creature called?"
"Hojo called him the 'Divine Being,' but in reality he was a Divinian. He was my father…the assistant's name was Sasha…I believe you knew her…" Daitona finished.
"S-Sasha was your mother?" Saren squeaked. "M-my daughter…she really did…" She whipped at the tears that had formed in her eyes. "She really did have a baby…Shinra wasn't lying!" She threw her arms around Daitona and hugged her tightly. "I knew there was something about you when I looked at your face last night but I would have never dreamt that it would really be you." She squeezed Daitona tighter.
Sephiroth laughed softly to himself at the look on Daitona's face. After Saren finally calmed herself she let go of the breathless girl and smiled at her.
"She said your name was going to be something else…what was it?"
Daitona sighed, she was getting really tired. "My true name is Jeozyhe…but translated into this language it is Daitona."
"Yes, that was the name she had told us…" More tears of happiness weld up in her eyes.
Daitona flinched thinking she was going to hug her again; Sephiroth patted her on the back to reassure her.
"You look tired," Saren finally noticed. "Would you like to go back up stairs and lay down for a while?" Daitona nodded her head gratefully. "Follow me. I don't want you to lay back down on those dirty sheet you slept in last night."
Daitona followed Saren up the stairs into another room that had a king size bed in the middle of it. "How's this?" Saren asked.
Daitona nodded and looked back at Sephiroth.
"I'll come back downstairs to talk to you later," he said politely and waited till the older woman was gone before lightly closing the door.
He turned around to find Daitona lying down on the bed already. He walked over and sat down next to her.
"So, what did you want to talk about?" he asked brushing a few damp strands of hair out of her face.
"You told her we were going to get married?" Daitona enquired.
"Well…I didn't want her to get the wrong idea about us. Here in Wutai it isn't strange for people to get married at a young age," he explained. "Plus…she's your grandmother and I didn't think it right to tell her otherwise. She asked when we were planning on marrying…I think now, she wants more than anything to see it."
"And you don't feel at all…oh, I don't know…strange; about all of this? You just asked me to marry you two days ago."
"But I've know you for seven years…that's a lot longer than most couples that are married."
"So what are you suggesting."
"Well…we sent Tseng and those two SOLDIERs to Chatawa to wait for us…we were on no time limit…how about in a week, if you still don't feel comfortable with this happening this early then we'll wait." Sephiroth paused, "But remember, this may be the only time that any part of your family will show up."
"Getting married is not what bothers me…it's just…I don't want this relationship between us to change that quickly…" Daitona said in and unsure voice.
"I'd never get out of line with you," Sephiroth assured softly and laid down facing her. "You know that…I do love you. I knew it a long time ago but denied hat I really felt. I would never do anything that you didn't want me too, all you have to do is to tell me to stop…I did before…and I apologized for not listening the first time…" He really did feel bad about that night back at Mifune's fort…not sorry for what he did but for not listening to her. "Plus," he smirked. "If I ever did get out of line you're strong enough to kick my ass, I know because you have before."
Daitona smirked. "Yeah, thanks a lot…" She yawned and closed her eyes for a few seconds then looked back up at him. "You pick when and where…I trust your judgment." With that she closed her eyes once more and snuggled closer to Sephiroth's warmth and fell asleep.

(A/N: I'm going to go ahead and get this over with *sighs and shacks head* Sorry this part will be so short I really couldn't find much on the subject.)

After a day and a half of talking things through Daitona and Sephiroth finally had to tell Jorum, Saren' s husband, and Saren what their plans were. In three and a half days they would marry for the sake of having family present as witnesses.
Saren was very happy with this decision and almost immediately dragged Daitona out the door to go buy things they'd need for the wedding.
After they were gone Jorum just shook his head, "Women."
Sephiroth sighed…they had left him there.
"So our granddaughter is getting married to you?" Jorum continued and sat across from Sephiroth at the kitchen table. "So, how long have you know her and where did you meet?" He almost laughed at the blank stare it was the same he always got when talking to Daitona.
"Well…" 'This is going to be a long day.'
****
'This is going to be a long day,' Sephiroth's voice echoed in Daitona's mind.
'Tell me about it,' she responded. 'She's buying everything that looks nice…what should I do?!'
'I don't know, run away?'
'Sephiroth! You're not helping anything, why did you just sit there; why didn't you come with us?' she whined.
'Would you have really wanted me there?' he asked smugly, he knew she liked shopping just about as much as he did…and that wasn't very much; too many people.
'YES!' A withering feeling came to his mind.
'What's wrong now?'
'What is THAT? That…that can't be clothes…I gonna run away now…''And hurt Saren's feelings? She can't be carrying that much money,' Sephiroth assured.
'You're right, she doesn't,' came her sarcastic reply. 'No, she has a credit card.'
Sephiroth nearly winced visibly. 'How about I come find you in a half hour? Try to get Saren to get just what you really need.'
'Easier said and done.'
"Come on Daitona, the dress shop is over here," Saren called.
Daitona sighed and started towards the shop following Saren. 'You better not be late Sephiroth…'
****
The town of Natic was in silence as the ceremony for the mayor's granddaughter took place in the late afternoon. The town's small church had a few decorations for the special event taking pace there.
Inside the small church, an ageing priest stood before the young couple at the alter. He had his hands raised over their heads as he said a short prayer to the heavens; when he was finished he lowered his hands and read the sacred words of bonding from his old book. Have finished all the prayers necessary for the ceremony, he looked at the two standing before him and spoke directly to them.
"Do you, Jeozyhe," the priest had a hard time pronouncing her true name correctly, "take this man as your lawfully wedded husband? To love, honor, cherish and to protect him, forsaking all other until death do you part?"
Daitona took a deep breath and silenced Sephiroth's voice in her head. This was it; she took a deep breath then answered, "I do."
The priest smiled warmly then turned to speak to Sephiroth. "Do you, Sephiroth, take this woman as your lawfully wedded wife? To love, honor, cherish and to protect him, forsaking all others until death do you part?"
Sephiroth squeezed Daitona's hand gentle before he too answered, "I do."
One of the children for the town came forward at that time to offer them the two rings; they were laying side by sided on a velvet like pillow. Daitona retrieved the one she had bought for Sephiroth, then turned to face him. She said her vows silently, but Sephiroth could hear ever word of it as her words rang through his head. When she was finished she slipped the gold band onto his ring finger.
That finished, Sephiroth took up the slender gold band he had bought for her. He repeated the vows Daitona had said only now direct to her. Finishing, he slipped the ring onto her finger then together turned their heads to the priest.
"With the power bestowed upon me by our gods do I now pronounce you Husband and Wife. You may now kiss the bride." He silently closed his book as the couple turned back to each other and shared a kiss that would seal their vows.
Sephiroth smiled down at Daitona after the ceremony was over then crooked his elbow letting Daitona tuck her arm through it. They walked back down the isle towards the church doors quickly, as the people who had attended the union threw rice. Once outside they were led to the towns Community building for the reception the mayor had planned for them.
'This is way more than I ever expected,' Daitona thought as she sat down at one of the long tables that had been set up inside the building.
'Yeah,' Sephiroth responded and sat next to her.
Jorum sat at the head of the table and Saren sat across from Daitona. Jorum stood up to make a toast to the newlyweds. After that, a huge dinner of roasts, chicken, ham, and a lot of other kinds of meat to go along with about every type of fruit and vegetable imaginable, along with a verity of deserts, was served to everyone who was in attendance.
After a time the band struck up a tune and the dancing began. Sephiroth danced the first dance with his new wife, after that he danced will all who wanted as did Daitona. Hours later the last song rolled around and they were able to dace with each other before the reception ended.
"My feet are killing me," Daitona sighed and wrapped her arms around Sephiroth as he did the same. "I'd do anything for those dang military boots of mine, there not half as bad as these lousy dress shoes."
Sephiroth laughed softly. "You look nice. This is the first time I've ever seen you in a dress."
"It's the first time I've ever BEEN in a dress; that's probably why. It makes me feel weird…small and short."
"Did they have to cut your hair to get it braided like that?" Sephiroth noted the complex braids that started from root all the way to end.
Daitona wrinkled her nose, "They wanted to but I wouldn't let them…it did get a trimming though. I cut more of your hair off than they did mine."
"And thank you, I really was getting annoyed sitting on it like that all the time." He kissed her lightly on the lips as the song ended.
The people who had attended expressed their congratulations once more before their goodbyes. Slowly the building became quieter until finally all of the guest had left leaving Saren, Jorum, Sephiroth and Daitona.
"You look tired dear," Saren pointed out kindly. "Why don't the both of you go back to the house while me and Jorum finish up here."
"You sure you don't want us to stay and help clean up?" Sephiroth asked.
Jorum shook his head. "That's quite all right. We'll be fine, go ahead and go back to the house. Well be back in a few hours."
Sephiroth and Daitona both thanked them then headed back to the house for the night…

-End Chapter 35-
A/N: Oh my-gosh…I think this is my longest chapter yet. And as you probably notice nether Daitona or Sephiroth really paid much attention during there own wedding until the end. I know I didn't really spend that much time with the end there but if anyone has any suggestions I'll be more than happy to rewrite it for you all. As I said, I don't really have a knowledge of the subject and I really couldn't find much about it. All the weddings I've been too I either didn't pay any attention at all of I was so board that I fell asleep…
Ok, I really need some ideas to go on…or suggestions. There will be another chapter for the stay in Town Natic and Seph and Dai's departure and arrival at Fort Chatawa.
NOTE: I have a time limit on the Internet as of now so updates will be spaced more than I thought. But when I post expect more than one chapter most of the time unless it's a really long chapter. See ya!
