CHAPTER 3:
Lending A Helping Hand
DISCLAIMER: Don't own final fantasy 7 and never will.
As Emi started walking she felt as if someone was stabbing her leg. Emi suddenly noticed that her leg was a deep shade of pink. The piece of the sheet she tore of was drenched in blood.
'Crap. The cut's going to get infected.' She thought to herself. 'How the hell am I gonna get to my house? Maybe Tifa will help me.' Her spine chilled at the thought of asking Tifa to help her save a man that should and deserved to be dead. 'Forget that thought.'
"Sephiroth." No answer.
"Sephiroth!" Still no answer.
"SEPHIROTH!!"
His eyes slightly opened.
"You've have to help me get you to my house. It'll take me forever to get you there on my own."
He looked at Emi like she was crazy. "But, why?"
"Ask me questions later. Just try your best and try not to talk to much, you don't have enough energy."
She limped around the teared and wrecked books of the library. She went to take a look in the coffin room to see if Vincent was there.
'I wish he was here.' Her face turned a light shade of pink. 'What am I thinking! Even if he was here I wouldn't have the guts to tell him how I feel.' She thought.
"What's wrong?" Sephiroth asked in a concerned way.
For a second Emi had totally forgot what she was supposed to be doing. She mentally slapped herself. 'Snap out of it Emi.'
"Nothing. We should get going now. And what did I tell you about talking! You sound like you're out of breath." Her face returned to its normal color.
She headed for the spiral staircase. As she headed up she felt the steps wobble little and almost started to lose her balance. She swiftly grabbed the wall. The stairs did not feel to safe for two people to be walking on, so she tried to speed up the pace without hurting her leg or Sephiroth for that matter. Once they got up she slowed down again and she felt the pain in her leg die down a tiny bit.
'Why am I doing this? I'm in no condition to be helping someone right now! There's sometimes where I wish I had listened to my bad conscious.' She thought regretting she had come to the mansion at all.
For her it felt like it took her a day to get to the door of the mansion. She shoved the door open with her hand. A ton of dust flew around them. She put her hand up to her face and let out a cough that made her throat feel horrible! Emi felt like she was probably suffering as much as Sephiroth was. Probably not though.
As she walked in the village she noticed the lights to Tifa and Cloud's house were on.
"Oh no. Why do they have to be here now." She moaned. "They'll not only kill you but they'll kill me."
The pace of her walk got faster and the pain in her leg got greater and greater. Finally they got to the entrance of her house. Emi kicked the door down without a second thought. She sat Sephiroth down on the couch. She smelt the air in her house and smelt an awful stench.
"Just lie down there while I start the tub, because you don't exactly smell like dandelions." Emi stated.
'Oh I forgot he's gonna need new clothes.' She swung open her closet and dragged out a green and gold colored chest. She lifted a wooden panel from the floor and removed a hidden key from the small area under it. She unlocked it and inside the chest was the belongings of her late mom and boyfriend's.
"I swore I would never use any of their stuff." She whispered to herself. "I wanted to keep all their stuff how they left it but... I have to!" She grabbed Damien's jet black suit and trench coat.
As Emi walked down the stairs she felt tears slide down her cheeks. She kept thinking about what happened.
'Get a hold of yourself Emi and STOP acting so weak!' she thought
She placed the clothes on top of the sink. Emi reached into the cabinet and pulled out a wash cloth, an unused toothbrush, shower gel, and shampoo. Emi assumed he would need shampoo with his beautiful long silver hair and it felt so soft and tamed. He seemed like a man who took a lot of pride in his hair. "The water feels nice. It's warm and soothing." She said as she put her hand in the water to test it.
She advanced back to where she had left Sephiroth. Sephiroth was lying down on the sofa just gazing upward at the dull white color of the ceiling. His eyes were fully open so she could see the pretty, glowing light green color of his eyes. Emi walked besides him and he suddenly moved his head to the side and stared at her.
"Sephiroth I'm gonna need you to take a bath. I'll help you a little." She said
"I'm feeling a bit weak. Could you help me get there?"
"Of course."
"What am I saying! Who are you and why are you helping me anyway?"
"My name is Emi and I'm helping you because you're hurt and it's the right thing to do."
Emi got Sephiroth up and didn't even give him a chance to speak. She led him to the bathroom. Emi knew that for the next few hours or even days he was going to be questioning her.
