Chapter Two- Egg Salad
Sora, Riku, Tifa, Cloud and Yuffie carried on all night at Riku's house, drinking and eating, and before you know it, everyone was on the floor asleep (cute!). A shadow crept across the room, stomach rumbling softly even after having devoured all the food on the ship. Muscles bulging, he stealthily tiptoed to the kitchen, and groaned out loud when all he could find was an egg salad in the fridge. Shrugging with hunger by his side, he began eating…
*~*~*
Riku woke up sometime in the night, hearing something 'clink' in the silence. He, suspecting something was up, crept into the kitchen.
"WHAT DA-?" Riku found a man with long silver hair, just like his own (but much longer) sitting at the table, with his face in the egg salad. Unconnected thoughts ran through Riku's head, such as how nobody had to be force-fed egg salad tomorrow, and how the man was so incredibly familiar-
Eyes blinking in confusion, Riku surveyed the man, and put to conclusion that he couldn't be a burglar, or else he wouldn't be sleeping in egg salad. He tapped the man sharply on the shoulder, and after receiving no response, yanked on one of the long silver hairs.
"OW! Don't touch my hair, you!" Sephiroth (hee, you all knew it was him, huh?) mumbled sleepily, before actually opening his beautiful green eyes, glancing grumpily at Riku.
" Well, don't you think it's really queer to find a stranger sleeping in egg salad in your kitchen?" Riku replied coolly, raising an eyebrow in question.
" I don't have a kitchen."came the short innocent reply. Sephiroth wiped his face clean of mayonnaise, and settled down comfortable in his chair, waiting for the next question.
Instead of the obvious confrontation, the door opened, and out came Cloud and Tifa, who were still invariably drunk from last night. Not noticing the stranger, Cloud, grinning like a drunk Cloud could, put his arm around Sephiroth, whom he'd mistaken for Riku.
Sephiroth grimaced at the strong scent of beer that had suddenly erupted at his shoulder. Riku, who couldn't help himself, burst out laughing, inevitably waking up Sora and Yuffie, who were still sleeping soundly a moment ago.
Sephiroth glanced once again at Cloud, whose arm was way above his own head, having to reach Sephiroth's tall shoulders. Although Cloud was tall himself, he only went up to Sephiroth's mouth, making it a slightly unusual sight.
Sora and Yuffie trooped in after, and glanced at the stranger. Sora's stomach grumbled loudly, and without thinking, he had devoured what was left of the egg salad… without even seeing the 'faceprint' that had previously been on it.
"Hey dude! Whatcha doin? HeeheEhehe…" Tifa garbled on, unconscious of the fact that she had her back turned to everyone and she was facing the kitchen blender. Yuffie sighed and pushed Tifa into a chair, where she slumped into a heap. By this time, Cloud was leaning on Sephiroth, snoring slightly. How can you sleep standing up? He must be REALLY drunk… looked to be what Riku and Sora was thinking. Sephiroth moved over a step, and Cloud slid onto the ground sleeping like a baby.
The four still standing were completely nonplussed at the situation at hand, and stood speechless for a while, unable to think at all. Before their brains could process what was going on, they all burst out laughing, even Sephiroth, who couldn't believe how in hell he could've got himself into such a situation.
The four, after considerable time, calmed down and cured their stitches and de-drunked Tifa and Cloud. When Cloud woke up…
"Huh… Hey! I know you! Sephiroth! What in the name of Shinra are you here? Hey!"
Sephiroth, at the sudden recognition of Cloud's voice, fled the scene. Cloud tried getting up, but his legs wobbled like jelly and he fell on Riku (again).
"Argh! Get off me, Cloud!" Riku's face burned bright red as Cloud tried to extract himself, and fell down again (ouch!).
"Who is he, Cloudy?" Sora's excited face appeared suddenly right in front of Cloud's, causing him to rebound off Riku and smash onto the fridge. Cloud slid down, with little Soras flying round and round his head…
*~*~*
After they revived Cloud of his red lump that was bulging on his head from the fridge, they settled him down and he told them a bit about the mysterious appearance of Sephiroth…
"Well, Sephiroth's a captain in that Shinra squad thing… I really admired him when I was there. It was said that he was never defeated, and that no one ever saw him cry over losses. But I wonder why… he's here? I mean, I haven't seen him since I quit Shinra, and that was a while ago…" Cloud's face clouded over with confused thoughts, and since no-one had a clue of what he was talking about, they all, (cept Riku) went to pack up the room in which they slept…
" Hey, Cloud, you alright? You seem sorta outta here…" Riku peered in a Sora-like fashion into Cloud's face, startling him with his stunning eyes. Cloud shrugged, unable to sort out anything after all the confusion and dilemma…
*~*~*
Sephiroth fled into the night, hearing Cloud rip off his cover. Why didn't I recognise him before? Those stoopid blue Shinra uniforms… you can't recognise anyone. But those eyes… those eyes are so familiar! So… hypnotising. Damnit! I just gave away my frigging identity…
Sephiroth pulled out a note slipped to him…with orders. With one word written in dripping red…
Satsujin (murder)
But murder who? Who would give him such an order- and why was he obeying it? All he knew… ALL HE KNEW, was that someone or something was after him, and he had to go through with this… he himself didn't know where to go, but somehow his soul did… or was mysteriously pushed by some mystical force, unknown to his world…
