Chapter 10
A chance meeting
Kikyo was sitting in the shrine she was currently taking up resistance in as she started hearing strange sounds from outside. Kikyo got up as her soul snakes started moving around her. She went outside and saw the strangest thing yet. It was a massive and it didn't look like a demon, but some kind of flying ship. It was landing close to the ground. It was now hovering over her shrine as a man with short sliver hair descended from the ship. He was big and muscle and he walked up and approached the Miko. Kikyo eyed the man curiously because the clothes he wore were unlike anything type of clothing she had ever seen before in her life.
"Are you the woman who can cure almost any illness and injuries" Loz asked. "I suppose I am her" Kikyo replied. "Then my master wishes for an audience with you. He is plagued by devastating injure and we thought you might be able to help him" Loz asked. Kikyo began to feel a very powerful malevolent force inside the ship. The aura of this being was unlike anything Kikyo has ever felt before. She couldn't tell if this aura belonged to a demon or a human. She was certain on one fact. This being who or whatever it was is stronger than Naraku. "I am not sure if I can help your master, but I will examine him" Kikyo said. "Excellent. Then follow me" Loz said as he went up a rope ladder and both Loz and Kikyo entered the airship.
Kikyo walked by Kadaj, Koga Yazu and the few members of the wolf tribe. She detected powerful auras from them like she did from Loz, but the other one she felt was indeed powerful. Kikyo was led into the operations room where she found Sephiroth sitting in his wheelchair at the head of the long table with his back turned to Kikyo. Kikyo slowly approached the man dressed in white robes as Sephiroth turned his wheelchair around and he saw the Miko before him. "Are you the one I have heard about" Sephiroth asked as his face remained hidden underneath his hood. "Indeed I am. I am curious what seems to be wrong with you" Kikyo asked. "I have lost my ability to walk and with it most of my power. I have within my disposal the way to restore myself, but the wound I received seems to be unnatural" Sephiroth said.
Kikyo moved closer to Sephiroth. She could tell that the wound was in fact unnatural. Kikyo detected some kind of curse planted on Sephiroth to prevent him from regaining his ability to walk and it had apparently kept most of his power suppressed as well. "You are right this wound is unnatural" Kikyo said as she extended her hand forward and put it close to Sephiroth's chest and her hand started glowing. A few seconds later her hand stopped glowing and Kikyo said "I removed what seemed to be some kind of curse which kept you from recovering your ability to walk and it suppressed what ever power you had. However you do not have your ability to walk yet. Your body needs time to heal and if you have anything that can help speed up the healing process will do fine. It is only a matter of time before you can walk again" Kikyo told the general. Sephiroth felt his body was growing stronger and he was curious about this woman. He felt many things from different creatures both human and demon, but this woman was different. It was like he wasn't feeling any life in her at all. It was almost like she was dead.
This woman did interest Sephiroth because he wanted to know if she was human or something else. Sephiroth looked up at her while his face was still hidden by the hood and asked "excuse me my dear, but I perhaps have you name?" "I am called Kikyo" Kikyo replied. "Thank you Kikyo for removing the curse from me. I am grateful. You may leave now if you chose" Sephiroth said. Kikyo turned around and started walking away, but she stopped and asked "Excuse me. You know my name, but I do not know yours" Kikyo looked over her shoulder at Sephiroth. "I am known as Sephiroth" Sephiroth replied as his glowing green eyes were seen under his hood.
"Tell me Sephiroth; why do you possess such an unusual aura. Aura isn't that of a human or a demon. So what are you really" Kikyo asked. "How very observant" Sephiroth said as his respect for this woman heightened. "I will answer your question if you tell me why I am not sensing any life force within you" Sephiroth said to her. "Then I should be complementing you on being very observant. There are very few out there who can figure out that I am dead and this body you see me in was created from the soil from my grave site and my bones." Kikyo said. Sephiroth was shocked and never before in his life has he seen such a thing. He never thought he would actually see a human who was dead and yet that was still walking the earth. But Sephiroth was a little freaked out by what Kikyo was. "This world has many interesting creatures" Sephiroth thought.
"I see then. I must say for a dead woman you look good" Sephiroth said as he gave a quiet laugh. "Well thank you" Kikyo said with a light grin. "Now that you have told me what you are then I suppose there is no harm in telling you what I am" Sephiroth said. "I am a creature born with the cells of the most powerful Certa known to my world to create the most powerful being ever created" Sephiroth said. "I see, but then why is the most powerful being crippled" Kikyo asked with a coy smile. "I had some set backs, but thanks to you I shall be strong once again" Sephiroth said. "You sound confident, but I am a bit curious how humans could have created something like you" Kikyo asked. "The best place to learn all you need to know will be at Nibelheim in my world. At Nibelheim there is a mansion and underground in a hidden library you can find all of the information you'll need" Sephiroth said. "Your world" Kikyo asked. "I am from a different world and if you are wondering where this portal to my world is you can find it on a mountain top near a village where I think a woman named Kaede lives" Sephiroth informed her. "I think I have heard rumors of such a cave. You know I think I will pay a visit to this world" Kikyo said as she started walking away.
"Farewell my dear" Sephiroth said as Kikyo walked out of the room. "Its only farewell for now Sephiroth; I have a feeling we will meet again" Kikyo said as she left the airship. "I hope we do" Sephiroth said with a grin. Once Kikyo was off the airship it took off into the sky as Kadaj entered the operations room and approached Sephiroth and said "Sir was it wise to tell her about you and where information about you can be found?" "I asked her what she was and she answered that question so I answered her questions in return it is only fair. Beside I kinda like her a little" Sephiroth said as he moved out of the operations room and looked out the window. He noticed something flying several feet below them.
"Loz pass me the telescope" Sephiroth asked as Loz passed Sephiroth a telescope. "Interesting a woman flying on a feather and what is this. The Certa woman who I thought I had killed and Jenova" Sephiroth said as he a wide grin appeared on his face. "Follow them" Sephiroth commanded. "Follow who" Koga asked. "Them" Sephiroth said as he handed Koga the telescope. Koga used the Telescope to look at what Sephiroth was seeing and he recognized Kagura on the feather. "It Kagura one of Naraku's servants" Koga said. "Then our enemies are together. Koga while don't we follow them to their master and we kill them" Sephiroth said. "I like the idea. Let's follow them" Koga said as the Highwind maintained a high attitude above Kagura while Sephiroth kept an eye on them. Kagura and Jenova never knew that they were being followed.
Meanwhile back in Cloud's world Sesshomaru, Rin and Jaken had to leave the marsh area when some men from a club of environmentalist told them to stop killing Midgar Zoloms since thanks to Sesshomaru's slaughtering of the large creatures had not only created a large pile of Zolom carcasses, but Sesshomaru put the Midgar Zoloms on the endangered species list. Sesshomaru had already lost interest in killing Midgar Zoloms, but his enemy skill materia he found while passing through the ruins of Midgar had acquired the enemy skill Beta.
Sesshomaru reached the next place on his list to visit and it was Fort Condor. Sesshomaru and his group reached the inside of the place and met with the materia shop owner. "Hello sir what I can do for you" the shop owner said. "What kind of materia do you have" Sesshomaru asked. "We have a fire, ice, lighting, and restore materia available for sale" the store owner replied. "And what can the materia you have do" Sesshomaru asked. "Fire materia cast a powerful offensive fire-based spell. Ice materia cast a powerful offensive ice-based spell. Lighting materia cast a powerful offensive lighting-based spell and Restore materia can cure and heal many injuries you sustained in battle" the shop owner said. "Excellent then I shall purchase one of each" Sesshomaru said as he gave the shop owner the money he needed to buy them. The shop owner gave Sesshomaru the materia. Sesshomaru, Jaken and Rin left the fort to head for Junon.
An hour later Sesshomaru, Jaken and Rin reached upper Junon, but Sesshomaru had to deal with the guard who stood in front of the elevator. Sesshomaru entered the first store he saw and it was the materia shop. The selection they had was a sense, seal, restore, heal and revive materia. Sesshomaru purchased the seal materia then he left. Sesshomaru added the materia with his other materia on his four slots he acquired in the mythril mines. On his four slots he had equipped enemy skill materia, poison, earth, lighting, fire, ice, heal, and restore materia. He did alternate between his heal and his seal materia so he could strengthen them as he went along. He all found a mastered All materia next to the body of a dead warrior he found in the marsh while killing Zoloms.
He saw no need to equip it, but he held on to it. He had also found a summoning materia with him. It was a Choco/Mog materia and since Sesshomaru thought it was a weak summon monster he gave it to Rin as a gift. Sesshomaru went around to the other stores and found nothing else wroth buying, so he went to the dock and left on the next boat for Costa del Sol. While on the boat Jaken was examining his materia that he got with some Gil he was able to get from killing weak monsters with his staff. The materia he had was only an ice and a seal materia. Rin was sitting by their two headed dragon that Sesshomaru had some difficulty from keeping people from killing it. Sesshomaru stood next to Rin looking out at the ocean as he was just looking out at the distance just thinking of how many ways to kill Naraku when he returned.
Meanwhile at the town of Nibelheim; the city was quiet because the town was abandoned since Shinra could no longer pay the people who lived there to keep up the act. The town had become some kind of ghost town and no one had even visited the town since. However one woman had entered the town and was walking to the mansion. Kikyo with the help of her soul snake creatures had brought her to the cave within minutes and she had quickly gone through the portal. Upon the exiting the cave she was able to easily find the Icicle inn and she acquired a map and from there her soul snatching servants brought her to the town. She walked into the mansion and was attacked by some monsters. Thanks to her bow and arrow she took all of them down.
She searched the house for the passage way to the library. She had found the library when she found the passage way into the underground tunnel was still open. She walked down the pathway and entered the library. She found the whole place was filled with book as Kikyo searched for a book that might explain how Sephiroth was created. She then opened a book titled Jenova project and started reading it. Judging by number of book here she knew reading them all would take a while.
