L-sama was pleased with the chaos she'd caused. Slowly, people from one world were finding themselves on the other and vise versa. The confusion was so wonderful to watch! And she hadn't caused a bit of it... well, except for the weird dreams some people were having. After all, how would the couples she'd made dream together ever find each other and realize that what they saw was actually another person? She grinned, sitting back as she watched the most interesting of the pairs.
Some white haired man and nerdy fanfic writer. Yes, THAT had been an interesting pairing... sadly though, they'd hit off well and actually fell in love. But, now things were starting to get interesting... Forces were beginning to stir on his world and somehow he seemed to be connected with one of them.
The urge to meddle arose in L-sama, but she forced her hands down into her lap once more, watching the bubble-like universes spin and twirl. No... she'd see what happened first- then try to screw people over more.
Katy stood a step behind Sephiroth, face covered by the goofy storm trooper helm, arms limp at her sides... though from her hip hung the standard issue gun of all regular soldiers- the same one she'd swiped off a soldier the day before. Sephiroth was speaking to three others, saying something or other at them. Zack didn't look at all surprised and made no comment... Cloud looked like he wanted to say something and Bryon didn't look at all interested... except in staring at Katy who suppressed the self conscious urge to twist her hands nervously.
Sephiroth started forward, pretending to ignore Katy nearly completely, Zack, however, made a motion for her to come along and she padded forward. Watching as the first classer turned, heading after Sephiroth, Katy felt Cloud and Bryon fall into pace with her, both looking at her though she did her best to ignore them. Bryon spoke... something about being green. Cloud snorted, somewhat dull blue eyes gazing down at her.
Lifting her chin somewhat, Katy quickened her pace and pretended to not care about what they were saying. They'd probably find out in a moment or two... A grin smeared her lips and the other two dropped back, falling into conversation of their own, hands carrying their helms. Katy walked between the two groups, rather well protected when she thought about it. Though, with just Zack and Sephiroth there... yeah, she was well protected.
The airport was busy with many plains taking off and landing, going to places all over the world. They made their way across the airfield, towards a smallish plane that looked only good enough to get them maybe across the inner sea and big enough for MAYBE a bit of leg room. Sephiroth, showing complete trust in the airport crew didn't check over the plane but simply opened the hatch and climbed in, Zack standing beside the door and helping her into the plane by a boost up from the waist.
Inside were two rows of seats across either wall and two pilot's chairs. Katy sat beside Sephiroth on the bench across from the hatch near the back of the plane, being careful not to get TOO close to him and tip Cloud and Bryon off as to what she wasn't. Finally, Zack climbed in last, pulling the hatch closed and sitting in the co-pilot's chair next to it. No one else had sat on the side Sephiroth and Katy had taken. Taking a moment when no one was looking, Katy tapped her helm covertly, catching a nod from Sephiroth, she pulled it off and tossed it to one of the empty seats near them, leaning against his shoulder. He shifted, putting his arm around her and letting her get comfortable against him. "Sleep," he said softly in English, "Take time."
Giving a nod, she curled up across his lap, taking up the seat she'd put her helm in. Cloud looked over, blinking in shock. "Wait..." he said slowly, "That's... that's a girl!"
Zack looked towards his friend, giving a smirk, "Yes. She's a girl. Sephiroth isn't gay after all."
Bryon looked back from starting up the plane. "Isn't that one of the girls we've been looking for?"
Once more Zack gave a smirk, "Actually... now that you mention it... I think so. The other one's my girlfriend, but you're not going to tell anyone, are you?" Bryon sighed, shaking his head.
Cloud scowled, "Damn you... you always get all the cute ones!" and he was laughed at by Zack.
"You'll get lucky one of these days!"
Looking back at Sephiroth and Katy once more, Cloud finally sighed and resigned himself to feeling motion sick. After all, he was already starting to feel queasy... and the sight of someone laying in Sephiroth's lap- and the general allowing it- was quite disturbing.
The plane taxied forward slowly, turning around to face the opposite direction. In a stuttering grumble, the engines revved to full and the plane started down the runway, gaining speed, and under the firm handling of Bryon, the take off was relatively smooth. Katy lay still in Sephiroth's lap, fingers playing with the strip of embroidered cloth that held up his boots, a vicious grin suddenly coming to her lips.
Giving a firm yank on the strip, she untied it- Sephiroth's boot went slack and the general gave a few words of protest. Trying to catch Katy's hand, she played keep away from him, wiggling around in his lap before finally stuffing her hand under her chest and in the crack between his legs where he would have to pry her up to get it.
"Don't make me tickle you," he warned, and she merely giggled, face pressed against his thigh. Zack glanced back at Sephiroth's voice, sniggering somewhat at the sight of a girl having the great general Sephiroth so whipped. Turning forward again, the shriek of surprise made even Bryon look back. What they found was rather... shocking.
Sephiroth was tickling the redhead in his lap- she giggling and curled into a ball, though she was only giving the barest of wiggles. Finally, she flopped onto the floor, giggling still... but slowly pulled herself up onto Sephiroth's knee, holding the strip of cloth up to him. Giving a snort, the general took it from her hand, watching as she covered the leg she'd removed the band from, making it impossible for him to put it back on.
Finally, Bryon turned back to flying the plane, a look of confused shock on his features. "How the hell... did she manage to do that..." he said slowly.
Eventually, both she and Sephiroth had fallen asleep, though only after a bit more roughhousing in the back of the plane. His hands settled firmly around her where she sat in his lap, curled up with her face against his neck, glasses removed and set on the seat with her helm. Sephiroth's head was resting against hers, bangs falling across the golden red of her hair.
Zack looked back at them, a slight smile touching his lips as he stretched out in the seat, unable to stand in the plane and get as good a stretch as he wanted. He did what he could though, and that was enough. "Hey Cloud," he called over to the blonde who was looking quite green. "You alright?"
Cloud looked up, giving a slight nod. "Yeah, good enough anyway." He looked back, then towards Zack once more, "So all this time you two've known where those girls were?"
Giving a nod, Zack grinned, "But hey, she's made him easier to deal with in training. He doesn't nitpick as much when he's distracted by thinking about her."
Reluctantly, Cloud nodded. "But what about the orders..?"
Brown eyes stared at blue for the longest time before Zack answered, "To hell with the orders. Hojo's the one that wants them. The sick bastard thinks its fun to hurt ladies. Well I'm not going to stand for it, and if you want the complete truth, I was the one who snuck them out in the first place. Sephiroth knows, he's known where they've been staying all this time, and he's even been hiding more Cetra like her."
Cloud's eyes widened and he sat back, "You're kidding..." as Zack shook his head, the blonde swallowed, "Damn... he's... changed."
"Love does that to you," Zack replied with a laugh in his voice, sitting back, folding his hands behind his head and ankle resting on the other knee.
