A/N- Edited with the tunes of enya flowing through my head.
Chapter 15 Mako eyed training.
They returned, dressed in jeans and faithful old tank tops. The men were fully dressed in their leather.
"So…breakfast…" Alathia demanded.
"Go get a piece of fruit in the kitchen…" Sephiroth answered calmly, flicking his hair behind him.
The women obeyed, surprisingly, and came back to bug the men.
"WHAT NOW!" Alexia screamed happily, breaking the silence.
Kadaj jumped, spilling hot tea on his crotch, in Yazoo's hair, and in Seph's face.
"OW! DAMNIT!" he screamed, practically tearing off his leather pants.
Instead he opted to hold the crotch out until it cooled off.
Seph growled at him and wiped off the sticky tea from his face. Yazoo was gone, dunking his head in a sink to get the tea out of his hair. Loz laughed until Kadaj flicked the remnants in the cup on him.
Alathia bit her lip and nudged Alexia, trying as hard as she could not to laugh.
"Nice one…" she whispered when Kadaj went to change again.
"He's been so jumpy lately." Loz remarked to Sephiroth.
"I know…" Seph trailed off, obviously pondering the reasoning.
"Maybe it's 'cause he thought he saw Mako eyes in the forest last week," Yazoo said, coming back from whatever sink he'd been to.
"What?" Alexia questioned nervously.
"Kadaj and I were out looking around in the forest about a week ago. We were trying to find ANY soil that looked like it could grow a garden. We got separated somehow, and I found him screaming and climbing one of the stone trees!" Yazoo exclaimed.
"He kept sayin, 'I saw Mako eyes! Let's leave! Cloud's here!', but there was nothing there. And Cloud no longer has a Mako glow…but he swears it was Cloud. It waaaaas kinda funny seeing him up that tree like a cat. Not so funny dragging him out of it and all the way home."
"What are we all talking about?" Kadaj questioned innocently.
He had a dry pair of pants on, and glared evilly at Alexia when he walked back in.
She smiled sheepishly, and answered, "You."
He glared at the ground, and moved only his eyes to Yazoo.
"Mako eyes?" Kadaj asked warningly.
Yazoo smiled half-heartedly.
"It was freakin' awesome! Did he tell you how it chased me up a tree?!" Kadaj blurted out happily.
There was an awkward silence before the question registered in their minds.
"Yes." Alathia answered him.
"Haha! Yazoo had to drag me outta that tree! It was funny!"
The girls were a little taken aback. Where was the violent outburst? Where was his fit? Combat mode? Was that a mood swing?
"Yeah, Yazoo and I were out in the woods, and I wandered off to go see what these glowing things were…Then it stood up. Scared the shit outta me, cause it was taller than me…And then I heard it take a sword out of a sheath, and…hehe, I took off runnin' man! Didn't wanna stick around!" Kadaj laughed.
Everyone could tell he wanted to explain his side of the story, so they let him continue without interruptions.
"It musta been pretty fast, cause I could hear it running right behind me. And I was scared shitless when I heard it swing a sword at me. So…" he trailed off, a hint of embarrassment in his voice.
"There was a tree right in front of me. I climbed it, and screamed for Yazoo until I couldn't scream anymore. And that's it!" he smiled happily.
"Yazoo didn't see it, and I never saw it again…so they think I'm crazy."
"You are!" Alathia busted out.
Kadaj smiled evilly at her and replied, "I don't run around in my underwear."
"Oh…right, anyway…" Alathia tried desperately to change the subject.
"What made you think that up?" he asked curiously.
Alathia shrugged. She had no idea.
"What made me think running out was a good idea? What made me think fighting you was a good idea. I dunno! These things just come to me randomly." She replied lazily.
"…hm…I'll accept that." He answered just as lazily.
"Alright, anyway." Sephiroth finally interjected.
"You girls are going to be training for the first time today. We aren't going to throw you into it right away, but you will start soon. How about we give you your combat gear, and we'll show you around?" Sephiroth more stated than asked.
"Be warned. Kadaj and Yazoo volunteered to be your first instructors for training. They volunteered before they knew you. So…I'd be wary of their tricks. They'll be seeking revenge more than likely." Sephiroth purred, smiling menacingly at his young brothers.
"Damnit." Alexia whispered, not noticing Yazoo walk calmly behind her.
He wrapped an arm around her waist, and pulled her by the shoulder, close to him, so as to whisper in her ear.
"And I'm training YOU." He hummed into her ear, making her melt on the spot.
Such a sexy, vengeful voice.
Her comeback: "You gonna bring your sketch book?"
He froze, too angry to move. His lips curled menacingly, and Yazoo shoved her forward.
"Are you picking a fight with me?" she asked curiously, gaining her balance before smashing into Sephiroth.
She rushed back up to him, and got close to his face.
He didn't move. She didn't scare him in a threatening sort of way; she scared him because she was a girl (which he hadn't had the pleasure of being around many) who were unafraid of him. He was slightly taken aback, and tucked his chin in solemnly so that she wouldn't run into it.
There was an awkward stare down before he smiled and placed an arm around her shoulder. She smiled back happily, although confused.
"This is going to be so much fun! They're feisty already! Imagine how they'll be when they're fully trained! We'll be unstoppable; Cloud won't even know what hit his ass!" Yazoo exclaimed, tossing a thoroughly confused Alexia in the air and catching her around the waist.
Alexia, surprised at the toss of her little body, wrapped completely around him as soon as she landed in his arms. She clawed her hands into his back, and wrapped her legs around his hips, slightly surprising him.
"…or not…" he smirked, looking at the awkward girl wrapped around him.
"…My crack hangin out?" she asked Alathia, who was somewhere behind her.
"Nope" Alathia replied, giving her a thumbs up.
"Thanks." Alexia smirked, unwrapping herself from Yazoo's tiny waist.
"Let's…get them changed." Sephiroth sighed impatiently.
He was surrounded by morons.
Loz motioned for the women to follow him. What was that on his neck!?
Alexia gave a silent gasp, and grabbed Alathia by the arm.
"Look at that! Right there on his neck. Is that a hickey?" she whispered into Alathia's ear.
Alathia examined the brown spot on the back of his neck, and made a silent laughing gesture.
"Yeah!" she whispered, equally as amused.
The women bit their lips when Loz turned to face them.
"Go in there, your outfits are right through the door." He demanded and strode past them, not expecting to hear another noise.
Loz froze when he heard Alathia make a slurping/sucking noise, and Alexia burst into laughter.
Seeing the pure anger in his face, the women quit smiling, dashed into the room, and slammed the door shut.
Loz wasted no time trying to beat it down.
"Shit, what do we do!" Alexia snapped, still laughing and trying to hold the door shut at the same time.
"Go out in front of the door! Take off your shirt, and pretend you were changing!" Alathia whispered.
They dashed forward, flipping off their shirts, with no regard for their decency. The door smashed open and they shrieked (fake) surprised to see Loz standing there.
He turned pale as they covered themselves and screamed simultaneously,
"GET OUT PERV!"
The door slammed shut, and again, the girls were left to bask in their near naked glory.
