Tifa opened the front doors to the mansion and stepped inside. She could hear shouting from the kitchen
"What's going on in there?" she asked
"I would say that Sephiroth is having his 'second-childhood' but he never had one seeing as he was probably brought up in a container" said Nanaki "Which makes it his first childhood"
"At the age of twenty something with that much power?" Tifa said with a smile on her face.
"I don't like eggs!" Yuffie shouted
"Yes you do!" shouted Sephiroth
"How do you know!" Yuffie screamed
"Because I'm Sephiroth! I know everything!" he shouted back but couldn't hold his composure and started laughing.
"You sound like the old Sephiroth" said Yuffie "Except he was evil, wasn't obsessed with cooking and wasn't a complete pansy"
"I'm not a pansy!" said Sephiroth
"You so are" said Yuffie "Pansy!" she screamed. The two of them began to laugh. Tifa went over and stuck her head around the door
"How's it going?" Tifa asked
"Okay" said Sephiroth
"Who gave you the right to answer? Bitch!" shouted Yuffie "It's going okay" Yuffie said to Tifa. Sephiroth was laughing while trying to fry an egg without knocking it out of the frying pan.
"I'm guessing enhanced strength can be a burden?" Tifa asked Sephiroth
"Only when it comes to cooking" said Sephiroth "I've learnt to control it though"
"How is everything back at the house?" Yuffie asked "Barret seemed pretty, grr"
"He's calmed down, he doesn't like the fact that I'm teaching Sephiroth" said Tifa
"Why not?" Sephiroth asked "If I went insane I'd probably get back my old memories so the training would be redundant" Tifa, Yuffie and Sephiroth laughed together
"Good point, I'll use that one" said Tifa
"Sephiroth?" Yuffie asked
"Yes?" Sephiroth asked, suspicion creeping into his voice. Yuffie smiled when she heard it
"Can we dye your hair?" she asked "Ginger!" Sephiroth tucked his hair into the back of his black t-shirt.
"No" he said
"Come on bitch!" she screamed at him. Sephiroth and Tifa laughed again.
"No" said Sephiroth
"Come on!" she shouted
"No!" Sephiroth shouted at Yuffie startling her. Yuffie waved her arms and kicked the cupboard at her feet and pretended to cry
"Cloud!" Yuffie screamed "Sephiroth's being, unfair!" she screamed the final word louder than ever.
"Sephiroth!" Cloud shouted from somewhere in the manor "Be nice!"
"No!" Sephiroth shouted at the roof; Cloud must have been in the bathroom taking a shower.
"Fine!" Cloud shouted "Yuffie! Be quiet!"
"Argh!" Yuffie screamed at the roof. The three in the kitchen began to laugh, Out in the hallway Nanaki shook his head but still had a smile on his face
"Children" he muttered while he plodded away towards the garden; time for him to get a nice rest in the sun.
"Who's this guy?" Sephiroth asked indicating to the window. Cid was walking down the garden path
"Cid Highwind" said Tifa who went to open the door.
"Ask him if he wants breakfast" said Sephiroth. Tifa opened the door and Cid nodded ot her a he walked inside.
"Where is he?" Cid asked
"Walking freak show…through here" said Yuffie.
"Hey!" Cid heard Sephiroth say. Cid stepped into the kitchen
"Hello Sephiroth" said Cid shaking Sephiroth's hand
"Hello, breakfast?" he asked
"Alright then" said Cid "Barret's cooking isn't too good"
"So I've heard" said Sephiroth "Actually it was pretty difficult to miss when you've got her screaming it at you" he pointed at Yuffie with the spatula.
"Hey!" Yuffie said "Don't flick at me!"
"Or you'll what?" Sephiroth asked
"Kick your ass!" Yuffie screamed at him. Suddenly Yuffie went quiet holding her throat. Sephiroth raised an eyebrow
"What's going on?" he asked Tifa who was smiling
"Silence" Tifa said "You must have done it by accident or something"
"Oops" said Sephiroth "Sorry Yuffie" he turned back to the cooking. Yuffie waved her arms but when she couldn't get Sephiroth's attention she kicked him in the back of the leg causing his knee to slam against the cooker.
"Damn" said Sephiroth rubbing his knee. Yuffie waved her arms about like a maniac.
"Is there anything I can do?" Sephiroth asked
"I might have an echo screen back at the house" said Tifa "I'll just go get it" Tifa turned and ran over to the door
"Take your time!" Sephiroth called. Yuffie tried slapping him but Sephiroth moved.
"So how is everything now?" Cid asked Sephiroth
"Fine, well good but it's getting better" said Sephiroth as he flipped the eggs.
"How much do you remember?" Cid asked
"Nothing about my childhood, flashes when I fought against you and full scenes from when I was in Soldier, obviously not in that order" said Sephiroth.
"So you haven't got your full memory?" Cid said
"Not yet, Cloud's filled me in on what I did though" said Sephiroth "Sorry about the Highwind, seeing as you wouldn't have been there if I hadn't and your ship wouldn't have been destroyed"
"I can rebuild" said Cid with a shrug "I can build something grander, even but thanks for the apology" Sephiroth began to dish out their food.
"Here you go" said Sephiroth handing a plate to the silent Yuffie then handing another plate to Cid who thanked him
"The dining room is through there" said Sephiroth. Cid thanked him and Yuffie glared at him before she left. Sephiroth threw the pans into the sink and left the room. Minutes later Tifa came back and handed Yuffie the echo screen. Once Yuffie downed it everyone sat in silence, a silence that was no doubt about to be shattered.
"Did it work?" Sephiroth asked
"You bastard!" Yuffie shouted at Sephiroth who laughed and clapped.
