Sorry it's taken so long to update; I've been really busy and haven't had the time to update anything… I'd expect I'll continue to be a little sporadic for, maybe, a couple weeks…
Aerithism
Seven: Living with an Enemy
"Meow'ar… Meow, purr…" I hate being a cat…
Teef's eyes watched as a bird landed upon Cirrus's window. It's taunting me again… Flying bastard. "MEOW!" Hello? Cat here.
Red-brown eyes rolled at the feathery creature. "… Puurrrur…" … I am bored out of my mind. I wish I could have a drink…
The bedroom door opened, and Teef turned to the sound. She could make out the flapping of the bird flying away. Of course. The stupid bird is scared of a door and not me…
Cirrus poked his blond head into the door. His hair flopped down over his hair. "Hey, Teef… Sorry I was gone so long." He entered the room and sat upon the bed beside his feline friend. His hand stroked the cat's fur.
"Me-OW…" Little lower… "Puurrr." That's the spot.
Heiress's eyes widened at the sight of the not-so-Forgotten City. The once empty city was filled with people. Her small mouth dropped open. This place… It's a tourist trap? What the—
"Miss!"
Heiress turned towards the voice. A blonde young woman ran forward. "Where are your parents, Sweetie?" She wore a pink uniform with lots of pearly buttons. Her hair was short, her blue eyes wide.
Oh, crud. "Um… They're at the hotel?"
A second blonde, almost identical to the first, ran forward. She leaned over and inhaled deeply. "There… aren't… supposed… to be… any…… children…… in this area…" Her hair was short as well, but had a different design. She looked up, her orange eyes reflecting the sunlight. "We'll have to take you back to the ho—"
"Hold up!" A man with one glowing red eye and an eye patch. Blond hair fell down the front of his face. He placed a hand on her shoulder. "This is my neice…"
The first blonde blinked. "Oh, okay… Just get her back to her parents then…"
He saluted slightly as he led the small brunette away. "Okay… Now what are you doing here, Little Cetra?" he whispered.
What have I gotten myself into?
Azrael buffed her fingernails upon her white sweater. Her mako-green eyes turned towards the door. In walked Father and a small brunette. Thin lips gapped at the intruding girl. "What are you doing here?"
"I live here," Father replied. I love you, Jenova, but you are a moron.
Resisting the urge to roll her eyes, she murmured, "I was talking about that Aerith-thing behind you."
"HEY! I'm not a thing!" The brunette's mouth pouted as she held her hands on her hips. The brunette's green eyes examined the sitting silver-haired girl. A giggle then escaped her lips. "You-you're a girl, Sephiroth!"
"No kidding…"
"So much for the Great Silver-Haired SOLDIER!"
"Will you shut up?"
Heiress smirked at the feminine Sephiroth. "Or you'll what? Kill me again?"
Azrael looked at the floor. "Technically, that was Jenova…"
"Really? Huh… How about slaughtering all those clones?"
"Jenova." She waved a hand towards her Father. "As for summoning Meteor, Chocobo-head did that right before he gave it to me…"
The former Maiden giggled some more. "'Chocobo-head'? Oh, Cloud… Did you actually do anything?"
A hand combed through the silver strands. "Well, I burnt Nibelheim to the ground, but that town had it coming… Other than that, I mostly just got beaten by that damn Chocobo-head…"
