Aerithism

Eighteen: Kitty

Cirrus stared at the landing airship. Sand blew every which way, as the Sierra touched down in the center of Nibelheim. Teef meowed slightly at the intruding noise from her perch on the blond's head.

People wearing what could best be described as garment remnants ran out of the vehicle. Mothers and fathers collected the smaller children up and rushed indoors.

Then, his blue eyes noticed a very familiar brunette shouting, "OKAY GET THAT MAIDEN!"

"YUFFIE!" The blond waved his hand at the young woman, who dashed over and covered his mouth. "Meybatareyudon!"

"It's Yoshoko, Cloud… We can't be shouting our names aloud… Tifa's a cat! Hahahahaha!"

Pushing the pirate's hand down, the teen glared. "I thought you said we can't be using our real names… Her's is Teef and mine's Cirrus… Why are you with a bunch of pirates? I thought you were in Wutai."

"Long story…" As a man with bright orange hair walked by, Yoshoko frowned. "Um, I will be taking this kid prisoner…"

The pirate captain raised an eyebrow. "Okay… What's her name?"

"I'm a boy."

"Okay… So what's your name, Miss?"

And people think I'm an idiot?

Heiress's emerald eyes traced the dig site. Her eyes landed on the giant monster's skull. Atop, a white t-shaped thing sat. She called it a 'jet,' but what's a jet?

Out of the monster's mouth, a small white cat crawled out. It waddled to the brunette and rubbed against her head "Well, hello kitty…"

"Kill that thing now."

Heiress glared at the obnoxious intruder. She lifted the cat and stroked its fur. "Are you scared of a little kitty, Azrael."

The silver-haired girl rolled her eyes. "… You are dumber than I thought."

"What's that suppose to mean?"

"That's Hojo, you twit," Azrael sighed. "… Have you seen Mother recently? The last thing I need to deal with is another—"

"THIS CAT'S HOJO?"

Blinking, Azrael was silent for several moments. "… Do you have a hearing problem?"

The black cat yawned as it wondered around the halls. Where did Cloud go?

She turned around and frowned. Considering Teef is a cat, the effect was her sneering. At the pirate captain. He leaned down, petting the feline. "Meow, purr, meoow…" It's been a while, Johnny…

"You know… I have a no pet policy," the captain commented.

"Merow…" Don't. Please, don't…

"But something about you is familiar… So, just try to hold it."

I have to pee in a box at home… Do you have any idea how weird that is?

angel: If I didn't update frequently, I'd never get anything done (I'm such a slacker). Actually, I've never read any resurrection FF7 fics (mostly because they all sound like love stories to me…).
