Chapter Five: Laundry

Ohhh! She was going to kill Sephiroth! He had such guts to take her clothes!
"YOU PERVERT! #$ WHAT DO YOU THINK YOU'RE GOING TO DO WITH
THEM! SNIFF MY UNDERWEAR? YOU'RE HOPELESS YOU KNOW? I BET
YOU WANT TO BURN THEM SO I CAN COME OUT NAKED? HUH HUH
HUH! IS THAT WHAT YOU WANT? THAT'S YOUR INTENTIONS RIGHT?
YOU BIG PERVE…" And this went on and on for the next five minutes until
she finished her bath.

Zack kept quiet the whole time. He waited, curious to meet this mysterious
person. Sephiroth had not chased him off to finish the laundry chores and
had instead switched on the television to watch current affairs.

"…I AM SO GOING TO KILL YOU!" Yuffie slammed open the bathroom door,
allowing the cold air rush past her and the sweet refreshing scent of citrus
shampoo into the lounge. Hair still terribly wet and her clothes damp from the
rushed dressing in, she scanned the room for a particular silver-haired General
and finally noticed Zack right in front of her. Stunned for a few seconds, she
blushed and finally bowed her head down as though embarrassed. It was then
she realized her white singlet was about to turn translucent due to excess water
dripping from her hair and quickly locked her arms on her chest.

Zack was speechless. The mysterious person behind the door had turned out to
be a child. He always imagined Sephiroth would be the type who went for older
women, yetTHIS (person)had defied all theories of Men. Standing right in front
of him, was a BOY! Alright, maybe not but she sure looked like one. Her short
messy hair framed her pixie face, slender and almost flat except for two small
bumps on her chest as well as being dressed in a singlet and boxers, she looked
like a boy of twelve who had not reached puberty.

Yuffie was stunned for a moment there. What was this guy doing in Sephiroth's
room? Assuming the worst, she yelled out, "SEPHIROTH! DON'T YOU DARE!
NOW YOU'VE BROUGHT ANOTHER PERVERT TO GANG RAPE ME!"

Zack was bewildered! WOW! This girl had guts! He watched her storm to the
sofa bed, glaring down at Sephiroth whose back was turned towards him. Then,
His General stood up and took her towel from around her neck and started rubbing
off the excess water on her hair. "You would catch a cold if you're not careful," he
simply stated and pinched her cheek for the second time in that day.

(The unfolding situation stared back at Zack who wasunable to comprehend his
General's actions on the girl. Sephiroth looked like a mother cat taming her kitten.)

Yuffie struggled to run away however Sephiroth's firm grip was on her. Reluctantly
she let him dry her hair, her anger simmering from his surprise attack. "Hmmph…"
she pouted, "Owww.." when he pinched her cheek.Then when he had finished,
he leaned forward, wrapped the towel around her neck and whispered in her ear,
"That's the laundry man."

Fitting the puzzle pieces together, she declared aloud, "Oh! So you're the Zack
who got punished to do laundry!" Zack smiled sheepishly and mumbled out,
"Yea, I'm Zack. Nice to meet you…" Yuffie ran forward to look at him a little closer
and then murmured, "What did you do to piss him off huh?" Zack had to grin; she
was indeed an interesting character. ("That's for me to know and for you to find
out," he answered.)

Quickly changing the question, Yuffie asked, "So what happens to my clothes if you
take them now?" "They'll be washed and returned tomorrow, however I won't be the
onesending them back. That'll be the REAL janitor's job; I'm done with these chores,"
Zack shrugged and looked glad.

And at that point, Yuffie had a brilliant idea on how to escape the building. She would
have to thank Zack if the plan executed properly, HEH!

"Oh! Alright! Here, take them!" She ran into the bathroom and grabbed her clothes,
then stuffed them right into his hands. "Shoo shoo shoo! Go, go, go!" She watched
Zack open the door with a weird combination of shifting the handle up and down
and decided silently to try it for herself tomorrow. Then she sprinted past Sephiroth,
to the sofa bed, plopped herself down and switched the television to the cartoon
channel.

At the point when she ran past him, The General felt lonesome. He walked away from
the lounge and headed for the office, looking for something else to distract him from
that girl who had subconsciously affected him.
