Chapter 12: Liar

--

Zack couldn't believe his ears. Both men walked towards him both smirking. Zack held his ground even though his mind was screaming run. Sephiroth was the first to meet Zack. He was slightly surprised that the kid didn't run. Sephiroth layed a hand on the teen's shoulder. Zack's fist slammed into Sephiroth's face,or at least Zack thought it did. Reno watched as Sephiroth jumped back. The fist barely missing him. His smile flipped into a frown. Reno glanced up at Sephiroth. He turned back to Zack. The kid was reaching into his car.

Zack grabbed the Buster Sword. He turned bringing the huge sword with him. Sephiroth was one- step of the teen bringing his sword towards Zack. The blades slammed into each other sending a loud screech into the air and sparks cascading in every direction. As they pushed against each other neither gaining or losing ground...or at least for the moment.

It became apparent that Zack was losing ground when he despartly started to dig his heels into the dirt leaving his tracks,it became apparent that this wasn't going to be a fair fight when Reno stepped into the fray. It became apparent that Zack was losing.

--

Zack willed the blade to push Sepiroth's back ,but it was in vain. Suddenly Sephiroth jumped sending Zack forward. He tried to regain his balance but was knocked down as Reno's leg slammed into his ankles sending Zack to the ground. He had landed on his back. Zack was about to sit up when he felt something sharp and cold touch his throat. He followed the blade to it's owner. Sephiroth smirked, Zack glared.

"Get up." It was an order.

''Make me." His was a cold,cocky arrogant reply.

Sephiroth arched his silver eye brow."I will." Zack's determination didn't falter as Reno approach the teen a black combat boot slammed into his face. Sending the other male away. Zack smiled but it quickly disappeared when he felt long,nimble fingers grab his hair yanking him up. Zack cried out in pain his short locks felt as if they were getting ripped out of his scalp. He grabbed a hold of the wrist and pulled desparatly trying to get those nimble fingers to unlock his hair. But it was all in vain. Sephiroth was not going to let go. He had the kid and he was not going to lose him. He reached down and grabbed Zack's car keys from his pocket as the teen thrashed trying to free himself.

"Hey,those are-" Sephiroth roughly pulled Zack's hair making to teen yell out.

"Reno take the kids car to Laguna's house." he said as he tossed the keys to Reno.The man rubbed his now bruised cheek."Alright Seph."

Sephiroth reached his car. He opened the back door of his car and threw the kid in. He slammed the door behind Zack after making sure it was locked.

--

Zack sat up hearing the door slam shut. The pain in his head was gone he heard another car door open as Sephiroth climbed in. Zack glanced out the window as his viper sped towards the town. Zack glanced into the front seat as the engine rumbled to life. Sephiroth switched gears and the car lurched forward. Sephiroth clicked his seat belt in.

"You cheating asshole!" Zack yelled. Zack reached for the door handle.

"If you want to jump fine,but do you think you'll survive when you slam into the pavement at 60 miles per hour?'' Sephiroth asked a edge to his voice pratically daring Zack to jump. Zack slowly pulled his hand back.

They traveled in silence.

"I''l tell,I swear I will."

"Good luck because if you do you'll hit the ground again but you won't ever get up.'' the seriousness in the man's vocie pushed all doubts from Zack's mind.

Sephiroth drove into the town."Put your seat belt on."

"Why?"

"Because I don't want a ticket." Zack just sat their he didn't even attempt to but the belt on.

Sephiroth glanced in the mirror,the teen was stubborn but he would fix him. Sephiroth slammed the brakes on. Zack was sent forward his head slamming into the back of Sephiroth's seat. Zack sat back up,his toungne hurt like hell. He reached for the seat belt and it clicked in. Sephiroth smiled he knew it would be easy.

"You never answered my question."

"What question?"

"The one about 'Why you raped Leon?''

Sephiroth glanced into his review mirror. Zack's expression was one of total seriousness. He let an annoyed sigh out.

"Because I wanted to."

"That's a half-assed excuse,Leon already had enough problems,no he had to many problems and he didn't need you two assholes adding to it!" exclaimed Zack a low growl entering his voice towards the end.

"You think I care?"

"No I don't but I do like to think that there's a real heart in everyone and that they can change...you can...if you stop what your about to do."

"I don't need to change."
"Fine,don't change but when your in some big,dark empty jail cell looking out through the bars wishing you could be free you'll be sorry."

Sephiroth couldn't think of something to say back to counter that. That one sentence held the true that he had over looked. He didn't want to spend his life in a jail cell. Zack smiled he knew he struck a nerve. He could quite possibly walk away with his virginity still intact and knowing that he helped save a man and maybe even another child.

"You know Sephiroth,everyone can change but the hard part is accepting that you need to change,the world can wait but it can't wait forever and neither can you."

"It's to late."

"No it's never to late,it only is if you give up."

"How could I possibly change?"

"Well for starters you could let me go?''

Sephiroth glanced into the mirror again. Zack's face held no real emotion but in his eyes their was a sense of hope. Hope that he could save himself the torture of what Leon went through and what Sephiroth and Reno would go through if he kept up what he was doing.

--

Sephiroth pulled into Laguna's drive. He could take Zack and brutally raped the kid or he could let him go. But would Zack tell? Sephiroth wasn't sure but he knew he couldn't keep doing this him and Reno needed a change he didn't want to end of in jail even though he more than likey deserved it.

"Sephiroth?''

"What?"

"Why did you rape Leon?''

"I told you,already."

"I don't think it's the real reason."

Sephiroth knew the real reason. But he couldn't bare the thought of telling some kid about it. It didn't matter.

"Why,can't you tell me?"

"It's none of your concern."

"It is when my best friend got raped because of it,and I want to know."

"To fucking bad."

"You need to open up,you need to let someone in,someone that could help you."

"I don't need anyone's help."

"Yeah you do,if your willing to talk I'm willing to listen."

They sat in silence for 30 minutes. Zack thought he was just fighting a losing battle but that was put to rest when Sephiroth started to speak.

"It was my dad." His voice was but only a whisper.

"Go on."

"He said I was a monster and that was all I would ever be a heartless monster.''

"Seph your not a monster,not unless you chose to be."

Sephiroth looked out into the emptiness of the air around him. He could remember the whole scene it was like a broken rerun that would just repeat and repeat in his mind. It just never ended and it never stopped playing.

As a teen walked through the long halls listening to the yelling from his parents getting louder with each step. He was home because another fight had broken out at school the victor being Sephiroth and the loser being some other kid. Sephiroth hovered by the door wanting to walk in and make it stop but hesitated at the thought of his father being there. Blaming his screwed up life on his son. Making every waking moment of Sephiroth's life hell. He listened as he heard something that sounded like a clap but it was the sound of a body hitting the floor. Sephiroth knew it was his mother. He threw open the door. The body of his mother starting to stir. His father smiled as he looked over at his son.

The man's eyes were enough to make Sephiroth flinch.

"So you've come to join us ,son?"

"Leave him out of this Hojo!" His mother snarled out.

Sephiroth watched as his father's smiled disappeared. He looked down at his wife. His foot slamming into her pregnant belly she yelled out in pain. Sephiroth ran to her side, kneeling down towards her.

"This is your fault Sephiroth,all your fault.''

"Shut up.'' it was soft to soft to hear it was more like a mumble.

''What was that son?"

"Shut up." Sephiroth looked up into his father's eyes. In a split second Sephiroth felt pain in his side, he slouched against the wall as his dad walked towards his son. Sephiroth slowly got up . He glared at his dad. Anger etched over his face. His father was sent to the other side of the room in one swift hit. Hojo slowly got up the blood spilling from his now busted lip dripping on to the plush white carpet.

"I've raised a monster."

Sephiroth shook his head no."You hit me first."

His mother slowly sat up. She glanced at he husband and her son. She could see clearly even through her black eye. Sephiroth turned towards the door wanting to leave. But he couldn't and he didn't know why. Sephiroth glanced towards his mother. She slowly stood her eyes tried and full of pain. Sephiroth slowly took a step towards her. But as he did something sharp and cold pushed through his skin in his left arm. He glanced over a knife hilt sticking out of his arm. He looked up towards the man who did it,his father. The thing was Sephiroth didn't feel any pain. His dad smiled,it was one of those sick smiles the ones where you just wanted to turn away but you just couldn't.

Sephiroth's mother slowly walked away carrying her pregnant belly. Sephiroth watched her exit the room. Sephiroth turned and ran out of the kitchten.He tore through the halls as his father's evil scientist laugh echoed through the house.

Hojo said he killed it. Hojo said as he was the monster that it was his fault. Hojo blamed him for the baby his mother lost. Sephiroth was in another fight this time he thought he killed the boy. The fragile body ceased movement. He glanced around the other teens staring none daring to move. The teacher rushed past him. She looked towards Sephiroth her gaze seemed to scream at him. He turned away, then he ran. He ran home the only place where he thought little peace would come.

As the door swung open his father greeted him. A smile upon the man's face. Sephiroth moved to step away but stopped when his father snatched his forearm. His dad pulled him through the door. The wound on his arm now healed as if it never happened.

"Monster..."

".no."

"Monster..."

"...No."

"Monster."

"NO!"

His scream echoed through the house.

''That's all you'll ever be,Seph, a monster."

Dackerie:If it's short I'm sorry but I thought that would be a good place to end it. If you make the connection what Sephy was going through is somewhat related to what Leon is going through. I know I didn't focus on Leon or Cloud in this chapter and I'm sorry for that. This one is mostly just to set up the ending. But yeah anyway I have a problem and it is that I have like over 1000 hits for this story and only like 6 reviews. It helps when people tell you what you are thinking. Just leave me a reply saying that you liked it or if you hated it. I'm not going to go psycho or anything. Reviews give people motivation and then we get chapters out faster. I do want to thank everyone who has reviewed and who has put this story on there alert or favorites list it means a lot.

Zack: Reviews,please

Sephiroth:...Hope you enjoyed
