Chapter 12

Once everyone was settled in their rooms, they went downstairs and outside to explore. Zyme had said something about not going out alone, Sephiroth had brought up the "buddy rule." (Please don't ask why. The pairs are the same as the sleeping pairs from the last chapter.) Once everyone got with their buddy, everyone went their different ways.

Lea asked, "What do you want to do today, Zyme?"

"I don't know, Lea. What do you want to do today?" Zyme asked.

"Let's go see the village and what the people are like. You up for that?" Lea asked.

Zyme then said, "Sure. Let's go. But, let's do it quickly."

Lea said, "Okay. We can make it quick." So they set off to see the village and the people there.+

Reno asked, "Where do you wanna go, yo? I'm bored."

"Let's go to the caves. You good with that? And I know you're bored, Reno." Kunsel said.

"Yes, I'm good with going to the caves, yo. What do you mean you know that I'm bored?" Reno asked.

Kunsel then said, "You've been saying you were bored for the past twenty minutes. It was getting annoying."

"You think I'm annoying, yo! I'll show you annoying!" Reno yelled.

Kunsel sighed and said, "Calm down, Reno. You need to listen more." That ended all conversation as they got to the caves.

"Zack, what are you doing?" Cloud asked.

"I'm chasing a little monster. Why?" Zack asked.

"I was just wondering 'cuz you look weird. And we're going into the forest." Cloud said.

"I did want to explore the forest some. How about you?" Zack said.

Cloud then said, "Sure. Let's go explore the forest some. Then we go back to the inn. Got it?"

Zack said, "Yeah, yeah. I got it. Okay, let's go." So they went to go explore the forest for a while.

"What do you remember from your past?" Lazard asked.

"I basically remember everything from here. Where do you want to go, Lazard?" Angeal asked.

Lazard then said, "Do you want to go visit your old house? If it's still there."

"Sure. But, first, let's go to the cliffs." Angeal said.

"Sure. Why not?" Lazard said. Then, they went to the cliffs to look at the view. After that, they went to Angeal's old house. (It was still there in this story.)

"You know, we could go to the LOVELESS caves. If you want to, I mean." Sephiroth said.

Then Genesis said, "Really? You'd do that for me, Seph?" Sephiroth just nodded. Genesis then jumped up and down in his joy.

Then he said, "You tell no one what I just did, alright?"

"Sure. But they already know. You've done it before." Sephiroth stated. Genesis just looked at him in horror then was fine. He knew that, too. So, they went to the LOVELESS caves.

Once everyone was done exploring, they went back to the inn to rest up. Tomorrow would be a day to rescue monster captives. It would need everyone to be clear-headed and up to strength.

(A/N: I'm ending this chapter here. The next chapter will be about the rescue. I've been busy all this time and I'm sorry. If you want me to update faster, then review please. Please R&R. Until next time!)
