Chapter Ten
LOVELESS
"Are you ready yet?"
"Just give him time, he'll be ready soon so just calm down. We still have over an hour before the show starts."
"I know that, Angeal, but I wanna get there in time to get to our seats first!"
"You're really excited about this, aren't you?" Angeal asked. "One would think that Genesis would be acting this way, not you Sienna."
The woman gave a grin before dropping it and tapping her foot. "Yeah, well, I don't know where Sephiroth is so it looks like it's just gonna be the three of us…"
"Aww, don't feel bad about it, Sienna," Angeal told the woman as he wrapped an arm around her shoulders. "That just means you are mine and Genesis' tonight. And with what you're dressed in, I don't mind it."
"Shut it, Angeal!" Sienna flushed, crossing her arms over her chest. Tonight, sienna had changed into something a bit more dramatic for the play. She was dressed in a floor length, aqua Xscape gown. With sparkling jeweled accents at the shoulder, side, and the side of back, and a dramatic cut out, it was a sleeveless, one-shoulder style with cutout detail at the back. She wore a pair of white heels with it and wished that she had brought a jacket with her as she stood there, waiting for Genesis to hurry up and join them outside. She gave her a friend a quick side glance. "You don't…look too bad either."
Angeal gave her a smile and tugged a bit at the suit jacket he wore. "I know I'm dashing, no need to be embarrassed to say anything about it, Sienna."
"And there that goes right out the window." She grunted at him; he gave another laugh. She turned her sight back to the house before them to find that their other companion had finally decided to join them. "About time, Genesis! Let's go!"
Genesis glanced over at her as he locked his door. "Patience is a virtue that you need to learn, Sienna."
She gave a grunt and crossed her arms again as they moved down the street to the Opera House. LOVELESS was showing tonight and it seemed that even Genesis had decided to wear a different outfit. Both he and Angeal both looked…
She didn't have a word that fit like she wanted it to, but both men looked extraordinary! Very, very extraordinary. It wasn't often that the group saw each other in anything other than their regular uniforms but when they did it was pleasant.
"With the three of you, patience is not something that I have," Sienna replied as they began to move down the street. That got gawked at like they usually do, but the people on the streets were ignored. "And most of that is your fault, Genesis." She was referring to all the fighting that he and Sephiroth did during their little 'practices' and it was very apparent that she was growing tired of them each time that they occurred.
"Now, now kids, let's not ruin the evening, okay?" Angeal chuckled. "It'
S supposed to be a good, fun night, right?"
"Indeed," Genesis gave one of his smiles.
Sienna gave a small sigh before a large smile passed across her lips again. There was a huge line outside of the theater that made it drop, though.
"Aw man," Angeal sighed. "I hate lines."
"What do we do?" Sienna asked.
"Just stand here and wait, I guess," Genesis crossed his arms.
"Not necessarily." A voice from behind told him. "Just follow me."
"Sephiroth?" Angeal sounded surprised before a large smile passed over his lips again. "I was wondering when you were going to show up."
Sienna turned her head to glance at the man in black behind them as well. She saw Sephiroth every day. Hell, the man lived in her house, but there was just something about him tonight. He seemed to shine in the light from the theater doors and it made her heart stop for a moment, taking the time to take in a good look of her partner.
Sephiroth, in all of his appearances now, was dressed in a long black, leather coat with silver pauldrons in his 6'1' height and thin form. His chest was bare, it was like she was seeing that for the first time as her face began to heat up, and covered with crossing, leather straps. His hair, that glorious, silver hair that she longed to run her hands through, nearly reached to his ankles and leather gloves. It was then his eyes that caught her attention. Those cat-like green. Those cat-like green that reminded her of her own. Those cat-like green that were hers.
"So, shall we?" Sephiroth's voice pulled her from her thoughts, knocking her back to the event they were about to join.
"Y-yes," She nodded.
"What does he plan on doing?" Genesis hissed at Angeal as they moved after the man with the silver hair.
"Who knows?" Angeal shrugged. "If it gets us inside then I don't care."
Sienna gave a soft laugh as she moved after the three men. "I agree with Angeal. Let's just get inside, get to our seats, and enjoy the performance."
It turned out that the moment the attendants saw that it was Sephiroth and the three of them that were approaching the doors and cutting through the lines they were instantly let inside the facility.
"I don't believe it." Sienna sounded shocked.
"We're with the almighty Sephiroth," Angeal grinned. "Anyone lets him get his way. You're lucky to be on his team."
"Yeah…lucky…" Apparently her tone of voice gave off a separate kind of message; Genesis caught it.
"Let's take our seats, shall we?" He told them.
Sienna caught herself taking in the view of the place from the balcony. It was such a beautiful place. (For some reason, I totally had a view of the Phantom of the Opera theatre running through my head while I was writing this part, lol) "It's so beautiful," She commented aloud.
The balcony that they were sitting at had been kept empty for them it seemed, since no one else joined them for the show. They probably saw that the four of them bought tickets in the balcony and just cut off the other seats that were there as well. Angeal sat closest to the railing in the front, leaving Sienna to take the seat beside him and Genesis the one of her other side. Sephiroth decided to take the chair behind the trio but no one made a comment on that as they conversed amongst themselves for nearly an hour before the show actually started. Sienna felt like her lips were going to be so sore that next morning from all the smiling that she was going to do.
Prologue
When the War of the Beasts bring the world's end
The goddess descends from the sky
Wings of light and dark spread far
She guides us to bliss, her gift everlasting.
Genesis glanced at Sienna from the corner of his eye as the show began. He was pleased, very pleased, that this was something that she enjoyed so much. He was glad that this was something that they could connect on. She didn't read it as much as him, of course, but she still loved it. He could still talk to her about it. That made him very, very happy.
Act 1
Infinite in mystery is the gift of the Goddess
We seek it thus, and take to the sky
Ripples form on the water's surface
The wandering soul knows no rest.
Sienna found herself quoting the play as the acts continued. The three men, all bound together by a solemn oath, very much reminded her of Sephiroth, Genesis, and Angeal. Was it wrong to wonder where she was? Where her character was?
Act 2
There is no hate, only joy
For you are beloved by the Goddess
Hero of the dawn, Healer of the worlds.
Dreams of the morrow hath the shattered soul
Pride is lost
Wings stripped away, the end is nigh.
Angeal found himself enjoying the performance as well. He, himself, found himself resembling one of the trio of the main cast, seeing his two friends as the other two as well. But he found himself asking where Sienna would be as well…and why did it bother him so much to want to know? He thought that the woman that saved the prisoner would be Sienna, but it wasn't so.
Who was it…
Act 3
My friend, do you fly away now?
To a world that abhors you and I?
All that awaits you is a somber morrow
No matter where the winds may blow.
My friend, your desire
Is the bringer of life, the gift of the Goddess
Even if the morrow is barren of promises
Nothing shall forestall my return.
Sephiroth wore a large smile on his face as the performance continued; he just wasn't watching the show; it was the woman sitting before him. He was extremely happy that Sienna was enjoying herself as much as she was. He had half thought about bailing on the show when Angeal and sienna left the manor, but something had changed his mind; and he was glad that it had. To see the pleasure on her face over something like this, after all the pain and hate he would see when it came to ShinRa, he was glad to see something different.
Act 4
My friend, the fates are cruel
There are no dreams, no honor remains
The Arrow has left, the bow of the Goddess.
My soul, corrupted by vengeance
Hath endured torment, to find the end of the journey
In my own salvation
And your eternal slumber.
Legend shall speak
Of sacrifice at world's end
The wind sails over the water's surface
Quietly, but surely
As Act four bowed out, Sienna felt her heart tighten for the last and final scene but frowned when the lights turned on and the cast appeared again to bow, proving it all to be the end.
"What's going on?" Sienna asked, glancing at Genesis. "Where is the other act?"
Genesis gave her a soft smile as he stood up. "There is not Act 4. Not officially, anyway."
"Not official? What do you…" It didn't take long for Sienna to realize what the man before her was talking about. "You…you wrote the final act?"
Genesis continued to wear his smile and held a hand down to help her up. "Even if the morrow is barren of promises, nothing shall forestall my return." Sienna took his hand and let him to pull her to her feet. "To become the dew that queches the land, to spare the sands, the seas, the skies, Offer thee this silent sacrifice."
Sienna felt herself locked. She was lost in the words as Genesis stood there, holding her hand. He had written the final Act. Her favorite Act. Imagine that.
Sephiroth and Angeal both watched the two of them for a moment as they just stood there. Angeal turned to happily give them a bit of privacy when they saw that Genesis' head began to lean down towards the woman's but Sephiroth felt his eyes narrow instead.
"Sienna, we have a mission in the morning, remember?" He kept his voice cool as he turned to hide his face from them as he closed his eyes. He began to walk to the hall.
"Ah, he's right." Sienna sighed. "Sorry guys. It was a wonderful night! We'll have to come see it again before its showings are up, right?"
Genesis fought grinding his teeth. "Of course. Whatever night you wish, Sienna."
"Good night guys," Sienna gave them a wave before following her partner from the balcony.
Angeal gave a whistle. "If I didn't know any better, I'd say that he doesn't like the thought of you kissing his partner, Genesis."
The redhead gave a fierce grin as he clenched closed the hand that now felt so cold without Sienna's. "Let him try all he wants," He replied. "In the end, the Goddess will be mine."
