Chapter Twelve
Why couldn't I be…
"Shh! You don't want us to get caught, do you?"
"Then move faster before someone shows up."
"Stealth, Angeal, Stealth."
"JUST GO!"
Genesis' growl made both Angeal and Sienna shoot-off like a rocket down the hall, leaving Sephiroth and Genesis to follow after them softly.
Sienna gave Genesis a glare when he shut the Training Room door behind him. "What's your problem, Genesis? Why you so grumpy today?"
Genesis turned his head from her so Angeal was the one that decided to answer as Sephiroth moved to the control board to set up their event. "Oh, he's just cranky because he hasn't heard you play your guitar in a few days. Why don't you make him happy so the rest of us don't have to deal with it?"
Sienna gave a laugh before placing a hand on the instrument that hung over her shoulder.
The flash spread through the room, making Sienna close her eyes.
They were in Junon. The four of them on top of the large Sister Ray. Genesis was sitting at the base, reading from LOVELESS, Angeal leaned against the building beside him, Sephiroth stood more towards the snout of the Ray, his eyes closed as the sun traveled across his face, and Sienna was close to his feet, her own legs dangling on the edge as she held her guitar, playing a tune as Genesis read from his book.
"Infinite in mystery is the Gift if the Goddess. We seek it thus, and take to the sky." Sephiroth opened his eyes with a slight smile as he turned to face him. "Ripples form on the water's surface. The wandering soul knows no rest." Sephiroth walked towards him. Angeal's own eyes opened as he lifted his own head.
"LOVELESS, Act 1." Sephiroth announced, his long sword, Masamune, in his left hand.
Genesis looked at him and smirked as he closed the book and set it aside. "You remembered." He stood up and Angeal looked at him.
Sephiroth smirked back. "How can I not," He began to tap the right side of his head. "When you've beaten it into my head?" He slashed his sword, signaling that he was ready.
Angeal grabbed his sword as well and Genesis lifted his own to his head.
"God, you boys are so immature." Sienna stopped playing her music and stood, hand on her hip as she looked at them.
Angeal chuckled. "You sure you don't want to join?"
She waved a hand at him. "No thanks. You have fun trying to kill each other. I'm staying out of it."
Angeal gave a shrug and then looked at his partner. "Don't take Sephiroth lightly."
Genesis gave a small grin. "Humph, noted…"
Setting her guitar on the ground, Sienna watched as the three men battled. It was fabulous. All three of them were so obsessed with what they were doing. She couldn't help but smile. Sephiroth's constant smirk made her heart beat louder. She watched as Genesis twirled through air only to be thrown back by Sephiroth as Angeal ran forward himself. Sephiroth was the strongest of the four of them, followed by Genesis. They didn't know who was stronger, Angeal or Sienna, since the two of them refused to fight the other. Sienna refused to fight either of the three men now that they had aged together. Always.
But Genesis always wanted to beat Sephiroth. Angeal fought for fun. Genesis always took it a little too far…
"Ha!" Sephiroth's voice reached her as his and Angeal's blades met, sparks erupting between them. "Is that the best you can do?"
Sienna grinned. Sephiroth was a smartass, but he could back it up, no matter what.
Angeal was forced back to Genesis. "All hail Sephiroth, eh?"
"Angeal, stay back." Genesis ordered, holding a hand out. He blinked. "I'll take Sephiroth alone."
"Genesis…" Angeal looked surprised.
"Come on guys," Sienna walked towards them. "Stop fighting. I'm starving. Let's go get something to eat."
Genesis glanced back at her for a moment before running a hand over his red blade and gazing back at the silver-haired man. "They both need a new hero."
"Humph," Sephiroth blinked his eyes slowly. He knew that it wasn't just the world that Genesis was talking about. "Come and try."
"So smug…but for how long?" Genesis ran forward to continue the fight.
Sienna shook her head as she moved up beside Angeal. "I just don't understand you men. Why must you always fight?" Angeal chuckled as they both continued to watch their partners. "But I do have to say," Her gaze followed the two men in the air. "It does get my blood pumping." She then frowned as Genesis shot fire at Sephiroth. "Until it gets a little too serious." She ground her teeth as Sephiroth was encased in a great ball of fire. Angeal moved quickly, trying to stop Genesis, but he was blasted by fire as well as out of the sky. "Angeal!" Sienna cried, running to catch him, silently thanking God as she carried him out of the way of Sephiroth's Octaslashes. "Dammit!" She then growled, watching the battle continue. She didn't like interfering, but it had gone too far.
Angeal and Sienna shared a nod before running in between the two fighters with their own swords, Angeal blocking Genesis and Sienna blocking Sephiroth.
"Enough." Angeal ordered.
"It's gone too far." Sienna told them.
"Sienna…" Sephiroth spoke, lowering his blade. She smiled, glad that he was listening.
Genesis saw the smile and growled. "Out of my way!" He summoned another fire ball, bursting through Angeal's sword.
Sephiroth quickly wrapped his arms around Sienna to keep her from harm, but it wasn't needed as Angeal's broken blade slashed through Genesis' shoulder.
"Genesis!" Angeal cried as the man fell to his knees, gripping his shoulder as the simulation came to a halt due to the damage to the room.
"Oh no!" Sephiroth quickly let Sienna go and she hurried to Genesis, kneeling to check his wound.
Genesis pulled away from her. "Just a scrape…" He stood, gazing down at her. "I'll be fine, don't worry." He picked up his sword and began to walk away. "Even if the morrow is barren of promises, Nothing shall forestall my return."
Sephiroth turned and watched Sienna chase after the man before whacking him in the back of the head. He couldn't help but give a small smile.
"Shut up, Genesis, and let's go get you some help!"
Genesis tried to tell Sienna that he would be fine, but she made him shut up and led him to the infirmary with Angeal and Sephiroth following her. And for good reason.
"Hollander," Angeal was the first to speak as the man joined them in the hall. Sienna tried to get a peek in at Genesis but the doors closed before she could. "How is Genesis?"
"He's going to be okay, isn't he?" Sienna asked. The worry could be plainly heard in her voice; Sephiroth felt guilt run through him.
Hollander, an elder man with glasses, shook his head. "The problem is the Mako energy that seeped in through the wound…"
"Is it treatable?"
Hollander nodded. "First, he'll need a transfusion." Immediately, Sephiroth took a step forward but Hollander shook his head. "You aren't viable."
Sephiroth pulled a surprised face. ~Not viable?~
Sienna took a step forward. "What about me? Surely I am."
"No, I'm afraid not." Hollander shook his head at her before he nodded at Angeal. Their friend gave them a look before he disappeared into the room behind Hollander, leaving Sephiroth and Sienna to look at each other.
"Is…is there something wrong with us?" The woman asked, her voice sounding hurt. She looked like she was about to cry.
Sephiroth moved forward and pulled her into him. "No, Genesis just…doesn't have the same blood as us, it seems." He told her. "There's nothing to worry about. Genesis will be fine; you'll see."
Sephiroth knew that he was speaking something false. He didn't know why Angeal was used as the donor and not one of them, but he wasn't going to let Sienna worry over something like that. As long as everyone was all right, then nothing mattered.
This all had something to do with the secrets that he and Sienna had been trying to find the answers too over these years but since Angeal and Genesis had become close friends with them their searching for the said answers had been placed on the backburner.
Maybe this was a sign that their searching should begin again.
Please Review! I like to know what you all think :)
