Ok I know this is really short, but this chapter was a LOT longer in my head and for some reason it just didn't want to reach that 2 page mark.

"Hey General Sephy."

Said general glared at Zack as the wolf burst through his office. "That's General Sephiroth in public Lieutenant Fair. What do you want?"

"Luxiere looked scared out of his pants last time I saw him and I thought that I said to be nice." Zack said as he plopped himself down on Sephiroth's desk. Not really caring that he was probably sitting on some important documents. "What did you say to him? Because he's not telling me anything."

"I merely told him that he should put his cadets in line… And I may have mentioned that it wasn't in his best interest to let the incident slide."

Zack looked interested at that. "Incident?"

"A few cadets had a scuffle in the hallway, so I made Luxiere deal with it in a way I saw fit."

"… Which was?"

"Either kick them out or think of a punishment that I can agree with."

"And that was…?"

"We decided that if they were going to act like children, then they were going to be treated like children, so we set them bed times and took away their training room privileges."

Zack was so shocked that he stood up from the desk, sending a few of Sephiroth's papers flying at same time. "You did WHAT?"

Sephiroth raised an eyebrow at that. He didn't think Zack would be so upset about it. "Do I really need to repeat myself?"

Zack was quick to shake his head while settling himself back down in Sephiroth's guest chair this time.

"No wonder he wasn't in the training rooms yesterday morning… Maybe I should push my plans forward before he starts falling behind… That reminds me I should tell Rufus… Not that I've seen him lately…"

That peaked Sephiroth's curiosity. Was that what Zack and Rufus were up to in the mornings? Watching someone in the training rooms? He wondered if it was that cute chocobo like Halfling that he was watching. Before he could question his lover, Zack had already whipped out his phone and was dialling Rufus' number.

"Hey Mr Vice president…" Zack almost immediately started frowning. "What's wrong…? I was going to tell you about the training rooms but that sounded a bit more important. Give me a minute I'll be there in a second." He hung up the phone and turned his attention back to Sephiroth, who was gazing back at him curiously. "I'll talk to you later Seph. Got a friend to comfort and maybe a Turk to murder."

Sephiroth merely waved him away and started reading his paper work, vaguely wondering what Tseng had done to upset the Vice President and feeling sorry for him at the same time. It wasn't pretty being on the receiving end of Zack's wrath when you had just upset his best friend.


When Zack entered Tseng's office, the Turk almost immediately knew that this probably wasn't going to be a pleasant meeting. "Hey you Mr shape shifting leader of the Turks. Person that's dating my best friend."

Yes, it definitely was not going to be a pleasant meeting.

"Would you mind explaining to me why my best friend has holed himself up in his apartment and refuses to leave while he's pretty much eating takeaways that are being sent up to his room with his overgrown cat standing guard at the door because he doesn't want to see a certain someone? Because I'm sure that a certain someone promised me that he would not hurt my best friend when he started dating him because he didn't want a buster sword through his stomach."

Tseng figured he better just get this over with and attempt to come out of it with as little injuries as possible.

"We had an argument."

"I know. Explain, now."

"He asked me a question and I was incapable of answering it."

"And this question doesn't happen to have something to do with a certain cadet does it?"

"It may or may not have."

"Look." It seemed that Zack was sick of his roundabout answers. "Let me cut to the chase Tseng. Rufus is unhappy and as you already know, when Rufus isn't happy, that means I'm not happy. Now, either you do something to fix this or else…"

There was a loud crash and Tseng blinked at his desk which had been sliced cleanly down the middle.

He didn't even see Zack draw his buster sword.

"You'll end up just like that desk of yours." With that, Zack walked out of Tseng's office and slammed the door behind him.

There was the sound of something hitting the bottom of Tseng's desk and the fox almost jumped in surprise. Slowly, he opened the bottom drawer of his desk and reached in pulling out a small black device.

Honestly, he didn't know if these random surprises were making things better or worse.
