In Your Favor

The days drug on and Kira and Sephiroth both pretended as if nothing had happened the night before. Kira had been dating another SOLDIER, 2nd Class but SOLDIER none the less. She like him, he was cute and charming, and he made her feel wanted. Sephiroth was not at all to into accompanying her and her new found love on their dates. He hated seeing another man make her so happy. So he distanced himself from the couple, allowing enough space between them to get to her quickly if she was in danger. He watched the two mingle and immediately he hated the boy. He hated that he got to touch her face like that, and kiss her the way he did. Then he noticed something. She wasn't liking the kissing part, it was making her uncomfortable. Then he noticed that he was forcing him self onto her as she pushed him away from her lips.

“Stop it.” He heard her say. “Get away from me.”

Sephiroth stood still, he wasn't necessarily frozen into place. He was just waiting for Kira to say she needed him. It was selfish but after watching there public display of affection he didn't want to really be anywhere near the two of them. He shook his head after he realized how childish he was being. He's a 25 year old man who could have any girl he desired and he was yielding for one woman. He couldn't believe himself.

“Ouch get away from me.”

“Shut up you stupid bitch.”

Sephiroth watched the two carefully. Making sure not to over react.. Which isn't something he sometimes did without knowing it. He started to walk toward the two when he noticed her date dragging her into an alley. She was kicking and screaming now. When he started to push her head toward his uniform pants that when Sephiroth immediate took action.
“Here suck my....”

Kira screamed.

“Sephiroth! Help me!”

She was crying now.

Sephiroth unsheathed his matsamune and struck the boy down. When the boy saw who it was fear immediately struck through his eyes.

“SOLDIER 1st Class Sephiroth! “ He stated admiringly.

“Do you have any idea who this girl is?”

The boy said nothing just stared in awe.

“She is the President's niece.”

Another panic of fear ran through his eyes.

“I..I...didn't know.”

“You'll be de-ranked if not thrown in jail for this. I promise you.”

And with another strike the boy fell silently to to the ground. Sephiroth then phoned in for the Turks to come in and take the degenerate to the Shinra jail to await his hearing. Sephiroth turned to Kira.
She was still breathing pretty hard and terrified. Tears were streaming down her cheeks.

“Are you alright?” Sephiroth asked with no emotion.

“Ye..yeah.” She stuttered out.

He turned back to look at the boy.

“He won't get into much trouble nothing really happened between the to of you. The most I'm sure is he'll get suspended and demoted. Maybe even a few months incarceration depending on how much you matter to your Uncle. But we should get out of here, saves us all the questions, I'll worry about doing the report in the morning. Come on.”

He walked over to her and stood her up on her feet. She looked exasperated. Then there was a hard rumbling in her belly. She hadn't eaten since she had been in the world of mankind. She wasn't use to feeding her body to keep it going. In Crystallis as a Fae there was no need for food. But when living here the Fae body adapts and must live by the rules that the creatures if this planet must live by. It wasn't to much of a hassle for her as other Fae's. She was half human so she loved food. But naturally, a Fae didn't have the acquired taste of food. Her belly rumbled again, this time much much louder. Sephiroth looked at her quizically as if she had just gone and vanished in front of him.

“I'm hungry I guess.” Kira told him turning a deep shade of red.
Sephiroth laughed. The first time she had ever really heard Sephiroth laugh.

“Hey do we have to go home? It's still pretty early.”

“Mmm...I guess we can stay out a bit longer. But theres really no point, your date's in jail. “

Kira smiled.

“Would you like to be my date for the night Seph?”

Sephiroth wished she hadn't asked her that. As much a he wanted that he really couldn't . Being seen with her like that in public would be worst then what happened the other night. But then no one had to really know the truth. He was assigned to watch the girl, and thats what he would be doing.

“Alright.”

Kira grinned real big and bit her bottom lip in shyness.

They went to grab something to eat and then they debated on rather or not to go see a movie or do something a little more subtle. They quickly decided that it was getting to be too late for a movie and decided to go for a walk through the park.
The park was dark and mysterious at night. The air had a cool, quietness to it and Kira stepped closer to Sephiroth as the chills of the eery night ran up her spine. Sephiroth didn't seem to have minded either. He was pretty content with the way the night had been going. It wasn't too romantically over done with Kira hanging off of his shoulder every moment like some wild banshee. He really was taken with Kira. She was beautiful and different than most women. She was well reserved , probably due to her strict upbringing. She was intelligent and very funny. Not hysterically funny like Zack, that would have been a turn off to Sephiroth. He didn't care for silly girls. He thought they were quite annoying. He wasn't usually all to taken with any female really. The women who acted like the obedient housewives portrayed in everyday society irritated him too. He didn't like that. If he was going to have a woman he wanted her to be independent and to stand up for herself. He didn't want a shadow. Some women were brought up to be better seen then heard and he hated that. He wanted one that you heard yelling at some asshole who had just put his hand on her ass, before you saw her throw her long curly mane back and stick out her petite curvy thigh in defiance. That was the girl he wanted. That was Kira.

“Maybe we shouldn't have come here either. Its kinda scary. You want to go back?” Kira whispered as close to Sephiroth as possible.

He smiled to himself.

“No. Nothing is going to hurt you, I'm right here.”

Kira sighed and they kept walking. After awhile Kira warmed to the darkness and she detached herself from Sephiroth. They came to a bench and sat on it. Kira looked up at the sky. It was beautiful. She marveled at how the stars were all ablaze like a wild fire. Sephiroth followed her gaze.

“So where exactly is your world?”

Sephiroth knew better than to ask that. It was kept a secret from the humans, or any other creature, where the Fae world Crystallis was located. No one ever really knew except the Fae's. Which is the main reason Sephiroth was assigned to protect and watch over her. Not just because her Uncle was afraid her mother would snatch her up. But because there were people who would pay top dollar for a Fae. Just to try to get one to squeal out the location of the most powerful and magical world ever known. And Kira was 'the' Fae Princess as well. She could make someone very rich. After a minute of pondering Kira turned to Sephiroth and smiled biting her lip.

“Where is yours?”

Sephiroth was puzzled.

“What do you mean?”

Kira turned back to the sky with an innocent smile on her face.

“Your not human.”

“Then what am I?”

Kira closed her eyes with her head still up to the sky.

“Jenova.” She whispered.

A wave of panic fled through Sephiroth. No one knew that except for him, the President of Shinra, and the scientists that work for Shinra. It was top secret. The Jenova project. How did she know. Unless her Uncle told her. But Shinra's own wife didn't know about him, why would he tell a niece he's only just found out about. He didn't. Kira came about this information in another way. She turned back to Sephiroth and saw that same quizical expression from earlier and decided that she owed him an explanation. She sighed again.

“The other night when we...kissed. I got a flash of quite a few memories.”

“Fae's can read minds?” He asked.

“No..not necessarily Fae's. Just me. And its not reading a mind. It's like, I'm an antenna picking up a frequency. But only certain ones. I don't really know what it is. It kinda scares me. It can show me everything if I wanted it to but...it was none of my business, your past, so I put a stop to the images I was getting from you. I'm sorry”

Sephiroth just stared at her.

“Could you get more than just a memory. Could you get what I can't remember.”

“Mmm....yeah but its complicated.” Kira turned away blushing.

“How so?”

She sighed again. Wishing this conversation would end. But she knew she had brought it to far.
“I only get the images if you get excited. The more excitement flows through you the more of your memories I get. I know I can get most of your memories from just arousing you. But to get everything, even what you can't remember....”

Kira stopped completely embarrassed with where this was going.

“We would have to make love. And it would have to be extremely passionate. The more so....the more I'll find out about you.”

Sephiroth had become it bit flushed with embarrassment as well. He turned his head back to the stars. Kira stood up.

“I want to go back already.” She said quietly.

Sephiroth nodded and they headed back to the mansion. They hadn't said a word to each other. The conversation on the bench had been a little too awkward.

“Kira would you like to go on another date?”

Sephiroth was merely running it through his head to see what it sounded like, he didn't mean to say it out loud. But when he saw the smile on Kira's face he didn't regret it.

“I'd love to.”

Then there was nothing again. Only quiet. Sephiroth wondered if she would let him hold her tonight. Not for perversed reasons but because he too could get flashes of ones memories through the same way she could. He remembered the look on her face when she had whispered Jenova. The look was of admiration. She also said that it wasn't a Fae trait. And he had it to so he wondered if she wasn't half Fae half human, but rather, half Fae half Jenova. He shook his head, no matter, he was going to hold her tonight and he was going to find out. He hadn't gotten anything the other night like she had because he always had that part of him locked up. But tonight he was going to use it, if she permitted of course.
