Mako

Tuesday, May 14, 2013

Sephiroth moaned, grabbing his head. “Where am I,” he asked.

“Your house,” I answered. He nearly jumped off the bed. “Hello dear,” he stuttered. He hung his head, trying not to make eye contact.

“Yep, Cloud brought ya home yesterday after noon after your little explosion. Now I know why you were being so nice to me the last couple of days.”

“I was only trying to destroy an old mako reactor,” he assured me, “some of Hojo’s old assistants were conducting some experiments there.”

“Oh so just because they worked with Hojo you thought it had something to do with Janova?”

“It’s always mother,” he growled.

“You know she’s not really your mother right?”

“She may as well be!”

“Don’t you snap at me!”

Sephiroth hit the wall behind him. He glared up at me and I glared back. Did he really think that would spook me? He got up and walked out of our room. I groaned, “Sephiroth.” But as I called to him I heard the front door slam. I threw my hands up, “Forget it, just forget it.”

I walk down the hall to my office and sat down in front of my computer. Writing had always calmed me, but I couldn’t get my head to work today.

“Mommy,” I heard Loz mew behind me.

“What is it sweetie?”

“Why did daddy leave?”

“He’s being dumb again,” I answer. “No worries, he’ll be back.” I knew he would be. There was nowhere else he could go where he wouldn’t get the crap beat out of him. Try as he might he wasn’t the strongest person on the planet. He’s a great swordsmen and an amazing strategist. But he tended to let his pride and stubbornness cloud his better judgment. So he’d wonder around a bit, then come crawling home.

“Promise mommy,” Loz asked.

“He always does,” I answer.

Later

“Thanks for looking after the boys,” I say to Marceline.

“No problem,” she says as I user her into the house, Demyx and Saix in tow.

“But we want to go with you mommy,” Loz protested. “I don’t,” Kadaj said. I threw back my head and sighed. “You so sure about this,” I ask Marceline.

“It’s fine,” She answers. “You go run your errands and go to your meeting. I’ve got this.” I give her a hug. “Thanks” I turn to leave, “Oh and if Sephy should come back while I’m gone… just ignore him for me.”

Marceline laughs, “I’ll be sure to do that.” I smile and shake my head. I’m not really looking forward to tonight, but I had already made promises and at least it got me out of the house. I love my boys, don’t get me wrong, but there is only so much of the little demons I can take. They really are too much like there father sometimes and at the moment I wasn’t too happy with him. 

“Where’s Sephiroth,” I heard. I hadn’t really been paying attention so I didn’t see Cloud and Zack sneak up on me.

“Haven’t seen him for awhile,” I answer, “he gets like this whenever we have a fight, he kind of wonders off…”

“That’s what I was afraid of,” Cloud said.

“What’s he done this time?!”

“Word is his roaming around Midgar,” Zack answered. “People are freaking out, they think he’s up to something.”

I groan, “Look do what you have to, I don’t have time to deal with his crap right now. Just… get him home in one piece okay.”

“Okay Angel,” Cloud smiles, “we won’t cut him up too bad.”

“Just knock him out or something,” I say, “I’ll deal with it later. Love you both, got to go.” They smile at me and take off. I sigh again, “Sephy… what is up with you?”
