Part 9
Sephiroth stalked back over
the sand, thinking that it was really inconvenient. There should be mirrors on
the beach. How was he supposed to see what the hair dye looked at without a
mirror? He also couldn’t believe how far away the pirate ship was. He gave a
sigh of relief when it eventually came into view. He climbed the gangplank
slowly, flipping his hair back. As he came into view, he realised that the
whole crew (All four of them) were staring at him. He stared back evenly.
“What are you looking at?”
Wordlessly, Boris took a few steps forward carrying a mirror.
“Sorry Boss, looks like the
dye went wrong.” Slowly Sephiroth took the mirror. Wordlessly he stared at his
reflection in it. His hair shone silver in the sunlight. All except for a few
strands at the front where he had applied the dye. The salt water had reacted
with the dye, and the sunlight had enhanced it. He now sported several strands
of neon pink hair. He opened and closed his mouth, but sound evaded him, and
overall gave him the expression of an astonished goldfish. Finally, he slowly
and gracefully keeled over backwards, in a dead faint.
Cloud wielded his sword over
his head several times then struck, his entire weight behind the blow. A red
substance spurted everywhere. Cloud wiped a few drops of the sticky mess off
his forehead. Dammit! What idiot had put a full bottle of ketchup in the bin?
He backed away, a scowl on his face, and observed the havoc he had wreaked on
the rubbish tip. Dismembered bins lay everywhere, litter lay in pieces on the
floor, all sorts of things were strewn around. Cloud sat down, staring around.
He had taken out his anger on anything he saw. It wasn’t even Sephiroth that
had made him this angry. It was the fact that all those he thought were his
friends had suddenly been half-afraid of him since he told Tifa he was lactose
intolerant. What was worse, the next day it was in the headlines. Everyone now
thought of him as a failure! Why did he have to be the hero? Were they all so
pathetic that they couldn’t fight without him? He gave a sigh, stood up and
kicked the bin. Then he walked off to find some secluded corner. Solitude was
best in these times, at least for him.
Sephiroth heard a whisper.
“I think he’s waking up” it
was Boris. Curse that man! How dare he turn his, Sephiroth’s, hair bright pink?
Subconsciously, of course, Sephiroth knew that it wasn’t Boris’ fault that the
dye reacted with seawater, but he could hardly blame himself, now, could he? He
groaned slightly and sat up. He gazed around the room. His eyes picked out
Boris, sitting beside him, looking quite worried. A little way behind him stood
Reno, carrying a pail of water. Apparently, the intent was to throw it over
Sephiroth in order to wake him up. He spotted Cid by the helm, sniggering to
himself. A rage built up inside him. Curse that Cid! There must be some way to
get rid of him. Boris spoke
“Boss, are you alright?”
Sephiroth noted with glee that this was the second time Boris had referred to
him as “boss”. It gave him a smug feeling of satisfaction. He stood shakily,
glancing around again, and shooting Cid a venomous look. His next order of business
was to get rid of him. He flipped his hair, catching a glimpse of the bright
pink strands as he did so. Well, he thought, I had better stop doing that as
often. Draws too much attention to the pink. It was a bad habit anyways.
Shaking his head, he swept his hair back, and glanced haughtily around.
“Right, time we got to work.
Reno, go with Ella and get more food supplies. Boris, you find fresh water.
Cid” he spat the name, “you go below deck and make sure everything is working
ok.” the first three crewmembers saluted and left the ship, going about their
tasks. Sephiroth grinned. Power felt so good. He heard a sound behind him.
“So, boss. What are you
planning to do?” It was Cid. Sephiroth noticed with distaste the note of
sarcasm dripping off the word boss. He turned.
“I am the captain,
therefore I will be seeing to things on deck. Now get to work!” Grumbling,
Cid traipsed below deck. Sephiroth watched him go, a look of contempt on his
face. A malicious grin spread across his face. The strands of a plan were
forming in his mind. Time for some revenge on Cid.
