X- Chapter VII -X
Xx- Don't Worry -xX
-X-x-X-x-X-x-X-x-X-x-X-x-X-x-X-x-X-x-X-x-X-x-X-x-X-x-X-x-X-x-X-x-X-x-X-x-X-
A yawn was released into the air, following the vixen sitting up on her bed, stretching her long arms above her, and moving from side to side.
"Seph--.." She looked over to her right, only to notice he was gone.
Though, where'd he go?
The expecting woman stood anxiously and was about to rush out of the room until she found a note on the bureau beside the door. Tifa picked up the letter and read it out loud quietly to herself.
"My dear, I apologize but I must leave. Do not worry. I will return before our creation is born. Where am I? You do not need to know. There are plenty of things to do around there without me, please carry on until I come back.
Sephiroth"
She crumbled up the letter and flung it away. The nerve of him to do something like this. 8 months she was into this pregnancy, and where was her love to support her? No where in sight.
She fell back onto her bed, and let out a loud weep, she was afraid to be alone.
Sephiroth's Location
"Does she know?" the man hissed.
"No. I don't believe it is any of her business." he nodded.
"Good. This is a very delicate mission. All you have to do is, well, kill her." the man grinned.
"Sounds easy enough, the little brat wouldn't know what even struck her. Let's see how Miss Kisaragi is after she's been hit." Sephiroth chuckled.
Back With Tifa
"Where could he be?" She growled and bit at her lower lip, carefully not to puncture it.
Suddenly, the doorbell had rang, causing the girl to jump a little. She stood from the couch and slowly made her way to the nearby window to peek out.
"The UPS man! But no one ordered a package." She thought to herself.
She made her way over to the doorway and opened the door ever so slightly.
"Could I help you, sir?" she asked.
"Yes, I have a package here for Miss Tifa Lockhart. Might you be her?" he smiled.
"Umm, why yes." she answered, and removed the box from the man's hands and shut the door.
She stared at the brown cardboard which covered a mystery that laid inside for a few moments.
"Could Sephiroth had sent something?"
She put it down on the table beside the couch and sat back down.
"Or...it might even be a trick..."
She sighed, watching it, before realizing if she stared long enough, curiosity would get the best of her, and she might fall for a trap. So, the vixen stood and entered the kitchen. She opened the fridge and took out a cup of blood, and took a sip from it.
"But who would be out to get me?" she paced momentarily, "That's right. No one. So, I guess I could open this box, afterall."
She went back into the living room, and opened the package to find an invitation, and a red rose.
"You are cordially invited to the wedding of:
Yuffie Kisaragi and Kyo Kirjou"
"Oh wow...I guess she's all grown-up, huh?" Tifa grinned and looked down at her stomach and pat it gently.
"Soon she might be having a little one like you, huh?" She smiled and took the rose out and brought it into the kitchen to put it into a glass vase filled with water.
Before disposing of the box, she noticed one more piece of paper.
"Heya Tifa! Long time no see, huh? Well, I'm writing you this to ask if you'd be my Maid of Honor. Say yes! Come on! Well, my numbers below. Just call me with the answer!
Yuffie"
Her smile remained, and she grabbed the phone nearby to dial the number listed. A few rings and then came a voice.
"Hello?"
A male's voice. Was this Kyo?
"Umm...does Yuffie live here?"
"Oh yes. She's in the other room. I'll get her for you, if you want?"
"Yes please."
After hearing some grumbles in the background, the joyful voice of the girl rang through the phone.
"Hello?"
"Yuffie?"
"TIFA! I'M SO GLAD YOU CALLED! Sorry if the rose died, I told them last night to make sure it got there safely."
"Shockingly it's alive. Though, anyways, I have an answer for you. I would love to be your Maid of Honor."
"Awesome! So is that guy of yours coming?"
"Uhh...well he's out on a business trip now, I'm not sure if he'd be able to make it. I sure hope he will be able to, though."
"Aw, that's a shame. I hope he can too! Though, I have to go now. Duty calls! Bye!"
"Bye."
She hung up the phone, and sighed.
She looked down again at that stomach of hers.
"Daddy will be home soon enough, I hope. I miss him all ready."
She went back into her bedroom, and to sleep she went. All of the events within those few minutes had made her tired.
