The creaking of the old mansion door would scare even dustbunnies,there we're cobwebs everywhere and disgusting as it was there we're rats as well.Stupid Hojo asking her to come all the way here,just to get some stupid papers or whatever.But she was determined to know the truth,Yuffie had to know why she couldn't remember anything about that war with her country.
Walking inside slowly she scuffed her boots across the dirty floor,now where did that old man say these papers we're.Ah right they we're in a safe upstairs,why the hell we're they in a creepy old place like this anyways.Yuffie had been here countless times before,but still the whole thing creeped her out.
The door closed behind her,the ninja let out a small "eek" then sighed because of her own stupidity.She then felt something land on her shoulder,turning her head she let out a earsplitting scream if anyone was in here and ran up the creaky old stairs flailing her arms.
"AHHHHHH GET IT OFF,OFF YOU HAIRY THING EEEEEEEEEEEEEK".
Yuffie brushed the hairy spider off her shoulder,and ran into the nearest room getting her leg stuck in a floorboard that broke from under her.Well this was just perfect,and she knew Cloud and anyone else she knew weren't around because of the stupid dilemma going on with the black materia.
"Wahhhhhhhh anyone out there,HELP ME DAMMIT"
ooc:Anyone can jump in

Sephiroth had been waiting in the mansion for a good week now, waiting for what? He couldn't remember...but all he had to entertain himself where the monsters...and he killed all of them in one day, so that form of entertainment was short lived. So what did he do from then on? Nothing...he sat perched on roof beams, slept against walls...he just did nothing in general. But the creaking of the huge doors to the mansion caused the one-winged angel to finally turn his attention to something other than his own boots or his wing-feathers....which he'd littered all over the place by accident. Flying up to the darkness of the ceiling, Sephiroth landed on a good peice of support and watched...making sure not to make a sound. Even the door closing on its own after the newcommer arrived startled him, but all he did as a reaction was smack a poor spider from it's web...sending it falling downwards and onto the girl. Her scream made the one-winged angel wish to cover his ears...but to support himself on the ceiling he had to keep a hold of some loose wall-boards...and letting go would cause him to fall. He chuckled though after recognising that scream...it was the Yuffie girl again. Not only was she loud and whiney, but it seemed she was clumsy as well...Sephiroth couldn't help but let out a light laugh as her foot got stuck in the floorboards. His light entertainment in this girls clumsy nature was short, since once again she let out loud noises involving whining and shouting...and the one winged angel couldn't take it anymore. His ears where ringing, he had to stop further noise damaging his hearing. He slammed his hands over his ears, but as a concequence fell from the ceiling and slammed down on the floor right in front of Yuffie.
"...agh...noisy brat..." Sephiroth muttered as he got to his feet and hid is wing, Yuffie was lucky though that he wasn't in the mood to butcher her for the noise...instead, he'd rather mock her for further amusement.
"Oh my, it looks like you're stuck. Haha...oh...and...what are you doing here? I thought a 'haunted mansion' might scare away the little girls. Haha."

"Wh....wh....WHAAAAAAAAAAAAAT,oh no not you again".
It was bad enough she got a spider dropped on her,but now out of anyone to show up it had to be Sephiroth.Wait where did he come from anyways,the ninja looked up at the ceiling then back down to the silver haired man before her.Had he been here all this time,letting a frown creep across her lips she flailed her arms wanting so bad to smack the man in front of her.
"I am NOT A CHILD,and I came here to get Hojo some papers".
Oh crud why did she have to let that slip out,grumbling she went to work on trying to get her foot free from the floorboard.Wiggling this way and that,Yuffie finally gave up and just sighed.Why didn't he just kill her now and get it over with,I mean here she was stuck in a creepy mansion with the least favorite person on her like list.
"Why the hell you here anyways,trying to freak the children out huh Sephy".

Sephiroth snorted upon hearing the name 'Hojo' slip from the girls mouth. That was the last name he wanted to hear, and the deeply hidden rage within him wanted to make him draw his sword and kill the Wutainese girl for just mentioning him.
"If you're a pawn to...Hojo...then you can give him a message. I'm going to hunt him down and butcher him for what he did...what he stole from me..." Sephiroth growled, clenching his fists angrily as he gritted his teeth into a snarl. And that 'you lady' didn't seem to understand...Sephiroth was here for many reasons. One, to make sure no one saw what he saw, see the very things that made him go mad. Two, he didn't have a home...and this was the only place beside North Cave he could come to. Three, he was waiting...for Cloud...to come to him. Just like he always use to. But he wouldn't let Yuffie know that now, would he?
"...'freaking children out' is amusing, but not the reason I am here. I'm here because I choose to be here."

From the depths of the earth, in the bottommost foundation of the mansion, a low sound rose. A series of creaks, one after the other in perfect rhythm, resounded as something made its way up the staircase. The monotone symphony continued for a good minute as the entity that had somehow entered from the basement progressed up, taking its sweet time in doing so. However, in the same instance, there was a purpose behind its movement. It was not coming to the surface for the hell of it; it wanted something.
A tremendous crash rocked the structure as the door leading to the basement was smashed off its hinges, colliding with the far wall and shattering into a shower of splinters. A large hand, partially decayed so that parts of bone were plainly obvious, reached out and gripped the frame of the doorway. Then, taking another series of lumbering steps, emerged the Fiend of Earth.
Scarmiglione’s gaze shifted about the room, searching for the sensation he presently felt. He had already heard a bit of shouting earlier, but that was not why he had arisen from his browsing of the basement library. What interested him more was the presence of Jenova cells. Those within himself quivered with anticipation, as if they were coming home after spending an eternity in a foreign land. After a moment, his rotted sockets slowly swiveled to the stairway, where he heard voices.
Up there......

Last she checked,Yuffie was no pawn of Hojo's.But then why was she agreeing to get his papers for him,only to find out about her past.Then something dawned on her,Sephiroth had been there when her country was attacked not only the turks.Wiggling her leg again she finally pulled it free,hence the few splinters that we're stuck to her leg.
"You we're there when my country was attacked,a long time ago it was you who led the battle".
Yuffie put her hands on her hips,narrowing her eyes at the one winged angel.Somehow she didn't seem scared or threatened by him,inside though her body was shaking abit.Everything was still so fuzzy to her,but she did remember seeing him and that Zack guy as well but that's about it.
"I am not a pawn of Hojo,it's just he was going to te......".
Yuffie got cut off by the tremendous crash,rocking the very foundation she and Sephiroth we're on.She of course lost her balance and fell on her butt,if she wasn't shaking before oh hell she was shaking now.Waiting to see what made that crash,Yuffie didn't have to wait long as it showed it's ugly self in the doorway.The ninja clinged on to the nearest thing by her,and that was Sephiroth because right now she didn't care.
"Shit......shit.......SHIT,what is that".

Sephiorth growled in irritation as the Wutain girl drabbled on about his previous acts in the Wutai war...and Hojo... He was cut short of yelling at her to shut her mouth by the strange sounds comming from nearby, and instinctivly anticipated the noise to be from Cloud. But this presence...this essence...felt strange and unfamiliar, and for a moment Sephiroth felt weak...almost as if he was being overpowered by something. Something deep down in the pit of Sephiroths mind and stomach told him to hide somewhere, keep quiet and out of sight...but...his mind was playing game on him recently. He glanced over his shoulder to look behind him, as if expecting the source of his discomfort to waltse right out behind him, before turning around to have his back face Yuffie.
"Something else is among us." Sephiroth muttered, before summoning Masamune (he got it back) and entering a defencive stance...still facing the direction of the noises.
(I edited, but it still sucks.)

Scarmiglione continued to progress towards the sensation of other Jenova cells, making his way to the second floor in much the same manner he had left the basement levels; one lurching step at a time. As he grew closer, he realized that he felt more than mere cells though. He felt something much greater, something essential to everything he and the other Fiends stood for. Within the man at the top of the stairs, alongside the genetics of the extraterrestrial being, was the Black Materia. Or part of it, anyway. He could not tell how he knew this, but Scarmiglione was aware that the Materia was not whole.
Not that it matters. Fragments of the Malebolge are favorable to none of it.
Reaching the top, Scarmiglione paused. He had time to look the man before him over, ignoring the shouting young woman near him. He looked too human, too mortal. But there was no denying it. This man was connected to the being Jenova in the worst possible way. And more importantly, he held his portion of the Black Materia somewhere on his person.
The Fiend of Earth did not need to open his skeletal jaw to speak, with the voice being emitted from beyond his forever grinning teeth. Each word was slow and raspy, the vocal apparatus having undergone the same decay as the rest of the body. “Fragmants of the Malebolge......give them to me.........”

Sephiroth narrowed his eyes, he'd been expecting something to come up to face him...friend or foe, he felt the presence and knew better than to ignore it. The creature though truely was bizarre, a first to the eyes of the one-winged-angel, but also somehow felt so familiar. The magic the creature possessed...he felt it somewhere else...
"Fragments of the Malebolge...?" Sephiroth muttered. What was the creature after? All Sephiroth had on him was some of the usual cure and elemental materia, his Masamune and two shards of Black Materia. Wait...it seemed everyone was after those shards...could this creature be after them as well? To test his suspicions, Sephiroth took off his jacket and threw it over Yuffie...as if to tell her to keep hold of it for him...before withdrawing masamune, which only had basic materia equipt to it, and cracking his knuckles.
"Describe it to me, and then maybe I might tell you where it is." Sephiroth growled, before getting into a defencive stance. This was't just a test to see if even monsters where after the black materia, but also a test of his new skills...he'd learnt over the past few weeks how to live without Masamune, how to fight without a weapon but his own fists. Sure he was still a little rusty, but nothing beats testing yourself to the limits of your training...to see how much more you need to do.
"And maybe you should also learn to ask for things more politely." Sephiroth teased, a slight smirk on his face as he remained in his defensive stance.
(Gah, my post sucks!)

Scarmiglione stood with infinite patience, unshifting in the slightest. He had hoped that the term would be universal among those embraced by Jenova, but it seemed that was not the case. Besides, this man was far too different. Whereas the Fiends would inherit the power of Jenova, he was a mere slave to her. Such a fissure was too vast for any comparison of value.
The decayed Fiend was interested in how the pawn readied himself for conflict, despite his claim of ignorance towards the Malebolg. Of course, he probably just knew it by its more common title, as the Fiends were the only one who had referred to it as such. “The Malebolg.....what humans call......Black Materia......” Now there could be no mistake. Scarmiglione felt the shards, and it only seemed likely that the swordsman knew them for what they were. “Relinquish.....or perish.....” Though Scarmiglione’s sockets were devoid of eyes and his face without expression, his threat was very tangible. His knees dropped half an inch as what appeared to be steam seeped from his grinning teeth.

Sephiroth flicked some of his hair aside as the creature enlightened him about what it wanted...and as Sephiroth's suspicions on monsters wanting the shards now being confirmed, he chose to see what else he could find out.
"The black materia? If you want it...you'll have to MAKE me tell you where it is." Sephiroth chuckled, clicking his neck slightly before flexing his shoulders. He was ready for it, the inevitable fight. But the Wutai girl was a problem...he didn't care about her or anything...but he didn't want her knowing where the materia was, or who else had it on them.
"Screaming brat...leave...right now." Sephiroth instructed her, keeping his back turned to her and his eyes focused on the beast before him.
(sorry to ask, but can we wait and see what yuffie does next?)

Leave did he just tell her to leave,HELL NO she was no coward and besides she had to get to that safe.Standing up Yuffie took out her weapon she kept with her at all times,there was no way she was leaving this mansion without those papers for Hojo.She had come too far,and had to indure too much to let herself be shooed away by a silver haired ass.
"No way Sephiroth,I am not leaving besides i'm curious to know where those black shards are as well".
She had remembered her battle with Cloud,he had those materia shards and went beserk destroying Tifa's bar.If he wanted to make her leave,then he would have to kill her.Twirling the four star point boomerang,Yuffie stood her ground even though she was disgusted by the hidieous creature.
"And I don't know what that thing is,but I am not leaving here without those papers".

Something resembling a hoarse grunt escaped from the depths of Scarmiglione’s throat, but he otherwise made no sound. The man had made his decision, and that was that. There would be no more words. No more offers. No more communication. It was just the Fiend and the puppet who held the Black Materia. Granted, there was also that screaming girl, but he paid her no mind. At this point in time, she did not exist to him. If she insisted on getting in the way then fine, but for now she was just a minor irritation that could be easily ignored.
Scarmiglione sprang. He was not particularly agile, and never would be due to the simulated ageing of his joints, but it was the fastest he had moved in their presence. The motion only brought him closer to the swordsman, and the shard that throbbed from his body. The Fiend of Earth actually pitied him a little. He had the power of Jenova, but not the freedom of his own will. Whether he realized it or not, this man could never aspire to be anything more than the most basic and loyal pawn to his extraterrestrial mother.
Now in closer proximity, Scarmiglione brought his left arm into a sweeping arc. He aimed to smash Sephiroth in the side; a hit that would send him into the far wall if it connected.

Sephiroth couldn't take anymore time to argue with the Wutai girl, the beast had already made its move by comming that bit closer with a single spring. And once its heavy frame connected with the ground, the floor boards shook from the weight, and Sephiroth had to concentrate to keep his balance. It didn't help though, that the Black Materia itself was causing complications, Sephiroth felt heavy and drained...as if he'd been fighting for hours without rest...all from just the creature comming closer.
Whincing in slight discomfort, clasping his chest to sooth the stinging for a breif moment, the one-winged-angel was oblivious to Scarmiglione's oncomming attack...and as a result had to dodge at the last second...simply by leaping back before the arm could connect. But once he had landed from his leap, his heart sank into horrible stinging pains, similar to the pains Cloud had felt when the materia reacted to 'evil' presences. But he was good at hiding the pain, with him being so powerful it wasn't a problem. It was overriding the black materia's influence on him that was the problem, it screamed out at him to set it free and find a new host. Was Zack right? Was Sephiroth being neglected by mother? Was his power nothing to her now? He couldn't allow it, being replaced like an old dog! He had to fight those lies! Getting back to his feet, panting lightly, Sephiroth entered an offensive stance...clenching his fists tightly as he lept at the monster before him, prepairing a head-shot by clenching both fists together in a tight lock. If it connected, the monster would have the back (or side) of his head hit by two clenched and powerfully thrown fists...a move destined to stun, and do nothing more.
Well, maybe cause a headache.
(sucky post!!)
