His voice was smooth as honey. My chest fluttered, heat rose from my chest to my cheeks. I felt sudden warmth on my ears slightly. He stood next to the window. His hair had a beautiful silver glow, within the light from the moon. His eyes sparkled in the little bit of light. His silhouette covered a bit of the floor. The mark on his chest was gone. Seeing his muscles made my cheeks burn. "Like what you see?" Sephiroth crossed his arms. I couldn't help but to smile. Suddenly I felt guilt weld up in my chest. It felt like I couldn't breathe. I was choking on my own guilt. I tried to kill the man that showed me compassion. A tear slipped from the corner of my eye. He suddenly walked over to me. I felt so much guilt I stood up and walked to the opposite side of the room. "What's the matter? Are you afraid of me?" He said in a deep voice. His voice made the hairs at the back of my neck stand up. "Sephiroth, I am not afraid of you. I am afraid of what I did to you." I said in a whisper, I stared outside the window.

Seeing the stars twinkle and shine. "I deserved everything, I had it coming." He said simply, then I heard the boards of the floor creek. I felt heat from behind me, I turned around to face him. But I couldn't find it in me to give him eye contact. He wiped the tear streak on my face. "No you didn't, I could of killed you..." I said shyly. I heard a sudden sigh of annoyance. That sound made my stomach twist. "Look me in the eyes." He told me, my eyes dragged from the floor to his intoxicating eyes. A sudden smirk came from my lips. "I don't think anyone has ever told you enough how beautiful your eyes are." I complimented him. I could feel the warmth from his body. "But, I find someone more beautiful." I felt my heart break, I didn't know what to think at the moment. "It's you." I felt my chest flutter. His words were like treasure. Hearing it from him, I could see he truly meant it.Hearing that made me relieved. He suddenly leaned down. Our faces were inches apart. Our noses nearly touched. Then I felt our lips connect. Heat rose from my toes to my stomach to my chest. His kiss was soft and didn't seem hungry and lust full. I deepen the kiss with entangling my fingers into his hair. 

He wrapped his arms around my waist and hoisted me up, it seem all natural. He sat down on the bed and placed me on his lap. I felt is fingers grip my hips to deepen the kiss. We suddenly pulled away for air. "You have no idea how long I have been waiting to do that." Sephiroth admitted making me blush badly."And you don't know how long I day dreamed this." He chuckled, we both placed our foreheads against each other's. "We can take this slow. If it doesn't work then we can stop. I am in the boundary's of focusing on what your comfortable with." Sephiroth said. I smiled, then suddenly bit my lip. "I would like that. It's hard forgetting what love does to me. What Shinra did to me..." "Hey, look at me. I won't let him hurt you again. I won't let him touch a pretty hair on your head." His words were full of sincere passion. I loved this side about him. The sweet side about him. The one with no anger or violence. The gentle side about him. My eye lids felt heavy, I felt safe again. No longer sad. I broke down when he wouldn't wake up. All this time... And he wasn't mad at me? He held me close, making me feel protected by my one-winged angel.

**********

The next day I woke up but didn't want to open my eyes. But I suddenly sensed something was missing, or someone. I leaned my head up from the pillow to find Sephiroth gone. Was this all just a dream? Did I just dream of a passionate moment with him? I lifted my head from the soft pillow to find a beautiful feathered necklace just lying on the pillow. I picked it up and gasped. I examend it with gentle hands. It was truly a beautiful necklace. I suddenly looked to the back of the necklace and it had writing indented in the necklace.

Just a whisper... I will find you...

I couldn't help but smile I held it in my hand and close to my heart. I then looked over to the pillow again and saw a note.

Morning Bree

Follow the notes to find me.

-Sephiroth

(The necklace)

I couldn't help but smile, my heart fluttered. This was going to be exiting. I swung my legs over the side of the bed and walked to the door and opened it. I then found a note in the hallway.

Your getting closer....

-Sephiroth

I knew how to find him, I just hoped he left the notes in a trail so I can find it. I walked to his room and found another note just my luck.

You've gone to far....try again...

-Sephiroth

I couldn't help but smile, and chuckle a bit.

"Sephiroth... I am going to find you." I chuckled. I walked to another room finding another note with something with it.

Looks like my little mouse has found a surprise~

-Sephiroth

I held it up to see it was a beautiful pink dress. I couldn't help but gasp, I was getting spoiled. I have never been treated like this before. Shinra never even gave me a flower. Rufus was always forceful with me making me very uncomfortable. I quickly put it on and it fit perfect. I spun around and giggled. I didn't have to comb my hair it already was poker straight.

 I walked down the steps to find another note and something with it.

The last is in me, you are the one before, but trailing behind the first of last, and low. The second in the whole family has come first! Only the clear sky and the vast ocean knows the secret...

-Sephiroth

I knew this was a riddle. The last one is in me..... What could that mean. In me..... It took me a few minutes to think about it. Could it mean the last letter in 'me'? Meaning 'E'.

You are the one before.... There had to be another letter in that sentence. Sephiroth was so smart to come up with this riddle. Hang on..... 'You' are the one before meaning the letter is 'U', but it's before the E.

But trailing behind the first of 'last'..... Could the letter be 'L'? I wondered. It had to be.....

The second in the whole family has come first!

Darn that could mean anything.... Second in the whole family..... Second in the whole family.... Hang on that's another letter! It had to be the 'B'. But what does it spell? And where does it go? Has to come first..... So the 'B' must be the first letter.

B-L-U-E. Blue. Oh! Only the clear sky and the vast ocean knows the secret!

I have to look for something blue! I also picked up the white lily that came with the note. I walked around the main floor looking for something blue. But it could be anything! I sighed then going to check the last room.The living room. The one with the fire place of course. I looked around with my eyes, is there a painting with blue on it? I wondered. Nope there was no painting. As I scanned the room looking for something blue. The midnight blue blanket! It brings back memories when Sephiroth took me in, kept me warm, and healed me. The memory makes my heart flutter. I walked over to the very expensive looking couch. Seeing the blanket nicely folded, near the corner. I saw another note. This is the most fun I had in a long time.

Meet me out back, I have a surprise to show you.

Also bring the blanket.

-Sephiroth

I smiled thinking 'what is he up to?'. I looked towards the clock and it was about 7 pm and the sun was starting to set. It took me all day to figure this out!? And he's been outside all day! I picked up the blanket and walked to the back door. Both doors were arched and big glass windows. To complement it; the handles were both coloured gold with beautiful flower designs on it, in which you would push down on. I opened the door and gasped seeing a big beautiful garden. All consisting of beautiful flowers, shrubs, and arches. I stepped down the stone steps, with my bare feet. I forgot to put on shoes, but who cares. Where could he be? I walked around looking for him or at least another note.

"Sephiroth?!" I called out, waiting for him to respond. I walked further and further looking around. Trying to see if I can spot a 6 ft 2 Sephiroth, somewhere.....

I admire all the flowers and plants, they were beautiful. Small streams here and there. Coi fish in the small streams and ponds. Water lilys. I sighed how beautiful this was.

Suddenly I felt strong arms wrap around my waste. I suddenly squeaked in surprise. I knew it was Sephiroth. I giggled when I heard him sigh and bury his face into my neck.

"I was waiting...~" I heard him cooed into my ear.

"I am so sorry I made you wait." I smiled. He let go of his hold and stood in front of me. He saw the necklace hanging out of the hold of my hand.

"It's okay Breanne, may I?" I nodded and gave him the necklace. I adjusted the hold on the lily and the blanket, to have my other hand pull up my hair. He was gentle, putting the necklace around my neck. He then took my hair with his hand and let got of it.

"You have such beautiful hair..." He whispered then taking the lily and setting it behind my ear before tucking one side of my bangs behind my ear. I smiled and took a lily from the garden and asked him to bend down a bit. Since I was 9 inches shorter than him. He closed his eyes and I placed the lily in his hair, and pecked him on the cheek. In which a second later he smiled and opened his eyes. The reason for my choice of flower was he was like an angel, meaning he was pure, and the white lily symbolised purity. He stood up and took my hand.

"I wanted to show you something," He smiled. I really loved this side about him, how sweet, kind, and gentle he was. But he did have an angered side about him, that makes you not want to set him off. I felt like I was taming his beast side, but if we have to fight, we will fight together. We walked a little ways until we saw that same high cliff with a new opening. We walked through the gave. He lead me through the dark, making sure I wouldn't step on anything unnecessary. Once we were out the sun was blocked by the cliff. It was the same spot where I fought him, it pained me to even be here. But I gasped when I saw all of these flowers glow in the dark. Pink, blue, purple, yellow, green, and many other colours showed.

"Do you like it? I made sure to make a better memory then you impaling me with masamune." He chuckled at the last part. I laid the blanket out on the ground so we can sit there for a while. We just enjoyed each others presence, trying to see if we could spot certain stars, we were even lucky to see a shooting star. I wished he would get his wing back and break the curse. Hang on a sec.... Why hasn't the curse been broken? I feel warm and fuzzy inside for him. I blush when I see him. I want to be with him all the time. I have kissed him before. What is missing?

"Bree? What's wrong?" Sephiroth asked, turning onto his side to look at me.

"I was just wondering why hasn't the curse been broken? We have been with each other for half a year." He then looked like he was deep in thought. He then stood up for a sec and made his wing extend from his shoulder blade. Still bone. No fluffy black or white feathers. A small sigh escaped his lips.

"I think the curse wants me to do something a specific way before it can be broken." But what was it? Time was running out.

"I will do everything I can to help you break the curse, Sephiroth." At this point I was committed to help him in anyway I could. He then turned his head and looked at me, with a smile. I have recently noticed his eyes are brighter than usual. When he was more angry they would turn darker.

"I was exploring the mansion myself this morning.... I did find something really cool in the garage..." He raised an eyebrow and a small grin pulled to his lips.

"What did you find?" I asked.

"A motor bike. After when we get back let's take it for a spin." Oh that mischievous grin on his face, was making my heart melt.

"Alright. Lets take it for a spin." He then helped me off the ground and I picked up the blanket before we headed back to the mansion. I was exited to get out after a long time. This was going to be one hell of a ride.
