Chapter 2

White Gold

Sephiroth awoke the next morning to find his white chocobo still
asleep near his chest. He was purring away like a kitten, yet it was a
chocobo. He smiled and then realized that his training classes started
in twenty minutes. What was he suppose to do with his chocobo? Wait! I
have to feed him! The café should have something green. Seph looked at
his chocobo and smiled; he came up to it, stroking under its chin.

"I'll be right back my choco!" He whispered excitingly and left his
dorm. He almost ran straight for the café and one of the soldiers told
him to slow down but he ignored them.

When he reached his destination, Seph went straight toward the cook's
room in the far back. The cook was a short man of stocky build; his
baldhead gleamed with sweat as he played around with the oven. Seph
remembered when he put a slug in on of his famous soups and when he
put a snake inside a cold pie. Ahh, memories...they will never be
forgotten! Seph pulled up a stool and waited for Mac to finish up.

Mac turned around and almost lost his dish. "Don't ever do that
again!" Mac exclaimed gasping for breath, "You want to give me a heart
attack?"

"Don't ever do what?" Seph asked, emotions draining from his face and
tone of voice. Mac bit his tongue and forgot that nobody ever crossed
Seph.

"Nothing." He answered.

"Listen Mac, I need to know if you have any green stuff." Sephiroth
asked.

"What green stuff?"

"You know vegetables and cabbage all that kind of greens." Seph
quipped.

"Oh, yeah. What for? Your not up to your tricks again?" Mac asked
nervously.

"If I was, I wouldn't come up and asked you, I would just do it while
you least expected it."

"All right, there is a green house behind that door over there. Take
as much as you want, I have enough to feed an army for a decade." Mac
replied cheerfully.

"Whatever." Seph muttered and walked off toward the door.

When Sephiroth opened the door, he felt like he past into another
world. What a jungle! There were tall trees bearing ripe and young
fruit. Plants with tomatoes and green cucumbers and his favorite
fruit, the Pella. They were reddish blue kind of berry that could
restore your Hp. Plus they tasted delicious.

Ten minutes later he came out with a large bag full of fruit and
greens. Oh his chocobo would love him for this. Yet he was young, and
Seph didn't know if the baby would accept greens right away. Mac was
busy talking to a customer, while Seph walked over to the large fridge
and snuck two bottles of milk and a pan. He stuffed it into the bag
and left. Many people looked at him, but he glared back at them.
Reminding the people not to bother him. He opened his room to find
Zack already there keeping the chocobo company.

"Hey Zack, I got food for this little one." Sephiroth announced.

"Great, but you do know we'll be late for training class?"

"Don't worry I got it covered."

"I sure hope so." Zack replied quietly. Seph took out a few greens and
brought it over to the baby. It sniffed and toyed with it a bit.

"It doesn't seem to want any." Seph muttered.

"Maybe if you show him that you're eating it, he'll follow your lead."
Zack explained. Seph nodded and took some Pella berries and set some
down in front of the chocobo. The baby looked confused until Seph and
Zack started to eat the food. Finally it got the idea and took a
taste.

"WARK!" exclaimed the baby. He began to gobble down as much of the
greens as possible.

"You know--" Zack began while eating some of the fruit, "I read that
chocobo's love a plant called, Gyhsal Greens."

"Really?" Sephiroth asked.

"Yeah, they sell them in town. So-- what are you going to name him?"

"Don't know. But did you notice how when he ate the Pella, his
feathers glowed gold?" Sephiroth said.

"No, I was paying attention to my food. When it comes to yummies as
good as these, I have a hard time paying attention." Sephiroth laughed
and petted his chocobo.

WHITE GOLD

"What!?" Seph shouted out.

"What? Did I miss something?" Zack asked. His lips were stained violet
from the berry juice. His face held a confused expression.

"White Gold..." Seph answered.

"White Gold?"

Bullion...

"White Bullion!" Seph exclaimed, "That's his name, White Bullion!"

"Cool...what's bullion?"

"It is another name for gold."

"So shouldn't we be heading back to class? They are bound to come
looking for us and they might find White. Then what?" Zack said as he
tried to take some of the violet stain of his lips. Zack had a point
there and they would never allow any animals on campus.

"All right, let's go." Sephiroth said with a sigh. When they were
about to leave the White tried to follow.

"I'm sorry boy, but you have to stay in here and be quiet. If you do
that I promise to bring more greens in for you." Seph said. He carried
White back to the bed and left the room.

When they arrived at the training center, the teacher was a bit
annoyed.

"And where have you two been?" he asked angrily.

"We have been around." Seph answered coldly.

"Do you know the penalty for being late?"

"Yes I do, and don't blame young Zack for his tardiness, it was my
fault sir." Sephiroth answered. He could hear Zack sigh nervously
behind him.

"Well then Sephiroth, if you're late again..." but he was cut off.

"You will do what, sir?" he asked innocently, "Would you like to fight
against me, teach me a lesson or two?" The trainer froze at that
comment. He hadn't been a teacher long but he was already warned not
to cross this person. For he was special, gifted with unlimited powers
and strength.

"Or, I would report you to the general. Then he will deal with you."
He concluded.

"We'll see." Seph muttered as he took his position in the line of
grouped students.

*O.k. White Bullion is a stupid name I know, but hey, I was tired and
my shoulders were sore. V.V he...hee*
