The Fighter and The Monster *A beauty and the beast/ FF7 Fanfiction*

Chapter 5: Be our guest

An hour later Clouds stomach starts to growl from hunger. He tried to ignore it at first but decided that he couldn't take it anymore. So he decided to leave the room and find something to eat.

He goes to the door and slightly opens it up to see if there was anyone there. He looks to his right to see Kadaj napping on the ground. Mostly like tired from having to keep watch. He then leaves his room and closes the door behind him.

As Cloud makes his way down the stairs heard talking coming from one of the rooms in the castle. It was Yazoo and Loz conversing with each other while cleaning up the kitchen.

"I can't believe it! I work day in and day out over this hot stove and for what? Just to have all this perfectly good food go to waste!" Loz shouted in frustration.

"Oh stop your complaining. It's been a long night for all of us."

"Well if you ask me he was just being stubborn. After all the master did at least say, please."

"But if the master doesn't learn how to tame that overwhelming aggression and not put fear into others, he'll never be able to break the sp- OH hello Cloud." Seeing Cloud walk in Yazoo quickly changes the subject.

"Um hey. Is this a bad time?" Cloud asks as he walks into the kitchen. Kadaj finally catches up to him after seeing that Cloud left his room.

"Oh no not at all. We're glad to see that you finally came down."

"So... What do you guys even do here anyway?"

Besides being Sephiroth's personal ass kissers...

"Oh it's pretty simple really. Loz is the master personal chef, preparing and cooking all of his meals. Kadaj has been assigned to cleaning and organizing all of the master belongings. And I, simply just stay in the background and watch to make sure these two don't screw things up." Yazoo explains. Loz and Kadaj gives him an 'oh, go fuck yourself' look because of what he just said.

"I see..."

"So! Is there anything we can do for you?" He asked.

"Well, I am a little hungry... But I can just make myself something-"

"You hear that my brothers? He's hungry! Start the fire, get out the sliver and turn on the timer." Yazoo says happily.

"Remember what the master said." Loz reminds him.

"Oh quiet Loz. I don't know about you but I'm not going to let Cloud die from starvation."

"Fine, I'll get him some cheese and crackers."

"Loz don't be rude. He is not a prisoner, he's our guest! The least we could do is to try to make him feel welcomed here. Follow me Cloud." Kadaj says.

"He's not a guest! He's the prisoner! And if the master finds out about this he'll definitely have our heads for it." Loz shouted feeling his irritation rising.

"Oh relax Loz, its just one dinner. And after all, what is a dinner without a little... music?~

"MUSIC?!" Loz shouted in surprise.

Cloud along with the Triplets walk into the dining room. He sits at the head of a large and long dining room table. After being seated Yazoo stands proudly and announced,

*Let's Sing!* (A/N: Again I'll be tweaking the lyrics.)

(Yazoo)
🎶Cloud Strife, it is with deepest pride and greatest pleasure that we welcome you tonight
And now we invite you to relax, let us pull up a chair
As the dining room proudly presents:
Your dinner.
