Cloud looks up once Sephiroth got up after saying something about food. That made his stomach growl since he did work up one. He nods "Yea very hungry.." chuckles gently looking back as he grabs the menu that was already there on the table. he brushes some of his hair out of his face and reads over the menu to think of what to eat. "Hmmm..." Cloud wonders alittle bit what Sephiroth was thinking but he didn't want to bring up more of the subject. "I'll have salad with the works with an chicken sandwich."

Sephiroth smiled a little bit when he heard the other male's stomach growl. He imagined that the other male was quite hungry considering that he had been training for so long especially considering as well that it was Cloud's first time training as well. Sephiroth knew that with practice and with time that the other male would become more resilient, and battle hardened as well. Sephiroth continued to walk towards where the other members were ordering their food. He shook his head a little bit trying to rid himself of the thoughts of what he had almost said to the blonde. There was no way that there could be anything more than camaraderie between the two of them.

Once he got his food and heads back toward the table they was sitting at. He sighs deeply to himself as he brushes some of his hair out of his face alittle. Cloud would began to eat as he was hungry like he said. He would eat a few bites before speaking after taking a sip of water "So what comes now after this? I guess we still will have alot more training before going on an mission right?" He figure he knew what would come since there was some days they wouldn't be able to go on misson but he was curious.

Sephiroth continued to wait for his food. He was then handed a tray that had everything that he had ordered. Once he had his food he walked back to the table where he listened to the other male talk about his training. He smiled and chuckled a little bit as he chewed his food thoughtfully. He was so glad that the other had been admitted to the SOLDIER program. When Cloud was done talking he swallowed and said,"Yes, but you won't be training with the other members. You will be training with Zack and I personally. We were going over your records, and Zack and I were pleased with your results in your preliminary testing." Sephiroth took another bite of food as he waited for this information to sink in for the blonde.

Cloud takes a sip of his drink while he takes all the information in. He was surpised to here that he never guess that both Sephiroth and Zack was pleased with his testing in the preliminary. Cloud was glad to hear that and nods "Oh wow thank you..it would be a honor to train with you two." As it was truthfully as he always wanted to train with them in some way and now that he would get that change he was speakless and happy at the same time. Finally his dream of becoming an SOLDIER was coming more real than a fantasy. Cause he really worked very hard to get to this point and finally having two people seeing how far he was willing to go to get to that point.

Sephiroth continued to eat quietly as he smiled when he heard the other male say that he was so grateful to be able to study directly under himself and Zack. He made a mental note to talk with Zack about making a training regiment for the blonde soon to be SOLDIER member. Glancing over at the clock he noticed that they had spent roughly over an hour at the dining hall. He knew that the two of them would need to get back to the training halls where the other trainees would be. "You will be training with the rest of the other recruits until next week. Zack and I need to discuss your new, private training regiment." Sephiroth stood up as he went and placed his dirty dishes and tray near the garbage cans that were there. Sephiroth walked towards the entrance to the dining hall as he waited for the other male.

Cloud silent ate the rest of his food as he figure it would be time to head back. Once he heard Sephiroth say that he nods his head and then watches him get up from the table. He follows Sephiroth's lead and finishes his drink before he got up from the table. he takes his tray and dump his trash into the can. Cloud place his hands into his pockets and heads toward the door after Sephiroth. He knew the others probbly would be kinda jealous alittle but he knew they should have tried harder. As while he walks out first of the dinning hall one of the trainees would be walking back to the training hall himself. And walk right into Cloud not by accident he just wanted to try start something not even knowing Sephiroth was with Cloud. The trainee would glare at Cloud before walking off. Cloud sighs deeply "I hope they don't give me grief that I did better than them." mumbles to himself.

Sephiroth continued to wait for the other male. Once Cloud was near him he began to walk. Glancing over he noticed that someone had run into Cloud. Turning he glared silently at the retreating form. He knew that it was no mere accident that the other had run into Cloud. He figured though that other trainees and other officers were bound to get jealous of the blonde haired recruit because he was receiving special treatment and training from both Sephiroth, the general, and Zack Fair, his second in command. There was bound to be some problems on the way, but hopefully the other would be strong enough to get through them. If not, though, Sephiroth and Zack, would be there to help him. Walking the rest of the way to the training field he stopped and turned to Cloud as he said,"Cloud as you are training with the other members people will hear of your special training with Zack and I." He paused trying to think of the right words to say. "Just don't bring yourself unneeded attention." He figured that the other male would know what he was talking about. Sephiroth meant that he didn't want the other to be bragging about his special treatment. He doubted that the other would do that, but he just wanted to make sure.

Cloud follows Sephiroth to the training hall as long the way at lease he wouldn't bragged about it cause it wasn't the type of person he was. He runs his hand thought his hair alittle before he stops once Sephiroth stop. Cloud looks up at him and listens as he nods "Yes sir...I'll make sure I won't..its not the type of person I am." says. He heads into the training hall first and heads over toward the others not saying a word about anything. He just wonder how many of the trainees had already heard about it but he wasn't about to ask cause that would bring more attention to himself. And he couldn't affort to get into any fights even he figure Sephiroth and Zack would help him out alittle.

Sephiroth smiled to himself when he heard the other male say that he wasn't that kind of person. He knew that the other would have said that from the start had he said what he had said earlier. As he scanned the room he noticed that there was a group of trainees already there. Glancing around the room he noticed that Zack was nowhere to be seen. Wondering briefly where the other one was he decided that he couldn't be solely focused on it because the new recruits had to do more training. Coming to a stop in front of the people that were there already he turned to them as he said," Earlier today you did a simulation test to assess your current abilities. Based on your abilities you have been placed into groups accordingly." Just as he was about to say more Zack came running into the room with a clipboard in hand."Sephiroth, I'm here. Sorry for being late,"said Zack as he handed Sephiroth the clipboard. "Better late than never," replied Sephiroth as he looked at the clipboard. "Alright when I call out your name after your team number please step over to the side." Sephiroth began calling out names and soon everyone was in groups.

Everyone would pay attention to him as others knew they probbly did poor and others hope they did good. So there was alot of mix feelings about where they would be put. Cloud watches Sephiroth speak to everyone while he looks around. He wonder to where Zack was until he saw him running in. He couldn't help to chuckle alittle as he figure Zack was caught up in something before coming here. Cloud looks over at the other trainees beside him as some would already figure where Cloud would end up. As he heard some of the trainees whispering only figure they was talking about him. since he heard one of them saying his name before they stop to listen to Sephiroth and wait to hear their names to be called out.

As Sephiroth continued to read the names off of the list. He glanced up once in a while to make sure that all of the trainees were heading to the right groups. "Cloud Strife," said Sephiroth. "Head over to Group G." He had another row of people to go through so he had Zack do the rest of them. Sephiroth watched as the other trainees were broken into the other groups. These would be the groups that they would stay in until the eventually became full SOLDIER members. They would live together, eat together, go on missions together, and learn to rely on one another.

Cloud watches as each trainee would be moved to their group. He runs his hand thru his hair while he wonders what would they do after they would be place in their group. Seeing half the day was gone and this group thing would take some time before everyone was place in their group. They would probbly be moved to a more better room probbly since most of the trainees and himself was all in an single room. Cloud figure that would happen let each member in the group to get to know the others and so on. But of course thats was for Sephiroth and Zack to decide. He looks up once he heard his name being called and he heads over to his group then.

As Zack continued to read off of the names he Sephiroth scanned the recruits that were standing in front of the pair. "Bunch of greenhorns," thought Sephiroth. "I give half of them a month before they leave or are kicked out." He knew that Zack would agree with him if he was told that, however, these thoughts would stay with Sephiroth. Once the recruits were all sorted he cleared his throat and said,"Now that you have all been sorted I want you all to get to know one another on your way out you will each be given a packet of paper. You will go off with your respective groups and fill out these papers as a team. You will bring them to training tomorrow. Dismissed." He watched as some of them grumbled and cursed when Zack handed them the packet of 10 or so pieces of paper. "Recruit Cloud Strife you are also need to stay here for further instructions, and you are also to report to the medical bay area when dismissed. I will be going with you there as well."

Cloud leans agaisnt the wall just waiting while he watches the others being sorted out. He probbly was thinking the same thing as Sephiroth. There was many that lack in skills he should know he had fought against some of them and some didn't have the passion to be a SOLDIER. He soon listens about the paper work figuring he knew he had to fill it out also. Cloud blinks seeing the pack that Zack was passing out to the others "Wow..thats alot of paper.." mumbles to himself. Then looking over at Sephiroth and nods "Yes sir" and knew that he was hurt...even thougt things in the simulator had limits doesn't mean that it didn't hurt anyone. He rubs his face having an small cut from it and he was abit hurt cause that fall was very real to him. The others would grumbled away with thier packets as they leave the training area evening Cloud behind since he was told to stay here.

Sephiroth watched with a sickening triumph as he saw all of the recruits, save for Cloud, leave the training room with their packets. The packets contained menial tasks for the others to complete ranging from questionnaires to what were their hobby sheets. They were introduced by President ShinRa as a way to get the SOLDIERS to get to know one another, to trust one another more so to say. As the last few of the recruits trickled out of the room he walked towards Cloud who was leaning against the wall. "Sorry," said Sephiroth. "I did not mean to single you out like that. I wanted to tell you that not only will you be doing basic training with the recruits during normal training hours, but you will also be meeting with Zack and I after dinner as well every other day to do your private training. I wasn't going to tell everyone in front of you since that would make people hate you." Zack came over with 3 more packets as he smiled at the other two males."Come on, we need to fill these out as well. It's only fair right?"Sephiroth looked at the other male and then broke into a smirk. "I suppose," replied Sephiroth as he took the packets from the other male. "Come let's go find another place that is more comfortable. We can go to the VIP lounge."

Cloud watches as he thought about the other recuits and give a guest that some of them wouldn't last a week before some would quit or be kicked out. He knew how all of the act and some of them also didn't like to much of each other. Cloud was glad he wasn't in any of their group. He would be in his own little world for an moment before he heard foot steps coming over to him. Turning his head over to Sephiroth and shakes his head "No its ok general. I'm praticely used it by now." chuckles alittle. he pushes himself off the wall and place his hands into his pocket. "And yea I know how some of them would act...." He looks over at Zack who was walking over with the packs and nods "Of course...got to do the same work as everyone else. I hope I don't have a hand cramp after filling out all those papers." chuckles gently and nods. Figuring the VIP lounge was big enought and comfortable to do the paper work.

Sephiroth walked out of the room along with Zack as he began heading towards the VIP lounge. As he walked down the hallway he saw Doctor Hojo heading in his direction. He never did like the man, even though he was his father. Sephiroth continued to walk passed the other man, but was stopped when the doctor placed his hand on his shoulder. "What?" yelled Sephiroth as he stopped."Temper temper,"replied Hojo."You are needed in the medical bay for you monthly tests. It would be wise not to doddle."Sephiroth gritted his teeth as he glared at the other male as he watched his retreating form go around the corner. "Zack, take Cloud to the lounge. I will meet you all there." With that being said Sephiroth turned around and walked down the hallway after Hojo.

Cloud follows both men to the VIP lounge when Hojo stop Sephiroth. He stops figuring Zack stop also while he watches what was going on between them. Clearly Sephiroth hated to do those tests and Cloud did feel sorry hoping what was the matter but he knew it was none of his busiess. He wanted to ask Zack but he figure he would say the same thing. He nods once Sephiroth told them to go ahead to the lounge. He turns and follows Zack "Hmm...Is he sick or something? I was just...uhh nevermind..I know I shouldn't have asked that." he soon thinks on something else then remember that little problem with one of the ex-trainees having Materia. "So did you find out how that ex-trainee got his hands on some materia? Since most of us can't used it yet during our training." asked. Cause it had been bothering him that someone was just handing out materia like that.

Zack turned to towards Cloud and smiled as he said"It's nothing for you to trouble yourself over. Not to be rude, but if Sephiroth wants to tell you then I believe that it should be him that tells you. It's just not my place you know."Zack could tell that the other was uncomfortable."Really there's nothing to be worried about."Zack clapped the other on the shoulder and the two of them continued on their way to the VIP lounge.

Meanwhile Sephiroth continued to follow Hojo to the medical bay. He wanted to get this over with as soon as possible, and then head back to the VIP lounge and spend the the rest of his time with the blonde and his raven haired friend. Hojo didn't say anything to him, but merely gestured to a stainless steel medical table. Sephiroth went over and sat on it as he stripped off his shoulder pads and cloak. Laying down on the table he let his mind go completely blank as he had always done before.

Cloud looks at Zack and sighs deeply as he nods figuring it was true if Sephiroth wanted to tell him he would. "Alright" he follows Zack to the VIP lounge. Once they was in the lounge and looks around alittle "Wow..nice.." says. He just hope Sephiroth would be here later once he was done maybe. "Lets sit over there next to the window I'm sure we need penty of light to fill out this stuff." chuckles gently. He walks over to the couch and sits down as he relaxes looking at the booket of paper. He knew what he was getting into when he signed up for SOLIDER..the training, the time and the paper work.

Zack went to go and sit down on a nearby couch where there were piles of pillows."The elites of Shinra really don't skimp on the costs of luxury," thought Zack as he grabbed a nearby pillow and fluffed it up a little bit. Once he was settled he looked at the packet at hand. Reading over the directions he let out a sigh. This was going to be a long rest of the day.

Meanwhile Sephiroth, who was still laying on the stainless steel table, let out a sharp cry of pain as he was pierced with yet another needle. No wonder he had a fear of needles, and Sephiroth usually didn't fear anything. He counted how many needles that had been pierced into his flesh as he let his eyes slide closed as he began thinking of being anywhere but here. This was, too, going to be a long rest of the day. He just hoped that he would have enough strength to be able to spend more time with the raven haired SOLDIER member, and especially the blonde.

Cloud looks at the first page which was nothing but reading the first around. He sighs deeply alittle "Well at lease its better than nothing mostly." chuckles. He runs his hand thought his hair alittle as he grabs the pen and fills out the personal stuff like his name and etc. "I just wonder how the others are doing...I mean they are good guys at lease some of them are but it is going to be a test altogether to see how they handle each other." Cloud looks at Zack "It was a different back at the academy but I know this is very different than the academy. And well most of them are good but I don't think they are that great mostly. Since some of them had to redo the test a few times before passing." He takes an look around just to see if Sephiroth would be walking but figure those tests or whatever they was doing probbly going to last long. He just worried he wouldn't feel up to it once it was over.

Apparently sometime during the middle of the tests and medical procedures he had passed out because he woke up in a bed in a white washed room. Closing his eyes tightly closed as the blinding lights bouncing off of the white walls hit him. "Argh," he cried out as he blinked a few times to rid him of the stars that he was seeing behind his eyes. Once his eyes had adjusted he looked around to assess where he was. He was still in the medical bay, but the actual infirmary side of it. The tests must be done. Moving his arms and legs he could feel that they were sore. Training was going to suck later that evening. Maybe he would just have Zack and Cloud spar with one another. Getting off of the bed he let his feet slide to the cool tiled floor as he scanned the area for his shoulder padded coat and black leather boots. Finding them folded in a nearby corner he made his way over as he began to get dressed again. Turning around to make sure that he wasn't leaving anything behind he left through the doors that he had originally entered from as he made his way towards the VIP lounge where Zack and Cloud were.

Zack was frustrated. Zack was very frustrated. What was the point of these stupid surveys anyway? Did President ShinRa have nothing better to do with his time other than to go over 100's of the same questions over and over again? What was the other trying to prove? Glancing at the survey in front of him he scanned the questions. They ranged from what do you like to do in your free time, to your sleeping styles, and eating habits." Cloud," he called. "How are you doing on your questions? Are you to the questionnaire part where you are supposed to ask questions to the other members of your team yet?"

Cloud looks at the questions and yawns alittle abit. he twists his pen into his hair alittle as it got him frustrated himself and kinda bored. He hated this very much it almost made him remind him why he didn't like to do this kind of thing back in the academy. It was basicly almost the same stuff and part of him just wanted to mark down anything. Like some of the guys that already got kicked down. But he wasn't like that cause then it would just be a lie and not right also to do so. So he just continues to give his answers truthfully. He sighs deeply and yawns alittle as he didn't even relized that he just not got his pen caught in his hair.

He winces alittle as he pulls on his pin before hearing Zack looking over at him. "Uhh yea I'm at that part already I was just waiting for you to get there.." chuckles abit and sighs then says "Now if I only can get this pen out of my hair." with another pull he finally got his pen out of his hair before he sits up. He stretches alittle "Can we take a break before we get to that? My hand needs an break and so does my eyes. Beside I think we should wait until Sephiroth gets here to do this part. Don't you think?" says looking at him after he puts his pin down and stretches.
