Boom. The sound of distant thunder was heard as the rain continued to pour down heavily. Kadaj ran faster in attempt to get out of the poring storm, but all his running just got the poor remanent even more soaked. Kadaj just ignored how wet his body was getting and continued running, shouting, "Loz! Yazoo!" in attempt to find his brothers. The silver haired male coughed harshly and continued running. A few minutes passed by before he found an old shack. Kadaj didn't care who or what was residing in the shack at that moment, he took this chance to run inside the old building. Slamming the door shut behind him, Kadaj leaned against the door, panting heavily, in attempt to catch his breath. His leather suit had grown shiny from the rain and his hair was dripping with water. Kadaj coughed once more before standing up straight again, taking a minute to look around the room. There was a fireplace, where the wood still contained dying fumes, and a table in the middle of the room, with a large black case residing on top of it. Kadaj tilted his head in curiousity and made his way over to the table. He ran his wet gloved hand over the top of the case. He then popped the case open and gasped, inside the case was many materia of many different colors.

"Holy shit..." Kadaj whispered to himself before chuckling darkly.

He had found the materia. Kadaj picked up a pink materia. Laughing quietly to himself, he moved to place the materia in his arm, when out of nowhere he was tackled to the ground. He dropped the materia and watched roll across the room before looking up at his assaulter. She had short black hair and she was wearing a blue bandana. She was also wearing some sort of training uniform.

"Hey! That's my materia you're playing with, kid! How dare you mess with the great ninja Yuffie!" She glared down at Kadaj.

After a minute, she leaned her face down close to his to where their noses were almost touching.

"Hey... Wait a minute, I know you! You're that bratty little mama's boy Cloud was fighting with that one day!" Kadaj took offence to that comment and glared up at the ninja.

He scowled and kicked at her, knocking her off of him. He quickly sat up, unsheathing his Souba from its hilt, however, he had no chance to attack her as he was once again, tackled to the ground. Kadaj dropped his sword, coughing harshly. That tackle had knocked all the air out of him. He coughed once again, his vision growing blurry.

"Come on... It's no fun when you don't fight back!" Yuffie whined, crossing her arms over her chest.

Kadaj had no response to this and even if he did, he couldn't respond. His breath grew heavy and he coughed up blood before he passed out, his wet body growing limp.

"Oh, no! I killed him!" Yuffie gasped, staring down at the silver haired male.

Kadaj groaned lightly as Yuffie got off of him, and his body was shaking like a leaf.

"Hm?" Yuffie stared down at Kadaj for a long time before finally deciding what to do with him. She picked him up and threw him over her shoulder, surprised at how light he was.

"Stupid! You're all wet! No wonder you're sick!" Yuffie whined at him, carrying him up the stairs. When she got upstairs, she kicked open a door and laid Kadaj down on the bed. Yuffie sighed, staring down at the male.

"Now, what am I going to do with you?..."
