PROLUDGE

All four were there, on the last day. The youngest was leaving them and never coming back. The kid didn't belong but they loved her, or at least, the oldest did. She had asked them to chronicle the adventures. They did and handed it to the kid as they packed for the girl.

"Tell us the story, one more time, before you leave." The oldest asked the kid. The look he got was uncertain but the grin after was a sure fire yes.

Kisa stood alone, frowning as her father walked in.

"Ready to go" He asked, a shadow across his unreadable face.

"Yeah." She responded cooly, not paying attention to him. She was out on her balcony, watching the sunrise, he was about 30 yards back, next to her bedroom door. The began to rise quickly but not fast enough for her. The light covered her as her dark human eyes became an icey blue with a cat slit. She let out her long black hair from it's ponytail, and shook her head gently. It fell to her butt, nearly covering it.

"Kisa" A yell rank through the house. A male, young, called for her. She knew who, and smiled gently, walking off her balcony, and to her door. She rotted down-stairs. In the living room she saw her father sitting on his large blue recliner. Next to him was her older uncle, Cloud Strife. He saw her and gave a quick glare as he walked out of the room. He never liked her. After him was her younger uncle, Zidane. She never knew the last name of this uncle, He was quiet about his past.

Zidane grabbed her arm. "Let's go! Now, I'll be riding ahead, you and your dad will be behind me, and Cloud behind you. See ya, I'm leaving now" He grinned and walked out.

After he left, her smile faded. She looked toward her father and saw his glazed blue eyes. They were always glazed, ever since her mother died. To tell the truth, I never met her, Kisa thought frowing again. They all said she had her father's eyes but her mother's hair. She never could know, she never had the chance. She sat on the couch, sighing.

Her father looked up. His face now see able truely. She knew her father only by his name. Squall Leonheart, now by the name of Leon. She only knew him by stories for they never liked each other. He would never love me as a daughter, she thought, as he stood.

"Come on." He stood up, looking over at her very quickly, and then saw Cloud finally walk back in. He wasn't in a good mood, he never was.

Kisa smiled again, her thoughts wandering to the place she was going. Hell's Isle... home of the retired villians of the worlds.

Cloud looked to her"What are you smiling for" He asked with abrupt rudeness.

"Just thinking about living with my family's worst enemies. You know who I'm talking about." She chuckled and got up to get her shoes.

"Kisa! Don't you even speak of that! I swear" Leon looked at her with his mouth agast.

"Why! I'm living with YOUR worst enemy too" She yelled at him, her eyes narrowing. She watched him as he stormed from the room. Right after he left though, a hand struck her hard across the face. Se looked up to see Cloud, ready to hit her again.

"Don't you ever bring him up again. Your a Leonheart, start acting like one" He left the room after slapping her again.

She was left there to get ready, thinking about that name. Leonheart... How I hate that name, by which everyone says is a blessing. For I, it is a curse, not a blessing... She lost all right to that name on the day of her birth, when her mother died. They said I was a blessed child! Blessed for these loving men to care for me!

"Kisa! Let's go" Leon yell from outside, pulling Kisa from her thought.

"Coming" She pulled on her shoes, getting up and running outside. There stood her father and Cloud, chatting. All her things were on a chocobo, and there were 3 others as well for riding. She hopped on one, as her father hopped up on another.

Kisa sighed as they kicked off their chocobos, riding off away from the place she could never call home.

Sephiroth stood alone on his front driveway as Kuja came riding up. Sephiroth gave him a dark look as he approached. He knew other the other Heros were coming, they always stayed in packs.

"Hey Sephiroth..."Zidane said quietly, his eyes staring into Sephiroth's colder ones.

So, they choose now to arrive... Sephiroth smiled gently as Kuja came out, weapon drawn.

"So you little bastard, finally ready for my pay back" He threatened, staring down Zidane.

"Calm down, he's here on buisness." Sephiroth pointed to the blur of chocobos running toward them. He doesn't want his duty anymore...

-

Kisa's blue eyes opened and she saw it all. She must have fallen asleep while riding. She saw her father talking to a tall silver haired man; Sephiroth. He looked up at her, smiling.

"so, ya'll are taking her." Leon said, a buisness-like as he gave Kuja a bag. Then he came out; Seifer, the fallen knight.

"Yeah, but only for a year tops." He walked over to her, his blonde hair sweaty, obviously from working out. His eyes were the same ice blue as his but he had human eyes. "If you don't come back, I'll kill her and you." He said, not looking back as he reached out to grab her bags of her chocobo.

"Seifer" Leon yelled the warning.

"I won't touch her, too young for me." He said taking a bag, only to feel a quick slap to the face. "What the hell" He jumped back, letting go of the bag.

"Don't...touch...my...stuff..."Kisa said, sliding off her chocobo. Her cloak hid her from them, even her face was shadowed. She took all her bags, though they were quite heavy, and began to walk to the house. "Just show me where my room is." She ordered him, not looking at anyone.

"You can't order me around and shut up" Seifer yelled at her, giving her a slight shove.

Kisa dropped her things, turning her head to him, the hood falling from her head. "Why don't you make me" She asked, with her chilly blue eyes boring into his soul. black hair fall down.

The moment din't last long though as Sephiroth grabbed Kisa's arm. "Don't order us around." He wispered in her ear.

"Or you'll do what" She said, pulling from him.

"I'll-"

"Asshole" scream Zidane. Everyone looked at Kuja and Zidane, drawing their weapons. Not soon after, the brawl started, both going after each other. Kisa was watching them, emotionless, studying their moves. Suddenly, everyone was screaming and jumping, as a masamune slashed the two brawlers apart. Sephiroth as fuming.

"Rule one if you want to live here: Never brawl in my house, on my property, or in my presence. I don't like it when it's useless." He looked back at Kisa. " Rule two: Do not challenge my authority." He growled before walking into his house.
