A/N: Hey Everyone! A new story here. I know the title is the President's Daughter, but its'a about Rufus Shinra's daughter, and in the story Rufus is the President. I didn't want use the President because that would be annoying. Anyway, i hope you enjoy this.
Disclaimer: I don't own Crisis Core, that belongs to Square Enix, but i do own the plot line and Kaci Shinra.
Kaci Shinra looked down at the city made of metal, from her perch, and then back to the grey cloud dotted sky.
Now you must understand that the world Kaci lived on is nothing like the one you or I do. As a matter of fact, the planet was entirely different as well. Kaci lived on Gaia, a planet known for its energy source called the Life Stream. They say that the planet's energy was stored in its large core called Meecah, and that the energy was placed in the plants the planet grew. When the planet was first created plants grew freely from the ground, but when humans discovered the planet's energy source; they desired it for themselves. A man named Rufus Shinra and his team of researchers discovered a way to harness this energy and use it for their needs. He founded the Shinra Electric Power Company. The company provided energy for the rest of the planet as well. The energy was used in a form called Mako.
A great city formed around his energy study, a city known as Midgar. The city is characterized by the large industrial part known as Midgar, and the poorer part was known as the Slums, while the residential area is called the Sector 6. The city is also known for being made out of metal giving it a grey steely color to it.
Now, Midgar is not the only inhabited place on the planet, but it is the largest. There are other small clans of people who live away from Midgar, although most of them depend on Mako. A few of the cities did not depend on the energy source, and that upset the company very much.
Good work, Kaci thought. You may be wondering where our heroine will come into this story. Well, she is the daughter of Rufus Shinra, the most powerful man in the planet. Kaci didn't always agree with what her father did, especially when it came to other clans on the planet, but she went along with most of what he had for her.
One of the things she did agree with was the making of SOLDIER. SOLDIER was the protection agency that guarded Midgar, and anything else they needed to keep safe. SOLDIER was a group of highly trained members who were basically Midgar's army. Kaci's father had always designed to have any of his children in SOLDIER, but when only given a girl, she was almost not allowed in. But when Kaci was old enough to train she began immediately.
Kaci was now an 2nd Class SOLDIER, working her way up from a 3rd Class, and trying to make it to an 1st Class. Kaci was the only girl in SOLDIER, and that didn't bother her much. She had friends but they were all in 1st Class now. Although their ranks changed her friendship with the three did not.
Kaci looked down at the uniform for the 2nd Class; it was a sleeveless dark grey shirt with straps crossed across the chest, and black pants with combat boots. The 1st Class got to choose their own variation of the uniform and her friends all had different ones. Angeal kept the normal uniform, Sephiroth had used a black long coat with silver shoulder pads, and Genesis used a red jacket over the uniform.
Kaci heard the door open behind her and turned to the door that opened to the roof where she sat, Angeal stood there with his arms crossed over his chest, "I thought I might find you out here."
"Oh and why is that?"
"Because I'm your mentor Kaci, and believe me I know all the places you like to go and sit."
Kaci chuckled, "Well in that case, I think we'd play a lousy game of hide-and-seek."
Angeal nodded, "Come on, Director Lazard wants to see us."
Kaci got up and followed Angeal to the director's briefing room. The director was a middle-aged man with dark blonde hair and dark green eyes. He would watch someone closely, through narrowed eyes, when they entered a room as he did when the two SOLDIERS entered.
"The other two are late," he said sitting back in a chair his gaze changing.
"Hmm, figures why Genesis would be late," Kaci scoffed. Angeal sent her a warning look to which she made no response. Kaci would pick on Genesis because the male would do it to her. He was opposed to the female joining of SOLDIER in the first place, but when she did join Genesis constantly called her weaker, and the "little one." Kaci responded by attacking Genesis with sly verbal comebacks when she could, and otherwise ignoring it seeing as her mentor would usually lecture the red leather wearing SOLDIER.
Sephiroth arrived only moments after them. His incredibly long silver hair resting against his back when he stopped, "I apologize for being late, I was held up in a meeting."
"Funny there wasn't anything scheduled for you to be in right now," the director told Sephiroth suspiciously.
"It was unscheduled," Sephiroth responded before leaning back against the wall.
"Well, all we're missing is Genesis," at that moment the red head decided to enter the room.
"Where were you?" Sephiroth asked.
"I had paper work to do and my stupid secretary forgot to mention it until now," he sighed.
"Oh yeah sure blame it on the secretary," Kaci muttered.
"Kaci," Angeal reprimanded the girl to which she replied shrugging.
"Well now that you're all here we can begin the briefing," the SOLDIER members all became focused on the director as he talked; "we have word that the Wutai have had talk of a riot, and we would like to send the four of you there. As you know the Wutai have refused a Mako processor, but they are beginning to stir up doing something about it. The riots won't give a very positive effect in our effort to give them a processor, so we would require you to calm them down. Any questions? Dismissed."
The four SOLDIERS left the briefing room and walked to the lounge where they usually discussed missions before heading out on them, "I don't see why they don't send of bunch of troops out instead of SOLDIER members," Genesis complained sitting on the couch.
"Of course we wouldn't want you to get you hair messed up would we?" Kaci asked him smugly.
"You little brat!" Genesis told her.
"Genesis." Sephiroth's voice rang over the other, "Kaci what are your thoughts on the mission?" the silver haired 1st Class turned to her.
"I think if the Wutais want not to have a Mako processor that's their own choice, and we can't decide it for them. Besides riots would only prove my point," she shrugged leaning back into the couch.
"You are a child, thinking things like that," Genesis told her getting revenge for her earlier comment.
"Who are you calling a child?! You're the one who-!"
"Kaci." Angeal quieted the blonde before she could say anything else. "If you want to have honor you can't have a temper like that. The honor of a SOLDIER is much more important than any squabblings you two have," he lectured her.
The dirty blonde nodded slightly before casting a look to the wall, while her mentor lectured Genesis. Kaci went over herself in her mind, she was 5'4", had dirty blonde hair, and greenish-blue eyes. When she heard Angeal stop talking Kaci stood up and walked out of the room and over to the elevators.
The SOLDIER building was about 70 floors high, complete with a science floor, infirmary floor, weapons floor, and a floor dedicated to Materia. Materia is Mako when it was condensed; Materia was used for fighting and for healing wounds. Kaci had lighting Materia placed her body along with Mako when she joined SOLDIER. The Materia allowed her to use lighting in her fights.
The elevator stopped and Kaci looked up, the 70th floor, she thought. This floor was where the President resided, aka her father.
"Good morning Miss Kaci," the secretary said when she walked into her father's office.
"Hello. Is the President in?"
"Mhmm, just go on in," Kaci nodded and knocked on the door before entering the room.
The man at the desk looked up and his eyes met her, "Hello Kaci," her father smiled. Her Father was tall and had blonde hair much like hers, it hung straight almost in his eyes, although his light blue eyes were seen. He wore a white trench coat with a white, off white, suit underneath.
"Hello. I'm going on a mission in an hour."
"Yes I know. Why did you come up here?" his voice was smooth and would've made any women swoon, but Kaci was too used to it to be affected by his voice.
"To ask you to leave Wutai alone. They have already expressed that they don't want a Mako,-"
"Kaci. Your opinion has little bearing on what I do. So I suggest that you leave and return to you whatever you need to do to get ready," his voice had changed from smooth, to cruel and hard. The one Kaci had known for a long time.
She nodded her head and left the office and quickly returned to the floor where the 2nd Class dorms were held. She entered the dorm and sat against the door for a moment.
The 2nd Class dorms held a couch, coffee table and two chairs in the corner and beyond that a bed and nightstand and a closet with sliding doors. The 1st Class rooms had the same things along with a small balcony and small kitchen. The 1st Class housing floor didn't have as many dorms because not as many people made it up to 1st Class, so the dorms were larger. Actually not only dorms were on that floor but a separate lounge and a few offices as well. The other housing floor held the 3rd Class and 2nd Class dorms. The SOLDIER floor contained the briefing room, lounge, cafeteria, and training facilities.
Kaci stood up and began sharpening her sword that had been propped up along the wall. "Come in," she replied to the knock. Angeal stepped into the room and walked over to the bed where she sat.
"Where'd you go?" he asked her.
Kaci scoffed, "I thought you knew everywhere I go."
"Kaci," Angeal said showing that he wasn't in a mood for playing games.
"I just walked around for a bit," she lied.
"A walk wouldn't make you so mad," he looked down at her hands and her gaze dropped there too. The sharpening stone had a dent in it and her sword was razor sharp. Kaci sighed and threw the stone falling back on her bed.
"He's a stubborn idiot," she said.
"Your father?" Angeal asked.
"Yes."
"Kaci that's not exactly the best thing to say about your parent," Angeal told her.
"Well it's true!" Kaci sat up abruptly and then sighed, "Come on we have a mission to go on," she sheathed her sword on her back and then walked out of the room Angeal following her.
When they went out to the helicopter landing pad Genesis and Sephiroth were already waiting for them, "Took you long enough," Genesis said smugly.
"Shut up," Kaci growled. Genesis chuckled and got on the helicopter with the others following. They were all in for a long ride to Wutai.
When the four of them arrived they were surprised at how peaceful the village looked, "I thought he said it was full of riots," Genesis mused.
"He did," Sephiroth clarified.
"Well since there isn't anything we obviously have to do we should go!" Kaci said and put a foot on the chopper to pull herself up before Angeal grabbed her and pulled her back down.
"We have a mission and we should fulfill it," he told her sternly.
Kaci muttered something along to the lines of, "They have rights why are we here?"
The four SOLDIERS walked through the town until they heard what sounded like shouting. They quickly ran along the streets until they came to a very official looking building where guards were pushing yelling people back off the steps. Kaci took advantage of the situation by gather up Materia in her body and pushing a lighting crack from her hands. The people all turned at the sound and saw the four SOLDIERS stand there. The four took a few steps before they were bombarded with yelling people.
"Leave us alone!"
"We don't want you here!"
"Shinra brainwashes its condensers!" were a few of the things shouted at them.
After some work the four members made their way to the hall. Inside the SOLDIER saw guards positioned at the doors and hallways and other officials looking rather busy. That was until a brunette walked up to them, "You four wouldn't perhaps be the SOLDIER, Shinra sent would you?" she asked almost hopefully.
"Yes we are," Sephiroth answered. The woman led them upstairs to an office and let them inside, "Mr. Takoi will see you now," she said before leaving. Kaci looked toward the desk and was surprised by the leader of Wutai. He was a rather large man with receding black hair and dark black eyes his mouth was pressed into a firm line and he seemed rather upset by something.
"Well the SOLDIERS are here, Shinra's errand runners," he said mockingly. All the SOLDIERS were partially offended by this but remained silenced.
"Sir, we are here to stop the riots, is there any information you could give us to help us with this?" Angeal asked.
"Yes, don't do anything. I don't want the riots stopped, I don't care what Shinra told you, but nothing is to be done," his gaze fell on the blonde, "You look oddly familiar," he seemed to ponder this for a moment, "I know you're that tyrant's daughter." Kaci was offended and angered by this man calling her Father that, although she hadn't exactly had the best opinion of her own Father, she still didn't like this man saying it.
"I am Rufus Shinra's daughter, yes." She took a step out from behind Angeal.
"Ah not admitting what you old man really is eh?" Mr. Takoi smirked.
"I admit I don't always agree with what he does, but I wouldn't call him a tyrant."
"Hmmp. A very opinionated girl you are, I like that. Tell me Miss Shinra, what do you think about his giving us a Mako processor?"
"My answer is of little significance to the matter at hand," Kaci said not wanting to get in any trouble.
"Ha! So he's brainwashed his own daughter too? Tell me what you think?" he smiled and leaned over the desk waiting for an answer.
"I don't believe that he should keep pestering you after you've already told him your answer." Kaci said after thinking it over for a fair amount of time.
Kaci stood in the briefing room with the others while the Director chewed her out, "How could you do this?! Do you know what this will do to the negotiations?!"
"He wasn't going to stand for what I had already said!" Kaci responded back.
"You could've lied!" he looked at her desperately although nothing was going to change now.
"In all defense, Kaci isn't the best liar," Genesis smirked.
"Shut it, Rhapsodos!" Kaci yelled back at him before turning and quickly leaving the briefing room.
Director Lazard sighed, "That girl is going to kill her Father's company."
