This story is a direct continuation from chapter 26 of MEMOS. If you haven't read that then I suggest that you read it first so you aren't confused.

Angeal was chuckling at something Genesis said when he heard the footsteps. They were filled with force and he could almost feel the anger radiating from the oncoming SOLDIER. He and Genesis exchanged looks as Ninniachel, or Nia as her friends called her, reached them.

Her green eyes narrowed and through clenched teeth she ground out, "Where the hell is the puppy Angeal?"

Angeal forced his face into a blank mask before calmly replying, "As I recalled there were several puppies to be found near the stables. Rather cute too."

Ninniachel rolled her eyes. "Don't play dumb with me Angeal! Where the hell is that bastard of a SOLDIER? Zack Fair?"

Before Angeal could give yet another ambiguous response Genesis cleared his throat and said stiffly, "Go take your business elsewhere. Angeal and I were in the middle of a conversation before you rudely interrupted us."

Nia shrugged, turned and took a few steps before pausing to say, "Well if you see the little puppy let him know he's sadly mistaken if he thinks he can get away with neglecting..." She stopped abruptly and stomped off.

Genesis let out an aggravated huff.

"Who does that wench think she is? Coming up to us and demanding answers to her pathetic questions?" He frowned deeply. "And why must she always act so harshly to Fair? Perhaps I could use the information against her…"

Angeal rolled his eyes and shrugged saying, "Who knows? I am not sure I even want the answer to that one." The two men turned and left not noticing that the large bundle on the floor trembled in relief and a young man crawled out of it.

Zack shoved the bag he had been hiding in aside and thanked kami that he had managed to avoid the commander. He was still fulfilling his punishment of taking care of Bob, the commander's pet. Zack snorted. Pets were supposed to be cute and fun to be with. Bob was the exact opposite. Ninniachel had to be crazy if she thought he was going to subject himself to more torture from that sadistic beast.

Zack leaned back against the wall and closed his eyes. A soft smile appeared on his mouth as he thought of the commander…of Ninniachel. She was beautiful…well she would be if she didn't glare so much. Her green eyes always held so much anger it was hard to imagine her with a happy expression. But Zack had seen just how beautiful the commander could be a few years earlier when he first joined Soldier….

Flashback

"…and this is where you'll be staying. Training starts tomorrow morning make sure you're there on time."

The 16-year-old Zack Fair nodded eagerly at his guide.

"Don't worry sir, I'll be there!"

The guide rolled his eyes and muttered something about fresh blood before ambling out of the barracks. Zack quickly put his things away and glanced at his cell phone. He had several hours of free time so he decided to go into the nearby town to check out the local girls. Now that he was in SOLDIER girls were bound to be looking.

_________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________

Zack walked out of the shop and sighed. Four hours had flown by and he was ready to head back to the training camp. Walking briskly he turned a corner and felt himself collide with someone. The pair went down with an oof and Zack felt the air squeeze out of his lungs as the other person landed on top of him. The young man blinked and found himself staring into a pair of scowling green eyes.

The person scrambled off of him and he saw that it was girl. She glared down at him and snapped, "What the hell is your problem? Watch where you're going!" she stepped over Zack and stomped off into a shop across the street. Zack rolled his eyes and stood. It wasn't like he planned to crash into her. Dusting himself off he noticed a small package near his feet. Great. The beast girl had probably dropped it. Annoyed he picked it up and started walking towards the shop. Lucky for her that he was a nice guy. Any other person would have just taken off with it.

He opened the shop door and frowned. The shop was devoid of life. Zack turned to go, he had probably walked into the wro---

His thought process was interrupted by a loud yelp. He whipped around just in time to see the girl go flying into a nearby display case. She slid to the floor and groaned in pain as the shop owner came into view. He was a giant burly man and in his hands he held a large stick. He didn't notice Zack as he positioned himself in front of the downed female. Raising his weapon he swung down sharply only to find himself being tackled by Zack.

The shop owner shouted in surprise and fell over. Zack took the weapon from him and hit him hard across the head. Satisfied that the man was knocked out he stood and turned to go to the girl only to find her sitting on the counter glaring at him. A bruise was forming on her neck and a tiny cut bled just beneath her eye. Her dark hair, which had been pulled up, was now waving wildly about her face and those brilliant green eyes held a hint of pain and embarrassment. Her clothing was torn in several places but despite her state of disrepair she was gorgeous.

She raised an eyebrow at his obvious appraisal and said coolly, " I don't know who you think you are but I didn't need any help."

Zack sighed. She was one of those. He walked over to where he had placed he package and picked it up. "Look lady, I just came here to give you this and it looked like you needed a hand. But now that I know better I'll just step aside and allow you to be bludgeoned next time. Here." He was now in front of her and shoved the package at her.

She blinked in surprise and took it from him. Sliding off the counter she winced slightly and placed the package on the knocked out shop owner. Walking around the counter she said stiffly, "I guess I owe you thanks…Thanks." She held his gaze for a minute before disappearing into a back room.

This was Zack's cue to depart but he didn't. She may have been a bitch but there was no way he was going to leave an injured girl by herself. So he stood quietly until she reappeared again struggling with a large chest. She noticed him and nearly dropped it. Zack was immediately by her side pulling the thing away from her. She didn't fight him but the look on her face was clear enough for him to know how she felt.

"What the hell is wrong with you? Why didn't you leave?" she crossed her arms and frowned up at him.

Setting the chest onto the counter Zack replied simply, "Cuz I'm not that type of guy. I'm Zack by the way." He held out his hand.

She stared at it for a moment before grasping it with her own. "I'm Ni—WATCH OUT!!!!" she yanked Zack forward just as the shop owner's stick came crashing down in the spot he had been standing. Zack's eyes widened at the small hole that formed where he had been standing. What the hell kind of shop was this?

The shop owner glared at them and snapped, "The deal's off little girl, you think you can ste---!" The girl produced a rather large dagger and began to toy with it idly, effectly cutting off the man's rant.

"My orders were very clear Shop Keeper, complete the transaction, and if there was any difficulty eliminate it. Are we having a difficulty?" The girl's voice was cold and she twirled the dagger, prepared to attack again.

The shop owner growled but took a step back. The girl relaxed and nodded to Zack. "Come on let's get out of here." Zack grabbed the chest and followed her out of the building not sure he wanted to know what that was about. They walked in silence for a few minutes before Zack stopped walking and blurted out, "Who the heck are you? What was that all about?!"

The girl stopped and stretched her arms up before replying, "Oh right, that idiot interrupted us…I'm Ninniachel a 2nd class SOLDIER. I was doing my first solo mission…" She smiled at him and the difference that small gesture made to her features caused Zack's heart to skip.

Then the weight of her words hit him. A female 2nd Class SOLDIER? His expression must have shown his thoughts because Ninniachel frowned and snapped, "Don't look so shocked, I worked my ass off to be in SOLDIER."

"But you're a GIRL."

Ninniachel's mouth fell open and she looked down at herself in shock. "What I'm a girl?! Oh my god you're right? Who made that mistake?" Reaching out she grabbed the chest from Zack and took it from him. "Thanks Zack but this is where we part ways. See ya."

End Flashback

Zack smiled as he remembered how Ninniachel had limped off with the chest. She was so stubborn. His smile deepened when he remembered the look on her face when he had shown up for training the next morning and she realized that he was also a SOLDIER. His smile turned into a frown. After that first day though she had treated him like a plague…

"Having fun Zack?"

Zack's eyes popped open and he started in horror at the commander as she crouched before him an amiable expression on her face. Damn it he'd been found.

In a pleasant tone Ninniachel asked, "Have you forgotten something Zack?"

"F-forgotten something? No I haven't forgotten anything." Zack gulped nervously and tried to smile.

Ninniachel closed her eyes and took a deep breath. She opened her eyes and smiled before reaching over and grabbing his ear. Yanking him up she snapped, "Funny because Bob hasn't forgotten about you! You haven't gone in three days to feed him Zack! Are you trying to kill him? Because if you are you're doing a damn good job at it!"

Zack winced and said incredulously, "Kill him?! He's trying to kill me! Look!" He pulled up his sleeve to reveal the bandage around his arm. Ninniachel released his ear and grabbed his arm. Swiftly she pulled the bandage off and hissed softly when she saw the wound. It was an angry red color and some blood was seeping out.

"Zack! This is bad…why haven't you gone to the infirmary?" Ninniachel began to gently rewrap the wound.

Zack frowned and replied, "I haven't gone because what was I supposed to say when they asked what happened to my arm?"

Ninniachel finished and placed her hands on her hips. "Look Zack, you should have come to me if Bob bit you! I may be little harsh but that doesn't mean I'm cruel."

"A LITTLE harsh? A Little?! Since the day we met you've been out to get me! I know I can be annoying but hell, I don't think I've ever done anything to warrant all this unnecessary anger!" The words, livid and sharp fell from Zack's mouth before he could stop them.

_________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________

Ninniachel stared up at Zack in surprise. "Zack," her hand reached up involuntarily to touch him. However Zack took a step back and muttered, "Sorry…I…I'll go take care of Bob after I get a new bandage." Zack turned and in a few seconds was gone from sight. Ninniachel closed her eyes and pressed a hand against her mouth.

Never before had Zack ever raised his voice to her…Since the day she met him Zack had been the epitome of kindness and stupidty. Ninniachel brought to mind an image of Zack's smile. There was no denying it. Next to Sephiroth, Zack was one of the most handsome men she knew. Despite everything it was his smile that Ninniachel looked forward to each day. That stupid, sexy, care---

"Commander Ninniachel…?" The young voice broke Ninniachel out of her reverie and she snapped her eyes open. A young Cadet stood before her nervously clutching a white paper in his hands.

Struggling not to snap at him, Ninniachel managed to ask in a pleasant tone, "Can I do something for you Cadet?"

The Cadet's voice squeaked when he spoke, " Erm…I was instructed to deliver this paper to you…" He shoved the paper at her clearly anxious to be gone. Ninniachel frowned at this attitude and took the paper from his trembling fingers. As The Cadet turned to flee Ninniachel snapped, "Not so fast Cadet, I may need you to take a reply to whomever sent this missive."

The Cadet stifled a moan. He hadn't meant to read the memo but now that he had, he feared that the commander's legendary anger would be turned on him. He bowed his head and twitched, ready to escape at a moments notice. The notice came too late. One moment Ninniachel was reading the memo softly to herself the next minute she was yelling, " SUSPENDED?! FOR UNETHICAL PUNISHMENTS? THAT BASTARD!"

The Cadet turned to run but it was too late. With a wordless roar the commander materialized her weapon, a giant scythe, and slammed the staff part of it into the Cadets body. He cried out in pain and slammed into the wall. Sliding to the floor tears of pain dribbled down his face and the commander advanced towards him. Placing the blade of the scythe against his neck she pressed down hard. As blood began to flow she hissed, "Tell the President that I received the memo and that I will be meeting with him later to discuss this…if I were to go now…an unfortunate accident may occur. YOU GOT THAT CADET?" The sudden rise in the commander's voice caused the cadet to whimper pitifully and nod.

The scythe slid away from the cadet's throat with barely a whisper and when he lifted his head the commander was gone.

_________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________

Sephiroth was calmly eating his food in the mess hall when he heard the screams. He started slightly and glanced at the door just in time to see a 3rd class SOLDIER rushing in. the SOLDIER's eyes latched on him and he immediately rushed forward, ignoring the questions of the others in the room.

Reaching Sephiroth he saluted quickly and said, "General, we have a problem."

Sephiroth pushed his chair back and stood. "What's going on SOLDIER?"

The SOLDIER shifted nervously before blurting, "It's the Commander sir, Nin---"

Before he could finish saying her name the front door of the mess hall burst open and Ninniachel stood in its entrance. She held her scythe in her left hand and everyone could see the blood dripping down the blade. Sephiroth immediately pulled Masamune out. Ninniachel looked at him then and rolled her eyes.

"Everyone out NOW." Ninniachel's voice was harsh and within a few minutes the building was empty.

Sephiroth sheathed Masamune and crossed his arms. "What the hell is going on Ninniachel?" in response the female did something that no one would have expected. She lowered her head and the tears began to flow.

_________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________

"Cloooooooooood-kuuuuun!!! Over here!" The high-pitched female voice rang out and from a distance Cloud could see Anemone waving her arms at him. Cloud struggled not to scream and run in the opposite direction. The girl was convinced that Cloud was her soul mate and would stop at nothing to have him. Sure enough when he reached her, Anemone immediately latched onto him and cooed, "Cloud-kun It's so nice to see you again."

Cloud found himself being pulled towards her and to his horror found her lips zooming in towards his face. To his relief the girl was smacked away by a scowling Masosuki. Cloud's relief was short lived when Masosuki grabbed him and pulled him close snapping at the other girl, "Keep you're grimy hands to yourself, Cloud is MINE."

Turning red with outrage Anemone snarled, "You liar! For your information Cloud promised himself to me! Just minutes ago! Go ahead, tell her Cloud!"

Cloud extracted himself from Masosuki's too tight hold and held up his hands in an attempt to calm them. "Now ladies as you both know I find both of you to be ve—" the two girls leaping for each other cut off his speech.

"You little Hussy! When my cousins finds out about this I'll have her kill you!" kick

"Oh yeah…" smacks " Well when my sister finds out about this she's get all holy on your ass!"

The battle continued and Cloud wisely backed away from the catfight. There was no way in hell that he was going to try and break that up. Besides, this would provide him with the opportunity to think. Reaching into his pocket he pulled out a white paper and unfolded a copy of the memo he had sent to Rufus Shinra. It read as follows:

Shinra Electric Power Company

Memo

To: Rufus Shinra

From:

CC:

Date: 12/13/2008

Re: Serious Matters

The commander, Ninniachel, has gone to extreme measures to make sure her subordinates are in line. I believe she has fallen from the path of good and onto the path of cannibalism.

Cloud sighed as he reread it. He hadn't wanted to send it. He rather liked the commander and her tough ways. However biting Zack as a form of punishment was too strange and unnatural for him to just stand by and not do anything. After all if he didn't report this now she was bound to go around hurting others. Yes, he had done the right thing by reporting this incident. Cloud pocketed the memo once more and then sat down to wait out the results of the ensuing mêlée.

_________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________

Almost as soon as the tears started they ended. Ninniachel took a deep breath and muttered, "Sorry…my emotions seem to have a mind of their own…"

Sephiroth shrugged before replying, "You didn't kill anyone did you?" he stared pointedly at the bloodied tip of her scythe.

"What? Oh," she paused to put her weapon away before continuing, "No I didn't kill anyone. They just got in my way…." Ninniachel reached into a hidden pocket and pulled out the memo. With a resigned sigh she handed the piece of paper to Sephiroth.

He read the paper quickly. "Suspended?" Sephiroth's voice was as calm as ever but Ninniachel noticed the edge of his mouth twitch.

Ninniachel snatched the paper from his hands and shoved it back into her pocket. "This isn't funny Sephiroth! This is a very serious matter."

Sephiroth nodded gravelly and said, "Of course…I couldn't help but think it was amusing that the high and mighty Ninniachel was suspended for unethical punishments. Who was the last person that you punished? This could be some form of revenge."

Ninniachel crossed her arms and replied gloomily, "Cloud and Zack. Cloud is escorting my cousin and Aerith's sister while they're here in town and the puppy is taking care of Bob."

Sephiroth's mouth fell open. "You put FAIR in charge of Bob? Isn't Bob the embodiment of all evil?"

Ninniachel rolled her eyes and snapped, "Bob is hardly evil! But…he did bite Zack."

Sephiroth smiled complacently and folded his arms across his chest. "Well then there you go. Fair must have sent the memo as a way of crying out for help."

A frown creased Ninniachel's forehead as she contemplated Sephiroth's theory. It was plausible but…in all honesty Zack was too much of an idiot to do such a thing. No…whoever sent this memo was smart to some degree but obviously too stupid to realize they had messed with the wrong Commander. Genesis? No, Genesis wouldn't use this method. He was more the public humiliation type. No whoever sent this had a Hero complex…and Ninniachel knew only one person who was like that. Cloud Strife.

"No Sephiroth…Zack didn't do this…I think I know who did but before I go after them I need to go check on Bob. Poor thing must be wondering where I am."

Ninniachel patted Sephiroth's arm lightly before departing. As Sephiroth watched her figure disappear he muttered, "Poor thing indeed…"

_________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________

Stepping into the barn Zack breathed in deeply the scent of fresh hay. It was quiet and from the sun peeking in through the gaps in the wood it seemed peaceful. Seemed being the operative word. Warily he moved forward said softly, "Come on out Bob…Uncle Zack is here to feed you…"

A huff to Zack's left alerted the SOLDIER to the position of the beast. Tensing he turned to face him and to Zack shivered involuntarily as his gaze met that of Bob. Bob's black and white coat was gleaming, his dark eyes burned with an intelligence that was alien and his mouth area was dripping blood. Clutched in between his uncommonly sharp teeth was a large raw steak.

Zack wrinkled his nose in disgust and snapped, "Ugh, you are a cannibal!" Zack's words seemed to fall on deaf ears because Bob merely turned his back on the SOLDIER and continued to chew on the meat.

Zack shook his head and turned to leave. Apparently the Commander had someone else feeding the beast now.

"Going somewhere Zack?"

Zack whipped around and found the Commander sitting on a bale of hay watching him with an amused smile. Ninniachel had changed in the hour since he had seen her. The commander's standard 1st Class uniform had been replaced with an old frock and her thick hair had been pulled back into a loose bun. She may have been smiling but her green eyes held a foreign expression that made Zack nervous.

He shifted uncomfortably before replying, " Uh well…. The Be—I mean Bob has already been fed so there's no point in me staying…. I'm, uh, going to go…. bother Cloud or something." Zack turned and began to walk away quickly.

Ninniachel was almost immediately by him, stopping his getaway with a hand on his uninjured arm. "Zack…" Her voice trailed and Zack found himself being turned to face her. Ninniachel pointedly ignored his gaze and unconsciously slid her hands to his chest and gripped the fabric found there tightly.

"C-Commander? Did you need something?" Zack struggled to get the words out in a normal tone. Ninniachel was acting very strange and if something was wrong he'd rather be, at the minimum, 20 feet away. She had the tendency to overreact.

Ninniachel let go of his shirt and took half a step back. She was silent for a moment before stating solemnly, "I want to apologize to you Zack. I know that Bob has a difficult personality and I feel as though I didn't prepare you enough for this assignment." She paused to take a breath before continuing in a low voice, "I'd also like to apologize for the way I've treated you."

There was another pause and Zack felt his eyes bug out when Ninniachel suddenly bowed before him. "Can you forgive me Zack?"

Zack's mouth dropped open and for a moment all he could do was stare at her in a dumb stupor. Never before had anyone bowed before him in forgiveness…it was usually the other way around. To see Ninniachel, one of the proudest people he knew, prostrated before him in such away was nearly too much. If he hadn't opened his big mouth earlier this wouldn't be happening. But…but for her to be taking these kind of measures to ensure his forgiveness it meant something…didn't it?

_________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________

Cloud forced himself not to shout in relief as he dropped Anemone and Masosuki off at Aerith's church.

"Well, I guess I'll see you guys tomorrow." The words were barely out of his mouth when he found himself entangled by feminine bodies.

"Bye Bye Cloud-kun!" Anemone pressed herself as close as she could.

"We'll be counting the hours till we see you again!" Masosuki blushed as she said these words and as if by some silent agreement she and Anemone both quickly pressed their lips against his cheeks. The Young SOLDIER blushed as the two girls disappeared into the church giggling. Blinking Cloud shook his head. No! He couldn't allow himself to be seduced by these girls and their feminine wiles… with a small huff he turned and stalked back to training camp.

Cloud was still preoccupied with thoughts of the two females so he didn't notice the eerie quietness of the camp. What pulled him from his thoughts was the sight of Zack leaving the infirmary and disappearing into a barn near the chocobo stables. Cloud frowned. Funny he had never noticed that building before…he trotted to the building and entered quietly.

"…. Has a difficult personality and I feel as though I didn't prepare you enough for this assignment."

Cloud ducked into a stall at the sound of the commander's voice. So the villain herself was here! Peering through the cracks he could see the commander in front of Zack. She was touching his arm as she spoke and Cloud tried not to gasp out loud. How dare she touch him?! His eyes narrowed when she bowed down before Zack. Hmph this was probably an attempt to get his guard down.

"Commander…Ninniachel…please, don't do this…" Zack's voice floated over to him and Cloud watched shocked as Zack grabbed the commander and pulled her up. The commander gazed up at Zack as he proceeded to pull her closer. Cloud's jaw dropped as Zack cradled the commander's face with his hands and began to speak in soft tones.

Brow furrowed, Cloud strained to hear. Damn Zack for choose this moment to be uncharacteristically silent! As he moved to the edge of the stall Cloud became aware of something breathing behind him. Immediately the young SOLDIER froze. Eyes wide he turned and found himself looking into the eyes of a very angry looking Cow.

_________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________

Ninniachel felt a strange sort of completeness fill her when Zack pulled her close. He was probably breaking all sorts of rules and regulations for manhandling her but at the moment she didn't care. Zack's hands slid upwards until they reached her face. Brushing his thumbs across her cheeks he said quietly, "I can't forgive you for something that you didn't do…I was just annoyed earlier and took it out on you. If anyone should be saying sorry it should be me."

Feeling exasperated Ninniachel attempted to take a step backwards but Zack held her firmly. She opted for a frown and said, "But you were going on earlier about how I mistreat you…and you we---"

A loud manly shriek pierced the air. Ninniachel and Zack whirled and gaped in shock at the sight of Cloud leaping out of a stall. Bob burst out behind him and in half a bound was pinning the blonde to the floor.

Ninniachel snapped out of her stupor and shoved herself away from Zack. "BOB! OFF OF HIM NOW!" Bob ignored her and lowered his head to bite Cloud. Running Ninniachel slammed her fist against the cow's hide and Bob toppled over. Bob mooed and glared at her reproachfully at her as he rolled back onto his feet.

"Bad Bob!" Ninniachel smacked him lightly. "How many times do I have to tell you to treat people nicely? First you bit Zack and now you tried to bite Cloud! If this keeps up I'll turn you back into materia." Bob lowered his head in submission before ambling back into a stall.

Ninniachel gave a weary sigh and asked, "Are you alright Cloud?"

"Now I am…" Cloud stood shakily. "I've never seen a cow act that way before…"

Zack draped an arm around Cloud's shoulder and giving him a squeeze said, "You got off lucky, Bob tried to eat off my arm the last time I was here."

Cloud rubbed the back of his head and a blush rose up when the commander began to dust him off. "Uh, Commander, I'll be fine."

His eyes met Ninniachel's and Cloud nearly winced at the amount of anger in them. "Listen to me closely Strife. Now that you know the truth about what happened I expect you to go back and set things right. And if I ever catch you eavesdropping on me again I will make sure you know what a real unethical punishment is. You got that?"

Cloud turned pale. "Y-Yes ma'am!"

Ninniachel gave him a satisfied smile and stepped back to stand next to the confused Zack. "You're dismissed SOLDIER." Cloud nodded meekly and left the barn as fast as his legs could take him.

"What was that all about?"

Ninniachel looked up at Zack and said shortly, "Absolutely nothing." She paused before continuing, "I'll see you around." She marched off hoping that Zack had forgotten about the conversation they had been having. Ninniachel had just reached the doorway when Zack's arms slipped around her waist and yanked her back against him. She let out a surprised squeak as he spun her around to face him. Ninniachel's hands came against his chest to push him back but before she could apply any force Zack's mouth came down on hers.

Seconds later Zack found himself flying into the wall. "WHAT THE HELL IS WRONG WITH YOU FAIR?!" Ninniachel stomped over to where he lay and towered over the fallen SOLDIER, her face a crimson hue. Zack sat up slightly dazed and said, "There's nothing wrong with me…it just seemed like the right thing to do."

"The right thing to do?" Ninniachel's voice was calm but Zack noticed that her hands were trembling. He stood and said awkwardly, "Uh…Yeah?" Ninniachel's fist connected with his cheek and once again he found himself sailing through the air. "You jerk! You don't kiss a girl because it's the right thing to do…I…I HATE YOU!" Ninniachel spun on her heel and ran from the building leaving behind a sore Zack Fair.

_________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________

Ninniachel didn't stop until she reached her quarters. Shutting the door she felt her legs give out and she sank to floor. Covering her mouth Ninniachel reddened and recalled the kiss. After a few minutes of indulging in the memory a smile crossed Ninniachel's lips; she stood and crossed the room to where her computer was. Getting comfortable she took a deep breath, opened up a new memo and began typing.

The End...?

_________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________

Oh

My

God

I thought I would never finish this story! I wrote this for several reasons. One I wanted to show Ninniachel's reaction to the memo from Rufus. In case it wasn't clear she merely knocked around a few SOLDIERS. Secondly I wanted to explore the relationship between Zack and Nia. I wasn't too sure why it was she mistreated Zack so much and I thought it would be fun to find out why. My theory is that Ninniachel has harbored a secret crush on Zack and when she found out that he joined SOLDIER and ranked below her she didn't know how to react.

My last reason for writing this fic is because I want to talk about Bob a little bit. If it wasn't too clear then let me explain about him here. Bob is a cow. According to the story he exhibits a lot of uncow like behaviors and features such as sharp teeth, extreme aggression, and a love of steak. I'm sure that the mystery of Bob will be explained in another fanfic.

Oh btw, kami is any object of worship in Shinto and other indigenous religions of Japan. Since the Japanese made this series I thought I'd use the word.

Anyways, I hope you guys enjoyed this little interlude from the MEMOS world! More memos will be coming now that I finished this fic! Leave a review ;)
