Mother and Daughter Chapter 1: The Baby of the Family
"Okay so how long are we going to be walking?" Snow asked as the pair continued in the direction they were heading, Lightning the leader of the two whirled around her cape
billowing in the howling wind of the ancient frozen city they were navigating through. She was dressed in a long sleeve light brown turtleneck with a white sleeveless vest over it
zipped down to the chest and she wore a short brown skirt and black stockings that clung to her shapely legs.
"Quit complaining Snow." She reprimanded him while walking backwards and adjusting her blue gloves with golden plates on the back of them. "Just a bit more." She continued
while turning back to face forward. "I bet your happy you took my advice to dress more for the weather." Snow said chuckling at the strawberry blond as she once more turned
to face him. "Shut up I was going to anyway!" She objected her blue eyes flashing. Snow couldn't help but stare at this beauty as he took in her gorgeous body and amazing face
but one part of him was kicking himself for he wouldn't mind checking out her gorgeous legs right now but he had to tell her to wear those stockings although she still looks amazing
in them anyway as he walked behind her or even possibly hugging her to warm her up. Suddenly the young lady of his thoughts stopped in her tracks and quickly drew her gun sword
more commonly referred to as Blaze Edge for that was it's name. "What is it?" He asked as he stopped beside the younger girl as her eyes quickly scanned the scenery before her.
"Some thing's not right I feel like were being followed." Lightning said slowly beginning to walk again but as they turned the corner waiting for them was Jihl Nabaat, Oerba yun Fang,
and a very large number of PSICOM soldiers. "Alright now I have to say this really pisses me off." Lightning said running a hand through her long hair.
"Oh come on Lightning everything pisses you off." Fang said as Lightning clenched her fist around her sword and was about to lunge forward and attack her when Jihl spoke.
"Now now Lightning I would calm down if I were you or you'd never find out who you really are." Jihl said causing Lightning to stop instantly, Lightning had been suffering from amnesia
for the past ten years ever since she was eleven years old. Now she is a beautiful twenty-one year old young lady that every guy she meets wants to instantly shag her right then and
there. "What are you talking about?" Lightning asked taking a couple steps towards her.
"Oh come on Lightning not another step." Fang taunted her as Lightning glared at her.
"Fuck you Fang." She snapped as Fang smiled with amusement. "Alright what do you want?" Lightning asked Jihl who smiled at her.
"I just want to have a private talk with you." She said beckoning her to come closer with her finger. Lightning obliged and started forward only to be stopped by Fang placing a hand on
her shoulder. "Sorry dear but we'll have to shackle you so you don't get hostile." Jihl said forcing Lightning's hands into manacles, after that was done Jihl led Lightning to a private
secluded cave. "Okay what do you want?" Lightning asked as soon as they entered the stone formation, Jihl turned to face her.
"I just feel so bad about leaving you out in the blue all these years." Jihl said as Lightning made a confused face at what the woman said.
"What do you mean?" She asked a small pit of worry building in her stomach.
"Well hun." Jihl started before putting a hand on Lightning's shoulder which caused the pit to grow and make her feel a bit nauseous. "Your my daughter." Jihl finished.
Lightning stood completely still eyes wide and her mouth ajar. "Your my...mother?" Lightning asked shocked as to what she heard. Jihl nodded as she brought Lightning into a hug that
she couldn't return because her hands were shackled. "I don't want to fight anymore." Jihl said as Lightning processed the information.
"Me too." Lightning responded feeling a sudden love for her enemy the past couple years that was all along her mother. "I'm...sorry?" Lightning asked not knowing what to say.
"It's alright sweetheart." Jihl said sqeezing Lightning in he arms.
"So...who am I?" Her daughter asked as Jihl tilted Lightning's chin back to look her in the eye.
"You are indeed Lightning Farron that is your true name." Jihl informed her.
"But...your last name is Nabaat." Lightning stated looking seriously at Jihl.
"I switched back to my maiden name after your father and I broke up." Jihl said as Lightning nodded her head in understandment.
"Who's my father?" She asked what seemed like a lot of questions burning inside her.
"Your father is a man named Sephiroth he is very powerful a general in the Shinra army in Midgar." Jihl told her daughter.
"Do I have any siblings?" Lightning asked the question that she really needed to know the answer to.
"Yes. You are the youngest of four, you have two older brothers Zack being the oldest and Cloud and second eldest. And you also have a older sister." Jihl said smiling at what Lightning's
reaction will be. "Who?" She asked causiously upon seeing her mother's smile.
"...Fang." Jihl said causing Lightning's mouth to drop in shock.
"...No." Lightning denied it but only causing Jihl to nod her head saying that Fang was indeed Lightning's older sister.
"How old are they?" Lightning asked another question.
"Well Zack's twenty-seven, Cloud's twenty-five, and Fang's twenty-three, and your my youngest twenty-one." Jihl said as Lightning shifted her gaze to the snowy ground.
"Come now I'm sure their all waiting to reunite with their baby sister after all these years." Jihl said as the two left the cave and headed back to the main frozen trail.
"Wait let me go talk to Snow." Lightning told her mother who nodded and gave her permission to do so.
"Hey Light what's up?" Snow asked the girl as she made her way over to him.
"Well I'm not going to be able to accompany you to the ruins Snow." Lightning told him looking at the ground.
"Really why not? are they kidnapping you?" Snow asked a thoughtful expression on his face.
"No you moron." Lightning said playfully shaking her head. "It's just that well..um..Jihl's kind of..my...mother." Lightning stuttered the words out as Snow took on a shocked look.
"Really." Was Snow's only response.
"Yeah and she's taking me to see my older sibling's." Lightning told him as Snow nodded his head.
"So who are they?" He asked and Lightning knew right there thatshe would have to answer a large number of questions.
"Well my oldest brother's name is Zack he's twenty-seven, my second oldest brother's name is Cloud he's twenty-five, and I have an older sister she's twenty-three." Lightning finished.
"Hey wait! who's your older sister?" Snow asked as Lightning shifted uncomfortably.
"Fang is." Lightning answered him after a few moments.
"Ha that sounds like it will be fun." Snow said laughing loudly causing the soldiers to stare at him. "So your the baby of the family." Snow stated calming down.
"Yeah." Was Lightning answer. "Well I better get going." She told him started back towards Jihl.
"Wait who's your father?" Snow yelled after her, Lightning stopped and turned to look at him.
"Some man named Sephiroth." She responded with a wave before turning and going back to Jihl.
"Let's go." Jihl said freeing Lightning's hands from the manacles as they climbed into the helicopter. Lightning had a lot of emotions she was supressing inside. For one she couldn't help
but feel on edge that it was all a trap and she fell right into it or if Jihl is telling the truth and is indeed taking her to see her older sibling's. She also felt a bit nervous about meeting them
because although she put up a front of not caring and stuff like that she really was shy and hated meeting new people. Well I guess only time will tell if she's telling the truth. Lightning
thought as the helicopter headed to an unknown destination.
