It was in the middle of the day and three motorcycle-like vehicles rolled up to the top of a low cliff. The guys riding them had similar features, silver hair, green eyes, and pale-ish skin. The middle one kicked over a sword that was by his foot. "Hey, Kadaj." the one on the right said. "Is that where big brother lives?" the guy had long silver hair that fell to the top of his rib cage. "Yeah." the one names Kadaj answered. Kadaj had silver hair like the other two except his barely brushed his shoulders. "Do you think he'll be happy to see us?" the one with the long hair asked. "Not a chance." Kadaj laughed. "Don't cry Yazoo." the one on the left sneered. "I'm t "But, "Mother's" with him." the one called Yazoo said sadly. "Maybe not." Kadaj said. "Don't cry Loz." the one named Yazoo said in his own voice, which was softer and smoother than Loz's. "Look, here he comes." Kadaj told the other two when he saw a charcoal black bike like theirs come roaring through the canyon. Loz and Yazoo looked at Kadaj and he nodded. Both brothers took after the black bike.
"Raven, could you please hurry up with that pain-killer?" Tifa Lockhart called from the bedroom. "Jesus Christ I'm coming. God!" Raven Graylock screamed from the hallway. When Raven entered the room she ran over to a small boy with dark brown hair and fair skin laying in the bed. "Denzel, Denzel wake up honey." she whispered. "Raven?" he asked. "Yeah, I brought you a pain-killer." she told him gently. Denzel sat up and took the small purple pill from her. "Tifa, can you please go check on Marlene?" she asked. "Yeah." Tifa said and she walked out of the room her jet black hair swaying behind her in a back and forth motion. "I'm tiered Raven, can I go to sleep?" he asked. "Of course." she gently hugged him and left the room. Later, after about and hour or two Raven heard the sound of a bike in the street. Tifa had taken Marlene and Denzel to the church so she was there alone. She looked out the window and saw a black bike parked right outside the door. At first she thought it was Cloud, but realized that Cloud was tied up in on the back. Raven immediately grabbed the sheath that held her knife and slipped it under her belt just as there was a knock on the door. She opened it and there stood Cloud with Kadaj right behind him.
"Kadaj, what do you want?" she asked harshly. "To come in maybe?" Kadaj said pushing his way past. "Let Cloud go before I..." "That is no way to treat a guest Raven." he said unsheathing his double bladed sword and setting it next to him as he sat down in a chair. She rolled her eyes, made them really big and sweet looking, then spoke, " What can I get you, tea, water, a bullet in the head?" she asked in her sweetest yet most sarcastic voice. "How about Cloud get's it if you make one more sarcastic remark." he told her placing his sword on Cloud's throat. "Ok,ok I'm sorry!" she said quickly. The whole time Cloud hadn't said a word. "Kadaj, give it a rest." Cloud told him sounding annoyed "Shut up Cloud!" Kadaj told him. "As I asked earlier Kadaj, what do you want?" Raven asked getting annoyed. Kadaj crossed the room and stood on front of Raven, his face only inches from hers. His emerald green eyes bore into her deep hazel ones. Raven looked down feeling intimidated. He placed his fingers under her chin and lifted her head so he could see her face. "What I want, Raven." he said as he brushed a stray piece of hair out of her eyes. "Is "Mother". " "Well I know where she is so you can get out." she told him firmly. "I think you'll remember soon enough." he told her as he left. After he was gone Raven untied Cloud and hugged him. "Cloud, where have you been, all of us have missed you." she asked taking a step back. "I had to take care of something's, but I'm back now." he wrapped his arms around her and pulled her close. She nuzzled her head into his chest, closed her eyes, took a deep breath, and exhaled. He smelled of dust, leather and something else, something metallic and sort of coppery. She stepped back, and looked at him. "Cloud, I smell the faintest hint of blood." she told him nervously. He looked up at the side of his head then back at her. She moved a strand of his jagged blonde hair and saw a fairly good sized spot on his head. "If it's that small, how did I.." she started but noticed a dark patch on his shoulder. She moved the fabric and stepped back in alarm at what she saw.
