A/N: So this will the first of a series of bits and bobs written/created/thought of during... you guessed it, last summer (thus comes the title of this fanfiction). In this case, this is the first few paragraphs of an upcoming project (see my profile), Three Swords, an InuYasha and Final Fantasy VII crossover. These aren't revised either, but are due to change soon, so please, keep watch and enjoy!

Disclaimer: I don't own InuYasha nor Final Fantasy VII.

Plot: While Sora listens to stories he's never heard before, he never thought that any of them were true... until one day.

"Wait, I want to know everything."

"Everything?"

"Everything."

"For you, my dear, I'll start from the beginning..."

"Sir, you have a call on Line 2." his secretary called out over her shoulder, never taking her eyes off the screen in front of her once.

Genesis groaned as he lifted his feet off the table and proceeded to search for his PHS - and closing his LOVELESS copy shut along the way - somewhere on the middle of his already messed up desk, wherever it was. Trust Zack to clean up your office on a rainy day, the SOLDIER mused to himself before answering his message.

"Hello?" he answered while leaning on the side of his door, trying not to sound as weary as possible.

"Genesis." Damn. Sephiroth. The redhead immediately perked up.

"Why Sephiroth, long time, no see." As if on cue, another voice entered through Genesis' ear.

"Gen, it's only been a week." Angeal. Wait a second, if he's in Sephiroth's office, where's Zack? Genesis quickly dropped the decision of asking the question once he heard the SOLDIER 2nd Class's voice drift in the background.

"Genesis? Is that you? I can't believe you're still here!" Said SOLDIER snorted. Still here, my ass.

"Even if the morrow is barren of promises, nothing shall forestall my return..." Genesis recited dreamily with his eyes half-closed, due to his two friends' annoyance.

"LOVELESS, Act V." Sephiroth replied bitterly. "This is no time to fool around, Commander." Said SOLDIER raised his eyebrow. Since when did Sephiroth Crescent act so moody all of the sudden?

"Alright, General," The redhead pronounced his best friend's formal title as mockingly as he could. "What. Happened?"

"There is no need to say every word as clearly, I of all people can hear you perfectly well," the General responded irritably. "We've been recruited in a mission by Director Lazard himself regarding a serious incident in one of Hojo's labs." From then on did Zack's voice started with the questions.

"Does this include all four of us?" Genesis rolled his eyes. Any time now and Angeal would be back to protective mentor mode, whatever you called those touchy moments during a time of danger, give or take five seconds from now.

"Yes, puppy, all four of us, don't get excited though or you'll have to take a permanent vacation in Costa del Sol, and I mean it." Yes, Angeal could get serious whenever he wanted to. As far as Genesis knew, the "puppy" was practically jumping in excitement by now.

"Now I get to bring Spiky! He'll be so surprised!" Zack dashed out of the exit searching for his little chocobo before Angeal quickly explained to the slowly growing suspicious faces of Genesis and Sephiroth that Spiky was just another nickname of a cadet named Cloud Strife, a close friend of Zack's.

"So are you saying that we all assemble in Sephiroth's office and go down into one of Hojo's labs right now, no matter what the cost?" Genesis asked dully with various hints of sarcasm dripping in his voice.

"As soon as possible." Sephiroth confirmed before hanging up.

The redhead sighed and plopped down on his seat for several seconds before jumping up suddenly, surprising his secretary for only a few crucial moments before she resumed doing her work, then rushed to his apartment on the top of the ShinRa building, aka the SOLDIER floor in order to get himself prepared for what seemed to be a very dangerous mission.
