Disclaimer: I do not own the game FF9 or any of the characters although I do own the changes to the plot and my OC.
Well this is my first story in a while and hopefully I've become a better writer. The characters may seem a little OOC but I apologize for that I have trouble getting into some of the characters heads especially Beatrix since she, sadly, had little time in the actual game it's self.
This may become a Yaoi fic and the only sure fire couple is Garnet(Dagger)/Zidane.
Please don't flame. I will accept criticism if it is helpful but if it is plain rude it will be ignored.

Beatrix P.O.V.

Looking at the battle field once more I see my Soldiers collecting our fallen sisters so that they can receive a proper burial,
which after giving their lives for the kingdom they have earned, I can't help but feel slightly sorrowful, we decimated the enemy toops and now in the end I know we will only end up looking like a barbaric people. The last of this race attacked us in a last attempt of survival but they didn't expect us to be so well prepared. As we march forward towards the village I can't help but wonder if what we were doing was right. After reaching the village we see the slain bodies of the enemy and quickly realize that one of the other squads must have swept through here. "Alright we camp here tonight where if the enemy attacks we can take advantage of the area." I tell my troops. Out of the corner of my eye I see a movement in the corner. Instead of raising the alarm over something that may have just been my battle exhausted mind playing tricks on me. So I walk towards where I saw the movement and was not prepared to see Crying next to the dead body of whom I presume was his mother was one of the enemies children, he looks to be only of six or seven years of age.
When the child saw me I saw pure fear in his eyes as he looked at me. At that moment I felt my heart break into millions of pieces Then to make it worse he curls up in a ball and starts to whimper. He has violet hair and hazel eyes,
He has two cat like ears sticking out of the top of his head and they along with his tail were a lighter shade of violet than his hair. He had on torn clothing with blood on them.
"Sh it's okay. I'm not going to hurt you." I comfort him. "B-but why d-did they h-hurt my m-mommy?" He asks me still terrified of me.
"I don't know honey they were not suppose to harm civilians." I answer him truthfully.
"Wh-where am I g-gonna go n-now?" He asks me.
"Well I don't know sweetie, do you have any family around?" I ask him.
"N-no th-they a-all d-d-died." He says crying harder.
He has no where to go. No family left since they were all dead. Well I do know how to... Wait no I can't support a child.
Then again he needs a home, maybe if I work double shifts... Yeah that should do it.
"Sweetie how about you come live with me, there you will be protected." I ask him.
"R-really?" He asked me, already starting to calm down.
"Of course honey. If I say something then it will happen I do not lie." I told him.
"S-so your my n-new m-mommy." He asked me.
"Sure, if that what you want to call me," I told him, "Come on follow me I'll get you set up."
"Yay! I'm not gonna be alone after all." He exclaims while smiling brightly.
As I started back towards the camp with him holding onto my hand like a life line, I started to wonder what my troops would think. I knew that I'd have to protect him a lot because of him being part of the Nekonian race but I decided that in the end it will be worth it. As we walked into the camp I could hear the gasps and murmurs around me. Finally I get fed up with it and tell them all to be quiet and to not harm a single hair on him. I had to suppress a laugh at the shocked faces around me.
"As of now this child is in my protective custody. If any one of you should harm him in any way shape or form you will be tried for treason and will be demoted all the way back to private. Do I make myself clear?" I ask them.
"Yes Ma'am" they all say in unison.
"Good now carry on." I say.

Time Lapse _

January 15 1800

Dakota (Beatrix's Son) P.O.V.

"Dakota time to get up!" My mother tells me.
"Yes Ma'am General Ma'am." I reply.
At this she turns and glares at me. "What have I told you about calling me that," She growls, " I may be the General of the Alexandrian army, but I'm also your mother!"
"Sorry Mom." I say sheepishly. Yeah my mother does not like it when I call her General. She says its too formal for her own son to call her that even when we are both in uniform. The only time I ever get away with it is if we are in front of her majesty "Queen Brahne".
"Now get up and get dressed especially since today is the birthday of the two people I care for. You need to go down to the weapon store and get new weapons anyways and get some Hi-Potions the trainees need them." She quickly tells me.
"Yes Ma'am." I say as I get dressed in my usual clothing which consists of light weight armor and a Blue T-shirt over it,
light blue jeans with a hole cut in for my tail, pair of Tennis shoes. Quickly sliding on my wrist-let putting my sword onto my back, I'm ready to leave.
I walk at a brisk pace so that I could get to the shops and back as quickly as possible. As I get to the boat that will take me to the town, I get stopped by none other than Captain Stiener. God he annoys me a lot! He thinks that since I join under my mother squad, the first male in hundreds of years, instead of his "Knights of Pluto", more like Knights of good for nothing,
that he is manlier than me and he's right, then again that could be why the Queen favors me over him since I'm more feminine.
"Where are you going?" He asks rather maliciously.
"To town to run some errands for my mother." I reply irritated.
"Why did you not use her rank as she is a superior officer than you?" He Questions me.
"Excuse me but Captain I think you need to check rank here. I am superior to you in rank, so how do you get off on questioning me? Besides we both know that the General refuses to allow me to call her General unless we are in front of the Queen!" I exclaim significantly annoyed now. As I half yelled this at him he seemed to shrink down even though he was bigger than me height and weight size.
"Now if you will excuse me, and you WILL, I have errands to run." I huff and step into the boat and ask to be taken to town.
After getting to town and returning hellos to the guards I head to the item shop since I could easily stop by the weapons and synthesis shop on my way back.
As I'm about to walk into the item shop I notice an odd little kid get knocked over by a young Brumecian. Seeing the little brat yell at the boy whom HE knocked over I start to head towards them when the rat boy sees me he darts off before I can even say a word. So I help the other boy up.
"Are you OK?" I ask him.
"Y-yes, I'm fine" He tells me.
"What are you doing here?" Ask him.
"I'm gonna see the play tonight!" He announces.
"Really? That sound fun, but surely your not here alone, are you?" I ask him "Yes I'm all alone my grandpa passed away a few days ago." He replies sounding sad.
"Oh I'm sorry. Please for give me for my rudeness." I tell him "Oh well you didn't know so you have nothing to be sorry about." He says.
"Well since you are alone, if you follow me until I get my stuff I'll take you to the ticket booth." I say.
"Oh no I couldn't burden you with that." He says.
"Oh it's no trouble really. I have to head back to the castle anyways and it's on the way."I tell him, hoping he would agree.
"Well if you are sure..." He starts.
"Of course I am," I say, "Oh by the way I'm Dakota."
"Oh well thank you and I'm Vivi!" He says politely.
After buying the Hi-Potions we leave and head towards the town didn't talk much but was really excited. We get to the ticket booth and we have Wayne (the ticket salesmen guy) check it sadly it was a fake.
"Noooooooooooo." Vivi sobs.
"Hey cheer up Vivi. I'll see if I can get you in," I tell him, "C'mon Wayne give the poor kid a break."
"Sorry Dakota but rules are rules. I can't break them not even for you." He says after sighing.
"Wait I know I'll see if mom says it's ok then would that work?" I ask Wayne.
"I guess but we both know how likely that is." He says. "Well I gotta try," I say, "C'mon Vivi I need to stop by the Weapons place before I ask my mom."
"M'Kay" He sniffles.
I go in and buy the need Weapons and even synthesis an item. On the way to the canal Vivi asks the one thing I was hoping he wouldn't.
"Why do you think your mom can get me in?" he asks.
"Well she is kinda thegeneraloftheentireAlexandrianarmy." I say murmuring the last bit.
"Huh?" He asked confused.
Sighing I tell him again except clearer. "My Mom is the General of the Alexandrian Army."
This time believe it or not he pales a little. Embarrassed I scratch the back of my neck.
"Wow my first friend and he is the son of the Legendary General Beatrix." He says in awe.
I blush when he called me his friend.
"Well your my first friend to,"I tell him, "Your the first person who hasn't hated me. The only reason they act nice to me is because my mom is the General."
As soon as we got done with are conversation we reached the canal and stopped.
"Hey can one of you go get my mom? I'll stand guard til you get back." I ask the two girls who was standing guard.
"Yeah I'll do it I need to pee anyways." Says the blonde. "And I'll keep you company till she gets back." Says the red head.
"Ha ha ha so funny you know I am not like that or swing that way." I say while trying not to laugh.
"What are ya talking about?" Vivi asks confused.
"Uhm nothing you need to worry about." I say while turning red. I had completely forgotten about him.
"Oh Ok." He says.
We wait for a while for the blonde to get back with my mom. While we were waiting a shadow passes over us and we look up seeing the Prima Vista pass overhead. Hmm they must be getting ready to let the nobles through.
Hurry up mom. As I'm thinking this Vivi grabs my shirt and tugs on it pointing towards the canal. I look up and see my mom smiling at me.
"You needed me Dakota?" She asks ever polite.
"Yeah mom I was wondering if you could help me out with something?" I ask being sure to be on my best behavior.
"Oh Really now? And what would that be?" She asks.
"Well my friend Vivi here bought a ticket to see the play and it turned out to be a fake and I was wondering if you could somehow get him in to see the play." I explained.
"Dakota you know how I feel about bending the rules." She says.
"I know I know but he's had a rough time. Please Momma just this once?" I beg her.
"How has he have had a rough time?" She asks.
I step closer and whisper into her ear so that only she could here. "He lost his grandpa a few days ago and that was all the family he had. Besides if you saw how heart broken he was you'd understand."
She sighs and finally she tells me "Just this once! Never again you understand me?"
"Yes Momma thank you momma! I love you momma" I exclaim excitedly and hug her.
She laughs lightly and says "I love you too my son."
"You hear that Vivi you get to see the play after all!" I tell him "I know I know I know. Thank you Ms. General Ma'am." He exclaims.

I have to take a break or I won't ever stop and this will be a LOOOOOOONG chapter.
Imma update and add more Soon Really Soon!
