Cloud sighed as he walked down the hallway of Shin Ra, in the direction of the science department. He had passed the exam that all the cadets took, to see if they had the slightest chance to make it into SOLDIER. But something none of the passing cadets thought they would have to take a Physical before they left for the training camp. Turning the corner he saw the other cadets waiting outside the door leading to a lab room.

"Hey Cloud." One said, waving at him, smiling softly. Cloud moved up to him, looked down at the floor.

"Hey…." He glanced at the door.

"This really sucks. I mean we work so hard to pass that damn exam. Now they tell us that if we don't pass the physical, we don't move to the camp." Clouds head shot up.

"When did they say that?!" he yelped, feeling sick to his stomach. He wasn't muscular like some of the other cadets; he had a thin, almost feminine body. If what the other said was true… the he was screwed.

"Before you got here, your late you know." The other snickered. Clouds glared at him then heard the door to the lab open. A cadet exited, looking at the ground, like he was about to cry.

"Next!" a man with black hair and glasses called. Cloud felt a hand on his back pushing him to the door.

"w-what?" he asked, looking at the cadet to his left.

"Your last, get in there." Cloud sighed, walking into the room. He watched to man with glasses move around his lab, he knew the man. His name was Hojo, head of the science department. Cloud shifted from foot to foot, trying to calm his nerves. Hojo turned around, holding a clip board. His eyes darted up and down Clouds body.

"Name." he said, moving closer to Cloud. The blonde swallowed.

"Cloud Strife." Hojo nodded, writing something on the clip board. He started to slowly circle cloud, writing something down again, he looked up at the cadet. Clouds nerves shot when the man smiled at him. But I wasn't a happy smile… almost a twisted one.

"Remove your shirt." He murmured, writing something again. Cloud sighed, trying not to blush 'damn it, get a hold of yourself' he said to himself. He slowly lifted his shirt, showing his slightly toned chest. Hojo looked him up and down again, the circled him again. Cloud jumped when he put a hand on his stomach, close to his pant line. His hand moved to his sides. "You have a feminine body build." Cloud blushed.

"U-ummm… sir?" he asked, watching closely as Hojo moved to his back again. He felt a hand on the small of his back.

"I at last found it." He said.

"Found" his voice was cut short when he felt something stab into his back. Warmth ran through his body. He fell to the ground, glaring up at Hojo, who held a needle.

"Don't worry; it's not going to kill you. Just some mako mixed with some sleep medicine." He smiled again, the twisted smile. "I'm going to have to ask you to cooperate with me, since I need to use your body for a very important experiment." Clouds eyes widened slightly when two men came in, lifting his now lip body onto a cold metal table. Hojo walked over, moving the large men to the side. He ran a hand down clouds chest, stopping it at his stomach. "You see I got to thinking…. What if men could bear children… was it possible? Could I make another Sephiroth, but more stable?" he glance down at Cloud. "But I needed a male with a female build… others are to straight, making holding a child rather difficult." Hojo moved closer to Cloud, leaning in and whispering something. "And I know you have a thing with that SOLDIER, Zack I believe… so that makes thing a bit more easer." Cloud tried to yell at the man, but his mouth refused to move. He felt another needle being put into his arm, watching as bright green fluid flowed into him. His vision began to blur, then everything was black.

Hours later, Cloud woke up. He glance around, realizing he was in the infirmary. His head was throbbing and his stomach was so sore. He tried to remember how he got there… but his memory was blank. He sighed and sat up, whining softly. The door opened as a nurse walked in. she smiled brightly, walking over to him.

"Glad to see you have woken up. How are you felling?" He looked up at her.

"Head hurts… and my stomach… feels like I got hit by a truck or something." She nodded, before laying him back down.

"I'll go get you some medicine. Oh and Professor Hojo stopped by to tell you that he would like to talk to you later." She smiled and walked out. Cloud glared at the door. 'Hojo… wasn't I with him earlier? What the hell happened!?' he growled in annoyance. The memory was not coming back. He looked up, eyes widening, as the door opened to show Hojo.

"Glad to see you up." He moved over to the bed. "How are you feeling?" Cloud stayed quiet, and then spoke.

"The hell did you do to me? I don't remember anything, besides going to your lab for a physical… what happened?" he watched in fear as Hojo laughed, pulling a tube of mako out of his pocket.

"You will find out soon enough. But you will be needing a dose of mako a day." He handed to tube to Cloud, along with a needle. Cloud gave him a confused look.

"I asked you what you did to me! Now tell me!" he said, glaring at the man.

"Just an experiment. But I'm telling you, you will need that mako. Come see me when you need more." With that he walked out the door, leaving a confused looking Cloud and nurse behind. "Don't mind him, he can be relested today." He said to the nurse then left.

Cloud left the infirmary, hiding the tube in his pocket. He walked back to his room in the barracks, putting the tube on his nightstand, falling on his bed. His whole body hurt. He was so confused about what Hojo had said. What did that jackass do to him? He sighed, before curling up in his bed, just wanting to sleep it all way and go training tomorrow with Zack. He blushed at the thought of Zack… his well toned body, tan skin, blue eyes. Cloud sat up quickly, shaking his head. Zack was his best friend. Zack didn't and never would like him like that. She sighed, looking at the tube. Why did he need that? He didn't get it, but didn't want to go and talk to that crazy guy. He got up slowly, deciding to take a shower, when suddenly the room started to spin. He gasped as the room started to be tinted but green and his head felt like it was about to break open. He cried as his stomach and chest began to sting, like they were becoming tight. He glanced at the mako, grabbing the tube. He grabbed the needle that fell out of his pocket, and filled it with the liquid with shaking hands. He pushed the needle into his arm and pushed the button on the top, pushing the mako into him. He sighed as the warmth filled him, causing his vision to go straight again and normal colors return. His body stopped hurt. He pulled the needle out, dropping it to the floor. He fell backwards onto his bed, curling up in a ball. He was scared; he didn't understand what was happening to his body. He cried softly, falling into sleep, glad that the world and his problems had left him for at least some time.
