Summary: Harrison J Black, formerly known as Harry James Potter, has made a name for himself in the slums of Midgar after he massacred a building owned by one of Midgar's major crime lords. Being raised by his godfather, who was a former cop who held a grudge against one of the top crime bosses in the city, made sure that he was taught all that he would need to know in order to help his adopted father in taking down, and survive in this world. But in the end when he is the last one standing and he has no place else to go, ShinRa immediately takes him in due to his abilities. Meeting 13-year-old Zack Fair at the start of the SOLDIER program, he had no idea that he was in for the time of his life, and a destiny in which could decide the fate of the world he lived in.
A/N: Well I hope that everyone enjoyed the first chapter, and are excited to read this one! XD I am going to try and keep the chapters long enough to get everything in them that is needed. This chapter begins Harry's time before officially joining ShinRa. 8D Plus some original characters that will help further things along…you know the obligatory asshole characters. I hope that you enjoy the chapter!
Chapter 2: The Pint-sized Assassin, the Puppy, and the Boot Camp from Hell (Pt. I)
Zack Fair hadn't ever thought he would meet someone like his new friend Harrison J (James) Black, Harry, Orion, or Emeralds as he had found himself calling him. The latter name seemed to be the one that the younger boy like being called, and so the spiky-haired country boy decided on that one. Glancing over at the 11-year-old reading some weapons magazine he pulled out of his bag sometime after they had gotten on the train. He took the time to take in his friend's appearance, and he couldn't help but marvel at how pretty he was.
'There is no other way to describe him…well except beautiful, but I'm sure his pride wouldn't be able to handle that.'
It was true after all; Harrison really looked like a girl. Despite this though, he didn't possess that introverted personality that was common in any pretty boys he had ever met. He was the exact opposite of that, and just a look from those green and a twitch of his lips made Zack blush. He even knew exactly what he was doing, which baffled him even more. While he was younger than him and everyone on this train, he held this sensual air about him that made him seem much older than his appearance portrayed.
Others on the train seemed to notice this as well, and were sending glances over in the direction of his friend. The more shady looking elder men especially, and the glances that were sent in their direction caused unpleasant shivers to run up and down Zack's spine. Harrison didn't seem to care much for the looks, and the country bumpkin couldn't decide if he was either unaware or just didn't feel like they were threatening enough to be worried. Frowning slightly, he decided to look out for his friend in any case.
It wouldn't do for his friend to get hurt, because of some creepy older guys didn't feel like keeping their desires to themselves.
"Black?"
Snapping his head in the direction of the voice, the boy from Gongaga watched as a boy with spiky red hair made his way towards them with surprised dark green eyes. Emerald green eyes widened in shock, and a warm smile formed on the petite boy's face. "Is that you Reno?" The next thing Zack knew, the red-haired boy was in front of Harrison and bringing him up into a tight embrace. His eyes widened in surprise of the event, and did nothing but gape as the smaller boy's eyes almost took the shape of dinner plates.
"Where have you been? I heard about what happened, but you went missing and no one could find you!"
The petite beauty seemed shocked once more at the affectionate gesture, but he soon relaxed and patted the other boy on his head with a smile. "I'm sorry that I worried you…its nice knowing that I had people worried for me though." Pulling away from the other, he looked him dead in the eye. "Some things have happened since the last time you saw me, and now I have now decided to join ShinRa due to some complications that have cropped up." Reno's eyes narrowed and a certain gleam flashed in them for a split second.
Happy that the other slum dog caught his drift, Harrison then turned to Zack and grinned at the puppy dog pout that was on his face. Latching onto his arm, he smirked as he laid his head on the dark-haired boy's shoulder. Tilting his head slightly, his smirk widened as he looked over at Reno with wide innocent eyes. "Hey Reno, this is my friend Zack Fair by the way! He's from Gongaga, and since this is the first time he has been to Midgar…I was thinking of taking him to see the Market if we ever get some time to." Shaking his head, the redhead only snorted causing the country boy to look at him with narrowed eyes.
"Are you sure if that is a wise idea Black? A country boy like him wouldn't last two minutes in the Market."
Covering his giggle with a hand at the indignant expression on Zack's face, which was akin to that of an kicked puppy as he protested. Harry couldn't help but find him just too adorable for his own good. Placing his free hand against the upset boy's chest, his smirk gained more of a seductive tint. "Oh he will be fine… I'll be with him, and no one would try anything if I'm there." Green eyes darkened slightly at the promised pain that practically glowed in his eyes at the thought. Reno, knowing about the pretty boy's unnatural skills with butterfly knives and temper, shivered in fear. Zack could only smile at him with his watery violet eyes practically sparkling with happiness.
"You are such a good friend Emeralds!"
The mentioned friend would admit that he wasn't really bothered by the glomp that he was then subjected to.
"ALRIGHT GIRLS! IT'S TIME TO END YOUR LITTLE TEA PARTIES!"
Cat-like green eyes snapped over to the intercom, while noticing that Zack jumped at the sudden sound in amusement. Everyone else on the train also looked towards the intercoms, and all sound in all of the carts slowly dwindled away.
"NOW, MY NAME IS SEARGENT PAINE! THIS IS HOW YOU WILL ADRESS ME! YOU LITTLE GIRLS THINK THAT YOU HAVE WHAT IT TAKES TO WORK FOR SHINRA? WELL WE'LL FIND OUT WHEN WE START NEXT WEEK!"
At this, a lot of those around the trio of under aged boys began talking about what they had just heard. Harrison ran a hand through his bangs while sighing slightly at the behavior of the adults. Nothing they heard was of importance, and so he didn't see what all this fuss was about. From what he had been told by the Verdot, the leader of the Turks, they were being dropped off basically at a variant of boot camp owned by ShinRa. Then they would be given their uniforms, a bunk, and then a speech during dinner.
Unpacking and settling in will be what they do for the first week, and then after that the real stuff begins. A hand landed on his arm, and snapped him out of his thoughts. Looking up into violet eyes, he noticed the worried expression that was being directed at him from his friends. "Are you alright Emeralds? Why are you being all cloudy?" Brushing his bangs away from his eyes, his fingers brushed against the silver beads that pinned back some of his hair on the left side of his head.
"Don't worry about me puppy…" Ignoring the squeak earned for that nickname, he continued on with his smirk just singing his amusement. "Nothing is wrong, I was just wondering how things are going to go once we reach this place." Reno laughed while sending his own smirk back at his old friend. "I was wondering about that too, plus I'm hoping that at least one of our teachers is a hot babe!" Harrison just raised an eyebrow, while Zack grinned and decided to share his own hopes.
"I just want the training to begin! I want to become a SOLDIER, and become a hero like Sephiroth!"
Reno rolled his eyes at that, while Harrison giggled once more at the passionate statement. Oh yes, his time in this place was definitely going to be interesting.
Walking down the hallway with his uniform and bag towards his bunk, he ignored the leers and wolf whistling that followed him as he went by the group of boot camp inhabitants that were already there. Rolling his eyes, he wondered how depraved they were to even think about being with an 11-year-old. 'Well there was Riddle, but he was a pretty fucked up person already…' Shaking himself out of his thoughts, he stalked through the rows of beds on the left side, where the pre-teen and teenagers were to be bunking. That was something that he thought was smart, cause there was no telling what would happen if the younger boys were put with the men.
Here there were no women, and since they were going to be here for about a year to get ready for the cadet program. Some of the men were going to be looking for some relief with others, and the younger boys would undoubtedly be targeted to fulfill the positions. Being the youngest and prettiest of the entire group, he knew that he would be facing some unwanted advances soon. Harrison was very aware of how the men were staring at him on the train, and only someone totally oblivious wouldn't have noticed the many eyes that were practically molesting him.
The looks he inherited from his mother and father were his pride and joy. Plus he had been pursued by many pimps in the slums looking for him to work for them, and even brothel owners trying to claim him as theirs. He was positive that someone was going to try something, and they would be the one to serve as an example for the others with any ideas on approaching him. Smirking at the thought of riddling the person with his beautiful butterfly knives, he finally saw the bunk assigned to him and walked toward it.
Setting his uniform and his bag on the mattress, the petite black-haired boy sat on the bed with a sigh. He could only hope that Zack and Reno were bunked near him, because there was no way he could tolerate sleeping with random unknowns next to him. All the training he was put through taught him to be paranoid of those I didn't consider allies, and besides Zack and Reno. No one fit that category.
Noticing the sheets, thin comforter, and pillow wrapped in plastic under the bed. He began getting his bed ready so he wouldn't have to do it later. While placing the sheets on the bed, he noticed a couple of footsteps, which were coming from his left. Looking in that direction from his peripheral, and low and behold a small group made up of three men were coming towards him. Sighing once more, he turned to face the men as they came to a stop in front of his bunk.
"Well, look at what we've found here guys…"
Brushing his hair away from his eyes with a sigh of exasperation, he looked at the men with a bored look. "Is there something I can do for you gentlemen?" The man in the front smirked, and his eyes trailed the petite boy's slender body. "Of course, we know that things are going to be hard and we thought that we should offer you protection in exchange for….favors." Half-lidded emerald green eyes darkened, and a mockingly amused smile formed on his face. Placing his hand on his hip, he leaned more of his weight on his right leg.
"Favors you say…what kind of favors are you talking about here?"
The man obviously in charge gained a triumphant gleam in his eyes, and briefly made eye contact with his friends before turning back to him. "Well…in order to pay us back for this protection, you will have to pay us back in any and every way we request." Harrison brought his hand up to his chin as he faked a contemplative look. Out of the corner of his eyes, he noticed that the group just seemed too proud of themselves. As if they had accomplished something, and he knew exactly what they thought they accomplished.
He knew what these men want, because they weren't the first, and they most definitely won't be the last. It was no surprise to him that he would have to deal with people like this, as he had expected as much. What he didn't like was the fact that they were all ready to try and trick, what they think of as a naive kid. These guys obviously had no morals, but he wasn't surprised that they were allowed to try and see if they were qualified to work for ShinRa.
After all, there were thousands of people like them in the shit hole known as Midgar.
"So how about it?"
Deciding that they would be the ones to serve as an example for any others, a small smile took residence on his face as he tilted his head to the side. The anticipation on their faces for a positive answer almost caused the smile to turn malicious. Fortunately, he was able to control himself.
"I'm sorry, but I'm going to have to decline this generous offer of yours."
Jared Harvey couldn't believe the answer that came out of his target.
Who did this little slut think he was?
The plan was full-proof! Being in an environment where there was 0% chance of a female being there, he had already decided on having someone there to use as a release. It was just his luck that he had spotted the boy on the train with two others. He couldn't believe his luck at the feminine boy obviously going to the same boot camp. Seeing the looks the other men gave him, he knew that someone was going to snatch him up quickly as their own little fuck toy.
Of course, he couldn't allow that to happen and so planned with his buddies. If they offered protection from the other males, the boy would obviously be so grateful that he would beg for them to take him whenever they pleased.
"What did you say?"
Dull green eyes stared up into his brown, and the smile turned a little more ominous.
"I said that I will have to decline your offer…I don't plan on being someone's whore ever, especially not to a group of idiotic bastards."
Gritting his teeth, he looked over at the outraged expressions on his friends' face. This little brat did not just talk down to his betters. Moving forward, the brown-haired man grabbed the boy's delicate wrist and snarled.
"You'll do whatever I want you to you little slut!" A spark of something flashed through his eyes, but Jared was too enraged with the supposed disrespect that he hadn't noticed it. "From now on you will do as we say, and like it!" He said nothing, and he seemed to be shaking a bit. The boy's hair fell into his face, and the shaking seemed to get worse. This caused Jared to think he had won, but that thought was shut down before it even started as the boy suddenly threw his head back and began laughing.
"Ha! Ha! Ha! D-Do what you say? Ha! Ha! Ha! Ha!"
He brought his other arm around his waist, and seemed to laugh harder and harder. Bill, the redheaded man on the left growled and stepped forward. "What is so funny brat? Do you understand the position you're in right now?" Not listening to him, Harrison continued laughing and the three began to get even more pissed off. This little boy was mocking them.
People who were in the room just watched in the situation in anticipation.
Sam, the blonde only stepped forward and a lecherous grin was wide on his face. "Well let's show him that were not playing around, I will if you want…I've haven't had any in a while, and this boy looks like he'll be plenty tight."
At that, Harrison stopped laughing and he pinned them all with lifeless green eyes. Very slowly a sneer formed on his face, and his free arm reached behind his back. "People like you sicken me, and I am not in the mood to deal with you assholes." Play time was over it seemed. His free hand, pulled out a small throwing knife that was in his pocket, and he knew what was going to have to happen.
In order to show not only these punks, but the others who thought he was going to become their little personal bitch. He was going to have to show that he could take care of himself, and that he would retaliate if harassed. These guys were going to be an example, which would most likely stay fresh in the minds of everyone here. Unfortunately for these guys, they were not going to be in much shape to join ShinRa when he was done with them.
Smirking maliciously, he slipped out of the man's hold and with a flick of the wrist threw his dagger straight into the face of his volunteered rapist. An agonized scream rang throughout the room, and any noise that was present seemed to have ceased immediately. Not allowing them to get themselves together, he swung his foot and landed a vicious hit at the brown-haired man's dick. A yelp of pain escaped him, and he crumbled to the ground holding his crotch with an aggrieved cry.
Cadets in the room, who were watching the whole confrontation, winced.
Harrison was sure that due to the force of his kick, not only was he impotent, but he wouldn't be walking anytime soon. Turning his gaze onto the only standing male, he dashed forward while nonchalantly pulling his knife with the other's eye, and then kicked his leg in a point that caused bone to snap through his skin. Sam fell down with tears in his dark eyes, and he held one hand to the eyeless socket, while his other hand was clutching at his leg causing him to bang his head on the metal bed post on the way down. Knocking himself out, the blood from his grievous injuries began pulling underneath him.
Ignoring the male, he dashed forward, he twisted the knife in his grip before slamming it at home in the man's midsection. Wide eyes stared at him in shock, and he coughed blood onto the younger male's cheek. That didn't stop him though, as his smirk only widened, and then he fell into the blissful darkness.
At that moment, he was sure that he had met a demon in human form, and those evil eyes would haunt him for years to come.
It has been hours since the fight, and sitting there in the center of the cafeteria with his friend and acquaintance. Zack Fair could say that he hadn't expected to be in the position he was in now. Looking around the cafeteria briefly, he noticed the terrified looks being sent to his table, and he knew who they were being sent to.
Harrison was sitting there eating his dinner with the manners of someone of the higher class, and seemed to be unconcerned with the terrified and awed looks being sent his way. The country boy was even more convinced that he really wasn't concerned with much. Just thinking about what happened earlier gave him the chills, and he couldn't help but feel sorry for those guys.
Zack and Reno ran into the room along with the drill sergeant and the medics that had been summoned. From what the lone cadet who reported the fight said, he was fighting against three older men. Arriving there, they were surprised to see the scene before them. Instead of seeing their friend being beaten to death, Harrison was standing over the three with not a scratch on him. There was a bruise on his arm, but that was about it.
Sighs of relief came from the two, but they were shaken out of that as Sergeant Paine stepped forward.
"WHAT THE HELL HAS HAPPENED HERE?"
Harrison only smirked, and he rested his hand on his hip. "I was just taking care of some garbage, though I couldn't exactly find a trash can…you wouldn't happen to know where one is would you sir?"
'It was a miracle that the he had been able to convince Paine that it was all in self-defense!'
Sighing, he brought his spoon that was filled with what was supposed to be soup to his mouth. Well that was his intention, but another mouth took in the spoon, and his wide violet eyes connected with mischievous green. Gaping at the other, he watched as the black-haired boy pulled back with a raised eyebrow. "You weren't listening to a word I was saying were you?"
Blushing in embarrassment, he brought his hand up to scratch the back of his head. "I'm sorry…I was just lost in thought." A snort was heard from the other side of his friend, and he glared over at the redhead. Dark green eyes seemed to mock him, as a smirk just seemed to slide onto his face.
"You shouldn't think so hard next time…it's obvious that you'll only hurt yourself if you do."
Growling at the other akin to an affronted puppy, he didn't miss the amused laughing of Harrison.
"Stop it you two, the time for that can start tomorrow…this is our first night here, so I believe we should behave."
Reno looked over at the shorter boy for a moment in disbelief. "Behave? And how exactly is permanently disabling three men considered behaving Emeralds?"
Shrugging at the question, Harrison brought some of his hot soup onto his spoon and had his hand under it as he motioned for a blushing Zack to eat. "That was in self defense, plus I didn't exactly feel like having them harass me." The redhead slum rat only shook his head at the nonchalant reply. He really should've expected much.
"You haven't changed at all Emeralds…you haven't…not at all."
An amused look filtered onto Harrison's face, "But of course…I see no reason not to…" Turning to Zack, the green-eyed assassin sent kicked puppy looks in his direction. "Do you think I should change Zack? Is there something wrong with the way I act?" Panicking slightly, the spiky-haired male vehemently protested the idea with the enthusiasm of a puppy on crack. This caused Harry to start all laughing, and try to calm on him.
Once everyone was finished eating, they had to sit through a speech made by Paine, whom was glaring at Harrison all the while. Apparently, the man hadn't been impressed by him being in a fight his first night here. The petite assassin knew that he was most likely going to be the target of the man's ire, but he didn't particularly care. He didn't matter in the long run for what he is here to accomplish, and plus there really wasn't much that he could do to him.
Smirking slightly at the things ahead, Harrison looked over at his two friends, and knew that things were going to start tomorrow. He had to get into the cadet program, and he would make sure that Zack and Reno were there with him. Allowing his eyes to drift back to the challenging glare sent his way from Paine, his lips formed a smirk.
It was almost guaranteed that training was going to be very entertaining.
End of Chapter 2~
Well I am finally done with chapter 2, and I am going to go onto chapter 3! XD I have decided that this Boot Camp arc isn't going to be very long. As the story will really get interesting when they get into the cadet program, and so the next chapter will have a brief time skip to near the ending of Boot Camp. I hope that you all enjoy this chapter, and will wait patiently for the next.
It will have more interaction between Zack, Harry, and Reno. As well as show the status they have among the other possible cadets, and sergeants that look after their training. Plus the strange hatred that Paine shows him, will be explained as they are leaving Boot Camp. Well, until next time!
Ja ne,
