OK I tried not to make this one short, next few will be longer. I'm trying not to stretch it out to much.

Sephiroth's an angsty, lonely, little kid and Vincent's sleepy.

Dirge of Cerberus is AMAZING!(Just thought I'd mention that)

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~Going to Sephiroth for a Whiiiiiiiile~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

A child sat calmly outside the lab, awaiting the return of Professor Gast. He hoped Hojo wouldn't catch him. He had done nothing wrong, but the man had always managed to rub him the wrong way. He wondered how Professor Gast could work with such a man. The muscles of his right shoulder knotted briefly.

"Professor." The boy called out, the bearded man turned.

"Sephiroth, what are you doing here?"

"I came to see you. My training's done and there's nothing to do." He paused. "Hojo isn't here is he?"

The man shook his head. "No I'm not sure where he is." He rested a hand on the boy's silver hair. I don't understand your dislike for him, Sephiroth, he treats you kindly."

The boy scowled "His kindness seems cold, like he's more afraid of me than anything, just like everyone else." He looked up at the professor. "I'm different…I've always known I'm different."

Professor Gast knelt on one knee to meet the boy's brilliant green eyes. "You're special; gifted with unusual strength and intelligence for a child your age. People aren't used to this; they may become more comfortable when you get older."

"Why am I special though?"

The man looked away, then said hesitantly. "It's because…your mother…she was special too. Her name was Jenova."

"Why was she special?"

The professor only shook his head. "I need to work." Seeing a look of disappointment he added. "You can see me later."

"What do you mean you're leaving? What will you do?" The green eyes blazed.

"I'm not quite sure. I'll continue to research the ancients with Ilfala-"

"But why do you need to leave to do it?" Sephiroth demanded.

Gast sighed. "I don't like what this company is becoming; science is being used for destruction and death-" He stopped abruptly, casting an almost guilty look at the child, who stormed out.

~~Passage of tiiiiiiiiime~~

The president has had a son.

Why is this celebrated like the birth of a god?

As Sephiroth grew the differences between himself and normal humans became less apparent.

Time passed and Gast faded to a dream.

He was alone.

He had always been alone.

--

Red, the color of blood.

Blood, it was all over his hands.

I am nothing but pain to this world.

He stared at the blood as he descended into darkness, it would always be there.

My sin.

The lid of the coffin shut before he realized his actions.

This is all I can do.

He closed his eyes and surrendered to the nightmare.

Don't be sad Sephy, you'll make friends someday.

And Vinny, I'll make you happier (probably).

The next chapter won't be this depressing.
