"How old are you boy?" The black haired man pulled out a new piece of paper from a folder and clipped it to his clipboard. He studied the squirmish blond in front of him with heavy interest. If Hojo's calculations were correct- and they always were- then the MP in front of him was poisoned not by the air but by Sephiroth himself. This fact alone peeked Hojo's curiosity as he didn't have the slightest clue what kind of creature would be so sensitive to makou in semen.

"16 sir…." Cloud shifted. One more hour and they would touch down in Midgar. One more hour till he was free to return to the cold confinement of his one roomed apartment.

"You're younger then I thought." Hojo scribbled something down which made Cloud even more nervous.

But this inquiry wasn't just to clear Hojo's questions. Cloud was looking perfect to Hojo. What he was filling out was a rest to the President to have full access to the blond. He speculated that Cloud was either an Ancient or some other species that had yet to be documented. A part of him hoped it was the latter as he would have fun dissecting the boy.

"What is your birthday?"

"August 11th…." Cloud didn't like where this was going and the belts that strapped him to his seat didn't allow him to lean to get a view of what Hojo was writing.

"Blood type?"

"AB… Sir why are you asking me all of this?"

"Curiosity." Hojo replied honestly.

THAT got Reno's attention. He looked back at Hojo some and watched him write down something else then looked at Rude. The other nodded and closed the door to the cabin.

"Somethin' ain't sitting well. Is it my imagination or is Hojo plotting?" The redhead glanced at his partner with a frown. "The kid is going to be…. You know… isn't he?"

"It seems so." Rude frowned as well.

"Fuck yo! That kid's too innocent to be one of those!!"

"It's the innocent that make the best ones."

------------------

Oh holy ground. Cloud was ecstatic to no longer be air born. He wanted to skip and jump and shout it out how he's so glad to be on the land but his shyness and weariness of Hojo prevented any sort of excitement. Instead he quickly relieved himself from them and hurried to report in. His commanding officer welcomed him back and gave Cloud notice that he was on a two week break, one for health recovery another as courtesy for dealing with Sephiroth.

Cloud couldn't help but giggle on his way back to his apartment. Who knew that dealing with Sephiroth was grounds for a week of paid vacation? Either way it was a nice surprise and he was more then willing to take it. Vacations were rare for MPs and he was going to take all that he could.

He stopped at one of the local mini marts and bought some supplies; food, drinks, movies. Sadly he wasn't old enough to go in the adult section but he was sure he could con some of the older Mps to get him some later. After all he was a growing boy and his hormones spoke up every once and a while.

And of course the thoughts of watching them lead to thoughts of Sephiroth's mouth and the things it could do. He cursed himself for letting his mind wander there and hurried home.

"Damn him… Damn him and that mouth… He's probably just gonna forget me now too but I can't forget something like that… Fuck Sephiroth…. What did you do to me?!" Cloud was so lost in his thoughts that he ran into someone and fell onto his ass. He looked up with a blush then paled when he saw the suited figure in front of him. A Turk…but it wasn't a Turk he's seen before… which wasn't surprising.

The young man had wavy blond hair similar to Cloud's in colour and cold blue eyes. He had a bit of a smirk on his face and tapped his nunchaku to his shoulder.

"Hey there kiddo. Nice night huh?"

"I'm sorry!! I wasn't looking!!" Cloud quickly picked up his bags and stood.

"No worries. I was lookin' for you. You're a hard one to follow kiddo."

"Tin cut it out." Cloud jumped at the female voice and turned. Another Turk with reddish wavy hair stood. In her hand, she held a shuriken and Cloud gulped.

"Look…. I don't know what I did but I swear if you tell me what it was I won't do it again…" Cloud felt trapped and panicked. He didn't know what the hell was going and he really just wanted to go home and snuggled and hide in his bed.

"Look Cissnei you scared him! Good job!" Tin rolled his eyes and started to walk closer to Cloud. "Don't worry kiddo. You're in good hands." Cloud didn't even have time to react as Tin swung his nunchaku out and hit him in the head, effectively knocking him out and to the ground.

------------------

"Look all I'm saying is maybe you should date Cloud, you know?" Zack meeped and ducked as the Masamune swung at his head. Maybe training with an agitated Sephiroth wasn't a good idea.

"There are rules and protocols that have to be followed." Sephiroth swung at Zack a few more times and watches the other dodge both with his buster sword. "You know Angeal would have a fit if he saw what you did to that." He stopped and wiped his brow.

"Yeah, yeah. I can just see him now. 'You've dishonored yourself by putting the blade to shame!' Blah, blah, blah. He's probably rolling over in his grave." Zack couldn't help but smirk at the thought of Angeal yelling at him for the wear on the sword. He looked it over then ran a hand down it. "HEY!!" He looked at Sephiroth with a glare. "No changing the subject!"

"What was the subject again?" Sephiroth opened his water bottle and took a sip.

"Cloud!"

"Mmm yes…. A subject that definitely needs to be avoided."

"You still haven't told me what you two did in Nibelheim!" Zack huffed a little and crossed his arms. "Did you two fuck?"

"No Zack we did not." Sephiroth went and sat down on a bench and sighed. "We both needed comfort and I allowed him into my bed. Nothing more."

"….Alright fine I believe you." Zack plopped down where he was and stretched out his legs. "But seriously, you give off the vibe of having the hots for him."

"Keep talking like that and I'll heavily consider the best means of killing you." Sephiroth snapped before finishing off his bottle of water.

He admitted to only himself that he wanted Cloud. The boy was exquisite to say the least. He smelled like the mountains he came from and that was comforting to Sephiroth. The smell reminded him of a home he never had. Cloud's hair was feather soft to the touch and his skin smooth and silky. His flavour was much like honeysuckles. Sephiroth shook his head. He couldn't think about this now.

"Knock, knock!" Reno peeked into the training room and smirked when he saw Sephiroth quickly get up. "We're home yo. The kid is on his way back to his apartment. Your crazy ass father was there to harass him a little but hey. It was amusing to see the kid squirm." Reno shrugged some. "And hey if you ain't tappin' him any more, I will gladly take your place, yo." The punch took Reno by surprise as he stumbled some. He blinked and looked up at his attacker. Sephiroth shot daggers at him with his eyes.

"You better have not have touched him…" Reno would have paled at Sephiroth's growled threat if he was lesser of a man, but he was Reno of the Turks and not some sissy General was going to put him down.

But…. This was Sephiroth and he really was trying not to shit his pants.

"Calm down Tonto." Reno rubbed his jaw. "I didn't touch the kid. He's unmolested and ready for your sword, if you catch my drift."

"I thought you said you didn't do anything." Zack crossed his arms and eyed Sephiroth.

"Ha! Lair they totally fucked!" Reno smirked as Sephiroth looked like he was going to kill something for this injustice.

"Alright I sucked him off and he sucked me off. There I've told you now both of you drop this matter now.

"Floor 10. Apartment 10G." Sephiroth looked at the red head with a frown Reno just grinned. "It's the kid's living quarters." Reno couldn't help but chuckle as the silver haired one ran out of there. "He's really got it bad. Let's hope he makes it in time."

"In time for what?" Zack tilted his head confused.

"Don't worry about it pup." Reno laughed again and waved as he headed out. "I need a fuckin' fag." He pulled out his pack of cigarettes and pulled one out.

"HEY!!" Zack ran after him. "No smoke breaks until you tell me what's going on!" He grabbed Reno's hand that held his precious cancer stick. Reno whimpered some.

"Hey nothing! I need this sweet nicotine as a relief from dealing with Hojo, yo!" Zack released him and Reno quickly popped the cigarette into his mouth and lit it with a sigh. "Delicious…."

"Was…. Was Hojo on the helicopter…?" Zack shifted nervously. He didn't like the idea of Hojo being in the same place as Cloud, not by a long shot.

"Duh. I said that already." Reno huffed some. "Sephiroth probably figured it all out, you're just slow to the race. I'm just hopin' Rinny-Tin-Tin and Cissnei doesn't get caught in the crossfire." He smirked some as Zack bolted. "Damn I love this job."

-----------------

Sephiroth made it to Cloud's apartment in record time and in much more trouser causalities then one could count. He grimaced at the thought of being able to scare the IMs and MPs to piss themselves but he had no time to waste. If what Reno had been implying was true then Cloud was in danger… If not then Reno was going to get a beating after this.

"Whoa there Silver streak!"

"Out of my way Turk." Sephiroth shoved the young man aside. Tin growled a little and swung his nunchaku at Sephiroth only to frown as the taller man grabbed it and held.

"Look I'm doin' my job. Stand guard over the kid until his complete recovery from semen posioning. Oh wait it's makou posioning, my bad." He didn't even get a chuckle out as Sephiroth grabbed him by the throat and pinned him to the wall causing him to gasp for air.

"How do you know that?!" Sephiroth growled and squeezed the blond's throat more. Tin couldn't answers instead he grabbed Sephiroth's arm and tried to pull it away.

"I'm gone two seconds and you get into a mess." Cissnei shook her head as she walked up. "It was in a medical report. Private Strife is to be under observation to make sure he has no other signs of illness." Sephiroth dropped Tin, who fell to the floor coughing, and turned to her.

"Nothing more?"

"Nothing more." She repeated. "He's not here right now. Phoebe and Reed took him to the medics after he passed out on his way home." She crossed her arms some. "He might even end up quarantined."

"…" Sephiroth looked away feeling incredible guilt for what was happening to the boy. He pushed passed Cissnei, who just moved out of his way, and trekked out of the building.

"Great cover…" Tin commented from his spot on the floor. The girl just rolled her eyes and went to Cloud's door and swiped the keycard. The man got up and brushed off his pants and followed the girl in. He pressed the button to close the door then hit the lights.

The room was overly neat, he decided. Books were arranged alphabetically, not a piece of laundry on the floor or bed, the stationary and papers on the small desk were all lined up neatly, and the bed was made with not a single blemish. It made Tin want to mess it all up.

"What was he? A neat freak?" He pulled open Cloud's closet and frown some more. Colour coded.

"He's organized. It wouldn't hurt if you were too." Cissnei got down and looked under the bed then pulled out the boxes hidden.

"How did he know anyway?" Tin closed the closet then crouched down to help her look through the boxes. "And what exactly are we looking for?"

"Birth certificate."

"Doesn't the company have that on file?" He frowned as he looked through the closest box to him. He pulled out various papers, letters to and from Cloud's mom, journal pages, and passed work papers. Tin sighed and grabbed another box and opened it. This one….

This one he couldn't help but laugh.

"What's so funny?" Cissnei looked up at him and frowned. He tilted the box and her eyes widened and cheeks flushed. "That's… that's… NOT what we're looking for! Put those back Tin!!"

"I don't get why a kid that innocent looking has a box full of sex toys. I think he just became my hero." Tin chuckled and set the box aside and worked on another.

------------------

Cloud woke up with a killer headache. Last thing he remembered was those Turks. He tried to pull his hand up to rub his head but found he couldn't. He looked down and saw metal cuffs holding him to a metal table- which is incredibly cold- and an IV in his left hand. He frowned and followed the tube connected to him to the bag and frowned more. Whatever the IV was it was a greenish blue liquid.

"Ah you're awake." Cloud quickly turned his head to the voice. A speaker…

"Professor Hojo…?" Cloud paled. He didn't like what was going on and all he could think of was getting free. He pulled on the cuffs more trying to break them if he could.

Hojo couldn't help but smile at Cloud's desperate attempts of getting free. Not even Sephiroth could break through those binding, the boy had no hope. He jotted down Cloud's behavior and pressed the intercom button again.

"Yes, boy. Just relax you aren't going anywhere." For a very long time He added mentally. The IV pack was the start of a new project. It was one thing to implant tiny amount of Jenova cells into regular SOLDIERs, another to start at birth, but the chance to do it on a teenager that was easily poisoned by the life blood of the planet was another.

"Blood tests are in sir…" One of the lab techs walked over to Hojo and handed him the folder. Hojo frowned as he looked them over.

"No abnormalities? Interesting… Incredible interesting. The boy clearly isn't human, such a small dose of makou from ejaculation wouldn't have cause such a severe reaction to a human as it did to him. We need an Ancient's blood sample to compare, also compare it to a human's."

"Yes sir." The tech left to do his job and Hojo smirked and looked at the blond.

Cloud was still struggling, trying to find some weak points in the metal. After ten minutes or so he stopped and admitted defeat. Hojo came in with another IV bag and hooked it up to replace the now drained one.

He pulled out his penlight and flashed it some in Cloud's eyes and couldn't help but smirk more.

This was going to be fun.
