Ch. 4:

The guys are at the house of the man they have saved before. The man says with a cheerful smile: "I'm so glad you saved me. What can I do for my heroes?"

Zack is happy and screws up his eyes with joy: "Oh! There are many things you could do, for instance-"

he puts up his finger, thinking about something the man could do, but he's interrupted by Angeal reassures the man with all seriousness: "You don't need to do anything."

"We just did it for the girl." says Genesis pointing to her. Zack sulks disappointed that the man wouldn't do what he was thinking about. Not cleaning his rooms…or buying food for him.

"But there has to be something I can do for you." insists the man.

Then Tenshi says: "Tell us your name."

The man wonders: "Hum? Um, Yagami, Soichiro..."

The girl looks smiling to Tenshi all the time and says, now trying to get attention: "I'm Sayu."

Tenshi answers her looking down at her: "Nice to meet you." She beams at him but he doesn't notices that, because he looks to the man again.

The man remembering his wish, says: "And…what can I do for you now?"

"But you already did something." Says Tenshi, faking obliviousness, but unable to withhold a smile.

"A-and what?" the man wonders with a frown.

"You told us your name. Now we know the name of the person we saved." Tenshi laughs.

"Could we go now?" says Sephiroth irritated. He shakes his hair, the wind picking it up the thin silver strand and blowing them about.

"Stay!" Sayu cries suddenly. "We could have dinner together, Tenshi."

"Great idea, but…" says the man to Sayu still searching for a way to thank his heroes. He turns to Tenshi. "You don't have to stay, if you don't want."

"Good…!" says a disgruntled Sephiroth, and leaves.

Angeal shakes his head, embarrassed at Sephiroth's attitude. He follows him silently out the door. Genesis makes a move to stand beside Tenshi, wanting to stay behind for dinner too but Zack lays his hand on his shoulder and says: "So, Genesis we should go too. Tenshi have fun." And he flashes a brief grin, turns around and steers Genesis away with him.

"But…" Genesis says as they leave the house.

Tenshi looks a short time to the door and points to it trying to say that he wants to leave too because he fells uneasy thinking about eating at the home of people he has just got to know. As he glances back to the man who is looking to him with hope, he only manages a weak: "um…" then seeing Sayu beaming to him with her hands folded together under her chin like praying, he hangs the head: "Okay…" he relents.

Sayu is very happy and jumps around him with joy singing: "Yay! Tenshi-san is having dinner with me!" then she sulks, realising. "...and my family." Taking his hand and smiling again, she pulls at his arm: "I have to show you something!" she exclaims.

"Y-Yay…?" says Tenshi, confused and not particularly happy because he has a bad feeling about that.

The next day Zack and Tenshi are out walking the streets together again. "I will never forgive you…!" says Tenshi suddenly.

Zack is frightened jumps aside. He holds his hands up in the air defensively: "Wait…What…Why?" He put his arms down when he saw that Tenshi wasn't going to explode on him again.

"You left me alone with that crazy fall-for-me girl. And moreover…you were smiling." He looks at him in grim sulkiness. He's unhappy about having been left by his dear friends.

"Oh, that thing…," he was embarrassed and holds up his heat to keep being cool, "Yeah… I'm sorry 'bout that. I thought you deserved it."

Tenshi was shocked but smiles: "Deserve? She put me bows and beads, or something like that, in my hair!"

"Okay…" is the only thing Zack can say about this weird thing.

"Let's talk about something different." Tenshi went to change the subject with clumsy tactlessness.

"Well, how about SOLDIER?" Zack says remembering that Tenshi is a fellow SOLDIER now.

Tenshi wonders a little: "SOLDIER? Why?"

"You are a SOLDIER now. Did you get your uniform?"

"No. I will get mine tomorrow, they say." They sit down on the edge of the fountain. "Say Zack…what's you aim?"

"Aim?" he looks into Tenshi's face wonderingly.

"You know…what do you want to reach…now… since you've become a SOLDIER…"

"Well…I didn't think 'bout that…I just did my job… and yours?"

Tenshi looks proudly in the air: "My aim is to become…a 2nd class SOLDIER, and then it would be a 1st."

"That doesn't sounds like a plan…!" laughs Zack. "But…May I… use this too?"

"No…I don't think it suits you." Tenshi shakes his head seriously.

"Well… then what?" Zack looks at Tenshi quizzically.

"I think you should go for the highest aim."

"You mean…to be a SOLDIER 1st class?"

"Oh no! To be a Hero!" Tenshi looks at him smiling.

Zack looks in the air: "To be…a Hero…" he says while closing his eyes and welcomes the words in his heart.

Tenshi grins: "Looks like now you got an aim."

Zack clenches the fists in exultance. "You know…I could hug you right now…!"

Tenshi laughs: "So why don't you do that?"

Zack: "Are you joking? I'm a man…man! Men don't do that in public."

Tenshi says: "No one's lookin'…"

Zack glances left to right, then smiles. They hug briefly.

The following day on the SOLDIER-floor, Tenshi is walking out of the briefing room. Zack: "Yo! Tenshi …didn't you get your uniform?"

"I got one but…"

"So why don't you dress up."

"I can't... I need to see the Director." Tenshi feels unwell.

Tenshi waits for the lift and goes to the floor of the Director's office.

"Why don't you wear the uniform?" asks Lazard.

"To be honest…um, well…it…it doesn't suit me…" says Tenshi quiet embarrassed.

"You know, just the 1st class SOLDIER are allowed to dress what they want…" Lazard says looking seriously at him.

Tenshi grins bashfully: "So that means…" then his grin turns into a lucky smile. "I should become a 1st soon, so you can't fire me."

Lazard closes his eyes and smiles, folding arms: "Okay, for you I'll do an exception."

"Why changing opinion?" Tenshi answers casually.

"Because you were really good out there and it would be a pity too lose someone like you." He watches Tenshi right in the face, while Tenshi's mood is been filled with ecstasy. Then Tenshi leaves the office, grinning with childish delight and shaking with joy. He was very proud of his positive results so far.
