Goddess' Gift
A Final Fantasy VII Story
Chapter 7:
A Surprise in the Office
AN: Hi all back again with another chappie for Goddess' Gift! I'm hoping to have some fun with this one. I don't know if it's going to be short or long, it just depends on how things roll and on how things play out. If I get certain things in, I might stop there. Or I might get certain things in then add a few more things in to make it a little longer, I don't know.
I'm still deciding. But what I DO know, is that this should be an interesting chappie. Now just so you know there is KIND OF a little religion like stuff in here. Its when Genesis gets Amaterasu to address his Goddess. For those of you who are offended by this, I will put you in a warning when this starts so you can skip it if you want to so you aren't offended and everything, cause people do stuff like that and I understand that, so just be ready for the warning! Although, I will tell you if you skip the religion section, you will miss a bit of the story that is important, so you might not want to skip it, just a little FYI on that.
But hey it's your choice. Skip it and not be offended and miss some of the story, or not skip it and have the full effect of the story. I personally think it's not too bad on the religion thing. I tried to keep it kind of neutral. But I never saw Genesis talk to the Goddess in Crisis Core, or if he did I really didn't catch it very well, and I'm too lazy to go back and play the game or watch the cut-scene movie to find out so I'm just kind of making up my way of him talking to her.
So sit back and enjoy the excitement and fun that will be coming up in this chappie! Once again I have edited the chappie and hope you enjoy it!
"When the war of the beasts brings about the worlds end, the Goddess decends from the sky. Wings of light and dark spread afar. She guides us to bliss, her Gift everlasting..."
LOVELESS Prologue
"Sometimes people are beautiful.
Not in looks.
Not in what they say.
Just in what they are."
― Markus Zusak, I Am the Messenger
Previously
His friends had gotten it for him. He had to admit that the blade did look stunning on it. Of course, if his friends came in and saw his sword just leaned up against the wall they would be furious, so he called Rapier to him and walked over to the weapons rack and placed it there, taking a second to appreciate how it looked up there. He then turned around and faced his desk. The in-box wasn't as full as he thought it was going to be after the stunt he pulled on Sephiroth yesterday, but it was still pretty full.
"Might as well get to it..." he thought to himself, sitting down and pulling the first form to him.
Even though it wasn't very much, it was still going to be a long day...
Chapter 7
As soon as the door to the apartment slid shut, Amaterasu turned and made her way back to the kitchen. She started poking around in the cupboards looking for something to put the remaining soup in. After a few minutes, she found something small enough and she slowly poured the soup into it. The soup was still a little warm so she had to be careful. Carefully she popped the top of the container on and then walked to the fridge.
Opening it, she found a place for the container then shut it. Then turning back to the sink, she began to hunt around for the dish soap. Finding it, she removed the dishes from the sink and stacked them beside it. Turning on the water she filled the sink while adding a little soap. Washing the dishes quickly, she took note of the dish rack next to the sink, so she stacked the dishes there.
Draining the sink, she dried her hands off then walked out of the kitchen. Amaterasu headed back to Genesis' room and opened his closet. Poking around, she tried to find some pants that would fit her without too much trouble. After a few minutes and a few disappointments, she found a pair of black jeans that actually fit her. It seemed that Genesis had actually once been about her size.
Amaterasu walked in front of a mirror that Genesis had in his room, she frowned over her shoulders at her wings. She would never get out of the apartment and up to his office with her wings out. They would be a dead giveaway and she would be straight back in Hojo's hands in no time. Closing her eyes she willed herself not to have the wings. Slowly she felt the weight on her back lessen until it was no longer there.
Amaterasu opened her eyes and nearly cried out in joy. She could make her wings disappear! This was going to make going out sooooo much easier. Diving back into Genesis' closet she grabbed a shirt similar to the one he wore today and slid it over her head. It was a couple sizes too big, but it would do.
She wouldn't look too out of place because of it. Amaterasu noticed that he really didn't have very much in the way of casual shoes, so she grabbed a pair of smaller boots that looked like they had been worn and then thrown to the back of the closet for a very long time, and surprisingly they fit pretty well. Amaterasu went back to the mirror and looked herself over. The boots went up to her knees and actually accented her legs, thin as they were, same for the pants. The shirt hung a little loose, but it actually made a good style for her.
Amaterasu glanced back at the closet and noticed a small flash of red. Curious, she traipsed back over to it and pushed the other clothes to the side. Low and behold, another red leather duster hung in the back of the closet. This one was smaller than the one that Genesis was currently was wearing and fit her well. It must have been an older one and one that he didn't wear anymore.
Maybe he would even give it to her! Amaterasu smiled with a mischievous gleam in her eye, it would be quite interesting to see Genesis' reaction when she walked into his office in his old duster. It was going to be funny in the first place that she was going up or down there to surprise him as it was. Walking back to the mirror for one last look, she nodded to herself and then walked out of the room and then to the front door. She stopped, wondering what floor that Genesis' office was on, but then considering that she could possibly find out from Angeal if he was still home, she nodded to herself.
Amaterasu reached out and punched in the numbers to open the door.
"46247, right?" she asked herself, as she waited.
The door slid open and Amaterasu mentally cheered to herself. She had never been notorious for watching people open things, but she had wanted to surprise Genesis, that's why she had watched him punch in the code. Amaterasu slid out the door and slowly walked down the hall. She looked around for a door that would identify Angeal's apartment. It took a little bit of walking, the apartments were bigger on the outside than they looked from the inside, but she found his door.
She looked around the outer edge of the door, seeing if there was something to push other than knocking and she saw a small button. She gently pushed it, then waited. It took a few minutes but Angeal actually did come to his door. His eyes widened as he looked at her.
"Why are you out here?! You could get caught and taken back to Hojo! Everything that Genesis did would be for nothing!" he started to hiss, keeping his voice down and looking up and down the hall to make sure they weren't seen.
He pulled her into his apartment and the door slid shut behind her. Amaterasu shrugged his hand off her shoulder and leaned against the closed door.
"I know that, but I owe him enough to at least keep him from being entirely bored out of his mind all day up or down in his office. He has done a lot for me and I wanted to do something for him. I'm not really that recognizable in these clothes. Especially with my wings gone and the style that I have picked up since I raided Genesis' closet." she sighed as she looked at her nails, something she had seen some of the scientists do in the lab when they were exasperated or something of the like.
Angeal actually did look down at her clothes then and noticed what she had dressed herself in. She looked like a younger version of Genesis along with his old red leather duster, all except for her eyes of course, that was a dead giveaway. It was actually a quite interesting look. He shook his head, he was forgetting the main fact. She had gotten out of Genesis' apartment, absolutely out of bounds in his book.
"I should take you back, but somehow you did manage to get out by yourself and you did get all dressed up for him...I guess I can take you down to his office. But if I do, be sure when we are walking not to talk to anyone and don't look at anyone,and stay beside me the whole time. If anyone talks to you just act like you don't hear them, and I'll cover for you. Alright?" Angeal sighed softly.
He walked farther into his apartment and grabbed something from a corner and lifted it onto his back. Amaterasu looked up with interest and when he stepped back into enough light, she saw that he had a huge sword propped on his back. She didn't know how it was hanging there with how huge it was, it must have been heavy as heck, but she didn't bother to ask. She just wanted to get to see Genesis. Then Angeal waited for her to move and he then punched in the code for his door.
Amaterasu didn't bother to look at the code for that one, not thinking she would ever be locked in his apartment. They both walked out and started down to the elevator. Angeal pushed the button and they waited for it to come. Once the door opened and they boarded, Angeal pushed the button for the 38th floor and they waited for the elevator to move. Angeal studied the girl as she leaned against the wall.
She reminded him of Genesis when he had made 1st. He had been so confident and cool, nothing had seemed to bother him, and at the moment Amaterasu seemed the same. She kept her eyes trained on the view out the back of the elevator as it moved. When it stopped and the doors opened, she pushed herself off the elevator wall and walked out. Angeal walked out behind her and quickly caught up to her.
He grabbed her shoulder and pulled her back to him.
"I told you to stay with me just in case. When we get to Genesis' office you can go on alone, but until then stay with me...please..." he hissed.
She gave him an annoyed look but stayed beside him as he walked down the hall. A couple people waved to him and he nodded at them. But no one said anything to her. Once they reached Genesis' office, Angeal put his hand on her shoulder and gave her a small smile. Then he turned and walked away.
Amaterasu turned, then pushed the button that would announce her being outside the door. Genesis looked up from his paperwork. He wasn't expecting anyone, so he didn't know who would be visiting him. Rising from his desk, he swiftly walked to the door and hit the button to open it. It slid open and to his shock revealed Amaterasu to him. The surprise showed on his face for a moment, then sight anger replaced it. He grabbed the collar of the duster and yanked her inside as he looked down the hallway she had been in. Once the door had closed, he drew her against him in a protective hug.
"You idiot..." he whispered, "...how in the Goddess' name did you get up here without being seen?"
Amaterasu tried to push him away so she could look him in the face, but his grip on her just tightened. So she settled for putting her arms around his waist and laying her head on his chest.
"Well for one, you didn't keep me from seeing the code that opened your door. And two, I halfway convinced Angeal to "basically" smuggle me up here. But all he really did was walk me up here. I was the one who got out of your place and found his. By the way, your clothes fit me pretty well." she whispered.
He stiffened, then pushed her away enough to look down at her clothes. Sure enough, she was wearing some of his old clothes, and his old duster that no longer fit him. A smile crept across his face at this. She did look good in his old clothes. He shook his head, then pulled Amaterasu against him once more.
"You shouldn't have come up here, Amaterasu. I don't want you to be captured by Hojo again..." he began, his voice soft, but chastising.
Amaterasu sent her hand ghosting up his back to settle just between his shoulder blades.
"I know, but I remembered what you said about being bored in here all day with nothing to do but paperwork. I thought that I would come give you some company and keep you from being too bored up here. I promise I won't distract you too much. Please let me stay up here..." she whispered back to him.
Another smile crossed Genesis' face and he hugged her tightly again. She had an insane streak in her for coming up here with Hojo still after her, but she did it for him. He nodded his head.
"Yeah, you can stay. The couch is comfortable if you want to sit there." he said, letting her go and pointing to it.
Amaterasu smiled and shook her head.
"I'd like to sit nearer to you if possible. Please?" she asked.
Genesis looked at the chair in front of his desk and sighed, "That chair isn't very comfortable, Amaterasu..."
"Don't care, I've probably sat on worse!" she chirped.
Genesis shrugged, released her, and walked back to his desk, dragging the chair behind it with him. Amaterasu followed him and sat down once he released the chair and sat down in it. She watched him pull a sheet of paper to him and she leaned forward to see what was on it. She didn't understand too much of what it was about, but Genesis seemed to scan the words for something then he signed his name at the bottom then put it on the other side of his desk. He then pulled another piece of paper to him an did the same thing, then repeated the same thing with a third and fourth paper.
Amaterasu could see why he would get bored so easily if that was what he had to do every day when he came in here.
"Is that what you have to do all the time?" she asked softly.
Genesis shook his head.
"Not all the time. This is just punishment for what I did to one of my friends last night. Because he is my superior in rank, he can push off some of his paperwork on me if he wants to. Which I think is a load of crap, but there is nothing that I can do about it. I was the one who asked for it.
Normally I look over the Materia scores of the SOLDIER's that are still 3rd's and 2nds. It makes it helpful when we get ready to promote them. We can then divide them into the teams they need to be in when we send them out on missions. There are ones that are better with the elementals, like fire, lightning, earth, ice, and so on and so forth. Then there are the ones that are good at healing.
Then there are the ones that are mainly made for defensive fighting or more often called "support" users. The more we are able to sort the SOLDIER's out when we send them on missions, the less likely they are to get hurt. Angeal is the one that keeps track of the ones that show the most physical strength. When the SOLDIER's need to be sent out on missions, Sephiroth collaborates with Angeal and I on which SOLDIER's need to be put together to make a balanced team. Or if the teams are already put together, which team would be the best one to send out." he said, not taking his eyes off the paper he was working on.
(The reason I am making the hierarchy of the SOLDIER "team" assignment, is because I'm kinda thinking of a Naruto lineup. Like, Sephiroth is like the Hokage giving out the order to send out the teams when he receives the orders from the President, but Genesis and Angeal are the ones who know the teams so well that Sephiroth consults those two to determine which team goes out depending on the statistics and demands of each mission that comes up. Like S-rank missions, A-rank missions and so on and so forth. The "cure" people would be like the "med-ninjas" and then the "physical" fighters with their swords and fists and stuff would be like the "physical" fighters, then I'm not sure what I would call the "supports" in Naruto terms, but I think you might understand where I'm coming from right now. The reason I am doing this is because I need something for the three of them to collaborate on as a military defense but not be all with the President, "I'm going to conquer the world and everyone will bow to me!" thing.
I think what I'm mainly going to do is have them fighting monsters that are threatening to kill MASS amounts of people, and the local residents can't take care of the infestation themselves. So they send word to the Shin-Ra Company and he gives orders to Sephiroth and then Sephiroth sends the troops out. I know this is way off of what FFVII is normally about, but I didn't want to have to have all of the problems of the President sending off all of SOLDIER to kill actually PEOPLE and having Tsuki see Genesis do that and her changing her attitude towards him when she sees him do that. So I thought that killing monsters would be a much easier way of keeping her close to him with the "killing" thing still going on. I know it sounds so stupid and sappy that I have literally reduced the whole SOLDIER army to being attack dogs against monsters...but I am really sorry.
It was all I could think of. So in truth, Shin-Ra is not really Shin-Ra Power and Electric Company, but just Shin-Ra Inc. The Power and Electric is gone, more or less just replaced with Incorporated. I don't know what to entirely call it, but I will try and think of something. Or if someone can think of something for me, please put it in your review and I will use it and I will also mention the fact that you gave me the idea/info for the name.
I mean Midgar still looks the same and everything, but the President is not trying to take over Gaia by using the Mako reactor idea.)
"So why are they sent out?" Amaterasu inquired.
Genesis sat his pen down and pushed the paper back a little and sighed.
"This world, Amaterasu, is not safe. Not safe at all. There are monsters that roam all four continents that reside on Gaia. And there are many towns the reside on each continent. The monsters tend to grow to such numbers that they grow bold and they attack the towns.
Sometimes the towns can take care of themselves. But other times, they are slaughtered. When that happens, the villagers send word to the President of this company asking for help. The President passes an order to Sephiroth, my superior and also friend and we work out what team to send or whether we should go ourselves. If the monsters are relatively small in number and weak, we usually send our 3rd class SOLDIER's so they can gain experience and learn so they can raise in rank.
If the monsters are a challenge and would be more of a problem we send our 2nd class. If the monsters are out of control and they would be impossible for any of the lower ranks to kill, Sephiroth, Angeal, and I would be sent out to deal with them. It has been a long time since that has happened, but it has happened. Some of the monsters that I have faced, Amaterasu, have destroyed entire villages in their quest just to find food." he said softly, watching her face for her reaction to what he just said.
Amaterasu just sat there looking at him for a moment. Thoughts flew through her mind.
The first time she saw him in the lab when he broke her out. When she woke up in his room. When her wings appeared. The feeling of his hands when he healed her. Sitting in his room hearing him yelling on the other side of the door.
The smile on his face.
Trying to get up off the bed before he came in. Him helping to straighten her wings out. Him sitting behind her and holding her when his friends came in to meet her. Him running his hands through her wings. Watching him dig through his dresser drawers to find something for her to wear.
The smile on his face.
Sitting on the floor laughing with him when she fell after putting on the pants he gave her. Him helping her put on the shirt he got her. Putting her wing over him just before falling asleep the night before. Waking up and smelling him cooking something. Walking out and seeing him cooking.
The smile on his face.
Watching his face as he realized she could talk and she could move her wings better. The look he gave her when she said she liked the miso soup. What he did when she said she could use Materia. The way she felt when he gave her the Materia. The look on his face when she identified the Materia without him telling her.
The smile on his face.
When he asked her if she wanted him to teach her to use Materia. What it felt like to use the Materia and feel the fire surround her body. What he did when she told him the mastery level. The way she felt when he brought out the bangle and gave it to her along with the four pieces of Materia. Him putting the bangle on her arm.
The smile on his face.
Him complaining about having to do his paperwork. The way he waved before he walked out the door. The look he had when he opened the door to his office when she arrived to surprise him. The hug he had given her when the door had closed. When he had appraised the clothes she was wearing, the slight embarrassment she had felt.
THE SMILE ON HIS FACE.
Him saying she could stay and watch him work. Explaining what he was doing patiently without becoming short-tempered with her.
THE SMILE ON HIS FACE.
She didn't want to lose that, she couldn't lose that. He was not disgusted by the fact that she had wings. He was the first person that had shown kindness to her. The first person who had smiled at her. She couldn't...she couldn't... She shot forward and snaked her arms around him. Her arms went up his back crossing themselves and her hands held his shoulders in a tight grip.
Her face was buried in the side of his neck, and she held him tightly, sitting on his lap so he could not push her away.
"I-I don't want you to go... Please don't...please..." she whispered.
A shocked look settled itself onto Genesis' face, and his hands slowly rose to her back to hold her softly.
"I can't tell them no, Amaterasu. It's my job." he whispered.
She stiffened, then shuddered. He felt wetness slide down the side of his throat and into the collar of his shirt. He started slightly. Was Amaterasu crying?
"Amaterasu, are you..." he began.
Amaterasu shook her head. She didn't want him to go back out again, she didn't want to lose him. He just saved her, she couldn't lose him.
"I can't lose you, I just met you and you just saved me. I don't want to lose you. You said you'd teach me to use Materia, and you said you'd get me out of here. You can't leave me. You're the only one... You've shown kindness for me, you smiled at me.
No one has ever smiled at me. You don't care that I have wings. You can't go, you can't go. I won't let you, I won't let you leave." she sobbed.
Genesis froze, trying to look down at Amaterasu but she wouldn't budge from where she had latched onto him. His arms held her more tightly against him and he rested his head lightly on top of hers.
"I'm sorry Amaterasu, really I am. But I have to go if they order me. The best I can do is try my best to be careful. But please, please Amaterasu, stop this. I don't want you to cry." he whispered, his hand started to stroke the back of her head, trying to soothe her.
The crook of the neck of his shirt was quickly becoming wet, Amaterasu was trying to stop, but it was too hard. This man, Genesis, he had done everything for her, and he was everything to her. And she had to trust to fate that if he left her on one of his "missions" that he would come back unharmed.
BEGINING OF RELIGION SCENE
"You know, when I leave on one of my missions, I pray to the Goddess of Gaia, Minerva to keep me safe. I know you don't know much about her. But perhaps, you can ask her yourself to keep me safe for you." he whispered softly, trying to soothe her with the quickest thing he could think of.
He really didn't want her to cry. It was heartbreaking to him.
Amaterasu pulled back and met his eyes. Her face was tear-stained and her hair was plastered to the sides of her face. She tried to wipe the tears away but didn't do a very good job. Genesis smiled a little.
"Here, let me help." he said, pulling out a small piece of cloth and gently began to wipe her face off. Amaterasu sat and allowed him to do so, and once Genesis was done she gave a small smile.
"Thanks..." she whispered, sniffing a little, "...but I don't know how to pray or however you put it, to your Goddess."
Genesis smiled even more, now this he could do.
"That's easy, all you have to do is talk. She can hear you at any time you want her to. She's always listening when you need her to be. So when I ask her for protection, I just talk out loud. My friends always glare at me when I do it, but they've learned that I always do it and they don't say anything anymore because they know that it won't stop me.
How about we try right now. I'll go first if you want me to." he said.
Amaterasu tilted her head and looked at him strangely for a moment but then nodded her agreement. Genesis nodded in return then thought for a moment about what he wanted to say. A few thoughts crossed his mind he settled on one. He then looked up at the ceiling above him.
"Goddess Minerva, thank you for sending this "Gift" called Amaterasu to me. I shall cherish her like she is a physical embodiment of you. You have blessed me by giving her to me and I will protect her with my life, and if I must, I will give my life for her. " Genesis fell silent as he looked back down at Amaterasu.
She was looking down and Genesis became worried for a moment.
"Amaterasu..." he asked.
She looked up slightly.
"You really mean that..." she whispered.
Genesis nodded and smiled.
"I would protect you with my life, and I do believe you are a physical embodiment of my Goddess in a way. You are giving and kind. You risked yourself to come up here to keep me company when you knew it was dangerous. And you don't want me to leave to do my job and you've really only known me for about a day, day and a half. You're selfless, Amaterasu.
The Goddess can be like that when she wants to be." he replied, " Now what about you. Would you like to try?"
Amaterasu looked down again, then nodded her head.
She looked up.
"U-Um, G-Goddess Minerva, Th-Thank you for sending Genesis to me. I-I, please keep him safe w-when, if he goes out on one of his missions. I-I don't want to l-lose him. I-I care for him so much. Please don't let him get hurt.
O-Or one of his friends..." she started.
The part about his friends surprised Genesis.
"I-I don't know A-Angeal very well, b-but he seems like a nice person. He helped me find this place. And didn't make me go back to Genesis' apartment when he could have. A-and Sephiroth, I-I've seen him in Hojo's lab. He's been through some of the same things that I have.
Please keep him safe on his missions and try to keep Hojo from doing anything bad to him. Hojo is really mad that I'm not in the lab right now, and I'm sure he's probably taking it out on him. S-so let Sephiroth be okay. Don't let Hojo hurt him too much just because I'm not there for him to take his anger out on..." Amaterasu finished.
END RELIGION SCENE
"Was that okay?" she asked.
"That was perfect, I'm positive she heard you. And that was kind of you to include my friends." he smiled.
Amaterasu slightly blushed. She had just wanted to make sure his friends were safe too. They went out there with him on the battlefield, so they faced the same dangers that he did, why shouldn't she ask the same thing for them ask she did for Genesis? She leaned back into the hug she had given Genesis.
"I don't want you to go and I don't want to lose you. But as you said you have to go. Just be careful then when you do." she whispered.
Pulling away, she climbed off of him and back on the chair. Genesis gazed at her as she shifted back into the chair to try and get comfortable. She cared about him that much. It was amazing what the Goddess had gifted him with. He was sure in a way that he didn't deserve her, but then so much of what he had already he didn't deserve.
His friend Angeal, was a blessing when he was at home in Banora. The family that he had. They were stuck-up aristocrats and had wanted him to follow in the family line of being mayor like his father was. But his father was a total ass-hat, and his mother was a bitch in the way they acted. So he tended to stay away from them.
They weren't pleased with him. But he had snuck out one day and had met Angeal as he had been working in the fields on that day and they had become instant friends. His parents hadn't approved of it and tried to keep them apart but had never succeeded. So when Angeal decided to head to Midgar to join SOLDIER, Genesis had decided to join him as well. His parents hadn't been happy about that either, but they felt it was better than hanging out with the commoners in the fields.
So they had allowed him to go. When he had been admitted into SOLDIER, he had met Sephiroth and had aspired to be like him, but never truly expect to make 1st. So when he did and managed to truly befriend Sephiroth, he was beside himself. Now with only a single chance glance into Hojo's lab, the Goddess had brought him Amaterasu. Once again, he had received something he didn't deserve.
He reached his hand over to Amaterasu and silently slid his hand onto her cheek. He wasn't truly sure about doing this, but if she slapped him for it, she slapped him for it. He leaned forward and softly pressed his lips to hers. For a moment she didn't react, and Genesis was afraid he had done the wrong thing. But then, Tsuki leaned into the kiss and closed her eyes.
Relieved and happy at the same time, he slid his hand around from the side of her face to the back of her neck. The kiss was gentle as they slowly let it define itself, neither one forcing it, but neither one retreating from it either. They retreated from one another when the need for air became too great, and Genesis rested his forehead against Amaterasu's.
"You're not angry at me for doing that?" he breathed.
"I'm not angry, but why did you...?" she asked softly.
"I've wanted to ever since the first time that I saw you, but I didn't know if you would feel the same. With what you said a few seconds earlier, I thought you did..." he replied.
She blushed fiercely.
"I-I do..." she stuttered.
Genesis' heart fluttered in his chest. She felt the same way he did about her. Just maybe they could be together. Just maybe...he just had to get Hojo to stop coming after her. Maybe he could talk to the President and have him order Hojo to leave her alone.
Hojo had to listen to the President. After all, he was the one who funded all of his experiments. The President could cut all Hojo's funds if he wanted to or even get rid of Hojo if he wanted to. That might be the best idea, but Genesis would have to come up with something good to get that to happen. Maybe what Hojo had already done to Amaterasu would be enough to get the President to get rid of Hojo.
Genesis certainly thought it was good enough grounds. The only other scientist that worked here, Hollander, could take care of the Mako injections that the 2nd's and 3rd's would need when they moved up in rank. And he was sure Hollander wouldn't do anything to Amaterasu if she needed help with anything. Although, if Hollander got a little too interested in Amaterasu's wings, he could always take care of that. Yes, that was what Genesis would do.
Tomorrow he was going to talk to the President about getting rid of Hojo. And he was going to make sure it would happen.
AN: Alright people, I know it got a little heated at the end, but after all this is an ADVENTURE/ROMANCE! Things are bound to get a little heated and kissey here and there. And yes I'm planning to try and get rid of Hojo. It might be a little bit. I don't know if I'm going to make a struggle out of it or if I'm going to have Tsuki go up to the President, show him what Hojo did and make the President drops him like a hot potato.
And yes I changed the entire purpose of Shin-Ra but, I had to. I didn't want Amaterasu to be horrified when she learned that Genesis, Angeal, and Sephiroth killed PEOPLE for a living, so I toned the TYPE of killing down. They still go out and kill things but it's a little less violent. And yes, I separated the classes by their abilities by what Materia they were the best at using. I thought it would be a better way to make teams that could be sent out to do the missions to kill the monsters.
And just to let you know, the President does have a little control as to what goes on in the company, but Sephiroth does a lot of the mission assigning. The President mainly just receives the letters, opens them, then sends them down to Sephiroth to be hashed out to the 2nds or 3rds depending on how strong they are. Or if Sephiroth, Angeal, and Genesis need to go themselves. Rufus is really nowhere to be found at the moment and really doesn't need to be. The President isn't some old fat-ass dick that just sits there all day and does nothing.
He's actually around 22 or so and well kept. So he is quite reasonable, he just doesn't know what Hojo is doing in his lab. Hojo is doing one thing and then telling him another. Pulling off fake test results. So yeah, Hojo is a two-faced liar, so I'm making it kinda easy to get rid of him.
And Hollander is actually quite respectable, so that will be why he will stay.
