Taking a shaky breath I looked Rufus in the eyes. "We're dating." I tell him. He frowned. "And when were you planning on informing me about this?" He asked. "It's hard to tell you something when the only time you seem to wanna say anything to me is to ask me out to dinner and as soon as I say no you say bye and hang up on me." I tell him. "So that means you can't call me and tell me yourself? You have to wait for me to find out from one of the Turks?" He asks, his tone telling me how mad he was. "Rufus look, I know you have an interest in my body. There's never been any doubt in my mind about that. But Genesis has shown an interest me as a person. He has spent time with me, spoken with me as a friend, and giving me advice." I tell him. "I can give you anything you want." Rufus argues. I frowned at him. "You want a girl that wants things from her boyfriend alone then go date Scarlet." I snapped at him. "Don't talk to me like that!" Rufus snapped. I couldn't help but feel angered by his tone. "Rufus I want you out of here. Now." I say as calmly as I can while at the same time making sure he knows I'm not playing around.

Angeal and Genesis entered the apartment and removed their boots. "Dark?" Angeal called as they entered the living room. There was no reply so the two thought she might be asleep. "I wonder how her head feels." Genesis said while looking towards Dark's room. "Well if she isn't feeling better by tonight then you'll just have to wait till tomorrow to take her." Angeal tell him. Genesis sighed. "I'm going to check on her." Genesis tells him before walking over to Dark's door and opened it slightly. "Dark?" Genesis called while sticking his head in. "Angeal!" Genesis called as he ran in. Angeal quickly entered Dark's room and saw what had caused Genesis to yell for him. Dark's room was a mess as nearly everything was dumped or knocked over; and there on the bed was Dark, she was out cold, naked, and bleeding. "Dark? Dark can you hear me?" Genesis asked as he carefully lifted her body and covered her with a near by blanket. Angeal pulled out his cell phone and called for help.

"Rape?" Genesis asked the doctor. The doctor nodded. "That's what it looks like I'm afraid. The question is what kind of person could over power a member of SOLDIER?" The doctor asked. Genesis and Angeal couldn't believe what they had just been told. Someone had raped Dark while they had been working; and she hadn't been able to fight off her attacker. The doctor went back to Dark's bed and Angeal turned to Genesis. "What kind of person can over power someone with monster cells who is clearly more skilled in combat both armed and unarmed then every one in SOLDIER put together?" Genesis asked Angeal. "I don't know; but Dark was suffering from a hang over. Her body might not have been fit for a fight when this happened." Angeal pointed out. Zack and Sephiroth came up to the two. "We heard Dark was here. What happened?" Zack asked. "Someone raped Dark." Angeal answered. "What?" Asked Zack in shock. "I took a look at your apartment. There was no sign that the door was forced open and the rest of the apartment looked like it was untouched. Dark may have known the person that raped her and thus let them in with out knowing what they were planning on doing." Sephiroth told them. "Who could've done it then?" Zack asked. "I plan on finding out." Genesis said, a dark note to his voice. "Don't do anything reckless." Angeal warned him.

Opening my eyes I tried to block out what had happened to me; but the burning between my thighs wasn't letting me forget, so I ended up silently sobbing. "Dark?" I looked up and saw Genesis giving me a soft sad look as he carefully walked over to me and sat next to me. I threw my arms around him and cried into his chest as he held me close, letting me know it was all right. When I had calmed down some he shifted me so the side of my face rested against his chest. "Dark can you tell me who did this to you?" He asked. I wanted to tell him, but I couldn't bring myself to say their name. So I shook my head. "Dark I need to know the name of the person that hurt you if I'm to help you." Genesis tells me. "I c-can't tell you. I'm sorry." I whispered to him. "It's ok. I know you are scared and I don't blame you. I figure out who did this Dark, and I'll make them pay." Genesis promised me. I clutched his jacket, wanting to tell him not to but I couldn't work my voice. I knew he wouldn't give up if I asked him; he loved me too much to let the guy get away with it.

Genesis had switched rooms with me so that I wouldn't have to return to the room where my rape took place. Angeal got me a new bed and covers; over all they went through a lot to make sure I wouldn't be reminded of what happened to me. They even improved the locks on the door and put locks on the inside of my new room so I could feel safe. But in truth I didn't feel safe anymore, I just wore a mask to make people think I was all right. My only comfort was found with in battle and Genesis. Everything else was just a struggle to keep people from finding out how frail and weak I truly was.

I was leaning against the wall of a stall with silent tears running down my face. I had seen him today; he had been speaking with someone and he didn't seem to be bothered at all by what he had done, even when he look at me he didn't seemed effected by it. I still hadn't reviled him to anyone who he was and I most likely never would. Wiping my eyes I left the stall and cleaned myself up. I knew I couldn't let Genesis see me like this; he'd go off thinking that guy had touched me again and that would most likely lead to a blood bath. I wasn't about to let that happen, even though the creep had it coming I didn't want Genesis to kill anyone because of me. Once I was sure I had applied enough make up to hide my puffy eyes yet still look normal I slipped out of the bathroom and went to see if I had any work.

Getting missions had almost become a battle for me since Lazard had heard about what happened to me and insisted that I should just take time off and recover emotionally and mentally. But I always won out in the end since I am the best female they have; which if you look at it is really sad since there are more female members then you ever get to see. A lot more, and yet I am the only one to reach the rank of 2nd class. Sometimes if I couldn't get a mission I'd try to help the other women improve their ranks by training them; but that in it's self is a struggle.

I had been sitting on a couch waiting to see if I would have a mission today when three guys sat down on the same couch with me. "So how you doing Dark?" Reno asked me. "Leave me alone." I tell him. "We can't; we were ordered to check on you." I looked at the speaker and saw it was Tseng. "I just want to be alone." I tell him and draw my knees to my chest. "You should tell someone who did it." Rude tells me. "You don't know what it's like. To feel that powerless when you know you have the strength to fight them off but you're too scared to use it." I said as tears came to my eyes. "Get away from her!" I jumped and looked up; Genesis was glaring hard at the three Turks. "Hey we're just doing our job." Reno tells him. "I don't care. Get away from her or I'll kill you." I could tell he meant it. "Very well. I believe we have a firm understand of how she is right now." Tseng said as he stands. The other two got up and followed him. Genesis sat next to me and pulled me to him. "Are you ok?" He asked me. I nodded and wiped the fallen tears from my eyes. "Thank you Genesis." I said while curling up into him.

I had gone back to my world for a while, telling Angeal and Genesis that I just had to leave Shinra for a while; unlike with my loved ones in Midgar I told my parents all about the rape as well as who did it. They helped me work through the emotional pain and a few other things I needed to work through.

When I finally went back to Midgar I found out that I was gone for two months. Genesis was glad to have me back and Angeal, well he was off on a mission. Once more I buried myself in my work and time with Genesis, using it to block out the pain whenever I saw the creep that hurt me. But when I did have to see him I remembered what my parents told me to do and I put up with him; I was even dealing with being on my own around the building. But Genesis was having trouble letting me go on missions by myself, but I could get him to let me; if I promised him that I would call him every now and then.

Today I was given a mission to escort the head of the Urban Development Department. I was told to wait near the entrance of the building for him. So I waited for him, playing a game on my phone until he arrived. "I take it you are my escort?" I heard a voice ask. I put my phone away and turned to them. "That's right sir." I answered. He chuckled. "No need to be formal. I'm Reeve Tuesti." He said with a friendly smile. "Dark Oracle. Well shall we be off?" I asked. Reeve nodded and we headed out together.

"This must be the easiest mission you have been given so far Dark." Reeve said after he had finished speaking with someone. I shrugged my shoulders. "I don't really keep track of how easy or hard something is; just if I can get through it." I explained. "Well in any case I'm done here, we can head back now." He tells me. With a nod I followed him to the car. "Reeve I want to ask you something." I say suddenly. "What's you question?" He asks me. "Do you ever wonder if this is the right thing to do?" I asked him. "I'm afraid I don't know what you mean." He saids. "I mean working for Shinra. Do you ever question the things the company does and what you are part taking in?" I asked him. Reeve seemed thoughtful for a while. "Well in truth there are many times I have questioned the things that President Shinra has everyone doing. I guess in truth I have doubted what we do, but there is nothing that I can do about this." He answers. "What if you could? I mean, I'm not suggesting you betray Shinra or anything like that. But what if you get the chance to do something to help the planet instead of what Shinra is doing?" I asked him. "I'm not sure I get what you mean Dark. But I guess I would help those people if I can." I smiled at Reeve, thinking about the good he'll do in time. Suddenly the car came to a fast stop. "What's going on?" Reeve asked. "Stay in the car." I ordered as I stepped out. Looking around I gripped my sword I scanned the area; going to the front of the car I noticed a large rock had been placed on the road. "Strange. Who would go through this trouble, just to get their hands on Reeve?" I wondered. "Who said it was him we want?" A voice behind me asked. I quickly drew my sword and turned to them, just managing to block their attack. The guy I was facing was tall and thin, with dirty blond hair and dark almost black eyes. "What the hell do you want?" I demanded while forcing him back. "Word has it you're the strong girl in SOLDIER. Figure if we take you we might stand a chance against Shinra." He answered as he swung at me. I blocked it and delivered a sharp kick to his head, knocking him to the ground. "You really must be stupid if you think I'm going to let you do that." I tell him.

"What happened?" Reeve asked me. "Some creep wanted to take me and brain wash me so I'd help his crew take down Shinra. I took care of it." I answered like it didn't matter. The driver started the car and we were back on our way to Shinra. I wonder how things are back at the house. Why am I worried? Mom can handle things there and I'm sure dad will be just fine. I should just focus on things here; after all the jerk won't keep his hands off me for long, He did swear he would have me for himself one way or another. I think bitterly.
