Sora, Riku, and Ichigo was sitting in the living of Riku's house, waiting for Leon the pick up Sora. Sora heard a car pull up into the driveway. Sora, Ichigo, and Riku walked outside and saw Leon's car in the driveway.
"Hey kids. Ready to go?" Just then Ichigo cell phone rang.
"Hold up guys." Ichigo looked at her phone and saw that Kairi was calling her.
"Hey Kairi, what's up?"
"Hey Ichigo, were you busy today?" Ichigo turned to look at Riku and Sora.
"I was going to go to Sora's aunts house. Why?"
"Umm…could you come over? We need you're help." Ichigo felt that Kairi was in trouble.
"Kai, you ok?"
"Huh? Oh yea. It's nothing serious…it's just…"
"Don't worry. I'll be right there, ok?"
"Thanks. I'll explain everything once you get here."
"Ok. See ya in a bit."
"Kay" Ichigo hung up the phone.
"Is everything ok with Kairi?" asked Riku.
"Yea, she just really need my help with something for school but she didn't want to bother me if I plans already."
"So are you going to go to her house or to my aunt's house?"
"I'm gonna go to her place."
"You want me to gives you a lift?" asked Leon.
"No, I'll take my car."
"You sure?"
"Yea. I don't know when I'll leave from there, so I'll take my car."
"Ok. Be carful on your way there and back."
"I will Mr. Leonhart."
Ichigo rang the doorbell to Kairi house, which was also the mayor's house. Kairi opened the door and smiled.
"Hey Ichigo. Come in" Ichigo walked inside and saw Namine sitting on the sofa.
"Hey. What's going on here?" Kairi walked into the living room.
"We need some support."
"Support?"
"Yea…you see…we were going to go to Dr. Valentine house to get a DNA test."
"DNA test? For what?" Kairi sighed.
"You know I was adopted, right?"
"Yea."
"Well, I've been talking with Namine and it just so happens that she had a twin sister."
"Had?"
"Yea, she was lost in a bad storm when I was younger. My dad and I thought she was dead because my mom also died in that storm."
"So you guys think you could be each other sisters?" They looked at each, looked at Ichigo and nodded at her.
"Ok, so where do I come in?"
"Well, we don't know much about Dr. Valentine and was wondering if you could come with us."
"Let me guess, he's creepy and you don't know him to eat your soul or something?"
"How did you know?" asked Namine.
"Everyone is like that with Vincent. But he's always nice with me. I'll go with you guys." Namine and Kairi smiled.
Ichigo pulled into the driveway of Vincent home. The girls got out of the car and walked up to the front door of Shinra Mansion. Ichigo rang the doorbell and Vincent opened the door.
"Hello Ichigo-san and her friends. Please come in." Ichigo, Kairi, and Namine walked inside and followed Vincent down to the basement. His basement looked like a lab out of a science fiction comic. It was a totally difference from his Victorian style home.
"Miss Kairi and Miss Namine. Please take a seat here." Kairi and Namine walked over the chairs and sat down.
"Vincent I'll be upstairs, ok?"
"Yes. Please stay in the living room."
"Ok" Ichigo ran upstairs and walked into Vincent living room. She had been to his house several times before and always liked sitting in his living room. It was very beautiful and warm. She walked up to his bookcase and looked for a book to read. While scanning the shelves, Ichigo saw a photo album.
"Hmm, I wonder that this is," she said as she pulled the album off the shelf. She opened it up and saw pictures of Sephiroth, Vincent and Cloud when there was younger and a few pictures of her mother Aries. Then a picture caught her eye. Two pregnant women stood next to each other smiling. One was Aries and the other one was a woman the looked like Ichigo. Ichigo took the photo out of its sleeve and looked on the back. On the back she saw the words Aries and Tifa. 8 month. 'Tifa? Isn't that my math teacher?' Ichigo said to herself. She put the picture in her pocket, closed the album and put it back on the shelf.
Ichigo was driving home after she had dropped of Kairi and Namine. On the drive home she kept thinking about the photo of her mom and Tifa. She wasn't sure what happened to Tifa baby but she had a feeling that she had something to do with it.
"Why would have any connection with Tifa? I don't even know her! Augh! Forget it." Ichigo pulled into the driveway and saw the lights on in the house. She got out the car and headed to door. She opened the door and saw Riku and Sora sitting in the living room playing video games.
"Hey guys?" Riku glanced at Ichigo then back at the TV screen.
"Hey Ichigo. How was Kairi?"
"Yea is she ok?"
"Yea she's good. We hang out with Namine."
"Sounds cool," said Riku. Ichigo walked into the kitchen and saw the message sign flashing.
"Hey Riku! Did you check the message?"
"No!" Ichigo check the messages. One message was from Miss Yuna about chorus practice and a message for Sephiroth. Ichigo walked into the living room.
"Hey Riku. Dad took his cell phone right?"
"I think so, why?"
"Dr. Hojo called asking dad to call him back. I sounded important." Riku paused the game and looked Ichigo.
"You sure it was Dr. Hojo?"
"Yea, why?"
"Isn't that guy dead?" asked Sora.
"Is he?"
"I don't know. My dad said something about Dr. Hojo dying in a fire or something." Riku and Ichigo looked at each other.
"Sora, how do you know about or family doctor?" Sora shrugged.
"I only know about him because Cloud always talks about how much he hates him."
"Why would Cloud hate Dr. Hojo?"
"Easy. Cloud hates everything connected to our dad," Riku said before un-pausing the game.
"He doesn't hate us…" Ichigo said softly to herself before heading to her room. There she went on her computer to fin some information about Dr. Hojo. She knew that the man said he was Dr. Hojo, whether he was the real on or not. She searched online for any information about Dr. Hojo for 5 hours. After finding nothing she finally saw a report about a DNA experiment. She saw the Dr. Hojo was part of experiment were he was altering DNA and cloning. She also read that Vincent wife and Sephiroth were involved in the experment. The date for that experiment was on the day she was born.
"What the hell is going on here?"
