Hey everyone! Sorry it took so long, I was busy. The real romance is starting up in this chapter, its not that much, just hints right now, hope you like it!

Mizuki sighed, laying back on her soft bed, she never felt more tense.

I don't want to hurt him. She realized earlier that day, when they had all gone shopping. Then, I'd just be hurting myself. She gazed steadily at the ceiling. I'm growing too soft, normally, I'd hurt whomever had hurt me, no second thoughts, but now... He's killed my brothers, I should kill him inside, then outside, right? She couldn't bring herself to say yes, she didn't want that, not any more.

A moment later, there was a knock on the door. "Come in." She said, sitting up. Cloud walked in. "Hey, what's up, bro?"

"You were silent, I just wanted to see if something was wrong." he folded his arms, waiting. Mamoru walked over and started to rub himself on Cloud's leg. Unconsciously, Cloud picked him up, and started to pet him.

"Nah, just thinking." She smiled at him. It was small, but still there. "Hey, I want to go back to my flat, would you mind if I did?" she asked. He looked at her, a bit startled. His look held slight hurt and confusion.

"Why?"

"I'm used to it, and I wanna make sure no one destroys it." He sighed, then nodded.

"I'll help you bring your things over there, if you want."

"Nah, I'm okay, I don't wanna go soft you know." Mizuki said to Cloud, smiling. He rolled his eyes. "I'll come by tomorrow to say hi, okay?" She asked while grabbing her belongings.

"You'd better." he said, a small smile on his face.

"I will, remember, you've got twelve years to make up to me."

"And more." He promised.

"And more." she echoed in agreement. She finished grabbing her stuff, and walked out the door, Tifa watched her, eyes narrowed slightly. Mizuki walked quickly, wanting to surprise her brothers, and got there in only seven minutes. She had only just opened the door, when she had the VelvetNightmare pointed at her head.

"Yo, chill Yazoo." She said, moving past. He rolled his eyes, and put the gun away. She went to her room, and found Sephiroth sitting on the bed, reading.

"Welcome back."

"Thanks, but you need to get a new room, this one's mine." He raised an amused eyebrow at her.

"Oh? Prove it." She set her stuff down, glaring at him all the while, and opened her closet, it still had a lot of her clothes in it.

"There, now go."

"No."

"Sephiroth...don't mess with me..." She now had an evil gleam in her eye. "That's a very dumb thing to try to do." Seph looked at her, growing a little worried at the glare that could knock anyone dead if looks could kill. Just then Yazoo came in.

"Sister, I'll give up my room, do you want it?" he asked, gazing at her steadily. She smiled.

"Thanks, I guess so... you don't mind?" He shook his head. "Well, how about, I sleep on the floor, and you can have the bed."

"No, its okay, I'll just sleep in Kadaj's room."

"No, it's your room."

"Fine, you take the bed, I'll take the floor." She started to protest. "No, I insist." Yazoo said, effectively shutting Mizuki up.

"If you're sure..." He nodded. She sighed, and grabbed the remainder of her clothes and put them in her and Yazoo's room. She started putting everything away. The brothers watched in slight amazement as she moved fast and effectively. Yazoo walked up and put a hand on her arm. She was so engrossed, she didn't see and jumped.

"You startled me." She said, blushing as the brothers laughed.

"You should have seen." She slowly shook her head.

"My, eyesight's not the great. I'm partly blind." She said uncomfortably. They stopped laughing and looked at her.

"How come?"

"Um, Hojo-" Sephiroth cut her off.

"Hojo was the scientist to work on you?" He demanded. She nodded. "I shall need to kill that bastard, again."

"A...gain?"

"Just go on, what did he do?"

"Well... he tried to improve my eyesight, but only made it worse, so no, I can't see around the outside of my eyes." She said, as she continued to put the clothes away, slower this time.

"Why?"

"I was in the "Sephiroth Project". I was taken to ShinRa to become the next you, they wanted someone to be able to defeat you, and someone they could control. Didn't work too well." Sephiroth nodded.

"Good. For both." He said, smirking. Mizuki rolled her eyes.

"Gee, thanks."

"Hey, sister? How's it doing?" Loz asked.

"Hmm? How's what doing?"

"Your wound." Kadaj answered.

"Oh," she began, frowning. "It keeps opening back up."

"Let me see it." Yazoo said, walking over to her. She looked at him for a second, then lifted her shirt up a bit to show the wound. Before it was the size of a large pebble, now it was the size of a fist. "How did it get this bad?" He asked, checking the wound for infections. She tried to ignore the shiver that ran up her spin at his gentle touch.

"Well, I do keep moving, and I did hit it kind of hard on a counter." she said, looking around. Mizuki then hit her forehead. "Hang on, I think I have a cure materia." She walked over to the box and pulled out the small materia. The middle child took it from her.

"Sit down." he said. She obeyed. Yazoo knelt down by her side and cast cure three on her, and the wound instantly healed. He ran his hand carefully over the small scar that would be left. Sephiroth left. The other two following in a moment. Yazoo smiled at her, then left as well, so she could finish unpacking her belongings.

She smiled at his retreating back and put everything away in less then a half hour. Only moments later, Loz was in he doorway.

"The food's gone." She walked out and looked through everything, finding no food.

"Okay," Mizuki said. "I'll be back in a while." she said, walking out the door. Sephiroth was reading one of the many books she owned, Kadaj looking through her various objects, Yazoo was in the bedroom again, and Loz was in his room as well. She came back about ten minutes later, her arms laden with groceries. "Loz, can you help?" the remnant in question stood up from his place on the couch and eagerly helped her put everything away.

"What's for dinner?" Kadaj asked, looming over her shoulder.

"What do you want?"

"How about hamburgers?" Loz suggested. She nodded and got to work. After fifteen minutes of "Is it done yet?" by Loz and Kadaj, the burgers were done.

"Alright, you guys eat, I've gotta get ready for work." she ran off and shut the door, and came out minutes later wearing a white cocktail shirt and long black skirt with some black boots. "Okay, I'll be back around one-ish, don't leave, and we're going shopping tomorrow, gotta go, bye!" she said quickly as she ran out the door. The brothers just looked at it in shock.

Mizuki rushed, going as fast as she could to the Dancing Swords, but was about five minutes late.

"What took you?" Jake asked, filling in for her by saying she had gone to the restroom.

"Sorry, had a little trouble, well, you know about what." and that kept him quiet.

"Well, you've got Reno over there taking to that blond guy, go one and take care of them first." He said, handling the few other people there. She nodded, and walked over, pulling Reno by his pony tail.

"Ow!" he said, turning to glare at her.

"Hi, Reno."

"Hi." he rolled his eyes.

"Hello, Mizuki." the blond said, it turned out to be Rufus.

"Hey Rufus!" she said, she reached over and gave him a hug. When this week was over, she felt like a total idiot.

"A little happy today, eh?" he asked, hugging her back non the less.

"What, no hug for me?" The red head asked. She gave him one as well.

"Usual and... red wine?" she asked. They nodded. She poured the drinks and handed them to the guys, the gil already on the table. "Thanks." she said as she looked at the ten gil tip. By now, the crowd had calmed, and Jake came over.

"So, who's this?" he questioned, pointing to Rufus.

"Rufus ShinRa." Jake looked him over critically, but nodded.

"Hello." They shook hands.

"Well, Rufus, what brings you here?" Mizuki asked.

"Reno said you worked here." Rufus said.

"At least you're strait forward." she said approvingly. "So, anything interesting with my DNA?"

"Same thing as last time." he smiled. "So, how have you been all these years?"

"I was good. Can't say I missed the lab, but I did miss the few friends, such as yourself, I had there." The blond nodded.

"I can't say I don't agree." They talked on an off for the rest of the night, and at one thirty two, she was back at her flat, and she saw her brothers sleeping.

"Goodnight, you guys." she said in a whisper as she laid down in her nightgown, and fell asleep.

Okay, what did you think? Review please!
