The next morning

Although Yazoo had initially been encouraged by his conversation with Vincent Valentine , he quickly became depressed and withdrawn again. Yazoo was under the impression that he could begin his physio, and be fitted for a prostetic immediatly , but that wasn't the case.

" You have to wait at least 4-6 weeks Yazoo for your wound to heal." Vincent had informed him.

" Some people can be ready in as little as 10-14 days , but your injury was so servere it may take longer. Plus you have a broken wrist , so crutches are out of the question for you to use"

" That means I will be stuck in a wheelchair right?" Yazoo asked beginning to feel the hope he had built up quicly ebbing away. " I'm afraid so " Vincent said , " but don't feel discouraged . You can start your strenght building exercises tomorrow". Vincent left him alone after that.

That was yesterday. Today he woke up feeling depressed and discouraged. . He wasn't sure of anything anymore . His whole world had been turned upside down, all because he had let a stupid argument with Kadaj get to him . " Why didn't I inspect " Velvet Nightmare" before the race? . What was I thinking ? " he thought as a tear slipped down his cheek. " I always inspect my equipment"

" Good morning Dollface. Whatcha cryin' for ? " Came the overly enthusiastic voice of the last person Yazoo wanted to see. Yazoo looked up with a growl of annoyance to see the redheaded pain in the neck from yesterday afternoon sauntering into his room. " What do you want? " Yazoo asked Crossing his arms over his chest in annoyance." Just came in to see how you were doing. We didn't get to finish our chat from yesterday Dollface."

" Stop calling me that " Yazoo glared at Reno. " Sorry ...ok no more Dollface , How about...hmmm let me think" Reno said tapping a finger on his chin " How about silver angel?"

Yazoo rolled his eye " How about you get out of my room before I crack you over the head with my cast!? " Yazoo said , Shaking his broken wrist at Reno with a glare " Yo! don't be like that Dollface ! ' I am only here to make you happy" Reno said holding his hands up. " You want to make me happy ? Leave me alone "Yazoo said as he turned his back to Reno.

Reno bowed his head " Ok Yazoo I'll leave " . Reno walked out the door and over to the nurse's desk. Tseng was on duty today instead of Yuffie. " You ok Reno? You look like a puppy that's been kicked" Tseng said looking up at the redhead. " I'm kinda worried about that Yazoo Winters guy. He is really depressed. I want to help him but I don't know how" Reno said looking towards Yazoo's door again. Tseng smiled and nodded . Reno may have started volunteering at the hospital initially as court ordered community service , but he was the best volunteer they had. He was not the "bad boy" he made himself out to be . In fact Reno was the exact opposite. He was kind , generious and determined to cheer anyone up who needed cheering up. " Give him time Reno. He has been through a lot in his young life . He lost his parents at 7 , and now this." Tseng said standing up. " have to go check on another patient . I'll see you later Reno."

Reno thought for a few minutes , then took out his cell phone and called his best friend.

" Rude, I need you to do me a HUGH favor man . Meet me at the coffee shop lunch time to talk about it ok. " He snapped his phone shut and looked over at Yazoo's door again . " I am not giving up on you Dollface . No way!" he thought as he walked towards the elevator . The doors opened and a tall man with long silver hair stepped off into the hallway . In fact it was the same hair as Yazoo's . " Yo! you must be related to Dollface!" Reno blurted out before he realized what he had said. "Dollface ?" Sephiroth asked , confusion evident on his face . Reno blushed slightly realizing he had called Yazoo by the pet name he had tagged him with. " Uhhh I mean Yazoo. Hi I'm Reno . I volunteer here . I met Yazoo yesterday " Reno said shaking hands with Sephiroth . " Nice to meet you . I'm "Dollface's" older brother. The name is Sephiroth ." he said with a small chuckle." "Not you again! " came a voice from behind Sephiroth " You ruined my favorite jeans!" Reno looked behind Sephiroth to see the guy he had bumped into yesterday. He hadn't really noticed what he looked like until now." Wow You must be another brother huh?" Reno said . " You all have that pretty color hair?" " Kadaj your jeans were not ruined they just need to be laundered. " Sephiroth said rolling his eyes " quit being dramatic" Sephiroth looked back at Reno . " Yes, all 4 of us got it from out mother. It is a rare gene that causes the hair color. Some people mistake us for being albino , but we aren't ." Reno nodded his head in understanding " I see " he said . "Well I am off . I have an idea on how to cheer up Yazoo but it's gonna take some work. " Reno said as he pressed the button to call the elevator to the floor. " What have you got in mind Reno?" Sephiroth asked. " Not tellin' ya " Reno said dissappearing into the elevator.

Kadaj shook his head " that is one weird guy " he said heading towards Yazoo's room . " That he is Kadaj , but he seems determined to help your brother . " Sephiroth said following Kadaj.
