Title: Class is Now In Session!! (Changed cause of the name!)

Author: CerebusFire17

Warning: Contains Vincent getting stuck in the snow. A little cat that's more than just playful, and it starts following Vincent home!! TORTURE!! LOTS OF TORTURE ON SEPHIROTH'S PART. RIPPING OF FLESH!! Xu is exposed!! Yay!! Reeve wondering just what's right and what's wrong….WTF? Wakka trying to tell a story and Lulu getting pissed at him. Selphie and Rinoa find that their friend is a liar. You know, the usual. Chaos reveals what happened eleven years ago and why Vincent is to blame.

Story Summery: Yeah, I know I know!! There's been a ton of FFHSs coming out, but I've really wanted to do something like this for a long time, and none of you bastards can say a damn thing about it!!! It's pretty much about the characters of VII, along with a few from VIII (I couldn't resist!!) going to the same high school and Vincent coming back home to seek the life he left behind and even more.

Recap: Yeah…That was confusing. Vincent gets an upgrade from Quistis, Sephiroth learns that he was experimented on too, and then finds something out about Vincent in the same day!! Tifa's up to something and definitely looking to hurt somebody, Zack and Rufus made out and that was just odd. Turns out that Vincent was the one who was the Galian Beast!! Shalenda and Kimarhi showed up to take Vincent, Auron stopped them, and Edea threw them out!!

Chapter Summery: Yay!! Today is Vincent's birthday!! And all he wants is to be left alone. All he wants to do is have a day where he can just concentrate on what needs to be done. All he wants…is to get away from his friends and that's when it started to snow--BAD!!! Worse, everyone's set up a special birthday party for Vincent. Sephiroth decides to go visit his family for a few "questions". Vincent learns more about his father from Wakka and Lulu and discovers just what his name really means. Some birthday present, huh?

Most likely pairings: (Do you remember back in the days of school, how everyone liked each other, or got jealous cause their friend was spending way too much time with their boy/girl-slut? Didn't change this either!! Yeah, here's a flash back for ya!! )

Vincent/Quistis/Sephiroth

Chapter 11: Snow for my birthday… Part 1

Vincent woke up.

Not from a dream, or simply his own silly thoughts that had nothing to do with anything at all. It was…..

He'd been walking. Not as though he was going anywhere. He didn't even know that he HAD been walking, at that point. It was strange. Worse, he woke up at a terrible, terrible time: Snow. It was snowing, almost two feet of snow, and he was in only his pajama pants, and he was almost five or six blocks away from his apartment or the school. He was standing in the middle of the street of an old neighborhood, where many of the houses and buildings were torn down and/or condemned. The house he stood in front of, staring into the many broken windows, was burnt only partially. The first half of the home was torn out and near destroyed, looking more like a cannon was shot inside, instead of collapsing. The rest of the home was destroyed by the fire. Vincent watched the house carefully, not knowing just what drew him there, or why the building was so intriguing to him.

"….Vincent?" The teen turned around to see Lockhart standing behind him, holding several bags of groceries in her tiny arms and staring at him. She was wearing her school uniform coat and a red scarf, tan furry boots, and black gloves and earmuffs. The scarf covered up her face a bit, but he could still see her eyes. "What in the world are you doing out here dressed like that?!! You're going to catch a cold!!" She was scolding him?

Vincent smiled at the thought. He hadn't been yelled at for a good reason since his father…. His father…. He didn't even remember what the reason was anymore. His smile disappeared and he looked to the girl, shaking his head. "I…I'm not exactly sure."

"C'mon!! You can come to my house for a while, okay!? I don't think that Edea or Ms. Trepe would like it if you were to collapse from frost bite!" The girl handed Vincent the groceries and then wrapped her scarf around his neck, trying to help with warming him up. But Vincent didn't feel any warmer. He didn't even feel cold at that moment. He didn't feel cold at all…. He didn't feel anything…

….He didn't feel?

And it was then that Vincent found out that Lockhart and her sister Tifa lived in that old neighborhood. He hadn't realized that they were from that particular area, but by the way they dressed…. Sure, Tifa had some nice clothes, but Lockhart was dressing in her older sister's hand-me-downs. Most of her uniforms were from when Tifa's parents sent her to private schools, ones where she was thrown out of almost immediately, if not a week later. And it was funny to Tifa, but it always embarrassed Lockhart--A lot!!

Vincent stared over the home, noticing that it was furnished with very much damaged chairs, sofas, tabletops and other things. Tifa was in the kitchen, working on something while Barret had his arms around his woman, whispering things into her ear and making the two of them giggle. Marlene was at the table, coloring a cute picture, trying to stay in the lines. And then she noticed Vincent.

"Vincent!! You're here!!" She jumped from the seat and rushed to give the teen a hug. Tifa and Barret looked at him and Barret suddenly got jealous. Marlene was laughing, happy to see her friend again. And Vincent was just there. He didn't feel embarrassed or anything. He didn't feel a damn thing at all…

It was too weird….something was wrong.

"Whaddaya doin' 'ere all naked-like?!! Tryin' ta steal my bitch?!!"

"Barret!!" Tifa shouted, fists on her hips. Marlene and Lockhart both slapped their palms to their foreheads in frustration.

"Not really. I was just…walking." Vincent replied and looked around. He noticed that most of the things in the house were pretty much beat up, even the walls. Most of the walls had graffiti all over. "How long have you lived here?" He asked, but the question didn't even sound like a question, but more like a demand to gather information. Tifa and Lockhart started and then looked at each other.

"Three years. This was the house that my parents owned when I was younger, but we moved when you--Well, I mean, most of the houses, including this neighborhood, are doomed for reconstruction. The only reason they don't come and condemn our home is because I work and watch Marlene for Barret. I… We were lucky. Weren't we sis?" Tifa looked to her sister, who nodded. Then Lockhart took Vincent's arm and pulled him away to another room.

"C'mon!! Let's get you into some clothes so you don't freeze to death!!" And they were gone.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

"So….Grimoire Vincent Valentine…. The great-great-great-great grandson of someone who was originally considered dangerous, yes?" Edea sat with the teachers of the school. Well only those who she wished to speak with, anyway: Reeve, Lulu, Wakka, Scarlet, Palmer, and Auron. Auron didn't try to make eye contact with her, feeling that there was nothing he could do as of then. Scarlet, strangely enough, was keeping her mouth shut. Palmer didn't bounce once, and Wakka, Lulu, and Reeve were simply silent, not trying to make an impression at all. Edea was standing in front of the window of Shin-Ra's office, watching the snow fall gently.

"Yes, he is…." Auron said suspiciously. He wasn't sure if she actually remembered or not. She was always so cold and distant… "Does this bother you?"

"….No. As long as we keep him away from that mess of a con Shalenda…" Edea didn't turn around to look at anyone, keeping her eyes on the falling snow. "Vincent Valentine…. I wonder…."

"GOD!!" Scarlet stood up, slamming her hands on the table and glaring at Edea. Lulu was staring back at her in shock, Wakka was shaking his head and hands, knowing that it was going to end badly, Reeve looked scared out of his mind, looking between Edea and the blonde, and Auron crossed his arms and closed his eyes, trying not to even pay attention. "You stupid bitch!!" Wow, that got her attention! Edea turned and glared at Scarlet, her eyes glowing even more and the veins becoming more apparent, and her lips got a little darker than usual.

"What?" She asked calmly and Scarlet gulped. But remember, this is Scarlet and technically, she has more balls than Cid, so it only takes her a second to get her nerve back. Scarlet may be a chick who dresses slutty at times, but she knows how to back her shit up. Scarlet glared even more at the Sorceress, who wasn't impressed at all. Edea's the kind of refined chick who, well….you could have been lvl. 9999 and she'd still whip your ass with a smile. ! Yeah, I tried.

"How could you forget about us?!! We've been searching all this goddamn time, and what do you do, act like we don't know each other at all?!! I mean, have you forgotten that you and Auron were married?! He's been looking for this whole time, and then he ended up hooking up with that bitch and you know what you do?! You go fucking crazy on all of us?!! Reeve and me nearly got killed because we had to save you and him, and how do you repay us all back, after all these years of searching for you, for saving your ex? You fucking forget us, you selfish cunt!!"

Oh…..shit, she did not just use that word on a fucking Sorceress….

Edea stared at Scarlet with immovable eyes, not glaring or anything. And Scarlet started to tweak out. She didn't know what Edea was thinking, or what she was thinking about doing… Then, Edea held a finger to her lips. "I'm not entirely gone from the mind, from this is no time for you to yell about this, you know, Marie…" Scarlet and everyone blinked, and Auron looked up and stared at Edea.

The Sorceress smiled, blinking her eyes for a moment to turn her eyes a beautiful dull blue. "Did you guys really think that I forgot about you?" She closed her eyes again and she was suddenly changed into a different woman. A woman with long black hair and glasses, in a white shirt with an ascot, a red vest and skirt and high heel shoes. She adjust her glasses and gave everyone a meek, and very adorable bow. "Sorry about that you guys!! I'm still not used to being myself anymore."

"EDEA!!" Scarlet rushed up and hugged the woman, who laughed shyly as she kept adjusting her glasses. Lulu smiled at this and Wakka looked as though he wanted to start dancing and singing. Palmer was bouncing up and down and Reeve was nodding happily. As for Auron, he was standing and watching as the rest started to join Scarlet as she was bouncing up and down on Edea. He didn't dare come closer. Not now, anyway. It'd been too long, after all. Edea was happy, but she looked over at Auron and smiled, then approached the man. He stared down at her and wondered.

"Hello Auron…."

"….Edea." Auron's voice was distant, and he didn't look like he was upset with seeing her at all. He was almost….happy.

"I…. How have you been?" She suddenly stopped and started to think, a finger to her chin and she stared at the floor. "Oh…wait, stupid question, I know…. Terrible, angry, resentful…."

"…Lonely." Auron suddenly answered and Edea looked up at him from her own thoughts. She smiled at him again and tilted her head a little.

"So…are you mad? I know that this is all my fault, after all."

"No…" Auron took her hand and stared into her eyes, smiling at her. "I could never hate you, only miss you." Edea laughed at him and then they found themselves in that familiar gaze they once had long ago…

"Yo, broth'a!!" Wakka yelled. He and the rest were watching them happily. Wakka had his arm around Lulu, while Scarlet was trying to get into Reeve's arms, who was trying to get the hell away. "So, when are you going to get married again, ya?"

"Wakka…." Auron warned, but Edea giggled at this.

"I think that would be a great idea, but then again… we have other thing we have to do, you know that?"

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

"Why are we doing this, man?" Reno asked Cid, who was setting up some balloons in the room. The Turks, the Disciplinary Committee, and many others were there, helping to set up the decorations. Rude was busy blowing up the balloons, Selphie, Rinoa, and Rajin were making up several paper things that really didn't give you any reason other than they were cute for the party. And poor Cid. He was trying so hard not to concentrate on the girl across the room from him. He'd finally decided to give up on her. It was absolutely clear that she didn't care about him, so what was the point. Quistis was with helping as well, but not many were talking to her. Rinoa, Aeris, and Selphie were all giving her dirty looks, but it wasn't like she cared about them anyway.

"Cause this is fun. Besides, don't you remember what fucking day it is? Vincent's birthday!! This is the first time he's had a birthday back here since he was moved away!! Why not give him something to remember?!" Reno stared over at Rude, and the two shrugged. Cid sighed and suddenly looked over to see Quistis checking on several things. He smiled and whistled, the girl reacting and smiling at him.

"Hey!!" Cid called her over and she quickly stopped what she was doing and walked over. "How you doing, huh?"

"Couldn't be better." Quistis said, then sighed. "Hard enough having the bitch squad staring down my back all the time, though."

"They still down your fucking back? I thought they were sick of that shit."

"What do you think Cid? Aeris has changed a lot. Ever since she became the "group leader" of everyone… She treats everyone like shit….. I need to stop hanging out with you so much!!" Quistis dropped her arms and the two laughed. Cid suddenly looked over and Selphie was glaring at him. She wasn't jealous, was she?

"Hey, Quisty?" Cid suddenly said and Quistis looked at him strangely.

"Hey, you haven't called me that since we were kids." she laughed, and Cid scratched the back of his head.

"Yeah?…Sorry."

"No, it's okay. Don't worry about!" She waved a hand and Cid continued.

"Do you ever miss those days? When we were just kids and everyone got along just cause? Back in those days, Selphie and me would play all the time. And she still has that cute haircut…. When you and Tifa were always making sure that no one got hurt…."

"It's different. I know… Everyone's grown up to be either assholes, or they just forgotten about the past. At least, Vincent has an excuse now… She surprised me, though…."

"Hmm?" Reno asked, curious and Rude looked up with curious eyes under those shades.

"…When Xu found out that I was working with Edea, she was happy. She didn't get mad or disappointed…"

"You still should've told someone Quistis. That's not like you…" Cid replied and She sighed again.

"I know, But Edea restricted me from telling anyone. She was afraid that Vincent or somebody else would find out about her presence."

"Man, that sucks." Reno said, hands behind his head and whistling. Quistis smiled and then looked to Rude.

"Hey, I heard that you're going on another date with Yuffie!! Congratulations, Rude."

"Yeh…" Was all the teen said and his friends gawked at him. Quistis laughed again and then looked back at Cid. He was more sad than usual.

"Sorry Cid."

"hmm? Fer what? What the fuck did ya do now?"

"Hehehehe…. Selphie. I know how much you really liked her." Cid gave a small smile and shook his head.

"Don't worry 'bout it, Quisty. If that bitch don't notice me now, then what's the point of me trying for another six-nine years, right? It's over now…."

"I can't believe that slut Quistis!!" Selphie suddenly whispered to Rinoa after she finally stopped watching Quistis and the boys talking. She was red with fury and she was definitely jealous. Aeris wasn't close enough to hear the two girls as they talked.

"What's the matter Selphie?"

"She's over there trying to get with Cid after she went and tried to steal Vincent from Sephiroth!! Can you believe this?!" Rinoa stared over at the small group and then looked back at Selphie.

"Um… They're just talking Selphie. And I thought that you didn't like Cid. Remember?"

"Well….I-I don't!! But it's not fair to Vincent or Cid!! What a slut!!" Selphie crossed her arms and then stared at Quistis.

"But they've been friends since first grade Selphie…. Now that I think about it, we were all friends when we were little kids. I sort of wish we were all friends again you know?"

"Why? After what she and Tifa did? They're both not our friends. You know that Rinoa!! They both lied!!" Rinoa shook her head and leaned closer to Selphie.

"But we never knew what they did, other than what Aeris told us. You know that…. Don't you remember? Aeris said that Tifa and Quistis were going around and calling us stuff, but we never heard anything. And we gossip all of the time. Don't you think that it's kinda funny that the same year Tifa's parents died, she AND Quistis both went and decided that they didn't' want anything to do with us?" She'd whispered and Selphie thought about this.

"….I guess so… But she still shouldn't be flirting with Cid!!" She shrugged, and Rinoa couldn't help but sigh.

"So…you do like him, huh?"

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Vincent now wore a black coat and a scarf around his neck. He was also given some snow boots, which fit him nicely. His hair had to be tucked into the coat so he wouldn't look so silly. Now, Lockhart was basking in the victory of her assemblage of Vincent's clothing. And Vincent felt more embarrassed than when he was watching Marlene. Lockhart took out a small music box and placed it onto the table in her room. Vincent was staring around the room, taking in everything he could about the place. Lockhart noticed this and smiled.

"Do you…remember?" She asked shyly, and Vincent just stared at her.

"What do you mean?" Vincent's voice was completely monotone, no trace of humanity in it at all. Lockhart raised a brow.

"Um… My room. It used to be Tifa's, back before we moved. I can't believe you don't remember. You used to come here all the time." Vincent looked back at her and didn't feel at all fazed.

"Oh…"

/So…Quistis did use the anti-gent after all…./ Lockhart thought to herself as she watched Vincent. He was acting as though he were a robot, which was probably for the best. This way, he wouldn't remember, and even if he did remember, it would mean nothing at all. "Yeah, this was the neighborhood you grew and lived in. Everyone used to live here…until the fire. Your house, then Cid's and Reno's….and soon…. Everyone's home was destroyed, only a few remaining here now. Tifa and me had to move back here after almost seven years. Of course, I was still a baby when the fires broke out….

"They said that… A monster that rises from the heat of the flames to take the lives of those around it… Do you know what I'm talking about Vincent?"

"No…I don't." Vincent replied dryly. His voice was completely gone, void of all. He was empty and uncaring, like he wasn't even alive or had a soul anymore.

"Eleven years ago… A fire broke out while a child's parents were being taken away… Nobody knew this at the time, but the person who had the parents taken away was using the children to create something that was no longer meant to be in this world anymore. It was terrible, really. All of the innocents stolen from several children. Eleven children, to be exact, were used in these experiments and were successfully made over as the copies of the creations the person wanted. It was a terrible time. And worse… A monster was found to be killing people. One of them was a young woman, one who people cared very much about…. And now… You were the last of those who were used in that project.

"It seems that Professor Hojo and your step-mother, Shalenda were using the Daycare she and your father had established to run an underground project in order to gather all of the innocent souls needed. The only way the project would work was on innocent souls, and children are the most innocent of them all. You, however, were a great exception, giving Hojo a reason to complete his works."

"…." Vincent was just about gone, if he wasn't standing there. Lockhart walked around him and smiled.

"Turns out your blood carries something very particular, something that makes you different from the rest of us…. The blood of the Ancient Dark mages, those who could use magic without the use of Ether or Materia, something that we though was impossible. The blood of a Zetsunozuken is very dangerous if the wrong hands get to it. If you get my drift….. Stay away from your step-mother Vincent Valentine…. She'll try and use you again."

She suddenly pulled a small syringe of her own from one of her dresser drawers and walked behind Vincent. The teen looked completely frozen, almost like a statue and gone. He wasn't even in the same room as her now, his mind was shut off. She pulled up the back of his shirt and injected a green serum into his back, making sure that he didn't wake up at that time. "You'll be back to normal after this runs through your bloodstream. Quistis only gave you the first Anti-gent for Chaos. You'll need the second for the beast that you've been carrying around all day long, you know…" She moved away and hide the syringe back in the dresser and then watched Vincent.

"Galian Beast," She began, "is the servant, and it is also what you've become, by accident it seems. Yes, you contain the control that Chaos once had, but your body is becoming the host for the body of the Galian Beast as well. Hojo really wanted to make a weapon out of you it seems. Well, with this, you should be able to control Galian Beast with no problems…..

"You have another ten seconds now until you're back to normal. Let's see if you remember anything…"

"…..Uh?" Vincent took a few steps back, balancing himself against the bedpost and holding his forehead. He stared around the room, as it felt like he were just sucked into a roller coaster that just did 87 flips and rolls. He finally released his head and stared at Lockhart, who was giving him a feigned look of concern.

"Vincent? Are you alright? You look like you need to take a nap…"

"I…am fine? Where am I?" Vincent looked around, wondering exactly how he got to the place.

"Um…you walked all the way over here…in your pajamas." Lockhart said, and Vincent suddenly remembered and shrugged.

"Yes, I remember now. Thank you for the clothing."

"No problem. So?"

"Huh?"

"Do you miss it. Your old neighborhood?" Vincent thought about Lockhart's words and slowly nodded.

"I think so." He walked over to the window and stared out of it for the longest time. The snow looked beautiful for some reason. He couldn't explain it, but it was the best feeling he could ever have, watching those strange white petals of frost falling to the ground. "I didn't really recognize it when I first saw it, but I knew….in a way, I knew…"

"……Would you like to join us for dinner tonight? Tifa is really good at making spaghetti, you know."

"Yeah…. She used to make it out of play-do when we were children…."

"So…you remember me as well Vincent?" Lockhart suddenly asked and Vincent turned around to her and nodded slowly again.

"Of course, how could I forget about you….Xu."

Xu laughed at him and then nodded. It was true. The girl's full name was Xu Lerina Lockhart, Lerina after her mother and Xu after her cousin who went to one of the gardens out near Galdian Heights. The girl was responsible for the principal's job in the school, as she was assigned to do this via the Superintendent's orders, since the actual principal Shin-Ra was absolutely useless when it came to this stuff. She had been watching over the school ever since she graduated to the eighth grade and had been doing so ever since. Now, she and her equal/opposite associate were working together to make sure that the school was working properly.

At the moment, however, her associate and equal in power, Quistis Trepe, had been working alone with the Superintendent, without Xu's knowledge.

Vincent, by this time, was almost completely oblivious to what he'd just said, almost as if he'd known all the strange information all along, which wasn't the case at all. He had no idea that Lockhart was Xu or that he was even in his old neighborhood. And let's just say it: Vincent was acting weirder than anyone else in this damned story!!

"Let's go ahead and get some dinner Vincent."

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

"AAAHHHHH!! Jenova screamed before trying to cast another Gravity spell, then Sephiroth knocked her into a wall and turned to Hojo, who was laying on the floor, bleeding badly. Sephiroth had his Masamune in his hand, and a dark countenance that showed that he wasn't in the best of moods at that moment. Hojo looked up at him and couldn't help but smile back.

"What's the matter? Can't even kill your old man? If you were going to do this, why are you wasting your time now? Stop being a coward and finish the job!!" The man howled and Sephiroth cackled.

"What?… Just like you? How you used me and all of the other kids to bring back some false gods?!! You're an idiot, Father, and you need to be punished. If Mother hadn't been involved with your little experiments….she'd still be alive, and now….we both want the same thing."

"And that Cough, cough would be?" Blood spilled from Hojo's lips and Sephiroth cackled again. He raised his sword as if to strike, but instead, grabbed Hojo by the collar and pulled him into a seat, then grabbed a chair himself and stared menacingly at the man. Sephiroth was curious, of course, about how long it would take for him to make his father start pleading for his life, but he wanted to know just how manipulative he could be….without any help from materia.

"What was the project you subjected me and six others to? All I know is that it was to return the last of the old WEAPON race. And if I remember correctly, there were only seven of the WEAPON left on the planet. So, you wanna tell me what it was that possessed you to experiment on children?!!"

"AHEHEHEHEHEhehehehehe…..hehehehe…..heh…heh…" Hojo's laugh was ugly, blatantly showing that he didn't care and wasn't willing to give out anything to do with what the boy wanted. And Sephiroth knew that, indeed. The teen took Hojo by the hair and slammed his head on the counter top next to where were sitting, then, after Hojo was done screaming his head off from the pain, Sephiroth took him again and sat him in the chair.

"Apparently, somebody didn't understand the question they were given to ask. I specifically said that--without hesitation, mind you--I needed some information. I came to you as your child, the child you took in when my mother had died and you had taken the responsibility that came with taking in a child, and what do you do? Why, you deny that child the right to ask a question. Now--" Sephiroth suddenly reached over and broke his adoptive father's arm in three spots.

Hojo started to screaming bloody murder while Sephiroth simply watched him writhe on the floor in agony. He didn't feel anything, since the man wasn't really his father. Of course, it's hard to tell with Sephiroth. Hojo could actually be his father and he still wouldn't give a damn that he'd broken the man's arm, so what did it matter. After hearing this for a long while, Jenova finally woke up to see her husband's arm, between his wrist and his elbow, bent in three different direction . She screamed and Sephiroth glared at her wildly.

Jenova raised her hand, preparing to cast another spell, when she found Sephiroth standing right in front of her, seamlessly moving before her unnoticed. She also didn't see his arm coming down and striking her unconscious again, blood dripping from her forehead. Hojo stared over at Jenova and screamed again, but it wasn't a terrified or pained scream, but a scream of anger and impatience.

Hojo was mad at his wife.

"You stupid whore!! You're just as worthless as that other girl!! How hard is it to kill this bastard?!!" Sephiroth looked back at Hojo and glared.

"What did you say….daddy?" He walked back over to Hojo and crouched down in front of the man, who was trying to crawl away until Sephiroth caught his leg and yanked him back. "I asked you…." He trailed off just before he placed the tip of his sword atop Hojo's leg. "..a question!!" Sephiroth shoved his sword into Hojo's leg, the man releasing a well suppressed howl that could rival Vincent's beast, until he heard it click against the tiled floor. Sephiroth smiled cheerfully at him. "What's the matter Father?"

"You're crazy!! YOU'RE CRAZY!!" Hojo shouted and Sephiroth sighed disappointedly.

"Father, Father, Father…. Every time you don't answer a question…" He pulled the sword, that was still lodged in Hojo's leg mind you, down and cutting more deeper inside. Hojo kept screaming as his blood spilled on the floor. "….I'll have to cut the flesh off of your bone…. And believe me: I WILL ENJOY DOING IT VERY MUCH!! TELL ME WHAT I WANT TO KNOW!!… Unless you really do want to be just flesh and bones like everyone says that you are--with the exception of flesh…." Sephiroth laughed again, and this time it was genuine. Hojo growled at his adoptive son and looked over at Jenova.

"Alright….What do you want from me?!"

"Didn't you hear the first time, old man? Answers…. Sephiroth smiled again and pulled the sword a little out. Hojo growled loudly and glared at his Sephiroth again. "What was the project….and who is this girl you were talking about? What does she have to do with Jenova? And what about that boy's parents? The ones you set up to take the murder."

"I don't know what you're talking about…" Hojo said quickly, mostly towards the last question. So the sword was pushed back down and further between the flesh and bone of the leg. "AAAAHHHH!!! ALRIGHT ALRIGHT!! The project was to prove that the monster that the planet created called WEAPON did not exist, but it turned out that it did indeed exist and we needed to show that they could be recreated within humans so that they could become…."

"…Become what Father..?" Sephiroth's voice was dull and monotone. Hojo looked up at him and narrowed his eyes. Sephiroth did the same back. "I don't care if you're not a liberty to speak of it. I want answers and I want them now." he laughed and dragged the sword further down the man's leg. "And if you don't tell me what I want to know, I'm going to have to start torturing you, and believe me…this isn't even the worst I can do to you. I'm actually being nice. Tell me what I need to know Father."

"An experiment military group. They were supposed to be used as the first generation of a new army called SOLDIER. We were supposed to use the WEAPON DNA as an asset and enhancer for the SOLDIER members as they were in their infancy, as children, so that way, when the time came, they would have no objection being taken into the government. But the WEAPON DNA was unstable in many of the children. And it turned out that only those who use that ridiculous magic or own the magic in their blood can actually be conduits for the evolutionary change."

"They have to be the protective covers for cable wires?" Sephiroth asked, obviously not one to read the dictionary.

"Conveyors of information, nimrod. They held the data inside them needed to create more SOLDIER armies, but unfortunately, that whore of a mother of yours reported me and my experiments before the WRO council. Luckily, she was already dead before they could get anymore information from her. I saw to that…."

"What the hell is the WRO?"

"The World Regenesis Organization. It's the name of that miserable group who's tried to destroy my work and that of my colleagues. They go and destroy whatever they deem dangerous to the planet like the psychopaths have any right to tell me what to do with my experiments!! I am the genius!! I am the one who decides what is best for this planet…. So, I had to make them pay for their interference, by getting rid of their evidence…."

"And how did you do that?"

"…By injecting the needed evidence into ten perfect specimens. One of them included you, that boy and his sister." Sephiroth stared at Hojo with confusion.

"Whose sister?"

"Ehehehehehe…. N.Y.O.B. That is only meant for me and me alone, and nothing you can do can make me tell…."

So, Sephiroth pulled his sword all the way through Hojo's leg until his flesh was completely ripped and hanging off the bone of his leg. And Then he went to his right arm and started to do the same process again, only more slowly. Hojo screamed and screamed, flailing his remaining leg and broken arm until Sephiroth knocked in back against the counter.

"Shut up!! Didn't I tell you that I would get what I want from you one way or another? Either you tell me, or I'll find all of your work and destroy it right in front of your miserable body. Believe me when I say that you are nothing compared to me. Do you really think that your stupid wife will save you now?… But let's make this easier for you Father: What did you do to Grimoire Vincent Valentine? I know that there's something very strange about him. I can feel it. It's threatening me in everyway, and I find that very attractive, you know Father. Care to explain?"

"Hehe… Valentine? You mean that boy who carries the singular genes of two master WEAPON."

"The master WEAPON? What are they?"

"They are the threat of the other five WEAPON, But the WEAPON were separated into seven different catalysts. You just happen to be the trigger for all of them. And just wait…. Soon, they will all return and kill everyone… Just as I designed it--AHH!"

"I didn't ask you about me, so please stay on subject. Why is the master WEAPON the threat of the others?"

"It can kill without mercy…. It's power comes from the fact that it was born from the very planets core and use any spell it pleases. Only Chaos the Master can control the Servant Galian Beast. And that boy has no idea what will happen when WEAPON is reunited once again……"

"…..What else aren't you telling me about Father?"

"Hehehe….How stupid are you?! Stop asking so many questions and figure all of this out for yourself!! You're irritating me to tears."

"And you are going to cause me to kill you, and I'm not going to let that happen unless I have some more questions."

"Je-Jenova…. She is modeled after your mother."

"What ?!!" Sephiroth stared at Hojo in disbelief and then looked to Jenova, and back. It was almost enough to shatter Sephiroth's mind at that point, that Jenova was, in basic terms, a clone of his own mother, though she didn't really look like her at all. "Have you lost your mind?!! Why should I believe you?!!"

Hojo smiled evilly…..

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Vincent started to walk back home alone, after he politely declined from Tifa's dinner. He didn't particularly want to be a bother to anyone at that point and he'd rather stay at home anyway. He was only half-way home when he realized--Today was his birthday. And he hadn't realized that he it was already October.

"….October 13, XX34.… Who would've thought…" Vincent referred to his own date of birth. It was hard for him to believe that he was already seventeen now. It had been eleven years after all….even more, but still…. It felt like the world had stopped during those years, that time had completely halted so that he could suffer for so long, to keep those memories for so long. "….Huh. Just what do I remember from that time? I can't remember my mother an father's faces… My step-mother and father both beat the shit out of me at any given point… I just now found my old neighborhood…. Wait…" Vincent looked around him and bolted down the street, back down the same street that his house was on.

He stopped in front of the house and stared at it for the longest time. "How did I know that this house was here? I didn't know anything about this city except for the school…." Vincent asked himself.

/Why don't you go in and find out for yourself Valentine?/ It was Chaos, his voice was still echoing, but it was more human and deeper than Vincent's. Vincent couldn't believe that he was hearing the voice. He sighed gently and then stared around to see if anyone else was in the area.

"Chaos….Where have you been? I haven't heard your voice in almost a month."

/Aw…you aren't growing attached to me now, are you?/

"…No, I was just curious. And what happened to your voice? You sound like….like…"

"Like you?" Vincent stared straight ahead for a moment, not sure if that was in his voice was still in his head or behind him. But the footsteps confirmed what the latter brought and he looked back to see a tall man with pitch-black skin, glowing yellow eyes, and waist-length white hair. The demon was dressed in elegant crimson and onyx armor and sharp claws that glistened in the dull snowy light. It stepped over to Vincent and smiled evilly at the teen. "Hello Vincent…"

"….Chaos? You're Chaos?" Vincent asked in a monotone voice. The demon before him smirked, revealing his deadly fangs to the youth. Vincent wasn't intimidated, but did back away from Chaos as it took a few steps closer to him. Chaos stared at Vincent carefully, taking note of the youth and making sure that he wasn't mistaken.

"I am…the Master WEAPON, known as Chaos to you mortals…. So, you are the third in line? Interesting that you look like your predecessor before you my master."

"What are you talking about? I'm third in line? What the hell does that mean?" Chaos crossed his arms, and Vincent suddenly realized that there was a large red cape that was draped down Chaos' back, a cape that was decorated with rigid, dark black stripes that fell all the way down and were capped by very realistic-looking talons. Vincent could've sworn that those were the devil's own wings if he were close enough to actually see them. Chaos, however wasn't about to let the teen see just what exactly he was and looked at the old home that had burned down long ago.

"This…This was your home? Do you even remember?"

"…..No. Just barely. I remember that…the walls were a very light blue, and that my mother loved that color. I think it was because she didn't have blue eyes, but my father and I did….. I was born…with blue eyes…."

"You're starting to remember, then? Good. It's about time. I was starting to worry about you, Valentine. It's been over 120 years since we last met like this…"

"What? What are you talking about? I only knew about you a month ago, and you were only a voice in my head!!" Vincent pointed at his head to elaborate his meaning. " You're nothing but a mental delusion!! I don't even know why I'm talking to you now…"

"Your full name…. Grimoire Vincent Valentine… Tell me, how long have you known that your name has a real meaning? How long has it been since you're power has returned to you Grimoire? Your child is losing his mind and you are just one step closer to sealing his fate… Or is your fate already sealed that you wish to destroy this one's life as well?" Chaos stopped and glared at Vincent carefully, making sure to take great care of what he was telling the teen.

"Are you…. Who are you talking to? My name is Vincent Valentine!! Why is everyone calling me Grimoire?!!"

"Vincent?…"

Vincent turned around to see Lulu and Wakka with their son. Wakka was wearing his winter coat, as was his son, while Lulu wore her usual black dress, since she was born in a region of an everlasting winter. Wakka also had Vivi on his back and was smiling at his nephew. Lulu was smiling as well, but still looked a bit suspicious. Vincent looked back to where Chaos was standing, but the demon wasn't there any longer. He went back to his relatives and walked over to them. Lulu immediately crossed her arms and stared at the boy carefully, while Wakka laughed.

"Hey there nephew!! What you doing here….in pajama pants?" Everyone stared down at Vincent's pants and blue bunny slippers that were dangling from the catch attached to his coat, and the teen shook his head.

"I have no idea at this point." He suddenly looked back at the ruined house and felt the need to ask. "I used to live here…didn't I? That's what they told me." Wakka and Lulu stared at each other, a little taken back.

"Who told you that?" Wakka asked. Vincent didn't look back.

"The Lockhart girls. They remember me as one of their next door neighbors… I can remember them coming over to Barret's house or Cloud's. They would never play with me, though. Everyone thought that I was weird. And Cid… He was my only friend….. How can I remember all of this, but I don't even know about my own fucking name!!?" He turned back around, only to get slapped by his aunt.

"Do not…curse like that in front of my son like that…" Vincent rubbed his face and wished he could mutter something, had it not been for the fact that his aunt had excellent hearing. Lulu suddenly straightened herself and looked to her young son. "Vivi, you remember your older cousin Vincent, don't you?" The little black mage stared at Vincent for a moment and then shook his had and hid his face against his father's shoulder. Lulu laughed. "I'm sorry. Vivi's a bit shy, it seems. I didn't think he would be this way with you. He's usually good with people."

"It doesn't matter…." Vincent stared at Vivi and then looked to Wakka. "Wakka, I have a question to ask."

"Ya? And what's that?"

"Was my father anything like you?" That was probably the first time anyone heard Lulu laugh so heartily like that EVER…. Vincent, Vivi, and Wakka stared at her and then each other, wondering if they would have to run at anytime. When she finally stopped, Wakka had already whispered to Vivi to try and set his mother on fire.

"…I'm sorry. I found that entirely amusing."

"As we saw…" Vincent said, still looking over at Wakka, who looked a little nervous as well.

"You don't honestly think that Wakka and your father were the same, do you?" Vincent shrugged.

"They're brothers. Shouldn't they act the same way in some cases?" Lulu shook her head.

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Vincent was now in the family care, he in the back Vivi, while Wakka was driving. He sat there quietly, thinking about what Lulu had said about his father, trying to figure out just what she meant. Sure, she had mentioned that Wakka and his father weren't exactly alike, but he really didn't know what the hell caused her to laugh like that.

"So…What was my father like?" He asked, this time a different way. Lulu glanced back and smiled at him.

"Well, he was a completely gentlemen, quiet, always working hard to become something stronger that anything else. He was a graceful fighter…"

"My father was a fighter?" Vincent's eyes lit up and his curiosity was revived suddenly.

"Yes… He'd been a fighter ever since he was twelve… I even remember that day when I met him….

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Flashback--Twenty-four years earlier

Your father was only eight when he came to our village. He was young, handsome….you look a lot like him, really.

Wait, my father wasn't from the area?

No, he was born on Besaid Island, where Wakka was from. Your father just happened to be fishing outside the shores of his island when a storm hit and he was thrown all the way to the higher mainland. He was brought all the way to the other side of the world…. It was amazing that he even survived.

A young boy of twelve stood at the cliff's edge, holding a mage's staff and staring off at the distant ocean. He was dressed in a red vest and very dull red shirt, with brown pants and black boots. He watched the waves crash into one another as the sun was setting. His black hair had a few hints of white and grey, and his blue eyes were moving rapidly everywhere.

"Grimoire!!" A young girl with long black hair and dark violet eyes ran up to him, along with her sister, a girl with black hair and blue eyes. They were both dressed in brown and grey dresses, but the first girl had dyed parts of her outfit black. The older sister approached him slowly and smiled. "Grimoire!! What are you doing out here? Father said that it was going to start raining soon."

"Sorry… I was just wondering if… My family would find me or not." Grimoire looked back out at the ocean and became lost in his thoughts.

Wait a minute. My father's name is… is Grimoire?

The Second Grimoire in his family. He was named after his father, but you were actually named after your great-grandfather, Vincent Grimoire Valentine. Your mother rearranged your name, however, so you wouldn't forget where you came from. Your mother was always thinking about you…

"So, will you join us for dinner?" The second girl asked. Her hair had recently been cut short, to her ears and neck, and she smiled brightly at the other child. Grimoire smiled back.

"Aye, I will…."

"Did you hear that Lulu? He's going to join us!!" The girl said and the other girl, Lulu, nodded.

"This is good. We always love to have you for dinner Grimoire! Let's go and get ready."

"Alright." Grimoire said and the three children quickly ran back to the two sister's houses.

The girls went inside while Grimoire waited outside….

So, my father waited for you two?

That's right, but that was when he was confronted by Wakka. It turned out that his family had been looking for your father after all. Wakka was from Besaid, but your grandfather had gone and moved to a more populated mainland area so Wakka could get used to being around strangers and making friends. I believe that he also wanted to continue his search for your father as well…

Ya!! We were just stating to think that your dad was a goner, ya.

Be quiet Wakka….

Yes dear.

A boy with orange hair and wearing yellow overalls walked in to the small wintery village, shivering to death because he wasn't used to the cold weather. "Aw….why did pa have to move us so further up north?! It's too cold to be out here!!"

"Who are you?" Grimoire was suddenly standing behind the boy, his mage staff in hand. Lulu and her younger sister were standing behind him, watching carefully as to what would happen. The boy turned around and laughed.

"The name's Wakka. Nice to meet ya!!"

"This is Lulu and her little sister, Eddie. My name is Grimoire." Wakka gasped dramatically and stared carefully at the boy.

"No way!! Grimoire Valentine?!!"

"How… do you know my name?" Grimoire asked and Lulu and Eddie stared at each other.

"Wow!!… We've been looking for you for so long.. You're my broth'a…."

"Your brother….? So…I really do have a family?"

"This is great!!" Eddie shouted happily, hopping up and down in the air as she celebrated for Grimoire. Wakka quickly rushed over and gave his brother a hug, whom was quick to try and tell his brother that he wanted air.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

"Wait, that sounds way too easy for it to happen like that!!" Vincent yelled and Lulu looked back at him.

"What ever do you mean by that?"

"Wakka and my father just happened to see each other in your home village and then they automatically knew that they were brothers? And my father was there since he was eight, so there was no way for anyone to tell that he was indeed from the Besaid islands because he most likely lost his accent by that time. After all, he wasn't found until he was twelve, right?" Vincent crossed his arms and waited.

"Not exactly Vince." Wakka said. "See, our dad wasn't all that happy to see that your dad was actually alive. Yeah, he and I had been looking for him for all those years, but dad…. He never really wanted to find your dad at all. He kinda blamed him for what happened to our younger broth'a Chappu."

"Chappu? I have another uncle?"

"Well, you would've if he hadn't died. He went out on his own in a boat cause he wanted to go fishing and no one would go with him. At first, he was okay, but it started to get hot. So, he decided to go for a swim…….."

"……"

"He didn't…. He didn't know about the undertow….." Wakka's voice was dark and quiet. Lulu stared out the window while Vincent kept his eyes on the back of Wakka's head. Vivi was sleeping by now, so it was possibly better to get the story more elaborated. "….Grimoire's only two years older than me, but dad thought that since he was only one home other than our mom, he should've been more responsible for what happened to Chappu. That was also the same day that your dad went and drifted off to sea. He used to tell me that he didn't belong somewhere that nobody cared about.

"So… he thought that he was at fault for his younger brother's death?" Vincent asked, and Wakka nodded.

"And man, oh man!! Dad was really ready to kill him when he found out that your dad was still alive after all of that!! I couldn't believe it really. Dad still blamed him for everything… Even tried to have somebody go out and kill the man… It got really bad when your mother got involved too."

"My mother?"

"….She was already powerful, and she was teaching your father how to use magic. But he rejected the art of magic in order to become a warrior, a swordsman…. He was very strong at that. It's hard to believe that he could ever lift that sword, better yet that he was able to protect her…" Lulu said suddenly, smiling at her nephew. She turned back to the front and stared out the window. "Of course, you probably wouldn't know this, but your grandfather was a sorcerer. He was powerful as well…but I didn't think that my sister would be able to stop him from trying to kill your father…."

"….My grandfather… He was that angry?"

"Of course he was!!" Chaos was sitting next to Vincent, who jumped at the sight of the demon. And yes, those were wings on his back, not a cape as the teen originally thought. Lulu glanced back at Vincent, who was staring at….absolutely nothing. Now, Chaos was drinking some scolding hot tea as he sat near Vincent, who was panicked and wondering why his aunt hadn't tried to kill the demon yet. "If you think that your aunty can see me, your wrong."

"What are you--" Chaos raised a talon to his mouth.

"Shh! Remember: I am only in your mind. The second Anti-gent has begun it's work."

/The second Anti-gent? What the fuck?!!/ Vincent thought. Chaos smiled at him.

"Smart boy. Now, make sure not to look too obvious, or else you'll make yourself look even more crazier than ever."

/What do you want with me now?/

"Well…You can't seem to remember anything about your past at all, so I suppose that I'll have to help you out with that."

/And how are you going to do that?/

"For the past two generations before you, I have been the faithful alter-ego of your father and grandfather. Of course, your father was the only one who was ever able to keep his sanity."

/What do you mean by that? You mean that my family has a case of insanity in it?/ Vincent asked sarcastically and the demon cackled at him.

"Silly boy. The insanity is from the resistance of submission. If you refuse to submit to me, the Master, then you shall have nothing but suffering for the rest of your life."

/Is that a threat?…./

"Not at all. It gets boring to rule over every being that comes unto my lands. You see, your father and brother both share the same mother, a child of the Besaid islands, but the father of your father is not of Wakka's or that of your late uncle. Of course, nobody knows about that, now do they?"

/…..Wakka and my father are half-brothers?/

"Very good. You see, your grandfather, The original Vincent Valentine was the son of one Grimoire Valentine, hence your full name. Now, your grandfather was insanely stubborn when it came to obeying me, his father did a very good job at defying my word, but your grandfather had a will like no other. You look just like him too…. Which brings out forth another dilemma which I will express much later. Now, Vincent Valentine, he was something…. He fought me for so long, he didn't want to submit, fearing that I would do the same to his only son."

/My father?/

"Exactly…. Now, what happened was this: Because he did not submit, Chaos was brought out of him and tore him to shreds. His only child and widow were left all alone in the world. And what were they to do? They were alone on the island, no one to help them at all….until Wakka's father came into the picture. He was a strange man indeed, but he worked. Now, I didn't like the man, so I made a deal with your father after your uncle Chappu died."

/And that was?/ Chaos smiled at him darkly.

"Your father was obsessed with the sea, but he wished to venture it without concern that anyone would look for him in the end if he never returned. I made promise that he would be able to travels the seas all he wanted….he just needed to forget, is all…" Chaos stared over at Wakka and grinned darkly at him. "Wakka was the only memory I allowed for him to have retained over the years. That was all that was required."

/But why?… Why did you do this to my family?/

"…..I wanted revenge…."

/Revenge?/ The demon smiled wildly and stared at Wakka and Lulu.

"Yes….you see? These two were just the part of it. And that man was the only reason why I even chose them."

"I don't understand…." Vincent said out loud. Lulu looked back at him through the rear-view mirror, a bit concerned.

"Well…Who do you think sent the man to kill your father in the first place? Hojo, of course."

"….Hojo?" Vincent whispered, when he caught his aunt's eyes in the mirror. She'd looked away swiftly before any more attention could be drawn.

"Hojo had been looking for evidence of us--WEAPON, as you mortals have called us. After he'd killed his partner, Professor Gast, he decided to find the former locations of our kind. He found in his partner's reports that I had descendants that resided within the mortals of the island your father was from. Now, I don't know where they got that from, I think they that man was on some sort of delusional drugs or something like that, but--"

/Hojo sent a man to go and kill my father?/

"No, no, no!! See, now, you're getting too far ahead of yourself. Now listen: Hojo sent an agent to go and find out any information about the strange tribe of the Besaid island, but the agent didn't find anything at all. Hojo was so angered by that, he abandoned his agent there and left him stranded on the island, making sure that he couldn't make the trip back to the mainlands of course. After all, nobody wants a snitch to ruin their experiments."

/……/

"He stayed there, with your grandmother. Your grandfather died long after your father was born, but it wasn't long that the man took over as his father-figure. And….well, after the other two were born shortly after, the man started to lose his mind in a way…."

/….what did you do?/

"Not I… Hojo." Chaos' smile had disappeared, his actions and tone complete somber. "Hojo wasn't a fool. He knew that there would be a chance that the man would come in contact with one of those who just happened to carry some kind of my traits. That was the plan all along, but he'd never dreamed of actually entering and expanding into the only family that actually carried and utilized 28 of, what Hojo liked to call, Chaos' Stain."

/And why is that?/

"Who knows…. Hojo is insane, but he's not stupid. This man, once completely secured in that family, well…. Hojo made contact with him again, threatening to kill everyone on the island, including his little family, if he didn't hand over the purebred Chaos' Stain. The purebred just happened to be your father, little Valentine…."

/…../

"He refused…. So he was punished, by the death of his youngest child."

/Hojo killed him….?/

"Oh, yes… But it wasn't by Hojo himself, but that strange wife of his….Jenova. Of course, back then, she didn't look as she did now."

/What do you mean by that?/

"Well….She's not exactly human…a creation, a failure in recreating on of the WEAPON, but kept around as it held an intellect that showed common sense and human thinking patterns. She was perfect…."

/…..So then…what happened?/

"It was a simple warning, in Hojo's eyes anyway. Not like life ever mattered to that mortal, anyway. How strange it is for one of your own kind to act in such a way. Such an antagonism…."

"And that man?" Vincent, again, wasn't paying attention to anyone else in the vehicle and spoke out loud. And Lulu looked back at him with concern, then back to the road. Chaos caught her eyes and smiled.

"Well… Hojo was going to make the threats real, so he had to make sure that the boy would indeed make it to the mainlands. So, the threat of death proved to be a great motivation for any child… Your father ran, out on the ocean, and actually managed to survive. He arrived to your mother and aunt's village, only to be assaulted by the man who went to kill him in the first place."

/….So, Hojo wanted my father that badly, but the man who adopted my father as his own wanted his blood./

"That's right…. You see, humans are so foolish that they believe that placing blame on the innocent will bring them satisfaction. And yet, it never shall. Revenge is only meant for the strong and without a conscience. Anyone else who attempts this….well, they feel the after-effects of this shortly after. But, onward to the story… Your father, he was strong, as is that one Wakka, even though he's a moron. And their poor mother…. How sad it was that she was kill at his hands, without either of her sons knowing it…. And they'd been searching for her for so long as well…."

/…..What …happened to me? My family, my mother and father? What did Hojo do to us?/

"Ahh… the question I had been waiting for. Well…at the time, I was sealed away from your family's bloodline, as it was much stronger to resistance with the Zetsunozuken's magic in the way. When Hojo found out about your little family, he decided to send that bint you love so much to inject the proper chemical agents to help increase the magic use within your body, hoping that it would cause me to return back to this realm of mentality.

The experiment was going along perfectly, nothing was amiss at all. But it was soon noticed by your own mother that your physical features were changing drastically, and you were acting much more mature than you'd once been. Believe me, you were a nasty little bastard up until your fifth birthday. Did you ever wonder why all of those children would beat up on a very timid child without particular reason? After all, even I would want you dead! Of course, as soon as the Second Agent was injected, you began to become my original partner in crime: The true Vincent Valentine. Hehehehe…. What they didn't know was that I wasn't the only one that woke up…." Chaos gave a toothy grin, one that was vile, evil…revealing.

"My faithful servant, the Galian Beast has always been by my side at all times. And it just so happened that he resided within the family as well, but he was not to be awaken at any cost…. And that fool Hojo really thought that he could control that woman, hehehehe….."

/What do you mean?/

"Sabotage." Vincent's eyes widened a little when he heard this, and leaned closer to hear more of this. Chaos smirked at this and he cleared his throat. "That bint you love so much…. She was much smarter than what others could think. She was actually the one who searched for information of my greatness." Chaos' voice sounded smug and Vincent almost wanted to scoff, but held back the urge and continued to listen. "See, she thought that it would only be research, and Hojo had carefully explained to her that the injections she was giving would help you grow more and more…. Too bad that they were actually laced with tiny particles of Manipulate materia, which his wife could easily use to control you when you came of age. He wanted power, and his Jenova was a perfect remote control for this.

"When that bint found this out, she became enraged and decided that she would do something to destroy his work. Hell hath no fury like a woman scorned. She felt betrayed and angered, that she could be used to control an innocent child, so she started adding things to the agents…. What she added was something that wasn't supposed to be used--Galia Materia, something that was forbidden even in my reign. It's very few in the world and used like many of the Aeon summon stones that you mortals use. It summons my servant to destroy all in sight.

"On the first night of this use, your eyes and hair changed, permanently. But after the second dose, that was when it happened."

/What happened?/

"The fire that sent your father away. You were studying and she injected you again….when Hojo came to take you away. He felt that the experiment was complete and it was time to end everything and collect his sweet treasure, but that bint stopped him…. She injected her own agent: Galia materia, 1/5 percent complete. That was the completion trigger to bring my servant back into this world, but unlike me…he came become a physical being. You became my servant and began to decimate the entire house, setting it on fire, and it wasn't the only one…."

/The other houses of that neighborhood…. I did that?/

"Technically, yes, but my servant was the majoring factor in the decimation of everything. You just happened to be the body he needed to do this. Too bad your father arrived back at that time."

/What happened to him, Chaos?/

"He came in, trying to find you, and found the beast about to kill that bint. He actually managed to rescue her and knock you out. He found out that you were indeed my servant and saved you afterwards. How unfortunate that Hojo was there…." Vincent's eyes suddenly because dull and he remembered something that he'd forgotten long ago.

"Vincent!!"

His father called as he laid the little boy on the ground. He stared at him for the longest time as the flaming houses around them rose higher and higher. Vincent was staring up at his father, staring into those strangely darker eyes, then he looked over at Lucrecia, who was in shock of what had happened. She was looking down at him and then at everything else. The destruction was great and fierce….and she was smiling.

"I….I can't believe this!!" She exclaimed, almost laughing. Vincent's father shot a violent glare at her as she continued. "Look at all of this!! This is all….from my own genius!! I'm so great… If not for me, this subject would never have gained such power!! This is my greatest work yet. Not even Hojo could bring such awesomeness to me…. And my son… What will he be capable of when I inject this same serum into his own veins…. He'll be the strongest ever…. My own son…."

"You!!?" Vincent's father stood up and glared at the girl, who suddenly shook off her amazement and took a step back. "You did this to my son? My son?!! How could you? We trusted you!! And you go and do this to us?!!"

"This is what Hojo wanted, and then it became my experiment!! Your son is more powerful because of me. He'll be a legend, and now…. Hojo will never have any chance of stealing Chaos from you."

"Chaos? What are you talking about? What is Chaos, and what does it have to do with my son?!"

"….You…have no idea about…Chaos?" Lucrecia gasped. She stared down at Vincent, who looked half dead and his breaths were shallow. "But….but Hojo said that… he was only after your family so that he could extract Chaos and use it as his own weapon… Are you saying that….Chaos does not exist within your family? No, he must!!"

"Even if whoever or whatever you're talking about does exist, look at what you've done to my son…. He's dying because of your stupid idea to experiment on my child!! Who else have you done this to? Who?!!"

"…..Chaos does exist….I know it. It has to…."

"Lucrecia… And you would do this to your own son? What happens if your son becomes like this?"

Lucrecia looked down at Vincent, who looked as if he were about to die, and felt for the child as he laid there. She looked at Vincent's father and nodded.

"I….I'm so sorry…. I am so, so sorry……….. Sephiroth! I have to get Sephiroth!! I have to---" A shot rang out and Lucrecia lunged forward, as the bullet went through her chest and into Vincent's father's right shoulder. She fell to the ground and the man fell to his knees, not seeing Hojo walk over and take Vincent into his arms.

"Stupid fool… Did she really think that she could ruin my experiment so easily?" Hojo laughed maniacally and then turned his attention to the man on the ground. He threw the gun down next to him and smiled. "Now, wouldn't be a shame if your son didn't live to see his next birthday? After all, most children are so easily adapted to having only one parent, even when that parent is in prison….Ehehehehehe….. Now, be a good mongrel and take that gun. Make sure all your prints are all over it and stay right there, next to the body…. I'll make sure that your little mutt stays alive….for now anyway, Ehehehehehehehe….!"

And Hojo walked away with Vincent, the boy looking back at his father with sad eyes….

Vincent gasped and looked around, to see that Chaos was no longer there, nor was he in the car with Lulu and Wakka. He was outside on his old street, staring at the street. He looked around and realized that he was right in front of his burned down home again. "Was….was it all a dream?"

"….Meeeeeoooowwww….."

"….What the…." Vincent looked down and saw a strange looking kitten. It was black, but it's paws, face, tummy and the tip of it's long, long tail were as white as the fallen snow. Vincent blinked a few times, swearing that this was the kitten he's had when he was a little boy. It looked exactly like it. The only difference was the fact that the kitten's eyes were closed, as if it were blind, but he knew that it was looking up at him. He was sure of it.

Vincent picked up the kitten and held it close, almost feeling nostalgia setting in his heart and he smiled at the feline. "Hello there…." The kitten mewled again and began purring loudly. "Wow….just like him…." Vincent searched his body, making sure that the kitten didn't have any identification on it. "Nope, you're homeless….just like me. Would you like to stay with me until you get your own place?" And Vincent began walking, the kitten in arms, back to his apartment….

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Two people clad in black, spy-like outfits were trying to climb down the roof window of a large house, namely Hojo's, when the taller one fell right on top of the shorter and the two of them fell on the ground hard. "Goddamn it Eric!!" the shorter one whispered and scampered to get out from underneath of her partner. The taller one shushed his partner.

"Faithanne!! This is a private and very sensitive operation!! You're not supposed to be using our real names.

"Eric, we could've just walked through the front door since his car isn't here, and neither is his wife's!! And this was your idea, remember? Why are we going through the roof anyway?"

"I dunno, cause it's so exciting!!" He laughed and so did the shorter one. "Okay, so, um….what are we supposed to be doing again?"

"DeLyse said--"

"Bloodhound."

"What?" The shorter one, Faithanne, asked. Eric took off his mask and shushed her again.

"We all have code names now. DeLyse is Bloodhound, I'm Sexy-spy, and you're the Black Ninja."

"….Why am I the Black Ninja? Why can't I be the Sexy-Spy?"

"Because I bring all the sexy boys to the yard!!" the two laughed their heads off for a few minutes and then went back to being serious. Eric and Faithanne began to tiptoe through Hojo's attic, searching for something that would prove useful for them.

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Vincent poured a dish of milk, and sat it on the floor for the little kitten. He watched the tiny animal meow happily and quickly lapped up the white liquid. The teen found himself smiling at the animal, remembering his own kitten doing the very same thing as it was rewarded with milk. His kitten disappeared long before the fire and he never really knew what'd happened to the poor thing. He really did miss the thing a lot. After the kitten had finished, it turned around and stared up at Vincent, mewling sweetly at him. Vincent ran two fingers across the kitten's head back and forth, listening to it purr quietly.

"So… just where did you come from? Hm?" Vincent tilted his head and watched the kitten rub it's face against his hand. "And what should I call you?…" Vincent stared around the apartment, wondering just what he should say now. After all, he wasn't used to having very favorable company--particularly ones that didn't talk-- and he wasn't sure what he should do now that he had a cat in his home. Luckily, his landlord didn't mind having pets.

Convenience.

Vincent closed his eyes and started to let his mind wonder, as he always did. It was almost a way of letting his brain relax from all the work it really did. Vincent always thought about everything, and sometimes he would get a headache from it. So, if he didn't do this, he'd probably have a migraine. But his wondering was interrupted by a very furry substance in his face, particularly rubbing against his nose. When he opened his eyes, he'd thought it was the cat's face, but instead, it was the cat's ass right on his nose.

"AHH!!" Vincent shot up, which scared the kitten off of his bed, and the animal stared up at him with the most innocent eyes. "Huh….nothing but a Catuoru Sitoh…. Vincent said in a strange tongue. He'd grown up remembering the language as his father's, but had to keep talking to himself in the tongue or he would forget. The kitten stared up at him with almost a questionable stare (Even though it's eyes were closed) Vincent stared back at it and then smiled. "Maybe that should be your name, hmm?" He leaned down and patted the kitten again, then thought about it.

"…..Catuoru Sitoh….Mischievous cat…" He stared up for a moment and then back to his kitten. "I should shorten it, huh?…. Let's see…. …. …… …….. ……. ……Cait. Cait….Sith. That's a good name for you. What do you think?" The kitten mewled and reached to catch Vincent's hair, that dangled loosely. "Okay then…. Cait Sith it is…" Vincent hopped off of his bed and took the cat into the dark kitchen, where he switched on the lights….

…And everybody came out of their hiding spot, screaming "SURPRISE!!!!"

Vincent looked like a deer that got shot in the ass with a BB gun (Don't ask how I know that) Apparently, while Vincent was gone, everyone had broken in and decorated his apartment for his own birthday. Vincent stared around, wondering just what the hell was going on. Quistis walked up to Vincent, a small present in hand, and smiled warmly.

"Happy birthday Vincent…" She held the present out for him, and, with his free hand, Vincent took the item and stared at everyone. Strangely enough, Tifa and Xu, Auron, Wakka, Lulu and Vivi were there as well. In fact, almost everyone he'd met when he moved here was at the party, all celebrating and waiting for him to arrive home so he could join them.

"……"

"What?" Quistis blinked a few times as she asked.

"How…did you guys get into my apartment?" Everyone stared at each other, not really wanting to take responsibility.

7 hours earlier….

Cid, Rude, and Zack were using a battering ram to get into Vincent's apartment, with Reno as the battering ram. "THAT'S RIGHT GUYS!!! YOU RAM THAT DOOR!! YOU GUYS ARE FUCKING AWESOME!!!" Reno screamed, encouraging his friends. Quistis and some of the other girls couldn't help but feel embarrassed.

Back to the present

"Um….you don't wanna know." Rude suggested before clearing his throat.

"Sorry. It was my idea to get in." It was DeLyse, dressed in a sexy black dress and corset, a sleek fur coat and a long black cane in her right hand. She walked up to the teen, smiling cutely. "It was my idea to have your birthday in your apartment. It would be more appreciated this way, don't you think so?"

"I…I suppose. How long have all of you been in here? I've only been gone for a few hours…" Vincent asked, then suddenly looked over at Lulu and Wakka. "And why didn't you two drop me off here? Why did you leave me at that place?"

Lulu and Wakka stared at him strangely, but before anything could be said, Reno, who was already drunk, ran up to Vincent and slung an arm around him quickly. "HEY!!! LET'S ALL GET NAKED!!!" He howled loudly and took another swig of his drink. Vincent was blushing just from the smell of the alcohol on his breath and it was making him sick.

Vincent wasn't much of a drinker.

Soon the party started and everyone was mingling and talking with themselves. Whoever weren't there to decorate was there now. Cloud and Aeris were talking as usual, possibly about math equations. Lulu and Wakka and Vivi were together and the child was eating some of the birthday cake. Auron and the rest of the small faculty were together, including Edea, and they were talking quietly amongst themselves. Vincent, Reno, Rude, and Cid were all together, Reno and Rude were already drunk, Cid was on his eighteenth beer and still didn't feel buzzed, and Vincent simply drank some wine. Rinoa and Selphie were laughing as they gossiped when Yuffie, who was dressed in a cute little French maid outfit walked over and smiled.

"Hiya!!" The sixteen year old said and the other two just stared at her.

"Um…what do you want?" Rinoa asked, eyes narrowing a bit.

"I just came over to say hi. That's all. Are you enjoying my boyfriend's party?"

"Well, we wouldn't be here if we weren't enjoying ourselves." Selphie said in a snotty way, but since this is Yuffie and she isn't the most er… it's Yuffie, she didn't get what the girl's were trying to tell her. The girl laughed and then nodded.

"I'm glad. If you need anything just let me and my Vinny know!!"

"Wow, I thought that Vincent was going out with Sephiroth AND Quistis." Rinoa said in a dull voice, not really trying to sound like a bitch, but she was just saying--

"WHAT?!!!!" Oh….shit. "WHAT DO YOU MEAN THAT HE'S CHEATING ON ME?!! WHERE IS THE LITTLE BASTARD AND BITCH!?? I'M THE ONLY ONE WHO'S MEANT FOR MY VINNY!!!!" She had her conformer out and looked around for her two victims.

Now, Vincent heard this yelling and looked over at Rude. "Rude! Look there's Yuffie!! You should go ask her to dance." he pointed over to where the girl was, and the taller teen's shades barely covered the blush that covered his face just then. And then Rude made his way. Yuffie started walking towards where Quistis had been sitting, when Rude grabbed her and pulled her towards the dance floor.

"HEY!! LET ME GO!!"

"C'mon baby!" Rude said quickly. Why don't you give a brother a chance…"

"Huh?" Yuffie stared at Rude for a moment before recognizing him. "Hey, You're Vinny's friend, right? Don't you think that it's wrong to try and get with your friend's girlfriend?" She said, hands on her hips.

"Baby… I will let you know, that I would get you all the materia in the world if it meant that I could spend five minutes with you."

"….Wow, that was so romantic…" The girl said with stars in her eyes, and soon the two of them started dancing. Reno had been watching and looked over at Vincent.

"You know what? I fucking hate you." He said and Vincent couldn't help but give a faint smile. Vincent looked over at Cid, who was staring over at Selphie and sighed. Reno caught him staring at the girl as well and he and Vincent could only shake their heads. "Cid… C'mon man, you gotta let this go already. The bitch doesn't dig ya. Just get over it."

"I can't…" Cid admitted, taking another swig. "I've liked this girl forever and now I just got to forget about her? It's harder than you could ever think."

"You could always go back out with Quistis." Reno suggested, and Vincent winced, glaring slightly at the red head, who started at this. "Whoa! Sorry, I forgot you gotta thing with her….and Sephiroth. Just what are you going to do with those two, huh?"

"What do you mean by that?" Vincent asked quietly, almost curious.

"Dude, you got a hot chick and …. Well, Sephiroth, who, you know, is a hot guy, but don't get me wrong. I'm not gay or nothing like that." Reno was quick to defend his sexuality, which Vincent shrugged too. "I mean, you got two people ready to jump you at a second's notice, and you can't choose who you want?"

"I'd like to see you go through the same thing."

"Man, my choice would be easy. If I had two fine-ass, sweet looking chicks after me, there would be only one choice. The best choice!" Reno looked very cocky with that smile and Vincent couldn't help but look condescending of his friend.

"And that would be?" Reno grinned stupidly at Cid and Vincent.

"Threesome." Cid and Vincent just stared at Reno, who was smiling like an idiot.

Zack and Rufus were in a corner together, mainly keeping to themselves, while their two gangs mingled and caused a bit of trouble. Rufus was sipping a bit of wine while Zack only had some punch. The dark haired teen was still a bit nervous about being in public with his new boyfriend, but it didn't seem to bother Rufus at all. The bright haired Turks leader stared over at Zack with a gentle smile and gave a tiny laugh.

"What's so funny?" Zack asked, almost pouting. Rufus shook his head.

"Oh…nothing. Nothing at all… I just enjoy looking at you, that is all." Rufus took another sip of his drink and stared back out at the small crowd. He suddenly noticed that Cloud and Aeris were there as well. Cloud was talking to Aeris, while getting something to eat and not exactly facing her, while the girl made a very annoyed looking face as she listened to him. And Rufus found this completely odd. "What's with the prep?" Zack looked back at Rufus and then over at Aeris. The girl's attitude suddenly changed when Cloud turned back to her, appearing cheerful as before, but when his back was turned to get her punch, she looked as if she wanted to knock him in the head.

Zack blinked a few times and shrugged. "That what I told her, too." Rufus gave a side glance to his boyfriend while sipping his drink.

"What do you mean?" Zack shook his head.

"Well… Aeris is the kind of girl who really is nice, but sometimes she gets way in over her head. I mean, she likes my brother, but… she and him have nothing in common, really. Remember that whole book incident, when Sephiroth nearly killed her?"

"Yes." Rufus looked at him fully, and Zack turned away for a moment to stare at Aeris and Cloud.

"Well, she's in the same class as Cloud, so she knew about the extra credit for the class, and since my brother's such a book worm…"

"She, technically, planned the whole thing." Rufus finished, and Zack nodded. And then Rufus smiled. "And you helped her out, didn't you?"

"Well, I didn't really think about it, but…well, yeah. She always wanted to date my brother, I thought that she was being sincere. Of course, I keep forgetting how she acts. She always looks so cute, like a really moderate hippie you know? All she needs is a flower in her hair and--BOOM! Hippie. You know what I mean?" Zack looked down at Rufus, who had that familiar smile on his face.

"Oh, yeah…. And just listening to you talk is making my mouth water…" Zack's eyes were huge, but he managed to look nervous enough to have Rufus back off a little. "Alright, alright…. I can get the picture now. You don't want my taco-flavored kisses…."

"That's not it. I'm still just not used to all of….well, this yet, you know? I've never really had an actual 'public' boyfriend. And Sephiroth really is the first and only guy I was ever--Wait. What did you just say?"

"You heard me, bitch." Rufus said quickly, trying to figure out where the hell he'd heard that from. His turquoise eyes turned back to Aeris and he sighed when he saw Cloud's face. The blonde looked a bit depressed at the whole situation, but other than that… "I wonder how Cloud will react to all of this when he realizes how badly his angel has actually fallen… Or maybe he's just too stupid to see that she's way to much of a lively person to actually understand him."

"I told her… I told her not to try and hook up with him. Of course… She's stubborn, strong…preppy. You know, the girl who always gets what she wants. For some reason, she thinks she can change people and make everyone happy, and if people don't like it….well, look what happened to Quistis and Tifa. They used to be the best of friends before Aeris came into the picture."

"So, she used you to make Cloud jealous, not knowing that he was attracted to Sephiroth." Rufus almost laughed, finding this all amusing. Zack nodded, looking back at his boyfriend.

"Well, yeah! The only problem was that she didn't know that he was a TOTAL bookworm. Cloud is a nerd through and through, and an emo too. I mean, he's emo bad…. And actually, Sephiroth was shy when it came to asking Cloud out. I thought it was kind of funny, really."

Rufus smiled and then went back to drinking his wine. "This is quite entertaining, indeed…."

"Lulu…" Vincent had walked up to his aunt, while she, Wakka and Vivi were eating some food. The teen looked serious, but not too much of a threat. "Why did you take me back to the house?"

"…." Lulu just stared at him. "What are you talking about?"

"The burnt down house. You left me there, when you picked me up, remember?" Wakka shook his head.

"Uh, we haven't see ya all day Vince. When did you go to the burnt down house? It wasn't today, was it?" Vincent stared at each of their faces, noting that none of them were lying.

Wait…. When was he able to actually know when people weren't lying? Usually, it would take a few more questions, but Vincent knew, he knew that they weren't lying. He knew… /Is this something else I have to get used to Chaos?…/ Vincent looked back at his relatives and then walked away, going to somewhere that he could be left alone. So, he walked to his balcony.

As he entered the next room, the quietest room in the entire apartment and away from everyone, he suddenly noticed something strange. The balcony door was wide open, something that he never did. He also noticed strange stains all over the banister and his floor. It was blood. Vincent looked out at his balcony and walked towards it, Atomsk in his hand. He crept over and waited for something to happen. All he could hear was the faint party going on, but he still tried to keep his ears open. So, he closed his eyes.

/…Chaos…can you separate the sounds for me? I don't want to be caught off guard…/ Chaos said nothing to this, but obliged to the request and silenced everything for him--all but the sound of a person's heartbeat. Vincent could hear the sound, and followed it, slowly, quietly moving closer and closer. And then he came to his closet. The sound was coming from there. He aimed his gun and opened the door….

And Sephiroth leapt into his arms.

"Sorry, I would've hid in a cake, but I wanted to save that for later…" Sephiroth said in a very sensual way. Vincent quickly dropped Sephiroth and turned on his lights to stare at the teen. Sephiroth was covered in blood. Lots and lots of dried blood. The only thing that possibly wasn't tainted by the crimson was his eyes.

"Sephiroth….what happened?" Vincent asked, knowing that it wasn't Sephiroth's blood. He knew first hand that Sephiroth healed way too quickly for that much to spill. So, his grip tightened around the handle and trigger. Sephiroth smiled slightly, and then shook his head. "Who was it?" Vincent asked and Sephiroth glared at him, and turned away.

"Hojo…. I…only went over to ask just what it was they did to me… And… I lost it. I don't remember what happened exactly. I only remember walking down the street, when I realized that I was covered in blood…. So, I ran here…as fast as I could." Vincent growled softly and placed his gun on safety lock and back in his holster.

"Sephiroth….what were you thinking? What if somebody were to have seen you?! It that would've happened--"

"Nobody did, okay!! So, I'm safe. As long as nobody knows where I'm at for a while….I'm safe…" Sephiroth stared at Vincent with the most sincere eyes, eyes that showed that he was not only angry, but afraid…. "Please?" Vincent stared at him for a bit long, and then sighed.

"Go take a shower and then come join the party, alright? I don't want you to get in trouble, but I don't want to be known for having a murderer in my house trying to make up an alibi." Vincent walked away, but Sephiroth's question stopped him.

"Sounds like you've killed someone in your life…." Vincent turned back at Sephiroth , only for a moment, just long enough for his eyes to turn yellow and back to crimson again.

"Yeah… I did murder someone…." Vincent walked back to the party and waited for Sephiroth to return….

To Be Continued

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Wow, what an enigmatic chapter. And it's the first of the very last that will end this story. Yes, I know, the end is coming and the end is usually not so cool. But don't worry, it won't be that bad….least I hope not…. QUIZ!!

1) So…Vincent wasn't in the car with Lulu and Wakka? But what about all that stuff Chaos told him? Was that real, or all in his imagination?

2) So, Lockhart is really Xu. And what was it that she put into Vincent exactly? What will the second part of the Anti-gent do to the Galian Beast?

3) What the hell is Hojo ranting about? And what did he do to Vincent, Sephiroth and the other eight specimen of his projects? And who is this sister Hojo spoke of? And what did he mean about Jenova modeled after Sephiroth's mother?

4) Um….did Sephiroth just commit murder? Oh shit!

5) So…Aeris is very preppy and Zack even tried to tell her not to go with Cloud. And since Sephiroth's at the party, what the hell's going to happen now?

6) Poor Cid, he's still reeling over the rejection of Selphie… how sad, but it looks like Rude is getting some action! V

My Rant For The Day

Here We GO!!: Kingdom Hearts I and II Reviews--The Final Fantasy Characters and such!!

Okay… WTF?!! Every one of the FF characters that are on that game are just ::Makes whooshing noise and has her hand flying over her head:: You know? I was not expecting that. Sure, the game, the fighting style. Cool. I even understand that the game could be considered a kiddie game, since there is Disney characters in it, but you had to ruin the FF gang?!!

Review of Kingdom Hearts

Cloud-- Sounds dark, cool, and unbeknownst to us that in the next game….he would become emo… Fight it Cloud….fight it! Aerith isn't dead!! Wait, why isn't Aerith dead?

Aerith-- Cute and petite as always! But where was her jacket? I miss her jacket, but she was okay.

Squall/Leon--Why the hell did you change your name to Leon? What the hell kind of sense is that? And you're talking too damn much!!

Yuffie-- Hooker R Us. PERIOD. She didn't have her shuriken in the game, which pissed me off, really!

Sephiroth-- Lance Basset…Bass Lancet… Whatever the fuck his name is--uh, the guy who just said he was gay, that one!! HE played Sephiroth's voice…. What the Fuck, man? That is not right at all…

Cid-- I have no problem with this one, cause as far as I know from playing the game, he don't say a damn thing, he just looks a little older. That's it.

Moogles-- They are the only ones who didn't piss me off. Congrats Moogles, you win!!

Review of Kingdom Hearts II

Cloud-- He finally reveals how emo Emos can be…

Tifa-- Why does she have a country accent?

Aerith-- Okay…. Aerith from VII was a fast talker and quick to say things. This girl annoyed the hell outta me! Speak faster bitch!!

Cid-- He sounds and looks old. What the hell is going on?!

Yuffie-- Well…they fixed her up a bit, so I'm not so bad

Squall/Leon-- Okay, his hair isn't wild, he doesn't look gay, and he goes insane when he's fighting--but he talks to much. Squall isn't the talkative type. FIX IT!!-- #

Sephiroth-- This doesn't help either… Maybe the break-up really was that bad?… At least he sounds like an adult, though.

Moogles-- Once again, the Moogles were done perfectly. They even got the honky sound right :D

I hope that you understand that I take many things very seriously. I don't like it when people mess up a lot of things, you know? And Americans don't really get the drift when it comes to personalities. Whenever FF X came out, Everyone saw Tidus' full profile photo and his full body pic. He looked fucking cool. The same with Yuna as well, she looked cute. But when those voices came into play…. Now, when Tidus was narrating, he sounded calm, cool and understanding. But after that, it was completely stupid. And that whole scene with him and Yuna practicing their laugh was just nuts.

I was scared. But I'm slightly happy/pissed off that they didn't put Vincent into the KH series. 1: Vincent rocks, and 2: Vincent would probably be made emo if he wasn't already really Angst-Goth. I mean, he really has a reason to be depressed.

Now, I hope that there is no one out there that thinks that I'm crazy. Hell, if you want, you can even give me your opinions. I wouldn't mind listen to what other people say. Just give me a wing and I'll post ASAP

Later!!

PS:

I'm going to do something that is rare in the fanfic industry (If you can call it that?) and it involves Aeris. So, I will explain what I am doing in the next chapter, so you can't get pissed cause I already gave preemptive warning. OKAY!? Later!!
