disclaimer: i don't own

Genesis sat up on the roof of 7th heaven and gingerly felt his shoulder, Tifa had stitched and bandaged the wounds and made him a sling without accepting even a word of thanks, he didn't deserve their help, he was only a spy, a thief, a liar in the dark. It was pouring with rain but he didn't notice, the rain helped him to forget all the things he had done, so he stayed and let the rain freeze him slowly.

"Genesis, what are you doing out here?"

Genesis looked round and saw one of the Remnants standing behind him; he looked the most like Sephiroth and even sort of had his voice. Genesis smiled thinly.

"Freezing my tail off"

The Remnant sat down beside him and stared deeply into his eyes "you're unhappy" he murmured "why are you unhappy Genesis?"

Genesis snorted and looked away "where to begin" he muttered "and what's your name anyway, before I start bearing my soul"

"I'm Yazoo" his eyes are lighter than Sephiroth's Genesis decided and more hopeful. Genesis let out a long breath and stared into the distance

"I don't know where to start really"

"Shall I start then?"

"What?" Genesis looked at him surprised, Yazoo smiled bitterly

"You think I haven't had my fair share of nights when I wake up and feel there's no hope left for me?"

Genesis stayed silent so Yazoo went on "before I died…that was the worst thing I have ever experienced and that is the nightmare I wake up from the most" he paused and looked away, staring down at the people in the streets. "We had somehow managed to survive the explosion that those two Turks" he spat out the name with oblivious contempt then went on "Loz was in a terrible state and so was I, but luckily we had Materia so would cure ourselves….but we were weak Genesis, and we were bleeding on the inside, somehow we dragged ourselves upright and started towards the Shinra building to find Kadaj and Cloud but then…" he stopped again and looked down closing his eyes.

"What happened Yazoo?" Genesis asked, Yazoo's eyes opened and he let out a little gasp.

"Sorry…..it still hurts sometimes" his arms were wrapped tightly around his ribs, Genesis frowned

"How can it still hurt? You went into the Lifestream like me didn't you?"

Yazoo laughed mirthlessly "it protected our souls but not our bodies, they were just dumped into storage and left there until we came to life again" he looked back at Genesis and smiled at his expression "there was a feeling of being drawn away and then I wasn't in my body anymore, I was in Sephiroth's…the power he had Genesis is unimaginable, every cell was bursting with it and I was amazed at how he used it in combat…..but it was our fault, mine and Loz's, we were too weak and he needed all of our strengths to stay in us after Cloud had run him through with his swords…. so we drifted apart becoming separate once more. Kadaj tried to fight the Lifestream but it was too much….he let go…" he stopped and several silent tears slide down his face mixing with the rain.

Genesis hesitantly put his hand on Yazoo's shoulder; he smiled faintly and went on, his voice surprisingly steady

"We had somehow been transported to the battle ground and were resisting the Lifestream rain as best we could, I hatred Cloud then, more than I've ever hated someone before, I lifted my gun and I shot him" he lowered his head and Genesis felt his shoulders shaking slightly.

"Hey….don't…its okay…it's over now" Genesis slowly wrapped his arm around Yazoo and drew him close; Yazoo leaned on him and cried silently into his shoulder.

"I don't normally do this" he said shakily after his sobs had subsided slightly

"it's better to let it out then kept it in and let it eat away at you inside, trust me when I woke up I had several fits of crying until it finally died down"

"Really? You don't seem the type"

"Really" Genesis stood up and held out his hand "well I don't know about you, but I'm going back inside, I don't want to die of pneumonia"

Yazoo stiffened slightly the he smiled and took his hand "neither do I, I came to close to it once, I don't want it to happen again"

Genesis smiled and went back inside; he turned and called back over his shoulder "thanks Yazoo, it's nice to know someone else understands" he turned and froze staring at the figure in front of him. The light shone down on his hair casting a silvery glow around him and green eyes glowed in the low light, Genesis thought he looked like an angel.

"Hello Genesis" Sephiroth purred and unsheathed Masamune.

An angel of death.

yeah i thought a conversation between Genesis and Yazoo was a good idea
