Wrong Turn

Chapter 14

A few hours had passed, and still Yazoo was just sitting there. He could be out searching for his home; for his new life. Why was he sticking around this place?

If he was just sitting there, that obviously meant his brothers were out doing something involving mother. Maybe they were even looking for him. He hoped not. If they found out he had run away from them, he would be in even more trouble than he already was. Even if they were looking for him, it wasn't likely that they would find him here. Cloud was the last person they'd expect him to be with, if anybody.

Once again, Yazoo was interrupted as the wooden door creaked open, letting the light into his room once more.

"What now?" He wondered, trying to adjust his eyes to the lighting.

This time, however, the light was turned on, causing the remnant to squint for a moment, before looking at the intruder. It wasn't Cloud, but the brunette bartender, Tifa. What was she holding? Some sort of murder weapon?

His question was answered when she came over to him, and placed a bowl of soup on his night stand.

"Hope you're hungry." She told him.

He turned his gaze down to the liquid in the ceramic bowl. It was somewhat yellow in color, and had a lot of noodles in it. He assumed that the little bits of meat were chicken, and came to the obvious conclusion.

"It's chicken noodle soup..." Yazoo thought, as he looked back up at Tifa. He was surprisingly hungry, now that he thought about it. He hadn't eaten in days, and he had always liked chicken soup the few times he'd had it.

"..Thank you." He nodded slightly, appreciating her hospitality. Those words were foreign to him, yet as he spoke them, he couldn't help but feel a sense of happiness. The bartender smiled in return.

"You're welcome." She replied, before turning to leave.

"Oh! And by the way.." Tifa paused. "Eat quickly, cause as soon as you're finished, we're going to find you some new clothes." She added out of the blue.

Yazoo, not seeing what was wrong with his current attire after looking it over, gave her a puzzled look.

"What?" he questioned, tilting his head slightly.

"Well, you can't stay in that anymore. It's ruined." She explained, making Yazoo examine his outfit again. "Besides, if you "mean no harm" as you told Cloud, then you should probably lose the whole 'I'm a bad guy' look. Cloud even said he could lend you some of his clothes!" Tifa finished excitedly, heading out the door before he could even reply.

Yazoo blinked at where she once stood. Did he really have the 'I'm a bad guy' look as she said? He didn't even know what the bad guy look was. He sighed in defeat. It was too late to protest now, anyways.

"From now on, I'm keeping my mouth shut about that stuff." He declared to himself, picking up the soup next to him, and drinking it. It tasted good. In fact, he had never had anything like it before, and before he knew it, the bowl was empty.

"I guess it was a good thing she brought me that soup.." Yazoo decided. he didn't know how much longer he could last without eating.

He put the bowl down again, letting take its place back on the small table. He sighed. What now?

Looking over at the small clock on the wall, he saw that it was 3:46pm. What an awful time. He preferred when it was later, and when the moon was out. He felt a sense of security at that time of night, because that way none of the townspeople would see him and get frightened. He didn't care about the townspeople's well-being, be he did care that they were scared of him. He only ever did the terrible things around the sector because Kadaj had told him to. Now, because of that, every time he was seen he had been pushed around, or threatened. He would never admit it to anybody, but that wasn't who Yazoo was.

He shoved the thought away, and got out of bed.

"No use sitting around if it isn't necessary." He told himself, stretching his legs a little, before heading for the door.

Suddenly, from behind him, he heard a quiet jingle. It was unfamiliar, and he couldn't help but turn around to find where it was coming from. He scoped the room out for the source of the sound. He looked on the night table, on the window sill, and even under the bed, where he found nothing but dust bunnies. After all that, he still couldn't where the jingle was coming from, and by the time he got off of the floor, the jingle had stopped.

"Great..now I'm never going to find it." He sulked in his head.

Just then the jingle started up again. He looked around frantically, and noticed it was coming from the computer desk. Or rather, something on the computer desk. He approached the object, and noticed that it was a cell phone. He picked it up in his gloved hand to give it a closer look. It looked familiar. Who's could it be? When he quickly thought of the answer, he mentally struck himself for being so clueless.

"Big brother's cell phone.." he remembered it now. Kadaj had been on it when he had phoned Tifa for the first time.

It rang again in his grasp, the small vibrations pulsing through his hand. He looked back at the door. Cloud was not coming to get it like he had expected him to. Should he just answer it for him? It would be rather rude, but what if it was an emergency? It would have to be if the person called twice in two minutes. He could give the message to Cloud after.

Yazoo sighed, and flipped the phone open, receiving a "call connected" message on the phone's screen.

"Hello?" Yazoo asked, after placing the phone to his ear. He thought it would be one of Cloud's friends or something, so he tried to act as casual (and calm) as he could. After all, they all knew his voice by now. He didn't want to alarm them.

"Yazoo?!" A voice called his name. It wasn't a voice that belonged to any of Cloud's friends, that was certain. The voice Yazoo had just heard had been the one he had least expected, let alone least wanted to hear. "Yazoo, Is that you?! Why are you on big brother's phone?"

"K-Kadaj..?" he asked, turning even whiter from surprise.

"Yazoo, answer the questions. Where are you?" his brother asked, sounding nothing less than furious.

The remnant froze. He couldn't let him know where he was, he would come after him without a second thought. And what if he hurt Cloud or the others? He wasn't saying they were his close friends, but they had done nothing but help him since he was here. He couldn't let anything bad happen to them.

"Yazoo!" Kadaj yelled at him from the other line. Yazoo didn't know what to tell him, and did what he thought wasn't the smartest idea, but the best one for the current situation.

He hung up the phone.
