Tseng gritted his teeth as the rapier stabbed into him repeatedly; he closed his eyes sickened by the sight of his blood soaking Genesis. Even when he was tortured it wasn't this savage, genesis was driven by pure rage and was not being careful like Kadaj and his gang were. He even wished that they were attacking him; the long haired one was surprisingly gentle. Tseng turned his head and looked pleadingly at Sephiroth, there was a flicker of sympathy in his eyes but his glaze was mostly fixed on the Materia still clutched in his hand. Tseng looked up at Genesis and noticed a wound in his shoulder, he looked from the Materia to Sephiroth who smirked and gave him a brief nod, using the strength he still had left Tseng kicked Genesis off him them plunged the Materia into his shoulder, Genesis yelped then his eyes widened in surprise as Tseng threw the Materia towards Sephiroth. He caught it and smirked at Tseng

"Thank you Tseng" he purred and stood up, no longer weakened by the Materia, he cast Genesis a fleeting glance "what shall we do with you Genesis?"

"You truly are a monster Sephiroth" Genesis gasped and sat up holding his wing "threatening an old friend"

"You already said I lost my chance of redemption" Sephiroth said smoothly "so I have nothing to fear, though" he looked at Tseng who was crawling towards him slowly "I think Tseng should decide your fate"

He went over to him and pressed the Materia into his hand then bent down and looked him in the eyes "don't injure Genesis more than necessary, we may need him" he looked at the wounds and sighed "Genesis… you really are all anger and no technique, he's easily going to recover from those wounds then where will you be?"

"Far…away from here" he stood up shakily and almost fell; Sephiroth moved to his side and put a hand on his shoulder

"Old friend, isn't time for the wandering soul to rest?"

Genesis wavered then swiped at Sephiroth with the rapier; he dodged and stood defensively over Tseng "stop this Genesis!"

"Why aren't you having fun?" Genesis swung the rapier towards them laughing. Sephiroth brought Masamune up to meet it easily and smiled

"You're as clumsy as a child Genesis" he turned his head slightly spoke in a undertone "use the Materia"

There was loud crack and Genesis screamed as another bone in his wing broke and he sank to the floor.

"Sephiroth!" Kadaj and Loz speed into the room and looked around in surprise, Loz scratched his head.

"Yazoo said you were hurt" he said and gazed at Genesis "and that he had taken you here"

"Well you are right Loz" Sephiroth said patiently "I was" he turned to Kadaj "could you get Tseng out of here, I'll deal with Genesis"

"Will you give him to Rufus?" Tseng asked, he was rather annoyed at being taken anywhere by those two. Sephiroth though for a moment then shook his head

"No I don't think so"

"And where are they taking me?" Tseng demanded "I don't need to go anywhere"

"You'll die if your wounds aren't treated" Sephiroth said coldly "and unless you have a death wish" he noticed Tseng's expression and sighed "yes, I know you don't trust them or me, but it's either us or death"

"I'd rather die" Tseng snarled and Sephiroth sighed

"Loz"

Loz stepped forwards and punched Tseng hard on the side of his head, the Turk was knocked unconscious instantly and Loz picked up him, Kadaj darted to his side and looked at Tseng "will he make it Sephiroth? His wounds are deep"

"He might, if you hurry"

Kadaj nodded and he and Loz ran out the room, Sephiroth walked over to Genesis and looked down at him "now" he held Masamune against Genesis's throat "what am I going to do with you?"

"Vincent have you seen Kadaj?"

Vincent looked up from the book he was reading and frowned "no, and I haven't seen Loz either before you ask"

Cloud sat down next to him and buried his head in his hands "god this is the last thing I need right now, there'll be wide spread panic is people recognise them"

"I can go look for them" Vincent suggest, Cloud looked at him and saw that his eyes were glowing gold, he shook his head

"No, we'll just wait for them, it shouldn't take long"

Vincent smiled and went back to his book "sooner than you think"

"What?" Cloud asked confused.

The door opened and Loz walked in carrying Tseng, Cloud's mouth dropped open "what?"

Kadaj strolled in and closed the door "hello brother, we brought some company"

Vincent watched the blood drip onto the carpet and sighed "Tifa's going to kill you two" he muttered and went over to examine Tseng "he'll live" he tilted Tseng's head and winced "who did that?"

Loz looked down guilty "I did" his shoulders started shaking, Kadaj rolled his eyes and patted his shoulder

"Vincent wasn't telling you off Loz, don't cry"

"I'm not crying!" he carefully placed Tseng on the sofa and wiped his eyes furiously. Tseng groaned and opened his eyes

"Where am I?"

"7th Heaven" Vincent looked down at him with his usual cold expression "Loz and Kadaj brought you here"

"I know that!"

"Hey there's no need for that" Cloud said annoyed, Turks were such jerks sometimes

Tseng's eyes narrowed as he spotted Cloud "so…at last you're no longer hiding from yourself"

Kadaj and Loz bristled and Cloud frowned slightly "I didn't know that I was so lowly thought of by the Turks"

Tseng sat up with difficulty and grimaced "you ran away from your duty"

Kadaj snorted and rolled his eyes "please, you're starting to sound like Reno"

"Kadaj" Vincent muttered warningly, kadaj glanced at him and went quiet, Tseng laughed mockingly

"The Remnant is mothered by the vampire how touching"

Cloud quickly grabbed Kadaj and held him back; Vincent gave Tseng his coldest look "why did Sephiroth make Kadaj and Loz bring you here?"

"I don't know" Tseng felt his eyes closing, Vincent sighed and went to find bandages, he poked his head around a door and checked on Yazoo, he was curled up on a bed fast asleep. Vincent closed the door quietly and went into the kitchen.

If Tseng is going to be staying here Chaos muttered he'd better start showing a little more respect.

"I wouldn't expect him to" Vincent said conversationally as he searched through cupboards "he's in a house where his least favourite people are"

So? You were a Turk too Vincent, don't forget it

"I'll try" Vincent found the bandages then took some towels and soaked them with water. Something tugged at his cloak and he turned, Marlene and Denzel stood behind him.

"Who are you talking to Uncle Vincent?" Marlene asked, she was clutching a toy Moogle to her chest, Vincent smiled slightly and bent down to her level

"I was talking to Chaos"

"Cool!" Denzel jumped up and down "can I look at your gun please?"

"Sorry Denzel, it's dangerous" Vincent watched his face fall then took out Cerberus and held it up for him to see. "It's dangerous because it's triple-barreled and tripled-chambered, so it can fire three bullets at once"

"Cool!" Denzel leapt up and down excitedly "can you shot it at something, I want to see!"

"Not at the moment Denzel, I have to look after someone now"

"Is it Yazoo?" Marlene asked "he looked ill"

"No but I'll bet he'd like it if you let him borrow that Moogle"

Marlene smiled "okay" she grabbed Denzel and dragged him out of the room, Vincent chuckled quietly and went back to tend the disagreeable Turk.

so Tseng's at 7th Heaven and Sephiroth's still at Shinra

will they ever get along?
