Tifa hummed softly, turning the page of her book before starting to hear her cell phone ringing. "Oh." She smiled, seeing who it was. "Hello?"

"HEY TIFA!!" the loud squeal from the other side of the phone came. "Yuffie's here!! We're on our way to Costa so you better have a feast ready for us when we get there!!" Giggling, she bounced up and down a bit. "And Reno better be ready as well! I wanna see my god kids FIRST THING when I get there understand!?"

Tifa chuckled gently, nodding. "Don't worry about it. Cloud's making lunch and Reno will be home by the time you get here."

"Spike's cooking? He cooks?"

"Better than me...!"

"Gotta see that!" Yuffie exclaimed. "See ya in a few hours, Tif'! Over an' out!"

The woman sighed softly, smiling as she placed her phone back on her purse. She better enjoy her peace while she had it.

--

Cloud puckered a few more herbs from between the roses, sighing as he wiped his sweaty forehead. The sun was high and it was killing him. Taking off a glove, he narrowed his eyes to see what time it was, sighing once more as he saw that it was time for him to start cooking. "Trust Tifa to be lazy on a day like this..." He protested softly, smiling as he got up. He wasn't mad: his friend came over to rest, after all. Taking off the other glove as he walked back inside, he wondered what he should make for lunch...

Smirking, a figure stood behind the door, purring gently when his prey walked back into the house. Stalking forward, he reached out and placed a hand on the blond's shoulder, gripping. "Hello… Cloud."

Cloud gasped and turned hastily, hands flying to an attacking stance as his brain registered the voice of a man he hated with all his being. "... You…!" He snarled, taking on the image of Squall, smirking as he stood in front of him.

"Hello. Where is my lover?" Growling lightly, Squall removed his sword from the harness on his back and twirled it, pointing the sharp end at Cloud's neck. "I've come back for him, just like I promised."

"My lover isn't here." Cloud snarled, taking a step back. Standing so close to the sharp end of a blade wasn't good when you only happen to have is a pair of muddy gloves.

Realizing the other's predicament, Squall chuckled and took a few steps forward. "My love will be mine the moment I get rid of disgusting trash like YOU" Snarling, he took a few more steps forward. "Now... stay still so I can cut you down!!"

Cloud snorted, swallowing hard. "As if…!" He snarled, throwing the gloves at Squall quickly and taking advantage of the man's distraction to sprint upstairs to get one of his swords.

Blinking, the man stumbled back a few steps, not expecting the sudden attack. Growling lightly, Squall ripped the gloves off his face and took off after the retreating figure. "GET BACK HERE, YOU COWARD!!" Cloud climbed the stairs in pairs, nearly jumping into the room and sprinting to one of its corners, barely touching the hilt of his First Tsurugi as he heard Squall's blade start cutting air and he had to duck as fast as he could. Blade smashing into the wall, Squall grunted and yanked it free, spinning to meet Cloud's swing head on. "I'm going to kill you and then take back my rightful property." Grunting, he tossed Cloud back and lunged forward, slashing at his torso. "Then I'll fuck his pretty little body right next to your corpse!!" he snarled, kicking the blond away.

Cloud screamed at the flaring pain, getting thrown out the room and down the stairs before being able to regain his balance and get back to his feet as he reached the end of the staircase, lifting his sword in time to block one of Squall's powerful swings. "Shit..." He cursed softly, his arms giving in a few inches as he felt pain flare from his heart and across his chest.

Crackling loudly, Squall grunted and began to swing hard and fast, slashing at the blonde's arms, legs and back, smirking at every yelp of pain and new stain of red dribbling down onto the floor. "Is that all you GOT?!" He roared, lashing out and cutting a deep line onto the blond's already bloodied back. "Guess you don't love him that much then, huh?"

Cloud clenched his teeth and swung his massive sword as strongly as he could at Squall, slashing him across the stomach before struggling to his feet, panting as he checked for materia on his sword. "Great..." He coughed out some blood, seeing no glowing balls anywhere near. He would have to rely on whatever little strength he had at the moment and pray that his limbs wouldn't give out. "You... will never love Reno as much as I do!" He screamed, charging at Squall and attacking him with fast, well-aimed attacks, managing to slash his right arm and shoulder.

Bellowing in pain, Squall stumbled back, growling deeply. "Love?!" He spat, smirking darkly as he stood back up, one hand clenched over the worst of his wounds. "Love…? I don't care about loving him!! I want to OWN him!" He panted, getting into a fighting position once more. "I want him to scream my name, love me, and worship the ground I walk on!!" He chuckled. "I want to see those beautiful eyes of his lose their light and will to fight. And know that I'M the one to do it!!"

"AS IF ILL LET YOU!" Cloud screamed, gripping his sword as tightly as he could, letting out a scream of rage as he charged once more with renewed strength.

Gasping in surprise, the other barely got his sword up in time to block the blond's now furious swings. "You won't have a choice!!" He screamed back, parrying the other's attacks while looking for an opening.

Cloud kept attacking mercilessly, wanting nothing else but to chop Squall's head off. His strength failed him for a matter of seconds though as the blond's heart screamed in agony at the effort. "UGH!" Cloud grunted softly, hesitating a bit before going back to his powerful attacks.

Although, it was too late.

Seeing his opening, Squall snarled and lunged forward. Twirling his body to the side, he ducked down low and came up, slicking a deep incision from Cloud's left thigh to right collar bone. Standing back up, he panted and whirled back around, sword ready.

Cloud coughed out blood once more, digging his sword into the floor of his place to keep standing. It hurt... it hurt so fucking much but he had to go on. "B-bastard…" He wheezed, coughing.

Smirking, Squall whirled around and smashed the heel of his boot against Cloud's chest, sending him crashing onto the opposite wall. "Die already..." He sighed, watching Cloud gasp harshly as the impact removed all the air from his lungs.

The blond cried out in pain, clutching at the skin above his heart when he tried to get up again in wobbling legs. He couldn't breathe, all he could see was red... his blood. "N-No..." He panted harshly, trying to reach for his sword.

Growling, the other man stomped over and raised a foot. "WHY WON'T YOU JUST DIE!?" Squall brought it down as hard as he could onto the trembling palm trying to reach the fallen weapon. Why was he still fighting?

"Ugh!" Cloud grunted in pain, gasping as he felt his wrist shatter under Squall's heavy boot. "I-I'm not letting you kill my children... N-nor condemn Reno to a life of unhappiness." He panted, looking up with hatred.

Grunting softly, Squall kneeled down and smiled, reaching to rub a thumb across Cloud's cheek, raising the gloved digit to lick away the blood that had stained it. "My dear boy..." he murmured tenderly, reaching to lick the blood leaking from the blond's lip. "That is all he ever knew. I know all about his life before the Turks. So this should be like a blast from the past." Grinning, a psychotic light in his eyes, he raised a fist. "Any last words…? I'd like to finish this soon; I have better things to be doing."

"Fuck you." Cloud snarled, spitting on the brunette's face. If he was going down, he wouldn't let Squall have the last word. "You'll never have Reno…" He growled, eyes blurring with the blood loss and pain.

"Goodnight." Smirking, Squall slammed his fist as hard as he could across Cloud's cheek, watching as the other man's head snapped to the side and he fell on to the floor, eyes rolling to the back of his head and fluttering shut as he was knocked out unconscious. "Don't worry." Squall cooed almost gently. "When you wake up, and if you wake up, we'll be LONG gone..." Smirking down at the limp body beneath him, he tilted his head to the side, curious as to why there was so much blood. Reaching, he turned the blond's body over and smirked at the sight of quivering fat, muscles and bones glimmering under the light. "Uh…" Quite a bit of damage he had done. "… That's it then." Smirking again, the man dipped a few fingers into the cut and lifted them, slowly licking away the blood. "Sweet…" Standing up, he hummed and tilted his head to the side. "Now... to make sure you never wake up again..." Smirking, he reared back and started to kick the prone form, not stopping until the gash was twice in size, Cloud's hair bloodied and matted, the blond's skull partially caved in. "Goodnight." Squall repeated, lowering his crimson stained boot, looking down at his handiwork before walking away. Heading up the stairs, he walked into the blond's room and dug around, pulling out a photo album. Flicking it open, he sneered and pulled a lighter from his pocket. "Disgusting..."

He would get rid of those awful memories.

Outside, Tifa dusted the sand off her skirt, humming happily as she grabbed her large bag and made her way back inside. "I wonder what he's cooking." She whispered, grinning. Cloud was a great cook... She loved his food. It was stupid but it made her smile. "Just like his mother's." The woman giggled to no-one in particular, closing the small door in the fence at the backyard, looking around. Cloud was no-where to be seen. "But I don't smell food..." Tifa frowned as she got inside the kitchen. Empty."... Maybe he went to buy groceries?" Blinking, Tifa frowned again as she finished her words.

There was... a funny smell on the air.

Almost like... "Blood..." The woman whispered, frowning. Something wasn't right, she thought before carefully and slowly making her way to the kitchen's door, peeking to see if the hall's area was free. Stepping into the hall, Tifa looked around and took off her large hat, feeling her eyes widen at the sight of a big, still growing poodle of blood on the wooden floor. "Oh god..." She whispered, rising her fists in a fighting position as she carefully moved towards the living room. Tifa had to stifle a scream when she entered the division, her eyes falling on Cloud's completely beaten body in the middle of the floor, a few meters away from the stairs. "Cloud…!" She cried softly, running to the man's side and nearly gagging at the state he was in. "O-oh no..." She whimpered, shakily reaching and gasping as the tips of her fingers touched the cuts on the male's chest before she looked around helplessly. Something, she needed something to stop the bleeding... to cure all of those wounds! "Don't die on me." The woman sobbed before running back to where she had left her bag and coming back with a Cure materia. She had to at least try to cure his wounds. At least try.

--

Humming to himself, Reno trotted up the walk, a large grin on his face. He felt GREAT! It was a nice day, he and Cloud made up, and the kids were with Marluxia at the aquarium so he could go spend some quality time with his lover after he shooed away Tifa towards the beach. Bouncing into the house, he paused, instincts on high alert at the sudden wave of blood scent. "...Cloud?" Calling out, the redhead took a few steps forward, almost afraid to go any further. "...Tifa?" Heart pounding with fear, he walked into the living room and stopped dead, a gasp resting on the tip of his tongue. "Cloud..." Eyes wide, he took on the appearance of his beaten lover and the sobbing woman next to him. "Ti-Tifa..."

Said woman didn't answer, instead using Cure spell after Cure spell. She could feel the blond slip through her fingers and it was terrifying her. Cloud was going to be a father, damn it! With the man he loved! He was going to get married soon in a tuxedo and in a huge church, surrounded by friends! He had a full life ahead of him! "Please..." Tifa bit her lip, trying to keep her sobs inside as she continued not noticing Reno. "Please, just don't let him go...!" Tifa cried.

Raising a shaking hand to his mouth, Reno felt himself fall back against the wall before sliding onto the floor. "Cl-Cloud…" He whimpered pathetically, agony laced in every letter. Letting out a small sob, he crawled forward and raised a hand to touch his lover's, eyes widening when he met cold skin. "CLOUD…!" Sobbing, the redhead covered his face with his hands, body shaking as he wept, praying to every deity he knew to save his lover. "Please... please, don't take him away from me!" He cried, hands sliding down his face so that he could watch Tifa heal his love with wide, fearful eyes.

Tifa shook as she tried not to cry: she hadn't heard the redhead arriving and now, she would make sure she would look strong: by crying... Reno could think that all hope was lost. "He's going to be fine." She sniffed, praying for Yuffie to appear with more powerful materia. The one she had was barely stopping a bleeding, much less closing any wound.

Sobbing, Reno nodded. "I'm... I'm going to go check for more materia upstairs...!" Maybe he had some in the bathroom, next to the first aid kit. At this point, even a low level one would help. Stumbling to his feet, he wiped his eyes and darted up the stairs. "I'll be right back!" He called, bursting into his and Cloud's room.

After a shaky nod, Tifa was back at bawling her eyes out, having lost all of her hope as her materia faded away as the last of its strength was used and the pool of blood beneath Cloud's limp body only grew wider, millimeter by millimeter. "Don't..." She sobbed, moving away from the blonde's face a strand of bloodied blond hair. Crying as she examined Cloud's peaceful, pale features, Tifa gathered the cold man on her arms and hugged him close to her chest, rocking back and forth as she shivered at the feeling of her best friend's cold skin. "Please..." She sobbed into his neck, taking on his scent and memorizing it. "Please, don't take him away... Aerith....!" The woman cried out, clutching at Cloud's torn vests.

It was hard to believe that the blond had been smiling, had been warm and happy not even twenty minutes before.

--

Upstairs, Squall smiled from where he stood, closing his eyes in delight at the horrified gasp his servant let escape from his pretty lips. "Hello." he greeted politely, holding the remaining ashes of all the photo albums he had burnt til the moment. He grinned as he turned. "It's been a while."

Eyes wide, Reno whimpered and stumbled back a few steps, shivering. "Wh-Wh..." Licking his lips, Reno swallowed hard, memories flowing through him hard and fast, almost making his legs buckle. "What are you doing here...?" He finally managed to whisper.

Squall blinked. "What am I doing here? I came to get you, of course." He said softly, shrugging as he puffed the ashes away with one steady breath.

Following the ashes, Reno's gaze fell to the floor and he whimpered once more, seeing the burnt remains of his and Cloud's precious memories. "Cloud...you did that to him?" He asked softly, backing away to the door - maybe he could lead the man away from the house to give Tifa enough time to heal his lover.

"He stood in my way. I just got him out of it."

Growling lowly, Reno glared at the man in front of him, fear slowly being replaced with anger. "You fucker... you could of killed him!!"

Squall laughed softly. "I 'could have killed him'? Baby; that was exactly my intention! And believe me; by the time we leave, he'll be as good as worm food."

"I'm not going anywhere with you, you sick FUCK." Reno snarled, spitting at the man.

"You know..." Squall said slowly, wiping the spit off his face. "Why does everyone DO THAT NOW?!" He yelled, kicking Reno in the chest and sending him crashing down the stairs as he had done to Cloud moments before.

Shrieking, Reno's hands immediately flew to his stomach in an effort to protect it as he rolled down the staircase. 'My babies…!' He thought desperately, crying out at the sharp pains running through him. Whimpering, he stayed as still as he could when he reached the bottom of the stairs, hoping that the lack of movement would help.

Nearby, Tifa gasped as she heard a crash and a horrifying scream coming from behind her. What was happening?? Turning with Cloud on her arms, she gasped as she saw Reno. "Reno---!" Her call got swallowed by another scream, this one being the mixture of her own and Reno's as Squall stabbed Reno's stomach.

There wasn't a baby in there that he hadn't cut through.

Trashing, Reno wailed; clutching the deep wound, body convulsing as he coughed up a bit of blood. "Babies… babies... babies..." He moaned, curling up on his side when Squall roughly pulled his sword back before beginning to sob. He couldn't feel them. He could always feel them. Wailing once more, he cried out loudly as the reality of the situation hit him.

His children were dead.

Squall chuckled, shaking his head as he looked down at the redhead. "Pitiful... If you want any kids, I can give them to you later." Anything to stop that infernal wailing…! "Just stop crying already."

--

Giggling madly, Yuffie practically DANCED up to the house. "C'mon, c'mon…! Let's go! MOVE IT!!" Laughing, she dodged Cid's swiping arm and stuck her tongue out. "Nice try, old man!"

"SHUT IT BRAT!!"

"May I suggest we quiet down?" A calm voice butted in.

"WHY?!"

"Because this is meant to be a surprise..." Vincent murmured.

"… Oh yeah..." Giggling, Yuffie quieted down, much to the group's relief. They had to put up with her bouncing and jibber jabber for the past four hours now. Coming up to the house, the ninja put her finger to her lips, "Shh…" The others rolled their eyes, watching the girl creep up to the front door. Giggling quietly, the ninja tossed the door open and ran into the house, quickly followed by the others. "SUPRI-" Her words got lost on her tongue as she gasped at the scene before her. Cloud on the floor in a puddle of blood, Tifa holding him sobbing and Reno on the floor near them, clutching his quickly reddening stomach and screaming as a strange brown haired man stood over him. Taking in the scene, she did the only thing she could do: she screamed in shock.

Squall looked up with a roll of his eyes, seeing the shocked group staring at the scene before them. "Great, they're all here now..." He sighed softly. Kicking Reno's feet out of the way, he walked towards the others, stepping on the puddle of Cloud's blood on purpose on the way. "May I help you?" He asked, annoyed.

Gaping at the man in front of them, Yuffie gave herself a shake. "What... did you DO!?!" She screamed, hand automatically reaching for her shuriken. That seemed to start a chain reaction: Cid whirled his spear; Cait hopped on a snarling Red's head and from behind her, Yuffie could hear the distinctive sound of Vincent, Tseng, Rufus, Tseng and Barret cocking their guns.

"Me?" Squall elegantly arched his eyebrows, blinking at the loud kid in front of him. "I simply fixed things." Cold grayish-blue eyes narrowed. "That blond crossed the line: I taught him not to do it again." He grinned, winking at Tifa who just frowned angrily and hugged Cloud tighter to her chest. "And Reno was forgetting to whom he belonged, to whom he owned love and worship. I corrected it easily."

"YOU SICK FUCK!!" Lunging forward, the young ninja swung her weapon, a killing light in her usually playful, soft brown eyes. "YOU KILLED MY GODCHILDREN AND THEIR FATHER!" The others watched in shock, not accustomed to either their friend's furious tone, or the tears slipping from her eyes. "How COULD you…?"

Squall chuckled, stepping aside and watching Yuffie shot past him. "Simple. I love Reno, Reno loves me... those children would be in our way so I had to do what a man gotta do to make sure we live happily ever after. Blondie here tried to keep me away but we can easily see that he epically failed that task."

Growling, the small girl whipped around. "Reno does NOT love you!!" She screamed, charging.

Grumbling to himself, Cid decided that he had enough waiting and whirled his spear, shooting forward with a snarl. "Ya went too far!" He roared, peeking worriedly at her blond friend and at the man's lover, meters away. "Spike and Red belong to each other, you piece of shit!" Behind the pilot, Vincent only nodded, firing with skill, being careful not to hit anyone but his intended target, his bullets whizzing by Cid and almost hitting him.

Squall, this time, laughed. "Guys, guys... Why don't we talk about it? Fighting doesn't take us anywhere." He smirked, jumping back before running across the room and grabbing his sword from the ground, turning sharply to fire at the group.

Stepping forward and in front of the others, Vincent fired off several shots that met the ones from Squall's weapon, the two canceling each other and falling to the floor. "There is no talking." His deep voice rumbled. "You will die today." Summoning a part of Chaos, he lunged forward, knocking Squall to the ground at the two rolled across the floor. Squall grunted, struggling to get up and slash at the enemy.

on the other side of the room and by the entrance, having left the kids with Zexion at the store so that the teen could show them around town when he closed the shop, Marluxia licked his lips and ran right through the battle, dodging to avoid any hits as he tried to reach Reno. "Oh no, Reno…!" He whimpered as he fell, crawling hastily across the floor and turning the redhead, paling.

Whimpering back, said redhead tilted his head up with a small cry, tears leaking from the corners of his glazed eyes. "Marlu... they're gone..." Sobbing, Reno placed his head back on the ground and curled up more.

Nearby, and leaping up after the roll, Vincent swung his body around and pointed his gun right between the eyes of a stunned Squall. "Any last words…?"

Squall sneered, quickly ducking and jumping up, kicking at Vincent's chin, barely dodging the three bullets fired by Cerberus on that instant. "Oh, fuck off!" He snarled, slashing at Cid's side and swinging his sword to block Barret's bullets and Yuffie's shuriken. He had better things to do than playing with these bastards!

"UFH…!" Staggering back for a moment, Vincent straightened just in time to see Cid take a hit from the other man. "No!" Growling, he watched as his friend skid across the ground. "CID…!"

Everyone heard Yuffie's war cry, watching as the girl jumped and spun, landing a strong kick onto the back of the Squall's head. "You BASTARD…!" She screamed at the top of her lungs.

"You're not any better yourself!" Squall let out a pained laugh, grunting when both Elena and Tseng shot his shoulder and side.

Snarling, Cid leapt up from his place on the floor. "We're a whole lot better than ya! Ya deranged psychopath!!" Picking up his spear, he whirled it twice before jabbing the tip into the ground. Using it as leverage, he swung himself up, smashing the heels of his boots into the dark haired man's face, sending him crashing to the ground once more. Tifa screamed and squeezed Cloud, ducking as Squall flew over her head and crashed down nearby. "Sorry Tifa!!"

"Watch where you're tossing, old man!!" Yuffie snapped.

"Shut it brat!!"

Shaking his head at his companion's squabble, Cait's eyes widened when he saw just WHERE Cid's toss had landed Squall. "Reno!! Look out…!"

Jerking his head up, Reno's eyes widened. "Marlu…! Look out!!" He warned weakly, pained eyes locking with Squall's.

Marluxia blinked and looked over his shoulder, yelling as he quickly dodged to avoid Squall's gun. "GET AWAY FROM HIM!" The brunette screamed, struggling to his feet.

The pink haired man snarled as he watched a few of his pink hairs pooling by his knees. "You shall never…" He snarled, getting up and lashing out at the swordsman, kicking him square in the chin and sending him flying against the glass door leading to the pool, watching Squall fall on the ground and being covered by sharp shards of glass. "... SCREAM ON A PINK-HAIRED MAN'S FACE!" He yelled, brushing his hair before kneeling back on the ground. "Hunny, we need to get you out of here..." He whispered, now calmer as his normal self.

Looking up at his friend, shock written across his face, Reno nodded. "Yea..." Sighing lowly, he tried to sit up, a fresh wave of tears falling down his face when he saw a tiny arm poking out from the mess that was his stomach. Feeling a bit sick, he reached down and gently held the tiny palm, heart shattering. "Why... why us..." the Turk sobbed.

Marluxia put his hand against his mouth, trying to calm his nausea. He was a doctor but he had never seen something like that. 'It must have been the mako; it must be the reason they grew so fast.' He thought, picking up Reno and turning. "Anyone…!" He screamed to the rest of the room. "I need help to carry Cloud!"

Watching the others keep Squall at bay, Vincent turned with a flicker of his cape and re-entered the house. Kneeling down by the blonde hero's side, he ran a gentle hand through bloodied hair. "... Don't die…" He whispered, carefully picking Cloud up, wincing as the man's head, legs and arms pended as if he was a lifeless doll. "Reno needs you... We need you…" Turning to the pink haired man, he sent the small redhead an unreadable look and nodded. "Let's go."

Marluxia nodded at the creepy man before approaching him and giving Cloud a quick examination with his eyes. "… We need to hurry up." He said faintly, flinching at the blood slowly leaking from the blonde's wounds and dripping down Vincent's clothes. He could put his hand on fire that the blond wouldn't last much longer by the way Cloud was pale. "To the truck…! It'll be easier to carry the injured!" he exclaimed, running to the door and quickly approaching the parked vehicle, laying Reno down next to Tifa, who had followed them. "You two take care of them. If anything happens, scream and I'll help." The pink haired man explained urgently at Vincent before closing the doors and sprinting to the driver's seat.

He had two lives to save.

Near the pool, Squall snarled angrily, watching as his beloved was taken away. "COME BACK HERE!" He screamed, wanting to follow the vehicle but being stopped by Rufus and his loaded gun.

"Now, now... Where do you think you are going?" The blonde asked calmly, a deadly light in his eyes. "You have just mentally destroyed one of my Turks, my favorite one mind you, and could have quite possibly killed the one man who he has ever given his entire heart to." Cocking the shotgun, Rufus smirked, seeing the others quickly surrounding the trapped man. "I'm afraid your escape is wont be allowed." Raising the gun, he shot two rounds of bullets, uncaring of the way the other's body jerked backwards.

Squall grunted in great pain as he fell on his back, clutching his chest. The bastard shot him! "R-Reno's mine." He snarled, looking up with hate. "Ever since he was nothing but a skinny, little teenager, he's MINE!" He yelled, coughing a mouthful of blood onto the ground, gasping at the pain.

Raising an eyebrow, Rufus walked over and pulled out a small pistol from his pocket, throwing his empty gun over his shoulder. "That is where you are wrong." Smirking, he pointed the gun between the other's eyes. "Ever since he was a teenager, he has been MINE. MY bodyguard, MY Turk, and I have just recently handed him over to Cloud. So you see," He pulled the safety back. "He never was and never will be yours... So, any last words before I put you down like the dog you are?"

Squall breathed heavily as he stared at Rufus. "... He'll come with me anyway." He murmured, chuckling before quickly clenching his lips together as he tried to suppress the pain. "I ran him through with my sword... he has lost too much blood so he'll die." He grinned dreamingly. "Then he'll be mine for eternity. Mine, you hear?! MINE!!!"

Sneering, Rufus fired a single shot, bullet penetrating the wounded man's skull. Staring down at Squall's corpse with a blank look on his face, Rufus continued to shoot until the gun clicked, empty. "... Tseng..." Turning to his best Turk, he stared at him. "I'm leaving it up to you to check on Reno. Do NOT let him die." He ordered, kicking the limp body on the floor. "And someone clean up this mess."

Elena and Tseng saluted their boss. "Yes, sir…!" They exclaimed strongly before scattering.

Everybody followed the example and started to scatter as well. "Will they be okay?" Yuffie whispered, leaning against the wall as she peeked inside and at all the blood in the house.

Nanaki hung his furry head. "We don't know..." He whispered, raising his head to look up at the clear sky.

Happiness was yet to come for his friends.
