Author's Notes-- Well, we've all read those Rufus angst fics. Well, this is a bit different.

Dear Father
By: Aegis

President Shinra's body lied there, still as a rock. Sephiroth, Shinra's former 'perfect soldier' had just stabbed his former boss right through the back. Now, the oversized, greedy man was dead and the sins of his actions have been repaid.

The chopper finally arrived at Shinra's headquarters. Cloud and his crew had the perfect timing to meet the new president of Shinra, Rufus. A tall, lean and perfect man stepped out of the chopper to meet his new foes. Then, he saw his father's lifeless body and quickly looked away.

*Oh my god, he's so lifeless...* Rufus thought. It was too much for the young president. The father he knew...the father he admired...and the father he loved was gone. *How?...How could he die so easily? He was strong and brave. He couldn't have died. He's not dead! He can't be dead...Dad...* Thoughts of his father flew rapidly in Rufus' mind. A tear was forming when suddenly, a certain memory shone.

"Daddy, why are they burying Grandma?" A young boy squeaked, as his eyes reflected a coffin.

"Rufus, Grandma is dead. To be able to return in Lifestream peacefully, Grandma must be buried." President Shinra explained to his younger son.

The coffin was lowered into the deep, dark hole. Rufus stared at his dead grandma, blankly. After a while, he looked over to his father again.

"But why?"

"You already know why..."

"I mean why are they burying her? Grandma is not dead." A small smile formed on Rufus lips. "She can't be dead! She's not DEAD!!!!" Rufus screamed loudly, as tears fell from his eyes.

"Rufus! CALM DOWN!" It was obvious that President Shinra was getting annoyed with his son. "Grandma is dead and you just have to accept that. Death is just a part of life, remember that"

Rufus looked at his father curiously, and then he began to cry again. "No! I won't accept it! I can't accept such a horrible thing to be a part of something wonderful!" Rufus ran away from the funeral.
