Ah! Reviews! ((cheers))

Ive had so much fun writing this story, thanks you guys! I really liked writing last chapter, Sephiroth's persoanlity is so cool! And now I get to write out even more characters, so I'm in a state of bliss now.

Sorry to you guys, but not alot of Yazoo this chapter either!

Here's the next one!

"Can I see some I.D., please?" A guard curtly asked Kadaj. They were standing at the front entrance to the massive ShinRa headquarters.

"Look, I don't have any I.D. But I need to get through to meet ShinRa-san!" Kadaj shouted.

"Sir, I need to see your I.D.!" The guard ordered. Kadaj shook his head, and casually pushed the guard aside, walking right past him and onto the elevator.

Naturally, the moment the elevator doors opened on the 61st floor, Guards were flooding the room.

"Nice response time." Noted Kadaj as he walked in.

One of the guards brought up his gun to Kadaj's face, and put his finger on the trigger. Kadaj summoned the blue light to his hand and began to fight through the crowd, blindly plowing through the men as gunfire rang in his ears.

"Hey, Guys! Leave him alone!" Everyone stopped in their tracks and looked up to see who had shouted at them. Standing in the doorway to the next room was a tall man, not much older then Kadaj.

His hair was spiky and bright red, and his eyes were blue. Standing beside him was a muscular man about 6'5. Both were in Blue Suits and had sunglasses, even though the first man wasn't wearing his. They were instead propped up on his head.

"This guy's okay." The red head said again. "Now get outta here." He jerked his thumb towards the door, and the soldiers began to file out until only Kadaj and the blue suited were left.

"Great Entrance! I'd give it three thumbs up. That is, if I had three thumbs. My name's Reno, and my voice deprived friend over here is Rude." The red haired man said. Rude grunted in reply to Reno's joke, but Reno just patted him on the back and laughed.

"Your Turks aren't you?" Kadaj asked testily.

"Now, no need to jump to conclusions...er..."

"Kadaj." He said simply.

"Right. I met your brother, interesting man."

"Indeed."

"Anyways, I was hired to escort you to ShinRa-sama's office, so we could avoid a little showdown like that one. Let's be on our way, I wanna get off work early." Reno walked into the elevator, Rude and Kadaj squeezing in behind him.

"Don't know why the hell you got off on this level." Reno muttered under his breath as he jabbed buttons on the panel.

"Excuse me?" Inquired Kadaj.

"Ah, nothing." Replied Reno.

They were all silent as the elevator moved noisily up the building, then a small ding indicated that they had arrived at the very last floor.

They strode into an elaborate office, with a huge wrap around desk and an enourmous window with a view of Midgar. The sun was already beginning to sink behind the plate, as Kadaj had noted silently.

But ShinRa-san was nowhere to be spotted in the room.

"This way." Reno walked over to another door. "Now, before we go in.."

Rude suddenly began to move his hand up and down Kadaj's body. Having enough already of this, Kadaj jumped back and shouted, "Hey!"

Reno watched him with an amused look on his face. "Sorry, forgot to warn you. Rude here was just checking for weapons." And indeed, when Kadaj looked down, he saw his precious sword in Rude's rough hands.

Kadaj reluctantly let him take it. Reno opened the door. "We'll be waiting for you when your done."

Kadaj slowly stepped into the room, his eyes finding it hard to adjust to the dim light.

The room was small, with a bookcase on one side and a small couch and rug on the other. In the middle, near the shaded window was a cloaked man in a wheelchair.

Not knowing really what to do, Kadaj walked further in and kneeled before the chair, bowing his head and then looking up into the cloak. He was taken just a bit aback by the young face he found under the cloak, he had expected someone with such a high reputation to be older.

A chuckle emitted from him. "Hello, Kadaj. So I finally meet one of you. A child of this 'Jenova'. I suppose you were surprised by my appearance, weren't you?"

Kadaj remained silent as he stood up again. ShinRa-san lifted a hand from his cloak and held it up to the light. Kadaj saw it was almost see through, and the light filtered through it as though it were just glass.

"A funny thing, Geostigma is. Infecting those it sees fit, and killing them slowly. Giving them time to go over what they've done before dying. I guess this is just punishment for me." ShinRa-san mused. Kadaj thought for a second back to Toyo. Would he become almost non exsistant?

"ShinRa-san, we need your help to-"

"Defeat Sephiroth? How could he be a bother to you?" Rufus asked, slipping his hand back under his cloak and facing Kadaj, who had now turned away from him to face the wall.

"In more ways then one." Kadaj muttered, smiling a bit in spite of himself.

"Hm. But you realize this will require something on your part." ShinRa-san stated.

A flicker of rage lit up inside Kadaj. Yazoo hadn't warned him about that. "O-Of course..." Replied Kadaj, just a bit reluctantly.

"As long as ShinRa is assiting you, you're under their orders."

Kadaj said nothing, turning around slightly to face Rufus. This was becoming another lose-lose situation. But he would be the only one involoved in this. His brothers didn't have to sign up with this deal either.

"Alright."

Kadaj could spy Rufus grinning under his cloak. "Very good. We had been meaning to leave Sephiroth be for now until later, but now I guess we can pay him an early visit. And the scitentists of ShinRa, Inc have some interesting new ideas now that Sephiroth's returned. But we'll get to that all in good time. You are dismissed."

Kadaj walked out of the room, right past Reno and Rude, grabbing his sword from Reno's grip. "I can find my own way back, thanks." He growled.

Back at 'home', Kadaj stomped through the apartment, past Loz sitting on the couch to his bedroom, where Yazoo was leaning in the doorway, watching Toyo. Toyo's chest and abdomen were covered in bandages, and he was now occupying Kadaj's bed.

Yazoo looked up as Kadaj walked by. "Sorry, Brother. There was no where else to put him."

"It's okay." Kadaj sighed.

"He ought to be okay soon, but look at this..." Yazoo strode over and pointed to Toyo's far right arm.

Kadaj couldn't exactly explain it, but one patch of skin looked lighter then the rest.

"No..." Muttered Kadaj. "Dammit!"

"Geostigma..." Yazoo softly whispered.

"It's already spreading!" Kadaj cried.

Yazoo walked out, face clouded."I've got to go. Things to do, people to find.."

Kadaj sat down on the bed, and leaned over Toyo, their faces close. "I love you.." He whispered.Then he shut his eyes, exhausted from the days events.
