Chapter 2

Yazoo had thought that it was his brother come for him when he had felt the zipper of his leather jacket being undone. Shock was not sufficient enough to describe what he felt when he saw that it was that black haired woman who hung around Cloud.

Marlene had made him feel better for some reason. He remembered sending the child back to Strife after their fight. He had been torn between anger and fear at his enemies treating his wounds. His brothers had been the only ones to do so before. He recognized the red clad man who had fixed his knee. They had seen each other at the Forgotten Capitol across the lake. Each had watched the other for a few moments before Kadaj had come to get Yazoo and the man had disappeared.

The thought of Kadaj sent a slice of pain through Yazoo's heart. They had been closer than he had been to Loz. Although he missed both his brothers terribly the loss of Kadaj felt sharpest. But if he had survived then maybe Loz had as well? It would make sense if he was thrown someplace where he couldn't be easily found. If anyone should have survived the blast it should have been Loz not Yazoo. Exhaustion began to take over his mind again.

/Cloud, brother, he had brought him here, Why? Did it matter/ Yazoo felt his cold anger seep into him. He wasn't supposed to be here. He should be with his brothers. He would endure accepting help from the enemy. He would endure it for the chance to find his bother. His leg and ribs would heal in a few days and he would go and search. He kept his eyes closed when he heard Cloud enter the room and talked with Tifa.

The sounds that came after said that Cloud would be sleeping in the same room. Yazoo listened until Cloud became quiet. He knew the other man was injured as well. He had shot him with Velvet Nightmare after all. He couldn't be in as bad a shape as Yazoo though. He had seemed alright while bandaging him. Either way there was no possibilyt that Yazoo could escape now.

Yazoo let himself drift in to a real sleep where for the first time there was no Sephiroth or Mother. Instead there was a peacefully sleeping Kadaj and Loz screaming his name.
