Chapter 4

Akemi's confusion was still growing. For the whole week she had tried running away only to be brought back by her brothers and then have a talk with Kadaj. They knew that they had to be easy with her because of her seizures that would just come and go.

Now she had to use Kadaj's bike when ever they went anywhere she's sit in the front sideways and Kadaj would sit behind her with his arms wrapped around her and hands holding onto the handle bars. This started when she was riding along and then started shaking and fell off again only to have Loz's bike run over her legs and crush them! Her legs were still severely broken and Kadaj wouldn't let her get any medical attention!

Now she didn't really want to ride motorbikes because of the vibrating pain that it would send shooting through her legs.

Since Loz had come into her room that night and tried to rape, her things had been different. She hated being on her own and her trust for her brothers had been shaken.

That night, Kadaj rolled over to his side in bed and felt something blocking his way. When he opened his eyes he saw Akemi sleeping next to him her face looking like she was in pain. Kadaj sat up and turned his lamp on which was on his shelf just above his bed. "Akemi," He said shaking her awake. "What are you doing in here?"

Akemi brought a hand up to her forehead and tiredly sighed. "I didn't want to be alone incase I had another seizure." She told him trying to go back to sleep.

"How did you get in here if you're legs are broken?" He asked her resting his head on his hand. "So far we've had to carry you everywhere."

"I yawn crawled…" She trailed off feeling tired and going back to sleep.

Kadaj shook his head. "You can't stay in here. I only have a single bed. It was different when you were eight." He looked down and saw that she was already asleep. "Sister…" He also trailed off before falling asleep himself.

The next day when Akemi woke up she wondered why she was in the living room lying on the sofa when she remembered falling asleep in Kadaj's room. She looked down at herself and was surprised when she saw that she was dressed in her usual attire. Kadaj didn't change me again did he? She asked herself blushing.

Akemi heard something coming from behind the sofa. She sat up the best she could and saw Yazoo changing the light bulb that had gone out during the storm that happened about two weeks ago. "Yazoo…?" She asked causing him to look at her. "Where is everyone else?"

"Their downstairs fixing up the bikes so that we can search for Mother." He told her sitting down at the end of the sofa. "Kadaj wants you to come."

Akemi sighed knowing just how painful it would be for her. "Can't I just sit this one out?" She asked him. He shook his head and caressed the side of her face with the back of his hand. "What's with all the concern?" She asked him.

"Don't you remember?" When she said no he continued. "Kadaj brought you down here when you woke up in the night having a bad seizure. You were shaking, screaming that it hurt, thrashing about and trying to attack us, and coughing a lot." He told her. "We really thought that you wouldn't make it." He sighed. "Kadaj got you dressed and then we took you to the small beach that's nearby hoping that it would clear your lungs out. Luckily it worked."

"Clear my lungs?" She asked him not so sure she knew what he meant.

"Yeah," He nodded. "I said that you were coughing a lot, which was because your lungs were filed up with flem and other fluids. The sea air usually helps other people with chest problems so it helped yours." He explained to her. "You were rather confused and had a very bad temperature. You also kept mumbling strange things that made no sense what so ever."

/Flashback/

Kadaj woke up when he felt his bed vibrating. He looked over his shoulder at Akemi who was shaking like crazy and coughing. He put a hand on her forehead and felt that she was boiling hot, he was rather surprised that she hadn't melted into a puddle of water already.

He knew that she had to get cool, fast. So he quickly striped her of her clothing and put her in the bath which was in her miniature bathroom.

He turned on the cold tap and left her alone for a few minutes to tell Yazoo and Loz what was going on. He left her in the bath for about an hour before getting her out, dried, and wrapped up in a white towel.

Kadaj took her downstairs and put her on the sofa. She was still coughing and shaking a lot but at least her fever had gone down now. "Help me, no it's not, go back…" She mumbled closing her eyes.

Akemi was given all sorts of medication from her brothers but her coughing still wouldn't stop. "I'll take her upstairs and get her ready to go outside. We can't take bikes." Kadaj told them taking her upstairs and getting her ready to go.

They arrived at the beach and sat down with her on the cold wet sand. Much to their relief her coughing did stop and her shaking did die down a small bit. They headed back and put her on the sofa. They also fell asleep down their with her.

/End flashback/

"Oh." Akemi said looking down at the table. "I'm sorry that you didn't get a good nights sleep." She apologised.

Yazoo was about to speak but Kadaj walked in at that moment followed by Loz. "You're awake now then." Kadaj said kneeling down in front of her. She nodded and smiled up at him.

"Thank you for helping me."

Kadaj put his arm under her shoulders and the other arm under her knees and then lifted her off the leather sofa with ease. "We're going to search for Mother, or suspects who might know where Mother is." He took her down the concrete stairs and into the garage where the bikes were.

Kadaj put her on the front of his in the position that she usually sat in, side wards, Kadaj was behind her so she lent her body against his chest, her hands lightly around his waist.

She braced herself as the engine started causing her legs more pain than what they were already in. She held onto her brother's waist tighter as the bike started moving. "Kadaj!" She shouted over the noise of the bikes. "Where are we headed?"

"We don't know!" He replied.

They'd been travelling now for over three hours now and they hadn't gotten any information what so ever. At last they turned around and headed back seeing that there were no clues there.

That day had told Akemi something. There is no sign of Mother and it probably doesn't even exist. She didn't want her brothers to take over the world, and she didn't want to be a part of it. She wanted to find out the reasons of her creation. Then maybe she could die in peace. Everything went wrong when she told her brothers this in the gentlest way she could put it. They went crazy again. Kadaj was telling her that she shouldn't even think such things; Loz was telling her that she should be cut up into little pieces for saying such things, and Yazoo was just going on about all the things that they had ever done for her and she couldn't even put herself out for them.

After she had been taken to bed that night. She didn't care how much it would hurt her, how much hassle it would be she would run away that night. She got dressed and headed downstairs. She had to get some answers. She had spent a long time getting used to the pain in her legs. She didn't bother with getting anything to take with her on her journey except her guns and herself. She couldn't take her motorbike for two reasons; one she couldn't sit on it and if she did she would most likely have another attack, two when her brothers realised that she had gone then the motorbike tracks would be easier to see.

Akemi slowly and painfully walked downstairs and walked over to the door. She opened it and looked behind her before she walked out knowing that it might be the last time she would be able to look at the place she practically grew up in. She shut the door and began walking away on her long journey.

X-X-X-X-X-X-X-X-X-X-X-X-X-X-X-X-X-X-X-X-X-X-X-X-X-X-X-X-X-X-X-X-X-X-X-X-X-X-X-X-X-X-X-X-X

The next day when the three brothers woke up and they couldn't find Akemi they guessed that she had run away and the first things that they did was get on their bikes and search for her.

X-X-X-X-X-X-X-X-X-X-X-X-X-X-X-X-X-X-X-X-X-X-X-X-X-X-X-X-X-X-X-X-X-X-X-X-X-X-X-X-X-X-X-X-X

The first place that Akemi went was the healing lodge where the president Rufus Shinra was. He knew about their creation and he had their files.

Akemi walked over to the doors where a man with bright red hair was standing. "Is the president Shinra here?" She asked him.

"Yeah, he's just inside but… why would you want to see him?" He asked her.

"I have my reasons." She plainly replied walking over to the doors. She felt his hand firmly grasp her arm. "What?"

"I can't let you in unless you tell me why."

Akemi looked at him and could tell that he was a girl catcher and was always out to get them. "Well, maybe if you let me in then I'll see you later." She said trying to sound like she would say something like that. And to her surprise… he let her in!

When she walked inside she saw the president talking to a man with spiky blonde hair and a woman with black hair, beside him was a bald bodyguard. She could see that they were busy talking so she just waited in the corner of the room behind the door.

After about ten minutes Reno ran in panting like crazy the door swinging in front of her hiding her from view. "Reno. What is it?" The bald man known as Rude asked him.

"I swear that I've just been seduced by a really young girl with a weird walk." He said causing Akemi to hide her laughing Rude, the president, Cloud, and Tifa all shook their heads. "You don't believe me do you?" He asked them all. "I swear that I'm telling the truth now!" Rude just shook his head and dragged Reno outside.

Akemi smiled and waited for their conversation to be over. Rude dragged Reno back in and looked rather angry. "What is it now?" Rufus Shinra asked them both.

"He let some girl in here just so that he could crawl into bed with her." Rude said. Akemi sighed. "Let's just hope that she isn't dangerous."

"Me dangerous?" She said stepping out from behind the door. "I'm the one who's always getting into danger!"

"Who are you?" Shinra asked her.

"My name's Akemi. You can continue with your conversation I can wait." She told him casually. She wanted to scream when she got the sick feeling that she got in her stomach before she started having one of her attacks. Knowing that she was going to have one soon and she didn't want to interrupt the others from their discussion she quietly walked outside.

When she was outside she saw Reno looking at her from the other wall beside the door.

"Thanks a lot." She heard Reno say. "I'm gonna be in big trouble now."

"Not a-as mu-much tro-troub-le as I'm gonna be i-in." She shakily said starting to feel her muscles turn against her again. "You-re only i-in trouble f-for let-ting m-me in." She paused trying to catch her breath and not draw any attention to herself. "I-I'm in trou-ble for mo-more than you'll ev-ever be."

Reno looked down her in confusion but didn't ask about her condition. "How so?"

"…"

Cloud and Tifa walked out. "Are you alright?" Tifa asked her noticing her condition.

Akemi nodded. "H-happens all the ti-time."

Cloud bent down in front of her. "He said that you can see him now." Akemi nodded and walked inside.

She walked inside and saw Rufus Shinra sitting there with Rude standing beside him. "There was something you wanted?" He asked her.

"Y-yes." She sighed. "I w-would like my f-files." She replied.

"You're files?" He questioned her.

"Yes. Wh-when I was onl-y sev-en or eight year-s old I esca-ped from the scie-nce lab that made me in-to one o-of the rem-nents. I alwa-ys wond-ered why I was create-ed if I wasn't ne-eded."

"Is that all that you came here for?" Shinra asked her expecting more.

"Y-yeah."

"Rude. Get this girls files." He looked back at her. "While you're here maybe you should get your medical needs sorted." He said realising her broken legs and seizure.

"Thank you. B-but I really ha-have to get bac-k to my br-others."

"The other remnants? Why not just wait for them here. You have walked a long way after all?"

Akemi looked up to him with painful eyes. "As lo-long as I can wa-it for my brothers…" Were Akemi's last words before passing out.

Rude caught her just in time. "Take her to one of the beds. Don't do anything to her until her family arrive." Were the president's orders.
