Chapter 3

"Brother,"

"I really miss you."

"…I told you to give him a drink, not knock him out."

"Well it's not my fault he wanted to drink so much."

Tifa and Reno looked down at a now unconscious Kadaj.

"What are we supposed to do with him now?" Reno asked.

"How about getting him back to his room?"

"You say that like you expect me to carry him there."

"Thanks for volunteering, his room is 1337 on the seventh floor." She gave Reno a key card and left.

"Hey! I've got a bar to run."

Tifa was already gone.

"…" Reno took another look at Kadaj and picked him up.

"Let's get you back up to your room." He said with a deep sigh.

He headed for the elevators with Kadaj in his arms.

"Brother…" Kadaj snuggled against Reno's chest.

"What kind of dream is he having?" Reno thought, slightly amused.

He got onto an elevator and made it to the seventh floor. He walked down the hall and used the key card to get into Kadaj's room with two of his fingers, then he entered and put Kadaj down onto his bed, noticing that he looked a little frightened now. He turned around to leave the room, but felt someone grab his arm.

"Don't leave! I don't want to get separated again."

It was Kadaj pulling on his arm. He was talking in his sleep, and moving around like he was awake. Reno pulled his arm away.

"Is he, really asleep?"

He took one more look at Kadaj, and saw a tear run down the side of his face.

"…I guess I could stay for a little while."

Two and a half days later.

"Ugh, my head."

Kadaj woke up with the worst headache he had ever had in his life. The room was spinning and at this point, he just wanted to go back to sleep. He buried his face into his hands and sat on his bed for a while.

"I told you that you'd get a pretty bad hangover."

Kadaj lifted his face and looked around, seeing that Reno was lying down on the same sofa that he sat on the other day.

"What happened? All I remember is taking a quick drink, anything after that is just a huge blank." Kadaj asked.

"You got a little too much to drink is what happened." Reno explained rather amused.

"How long was I asleep?

"Two days."

"What about your bar?"

"I let my friend watch after it for a while."

"One more question."

"Yeah?"

"Why are there two of you?"

Reno let out a slight laugh.

"You just need to get over that hangover of yours. It might take a while so don't do anything for now okay?"

"Alright…"

"Good. Now I need to get back to my bar, take care of yourself. If you can anyway."

"Bye."

Reno left and Kadaj lay back down on his bed. A couple hours later his headache was almost gone, and the room already stopped spinning.

"I guess I should go get some fresh air."

It was getting a little warm just sitting in his room for half the day. He stumbled out of bed and opened a window.

"That should cool down the room by the time I get back."

He searched around for a bag he brought along with him into the hotel. After a few minutes of searching he found it on a table next to the sofa. He took the bag into the bathroom and took a quick shower. After that he walked out of the bathroom, threw the bag onto the bed and left the room, making sure he had his key with him.

Kadaj walked towards the elevators and took one up to the top floor; from there he took a set of stairs up to the roof.

"I didn't think I would see anyone else up here."

He saw a hooded figure standing at the edge of the roof, looking down onto the street.
