When Yazoo awoke he found Kadaj sat at the end of his bed.

"That's seriously creepy" said Yazoo leaning over to get his trousers and other clothes.

"I did not hear you come in last night" said Kadaj

"I made sure I was quiet" said Yazoo slipping on his trousers. Kadaj got to his feet.

"What were you up to?" asked Kadaj

"My own business" said Yazoo getting to his feet and slipping on his top. Yazoo reached out to pick up his pendant but Kadaj's hand shot forwards and snatched it before Yazoo could.

"Hey!" said Yazoo trying to grab it from Kadaj but Kadaj slapped his hand aside.

"You do know why I have given you this?" asked Kadaj.

"Of course I do" said Yazoo who had taken a step towards Kadaj. Yazoo took another step forwards to grab the silver pendant but Kadaj caught his arm and flipped him over. Kadaj stood on Yazoo

"You have this because you are one of us" said Kadaj to the struggling Yazoo "Should you stray any longer, then this pendant comes back to me" Yazoo's hand shot down to his rifle. Yazoo drew his rifle and shot at Kadaj. Kadaj stepped back and drew his own sword as Yazoo flipped back onto his feet and pointed his rifle at Kadaj.

"You've never pointed your weapon at me" said Kadaj "What is it about this woman that has clouded your judgment?"

"Maybe I'm seeing clearly, for once" said Yazoo.

"Maybe" said Kadaj and then struck. Yazoo's weapon was knocked sideways and its owner was sent crashing onto his bed. Yazoo sat up and Kadaj threw his pendant at him.

"You can keep it for now" said Kadaj "But tow the line" Kadaj turned on his heel and walked out of Yazoo's room.

When Yazoo got up and walked out of his room he could not find Kadaj. Quistis came over to him

"Problem?" she asked seeing the young mans expression.

"No" said Yazoo "Could you do me a favour?" he asked. Quistis beamed

"Sure!" she said.

"Could you keep away from Kadaj?" he asked. Quistis' face fell

"Don't you trust me?" she asked.

"Of course I do" said Yazoo "But he's not happy with me hanging around with you so much"

"Well he's just going to have to accept it" said Quistis linking Yazoo's arm.

"No" said Yazoo pulling away "You have to promise me that you'll stay away from him, he's very dangerous"

"Okay" said Quistis solemnly.

"Thank you" said Yazoo linking Quistis' arm. They then set off for the Quad to meet up with Selphie and Irvine.

A floor above them Kadaj and Loz were watching the two of them.

"Now what?" asked Loz looking down at the couple who were slowly disappearing into the distance of the packed Garden. Many of the pupils had now left their dormitories and Yazoo and Quistis were barely visible in the mass. Kadaj took Loz' rifle in one hand and aimed at Yazoo's back. His pupils contracted as he locked onto his target; then he fired.
