Misery
Ch. 13
I walked over to the 7th Heaven a few minutes later. When I walked in, I saw Cloud and Tifa talking. "Cloud I have so much to do here yet to
close up for tonight." "Tifa I'll close up for you. Go ahead and see Marlene." They both turned and Tifa smiled. "You sure?" "Oh yeah. I'm bored
anyway." "Great! Thanks! I owe you one!" "Ready?" Cloud asked Tifa. "Yeah. Let's go." "Bye guys." They said bye back and I started cleaning up for
Tifa.
The door opened shortly after and I heard loud stomps. Like heavy boots. I told myself to keep my back turned. I had a feeling it wasn't
someone I was going to be glad to see. Finally, I whipped out my daggar and spun around...Reno took a gasp of air as my daggar sat at his throat.
After a second of realizing who it was. I pulled the daggar away and put it back in my pants. "Sorry about that Reno. I've been really jumpy as of
late. I carry that around with me in case Kadaj or his gang shows up." Reno let out a big breath. "Whoo you scared me there." "Sorry." He sat down
and didn't say anything. It was dead quiet except fro dishes clacking together. I dropped a glass into the sink, breaking it. I reached in to grab the
pieces and cut my fingers open. "Ouch." Reno rushed behind the counter, seeing the blood. He stood behind me, his hands on mine and trying to
help stop the blood flow.
I found myself blushing at the fact that his body was against mine and his hands were on mine. "Kai don't move. I'm gonna go get some
bandages." "Okay." I stood there, his concerned face mocking my memory. For some reason, my mind would not give up on hating him. My thoughts
were interrupted when Reno rushed back in.
He bandaged my fingers while I was just left to stare at him. "There. You're as good as new." It was just now that I noticed the faint trial of blood
on Reno's neck. "Reno, you neck..." He reached to his neck and was surprised to feel a warm liquid. "Here. Let me take care of that." "I had no idea I
was bleeding." I looked down. "I'm sorry." I grabbed the bandages and bandaged his neck, thinking of what he said when I was asleep. /You're...my
world.../ I finished with Reno and left the 7th Heaven. Reno soon followed me. "Hey...what's wrong?" "Nothing. I'm alright. I promise." "You sure? You
know you can talk to me about anything." I stopped. "I'm fine. Honest. There's just a lot on my mind." "Okay." I heard Reno say as he sighed. "I'll see
you later." He left me alone in the middle of the square. I looked up at the monument that Shinra had built.
I heard a strong, high pitch noise forcing me down to my knees, grabbing the sides of my head. Oh my god was this sound hurting my ears. My
eyesight blurred out. Seconds later, my vision was back, but my sight was way different. A piece of glass shining in the sun caught my eye. I looked
into it, my eyes looking very different indeed. They were blue and green with black slits in the middle. "Jenova's...memetic legacy? But how.." My
memory suddenly flashed back to me lying on an operating table. I looked back again and I had my normal sky blue eye color. I stood up looking
around. I heard a laugh from behind me. I spun around, not seeing anyone. "You must be a sister. Hard to believe really." I took a quick glance
behind me. I withdrew my daggar and had it pressed against the man's throat faster than he knew what was happening. My palm sat against the end
of the daggar in my closed fist, ready to plunge it into his throat. "You have very fast reflexes." I stared at the man with cold, dark eyes. /Where have I
seen him before/ "You'd make a good addition to our team." "Yazoo!" I shouted, realizing who it was. "Oh. You remember me." "How could I forget
you? Those cold eyes...you tried to kill me remember!" "Oh did I? I'm sorry." I growled. "Don't mess with me. I will kill you." I pushed my daggar an
inch further into his throat, drawing blood. His eyes never flinched at all. The eyes..no emotion...so...lifeless...Before I knew what was happening, I
was kicked to the ground. /Dammit! You let your guard down! Get up/ Drawing my sword from a hidden spot in my clothing Yazoo and I fought. It was
hard to keep up with him. I parried all of his shots at me. "I'm impressed. You're about as good as Cloud when it comes to blocking my bullets." I spun around behind him, my sword at his throat. I watched his eyes glance back at him. He spun around, his gun in my face. I barely had enough time to block. The sheer force of the shot knocked me onto my back. I scrambled up but saw Yazoo standing over me, his gun pointed at me. "Don't get too cocky." I said, as I pushed my blade into his chest. "You fire that gun and I sware that I will take you to hell with me." He started to laugh. "I might like that..." "Get the...HELL off me!" I jumped up, knocking the gun from his hand. I stood there, watching him. He didn't move, but I saw him glance at his gun continously. "Don't even think about it." He glanced one more time, then jumped to grab it. I ran after him. Yazooo got to his gun and shot. I blocked and kept running at him. Getting closer, my eyes started to blur again. I tried to concentrate on Yazoo, but it was getting harder and harder to by the minute. My sword was knocked out of my hands as I was punched to the ground. I landed on my side, hard. I had trouble even getting ot my kness. As I saw Yazoo advancing, I took out my daggar as the last second and threw it at him. He caught it, much to my shock and dismay. /No way/ Yazoo kneeled beside me just looking at me. I went to throw a punch but he grabbed my arm and held it down behind my back. As much as I struggled, I could not get free. "It's pointless to struggle Kai. You are at my mercy." "Gee. Don't I feel special." "You have beautiful eyes." "Keep your eyes off me." I tried to manuver my feet without him knowing.
Before he knew what was happening, I flipped him into the air. I ran to get my sword, grabbing it just in time. "It's too bad Reno isn't this tough." "Leave him out of this!" Yazoo smiled. "I've struck a soft spot have I?" "I've had enough of you! Come get some!" We ran at each other, metal clashing with metal. /How can he have so much energy when I'm losing mine so quickly/
Yazoo punched me to the ground again and this time, I couldn't get up. I had no energy left. As I layed there on the cement breathing heavily, I was happy to see I had ruffed up Yazoo a bit. The next thing I remembered was seeing Yazoo walk towards me and then...darkness...
