Donum Deae – nothing but children
Making sure their newest house elf had everything set up, Narcissa smiled seeing Draco's favorite meal was set out across the large table. Even with the knowledge that this was really no longer the boy she had raised she still could only see her Draco in him.
She did want to know more about this new side of him; she got the impression by the way he and Tseng spoke that Rufus was one of those here to atone for past sins. 'And to think we nearly led him down a path of even more sin.." That really opened her eyes to the life she was living; while yes she still believed in the purity of the blood line, the man they were blindly following was leading them all to their death. It wasn't even that they were going to die in battle while they took out those that would taint their magical blood line; no this monster of a man was going to destroy all life on the planet.
Hearing about what the black materia truly did, and the fact that not even the ministry seemed to know what it was frightened her. That was a weapon ten times stronger than any muggle weapon she had heard of and yet it was barely guarded within the department of mystery. It was simply an unknown artifact with a magical property to it that according to Lucius was sitting on a shelf next to a few others found around it in a mid security section of the department.
For now though without someone inside the department or with accesses to it like Lucius had it was safe and so Rufus had instructed them to keep it there but to keep an eye on it. It would take great power to summon the meteor but Voldemort if he learned how could possibly summon it and at that point only one thing could stop it.
"Milly go retrieve the boys." The large eyed house elf in a bed sheet quickly bowed and scurried off to do as her mistress ordered. Come now just because they found out Voldemort was a psycho didn't mean they were changing all their ways.
Gently arranging the glasses she smiled seeing it was perfect and moved out into the entrance hall. She blinked hearing the yells from up towards Draco's room. Wondering what the hell was going on she had just reached the stairs when she saw Zack race out of the hallway and shoot down the stairs a very irate Genesis only steps behind him fireball in hand.
"I'm sorry I'm sorry!" Zack shouted leaping over the railing with a single bound landing on the tone floor twelve feet below and took off at a dead sprint across the room.
"Get your ass back here Fair!" Genesis growled the fireball only growing in his hand, brilliant blue eyes blazing with mako as he chased the puppy out the front door. Turning back as she heard laughter above she looked up seeing Sephiroth and Draco shaking their heads from the railing. "He will never learn.." it seemed like without Angeal here the puppy was in deep shit.
"What in Merlin's name happened?" she asked seeing Reno and Tseng moving out as well both talking to each other softly. "Zack was playing with a new fire materia and accidently lit Genesis hair on fire.." Rufus shook his head but smiled at his mother moving down to stand next to her. "If there is one thing you do not do.. is touch Gen's hair." Sephiroth found it all very amusing, frankly Genesis needed a haircut, he didn't look good with the longer hair. "Unless you are General Hotness here." Reno smirked seeing Sephiroth shooting him a nasty glare. "Seph is the only one that can man handle Gen and not end up as Kalm fried chocobo."
"Is that simply because you are his superior?" Narcissa asked seeing Genesis comeback in with a very black and soot covered Zack in tow. "He's my lover actually." Sephiroth said, unlike Harry who would have been appalled at mentioning that he was gay he had absolutely no problem. In Midgar it was very common knowledge that most SOLDIER were gay as there were not many unenhanced that could bed a SOLDIER and not come out with broken bones. Their strength was just so much higher that if they were not careful they could seriously damage their chosen partner; and since there were no females permitted into SOLDIER it was only natural to turn to one another for sexual release. A few that had decided to try and start families quickly found out that the high concentration of mako in their system had rendered them infertile. Hojo had been furious when he discovered that not only was his most prized specimen unable to produce offspring, that none of the SOLDIER could. It was even rumored that the Turks were rendered infertile as well, though that was disproven by Veld as he had a child while he was a Turk.
"Lover?" Narcissa was shocked honestly to hear that, even in the wizarding world gay couples were not that common as most strived to produce families to keep the wizarding bloodlines alive.
"Same sex couples were very common in Midgar mother." Now Rufus was kind of nervous, he forgot that his parents were homophobic. "Especially among SOLDIER and Turks…I think only one in this group here right now is straight." He saw those blue eyes of his mother lock onto his, he slowly lowered his head unable to look her in the eyes. "And it's not me.."
"Draco.. you're?" he nodded slightly and was grateful to feel Reno set a hand on his shoulder gently. "He's bi actually.. as Rufus he used to take both to his bed."
"Can we not discuss my previous bed habits please?" Rufus kept his voice low, his eyes downcast and shifting about the room. He didn't want to get into a possible fight with his mother right now about the fact that he slept with men, or more importantly just one man right now.
"Of course, dinner is ready. Draco you want to show your friends the way." Nodding Rufus headed off towards the dining room the others in tow. Feeling a hand on his arm Sephiroth stopped seeing Narcissa was holding him back; turning to face her he noticed her blue eyes searching for the tell tale scar that was currently hidden behind his long bangs.
"You really are Harry Potter aren't you." Slowly Sephiroth nodded, his cat slit eyes lidding slightly. "I was Harry Potter, but while some of him still lives in me.. I am and will always be Sephiroth. That is who I was born as and that is who I died as, so while I have been reborn I am still me. I did a lot wrong in my past life, I am not going to lose this chance at the life I always should have had."
"We owe you an apology, honestly if you and Draco had not come around and revealed what the Dark Lord was planning we would have helped him retrieve the black materia." And none of them would be alive to see the end of this war.
"Don't.. I know what it's like to be misguided.. trust me I know all too well..come.." smiling softly he offered up his arm. As the General he was taught all forms of high society manners and most of it has remained the same over the thousands of years.
Flushing slightly Narcissa smiled taking the offered arm. "My you are a gentleman."
"My guardian's raised me well, at least they would try and make you believe that they raised me well. If they were alive today they would insist that Genesis and Angeal corrupted me."
Dinner was actually a very enjoyable affair; the Malfoy's despite all previous notions about them were actually very nice very fun lovingly family.
Dinner was spent telling stories about their days at Shinra; they kept them light hearted to not drag the mood down. Most of the night was spent laughing and drinking (yes because they were far older than their 15 year old bodies the Malfoy's had brought out the good wine and spirits, though with the Mako they were far from drunk) stories flowing from each and every person.
"Do you all remember just shortly after Veld "Died"" Zack made air quotes as he said died. "And Heidegger was made the supervising power of the Turks, how every Turks went on strike."
Tseng snorted into his glass of brandy a large smile painting his face. "I believe the president dubbed it my own version of a temper tantrum."
"You had some serious balls Tseng, you weren't even Director for two days and you were telling Shinra to go fuck off.." Sephiroth shook his head, he remembered that time all to clearly as it was a few months prior to his little bout of insanity. "You got this brand new Director of the Turks, previously the commander that when he hears his men are once more under the control of that fat bastard, he ups and grabs all his Turks and goes on a two week vacation to Icicle Inn."
"The man was a moron.. why my men returned to his control I will never know." Tseng sipped his brandy. They were now in the drawing room spread out across chairs and couches; Lucius and Narcissa were both still in the room both watching with amusement as the boys retold their past lives.
"Father was furious at you." Rufus was sitting next to Tseng on the couch smiling brightly. "It was great, he was pissed as all hell but he didn't dare go against you."
"Draco, you said your father in your past life was the leader of you all, how is it that Tseng you were able to get away with so much?" Tseng actually smirked at this but would allow the others to answer. "You have never seen this man mad." Genesis shivered sitting back swirling his wine in his glass, "Tseng is one of these when he's mad no one will mess with him.. I won't go near the man when he's mad. Shinra had the brains to realize that Tseng was the very wrong person you wanted to fuck with."
"My entire life I was raised as an assassin, honed since birth to kill all silently. I had no loyalties except to whoever was the highest bidder but I was well known for even turning on my current boss if they pissed me off. Shinra was the highest bidder which is why I left Wutai, he knew my reputation even though I was only seventeen years old, and wasn't stupid enough to cross me." He smiled darkly into his glass taking another sip of the sweet burgundy liquid.
"Boss man's the master of stealth, he doesn't want to be seen yo, he won't." the others nodded; many of them had been on the receiving end a Tseng sneak attack. He had even managed to sneak up on Sephiroth and that man was all but impossible to sneak up on.
"So what happened with all the Turks gone, you said that they were the auras' of Shinra." They had put the rankings so that Lucius and Narcissa would understand it. "Heidegger, because all the Turks were gone..including 75 year old Phil the gate guard he was forced to pull from SOLDIER as we were the only ones with high enough clearance to work Turk files." Zack groaned remembering it all too well, it was a nightmare..
"It was a disaster yo." Reno shook his head flipping his long rat tail back over his shoulder. "After two weeks yo President fat ass was begging us to come back. When we did SOLDIER boys here completely destroyed the office, it took us weeks to get organized again."
"It was truly a horrible sight to return home too, Sephiroth though was smart enough to stay well out of my sight for the next few weeks." Tseng sent a dark glare over to the silverlett. His office which is where Sephiroth had taken refuge was one of the worst and it had taken him two weeks of constant sorting to fix the damage Sephiroth had done to his office.
"I said I was sorry." A pout caused Sephiroth's lower lip to jut out, his eyes widening trying to give Tseng his best kicked puppy look. "Seph you can't pull it off don't try." Zack laughed, he had bought the corner on the kicked puppy look.
"Bite me Fair.. don't you come near me!" the group dissolved into laughter as Zack leapt across the couch the three SOLDIER were sitting on causing Sephiroth to leap off the edge and over to the Turk occupied couch. Jumping up onto the couch Sephiroth hid behind Tseng using him for protection.
"You're a Turk.. protect me!" laughing Tseng set his glass down and faster than a striking viper whirled around and started to actually tickle the General. Screaming Sephiroth quickly bolted across the room breathing hard and literally climbed the walls so he was clinging to the rafters above them. "That was evil Tseng!" they had discovered early on that Sephiroth and Genesis were both extremely ticklish; Sephiroth though had the ability to turn his off, but if you caught him by surprise you could get a few minutes out of the man before he managed to turn it off.
"Aww Seph, is the big bad Turk picking on you?" Genesis had moved over to his lover seeing he had officially been treed once more by the Wutai Turk. "YES!" even though they were all considered fully grown men they still had the affinity for acting like children when the mood struck them. And even though they weren't drunk the lot was buzzed from the alcohol.
"See what I had to deal with." Rufus said dryly though he was smiling brightly at his parents. "This lot here decided it would be a good idea to start a prank war between the two branches."
Reno started to die at that remembering it all too well. "A prank war?" Lucius asked, now he was curious. When he thought of military officials and high executives he was expecting what he saw at the Ministry every day, not a bunch of teenage boys like this lot was.
"Seph you were what, 16-17?" Reno asked looking up to where Sephiroth was climbing down from his perch. "17, by about three months." Moving back over to the SOLDIER couch as it had been dubbed he stuck his tongue out at Tseng and picked up his wine once more. " I was bored one day and I walked into the executive lounge. Tseng was passed out on one of the bench seats back in the Turks section of the lounge."
"I had just returned from a very long mission and had gone in to get some coffee and ended up falling asleep instead." Tseng would never make that mistake again. "He was out! I was able to move him and he didn't move, normally you breathe wrong and he's awake. So I took full advantage of that.. I grabbed a red marker from Reeve and colored that dot on his forehead red."
Tseng groaned and slumped down on the couch remembering that horrible day. "He did it just right so that it looked like a laser from a sniper and so my Turks all day kept tackling me thinking someone was about to shoot me in the head. Rude finally told me why he tackled me and I knew who had done it." He glared over at the snickering General, "I got him back though." He grinned wickedly as Sephiroth sent him a glare this time.
"He fucked with my shampoo!" that came out as a low growl as he glared daggers at the Turk. Genesis laughing his head off reached behind Sephiroth and brought forth the moon spun silk hair. "His hair was down to his knees.. now image knee length beautiful silver hair, bright neon electric blue..for three weeks."
Lucius actually nearly spit his drink out when he heard that; these were such childish pranks that he would think the Weasley would do but yet here high ranking military officials were doing it as well. "That started the war.. in retaliation when all the Turks went home we switched out all their coffee for decaf, Turks live off coffee."
"Understatement yo.. That was a horrible week." Reno curled up against Tseng shivering remembering that hell week of caffeine withdrawal. "No one realized the coffee had been switch out because it tasted the same yo… it wasn't till three days in and nearly every wall had bullet holes in it that we realized what was happening."
Never take away caffeine when someone carries a gun around every day, they tended to start enforcing Turk rule # 1.. if it pisses you off shoot it. The Turk office was littered with bullet holes, fire materia scorch marks, holes where fist had been shoved through and cracks in the floor from body slams.
"We paid them back in kind didn't we Reno." Tseng's smile turned positively evil as he looked at the three SOLDIER, "we replaced their coffee with the strongest espresso on the planet..."
"That was HELL on earth, image this." Genesis pointed to the hyper active puppy. "only one hundred times worse.. SOLDIER couldn't do any mission because everyone was so damned hyped up even the officers.. Sephiroth was crawling the walls he was so hyper that day."
"And by the end of the day when we stole back all their coffee supply we were finding SOLDIER passed out all over the Shinra building..gave us some pretty interesting blackmail photographs."
Rufus was shaking his head at that, "father finally put a stop to it when the Turks flooded part of the SOLDIER floor and turned the other half into a ice skating rink and SOLDIER blew up the Turk office.."
Lucius looked over to his wife both of them wearing very amused expression; it was amazing how child like these boys were.
Hearing a bell chime deep in the manor the boys instinctively grabbed watches and phones and looked down at the time. "Oh fuck.." it was nearly midnight..they were so fucking dead.
"Thanks Mr. Malfoy for everything.. but we gotta run..Zack you and Reno gonna make it back alright?" Sephiroth was already standing grabbing his sweatshirt and pulling it on. "I don't think I want to go home yo.. mom is gonna kill me."
"Who are your parents we can floo them and inform them where you have been." Narcissa was standing watching the boys franticly trying to get their gear together. She only knew who Sephiroth and Draco were in this life, the others hadn't revealed themselves..well other than Genesis who was who he said he was.
" Uh.. Trust me yo.. mom isn't going to listen."
"You're looking at the Weasley twins." Sephiroth said pointing to Zack and Fred, "they got three reincarnates in the family. Blaise Zabini over there." He said point over to Tseng who was the only one not really rushing, Cloud knew where he was and knew Tseng tended to stay out for a long period of time.
"Blaise.." Lucius turned to look at the young boy shocked to see the boy that had once been black now Asian. "Your mother has been looking for you." Tseng shrugged pulling his jacket on, "I've been with my husband in America and will be there the rest of break, if you see her let her know that." He personally didn't want to deal with her.
"Thanks again yo, Rufus we'll see ya later yo!" and with Several cracks and simple disappearing the room cleared out of all including Tseng.
Reaching the house of Black the group silently snuck in the door, since you couldn't go through the wards they had to appear down the street and sneak into the house.
"Looks like it's all clear." Moving into the house the group had barely made it to the stairs when they heard footsteps from the kitchen.
'oh shit…'
"WHERE HAVE YOU BEEN!"
AN: uh oh.. busted!
A little more indepth to the Turk SOLDIER prank war and little more stories of Shinra past. All in all a mild chapter of just kicking back and hearing stories.. Though how is Rufus going to tell his parents he's gay.. I don't think they will be quite as accepting as they were of him being a reincarnate.
So review people! We're doing really good we've almost broken 550! Lets see how high we can make this puppy go!
Also this is a mass advertisement for a Crisis Core RP group, we're looking for more members to take up the massive list of characters we need.
