This one feels more like a filler bit to me but it but it makes me smile so it's okay. Next will be funner. (That's not a word, is it?) Whatever. Did I disclaim this one? Don't own.

Please enjoy.

The triplets were not very well liked in the neighborhood. In fact most parents had their children promise to leave the area if they came out. They didn't understand this at all. They only wanted to play but apparently their idea of playing was different.

Not that it really mattered.

However it did make it difficult to ask anyone questions. After several failed attempts, Loz was crying that they'd never know the answer to their question. Yazoo rolled his eyes but patiently told him to stop crying, they would find out.

Kadaj caught up with them. "Any one talking?"

"No." Yazoo shook his head.

"I have an idea." Kadaj looked mighty pleased with himself. "He'll tell us."

He marched ahead and the other two followed. The little group walked several blocks, ignoring the looks they got. They still didn't understand why Sephiroth had suddenly had a change of heart about the humans. The things were all weak and pathetic.

They got to their desired destination and walked up the steps. Kadaj rapped loudly on the door, his brothers flanking him. They waited for two full minutes before pounding one more time. Another two minutes passed.

Kadaj sighed. "Looks like Brother is ignoring us again."

"But we fixed everything." Loz sniffled. "We were even nice to that friend of his."

If by nice he meant not trying to kill him.

"Stupid brother." Kadaj kicked in the door. He shouted out with a giggle. "Oh, Brother. Where are you?"

They were met with silence.

"Perhaps he really isn't here." Yazoo wandered through the main room.

"Then we'll wait for him to come back." Kadaj settled himself on the sofa. The other two decided to explore.

They had already seen the entire downstairs so they went up. A few pictures hung on the wall going up and they paused to study each one.

"I remember him." Loz pointed to a red head and another red head. "Who's that with him?

"Don't know. Looks like his brother." Yazoo tilted his head. "Maybe they're twins."

"Like us?"

"I doubt like us."

"Humm. There's that girl I beat up. She was kinda pretty, for a human." Loz quickly moved on. There were a few more faces they kind of recognized then it switched to new ones. The backgrounds looked foreign also. "Who are these people?"

"They're most likely that Squall's friends." Yazoo studied one in particular. "This one looks like an older version of him, doesn't it?"

"Yeah." Loz pointed. "Look, one of those cowboy guys."

"Is that a guy? He's kind of pretty looking." Yazoo commented. Loz glanced at him. He wasn't the brightest guy but even he saw the irony of Yazoo calling another guy pretty.

"What are you two doing?" Kadaj asked at the foot of the steps irritably.

"Looking at pictures."

"Why?" Kadaj joined them. "More silly humans."

"She's really pretty." Loz stared at a black haired young woman with a few streaks of caramel in it. Her dark eyes laughed and the smile looked totally natural on her.

Kadaj spared a quick glance then snorted. "They're all the same."

He suddenly tilted his head as if listening to something. A huge grin came to his face. "They're here."

The other two nodded and went the rest of the way up. Kadaj waited on the stairs. Voices grew louder to his sensitive ears. He knew exactly when they noticed the door.

He heard Cloud's string of curses.

It was only a moment's wait for the blonde to storm in. "Kadaj! Here, now!"

"Hello, Brother." Kadaj smirked.

"What the hell are you doing here? No wait. Where are the other two?"

"Entertaining your friend." Kadaj laughed, sitting on his step.

"They aren't very good at it." A tall brunette said dryly from the doorway. "Both of you, in."

The pair obediently followed him.

Kadaj glared. "You need to die, Squall."

"Someday. And it's Leon."

"Alright." Cloud took a breath. "What the hell are you after this time?"

"We have a question." Kadaj stood again.

"So you had to break down the door?" Leon raised an eye.

"Why didn't you ask Sephiroth?" Cloud asked.

"Big Brother doesn't want us to know the answer." Yazoo explained.

Cloud glanced at Leon. "So what's the question?"

"What's a father?"

The two stared for a moment. "You're serious?"

"Yeah," Kadaj brushed past Cloud. "And Riku won't tell us either."

Leon fought not to laugh at the stupid question. Everyone knew that a father was. He'd been an orphan and he knew the answer to that one.

Then he caught the look on Cloud's face. The malice in those blue eyes chilled him and for the first time, Leon understood why the remnants called him brother.
