"Worlds damned, fucked up in the head basket case." Riku cursed as he stalked back home. Sora had to jog to catch up.

"Maybe it won't be that bad."

"Oh it will be worse than bad." Riku ground out. "Sephiroth absolutely despises our father. He doesn't even acknowledge him as such. He calls him the genetic donor when he has to talk about him."

"Who is your dad, any way?" No one had ever clearly explained Riku and Sephiroth's origins to him.

Riku snarled. "That bastard Hojo but we'll never actually call him that."

"Wait. That professor guy who made you?" Sora gaped. "He really is your father?"

"Yeah. The sick fuck used his own DNA which makes him our biological father." Riku glowered. "Hurry up, will you."

Sora picked up his pace. "What do you think Seph's gonna do?"

"No idea. Hopefully, he won't find out." They rounded the corner and Riku froze. "So much for that hope."

Sora looked at him confused. Riku's expression darkened with worry. "They're already here."

Riku sprinted down the street. Sora took off after him. The older of the pair burst through the front door and darted into the study. It took Sora another minute to get there.

Sephiroth sat calmly on the lounger, a book lying open over his crossed legs. His expression was devoid of emotion. It sent an uneasy chill down Sora's spine. He couldn't tell at what point of the conversation they had walked in on.

Kadaj was smirking at his creator, Loz and Yazoo flanking him. "So tell me, Brother, are you that disappointed in us that you couldn't tell us the truth?"

"The truth is, you do not have a father. Yes I created you but not of my blood or DNA. Therefore, I am merely your creator not your father."

"That isn't want Cloud said." Loz pouted.

"Strife despises us and therefore will say anything to cause discord among us. Do not believe what he has told you." Sephiroth scowled. "I believe the truce is officially over."

"So you aren't our father?" Yazoo softly asked.

"Has Mother ever indicated to you that I was?"

The three glanced at one another.

"It's insulting that you believed the traitor over Mother." Sephiroth tsked.

Kadaj narrowed his eyes. "So was he lying about Grandfather, too?"

Septhiroth's eyes hardened. "What?"

Riku silently motioned Sora to step to the opposite side of the door. Outside of the room. He remained inside but he had slipped closer to the door frame.

"He said that you and Riku's father had died and that's why you didn't talk about Father's Day." Kadaj explained. "It made you sad like how we miss Mother.

Loz took out a piece of paper. "We made you this from the picture he gave us."

"He looks just like you and Riku." Yazoo commented, glancing at Riku.

Loz nodded agreement showing Riku the now mounted picture. Riku had never seen a photograph of Professor Hojo and he was stunned how much he and Seph really did look like the creep. The facial structure was the same as were the eyes and he wore his bangs like Sephiroth often did.

The only differences were Hojo had greasy looking black hair and dark eyes that peered annoyingly from small glasses. His nose was hooked a bit, unlike them. He had a scowl on his face which looked permanent.

Kadaj snatched the snapshot from Loz and thrust it in Sephiroth's face. "Didn't know you were from Wuati."

Sephiroth stared coldly at the image before him.

Riku bit his lip watched his brother's face extremely carefully. Those calculating spring green eyes were slowly becoming slitted. He felt the rising anger like a tangible thing. The corner of Sephiroth's lip turned up.

"Sora, RUN!"

Hehe. This is a bit awkward but the payoff should be worth it.

Tell me your thoughts as to Cloud's punishment cuz you know Seph won't let this slide.
