Disclaimer: I don't own FFVII or Kadaj would have lived
Kadaj woke up on an uncomfortable mattress. He sat up looking around in his surrounding was a cell, something he was use to as a child apart from this holding cell wasn't pristine white and had character. It was grey with barred door as like it would stop someone from leaving, not Kadaj, that is he wanted to. He just wanted to know where he was at. He sat there surveying his surrounding. The last thing he remembered was in that white room with… Ms. Aerith. Well that sounded weird , Kadaj thought to himself because he had never addressed someone with respect like that except Mother.
Was it all a dream? It was so real, I felt it.
No. It was really for what she said she is there but not like Aniki inside my soul.
She held me and told me I supposed to do something but how will I want to do. Will she ask the same as old mother? No she said that she would act like a real mother instead.
It was true as Yazoo and Loz aren't here with me and I don't feel them though our link. Then they must be died as mother showed my in my dream. I can still smell it. The smell of flowers.
Kadaj snaps back when he hears someone approaching his cell. He sat up on the cot, with his feet over the side as he faced the barred wall waiting for his new, probably first, visitor. A young woman in a tan uniform walked up to the bars not looking up really until she noticed that she was being observed. The woman looked up at the silver-headed teen sitting on the cot in the intense holding cell like he was a child watch a circus or caged a animal though the bars.
"You… you're awake?" the woman asked stepping back.
"Yes. Where am I actually, m'am?" Kadaj voice came out a bit scratchy at first from lack of uses it, but it soon returned to in the smooth, effortless tone it usually had.
The women, caught off guard by his politeness, stuttered "Uh, you are in a holding cell aboard the airship, Shera pilot by Cid Highwind. I'm Nara and I will be seeing to you on your stay upon the airship." Nara nodded her head toward him in the affirmative with herself out of pride. Kadaj was surprised but not so much as he would be rescued by someone but not by the people he had been fight for mo… Jenova. Cloud must have got him back to the ship after he became lost to this world. Kadaj mind began to zoom about what he was going to do here now and get of the airship without doing anything 'evil' or something that would be disapproved by them upon the ship.
Kadaj sat there think stare at the bar not really paying much attention to Nara to her surprise, but not that she wanted either. She just stood there paralyzed by his stare until she could take at anymore. "I'm going to go sir, tell me if there is anything you may need."
"Nara, could you tell them that I am awake?" The teen said to the woman in a soft tone but forced tone.
Nara agreed and left the brig of the airship leave Kadaj again to his own thoughts. He wasn't a social person he preferred to be just with his brothers and sisters but none were here now. Kadaj wasn't a mean person by any means but he didn't truly think about the people he hurt all that much since this just clogged his brain with thing that hindered him form search for Jenova and find people that we help them on his way. Now that he had accomplished his life goal he didn't know how to proceed. His whole life and existence was based on get what he thought Jenova wanted as he heard her inside of him along with the man who he was to duplicate.
Kadaj stayed there for hours before anyone came to see him again. He was never one to worry over trivial things such as where he was go to live after his job was done or what he was to do outside of being a soldier to Shinra and avoiding being punished for all things that human had ruined. Now he felt he could just fall off the earth and was overly depressed. He sat and contrived a way he could be something else other than what he was told to be.
He was trained to kill so what should he do now that he had no target or enemy? He could always be a hit man and kill for a living. Kadaj smiled to himself for thinking of something so ingenious, but soon disappeared when a tremor went though his body leading straight to his head. The ache it caused was severe as the ones he used to get when his thoughts strayed from his instructions.
Kadaj figured that he could find his talent else where being that he was to be the perfect being as well. The he got up off his new bed and walked around his new cage. There were several jobs that required no skill what so ever he was sure.
Now some man came to talk to Kadaj but without Nara this time. He looked like a doctor expect his face wasn't as mean or distant like the other that had come to see him the past.
"You're Kadaj, correct?" he said. "You were one of the trio clones that tried to being the destruction back."
"That is me, but since you know me, may I ask who you are?" Kadaj examined the doctor. His blue-green eyes scan him though his silver bangs.
The man said with a smirk, "I'm Dr. Lucas, but I here to see what should be done about you now that awakened and many aren't sure if you are still a threat to be dealt with. Don't worry; I am not interested in human experiments. So if you would prefer to tell how you have been changed or not it's fine with me."
The man didn't seem untrustworthy to him but he could trust him completely as something inside his head. "Fine. What are you here for exactly to see if I'm crazed or in need of guidance from the evil side of the lifestream?" Kadaj said firmly looking at the man.
"More so or less, yes."
"As I thought."
The doctor then took his keys from his pocket and unlocked the cell. Dr. Lucas walked in leaving the door right open and began examining Kadaj. Kadaj laid on the cot and looked at the door, confusion dominating his countenance. "That is careless of you, doctor to leave the cell door open like that. I could just leave right now. Why leave me the option?"
"I'm not as weak as I may look people tell me and I doubt that you would do that. It would only make more of a threat and you want out so you would be good and show how much you have changed to persuade the captain and WRO members to let you go."
"You are not of the World Regenesis Organization?" (A/N: is it?)
"No, I here to make sure everything rules smoothly and work closely with WRO. Please stay still as I go over you with this scanner." Dr. Lucas pulled out a scanner, much like a radio and waved it down the teen's body. "You seem to be alright but you need to eat more or you become terribly malnourished and have to stay hospitalized in a facility" He looked somewhat concerned about it but soon got over it and gained a calm demeanor.
Kadaj sat up swing around, one leg underneath him other hanging off the edge, "Anything else? I don't usually eat much it a hassle to get the food on the way. I have never eaten more that necessary."
"Well you need to because you have a high metabolism and the food you have been eating isn't enough. What and when was the last time you ate before being abroad this ship exactly?"
Kadaj ruminated on minute moment guessing at about five days before a sandwich with loads of water as it there. Lucas was not very congratulating about Kadaj's eating habits so he advice the silver-blonde teen to eat more because he was still a teenager in adolescence by age standards. The doctor left as Nara came back inside. He stopped her, telling her that the inmate would need more food than he was getting now. Nara nodded and Dr. Lucas went on with whatever he was supposed to do on the ship.
Nara walked over to the cell and saw that it was still unlocked, rolled her eyes at the carelessness of the young doctor. "You really don't need to lock it now. I'm not trying anything." He said looking straight at her.
"We try to be careful about these things here and is standard that a criminal be locked up even if he is benign. How would it look if you were walking around saying hello to everyone in the fleet like you didn't try to bring destruction and kidnap children for whatever reason." Nara rolled her eyes with a sassy attitude showing her true age. Kadaj sat there gawking again to get her attention, "It was a statement no need for a long-winded explanation and scenario; right?"
The girl blushed and tried to defend herself, but abruptly change the subject to food and what he would like.
"Are you suppose to ask what people especially prisoner what they what? You should be more aggressive since you over me in status act like." Kadaj snapped at her then looked confused with himself. Nara backed away from the cell, but then gathered her nerves together and step forward.
"I'm trying to make you comfortable and it is my choice not your for how I act, now since you acted like this you have two choice now; tuna or salmon fish."
"What the difference? They are both fish from the sea." Kadaj responded.
"There are many differences, as in taste, texture, and cooking style. I'll bring a small thing of both to prove the contrast." Nara marched out proudly with determination.
Moments later she had returned with a tray baring plates of fish. She bought to the cell door and put the tray through the food slot. Kadaj got up off the bed and stepped to the cell wall and picked up the food. "Try the one on the right. That is tuna." Nara said with fortitude. Kadaj raised his eyebrow at her with distain. He picked a fork, that happened to be plastic, and scooped some up and delivered it to his mouth. He chewed it for a minute or two. Kadaj had to admit it did taste good but it wasn't like the last time he tasted fish and a hint of lemon.
"Now try the salmon. Oh, they were both cooked with lemon and pepper." Nara relaxed stance with shifting her weight from left to right. The younger then eat the next sample. They had different tastes and salmon won out but tuna left an after-taste.
"They are quite different and unique, aren't they" Kadaj was thinking to himself more so, but Nara decided to answer. "Yes, they come from different place and start of different from each other. The tuna is born in the sea and stay there until they die while salmon is born in a river of fresh water and matures enough to go to the sea but eventually come back to the river to lay eggs again. They may be fish but they are very different because of where they live and behavior, like humans."
"You talk too much Nara." Kadaj stated with a smirk. "You're right now can you please leave me to think alone?" The silver-haired beauty peered though his bangs in a most hypnotizing way that persuaded Nara to stop talking and nod in assent. She left and immediately came back to tell him goodnight.
Kadaj went to his cot near the metal wall and laid down on top of the sheets. He at first tired to fall asleep thinking of the past and before he knew it he was realized he had probably made to more friends that were extremely different form himself. He began to think about the future again but this time he was as alone as he thought.
