Summery: Kya is the daughter of two ShinRa SOLDIERs: Sephiroth and Genesis. After being away from home for seventeen years raising his daughter out of the public's eye, Sephiroth returns, bringing the seventeen-year-old girl with him. When Kya falls in love with eighteen-year-old Zack Fair, she feels her life couldn't be better. But when being with the man she loves puts all of them in danger, Kya must make a choice: stay on base with her parents, friends, and lover, and see them all die, or leave, work with the enemy, and keep them alive until she dies. Will Kya go against everything she was ever taught and save those she loves, or will she remember her father's teachings and watch everyone she loves die?
Chapter Two
Kya shifted a little restlessly in her chair as she waited for the opening cerimonies to finish. Introductions had been made, and the group had shifted to a large ballroom with tables lining the walls for the opening speech. The girl had already changed shoes, quickly, quietly, and slyly, and was eager for the speech to finish in order for dinner to get started. She was seated between Genesis and a young man with blond hair and his back to Kya at the president's table. Across from her was Sephiroth and Angeal, with Zack on his father's other side. She was startled momentarily when clapping echoed in the large room, but quickly joined in. A snicker made her turn to glare at Zack, who smiled teasingly.
"It's about time. Oversized asshole." Kya started and looked at the blond to her left, pausing a moment to take in what she was seeing. Long, elegant fingers tagged impatiently on the table as bored, ice blue eyes focused on the flower arrangement in the center of the table.
"That he is, Rufus. That he is." Wide blue-grey eyes looked at Sephiroth, noting his smile. The smile grew when he met his daughter's eyes. "Just because I work for the man doesn't mean I have to like him." The girl hid a snicker behind her hand as a round man in an ugly purple-red suit waddled over and sat in the only empty chair at the table.
"Sephiroth! It's good to have you back. And this must be Kya. Very nice to meet you, young lady." Kya offered a tense smile, not liking the way the man's eyes roamed her body. "This is my son, Rufus. I'm guessing he didn't introduce himself?" The blond rolled his eyes and turned towards the girl, his back to his father.
"It is a pleasure to meet you, Miss Kya," he said warmly, offering his hand. Kya placed her hand in his, and blushed when he raised it to his lips to press a kiss there.
"I-it's a pleasure to meet you, Mister Rufus. Just Kya, please." Rufus Shinra smiled and kissed her hand again before letting her have it back.
"Just Rufus, Kya." Still blushing she nodded and turned to fiddle with her napkin.
Rufus let out a silent sigh of relief when Kya turned back to her place setting. Those few moments speaking with her already had his heart racing, and he was afraid if he kept talking to her, his breath would leave him completely. He watched her out of the corner of his eye, only looking away when someone cleared his throat. He met Sephiroth's eyes and smiled. He caught a slight nod, and smiled even more. Using Turk hand code, he told the General that his daughter was beautiful, and asked if he could have permission to date her if she would accept his offer. Another nod, and another smile. Just as the blond was turning away from the silver-haired man, a glare caught his eye and he turned back towards Zack. A smirk crossed his face, and the look he gave the SOLDIER was a challenge for the unsuspecting girl.
After dinner, while the men at her table were talking about the seventeen years that had passed, Kya watched the couples spinning and dancing on the ballroom floor.
"You look like you want to join them." The girl jumped a little and turned to look at Rufus. The blond was standing, watching her. She blushed and looked out at the people again before looking up at him, finding his hand extended out to her. "May I have this dance?" Kya smiled and took his hand, allowing him to lead her to the floor. "I was wondering what you were doing tomorrow."
"I was planning on going out shopping." Rufus smiled.
"Would you mind if I went? I'm free all day, and would like to get out of this place for a little while. Plus, I would love to get to know you better." The girl blushed as they started dancing.
"Sounds good. It'd be nice to have another friend here." Rufus smiled and pulled the girl a little closer, already plotting.
"Our parents are watching." Kya glanced over her partner's shoulder on the next turn and caught a glimpse of her parent's eyes. She grinned.
"What do you want to bet they're going to start playing matchmaker?" Rufus laughed.
"Most likely they are. Maybe we should beat them to the punch?" The girl looked up, finding no hint of teasing in the blond's eyes.
"I don't know…..But we can tease them." She smirked. "Are there any gardens here?" Rufus amended his plan slightly and smiled, leading her off the dance floor and through the glass doors across from their table. Kya glanced over their shoulders and found Genesis leaning closer to Sephiroth, eyes on their daughter. She looked away, smirking, and let Rufus stop her just outside the doors beside the fountain and rosebushes. Before she could say anything, a brilliant blood red rose was in front of her, between her and Rufus.
"My lady." Blushing, Kya took the flower and lifted it to her face, taking in the deep scent. She looked up at Rufus and smiled again. "Would it be too much to want to kiss you?" The girl bit her lip slightly before taking a step away. The blond chuckled softly before holding up his hands. "Don't worry. I won't push." The sound of a throat clearing drew their attention to the doorway, where a black haired man stood.
"You might want to be a little more careful, Rufus. Sephiroth is very protective of his daughter, as we found out earlier." Kya blushed and hid her face in her hands as she was reminded of the incident that had happened just before the dinner.
"Hello there, cutie." Kya looked up from where she was standing against the wall waiting for her parents and guards to the man standing not too far from her. She looked away, and yelped when she was jerked around to face the man. "No, now, girlie. Don't you dare turn from me again." The girl pulled a little on her arm, fear growing in her chest when she found she couldn't break the grip.
"Let me go." The man grinned and leaned closer.
"Nah. Don't think I will. You're a pretty little thing. Make for some fun." Kya considered screaming when she felt a hand on her hip, slowly inching her skirt up. Hot fury burned through her veins, and a well-placed hit to the man's wrist made him jerk away. "Why you little-"
"What is going on here?" Kya shifted a little so she was closer to Genesis and let the red-haired SOLDIER wrap an arm around her shoulders. Sephiroth moved to stand between his daughter and her asailent.
"General Sephiroth. Welcome back."
"I asked you a question." The man's eyes shifted to the girl, and a shiver raced up her spine.
"I take it this is the girl? She's grown up quite well. And very beautiful." Genesis shifted so he stood in front of his daughter and Kya felt Zack shift to stand at her left, Angeal at her right.
"Leave her alone, Hojo." Black eyes turned to Sephiroth.
"Why should I? I helped create her. I should have every right to be allowed to examine her." Zack shifted a little closer to Kya.
"Hojo. Leave the girl." Kya didn't turn with the others to see the speaker, instead keeping an eye on the man who had touched her. "Sephiroth, you have full permission to deal with Hojo if he tries anything." Kya caught a glimpse of blond passing Hojo as the man's eyes narrowed at her. A hand on her shoulder steered the girl around the man as the group passed. Just before they reached the stairs, a low voice muttered something.
"She came out with a beautiful ass." Sephiroth gritted his teeth and whirled around, stalking towards Hojo and grabbing him by the collar of his shirt. Kya watched with the others as the silver-haired man dragged the scientist down the hall to the floor-to-ceiling glass window, and threw him through it. Genesis smirked as his lover walked back down the hall to them, a smug look on his face.
"I've always wanted to do that." The two teens burst out laughing, and Angeal just shook his head. "Let's go. They're waiting for us." The group waited long enough for Kya and Zack to control their laughter before heading down the stairs. For the hour or two after that, the two had to avoid eye contact, or else start laughing again.
Kya snorted softly, earning two sets of eyes turning towards her.
"My apologies, but I can take care of myself, Mister….." She paused, realizing she didn't know the man's mane.
"Tseng. Of the Turks."
"Mister Tseng. Daddy won't do anything as long as Rufus doesn't force me into anything." Tseng raised an eyebrow at the girl and looked at Rufus.
"You chose an interesting one, Rufus. Just be careful." As the Turk moved away, Rufus sighed and leaned his forehead against Kya's shoulder. The girl smiled softly and ran her fingers through the surprisingly soft blond strands.
"Stupid bodyguard." The girl laughed and Rufus pulled away smiling. A long-fingered hand tangled with an artist's hand and the blond led the silverette to a nearby bench. When Rufus laid his arm across her shoulders, Kya shifted slightly away from him. The two stayed like that until the soft sound of footsteps alerted them of someone's approach. The two looked up, and Kya sent a look that screamed "help me" when they found Genesis and Sephiroth heading towards them. The SOLDIER members were stone-faced and Genesis glared at Rufus until he removed his arm from the girl. Sephiroth stepped a little closer.
"If you'll excuse us, Vice-president Shinra, there are people waiting to meet Kya inside." Without a word, Kya hopped to her feet and followed Genesis through the door, automatically accepting the arm Zack offered her when they entered. "She rejected your offer, Rufus. Don't push her. You may not like what will happen." Rufus snorted softly.
"You won't do a thing." Sephiroth turned to the blond, eyes steely cold.
"It's not me you'll have to worry about. Kya may seem sweet and innocent, but remember this-" He leaned closer to meet the teen's eyes. "-She is Genesis and my daughter. She takes after us." With that, he left the blond on the bench, pondering his words.
Later that night, as Kya was in the shower, rinsing the make-up off her skin, and washing the curls from her hair, she replayed the night in her mind. After her parents had "rescued" her, Kya took up Zack's offer to continue dancing the night away. By the end of the night, Kya was having trouble staying on her feet, unable to hold the amount of champagne she had drank. Zack told Angeal and Reno that he was taking her back to the SOLDIERs' apartment, and carried her out of the ballroom. Once he got her into the apartment, Zack laid the girl on the couch, getting her a glass of water and helping her sober up a bit. Kya spent about twenty minutes apologizing and saying she never drank before warm lips shut her up. Zack stayed there with her, with her head in his lap as she channel surfed, until her parents got there. Kya sat through a talk with her parents about limiting her alcohol intake before heading to her room to slip out of her dress and wash up for bed.
Kya sighed softly as she turned the water off and slipped out of the shower. She toweled off and slipped into the pajama pants and tank-top she had brought with her into the bathroom before tossing a towel over her shoulders to keep her shirt from getting wet and left the room. She had just finished towel-drying her hair and was starting to put it in her usual night braid when a knock on her door made her jump. After gaining the girl's permission, Sephiroth slipped into the room, smiling when he saw her in the middle of her pre-bed ritual.
"Hey, Daddy."
"Hello, Kya. You feeling better?" Kya blushed darkly when she realized what her father was referring to.
"Yeah. Zack took care of me." The silver-haired man chuckled at his daughter. "What?"
"He seems smitten with you, Kya." The girl's blush darkened, remembering the kiss that had shut her up earlier that night. "Aside from Zack. How are you handling all of this?" Kya smiled as she finished her braid and tied it with a rubber band.
"I'm doing fine, Daddy. Zack, Reno, and Cissnei are so much fun. Angeal is pretty cool." Sephiroth tilted his head when his daughter paused. "Papa is just as you described him, Daddy. He's fun, and sweet, and really cool. And apparently a screamer." The girl squealed and moved backwards to dodge the pillow her father swung at her, backing towards the doorway.
"Kya Marie. You did not just say that."
"Oh shit." Kya turned and dashed out of her room, laughing as her father followed her. She raced into the living room, startling the three already there as she dove over the couches and coffee table to stand on the other side of the room. Sephiroth stopped just behind the first couch, eyebrow raised.
"Surely, Kya, you do not expect these three to save you." The girl grinned.
"Nope! I expect them to delay you." Genesis moved his hand just in time to avoid it getting stepped on by his lover as the silver-haired general got a running start and leapt over the couches and table. Kya giggled and ducked, moving quickly to stand on the other side of the coffee table in front of Genesis. Angeal raised an eyebrow at his friend and the girl.
"What's going on here?" Kya laughed and fell back to sit in her other father's lap.
"I said something Daddy didn't like."
"And she's going to pay for it." Without warning, Sephiroth pounced. Kya, recognizing the physical signs from the past seventeen years, jumped out of the way to avoid getting pinned between her parents. Genesis, however, was not so lucky. He ended up with a lap full of silver-haired man. Kya laughed from her lying down position on the floor at the look on the red-haired man's face. Angeal chuckled as the girl scrambled to her feet.
"Night, Papa." She quickly pressed a kiss to Genesis' cheek, moving faster than Sephiroth, who had tried to grab her and pull her down. "Night, Angeal. Night, Zack. See you in the morning." With that, she darted off to her room.
"What happens if you catch her?" Angeal asked when he heard the door click shut. Sephiroth chuckled and moved to sit beside his lover.
"Kya is very ticklish in the ribs." Genesis laughed and curled against this lover. Angeal chuckled and looked at his son, who was curled on the loveseat snickering.
"You should not have told Zack that, Seph." Zack nodded enthusiastically.
"He's going to torment her for the rest of his life." The teen grinned.
"Watch it, puppy. The three of us could just as easily let some things about you slip to the girl." The teen paled before making an excuse to leave the room. As he passed opened his door, Kya poked her head out of her own room with a grin.
"Night, Puppy." Zack groaned as he entered his own room.
"I am so fucked."
