Disclaimer: I do not own anything in this story besides Kya and some other various random characters I plan on tossing in here. I am not making any money off this story. I only own the concept.
Warnings: This is slightly AU…..I think. Will be citrus stuffs later on. Yaoi. Het. You know….the usual.
Motive: Written for the KMCJ contest running between me and some friends. The rules:
1) Must have an original character with part of your name.
2) OC must be the child of two characters in the original game/anime the story is a fic for.
3) OC must fall in love with a preexisting character.
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 Three
"Kya…." Blue-grey eyes scanned the landscape around her.
"Zack?"
"Kya…." She spun in a circle, not seeing anyone.
"Where are you?"
"Kya! Look out!" Inky black tendrels burst from the ground, wrapping around the girl's legs. A scream caused her to jerk her eyes from the black around her legs to a row of trees in front of her. A second scream caught in her throat at what she found. Her parents, Zack, Reno, Cissnei, and Angeal were each chained to the trees in front of her. Each form of her friends and family was unconsious, bruised, and sliced, except for Zack, who was looking at her with fearful eyes. "Kya!"
"Zack!"
"Don't move, little princess." Kya froze, eyes wide as she watched a black shadow slithered towards the SOLDIER. "Otherwise….." A shadow hand dove into Zack's chest, ripping a yell from the teen.
"ZACK!"
"Kya! Wake up!" Kya fell out of her bed, hitting the floor with a yelp. She blinked, shifting her eyes up to find The teen of her dream leaning over her, mako blue eyes wide. "Kya? Are you ok?" The girl reached up and pulled the teen down, wrapping her arms around him, shaking. Confused, the boy wrapped his arms around her and stood, lifting her with him. He sifted and sat on her bed, cradling her in his lap. After a few minutes, she calmed down, just resting there in his lap.
"Kya?" Blue-grey eyes peaked over Zack's shoulder and met her father's. "What happened?" Sephiroth came up behind his lover, watching his little girl in his friend's son's arms. She met his eyes and gave him a look.
"Nightmare. I'm fine. Just a little shaky." Sephiroth nodded in understanding.
"Gen, why don't you and Zack start on breakfast?" Genesis nodded and motioned for the raven haired teen to follow him. Zack pressed a kiss to the girl's forehead before following the red-head. Sephiroth watched the two before slipping into the room with the girl, who was sitting on the edge of the bed, elbows on her knees and head in her hands. "What happened?" Kya looked up.
"He's found me, Daddy." Aquamarine eyes widened as he fell onto the bed with her. "He's threatening everyone." Sephiroth placed a gentle hand on his daughter's head.
"He won't harm any of them. For now, just ignore the dreams." Kya looked up with alarmed eyes.
"But-"
"No buts. Just go out with Zack today, and we'll discuss this tonight." Kya nodded sadly and let her father stand. She watched him walk off, and sighed, flopping back on the bed. "You might want to get up and get ready to go." She shot up and jumped to her feet, running down the hall to peer into the living room.
"HOW DO YOU DO THAT?" Sephiroth just smiled as he settled on the couch with Genesis. Pouting, Kya moved over to hover behind her father's shoulder. "How. Do. You. Do. That?"
"Trade secret." Kya rolled her eyes and turned to head back to her room. "And if you think about those pants, Kya, you'll be staying in your room for the next two months." Kya poked her head out of her room to glare at her father. She ducked back in, ignoring the chuckles. Genesis looked at his lover, confusion in his eyes. "She has a pair of black leather pants that look like she's painted them on." A faint look of horror crossed the red-head's face. "My thought when she bought them."
"Why did you let her buy them?"
"Because they look hot on me." Genesis barely got a glimpse of black leather and red silk as his daughter came tearing out of her room, grabbed Zack, and hurled out of the apartment, barely giving Zack a moment to grab his coat. Angeal chuckled as he leaned against the kitchen doorway.
"The joys of parenting." When two sets of Mako enhanced eyes turned to him, he just grinned and held up his mug. "Coffee?"
Kya couldn't stop laughing as she stumbled out of the elevator with Zack, who was chuckling. Unlike what she led her parents to believe, the girl was actually wearing a pair of loose leather pants, paired with a red silk wraparound top and a pair of black knee-high boots with red ribbon lacings. Just when she got her laughter under control, Reno and Cissnei walked up, confused looks on their faces. One look at their friends sent Kya back into hysterics, and this time Zack was pulled into the laughter.
"Do we even want to know?" Cissnei asked as Kya finally calmed down. The silverette snickered as she adjusted the strap of her purse and straightened her top.
"It's like this, see? I have this pair of pants that Daddy says I painted on. He hates them. Reno, mind out of the gutter." The red-head protested loudly as the four climbed into the convertible. Kya and Cissnei jumped the sides and settled in the back while Zack slid smoothly into the driver's seat, and Reno took the front passenger's seat. "Shut up, Red. Anyways. I wore these leather pants, which are a little looser, and as we were leaving, Daddy and Papa just saw leather, so….." Reno smirked.
"They think you're wearing the sexy pants." The younger girl nodded as Cissnei burst out laughing. Reno snickered. Zack smiled before catching Kya's reflection in the rearview mirror. The girl's eyes were trained on his reflection, and a blush crossed her cheeks when she realized he had caught her staring. Cissnei caught the two's shared look before Zack turned his attention to the road and Kya looked down at her lap. The female Turk leaned forward until she could speak in Reno's ear without the other two hearing.
"I think we somehow need to first separate them, and then get them together without us." When she caught a confused look in Reno's eye in the mirror, she sighed. "They're obviously falling for each other, Re. We just need to confirm and get them to admit it to each other." A spark of understanding danced in the Turk's eye as his partner settled back in her seat. "OH! I almost forgot! I'm almost out of perfume. What do you say we ditch the boys and find some nice smelly stuff?" Kya laughed.
"I don't know. Seph and Gen might kill me for letting her out of my sight," Zack said, looking at Kya in the mirror. The girl rolled her eyes before leaning forwards a little.
"What they don't know can't hurt us." When he hesitated, she pressed on. "Let me put it this way. You come with us girls for the perfume, and I'm spritzing you with everything that says the words "for men" on it." Zack gulped slightly before looking at Reno.
"Sports shop?"
"Sports shop." Kya and Cissnei shared a grin as they settled back in the seat.
"So….what do you think of Zack?" Kya raised a silver eyebrow as she looked over at her friend.
"Why so interested, Ciss?" The auburn-haired girl snorted softly as she sprayed a mist of scent in the air and breathed it in.
"Because it's obvious the two of you are falling in love with each other." The silverette coughed slightly before blushing.
"How'd….."
"I know? The way you two act gives you two away. Plus, no one turns down Rufus Shinra if they're not in love with someone else." Kya's blush deepened and she turned away to survey the bottles on the counter. "Have you two talked it out yet?"
"Cissnei. Zack and I have only known each other a little longer than I've known you."
"But you're obviously taken with him." The younger girl groaned and buried her face in her hands.
"Ciss, I beg of you. Please. Give it a rest."
"Maybe when the two of you finally get together I will." The older girl settled a hand on her friend's shoulder. "Ky, Zack's been the odd wheel for so long. It'll be good for him to have someone who actually cares." Kya closed her eyes in thought for a moment before smiling softly and nodding.
"Ok. On one condition." When Cissnei tilted her head, Kya grinned and continued. "You get Reno away from me and Zack long enough for us to talk." Cissnei grinned and nodded.
"Was my plan all along." The girls shared a laugh before turning back to the bottles, continuing their hunt for the perfect scents.
"Cissnei says you and Kya are falling in love with each other." Zack looked at Reno out of the corner of his eye. "And I oddly agree with her."
"What?" As the Turk shushed his friend, he took in the flush across his cheeks, and the glittering in his eyes.
"Chill. I honestly agree with Cissnei. The way you and Kya act around each other practically screams it, yo." Zack blushed more and turned to look at the new shipment of basketballs. "Think about it, Z. At the ball last night, you two stayed close to each other and practically freaked out when you left each other's sight. She wouldn't dance with anyone but you, and you're the one who carried her home when she was drunk." The SOLDIER blushed more and shifted a little, thinking back to the kiss. Then his thoughts turned towards the incident that morning, recalling how she calmed by just being in his arms. "I can tell you're agreeing. Talk to Ky when Cissnei and I ditch the two of you later." With that said, the red-head wondered off towards the baseball stuff.
"Wutainese."
"Italian."
"Wutainese."
"Italian."
"Wutainese." Zack and Reno shared a look as they got closer to the girls and found them good-naturely arguing about lunch.
"Italian and a glass of wine." Reno and Kya snorted at the same time.
"Wutainese and a glass of ekas." Zack blinked at the younger girl and tried to see her drinking the hard Wutainese liquor. "And yes, I can drink it without getting drunk. For someone without injected Mako in their system, I have a very high alcohol tolerance." Cissnei snorted softly and opened her mouth to argue.
"How about this? Kya and I will go have Wutainese, and Reno and Cissnei can go have Italian." Without giving them much room to argue, the SOLDIER took the silver-haired girl's hand and led her away from the others. Behind them, Cissnei and Reno shared a grin.
"Well played, my devilish friend. Shall we celebrate, yo?" Cissnei laughed at Reno's words and accepted his arm.
"We shall." As they made their way to the restaurant, their manic giggling scared passersby.
"If you can handle ekas so well, what happened last night?" Kya sniffed lightly as she tossed back another shot of the liquor.
"I usually pay more attention to how much I drink, but last night…I don't know. I just lost track. Expecially with them constantly refilling my glass." Zack chuckled at the girl. "Shut up, Fair." The man's chuckles turned into soft laughter as the girl tossed back another shot. "Sooo…Cissnei and Reno ditched us on purpose." Zack nodded, drinking his own shot.
"Yep. You know why?"
"They have apparently deducted that you and I are falling in love with each other." A black brow raised at the girl's blush. "If they are that accurate with their guesses, I can see why they're Turks." Blue eyes widened as she girl idly sturred the noodles on her plate around. She looked up when a gentle, sword-callused stopped her hand, and met his eyes.
"You…..are falling for me?" The blush across Kya's cheeks intensified as she nodded, and Zack grinned. "Wow….and here I thought it was just me." Kya smiled softly.
"Anyone else feel emotionally stupid like Reno?"
"OI!" Kya and Zack looked up to find said red-head and Cissnei standing beside their table. Reno nudged Zack until he moved to the other side of the booth, and Kya scooted over for Cissnei to sit across from her partner. The silverette smirked as Reno glared at her.
"You earned that one, Red." Cissnei laughed and reached over to steal a fried wonton from the younger girl's plate. "Hey!" Zack watched for a moment as the three around him joked and laughed for a moment before turning his head to scan the other people in the restaurant. His eyes landed on a greasy-looking man just as he was turning away from staring at the four teens. "Zack?"
"Sorry. There's a guy over there who was watching us." Kya followed his eyes to the man and froze, fear dancing in her eyes. "Ky?" Without a word, the silverette nudged Cissnei until the older girl slid out of the booth and quickly walked over to the counter, paying the check quickly. Zack and the others shared a look as they gathered their stuff and followed the girl. When they got to the car, Kya surprised Zack by taking the keys out of his pocket and sliding into the driver's seat. "Ky? Babe, are you ok?" Kya shook her head and refused to say a word until they were speeding down the road back to base.
"Since I was little, I've always had this weird power. Don't ask what it is, because I can't tell. Anyways, there's this guy who's been after my powers since I was about ten. Daddy brought us back to Shinra because he thought I would be safer with SOLDIER and the Turks. That's why you guys have been assigned to stay with me. Daddy doesn't think I can handle myself." Zack settled an arm on the back of her seat and idly toyed with her hair, calming her down slightly.
"So why are we running away if you think you can handle yourself?" Cissnei asked, leaning forward a little bit. Kya drew a breath.
"Because I know he's right. Because what this man has done in the past scared me, and I'll never be able to fight him because of it. And before you say anything, Reno-" The fire-haired Turk closed his mouth. "-I do trust you guys to take care of yourselves. I do not doubt your fighting abilities. I just don't want you to have to fight him."Zack stroked his girlfriend's hair, and was pleased to see the speedometer go down to a safer speed.
"So what are you going to do now?" Kya met Cissnei's eyes in the rearview mirror for a moment.
"I don't know yet. But if it comes to it, I might have to run."
When the four got back to base, they were surprised to find that Angeal and Sephiroth had been sent on a mission, while Genesis was in the office with paperwork. Kya had let out a small whine at the news before grabbing her bags from the car and heading up to the apartment, barely waiting for Zack.
