Chapter 2- Hurt and Alone
Yuzuki got dressed in her usual clothes, which were black pants along with a black tank top and her black combat boots, and looked at herself in the mirror. She thought she didn't look too bad. Though she tried her best to keep away from mirrors a lot except for when she actually needed to look in one. Every time she looked in a mirror, she could only see a weak girl. Not a SOLDIER or someone strong. Though everyone always told her that she was a strong person and not weak. She smiled slightly at herself and fixed her hair. She had almost forgot about the wristband that she had. Cloud had made it for her. It was black and had the same symbol that he wore on the front of the left side of his shirt all the time. She got it from her dresser and put it on. She looked at it for a few minutes and smiled a bit more. She then made herself something small and quick to eat before heading out of her dorm and started out to General Sephiroth's office to find out what she was going to be doing that day.. "I think Sephiroth is supposed to tell me." She said to herself as she kept walking. She didn't hear Cloud running up to her from behind nor did she sense him until he put his hand on her shoulder. She gasped and looked back seeing him. Having been scared by him suddenly putting his hand on her shoulder. "Oh, sorry. I didn't mean to scare you there Yuzuki." He smiled softly at her. Yuzuki smiled back at Cloud, having calmed down a bit now. "Thats alright Cloud. I need to stop being so jumpy is all." She said with her gentle and soft voice. She turned to fully face Cloud and hugged him. He hugged her back and said, "I know, but after what happened to you I should really put that into consideration more often." Yuzuki pulled back from the hug and looked at Cloud. It still affected her, a lot, what Kadaj and the other two did to her and she knew Cloud felt the most bad about it because it was his "brothers" that kidnapped her and also because they only kidnapped her to get to him. "Cloud, please don't feel so bad still. It's not your fault really and it's thanks to you that I'm back here now." Cloud had a sort of sad look on his face as he looked at her. "I know... But still Yuzuki, I hate them so much for what they did to you and how it took me so long to get there and save you which only gave them more time to hurt you." Cloud said sadly. He did feel really bad about it. Yuzuki put her hand on his arm to try and comfort him. Cloud put his hand over hers and smiled a little. "Thanks Yuzuki." He said. Yuzuki kept her smile on her face and said, "No problem Cloud. Now if you'll excuse me I have to see if the General has any orders for me today. And if he doesn't I'll just train with Zach or Vincent for a while." Cloud nodded and Yuzuki took her hand off his arm and started walking away. "See ya Cloud!" She yelled to him. Cloud waved at her and said, "See ya Yuzuki!" Yuzuki kept her smile until she turned away from Cloud. She couldn't possibly bring herself to tell him the nightmares that plague her because of Kadaj, Yazoo and Loz. The suffering that she goes through every day because of what she remembers. "Why can't my memory loss affect those memories?... Why does it have to affect others but not those?" She asked herself as she walked. She remembers the last words that Kadaj spoke to her the day that Cloud came to get her, before Vincent took her away... "We will come and get you again one day soon. And we will have fun with you just like this time." It wasn't just a statement, it was a promise. And she knew that. Those words have haunted her since the day that he spoke them... She hoped that Kadaj wouldn't keep to his word but she couldn't help but feel dread whenever she thought about that. And what would happen if they did get her again...
She tried to push those thoughts out of her head for the moment and focus on the task at hand. Talking to Sephiroth as SOLDIER and General. Instead of casually like before. Besides, she figured that Sephiroth didn't want other people outside of her dorm to know that there was something going on between them. Then again she couldn't be sure since she couldn't tell what Sephiroth was thinking in the first place. She got to his office and knocked on the door. Once she heard him say "Come in." She opened the door and walked in. Sephiroth looked up from his paperwork and looked at her. She blushed slightly and said, "Good morning sir. I need to know if there are any missions I'm going to be going on today or any tasks that I'll be handling?" The silver haired General smiled at her and said, "I don't think I'm going to assign you anything for another couple of days. You seem to be working yourself too hard and we can't have a tired out SOLDIER now can we?" He told her. She was surprised slightly. Thinking that he must have known about her training so hard. But she couldn't deny that he was right. She smiled a little at him and said, "Ok, Sir. Thank you." She was about to walk out of his office before she heard him say, "Yuzuki, wait a minute please?" She stopped walking and turned back to face him. He was still sitting down. "You haven't forgotten about our date right?" He asked her smiling more now. "No, I haven't." She said while blushing more. "Good." He stated. Then also said, "And by the way, as I said before call me Sephiroth. No need for the 'Sir'. Even when out in public." She was a little surprised to hear him say that but was also relieved at the same time, now knowing that it was ok with him if every one else there knew about them. "Ok, Sephiroth." She said smiling. "That's better. Now you go and rest ok?" Yuzuki nodded and left the office. She started walking to a certain part of a forest that was outside Shinra. She enjoyed going there. She continued walking until a little bit later she came upon a beautiful sight. A nice clear stream and small lake, soft green grass and some black and purple butterflies flying around. This was her special place. She sighed in content and went and sat down by the lake. She looked down at the fish in the water. Somehow though again, her thoughts trailed to the three that had hurt her... She started remembering everything that happened, from the time that they kidnapped her to when Cloud came and saved her... Yuzuki was a different person back then before it happened. She was more innocent and more cheerful even in the most worst of times. Now she was more distant from her friends and kept things to herself a lot, which she never really used to do before...
-Flashback-
Yuzuki could say that it was nice that evening, the breeze was cool and nice, the smell of sweet flowers was in the air as she walked through the forest. The sun had barely started to go down and she knew she would have to get back soon. Cloud, Tifa, Zach and Reno they all asked if she wanted them to go with her but she had said that she would be fine on her own. She hummed a little quietly to herself while looking up at the sky as the first few nighttime stars came out. "It's such a wonderful night tonight." She was too comfortable in the setting that she was in to sense a few others that surrounded her. She had met them before, fought them before and hated them. They closed in around her, hidden in the tree's in the forest. She didn't feel them until right before they came out, though she tried to act calm even though she didn't have any weapons with her. They came out and she growled as she saw them. Kadaj stood there with a little smirk on his face as well as Yazoo and Loz. Dressed in their usual black attire. "What do you guys want?" She said to them, trying not to be scared. She noticed that Yazoo had his Velvet Nightmare handgun and she knew how strong Kadaj and Loz were as it was. Especially because Kadaj always carried that Souba Katana with him too. And then there was that thing that Loz had on his arm called the Dual Hound. She hated that thing. It didn't do too much damage to her but it still hurt. "Oh, we were just wandering around here and we came upon you." Kadaj said almost laughing. She growled at him and backed away a little. She knew how far the others were from her and even if she did try and run from them they would get to her before she could even get close enough to call for the others for help. Kadaj and Yazoo stood in front of her to her right and her left and Loz was standing behind her. She looked around to see if there was anything she could use for a weapon, a tree branch or something but she couldn't see anything. She got into a fighting position and Yazoo chuckled a little bit. "So you plan on fighting us? Even though you don't have any weapons?" She gasped quietly. So they did know. "Yeah, so what?" She asked him. She was getting more worried now. They had their weapons and she had none. They started walking towards her and she started to back away again then stopped, now remembering that Loz was behind her and that if he got her in his grip she might not be able to get out of it. Yuzuki wasn't quite sure what to do. She was more then sure she couldn't run, and she couldn't fight either. It was three against one. Plus, they had weapons and she had none. She was in a tight fix for sure but tried to keep calm still. "What do you three want?" She asked, trying to find out what they were doing there in the first place. It was no mere coincidence that they would be around in the same forest as her, especially when she was all by herself. 'They had to have planned this...' She thought to herself. 'But what could they want from me?' She wondered. They all just looked at her, smirking pretty much. She was starting to get a bad feeling and wished that she had Cloud with her or Reno or Vincent. Someone to help her. "What we want, is you." Kadaj stated. Yuzuki gasped slightly and held in growling. She wanted to charge right at Kadaj but she knew she shouldn't unless she wanted to get hurt. Then again she had started to think that she was going to get hurt anyway. "Why do you want me?" She asked. All three of them looked at each other then at her again. "We have our reasons, one being our big brother Cloud. We want to get back at him." Yazoo said. Yuzuki then growled. "Get back at him? For what?" She asked now angry. She clenched her fists and they all laughed a little bit. "Have you forgotten? All the fights that we've been in and everything?" Yazoo asked. "And besides that, your the easiest target for us to get to him. To hurt him with." Kadaj said. "Your going to use me to get to Cloud?" She asked. "Yes, now if you will just come with us nicely then you won't get hurt..." Kadaj said smirking. "Yet." Then Loz added. She looked back at him and almost ran at him but she couldn't move her feet now. She was started to actually get really scared. She then looked back at Kadaj and Yazoo and said, "No way am I going with you guys. Anywhere ever." Before she could run, which she was starting to think about doing, Loz had come up quickly behind her and grabbed a hold of her, restraining her. She cried out in pain slightly from his strong grip and tried to struggle. "Get off me now!" She yelled at him. Loz pointed his Dual Hound at her side and used the electricity from it to shock her a little so she wouldn't struggle so much. She cried out even louder this time, now in more pain. And tried to move but found it very hard to do so. Kadaj and Yazoo smirked even more now and walked up to Yuzuki and Loz. She was panting a little bit and was looking down at the ground. "Good, now we can take her. Come on, lets tie up just her hands." Kadaj had said then grabbed some rope and had Loz throw her to the ground. She held in crying out in pain this time and felt as he (Kadaj) tied her hands together behind her back. He then lifted her up and had her stand on her feet. Even though she wasn't totally steady yet. "Come on." He said and yanked her toward a different part of the forest. As she walked with them she was thinking about how worried everyone must already be, considering how long she's been gone and how much they'll be worried when she doesn't come back. Before she knew it she could see the three's motorcycles. Yazoo got on his and Loz got on his as well. And Kadaj put Yuzuki on his motorcycle before he got on in back of her. "This is to make sure you don't try and get away." He told her coldly. She whimpered slightly. They turned on the vehicles and started heading somewhere. She didn't know where they were going but she didn't want to be anywhere with them. Not at all. She closed her eyes and hung her head a little.
She wasn't sure how long they had traveled for but it was already all the way night by the time they got there. She opened her eyes and looked up, seeing the place that they were at now. It looked like a very large steel building. She knew they weren't at the Forgotten City like they would normally be at probably. They all turned off their motorcycles and got off. Kadaj grabbed Yuzuki by the back of her shirt and took her off of his motorcycle. She growled at him because of the pain it caused her. He just smirked and started leading her into the building. She looked around and tried to get a good look at her surroundings, she had just realized that she was too caught up with what was going on with her to bother looking around as they started going to this, what she guess as their 'Hideout'. She tried to struggle again to get free from the ropes that bound her arms but she couldn't seem to. She noticed that it was pretty amusing to them that she was trying to struggle so much. "Look at that brothers, she's trying to fight back." Yazoo said, smiling. Yuzuki looked at him and growled. "Oh now she's so scary." Kadaj mocked her. That only made Yuzuki more angry. When she tried to lunge and Yazoo first, Kadaj held her back by her arm and gripped it tightly. She gasped in pain and glared at him. "Don't try anything or we won't be so nice." Loz told her. "That's right." Yazoo said. She just turned her head away from them. "Good." Kadaj said then finished leading her into the large building. She walked in and felt how cold it was in there. It was pretty dark and she could barely see. She tried to get her eyes to adjust to the dark. Just then Loz turned on some lights and she could see a lot more better now, though she did have to blink her eyes a few times to get used to the light. It looked not exactly like a mansion inside but kind of close to it. She had to admit that it did look nice kind of. But it still had a dungeon sort of look to it though... There were a few chairs and a couch, in what she took a guess as the 'living room' probably. She looked around more then felt as Kadaj untied her. She turned around to where she was facing them now. Yazoo locked the door and she knew for sure then that she wouldn't be getting out of this. "This place is ours. You'll be staying here for as long as we're going to keep you." Kadaj said. Yuzuki was afraid, but she wasn't going to show it. "How long are you planning on keeping me here?" They all chuckled a little. "As long as it takes for big brother to figure out where you are and come here to get you. Who knows how long that could be." Kadaj said with an obviously amused look on his face. 'Cloud...' She thought. 'Please find me soon... I don't want to be with them for too long.' She was getting lost in thought again before she felt Kadaj grab her by her arm again. She almost cried out in pain but stopped herself. "Lets go, I'm taking you to your room." He told her. She didn't have any time to register what he had said before he started to drag her up a stairway. "You two, get what needs to be done around here done while I get Yuzuki here settled in." He said to the other two as he walked up the stairs with Yuzuki. "Y-You don't have to hold on so tightly." She told him. "He smirked again and said, "Of course I do, don't want you trying to think you can get away so easily." She sighed, she was going to have at least a couple of bruises in the morning from how rough they were being with her. Kadaj led her down a hallway and then came up to a door to a room, he opened it and turned on the light switch. She saw that the walls were pretty much all white, with a bed with blue sheets on it and a couple of pillows, as well as a window and black carpet on the floor. It didn't have much furniture in it. Kadaj threw her into the room and she fell onto the floor. "This is your room. You are going to stay in here until one of us comes to get you. Or unless we allow you out of your room. If you try to escape-" He laughed, "-You will be in severe pain." She could tell that that wasn't just a threat, it was a promise. She could tell by the way that he said it. He stared at her with his green cat-like eyes. Those eyes had always made her feel uncomfortable since the first time she saw them. She looked away from him and stood up. Then sat on the bed. Kadaj smiled and started walking out the door while closing it behind him. Before he fully closed it he told her, "Remember, don't even think about trying to escape. You know what we are capable of doing." With that he closed the door and left her in the room alone. She felt like crying. But held it in. She sighed sadly and walked over to the window and sat down on a chair by it. She stared up at the moon. Her purple eyes almost glowing just like it. "I'm sorry everyone. Especially to you, Cloud..." She said to herself. She put her hand over the part of her arm that Kadaj had grabbed her on. She winced, feeling the pain. He had quite a grip. But she thought that Loz had a even stronger grip. She could feel it on her ribs from when he grabbed her. She wondered slightly, what the three downstairs were doing while she was up there in the room...
Meanwhile, Kadaj went back downstairs to his two brothers. "So, how did she take the news?" Yazoo asked a bit sarcastically. "I think she took it well, I doubt that she will go against us." Kadaj said sitting down on one of the black chairs in the living room. Loz laid on the couch and Yazoo sat on one of the other black chairs. "Although, if she does try to defy us, or go against us. Punish her. Beat her up, things like that." Kadaj said, a cold look in his eyes that would make shivers go through anyone. "Fine with us." Yazoo and Loz said at the same time. "That ought to get back at big brother some, don't you think Kadaj?" Yazoo asked. "It sure will." Kadaj replied laughing. He did want Cloud to suffer for many reasons apparently. "Now, what should we do to fully make her feel welcome here?" Kadaj asked. "I have a few idea's but I want to hear what you guys think of." Loz and Yazoo just stared at Kadaj. "Hmm. Well brother I'm afraid that I can't think of anything. Can you Loz?" Yazoo said, leaning back in his chair. Loz shook his head."Nope." Kadaj sighed a bit. "Alright then. I'll go through with my idea's soon. And you will help me with them Yazoo and Loz." Yazoo smiled and nodded. "Very well brother." Kadaj sat in the chair thinking of his idea. Loz just nodded. What Kadaj had planned for Yuzuki none of them knew. Only Kadaj knew of course. And it wasn't going to be very pleasant for Yuzuki at all, especially if Kadaj was right about a certain subject...
Yuzuki had sat in the chair by the window for long enough and had decided to go to sleep. She figured that it was very late, from how high the moon was in the sky. She sighed, feeling tired and in pain and stood up, wincing a little. She walked over to the bed and laid down on it. She was surprised by how soft it was. She laid on her side and cried, mostly from missing Cloud and the others and wishing that she was home instead of there. She wiped the tears from her deep purple eyes and started falling asleep...
