Lunch was served shortly after and the topic had finally changed from them back to work and past missions. It felt weird having to share their dad with someone else as they rarely spent time with him at all. When he was with them he was always looked serious and rarely even said a word. But their father looked like a normal person for once, he even laughed at one point.

"These are good" Angeal took another dumpling. "Sephiroth you don't look like the cooking type so you couldn't have made these."

"Yazoo made them." Kadaj announced so proudly. "He can cook anything."

Angeal laughed amused at Kadaj's child like manners. "You lot are full of surprises." He took a couple more bites. "So what your specialty then." Kadaj choked on his drink. He looked at his father before answering a look of amusement was returned. "So…"

"I don't really have one"

"He's lying he is a master with the Souba. He may even surpass dad soon" Yazoo smiled at his brother who returned one back.

"I guess us old timers have a challenge ahead of us." Angeal laughed, "If your dad doesn't mind maybe later we can a have a little sparing match." They all turned to Sephiroth.

"Do as you please." Sephiroth stood. "How about now. I would like to see this as well."

Kadaj's face lit up. His father had not watched him practice since he was 10 when he gave him his first weapon. Often he would watch his father practice in the basement but Sephiroth often scolded him and told him to stop wasting valuable time.

The basement was big, grey and bare, in one corner stood a metal table, which was where his father sat whilst sharpening his Katana. There was a small window in the centre that opened out in to the garden letting a small amount of light through. The room was sound proof, for what reason they had no idea. But often his father would punish him down there so Yazoo wouldn't hear and start crying.

"If you don't mind fighting down here." Sephiroth lead them down the stairs to the basement. "As you recall no one knows of them yet."

"This is fine" Angeal grinned.

Kadaj grabbed his Souba from the built in cupboard under the stairs and faced Angeal who stood in the centre of the room while the rest stood against the wall near the stairs to avoid getting in the way. The silence was deafening as it felt like they had been standing there for ages before Kadaj made his attack. Angeal used a normal sword as he countered Kadaj's attack causing him to stumble. Kadaj quickly regained his composure as Angeal came at him forcing him into the wall.

"I though Sephiroth's son would be a lot better than this!" Angeal teased as he jumped back avoiding Kadaj's swing.

Kadaj smiled, he charged at Angeal forcing him back, before he could regain his stance Kadaj was behind him with his Souba at his neck.

"Not bad." Angeal laughed, "Better then I expected."

"You weren't even trying." Kadaj smirked

"Maybe not but you certainly better than I expected. With a little guidance you will surpass us in no time." Angeal sighed, "Now this old man needs to rest after such a workout lets head back upstairs."

The day had gone quick and it was now dinnertime. Yazoo had prepared a simple dish of steamed fish and rice with potatoes and green beans. They ate at the dining table, which had never been done in their house. It felt weird but it was nice to be all in the same room even if there wasn't much talking.

After dinner Sephiroth and Angeal disappeared in to the study and Loz had gone to watch tv as usual leaving Kadaj and Yazoo to clean up the table.

Kadaj yawned as he put the dishes in the sink.

"If you're tired I can clean up." Yazoo said as he started to wash up.

"I'm fine" Kadaj looked distracted as he dried and put away the plates but they both carried on in silence.

In the study Angeal was questioning Sephiroth about the boys.

"So what are you planning on doing with them?" Angeal pacing up and down the room as Sephiroth sat calmly at the desk. "Our jobs too dangerous to have family, they could become a target."

"I'm well aware of the risks, that's why I've kept it a secret for so long." Sephiroth sighed. "But it becoming impossible for me to keep them hidden. Kadaj has reached the rebellious stage. I avoided it with the other two but the risk has increased."

"It's not just our enemies that I'm worried about." The tension in the room was getting thick. "Shinra will want to run tests on them."

Sephiroth said nothing, as he was deep in thought. He knew Angeal was right, there had never been a record of a soldier having offspring before and they would jump at the chance to experiment on them.

"I will speak to the boys tomorrow and we will proceed from there."

At that moment there was a knock on the study door and Yazoo entered. It was just after 10 o'clock and he was already dressed for bed in his black pyjamas and navy blue gown.

"Kadaj and Loz has gone to bed now..." Yazoo looked at the floor as he spoke, fear consumed him though he didn't show it" …and I'm ready for my punishment"

Sephiroth was shocked by his son words. He had forgotten all about the morning and all the anger he had felt then was nonexistent. He secretly smiled to himself as Angeal looked at his in astonishment.

"It's late just go to bed. We will deal with this another time." Yazoo looked up in shock to see that his fathers mind was elsewhere.

"Ok. Goodnight then."

"Goodnight" Sephiroth replied.

"Goodnight Angeal, It was a pleasure meeting you."

"You too, goodnight."

Yazoo left the room.

"What was that about? What punishment?" Angeal questioned.

"It's not important."

"If you say so." Angeal shrugged.

Yazoo was heading up stairs as he looked up to see Kadaj staring down at him. Kadaj was in his blue pyjamas he looked at his brother with innocent eyes as if looking for comfort. Yazoo knew what his brother wanted as he gave him a hug before walking back to their room. They both shared a room as Yazoo and Loz always argued and Yazoo didn't mind sharing.

"So what happened?" Kadaj asked as they entered his room. The room was big and dark with a small lamp on the side table giving enough light to make out each other's faces. The walls were a cream and there were two single beds parallel to one another in the middle of the room. One window was positioned between the beds with orange curtains. Next to the door stood desk and a walk in cupboard in the right corner.

"Nothing happened." Yazoo replied. "Now get into bed"

"But…" The look on Yazoo's face told him not to ask questions. Kadaj got into bed and watched Yazoo take off his gown and throw it on the nearby chair before getting into his own bed and turning of the light. "Yazoo…"

"Huh" Yazoo turned back on the light and looked at Kadaj.

"What was mom like?" Yazoo was shocked at the question. "…You were 4 when she died right ….so you will remember her better then any of us." There was long silence as Yazoo scanned his mind for memories of his mom. They never spoke of their mother before and Yazoo was unsure whether it was good for them to do so now.

"Well I don't remember much, but I do remember her beautiful voice."

"Her voice…"

"Yeah she would sing to me and Loz every night and tell us stories." Yazoo smiled to himself. "I remember the story of the boy with the two younger brothers, I never realised back then it was me, at the time I only had Loz but I understand it now that I'm older and that she wanted me to look after you both." Yazoo hadn't realised how much he remembered of his mother at times he would forget her face.

"I'm sorry, Yazoo." Kadaj hugged his pillow and face away. "I'm sorry I took her away from you." Soon after he had said it he felt someone slide into the bed next to him and hold him tight.

"You have nothing to be sorry for." Yazoo consoled him. "Now go to sleep."

Downstairs Angeal and Sephiroth was still talking about the situation. If anyone would have an answer to all Sephiroth's problems it wound be Angeal.

"So that's who is the mother" Angeal smirked "I would have never thought she would go for someone like you and neither of you showed signs of being together"

"We thought it would be for the best, as you said they will target your family." Sephiroth walked over to the glass cabernet and pull out a old bottle of whisky. "Would you like some?" He offered Angeal.

"Since when do you drink?" Angeal raised a eyebrow. "Yeah pour me a glass"

"I don't usually" he sighed as he handed him a glass. "Based on my situation I think I deserve one."

"I hear you, just don't make it a habit" They both laughed.

Sephiroth smirked as he stared at his glass. "To be honest I want to get them into school and give them a normal life but its easier said then done."

"There's not many schools since the last war and the ones that are there are expensive" Angeal looked around the room "But I guess you don't have to worry about money Mr hero" he mocked. "So are you planning on telling Genesis?"

"I don't really have much of a choice, you know what he's like if he's left out" they both knew him to well.

Angeal left just after 12 as they both drank and looked over their options whilst not coming to any conclusions.

Sorry not good with fight scenes. Also have changed to ages in chapter 1 so it makes a bit more sense. Trying to keep Sephiroth in character as much as possible but him having a family is weird as it is.

Made a few changes to the chapters like there ages ect. Will start writing again soon. Thanks for waiting.
