Chapter 4- Back to the hospital
The next morning was bright and sunny. Kadaj awoke to an unfamiliar but very welcoming smell which he soon realized must be their breakfast. Seeing that he was the only one of his brothers up he dressed then went downstairs to see for himself what the mysterious smell was. He entered the kitchen and saw Tifa Lockhart hunched over the stove cooking something Kadaj did not recognize.
"What's that? Kadaj asked Tifa curiously. He reasoned to himself that he was justified in asking that question. In a frying pan was unfamiliar pieces of meat and in a pot there was some lumpy mixture which Kadaj prayed they weren't eating.
"This is called bacon she explained; pointing to the meat in the frying pan, and this is oatmeal, she said pointing to the lumpy mixture in the pot.
"I see. But do I have to eat the oatmeal? It looks kinda gross to me.
Tifa smiled at him. "Trust me you'll like it, just give it a chance. She then looked around and saw that he was alone. "Aren't your brothers up yet?
"No. They were both still sleeping so I decided to come down by myself to see what you were doing. I'm actually going to go back up there and see if they are awake yet. He smiled at Tifa and went back upstairs to his room and saw that Yazoo was awake. "Did you sleep well he asked him.
"Not really Yazoo replied. Each time I managed to fall asleep I kept seeing images in my head, stuff that seems familiar yet I can't quite grasp what it means. He then saw what Kadaj was wearing and saw Souba, Kadaj's sword on the back of it and clutched his head in agony.
"Yazoo what's wrong? Kadaj asked walking up to his brother.
"I remember that blade and now I'm seeing all these flashbacks of you fighting with it. He then gasped. I also see you dropping Souba and fading away. Never to return again.
Kadaj brought Yazoo to him and hugged him. "My brother I think you are starting to get your memory back. "Tell me, what else do you remember?
"I see me and Loz fighting two people in the city and then I see us fighting Cloud. Wait, I thought Cloud was our brother. Why would we fight him?
"It will come back to you in time. Kadaj told him soothingly. For now let's just focus on waking Loz up and going to eat breakfast ok?
"Before we do that can you please tell me where my suit and… he clutched his head again. He finally continued, and also where is my gun Velvet Nightmare?
Kadaj smiled. He pointed to the bag beside Yazoo's bed. "I had a feeling you might want them so I brought them with me when we left the hospital. You can go change in the bathroom. Yazoo smiled and Kadaj saw that it was the smile Yazoo used to smile and then he left the room.
"Loz wake up Kadaj said shaking his brother roughly.
"What is it? Loz mumbled, annoyed that his sleep had been disturbed.
"Breakfast is almost ready and I've made some progress with Yazoo.
"How much progress? Loz asked him.
"He's having flashbacks of us fighting and he remembers his treasured weapon Velvet Nightmare.
"That's a sign that he's getting better right? Loz asked Kadaj excitedly.
"Yes it's definitely a good thing, I just hope that's it's not too much to soon.
"What do you mean Loz asked.
"I mean, because we have Jenova cells in us he might heal at a rate quicker than humans and that it might lead to complications.
Loz had tears falling down his face now. "What sort of complications?
Kadaj was about to answer when Yazoo came back into the room.
"This fits me exactly the way I remember it. He then saw the tears on Loz's face. "Don't cry Loz he said automatically. He held his head. "Where did that come from? "Did I used to say that? Both his brothers nodded. "Why do you look upset then? Isn't it a good thing that I'm remembering this stuff?
"Yazoo were just a little worried Kadaj said. Were scared that you are remembering things to fast and that if it continues like this that something bad is going to happen to you.
"Nothing bad is going to happen me Yazoo told them confidently. However that wasn't quite the case as Yazoo fell forward and lay on the floor unconscious.
"Yazoo! Loz screamed. Kadaj what do we do?
"I'll go get Tifa. He soon came back a few minutes later with an anxious Tifa on his heels.
"What happened Tifa asked with concern in her voice?
"We were talking about some old memories and Yazoo just all of a sudden fell forward and hasn't moved since Kadaj explained.
"I'll go call an ambulance we have to get Yazoo back to the hospital. With that Tifa left the room and prayed that they would be able to get help for Yazoo in time.
