Another Monster
"Sephiroth, what do you want?" Tifa asked she could hear the sound of people in the background.
"Put Cloud on!" Sephiroth yelled into the phone.
"Cloud phones for you." Tifa said her ears ringing.
"Ya?" Cloud asked taking the phone from Tifa.
"Cloud I am going crazy! These stupid remnants wont shut up." Sephiroth said with an irritated tone. Cloud bit his tongue to keep from laughing.
"What do you want me to do?"
"Get them out of here! I have tried throwing them off a cliff and I even sent them into one of the side caves at the northern crater and sealed it closed. They wont leave me alone!" Sephiroth moaned.
"Brother who are you talking to?" Loz asked.
"I'm not your brother!" Cloud herd Sephiroth yell at him. The sound of sniffling came and Yazoo said.
"Don't cry Loz."
"Brother let me talk." Kadaj said as he got the phone from Sephiroth.
"Give me that Fing Phone back!"
"Hello, are you brothers friend? Brother said that he was going to kill us…Hey I wasn't done talking!" Kadaj said as Sephiroth got the phone back.
"Just get rid of them!" Sephiroth said as Yazoo took the phone.
"Hello, brother says that you are a friend, it would be nice to meet you sometime."
"Yazoo I want to talk!" The sound of the phone being fought over was loud enough that Cloud pulled the phone away from his ear some. Then Sephiroth hung up one Cloud. (Cloud trying to not laugh and doing a bad job of it) Tifa walked back in the room and Cloud got the same serious expression on his face again in record time.
"What did he want?" Tifa asked.
"It was nothing, just a prank call. I'm going to check on Kat they should have been here by now."
"Want me to come?"
"Its ok, the worst thing I could find is no one there."
"Ok, be careful ok?" Cloud nodded to her and walked out. He got on his bike and went to the church first then he would go and help out Sephiroth. When Cloud got there the first thing that said trouble was the doors being opened and the bullet hole in one. He continued inside and saw Kats bag with her things scattered around.
"Kat, Vincent?" Cloud said, there was no answer. Cloud looked down at the stone block someone had shot it to get it open. The gun was sitting down on the ground next to the box.
"Why would they shoot it open and not take the gun?" Cloud asked looking at the box closer. He couldn't tell that anything but the gun had been in the block. Cloud gathered Kats things up and flipped his phone open and called Kat.
"Hello?" Kat answered her phone.
"Kat are you alright? I came to the Church and your stuff was scattered everywhere."
"I'm ok but what happened to the block?"
"It was shot open and the gun is sitting on the ground next to it."
"Was there anything else in the box?" Kat asked worried.
"No nothing, why?"
"My parents had some hair from Jenova in that box, that's why they spent the time to make it difficult to get open."
"What? Do you know who came here this morning?"
"Ya it was the Turks. Vincent got me out of there but my stuff was left there."
"But your safe right?"
"Ya at the moment."
"Ok, I need to go,"
"ok, bye." Cloud hung up and got back on his bike with Kats things. Cloud then went to help out Sephiroth. When Cloud got to the Forgotten City (Sephiroth currently staying there) The remnants followed Sephiroth out. Sephiroth looked like he was about to snap and kill them all.
"Brother I thought you would look better with shorter hair." Kadaj said looking innocent holding the scissors.
"What happened?" Cloud asked.
"They tried to cut my hair that's what happened." Sephiroth said holding a hand full of hair that had been cut almost 4 inches shorter than the rest of his hair.
"Ok, where are the other two?" Cloud asked.
"Inside." Sephiroth hissed taking the scissors and cutting the rest of his hair to match the area that Kadaj had cut shorter. Cloud went inside the building and saw Loz knocked out on the ground and Yazoo sitting next to him half knocked out. Cloud couldn't help but smirk, Sephiroth had beaten the crap out of these two Kadaj being the only one of them still standing. Yazoo was coming to only to be hit over the head again by Cloud to keep him knocked out.
"Brother why don't you want to cut your hair?" Kadaj asked in a whiney tone.
"The same reason that Yazoo doesn't cut his hair!" Sephiroth yelled. Kadaj stopped dead in his tracks and said.
"Your gay?"
"What? No I'm not gay, I like my hair like this!" (Sorry about saying Yazoo is gay but I couldn't help it -') Cloud walked up behind Kadaj and hit him in the back of the head. As Kadaj fell to the ground knocked out Cloud said.
"Where do you want to dump them?"
"One in a different cave somewhere far from here." Sephiroth said still pissed that they had cut his hair.
"Plenty of caves at the Northern Crater." Cloud said as he dragged Kadaj over to his bike and tossed him on. Cloud then dragged Loz and tossed him on next to Kadaj.
" You get to take Yazoo." Cloud said. When they got to the Northern Crater the three remnants were still passed out. Cloud carelessly tossed one into a cave and sealed it shut. He did the same to Kadaj in the cave next to the one Loz was in. Sephiroth put Yazoo in to cave on the other side of Loz. Once the caves were sealed shut Sephiroth said.
"Thanks, I thought I was going to kill them."
"Why didn't you? You never hesitated to kill before."
"Kat said what she had done bringing us to her world changed a lot of things here. Those remnants are here for a reason and if we want to try and keep anything else from changing then we cant kill them. I hope they die in there though." Sephiroth said still pissed about his hair being cut.
With Kat
"Vincent your house is cool." Kat said looking at the gothic styled home. Most of the home had shelves filled with books and other areas had some random pictures on the wall.
"Its not much, but its good enough for me." Vincent said. The home was furnished in red or black furniture and the tables made of wood were a dark cherry color.
"I'm going to make sure we weren't followed." Vincent said.
"Ok, be careful." Kat said with a smile.
"Go on and take a look around."
"Ok." Kat said as Vincent walked outside. Kat looked around the many shelves of books. Most of them were about the history of the final fantasy world others random books about fictional stories. Kat noticed one book at the top shelf. It had no label on it. Kat reached up to grab it. She pulled it down and looked at the front. It had the shape of Vincent's pendent imprinted on the black leather in a crimson color. The book was thick and old, Kat opened the book about half way through it. There was writing in it, that stopped half way down the page. It was Vincent's journal. Kat closed the book and put it back on the shelf in its place quickly and grabbed a book lower down, it turned out to be a fictional story about a man that ran from his life as the king of a land and went north and became a ranger. There was something about a wizard and some other people, elves had a big role in the plot line, one was traveling with the ranger and became friends with a dwarf. Vincent walked into the room and said.
"No one is around, your reading that?"
"Um…ya I hope you don't mind." Kat said.
"No its just that you are reading the third book."
"Oh, I just grabbed it off the shelf it looked interesting."
"I see," Vincent pulled two more books off the shelf and said.
"These are the first two, you can borrow them if you want to."
"Really, thank you." Kat said taking the books from Vincent. "They probably will make more sense if I read them in order." she said with a smile.
At Shin-ra Building
"Well look what the little Cetra had." Rufus said holding the hair of Jenova that was held together by a rubber band. "Did she have anything else of interest?" Rufus asked setting down the hair.
"She had a Shin-ra poster, some wood from the Forgotten City, and clothing sir." Elane said.
"Did you bring her other stuff?"
"No sir." Elane said.
"Then they will be going back for her stuff, go stand watch. Don't be seen until you have the girl in sight."
"Yes sir." Elane and Reno said at the same time. Outside of Rufus's office they meet up with Rude and headed out for the Church again.
With Kat
"Hey Vincent can we go to the Seventh Heaven bar?" Kat said looking up from the first book.
"Sure, you left your boxes there anyways."
"Ya, I want to get the cameras so I can take some pictures."
"Ok, lets go." Kat walked out of Vincent's house they left the books there. About an hour later they walked up to the Seventh Heaven.
"Hey Tifa." Kat said when she walked in.
"Hey Kat, hey Vincent."
"Hey kid." Cid said from his normal spot at the bar.
"Clouds not here he had to take care of something." Tifa said when Kat looked around for Cloud.
"Ok, can I get some stuff from my boxes?" Kat asked.
"Sure go ahead."
"Ok thanks." Kat walked upstairs and was greeted by Marlene.
"Kat! You're here!"
"Yup, can't stay long though, I don't want to have those Turks come looking for me here again."
"Ok." Kat walked with Marlene to the spare room that her boxes were in. Kat went through the boxes grabbing the cameras and her Summoning Materia.
"I was worried, I herd that they found you at Aerith's church. Is that true?" Marlene asked.
"Ya, but you know that I am faster then them. They didn't even get within 20 feet of me." Kat lied to keep Marlene from worrying so much.
"Don't worry about me ok, I wont get caught."
"Ok, then you have to call every day or come and see us. Then we'll know for sure that they didn't catch you."
"Ok, I'll call or come over for a visit." They walked down stairs and Vincent was talking with Tifa about what happened that morning. He finished talking when Kat got over to them, she knew he left out the part where Chaos had kissed her.
"Kat, I don't know how we are going to keep you hidden, they are searching everywhere for you." Tifa said with a hint that she had lost hope that they could keep Kat safe.
"They know that I have black hair, well if I changed my hair color them finding me would be harder."
"Tseng will see through it though."
"Ya I know but he got hurt when Vincent shot at him, he wont be out looking for a little while at least." Kat said.
"Ok, do you care what color your hair is?"
"Not really."
"Then I have some brown hair dye that you can use. I used it back when I was a little girl because I didn't like my hair color."
"Sounds great." Kat said with a smile. Kat walked upstairs with Tifa and came down a while later. Kats hair had been bleached and she had a shower cap on to keep the dye from getting on the ground while it stained her hair a light brown color.
"Looking good." Cid teased. Kat punched him in the arm and said.
"Shut up, I wont wear this forever, just for the next 20 minutes."
Brown hair, the same face, this girl is starting to look a lot like Lucrecia. Chaos said with enthusiasm.
She does not, she isn't Lucrecia, and she isn't even related to her. She is a Cetra just like Aerith. Vincent said in reply to his other half. 20 minutes later Kat went up stairs again to wash out the extra dye. Kat came back down with light brown hair. Cloud had walked in while she was washing her hair.
"You look cute, just like a little Aerith." Tifa said with a smile.
"Really? I look that much like her?" Kat asked
"Ya, just a pink dress and you could be her. Right Cloud?"
Kat looked at Cloud and he said.
"Ya, just like twins." Cloud said looking down at his glass.
"Kat we should go get your things." Vincent said.
"I have them here, I picked them up when I went to the church and you two weren't there." Cloud said, walking over to where his buster sword leaned against the wall. He picked up Kats bag and handed it to Kat.
"Thanks." She said putting the two of the cameras in her bag and said.
"Ok everyone group picture." They all gathered together and waited for Kat to take the picture. Then next shot Cloud agreed that she should be in it and he took the picture. The pictures turned out nice and with 17 more shots on that camera Kat hoped that she could get a picture with the rest of the final fantasy characters that weren't trying to alter her genetic code in some way. Kat knew where she could find Yuffie, but the others were a mystery. Kat liked her new look, but could tell that it reminded Cloud of Aerith. If Kat remembered right Cloud had suffered when Sephiroth killed Aerith.
