A Kiss to Remember

Kat was near the outskirts of the city and gasping for air.

"You there! What are you doing on my property." Kat turned to see an elderly man holding a shovel in his hands.

"Please, I need help. Shin-ra is looking for me." Kat said in a hurry.

"Like that's true." He snorted.

"Please, believe me. I was used as a project they gave me a number on my arm." Kat said playing to part of the defenseless kid that was taken and tortured.

"Prove it." The man said. Kat sighed and walked into the light and showed him the number on her arm.

"Who was there?" A woman's voice came from the house as an elderly woman walked out her grey hair pinned up. When she saw Kat she put her hand over her mouth, it was clear she had seen Kat's eyes.

"This kid claims to have been kidnapped by Shin-ra and was used for some project." The man said still not believing Kat.

"Come in child, that is a terrible fate." The woman said beckoning Kat in.

"Becky we can't let in every kid with a story." The man said gripping his shovel.

"Look at the poor dears eyes, she wasn't born that way I can guarantee you that." The woman said grabbing Kat's arm with wrinkled old hands and pulled her in. The house smelt like old people and everything had a western look to it. The woman had lead Kat to the kitchen that was in a neat order with everything in rows.

"Is there anything we can do to help you?" The woman asked in a pitying tone.

"I just need transportation so I can get out of here." Kat said acting like she knew where her home was and was leaving Midgar behind for good.

"So you need to go somewhere, where is this place your going? Home no dough but where is it?" The man asked as he walked in.

"I am going to where my people live, so I guess… The Forgotten City." When Kat said this they paused just looking at her.

"Dear, I don't know how long Shin-ra had you in their labs but no one lives at the Forgotten City anymore. There are no Cetras left."

"But…I am a Cetra so they aren't all dead."

"Well kid, if what you say is true then Shin-ra is going to use you as a weapon. So I guess that I can give you our Chocobo to use. He is old but not as old as us."

"Really, thank you. But…I don't know how to ride a Chocobo."

"Then its good your first time will be on old golden." The man said walking out of the kitchen, Kat followed him out to a shed in the backyard. Inside was a Chocobo with dull yellow feathers, the bird was calm even with Kat coming into the shed.

"Ok so all you really need to know is that to turn right or left you pull the reins right or left. To stop you pull back and to get him going tap his sides some. The man said putting a saddle on the chocobo that was happy to be getting out. They helped Kat get on and then said.

"Don't worry about bringing him back, we have no use for him anymore.

"Ok, thanks for your help." Kat said pulling the reins to the right and started away from the city and from the Shin-ra company. It wasn't long until Kat was speeding towards the Forgotten City pushing the old Chocobo to its limits. It wasn't long before Kat was going through shimmering trees of the old forest around the city. The yellow bird was breathing hard but refused to slow down at all enjoying the speed and freedom it gave him. When the Forgotten City just came into view the bird started slowing down with exhaustion.

"Come on its not much farther." Kat said kicking its sides a little, the bird sped up a little then started to slow down again. Kat gave it another tap with her feet. The bird sped up but instead of slowing down it kept going faster. The Chocobo tripped on a rock and started to go chest first into the dirt a horrific screech was let out before Kat was thrown off its back and rolled to a stop near the water around the alter. Kat looked back at the Chocobo thinking it would get up and shake off the dirt covering its yellow feathers but the bird didn't move. It was dead. Kat's shock from being thrown off the bird was wearing off and the pain was setting in, her forehead had a long cut across it and her arms and legs were covered with cuts and burses to be. As Kat was getting up she felt cold metal on her neck and froze.

"What do you want?" a familiar deep voice said.

"Sephiroth?" Kat said and felt the metal be pulled away as Kat got up. Sephiroth sheathed his sword and looked at Kat's expression. Kat was trying to remember Sephiroth but the only that came up was the picture.

"Kat what happened to you?" He said looking shocked by how beat up Kat was.

"Fell of the damn Chocobo." Kat said pointing to the dead Chocobo.

"Oh, but where is Vincent or did something happen and you two had to separate?"

Sephiroth noted her confused expression, Kat was about to start talking when a weird feeling came from her cut on her forehead. Kat put her hand to her forehead and felt smooth skin and some drying blood but no cut.

"Um… I can't remember anything Sephiroth. I just remembered this picture was missing someone and I was showed your picture and it rang a bell." Kat said looking at her other injuries disappear then took out the picture of Kat with Cloud and Vincent and showed it to Sephiroth. He looked at it and said.

"Kat this is you with Cloud and Vincent. So you can't remember anything?"

"Right, I'm not sure how you even know my name." Kat said putting back in the duffle bag.

"Then why are you wandering around?"

" I am trying to remember what happened, and I thought that finding you would help." Kat said letting her duffle bag drop to the ground.

"Well lets reintroduce you to some people you know then." Sephiroth said walking back towards the Forgotten City. As they were entering the building the sound of someone crying came from a room down the hallway. Kadaj leaned against the door frame and said to someone in the room.

"Why do you have to be such a cry-baby?" Kat stood there looking at Kadaj for a while, his features were so similar to Sephiroth's that it was like they were brothers.

"Don't cry Loz." A smooth calm voice said from in the room. Kadaj looked over at Sephiroth and stopped leaning on the door frame and greeted him.

"Big brother, and…Kat." Kadaj said noticing Kat. The sound of the crying stopped when Kadaj said Kats name. Yazoo appeared at the door and smiled and said.

"Hello Kat, we haven't seen you in a long time." Yazoo looked like he was deep in thought for a moment and was about to say something when Sephiroth interrupted.

"What was Loz crying about this time?" Yazoo looked at Sephiroth and said.

"Same old thing, he thinks we were being mean."

"cry-baby…" Sephiroth muttered walking into the room, Kadaj and Yazoo followed him in. Kat walked to the door and hesitated for a moment then her Kadaj call from inside.

"Are you coming sister?" Kat froze "sister"!? When did she have siblings?

Kat looked into the room and saw Kadaj, Yazoo, and Sephiroth sitting at a table clearly waiting for her. Kat walked into the room and sat down, and asked.

"Um…how am I your sister? I mean I….Who are you two?" Kat asked noticing that Loz wasn't in the room. Kadaj looked confused and waited for Sephiroth to say something.

"Kat can't remember anything about us or anyone else for that matter."

"oh, well your our sister because of your Jenvoa cells in your body, we can sense that you have mothers cells or not. You don't have enough of mothers cells to be able to sense our family yet." Kadaj explained. Kat sat there as Kadaj explained how she was their sister. When he was done Kat was silent for a while and asked.

"So for this to have happened I must have been here a lot longer than a few days after waking up?"

"Yes, you were here for much longer than a few days."

Kat was silent for a few more minutes trying to swallow what she had learned.

"Kat…?"

"I need some time alone." Kat said getting up abruptly and walking out side. Kat stood at the waters edge looking out into the forest of shimmering trees thinking. For her to have been in this strange place for so long then her parents must have died before that. Kat's vision blurred with tears, how long had it been? Why couldn't she remember? What really happened to her? To her parents?

"Kat, are you ok?" Kat turned to see Vincent standing 5 feet behind her, tears streaming down her face.

"Why can't I remember?" Kat said quietly wiping away her tears for more to roll down her cheek. Vincent took a step towards Kat and she followed by taking a step back her boot splashing in the water.

"Your scared of me aren't you?" Vincent asked with a calm expression.

"I don't know who I can trust." Kat said ready to run at a moments notice.

"Then trust me, I am the person that knows you the best." Vincent said walking towards her, Kat didn't move transfixed by Vincent's crimson eyes (they are very dreamy).

Now Vincent was not even a foot away from Kat his eyes calm and focused on her.

"Kat, why are you so scared of me?" Vincent asked, Kat now noticing that she was shaking.

"Its not you but, that thing you can turn into." Kat said nervous at how close he was to her. Vincent smirked and said.

"You don't need to fear him, I have control. I wouldn't let him hurt you." Vincent said moving in closer then kissed Kat holding her close to him. Kat was freaked out by this but it felt so right to her that she didn't fight him. Instead Kat closed her eyes and relaxed some, somehow she knew he wasn't going to hurt her, and that he really did know her. When they parted Kat opened her eyes, and said.

"A kiss to remember, just like you Vincent." Kat said hugging him.
