Kat was sitting in the corner of the spare room when Vincent woke up. As he sat up Kat didn't even look over at him.
"Kat is everything alright?" Vincent asked noticing her change of behavior.
"Everything is fine. You should rest, I'll tell them you woke up." Kat said with no emotion as she got up and left the room. Everyone was talking down at the bar. It was midday and there were people coming in to get lunch. Kat walked downstairs and over to Tifa.
"Vincent woke up."
"That's good you should go spend some time with him." Tifa said with a smile hoping to cheer up Kat. No one had been told why she was acting the way she was.
"No, he needs his rest." Kat sat down at the bar as Reno and Tseng walked in.
"Tifa can I get a beer?" Kat asked not even acknowledging the two Turks in the bar.
"Hey," Tseng said to Kat as he started to walk over. "your coming -" He stopped talking as Kat gave him an icy glare and pulled out Vincent's Cerberus from her jacket.
"No I am not going with you. Try and make me and I'll kill you." Kat said in her cold voice that was so rarely herd. The people in the bar started to leave putting the gil they owed on the tables. Tifa gave Kat a beer and walked over to Tseng and Reno.
"What do you want?" she asked in a bitter tone. Tseng looked away from Kat for a moment then said.
"Get us two beers…and we wont take her for now." Tseng said sitting at the bar away from Kat. While Tseng and Reno drank their beers Tseng keep looking over at Kat to see if she had the gun in hand.
[Shin-ra building
"Damn it get out of there!" Rude yelled at the bathroom door in the Turks area.
"Aya come on! Rude is going to lose it!" Elane yelled at the bathroom door.
Aya opened the door slightly glaring at them and said.
"I was only in there for a few hours. I don't see your panic." Aya pushed the door open and left. Rude practically jumped into the bathroom and closed the door. Elane followed Aya glaring at her.
"Just because you know how to find the project girl doesn't mean you get to push us around like you own the place." Aya turned and gave Elane a cold glare.
"I don't own the place. Only thing I am interested here is getting Kat back and leaving that thing that infested her body her as Hojo's dear pet." Aya left the room with Elane starring at her confused.
[Seventh Heaven
Kat got up putting a few Gil on the counter and walked out of the Seventh Heaven. Tseng said something to Reno and they paid and followed Kat out. Kat walked to a notice board and pretended to be reading it. When she herd Tseng get close she turned and brought her leg up and kicked Tseng back. Reno got his Electric Rod out and turned it on. Kat followed her kick by a punch to the face sending Tseng back cussing. Kat turned in time to dodge a swing by Reno. Kat punched Reno in the floating ribs. Tseng shot at Kat the bullet grazing Kats cheek taking the skin where it barley touched her with it. Kat took Cerberus from her jacket and shot Tseng in the shoulder and the gut. (3rd shot missed [Cerberus is a 3 barrel gun) Reno hit Kat in the side with his Electric Rod, the electricity traveled to the Cerberus and burnt Kats hand making her drop it. Reno who was taking in the glory of hitting Kat didn't see Kat hit him in the gut knocking the air out of him and then hitting the nerves in the side of his neck sending him to the ground. Kat picked up Cerberus again and pinned Reno down Cerberus pressed against his chest. Reno looked up at Kat who had a crewel smile on her face. Her red eyes were as cold as ice.
"I should just kill you now. End one of my troubles right now."
"Damn it get off me." Reno cussed. Kat was about to pull the trigger when she herd a familiar voice breaking her icy focus and sending her eyes wide.
"Kat let him up." Kat looked up to see Aya standing by Tseng.
"Aya-" Kat stopped when she saw Aya's eyes.
"What did they do to you?" Reno took advantage of Kats distraction putting her face in the dirt and taking Cerberus away from her. Elane and Rude showed up. Rude helped Reno hold Kat down while Elane went to help Tseng.
"Aya! Don't just stand there and let them take me! I'm your friend!" Kat yelled.
"I'm sorry but you aren't my friend with that thing in you." (she means Rage) Aya said as she watched Reno cuff Kat. When they lifted Kat up she started kicking. She got a good kick to Reno before he hit her with the Electric Rod making Kat cry out in pain. Kat's body went num after that. Kat just looked at Aya and what she had become. She had betrayed Kat let Shin-ra take her. Kats thoughts went back to Tifa in the bar. Kat wondered why Tifa hadn't helped her when the other Turks came. Were they all just giving Kat to Shin-ra? Were they tired of having to help Kat stay away from them? Even Vincent? Kat was taken away back to the Shin-ra labs.
[Inside Seventh Heaven
When Kat walked outside Vincent had come out of the spare room and was trying to make it down stairs. Nearly falling Tifa caught him.
"Vincent what are you doing? You aren't strong enough to be up walking." Tifa said taking him back upstairs.
"I want to see Kat. I herd Tseng here."
"Vincent they left Kat will be fine. She has your gun." Tifa said taking Vincent to the spare room.
"Now stay here, you cant help Kat at all if you cant walk." Vincent sighed Tifa wasn't going to let him leave yet and he knew that something must have happened before the Turks left. Tifa walked down stairs and looked to the front of the shop expecting to see Kat and there was no one there. Tifa ran out front and saw blood on the pavement.
At this time Cloud was just getting back.
"Cloud! Kat's gone!" Tifa said as she ran over to him.
"What?"
"I left Kat for a few minutes to get Vincent back upstairs and when I came back she was gone. Tseng and Reno were here when Kat was she had Vincent's gun I thought that nothing would happen."
"We can't tell Vincent about this yet. Hopefully we can get Kat back before he is up and walking again."
"Cloud, Vincent is going to be up and walking by tomorrow at the latest." Tifa said. Cloud took out his phone and called Cid.
"Cid start calling everyone to meet at the bar as soon as possible. Kat has gone missing, we think Shin-ra got her again." Cloud then called Barret up and told him the same thing he told Cid. In an hour everyone was at the bar and quietly discussing what they should do.
"Well its clear we gotta break in to Shin-ra and get the kid out." Cid said.
"We can't just walk in and ask where they are keeping Kat." Yuffie said.
"Unfortunately Yuffie is right, we can't just walk in fully armed." Barret said.
Upstairs Vincent sat on the window sill listening to what the meeting was about.
Think we could get her back?
Depends, how do you plan on getting in?
They will recognize me if I just go there and I can't use brute force at the moment with my injuries.
So what do you plan to do then? It is kind of hard not to notice you.
Then we will infiltrate Shin-ra. Its not like I don't have my Turk ID card.
Well Valentine I never knew you were up for something this sneaky like this. But I think it would work.
Then its settled. Lets get back to the house to get ready. Vincent turned into Chaos and took flight back to his home. Once there Vincent found his Turk suit and ID card. Then he took the scissors to his hair cutting it to the way it was before Hojo did the experiments on him. Vincent looked at himself in the mirror remembering the old Vincent.
Don't forget your eyes. Chaos reminded him. Vincent put on a pair of sunglasses and left for the Shin-ra building. Once there he walked in and the woman at the front desk just glanced at him then went back to her work. Vincent we to the elevators and went down to the labs. When he got down there a man in a lab coat said.
"What are you doing down here Turk?"
"I have a message from the president for Hojo."
The man looked at him for a moment them pointed to the door leading to Hojo's lab. He is in there. Don't waist his time he needs to get to work on the project now that we have it back. Vincent opened the door to see Kat chained to a chair while Hojo was out. Kat glared at Vincent not recognizing him.
"What do you want? Let me guess Rufus wants something else done to me?" Kat said in a vile tone.
"Kat calm down its me." Vincent said taking off his sunglasses.
"Vincent, I knew I would have some attempt to get her out but I didn't think you would make it this far." Hojo said in his creepy calm tone. Vincent turned to the door way where Hojo was standing.
"Hojo I am taking her with me." Vincent said glaring at him.
"Fine with me, she is done now." Hojo said walking over to Kat and unchaining her. Once she was free Kat tried to attack Hojo but was held back by Vincent.
"Kat leave him."
"Not after what he did to me!" Vincent pulled Kat out of the room and too the Elevator. Once inside and heading up he let her go.
"Kat what did Hojo do to you?"
"All he did was give me about a dozen shots then left." before they could talk more they reached the ground floor and Vincent glanced at the front desk there was no one there. Vincent took Kat to his place and asked.
"What happened to you? You have been different since Sephiroth attacked me."
"When I found out what Sephiroth did to you I got you to Tifa then I went back to the Forgotten City. Sephiroth was planning to kill every so he could take me. Cloud had followed me and they started to fight. And when Sephiroth was about to kill Cloud…I-I killed him." Kat said tears streaming down her face. Vincent hugged her, Kat rested her head against Vincent's chest. After a moment Kat looked up at Vincent's face and smiled.
"You didn't cut your hair strait."
"Haven't cut my hair in 20 years what do you expect?" he smiled at her.
"We should tell Tifa and everyone that we are fine." Kat said.
" Do that in the morning for now go to bed." Vincent said letting go of Kat. Kat nodded heading upstairs to the room that Vincent let her stay in. Vincent went to the basement. Down there he had his coffin, an old leather couch with a coffee table in front of it. And a few tables with dim lamps on them. He sat on the couch still in the Turk suit. Almost an hour later Vincent her the door to the basement open. Kat walked downstairs and saw Vincent watching her. Kat walked over to Vincent and was about to speak when he said.
"Its ok." He grabbed her hand and pulled her down to him and he kissed her. When they parted he whispered.
"This is your home too." They continued kissing and Vincent pulled off Kats jacket she had on. Kat started unbuttoning the shirt that Vincent had on. It wasn't long until they were both unclothed. They spent the night together.
[next day
Kat woke first with Vincent next to her on the couch. She brushed some of his unevenly cut hair out of his face waking him. He smiled at her and kissed her before sitting up. Kat sat up too and said.
"I love you." She put her head on his smooth chest. Vincent hugged Kat tightly. Kat put on Vincent's button up shirt that acted more like a short cut dress while he just put his pants back on. They spent more time just sitting with each other. A sound came from upstairs and before they could do anything Cloud walked downstairs and saw them.
"Hey Cloud is he-"Tifa asked as she walked downstairs and stopped talking when she saw them.
"What are ya two doin dow-" Cid asked as he too walked downstairs and saw Kat and Vincent.
"Damn Vincent what did you do just jump the Kid?"
"Can you guys like, go back upstairs and let us get dressed?" Kat said. They went upstairs without question. Kat and Vincent started getting dressed.
"This is just perfect. They aren't going to drop this." Vincent said.
"Well what did you think they would do after seeing us? Pretend they saw nothing?"
"I wish they would…" Vincent said. Once they were dressed they went upstairs and saw everyone waiting expecting and explanation of what happened.
"Well? How do you explain that?" Tifa asked.
"Tifa its simple, Vinny boy here is a hound." Cid said he seemed to be the only one not freaked out by what happened. Vincent glared at Cid clearly not liking him trying to "help" with the matter.
"What do you think happened down there Tifa?" Vincent said leading Kat out the door. Before they could stop Vincent he picked up Kat changed into Chaos and took off. Kat didn't complain she didn't want to explain that either. Tifa had become a mother to Kat and Kat a daughter (adopted tho)to her. Kat was glad to be with Vincent flying away from their problem at the moment even if he was in Chaos's form.
"Chaos, Vincent can hear whatever is said that you hear?" Kat asked.
"Yes, he can. Why?"
"Well Vincent we didn't really think it would go as far as it did and well we weren't protected, so could we like keep this quiet?"
"He says he would prefer it that way."
You know what will happen if what your scared of happening did happen right? Rage said.
Ya I know what will happen.
When they landed Kat looked at Vincent's hair and said.
"We need to get your hair fixed."
"Yes, I guess so." Vincent said. They made their way to a hair parlor and Vincent got his hair fixed while Kat got her hair cut to mid-back length where her hair was all black. When they left Vincent's hair looked much better than his makeshift hair cut.
[Seventh Heaven
"That hound finally got her." Cid said. Tifa sighed and said.
"Lets drop the topic ok, I don't want them to feel like we are going to pester them about it."
"I agree with Tifa, lets just leave it be." Cloud said as Vincent and Kat came into the bar.
"So Vincent you got your hair cut. It looked a lot more choppy when we saw you earlier." Tifa said trying to keep from the incident earlier.
"Yes well I had to get Kat out of the Shin-ra labs and that was the best way in."
[Shin-ra Building
"You let them just leave?" Rufus said looking at Hojo enraged.
"Catching her again wont be any trouble. She cant transform unless she is in life threatening danger."
"You suppressed her powers? So she is now like she was?"
"Yes, so catching her again shouldn't prove difficult for the Turks."
"Provided Tseng lives it shouldn't be any problem. You can go." Rufus said to Hojo as Aya walked in.
"You said that you would get rid of that thing in her. You lied to me."
"I didn't lie to you, her other half has been suppressed."
"You were going to let her come home. You lied to me."
"Her home is here not in your town or wherever you came from."
"Fine, I am going to find her and take her back to Japan." Aya said and was about to leave but was stopped by Rufus talking.
"There is no place called Japan in this world. So you came from the other world like our little Cetra. You are going to lead us to the place you got here. And then you are going to tell us how to get to your world. Then, after that you are going to help us take control. After you do that I might let you be with our little Cetra."
"No." Aya said and went to walk out again but the way was blocked by Reno, Rude, Elane, and Kate.
"No I think you will." Rufus said with a smile.
