A/N: Ok, so if it wasn't apparent in the last chapter, I'm just going to fill you in. Tseng was the one who called Tifa, after he read in Keela's file that she was pregnant. Anyway, now that that's over with... lol. Just a shout- out, Yume Fair is a character I made for my Mellon, gunitatsuhiko. And in addition, bringing someone back from the lifestream SUCKS! I may never do it again! Lol. As always, thank you for your inspiration Mellon. And I also forgot to add, Yuffie is being modeled after my Koibito, Riverseithr. And for once, I didn't end on a cliffhanger... YAY ME! Anyway, enjoy my lovelies!

The name echoed in his head. Yume Fair. He had been pulled out of the lifestream and deposited here for one purpose and one purpose only. 'Find my sister, 'Geal. Find her, and bring her home.' Easier said than done, puppy.Arriving on Gaia, Angeal looked around. Hn. Just outside Kalm. "Well at least I know where I am. That's a plus." He said to himself. He knew he had to get to Kalm, as he started walking, he found himself wishing there was a faster way. Instantly his balance was thrown off as one perfectly formed white wing sprung out of his back. "Wha- oh, motherfu-"In his frustration he looked up to the sky. "I'm going to kill you Zack!" He heard a laugh off in the distance. Sorry pal, but I'm already dead. Funny, real funny. Jerk.

Green eyes peeked out under burgundy hair. Yume brushed one of the purple accents out of her face as she turned the page. Trying to look like she hadn't noticed the tall man walking towards her. Just as he got within earshot, she said, "Is this some sort of zombie apocalypse or are you here for a reason." He gave her a puzzled look. She continued, "I was at your funeral, Angeal. What are you doing here? And corporeal of all things?"

Angeal took a seat next to her as he answered. "Perhaps it's my second chance. Time off for good behavior." She shook her head, "Nice try, Hewley. It doesn't work that way. Now spill it, before I spill you." Angeal sighed. Zack hadn't said he couldn't tell her, but he still was unsure whether he should or not. Yume could tell he was having an inner debate. "Tell me, 'Geal."

He smiled at her, he couldn't resist, she had said his name just the way Zack always did. "Alright, but I had better not catch any hell for it." After she agreed, he slowly told her what he knew. "Look, I don't know much other than that Zack told me to 'find you and bring you home', his exact words." Yume was silent for awhile but she finally lifted her head from its bent position and looked at him.

"I can't go home, 'Geal. ShinRa will try and use me. They know I have untapped powers, and they want me to join them. I won't."

Angeal patted her arm affectionately. "Yume fair, do you really think your only brother would send you back if it wasn't safe?"

Yume's eyes widened on reflex, and before she caught herself blurted out, "He's not my only brother." She regretted it the moment she said it and tried to cover her mouth, but it was too late.

"What do you mean Zack isn't your only brother?" Fuck. Now she was going to have to explain. "I don't know if I should tell you Angeal. I mean, if Zack didn't tell you, maybe I shouldn't."

Angeal thought for a moment, there were still some things he had left out. Things that even he was curious about. "Yume, Zack told me a few more things but some of them are confusing." Yume brightened a little.

"What parts? Perhaps I could help." Yume was hoping Zack had told Angeal about her other brother, so she wouldn't have to.

Angeal was almost sure now that she was hiding something. "Yume, why would Zack want me to take you to Reno of the TURKS?" He could tell that he had struck gold when she gasped. "What? Do you have a thing for him or something? I don't think his wife would like that too much." He laughed a little but kept his gaze on Yume. She was shaking her head. "Relax, Zack must obviously trust him." He thought the look on her face was fear. It wasn't. That's when it clicked. "No, I refuse to believe that Reno and Zack are related!"

Yume sighed, "They aren't. At least, not directly." The confusion was back on Angeal's face. Yume knew she'd have to tell him, whether she liked it or not. "I'm Zack's half sister, Angeal. We have the same father, but not the same mother. My mother's name was Lillian Montonati, Reno's mother. " She could tell Angeal was hurt about not being told before. "Don't be mad, 'Geal."

Angeal didn't say much, what did it matter to him if she was related to a TURK? It did matter though, it mattered a lot. Finally he gave in, "I'm not mad. I just- will you please come with me?" After a minute she nodded. "Did you say Reno is married?" Angeal laughed. "Yeah, and he's got a 1 year old daughter plus they just found out they have another baby on the way. You get to see a lot being in the lifestream. After we get your stuff I'll tell you all about them." With that, Yume led Angeal back to her apartment, she was nervous but she was smiling.

Vincent had been silent for a long time, and it was scaring Yuffie. Ever since the news of her drug use, she had avoided any confrontations with him. But now she was getting worried. She sought him out and found him at Seventh Heaven, talking with Tifa. Yuffie hesitated for a minute but eventually worked up the nerve to talk to him. "Um, Vincent? Can- can I talk to you for a minute?" To her surprise Vincent nodded to Tifa as she went to serve a customer and turned to look at her. His piercing red eyes almost making her lose her composure.

"Of course, Yuffie." What was she saying again? Oh, right. Damn those eyes messed with her mind. She was trying to remember what it was she wanted to say to him when he interrupted her thought process. "Yuffie, is this about the weed?" Yuffie's eyes got huge, the word had sounded so dirty coming from him. "Uh. Ye- yes. I uh, was worried-" Vincent smiled at her. His suspicions were confirmed, Yuffie was worried about what he thought of her now, which meant she cared for him.

"You have nothing to worry about, Yuffie. I do not think ill of you, despite your choices. In fact, there was a time i was in much the same way as you." He was smiling at her, so for a minute she thought he was joking, but then she remembered that Vincent rarely joked. "You- you're serious, aren't you?" To her ever loving amazement, he nodded again, with a smile. "Indeed. It was years ago, but I still understand the intrigue."

Yuffie just about fell over dead when Vincent walked up to her, put his arms around her waist and bent down to whisper in her ear. He smiled devilishly as he told her, "There isn't a thing on this planet you could do that would make me stop caring about you, Yuffie Kisaragi." The look on Yuffie's face at the realization that Vincent cared about her, was priceless, he couldn't resist. While she was still in shock, he bent down and kissed her. At first he thought, with the way she was responding to the kiss, that perhaps he had misjudged her feelings for him. He looked down at her and then threw back his head as his boisterous laugh echoed off the walls of the near empty bar. Yuffie definitely cared about him, just as he thought. In fact, Yuffie Kisaragi, had fainted.

Rude was doing some paperwork as Reno wandered into the office. "Hey, partner, what's on the agenda today?" Rude merely grunted in greeting, as he read over the file in front of him. While Reno was settling in for the day, Tseng walked in holding a piece of paper and looking distraught.

"Reno, did you by any chance use the chopper the other night?" Tseng asked, waiting for the denial.

"Hey, what's the use in being a TURK if one can't get one's way?" Reno said with a grin.

"Because the six figure salary has nothing to do with it." Rude added.

Reno raised his objection, "It doesn't count as six figures if there's a decimal."

Rude laughed as Tseng let out a sigh. "You're right Reno, with the decimal, its eight figures. And you'd see the whole thing a lot more often if you would stop wrecking the company choppers."

Reno jumped to his feet, "Hey, that last one wasn't my fault!"

Tseng shook his head a little before answering, "Whether it was or not, the insurance still billed you for it."

Reno grumbled under his breath, "Stupid malfunctioning helicopter. Stupid insurance."

Rude wasn't even trying to hold back his laughter, when Tseng piped up. "Kitsune, it is not 'malfunctioning' when you use your EMR on the control panel."

Reno sat back down and all but pouted as he mocked Tseng after he left. "Kitsune, it is not 'malfunctioning' when you use your EMR- you know what? I am the best damn pilot they have. I'd like to see the director fly as well as I do."

Reno wasn't really speaking to anyone in particular, so when Tseng's voice came from the other room, he jumped. "I heard that, Reno. Keep in mind, you learned all your, ahem- skills- from me." Reno could just see the look Tseng would have on his face if he had said that to Reno's face. It made him wince. Not a pretty picture.

Uncomfortably, he looked at Rude, who was still recovering from his laughter. "Yo, that aint cool. You could've told me he was still in earshot."

Rude sobered up a bit before answering. "Reno, its Tseng, he's always within earshot." With that he started laughing again.

Reno watched as Rude took his phone out of his pocket and slid the keypad down. "Fuck, yo, you're texting Keela aren't you?" Rude's laugh was his only answer. Yup, he's texting Keela. Traitor.
