AN: Here it is, the fifth chapter of OWAA. Sorry it took so long. School had swamped me with being a coordinator for a banquet and I was suppose to have help, but it was barely there. So I have been recovering from the stress and what not. This chapter is a filler more or less as well as the next chapter. You will see why later on.

Thank you to all those who has reviewed, faved, alerted this story to their list. I apologize for the wait, but I will try to update every two weeks to the best of my abilities.

So without further complaints from me, I present you lovely readers Chapter 5 of OWAA

"Wait a minute! Just let me get this straight!" a rather loud obnoxious woman shouted. Her raven hair moving slightly as she turned to face Kaisu. "You're letting Sephiroth, the man who has tried to take over the planet multiple times, live with you? Are you insane?" the raven questioned incredulously.

"Maybe I am," Kaisu said as he released his head from between his hands. Really, the other needs to stop shouting at people when they were only right next to her. "After all, I did said that Sephiroth was at my house not too long ago. Unless you're going insane-not that I'm surprised.'

Yuffie just pretended that she didn't hear the other's last comment and continued on. "But he nearly killed all of us!" Yuffie exclaimed, throwing her arms up in the air. Luckily, the bar was closed so no one would be able to get hit by the raven haired girl.

Kaisu groaned inwardly as the always hyped up ninja wouldn't shut up. He was seriously close to killing the woman. Especially since his headache seem to only worsen with each passing second she would talk.

"Kaisu," Tifa called from behind the bar.

Kaisu looked up to see Tifa sliding him a drink and he was grateful for it. He nodded his head in thanks before taking a swing of the beverage. The drink was sweet for the most part, but Kaisu was still able to taste the hint of alcohol-strong alcohol. He set his glass down with a sigh as he could still hear the ninja talking.

"Kaisy! Why are you letting Sephiroth stay with you?" Yuffie whined in a high pitch tone. That was the last question Kaisu heard before he couldn't take it anymore.

"If I answer one of your questions, will you leave me alone?" Kaisu inquired. He turned his head to gaze at Yuffie and vaguely thought that the other needed to learn how to shut up. At the other's nod, Kaisu took another swing of his drink before answering. "The Sephiroth now, is not the Sephiroth of the past ten years."

"How do you know that?"

"Only one. Not answering another. Leave."

"Fine then!" Yuffie shouted as she left the bar.

"Finally," Kaisu sighed as he downed the rest of his drink. The headache finally receding enough at the sudden quietness that had emerged with the ninja gone. "You'd think that after everything that happened, she would learn to calm down a bit."

"It's Yuffie. You can't expect anything else, can you," Tifa said lightly. A smile on her face as she took the empty glass from Kaisu. The brunette then proceeded to wash the glass. A few moments later, her smile disappeared as she asked the question that's been on her mind. "Is he really different?"

Knowing who Tifa was talking about, Kaisu gave a slight nod of his head. "It's like the past ten years never happened for him," Kaisu said in a soft voice. The memories he had tried to forget resurfacing for a moment before going away again. His heart giving a slight stab of pain as well. The pain just wouldn't go away no matter how hard he tried or wanted to. He had been hurt too many times.

Tifa casted a concern gaze towards her friend. She could see that Kaisu was still in pain no matter how many years had passed, but she still hoped that it would go away soon. Kaisu had been the only one who had yet to find a semblance of happiness, while everyone else did. The other finally deserved happiness after everything that has happen.

Seeing the concern gaze from the other, Kaisu gave a soft smile. "I'll be okay Tifa." Kaisu took out his wallet and placed a few gils on the table. "Thanks for the drink Tifa, but I have to get going or I'll be late for my next job."

"Come visit soon. The kids want to spend some time with you soon."

"I will," Kaisu promised. He stood up and left Seventh Heaven with a wave of his got on his motorcycle with thoughts on his next job. His next job being that of extermination of some monsters on the outskirts of Kalm that the locals couldn't handle. The feeling that the day was going to be long on Kaisu's mind. With the engine turned on Kaisu headed off to Kalm.

With the last of the monster sliced in half as the rest had long since scattered, Kaisu looked to the sky to see that the sun was close to setting. Knowing the risk of heading back to Edge at night he went to the inn back at Kalm. The people who had hired Kaisu for the job-upon seeing that he was unharmed and reported finishing the job-paid him a large amount of money, even though they had already paid in advance. Kaisu had protested, but the citizens persisted and in the end, he found himself with more money than what was originally for the job.

After that, Kaisu went to the inn in town and paid for a room. Once in the room Kaisu laid on the bed. It wasn't the most comfortable bed he had ever paid for, but he was exhausted. Not only from the extermination of the monsters, but from everything that had happened to him up to that point. His mind drifting to a past he had never really thought about or allowed him to. It was rare that Kaisu did, but he felt like he had to. He thought about his family, SOLDIER, Sephiroth-everything that just drifted towards the front of his brain. Even the bad things that had happened.

To Kaisu, the past was such a forbidden thought. The only outcome that he had ever gained was the sadness that accompanied the memories. From his parents dying when he was only seven, being adopted by a family that didn't care for him, when he was betrayed by the one he loved, and losing all those people he had held dear to him. Still, he had made some good memories to counteract the bad ones. As Kaisu continued to ponder about the past, he didn't realize when he had drifted off to sleep.

Kaisu woke up when the sun had just rose past the horizon. He didn't know what had caused him to wake so early, but what he did notice were the wetness against his cheeks. He brought his hands up to his face to wipe away the wetness from his face which he had belatedly realize were tears. He had been crying in his sleep. Though what had brought on the tears was only a slight mystery as Kaisu had a feeling that the tears were brought upon from thinking of the past.

Kaisu sighed after a while of just lying on the bed. He got off of the bed and went towards the bathroom to do his morning rituals. Once he was done, Kaisu went to check out. Kaisu slowly made his way towards his bike, but before he could even get on it his phone rang. He quickly took his phone out and answered it.

"Kaisu speaking," Kaisu answered as he swung his leg over his bike.

"Hey Kaisu, it's Tifa. I was wondering if you could pick up Marlene and Denzel from school. The bar's pack at the moment and I don't see it letting up anytime soon," Tifa asked. Kaisu could hear people chattering in the background loudly and it was giving him a headache.

"Fine, but I'm going to have to pick them up on the bike," Kaisu said as he looked towards the sky. He noted that if he headed out now, he would be able to get the school an hour before it ended and that was without any distraction. "I might not have time to get your car."

"It's fine Kaisu. And sorry for the bother, but everyone else is busy or too far away," Tifa apologized

"It's understandable," Kaisu said. "I'll see you when I bring the kids with me to the bar." When he heard an affirmative noise from the other side of the line did he hang up and placed his phone in his pocket. Starting his motorcycle Kaisu headed back to Edge.

Just like Kaisu predicted, it took him until a little before the bell rang to signal the end of school. When the bell rang Kaisu scanned the grounds for Marlene and Denzel as soon as the first kids began to emerge from the double doors. As soon as the two kids were in his sight he walked up to them. When the exSOLDIER saw the questioning looks aimed at him he explained with a short answer. "Tifa asked, everyone was busy."

"Okay," Marlene said happily. She allowed Kaisu to help her get on the motorcycle and waited for the other two.

Kaisu got on before he helped Denzel get on behind him. When he felt Denzel grab onto his shirt, Kaisu headed off to Seventh Heaven in a leisurely pace. He didn't want to rush as he had both Denzel and Marlene with him. Even with the slow pace, he was able to get to the back entrance of the bar with plenty of time to spare. He helped the kids get off his bike, but froze when he heard the sound of glass shattering on the floor. Immediately picking up that it was inside the bar Kaisu went in with one of his twin swords. His body in a position that allowed him to attack and defend if the need arose.

Kaisu entered the bar quietly and what he saw had him frozen. There standing in the middle of the bar was a man that looked exactly like him. Everything was practically the same except for the eyes. They were blood red. Kaisu could see that Tifa had her hand out in front of her as if she had previously held something in it and his mind registered that a glass falling had made that sound earlier. Everyone stayed frozen at the sight of two Kaisu.

"Kaisu Silverheart," the male said, directing his sentence to the real Kaisu. "It's good to finally meet one another."

"Are you an experiment of Hojo's?" Kaisu questioned. He wasn't going to let his guard down until he knew that the other meant no harm to the people inside of the bar. And if he knew anything about Hojo, he knew that the bastard was the only one who was capable of making a clone and ensure that it was highly dangerous. After all the man had no qualms in making mutated monsters or using his own child as an experiment.

The double just smiled bitterly at the sound of the name. "Yes and no."

When the exSOLDIER heard those words his entire body tensed further. He was trying to decipher what the other had meant. Was he Hojo's experiment or not? And if he was, what did the other meant by saying no as well?

Seeing Kaisu's confusion, the clone answered the unspoken question. "Hojo may have been the one to create me, but he is not my master. The one who is my master is the man who found me and took care of me." The clone's eyes softened at the thought of the man who had rescued him from that hellhole.

Curious, Kaisu asked, "What is his name?"

"You know him. He was once was your friend."

"His name?"

"Genesis."

AN: There you have it my dear readers. The fifth chapter of OWAA. Sorry it's late and everything. But this is a filler as I needed something to lead up to the seventh chapter. I hope it was to your satisfaction.

So review, fav, or alert this story or whatever you do after you read stories. But reviews would do great for me to see how I am doing.

Until next time.

A preview for everyone. Talks of Genesis and a look into Kaisu's past.
