Chapter 3

AN/ sorry for the progressingly short chapters.

Jay scrunched her nose at the smell of rust and old mako. Not pleasant. She followed the Pulling sensation, now she was moving completley under its control. She climbed down some chains, and across a bridge. Upon coming through the door, and looking up, she saw a large pile of debris. a glint of silver was shining through it. She approached, touched the silver. As soon as she made contact, she drew her hand back, blood was drawn.

She began moving the debris. bit by bit, a sword was revealed... A seven foot long Katana. Jay looked down on it. She knew she had seen it somewhere before. She knealt down beside it, and grasped the handle. a rush of power flooded through Jay as soon as she grasped it. Her vision was suddenly seven times better, she felt stronger, faster, lighter.

She looked at the sword for a moment. It felt natural in her palm grip. She looked over the blade. It hummed slightly. "(At last, we are united." The voice said. Completley clear this time. Jay looked around, then at the sword. "Who are you?" She asked.

"Im no longer a who... but a what. I used to be the wielder of this sword. now... i AM this sword." The voice replied.

"Why was i pulled to you?" Jay asked.

"Because you and i are tied by an unbreakable bond. You are the reincarnation of me." The sword spoke. Jay looked at the sword. now growing scared of it.

"Who are you then?" She asked, trembling now.

"Me?... Dear girl, I am the masamune. And i used to be Sephiroth." Jay wanted to drop the sword and run, but her feat were stuck to the floor. "no... thats not true!" Jay protested. Every fiber of her beign was screaming that it wasnt true, but she knew it was. "it cant..."

"Come now, their is no need to Cry." Masmaune said as Jay dropped.

"Your wrong! Im not yuor reincarnation! my mother and father made me! Not you!" She was filled with anger, sorrow, and denial.

"Allow me to explain, Jay. When i was destroyed three years ago, part of my life stream escaped. I gave it speciffic instructions to fuse with another lifestream source... And it found you.I then trapped my conciousness within my sword, which has taken twelve years to form. And now i'm here."

Jay looked at the sword. "No...it cant be..." A scabbered appeared at her side, and the masamuen twitched for her to sheath it.. She fell to her hands and knees, struggling to hold back tears. "you can do with me what you will. but i would prefer you kept my existance a secret. you should get back home. it will be sunrise soon." Jay stood, and walked slowly out of the reactor, and back for home.

As she walked, she felt empty. What would her mother think if she found out? what would Sare, Carol, Or Macy think if they found out? Would they drive her away? She cried at the thought. How could Sare drive her away? but if he learned who she was, then he might start hating her for it. She re-entered the town.

She Hid the masamune in her closet, and lay down under the blankets. she fell asleep instantly... into a cold, dreamless sleep.
